USAid was only used for regime changes abd to buy and pay for puppets. Nothing good about it as you Emanuel claims. Trump and Musk only seemingly do away with unConstitutional agencies, but rename the agency and make it more covert to hide in the darkness of never holding accountable the real criminals. And making more funds available for a surveillance digital military/police State Tyranny.

Not a single good thing was ever done? It is not what I have read, but it could be true. The rest of my narrative still holds, however, the money laundering and bribes through weapons sales and other corrupt military activities dwarfs anything at USAID, or State overall. If people can take advantage of the chaos stirred up by Trump to take down those forces, I would be delighted.

Yes. If Americans wake up and defend and protect the Constitution, instead of playing partisan politics, Constitution shall be acknowledged as the Supreme Law of the Land. And standing up for what's right shall make Tyranny DIE and Freedom Live as God intended for USA. And if they force themselves to study the Constitution, deception masters like Trump and all the puppet presidents before them will never have a foothold in the Nation to destroy the Constitutional Rights of Free Men

Whatever “good” is done by the USAID could be done by others.

I agree with you, this seems like an attempt to reorganize a part of the intelligence apparatus under more private hands, a private/public “partnership” under the fascist troll Rubio to start.

Meanwhile Trump is fantasizing about Trump Tower, Gaza, built on the bones of the previous extirpated population. Manifest Destiny!

USA is Regime Change Incorporated. So logic says, get the head choppers and Mossad and cartels here and take out a cool 100 million brave consumer.Yankee Doodle Dandies.

And Jewish Israel's and all Jews and Goyim supporting that genocidal culture. Now that's a billion maybe?

Biden gives 2000 pound bombs to the Nazis while Rapist in Chief Trump's regime goes 5 times higher with the MOAB 11, 000 pounders.

Everything Trump does is as evil as what Zyklon Blinken and the Minyans in his Wailing Wall White House has done .

Now? Bye bye education.

I am open to the possiblity that there is not a single thing that USAID did of any benefit to ordinary people--but that is not what I saw so far. It seems to have some real functions. But I could be wrong on this point and I do not know enough. Please do share some helpful information. Much of what I have read lacks any real in depth discussion of what USAID does.

This, the most brazen of them, rightly leads the way. But make no mistake. All of the sacred cows shall be slain.

I am with you with a sharpened knife, but I have my doubts that USAID is most brazen

I'm under no illusion that techno/fascists are routing out the deep state. In fact, those same nefarious intelligence operations will most likely be rebranded and directed to another department. It's all a shell game. 😆

However, I do love seeing disingenuous liberals scream and feel powerless in their internecine battle with "other factions " of the fiendish deep state. 😁

These fucking fools and their fetish with killing affirmative action and killing meds and clean water and food for the poor.

While they blow job these two pricks?

Sad sack fools.

Food and meds and IVs and tents and water systems. These cocksucker AmeriKKKans love the strongmen. Throw the baby out with the sewage water. Just BEING an AmeriKKKan tax paying citizen/consumer means we pay for/ support everything bad about empire, either under Rapist in Chief Trump's eye or Rapist in Chief Biden.

Education? The scooping out of the youth's brains.

Perhaps you are right. For the time being, I am glad that some of the gross criminality in government over the past generation and the weaponization of humanitarian organizations for imperial and ideological purposes is coming to light. But that worse forms of tyranny may well be taking shape seems, unfortunately, very likely. I will wait and see what specific forms that tyranny may take before making a final judgment about what is currently happening.

Dear Emmanuel: You are right USAID was a welfare institution, it did some progressive work, it was not evil. Donald Trump should be impeached as soon as possible. Somebody must stop this monster before he destroys the world !!

I knew that Elon Musk and Trump are professional white-collar thieves. Read this article about how Elon Musk stole 80 million dollars from a bank account

Source: https://www.aporrea.org/actualidad/n401223.html

US: New York City Comptroller Accuses Elon Musk of Stealing $80 Million from City Bank Account

He said the federal aid paid was removed from the city's bank account.

February 14, 2025, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander accused Elon Musk of "highway robbery" after $80 million approved by Congress "disappeared" from the city's bank account, El independiente.co.uk reported (ndependent.co.uk)

The Trump administration "recovered" the $80 million that the Federal Emergency Management Agency paid to New York City last week to help house migrants, federal officials confirmed.

"Today... my office @NYCComptroller discovered that $80 MILLION in federal aid already authorized, allocated and paid was ERASED from the city's bank account," Lander said Wednesday in a post in X.

"Let's be very clear: this is a robbery on the road. Elon Musk, without legal authority, illegally confiscated federal funds from New Yorkers," Lander added. He said the money was supposed to reimburse the city for costs it had already incurred and billed the federal government.

The rescinded funds raise legality issues that face freezes and recoveries of funds by Elon Musk and the Trump administration, often in the wake of legally executed appropriations and congressional documents that set up payments and even funds for work already done and costs incurred.

Lander, who is running for mayor of New York City, also criticized incumbent Mayor Eric Adams for not "fighting back." The U.S. Justice Department moved to drop a corruption charge against Adams on Monday shortly after he was spotted socializing with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Well said. Also, and only adding to the fraudulence of the "shutting it down" operation, USAID is not being shut down at all. It's just being rehoused in a less accountable place: the State Department under neocon warmonger Rubio. See this substack article: https://fiorellaisabel.substack.com/p/trump-repurposes-usaid-to-technocrats

And, as for whatever good USAID has done, it was to earn credibility to spend on worse purposes. Now the oligarch regime has decided that even the credibility isn't needed.

Class war is inevitable until humanity can evolve to a class less social political arrangement.
