USAID gave $68 million to the WEF billionaires ski club at Davos

WEF, World Economic Forum

By Jo Nova

Another day, another racket

As Elon excavates the Motherlode of global funding, the pieces start to fit together.

Kanekoa the Great wonders why USAID gave $68 million dollars to the World Economic Forum — a group of networking billionaires who meet in January each year to ski in Davos. They turn up in private jets to discuss how they can stop the average man flying. You vill own nothing!

Jo Nova wonders why no media outlet on Earth seemingly figured this out for themselves. Perhaps it was the millions in funding the government paid some media outlets, presumably, to say nothing at all the right moments?

It’s almost like we already had One World Government all along, we just didn’t know it.

As Mike Benz said we’ve lived our whole life  in “the Truman show”. We think we have free press. We think US foreign aid buys tents for refugees and food for starving children. Then we find out the “aid money” was paid to  media hacks, academics and billionaires.

And we see pictures like these:

USAID tents for terrorists?

USAID also help fund the Soros prosecutors. (So sweet of them to help fund a billionaires dream, not to mention helping homeless guys with rocket-launchers.)

If Trump and Musk manage to turn off the funding spigot from the US, it will be felt around the world. A huge burden will be lifted.

NGO’s spared no excess,
In funding left woke and left press,
And any DEI project,
Tax dollars no object,
All paid from USAID largesse.

    Great find Jo.

    Why aren’t the Lamestream Media reporting this?

    And what other Leftist lovefests were or are hard-working taxpayers paying for?

    Maybe USAID gave the money to enable entrepreneurs from developing companies to attend so that they could pitch for funding. That would be a sensible idea, one of the biggest hindrances for developing nations is the lack of access to capital.

      Simon, how was your private jet flight into Davos?

      And please tell us about the in-flight menu.

      Was it insects?

      Or was it prepared by a Le Cordon Bleu chef? Japanese Kobe steak and Beluga caviar, topped off with a sip or two of Bollinger La Grande Année 2008 perhaps?

        And even though the Left constantly tell us “all cultures are equal” that is obviously not the case.

        Modern society requires laws and a willingness to obey them, no culture of corruption, hard work, recognition of natural rights, intelligence, timeliness, organisational skills, respect for others, social mobility (no caste or clan systems), freedom of thought and action (as long as it doesn’t violate the rights of another), etc..

        Not all cultures and peoples have these. Certain successful colonisers like the British gifted these to local peoples they colonised but when they left, those societies often reverted to their pre-colonial conditions.

        Sir Winston Churchill wrote in The River Wars:

        Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the … A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. …

        One of the biggest hinderances to poor and working Americans is lack of access to capitol … especially when they’re being robbed of their tax money by corruption.

    Goolag AI told me Australia doesn’t provide any funding to the WEF so that suggested to me that the opposite was true, and I was right. It has in fact provided funding on a WEF project. (Goolag promotes the Official Narrative of the Left.)

    https://www.dfat.gov.au/news/news/Pages/new-partnership-with-world-economic-forum-agricultural-development-in-asean

    “Under this new $8 million partnership, Australia will work closely with the WEF and ASEAN to drive pro-poor economic growth in our region”, Ms Bishop said.

    Tragically, Australia has no one to “drain the Swamp” like TRUMP and Musk.

      If you support a group that wants to dominate you and everyone else that is what you will get from WEF – an unelected and unaccountable body of Marxist/Malthusian control freaks.

    Artificial intelligence is now one of the most powerful weapons of the Left and used to run and guide woke search engines like Goolag and generally distribute Leftist propaganda and give dishonest, pro-Leftist search results.

    AI is a particularly powerful weapon of the Left because, also due to Leftist policies, they have weaponised the “education” system, and dumbed it down and turned it into an indoctrination system. Children can’t think for themselves and can’t read, write or do arithmetic but they will be able to name all 72 supposed genders…

    It’s not surprising, therefore that the US Government, in the following case the Department of State, partnered with some of the world’s richest, wokest organisations for implementation of AI.

    https://www.state.gov/advancing-sustainable-development-through-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-ai/

    The Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI (PGIAI) brings together the Department of State, Amazon, Anthropic, Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI. Together they commit more than $100 million leveraging their combined expertise, resources, and networks to unlock AI’s potential as a powerful tool for sustainable development and improved quality of life in developing countries, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety, security, and trustworthiness in AI systems. This effort recognizes that effective and equitable AI solutions must be rooted in an understanding and respect for the diverse cultures, languages, and traditions of the communities they serve.

    SEE LINK FOR REST

    The State Department also partnered with USAID.

    From the above link:

    $1.3 million to launch USAID’s Responsible AI funding to conduct AI-related programs through the Digital Forward mechanism.

    One insider in USAID said that their job was to get rid of the money, or they would lose it, like so much public sector spending. DAVOS was just another way to get the job done.

    The absurdity of subsiding a billionaires ski club is comparable to Arab oil sheiks subsidizing the businesses meetings of the UN known as COP, Conference of the (interested) Parties. 120,000 business people flying into meetings to counter man made Global Warming and reducing dependency on gas and oil? Equally absurd. Who are these people? It’s a directions meeting for the booming oil, gas and coal businesses. Hundreds of private jets, like DAVOS.

    Journalists were begging for meals at Baku. And the taxpayers of the world subsidized the elites and businessmen. How many Australians were at DAVOS or BAKU? At our expense? And why?

    Robbing taxpayers is great sport. As in Australia. Where is Turnbull’s $444 million he gave his wife? Where is Albanese’s $1000million for shares in a purely speculative venture in ‘Quantum Computing’? And Turnbull’s $2.5Billion for Snowy II in two years is now $12.5Billion heading to $20Billion for something which makes no sense at all. Andrew’s Big Build? Andrew’s Very Fast Rail. Or Gavin Newsom’s equivalent?

    And all the illegal hidden certificates and credits for CO2, crippling every industry? Where is all the money going? We need DOGE to come here and clean out the cockie’s cage of Canberra.

    I like how the revelations are beginning to snowball. Imagine what this could look like 6 weeks from now!

    As more people begin to grasp that we have been lied to and swindled, the appetite for even more transparency will grow. Or so I hope.

    At some point a vehement denial from a politician or public official will be taken, not at face value, but as further evidence that the truth is beginning to appear.

    Due process required? Absolutely, as always. But no more letting officials off the hook just because they wave their hands and say “don’t be ridiculous.”

    “While the influence USAID funding exerts on foreign populations to induce and influence regime change may sometimes be subtle at best, other times it is much more apparent.  Joe Biden’s trip to Ukraine as Vice President in March 2016 may be one of the more well-known examples.

    After the 2020 Election and the exposé of the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell, quite a bit of attention was given to an outburst that Joe Biden made during a discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations in January 2018.

    During his remarks, Biden infamously bragged about pressuring Ukraine officials to fire Viktor Shokin, the special prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a board member making almost $1 million per year.”

    “Biden recalled going to Kyiv for the “12th or 13th time” to announce a third billion-dollar loan guarantee.  He said he had gotten a commitment from Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian President who was installed following the ousting of Viktor Yanukovich during the Maidan Revolution, and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk to “take action against the state prosecutor.”  But when Biden arrived, the two Ukrainians had yet to remove Shokin.

    “‘I’m leaving here in, what, six hours?  If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled saying.  “Well, son of a bitch.  He got fired!”

    Whether or not there was violence is irrelevant.  Biden utilized the threat of withholding $1 billion in USAID loans to remove the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, a man who was appointed by the Ukrainian President (the US-friendly Poroshenko rather than the Russian-friendly Yanukovich) and was confirmed by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) by a vote of 318 out of 382 deputies.  He also just happened to be investigating corruption in a company Hunter Biden had a financial interest in.

    Obviously a lot of USAID and other funds illegally ended up in private pockets of corrupt Third World officials, dictators and others.

    The US must now ruthlessly pursue, prosecute and if found guilty, jail all guilty parties, wherever possible.

    So this process is not a burden on US taxpayers, the US could pay private contractors, sort of like bounty hunters, a fee to find such people and facilitate bringing them to justice. The contractors could be paid a fee in proportion to monies recovered from the guilty.

    Heheheh. This war pig Liz Chaney just got roasted.

    Seems that she got caught with her hands in the USAID cookie jar.

    https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/02/06/liz-cheney-exchange-with-elon-musk-over-usaid-n2185281

    “In the whirlwind of all that, Mike Benz, the Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department official, connected the dots to another thing that USAID was associated with — former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney. He described her as being “spawned” out of USAID because she had previously worked for the agency earlier in her career. 

    Elon Musk responded, “Interesting.”

    That’s when Liz Cheney got triggered and responded to Musk. Her response was bizarre. 

    “Damn right, @Elon.  I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.
    I’m not sure how this was responsive to the tweet, no one was talking about the Cold War, much less the Soviet Union. But doesn’t it figure that she’d jump into the middle of the scandal on the wrong side?”

    She didn’t even tag Elon with the proper name for his account — so much for any accuracy on her part. People on X had fun mocking her over that. 

    A lot of folks on X also mentioned the pardon she got from Joe Biden, but she didn’t respond when they asked her about that. 

    She acted like Musk didn’t understand our history and the times we “stood for freedom” and attacked his citizenship with the “you may be unfamiliar” with all that since he wasn’t yet a citizen. Hey, Liz, nice job attacking immigrants who become citizens; how vile are you?

    Elon responded to Benz, reducing Cheney’s response to “Damn right I was spawned out of USAID.”

    “No kidding,” he concluded. That explains so much.

    The WEF billionaires could soon insist that Australia close up shop and we
    should take up basket weaving etc and practice our pronouns as long as Klaus and his elitist mates could fly to Davos in their private jets and proclaim that the poor must be happy.
    The world would belong to their elites and the rest of us would have to be happy in our 15 minute cities. Just give it time because there are a lot of delusional donkeys who still believe in their fantasy dream world.

    – No tax on overtime pay
    – Renew Trump’s 2017 Middle Class tax cuts
    – Adjust SALT cap
    – Eliminate all special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners.
    – Close carried interest tax deduction loophole
    – Tax cuts for American Made products

    I don’t know how others feel, but I feel a huge weight has been lifted. Many of us feared what was happening in many
    Western governments – but few could have suspected the depth of the corruption and deception in the most powerful democracy in the world.

    It’s amazing how interconnected the world is and how you can almost feel the lifting of the deep depression the West had fallen into. Talk about “ the Emperor has no clothes” …… the ascension of the Trump regime is opening eyes and hopefully will generate questioning of citizens of all democracies.

      Agreed.

      But we are yet to see this happen in Australia, and even if fake conservative Dutton wins the next election, I’m not sure he’ll go as far as TRUMP.

      To his credit, he has appointed Jacinta Price the Shadow government efficiency minister, not that there’s any equivalent position in the Al-bozo regime.

      The Australian public “service” is very powerful, as is the far Left, so-called “moderate” faction of the Liberal Party. In addition, we have numerous traitors in Parliament, all bought and paid for by the Chicomms and WEF.

    It’s a real concern that as TRUMP shuts down Big Green and other Leftist billionaire scams, the billionaires will be looking for fresh pastures for subsidy-harvesting with Leftist Governments who are fanatically committed to the anthropogenic global warming fr@ud, who have no spending limits and no science or reason-based public policies. Like Australia.

    This is hard core Reformation 2.0 territory.
    When folk are faced with the fact that the authority structures they had been taught to trust, and had offered up the lives and limbs of themselves or their children to serve …
    has been very nearly completely fraudulent.
    It is a magnificent task for Trump to expose it.
    It will be a greater and more essential task for Trump to establish a new structure of trust.
    Fortunately, those he defeated, that now swear to resist him, look more and more foolish and hysterical by the minute.

      Western Europe and the UK are gone.
      Best of luck Oz.

      Agreed.

      The US is returning to its powerful foundational principles of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” along with limited government and individual responsibility and with the recognition of “natural rights”.

      Europe and UK have gone. They weren’t invaded, they invited fanatical followers of the seventh century warlord, mostly military age males.

      Charles Martel, Charlemagne, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar and Vlad the Impaler who drove them away last time, would be appalled.

      Australia has no real foundational principles, it was a free range prison colony, and is still run like one. It’s questionable if Australia can be saved.

      The moral philosopher of the British Empire was Jeremy Bentham who did not believe in natural rights as derived from God or nature (depending upon your belief). He thought rights only came from man, i.e. government.

      The founding fathers of the US on the other hand were influenced by philosophers like John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau and Baron de Montesquieu who did recognise God-given natural rights and this is reflected in the US Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.

        My mind wanders to the waterworld film where the bad guys ruled from a tanker. Much activity by slave types. Lots of ruling by those with power.

        All the while the tanker was holed below the water line and only stayed above water because it had long ago run aground and attached to a coral reef.

        The moral of the story? Watch this space!

          Forrest, actually, I think the tanker, Exxon Valdez in Waterworld was mobile. It just couldn’t move under its own power and was powered by large numbers of “Smokers” (pirates).

          https://waters-end.fandom.com/wiki/The_Deez

          The Deez is heavily rusted and eroded. There are shipping containers located on the deck. The waterline of the hull is encrusted with centuries of barnacles and marine growth, but ramps provide access for watercraft to the interior. Parts of the hull have been cannibalised for making munitions, leaving a patchwork of holes. Since the Deez can no longer move on its own power, mobility is achieved by large number of smokers rowing below deck with huge oars.

    I find it amusing that vilifying Russia over the Ukraine mission has strengthened the Russian economy. Sanctions meant Russian money could only invest locally which BOOSTED the economy. And the Russian Government has been REDUCING the deficit at the same time. I am not an economist but economics has been distorted believing “Globalism” and “DIE” as being positives for the economy. Russia has demonstrated the contrary.

    All very interesting and encouraging.

    One thing is the comparatively small amounts of money. I know the old saying about a million here and a million there and pretty soon it adds up to real money. But it takes an awful lot of millions to waste money on the scale governments waste money.

    I hope that accountability is coming to a very large number of bureaucrats who have become used to having no accountability. For now I’m happy if the fiscal fire hose of waste is turned off.

    And then my compassionate side asks what is to become of the millions of presently useless at best and more often actively obstructive and destructive bureaucrats.

    My mind wanders to the hospital emergency departments I have seen where the majority of staff spend vast amounts of time on their computers. What if they all stopped doing what they are doing, went home and never came back? And then had to rely on unemployment benefits to feed themselves. And then my blood approaches boiling as I think of the centrelink droids who will “process” the paperwork.

    So I say send home the entire government bureaucracy and only call them back when somebody notices they are missing.

      There are plenty of things useless Leftists (a tautology I know) can do.

      I have already suggested they go to Third World countries and personally pick up rubbish and teach the locals not to litter.

      Plus there’s plenty of charity work to do. Cooking, cleaning and shopping tasks for elderly people is another thing they can do.

      They could do roadside litter clean up and graffiti removal.

      They could do invasive weed removal in National Parks and State forests.

      There are many useful and menial tasks they can do, all at minimal or no wage until it is deemed they have worked off their debt to society.

    We have Whitney Webb throwing cold water over a lot that is being reported. She is very sour on Elon’s many conflicts of interest, like wanting to turn X into a major financial instrument, and his father having been head of a consortium to combine the USA, Canada, and Greenland into one digitally run blob, back in the 80’s! Digital currencies of any type will be problems, not just the govt ones.

    Rebranding –
    “When the powers that be realized that many Americans would resist a “great reset”, they obviously noticed that the majority were expecting it from the public sector, so now it’s implementation is going to come from the private, likely via the public-private partnership. People misunderstand the WEF and what it does IMO (in my opinion), but it’s most obvious and overt goal as a group, is to facilitating digital transformation, and the 4IR (ie the “great reset”) via the public-private partnership model.”

    I think we should understand why their so called CC mitigation is such a mindboggling WASTE of TRILLIONs of $ of our money and for ZERO measurable change to our climate.
    Here’s Steven Nowakowski at 1.50 minutes of the video that I posted yesterday…..

    1:50
    “of energy it would cost $1.2 trillion by 2032 and 5 to 7 trillion by 2060 to reach”
    1:57
    “these targets and everyone’s bills will keep going up and up and up and the increases will be steeper and steeper and steeper” END OF STEVE’s quote.

    Bloomberg’s total is about 275 TRILLION $ for the global cost to changeover to toxic W & S and no guarantee that every last TRILLION $ wouldn’t be WASTED straight down the drain.
    Nothing comes close to their PONZI CC fra-d and con trick and I only wish more voters would start to WAKE UP.
    Never forget that China, Russia, Iran , Nth Korea etc couldn’t care less. I wonder why?

    You know that swamp we’ve been hearing about for nearly 10 years? USAID would appear to have been one of the plugs that prevented that swamp from being drained. Maybe the biggest plug. Let’s hope the swamp creatures don’t install a pump on the lower side and attempt to put the water back in.
