[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was USAID associated with the CIA?[/quote]

The argument/theory is that USAID was used to provide an indirect mechanism to funnel money into entities for various intelligence purposes. Like propping up a coup movement against an unpopular political figure.

I worked in an industry tangent to US contracting for a long time overseas as my firm was involved in reconstruction projects in Iraq and Afghanistan and heard some wild stories about USAID. Let me explain a simple situation. USAID gives funding to build water pipes to a village in whatever developing country. Sounds great and it is on the surface of it. But do you ever ask yourself who gets the contracts to actually build the pipes? And who owns the companies that builds the pipes? Most people don't and that's why the more jaded people say much of USAID funding ends up in the pockets of local corrupt politicians including national leaders of those countries.

Also looks like funding of research at a certain virology institution in China may have been through USAID.

I do think a lot of good activities is supported by USAID but to be frankly honest and based on the stories told by experienced NGO people overseas, that USAID could have been a front for CIA / intelligence activities does not surprise me at all. And I don't doubt we will learn a lot more in the next few months. People here hate Musk and DOGE but if those screenshots he's releasing on twitter are accurate, then just wow. That's why I would urge people to be a bit careful before rushing to defend USAID. We just don't know how much more will be revealed by an administration that seems determined to unclassify every classified secret in DC.
