I will have a more extensive article on this subject later in the week, but suffice it to say that the UN’s
World Food Program headed by Cindy McCain is a deeply dishonest and dangerous organization.
Even USAID’s watchdog questioned the lack of oversight in the massive funding going to the group which has repeatedly lied about a fake famine inside Israel, in Gaza, and which operates in enemy terror states.
Now, after an initial announcement that the WFP’s funding was pulled, it’s being put back.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) reversed course Tuesday and restored several of the World Food Programme’s lifesaving humanitarian aid contracts after canceling them over the weekend, a source familiar told CNN.
The reversal comes after the World Food Programme warned Monday that the cuts could “amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation.” The UN agency said it had received notice from the Trump administration “indicating that funding for emergency food assistance in 14 countries has been terminated.”
According to the source familiar, USAID restored its funding for WFP programs in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Ecuador and Somalia.
Most of those are Islamic terror states. The good news is they don’t seem to include the funding for programs in Afghanistan and Yemen, but it’s still terrible.
The WFP has a long history of ‘crying famine’ and claiming that cutting off money to it will kill millions.
It lied about the famine in Gaza. Before that there were similar lies about a famine in Yemen. The supposed famines in Syria and Afghanistan likewise remain dubious. Terrorists fake famines to make money. From us.
Dismantling USAID is worth little if we continue sending money to some of its biggest contractors, vendors and affiliates like the UN’s WFP. Funding the WFP doesn’t save lives. Considering that WFP continues doing business in Islamic terror states, funding the WGP is more likely to cost lives.
