'It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at
a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President
Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.
It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.
Over the last two years, USAID had funneled $2.3 billion in
“humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it
reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even with the Biden
administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29
million in December 2024.
USAID support for Somalia had doubled under the Biden administration and
with $3.3 billion from USAID allocated in the last 5 years, the end of
the USAID gravy train for the Islamic terrorist state of Somalia must
have been a painful blow for Omar, who is very close to the Somali
regime. Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire had reportedly
celebrated that “the interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the
interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people,
the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia.”
It’s unknown if any of Omar’s Majerteen clan members benefited from the
billions in American money, but considering the prominence of the clan
in Somali politics, it’s likely to be the case.
Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the
Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were
among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash.
USAID boasted of having sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the West Bank
since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7. In 2024 alone, $917 million was
programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel.
USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took
over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was
so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with the U.S.
Government’s Afghan War watchdog tracking money going to terrorists.
Even while the United States of America was at war with the Houthis, the
Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group firing on US Navy vessels, USAID
continued to direct billions of dollars to Yemen.
In 2024, USAID announced a $2.7 billion aid request for Yemen and
allocated $753 million. In the last 5 years, USAID provided an estimated
$3.4 billion in aid to an enemy terror state.
Other Islamic terrorist states that have heavily drawn on USAID include
Pakistan which harbored Osama bin Laden, but benefited from $600 million
in the last 5 years. While some American towns and cities lacked clean
drinking water, USAID labored to build plants for Pakistan’s majority
Muslim population even while it engaged in the persecution of
Christians.
USAID spent over $700 million on Iraq during the last 5 years even
though the country has long since been governed by Iranian puppets whose
militias have been firing on American soldiers.
$3.4 billion was directed to Syria over the past 5 years by USAID even
as it was caught in a civil war between Shiite Islamists aligned with
Iran and Sunni Islamists aligned with Al Qaeda.
USAID allocated $1.1 billion to spend on Lebanon even as the country was
run by Hezbollah.
While USAID is unable to function in Iran, between Yemen, Lebanon, Syria
and Iraq, over $8 billion was sent to Iranian puppet regimes even
without counting the money spent on Gaza.
In total, USAID had spent some $18.5 billion on Islamic terror states
over those 5 years.
This is not a full list of USAID spending in Muslim countries, but only
those countries whose governments are closely interlinked with
terrorists, sponsor terrorist groups or serve as puppets of terror
groups and states. Some of these countries are actively in a conflict
with the U.S. They include countries responsible for the murder of
American soldiers and terror attacks in the U.S.
USAID has sent $9.3 billion to Islamic terror states collectively
responsible for killing over 3,000 American soldiers. Not only did
Islamic terrorist states and groups kill us, but in the ultimate
obscenity, we have rewarded them with millions of dollars for each of
our murdered soldiers.
The reconstruction of USAID under the full umbrella of the State
Department rather than as a ‘super-NGO’ advancing anti-American
interests across the globe has been met with outrage by Rep. Ilhan Omar,
Rep. Jim McGovern, Sen. Chris Murphy and other longtime shills for
Islamic interests in America who worry that the money for Islamic
terrorists won’t be there anymore.
But we ought to ask if sending $18 billion to Islamic terror states is
helping our national security.
USAID has provided massive amounts of funding for the UN and NGO
‘non-profits’ which operate inside terrorist areas with little to no
oversight. Special exemptions have been handed out to allow distributors
of ‘humanitarian aid’ to partner with and do business with terrorists.
Including some of the Islamic terrorist groups that America is still at
war with.
USAID’s partnerships with foreign governments, and with large
unaccountable organizations including the UN and the World Bank, have
raised concerns of money laundering. The revolving door between USAID
personnel and some of the non-profit and for-profit groups who all
profit from it has also raised questions about the legitimacy of those
arrangements. And USAID’s active efforts to deny information about its
activities to SIGAR, the U.S. government’s Afghan war watchdog, as well
as to the incoming Trump administration, makes it a rogue agency.
It may never be fully known how much of our foreign aid went into the
pockets of Islamic terrorists, but the USAID freeze and consolidation
under the State Department can help make sure that the aid pipeline
stops being a way to fund the Islamic terrorists killing Americans.'
