  How is the US propaganda source that statistically only handles a partial clean up of US military and intelligence community actions ‘far right bullshit?’

  If I come into your home, kill your pets, piss in your fridge, and mutilate your children, but then I pay someone to come in and give you some new food so I can print in the news paper that I am kindly and benevolently feeding a victim of a tragedy… am I the good guy?

  No. I am attempting to generate positive propaganda to help people ignore the fact I caused the entire fucking situation to begin with.

  There are no USAID projects that cannot directly be linked to a US military or intelligence operation. None. Not a single one.

    What about the assistance with AIDS, malaria, smallpox, clean water in Nepal, Ebola in Sierra Leon or the disaster relief after the typhoon in the Philippines? Or was that all CIA black ops psyops bullshit.

      The diseases the US has been experimenting with since the 1950s, many times on its own population e.g. the Tuguskee experiments?

        AIDs, smallpox, malaria and ebola came from the US?

    It’s called soft power.

    You can disagree with how it was done, but the results are undeniable (and have only been made more clear since it was shut down)

      People not starving to death or dying of disease is a bad thing, obviously.

      …The results have been terrible for the entire world besides the US.
