For Years, the Lepanto Institute has been exposing the tight working relationship between USAID and the U.S. Bishops.
Since the swearing-in of Donald Trump in 2016, the American populace has had frontline seats to the drama of a “state behind the state” slowly revealing itself.
From the outer fringes of the media, the precincts of Glenn Beck and Alex Jones, the Deep State went from being careless to brash in the process of trying to remove a sitting president and quell the groundswell of a constitutionally conservative movement.
The revealing of the Deep State is now in full overdrive as the Trump administration has the let loose the instruments of sanitation.
One of the many questions about collusion and corruption in the political machinery of Washington D.C. is about “the money.” How is that members of Congress become immensely wealthy to the tune of tens of millions of dollars on a salary of less than $200,000?
Give the massive corruption and scandal involved in the billions of dollars given to NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration, what are the instruments by which we are funding NGOs? Do members of Congress involved in this money funneling? What else are taxpayers funding under the guise of “humanitarian aid?”

Unfettered Instrument of Taxpayer Money Distribution
The USAID organization is a governmental agency in charge of distributing foreign aid and development assistance (whatever that broad umbrella term may mean) to various countries in need.

Mike Benz, the director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, has revealed a torrent of mind-numbing information about the activity and connections of USAID money flow. As a former State Department official responsible for informing US foreign policy on technology matters, Benz is most certainly an expert on all things big tech, and he is also a big picture thinker who understands the inner workings of governance.
Buckle up: Benz has revealed many USAID connections, and here are some of the more eye-popping examples that you should consider carefully.
You Were Funding Your Own Censorship
USAID helped fund the internet censorship we endured from the 2020 election through the throes of the pandemic. As Benz describes it, USAID had written policies relative to funding organizations that stop online “misinformation and political populism.”
Let that sink in.
