Musk Unmasks USAID

by James Alexander
25 February 2025 7:00 AM

The subject here is USAID. It exists on two levels. One is open and avowed. But now, courtesy of Musk’s DOGE, we are hearing about the other, hidden level. USAID is part of the Deep State.

We have talked about the Deep State before. The words ‘deep state’ mean ‘concealed government’. Behind the mask of the Government we can see is a hidden, secret government. This is the part of government which, though it may be seen, and often is seen, in its actions, is intended to be covert, hidden in its intentions. It has its origins, obviously, in conspiracy and spying — the sort of thing Walsingham brought to a fine art under Elizabeth I — but, less obviously, has its origins in the original nature of government.

Thank you, Dr Alexander, for highlighting up front how oxymoronic “political science” is.

Five minute clip of Colonel Musket coolly, calmly and collectedly taking careful aim at an oxymoronic oaf from the British Broadcasting Commentariat, wittering on about hate speech…

https://youtu.be/XqJKAnN0-gM?t=172

“…You just lied.” Pure comedy gold, straight out of Monty Python, back in the days of the old black and white Bush TV, when long-lost Aunty Beeb still had sentience of humour and gut-feel for all things oxymoronic.

Bang, you’re dead. Next oaf, please.

The joint MSM Covid newscasts world wide were like “Operation Mockingbird” a topic was repeated by all with the same wording i.e. The I.C.U’s are full of the unvaccinated” this would cross the Atlantic to Europe, then Austraila,N.Z… USAID?

I encourage anyone interested to read Operation Gladio if you think anything is “too dirty” for the CIA

I have the book, not got to it yet. There is also a BBC documentary on Youtube with interviews with people involved. That was early 1990s documentary when the BBC did better journalism.

Without meaning to encourage greater conspiracies I do hope that DOGE is most effective – but I suspect it will not be able to see, let alone expose, the Really Deep State.

Politics and power being what they are there will be pockets of the Really Deep State encysted within the Deep State and they will be quite happy to throw the ordinary Deep State under the bus as a distraction. The Really Deep State is patient and can wait decades to reform its Deep State cover.

With the deep deep state I doubt there will be any type of paper/electronic trail. Just quiet face to face conversations with everything implied and nothing explicitly said. Big decisions made and orders given, but nothing to find.

Reminds me of Vance’s question to European leaders a few days ago. Ask yourselves what it is you are defending when you so readily cancel elections, arrest your citizens for thought crime etc.

It would be an extremely good idea to call a meeting of the UN general assembly, publically burn the UN charter there and send everyone home afterwards, never to return. Replacing honest wars with equally murderous “defensive operations” à la Iraq, covered by an orgy of lies has not improved “international relations”. States go to war when they want to. Justifications for that will be found. For a recent example, Putin’s ‘defended’ Russia by invading Ukraine which led Zelensky ‘defending’ Ukraine by invading Russia.

Clown world. But not the least bit funny.,

Reminds me of a film I saw…’Angel Has fallen (2019) Gerard Butler. Even in films they can’t resist state propaganda. In the film he failed to protect the president and they suspect him of being involved in a conspiracy to ‘take out’ the president through an anonymous private contractor firm. While he is on the run, they suspect Russia was involved and said…”well they did interfere with the last election”.

That’s not “state propaganda” but propaganda for a specific American party.

Good point….but it seems the ‘Deep State, as being discovered, is more in favour of the Democrats.

Here are the Mike Benz revelations on USAID in full. It’s long but not a sentence is superfluous; he is master of the subject:
