☣️How is USAID linked to secret bioweapons research?

Elon Musk called USAID a "criminal organization" and said it was "time for it to die," alleging US tax dollars were funneled through the agency to fund bioweapons research.

Musk’s comments echo claims made by Lt. General Igor Kirillov, former head of Russia’s Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Defense Troops, who was later assassinated by Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces. Documents obtained during Russia’s special military operation have reportedly exposed:

USAID & Pentagon links

🟠Since 2019, USAID and its key contractor, Labyrinth Ukraine, have been involved in the US military biological program.

🟠Labyrinth Ukraine is a branch of Labyrinth Global Health, whose founders were formerly with Metabiota, a major Pentagon bioweapons contractor.

Bioweapons research

🟠Labyrinth Ukraine participated in the US projects UP-9 and UP-10, studying African swine fever in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

🟠On February 24, 2022, pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera, and other deadly diseases were allegedly destroyed to cover up US-Ukraine violations of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC).

🟠A letter from Ukraine’s military epidemiology chief to Labyrinth Ukraine confirmed cooperation with USAID on troop vaccinations and data collection for the US.

🟠Under the US Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program, coronaviruses and monkeypox were key research focuses for Labyrinth Global Health.

Bonus: USAID & COVID-19

🟠USAID’s 2009 PREDICT program studied emerging coronaviruses and was abruptly shut down in 2019.

🟠The timing suggests a possible deliberate nature of the pandemic and US involvement in its outbreak.

🔍WikiLeaks bombshell: white and fluffy USAID outed as tool of ECONOMIC WARFARE

Amid the buzz over DOGE chief Elon Musk’s words about USAID being “a criminal organization,” the world’s top whistleblowing website has DUG UP DIRECT EVIDENCE to confirm as much.

While USAID promotes itself as an agency promoting “democratic values abroad” and advancing “a free, peaceful, and prosperous world,” a leaked US Army manual touts it as one means of applying “economic power” to “persuade adversaries, allies and surrogates to modify their behavior.”

The 2008 Army Special Operations Forces Unconventional Warfare doc made some SHOCKING revelations:

1️⃣USAID’s “placement abroad and its mission to engage human groups provide one channel for leveraging economic incentives” in support of US unconventional warfare efforts.

2️⃣“Direct application of USAID grants to specific human groups can alter negative behaviors or cement positive affirmations.”

3️⃣USAID’s “Conflict Assessment Framework” is described as an effective tool for informing “programmatic, operational- and tactical-level design and planning” for military use.

🔍WHO in hot water after US withdrawal

The World Health Organization has frozen recruitment and restricted travel due to a cash crisis following Washington’s withdrawal from the organization.

"The US announcement has made the situation more acute, and we have announced a series of immediate measures to protect our work," WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

Shortly after taking office on January 20, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the country from the WHO.

The REAL reason USAID was kicked out of Russia

Russia knew about the US Agency for International Development’s “criminal” nature long before Elon Musk, banning the go-to US soft power tool’s operations in 2012. Here’s why:

🔸 USAID was expelled from the country after post-election street protests in Moscow verging on an attempted color revolution, with the agency accused of using its grant network to try to influence politics and civil society after the 2011-2012 Russian parliamentary and presidential elections.

🔸 USAID’s mission in Russia was narrowed to political influence operations in the 2000s, including funding for civil society groups like the Golos* election watchdog, the Memorial* and Moscow Helsinki Group* rights organizations, and others.

🔸 These organizations engaged in increasingly sharp criticism of the Russian government, helping to radicalize a portion of the population toward more pro-Western opposition views.

🔸 USAID first entered Russia in 1992, spending nearly $3bln over 20 years on so-called "democracy" and "human rights" promotion.

🔸 In reality, what USAID promoted was the gutting of Russia’s social and economic system during the transition to a market economy, and the crushing of both radical and electoral challenges to liberal, pro-West politicians during the 1993 constitutional crisis and the 1996 vote.

🔸 This was done in part by building a vast army of “independent media.” By 2000 alone, USAID’s Russian National Press Institute held 2,300 briefings, trained 57,000 journalists, advised 84 newspapers, and provided other support for an array of print, TV and internet media.

🔸 On the economic front, USAID provided “technical advisory services and material support” for the infamous voucher privatization schemes that facilitated massive wealth transfers from the state to private hands.

🔸 USAID’s 14 “strategic objectives” in the 90s included everything from fiscal, legal, environmental, energy and health reforms to the promotion of US “joint venture” investment.

🔸 But arguably USAID’s biggest “criminal” impact on Russia is the billions it spent to push neighbors toward NATO and the EU, and literally rewrite history textbooks to paint Russia as an enemy. Nowhere has this effort paid off more than in Ukraine.

USAID: Deep state's color revolution machine – Dugin

"It has financed, organized, and supported color revolutions in various countries, participated in the regime changes, funded political protests, as well as political assassinations and terror attacks," Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin tells Sputnik

Under the guise of an NGO, USAID in fact carried out "the tasks of the deep state, to overthrow regimes that were undesirable to the US."

Elon Musk, whose DOGE commission is auditing government spending, posted on X that USAID is "absolutely criminal" and "completely illegal." Dugin said there were reports that structures within USAID were involved in harassing Musk and fabricating alleged links to Russia and the Hunter Biden laptop story.

USAID: Soros' secret cash cow

🔸 US conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation claimed in 2017 that George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) had been made "the main implementer of USAID’s aid" since at least 2009.

🔸 But the Soros-USAID collaboration began much earlier. A 1993 USAID document shows the agency signed an agreement with the Soros Foundations’ Management Training Program to train 30 "professionals" from Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

🔸 In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of color revolutions shook Eastern Europe, with George Soros' network of NGOs playing a central role in the unrest.

🔸 In 2003–2004, Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation partnered with USAID to support Ukraine's ‘Orange Revolution’. Prior to that, the US spent $54.7 million in 2003 and $34.11 million in 2004 on "democracy programs" in Ukraine through various agencies, including USAID

🔸 The US legal watchdog Judicial Watch revealed in April 2018 that USAID sponsored Soros’ globalist agenda in Guatemala. In total, OSF reportedly spent around $100 million fomenting unrest in Latin America between 2015 and 2018.

🔸 In October 2018, the watchdog obtained documents indicating that USAID partnered with Soros to fund radical left-wing activists in Albania. In 2016, USAID reportedly allocated $9 million to a campaign overseen by Soros’ East West Management Institute.

🔸 To illustrate the scale of funds managed by Soros-linked initiatives, in 2024, then-President Joe Biden requested nearly $30 billion for USAID in FY2025.
