DOGE and The Deep State Purge, Part I

"What's best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women." Conan the Barbarian

By Rich Kozlovich

I've updated this piece DAILY showing just how corrupt, and even treasonous, USAID has been, and the updates are getting so large I've tried to organize them into categories. At least as best as I can since so much of what they were doing overlapped.   One thing is becoming clear to me as the information accumulates; in order to make sure it's all properly exposed I will have to do an individual piece on each category.  

Have no doubt someone is going to prison, and the investigations will lead to - "let's make a deal" - by the flunkys and lackeys of these organizations who did the dirty work in order to avoid the full weight of the justice system upon them,  Those deals will lead to the upper echelon of the Democrat party, these bureaucracies, and possibly some RINO's.

"Here are the highest paid employees of USAID. As Dems are wont to say, You have to pay market rates to get the experts with the knowledge to run a govt. racket: USAID Highest Paid Employees"

Trump the Barbarian, is the Deep State’s worst nightmare, and it's happening at such a fast pace, and over the entire federal bureaucracy, the Democrats can't act fast enough because the evidence coming out about how they've corrupted the bureaucracy is so vast they're incapable of mounting a credible response. 

"For years, the strategy was simple—control the narrative, slow-walk investigations, drag out court cases, and create distractions. But the speed of Trump’s counteroffensive has shattered that plan. Every day brings another massive revelation, another purge, another humiliation for the so-called ruling class."........."Meanwhile, Democrat operative Jen Psaki has gone full Chicken Little, warning Americans that the “sky is falling.” And they’re right; just not for America.  The sky is falling for the Deep State. And it’s happening right now."

Yeah, the sky is falling all right, and some of them are going to jail.

How do they respond to China having spies in the White House, the massive corruption at USAID, even funding terrorists, and it turns out less than ten percent went to those who were deserving.  They tried to resist efforts by DOGE to investigate their actions, but I keep seeing this idea they're in charge, not the President of the United States.  They're learning they're not in charge.  USAID Security Chiefs Put on Leave After Refusing Musk.

Panic in the Deep State as DOGE Pulls Back the Curtain on USAID - Musk's wrecking ball "We're shutting it down," Musk said. Trump, talking to reporters last night, suggested a final decision hasn't been made. He said USAID is "run by radical lunatics"...."beyond repair"....... "a bowl of worms" with no apple."' 

Initially the Treasury department refused access to "classified information" about their payment system, but they keep forgetting, the President of the United States is the ultimate classifying authority, and if he says someone is cleared, that's it, they're cleared!  And now we know why they resisted, to cover up what can't be defined as anything but criminal activity.   At the Treasury department is was discovered that payment approval officers at the U.S. Treasury were simply rubber-stamping all payment requests that were submitted to them.   Musk Reveals Treasury Has Been Auto-Paying Everyone, ‘Even Known Terrorist Groups’,  “They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.”   Someone's going to jail over this. 

Eighty eight FBI agents were escorted out of the FBI offices, and that's just the beginning. Fifty one traitors have their security clearances revoked, and there will be prosecutions there, not to mention resignations by the number, and it's expected this is going to generate some serious deals for lower echelon people to start talking, and that will go to the top of the Democrat pyramid.  

The bureaucrats are unhappy, and claim they shouldn't have to go back to work.  Outrageous, being in an office 40 hours a week.  The head of the American Federation of Government Employees Union, Everett Kelly, explains:

“Purging the federal government of dedicated career federal employees will have vast, unintended consequences that will cause chaos for the Americans who depend on a functioning federal government,” Kelley said in a statement. “Between the flurry of anti-worker executive orders and policies, it is clear that the Trump administration’s goal is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot stay even if they want to.”

Something they just don't seem to get is Trump isn't taking over the Executive Branch, he "is" the Executive branch, the constitution says: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

And we're hearing the lamentations of their women, and self styled "real conservatives", like Bill Kristol, who are leaches on the system, and he's not alone by any stretch of the imagination.  

Bill Kristol, who has been receiving funding from USAID, claims Deep State Corruption....and ultimate bankruptcy.... is preferable to Trump state.  Does anyone think that sounds sane?  That's as stupid as Axelrod saying USAID cuts is more radical that any spending.  More radical to whom?  Those who are corruptly befitting from that spending?  Certainly not for the American people.   I can't wait for the criminal investigations to begin.  

Now this from a man who I think is one of the weirdest human beings on the planet, Stephen King, saying Elon Musk is killing America, and has "quit Twitter because the “atmosphere has just become too toxic”'.  Toxic?  From Stephen King?  Really?  Now that is remarkable.  

Then there's Senator Warner who claims Trump’s actions will create chaos on steroids, offering no credible argument to support such a claim, but what is credible is targeting of NGO and nonprofit slush funds could recover billions.  That's not chaos for the  American people, it's chaos for those who've been leeching off the America taxpayer with the support of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, many of which need to be investigated and prosecuted.  There's nothing like a good civil and/or criminal penalty to get people's heads on straight.

Why was the federal government funding grants to South Africa?  Trump Cuts Off Funding to South Africa over Racial Land Confiscation.  They're a murderous, brutal, corrupt far left racist government.  Isn't that was the America left is supposed to be opposed to?  The claim there are valid reasons to support this insane government but they are totally offset by their corruption, they politically motivated murders of white farmers, their unending support of Muslim terrorism against Israel, and have a cozy relationship with China and Russia.  None of which does anything for America.  If their population has a AIDS problem I think that's unfortunate, but how did that become our responsibility? 

Remember when all this was snottily, smugly, and snarkily called "conspiracy theories"?  Well, Senator John Kennedy recently noted: 

"We need more conspiracy theories since all the old ones have turned out to be true - Conspiracy theorists are up like 37 to nothing." 

Politicians may be driving this, and have been for years, but a new day is dawning, and it's the bureaucrats who have going to pay the penalty. I remember when 25 years ago or so the major league umpires went on strike, and the union told them to resign as a tactic to get MLB to agree to new terms.

Well,....that didn't work, and when the contract was finally signed, and those who followed their union reps advice, were out of jobs. As it turned out there were a lot of people who could do just as badly as they did, and cheaper.

The same will be true after the dust settles and tens of thousands of bureaucrats are out looking for jobs and who in their right mind would hire them? What are their qualifications? They can sign their names on welfare checks.... maybe.... as long as it's not in cursive. 

If there was any doubt there was going to be criminal action taken agaisnt these people, disabuse yourself of that, since now we know both USAID and the CIA were behind the impeachment of trump in 2019 all of which is absolute violation of federal law and considered treason. (More here)

When the Taliban Teamed Up With Bill Gates and UNICEF

October 03, 2021 

When the Taliban set up their political operation in Doha, under the aegis of the Islamist state of Qatar, it wasn’t just the Americans and the Europeans who came to negotiate with the terrorists.

Last winter, UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, conducted its own negotiations with the Taliban. The UN agency, like many other non-profits, wanted to operate in Taliban territory and the representatives of the Islamist killers were willing to listen. What the Jihadist organization wanted from the UN was the same deal that Hamas got from UNRWA.

UNICEF would enable an ad-hoc school system that would operate under Taliban control.

While we often talk about terrorists indoctrinating children, few realize that our tax dollars and our non-profit organizations fund educational systems that are under the control of terrorist groups. The UN’s aid agencies routinely enable these operations, most notoriously in Gaza, where UNRWA schools are not only staffed by Hamas members, but have been used as bases for rocket attacks against Israel. But Gaza’s UNRWA setup is actually fairly typical of the UN.

The Helmand Sangin Workplan deal between the Taliban and UNICEF was said to have created 4,000 classes while reaching 140,000 Afghan children. There’s no way to know how true these numbers are, but the most significant part of the agreement was also the least reported part.

As a quarterly report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction noted, "the Taliban will recruit the teaching staff, who must then be able to pass a test set by the MOE."

And since the Taliban took over Kabul, the Ministry of Education is now under Taliban control.

But throughout the year, UNICEF was helping the Taliban run an educational system. These classes often took place in mosques. And the only ones to know for sure what was being taught in these "informal classes" were in the room. It’s not clear if USAID was providing any funding to the Taliban’s educational system, but some American non-profits appeared to be doing so.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was reported to be picking up some of the cost.

An “inspiring” UNICEF photo feature from earlier this year shows a female teacher in a burka that leaves only her eyes exposed teaching a group of women in burkas while a scowling man stands at the door. The classes are supposed to be taking place somewhere in Kandahar, and the funds are coming, at least in part, from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Helmand Sangin Workplan is scheduled to run until December 2021. The Biden administration has announced an additional $64 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. Some of this appears as if it will be routed through UNICEF and other UN agencies.

Will American taxpayers be funding a Taliban school system? The answer is we likely will.

The Taliban have often been portrayed as hostile to education, but the Jihadis who built the organization were the product of Madrassas, Islamic schools set up in Pakistan that were funded by Saudi Arabia. The name “Taliban” even means students in the Pashtun tongue.

The Islamic educational system is a military institution whose primary subject is Jihad. Its teachings focus on the need to defeat infidels and impose Sharia law on the human race. The Madrassa system is the means by which the Jihadis indoctrinate the next generation of killers.

The Taliban are not against educating boys or even necessarily girls. They run madrassas aimed at girls in some areas. What they are against is any educational system that they don’t control and can’t use to indoctrinate children into functioning as the next generation of their cause. And the United States and Americans appear to be willing to fund the Taliban schools.

What is the distinction between Taliban madrassas that were already in place and UNICEF schools? The UN wants to ensure that the Taliban teach math, science, and assorted secular subjects to students. Whether or not Taliban teachers end up doing this, no one can really know.

But that’s also hardly the point.

The United States should not be funding a Taliban education system or allowing it to be funded.

Two decades after the 9/11 Commission had warned about the dangers of the Madrassa system, the Biden administration and its donors may actually be helping to fund Islamic schools that will indoctrinate a new generation to hate and kill non-Muslims.

The Biden administration is not alone in this treasonous madness.

Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote an op-ed urging G-7 nations, a group that includes the US, to commit $8 billion to Afghan education even after the Taliban takeover of the country. "Aid should be distributed based on the work already done by UNICEF who to their great credit negotiated an agreement last December to cover 120,000 girls and to ensure they received home schooling in Taliban controlled areas," he argued.

The 120,000 number is nonsense. And with “ghost schools” a common phenomenon in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the actual number of students attending classes is unknown.

But more importantly throwing billions into a Taliban educational system is funding terrorism.

The Taliban has been known to “tax” teachers and non-profits. And when they select the teachers, they are bound to be either members of loyalist families, or those who have bribed them. Either way, funding schools controlled by the Taliban means funding the Taliban.

Tests, either of the teachers or students, are meaningless in a system controlled by the Taliban. Any metrics will be administered by the Taliban making them entirely worthless.

“Our obligation is to help the children of Afghanistan grow up to become the leaders of tomorrow,” Brown concluded. The question that he seems incapable of grappling with is the leaders of what? The current leaders of Afghanistan came out of Madrassas. And even if the Taliban go along with some sort of mass educational program for women, Iran, Pakistan, and Hamas have shown that Muslim women, just like men, can be indoctrinated to believe that their role in life is to raise children to kill non-Muslims or even to go ahead and carry out attacks.

The window when we might have helped educate the children of Afghanistan to believe anything else has closed. The Taliban won and their spoils include Afghanistan’s children.

The last thing we should be doing is funding the Taliban’s indoctrination efforts. Any money that the Taliban and its backers in Pakistan or Qatar spend on education is at least diverted from more direct forms of terrorism aimed at us. And the same holds true for all aid to Afghanistan.

The Taliban have taxed and regulated non-profits handing out aid in areas under their control. There’s every reason to believe that they will go on expecting Americans to feed their population even as they skim as much as they can from the millions in taxpayer money being used as aid.

Biden has claimed that he retreated from Afghanistan because the United States couldn’t keep spending money indefinitely on the failed country. And yet, as soon as he fled, abandoning Americans behind enemy lines, he’s spending another $64 million on Afghanistan.

And a percentage of that money will inevitably fall into the hands of Islamic terrorists.

America can pull out of Afghanistan, but our leaders refuse to stop funding the Taliban.
