He who humbles himself shall be exalted, and he who exalts himself shall be humbled. When will Israel learn?
by Ron Paul | Feb 3, 2025
As of this writing, when you attempt to access the US Agency for International Development (USAID) website or social media pages you are informed that, “This site can’t be reached.” The media reports that the new Trump Administration has not only frozen USAID activities but may be planning on bringing it back under control of the US State Department. Other reports, including statements by Elon Musk, suggest that it will be closed completely.
If true, the closing of USAID may be one of the most significant changes President Trump has made among many dramatic actions in his first couple of weeks in office. Many Americans may still have the idea that USAID is a government agency delivering relief at disaster sites overseas. They may still remember the bags of rice or grain with the USAID logo on them. But that is not USAID.
USAID is a key component of the US government’s “regime change” operations worldwide. USAID spends billions of dollars every year propping up “NGOs” overseas that function as shadow governments, eating away at elected governments that the US interventionists want to overthrow. Behind most US foreign policy disasters overseas you will see the fingerprints of USAID. From Ukraine to Georgia and far beyond, USAID is meddling in the internal affairs of foreign countries – something that would infuriate Americans if it was happening to us.
When President Trump ordered a 90 day pause in USAID activities, we quickly learned just how pernicious the agency really is. The US media reported that Ukrainian press outlets were scrambling to keep their doors open when the US dollars stopped flowing. It is reported that 90 percent of the media outlets are funded by the US government!
This means that there is virtually no independent media in Ukraine, only fake news outlets willing to toe the US Administration’s propaganda line. Does anyone think these wholly US-funded “news” outlets would ever publish a story that the US government did not want published?
This is plainly immoral, but it is also dangerous. Most US mainstream media stories about Ukraine have their origins in the “reporting” of the local media. From battlefield news to casualties to the state of the Ukrainian military, the “news” from Ukraine is being written by US government-backed media outlets and then picked up by US and other western media. It is a closed propaganda loop that not only propagandizes the US citizen but also feeds false information into US government outlets – such as Congress – that rely on mainstream US media reporting for their news on Ukraine.
No wonder so many in Washington continue to support this hopeless war!
But USAID is not just in the business of disinformation. Elon Musk recently re-posted a New York Post article on X reporting that USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab! Did USAID help fund COVID? Americans have a right to know.
In natural catastrophes overseas Americans have shown themselves to be extremely generous. Private volunteer assistance organizations can more effectively assist victims of disasters worldwide.
USAID needs a full and transparent audit. Americans deserve to know exactly what is being done in their name overseas. Then the agency needs to be shuttered completely, and its employees sent home. That would go a long way toward making America great again.

The Trojan horse was the earliest recorded military psyop. That psyop continues to be deployed on unsuspecting populations and it is just as useful as ever, but today’s tricksters have donned the mantle of philanthropy, and their Trojan horses are not wooden statues but non-governmental organizations offering “aid” to foreign nations. In today’s edition of The Corbett Report, we’ll learn about how NGOs are the deep state’s Trojan horses.
Troy, 12th century BC.
The Greeks’ decade-long siege of Troy is drawing to a close. The cunning Odysseus has hit upon a plan to subvert the Trojans’ defenses. The Greeks build a giant wooden horse and then pretend to sail away, leaving the horse at the gates of Troy as an apparent offering to the goddess Athena. The Trojans, believing the gift will make their city impregnable, take it within the city gates.
But it is a trick. Odysseus and his men are hidden inside the hollow horse and they emerge during the night to open the gates and let in the Greek army, who have returned to take the city. The Trojans don’t get a chance to learn from their mistake; the Greeks sack the city and massacre its inhabitants.
The Trojan horse was the earliest recorded military psyop. The lesson of the story, recorded in the counsel to “beware of Greeks bearing gifts,” is that we should not let down our defenses when an erstwhile enemy offers us aid. Today, that counsel is as useful as ever, but today’s tricksters have donned the mantle of philanthropy, and their Trojan horses are not wooden statues but non-governmental organizations offering “aid” to foreign nations.
The bitter truth is that in a surprising number of cases, NGOs are the Deep State’s Trojan Horses.
This is The Corbett Report.
In 2015, Kyrgyzstan made what might seem at first glance to be a surprising move: It canceled a cooperation treaty with the US that had been in place since 1993. The treaty granted tax breaks and customs privileges to organizations like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and gave their workers diplomatic immunity in the country. All of that came to an end after the US granted a human rights award to Azimjon Askarov, an activist swept up and thrown in jail for life for “creating a threat to civil peace and stability in society” after the Uzbek riots in South Kyrgyzstan in 2010.
Reaction from the usual Western outlets was swift and predictable: Kyrgyzstan has lost its mind. Or, to be more precise: It’s all Putin’s fault. Somehow. But don’t worry, the US will continue aiding Kyrgyzstan anyway, whether they like it or not, because that’s just how they roll. Go, Team America!
But Kyrgyzstan is not the only country to crack down on “aid” from foreign NGOs. In the last few years a series of countries, including Russia, China and India, have passed laws placing stricter controls on the operations of these organizations within their borders.
President Trump revealed a historic collaboration between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle to launch “Stargate,” an AI infrastructure project aimed at solidifying the United States’ position as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
Stargate to Tyranny—A Dire Warning for Liberty
The announcement of the $500 billion "Stargate Project" heralds a terrifying future that many will embrace under the guise of innovation, economic growth, and competition with China.
But make no mistake—this is not a race we want to win. This sudden leap into AI infrastructure, spearheaded by President Trump and a cabal of corporate titans like Larry Ellison, Sam Altman, and Masayoshi Son, is not about progress for the people.
It’s about consolidating power, deepening surveillance, and constructing a digital panopticon that will forever enslave the American people under a technocratic boot.
Let’s consider what this really means. Over 100,000 "high-quality jobs"? Sure, but what are those jobs building? Not tools of liberty, not a better future for free men and women, but a system that will monitor, track, and control every aspect of your life.
With SoftBank, Oracle, OpenAI, and MGX as the puppet masters, this infrastructure will not serve the Constitution or the Republic—it will serve corporations and a centralized, globalist agenda.
We’ve seen what happens when technology and unchecked power collide. During COVID-19, tech giants suppressed dissent, censored life-saving information, and amplified propaganda, all under the guise of "public safety."
What do you think AI infrastructure, operating at a national level with government and corporate backing, will do?
You won’t just be shadowbanned for wrongthink; you’ll be digitally imprisoned. Your financial transactions, communications, and even your thoughts will be policed by an algorithm that doesn't answer to you.
And let’s not forget history. The same government that neutered your right to form militias with the Militia Act of 1903, that sold your economic sovereignty to the Federal Reserve in 1913, now wants you to trust it to lead the "AI race"?
These are the people who handed over billions to foreign wars while Appalachia drowns and California burns. These are the same forces who will use AI to enforce tyranny, not liberty.
This isn’t about beating China. It’s about turning America into a digital dystopia that would make Orwell blush. AI doesn't need a race—it needs reins. It needs constitutional oversight, not a blank check from billionaires and technocrats.
The fight for freedom didn’t end in 1776. It didn’t end in 1903. And it doesn’t end here. Stay vigilant.
The Stargate may promise the stars, but its doors could lead us straight into the abyss.
Yes, I know that is actually Grok drawing an assembled DNA strand and a “Stargate”. I tried and tried, but Grok just could not understand what mRNA structure looks like, and does not know the difference between DNA and mRNA. Which tells you something about “Artificial Intelligence.”

The immigration bill, which garnered 48 Democratic votes, passed 264-159.

The House passed a measure that would require the detention of any undocumented immigrant charged with theft or burglary as its first piece of legislation in the new Congress on Tuesday afternoon. The Laken Riley Act, named after a nursing student who was killed in February by a man in the country illegally, passed 264-159 with the support of all voting Republicans and 48 House Democrats.
The bill would amend federal law to require that Immigration and Customs Enforcement issue detainers and take custody of undocumented immigrants who commit theft-related crimes, including shoplifting. The bill would allow state attorneys general to sue the homeland security secretary if immigration actions, such as parole, harm a state or its citizens.
More House Democrats backed the bill than the 37 Democrats who supported it when it came to a vote last year. That bill was blocked in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Georgia) reintroduced the Riley Act with better chances of success given Republicans now control the House and Senate. Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Alabama) introduced the Laken Riley Act on Tuesday in the upper chamber, joined by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania). That bill would require that ICE arrest and deport undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes.
Whoever voted against it needs to be voted out of office! Because if it was any of their children, they would’ve passed it get those names and vote them out.
Below is a breakdown of how each member voted.
So, you wanna know what we learned this year?
Well, I can take two approaches here. Either I can be my usual sarcastic self and lampoon all the ridiculous things the establishment and their media lapdogs tried to shove down our throats this year, or I can be sincere and highlight things that we really should learn from the preceding 12 months.
“The truth is like a lion. You do not need to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.'' -Saint Augustine.
Each Sheriff of Each County Is The Boss...Posse Comitatus: Posse comitatus is Latin for “the power of the county.” It refers to the authority that sheriffs and some other law enforcement officials had at common law to gather a group of citizens to pursue lawbreakers. Posse comitatus is a Latin phrase meaning “the power of the county.” Posse comitatus describes a group of citizens who are called upon to assist a sheriff in keeping the peace, to conduct a rescue, or to apprehend a criminal. The ability of a sheriff to assemble a posse and even the extent of powers that a sheriff can delegate to that posse vary depending on the jurisdiction. Some posses engage in volunteer services while others can act as reserve police officers, if needed.
Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter is the most sweeping Presidential pardon since Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. It represents the deep corruption and contempt for the rule of law that has characterized the Biden presidency. But it is also important for another reason: the pardon is an attempt to erase the Biden family involvement with Ukraine from the time of the 2014 coup through the millions that passed into family accounts. Our current state of near WWIII is directly tied to the Biden family seeking personal riches in Ukraine.

Are we overlooking the real backbone of America? Charlie Kirk breaks down how Donald Trump reached the heart of the “muscular class” — hardworking Americans who don’t necessarily have a college degree but bring essential wisdom and resilience. Kirk argues that this group, often belittled by political elites, showed up in record numbers, especially among young voters, to push back against a narrative that sidelined them. In a powerful analysis, Kirk highlights how this grassroots movement shattered expectations and sent a message: education alone doesn’t define value or patriotism.
Why are European leaders suddenly scrambling to align with Trump? In this thought-provoking analysis, Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the global reaction to Trump’s undeniable mandate. From foreign leaders' desperate outreach to unexpected geopolitical shifts, Hanson reveals how Trump's unpredictability and MAGA strategy are reshaping alliances and defying traditional norms.
With a sharp lens on Trump's selection of J.D. Vance as a key ally, Hanson explains how unconventional choices and unyielding loyalty to the MAGA agenda are redefining Republican strategy. .

How the president-elect will save Britain, starting with the Chagos Islands
Yesterday was a bad day for those who endorse "America first" in our foreign policy. With reported Trump appointments of neocons Elise Stefanik (UN Ambassador), Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor), and...Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), many who hoped that Trump 2.0 would be different than Trump 1.0 are feeling dejected and betrayed. Is there any hope left? Also today: Iran strongly denied any plan to assassinate Trump - who's lying?

Elon Musk is expected to be involved in a President Trump administration that seeks to make government more efficient. Ron Paul told podcaster David Gornoski that he would welcome any opportunity to advise Elon Musk on economic policy.
Gornoski asked if he would consider advising Musk on wasteful spending, Paul said, “Well I would … Everybody would know what I believe, and there’d be no secrets, but I wouldn’t want an official position, you know, because I’ve sort of steered away from getting too involved in the politics of it all right now.” Paul said he views his role now as one of educating the public about the dangers of unfettered government growth.
