Effective Friday All USAID Employees Officially Placed on Administrative Leave


Posted originally on the CTH on February 5, 2025 | Sundance 

The following message is the only message on the landing site of USAID.Gov

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service.”

The American people have only just begun to discover what the USAID operation was all about.  Many people thought it was a charitable enterprise and are only just now realizing it was something else entirely.

Historically we discussed how USAID was actually the front group for CIA influence operations globally.  The intelligence community aspect is only just beginning to be discovered by the American people.  However, in keeping with the theme, multiple U.S. leftist media outlets were also funded by USAID as part of their information control mission.

Yes, USAID is a ball of worms.

Why the Dems Could Not Rig the 2024 Election


Posted originally on Feb 5, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Rigged Elections

QUESTION: Why did the Democrats fail to right the 2024 election?

Jed

The 2020_Coup 2

ANSWER: They did not have Pelosi. The person overseeing the vote is the Speaker of the House, who, this time, was a Republican. The rigging did come at the state level, but that was not the real coup. The real corruption came on January 6th when those behind the curtain instigated the January 6th “Insurrection” that allowed Pelosi to impose (1) emergency rules and (2) her COVID rules to limit the number of people on the floor to 53 when any challenge is to be debated before the entire Congress. Some states were to be challenged, and even if one were reversed, as they just did in Romania, then Biden would have lost.

Biden’s popular vote total 81,283,501 was even larger in 2020 than Obama’s. Nobody believes he inspired more people to vote than Obama. Biden’s vote in 2020 was even larger than Trump’s in 2024 of 77,303,573. Nobody I know of believes Biden had such a vote in 2020.

Johnson Michael 56th Speaker

Therefore, I warned ahead of the election on various interviews that our computer was showing this would be “too big to rig.” Indeed, Trump won the popular vote, but also all seven swing states. First, there was no state that the Democrats could have challenged. But more importantly, the current Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, prevented them from playing games with rules as Pelosi did to make sure Biden won.

stalincountthevote

As Joseph Stalin pointed out, people can vote for whoever or whatever they want. The person who decides the vote is the person who counts the votes – that was Pelosi in 2020. She should be indicted for her actions on January 6th, put on trial, and let the jury decide her guilt. I am shocked that Warren Buffet has not tapped her on the shoulder to replace him since her track record in trading and investing beat Buffet – Pelosi the Investor of the Century!

DOGE Investigates Treasury Department

The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is tracing the long, complex trail of government spending. US taxpayers deserve to know where their money is spent. The US Treasury Department should be able to provide a clear account of government spending as it is responsible for processing trillions in government payments per year. It has been revealed that the US Treasury has not been doing its part.

Americans provide the US Treasury Department with their hard-earned dollars every tax season, and throughout the year for that matter. The agency is tasked with managing the government’s finances, paying all government bills, and collecting taxes and duties. It supervises national banks and thrift institutions. The agency is supposed to aid in guiding international policy and maintaining relationships with foreign institutions and governments to maintain economic stability globally.

Who is in charge? Top civil servant at the Treasury, David Lebryk, unexpectedly left his office as soon as the DOGE investigation began. Lebryk forfeited his government pension and career instead of complying. He has since been replaced by Scott Bessent who has provided DOGE with access to the federal payments system.

Electronic Dollar Digital

As it turns out, the Treasury Department has not denied a request for payment in 22 years. So whenever a bureaucrat or government official wanted the Treasury Department to pay for something, the answer was always YES. Musk recently accused Treasury officials of “breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress.”

The establishment does not want transparency. Senator Elizabeth Warren penned a letter to Bessent to express her concern over the investigation. “It is extraordinarily dangerous to meddle with the critical systems that process trillions of dollars of transactions each year, are essential to preventing a default on federal debt, and ensure that tens of millions of Americans receive their Social Security checks, tax refunds and Medicare benefits,” wrote Ms. Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee.

What are they hiding? Every search result will provide you with reasons why DOGE should not investigate the Treasury. Yet, funding revealed by independent watchdog agencies already provides us some insight.

RealClear Investigations found that the department paid out $1.3 billion in federal benefits to deceased individuals. FEMA has been granted $70 billion to pay for COVID-19 costs through 2026, but there is no current pandemic. Open the Books found that $38.7 million was spent on DEI hires. It has been revealed that IRS employees are above the law and owed a collective $50 million in unpaid taxes in 2023. Then we have asinine spending on programs like the dangerous National Institutes of Health. The US Treasury sent the NIH $33 million to operate a small island to study monkey behavior, and provided them an additional $3.7 million to research gambling behavior in monkeys. The University of Michigan received $12 million to test methamphetamine on monkeys, and a lab in Florida was awarded $477,000 to toy with hormones and create transgender monkeys.

People are outraged that Musk and his team have access to the US financial system, but what on Earth were the people with prior access permitting? Everyone with access has passed the same clearances and background checks. Amid America’s debt crisis it is paramount to provide transparency to the people. This search is trickling into other agencies as we are seeing with the likes of USAID. Perhaps this will be the term that Trump actually drains the swamp.

Canadian Tariffs Delayed – WHY?

Canada has followed Mexico in a recent move to expand border security to temporarily delay tariffs. Justin Trudeau announced that $1.3 billion will go into a border plan, including new technology, equipment, and personnel. Trudeau said he will be appointing a Fentanyl Czar to oversee drug enforcement and will spend C$200 million on a new intelligence directive to handle drug-related crimes.

The peculiar aspect is that ALL of this was agreed upon last year. Public Safety Canada published “The Government of Canada’s Border Plan: significant investments to strengthen border security and our immigration system” on December 18, 2024, outlining the same plan to inject C$1.3 billion into US-Canada border security.

As the agency noted:

“Canada is investing $1.3 billion to bolster security at the border and strengthen the immigration system, all while keeping Canadians safe. This includes $667.5M for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, $355.4M for the Canada Border Services Agency, $180M over 6 years for the Communications Security Establishment, $77.7M for Health Canada, and $20M over five years for Public Safety Canada.”

The initial proposal did not include a specified Fentanyl Czar but Canada had agreed to increase border security significantly. Days ago, Canada was planning to implement retaliatory tariffs specifically against Republican-led states. The press is cheering this news as a victory for Trump, but I fail to see what measures have changed aside from Canada expediting its border security pl21,889 pounds of fentanyl an.

The fentanyl crisis with Canada has been overstated. America seized 43 pounds of fentanyl last year, amounting to 0.2% of all fentanyl seized last year. Mexico, on the other hand, was responsible for 96.6% of fentanyl seized at the border or 21,158 pounds. The amount of fentanyl seized at the Canadian border did increase from 2023, but only by 2 lbs.

Were the tariffs a bluff? The markets do not like this volatility. The central banks will not appreciate this confusion as they have no way of knowing how to move forward with these tariffs up in the air. The central banks are always attempting to interpret future geopolitical events, and it is nearly impossible for them to do so when massive plans change at the eleventh hour. And what about the companies who need to price in these tariffs? Will they be forced to do so preemptively?

If Trump’s concern is genuinely about securing the border, then Trump has won. Mexico and Canada are working to secure the border as promised immediately. If his concern is to bring manufacturing back to America, then we have a bigger problem on our hands. Canada is simply making good on their promise from last year, but this is not a new development. Trade between the former alliance will become clearer once the USMCA deal is renegotiated.
