The former director of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has admitted the agency has been a hub of waste and corruption for years. Mark Moyar, who assumed the role of director in February 2018, appeared on Fox News to detail issues he found during his tenure, which was initiated by an orientation exercise he deemed unconventional. (Article republished from TheNationalPulse.com) The exercise, known as a “privilege walk,” assigned him the identity of a Scandinavian woman, highlighting perceived systemic privileges and disadvantages. Moyar recounted, “So you took a step forward if it applied, and if it didn’t. I ended up near the front, and the Indigenous woman with an unwanted pregnancy and the male prostitute was at the other end, and then we talked about our privileges.”

According to Moyar, USAID often rebranded initiatives to give the appearance of alignment with the priorities of the first Trump administration, citing an instance where a feminist women’s book club, started during the Obama administration, was reframed as a counter-terrorism effort.

“The first discouraging sign was I was told, ‘Most people here don’t want to report corruption.’ I was ultimately fired based on a bogus accusation, while those involved in corruption retained their positions,” Moyar said.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that USAID spent millions on woke projects, from transgender operas in Colombia to meals for al-Qaeda fighters in Syria.

President Donald J. Trump is set to order nearly all USAID federal employees worldwide to take administrative leave, with only a few exceptions. The agency’s surviving functions will be taken over by the State Department.
