US Congressman, Scott Perry, has stated that the United States of America, US, aid agency, United States Agency for International Development, funded terrorist organizations, including Boko Haram, and ISIS.
Perry, a republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim during the inaugural hearing of the Sub-committee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on Thursday.
The session, titled “The War on Waste: Stamping out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.
“Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding,” Perry said.
According to the sub-committee’s website, it will “actively work with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.”
Perry further noted USAID’s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was zero evidence of the schools’ construction.
“If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.”
“You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.”
“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”
Elon Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticized USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations, a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America and has vowed to shut it down.
Among other criticisms, which Musk has claimed that USAID does rogue CIA work and even funded bio-weapon research, including COVID-19 that killed millions of people.
Trump said DOGE would dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies essential to the save America movement. This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!
