Stay at home and don’t bother to come into the office. That was the message to staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Monday who were instructed to stay out of the agency’s Washington headquarters.
The advice came via a notice distributed to the career bureaucrats, AP reports, after Elon Musk announced President Donald Trump had agreed with him to shut the agency down.
According to AP, USAID staffers said they “also tracked more than 600 employees who reported being locked out of the agency’s computer systems overnight.
Musk attacked the agency by calling it a “criminal organization” on Sunday as Trump decried it as “run by radical lunatics” and said he was considering its future.
Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, offered a foreign perspective.
He said on social media “Most governments don’t want USAID funds flowing into their countries because they understand where much of that money actually ends up.
“While marketed as support for development, democracy, and human rights, the majority of these funds are funneled into opposition groups, NGOs with political agendas, and destabilizing movements.”
Macedonia experienced first hand the power of USAid after the US ‘agency’ financed the coup which installed Zaev. In addition, USAid financed LGBT parades, funded the introduction of gay and lesbian content into kindergarten etc. An absolute menace for Macedonia and dozens of other nations worldwide.
