More USAID Fraud? Billions Of US Tax Dollars Are Missing From Haiti Relief Projects

There are those that say all government aid is a scam in one way or another, and so far the revelations surrounding USAID are proving those people right daily.  Democrats and the establishment media, in a bid to muddy the waters and save face, continue to claim that there was never any fraud at USAID and that the Trump Administration is simply labeling projects they “disagree with” as suspect. 

Of course, spending American tax dollars on projects the public never asked for and were never told about is the epitome of fraud, and waste is never a good thing.  Beyond that, the question of billions in missing funds certainly falls into the category of criminality. 

Trump has taken a lot of heat from the media with the shut down of USAID and much of the criticism suggests that without US funds people in third world countries will fall back into desperation.  The Washington Post recently claimed that Trump’s cuts to USAID are a “gift to Haitian gangs” terrorizing the locals; a typical leftist appeal to emotion that assumes most of the funds were getting to the Haitians in the first place. 

Yet another example of this problem has been revealed in a New York Post expose on the audit of USAID which shows a disturbing shortfall in funds surrounding ongoing relief projects in Haiti.  The Post notes:

“Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti killed as many as 300,000 people, the US government has disbursed around $4.4 billion in foreign assistance to the small island nation.

At least $1.5 billion was disbursed for immediate humanitarian aid, while another $3 billion went to recovery, reconstruction and development.

Of the at least $2.13 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work, less than $50 million, or 2% went to Haitian organizations or firms. By comparison, $1.3 billion, or 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the US capitol. Little wonder USAID is so threatened by the sudden scrutiny.

It remains unclear how exactly the billions have been spent and whether US tax dollars have had a sustainable impact. USAID and its vendors have generally failed to make such data public…”

The exposure of USAID by DOGE actually confirms long running suspicions of mishandled aid.  Some Haitian reporters warned about this disappearing money years ago under the Obama Administration.  USAID funds to Haiti were dispersed in part through the Clinton Foundation.

Joe Biden’s Legacy: Waging Proxy Wars, Spreading Terrorism and Killing Diplomacy

As the sun sets on Joe Biden’s presidency, the Commander-in-Chief and his top staffers are using their final moments in power to convince the American people that we live in a safer and more stable world.

“The United States is winning the worldwide competition compared to four years ago,” Biden declared Monday. “America is stronger. Our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker.”

The claims that America is winning and strong are as laughable as when the mainstream media repeatedly attempted to convince the American people that Biden is as “sharp as a tack.”

Americans have witnessed Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive decline over the past four years, which perfectly personifies the American empire. Rather than becoming stronger, the treasury and arms depots were exhausted for the benefit of Ukraine and Israel. America is bankrupt; economic prosperity is increasingly elusive for the average citizen and enjoyed only by an exclusive class with access to government power.

Haitian gang leader ‘massacred more than 100 people claiming witchcraft killed his son’

A Haitian gang leader is accused of ordering the massacre of more than 100 people, including elderly religious leaders, to avenge the death of his son.

The killings reportedly took place between Friday and Saturday in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti’s capital.

According to the National Human Rights Defense Network, Micanor Altès, also known as Monel Felix and Wa Mikanò, sought the advice of a Vodou priest after his son fell ill.

The human rights organization said that following the boy’s death, Altès began to accuse older people in the community of ‘of practicing witchcraft and harming the child.’

The Cooperative for Peace and Development learned that gunmen swept up community leaders in the Cité Soleil neighborhood and took them to Altès’ stronghold, where they were murdered along with motorcycle drivers who attempted to intervene.

‘He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and (Vodou) practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of casting a bad spell on his son,’ the group said.

The Cooperative for Peace and Development found that that there’s a ban on people leaving the community ‘in order to continue to identify (Vodou) practitioners and the elderly with the aim of carrying out the silent killing.’

Haiti’s government in a statement Monday acknowledged the massacre and said that more than 100 people were killed.

While reports of the number of dead in Port-au-Prince tend to vary in a country where such killings often occur in gang-controlled, largely inaccessible areas, the government vowed to seek justice for the ‘unspeakable carnage.’

Overrun By Haitian Migrants, These Alabama Towns Could Be The Next Springfield

As van loads of Haitian migrants began arriving over the summer, residents in Alabama started to wonder whether their already-swelling community could handle the influx. 

Not satisfied with the answers they were getting from local officials, Jarrod and Amanda Schulte started investigating for themselves. They soon found themselves walking around north Athens, a run-down part of the city where migrants from all over the world live in dilapidated homes.

“What we found was not very pretty,” Jarrod Schulte told The Daily Wire. “The city of Athens, our politicians, they all need to do better.”

The Schultes and others in Alabama worry that their cities will become the next Springfield, Ohio, where a large influx of Haitian migrants was accompanied by a surge in crime and traffic accidents. Springfield made national headlines after former President Donald Trump mentioned the city during the September presidential debate, during a discussion of the impacts of mass migration on small cities across the country, not just in border states. Similar problems have arisen in Pennsylvania and Indiana, where residents worry their small cities don’t have enough resources to handle the influx.

The Daily Wire traveled to Athens and spoke to more than a dozen current residents, consisting of both longtime residents and migrants. The concern is not only that migrants are impacting the lives of those who were already there, straining already scarce resources in the town, but also the lives that migrants lead upon arrival.

Pierre-Marc, a 44-year-old Haitian migrant in Athens whom the Schultes befriended, is currently living alongside four other Haitian adults and two children in a rundown home in north Athens. 

When Pierre-Marc first met the Schultes, the facade of his home was covered in peeling paint and dotted with cracked windows. There was no furniture in the home, and residents washed their clothes in the sink they shared.

Shock Video: Haitian in Springfield Carves Up Animal in Public

A Haitian migrant was filmed butchering an animal in Springfield, Ohio, providing first-hand confirmation of the illegal migrants’ strange culinary habits highlighted recently by conservatives.

In a video uploaded by journalist Taylor Hansen at the Red Couch Village apartment complex, a migrant can be seen processing a small animal.

“A Haitian is caught on video chopping an animal apart with a machete in public,” Hansen captioned the video posted to X Monday evening.

Filmed surreptitiously through an apartment window screen, it’s unclear what type of animal the man is carving; however, he is seen slicing several filets off the carcass, likely for future consumption.

The video comes as the mainstream media has attempted to downplay claims that Haitians in the area have been feasting on local wildlife, while residents claim pets have been mysteriously disappearing, feared to have been consumed or sacrificed for ritualistic purposes.

The disturbing accounts were highlighted by former President Donald Trump during his debate last month with Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, who scoffed at the claims.

Oregon mom, daughter indicted for trafficking Haitians in ‘indentured servitude’ at adult care home: DOJ

An Oregon mom and daughter have been indicted by the Department of Justice on human trafficking and forced labor charges. The pair allegedly put three Haitians, including a minor, in “indentured servitude” at an adult care home they owned and operated in Tigard, a city located southwest of Portland, according to a press release from the Justice Department.

Marie Gertrude Jean Valmont, 66, and Yolandita Marie Andre, 30, are accused of using violence and threats to force their victims to work long hours for little or no pay. The seven-count indictment charges both of them with conspiring with one another to commit forced labor, committing forced labor, and benefitting from forced labor.

Court documents state that Valmont and Andre, the owners and operators of Velida’s Care Home in Tigard, began their human trafficking scheme in Sept. 2023, when they convinced two adults and a child from Haiti to travel to the United States to work at their care home.

After arriving in the Portland area, the victims were immediately taken to Velida’s where they were allegedly forced to work long, arduous 17-hour days for little or no pay. Valmont and Andre are alleged to have taken the victims’ immigration paperwork and forbade them from leaving Velida’s under any circumstances. Additionally, Valmont is alleged to have thrown items at the victims, threatened to send them back to Haiti and have them killed, and threatened to call police to make false theft allegations against them, according to the indictment.

Report: 16 pet cats disappear in Bangor, Maine … which just had an influx of Haitian migrants

Residents in Bangor, Maine have reported 16 recent incidents in which pet cats have suddenly gone missing.

Catholic Charities in Maine reported about 100 migrants from 11 countries were sent to Bangor in fiscal year 2024.

The new arrivals came from Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan.

And Haiti.

Residents in Springfield, Ohio, which has seen 20,000 Haitian migrants arrive in their town, also reported missing pets.

“Is it wild animals or wild migrants? Nobody knows, because nothing has been properly investigated,” Revolver News noted.

ABC News is already quick to dismiss the Bangor story.

“How do they know that so quickly? Where’s the evidence showing they actually investigated and got to the bottom of it? Don’t hold your breath, because once again, they didn’t bother to do their job,” Revolver News wrote.

“Well, we know better than to take the mainstream media at face value, and neither should you. That’s why we’re digging deeper, gathering all the information we can, and sharing it with you—so you can see the full picture for yourself.”

The problem in Springfield is a lack of common sense

The Springfield, Ohio, story is just the latest example of opening the border and its consequences. How do you expect a city of 40,000 to absorb 20,000 new residents? You can’t, and the local reaction is exactly logical. Again, put yourself in their shoes and how would you react?

Senator Marco Rubio was on Face the Nation and explained this whole thing very well. Let’s check out what he said:

I think one of the problems here is that somehow Americans who are not intolerant, they’re not bigots, they’re not — but they are troubled by the fact that their city is being flooded. In Springfield, you see reports, these are legitimate reports of huge increases in traffic accidents leading to slower police response time, overcrowded schools. I mean the strain this puts on a community, and if you complain about it, somehow you’re a bigot, you’re a racist, you’re a hater —

That is a story here that everyday Americans are being made to feel like they’re haters because they’re complaining about something al — any of us would complain. If any of us, I don’t care who we are, live in a city of 4,000 people, and you bring in 2,500 migrants overnight into one place, there are going to be problems there.

And that’s right. As a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen, I understand how these people feel. Legal immigration is orderly for a reason. You must control how people come into the country, under what conditions and put them through common sense vetting.

Biden-Harris initiative could be giving well over $1 billion in federal benefits to Haitian migrants

A Biden administration migrant welfare program could be handing out in excess of $1 billion in benefits to those crossing the Southern Border.

The CHNV program has allowed hundreds of thousands of nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the US. 

It allows 30,000 migrants to apply for asylum each month and be flown to the US on the taxpayer dollar, as long as they have a sponsor who passes a background check. 

The undocumented migrants are given a two-year grace period to obtain status and in the meantime can live and work lawfully in the country on ‘humanitarian parole.’

According to figures from Border Protection, over 520,000 migrants from the four countries were paroled into the US between January 2023 and June of this year. 

This was broken down into 109,000 Cubans, 205,000 Haitians, 90,000 Nicaraguans, and 115,000 Venezuelans. 

Haitians and Cubans that are involved with the program are immediately eligible for taxpayer-funded federal benefits like Medicaid, food stamps and welfare. 

Analysis by DailyMail.com indicates that the Medicaid cost, which costs around $9,175 per enrollee, would cost $1.8 billion if every Haitian who entered the country received it. 

SNAP benefits, more commonly known as food stamps, would cost the country $451 million, with general welfare benefits climbing to $1.2 billion. 

The three figures take the overall spend on benefits only to over an eyewatering $3.4 billion. 

Even if only a quarter of the Haitians are getting all the benefits they are entitled to receive, that figure would stand at $850 million.

Average costs were obtained from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Department of Health & Human Services, and a Medicaid Commission.

Court documents show that the vetting process isn’t stringent, with an approval rating of 98.3 percent for Haitian applicants from January to June of last year.

REVEALED: Border Czar Kamala Harris Purposely Sent At Least 80% of Haitian and CHNV Migrants to Red States That Did Not Vote for Her — When Do They Sue Her?

Elon Musk retweeted a post today by @fentasl on X on Joe and Kamala’s Haitian migrants flown into the United States.

81% of the Haitian migrants – 362,000 out of 448,000 – were flown into red states.

These are the states that refused to vote for Joe and Kamala or that they could not steal.

Elon Musk chimed in: “Massive voter importation to make swing states permanently blue and turn America into a one-party state. It is rational from the Democratic Party standpoint, as it guarantees victory if successful.”
