EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Matt Gaetz Introduces Legislation To Abolish USAID
The Daily Caller ^ | August 01, 2023 | Henry Rodgers

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced legislation Tuesday that would abolish the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for reportedly pushing issues such as abortion, gender equity programs and climate alarmism abroad.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which is related to a May 10, 2022 Heritage Foundation report that found USAID was using U.S. taxpayer dollars to push far-left ideology.

I hope something comes of it, however unlikely that may be.

No bureaucracy born of progressivism has ever been abolished and we need that precedent to be set somewhere, some time.

Russia, partly because of this BS, owns the developing world. Read the final communique from the Russia Africa Summit. Western imperialism, both economic and woke cultural, are squarely addressed. At the BRIChinaS summit later this month in South Africa up to eight African countries will be admitted. You don’t have to renounce coal and gasoline, eat bugs and go trans/homo to join either.

USAID is, supposedly where we give money to a county for something and they have to buy what ever it is from a US company.

Sounds rather benign except that the US government will take every single excuse they can to avoid paying the US company for their product.

The paperwork is down right byzantine and is full of nonsense that is meant to confuse you because if they can find one thing that you did not do to their specification they can refuse to pay.

It is actually worse then selling to the US government directly.

USAID is a CIA front. This is going to go nowhere. No way you can find the votes when the CIA can just pull up its little blackmail files on all of the congress critters and remind them of why they need to vote the way that the CIA wants them to.

It’s another vote to expose RINO pedophiles. There’s no way this passes the House.

A former USAID director, John Gilligan, admitted it was "infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people." Gilligan explained that "the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas; government, volunteer, religious, every kind."[1]

Is the USAID a cover for the CIA?

Inquiring minds have wanted to know for a very long time!

In Vietnam, it was usually the USIA that spooks claimed as their employer.

I worked for them. Well, not exactly them, but a UN project in Afghanistan that was mostly USAID funded. Maybe friends and family that said I was a spy were right.

Remember when Newt was going to shutdown all those cabinet departments back in the 90s? 😆

Dear Holy Father please shut this evil-promoting organization down, in the Name of Jesus. What USAID is doing is wrong, and they’re forcing us to pray for it.
