#170 Mike Benz - USAID Funding CIA-Backed Mercenaries, Media Superweapons and Samantha Powers

If you don't have a FARA law to know which NGOs or which universities or which for-profit entities or whatnot are getting money from, pick your foreign country X, China, Saudi Arabia, UK, you name it, to do it, then That's an obvious counterintelligence threat. That's an intelligence operation, effectively, being run. When Georgia tried to pass that law, which is just U.S. FARA, what happened?

Well, there were the same street riots that were deployed that USAID was flat-busted, caught doing in every place from the Arab Spring to you know, to virtually every color revolution, street protest movement the U.S. has done, at least since the 1980s.

And so they're trying to stop Eastern European countries from even knowing the extent of the USAID Truman Show there and potentially even deploying their own rent-a-riot muscle to stop disclosure of that. So I don't know the extent in Romania, but I have to imagine If the truth is revealed, it would shock the world.

Every plot of dirt on God's green earth is influenced by USAID. I believe you said at the beginning of this that it was about 100 countries, and you mentioned Africa, Asia... Western Hemisphere, South America, and Eastern Europe. It's every country on Earth. For example, why is USAID paying tens of millions of dollars to British censorship NGOs and British censorship firms?

This is the largest consortium of investigative journalists in the world. This is the group that broke the Panama Papers and other major world stories. Turns out half of their budget comes from USAID and the State Department. I believe in the beginning it was all of it or virtually all of it. They were effectively spawned out of USAID and the State Department.
