not getting an HIV vaccine. Unfathomable evil to package both of those things into one organization but that's the nature of the American state

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

USAID is a land of contrasts.

One of the reasons it was so beneficial to US interests is due to the fact to give people very beneficial stuff like access to medical care and food. People tend to like it when you give them stuff and are likely going to want to be your friend.

One of my PSWs is from Rwanda and we got to talking about Paul Kagame. She had mentioned that one of the reasons he's still so popular is because his government instituted a school meal program. Giving people shit is extremely useful for maintaining power.

Top gaslighters like Samantha Power were put in charge of U SAID. It is very similar to billionaire charity projects: imperialism with a human face

The number of times I've seen people having issues with organizations that I also have issues with for completely the wrong reasons is madness-inducing

I legit think either CIA has moved on to greener pastures of running crypto conferences or it is now completely toothless, no other way to explain why elonazi's skull isn't pulverized yet

They almost certainly have some spooks embedded in it as an intel gathering mechanism, but USAID basically owes its existence to congress liking the concept of exercising economic power via foreign aid, but being really pissed off at the CIA for doing it behind their backs.

So I think administratively there isn't much cooperation between the two, and like most departments, the two are more likely to butt heads than get along when one sticks its nose in the other's business.

It's a bit like the Peace Corps absolutely being another soft power thing, but the people actually running it want by and large fucking hate the CIA, both because they genuinely want to do good, and because the CIA tries to poach talent from them and is generally a terrible neighbor.

I hope USAID employees follow the example of UNRWA and simply continue their mission with a big ol middle finger to the government
