Dear friend, I want to talk to you about something, about an organization called USAID, or USAID, however you want to call it.
It was one of those stories that happened the other day, but nobody really explained it to you, kind of who they were.
Nobody explained.
They just kind of portrayed it as, oh look, Trump's a cutting...
Pork or doing something to destroy this pork barrel big government lunacy.
But as of now, I think, somebody notice if you want to, if you try to access or log on to the international development website USAID or I think the social media pages, there was this message that said something like, the site can't be reached.
I think Dr. Paul talked about this in others.
I haven't really gone to look, but if you can.
And many people are saying, that's great!
Because the recent Trump administration freeze on USAID activities, which is...
Rumored by some to be either a precursor to either its overhaul or its complete and total dissolution.
Who knows?
But this might mark one of the most consequential and important and critical moves of President Trump's tenure so far.
Elon Musk, who was a voice many conservatives admire for his blunt clarity, his pellucidity in the light, even suggested that the agency may be facing complete closure.
Let's hope.
Because if that's the case, Americans should breathe a sigh of relief for dismantling this bloated, interventionist, horrid juggernaut.
It would be a monumental step towards restoring American sovereignty and refocusing on government that serves its own citizens rather than meddling and sticking its nose in where it doesn't really belong.
Abroad.
For too long, many Americans have operated under the illusion and the lie that USAID is simply a charitable arm of the government, delivering aid to disaster zones, feeding starving populations, and providing clean water to impoverished regions.
It's kind of like the UN, you know, the whole UN thing.
Oh, the UN's so beautiful.
Oh my God, the little...
beautiful.
The little...
UNICEF or whatever the hell it is.
Images of rice sacks bearing the USAID logo, or USAID we'll call it, dropped off in remote villages still linger in our collective imagination.
But these images, my friends, this PR nonsense, are merely relics of a long forgotten, long gone past.
Today, U.S. aid is not about humanitarian relief.
It's a well-oiled regime change machine funding and orchestrating political upheavals around the globe under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights.
It functions as a weapon of U.S. foreign policy, undermining.
Undermining and destroying elected governments and empowering NGOs that act as puppets for American interventionist interests.
From Ukraine to Georgia and far beyond, my friend, USAID's fingerprints are all over this horror of destabilization, creating chaos where there was once order and leaving sovereign nations to pick up the pieces.
I know you're going to be asking, well, why would they want to do that?
We'll get to that later.
If you haven't figured this out by now, I don't know what to tell you.
President Trump, God bless him, in his 90-day freeze on USAID activities was a masterstroke of strategic foresight, pulling back the curtain on how embedded the agency is in the affairs of foreign nations.
Almost immediately, reports emerged from Ukraine that detailed how the country's This is amazing.
90% of Ukrainian media outlets rely on funding from the U.S. government.
I'll let that sink in.
90%.
An entire nation's informational ecosystem, critical to public perception and government accountability, is effectively controlled by foreign dollars.
Our foreign dollars?
This isn't independent journalism.
It's government propaganda on an international scale with USF-backed outlets feeding and stoking and perpetuating and perseverating carefully curated and orchestrated and scripted narratives to Ukrainian citizens while Conveniently aligning with Washington's, you know, blob, the foreign policy objectives.
I don't think you can be any more clear.
The implications of this are incredible, staggering.
When we hear news about the Ukrainian battlefield, casualty reports, or the state of its military, how much of it is fact?
And how much of this is crafted, BS by media operatives, funded directly by the U.S. government, we don't know.
We don't know.
And we're supposed to be out of the propaganda business.
Remember that?
The reporting from these outlets is often recycled by major U.S. And Western news organizations creating a closed-loop propaganda cycle.
You know what I've always told you?
They're repeaters and not reporters.
And American citizens are unknowingly and unwittingly subjected to government-manufactured narratives and lies, while U.S. lawmakers, many of whom rely on mainstream media reports and also the money from, well, you know what that's about.
We'll get to that later.
But they're fed the same curated and manufactured Falsehoods and lies to justify ongoing military aid.
And no wonder Washington's appetite for this disastrous war remains, I guess, insatiable, not to mention the money for the military-industrial complex.
You know, when the information pipeline is corrupted from the start, dissenting voices and voices of opposition are silenced, and only the approved narrative prevails.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
It's exactly what happened here and happens here in this country, until Trump.
But disinformation is just one facet of USAID, their treacherous agenda.
There's also the small matter of potentially funding one of the most devastating pandemics in modern history.
Elon Musk recently reposted a report indicating that USAID funneled 53 Million dollars to EcoHealth Alliance.
This is the shadowy organization tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and gain-of-function research.
Remember that?
On coronaviruses.
Did USAID's funds directly contribute to the development of the RONA?
I don't know if I can say the number 19. Hey, 19!
It's a horrifying possibility, and Americans have every right to demand answers.
How many more taxpayer dollars do you think have been funneled into dangerous and reckless research in foreign labs with zero oversight?
USAID is not just a tool of interventionist propaganda.
It may well be an accomplice, aiding and abetting in global biological catastrophes.
And listen to this, my friend.
And yet, for all its funding of dubious and weird and scary projects overseas, USAID is utterly tone deaf to the needs of the very taxpayers, you and me, footing the bill.
Americans are generous people, generous to a fault.
As evidenced by the countless private volunteer organizations that spring into action during times of natural disasters and crises, we're good people.
Churches and charities and private foundations do a far better job delivering aid effectively and directly to those in need without the bureaucratic red tape and the ulterior motives.
That plague and contaminate these governmental entities like USAID, USAID.
Private groups aren't trying to overthrow governments or prop up compliant regimes.
No!
They simply do the work, which you think they should be doing, of trying to save lives.
Often with far fewer resources and far greater results.
So what exactly is USAID doing with its billions of dollars?
What's Zelensky doing with his?
We'll get to that later.
What are they doing other than sowing chaos and potentially funding deadly scientific experiments?
That's the question every taxpayer should be asking.
The agency needs a full and transparent audit, laying bare, laying open.
Every project, every expenditure, and every so-called partnership with foreign NGOs.
The American people deserve to know how their money is being used, or misused, in the name of development.
If USAID has funneled money into dangerous research or destabilizing campaigns, heads must roll.
Accountability is not optional.
It's imperative.
It's the law.
So for President Trump, dismantling USAID would be, by God, a legacy-defining achievement.
And it's one that aligns perfectly with the vision of restoring American greatness.
Now let's be clear about this.
America doesn't need to meddle in the affairs of sovereign foreign nations to remain a global superpower.
On the contrary, these...
Interventionist escapades and adventures and all this kind of jazz.
This weakens our moral standing.
It stretches our resources, brother.
And it entangles us and configures us in conflicts that do nothing to enhance our national security.
By shuttering and closing down USAID, not confuse it, President Trump would be sending a powerful message to the world.
America will no longer play the role of global puppet master.
Instead, we'll focus on rebuilding our own nation, securing our own borders, revitalizing and reconditioning our economy, and putting America and American citizens first.
Isn't that a great concept?
Moreover, listen carefully, abolishing USAID would serve
Figures like Ron Paul and I think Rand, I'm pretty sure, have long warned about the dangers of interventionism.
And their warnings have proven prophetic, prescient, vatic, pythonic.
USAID's closure would be a victory for those who believe in diplomacy over coercion, who believe in self-determination over meddling, officious intermeddling, and peace over this perpetual conflict and war.
Critics, of course, will no doubt wail that Shutting down USAID will leave a void in global development.
But this is a strawman argument.
It's BS.
It's nonsense.
The truth is that the private sector and the philanthropic organizations are more than capable of filling any void that exists.
What they won't do, however, is funnel money into corrupt foreign regimes or prop-up media outlets designed to serve as mouthpieces for U.S. propaganda.
In the end, my friend.
USAID has become a symbol of everything, everything wrong with the Washington establishment.
Bloated, bilious, unaccountable, and fundamentally disconnected from the needs and the desires and the focus of ordinary Americans and voters.
Its closure would be more than symbolic.
It would be a practical and a necessary step towards dismantling this interventionist state that we've become and reasserting and reestablishing our nation's sovereignty.
For too long, dear patriot, our foreign policy has been dictated by bureaucrats and deep staters and shadow government operatives and sock puppets and ideologues.
Who believe they have the right to remake the world in America's image.
It's time to put an end to that.
Stop it.
Let the USAID, let its downfall and collapse serve as a warning to every other bloated government agency.
Listen carefully.
The American people are watching and we will no longer tolerate waste and corruption or interventions carried out in our name.
Without our consent, President Trump and great Americans like Dr. Paul understand this moment in history.
They know that the path forward is not more global meddling, but a return to the principles of self-governance.
Limited government.
Remember that?
And individual liberty.
The sooner that this USAID mob I mean, it's so...
It's like OC.
It's like the mob.
It's like the boys downtown.
The sooner it's audited and dismantled and tossed into the ash heap in the wasteland or the landfill of history, whatever you want to call it, the sooner we can focus on the business of making America great again.
Without the baggage, without the crap, without the garbage, it failed...
Foreign adventures weighing us down.
Let the world take notice, ladies and gentlemen.
Donald Trump is here.
America is back.
And this time, guess what?
We're staying home.
What do you think, dear friend?
I would love to hear so much of your comments.
And I would ask you very, very humbly for you to comment on our words here.
You know that 87% of the people who Who watch my videos, don't subscribe.
87%.
Let's put an end to that right now, my friends.
And comment as you see fit.
