It's quite likely that, sprinkled in among the idealistic helpers of the third world, were some number of CIA agents. For good or ill.
(the hatred of USAID seems to be tied into hatred of the State Department, and in turn Hilary Clinton. I'm sure someone can unravel the alleged thought process there)
- sedawkgrep 9mo agoDo you have any source for any of this?
- irl_zebra 9mo agoIf nothing else, the "Political Operations Abroad" section of USAID's wiki has some links and background.

- heisgone 9mo ago>Increasingly, he found his cover work more engaging and important than his intelligence-gathering. Your father was a great man.
- ChrisMarshallNY 9mo agoAgreed. He left the CIA, because they became something he couldn't reconcile with himself.
- pjc50 9mo agoSource for Top Secret info? No, but I'm reminded of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_in_Pakistan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_... (not USAID, a different organization)
- heisgone 9mo agoIf you don't mind listening to right-wing adjacent commentators, Mike Benz document those links extensively on his podcast. For exemple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR09YYX-3fg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR09YYX-3fg
- ImPostingOnHN 9mo agoIt's also quite likely that the reincarnations of Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Jesus are sprinkled among the same idealistic helpers. > the hatred of USAID seems to be tied into hatred of... ...foreigners, people of different races, and multiculturalism in general. There, I unraveled their primary thought process for you. Remember, we're talking about administration officials who probably couldn't spell USAID, who say immigrants "poison our blood", and who have no problem spending billions on other countries when the money goes towards hurting them instead of helping them (see: Venezuela, Iran, etc.).
- estearum 9mo agoUSAID is considered instrumental in ending Apartheid in South Africa. Given the timeline of the Musk family's arrival and departure... one might believe they viewed the end of Apartheid as a bit troublesome.
- ourmandave 9mo agoIt's how we found Osama Bin Laden. CIA posing as Doctors Without Borders going door-to-door pretending to vaccinate locals. They actually did vaccinations until they found him and then quit, leaving a bunch of people with only the first dose. And a complete distrust for Doctors Without Borders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_in_Pakistan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_...
- mrguyorama 9mo ago>It's how we found Osama Bin Laden. >The program was ultimately unsuccessful in locating Osama bin Laden. Your cite disagrees
- ourmandave 9mo agoWell, damn. Things I read before implied it worked and they'd keep committing the same f*ckery. Like vaccine denial isn't bad enough already. =[
