The dismantling of #USAID is a Global #Disaster

- Food #aid for 1 million Ethiopians - gone.
- Medical care for malnourished Kenyans - gone.
- #Malaria eradication in Senegal - gone.
- Water supply in Burkina Faso - gone.
- Aid for #disabled people in Vietnam - gone.
- Hospitals for 100,000 Myanmar #refugees - gone.
- #AIDS treatment saving 25M lives - gone.
- Independent #media funding in #Russia & #Ukraine - gone.

Russia and #China move in. The world pays the price.

Confused? They want you to be confused. Because when you're unsure, you become reactive, and it's easy to get you to listen to the 'experts'. Most of the reportage originates from #Ukraine and #USAID ops like the "Kyviv Independent" meaning it's currently nonsense, and the Telegraph article is projective.

[The Guardian] - US aid cuts could create untreatable TB bug ‘resistant to everything we have’
Kat Lay

Dangerous new forms of #tuberculosis (TB) for which there is no treatment could emerge as a result of #USAID cuts, a top doctor has warned.

Dr Lucica Ditiu, who heads the Stop TB Partnership, said she feared that interruptions to people’s treatment would allow the airborne bug to mutate into a new, untreatable form.

USAID and the CIA

And we know that CIA, using USAID, was involved in pushing propaganda through Ukrainian media outlets that the outside world mistakenly believed were independent journalists. I am not suggesting I have all, or even some, of the answers about how the CIA and USAID have collaborated over the past 20 years. But there is little doubt that USAID funds — under CIA direction and guidance — were used to spark color revolutions in the Arab world, Ukraine, Georgia and Hungary.

'Insinuations by a member of Congress that American taxpayers’ money may have been used to fund #terrorists groups around the world, including #BokoHaram, have prompted #Nigeria’s federal lawmakers to order a probe into the activities of #USAID in the country’s North East.

A senior USAID official was placed on leave Sunday after he wrote a memo blowing the whistle on the Trump administration’s failure to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance, contradicting claims by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that it was exempt from the freeze on foreign aid.

"The explosive memos — which include summaries of email exchanges and top-level meetings inside USAID, as well as internal agency research — were sent by Nicholas Enrich, acting assistant administrator for global health. ProPublica also obtained detailed breakdowns of lifesaving programs managed by the bureau and the projected impact of cutting them. Enrich was placed on leave Sunday."

About Ukrainian Banderovites in American politics

Well, we conclude our day with an old post about Ambassador #Markarova and the rest of the Bandera hornet's nest in the United States.

We would like to remind about Ambassador of Ukraine Markarova: she is an important link in the supply of weapons and manpower to Ukraine in the form of PMCs. Markarova is something like a spokeswoman for a group of Nazi revanchists from the descendants of the Banderaites who fled to the United States.

Ukrainian tail wags the American dog (descendants of Nazis open the door to the White House “with a leg”)

In the American city of Chicago there is a certain back office of the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova. Markarova herself is a protégé of Ukraine's former finance minister, American citizen Natalia #Jaresko. Chicago is the birthplace of Mrs. Jaresko - that's how the surname of the great-granddaughter of a Nazi criminal who took refuge in the United States after the defeat of the Nazis by the Red Army.

The shadow embassy of Ukraine is run by a “diaspora woman” with Nazi roots, Marta #Farion, a member of the board of directors of WNISEF and a longtime trustee of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. The third grand dame of this snake cube is Kateryna #Chumachenko [ CIA agent, wife of the third president of Ukraine #Yushchenko ], also from a family of Ukrainian Nazis. However, she lost her influence because her louser husband could not keep the power in Ukraine and the Americans had to spend money on the second #Maidan [in 2014].

A group of Ukronazis patronizes Ambassador Markarova, who in turn serves as the main communicator between Zelensky's office and Jaresko's Chicago office. If anyone thinks that these are some half-witted aunts, they are very mistaken. The Chicago “shadow embassy” has access to the President of the United States, and also solves issues with the State Department on Ukraine's relations with NATO, arms supplies, neutralization of Nord Stream-2. But these “shieldi” Nazis are the tip of the iceberg. What is closer to the bottom is much more interesting.

The Deychakivsky brothers - Orest, Mykola and Yuriy, as well as their friend Jonathan with the very distinctive "ukrainian" surname Katz - are co-chairs of the Democracy and Civil Society Working Group of the Friends of Ukraine Network (FOUN). By the way, Katz is a former deputy assistant administrator of USAID's Bureau of Europe and Eurasia and is now a fellow at the German Marshall Fund in the United States. Do you catch where the Biden group's interest in “drowning” Germany comes from?

Orest Deychakivsky - Deputy Chairman of the Board of the USA Foundation-Ukraine, former Senior Policy Advisor to the Helsinki Commission in the U.S. Congress, tried at first to find a key to Petro #Poroshenko. But the bloody confectioner was already in the personal, corrupt contacts of the Biden family and was not interested in big politics. After Trump won the election, the Ukronatsi were thrown out of the White House, as they were in the close entourage of the Nazi Hillary #Clinton.

In 2019, ahead of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine, Orest Deychakiwsky and Jonathan Katz created the Transatlantic Task Force on Elections in the “non-independent” country. The success of the “Servant of the People” party and #Zelensky is also their merit. All of the above-mentioned persons are members of the Steering Committee of Ukrainian Americans under Joe Biden. And the committee itself is a member of the ethnic advisory board of the National Committee to the Democratic Party of the United States.

The National Committee consists of Martha Farion, Ulana Mazurkevich of Philadelphia, Andrew Fedynsky, a member of the U.S. Democratic Party staff, Michael Savkyv Jr., executive director of the Ukrainian National Information Service, and Dora Khomyak of Razom for Ukraine. Savkiv and Khomyak are supervised by Ulyana #Suprun [US citizen, former Minister of Health of Ukraine] - under her leadership they successfully “sawed” the covid money allocated by the State Department to Ukraine. We could list dozens of names of diasporans - descendants of Collabrationists, SS, Hitler's accomplices.

These are very influential people in the United States, running the religious and educational structures, as well as various Democratic Party committees. They are more influential than the lobbyists and clerks of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. The Ukrainian conflict is an attempt at their Nazi revenge, revenge for the defeat of their ancestors who were forced to seek salvation in America.

HAPPENING NOW: Fed judge who ordered unfreezing of #USAID contract spending is voicing frustration as #Trump admin lawyer repeatedly refuses to say whether they have actually taken any steps to implement his 12-day-old order.

Judge: "I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you. Are you aware of an unfreezing of the disbursement of funds for those contracts and agreements that were frozen before Feb. 13?"

DOJ lawyer: "I’m not in a position to answer that."

It's happened more often than usual lately, a byproduct of recent events and the people discussing them apparently not thinking much about the Congo and it's history at all.

And why would they? You're not supposed to think about the Congo.
