the, the, just a ball of worms, a lot of much calls to wipe out the us agency for international development and institution known for its efforts to remap the world through close and chaos. glover as well as he claims he has no idea where most of the money sent by the by the government for ukraine has gone. that says the suspension of foreign aid by the true white house has officials worried in p. a and south africa firmly dismissed as donald trump threats to cut off with us about 90 per toria in defense of new land grab law. the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow here watching archie international. we began with

the quagmire over where us taxpayer money is going. head of the newly established department of government officials to eli musket says the us agency of international development must be shut down because it's impossible to fix and yours. sadie is a ball of want me right there is no apple and when there is no apple this, this, you just gotta basically get rid of the whole thing while spar for the us a i d ones, one of washington's most feared foreign policy tools. and now, pardon me, in need of aid itself, why? because it's found itself in the process of both the us, president honest, we just had the world's richest mind. the trauma read has been building ever since trump took off that sweetie food. hundreds of its employees helping fired its ability to defend funds has been frozen for 90 days. uh its website was put offline its twits, a page went dock and now apparently most wants to bury it. uh, so he's really taking his,

his new job seriously. the final school seems to have been to him when to members of his cost cotton team tried to gain access to a part of the agencies headquarters in d. c. they were actually denied entry apparently because of lack of security clearance as a result to top officials about she's been put on leave. and now we've got all these room is a corruption, even criminality swelling. and the agency really doesn't do anything to debunk these occupations with behavior like this. there were going to support humanitarian efforts and in ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. so it's quite the food from grace, full usa id, which of course has been long

a daunting of the american political it. it must really is not missing words when he does his discussing usaa. you've talked in broad terms about criminality and corruption. do you have any specifics? well, the one who's talking a detailed provide to the notice he's been watching on teeth the last couple of years as relates to us, a i d 's involvement in. and i'm going to be very generous here. global health initiatives. did you know that us aid using your tax dollars funded by a weapon research, including cobit 19 that killed millions of people? well, this is significant why it's significant because often tool now from the u. s. it has been denied deny to not most famously inventory and un to deny that the pentagon that and it denied defend yes. okay. we do support in system robson, ukraine and africa, for example. personal for the good of mankind were developing vaccines with ensuring that there's no outbreak of infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more sinister. he's saying,

but that research was about creating weapons of pool of mass destruction. this is something that must go, has been warning about for years now, and in fact, it's full. but one of the main reasons that one of russia's top generals was assassinated at the end of last year was precisely because he was at the forefront of exposing this us government sponsored abuse of dangerous passages. which if nice could re total, how the con, the welsh. yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa idea? it's an agency agency that really is no stranger to controversy. no, i mean it is a for an age, but he must its functions and over a $150.00 countries it's got a bunch of nitty $50000000000.00. basically it hands out money so it dissolves to release of fighting poverty. but also, and this is where it gets the controversial, it channels funds into civil activism. our claims, of course, is the one about promoting democracy. it's

a empowering the people. but the issue is, who incidentally, us a id choose is to empower people in nations. what government policies don't align with american and trust and co, incidentally way us cash slows very often mass protests and sometimes even crews take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's ukraine, usa, i. d had been active, that's the over 2 decades. and it's what really culminated in the 2014 my done crew . this was admitted by r s. k junior, the nephew of the very man who actually found to be agency j, f k u as a id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the a, to a could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine, a mazda before that comment is over on victoria new and you know,

the part of the center piece of the economy. audiology and who is now a high level official and the state department has a secret call with the us and passenger, which is tape record and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the u. k. u party and it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global need does have accused usa idea of really pushing for that. a doubtful. i mean, just to highlight reel by the rest of the 2020 mass protest us sponsoring of position groups incentives, way not. it was actually kicks out of bolivia by as president morales up to here on campus. they had been funding set protest groups and some of the nations which just regions lots of listing. but let's not forget, it was also impact stone and syria. and i'm actually when the agencies burying a torres had some of the powers, visited budapest, hungary,

the suppose is your pin nation, which does not tow the line. we know one issues like bell g, b, t, or ukraine put to just to erupt of saying 0 color red produce an incoming. last but not least, we have georgia, the american tax payers money cannot be used to organize a revolution in georgia. do you remember the canvas training when representatives of the cultural spear were trained to organize a revolution in georgia? us a id, money was used specifically for this. the trump administration stated that american funding, american tax payer money was being used to destabilize the situation in other countries. and to create revolutionary scenarios, we can save time on again, why usa i take pops up very close behind, very often as instability and often violence. becky, of course the question i what point this, coincidence become a pass and at what point does a pattern become a strategy? yeah, so you mentioned the strategy strategy requires money. what,

what are the numbers we're talking about here? let's put it this way. what i meant, i'm going you put your head double up, put triplet times it by 10 us a id is one of washington's most well funded offices. usaid by the use of $50000000000.00 budget. the entirety of the intelligence community is only 72000000000. so it is as more than the c i a and more than the state department. wow. and 8 is basically as usaid is effectively a switch player to, to assist the pentagon with, with it on the national security front to assist the state department on the national interest front. or to assist the intelligence community on a, on a sort of clandestine operations. now people might accuse me of cynicism, they say no to usa idea, it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power point a 6 is not one of self. smith's, it is a game of the new frame of looking for weak spot. so investing and then guaranteeing a return on your investment us a id is a norm, as budget is

a reflection, supposed to be the greatest reflection of the senate for role. but it has played in manifesting some of the white house's greatest dreams of shaping the world as best suits washington's interest. it isn't on that scots in the open office and spread floating around the world. so you chop off the on the power of hearing for office diminishes. that is why this is such a big story. and that is why walks and regime change and sees yes in dc up and all those cross to now to the goes to kara, author and journalist at misty on their dad website. diego, they did have you on the program with us us. a date has reportedly been financing opposition and protest groups repeatedly including those in venezuela and this allegedly has been going on for years. why do you think the us has considering shutting everything down and now kind of seems to get kind of

sense that nothing is sacred for them now except for some few things. right. but, and it's kind of amusing also to see all the reactions having all the product mode it's created for many, many places. but i do think it's basically well and efficiency matter, financially speaking and also the product will overall, the whole, the reading change the industrial competent making more effective and more you can still see these trucks because of the amount of what they are. they found itself in hot water when a 2019 audit found the 8 had actually been blocked on the bench as well and border that was not quote aligned with humanitarian purposes at a time when protests were rocking the country. what rule did the usa id play in anti government actions and then as well, you think, well, you know, 1st of all, the sometimes directly, sometimes thing directly,

there was an ice vision of a was also part of the squandering and part of the one build up the dependent of the shadow government, a lot of the, the coordinates of beneficiaries were actually part of the leadership of the, of the shadow government to think of under for the north is one way to go lead him being tardy and so on. but also before that, especially before the 2018 eh, it was i want to try aggravated resources through the european union in general. so of course many, many of the privilege, one of the words is phase. it stated that it was, was a release or what's, what not it. but it also came with many source of training and also created capacity building for many actors. and also mean 2021 report has shown that only 2 percent of us a id, humanitarian aid sent to venezuela actually reached the country. why is that?

what happened to all this aid as well? it was basically good. first it was gatekeeping been squandered and was distributed among these people precisely. i mean, the oldest people are more in a very uncomfortable position. i'm talking about the white all eh, part of the structure one more time. i'm talking about all the high figures of the main stream. your ways are lines your subordinate us surrogate opposition in minnesota. and this also involves, of course, people who might, according to much trouble, but mind you, this will even be young. this is part because you actually created all this economic interest structure around the humanitarian crisis. they, they themselves, where they're wanting to get promoted to eh, and also be creating a whole lot of the check points. and let me check points on how to drift out of the migration migrating situation. i mean, these people also, for example,

have many from salt and see an officer to manage privately to get. but it's when the citizens there is some sort of migrant regulation of use. and then you have had in new york some sort of decent, green card or whatever. so it was basically corruption. i mean, that's precisely the funny thing is that i'm not since the 2021, the inspector general report is not which by the way on your final bill was 11 of the 1st one to review it. it hasn't been so obvious what it was already clear from anybody without this, this huge, this massive smoking drug. how would shut down of usa idea affect us policy toward venezuela? and i see we're having like a very short temporary, fun time regarding them, how it's going to what, what's going to be regarding the renter's sort of us relationship. we had a very 1st, very interesting spirit since last week. but in one thing, it's quite clear, at least for now,

it seems that the troubling ministration of the 2nd from a decision, it's not going to rely so heavily precisely on offices and not just like the ones that drifted from the usa. i did not only him for that reason for but for many others, according to that for the financial times there once visits plus they signed it because basically they were a bunch of losers, which is also true, but it's also quite effective and stealing money. so it's, it's still developing the way the religion is going to be fine and stabilized. i'm not hoping nearly for the best, but at least it seems that going to be more straightforward, rather candid childs. and that's something, at least at this point with a few things regarding be especially open since we got the customer and we are fully don't know what went into the conversation between good and man richard and mailing our president last friday. but it certainly is a difference, a major difference between the change of tone and what he has been for the last 25

years. okay, we're going to wait and say that day goes to kara, author and journalist admissions are the website. thank you. thank you. ok of the main recipient of usa id grabs since they print complex. again has been riled by the trump white house. the suspension of for an aides and a lot of my zalinski is demanding more money. but when asked by american journalist where all the cash flow during the biden presidency has gone crazy, a later time to hasn't actually seen most of the reported funds the jungle julia i here i'd have heard before. would you mind today we hear from the us on that america gave ukraine hundreds of billions, allow a 177000000000 to be precise. this was the exact figure that was supported or voted on by congress and various organizations not look as the president of a war and country. i tell you, we have received more than 75. that is,

we never received 100000000000 out of these 177, or even 200 and some people say, this is important. i don't know where all that money is. royce. so where has the money gone? according to reports, in crane has been riddled with corruption since the might onto in 2014, when billions and western financial aid to poured into key of another area for alarm is the blocked market. depended on by its own admission, has repeatedly failed to track the weapons sent to crane with those arms packages for quarterly flooding europe and being illegally traded. and it appears a large portion of the dollars allocated for ukraine never crosses, american borders, reports, signing, official, us documents say, a major portion goes to us defense industries raising further concerns about misappropriation. we discussed the complexities with our to contributor tar read. that's a lot of money now. some of the money was actual weapons,

so they were given weapons. even those weapons were gone and we've done stories about talking about how, where are those weapons they didn't make it to crank, then they to find out they were sold on the black market and some ended up in europe. so you have a nest of corruption, right? now and of course you have zelinski at the top of it. now he knows there's a new sheriff in town. donald trump. and so donald trump's going to be asking some questions about where is that $100000000000.00? so yes, there is money there, so you're talking about defense contractors. you're talking about n g o is that were funded, you know, that were fueled by the democrats. you're talking about, um, you know, politicians that personally benefit lindsey graham. and many of them sit on the boards of some of these weapons when you've manufacturer, so they personally benefit. they also make trades and the ones that are public. so you're talking a lot of money that's changing hands. and then also there's been money that's gone over to ukraine, that has disappeared and gone into pockets and shown up in the form of like

lamborghini is with some of these ukrainian oligarchy. you have an illegitimate president and ukraine. there's been no elections held. he's obviously, you know, as a tucker, carlson referred to him a little dictator. and so for him, she just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear. making for us now to monica verma, stride and strategic affairs expert at ne, a christian university in india, monica last months. india is ruling a party of the beach. i p accused american institutions including usa id of trying to destabilize the country by financing opposition activities. how deep is usa id involvement in domestic public politics of india and, and what have been the results of that involvement? all right, if you look at the last, uh, you know, more than danielle is that the more the government has been in by the opposition has indeed that split it to come back to bob. because, you know,

just put it because i'd be back on board india for the most part. i'll put them both independence, pc, i guess, put it all position meet with our us aid, which is very, very, very much interested. and you know, they're very excited about doing that. i think the total population in the does with in for the good. okay. not the same. yeah. but if you look at the political support, i think every single country, especially, people can look at me. but i'm butler, they have on the long something that we can do the i have always warned. in fact, a lot of people have been saying these things even before ellen must and don't, they're comfortable. but, and they started questioning us a activities there with a bunch of people in the event who was saying that look also then joined the list. so then, and actually look back to the so done and deal on a bible says next the bed, the, the, the indicted foreign policy of development and citizens one day then some other data for sending the human rights to the guard of the government to all these things are taking place which i think of in a democracy. there's always basically it's for balance,

criticism and justified criticism. but what that is not well with the space is supporting with, you know, you're trying to get external ab doesn't void in on keeping up properly elect, orderly, elected them all good to go make. i think there is where i think that really lucky . but unfortunately, we have no back to what happened in butler, they to go to look back what happened to me, but, and they, but he, i, i would like to highlight an example on your show that a new link to and got his iep. i'm only a mile away from there, he was ongoing, and this is something which is funded by the united states. now, it's not something which has to do directive and politics. but as all the time, those who look at these deals, new volleyball is that he can do so sorry to be one of the only other except during the time 3 weeks. therefore those are baptism, vandalism. so this is a peaceful made it sort of, uh uh you know, uh the uh, side door to get you to act in politics and then dictates. um, so i take uh, in and out. and so, so it was, i wanna know if i,

if i could just jump in real quickly. um, is this decision to shut down usa idea? is that being met positively in india as seen as having a positive impact on the country. the o. c. o and image with because we are the mobility disa disability is going to be there. we have a very, very little setting up position. so do you see we have a very strong this and then we'll proceed. so to say, but the other kind of activities that us a board support they, it's something that i don't thing to go down with and you developing countries, so that my bill, but that it doesn't, don't any of that going to be because, you know, um i don't know how many of you have followed that in the slot or you have no, but uh the you don't, there was this issue of you put in the shell board and you got to pay the cost down, which was not similar to what the, which $1.00 did something that that's all the problem with. and i back time i remember the victorian unit and she made all you me to the point. in fact, it was on the evil foot board of what she and you went to do it. and you had said that you're not going to going to invest. yeah. because look,

all the have be paid by is with no she already have bought this a good relations and we are, we've always been baseball clubs. i to the day to day. and then she made it a point to look at all those countries, including india, by monday, and she loves off, and she came to the sunday. then she said that, you know, she engaged journalists and india, especially a section of media. but there's not a flight of, you know, interested in more than the ones we just didn't like the reason. so at that time, i remember many years, but why what i've been doing and digging on in bellevue and they would also are going somewhere that, you know, in days mixed up, betty o, a problem, i think choice. so i okay this, this is the place all of foreign policy. i think anybody can do that to have that space off having an independent board and forwarded me your discount. we sent them . people in the name of us have been been dictating comes to us. yeah. so monica, and you brought up the crane um the war and ukraine um, blood rear zalinski of course is the top 8 recipient recipient from the us. and he's just recently said that he can't account for

a $100000000000.00 of the dollars that the us has allocated for you praying. do you think that this is a unique case? you think us funding? i'm often there was an accounting for abroad and of course many people are, you know, since the day when we are leasing many people who are the open source intelligence look and again they've been trying to do a bid on this usa. money has been going. i'm do withdrawal, all of that. it's pretty so it's pushes because, you know, even if you divide them into sub headsets up i was going to so thank you some of the night additional things like that. there's still a lot of money with the i'm but the only is, you know, it's going on for the into and all the nations and it's very easy. um, it's a, i don't know, but i shouldn't be saying this under that can be, i don't know how much you guys would be invested in and into what's important. but right now all election is taking place, you know, in a particular state and into i'm investing the, you know, the opponent because barbie, the just providing data to the full the i do get here in minnesota,

simon again saying that the provider, so i'm going to be good with you with a dog with, you know, scholarship that the us was funding. now it is very interesting that how the lever does have been given these partnerships by a, by the oversee, by the minutes the intervention. so i think be think really once that on ground was that they obviously, you know, i can be used for any purpose. so you can on the letter is not a one. ok that's, that's true for most of the aid that we did not just send over another. there's nothing countries. all right, we're gonna leave with our monica verma strategic affairs, expedite ne christian university in india. monica, thank you so much for now to south africa. we're an ongoing disagreement over land reform policy has washington and for toria, facing off, south africa's president has firmly defended a new expropriation act and saying it aligns with the countries constitutional democracy. while us president donald trump has threatened to cut off funding it to

the nation, trump has concerns over our lives, land confiscation, that echo his past administrations criticisms. and this demanding the south african policy is being looked into. in south africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people very badly. it is a bad situation that the radical left media doesn't want to so much as mention a massive human rights violation at a minimum is happening for all to see. the united states won't stand for it, we will act also. i will be cutting off all future funding to south africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed. one would hope that the present time for would try to understand the facts and the realities of off the situation. in south africa, ross is and repeating, disturbing racially device of talking points like it is right now. but having to send to that's responsible. i'm present on a post in south africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law,

justice and equality. the south african government has not confiscated any land. the recently adopted expropriation act is not a confiscation instrument, but the constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution. south africa like the united states of america and other countries has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners. we look forward to engaging with the trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. we are certain that out of those engagements, we will share a better and common understanding over these matters. so who's off this 112 se, go way back into so that because colonial cost, when a small white to minority house power, one crucial way the wife government preserved that power was through a native land act, which was a lot of the band black people from acquiring agricultural land beyond issue

reserves, the effects of that and as the laws can still be solved even to this day, office of africa became a majority, black and government tonight. and then the full one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts of this time being a beat, a rather put muted, to compare to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate comments. this is who fears so much for all these for you know that i don't know what to do with the the what is

the problem the toner has really changed from that to end in this recent response. i'm a pull us as also clarify. that's american aid is a minor part of the countries financial landscape. we do know that that africa is a major beneficiary off us funding. and the, the emergency plan for a release, and that funding was a really and the suite of the donald trump's freeze on foreign aid across the country rather across the world. but other than that, to the prisons office, says there is no other significant funding that is provided by the united states in south africa. and i guess the funding part to offer to really provoke a reaction from the leaders in the country as well as the have to us. that is that if they don't give us money the minute us. but it is a data allowing me to say, why withdrawing funding? no, we're minute as independent and level with something that we have. well,

not us back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned to the new rule, making it easier for the state to expropriate land subject for, for us to see a compensation paid for the program or rather, the government also that forgot is pushing a new plans to extend the rates of the redistribution of land. the plan has of course, important issue of critics who, who have condemned it as a policy rooted in hospitality towards why 5 minutes is not true. and right now the amc really pushing at and try to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to increase racially, an equal that own this patches dating back to a pot, tate and the supply. so keep responses from the leaders in the country. the treat has already made some sort of an impact. the country's privacy open the day quite high off to those remarks from prison. trump, which means that it has

a several investors already. we bought land reform in the south african country, the right to stay with us here on our to international. i'm back with much more news and half an hour. i'll see you then by the in 1960 the americans rollers, the huge bellwether operation documents. most of the, of the reading found that way online the us army chemical, coal research and development combined in june 1960, directed the dugway proving ground utah to investigate and develop into more logical field testing techniques designed to permit the quantity of a valuation of intimate logical munitions, these tests formed the basis for developing offensive biological weapons. no withstanding that in april 1972 the us britain and the service.
