New York Times conceals the corruption of USAID, an agency long known to be a CIA front organization.

For decades it has been understood in foreign policy circles that USAID is a CIA front organization that is involved in all kinds of unsupervised machinations all over the world. A 2014 report in Foreign Policy magazine presented a good overview of this reality.

With Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) opening up USAID’s books to scrutiny, the scope of the agency’s allocation of billions of taxpayer money to all manner of dodgy recipients all over the world is coming to light. Especially shocking has been the revelation that millions of USAID—i.e., CIA directed money flowed to U.S. media outfits such as Politico, Bloomberg, and the New York Times.

Just for kicks this morning, I checked the New York Times coverage of this story and beheld what I am calling the Spin of the Century. In a series of reports and updates, the Times is spinning the story as Big Bad Trump depriving the poor and needy of U.S. charity, as evidenced by the photo illustration below from the the paper’s most recent update.




Naturally none of the reporting mentions that the New York Times received $2 million in USAID funds through “U.S. government subscriptions”in the year 2024 alone. This was revealed in a TIME magazine report:

"The New York Times said it earned less than $2 million last year through government subscriptions, which are offered at a discounted rate. Through one arrangement, the Times gives access to more than 1 million active and retired military members and their families."

Only $2 million in one year!

Keep up the damage control boys! At least your low-information zombie readers will believe it.

What the public, including you readers, may not appreciate is how much planning went on over the past year to mount the DOGE effort, and how comprehensively the work of its many hundreds of computer techies (not just six whiz-kids) has laid bare the money-trails out of previously impenetrable government computers. Their algorithms have pierced the firewalls, revealing decades of fraud and deceit. ...

Keep getting better and better. Chelsea at GITMO. That sounds like a nice Satan's supper. Parents are pretty old, but Chelsea and her Soros spawn hubbie have a bright, long future as inmates.

Why is "luxury" misspelled in the last line?

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives. The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN. Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at http://archive.org/

Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted. IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows).
