USAID summary from Lib magazine

We should all remember that US Aid (what this OP is about) is not the same thing as USAID.

In typical government fashion they named a program something cute and cuddly so the average person would think it is good.

USAID is United States Agency of International Development whose goal is to funnel money to NGOs, rebels, etc to carry out the mission of the State Department and CIA.

As an official component of U.S. foreign policy, USAID operates subject to the guidance of the president, secretary of state, and the National Security Council.[6] USAID has missions in over 100 countries, primarily in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

To support U.S. geopolitical interests, Congress appropriates exceptional financial assistance to allies, largely in the form of "Economic Support Funds" (ESF). USAID is called on to administer the bulk (90%) of ESF[16] and is instructed: "To the maximum extent feasible, [to] provide [ESF] assistance ... consistent with the policy directions, purposes, and programs of [development assistance]."[17]

It is also a useful kickback tool.

---

U.S. commercial interests are served by U.S. law's requirement that most goods and services financed by USAID must be sourced from U.S. vendors

The corporate media and groomer politicians will desperately try to spin USAID as muh saving the chirrens but don't fall for it.

Also don't conflate it with US Aid. That is an entirely separate scam.

quote:

---

We gave the people of the Carolinas $700.

The jagoff that came up with that amount needs his face rearranged. That was just plain insulting.
