RIP USAID?

On January 16, 2025, just 4 days before @realDonaldTrump's inauguration, USAID made a $3.3m payment to a vendor in Nigeria called DAI Global LLC.

I looked into the payment history and saw that between August 2020 and January 2025, at least $48 million of US taxpayers' money supposedly invested in Nigeria went to DAI Global LLC, registered in Bethesda, Maryland.

So I looked into @DAIGlobal's activities in Nigeria and it turns out to be a run-of-the-mill "Climate NGO" which organizes meetings and seminars, and stages photos with politicians, and little else.

Yet nearly all of its payments from USAID in Nigeria are labeled "ALL OTHER PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND TECHNICAL SERVICES."

It last published an output in Nigeria in 2020. So what exactly it has received 48 MILLION US DOLLARS for over that period is anyone's guess.

A USAID money laundering partner? CIA front organisation? State department Nigerian slush fund? Perhaps all 3? Who knows?

But it gets worse.

Since @realDonaldTrump's inauguration on January 20, at least $799,000 of US taxpayers money has been paid by USAID to recipients in Nigeria marked "UNDISCLOSED" or "MISCELLANEOUS."

At least $446,000 of these payments to "UNDISCLOSED" recipients in Nigeria was sent across 8 payments between January 29 and January 30.

Meanwhile, you will remember that the president ordered USAID to halt all payments on January 28.

@USAIDNigeria disobeyed a DIRECT INSTRUCTION from the president and spent the next 24 hours after the instruction furiously shelling out half a million dollars of US taxpayers money to recipients in Nigeria marked "UNDISCLOSED."

I'll leave the implications of this to you.

USAID: Sadly, Politico reporters haven’t been paid after USAID payments were suspended. Opposition news outlets across Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa are facing similar problems. Was Politico funded by USAID or is this just a coincidence?

A 2006 archived USAID website proudly claims the agency "supported" revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Lebanon, and Kyrgyzstan.

USAID funded and trained thousands of journalists, lawyers, judges, and election workers, conducted polls questioning election legitimacy, published reports alleging fraud, and helped oversee new elections, among other initiatives.

"Many people watched in wonder as the multi-colored revolutions took place—the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Rose in Georgia, the Cedar in Lebanon, the Tulip in Kyrgyzstan... Few realized that for years, the United States and other countries and organizations had been supporting this homegrown desire for democracy."

"When the Orange Revolution began, 29-year-old television anchorman Andriy Shevchenko was news director of Channel 5, the only regional independent TV network. He had received media training through Internews, a USAID-funded NGO, and visited U.S. TV stations where he learned about investigative reporting.

Is this a good use of American taxpayer dollars?

"At 2:30 a.m. Monday, after the second round of elections, strange results came from the election commission,” said Shevchenko. “Yushchenko left the commission building and said, ‘We don’t trust the results.’ He asked people to come to the Maidan Nezalezhnosti [Independence Square] in the morning. At the station, we realized we would not go to sleep that night, and we kept coverage of the square for 15 days nonstop.""The first days, we were the only channel covering it.

Then other channels followed.” Soon, hundreds of thousands would leave their homes and villages to join mass demonstrations.""People were fed up with corruption, election fraud, and the slide back to authoritarian rule, which the independent press was reporting,” said Shevchenko, one of 2,000 Ukrainian journalists trained over the past decade.

Support from the United States, Internews, and the European Union created a feeling that others stood with them “in the trenches,” said Shevchenko.

Election observers from Ukraine, the United States, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe also issued widely publicized reports of fraud."

"U.S. aid helped us to conduct the poll that showed Yushchenko won while the authorities intended to falsify the elections,” said Anatoliy Rachok, director of the Razumkov Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Studies which received U.S. and Eurasia Foundation aid."

"For five years, we polled people and reported that the attitude of people towards the government was very negative. The population believed in those figures,” said Razumkov."

"Then, when the Center reported that Yushchenko had really won the election, “our poll was believable and it was used by the Supreme Court” in overturning the official tally."

"U.S. aid help for the poll was absolutely important—the poll results after the second round made people go to the street,” he added.""Another NGO—Development Associates —did its own democracy preparation work with the Central Election Commission, training 100,000 commissioners for the 2004 elections."

"U.S. democracy grants also paid for experts from the American Bar Association (ABA), International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute (NDI), the University of Maryland, and other groups to train lawyers, judges, journalists, members of parliament, NGOs, political party leaders, and others."

ODA stands for Official Development Assistance. It refers to the flow of financial aid from governments of high-income countries to "developing nations.

FDI stands for Foreign Direct Investment, which is privates sector investment in other countries that is directly or indirectly subsidized by taxpayers. We are literally paying companies to outsource our industries and American jobs.

It’s important to understand the relationship between USAID's external policies and past federal "immigration & refugee" policies.

Remittances from the millions illegal immigrants infesting the US provide more money to the home networks USAID sponsors in target countries than USAID does itself.

The CIA World Factbook pays close attention to remittances because it’s one of the top ways the Swamp funds proxy wars & political influence work.

When State, USAID, DHS & HHS pay for "migrant & refugee housing" and cash debit cards, it frees up money these uninvited foreigners would otherwise have to spend on lodging, utilities, clothing, and food.

These leeches also pay no property taxes, but their kids are "educated" in our taxpayer subsidized public schools. Add in free medical care and cell phones, the list is almost endless...




That naturally turbocharges the remittances sent back home.
