DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), led by Elon Musk, is making waves as it goes through government accounts to cut outrageous spending that has long affected Washington, DC.
Today, we’ll look at just one of the agencies DOGE is auditing: USAID. (United States Agency for International Development)
This agency has had to provide no accountability for decades. Despite the benevolent name, it isn’t just out there helping poor children in third-world countries access clean water.
In fact, this agency has been downright malicious in its efforts to control world media and to spread its agenda globally. It’s absolute madness.
And please remember, this is an agency funded by our tax dollars.
Below, find just a few of the wild expenditures.
Let’s DEI the whole world
Many of the expenditures have gone to make the rest of the world more DEI and LBGTQ-friendly.
- $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
- $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
- $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
- $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
- $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
- $16 million in funding for institutional contractors in gender development offices
Promoting the climate change agenda
- $4 million of funding for the Center for Climate-Positive Development
- $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
Weird money to send to other countries
- $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
- $12 million in support services to the Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security
- $6 million in non-emergency funding for redundant administrative supports for the Center of Excellence
- $3 million in non-emergency funding to provide evaluation services for planning and learning programs
Global health agendas
- Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
- $37 million to the World Health Organization
- $600,000 to fund technical assistance for family planning in Latin America
- Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
Directly funding terrorist groups that are enemies of the US
- Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
- “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
- Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban
- $50 million to fund condoms in Gaza
George Soros…yes, that George Soros
- $270 million to the East-West Management Institute, an organization partnered with George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, in the last 15 years, according to data from USASpending.gov
- Funding programs including judicial reform, legal aid, and rule of law initiatives in countries like Albania, Armenia, Cambodia, and Georgia
- The Anti-Corruption Action Centre, another Soros-backed entity, also lists USAID as its largest donor, providing 20.7% of its funding
Influencing national and worldwide media
Honestly, now it seems like everyone is Pravda.
USAID has been using these funds to provide training and support to “strengthen independent media,” including large media organizations and smaller or individual media sources operating under “repressive conditions.” (Hey, some of us independent media folks here at home are being repressed!)
- Reporters Without Borders (RSF) revealed that USAID funded 6,200 journalists, 707 non-state media outlets, and 279 media-focused NGOs in more than 30 countries in 2023.
- $8.2 million to Politico for “pro memberships”
- BBC
- The 2025 budget allocated $268.4 million to support “independent media and the free flow of information”
- The New York Times received tens of millions, primarily awarded via the US Dept of Health and Human Services and the National Science Foundation (Just in case you wondered why they pimped the Covid vax so enthusiastically)
- AP and Reuters also received millions in funds
- Multimillion dollar investments in Hungarian news to promote “a free press”
So all that time, folks like us were being accused of peddling conspiracy theories (that were later proven true), being defunded, and being discredited can be traced directly back to our own government. The “fact checks,” the “hit pieces,” and “expert opinions were bought and paid for by the government. And for the record, RFK Jr has been telling us this for several years.
This is state-sponsored propaganda, plain and simple. And you can expect the “mainstream media” to scramble and say that none of this is true or we don’t understand. Everything on the first four pages of Google is articles excusing the expenditures or trying to “debunk” these claims.
We came so close to losing our country forever.
I firmly believe that had our new administration not begun investigating all this, we’d have been lost as a free country with free speech and free media. We came centimeters away from losing it all, forever.
This list is by no means comprehensive and you can expect to see many more shocking revelations of where our tax dollars have been going. If you’re not outraged, you are suffering from such cognitive dissonance that can never be cured.
What do you think about all this? Did you realize how much was being spent on propaganda, DEI, climate change, and influencing other countries?
Let’s discuss it in the comments section.
