🚨 Audit USAID: Then Shut it Down #231

About this episode

This article from the Mises Institute argues for the abolishment of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The author contends that USAID is not a legitimate disaster relief agency, but rather a tool for regime change and the spread of US propaganda, citing examples in Ukraine and alleging involvement in funding gain-of-function research. Concerns are raised about the lack of transparency and accountability within USAID. The author proposes a full audit followed by the agency’s closure, advocating for private organizations to handle disaster relief efforts. The article is published on a website promoting Austrian economics and individual freedom.
