I’ve seen wild things as a ship captain & maritime reporter—USAID & CIA stories that’d turn your hair white. I don’t have a death wish, so I stay quiet…
Unless it’s about USAID & Democrat graft. So, F it.
It all started with a call from a man—let’s call him Derick
The money flushed at all levels of government is scary. And nobody seems to care.
We need a famine!
We need a famine for guys named Derrick. That’s called a TAX CUT.
You can’t follow every rat trail and dig out every single rat. What you can do is stop collecting cheese in a big pile for them to steal.
Taxes? They don’t need no stinkin’ taxes. They’ll just print more money!
I’m asking myself…
How much of the details is fiction, and how much of it actually happened?
Wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the ratio is something like 80/20 in favor of the truth.
Wouldn’t surprise me if 100% of it was nonsense. It sure read like it. Cheap pulp fiction.
Is there massive waste ? Yes. Is Elon doing Gods work exposing it and cutting it out ? Yes.
This just read like poor fan fic.
I just read an utterly preposterous story … geez Kate!?
Then, I paused and realized this is exactly how Leftists … Harvard educated Leftists … think. Like how Hillary Clinton believed if we gave weapons to Isis to fight Assad … and if she killed Ghadaffi … and if she showed radical Islam how much she trusted them and was on “their side” … she could refuse to deploy a security/military detail to our Benghazi Embassy as a sign of our “trust”.
Yeah … this is EACTLY how our so-called brightest and best-educated Leftists think. And now that DOGE has followed the taxpayer money that funds their idiocy … well, call me a believer in the Derik story. And no, the spelling of Derik is not lost on me either
“I’m asking myself…
How much of the details is fiction, and how much of it actually happened?”
I’m asking myself (if any of this is true) if the “security services” were actually there to keep the kids from killing each other.
Someone in the replies added that he knows the individual.
This was an interesting comment over at Althouse
I worked several South American ag development projects under USAID back in the early ’90s, primarily in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. In each case a large part of the project was the manufacture of “ordinary super-phosphate” fertiliser, which is produced by treating raw phosphate rock with sulphuric acid.
The projects brought in multiple railcars of each ingredient, having been a former fertiliser formulator, I quickly noticed that the amounts of sulphuric acid were 4x what was needed to make the fertiliser. Hmmm … Then the American project managers had the raw phosphate rock spread on the land, even though it was alkaline soil, which does not break down raw phosphate rock. When I pointed it out to the head honcho he said “Hey kid, stay in your own lane and STFU. Got it?”
What crop do Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia have in common, besides coffee and potatoes ? Hint — it’s a crop needing a lot of sulphuric acid for post-harvest processing and concentration prior to shipping northward.
After the fifth such incident I stopped working with USAID projects.There was obviously an internal network involved and I was beginning to know too much.
In case you didn’t guess, sulfuric acid is used to make cocaine.
Amazing what you can do with battery acid.
Who knew Hunter had a private supply line … straight from Colombia to the White House
Is Juan Valdez’s donkey still kickin’? 😉

Anybody remember that idiotic “Opportunities for Youth” program during the Pierre Trudeau years? I knew a guy who was in charge of that in Calgary…..it was nothing but a big party. He had an nice office with a bar….did nothing.
As opposed to the WE day grift?
Probably quite similar.
I remember something called a LIP grant. Turd Sr. funding hippies.
“WE”, “Opportunities for Youth”
“Up With People” program will be found out and dumped very soon, I’m sure
There are thousands of these scams.
https://katimavik.org/en/
Wasn’t Trudeau a board member or something? I heard that is where he learned to use an expense account.
Hey, I had fun playing in the Up With People band! And our summer Opportunities For Youth project was fun too. $90 a week plus a meal and lodging allowance was pretty good money for a penniless university student. We learned how to write a grant proposal…
Global Affairs Canada funded the BBC to the tune of $1.7 million dollars.
Now it turns out they also funded Politico, a US based digital newspaper, to another $1 million dollars.
It was Politico that maneuvered to have the Hunter laptop story banned and everyone discussing it censored.
Politico peddled the illegal Supreme Court leak that led to the near-assassination of multiple Supreme Court justices.
Your tax dollars at work.

“Global Affairs Canada funded the BBC to the tune of $1.7 million dollars.

This demands an investigation. I’m sure Pierre Poilievre will get right on it.
Musk has Canadian citizenship and some experience.
Someone smart, ambitious and connected should start a third political party right about now. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are going to take massive damage over the next 4 years, and people are going to be looking for an alternative.
PDJT is the closest we’ve EVER had to a third Party. And now that Mitch McConnell keeps stumbling down the stairs … the (R) Party is Trump’s Party. MAGA Baby!!! The GOPes are dead and dying. And I have ZERO doubt that JD Vance will carry the MAGA torch.
And the smartest thing Trump and Musk could do is to establish a $ multi-billion endowment to fund MAGA candidates moving forward … such that NO MAGA candidate ever needs to be beholden to corrupt, thieving donors.
And right now … the word on the street … from nearly every walk of life is CHEERING everything Trump and his Cabinet are doing. Americans LOVE people who kick ass and take names. Yeahhhh … we’re just not so “nice” in that way
Republican party is just as guilty as the Democrat party for allowing this to occur and continue. Indifference is no less egregious than initiation IMO. And, I think we’ll find that both parties were increasing their financial statements (party and personal) on the taxpayers’ backs. There is no excuse for congress to fund USAID and then do absolutely nothing when inquiries are ignored by the organization they are supposed to oversee.
The “Oh well, they won’t give us the information we need to do due diligence” is not a valid excuse. Not anymore. The first thing that should appear in future history books relative to this current administration is that the concept of “repercussions” were reinstituted.
Agreed. I can’t wait for Musk and his savant waifs to expose the $$$ flow chart running into Lindsay Graham’s bank accounts, Foundations, and whatnot via Ukraine and Military funding.
Maxime is available… 😉
“It turns out that the Canadian government, under the Trudeau Liberals has also funnelled over a million dollars to Politico, across multiple departments, including:
$161,409.98 from Environment and Climate Change Canada (yes, that’s the actual name of Canada’s National Weather Service)
$176,953.58 from Natural Resources Canada
a whopping $986,072.89 from Global Affairs Canada
In all, $1,636,084.92 across five government agencies and 44 contracts since the Liberals came to power in 2015.
The contracted services range from “subscriptions” to “printed materials” and “database access” – several of them were non-competitively, single sourced contracts for over $100,000.”

It’s said that revenge is a dish best served cold. It’s breathtaking how fast Trump has achieved his revenge, even if he does nothing else. Thanks to Elon, his team, and some remarkable “follow the money” “software, it’s been “Shock and awe”. The damage is done, our racketeers have had the rug pulled out from underneath them. They’re on the defensive now.
I don’t know but, it seems that this software could be used anywhere. What do you think? Who’s up next?
Elon and your stable of 20yo elves! Can you please come to CA and crack open the EDD!?
https://abc7news.com/california-edd-unemployment-fraud-ca-scam-insurance/10011810/
… and then on to every other welfare bureaucracy in Sacramento!? CA is being LOOTED! The USA is being LOOTED! And it is my firm belief that our EMPLOYEES … our bureaucrats are facilitating the theft. Their side hustle is designing back doors to hack the wealth of Californians. We have GOT to get control of this financial sacking of the modern day Rome.
It’s instructive to note that the GAO is/was INCAPABLE of doing what Elon Musk and his tiny 20yo elves did in less than a week …
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-107198
Our PAID Accounting Dept. admits they are UNABLE to provide basic scrutiny and security against government waste. That they CANNOT provide vital, basic, Accounting services for the American people. WTF!? And they don’t even mention the DEEP systemic CORRUPT theft of taxpayer largesse.
The GAO is nothing more than a Democrat-weaponized Deep State Dept. that exists solely to publish reports that Trump’s tax cuts will financially destroy America. Yeah … they NEVER “account” for increased productivity and tax revenue stimulated by tax cuts.
And of course … right on cue … Bill Gates just said that USAID’s budget is only “1% of the Federal Budger” … it’s no big deal … shrug.
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
The US Govt. spent $1.8 TRILLION last year … so 1% of $1.8T … is $180,000,000,000. Yeah … no big deal, Billy. Bill Gates is PURE EVIL. Release the Epstein list NOW
USAID is far worse than most realize so far.
@RealAbs1776
“294 is a pretty specific number.
Drop 294 features a picture of Huma & Podesta.
Soooooo how long until we find out USAID was funding their “parties”.
And by “party” – y’all should know what I mean. The kind of party where you spend $60k on hot dogs and talk a lot about “pizza” in coded emails…”
@IanCarrollShow
“The top recipient of USAID funding seems to be a company called Chemonics International inc. and they’re not up to anything good.
Though I have yet to find them funding trans operas, they seem to just fund Hillary Clinton’s friends stealing our tax money.
Podesta even came up”
https://x.com/IanCarrollShow/status/1887657364897022085
Chemonics!??? but, but, but … Halliburton!!! Halliburton!!!! No blood for oil!!!
So the Clintons created their own LGBTQueer Halliburton for NGO non-military operations. The truly EVIL child fkcuers have been STEALING from America … smashing and grabbing our tax largesse to enrich themselves and Cloward-Piven the US simultaneously.
This is all more white noise until I see FOX News televising armed RAIDS and perp walks of every last one of these Demoncrap Perps
Communist China’s AID Program is called “Belt and Road” … where they bridges, roads, and dams … leveraging the loyalty of the recipient nations.
USAID has been funding Queer indoctrination… and threatening cessation of AID if Queers aren’t celebrated and advanced.
Yeah … if I’m Panama … I know which horse I’d be riding.
Are we sure our elections in Canada are any less corrupt than they are in the USA?
USAID funding a Global psy-op…
Usaid was, in fact, funding both the Wuhan Lab Gain of Function research and also funding the Smartmatic election system.

Tsk, tsk, tsk … doncha know? The 2020 election fraud conspiracy has been thoroughly … debunked. I read it on Politico and The AP
Oh! And Orson … Republican Bill Barr said the 2020 election was the fairest, most transparent election in American history! And Trump is an insurrectionist. I hope Musk follows fatso’s money flow chart too …
