Authoritarian Regimes around the World Soliciting Musk for Information on USAID Personnel for Persecution while Cheering its Dissolution


Recommended Posts

18 hours ago  Authoritarian leaders around the world have welcomed Musk's purge of USAid, an organisation they have long derided as a vehicle of American ...

 

6 days ago  Elon Musk-led razing of US foreign aid agency led strong-arm rulers in Hungary, Belarus and elsewhere to celebrate.

 

Musk's actions serve as a potent reminder that Big Tech companies, and not just states, are active players in transnational repression across the globe.

“Cutting government spending” is such an abstract concept that does not make plain what really is at risk.

What are the concrete effects of Trump’s and Musk’s vandalism on USAID?

People are dying because funding for their oxygen has been cut off

Nearly $500 million in food could go to waste

Global health will be severely affected:

Programs for nutrition, hygiene, toilets and access to clean water (which have a massive impact on TB and diarrheal diseases) have been impacted

TB clinics have been put at risk

HIV care, treatment and prevention to vulnerable children, have been suspended

Crucial international clinical drug trials have their funds frozen

 

It will take a massive, concentrated effort to repair the damage done to the US global reputation.

Yes, China and Russia are watching.

Rubio has claimed that the cut funding for children dying of starvation has been rescinded, but everyone has forgotten to release the checks. 🤮

Why? 

Because all government spending is sacrosanct...In their mind.

The Rules for Liberal tactics:

  1. If they can't refute the content, attack the source.
  2. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster.
  3. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened.
  4. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler.
  5. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition.
  6. If they are wrong, blame the opponent.
  7. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa.
  8. If all else fails, just be angry.

To punish him for treason where it counts.

How is it treason? He won an election with the popular vote and ran on a platform of cutting spending and getting it under control.

If men wanna dress up like women and prance around in a parade, that's fine. Just use your own money to do so.

Musk didn’t stand in any election. If he wants to play at politician now, let him suffer the market consequences of disapproval outside the MAGA mob.

Musk is appointed to an already existing agency created under the obama administration that was just renamed.

Musk didn't win any elections. He bought Trump's election.

You don't know ANYTHING about our government paying for crossdressers, because Musk has presented NO EVIDENCE for his LIES about everything.

You were provided a reputable source but fail to acknowledge the facts. Sad

I'm not surprised that Democrats are trying to block any sort of financial accountability. They are perfectly fine with tax dollars going to fund nonsense like drag story hours while the average person struggles to put food on the table. 

The judges blocking the necessary financial reforms are quite vile

Not surprised Canadian Brownshirts are supporting this.

The will rant and rave about Covid restrictions yet support any of Trump and Musks abuses.

It's because I'm against covid restrictions that I'm for this. 

I would love for the details of the contracts between our government and the vax manufactures to be made public. 

I would also like to know how much of our data we think is going to government is actually going to private businesses in P3 type arrangements.

He's exposing the left wing hypocrisy. 

They have no problem shuttling private info to private companies provided it goes to benefit the Democrats and their big donors.

This is just chickenshit.

Even you knew this was coming. Trump told the world what he had planned. America voted for it.

Libbies...I'd suggest you get outta the way, if you don't want to get steamrolled.
