USAID Employees Told to Destroy Documents,
Shred and Burn Everything

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 3/12/2025 10:40:01 AM

If USAID was the charitable wing of the U.S. State Dept., why would the remaining senior leadership be instructing all employees to urgently start destroying all records? The answer is easy, the charity mission of USAID was a front for the real operational mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). USAID has always been a CIA operation within the U.S. State Department silo. The documents they are now being told to shred and burn with urgency are the CIA operational details of how USAID manipulated foreign governments and CIA assets. This is one big coverup operation.

There may be more to this story than how it's being reported. The 'old' USAID building will be occupied by CBP. The hard copy documents in question were old, duplicate courtesy content (content from other agencies), and the originals still exist in storage and the soft copies remain on databases. That's what they're shredding. Let's err on the side of Occam's razor before jumping to conclusions.

Remarks about this news story at a different conservative social media website this morning includes a comment from the website’s founder that the “USAID shredding story is not what it seems.” Also, that “Judge Nichols” is to hold an emergency hearing this morning. Poster comments suggest fake news and the possibility of a named “far-left activist’s” actions. Ldotter #3 is correct about destruction of documents in storage that are no longer needed. According to a former USAID staffer, everyone with a safe will find that “Sometimes security will check your safe and tell you if you have to clean out old material.” Further, Ldotter #3 is accurate about Customs and Border Protection moving into the USAID facility “having rented 390,000 square feet of office space in the building last month.”

#6,#7~ No, this time it’s a legitimate action. Just posted a Fox News article dismissing concern about presumed illegal destruction of the documents. Employees involved “had a secret security clearance or higher and not among those placed on administrative leave...familiar with content and specifically appointed by the agency to review and conduct the purge.” “Hysteria”: White House shuts down concerns over USAID document purge Fox News – Diana Stancy

"Questions about how long this has been going on are commonplace." -- Well, at least since the Vietnam War, the French Vietnam War, that is. #1, Intel entities always end up doing this and they get away with it because people are afraid to stand up to the threats of blackmail and harm to one's self and loved ones. Regime changes don't help. The old regime intel spooks dug up all the dirt on the new regime people, so they just become the new regime spooks. For example, Putin is the inheritor of an intelligence and intimidation organization that started out as the Oprichniki under Ivan the Terrible. The spooks derive their power from the secrets they keep, including ones on their nominal controllers. (Think of J. Edgar Hoover.) Once the secrets are revealed - as awful as they might be - their power is lost. So the system, ironically, is maintained by its victims. Until they quit hiding, the spooks have power. As for the intimidation part, gunfire might be required. (Think of the drug cartels.) But the secrets are the real power.

Those documents are bought and paid for by US taxpayers. If this is true, someone's going to be spending a lot of time at the gray bar hotel.

The information from Secretary of State Marco Rubio looks good. During his flight to Saudi Arabia, Secretary Rubio answered a few questions about the U.S. delegation expectations of the meeting with Ukraine officials. Rubio notes the aforementioned “minerals deal” is not an important part of the larger objective. Secretary Rubio says that finding out if Ukraine’s desire for peace with Russia is true, in good faith or not, is the key objective. A pragmatic Rubio also notes that Ukraine is likely going to have to give up lost territory to achieve peace.

Consider this an escalation once President Trump is briefed. Overnight, someone, claimed by media to be Ukraine, launched a targeted series of drone attacks against the KINEF oil refinery in the Leningrad region of Russia. The refinery is approximately 800 to 1,000 kilometers from where western intelligence operators are assembled to support Ukraine. This distance means someone within NATO has violated President Trump’s order to withdraw ‘long-range’ targeting system operation, and/or someone within NATO has provided an alternative. [SEE MAP]When President Trump stopped “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine, what he technically did was stop allowing Ukraine to use exclusive USA targeting systems controlled by U.S Intelligence, the CIA, the National

Knowing that President Trump has essentially stopped the Ukraine/NATO/IC/EU offensive combat operations for Ukraine that use western supplied drones/missiles with complete reliance on U.S/NATO targeting, it does not come as a surprise to see Ukraine President Zelenskyy call for a “sky and sea truce.”Zelenskyy’s proposal for Russia to stop the air and sea combat operations, while simultaneously supporting frontline combat operations, is essentially an EU effort to maintain the fight by counteracting the Trump pressure point. EU spokesperson Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t factually want a ceasefire; they want a situation that retains the status quo and neuters Russia’s strategic advantage.

The original information from an FBI whistleblower first surfaced in 2022. Essentially the information was that the DNC contracted law firm of Perkins Coie had an FBI workstation in their DC office since 2012.The Perkins Coie workstation (collocated by the FBI) has access to the NSA database on all Americans, including political figures. The Democrats contracted with Perkins Coie for “political research.” It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to realize what this set up was all about; Perkins Coie could do opposition research on any candidate and feed that information to the DNC for use in their campaigning.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on March 6, making amendments to tariffs recently imposed on Mexico and Canada. According to the orders, goods that fall under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2. The USMCA was enacted during the first Trump administration. “USMCA compliant goods will not have a tariff for the next month until April 2,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement. “That includes autos, and the autos were the lead in getting this deal done.”He said Canada and Mexico have done a good job of offering the United States help in curbing fentanyl trafficking.

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact. The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump ruined former President Joe Biden’s economy without once mentioning high prices or the record high deficit. Goldberg argued that Trump inherited a “very robust” economy, crediting the Biden administration for adding nearly 16 million jobs to the U.S. economy, though she failed to mention this was largely a result of the U.S. recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The co-host also did not mention that inflation rose to a peak of 9% during the Biden administration and that the deficit reached record-breaking levels largely due to the previous White House’s high spending.
