And again, you know, it's not illegal to hire people who without jobs. These appear to be, you know, fake consulting firms and fake headhunting companies. Right. But it's not a kinetic attack. Right. Anyway, I just I just remember that thing. But that's crazy. Isn't that amazing?

Well, I think if it's made headlines that their operation isn't going so well. I think that if I was them, I would want to hire them and have them make projects that could potentially leverage their knowledge of the federal government so that I now have a good deal of knowledge about the federal government. So like I said, there's a lot of people who have been fired from USAID.

But anyway, so the USAID thing, I think people should understand a little bit about the modern history of USAID and how it changed basically post-Reagan. Originally, USAID was created, I think it was 1961 by Kennedy. And the purpose of this was to not only, you know, distribute diplomatic aid, but to act as a branch of soft power on behalf of the United States State Department. Right.

I think that it is no secret that states use soft power in terms of here's a stick, a carrot instead of a stick. Every nation does that. In fact, I've even done that on behalf of Liberland. I distributed aid to Somali nomads that were affected by Cyclone Sagar because we were trying to get closer with the government of Somaliland. So it's no secret that that happens.

What happened during the Reagan administration was USAID changed from we are going to sort of implement different programs within countries and we're going to develop and launch them in-house

It changed to becoming a more privatized venture where USAID essentially becomes the pool of funds that private institutions and NGOs can requisition provided that they are in line with whatever the initiatives of USAID are. So you have companies like Chemonix is one of them. I think they're still around. What is Chemonix? They're an international development company, C-H-M-E-O-N-I-X, I think.

And then you have smaller NGOs. And the bargain is basically like, you know, if you have, I don't know, I'll use Albania, but like if you have an Albanian NGO that is roughly working on what USAID thinks is not only good for the country but also good for U.S. relations with the country, then you can get some funding from USAID. Mm-hmm. In fact, I've worked on projects in Albania recently.
