![KanekoaTheGreat's tweet photo. A 2006 archived USAID website proudly claims the agency "supported" revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Lebanon, and Kyrgyzstan.
USAID funded and trained thousands of journalists, lawyers, judges, and election workers, conducted polls questioning election legitimacy, published reports alleging fraud, and helped oversee new elections, among other initiatives.
"Many people watched in wonder as the multicolored revolutions took place—the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Rose in Georgia, the Cedar in Lebanon, the Tulip in Kyrgyzstan... Few realized that for years, the United States and other countries and organizations had been supporting this homegrown desire for democracy."
"When the Orange Revolution began, 29-year-old television anchorman Andriy Shevchenko was news director of Channel 5, the only regional independent TV network. He had received media training through Internews, a USAID-funded NGO, and visited U.S. TV stations where he learned about investigative reporting, balancing many points of viIs this a good use of American taxpayer dollars?ew, and other aspects of the free press."
"At 2:30 a.m. Monday, after the second round of elections, strange results came from the election commission,” said Shevchenko. “Yushchenko left the commission building and said, ‘We don’t trust the results.’ He asked people to come to the Maidan Nezalezhnosti [Independence Square] in the morning. At the station, we realized we would not go to sleep that night, and we kept coverage of the square for 15 days nonstop."
"The first days, we were the only channel covering it. Then other channels followed.” Soon, hundreds of thousands would leave their homes and villages to join mass demonstrations."
"People were fed up with corruption, election fraud, and the slide back to authoritarian rule, which the independent press was reporting,” said Shevchenko, one of 2,000 Ukrainian journalists trained over the past decade. Support from the United States, Internews, and the European Union created a feeling that others stood with them “in the trenches,” said Shevchenko. Election observers from Ukraine, the United States, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe also issued widely publicized reports of fraud."
"U.S. aid helped us to conduct the poll that showed Yushchenko won while the authorities intended to falsify the elections,” said Anatoliy Rachok, director of the Razumkov Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Studies which received U.S. and Eurasia Foundaion aid."
"For five years, we polled people and reported that the attitude of people towards the government was very negative. The population believed in those figures,” said Razumkov."
"Then, when the Center reported that Yushchenko had really won the election, “our poll was believable and it was used by the Supreme Court” in overturning the official tally."
"U.S. aid help for the poll was absolutely important—the poll results after the second round made people go to the street,” he added."
"Another NGO—Development Associates —did its own democracy preparation work with the Central Election Commission, training 100,000 commissioners for the 2004 elections."
"U.S. democracy grants also paid for experts from the American Bar Association (ABA), International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute (NDI), the University of Maryland, and other groups to train lawyers, judges, journalists, members of parliament, NGOs, political party leaders, and others."
Is this a good use of American taxpayer funds?

Ready to have your mind blown?
Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:
- The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan
- He found that we are giving money to Yemen
- He found that we are giving money to Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money
- He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
- According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
- He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
- He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
- He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
- He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
- Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
- USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
- They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
- They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus

“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
“I didn’t vote for Elon Musk”🥴 Well cry harder libs. We didn’t vote for this clown either, yet he controls the democrat party. The difference is Trump ran & was elected in a landslide with full transparency that Elon would be doing exactly what he’s doing. See the difference?
Did you know that USAID spent your tax dollars to fund celebrity trips to Ukraine, all to boost Zelensky’s popularity among Americans?🤯
WATCH:
College students who over stayed their visas are arrested by ICE in Hidalgo, TX.

Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states!
Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won:
– Presidency
– Popular vote
– Senate majority
– House majority
– State governor majority
– State legislature majority
The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence 🙄
This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!
Worth noting that far more “billionaires” backed Harris than Trump and she raised almost 50% more money.
Nonetheless, America showed that elections aren’t just a function of money and gave Trump a resounding victory!
@WallStreetSilv So is all your corrupt politicians partying with Diddy and his thousands of baby oil bottles🤣🥱
So this was a despicable lie
CBS just effing lied
They have "fact checked" JD Vance 3 times
"Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?"
BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."
"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"
BIDEN: "No."
@JoeBiden Are you denying the very words you just said the other day?
They are importing voters. It is obvious.
There should be thoughtful discussion of substantive issues, rather than people simply hating who the media tells them to hate
Creepy that they would vote against this
Yes
