Dismantling USAID Will Help Stop U.S. Funding of Terrorists
Peloni: It should be recalled, as explained by Mike Benz, USAID is nothing more than local and regional capacity building across the whole world of assets that can be used by either the Pentagon, the State Dept or the CIA for their own activities. Hence, while it is good to see that the USAID program is placed under the watchful auspices of the US State Dept, it should be recalled that the ranks of the US State Dept oversaw partial funding of some of the alarming anti-Bibi protests on the streets of Jerusalem during the attempt to pursue Judicial Reform in Israel in early 2023. So, as Greenfield describes it, rolling the USAID under the control of the State Dept is only a good first step, and the second and third steps will require significant reform from within the US State Dept, something which is not entirely likely under Marco Rubio – recall the section relating to Rubio in Part II of Nelson’s important review of Trump’s nominees:
MR. PRESIDENT, WHO ON EARTH IS VETTING YOUR MAGA APPOINTEES? PART TWO
It’s time to get our foreign aid under control.

USAID has been a major problem for a long time, but, under the Biden administration, it turned into a rogue agency that actively resisted the efforts of the Afghan watchdog to get information about its activities and that has directed billions of aid to terror states in ways that are completely unaccountable by moving the money through the UN and third party NGOs while making it impossible to track what they were doing with it.
