Politico—the radical liberal news rag notorious for smearing President Donald Trump, lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, and pushing government-backed disinformation—has been exposed as a mouthpiece of the Deep State. And who’s funding this so-called “independent” media outlet? The very institutions that benefit from its propaganda: the U.S. government’s clandestine operations, particularly the CIA-linked USAID.

Yes, you read that right. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—an entity often used as a front for covert operations—has funneled money directly into Politico. But it’s not just $8 million, as some reports suggest. Politico has received a staggering $34.3 million from various federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Education, and even the Department of Agriculture.

Even more damning, some of the most politically compromised agencies, such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC, have funneled taxpayer dollars into Politico’s coffers. No wonder their reporting consistently aligns with the Swamp’s narrative.

Politico’s Payoff Timeline: Coincidence? Not a Chance.

Notice the timing: Politico began receiving massive federal funding in 2015—the very year Donald Trump announced his candidacy. Then, under Biden, the payoffs skyrocketed.

This isn’t journalism. This is a taxpayer-funded disinformation campaign. Politico played a central role in the CIA-backed lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.” This blatant election interference altered the course of the 2020 presidential race.

And who led this disinformation effort at Politico? Natasha Bertrand—the same so-called journalist who pushed the pre-election CIA lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinfo. She, along with outlets like CNN and Politico, was instrumental in spreading what has now been exposed as one of the most egregious official U.S. disinformation campaigns in modern history.

The Fallout Begins: Politico Misses Payroll

Now, the consequences are immediate. DOGE has announced an end to all taxpayer funding of Politico and other Deep State-backed media outlets. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the administration has confirmed that federal payments to Politico through USAID have been halted.

And look what happened next: Politico just missed payroll. The company scrambled to assure employees it was a “technical glitch.” Do you believe them? After years of secretly pocketing government payoffs, it’s clear their financial stability depended on Swamp money.

The Global Reach of USAID’s Media Manipulation

Politico is just one piece of a larger puzzle. USAID has a long history of funding left-wing media worldwide to serve U.S. intelligence interests. Even Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán exposed the scheme, stating:

“USAID financed ultra-progressive Politico in Brussels and basically the entire left-wing media in Hungary under the previous U.S. administration. And they called me ‘Disruptor of the Year’… The world owes a debt of gratitude to President Donald Trump for uncovering and putting an end to this dark conspiracy.”

And it doesn’t stop there. BBC is another major recipient of USAID funds, pushing narratives that align with the globalist agenda.

USAID has long served as a front for CIA operations, particularly in destabilizing nations under the guise of “development aid.” Look no further than Ukraine—where USAID played a pivotal role in influencing political outcomes.

USAID’s Role in the Marcos Regime

Even during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, USAID was active—providing economic aid, agricultural programs, infrastructure funding, and health initiatives that indirectly helped prop up the regime. While these projects were framed as “development,” they were deeply intertwined with U.S. geopolitical interests.

For example, USAID helped fund the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP)—an effort seen by some as a way to control labor movements in favor of Marcos. There’s also evidence that USAID-backed agrarian reform programs were designed in coordination with the CIA to serve counterinsurgency efforts, ultimately helping Marcos maintain power.

USAID has always blurred the line between foreign aid and political manipulation, operating both overtly and covertly to serve U.S. intelligence objectives.

No More Cover-Ups

The truth is out. Politico is nothing more than a state-funded propaganda machine, and its downfall is long overdue.No journalist involved in its government-funded disinformation campaign should ever be trusted again.

Now that the payoffs have been exposed, who else in the mainstream media is taking Swamp money? Expect more revelations to come.POLITICO’s USAID FUNDING STOPPED: Exposed A Deep State Propaganda Machine?
