DOGE Executes Mass Firings at U.S. Institute of Peace: ‘Failed to Deliver Peace’

Katherine Hamilton 29 Mar 2025

Mass firings took place at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) on Friday, several sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The employees were terminated effective immediately as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) whole-of-government effort to slash wasteful spending. USIP employees told The Washington Post that between 200 and 300 people had been fired, which is nearly all of the institute’s headquarters staff.

The reported firings come after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February aimed at dismantling the USIP, which is a congressionally funded organization. The Trump administration has been working to freeze the organization’s funding and replace its board.

USIP was created by Congress in 1984 under former President Ronald Reagan and was formally established as “an independent, nonprofit corporation,” according to CBS News. The USIP has a $55 million budget and a purported mission to promote conflict resolution and prevent conflict across the globe.

“Taxpayers don’t want to spend $50 million per year on a publicly-funded ‘research institute’ that has failed to deliver peace,” White House press deputy secretary Anna Kelly told the outlet on Saturday.

“President Trump ended the era of forever wars and established peace in his first term, and he is carrying out his mandate to eliminate bloat and save taxpayer dollars,” Kelly continued.

Fired employees were notified of their termination by email for a USIP email address, according to the report.

DOGE: The DOGE team fought for days to gain access to the United States Institute of Peace. Eventually, with help from the FBI and Metro Police DOGE was able to access the agency and discovered massive fraud, waste and abuse-including payments to Taliban and Iraq.

Peace sells, but who's buying?

USIP was created by Congress in 1984

If Congress created it, it might take an act of Congress to eliminate it ... expect a judge's challenge ...

However, Musk got around that elsewhere by making the agency a mere skeleton ... keeping just 1 employee on the payroll, and gutting everybody else

You don't have to eliminate it ... just eliminate the positions, and don't fill them.  Have a ghost institute that returns unspent funds to the general treasury.  It can remain as an institute in name only.

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.

ELON: U.S. INSTITUTE OF PEACE TRIED TO DELETE TALIBAN FUNDING RECORDS—DOGE RECOVERED IT..
Elon says the U.S. Institute of Peace deleted 1TB of financial data linking them to funding Taliban and Iraqi leadership—but DOGE wasn’t fooled.

According to Elon, the agency attempted to scrub the records, but DOGE engineers recovered the entire archive thanks to “their shocking incompetence with tech.”

The data reportedly includes detailed financial transfers tied to groups in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"United States Institute of Peace"?

Of course it was full of treason, warmongering, and terrorism.

the level of corruption in our government is beyond even our imagination.
