On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST), all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, except for a select group managing mission-critical functions, core leadership, and specially designated programs. This abrupt operational halt, announced just one day earlier, signals a dramatic shift in the agency’s trajectory, raising urgent questions about its past operations, funding allocations, and accountability. The move follows increasing scrutiny of USAID’s financial ties and CIA-style influence campaigns, particularly its funding of BBC Media Action, a development arm accused of engaging in censorship under the guise of combating misinformation. In an era where information warfare has become the front line of controlling public narratives, the collusion between government agencies, mainstream media, and shadowy think tanks has never been more evident. Recent revelations suggest that USAID—the United States Agency for International Development—has funneled funds to the BBC, which in turn, through its development arm BBC Media Action, has engaged in activities that go beyond public service broadcasting. Instead, they have aligned with efforts to silence independent health platforms like GreenMedInfo (GMI) under the guise of combating “misinformation.”
