Uncovering USAID Propaganda Mission
Reading Trump—Advice for Trump
The false narrative that the Ukraine War was an “unprovoked” invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, is now beginning to unravel, although the truth was plain to those who did not confine their facts, history, and analysis to the Cold-War-Think narrative that the Russian Federation is still the Soviet Union of 1945 to 1987. The real facts also recognized an important truth—approximately 40 percent of the population of pre-2014 Ukraine is ethnically and culturally either Russian (18%) or a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian (22%). The Russian Federation felt their national security was seriously threated when NATO, pushed by the US in 2008, targeted Ukraine and Georgia to become part of NATO. In 2014, the US under President Barack Obama, then VP Joe Biden, Asst. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and recent National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan backed a coup to overthrow the duly elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.

The Heroic Saga of the CSS Alabama, CSS Florida, and CSS Shenandoah

Confederate Navy Captain James D. Bulloch, the Confederate government agent who coordinated and supervised the building and launching of the Confederate cruisers Alabama, Florida, and Shenandoah in Liverpool is not a household name among Civil War buffs, but his accomplishments in building a formidable Confederate fleet of commerce raiders in England must be ranked among the most remarkable achievements for the Southern cause.

CIA-Related Agency for Color Revolutions and Regime Changes

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) may sound like the leading edge of a generous and enlightened US foreign Policy. It may have been just that when founded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. It’s original goal was to counter the influence of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and advance US foreign policy interests through socioeconomic development. It has in the past been funded by Congress as an independent Agency under the supervision of the President, Secretary of State, and National Security Council. Over the years it has become a largely secret and independent Deepstate agency tied to aggressive State Department foreign policy closely tied to the CIA. In this regard, it has evolved into an aggressive funder of Color Revolutions and regime changes designed to maintain US control of international affairs. Color Revolutions are US or allied attempts to overthrow, intimidate, or control nations out-of-step with US foreign and economic policy and assure US military dominance and hegemony. In recent years, USAID has also funded propaganda and training programs for pushing liberal gender ideology and Marxist DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusiveness) ideology. The fiscal year 2025 Congressional budget for USAID is about $40 billion but has been subject only to limited Congressional control.

An Insane Interpretation of an Invalid Amendment

Following the great tragedy of the “Civil War” and the assassination of President Lincoln in April of 1865, national leadership was largely in the hands of a Congress dominated by the “Radical Republicans.” This powerful faction of the Republican majority undermined the new President, Andrew Johnson, at every opportunity, and had little regard for the Supreme Court. They considered the Constitution to be an inconvenience and the Supreme Court to be an annoyance to the will of the people accomplished by Congress. States Rights, having been defeated by the coercion of bayonets, was no longer an effective check on federal power.

Deep State Propaganda versus Truth

President Donald Trump held an impromptu press conference in the Oval Office after the Inauguration ceremonies on January 20. On a press question about Ukraine, he claimed the Ukrainians had lost 700,000 dead, and the Russians had lost over a million dead. The Ukrainian estimate may be fairly accurate, but the Russian estimate was preposterous to anyone who has followed the detail of the Ukraine War and is not a propaganda dupe of the Ukrainian government, the Biden Administration, Deep State, or the captive mainstream media. Who fed Trump this Deep State bunk and why, when he needs and the nation needs hard truth?
