It’s been hard to keep up with the torrent of information spewing from DOGE’s deep dives into the federal budget. Even before that, it was obvious that a far-left, anti-Republican, anti-Trump, Democratic Media Complex was engaged in system preference falsification to pump up leftwing ideas to make them look more popular than they were. From the Russian collusion hoax to the “fine people on both sides” gaslighting to Hunter Biden’s laptop to the lab leak hypothesis to January 6 being an “insurrection” to Biden’s cogitative decline to the Democratic Party bypassing primaries entirely to foist an unpopular candidate off on the American public, a compliant, left-leaning media was always there to reinforce The Narrative, no matter how false.
Conservatives have long wondering who was paying to pump up this leftwing reality bubble, and now we know: the American taxpayer.
Yesterday’s report that the US government has been funding outlets such as Politico, the Associated Press, the BBC, and others raised more questions than it answered – though the obvious implication is that the US government has effectively been propping up regime-friendly media, which then peddles regime-friendly coverage – and spent years attacking independent outlets such as ZeroHedge, The Federalist, and many unlucky ones who have since been starved out of business….
And while funding for Politico and others has come from all over the federal government – WikiLeaks, citing a RSF report, highlighted that USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 “media” NGOs.
About Politico:
Guess which outlet the Biden campaign and intel officials solicited the laptop letter story to? https://t.co/hkV7BqXSsf pic.twitter.com/efzfLGYCVH

Why the hell are American taxpayers subsidizing the BBC, the outlet literally funded and controlled by a foreign government?
And all these are revelations from just one agency.
Democrats haven’t been robbing Peter to pay Paul, they’ve been robbing Peter to pay themselves to lie to American taxpayers about their own crimes.

Elon Musk’s whiz kids are demonstrating the ability of LLM AI to penetrate the deliberate obscurity used by federal mandarins to conceal thieving, propaganda, and incompetence.
You are going to find out that the CIA has been manipulating public opinion and distorting facts via USAID since at least Zero’s administration. The outlines of their latest campaigns to subvert conservative politicians and policies are already apparent.
The whiz kids need to write up their techniques so LLM AI inquiries can be extended to every unit of government in the land.
American taxpayers are subsidizing this because up until the DOGE boys kicked over the anthill, the taxpayers were unaware it was happening. Now we know. The real question is what do we do going forward. Can’t just walk away and let nothing adverse happen to the perpetrators, even if it does stop. Because if punishment is not administered, it will happen again. We need to make the consequences of this behavior so painful no one ever will consider doing this in the future.
One wonders whether Obama was told about this sort of activity being done and then issued his executive order permitting our foreign intelligence to operate domestically as a sort of legal cover, or did the spooks actually play within the letter of the law and only start this afterwards?
I’m inclined to believe the former, but unfair bias can just be the result of a stand-alone complex.
Does anyone expect anyone will go to jail for these crimes?
Lee Williams has posted a preliminary study of USAID funding pathways to gun control groups such as Everytown. You can view it at the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project page.
The USAID cutout to gun control groups is NEO Philanthropy, a Manhattan-based 501(c)(3) “charity” which launders about $ 140 million a year in USAID money.
Next is the Defense Dept /Pentagon. Look into failed ship building programs like the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and the Zumwalt class, cost overruns and delays in ship repair/overhaul docks and facilities, and the shortage of spare parts for ships and aircraft. We can’t even upkeep hangars and buildings. We’re a shell of a once great military force. Keep the DOGE rolling! Once said and done those ‘kids’ should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and be proclaimed “the youngest ever..”
I’ve been blaming Soros all this time only to find out we’ve been funding him as well.
