Say here, this is shocking stuff. And so it sounds as if this is a slush fund and an ATM machine for all the deep state actors and their activities both abroad and a little bit domestically.

B (8:29)

Yes, yes. Now, the abroad thing is bad enough on its own, but the domestically is where it really borders on the criminal. I mean, and if not the criminal, at least the predicate for completely shutting down the agency and salting the earth with its remains. I mean, take for example, how USAID hoodwinked Trump term 1.0. I mean, USAID systematically targeted every single aspect of Trump world during his first term. And I don't think Trump world even knew it. Not just USAID declaring internally doctrinally that populism was an attack on democracy and using that as the basis to try to topple the governments of all Trump's allies in Europe and in Brazil, the right wing populist parties and movements, for example of Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage, Matteo Salvini, the Box Party In Spain, the AfD party in Germany, but also to try to topple Bolsonaro's regime in Brazil, but also targeting Trump himself. USAID has mercenary media for hire. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year paying media outlets to write whirlwind surround sound news cycles to favor the Blob's intended political events in the region. So one example of that, a classic, is a real doozy I should note, is something called the occrp, which you can just think of it as the Corruption Reporting Project. It's the largest consortium of investigative journalists in the world. Hit piece journalists in the world. USAID paid this group $20 million in 2018, 2019 to write hit piece journalist investigations on the Blob's targets in Ukraine. And they dug up dirt on Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager at the height of Russiagate and tried to insinuate that Paul Manafort was a Russian agent. And they dug up dirt on Rudy Giuliani's work in Ukraine and used as a basis to impeach Donald Trump.

B (12:00)

Right. So USAID has a media development program. Development you know, in the same way that business development means soliciting donors, media development at USAID means acting as a donor to media organizations. So this is state sponsored media. This is mercenary media for hire. When USAID's programming goals want the media in a particular region to print certain news stories or to demonize certain individuals or politicians in the area, they pay media outlets to produce the dirt on them. And this ended up spiraling back at home against Trump World in a massive way because USAID paid $20 million to the OCCRP, the largest collective of investigative journalists, hit piece journalists in the world. The same group that broke the Panama Papers and suspiciously gets access to hacked documents and then is first to break them because they mysteriously obtain these hacked documents. Not exactly a good look when you're getting your money from a CIA cutout like usaid. But maybe that's a story for another day. But what they did is they wrote, occrp took that 20 million and they wrote hit pieces on Rudy Giuliani and his work in Ukraine. And then that ended up being used as the basis for part of the Trump impeachment in 2019 and Trump Ukraine and Trump World and Rudy in Ukraine. And so USAID is directly sponsoring the production of hit pieces to impeach the President under which USAID is nominally supposed to serve. I mean, this is the sort of thing that's, that is, you know, insurrectionary in the ultimate. But because USAID does not require presidential findings for its work, they can get, they don't need a report, the President can be kept totally in the dark. All the grant administrators need to know, all the, all oversight is told is we're supporting free and independent media in Ukraine, we're supporting free and independent media. And what they don't know is that they're working with their state sponsored media to dig up hit pieces on their political opponents sitting in the West Wing of the White House. But you see this all over. USAID does the same thing in Western Hemisphere. USAID sponsors media that operates in Brazil in order to target Bolsonaro and his supporters as all over Eastern Europe, basically in any country with a Trump ally, Pakistan with Imran Khan, you name it. But this gets back to this Truman show point, which is that you're seeing these veneer of white shoe media institutionally celebrated. OCCRP has gotten dozens of awards for high integrity media and breaking the most important media stories. And you know, it's hit pieces for hire. It's like Paul Krugman getting a Pulitzer. But I mean the whole thing's a hoax.

A (15:12)

Has USAID only 2 minutes in here been involved in coups like the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine? Has this money been used for such activities?

B (15:22)

Yeah, coups is a particular specialty of U.S. aid. USAID is the arch coup monster all over the world. For example, USAID spent like $1.2 billion pumping up the Arab Spring protests and giving money to the protesters and protesting groups and the institutions sponsoring them. In Egypt during the Arab Spring in 2010, 2011, they did the same thing in Tunisia. They, they did the same thing in Ukraine in 2014. Victoria Nuland bragged on tape in December 2013 that USAID and the U.S. state Department and NED collectively paid $5 billion to the very institutions that spearheaded the overthrow of the democratically elected Ukrainian government just two months after she made that speech in February 2014 at the Maidan Square. And this is one of the reasons that USAID is spending tens of billions of dollars of US Taxpayer money to continue to pay these groups in Ukraine. You get them all on payroll and so they'll do the dirt anyway. And a great example of this is a document that I produced about a year and a half ago, but I re upped it this week and everyone should read it, which is the Mark Milley Joe Biden Pentagon Special Forces Planning Manual that involves how USAID can assist secret special forces psychological operations work when the military. There was a scenario in this public government document that I produced, the Special forces manual from 2021 that goes over a scenario where the Special Forces is planning a race riot in Africa in order to create a cleavage between African workers and Chinese business interests and a Chinese government attempt to purchase support in West Africa.

B (18:23)

Yes. So what I was referring to was a special Forces document a strategic vision blueprint produced in 2021 during the Biden administration control over the Pentagon during the Mark Milley hold over the Pentagon during which laid out a strategic vision for how best to synchronize Special Forces psychological operations work with USAID and related partner groups assisting the psychological operations activity. Now psychological operations is not like just some big bad voodoo work. What it usually refers to is the fomenting of cleavages within a society being targeted by the US foreign policy establishment in order to achieve some national security or national interest end in the country. And so it's justified by keeping us safe and by making us wealthier. And what it usually refers to is a nice way of saying ginning up and generating riots in the country and street protests. All street protest activity that's that's organized by by special forces civil or civil military or or any or any Pentagon equity usually refers to has some component of galvanizing people to take to the streets to protest the government and create a democratic predicate for regime change by portraying the government as being unresponsive to the people protesting and then categorizing police crackdowns on the on the Pentagon or blob sponsored protesters as a humanitarian or human rights human rights offense. But in this government document which everybody can go to right now on my X page it's at Mike Ben Cyber. I put the, I put the link there and the page it's pages 16 to 17. It's currently still up on the on the US military's website. And what it calls for is it goes over a hypothetical scenario for how Special Forces could best carry out its mission during the Biden years. And they give the example of countering Chinese influence in Africa which is a noble goal. Genuinely truly is. We should be working to counter Chinese influence in Africa. But there are certain bounds on the dirty tricks that I believe the US should should put in terms of how it carries that work out. And in this rather than creating a Truman show out of all the institutions and population in the area where we're doing such dirty deeds, especially out in the open. So in this scenario the US military caught wind of a Chinese plan to purchase a port in West Africa which would therefore give the Chinese access to the Atlantic Ocean and to therefore project influence against the U.S. navy. And that could be a national security threat if China is buying up ports in West Africa. Totally agree. But in the scenario, they go over how the Special Forces would play a role in stopping this. And they give the example of what happens when the US Ambassador to that West African country tries to tell the African government not to build this port. And what if the African government says, no, we want to still build it? How can the Special Forces still stop the production of that port? And so the Special Forces there laid out a plan where what they would do is they would generate race riots to, quote, inflame racial tensions of the African population against the Chinese businesses in the area and against the Chinese interest in the area and get the Africans to riot and do protests in the streets, as well as to quit their jobs so that they stop working for Chinese companies. And the Special Forces laid out the scenario where one of their key partners would be usaid, because US Aid under the mask, under the false predicate of doing jobs fairs, would provide no show jobs to the striking and rioting Africans so that they would be financially incentivized to quit their jobs and participate in the. In. In the riots to destabilize the African country in that. That economic destabilization of the African government would force the African government to come back to the negotiating table with the U.S. state Department, where, you know, in a sense, we would turn off the riots if they turn off the deal to buy the Chinese ports. But in that case, you have USAID as being the key partner by funding the capacity to do these riots. And you see USAID doing the same thing with the Maidan Square riots in 2014 that ousted Yanukovych. You saw the same thing with USAID funding the street riots against the Prime Minister of Bangladesh that successfully ousted her from office four months ago. You see the same thing with USAID funding the riots that successfully ousted the government of Tunisia during the Arab Spring. The same thing with USAID funding the riots that produced the. That ousted the government of Egypt during the Arab Spring time and time and time again, whether it's. Whether it's Western Hemisphere with Venezuela or Bolivia, whether that's Eastern Europe with Ukraine or Georgia, whether that's Middle East, North Africa with Tunisia and Egypt, whether that's Central Asia with Bangladesh. USAID is the primary sponsor of Blob rental riots. And most disturbingly, that even comes back home because USAID has a very curious relationship with Black Lives Matter. You can look at Black Lives Matter having direct partnerships now with Samantha Powers, usaid. These are public documents about Samantha Powers commitment to support Black Lives Matter programming. You also have The USAID paying $27 million to Black Lives Matter's chief organizational structure parent group, which is called the Tide Center, USAID paid them $27 million. While you had USAID adjacent riot planners in 2020 who openly contemplated through a group called the Transition Integrity Project, that Black Lives Matter should be capacity built in the middle of their riots to serve as a potential destabilization force to oust Trump from office if he won the 2020 election.

A (25:17)

So how would we go about defeating this beast? Is Elon going about this correctly and President Trump?

B (25:23)

That's a complicated question. And I sincerely hope the people who are, who are at the tip of the spear in terms of White House policy really know what they're doing, because we are conducting open heart surgery on the body of the entire American empire right now. And I'm not fully sure that the folks who are doing that open heart surgery fully understand the anatomy of the body they are operating on. You know, I have oftentimes for the past several years when I crusade on this, people hear what I'm saying and say, okay, well, we need to eliminate this entirely. This thing is so corrupt and evil. And it is corrupt and evil. The issue is it also plays a critical role in projecting US Influence around the world. And, you know, I always say, while the Blob is the key antagonist, the chief villain on the other side of the story about how America can become great again, it also does play an indispensable role in securing U.S. interests around the world. I talk about, for example, the Milton Friedman analogy of the pencil. Milton Friedman has this very viral popular video that he recorded decades ago about the power of the free market for the creation of pencils. You know, that no one person can make a pencil and that, you know, America, you know, the reason we have pencils in America is because of the magic of the market operating to get us, you know, wood from trees in South America and graphite from, you know, mines in Argentina and gum for the pencil eraser from trees in Malaysia. Well, you know, what happens if, for example, the Malaysian government decides that they no longer want to allow, you know, US Corporations or the export of, you know, gum tree products to pencils. America would be potentially without pencils unless we had some capacity to influence the internal events of Malaysia. Same thing, for example, with the graphite in a pencil. If the, if the. Let's just say there's a labor strike in the country in South America with the graphite mines that we use to make pencils. Well, if the unions go on strike there against American corporations or South American corporations that are producing that graphite, well, then no pencils. The US has perceived and potentially sincerely does need a mechanism to be able to influence the activity of those unions or influence the nationalization of natural resource policies in foreign countries. And that sometimes involves dirty work, infiltrating those unions, putting pressure on foreign governments. But the problem is, is this license to do dirty work has become completely unchecked, especially at USAID where it doesn't even require a presidential finding to do to do this, this covert action. And so I did not. It was unseemly, but perhaps okay when this was being done to protect US Interests. But when USAID began to be weaponized against sitting Presidents Beginning in 2016, that's really when when the bets are off. Because the whole purpose of having an American empire is for the benefit of the people of the American homeland. If the foreign policy establishment controls the affairs of the American homeland too, then we don't even have a democracy. We have a blob ocracy. And we have no control over our own internal affairs. We're not even setting our own foreign policy at that point.

B (30:29)

Number one, shut down the agency and move it into a branch of the government that goes through the traditional oversight process. So, for example, I think this plan to shut down USAID and Tucker Understate is a very interesting one. I'm not sure if that's ultimately the best place for it, but as an interim matter, I think it's potentially the right move. But what's really important is, and I say this time and time again, for the past week and a half since this saga has been playing out. But simply ending USAID as an organization does not end USAID as a function. If USAID grants and contracts and operational structuring remain the same, but headquarters simply shut down and moved over to State, Well, State just inherits a USAID herpes infection. It simply will have the same problems that USAID had if that structuring fundamentally remains. This is the same reason. There really wouldn't be much change in the CIA if you simply shut down Langley and moved CIA to be directly under State. In fact, this was the original plan in 1948 for the CIA. George Kennan, who authored the National Security Council 102 plausible deniability doctrine, which gives the CIA its private cloak for all of its covert action work. George Kennan, three months before he penned that doctrine, initially wanted the CIA Operations Division to operate directly at State under what he called the Bureau of Political Warfare. You can read the 1948 memo called the Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare where he goes over that exact structure. But the fact is, the CIA would still be doing CIA work. It would just be warehoused within State. And right now, USAID is about to undergo that exact process. Now, the nice thing is because State works very closely with the White House National Security Council, and there is a tremendous amount of constant communication and oversight between White House and State. In theory, it will be much easier to catch the malfeasance at State than it was at usaid. But the problem is, is everybody's, everybody in Washington is in on the take at usaid. You know, this is a bigger problem than Democrats and Republicans. You know, as I mentioned, a huge portion of the, of the, of the Republican Congress is directly or indirectly, whether personally or their constituents or their donors are dependent on either USAID funding directly or USAID covert influence. Work to support their activities. I'll give you a great example. Rex Tillerson was was the chairman of ExxonMobil for for the first few years of the Trump administration. ExxonMobil has been a stalwart donor to the Republican Party for, for decades. Well, you know, who was Victoria Nuland standing in front of when she made that speech that I referenced in December 2013 about all the billions of dollars USAID had pumped into the Renta riots in Ukraine? In 2014, when she made that speech about USAID's funding of the Renta riots, she was at a sponsored event by ExxonMobil and Chevron. The literal signs for the Exxon and Chevron sponsors were behind Victoria Nuland when she said it. Which is to say that it's not just the direct USAID folks in the Republican Party who are going to push back on the attempt to cut these grants while they're at State. It's not just going to be the Liz Cheney types. Liz Cheney worked at usaid. It's not just going to be the Bill Kristol types. Bill Kristol's a part of an organization that gets millions from usaid. But it's going to be key donors to the Republican Party who are going to want to keep these grants and contracts and covert operations flowing. And there's going to need to be a very difficult conversation by highly informed Trump world foreign policy architects about how to make American statecraft more consistent with American norms and values in the years ahead.
