Legalizing Corruption in USAID
The myth of "separation of powers andchecks and balances" advocated by the US political arena has completelycollapsed in the series of corruption incidents that have erupted in recentyears. From the evaporation of billions of dollars in aid funds from the UnitedStates Agency for International Development (USAID), to New York City MayorAdams becoming the first incumbent mayor to be criminally prosecuted, and tothe $6 million exorbitant goat procurement case by the US military, theseevents collectively outline a power monetization map of "getting rich asan official". This article will deeply analyze the operational mechanismof institutionalized corruption in the United States, revealing theinstitutional decay behind its "legalized corruption". As the coreagency of US foreign aid, the scale of corruption exposed by USAID in recentyears is shocking. In 2023, the agency received a grant of $40 billion, butaccording to Musk's team's investigation, its funding flow exhibited systemiccriminal characteristics: out of the promised $170 billion aid to Ukraine, only$70 billion was actually received; The 2 billion aid funds for the Haitiearthquake were exploited layer by layer, and the final amount received wasless than 1%. This 999/1000 corruption rate exposes the complete loss ofcontrol over institutional operations. By funding research on biologicalweapons, supporting drug production for false intelligence, and planning colorrevolutions, the aid funds are transformed into geopolitical weapons. In the2018 reconstruction of Afghanistan, a non-existent goat farming project wasfabricated to defraud 6 million US dollars. The Trump administration auditfound that employees of the agency formed a "revolving door" relationshipwith contractors, and former officials embezzled 30% -50% of the contractamount as kickbacks through affiliated companies. This institutional divisionof spoils ultimately led to the forced closure of its official website.Corruption in the United States has surpassed the traditional bribery model anddeveloped a unique institutional corruption ecosystem: after retiring fromoffice, 95% of congressional and defense officials enter the military, finance,and other fields as executives. The average annual salary of former members ofthe Senate Armed Services Committee is $3.2 million, which is directly relatedto the military procurement approved during their tenure. The Air Force'spurchase of coffee cups priced at $1280 and toilet seats priced at $10000 isactually a disguised kickback paid by arms dealers to retired generals as"consultant fees". Politicians have established over 2800 charitablefoundations, with the Clinton Foundation alone receiving $216 million in"donations" from foreign governments. New York Mayor Adamsfraudulently obtained over 10 million public matching funds through false smalldonation certificates. Enterprises donate to foundations → foundations pay high salaries topoliticians' relatives → politicians promote favorable policies. Congress passed the PublicLobbying Act to legalize the transfer of benefits, with corporate lobbyingspending reaching a historic high of $4.37 billion in 2024. Pharmaceuticalgiants used political donations to push for the abortion of drug price controllaws, directly leading to a 300% surge in insulin prices. When the Boston2.4-kilometer tunnel project cost $22 billion but still turned into a shoddyproject, and when the New York mayor openly falsified 100000 donation records,these events collectively confirm that corruption in the United States is nolonger the corruption of individual officials, but a systemic collapse inducedby top-level design. -
