Recently, I wrote about the increasing scrutiny facing nonprofit and NGO organizations that receive substantial amounts of taxpayer money to carry out partisan and politically motivated activities, all presented under the guise of philanthropy. Despite the outcry from the connected Left over the withdrawal of their funding, the rationale for denying them taxpayer dollars is becoming clearer every day.

President Trump has embarked on what he describes as a mission to dismantle the Deep State, with his latest focus being the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Radical Leftist and Obama holdover Samantha Power, the wife of Cass Sunstein, the co-author of the political book on transformative activism, Nudge, lead the USAID until January 20, 2025.

Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration, has criticized USAID, calling it a "ball of worms. " This indicates a network of corruption that permeates the organization far beyond mere individual cases of misconduct.

Musk emphasized in a recording shared on X:

“As we dug into USAID, it became clear that this isn’t just an apple with a worm in it; we are dealing with a ball of worms. If you find a worm in an apple, you can remove it. But with a ball of worms, there’s no saving it. USAID is unfixable. There’s no apple left; it's just worms. It needs to be completely eradicated. It's beyond any repair.”

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) outlined how the USAID has been “stonewalling” her office for years as she sought documents to audit and account for taxpayer dollars wasted at the agency:

“USAID’s spending shows a blatant disregard for the wishes of American taxpayers, and it is time to disrupt the system. The agency has been wasting millions of tax dollars on things like tourism in Lebanon, Sesame Street in Iraq, sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week and so much more…No more stonewalling,. We need to scrutinize every last dollar being spent by this rogue agency.”

The involvement of Bill Kristol, a known anti-Trump figure who has received millions from USAID, casts serious doubt on the agency's neutrality and suggests it might be driven by political vendettas. Mike Benz has highlighted how USAID has allegedly funded prosecutors targeting Trump, like Alvin Bragg, through entities such as Fair & Just Prosecution (FJP), which is significantly funded by both USAID and the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).

FJP, which operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Tides Center, is supported not only by USAID but also benefits significantly from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) led by George Soros. "They're more than just Soros prosecutors; they're prosecutors linked to USAID," Benz emphasizes, highlighting the substantial impact these organizations exert on American legal proceedings.

In 1991, an operative associated with the Defense Intelligence Agency, who will remain nameless due to the sensitive nature of this information, indicated that Teresa Heinz Kerry (the wife of former US Secretary of State and failed Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry) was deeply connected then and likely still is through the dark money channels that rule the Deep State funding machine.

“One of the heads of this multi-headed hydra was Sor
