 USAID activists say stopping 'corporate welfare' outweighs ending funds to terror-linked groups
Opinion by Aubrie Spady, Emma Woodhead • 18h

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Protesters rallying against the sweep of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) say that ending "corporate welfare" should be prioritized over looking at money being reportedly funneled to terror-linked groups.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been conducting a review of "waste" identified within USAID, the government agency that handles the distribution of foreign aid.
 
According to an analysis by the Middle East Forum, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the USAID and State Department have funneled at least $122 million to groups aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters. A White House report also identified $15 million of taxpayer dollars being spent on condoms for the Taliban, a known terrorist group.

On Wednesday, Fox News Digital asked individuals protesting the USAID cuts outside the U.S. Capitol their thoughts about the agency reportedly funding terrorist-aligned groups.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I always preferred’ may a thousand pregnant fleas from a thousand pregnant camels infest your pubic hairs’.

I don’t get these fools, they think it’s an either o proposition, there is no reason why we can’t defund their terrorist darlings and stop corporate welfare to socialist corporate media.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

That would be a nice start.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Both sides know condoms were not being purchased with that money. It was money laundering pure and simple.

Nobody's paying much attention to these "protesters" right now.
Let's hope that continues for a while.

Particularly if Mr. Trump can "keep the hits coming..."

What corporate welfare? They're always whining about it, but never provide particulars.

Isn't it fair to say corporations like Pfizer profited greatly from Biden administration policies and actions?
