Donald Trump commissioned an audit of the federal government.
That has Permanent Washington freaking out.
And American taxpayer dollars were thrown down the drain for one project that will have you seeing red.
George Soros getting millions from USAID
Donald Trump touched a third rail by going after the funding mechanism of the Washington, D.C., Swamp.
He appointed Elon Musk to run the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to hunt for waste, fraud, and abuse inside the federal government.
It turns out that there’s a lot of it.
One of the most eye-opening discoveries for the American people was funding for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The acronym has tricked many people into thinking that USAID simply engages in humanitarian efforts.
In reality, USAID is a funding source for operations run by the CIA, the State Department, and the Pentagon.
And USAID operates with very little oversight.
Mike Benz, who worked in the cyber division of the State Department in the first Trump administration, has been instrumental in uncovering the dirty deeds committed by USAID.
He recently explained on social media how USAID gave $5 million to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation in order to distribute copies of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals in Macedonia.
Alinksy’s book has become canon for left-wing activists.
USAID builds up assets for street protests and other forms of agitation in foreign countries with methods like this.
Your tax money was spent giving millions to a billionaire so he could mass distribute to kids in Eastern Europe a Rent-A-Riot handbook whose first page contains a personal dedication to Satan. https://t.co/Yiomm3XeQN pic.twitter.com/EbvRJLO2BS

Foreign policy operations
As Benz put it, taxpayer dollars are being funneled around the globe to pay for rent-a-riots in foreign countries.
Many color-coded revolutions around the world, particularly in Eastern Europe, are funded by cutouts like USAID or the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which was specifically created in 1983 to be a public-facing arm of the CIA.
Benz was quoting from a December 2017 Capital Research Center piece that read, “One example is the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)’s reported meddling in Macedonia’s elections in 2016. According to USAID’s website, between February 27, 2012 and August 31, 2016, the agency gave $4,819,125 to Open Society Foundations – Macedonia. In April, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the State Department and USAID, for failing to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records and communications dealing with the funding and political activities of OSF’s Macedonian arm. Judicial Watch reported that with the help of then-President Barack Obama’s U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, Jess L. Baily, the U.S. government spent ‘millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding’ with Soros.”
Looking under the hood of USAID has been difficult.
However, Trump and Musk finally shined a light on the organization.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that 83% of funding to USAID programs would be cut.
Rubio recently complained of his frustration when he was a Senator and he was unable to get straight answers from USAID regarding funding.
