Oh, fun. USGLC removed their "Our Board" page. But I saved it all. I'll add some extra mentions that weren't in the last thread.

The nonprofit Population Services International did not have much in the way of donations but 100% of them went to Democrats.

🧵 Lobbying and Donations of USGLC Companies
Which party receives donations from both USGLC member companies and their employees?
Let's start with Land O'Lakes, which was a surprise recipient of 100 million in USAID money.
The company's donations are split and relatively small, but they do spend an increasing volume of money in lobbying. Amy Klobuchar is the top recipient of funds.
80% of their 2024 employee donations go to Democratic candidates.
🔵 Democratic candidates: $24,250 (80.3%)
🔴 Republican candidates: $1,385 (4.6%)
⚪️ Other — PACs & committees: $4,550 (15.1%)

🚀 Proof of Concept Success!
Last night, I completed a successful PoC that matches federal research awards to actual research outcomes: think papers, press releases, conference talks, and more.
I tested the method on a single major research university and achieved >95% accuracy in identifying whether a research outcome was reasonably expected, and locating public references when they exist.
This bridges the gap between funding and impact, unlocking visibility into the real-world outputs of public spending.
Research awards were the easiest. I will be expanding this to include other, less visible awards, adding other metrics such as impact factor, and releasing a tool soon.
More to come soon : but the foundation is solid, and the potential is huge. 💥

Ruh - oh... turns out @DailyCaller covered USGLC. Hunter Biden was on the board. This article is from February 17, 2020.

Note also the percent access to electricity was actually slower than many other developing nations, so it’s unclear if the 128B made any impact at all. Here’s India for example.

From one of the USAID pages: 128 billion invested in the African power sector, much of it in solar and other renewables.
In 20 years, the percent of Africans with access to electricity did rise from ~22% to ~43%. However, less than 1% of that is from solar and overall <10% from renewables.
So where did that 128 billion go?

🚨💥 Hunter Biden: The Burisma-💰➡️USAID Pipeline!
Thanks to MarcoPolo501c3 for the help with emails.
On July 9, 2014, an email to Hunter Biden floated the idea of Burisma becoming a "partner" with USAID.
By October 25, just over three months later, Burisma had secured a role in the USAID Municipal Energy Reform Project in Ukraine. Hunter received a thank-you in an email.
USAID would ultimately allocate $16.5 million to this project.
Hunter Biden was deeply involved with USAID. He is also seen in other emails making connections with USAID appointees and even being asked for advice on appointees and resumes.

USGLC Recruited Hunter Biden… Before Burisma
In 2012—two years before joining Burisma—Hunter Biden was recruited by Liz Schrayer, head of the Gates/Soros-backed USGLC, to join their board.
USGLC usually seats only CEOs and top former officials. So why prioritize the Vice President’s son?
Timeline:
• June 2012: Hunter invited to a gala with Albright & Powell
• July 2012: Attends the event
• August 2012: Officially nominated to the board
All this before Burisma in 2014.
Looks like early access to influence while his father was VP.

I had to investigate for myself, and it's true. California Democrats watered down SB 1414 so that the first offense is less than an year in jail, AND it has to be proven that the defendant knowingly solicited a minor.
It's only subsequent offenses where this becomes a felony.

“Congress won’t stop it because they’re part of it. USAID funds IRI and NDI, where sitting members of Congress sit on the boards. These same groups shape where the money goes. It’s the Ouroboros of Interest—an endless cycle of money, influence, and silence.”

Overall, taking all the Element Materials Technology UEIs, they have profited really nicely from the federal government since Thanedar took office.
