USAID Funding, Media Manipulation and Economic Hitmen
The conversation details the extensive reach of USAID, alleging it funds thousands of journalists and media outlets like Politico and the Associated Press to drive specific narratives. Greg Carlwood references John Perkins' book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," which identifies USAID as a funding arm for corporate interests and global resource control. The hosts discuss the rapid slashing of these programs under the new administration as a positive but complex development.
