David Sacks, known for his role as Trump's 'crypto-czar,' recently appeared on the 'All In' podcast to discuss revelations concerning USAID and its impact on Washington, DC. According to Sacks, USAID has been involved in a significant financial operation that benefits various individuals and media outlets.
Sacks expressed skepticism about the allocation of funds, suggesting they might be used to artificially support progressive policies. He said, "We’re in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them."
He further alleged that major publications and political figures receive payments from USAID. "New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid," he claimed. Additionally, he noted international involvement: "Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban... was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID."
Sacks highlighted the global reach of these funds: "In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID... Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID." He emphasized the magnitude of these distributions as "$50 billion a year" or "a billion dollars a week."
He questioned the authenticity of grassroots movements supported by these funds: "The left... tries to portray itself as a movement of the people... This is astroturf." Sacks raised concerns about genuine local support for such policies worldwide.
A video clip shared on social media platform X captured Sacks's statements about USAID's funding practices and their implications.
