USAID is an intelligence agency?.

That's the job of Inspectors Generals...

They are independent watchdogs within the US government, responsible for investigating fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in federal agencies.

They provide oversight, conduct audits, and issue reports to ensure accountability and transparency.

They just happened to be looking into Starlink contracts within USAID in Ukraine.

And it's why Trump got rid of so many of them. Oversight from independent bodies is bad now, unless it's DOGE.

Can't have post-truth if you're fact-checked or investigated by people putting duty to their country over loyalty to Trump.

That would be, without "merit".

In 2022, USAID and Starlink collaborated to provide 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine, to give the country fighting Russian invasion access to Musk's advanced internet system, operated through SpaceX, as reported by The Lever.

"In addition to another ongoing audit on direct budget support, we are examining USAID's Energy Security Project, USAID's oversight of Starlink Satellite Terminals provided to the Ukrainian government, and USAID's efforts to protect against sexual exploitation and abuse in Ukraine," Martin told Congress.

"When completed, we look forward to sharing the findings of these reports with the subcommittee."

Sooooooo.... where's Musk's turpitude?

He supports Trump.

Anybody who is in any position of power who supports trump should be investigated for corruption, after all trump has always been the single most corrupt president the US has ever had.

I know, dear, but consider how this money was spent. $20,600 of taxpayer funds spent on a drag show in Ecuador. Can you imagine? Children could have witnessed such an act. Consider the impact upon such young, impressional minds, it's depraved.

Worse, Elon discovered $25,000 spent on a transvestite opera in Bogota - vile American homosexuals exporting their lifestyle to the faithful Catholic people of Columbia.

"…A daring, moving, troubling and ultimately hopeful work, sometimes all at once, about the trials and triumphs of a transgender woman. And its 16 songs, performed over the course of three acts, couldn’t be more timely" - San Diego Union Tribune.

Deplorable. It just keeps going: $32,000 spent on a comic book in Peru. This alone would be a cause of alarm, but a comic promoting the hommersexual lifestyle with a so-called "LGBTQ+ hero to address social and mental health issues?"

This sort of behaviour creates mental health issues, it's disgusting. Elon must have been appalled. Going over the books must have felt like he was exposed to a crime scene. He could have experienced vicarious trauma over this.

It makes perfect sense that Elon would cut all USAID for the foreseeable future. Enough's enough, he must have thought. If these funds aren't stopped, how many more young minds will be exposed to the depravity of USAID?

Look, the sensible thing to do in future would be for the State Department to pay for foreign spending. Do you think they'd spend $77,600 on drag shows, transvestite operas and ridiculous gay comic books?

I think not. We know the leftards will come up with all sorts of lies to defend their crimes, but I hope Elon sticks to his guns. I think we should allow him to get on with the job he was elected to do.

You?

Correct.

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: Inspection of USAID's Oversight of Starlink Terminals Provided to the Government of Ukraine

The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine.

Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

________________________________________________

The U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Inspector General was established on December 16, 1980, by Public Law 96-533, an amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

On December 29, 1981, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 brought the USAID Inspector General under the purview of the Inspector General Act of 1978.

Our office oversees the programs and operations of four U.S. foreign assistance agencies:

USAID

MCC

USADF

IAF
