    1. According to a random Twitter user quoting a no-name source. I’ve yet to see proof that “99% of USAID employees are Democrats.”

      I’ll also take everything Musk says with a big ol grain of salt considering how often he blatantly lies about shit.

      USAID could use a lot more oversight but what’s happening right now is absolutely absurd and everyone has to just take the words of garbage people who seem to be shitting on the rule of law.

    2. Not just USAID. All that stuff is. Red Cross built 5 houses in Haiti for $500m.

      Unicef, Red Cross, Conservation International. They are all the same. Billions of dollars given to them and they go to Africa and hand out stickers for an afternoon.

      In Cambodia, their offices are all in mansions. They keep getting in trouble for messing with the kids.

    3. i would think this is generally true for many gov programs. the gatekeepers are those who know how the paperwork protocol works. so, like the legal system (and pretty much all ppl-control systems), understanding remains out of the hands of everyone unless you’ve been given the secrets by the secrets holders.

      all govs kick back this way. they just prefer it be non-obvious for the optics. and since they care about optics, that should tell you something about how important the mediums of communication are. it’s the fricken steering wheel.

    4. Limited hangout

      >According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is “spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further.” While used by the CIA and other intelligence organizations, the tactic has become popularized in the corporate and political spheres.

      Check out the origins of CIA doc series on YT by Eyes Wide Open. USAir was the OG gun/drug running contractor. This stinks exactly like the plot of USAid

      I cant get enough of this shit. The only people fighting it are the ones who hide behind it. Huh isnt that ironic?

    7. It really all is. Instead of watching the ones they take down, it will also be interesting to see which ones they leave in place.
