USAID: The tip of the iceberg of corruption
"Believe it or not, this is an ABBREVIATED list of items Funded by USAID & the State Department (only 5 of the 10 pages they have put together so far). According to the White House, the following are "a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE":
$1.5 million to promote job opportunities for LGBTQ individuals in Serbia.
$70,000 to produce a DEI musical in Ireland.
$2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations in Vietnam’s largest cities.
$47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia.
$32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru.
$2 million for sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala.
$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt.
Funding to print 'personalized' contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation:
Specifically, in 2021, $110,000 to "Helping Hand for Relief and Development”, a Michigan-based charity. Lawmakers warned it had ties to terrorists, but even after USAID's inspector general began investigating, "USAID dished out another $78,000 to that same charity for a program..."
Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria
Specifically, "as much as $10 million worth of meals" meant for Syrian civil war refugees were collected by Nusra Front, "an al Qaeda-linked terrorist organization." In total 380,000 meal kits were skimmed off for the Nusra Front in what authorities called a “shocking abuse of US taxpayers’ generosity."
Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan benefiting the Taliban.
Specifically, between 2005 and 2008, USAID devoted at least $330 million in funding to failed ADP projects intended to deter farmers and traffickers from cultivating and trafficking opium but said agricultural development programs have “inadvertently fueled the cultivation of the poppy crop."
The Foreign Affairs Committee released the following further egregious examples:
$15 million for condoms to the Taliban. Of note, other terrorists (Hamas) have used condoms to create explosive devices.
$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.
$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 State Department.
$3,315,446 for being LGBTQ in the Caribbean.
$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.
$39,652 to host seminars at the Edinburgh (Scotland) International Book Festival on gender identity and racial equality through the State Department.
