USAID is a rabbit hole subsidizing everything from Islamic terrorists to leftist activist groups.
Freezing the outlay has sent them scurrying and demanding more money or everyone will die.
Nonprofits sue Trump administration for freezing foreign aid: The groups said the freeze violates Congress’ wishes and is endangering lives in developing countries. – Politico
A liberal-leaning advocacy group filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday seeking to halt the freeze on foreign aid the administration has imposed.
The group, Public Citizen, argues the freeze on funds appropriated by Congress is unlawful and is endangering lives abroad.
“When programs like the ones run by our clients are abruptly shuttered, the impacts are felt throughout the world — with the most vulnerable people bearing the deadliest impact,” Public Citizen attorney Lauren Bateman, the lead lawyer on the case, said in a statement.
Public Citizens’ two named clients are the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Journalism Development Network.
JDN is better known as the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and is funded by George Soros, the Ford Foundation, and other members of the leftist activist funding network.
OCCRP had spent a good deal of time attacking Trump, but now claims that it’s apolitical.
OCCRP has recently become the target of a conspiracy theory suggesting that we worked with one of our donors, USAID, to undermine President Donald Trump during his first administration.
This is simply untrue, and it’s not how OCCRP operates.
Here are the facts: One of our stories was cited in a 2019 whistleblower complaint filed against President Donald Trump. The complaint then sparked his first impeachment. That story, like all stories we do, was reported without our donors’ knowledge or input. OCCRP had no contact with the whistleblower, and was unaware of the complaint until after it was reported by U.S. domestic media. No one has disputed the accuracy of any facts in OCCRP’s story, including the people we wrote about. Meanwhile, those promoting conspiracy theories about our reporting have offered no proof of their allegations.
OCCRP is apolitical. We are funded by many different donors, including members of the public, private institutions, and the development agencies of a number of democratic countries.
When you’re funded by Soros, Ford, the Knight Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers, you’re not ‘apolitical’. These folks don’t fund apolitical organizations.
And when Public Citizen rolls together an AIDS vaccine group with a leftist advocacy group and claims people will die unless they get money, AIDS is being used as a shield for political activism.
If OOCRP needs money that badly, it can ask George or Alex Soros for a raise.
I’m not surprised Politico is squealing about USAID being shut down, seeing how it was a major recipient of USAID funds.
I bet Public Citizens, the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, the Journalism Development Network and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project were also all collecting funds from USAID. Except for the corrupt AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, all those organizations do the opposite of what their names insinuate, which is the norm for left-wing organizations.
People will die somewhere if you don’t give me money-laughably stupid. I would hazard to guess that a great many more people have died as a result of USAID money than have been helped.
Not only that but none of the money disbursed by USAID was meant to “develop” foreign countries, much less save lives. It was all meant to push “woke” policies and aid America’s enemies against our allies. ALL of it. And our enemies pocketed most of the money disbursed rather than spending it on insane “woke” policies which they detest.
And tens or hundreds of billions of dollars ended up with the worst enemy America has, the Dirtbagocrat party.
Hmmm – what about selling some gold, paintings and other stuff, Vatican?
What about being responsible and do the work yourself, church?
This is so shameful.
I read an article some days ago – “The peace industry is bleeding”.
Now it is “Charity is bleeding/dying”?
The good samaritan paid for everything himself.
He didn´t ask Rome for money.
Satan won’t cut loose of his Vatican money. No more $500 dollar wine for the sodamite priests and their pedo pope. “You will know them by their fruits “.
I think Pope Commie is too busy accommodating islamopithecine invaders and illegal aliens invaders into America to sodomize any Altar Boys.
When he was appointed by the Council of Cardinals with the express purpose of promoting illegal immigration from Latin America into the USA, I knew he was going to choose “Francis” as his dorky Pope name. “Saint.” As if anybody is holier than thou. He looks like the type of guy who’d fart during dinner.
Selling the Vatican’s treasures because an atheist, communist, pedophile protector occupies the papacy
Is literally like demanding that America sell her treasures because criminals and traitors occupy the White House, nearly half of Congress, most Federal benches, and – until a few weeks ago – all of the administrative state agencies.
I might add that communists – like Muslims – have always seized the property of all Churches – and to no effect.
Satan’s minions cannot stop the Church even if they hijack it or steal its treasures.
President Trump is working to remove all anti Christian material and programs from the federal government and he’s very serious about it. He’s no prig like Jimmuh Carter or Moslem fraud who attended a black supremacist anti church to earn him credit with the Chicago Boyz N’ the Gutter, like Brokeback Hasbeen Obama.
The anti Christian programs of Alzheimer Joe’s handlers are being dismantled and excised from the federal government while us ordinary Americans get on with our lives. President Trump and his Cabinet heads are purging anti Christian programs as fast and completely as they’re purging pro tranny programs. I have no doubt Beijing Biden’s handlers would’ve their anti Christian programs to pogroms if they thought they could’ve gotten away with it.
That gourmet food, fine wine, pedicures/manicures, trips to Switzerland and other luxuries vacation spots, expense accounts, etc. cost lots of money. We can’t expect Vatican City to pay for any of that. That’s what Church donations, Western aid and Italian tax euros are for. Those goofy robes and hats probably cost a lot, too.
Didn’t Joe Bite-Me just award America-hating billionaire George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom? I’ll bet the “big guy” got paid a pretty penny for that.
I believe it was the Audobon Society along with Earth First that successfully sued USAID to stop sending aid to countries still using DDT which was a means to stop the spread of malaria that was killing millions of people, mostly young children, around the world.
Today, I’ve read that “non-profits” are profiting from USAID while the end recipients of this aid receive a mere pittance from them.
Back when the Audubon Society tried to drop their origional meaning to Save the Birds they even attempted to replace the Great Egret with a Blue Flag now do they still support Wind Turbines and Solar Panels?
Yes, and the lie that DDT renders bird eggs unproductive, contrived by that degenerate snatch, Rachel Carson, was made up out of whole cloth in her book “False Dawn,” which was swallowed hooker, line and stinker by the whole world.
As if there’s ever been a shortage of birds in the world since they first appeared. And there are more of them in cities than wilderness areas here in America. America ain’t the Amazon.
Even if people are dying, there is no legal doctrine that says the US must provide funds to save them. We do it out of a moral obligation based on a system of priorities. The President sets those priorities and this particular President has prioritized US citizens over foreigners. It’s about time.
While that’s true, JL
… I think most of us – at least here at FPM –
are not ticked off by spending money to save some child dying of AIDS (that will never see a dime)
We are ticked off by spending money to start wars, fund terrorism, and sow suffering and misery.
Yes and it’s a moot point because USAID didn’t spend ANY of our tax dollars on dying foreigners. Foreign populations don’t starve or die from pandemics anymore, especially not the Wuhan Flu but they do kill each other in marked numbers. USAID doesn’t spend our tax dollars on that, either. The trannies and their “woke” cheerleaders will claim Guatemalans will die without American paid “sex change” surgeries but we all know how full of shit those lowlifes are. As full of it as USAID.
A variation on the plaintive cry, “it’s for the chooldren.” A tug on the heart strings. There’s always an innocent victim somewhere who will starve if you don’t do what the progressives want. They may even be able to show some photos of the sad little waifs. They don’t show the photos of the victims of unsocialized thugs who grow up w/o fathers.
The trade-offs are policy decisions to be made by elected officials, not unelected dictators in black robes.
“Its for the children” and “you’re a professional” have a history of being top phrases used by administrators and supervisors to manipulate teachers.
How is the whole world in danger with the end of USAID? I think the people in “danger” are those screaming the loudest, THOSE corrupt politicians and NGO’s that have been benefitting from it. Think about that, lawyers and politicians living in large houses, driving nice cars, vacationing in the Hamptons, and regularly going to the finest restaurants are receiving $Millions effectively stolen from typical laborers, living in trailers, driving junker cars and having to use credit cards to afford food for their children. And now apparently those lawyers are “in danger”.
Yes, exactly. That’s why the D-Bags are opposing it so hysterically in front of the Minitrue Media cameras. Screech on, woketards. Nobody watches CNN, MSDNC and all the other troll networks combined except 6 to 8 die-hard fanatics in a 24 hour period. You aren’t convincing ANYBODY that your piggy bank of graft should continue to exist, much less saving po’ innocent lives around the world.
The D-Bags are one of the biggest beneficiaries of USAID largesse of all. They want to stay on that dole and are screaming bloody murder because Musk and DOGE are cutting of as many sources of illicit D-Bag revenue as possible.
I’m not the only one who’s loving it, that’s for sure. D-Bag tears are as beautiful as forest waterfalls to me. Keep crying, bitches.
Anything that contributes to loosen the tentacular death grip Soros has maintained for too long on the West is welcome – anything. Of course, that horrible man couldn’t care less about the death of anybody – except his own.
Soros is a WW II War Crinimal who should be returned to face Trial this scoundrel wants to Own the World just like Gates and Schwab
Yes but the days of European Nuremberg trials are long over. Russia wants the Kapo so we should send him there. Russia isn’t a part of the EU and he doesn’t coddle criminals. Kapo Soros wouldn’t last a month in a Russian prison.
Georgie Porgie can dig into his own reserves if he’s so inclined. All those in Congress who took his dime are no longer in a position to further his crimes.
Freeze all Soros bank accounts and transactions as if he were a terrorist enemy, because he is.
It’s supposed to be “deadly” to you, wretched and wicked toad George Soros!
Sorossets sues to continue deadly activities.
Only the willfully ignorant and self-deluded still believe any of this funding is for anything ‘good’
It’s all for crime and wickedness.
And weird tranny and Alphabet People stuff, which now that I think about it, seems pretty wicked.
No standing.
Still no standing.
All the woketards in USAID probably squat when they pee, including the males.
