USAID's dirty laundry in the air... but not all of it...

What will happen to the USAID? Will the organization that for so many years helped to sweep the miseries of the U.S. government under the carpet disappear?

The reason for this uncertainty lies in the fact that, until just a few months ago, the veteran entity, with tentacles spread all over the world, occupied a privileged position in Washington's foreign policy. It was the perfect front for dark financing, plots and coups d'état.

Nothing seemed to affect its stability, much less the jobs of thousands of officials and contractors around the world, and within the United States, who lived off the Agency's generous budgets.

However, in a matter of hours, with the arrival of Donald Trump, the faucet through which millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars flowed was turned off.

A crushing blow was the recent announcement, from the Oval Office in Washington, of the elimination of 1,600 U.S.-based positions, and the placing on administrative leave of almost all other overseas employees.

According to AP, this comes after a federal judge allowed the government to move forward with its initiative to lay off thousands of the organization's employees in the U.S. and other countries.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of this pruning process is that some of its dirty laundry has begun to be revealed. Not all of them, of course, to prevent the dirty water from splashing on too many people.

The information unveiled a few days ago, according to which the Agency regularly channeled funds to causes linked to George Soros' “non-profit” empire, is very interesting.

For example, U.S. government spending records show that the East-West Management Institute, backed in part by Soros' Open Society Foundations, received more than $260 million in grants from USAID to promote the rule of law in Georgia, according to the U.S. website Just the News.

Other Soros-linked organizations received funding, including the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Center and Transparency International. The links to Ukrainian neo-Nazis extend to the Maidan events in Kiev in 2014.

Is Mr. Soros not a great philanthropist? Well, no, nor does he put his millions at the service of the “just causes” of humanity, as he touts. The money does not come out of his pocket.

Truths unknown to most people, denounced on more than one occasion by the governments of Cuba and Venezuela, have come to light.

In conclusion, what is happening in the U.S. reflects the great internal contradictions that are eating away at the system. The attempt at “readjustment” generates earthquakes and aftershocks of unpredictable consequences, and since the world is not the same, either they adapt or they remain in the past.
