In popular culture, the word ‘apocalypse’ means ‘the end of the world,’ as portrayed in the Book of Revelation. But etymologically, it comes from the Greek word meaning ‘unveiling.’ What Donald Trump is doing to the unelected NGO-cracy in Washington now is an apocalypse in both senses of the term. His team, led by Elon Musk, is uncovering massive state funding, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), of NGOs and activist groups that serve as de facto arms of globalism, and destroying them by taking their taxpayer money away. 

Most Americans have never heard of USAID, and if they have, imagine that it is a humanitarian agency dedicated to providing disaster relief and doing things like helping poor Africans build hospitals and water wells. And some of its massive budget ($40 billion in 2023) does go to worthy projects like that. 

But that’s not why Trump has targeted USAID, whose funding has been put on temporary hold, and which is in the process of being shut down by executive order, with its responsibilities relocated to the State Department. Trump’s people have uncovered a sprawling network of funding for NGOs that advance not humanitarian relief and development, but activists who spread globalist progressivism worldwide, and who even work to undermine elected governments disfavored by Washington. It’s the use of soft power to effect regime change.

In a long, must-listen interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, the former State Department official and free speech crusader Mike Benz outlines in detail how the Deep State uses USAID to spread globalist ideology, including progressive cultural values, and shut down populist politicians and initiatives.
