Recently, The Trump administration and DOGE exposed the U.S. Agency for International Development as a hotbed of wasteful spending and far-left dogma. What exactly was going on behind the scenes, and how did the agency become the progressive “slush fund” we know it as today?

From Daily Caller. Before President Donald Trump shuttered the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Biden-Harris administration used it to advance a radical leftist agenda across the globe, former USAID officials told the Daily Caller.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

Trump and Elon Muskā€™s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)Ā ordered all USAID employees to work from home in early February amid a funding freeze for the agency. Musk said that Trump supported a full shutdown of the agency. …

While Muskā€™s DOGE found a number of seemingly inexplicable expenditures from the agency ā€” includingĀ millions for subscriptionsĀ to leftwing media outlets and $50 million for condoms in Djibouti ā€” DemocratsĀ pushed back hardĀ on the proposal to shutter the agency.

The reason for their fervor is becoming clear, as former USAID officials explained in detail how Democratic administrations have increasingly used the agency to promote a radical leftist agenda worldwide.

ā€œThey were literally trying to export this agenda, to create the rest of the world in their radical image,ā€ Max Primorac, who served as USAIDā€™s acting chief operating officer, senior agency vetting official and regulatory reform officer in the first Trump administration, told the Daily Caller.

Primorac, who also served in the Departments of State and Defense in George W. Bushā€™s administration, said that the Biden administrationā€™s focus on spreading ideas like diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and transgender ideology weakened Americaā€™s influence abroad. …

He noted that in generally liberal European countries, like France, leaders rejected the American leftā€™s woke ideology. French President Emmanuel MacronĀ warned his country against participating in the ā€œwoke nonsenseā€ of policing language in a 2021 speech. …

While the agencyā€™s unelected career bureaucrats exported their ideology using taxpayer dollars to every corner of the globe, Dr. Mark Moyar explained, they hid their actions from the political appointees whom Trump selected to carry out the will of the electorate.

Moyar, who Trump appointed to the USAID in 2018, ran the outfitā€™s office of civilian and military cooperation. He described the moment that he discovered, over a year into his tenure, that unelected bureaucrats were hiding where the agencyā€™s money was going.

ā€œThe LGBTQ kind of stuff, climate change, they would conceal that by saying, ā€˜Well, this is really economic growth or health or something else,’ā€ Moyar told the Caller.

USAID had been funding programs likeĀ secret schools for women in Afghanistan, $20 million for the creation of a Sesame Street facsimile in Iraq, and a $2 million grant for gender affirming care in Guatemala, according to the New York Times and NPR. …

Primorac described the agency as ā€œa slush fund for the progressives.ā€ …

Besides exporting woke ideology abroad, the agency also insisted upon indoctrinating its own employees, Moyar told the Caller. He described being forced to undergo a ritual he referred to as a ā€œDEI privilege walk.ā€

ā€œBasically you stand in a row, and youā€™re given an identity. Well, in our case, we picked them out of a hat. So I was a woman of Scandinavian descent. And then there was the male French development official, and he was the most privileged because heā€™s a guy, and then you had all these other categories ā€¦Ā thereā€™s the indigenous woman with unwanted child and a male prostitute,ā€ Moyar recalled.

ā€œThey read things like, ā€˜I get treated better when I ask for government services,ā€™ or ā€˜people make negative stereotypes.ā€™ And if the thing applies you step forward or back. At the end the white guys are farthest forward. I, as the white female, was second, and then other people are behind. Itā€™s to show your privilege,ā€ he recalled to the Caller. …

Upon learning how deep and far-reaching the agencyā€™s corruption was, Moyar attempted to blow the whistle. Instead, he says, he was fired. …

He recalled how someone in his office ā€” while working as a government employee ā€” was also serving as the chairman of the board of a company that was receiving government business.

ā€œHe was using his job to help them, which is pretty clear criminal conflict of interest,ā€ Moyar told the Caller. …

Deliberately choose to ignore most of what USAID was doing. If fraud was taking place, if money going to wrong places, Congress should oversee it. You are telling me if Biden 4 years ago had his friend from another country look at spending and make changes to things he simply didn’t like, people on the right would have thought that was perfectly fine, not an abuse of power. But we’re concerned about fraud, right? Trump was literally found guilty of 34 cases of fraud and no one on this site cared. No no no, it was a bad judge, bad jury, someone un-biased should have been in charge. Trump could have made his case in a court that he was innocent and had no answer, yet you blame the judge. Here you see fraud but what about how biased Musk is, just as much as you would claim the judge is in Trump’s trial. The hypocrisy here is UNREAL. By the way, the US just voted in the UN to not condemn Russia for invading Ukraine. Our new allies in the world are Russia and North Korea. Keep thinking you are on the moral high ground by supporting Trump and this administration. Good luck explaining your moral views to Jesus when you meet him face to face. This is Christianity. My Lord.

Father, I pray that we would see the corruption solved. May people notice and not be frightened by the changes that are occurring. May they see the need for what is happening and be glad. I pray for those who have lost employment that you would take care of them. Thank you for dealing with the corruption and how the money has been spent. Give President Trump much wisdom as he makes his decisions. May the work you are doing through him bear much fruit for life.

ā€œWhen the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.ā€ ā€“ Proverbs 29:16 Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your word is tried and true. As each department is audited, identify that which is chaff from the wheat. You have provided this nation with such blessings, we truly seek for a shift from corruption toward integrity. Let false testimony fail, unravel all alliances of deceit, instead establish a bulwark of righteousness and justice that pleases You. Thank You for the service of every individual who walked upright and would not shift from Your will, even through these trials of betrayal. Bring new life, hope, restoration, goodness, wisdom, discernment and Your ordained values into every office, agency and representative that accepts and holds an office for our government. We praise You for always being at work, never abandoning us, establish the work of our hands we pray. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

USAID is a CIA front that promotes globalism, not democracy or anything remotely American. I saw them operate through large NGOs in the Balkans and is one way that the international criminal Soros got his claws into Albania. They pick out a few likeminded anti traditional groups then swoop in with their money and support the destruction of national cultures, leaving mayhem and destruction in their wake. Itā€™s all for the purpose of encouraging local globalists against traditionalists and then slithering in unseen with their diabolical agenda. It is one of the most evil organizations on earthā€¦believe me, what I have seen would fill a small book. What Musk uncovers will be astounding to many,

The spirit behind the USAID is illiberal. Filled with moral relativists that, regardless, cut Ghana, Uganda and Pakistan out of international monetary funds because they will not accept the LGBTQ agenda.

Lord, we pray that You’d bring all government corruption into the light. We pray that You’d put to death racist ideas and bring our country back to Bible- based ideas. Amen.
