USAID\u2019s Indefensible Ties to the Woke Nonprofits That Called the Shots in the Biden Regime<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
<\/div>\n

(Daily Signal<\/a>)\u2014The U.S. Agency for International Development wasn\u2019t just spending your hard-earned tax dollars on transgender operas overseas\u2014USAID also has troubling connections<\/a>\u00a0with the leftist pressure groups that infiltrated and advised the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

The book, \u201cThe Woketopus<\/a>: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,\u201d exposes the woke activist groups that fed staff into the administrative state and pushed woke policies on the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n

As President Donald Trump released information\u00a0about USAID\u2019s corruption<\/a>, I started to notice a few familiar names from my research.<\/p>\n

The American people should understand just how connected the woke enterprise is to the federal bureaucracy, and USAID provides a powerful example of those ties.<\/p>\n

What Is USAID?<\/h2>\n

While the acronym suggests USAID is about aid, it\u2019s really about soft power. President John F. Kennedy established USAID as a tool to fight Soviet Communism abroad, but in recent years, the agency has promoted the classic woke causes: critical race theory (the notion that America is systemically racist against blacks and favors whites and requires fundamental reform), climate alarmism, gender ideology, and a preference for technocratic government.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has highlighted USAID waste, particularly $1.5 million to advance \u201cdiversity, equity, and inclusion\u201d in Serbia\u2019s workplaces; $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia; and more. Others have highlighted grants such as\u00a0$20 million<\/a>\u00a0for an Arabic translation of Sesame Street and\u00a0$2 million<\/a>\u00a0for promoting sex changes in Guatemala.<\/p>\n

USAID has also spent $250 million on a Climate Finance for Development Accelerator<\/a>, aiming to \u201cmobilize $2.5 billion in public and private climate investments by 2030.\u201d The accelerator seeks to help countries meet their commitments in the Paris Climate Agreement, which the Trump administration rejected on the president\u2019s first day in office.<\/p>\n

These initiatives echo the spending of Hungarian American billionaire\u00a0George Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundations<\/a>, and that is no accident.<\/p>\n

The Soros Connection<\/h2>\n

The Open Society Foundations has bankrolled many of the leftist groups in the Woketopus, which staffed and advised the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Open Society Foundations has claimed<\/a>\u00a0that it does not receive funding from USAID or direct the funding of USAID, its ties to USAID are undeniable. Not only has Open Society funded the same projects as USAID, but its leaders met with former USAID Administrator Samantha Power at least twice, the Soros foundations network listed USAID among its \u201cdonor partners\u201d in 2001, and an Open Society nonprofit actually sued USAID twice, with the cases reaching the Supreme Court both times.<\/p>\n

USAID and Open Society Foundations jointly funded the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project\u2014an organization that attacked conservatives for criticizing Soros and that published the report that\u00a0sparked the first Trump impeachment<\/a>. USAID\u2019s connections to the project raise uncomfortable questions about whether the agency was trying to oust Trump.<\/p>\n

The Organized Crime Corruption and Reporting Project also attacked Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J.; Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah; and Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. These conservatives made the mistake of noticing that the U.S. Embassy to Macedonia had\u00a0selected Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundations<\/a>\u00a0as the main implementer for USAID projects in the Eastern European country.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa.<\/a>, USAID awarded a $2.54 million contract to Open Society for training in \u201ccivic activism,\u201d \u201cmobilization,\u201d and \u201ccivic engagement\u201d in Macedonia in February 2017.<\/p>\n

The East West Management Institute\u2014which has\u00a0long listed Open Society Foundations<\/a>\u00a0as a\u00a0donor and implementing partner<\/a>\u00a0and which received $31.2 million from USAID in the last full fiscal year ending on Sept. 30\u2014launched court changes<\/a>\u00a0in Albania that critics allege resulted in the prosecution of Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha, silencing the opponent of the country\u2019s socialist prime minister.<\/p>\n

As for its role in the Woketopus, Open Society Foundations or its partners, the Open Society Policy Center, the Open Society Institute, or the Foundation to Promote Open Society have funded:<\/p>\n
