Rubio Exposes Leftist Agenda and Corruption of USAID Programs

A story about how eight cholera people in South Sudan, including five children, died while attempting to get treatment next month is being covered in the mainstream media right now. The United Kingdom-based donation Save the Children blames the trimming of USAID money, though a spokeswoman mentions that Western countries have also cut money. ( Of course, the MSM stories don’t explain that, of course. ) &nbsp,

It’s definitely heartbreaking that individuals are dying from a preventable disease and I wish that wasn’t so, but the MSM’s attempt at blaming the Donald Trump administration are absurd, and quite frankly, I’m tired of it. It’s the same kind of BS as illegal immigration, giving the impression that Trump is just deporting mothers and nurses from some of the world’s most violent and insane people. &nbsp,

The truth is that the responsible doesn’t rest with Trump. People who presided over our nation lies to him. It is brought on by crooked government officials, ambassadors with objectives, and the numerous dishonest nonprofits around the world. It lies with, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio usually puts it, the “federal support professional complex”. And it’s time to quit using American tax money as an ATM to squander money from everyone else. &nbsp,

News reports that a State Department” spokesperson said several U. S. state plans remained active but medical resources had also been used to expand the country’s frontrunners”. According to Reuters,” South Sudan’s government has acknowledged a considerable level of public problem.” ( And I’m not attribution crediting News because it covered everything under the headline” South Sudan cholera individuals died walking to doctor after US cut support, donation says. )

Rubio appeared on Donald Trump, Jr.’s audio” Triggered with Don Jr”. on Tuesday night, and the two men detourned into this crucial subject of international support and the adjustments that will follow. Rubio remarked that the United States is no longer the nation’s cash cow. We’re also willing to help, but we’re taking care of ourselves second. From now on, every dollar we spend on foreign help has “make America stronger, it may make America more productive, or it may produce America safer.” &nbsp,

He basically pointed out that there may be many great causes out there that don’t necessarily do those things, but U. S. taxpayers aren’t a charity. However, there are numerous charities that can assist all over the world. He specifically criticized the Gates Foundation, but I believe it is too busy making meat from bugs and purchasing farmland.

And that’s something I truly don’t understand. Why must our federal government be responsible for everything? Why do we demand payment for things that don’t affect people’s lives and don’t affect them? There’s a whole big private sector out there with lots of money to be donated to this cause and that one. Although I’m all for helping others, I don’t think it should be required of them. Many on the left would do well to step away from their anti-Trump social media platforms and stop performing pointless performative protests on the weekends. Instead, go out and volunteer and actually help. But I digress.

Rubio’s quote reads,” Every Time I Find One of These Lunatics, I Take Away Their Visa.”

Rubio did, however, point out that one of the issues with our foreign aid when he became Secretary was that” we turned it into a tool to export our domestic policies of the far left.” He added,” So the far left decided these are things that we think are good and it also became cultural imperialism. We started using foreign aid as a means of imposing the left’s domestic political agenda on foreign nations rather than as a way to make America stronger, safer, and more prosperous. and it evolved into a means of doing that. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Next, he explained that the nongovernmental organizations ( NGOs ) that oversee many of our foreign aid programs and other middle men are essentially filling their pockets so that the recipients of the money aren’t getting the majority of it. And that’s why the State Department has intervened and is conducting an evaluation of these initiatives. &nbsp,

What I call the foreign aid industrial complex is what I believe the third thing that developed over time. And I’m referring to dozens and dozens of these non-governmental organizations, these NGOs, that were making hundreds of millions of dollars to run these programs on behalf of the U.S. government. &nbsp, And it came out – and this is not me, Samantha Power would have said this – you have to spend – in order to get$ 12 million to people directly, you have to spend$ 100 million. You must spend$ 100 million to receive 12 million directly from the NGO, the subcontractor, the sub-sub, and the sub-sub-sub. And you’re paying Hamas to distribute food or whatever, right away. &nbsp, And that has to stop and that has to end.

So we conducted a review of 6, 000 programs at USAID, or almost 6, 000 programs. We identified close to 900 things that we will continue to do, either in their current form or as they are being revised. &nbsp, We canceled 5, 000-some of those contracts, and now the goal is to bring all of those programs under the State Department so that we can directly review – because remember, USAID was separate from the State Department. They basically did whatever they wanted.

Make sure you read Rubio’s book,” We’re Not Doing Idiotic Things Anymore.”

At the end, Rubio explained that the State Department is realigning how the U. S. will handle foreign aid going forward. Instead of paying others to enter and advance their agendas while becoming wealthy doing so, we’re going to help countries with what they truly need. He explained this through his recent travels to the Caribbean:

… I just came back from a trip to the Caribbean where I went to Jamaica, I went to Guyana, and I went to Suriname – the Caribbean Basin. And their top complaint is that USAID-funded NGOs didn’t collaborate with the government…

By the way, this is not really understood. &nbsp, There’s always been tension between State Department and USAID, because there’s some ambassador that’s like, okay, I’m trying to get – we’re trying to get good relations. The United States has good relations with its leader, according to its foreign policy. And then USAID, which operates out of their embassy, is, say, funding the political opposition of that leader…

But in the case of the Caribbean, it’s like, okay, they want to spend all this money on these literacy programs out in the countryside – which we’re not against as a government – we’re fine with that. The issue is that we can’t even get to those schools, and kids can’t even go to school, until we can first, say, get rid of the gangs that are threatening kids from attending. So our top priority is that if you want to assist us, please give it to us. Don’t help us with what you want, which is to get into these rural schools, where now you start indoctrinating people on the social priorities of the far left in the United States. It’s a component of that exporting.

So we’re going to realign foreign aid, so we’re actually going to be assisting nations with what they typically need. &nbsp, And a lot of these countries, it’s security assistance. &nbsp,

Rubio ultimately emphasized the most crucial aspect: Foreign aid should be stopped once it fulfills its purpose. It shouldn’t be ongoing. &nbsp,

The best foreign aid is foreign aid that ultimately comes to an end because it succeeds because you enter, you assist someone, they expand their capabilities, and they now have the ability to handle it themselves, and they no longer require foreign aid. That’s what foreign aid should be geared towards, not perpetual – these programs exist for 25 years. If a 25-year-old foreign aid program hasn’t served its purpose because it hasn’t solved the issue, what is wrong?
