Elon Musk made headlines at the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Los Angeles when news broke about his latest initiative. Leading the United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has put a stop to a $21 million taxpayer-funded grant intended to boost voter turnout in India. This grant was just a portion of the $486 million budget tied to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening” that was previously approved under President Biden’s administration.

In addition to the cancellation of funds for India, DOGE uncovered a further $29 million allocated for “strengthening the political landscape in Bangladesh.” This revelation comes amidst political turmoil in Bangladesh, with allegations of U.S. involvement in the removal of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Musk-led department has confirmed the termination of several other overseas projects funded by U.S. taxpayers.

The list of canceled initiatives is extensive. It includes $22 million meant for Moldova’s political process and $40 million for a gender equality hub. Other notable cuts include $47 million intended to improve learning outcomes in Asia and $32 million for the Prague Civil Society Centre.

In Nepal, funding for “fiscal federalism” and “biodiversity conservation” totaling $39 million has been canceled. Mali’s $14 million for social cohesion and Serbia’s $14 million for improving public procurement are also on the chopping block. Mozambique’s voluntary medical male circumcision program, slated to receive $10 million, has been halted as well.

In California, UC Berkeley’s project to develop entrepreneurial skills among Cambodian youth lost its $9.7 million funding. Efforts to promote inclusive democracies in Southern Africa and strengthen independent voices in Cambodia also saw their funds withdrawn. Smaller initiatives, like sustainable recycling models in Kosovo and voter confidence projects in Liberia, faced similar fates.

The political repercussions of these cancellations are already being felt in India. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) for allegedly attempting to meddle in India’s elections through foreign funding. BJP leader Nalin Kohli expressed concerns over U.S. involvement, questioning the motives behind the $21 million allocation.

India’s Congress Party, however, dismissed these allegations, finding them laughable and baseless. Amit Malviya, BJP’s IT cell convener, went further, labeling the grant as external interference in India’s electoral process. He questioned who would benefit from such interventions, suggesting that the ruling party certainly wouldn’t.

In a separate statement, Malviya implicated George Soros, a well-known associate of the Congress Party and the Gandhis. He accused Soros of having undue influence over India’s elections, pointing to a 2012 agreement involving the Election Commission and organizations linked to Soros. Malviya claimed this was part of a broader strategy by the Congress-led UPA to weaken India’s institutions.

The cancellation of these grants has sparked debate over the role of foreign funding in domestic electoral processes. Many see the move by Musk’s DOGE as a step towards ensuring sovereignty and reducing external influence. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between political parties in India, with accusations flying over who is truly serving the nation’s interests.

As various projects lose their funding, the conversation around transparency and foreign interference in politics continues. Critics argue that foreign grants can compromise the independence of national institutions. Proponents of the canceled projects, however, insist they were aimed at fostering global cooperation and development.

The debate also raises questions about the priorities of U.S. foreign aid. With Musk at the helm, DOGE seems committed to scrutinizing and potentially re-evaluating the allocation of taxpayer dollars. This shift reflects broader discussions on the responsibilities of global superpowers in international political landscapes.

While the political ramifications unfold, the cancellation of these projects leaves many in affected countries grappling with the consequences. Communities that stood to benefit from these initiatives must now seek alternative solutions. The impact on global relations and domestic politics in the countries involved remains to be seen.

  • We’ve known for a long time that our government is a corrupt as hell elite club, even comedian George Carlin pointed this out, but tossing $Millions then over time $Billions to $Trillions of Citizen’s Taxpayer funds into a multitude of B.S. excuses like this example in India or any other country to “improve relations between those foreign governments and their citizens voting” is just a backdoor scam deal of “money laundering” right in the open, while “taking the American Citizens to the cleaners,” as the saying goes!

    Let me say this; when is this “stinking POS government” going to “arrest Biden and the rest of his crony stooges and seize all of his material and financial assets” and put it all into the Public’s coffers! Say for example to replenish the “Social Security funds” which Citizens worked for that are disappearing, which the damned to hell Congress has been using as a “backup bank account” for all of “their wasteful spending appropriations or pork-barrel spending!”

    Y’all gonna keep on “shining us on with all these smoke and mirror flashy games” or are you going to “take down all the “perps” once and for all time!” Because if you don’t, eventually in short order the “entire society will collapse into chaos and be a bloody mess,” but, remember not all of “you gloating bloated cheesy pigs” will escape “the wrath” that will be due on your ilk!

    • Heritage President Kevin Roberts told attendees of the EU Patriots Summit in Madrid last week.

      “It is the end of the post-Cold War liberal elite managerial consensus,” Roberts said. “And what Donald Trump is doing with every single executive order—three weeks into his presidency—is drawing a line in the sand and telling them ‘the jig is up.’”
      And while we’re winning, the elites are panicking. “When they fail to win on substance, they simply choose to attack. First, it was Project 2025. Now, it’s DOGE. Different name, same baseless fearmongering,” Roberts told Fox News.

    • What burns me up is how the Communist Democrats such as Adam Shit goes after President Trump, claiming his Presidency was Election interference by Russia and since the Anti-American Communist Muslim Obama interfered in Egypts election and Israel’s election trying to get Benjamin Netenyhaho (sorry for the misspelled) Out, and now Communist Anti-American Biden involved in India’s election pisses me off.!!
      Our Corrupt interfering, lieing, thieving soulless, Demonic Son’s of a Bitches and Bastards in Washington DC are the real threat around the world and the Communist Democrat voters keep falling for they’re lies and put the Anti-American Communist back in office.

      With 2.7 $trillion dollars in Healthcare Fraud missing and Gold missing at Fort Knox and Elon Musk finds out another 6 $trillion dollars is missing and the Communist Democrat voters will still vote them back in.
      It shows you can’t educate stupid in this Country anymore.
      No more nice guy, line all Communist Democrats and Rinos against a wall and shoot the Mother Fuckers.!
      No plea deals, no probation, no prison sentence.
      Treason = Death Penalty period.!

      • Oh don’t get me going on Adam “shit for brains,” if there were straight-out “Rule of Law” in place “that sorry excuse for a human being” would have been silenced quite a while ago! Basically these scums just keep “getting away with murder” as it goes, like they are something above us all, that deserve worship from us, the peasants, when “they actually deserve the fiery pit!”

        And it really is an atrocity what that as you correctly stated, “Anti-American Communist Muslim Obama” got away with in this Nation of ours, and “he goes around laughing and carrying on like we all should be kissing his ass in gratitude” for his considerations or efforts in America “to set us all straight and wake us all up” from our being such degenerates! When “everything he spews and has done here is actually the opposite being totally evil and destructive to anything we hold near and dear to our hearts, even Jesus Christ who is our real hope which he is actually against serving Satan as he does!”

        No I don’t paint a pretty picture, but the reality is, that these and so many other wicked people have been in control of so much along with other even more nefarious devils that are hidden in the shadows and cracks! All of which have done so much damage that I see it as more than any “damage control” can remedy now, when “it should have mostly been prevented from the onset!” But perhaps Michael as you alluded to yesterday, how in June the biggest “round up” happens and hundreds if not thousands of “internal enemies of America and we the actual Citizens,” really be taken into custody and “face the music” that is so very long overdue! It’s so bad my Brother that I immediately can only think of a particular Scripture which comes to mind, as to what it all means!

        Ephesians 6:11-13 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.”

        I have to say it is very sad to admit that I find it nearly impossible to have genuine trust and some lasting hope in men, when it comes to making right what has been so wrong for so long! Where are the real Saints, in all of this, I do pray there really are some, because that’s what we need! But instead most people are either so cowardly or deeply invested in the “powers of this material world” that they too became so lowly or slithering either out of perceived necessity or by eventual design, and then full of schemes to deceive or overpower anyone in their way!

        This closing statement is stark reality of what is so sorely lacking in this F-dup world; “No plea deals, no probation, no prison sentence.
        Treason = Death Penalty period.!”

        That I frankly have to “agree is what it’s come down to,” because none of those demonically guilty involved perps are going to go along with any sort of “half-baked justice or penalties,” we already see how they buck the system even when Trump or anyone with some gravitas even farts in their direction or points fingers! Say like Schumer, they just start talking shit and how “Democracy is at risk” (no their hold on power) and start burning the midnight oil “cranking up the lie machine of Legacy Corporate Media” to indoctrinate and control the masses; like a “bunch of stupid sheeple,” which yes, you’re right; most of them are and will take it all “hook line and sinker!”

        • Very good point there Lawrence, I totally agree.
          One other thing that helps Americans getting rid of lies and propaganda, The Veiw has been canceled.! ABC can nolonger afford the Demonic Communist hate on the Veiw after 30 major lawsuits on defamation.
          I’m celebrating.!

          • No shit??? I thought I heard a few days ago, not being active with social media like I was during the plandemic I really didn’t know if rumors were just swirling; but oh Lord; so glad that it was you that gave me the confirmation Brother, and thank you!

            That is so beautiful Brother, I’m smiling happily here! I can’t even stand thinking about any of those beasts on that evil hellish crazy women tirade outlet, that now is in the dust bin of history’s trash!

            Praise the Lord!

  • what we need to go along with these cuts are the names of the bozo’s who proposed this crap. And then the names of the the congress people who voted to waste our taxpayer dollars. We also need to impose line item vetoes and stick by it. these lowlifes stick this crap in with otherwise legitimate legislation and allocations then turn around and get their kickbacks.
    Keep it up Elon. Expose these POS’s. Then put Pam and Kash to work investigating these bums and throw them in jail.

  • US has many problems needing solved. Money should be spent here on serious remedial activity, not interfering in foreign countries affairs.

  • “Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has put a stop to a $21 million taxpayer-funded grant intended to boost voter turnout in India.”

    INDIA???? Oh fck, NO! Hooray for Elon Musk and DOGE.

    I’m so sick of the DemoRats/Leftists giving our tax money to foreign countries, idol worshippers, Christ-haters, America-haters, perverts, reprobates, savages….

    Meanwhile Legal U.S. Citizens are suffering like, the homeless, the unemployed, the fire victims in California, the flood victims in Asheville, N.C. and other places.
    The U.S. cannot support the entire world or take in the entire 3rd world.
    By the way: how many foreign countries have EVER come to the aid of the U.S.?????

    • Not one Nelson, Communist gives them money and and the foreign governments gives America the finger.
      Communist Democrats have even given The Talliban $400,000,000 a month.! And yet stupid people think the Communist Democrats and Rinos are trust worthy to protect very Country they represent.?
      No they Don’t. The Communist Democrats send Rinos absolutely Hate America and they are enriching the enemies of the United States to come and Destroy all of us.

      • Michael that is the absolute truth because they are serving Satan; don’t anyone doubt that for one minute! They sold their souls for the power and glory they get out of controlling and ruining America while they enrich themselves like the pigs they are!

        This Scripture describes their lot!
        Matthew 25:40-41 “And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ 41Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”
        In the original test that term is understood that the Devil’s angels are the fallen ones, the demons!

    • Nelson thank you for saying all that truth which needs to be kept in the sight of all American Citizens now like never before!
      Amen to that!
