If you thought that GWBush's "AIDS-Reduction" scheme--taking money from US taxpayers to 'save' people from AIDS--was actually doing that, you are as dumb as GWBush.
That's not a compliment.
...Just 40 percent of the $110 billion the United States has invested into global HIV/AIDS prevention since 2003 actually went toward on-the-ground deliveries of life-saving medical supplies, with at least two recipients using more than $30 billion in taxpayer money to pay "exorbitant" executive salaries and push "leftwing ideology," a State Department audit found. ...
Who actually gets your money??
...The State Department's audit uncovered two particular PEPFAR implementing partners—RTI International and Chemonics—that have used U.S. taxpayer funding to award their executives million-dollar salaries and promote far-left politics.
RTI International took in more than $13 billion from the U.S. taxpayer in 2022 and 2023, accounting for 84 percent of the company’s revenue. More than 30 percent of these funds came from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the now-defunct foreign assistance body that long faced accusations of funding radical ideologies around the globe. RTI International used that money to prove those accusations right.
The State Department in its audit found RTI International's publishing arm "released a report touting America’s ‘racial awakening’" and cited disgraced critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi. The report promoted such ideas as "white supremacy culture" being "evident in all facets of society, including research work."
"Liberation is when all people are free of the oppressive systems of colonialism and white supremacy," RTI International professed.
The company also "celebrated ‘Transgender Day of Remembrance,’" according to the State Department review, with the organization’s personnel offering a training session called, "Moving from Ally to Advocate for Transgender and Non-Binary Employees." In another instance, RTI Press published a report "warning of ‘cisnormativity’ and ‘transantagonism,’" the internal State Department documents show.
"The organization’s CEO made a whopping $1.2-million salary in 2023, while four other executives made salaries of over $800,000 and five earned more than $500,000," the State Department’s report continued....
Well, now RTI is 'free' of all that taxpayer money, anyway.
That's why Trump shut down USAID. That, and many more just like it.
