The
Columbia Journalism Review on Tuesday released
a report on the importance of USAID’s donations to approved journalists at home and abroad.
According to CJR, USAID spent $268 million to fund over 6,000 approved journalists. Obviously, these were the leftwing variety of journalist who did not question COVID, elections, climate change, DEI policies, etc.
This is a stunning admission.
The CJR report wants you to feel sadness that these approved media outlets in 30 countries, including the US, will no longer be receiving your taxpayer dollars to publish their globalist propaganda.
Here is what Columbia Journalism Review forgot to mention.

Bad Kitty Unleashed released an explosive report recently on how the
Center for Countering Digital Hate partnered with the US taxpayer-funded
Restless Development organization to counter, blacklist, censor and silence Covid “disinformation” in 2021 and beyond.
Imran Awan, the CEO at
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), bragged about getting conservative news orgs such as the Gateway Pundit, the Federalist, and Zero Hedge reported to social media AND demonetized! Especially from Google Ads, a prominent advertiser online.
According to to Bad Kitty Restless Development is funded by numerous big money leftist groups and government agencies, including:
- Obama Foundation
- USAID (United States Agency for International Development)
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Clinton Health Initiative
- Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
- United Nations
- The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)
- Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (NOREC)
- Irish Aid
- Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)

According to the CCDH and Restless Development, their reports have been produced from this collaboration have been used in
US Congress, UK Parliament, in gov briefings and media reporting across the world, particularly influencing the deliberations surrounding the Online Safety Bill and the scope of online harms.”
The CCDH and Restless Development “Stop Funding Hate” campaign also included “blocklists” that contained websites and platforms they created to blacklist and defund targeted websites like The Gateway Pundit.
Commentary:
DOGE is quickly finding that USAID was being used to propagandize against, muzzle and attack American citizens. People need to go to jail over these treasonous acts.
Trump is right to expose and rollback this treasonous cabal within our gov't.
The proof of their conspiracy can be seen in the videos of the
FAKE NEWS talking heads and Neo-Marxist Democrat politicians squawking essentially the same phrase starting with their first newscasts of the morning?
The loss of the November elections has placed Democrats in serious decline. It took a whole 16 days to begin filing articles of impeachment of President Trump.
