Illon Musk is likely to claim children’s blood on his hands for effectively closing him in the most foreign aid agency in America. But trust me: I will.
On the orders of Musk, the United States Agency for International Development has stopped. Thousands of its officials, workers and contractors were removed from the work, and its programs are commented on those who know that its website is no longer working.
“We are closing it,” Mouc said Monday. “You have to get rid of the entire matter. It is not more than reform.”
I think Musk, the unprecedented billionaire billionaire, is responsible for reducing federal spending, and his president, President Trump, believes that most Americans will not care about the things that continue abroad. Voters were in a mood when they gave Trump for a second term. Most of us have nothing but a peeking view of the American Agency for International Development, which provides humanitarian aid to developing countries surrounded by conflict, disease and natural disasters around the world. With a budget of about $ 40 billion, it is the United States Agency for International Development as well The largest food aid provider in the world – Which, to put even musk GrocIt means that it saves the lives of children with malnutrition.
However – a surprise – the Americans are interested. On Wednesday, pro -master demonstrations were held in the Capitol building throughout the country. In Washington, DC, where the headquarters of the American Agency for International Development is located and many of its workers and its contractors live. Thousands turned into a protest Moses sudden, It is likely to be illegal Move.
Critics may wonder what the agency does, but the best question is what no Do?
It was established during the Kennedy administration to confront Soviet influence, and the US Agency for International Development in Ukraine helped in its battle against Russia, to ensure that the elections are free and fair, and to cooperate with partners in 100 countries around the world, reduce poverty, hunger, disease and despair. It funds independent foreign media, civil society activists, and promoting global freedom and security. All of this has stopped suddenly.
The New York Times reported The Trump administration’s suspension of all organizations from the United States Agency for International Development leaves thousands of people “with drugs and experimental devices in their bodies without access to monitoring or care.”
Like any huge agency, the US Agency for International Development suffers from a degree of waste, fraud and abuse. The Agency’s Inspector is also recently Put on his fears About the frustrated lack of cooperation with the United Nations with the US Agency for International Development and recommended changes.
But despite the problems to be addressed, the American Agency for International Development is the embodiment of the American soft power. It is simply the most persuaded quiet tool that we have to improve people’s lives, spread democracy and face the increasing impact of China in Africa and South America.
For this reason, you can imagine, Autocrats all over the world I am pleased to see her disintegration.
“Wrapped with billions that the United States spends annually on foreign aid – more than any other country – It is hundreds of grants to popular groups devoted to fighting for democracy in authoritarian countries around the world. ” The Associated Press mentioned. Favantry reactions to the closure of the agency came from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Russia, and the Associated Press said: “Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said to X that he hopes that the famous” deep state “country” on “musk” to withdraw the plug on the agency. “
Project 2025, the second Trump Heritage Foundation scheme, He devotes a full chapter To the American Agency for International Development, the Biden Administration has accused of allowing the agency of promoting “radical ideology” and “divisive political and cultural agenda that enhances abortion, climate extremism, gender extremism, and interventions against systematic systematic racism.” However, despite such excessive excessive exaggeration, Project 2025 admits that the agency is “facing China’s communist strategy to dominate the world.”
Musk called on the American Agency for International Development “evil“A criminal organization.” Trump waives that he is running a “handful of radical madmen”.
This is crazy. But this is not surprising, because – with “strange things” – we all live upside down now.
“The idea that this is a criminal institution? Please,” said Peter Kirandt, a public health doctor who recently spent five years in Mozambique. Its work involves tracking, identifying and treating people with deadly disease. On January 28, he was suddenly expelled.
“He is like a bowel punch,” said Kernd, who worked in the Ministry of Public Health in Los Angeles for 29 years before leaving the United States Agency for International Development. “Oh my God, musk does not know the work that is done. I think the richest man in the world has an agenda.”
Oh you think?
Senator Chris Murphy A reasonable theory presents Tuesday night in a video posted on Instagram. Democratic Contecticut said that Musk, whose work depends on government contracts, is simply outside his pockets. Musk makes half of his sings in ChinaIt is also its largest foreign market.
“He is in one row now with China because China does not allow him to market his self -driving car, and they are trying to give an advantage to its local self -driving products,” Murphy said. “How can you get a quick interest with the Chinese government? You dismantle the agency, which is the largest fork on the side of China.”
The U.S. Inspector of the International Development Agency was also investigating How to deprive the ships of Speus Spesx Starslank, It was purchased with the agency’s funds, and was used in the Ukraine war with Russia, although the details are few. biography Walter Isaxon wrote This musk has once cut the arrival of the Ukrainian army to Starlink to thwart an attack on a drone against Russia. This is simply a lot of strength for one individual to prepare.
Maga Republicans can shout everything they want about the “wake” agendas that are exported by the United States Agency for International Development, but the bottom line is that the agency is doing very important and life -saving work.
I asked Dr. Kerndt why the Americans should be concerned with the work it is doing to prevent and treat tuberculosis, which is often killer if it is not treated and that there is no vaccine.
He told me: “Tuberculosis affects youth and health.” “It is a catastrophic cost for these individuals, to families, for families. It sinks them more in poverty. It is something we can prevent penalty on the dollar. It is an unimaginable source of respect in the United States.”
The throwing of this good work away to satisfy the childish billionaire will leave a permanent stigma in this country.
