@AverageJoe1 saidWhy is right wing media dutifully following the Trump administration/Elon Musk's party line?
""...Aid does in fighting disease and rendering Aid to those in crisis areas.""
If they are so great and above-board, then why is the media.....oh, never mind
The question answers itself.
@no1marauder saidI already told you they both denied it. You really are think headed.
Maybe you should read it:
"A spokesperson for the Associated Press, which also faced accusations from pro-Trump online accounts that it was funded by the aid agency, said it had not received any money from USAID.
“Our business is providing factual, nonpartisan news and information to customers worldwide,” the spokesperson said.
“The U.S. government has long been an A ...[text shortened]... already explained to you, governments pay, like everybody else, for access to various media outlets.
Do you expect them to admit it?
@no1marauder saidI myself cannot ignore you, as I find it funny and entertaining that you will not answer my question which I put forth on page 11 above. You do not have much standing to say MB is full of crap, with that huge loss
Another BS conspiracy theory.
Further moronic posts from you will be ignored.
@no1marauder saidAnswer me this: Do you honestly think most of USAID funding is for food and medicine?
Figure it out, moron.
Does the type of person who has expertise in cultural exchanges have the same expertise as someone who coordinates food and medicine delivery programs?
Of course you don't. If you did you would not support covering up where all of the money went. You are worse than a sheep. You are a born follower of propaganda.
@Metal-Brain saidGee, "documents" only a fringe, pro-Kremlin conspiracy site has seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone
Understanding it and agreeing with it are 2 very different things. You are wrong. It has nothing to do with ideology. It has to do with creating political instability to prep for regime change. Republicans funded ‘transgender dance’ in Bangladesh.
"According to documents obtained by The Grayzone, the US-funded International Republican Institute sees gay and transgende ...[text shortened]... piracy fact. The transgender funding is for regime change. That is why republicans are doing it too.
Transgender people are a tiny minority with no ability to create "regime change". The whole idea is particularly stupid even for someone as nutty and gullible as you.
@no1marauder saidAre you suggesting that the line is a wrong exercise? In what way? Studying inefficiency and waste would be a good thing, I would think. Actually, this sentence is the answer to your question, is it not? Or, is proper stewardship not a good thing.

The question answers itself.
@Metal-Brain saidYes, I do think the majority of US Aid fund is for projects to fight disease, hunger and suffering.

No one opposes showing where the money went. Start showing how much of the almost $40 billion last year went to worthwhile programs rather than bitching about a pittance paid by another agency to someone to produce a comic book.
@no1marauder saidIf you have to resort to attacking the source instead of the facts you have already lost this debate. That is exemplified by the fact you did not claim the documents did not exist and challenge me to produce them.

Now you are just wishing they didn't exist.

@AverageJoe1 saidMusk isn't talking about "waste" at US Aid. He called the entire agency a "criminal organization" and wants it shut down. Apparently, he's buying into or pretending to buy into the same nutty conspiracy theories that Metal Brain does.

Show us all how you can believe that and support keeping the funding secret at the same time. You can believe in god too, but without proof I reject your leap in faith. There is no god.
@Metal-Brain saidWhat an incredible hypocrite you are; you just repeatedly tried to disregard well established media companies' reporting because governments actually pay to view their product!

If the documents exist, your pro-Kremlin website should publish them. Note the group you are now talking about doesn't have anything to do with the US government.

@Metal-Brain saidNo, the onus is on you to produce proof to the contrary.
Prove it.

Here's what US Aid funding goes to: https://www.grants.gov/learn-grants/grant-making-agencies/u-s-agency-for-international-development-usaid
S27.7 billion went to "Disaster relief and other humanitarian aid" "Efforts to solve the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS" and "Combatting “pandemic influenza” and other emerging public health threats." https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/02/06/what-the-data-says-about-us-foreign-aid/

Are you resorting to making up lies again?
@no1marauder saidNo, you made the assertion so it is your burden of proof. You have insisted that it was for food and medicine from day one. Not that it is to help Americans.

Nice try you cad.

No, unsurprisingly foreign aid doesn't directly "help" Americans. But it increases goodwill toward the United States around the globe as well as increasing economic prosperity.
