The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe madmen are in power.\u201d\u2014 Philip K. Dick,\u00a0The Man in the High Castle<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0debate over U.S. foreign aid<\/a>\u00a0is a distraction.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still\u00a0spends more on foreign aid<\/a>\u00a0than any other nation.<\/p>\n

The latest foreign aid spending bill includes\u00a0$95 billion<\/a>\u00a0for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Since World War II, the U.S. has given more foreign aid to Israel than any other country\u00a0($318 billion<\/a>), with the bulk of those funds designated for Israel\u2019s military efforts.<\/p>\n

Even so, more than\u00a0150 countries around the world receive U.S. taxpayer-funded assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0reports, \u201cU.S. foreign aid dwarfs the federal funds spent by 48 out of 50 state governments annually.<\/a>\u00a0Only the state governments of California and New York spent more federal funds than what the U.S. sent abroad each year to foreign countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether or not that some of that foreign aid is used for legitimate purposes, the global welfare system itself is riddled with corruption and waste. As Adam Andrzejewski rightly asks, \u201cDo taxpayers instinctively know that they are funding\u00a0choir directors<\/a>\u00a0in Turkmenistan,\u00a0filmmakers<\/a>\u00a0in Peru, aid for\u00a0poultry farmers<\/a>\u00a0Tanzania, and sex education\u00a0workshops<\/a>\u00a0for prostitutes in Ethiopia?\u201d<\/p>\n

The problem is not so much that taxpayers are unaware of how their hard-earned dollars are being spent. Rather, \u201cwe the people\u201d continue to be told that we have no say in the matter.<\/p>\n
