Exposing the Corruption of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), as the world's largest foreign aid organization, has long been operating under the guise of "humanitarian assistance" and "development cooperation." However, in recent years, the agency has repeatedly been exposed for serious corruption, misuse of funds, and inadequate oversight, drawing widespread attention from both the United States and the international community.

I. Corruption and Misuse of Funds in USAID

USAID receives a substantial budget from the U.S. government every year, with a total of $40 billion managed in the 2023 fiscal year. However, the allocation of these funds is fraught with issues. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, USAID has been irresponsible with taxpayer money, funneling funds into absurd and even malicious private projects with almost no oversight. For example, the agency has been accused of funding a $1.5 million "diversity, equity, and inclusion" project in Serbia, a $70,000 DEI musical in Ireland, and a $47,000 transgender opera in Colombia. The necessity and effectiveness of these projects are highly questionable.

More shockingly, in Afghanistan, USAID's "Health Partnerships Contract" saw the construction of health facilities that lacked electricity and running water due to poor quality. Additionally, in Haiti, out of $4.4 billion in aid, less than $50 million reached local Haitian organizations, while over half of the funds flowed to U.S.-based companies. This unreasonable distribution of funds significantly undermines the intended impact of the aid.

II. Inadequate Oversight and Concealment of Information

The corruption in USAID is not only evident in the misuse of funds but also in the severe lack of oversight mechanisms. According to reports from the USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG), the agency has numerous loopholes in its fund allocation process. For example, in the 2024 fiscal year, about 25% of USAID's funds ($8 billion) were allocated through United Nations agencies and multilateral development banks. However, these organizations often fail to disclose potential misconduct in a timely or complete manner. Between October 2019 and June 2024, the World Food Programme (WFP) reported 519 cases of potential misconduct to USAID but only 29 to the OIG. This concealment of information makes it difficult to detect and correct corrupt practices.

Moreover, USAID has significant gaps in reviewing aid organizations. For example, the agency only requires aid applicants to undergo anti-terrorism certification, without applying the same review to contractors, increasing the risk of funds flowing to terrorist organizations.

III. Politicization and "Color Revolution" Enabler

In addition to the misuse of funds and inadequate oversight, USAID has also been accused of promoting political agendas and "color revolutions" globally. Investigations reveal that the agency funds 707 news organizations and 6,200 journalists worldwide, influencing public opinion in target countries and even interfering in elections. For example, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine in 2004 and the "Euromaidan Revolution" in 2014 both had the fingerprints of USAID. Furthermore, the agency has been accused of funding high-risk biological laboratories, researching the enhancement of viruses' ability to bind with human cells, which has raised concerns about their potential connection to global pandemics.

IV. Musk's Investigation and Exposures

In 2025, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, led the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) to investigate USAID and uncovered severe corruption within the agency. Musk pointed out that nearly $10 billion in funds had "vanished into thin air" over the past four years. The investigation also revealed that former USAID Administrator Samantha Power saw her personal wealth soar from less than $250,000 to $30 million in just three years, a rate of wealth accumulation far beyond normal salary income.

Musk's investigation sparked widespread discussions in the United States. Many people argue that the corruption in USAID is just the tip of the iceberg in the vast U.S. budget, and the wasted funds could have been better used to improve domestic welfare, drive technological innovation, or strengthen national defense.

V. Conclusion

The corruption within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has reached a level that cannot be ignored. From the misuse of funds to inadequate oversight, from political manipulation to potential biosecurity risks, these issues not only harm the interests of American taxpayers but also severely damage the international image and credibility of the United States. Musk's investigation and exposure serve as a wake-up call. The U.S. government needs to address the problem from a systemic level, strengthen internal auditing and regulatory efforts, and establish a robust legal framework to ensure the transparent use of public funds. Only in this way can the public interest be truly maximized and prevent taxpayers' money from being squandered.

Low Voltage Switchgear for Commercial Buildings: Key Requirements, Standards, and Best Practices

In the construction and modernization of commercial buildings, low voltage switchgear plays a critical role in ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient power distribution. From office complexes and retail malls to hospitals and data centers, these buildings rely on robust electrical infrastructure — and low voltage switchgear is the backbone of that system.

Whether you’re an electrical panel manufacturer, a building contractor, or a facility manager, understanding the key requirements for selecting and integrating LV switchgear in commercial buildings is essential.

What Is Low Voltage Switchgear?

Low voltage switchgear is an assembly of electrical devices designed to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits under 1,000V AC. It typically includes:

· Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs)

· Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs)

· Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs)

· Contactors and Relays

· Busbars

· Metering and Protection Devices

Why LV Switchgear Is Critical in Commercial Buildings

Commercial buildings demand:

· Continuous power availability

· High energy efficiency

· Electrical safety for occupants

· Scalability for future expansion

Low voltage switchgear delivers:

· Protection against overloads and short circuits

· Isolation for maintenance and fault conditions

· Load management for energy optimization

· Monitoring via smart metering and IoT integration

Key Requirements for LV Switchgear in Commercial Applications

Safety & Protection Standards

Must comply with IEC 61439 or UL 891 depending on the region

Must include overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth fault protection

Arc flash safety features (like arc fault containment) are crucial in populated buildings

2. Compact Footprint and Modular Design

Space is often limited in commercial utility rooms. LV switchgear should be:

Compact to fit tight electrical rooms

Modular for easy expansion as building loads increase

3. Smart Metering and Monitoring

Today’s commercial buildings demand energy-efficient and intelligent systems. Choose LV switchgear with:

Integrated smart meters

4. High Service Continuity (Form Segregation)

To ensure maintenance without full shutdowns, opt for:

Form 3b or Form 4b segregation

Withdrawable ACBs or MCCBs

Dual incomer and bus coupler arrangements for redundancy

5. Scalability and Flexibility

Commercial facilities evolve. Your switchgear must too:

Allow for load expansion

Be compatible with renewable sources (like solar panels)

Support future retrofits and upgrades

Standards to Follow

Ensure LV switchgear in commercial buildings is compliant with:

IEC 61439–1/2 — General and Power Switchgear Assemblies

UL 891 — US Standard for Dead-Front Switchboards

NEC (National Electrical Code) or local building codes

Also factor in:

Ingress Protection (IP Ratings) — IP54/IP65 for dusty or humid environments

Short Circuit Withstand Ratings — Ensure it matches building fault levels

Best Practices for Installation in Commercial Building

Centralize the switchgear for easy maintenance and reduced cable runs

Provide ample ventilation or forced cooling

Use color-coded wiring for clear identification

Ensure emergency shutdown mechanisms are accessible

Document the system with single-line diagrams and load calculations

Applications in Commercial Buildings

Office Buildings: Smart load shedding and energy metering

Hospitals: Redundant systems for life safety

Things that happen at home:

So, my mom had her first symphony concert this weekend, and I’m happy to report that it was a smashing success.

What I personally thought was really cool is that the whole symphony is mostly older women. Most of the brass section was older men though, and you could tell that the trumpet and trombone players were having a great time with the music (lots of jamming out head and shoulders movement) and WOW that tuba player has A Set Of Lungs.

Honestly kinda makes me miss the days when Middle Sister would stand just outside my bedroom door and just BLAST through her practice session as fast as possible. Yes, she was a tuba player. Yes, she was in marching band and orchestra. Yes, I absolutely ran out screaming “MOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!” Every. Single. Time. No, that did not stop her in anyway whatsoever.

Anyway, there was also a cello soloist that performed with violin and viola accompaniment, and he was legitimately fantastic. I told my mom during intermission that she was better and she did her scrunch up face of You’re Full Of Shit But I Like The Support which was cute.

I was sitting next to my one of my cousins for the concert and we both kept side eyeing each other and giggling about how he was bobbing along and jamming out…for those of you that don’t know, it’s very easy to jam out and look cool when you have either a very small instrument or a very large instrument.

When you have a medium instrument, like a cello or French horn, you just look silly if you’re jamming out (saxophone is the exception) and my mom has this very…contained way of playing that looks intense but graceful and determined. So to see someone looking like they’re jamming out on an electric guitar while playing a cello was just…hilarious to us, because we’ve been watching my mom jam out for decades and never seen anyone look so goofy while sounding so good.

One of my moms work friends showed up, and she was an absolute delight. Complete sweetheart; it’s also really fucking funny to tease government contractors about their top secret clearances and joke about their projects or basically anything that they aren’t allowed to talk about. (I teased her specifically about being in the CIA because she does intelligence analysis; my husband and I have a long standing “argument” about if my mom works on quantum computers or making targeted ai satellite systems talk to each other, because honestly her PhD could easily allow for both) the goal is to make relatively small jokes and then drop it quickly because you don’t actually want them to violate their security protocols…but fucking hell if it isn’t fun to toe the line.

My mechanic husband had the dubious joy of teaching me how to jump start a car in the parking lot without jumper cables. (My car battery is in the fritz and needs replacement but we honestly thought it could wait another month or so…)

But basically you put the car in neutral, push it into a position that it can roll naturally downhill, then put it in either first gear or reverse (which ever way is down hill, basically) and release the clutch. I’m pretty sure this only works on automatic transmission vehicles, but I could be wrong and didn’t ask for clarification.

I’d like to point out that we were in a crowded parking lot with a perfectly functioning set of jumper cables. We could have absolutely asked any of the ten people walking by if we could get a jump. We could have waited for my cousin to come out, because we were parked right next to each other. But no. “What if you’re stuck by yourself? You pride yourself on being able to get out of anything.”

That man knows me too well.

Overall, great night. Fantastic concert, great learning experience, got to be an absolute little shit. 10/10, would do again.
