You don't wake people pretending to be asleep. We are talking about people more upset Elon Musk is exposing USAID theft than the actual fraud and crime itself

That's like someone angry at CCTV camera instead of the bank robber

She was truly a airhead DEI candidate through and through
I've been trying to get my head around the USAID issues for a while and my conclusion is that most of these payment tags we see are cover ups for the promotion of US interests in certain countries.

I don't think it is legal to put the right things in there because of the illegality of some of these promotions. Take something like this, you see that they wrote the correct thing there and what you'd have been seeing are: payment for staffs illegally drilling oil in so and so country or payment for our assets in Vietnam or our contractors for "whatever secret trades of certain rare minerals" in the middle East.

We have to look holistically at this and not get triggered to tag these things before getting the true issue these payments were disbursed for.

You know the US are running some very lucrative illegal trades or mining in some of these destabilised countries and these could be their payment methods.

Imagine the world seeing, payment for illegal mining of minerals in Nigeria or Djibouti or mobilization fee for illegal drilling in Syria or others.

Also, most of those so-called terrorists in the media are CIA assets who the US use to control important resources in their domains. How do you label a payment to such person that wouldn't have caused another "Snowdon's" level of outrage worldwide?

I think this agency called DOGE have rookies that do not understand clandestine operations, especially political ones or Elon and co do but they do not care. Either way, it is so bad for America because how do you expect to get the next shipments of raw solid and rare earth minerals from illegal miners in Iraq when you haven't sent the next payment to your warlord connect?

These guys will just move their business elsewhere and have others fill in for them. Black market brokers would be licking their hands right now that Trump is pushing on things like these.

Make we just they see how China go enjoy this move wella.

How did Hamas come to power?
They won 74 seats out of 132 seats in Gaza.
Then violently kicked Fatah out. They executed captured Fatah members.
Majority of Palestinians were very happy with that.

I have expressed my reasons for supporting Trump. They have nothing to do with whatever my net pay package is.
He only needs to hear that basilico has supported him through thick and thin from day one and he'll no doubt offer me a job with back payment.
I have 14000 posts here that each took 1 hour each to research. That's $700,000 at $50 an hour.Add compensation for your insults and the figure can go to $1 -2 million. Then I'd still have a 6 figure job.Plus $50 extra every day to post here bashing liberals.
Moral of the story. Always look at the bright side of life.

On a serious note , I think there are enough crazy Nigerians who would attempt to monetize my basilico handle.
I know people who can do anything to make money.
I'm just happy Trump won after I'd been vilified 24/7 by very many liberals here . Money can't buy that satisfaction.
I kinda think I'm very civil, I don't wake up n the morning insulting Kamala supporters. Or pissing on their threads like gambojimeta.

we are Nigerians - so we know exactly what is going down here . This is team trump playing BPE and selling assets to cronies on the cheap.

putin is telegraphing exactly what happened in russia in the 90s.

the only thing missing is the anecdote of a drunken [maybe in this case high on aderall] trump running around naked on the streets of moscow.
Office space is already going cheap.

Can't seem to get enough of lawfare getting the middle finger.
President expected to get personal belongings back from DOJ that were seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago – including birthday cards, golf shirts and a photo of Celine Dion

Pam Bondi is expected to issue a memo to authorize a scrutiny of Trump cases including the New York cases.

In the Mar a Lago case Kash Patel in an interview with Tucker Carlson had said the reason FBI raided Melania's closet was to look for documents that touched on their Spygate investigation. Documents that showed how FBI concieved and carried out the crooked Russia Spygate investigation.
Kash Patel , they are dragging their feet confirming him So the FBI grabbed documents compiled by Kash Patel because they were "classified".

I'm loving every minute of this. Many obviously want to know exactly who organized the efforts to break Trump and put him away for life.

You don't know what is being exposed.
All you know is what Elon Musk puts on his Instagram account.
There can be fraud, but no one knows that.
That's the problem with where we are today.
People take everything for verified fact, without any verification or facts.

Elon also said 40 million dollars went to Hamas for condoms. That was a lie.

SEATTLE — A Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a parked Delta Air Lines plane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on Wednesday morning.

throughout last year russia was fking with GPS in europe

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cne900k4wvjo
2 May 2024 — Experts say Russia has been jamming GPS signals in certain European regions, leading to disruption for civilian aircraft.
they also started setting off fires on cargo planes

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07912lxx33o

Mystery parcel fires were 'test runs' to target cargo flights ...
5 Nov 2024 — The attacks targeted couriers in Poland, Germany and the UK, Polish prosecutors say.
this is a time when numerous agencies should get together and figure out exactly what is happening - but since we have agencies being gutted, a focus on 'competent' white men, tech bros who have no idea of government actually works attempting to 'disrupt' complex systems, we can only sit back and watch it happen.

Most people in those rural Virginia areas overwhelmingly vote red.

They did this to their healthcare system because they thought they were voting against others. I hope their master Trump listens to the judge who blocked his executive order and gives them back access to healthcare.

That's a rookie question.

The IC get black budgets for a reason.
They would reroute the payments through that, if these are valid essentials.

Otherwise, AFUERA!

Brother, you know how certain clandestine operations are carried out right? There are some bogus names for things like that. In this case, what if the names seem foolish but have a very important role they play in order to avoid another scandal and to get the US what they need.

I know.

If it is important, it'll be routed to the black budget.
Cutting USAID will not lead to the kind of outcomes you outlined in your earlier comment.

DOGE staff may be young, but the IC has been around the block.
Part of USAID was absorbed into the State Department to maintain some of those stuff you highlighted.

So what names should they give to those operations in the books? Because accountability must be made so there's a name that would be placed there. You want them to write "payment for illegal mining or to warlords for security in the middle East"?

Something like this would still come up if they put it under any other agency because their purposes can never be stated expressly.
