The true nature of USAID has been openly discussed for years now. A lot of credit goes to Mike Benz for increasing the exposure by getting on the podcast circuit.

Yea Elon said so. He said they checked to see what agencies were going against Trump's EO and USAID popped up the most consistently so they dove in and uncovered everything.

that’s an interesting theory, one that I hope winds up being true
It's complete speculation on my side, but there were some who questioned Trump for naming Rubio as SoS because many felt like he couldn't be trusted.. but maybe something like this gave Trump a reason to trust him..
Maybe it is something else..
At the end of the day, I have said before that I believe all politicians are corrupt in one way or another.. and I believe it's just part of the way the business has always been done, and therefore, they all probably have a little bit of blood on their hands..

What do the numbers in this table represent?
Google "EIN xxxxxxxxx" where the x is the number in the bubble and it should tell you the name of the NGO. The numbers along the arrows are how much money was transferred to that NGO.

They are all EIN numbers.
Employer identification numbers (tax IDs). They are following the money.

-The terrorists will get us, prison guards are walking off jobs-because of DOGE getting shut down
-The Meals on wheels program will stop-because of DOGE shutting down
Guess what they will say next? Trans are protesting in NYC because there is now an E,O. on no trans surgeries on children. NOBODY said they couldn't play drag queen. HEY TEACHER, LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!

That one chart shows how all of those "Non-profits" basically funnel/wash money back to one individual EIN which in this case is run by a "non-profit" run by Bill Kristol.
Imo, it doesn't mean they all funnel back to one individual EIN.. Some of the $$ could have gone to other EIN's as well, in theory.. but this chart just shows the path to Bill Kristol.
For example, start with $100
$50 to A and $50 to B
A sends $25 to C and $25 to D
B sends $10 to E and $40 to F
C sends $10 to D and $15 to F
D sends $15 to E and $10 to F
So as of right now..
A $0
B $0
C $0
D $10
E $25
F $65
F sends $10 to X
F sends $25 to Y
F sends $30 to Z
Perhaps Bill Kristol is Y, but X and Z also received funds, maybe even legitimate funds.

Tech nerd side coming in, 48 vCPU is not that big of a deal and they could easily use more. 48 was a big number 20 years ago,
12 hours is also an extremely long time, unless there is an ingestion event needing to occur with the data. If they are ground up building the warehouse of the data files, maybe 12 hours is needed.
Knowing this is a government entity, data is probably in some mainframe

USAID problems have been known about for years.
This is just from 2021:
Late last week, the Department of Justice announced that the International Rescue Committee had agreed to pay $6.9 million to settle allegations that it had participated in a scheme to rig contract bids and then passed on inflated costs to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). IRC, a New York-based humanitarian relief organization, received funding from USAID to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by the conflict in Syria. Between 2012 and 2015, IRC staff allegedly received kickbacks and steered procurements to a Turkish supply ring engaged in a bid-rigging scheme, then billed USAID for these unreasonably expensive procurements in violation of the False Claims Act, a federal law that prohibits recipients of federal funds from submitting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the United States government.
Media, government overseers, and other watchdogs have previously shined a light on rampant fraud in humanitarian programs related to the Syrian civil war. The IRC matter is the latest in a long and lamentable line of cases exposing fraud and corruption in humanitarian relief programs the United States government funds, in Syria and around the world.
Ron Paul, 2008: Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country and giving it to the rich people of a poor country.
Some of you act as though none of this existed until Elon started talking about it. I wonder how many coders Ron Paul had working for him when he figured all of this out.

This is the exact sort of "blind audit" type situation that the federal government has needed for several decades. Their sort of ignorance/naivete of of so much of this stuff is what makes it perfect actually.

Either way, she is a treasure.
no she doesnt officially. just volunteering with public data and she has been instrumental even from when she started before we took over. she is fricking awesome at deciphering the eins which the way she sets it up and sorts the data makes a block chain
then she is using grok to find things and sort further
then she has of volunteers where we are going to each NGO site and pulling the data on the board members and those associated. Thats how the found kristol....he was newly appointed to the board. she didnt know but the dumbass had his name listed on the ngo site...she got word and pieced it all together

thinking about all this in relation to the false claims act, which allows private citizens to file suit against government contractors who are defrauding the government.
but what happens when it's the government itself that is engaged in the fraud, not a contractor?
not an attorney, so I have no idea if I'm even understanding the false claims act correctly...

quote:
False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 - 3733, a federal statute originally enacted in 1863 in response to defense contractor fraud during the American Civil War.
The FCA provides that any person who knowingly submits, or causes to submit, false claims to the government is liable for three times the government’s damages plus a penalty that is linked to inflation. FCA liability can arise in other situations, such as when someone knowingly uses a false record material to a false claim or improperly avoids an obligation to pay the government. Conspiring to commit any of these acts also is a violation of the FCA.
In addition to allowing the United States to pursue perpetrators of fraud on its own, the FCA allows private citizens to file suits on behalf of the government (called “qui tam” suits) against those who have defrauded the government. Private citizens who successfully bring qui tam actions may receive a portion of the government’s recovery. Many Fraud Section investigations and lawsuits arise from such qui tam actions.
The Department of Justice obtained more than $2.9 billion in settlements and judgments from civil cases involving fraud and false claims against the government in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2024. More information about those recoveries can be found here and the 2024 FCA statistics can be found here.”

I don't think Vivek had much to contribute other than his ability to speak, relative to Elon. Elon owns and operates, on a micro-scale, the greatest conglomeration of technical minds ever assembled.

EIN numbers and the amount of money that flowed through them would be my guess
