   WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) – The website for the U.S. Agency for   
   International Development appeared to be offline on Saturday, as the Trump   
   administration moves to put the agency under State Department control. A   
   message stating that the “server IP address could not be found” appeared   
   when attempts were made to access the website.   
      
   Two sources familiar with the discussions said on Friday that the Trump   
   administration is moving to strip the agency of its independence and put   
   it under State Department control.   
      
   Dismantling USAID is one of the best things Trump is doing.

   Only 7 – 10% of foreign aid actually goes to people in need, in many cases   
   it goes to terrorists. It is a massive slush fund for deep state ops and   
   money laundering. USAID was created by executive order. And it can be   
   eliminated the same way.

   ?? BREAKING: USAID Senior Officials put on Leave after Physically Trying   
   to stop DOGE from accessing Agency Systems   
      
   Two USAID officials, John Voorhees and his deputy, were put on leave late   
   Saturday night after refusing to allow DOGE members access to USAID   
   systems. The DOGE members threatened to physically call the police after   
   being refused entry. They were trying to access the security and personnel   
   files.   
      
   Federal Officials are concerned that Trump is trying to fold USAID into   
   the US State Department in an effort to cut Government corruption and   
   bloat.   
      
   USAID employs approx. 10,000 people, excluding contractors, with 2/3 of   
   them overseas. 60 USAID members were already put on leave last week after   
   trying to circumvent President Trump’s executive order on stopping foreign   
   aid.

   MEF research finds that the Department of State and U.S. Agency for   
   International Development have provided hundreds of millions of dollars to   
   organizations involved with designated terrorist organizations.   
      
   The Middle East Forum’s multi-year study of USAID and State Department   
   spending has uncovered $164 million of approved grants to radical   
   organizations, with at least $122 million going to groups aligned with   
   designated terrorists and their supporters. Billions more of federal   
   monies has been given to leading American aid charities which have   
   consistently failed to vet their terror-tied local partners, and show   
   little interest in improving their practices, to the apparent indifference   
   of the federal government.   
      
   Millions of federal dollars have been handed by USAID to organizations   
   directly in Gaza controlled by Hamas, with government officials even   
   visiting Gaza terror proxies’ offices and launching joint programs.   
      
   USAID beneficiaries have called for their lands to be “cleansed” from the   
   “impurity of the Jews,” among dozens of other chilling examples. USAID   
   staff attend the offices of charities which seemingly operate on behalf of   
   senior Hamas leaders, while staff of multiple multi-million dollar USAID   
   beneficiary charities openly praise and encourage violence against Jews.   
      
   State Department money has been handed to radical domestic groups such as   
   the Tides Foundation, which members of Congress have accused of funding   
   pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish violence in college campuses across America.   
      
   Easily manipulated fellow travelers, including major aid organizations   
   such as World Vision and Catholic Relief Services, as well as advocacy   
   organizations such as InterAction, serve as important vehicles for terror-   
   tied Islamists, both in the United States and abroad. These charities are   
   dependent on federal funding, receiving billions of taxpayers’ dollars.   
      
   Federal funding subsidizes efforts by domestic Islamists involved with   
   Hamas, Jamaat-e-Islami and the Turkish regime, to abrogate rules and   
   scrutiny in the United States intended to tackle the threat of terror   
   finance.   
      
   Records of federal funding, particularly through USAID, are obfuscated by   
   deficient disclosure practices, deleted data, and deliberate attempts to   
   evade transparency, with millions of dollars given to anonymous   
   beneficiaries in terrorism-stricken areas of the globe.

   Catholic Charities was by far the largest end recipient of illegal   
   immigrant funding from:   
      
   1) The State Department   
   2) USAID   
   3) FEMA   
      
   Our money was used to drive the flow of illegals into and throughout our   
   country.

   Mike Benz: USAID is not about aid. It’s about coordinating clandestine   
   operations through foreign left-wing NGOs. With a $50 billion budget, it   
   even surpasses the budgets of the CIA and State Department combined.

   It’s a mystery that U.S. taxpayers were ever funding this kind of NGO in   
   the first place. Time to audit USAID & every other agency that’s dumping   
   away our taxpayer $$.

   Like I said before, USAID is a front for the CIA.  And together with NGO’s   
   like the Open Society Foundation, they have been using US tax dollars &   
   govt resources as their personal piggy bank. It has been infuriating to   
   watch. Hopefully now the whole truth will come out.
