A Substack article claims USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment. According to the article, the House of Representatives impeached President Trump in December 2019 based on a memo written by a CIA analyst held over from the Obama White House. The memo relied heavily on a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), an organization funded by USAID. The article claims OCCRP was created as an extension of the State Department and USAID. The author asserts that USAID is about regime change abroad, a public-facing version of CIA operations. The author concludes that USAID was involved in regime change both abroad and at home, creating a predicate for Trump's impeachment.

In 2021, the special operations command, under Mark Milley, released a vision for using race riots to destabilize nations, in conjunction with the State Department, intel services, and USAID. A declassified 1983 CIA guide details how to organize riots, use agitators and professional criminals, and incite violence by turning anger into action. The CIA guide also describes recruiting teachers, doctors, attorneys, and businessmen to form cells that influence their spheres and unite to create large demonstrations. USAID's office of transition initiatives, which means government overthrow, secretly created a Cuban Twitter to stir unrest. A 2009 report warned that USAID's division for regime change mobilizes unions, boycotts, and shutdowns. A former senior analyst on Latin America for the US intelligence community stated that he couldn't get access to this secret operation being run out of USAID. According to Speaker 0, destabilizing nations using race wars and advocating for military involvement operates without oversight.

USAID, under Samantha Power, is accused of promoting a radical ideology that is anti-family and anti-life onto the developing world, essentially ideological colonization. The agency has been weaponized to attack conservative parties, not only in Brazil, but also in pro-America countries like Poland and Hungary. In Syria, USAID allegedly funneled over $15 billion to topple Bashar al-Assad, funding opposition groups and anti-government networks under the guise of humanitarian aid. During the Euro Maiden Uprising in Ukraine in 2014, USAID spent billions on civil society initiatives to destabilize the pro-Russian government, funding NGOs and media outlets to amplify anti-Yanukovych sentiment. When USAID acts in American national security interests, it is correct. However, it becomes detrimental when abused for political purposes and sponsoring anti-American ideologies. Pro-American propaganda is acceptable, but funding regimes that oppose American values should be avoided.

US Aid created a Twitter-like platform in Cuba to promote free speech during a time when Twitter was restricted. They funneled money originally meant for Pakistan to develop this service, initially using music, sports, and hurricane updates to attract users. Once they gained around 100,000 users, the platform began to push messages encouraging them to overthrow their government, aiming to replicate the Arab Spring movements in Tunisia and Egypt. This operation raises concerns about targeting US companies and the implications of such actions.

After the war on terror, counterterrorism and counterinsurgency tactics were turned against the American people following the 2016 populist revolutions. We saw the Russiagate conspiracy and efforts to censor conflicting opinions, mirroring tactics used abroad for regime change. The Hunter Biden laptop situation exemplifies proactive influence operations and the intelligence community's mobilization. USAID has been taking over independent investigative journalism in Europe and worldwide to control information. A CIA analyst's whistleblower complaint, which led to the Trump impeachment, relied on evidence from the USAID-funded OCCRP. USAID views information control holistically. The FBI weaponized the Aspen Institute to manipulate the perception of the Hunter Biden laptop. USAID is also training NGOs to demand censorship.

The discussion centers on allegations that the United States has used or could use domestic and international mechanisms to effect regime change, including through domestic unrest and foreign influence operations. Speaker 0 describes a 2021 Special Operations Command instruction manual, framed as a vision for 2021 and beyond, that purportedly contains instructions and examples on how the military could work with the State Department, intelligence services, and USAID to use race riots to destabilize nations. He points to examples labeled as part of this manual’s guidance for destabilization via combined military-government-civilian efforts. Speaker 1 lays out a model of how revolutions are allegedly structured, starting with a government at the top and support funneled through USAID, the State Department, or other administration entities. He then describes a degree of separation through privatized NGOs, including the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute, and similar organizations, with money flowing from entities such as George Soros’s Open Society Foundations through tides and government-funded NGOs like NED. He suggests money ultimately comes from the people, and that demonstrators, youth movements, a sympathetic media, and labor unions contribute to organizing protests. He outlines conditions for regime change: an unpopular incumbent, a semi-automatic regime (not fully autocratic), a united and organized opposition, the ability to quickly frame the voting results as falsified, media amplification of that falsification, an opposition capable of mobilizing thousands, and divisions among coercive forces like the military or police. He asks whether those conditions are present and implies they are. Speaker 2 cites a declassified CIA guide from 1983 aimed at training operatives to organize riots in foreign countries, including using agitators and hiring professional criminals to manipulate mass meetings, with the goal of turning general anger into violence against the regime. The guide describes creating a climate where a few hundred agitators could mobilize tens of thousands, using 200 back channels and 200 human assets to generate a 10,000–20,000 demonstration. It also notes strategies such as setting up job fairs near riots to enlist disaffected workers. He references USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), implying that “transition” is a code for regime change, and cites a 2009 congressional report warning that OTI was a foreign operation aimed at toppling governments through organized political warfare, including mobilizing unions, boycotts, and shutdowns of roads, transportation, hospitals, and schools. Fulton Armstrong’s quote is cited regarding government secrecy surrounding such operations. The speakers conclude by condemning actions conducted in the shadows, destabilizing nations using race wars to achieve political aims, and advocating that the military be involved, arguing these efforts occur without oversight.

After the War on Terror, the US and UK military's counterterrorism and counterinsurgency tactics were turned against the American people after the populist revolutions of 2016. This included efforts such as Russiagate and elaborate schemes to control the truth through censorship. The Hunter Biden laptop situation demonstrated proactive influence operations and the mobilization of the intelligence community. USAID has been overseeing a takeover of independent investigative journalism in Europe and worldwide to control information. A CIA analyst's whistleblower complaint that led to President Trump's impeachment used evidence from a USAID-funded organization, OCCRP. USAID's broader strategy includes censorship and controlling investigative journalism. USAID also uses the Aspen Institute to manipulate the media's perception, exemplified by the Hunter Biden laptop case. They train NGOs to flag misinformation secretly, and strategically leak intelligence to control news publications.

Speaker 0 describes a scandal during the Obama-era USAID operations in Cuba, stating that rogue activities were run and that the aim is to reveal to the American people where tax dollars are going and how programs are structured to fool Congress and the White House. Key points: - Zunzanillo was an online social networking microblogging service created by USAID and marketed to Cuban users. It was a Twitter-like platform with the same user interface and like/retweet features, referred to in Cuban slang as the “bird.” The operation spanned roughly 2009–2014. - USAID invested about $1,200,000,000 in promoting Arab Spring–style social media revolutions, funding activist groups and civil society organizations to learn to use Facebook, Twitter, hashtags, and to coordinate street protests to topple governments. - Because Cuba did not allow US social media, the operation recreated a Cuban-looking Twitter-like service. The project began in 2010, using funds concealed as humanitarian aid for Pakistan, even though Cuba is not near Pakistan. The main contractor was Creative Associates International (CAI), with CAI designing the network. - The funds were concealed in the budget as humanitarian aid for Pakistan, routed through front companies using Cayman Islands bank accounts, and recruiting business executives who were not told of ties to the US government, according to the AP. - The network reached about 60,000 Cuban subscribers. The initiative reportedly included a surveillance dimension, building a vast database of Cuban subscribers (gender, age, political tendencies) that could be used for political purposes. The data were to be used for micro-targeting anti- and pro-government users. - Initial content would be noncontroversial, focusing on sports, music, and hurricane updates. The internal plan was to lure users in with these topics, then, once a critical mass was reached, gradually introduce political messages via social bots to encourage dissent and organize “smart mobs” or rental riots. - The strategy mirrored tactics used in Egypt and Tunisia, aiming to trigger a Cuban spring and “renegotiate the balance of power between state and society.” The Guardian has a detailed piece on this, describing the internal files that outlined luring Cubans with music, sports, and hurricane updates before pushing political content. - To conceal involvement, the operation reportedly used Cayman Islands front companies and designated funds as humanitarian aid, raising questions about US fingerprints. The discussion suggests this approach raises diplomatic blowback concerns and implies a preference for formal intelligence agencies in such operations. The speaker emphasizes that the material shows how the programs were structured to influence Cuba, how funds were misrepresented, and how data collection and targeted messaging were planned for political outcomes, reminding listeners of the broader implications for US statecraft.

Project Mockingbird aimed to control the public via media, but was less effective with the rise of alternative media like podcasts. To beat the "deep state," one must challenge it in unfamiliar territory. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, passed in 2012 and enacted in 2013, legalized propaganda for US citizens, repealing the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act which had prohibited domestic release. Obama essentially reopened the door for Operation Mockingbird, allowing the CIA to propagandize Americans. High-level intelligence officials or people associated with the intelligence industry are running journals. The CIA is the biggest funder of journalism in the world through USAID. Intelligence agencies manipulated information on platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Before 1975, the CIA compromised journalists from major publications, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Politicians are repeating the same talking points from a script like actors.

USAID, with 10,000 employees and a $40 billion annual budget, has drawn scrutiny for its spending. Examples cited include funding for electric vehicles in Vietnam, a transgender clinic in India, and $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group. A Middle East Forum study revealed $164 million to radical organizations globally, including $122 million to groups linked to terrorist organizations. Millions were also allocated to sex changes in Guatemala, a Sesame Street show in Iraq, combating misinformation in Kazakhstan, and meals to a group linked to Al Qaeda. Further examples include funding for LGBT advocacy in Jamaica, rebuilding Cuba's media, and projects related to gendered language in Sri Lanka and disability inclusion in Belarus. These expenditures raise questions about the agency's priorities and oversight.

During the Obama era, this was a scandal about rogue USAID operations in Cuba. Zunzanillo, an online social networking microblogging service created by USAID and marketed to Cuban users, ran from 02/2009 to 02/2014 as a Cuban Twitter clone; the network reached about 60,000 Cuban subscribers. USAID and the State Department pumped $1,200,000,000 to sponsor activist groups to learn Facebook, Twitter, hashtags, and how to coordinate protests, aiming to spark Arab Spring–style social media revolutions. Funds were concealed as humanitarian funds designated for Pakistan; contractors funded by USAID, main contractor Creative Associates International, designed the network and used a Byzantine system of front companies with Cayman Islands bank accounts, recruiting unsuspecting executives, “according to the AP.” Data would be used for micro targeting towards anti and pro government users in Cuba, building a vast database of Cuban Zunzanillo subscribers, including gender, age, and receptiveness and political tendencies. Initial content included “noncontroversial” sports, music, and hurricane updates; once subscriber mass was reached, political messages via social bots would be introduced to encourage dissent in this astroturfing, aiming to organize “smart mobs” and mass gatherings to topple the regime—“renegotiate the balance of power between state and society.” Guardian coverage and internal documents describe the plan, noting “this is classic CIA work.” If US fingerprints risk diplomatic blowback, “we need a formal intelligence agency.”

USAID, often seen as a humanitarian organization, has increasingly acted as a tool for domestic control, particularly through its efforts to censor information online. This shift became evident when USAID began targeting American social media platforms to combat disinformation, impacting domestic politics. They have funneled significant funds to organizations that influence U.S. affairs, including those connected to George Soros. USAID's actions reflect a broader agenda against populism, which they view as a threat to democracy. Their funding has supported initiatives that undermine populist movements globally, including in Brazil, where they contributed to censorship efforts against former President Bolsonaro. Ultimately, USAID's role has evolved into a mechanism for enforcing foreign policy goals by stifling domestic dissent.

Under USAID's independent media and media sustainability branches, half a billion dollars a year funds a network of over 4,000 media outlets, reaching 778,000,000 people and training 9,000 journalists. This includes training by organizations like the Atlantic Council, funded by USAID, the State Department, and the Pentagon. USAID funds both sides of the issue, including a $500,000,000 mercenary media operation. The CEO of Internews, which is funded by USAID, is advocating for a global advertising exclusion list to censor disinformation by targeting ad revenue. USAID also gave $68,000,000 to the World Economic Forum. USAID's internal documents show explicit political targeting of advertiser networks.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the weekly report. The USAID website is currently unreachable, as the Trump administration has frozen its activities and may move it under the State Department. This could be one of Trump's most significant actions early in his presidency. Many still view USAID as a disaster relief agency, but it plays a crucial role in U.S. regime change operations, funding NGOs that undermine elected governments. Reports indicate that 90% of Ukrainian media is U.S. government-funded, creating a propaganda loop that distorts the reality of the war. Additionally, USAID allegedly funded research at the Wuhan lab, raising concerns about its role in COVID-19. Americans deserve a transparent audit of USAID, and the agency should be shut down to restore integrity. Thank you for listening.

I have a picture here of an Al Qaeda leader and they are in a USAID tent. Look who signed the check for the initial $200,000 payment to the Islamic Relief Agency, the United States Agency for International Development. USAID was running a top secret espionage program to undermine Cuba and push people to dissent. Now let me show you how much money we're talking about. It included a billion dollar sovereign loan guarantee, $320,000,000 in general assistance. Judicial Watch found that the US State Department and USAID had been giving millions to the Macedonian arm of George Soros' Open Society Foundation. To train youth movements. So USAID and those are always they're known by anybody who pays attention as CIA fronts. This is you know, the the USAID comes into a country. they start doing things, and next thing you know, we've got a revolution on our hands because that's the CIA.

The U.S. secretly developed a Twitter-like program called Zunzunio to undermine the Cuban government, as revealed by an Associated Press report. Funded through shell companies and foreign banks, the initiative aimed to attract young Cubans by initially sharing non-political content. Once a subscriber base was established, political messages would be introduced to inspire protests. This program, run by USAID rather than a spy agency, has drawn criticism for its covert nature and lack of transparency. Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy expressed skepticism about its effectiveness, while Peter Kornbluh highlighted the program's failure and its detrimental impact on U.S.-Cuba relations. The discussion raises concerns about the broader implications of U.S. covert operations in Cuba and the need for a shift in policy towards normalization.

"This was a scandal, during Obama the Obama USAID, era." "Now we were running a number of of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time." "This is an online social social networking microblogging service created by USAID and marketed to Cuban users." "This was a Twitter knockoff." "02/2009, 02/2014." "they took funds, millions of dollars of funds that were concealed as humanitarian funds designated for Pakistan." "The network dubbed the Cuban Twitter reached about 60,000 Cuban subscribers." "The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro government users in Cuba." "Once they hit a critical mass, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this astroturfing." "There would be 'smart mobs' and rental riots." "If something has diplomatic blowback and we don't want US fingerprints on it, we need a formal intelligence agency because there's diplomatic blowback."

Hello everyone, and welcome to the weekly report. The USAID website is currently inaccessible, and reports indicate the Trump administration has frozen its activities, potentially moving it under the State Department or shutting it down entirely. Many view USAID as a humanitarian agency, but it plays a significant role in U.S. regime change efforts globally, funding NGOs that undermine elected governments. Recent reports show that 90% of Ukrainian media outlets rely on U.S. funding, creating a propaganda loop that distorts information about the conflict. Additionally, USAID is linked to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab. Americans deserve transparency regarding USAID's actions, and the agency should be audited and ultimately closed. Thank you for listening.

USAID is a fraud and a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, with very little being put to good use. This occurs while denying funds to those who clearly need them, with only cents on the dollar reaching those in need. USAID was initially created for humanitarian purposes, but it has been captured by the military-industrial complex, becoming a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war. The US government, through USAID, has funded things like DEI initiatives in Serbia, gender surgeries worldwide, sex change surgeries in Guatemala, and social media influencers in Ukraine. USAID is using taxpayer dollars to fund opposition and subvert democracy in other countries. USAID and the CIA don't promote democracy; they are run by radical lunatics that we are working to remove. As an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this.

Speaker 0 says he began in 2020 to combine the most successful coup fighters with experts who helped study or defeat autocracy internationally, visiting Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Czech Republic, and forming a plan over four years. "twice as many protests in 2025 as there were in 2021." Speaker 2 outlines Norm Eisen’s "democracy playbook" with seven pillars: "controlling elections, controlling the courts, fighting corruption, basically, painting Trump as an autocrat, reinforcing civic and media space," and pillar six: "controlling disinformation," noting that "states may find partners in allied regulators over social media such as the EU and Brazil." Eisen recruited people for his new blob shop from folks who overturned basically regimes that he called autocratic. "All these people get paid to fight autocracy abroad through the State Department, USAID, the US Institute of Peace, the Department of Defense, Civil Military." The playbook cites USAID "37 times," funding "media allies for the blob" and projects like "the corruption reporting project in Ukraine" and "a billion dollar USAID loan guarantee" to remove Victor Shokin. It also discusses "designating elections as critical infrastructure" and a "slush fund" to pay state secretaries, plus "strategic non cooperation."

A Substack piece alleges USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment. According to the speaker, a CIA analyst leftover from the Obama White House wrote the memo that led to the impeachment based on hearsay. This memo relied heavily on a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), an organization funded by USAID. The OCCRP was allegedly created as an extension of the State Department and USAID. The speaker claims USAID was about regime change abroad, a public-facing version of covert CIA operations. The speaker suggests that, similar to censorship tools used abroad being brought home, the predicate for Trump's impeachment was created abroad. The speaker believes this is one of many revelations to come.

USAID has been accused of acting as a covert operations division for U.S. foreign policy, often engaging in activities that resemble those previously conducted by the CIA. This includes funding opposition groups in countries like Bangladesh, where they supported specific demographics to destabilize governments. Both Democrats and internationalist Republicans benefit from USAID, complicating efforts to shut it down. Past presidents, including Biden and Obama, have been implicated in this corruption, with connections to organizations funded by USAID. The Trump administration's foreign policy challenged this system, leading to significant pushback, including legal actions against Trump. USAID's influence extends across various sectors, including media and academia, raising concerns about accountability and transparency in U.S. foreign aid.

Speaker 0 discusses a 2021 Special Operations Command instruction manual under Mark Milley, described as a vision for 2021 and beyond that contained instructions and examples on how the military could work with the state department, intel services, and USAID using race riots to destabilize nations, citing “examples of some of the instruction manuals here” as one and two to destabilize nations. Speaker 1 references a declassified CIA guide written in 1983 that trains operatives in how to organize riots in foreign countries. It is described as advocating for using agitators, including hiring professional criminals, to manipulate mass meetings and assemblies of people in person, which can result in general violence. The guide allegedly instructs the case officers that “our psychological war team must develop in advance a hostile mental attitude among the target groups so that at the given moment, they can turn their anger into violence demanding the rights taken away by the regime,” with a goal to make ethnic minority groups mad at their government in a general sense so that, when triggered, they will turn that general anger into physical violence against the state they aim to overthrow. The CIA guide allegedly details getting teachers, doctors, attorneys, and businessmen recruited as social crusaders for the CIA-backed cause, with a plan for gradually building clusters of influence: “these cells,” including “10 super teachers… 10 lawyers… 10 captains of industry… 10 medical professionals,” who will each operate within their spheres of influence and, at an appropriate time, fuse the groups into a united front. It is claimed that with “a force of 200 to 300 agitators,” one can create a demonstration in which “10,000 to 20,000” participate, given access to “200 back channels, 200 human assets” built up to mobilize a large riot. Speaker 0 adds that the guide also recommended setting up job fairs near protests so that disaffected workers could gain employment. The speaker then questions as a member of Congress whether anyone in USAID gets elected to Congress or to a presidency. Speaker 1 asserts that the US secretly created Cuban Twitter to stir unrest in organized smart mobs, likening them to BLM-style mobs. He notes McSpeden, who “worked for USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives,” and explains that the term “transition” means regime change. He cites a 2009 congressional report stating that the Office of Transition Initiatives runs a program to topple governments through organized political warfare, mobilizing unions, boycotts, and shutdowns of roads, transportation systems, hospitals, and schools, and that a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Fulton Armstrong warned that even he could not obtain broad access to what USAID was doing, describing it as a secret operation. Speaker 0 closes by saying that acting in the shadows to destabilize nations using race wars and advocating that the military do it jeopardizes future generations who would have to fight such wars and operates without oversight.

The article asserts that USAID is about regime change abroad, a public-facing version of covert CIA operations.
