From Tuomas Malinen on Geopolitics and the Economy.
My main field of research in Economics was economic growth. I wrote my Master and PhD Theses on the relationship between income inequality and economic growth. The title of my PhD Thesis was: Income inequality in the process of economic development. In total, I studied economic growth and economic development for 15 years (and economic crises for a decade) in the academia.
I naturally went through quite a lot of research dealing with development aid. The research on how foreign aid affects economic growth tends to be inconclusive still, but a rather strong consensus has emerged on foreign aid channeled from government to government fostering corruption in developing nation (see, e.g., this, this, this, this and this). This is where USAID (United States Agency for International Development) steps in. First of all, from a purely point-of-view of a development economist (by training), I am glad to see such a ‘mammoth’ of spreading corruption to developing nations to go. Yet, there’s more.
Alexander Dugin, a Russian political philosopher who’s sometimes harsh views have been criticized also in Russia, has published an excellent piece in Axos detailing the “development” programs run in the Soviet Union in comparison to that of the USAID. He writes:
The liquidation of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an event whose significance can hardly be overstated. When the Soviet Union abolished the Comintern (Third International) and later the Cominform, structures that advocated the ideological interests of the USSR on a global scale, it marked the beginning of the end for the international Soviet system. Although the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and the Warsaw Pact Organization existed until 1991, their demise was essentially predetermined during Khrushchev’s time.
Something similar is happening today in America, as USAID was the main operational structure for the implementation of globalist projects.
The sinister nature of USAID has now been laid bare, by the DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) set up by President Trump and run by billionaire Elon Musk. For example, U.S. Senator John Kennedy lists the projects funded by USAID, and the list is mind-boggling:
He [Elon Musk] found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world.
They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations.
According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas.
He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala.
He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica - They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia - $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal.
Moreover, I just read that President Trump’s freeze on foreign aid has halted the global operations of Jesuit Refugee Service, one of the major operators in mass immigration to Ireland and the EU.
The carnage does not even stop here. We have also learned that USAID has given money to great number of leading media-outlets and journalists, including the BBC and Politico. Yet, with Politico it should be noted that USAID was not their prime source of U.S. government funding, but that several government-linked organizations have contributed to the funding of the journal since at least 2015. Moreover, by denying all foreign aid form USAID, President Trump also cut $268 million from media outlets, reportedly, across 30 countries. The aim of some of these were to over-throw governments (see, e.g., Hungary, Ukraine and more speculative view). The USAID also funded Ukraine with considerable sums.
This is exactly how a ’shadow-government’ outreach operates. They cannot give money straight from the Treasury, because it make it look like direct government control/guidance, but they direct their funding through different government institutions, NGO’s and dummy-corporations. We are likely to be just in the first innings of discovering the pervasive role the U.S. Deep State has played in guiding the global political narrative and actions.
It truly looks that the worst (societal) conspiracy theories are coming true, in real time. But how deep can this go?
How deep is the hole?
The western world has been under series of degradation attacks for some time, but especially during the past five years. The Corona-virus outbreak, which now looks to be confirmed to have originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, set in motion a series of events clearly aimed at stripping the western populace on their constitutional rights. Most importantly, they set a dangerous precedent for future pandemics.
In the wake of the lockdowns, the moral foundations of western societies were attacked through normalizing sexual perversions (e.g., Pride), mutilation of children (e.g., the transgender surgeries of teenagers) and wide-spread attacks towards Christianity. These were, like I described in the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and there most likely is much more to come. The question we should be asking is, from where does this web of “dark payments” originate?
