USAID is being dismantled. Contrary to what the moral busybodies declare, the aid infrastructure of the West has actively subverted other societies. Its only when it turned inwards with the same zeal that it is now being dismantled - brick by brick.

"The essence of subversion is not the overthrowing of governments by force, but the gradual erosion of their institutions, culture, and moral framework, until what was once unthinkable becomes accepted as inevitable." — Richard Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences
In a recent discussion at an alumni chat room, when I shared the news of dismantling USAID, my fellow alums joined together to hound me for saying that USAID was pushing woke initiatives in Indian rural areas and other subversive activities.
Despite the fact that I shared the evidence of such initiatives, as below, those against me kept on with their attack.
In fact, one went on to even spew such vitriol against me:
"You honestly believe that an organization like USAID has been going around teaching politics and LGBTQ rights to poor people around the world? They operate in 120 countries to fight epidemics, provide basic education and healthcare. It’s distressing that an alumnus from XXXX would spew such nonsensical propaganda."
So there was no real discussion on the merits or demerits of the proposition shared. There was an outrage-laden rhetoric that had a disgust based on nothing more than belief in one's own moral position.
Exclusivism and vitriol that stem from this idea of self-superiority is the very reasons why the subversion of societies around the world has been undertaken without any challenge from the left. The Leftists have become a caricature over the years. You scratch the surface, and suddenly, you find they are devoid of facts and common sense.
The unraveling of USAID has come at this juncture. This one action by the Trump government will in all probability be the most defining of his current term.
It will change the way the US is perceived (and how others engage with it) - if the hostility that America's many secretive and state organizations unleash on other societies and countries ceases.
Dismantling USAID will give a fresh lease of life to many societies in the world to breathe and work again.
Remember, the Global South does NOT need money from the Western nations. The South needs the North to get off its back!
For every dollar sent as aid to Africa, $14 are taken out by the Global North.
This money merry-go-round where the global South, specifically sub-Saharan Africa, loses out to the rich countries and indeed the world has also been underscored by other research studies. Global Justice Now, (link) says that while $161bn a year comes into Africa through loans and remittances; $203bn leaves the continent in the form of corruption and other reasons.
That’s the essence of a report (pdf) from several campaign groups released today. Based on a set of new figures, it finds that sub-Saharan Africa is a net creditor to the rest of the world to the tune of more than $41bn. Sure, there’s money going in: around $161bn a year in the form of loans, remittances (those working outside Africa and sending money back home), and aid. But there’s also $203bn leaving the continent. Some of this is direct, such as $68bn in mainly dodged taxes. Essentially multinational corporations “steal” much of this – legally – by pretending they are really generating their wealth in tax havens. These so-called “illicit financial flows” amount to around 6.1 percent of the continent’s entire gross domestic product (GDP) – or three times what Africa receives in aid. (Source:Africa is not poor, we are stealing its wealth, Nick Dearden)
Theft and plunder is the only strategy that these state and non-state actors have known with respect to the rest of the world.
Now, they are using all that demonic tools and minds internally on the Americans.

On February 3rd, 2025, the Trump White House shared the shady activities of USAID and how it had used the American tax payers' dollars to fund egregious projects in other countries. Titled "AT USAID, Waste and Abuse runs Deep" the statement shared some examples of the waste. It started by saying:
For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the ridiculous — and, in many cases, malicious — pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats, with next-to-no oversight.
We share a more exhaustive list of the initiatives and the moneys disbursed by USAID listed by the US Foreign Affairs Committee (Source: US Foreign Affairs)
$15 million for condoms to the Taliban through USAID.
$446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.
$1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.
$14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.
$20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.
$47,020 for a transgender opera in Colombia through the State Department.
$32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru through the State Department.
$55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the StateDepartment.
$3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.
$7,071.58 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada through the State Department.
$80,000 for an LGBTQ community center in Bratislava, Slovakia through the State Department.
$3.2 million to help Tunisian migrants readjust to life in Tunisia after deportation through the State Department.
$16,500 to foster a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society” through the State Department.
$10,000 to pressure Lithuanian corporations to promote “DEI values” through the State Department.
$8,000 to promote DEI among LGBTQ groups in Cyprus through the State Department.
$1.5 million to promote job opportunities for LGBTQ individuals in Serbia through USAID.
$70,884 to create a U.S.-Irish musical to promote DEI in Ireland through the State Department.
$39,652 to host seminars at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on gender identity and racial equality through the State Department.
Through USAID, $2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations in Vietnam’s largest cities.
$425,622 to help Indonesian coffee companies become more climate and gender friendly through USAID.
One look at this list shows how the USAID funds were wasted and targeted at the societies to dismantle them.
USAID: A Tool of Control, Not Aid – The Dark Nexus of Pentagon Censorship and Psy-Ops
What if "aid" was never about helping but about controlling?
What if "democracy" was just a weaponized narrative designed to silence you?
And what if the same CIA-backed media warfare used abroad was now being turned on Americans themselves?
That’s exactly what Benz exposed—a chilling reality where USAID isn’t about humanitarian relief, but about geopolitical dominance, where "democracy" has been redefined to mean obedience, and where the Pentagon’s censorship machine has infiltrated every corner of public discourse.
Ukraine was a good case study for that.
The Ukraine Coup: A Testing Ground for Information Warfare
The 2014 U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine wasn’t just a geopolitical maneuver—it was a test lab for psychological warfare. The CIA deployed tools designed to combat Russia’s media influence in the region, turning Ukraine into a battleground not just for land, but for minds.
0:00
/2:49
From Global Psy-Ops to Domestic Repression
By 2016, the same tools used to manipulate foreign populations were turned inward—against Americans. The Pentagon and intelligence agencies, having perfected the art of controlling narratives abroad, began using those same strategies to censor and shape public perception within the U.S.
The weaponization of the internet, shadow-banning, algorithmic suppression, and mass censorship were all perfected in Ukraine—and then deployed on Americans who dared to question the establishment.
USAID: A Trojan Horse for Regime Change and Thought Control
USAID operates under the guise of "humanitarian assistance," but its true function has always been geopolitical control.
Wherever USAID goes, regime change follows. It’s a financial funnel for the globalist war machine, backing uprisings, funding opposition groups, and silencing dissent under the false pretense of ‘supporting democracy.’
But as Benz revealed, democracy itself has been redefined—not as free speech, but as absolute allegiance to the ruling order.

The most terrifying part? The very tools once used to destabilize foreign nations are now being used to control you.
Mike Benz discusses another interesting topic - the relationship between Hunter Biden, USAID, and shadowy organizations within America.
0:00
/0:37
Hunter Biden’s deep entanglement with U.S.-funded foreign influence networks extends beyond Burisma—he also served on the Chairman’s Advisory Board of the National Democratic Institute (NDI), an organization funded by USAID to promote "democracy" abroad.
Ronald Reagan's Westminster Address in 1982 became the basis for the creation of the National Endowment of Democracy (NED) one year later. An organization that funds "Democracy Promotion" programs around the world.
“Forty years ago, President Ronald Reagan challenged the free world to ‘foster the infrastructure of democracy.’ He argued that support for freedom in other countries was not cultural imperialism, and that it was in fact cultural condescension to believe people anywhere prefer dictatorship to democracy. With the Westminster speech, he inspired the creation of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its four core institutes, including IRI, one year later. (Source:IRI Statement on 40th Anniversary of Westminster Speech/ International Republican Institute)
Behind the veneer of the altruism of "Democracy Promotion" was the need to hide the subversive activities of the CIA and give them a legitimate facade.
NED was the means for achieving that.
"A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." - Allan Weinstein, Founder of National Endowment for Democracy
NED was not working alone. It was working with other operatives. George Soros was one of them.
So, we know that the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is an American covert intelligence operative agency that uses "Democracy Promotion" as a tool for subversion.
The NED funnels its money via four affiliated institutes:
Despite claims to the contrary, the NED funds groups from both Democratic and Republican parties, the business community, and the Labor unions. All of these then use these funds to subvert regimes and societies as we shall see.
Meanwhile, when the IRS sought to investigate Kevin Morris—Hunter’s financial backer and legal fixer—the CIA intervened. Why? Morris had reportedly covered Hunter’s tax debts, making him a key figure in Hunter’s financial web. The CIA’s involvement suggests a potential national security cover-up, shielding political elites from scrutiny.
The CIA blocked federal investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris during a five-year probe into the first son’s alleged tax crimes, a whistleblower has told House impeachment leaders. House Oversight and Judiciary Committee chairmen say the whistleblower informed them the intelligence agency stopped IRS and Justice Department investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, a Hollywood lawyer and patron of the first son, according to a Thursday letter addressed to CIA Director William Burns. The whistleblower informed Oversight chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that two DOJ officials were summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. — and told Morris “could not be a witness” for their investigation into Hunter Biden.

Web of Intrigue in Ukraine
The revelations about U.S. ties with Ukraine, the weaponization of Burisma, and the Biden family's involvement have exposed a deep web of geopolitical maneuvering and financial entanglements.
Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, became a political tool in the broader U.S. strategy against Russia, with its connections extending to key political figures in Washington.
Reports indicate that Burisma was leveraged not just for business interests but as a geopolitical pressure point, influencing both domestic and foreign policy.
The Biden connection to Burisma—through Hunter Biden's board membership—has raised concerns about conflicts of interest and political leverage in shaping Ukraine policy. These disclosures underscore how energy politics, corporate influence, and foreign intervention have blurred the lines between governance and private enrichment.
As this saga unfolds and Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) goes after the wasteful spending by USAID, the democrats are in panic.
... and going after Elon directly!

But as Louisiana Senator John Kennedy says - no one in that entire group is angry at the wasteful spending that Elon Musk has unearthed!

/16:24
With that as the basis, let us further go into the world of USAID to see what it has been doing over the years.
How USAID Runs and Controls the Global Media and Narratives
One interesting claim from the entire deep dive into USAID and its funding is how this organization directly funded news agencies like Politico, New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, and BBC.
The closure of USAID funding has sent shockwaves through the media industry, with Politico among the most unexpected casualties.
For years, USAID has functioned as an "aid" agency and as a financial pipeline for media influence, covertly funding outlets, and journalists aligned with its geopolitical objectives. With the spigot turned off, reports suggest that Politico has struggled with salary payments, exposing how much Western media depends on government-linked funding to sustain its operations.
This revelation raises serious questions: Was Politico genuinely independent or another mouthpiece for U.S. foreign policy? The intersection of state-backed funding and editorial influence has long been a subject of speculation. Still, the financial struggles following USAID’s closure confirm a more profound truth—mainstream media is not just biased. It structurally depends on the forces it claims to "objectively" report on. The myth of an independent press is crumbling.
A quick search on Google reveals how these very media organizations are shouting hoarse about the... well.. "fake news" about their funding by USAID.
One has never seen a usurper be an honest arbiter of his own crimes.
So that is what needs to be considered when one sees these headlines. As we explore further, we will learn why these media organizations repeatedly peddle falsehoods even at this stage.
David Sachs, a key figure in AI cryptocurrency, pulled back the curtain on the BBC’s funding streams and its deep ties to left-wing organizations and government-backed media control efforts worldwide. According to Sachs, the BBC is not just a state broadcaster—it is part of a coordinated, global information operation heavily funded by USAID and other ideological actors.
0:00
/1:33
Sachs highlighted how USAID distributes approximately $50 billion annually, not just for “aid” but to finance media networks, political influence operations, and NGOs across the globe. Among the recipients? Japanese media, politicians, and NGOs—suggest a vast, covert influence operation that extends far beyond the developing world.
Perhaps most damning is the BBC’s role in creating the Trusted News Initiative (TNI)—a shadowy censorship consortium that dictates narratives across Western media. Under the guise of "combating disinformation," TNI coordinates global newsrooms to push aligned stories and suppress dissenting voices, ensuring that only state-approved narratives dominate the public sphere.
What does this mean? The BBC, once hailed as a beacon of journalistic integrity, is little more than a state-funded propaganda tool, embedded within a vast global information warfare network. USAID, along with other funding arms, ensures that "independent" journalism is anything but independent.
The USAID-Clinton Regime Change Machine and the Hindu Genocide in Bangladesh
A chilling exposé by Grayzone has blown the lid off a carefully orchestrated U.S.-backed coup in Bangladesh—one that paved the way for Hindu genocide while advancing Washington’s globalist agenda.
At the heart of this operation? USAID, the Clinton Foundation, and the U.S. government-funded International Republican Institute (IRI)—all working in lockstep to destabilize Sheikh Hasina’s government and install a regime more pliant to American interests.
Weaponizing ‘Activism’ for Regime Change
Leaked documents expose how the IRI trained an army of political agitators, recruiting rappers, LGBTQ activists, and “transgender dance performers” to manufacture a social movement primed for a ‘power shift.’ These Western-backed operatives were not mere protesters but covert agents of chaos, carefully cultivated to ignite political unrest and lay the groundwork for Hasina’s removal.
Here is very good discussion between Mike Benz and Tucker Carlson on how USAID funded IRI (which is also funded by the National Endowment for Democracy as we saw in the beginning) was leading the subversion and regime change in Bangladesh.
0:00
/10:27
Internal communications reveal that IRI staff openly boasted about their collaboration with these activists to ‘destabilize Bangladesh’s politics.’ This was no grassroots revolution—it was engineered subversion.
The Hidden Hand of the Clinton Foundation
The Clinton Foundation’s history in Bangladesh is steeped in backdoor dealings and political manipulation.
Under the pretext of development aid, it has funneled millions into networks designed to infiltrate and weaken governments unwilling to bow to Western dictates.
Hasina had resisted aligning with U.S. geopolitical objectives in the region, refusing to let Bangladesh be a mere pawn in Washington’s great power games against China and India. That made her a target.
A Coup with Bloody Consequences
Once the U.S.-backed operatives succeeded in toppling Hasina’s government, the floodgates of terror opened—Hindu communities bore the brunt of the regime change operation. Reports of brutal attacks, murders, and mass displacements have emerged, eerily reminiscent of past genocides fueled by Western interventions.
While mainstream media remains silent, the truth is undeniable: this was not just a regime change—it was a bloodbath unleashed by globalist forces using their favorite playbook.
Bangladesh is now another victim of the USAID-Clinton Regime Change Complex, a machine that has toppled governments and sacrificed entire communities at the altar of American hegemony.
This isn’t just a tragedy—it’s a crime against humanity.
Propaganda and Subversive Web of USAID-funded Internews
Wikileaks presented an expose on how USAID funded news outlets and NGOs worldwide via a secretive organization called Internews. USAID funneled over half a billion funds for push propaganda that could enable its subversion worldwide.
Interesting - over half a billion for a shady news network?
Internews works with many partners, sympathizers and activists. A web of intrigue, subversion, and fake news dressed up as fact-checked verity. All funded, of course, by USAID.
The history page of Internews mentions how Internews started focusing on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union territories in 1990. Also, Internews worked closely with the Soros Foundation to run the "Balkan Media Network," working with hundreds of media organizations in Balkan countries.
Just remember that the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991.
On December 25, 1991, the Soviet hammer and sickle flag lowered for the last time over the Kremlin, thereafter replaced by the Russian tricolor. Earlier in the day, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned his post as president of the Soviet Union, leaving Boris Yeltsin as president of the newly independent Russian state. (Source:The Collapse of the Soviet Union/ Office of the Historian US State)
From that very time, the takeover of the ex-Soviet territories had been planned. With George Soros and USAID in the lead.
Here is the interesting thing - not only did Internews focus on Eastern Europe and ex-Soviet countries in the beginning of 1990, but so did Soros (close partner of Internews in that region).
Remember, Soros had backed Donald Lu to orchestrate regime change operations that suit the cabal, which has Soros at its core, in Albania specifically and the Balkans in general.
He was the guy who orchestrated things in Albania as well to install a government that had blood on its hands.
But Albania was not the only country in Europe that Soros subverted. You see, George Soros has been trying to undermine the people and the governments he hates for a long time.
Not just the color revolutions in the ex-Soviet countries but Soros has been investing millions in increasing his influence in the Balkan states since 1993!
The web of secretive propaganda tools for subversion activities around the world necessarily involved media properties that combined with disinformation normalizing "fact-checkers" constructed the perfect foil for regime change operations.
Global Fascism and Censorship Complex funded by USAID
At the World Economic Forum’s elite echo chamber, Jeanne Bourgault, CEO of USAID-funded Internews, brazenly pushed for a global advertising "exclusion list"—a thinly veiled censorship weapon against platforms that refuse to toe the establishment line.
0:00
/0:27
"Disinformation makes money. We need to follow that money. We need to work with the global advertising industry because a lot of those dollars go to pretty bad content," Bourgault declared, openly advocating for financial strangulation of dissenting voices. "You can work really hard on exclusion lists or inclusion lists and really try to challenge the global advertising industry to focus their ad dollars towards the good news."
Translation? Shut down independent media by starving it of ad revenue, while funneling billions to corporate press mouthpieces that obediently parrot the regime’s narratives.
Her chilling call for a global ad blacklist came as major corporations launched a coordinated advertising boycott against Elon Musk’s 𝕏, the only platform still standing in defense of free speech.
The deeper story? USAID as we now know was funneling nearly half a billion dollars ($472M) into Internews, turning it into a state-sponsored censorship enforcer, while also lavishing $68 million on the WEF, where these same globalists plot total control over digital discourse.
You see, this was never about fighting “disinformation.”
It was about crushing dissent against subversion and regime change operations to take over countries and societies by a band of non-state actors and monopolizing the flow of information.
All done with American tax dollars.
Let us take one case study that showcases how the "reality or fact checkers" and the curiously titled "Disinformation" champions discredit any view/s that are contrary to their own.
All because one nation wanted to establish peace in Kashmir while countering a terror web controlled and executed by a rogue nation called Pakistan that had resulted in a Hindu Genocide there. Read this:
USAID Funded Web of Propaganda to Normalize Pakistan's Terror and Discredit Indian Voice
In March 2022, Internews shared this video of BBC's Shruti Menon, who ran the program Reality Check. Who is she, and how does she fit into this USAID-funded web of propaganda campaigns?
In December 2020, she ran an "expose" on BBC, which regurgitated a campaign intriguingly titled EUDisinfolab about a "network of media sites" that "along with ANI" (ANI is a news aggregator in India) apparently in their eyes, ran disinformation and misinformation that - get this! - was trying to "discredit Pakistan internationally."
I am not making this up.
EU "fact checker" and BBC batting for a rogue and terrorism-backing nation and its establishment in Pakistan and terming anything said in the media to counter its terror activities as "disinformation".
Yale Global Online played up that story as did other media outlets. All done with a specific display of histrionics that combined a thriller-type rhetoric with an air of practiced outrage that has a sense of superior righteousness.
Just check the language, the content, the topics, and the treatment.
Al Jazeera then ran this story as well and repeated the EU DIsinfolab's propaganda based on an apologist position for Pakistan's terror bosses on the so-called expose of a "group of fake media outlets" run by Srivastava Group. Notice the kind of stories run on Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera further goes ahead and shares the views of Imran Khan as the verified truth and the words of a victim.. of "Indian extremism and disinformation". Disinformation about what? Pakistan's terror activities!
A set of media properties owned by a corporation and an Indian news aggregator - do not go by the line set by an oligarchy of media hounds (media outlets, so-called fact-checkers that posit any opposition to Pakistan's terror ways as disinformation and fake news, and a web of political "charitable" organizations like the Clinton Foundation etc) are subject to ridicule and outright hostile campaign.
Now remember that Carl Bernstein, a leading US journalist who left the Washington Post in 1977, had shared the names of media organizations that have worked closely with the CIA and their missions in his piece published in Rolling Stone on October 20, 1977.
Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were Williarn Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Tirne Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the LouisviIle Courier‑Journal, and James Copley of the Copley News Service. Otherorganizations which cooperated with the CIA includetheAmerican Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps‑Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, the Miami Herald and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald‑Tribune. By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.(Source)
As you can see, it is the who's who of the international media. Including Reuters and Associated Press - the global news aggregators.
So why would the global media oligarchic hounds go after any Indian news/opinion that opposes Pakistan and its terror activities at that specific time - i.e. 2020?
India had revoked Article 370 on August 5th, 2019, and it took away the leverage that Western establishments had for sowing anarchy in India.
That had led to a vigorous campaign against India and Modi to bring his government down or at least discredit the Indian government.
With this, let us go to another direct involvement of USAID in funding and backing of terror attacks.
USAID: America’s Global Influence Machine and Its Links to Pakistani Terror Networks
USAID is not just an aid agency—it is Washington’s most powerful geopolitical weapon. Over half of all U.S. international funding is funneled through USAID, giving it an enormous influence in global affairs, regime change operations, and strategic funding of entities aligned with American interests. However, despite clear intelligence warnings and global counterterrorism commitments, USAID ended up financing one of the most dangerous terror groups in South Asia—the Pakistan-based Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a front for Hafiz Saeed’s Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
How USAID Ended Up Funding Terrorism
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is one of the most notorious Pakistan-based terrorist organizations responsible for some of the most brutal attacks in India, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Its charitable front, Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), was designated as a terrorist entity by the U.S. government, yet somehow, USAID ended up funneling American taxpayer dollars into its operations.
This is where the double game of U.S. foreign policy becomes evident—on paper, Washington designates terrorist organizations as banned entities, but through USAID and other shadowy funding mechanisms, these same groups often receive financial support under the guise of humanitarian aid.
Despite being officially banned, LeT and its affiliates have consistently found ways to access international funds, thanks to American “aid” programs. The funding of FIF via USAID raises serious questions:
Did the U.S. government knowingly fund a terrorist-linked entity, or was this an intelligence failure?
If USAID had access to counterterrorism red flags, why did funding continue?
How many other terror-linked organizations have received funds through USAID under the guise of charity?
The revelation that a U.S. government agency financially backed an organization linked to the Mumbai terror attacks—despite its ban—exposes a pattern of complicity and reckless funding.
How Samantha Powers focuses on India for Subversion
First, it is very interesting that Samantha Power, known as a regime change expert, has been the head of USAID.
Samantha Power, one of the most notorious U.S. regime change architects, has been actively engaging with Rahul Gandhi, a political figure who has increasingly aligned himself with Western-backed narratives to destabilize India’s political landscape.
Given Power’s track record—from orchestrating the Libya intervention to supporting “pro-democracy” movements that led to chaos and conflict—her involvement with Gandhi signals a well-coordinated effort to sow internal discord within India.
As the head of USAID, Power wields immense influence in funding and supporting groups that align with U.S. geopolitical interests. Her work has consistently followed a pattern:
Fund opposition and activist networks under the guise of democracy promotion.
Use media, NGOs, and civil society groups to delegitimize elected governments.
Spark internal conflicts and economic instability to create conditions for “intervention.”
Prop up compromised political figures who will align with U.S. strategic goals.
Power’s role in destabilizing governments across the Middle East, Latin America, and Eastern Europe has been extensively documented. The same blueprint is now being repurposed for India, with Rahul Gandhi serving as a useful proxy.
This map shows the areas and the countries where USAID funds are given.
The archived data from ForeignAssistance.gov provides a comprehensive overview of U.S. foreign aid allocations managed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As it shows, USAID managed over $51 billion in obligations, with significant funding directed toward specific countries and sectors.
This chart beautifully shows the original funding agencies and the managing agencies that funnel money to India. See how the State Department and USAID, and even the Department of Defense send money to India. Why? What interest do the US Defense Department and the State Department have in India?
Next, look at the largest recipients of FCRA contributions over the years. We have details only from a decade back. In recent years, some of these organizations have lost their FCRA registrations.
The obvious question is - was USAID funding the demographic engineering of the Indian population via conversions?
The subversion by USAID was apparent through its proxy called OCCRP during the Hindenberg hit job.
USAID, OCCRP, and the Coordinated Attacks on India: A Geopolitical Information War
On February 3rd, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) went on the offensive, attacking Elon Musk for merely questioning why USAID was funding the organization. The controversy erupted after Musk amplified Mike Benz’s exposé, highlighting how USAID has been covertly funding OCCRP to manipulate narratives under the guise of investigative journalism.
What is OCCRP, and Why Does USAID Fund It?
OCCRP claims to be a journalistic watchdog, yet its funding streams reveal a clear bias—it is heavily supported by USAID, Open Society Foundations (George Soros), and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), all of which have long histories of backing regime change operations, destabilizing governments, and controlling global narratives.
USAID masquerades as a humanitarian organization, but its funding of OCCRP proves otherwise. By bankrolling OCCRP, USAID ensures that its so-called “investigative journalism” targets governments and institutions that refuse to align with Western geopolitical interests.
OCCRP’s Attacks on India: A Pattern of Subversion
India has increasingly become a prime target of OCCRP’s narratives, conveniently aligning with USAID’s strategic goals. The same USAID that funds OCCRP has also:
Channeled millions into evangelical organizations in India to push aggressive religious conversions under the FCRA framework.
Funded a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) front organization, despite LeT’s role in deadly terror attacks on Indian soil.
Orchestrated political subversion in Bangladesh, leading to targeted Hindu genocide.
This pattern suggests a coordinated effort to weaken India from multiple angles—religiously, politically, and economically.
OCCRP’s Role in the Global Information War
The attack on Elon Musk proves that OCCRP is not just about journalism—it is an information warfare tool. Musk had simply amplified valid concerns: Why is USAID, an arm of the U.S. government, funding OCCRP, and why does it have an interest in shaping narratives in foreign nations?
Instead of responding transparently, OCCRP deflected with a misleading counterattack, trying to frame Musk as an opponent of the “free press” while ignoring the real issue—its deep financial ties to the U.S. government.
The Bigger Picture: USAID and OCCRP as Geopolitical Weapons
The USAID-OCCRP nexus is part of a broader strategy: to undermine governments, destabilize societies, and create narratives that serve Western interests. Whether it's targeting India, attacking Elon Musk, or meddling in Ukraine, these organizations operate as extensions of a global influence network, not as independent journalistic entities.
USAID: The Engine of Religious and Political Subversion in India and Beyond
USAID has been funneling millions into evangelical organizations in India—the very groups that receive the largest funding through FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act)—with the clear objective of fueling mass conversions and destabilizing India's cultural fabric.
At the same time, this "aid agency" was bankrolling a front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—a globally designated terror group responsible for some of the deadliest attacks on Indian soil.
And if that wasn't enough, USAID was also orchestrating the subversion of Bangladesh, using its vast financial networks to engineer regime change that ultimately triggered a Hindu genocide.
When you connect the dots, the picture is clear: USAID isn’t about aid. It’s about dismantling Indian society from within—through religious conversions, terror funding, and geopolitical sabotage. This is not just meddling—it’s a full-scale assault on India’s sovereignty.
