USAID's defenders say it's about charity and development in poor nations

In a turn of events that has rocked American politics, a network involving the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has been uncovered. This revelation has made it clear that President Donald Trump's impeachment in 2019 was not just a legal procedure but possibly part of a broader operation of domestic interference.

It all began when a White House whistleblower, a former CIA analyst, unleashed a political storm by alleging that Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine to blackmail them for damaging information on Joe Biden. This whistleblower, according to sources, based his evidence on OCCRP reports, an organization that presents itself as an independent investigative journalism entity but is, in reality, deeply intertwined with the U.S. government, specifically with USAID.

Last year's investigation by Drop Site News questioned OCCRP's independence, suggesting that this organization has been used by USAID to push political agendas, both abroad and now, possibly, within our own borders. The 2024 NDR documentary on OCCRP brought to light that USAID not only funds but also directs OCCRP's operations, including approving their work plans and hires.

OCCRP's focus on regime change and interference in foreign elections, as per their own admissions, raises serious questions about their role in Trump's impeachment. Drew Sullivan, co-founder of OCCRP, has publicly stated that his organization has influenced government changes in several countries, implying that tools used for external political control have now been turned against our own government.

This situation is particularly disturbing given that President Trump has been a vocal critic of such practices, which might explain his administration's recent closure of USAID. The involvement of these organizations in impeaching a U.S. President suggests interference not just in foreign policy but also in domestic sovereignty, posing fundamental questions about transparency and ethics in the administration of justice.

The relationship between the CIA, USAID, and OCCRP reveals a pattern of operations that are no longer confined to international borders but have become a weapon in domestic politics.
