“Between 2007 and 2013, USAID spent over US$120 million to subvert the constitutional order in Cuba. It is unusual for an official development agency to spend money to support a change of government and enrich those who see a business in the suffering of the Cuban people,” he said on social media.
i was glad to see trump’s efforts at dismantling the cia; it sort became like a silver lining to the dark cloud that was trump dismantling the entire federal government and now it looks like usaid might be another silver lining.
i was only vaguely aware that usaid was a duplicitous organization; offering aid with strings attached like the imf; but seeing news stories like this come to the surface has solidified to me how much more damage than good that they were doing to this world
it makes me wonder what the cia version 2 will be like.
@eldavi@lemmy.ml Oh USAid was an intelligence cutout 100%, they only did a token amount of good to make their legend plausible. The bulk was spent on NGOs to create “civil society” groups to invoke street demonstrations leading to (hopefully regime change). None of the colour revolutions and attempts, (think Hong Kong, Arab Spring etc.) were organic in nature — All were artificial. Numerous examples. Moreover, another thing to come out is all the bioweapon labs the US has installed in the eastern Baltic’s including Ukraine. The Wuhan outbreak is simply the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately.
Oh man, I heard it also funded the fake moon landing.
