USAID Shut Down: It Is Over, “Beyond Repair”

By Pamela Geller - on

More than 600 USAID employees have being locked out of the agency’s computer systems overnight. The rest received emails saying that “at the direction of Agency leadership” the headquarters building “will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, Feb. 3.”

So much colossal corruption. USAID recipients include (short list) Islamic terror groups, Never-Trumper Bill Kristol, Burisma, Trump persecutor Alvin Bragg, AOC, the Wuhan lab, far left protests, fake AIDS prevention workshops set up to topple foreign governments, running a global Internet censorship program, and on and on. It’s beyond all your wildest imaginings..

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.

“By closing USAID, Trump and Musk have toppled the most gigantic global terror organization in history.”

Scott Adams: DOGE already drilled through untold layers of government bureaucracy and found the heart of the Deep State beast: USAID. Amazingly, this made all the Deep State puppets in our government “prairie dog” to complain, so we can easily spot them going forward.

Mike Benz educates Joe Rogan on USAID: “There is no aid in USAID. It’s not an aid organization. USAID stands for US Agency for International Development. What it’s developing is all the activist organizations in foreign countries that the state department is building to gain influence.

USAID was created to be a central hub that organized all the different foreign clandestine operations. It has a $50B budget. The entire intelligence community is only $72B.

It’s more than the CIA and the State Department. It’s a switch player to assist the pentagon, the state department, and the intelligence community.” (X)

MIKE BENZ: TRUMP PROSECUTORS WERE FUNDED BY USAID

“This push to prosecute Trump by Alvin Bragg, Soros was a minor co-funder.

He gave them $10,000, that’s it!

The $14 million he gave to the parent company, the fiscal sponsor of FJP (Fair and Just Prosecution, a nonprofit that supports and influences progressive prosecutors in the U.S.), well, that ain’t shit compared to the $27 million that USAID gave them.

Every time you hear the word Soros prosecutor, no, they’re USAID prosecutors.

Terror Finance at the State Department and USAID

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.

By: Focus on Western Islamism, February 1, 2o25;

Executive Summary

  • 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.

Introduction

The Trump administration’s order to freeze foreign aid programs has delivered a hearty shock to the bloated humanitarian aid industry.

The Wall Street Journal quoted one leading figure, Jeremy Konyndyk, president of advocacy organization Refugees International, confessing: “Everyone in my world is walking around today with our hair on fire and our jaws on the floor.”

Konyndyk, whose public charity pays him over $314,000 a year, has been repeatedly quoted and interviewed in newspaper columns and cable news to voice his despair over the prospective paucity of funds, stating the abrupt halt of American charity makes the United States look “cruel,” “callous” and “unreliable.”

Konyndyk’s name may be familiar to those who have tracked the federal government’s funding and subsidy of violent extremism over the past decade. A former official in both the Biden and Obama administrations, Konyndyk served at a high level in the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which operates under the Department of State. Konyndyk, the Middle East Forum found in 2017, was involved in USAID’s transfer of $125,000 to the Islamic Relief Agency, a terrorist organization in Sudan linked to Bin Laden.

In that instance, the Middle East Forum found, officials expressed fears of repercussions to the American aid industry if the payments were not provided.

Konyndyk and other humanitarian aid industry fatcats are offering similar panicked sounds now. But, notwithstanding the Trump administration’s broader agenda with respect to foreign aid spending, the circumstances remain rather similar: the problem of public monies subsidizing terror remains as big a problem now as ever before.

As the Middle East Forum has documented extensively, over the past decade, the amount of federal funding that ends up in the pockets of Islamist organizations, both domestic and foreign, makes the U.S. government one of the leading financiers of global Islamism. Violent extremists in particular have prospered under the federal government’s international aid programs. The State Department and USAID have knowingly funded terrorists and their proxies with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Paid altruists, terror-tied Islamists, and indolent civil servants have all contributed to this state of affairs.

Over the past few years, the Middle East Forum has uncovered a significant amount of money that illustrates the depth of this problem. This dossier serves to showcase both our data and our findings. In total, we are concerned about $164 million of funding to organizations with radical links, of which some many millions went to organizations with links to violent extremists.

There are problems with the reliability of government spending data, as reported below. It should also be noted that these are the approved grant sums; while the actual amounts outlaid are unknown.
