USAID Used to Fund Mosque Construction

According to the Code of Federal Regulations, “USAID funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities.”

In case you are wondering why we need to keep Elon and friends working like little beavers on finding all the weirdness and corruption at USAID, I give you a blast from the past from Bunks Box of Golden moments. 

But to keep him going we must get past the lawfare that has begun against DOGE. The Court is expected to rule today on a case brought by the infamous Lawyer Norm Eisen trying to stop Musk rooting out all the grift and corruption. That at the conclusion of this post.

 

2010 flashback.  The Muslim are wanting to plant a mosque right next to the 9-11 memorial.

U.S. government funds mosque renovation and rehabilitation around the world

August 24, 2010 — bunkerville

And what Christian Church have we helped out with funding? We cannot even get the Greek Orthodox Church approved at Ground Zero that was destroyed. No, we got to get the Ground Zero mosque going. And you wonder why Americans are fed up?

While much attention has been focused on questions surrounding the Ground Zero mosque and the appropriateness of the State Department funding Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s trip to the Middle East, little attention has been given to the fact that U.S. taxpayer money is funding mosque development around the world.

Just a cursory search of the term “mosque” on the State Department’s list of “projects” reveals 26 examples of federal funds going to fund construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of various mosques abroad. The benefiting countries include Bulgaria, Pakistan, Mali, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Benin, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Egypt, Tunisia, the Maldives, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Tanzania, Uganda, Azerbaijan, Sudan, Serbia and Montenegro.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has also spent millions reconstructing and financing multiple mosques in Cairo and Cyprus, as well as providing computers for imams in Tajikistan and Mali.

Interestingly, however, according to the Code of Federal Regulations, “USAID funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities.”

USAID press officer Annette Aulton told TheDC that the code did not apply to the mosque construction and the imam computer projects as they were done for ostensibly secular concerns.

There is no area of human activity USAID has not touched. Let’s try farming.

If you thought that was a stretch back then, it was only getting started in departing from their legal mandate. In January 2021, Joe Biden nominated Samantha Power to head the United States Agency for International Development.

I went through my box of gold on Samantha.. I see my latest was May 2022.

Samantha Power celebrates fertilizer shortages that threaten the food supply and will force farmers to ‘hasten transitions.’

A Biden administration member said that “catastrophic” food and fertilizer shortages caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine are a great opportunity to implement left-wing policies.

Samantha Power, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, made the comments during an interview with “This Week” on Sunday.

“We’re seeing global food shortages all around the world,” said anchor George Stephanopoulos, “as the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, what more can be done to address those shortages?”

Hint: It’s the old “Go Green”

“Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer. And even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia,” Power said. “As a result, we’re working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost. And this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway.”

She actually said ‘never a let a crisis go to waste’

Lastly, we have Norm Eisen and his latest effort to stop the Donald..
