The Truth Is Out There

USAID and Soros-Backed NGO Sparked Nepal’s Youth Revolution. Other Countries Including The US Would Be Wise To Take Heed.


The fall of Nepal’s government this month was not the sudden consequence of youthful anger alone. It was the inevitable result of years of corruption funded and facilitated by US tax dollars, laundered through USAID, and carried out by its chosen consultants like Deloitte and its NGO partners such as the Soros-backed Niti Foundation. What was marketed to the Nepali people as democratic strengthening was in reality a hollow project of manipulation, siphoning money into the hands of politically connected elites while corroding every institution it claimed to support. The irony is inescapable. The very programs meant to build democracy hastened its collapse.

President Donald Trump put it bluntly when he called the USAID deals “completely corrupt and a fraud.” His instincts were correct. USAID promised tens of millions to implement federalism and biodiversity projects, yet much of this aid was hidden from oversight and funneled through channels designed to avoid accountability. Deloitte and Niti Foundation embedded themselves in the machinery of government, not to strengthen transparency but to bend it toward their own designs. Instead of robust institutions, Nepal received shadow agreements, compromised officials, and a rising tide of cynicism. When the money dried up, and when CIA-linked influence waned, the hollow edifice collapsed. The result was the youth-driven “Nepo Kids” uprising.

The immediate spark came from social media. Videos on TikTok and posts on 𝕏 exposed the lavish lifestyles of Nepal’s political elite, particularly their children. These “Nepo Kids” flaunted luxury cars and foreign vacations in a country where per capita income is barely $1,400. The contrast was explosive. Ordinary Nepalis, already aware of corruption, now saw it mocked before their eyes in real time. Hashtags amplified their outrage. For a generation raised on smartphones, this became not only political evidence but also a call to arms.Subscribe

The government responded with the arrogance of authoritarians. In a move that reeked of desperation, it ordered social media platforms to register under new censorship rules and, when they refused, it shut them down entirely. Facebook, 𝕏, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, even LinkedIn went dark. Rather than suppress anger, the blackout ignited it. Students poured into the streets. The so-called “Gen Z protests” quickly transformed from rallies against censorship into an all-out uprising against an entire political order. Once police violence escalated, the protests turned into revolution.

Yet to understand why the protests had such force, one must look deeper at the corruption exposed months earlier. Investigative reporting revealed that USAID had secretly funneled $33 million into federalism projects through irregular agreements signed by the Finance Ministry without constitutional approval. USAID’s chosen partner was the Niti Foundation, an NGO seeded with money from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Niti operatives, presented as “consultants,” were embedded in government offices, quietly shaping policy with foreign influence. Officials who should have resisted these intrusions were compromised by conflicts of interest, as in the case of Balananda Poudel, who both chaired a constitutional commission and had ties to Niti.

When whistleblowers revealed these entanglements, the government tried to deny everything. The Ministry of Finance claimed no USAID money had gone to federalism. That lie was exposed by its own officials, who showed that hundreds of municipalities had already received US-funded support. Documents surfaced proving the secret agreements, the involvement of Deloitte as contractor, and the bypassing of Nepal’s constitutional bodies. The scandal was devastating. To young Nepalis, it confirmed what the “Nepo Kids” images dramatized: their leaders were liars who treated the nation as spoils for themselves and their foreign patrons.

The ruling coalition led by Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli presented itself as Marxist-Leninist, committed to equality. In practice, it was a corrupt patronage machine. This is why the uprising was not merely a flash in the pan. It was the reaction of a generation that had been told socialism would bring justice, only to watch foreign aid turn into a vehicle for nepotism. The “people’s government” became the face of hypocrisy, living in palaces, silencing dissent, and taking secret checks from abroad.

The violence of September 2025 was the climax. Protesters torched parliament, stormed party headquarters, and burned the homes of senior officials. Police gunfire killed nearly 20 demonstrators. The army imposed curfews, but the state had already lost legitimacy. Oli resigned. His ministers fled. The old order fell apart in smoke and flames.

The truth is that this outcome was set in motion long before. When USAID, Deloitte, and Niti Foundation decided that bypassing democratic oversight was acceptable, they planted the seeds of collapse. When US tax dollars were diverted to corrupt officials under the guise of “federalism,” they undermined the very democracy they claimed to promote. And when Soros-linked NGOs embedded themselves inside Nepal’s institutions, they guaranteed that Nepal’s people would one day rise against both their own leaders and the foreign patrons who enabled them.

This is the great irony. USAID and its allies claimed to be building democracy. Instead, they built resentment. They claimed to empower institutions. Instead, they hollowed them out. They claimed to promote transparency. Instead, they trafficked in secrecy. And when the reckoning came, it was not just the communist regime that fell. It was the credibility of the entire development model pushed by Washington and Brussels for decades.

In the digital age, the people do not need permission to see corruption. They only need a smartphone and the courage to share what they see. The Nepo Kids campaign was not orchestrated by a think tank or funded by a donor. It was organic outrage. The more the state tried to censor it, the more it spread. When US aid was revealed to be part of the rot, the protests gained moral clarity. This was not simply about ending censorship or bringing down one government. It was about rejecting a system where elites and foreign agents treat an entire country as their playground.

Critics may ask, is this not simply another chaotic uprising in a troubled country? No. What made this revolt unique was the convergence of corruption, censorship, and foreign interference, all exposed simultaneously. Without the USAID scandal, the Nepo Kids campaign might have been a passing viral story. Without the censorship, protests might have remained online. But with all three aligned, the outcome was revolution.

The lesson for the US is sobering. When our aid is co-opted by globalist contractors and NGOs, it ceases to be help and becomes poison. When we lecture others about democracy while hiding the strings we pull, we destroy our credibility. And when we fund corruption abroad, we betray not only foreign citizens but also American taxpayers who never consented to bankroll foreign elites.

The lesson for Nepal is equally stark. Foreign-funded democracy projects do not guarantee liberty. They can erode sovereignty. Real reform comes not from secret deals but from the will of the people. In September 2025, that will was made manifest in the flames of parliament and in the resignation of a prime minister who thought censorship could save him.

The Nepo Kids revolution was a rejection of corruption, nepotism, and foreign manipulation disguised as aid. It was also a warning. Other nations facing similar entanglements should take heed. When democracy is hollowed out by those claiming to build it, the eventual backlash will not be polite. It will be revolutionary.

What Are We Fighting For In Europe?


As I read a recent flood of articles bemoaning the Trump administration’s stance toward the European Union and the elites that run it, I had an attack of déjà vu. I kept hearing the 1960s band Country Joe and the Fish singing in my memory. The words do apply today. As far as Europe is concerned, “What are we fighting for? Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn.”

True, this could be nothing more than a reverberation of a misspent youth. But the issues raised are real and need to be addressed. Why are we so deeply involved in the affairs and economies of Europe, all to our own detriment? Why so many troops stationed in Europe 80 years after the end of World War II and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union? Why do we tolerate their incessant hectoring and their dangerous and threatening authoritarian moves?

Since the beginning of the year, Europe as defined as the European Union (EU), has gone full tyranny. Any thought that the EU shared American values is a dangerous delusion. Just a quick check list shows that the leading candidate for President in Romania was removed from the ballot with virtually no justification other than his opposition to the “European experiment.” The populist party Alternative for Germany was boxed out of any say in government despite scoring a strong second place. In France, the leading candidate for President in the next election, Marie LePen was barred for some contrived charge. In Spain, the leading conservative-populist voice was charged with “hate speech” because he opposes the destruction of his country through mass illegal immigration.

But it isn’t just manipulation of the electoral process to deny true democratic expression. The EU has flexed its thuggish muscles in countless other ways as well. From expelling a 4-year-old from kindergarten for allegedly being “transphobic,” to Britain establishing a two-tiered criminal sentencing scheme that imposes harsher penalties on white men, to the refusal to admit that the so-called “climate crisis” is a lie that is crushing economies throughout the continent, Europe is gone. There was a reason many of our ancestors escaped it and now we can see that all the tendencies and arrogant abuse are part of the DNA of Europe, not of just a few individuals.

The most recent example, coming out of Germany, is a stark reminder of the ultimate expression of fascism, the very definition of it as stated by Benito Mussolini in a 1927 speech in the Italian Parliament when he said, “Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State” A German court has imposed a 7-month probation sentence on editor-in-chief of Deutschland Kurier, David Bendels, for publishing a parody of a German federal official. The Bamberg District Court found that a satirical photo montage about Federal Minister Nancy Faeser to be an instance of “defamation against political figures,” under Paragraph 188 of the German Criminal Code (StGB).

Faeser, echoing il Duce, famously is quoted as saying during her term of interior minister: “Those who mock the State must be dealt with by a strong State.” Can’t get any more clear than that.

It is time, way past time, to get out and leave Europe to rot.

The United States was only drawn into the European con-game by Woodrow Wilson who fell for the One World, Globalist vision a little over 100 years ago. It was a huge mistake. Then while there was overwhelming opposition to entering World War II — at least on the European front — conditions and raw propaganda brushed it aside. Was defeating the Nazis a good thing? Of course it was. But the aftermath has been horrible. Why did we rebuild Europe? Why do we continue to subsidize their defense and their entire economies? Why is it our job to keep the Middle East shipping lanes open when it is Europe who gets the goods that pass through them.

And why do we continue to suffer their condescending attacks. Whether it is the threats on U.S. tech companies using the phony scam of “disinformation” as the ruse or the demand that all companies throughout world adhere to the destructive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards that the EU is proposing as a pre-condition to doing business in the EU, the attacks are relentless.  This is the globalist — World Economic Forum — Atlantic Council agenda.  And it and they need to be removed as a clear threat to the United States by any means necessary. They are the enemies of American freedom, not allies.

A big part of the answer to these questions are also found from our hazy friends. Country Joe’s lyrics are as relevant today as they were in 1969. A couple of lines prove the point: “Come on, Wall Street, don’t be slow, why, man, this war’s a go-go. There’s plenty of good money to be made by supplying the army with the tools of trade.” Or: “Come on, Generals, let’s move fast.  Your big chance is here at last!”

Money. Advancement. Power. And all at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and Russians. The simple truth is that key elements of the establishment in the U.S. thrive as a result of us being chained to the EU. The benefit to the American people does not factor in. And while some make mountains of money from it, the real beneficiaries are the globalist ideologues who work day and night to destroy the United States as a free, sovereign and independent nation and impose their world government schemes. The entire exercise is aimed at nothing less than the elimination of any say by the people who pay the bills and bleed and die.

It is time. Remove all U.S. troops from Europe. Reduce or eliminate our support for and role in NATO. Any nation that refuses to remove trade barriers to American products and services should be hit with a fee or tariff double what is being imposed on Americans. When the crippled, bleeding sore that is the European Union moves to reform and open their systems to the will of the people of their nations including free speech, we should be glad to deal with them. But to continue to play the sucker to the EU has got to end. Freedom from this abusive and destructive relationship is, after all, worth fighting for.

Time To Dump Europe


Events over the past months have exposed a very stark divide between the globalist, collectivist, “woke” authorities of Europe and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) patriot movement here in the United States. To be frank, it is almost as if the snide, effete elitists who control the nations of the European continent want to rub our noses in their horror show. 

Let’s be frank.  Europe would be a total basket case without American taxpayers, American troops, and American subservience to their ever more bizarre “culture.” Since Woodrow Wilson first fell for the globalist-line that somehow “the better people” could build a world government free of popular input, the citizens of the United States have been played as fools. Churchill’s constant pushing and cajoling led to the so-called “special relationship” that has come to mean Uncle Sucker picks up the tab, does the dirty work and then allows others to make decisions.

And today, the outdated, “ticking time bomb without a mission” called NATO has become an anchor around the necks of the American people that can only draw us into a war that serves the territorial interests of European elites, not that of the United States.

All of this was made clear when a recent article by Giovanna De Maio and Célia Belin in the publication, Foreign Affairs, appeared entitled Europe’s America ProblemTo set the record straight, the magazine is owned and operated by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). CFR has been the leading voice for globalist ambitions since its founding in 1921. It is the voice of the very people the MAGA movement has identified as those working to destroy American sovereignty and submerge us into a swamp.

Europe as advanced by the globalists at CRF, NATO, the Atlantic Council and the European Union (EU) is unalterably opposed to the core principles of the United States.  Even a cursory review shows them to outright enemies of liberty.

  • The suppression of free speech is now rampant.  People in Britain are being jailed for prayer, at least Christian prayer. The government of Germany is moving to outlaw the second largest party in the country in order to eliminate competition, exactly as the Nazis and the Communists did in the not so distant past. 
  • The EU is claiming the right to prosecute citizens outside their nations — the United States or any other non-European country — if that individual publishes something the thought police in Brussels oppose. National laws and sovereignty mean nothing to them.
  • We are admonished that steps to defend and protect the U.S. economy will be regarded as hostile and that efforts at retaliation will be considered.
  • As evidence mounts that the so-called “climate crisis” is at best not true — and more likely will eventually be exposed as a total fraud — Europe is demanding that the United States continue to surrender all its advantages to “international cooperation.” What this means is that the United States refrains from developing the massive energy resources that would give our manufacturing and development a clear advantage so that energy-starved Europe can “compete.” The Foreign Affairs article is blunt — “Europe will need to define its collective interests in the transatlantic partnership, deciding what it wants to protect and what it expects from the United States.” [emphasis added]

“What it expects” from the United States? To paraphrase one of their prominent green-freaks, “How dare they?”

  • Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars we do not have to defend the borders of Ukraine when we should be defending our own borders? Why? Because Europe couldn’t last a week in combat and demand that we continue to defend them like we have for nearly 80 years. Why should we be afraid of Russia? 

From the end of World War II the entire game for the Europeans has been to soak America. Get us to pay for their defense. Get us to subsidize their economies. Get us to incur the wrath of newly formed nations of Africa, Asia and the Middle East — have them direct their righteous rage at us instead of the Imperial masters who continue to this day to loot the former colonies.

The entire model was stated clearly by the first Secretary-General of NATO in 1952 when Lord Hastings “Pug” Ismay (1887-1965), outlined the entity’s strategic objectives with his famous tripartite formula: “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” No better description of British foreign policy has ever been written for the past 100 years.

A cold-eyed review shows that Europe has near-zero natural resources that America needs. On the other hand, Latin America and Africa are rich in them, they just need to be developed. China has proven to be a less than reliable partner for these nations. We should make the advance.

Europe supplies next to nothing in a military sense. Yes, we have great bases in Italy and Germany. But we only need them to defend Europe. If we could walk away from billions in weapons and a state-of-the-art air base in Afghanistan, why not do it in Europe? Just hand those bases over and let the Europeans fight over them.                      

Politically, who really cares if we get “their votes” at the United Nations or any of the other globalist’ strait jackets. Better to tell those entities to fend for themselves, make our annual blackmail payments contingent on not making us angry, and at the first appropriate moment walk away entirely.

On the “net zero” suicide pact, they need to be told to forget it. The U.S. is going to drill and refine all we can as nuclear plants are built. What they do is up to them but finding sources of energy should be their top priority. Winters can get very cold in much of Europe.

Finally, the perverse culture that has infected us from Europe needs to be returned to sender. The “critical theory” treason of Michel Foucault and his cohorts in academia need to be excised like a tumor. We need nothing of their totalitarian poison. The dedication to family and community so valued in Africa and Latin America are far more vital to the U.S. than anything from the smut-dens of Berlin or Paris.

It is time for renewal in America, a restoration of our values and principles of self-reliance and independence. All we can get from Europe is a drain on our resources and resolve. The rest of the world wants our leadership — not through force of arms as latter-day colonial powers but from a commitment to enduring principles of liberty, a liberty not found anywhere in Europe today. It is time to move on and dump Europe. They are leeches sucking America dry. Time to cut them off.
