[DailyWire] The African Development Foundation’s employees have been sounding the alarm for years about self-dealing, cruelty, and anti-white discrimination. Money sent to Africa was then wired to the personal bank accounts of babus bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. An official promoted his for-profit, multi-level marketing scheme to poor Africans. Law enforcement identified possible criminal kickbacks. And those who now lament DOGE’s shuttering of the agency did nothing to fix it when they had a chance.
"It was so hard to see ADF being used as a beacon of hope and resistance against DOGE because I knew they were actually covering up horrible things...the doors were being kept locked for a reason," one former employee said. "The hero of the story is actually the villain."
By law, the agency is only allowed to give grants to Africa-based groups. But to keep more of that money for its own employees and officials’ friends, while concealing how much money actually went to overhead, it would require Africans to send money back to the United States at its direction, employees said.
Until shortly before DOGE gained access to the building with the assistance of U.S. Marshals, the agency was led by CEO Travis Adkins, who arrived in 2021 after a stint at USAID as a Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... political appointee. An assistant to Adkins said that after she asked why her paycheck was lower than agreed upon, Adkins informed her that the remainder would be coming from an overseas account.
He "sent me an email connecting me with this guy in Africa who asked for my banking information. Within a few days, this guy wired me $17,000," she told The Daily Wire on condition of anonymity. The Daily Wire reviewed bank paperwork showing the transfer from an account in Kenya.
Another longtime employee, she said, was eventually "put on the payroll of an African partner and was informed she was being paid through an entity in Mauritania. No payroll, state, or federal taxes were withheld from her paychecks."
"The contracts don’t make sense, and they know [DOGE] will find lots of wrongdoing and illegal activity," she said. "I’m not a fan of DOGE, but some of the things they’re doing need to be done. They have been operating like this for years, and no one did anything about it."

Where are the Criminal Indictments?
Where is the IRS? Since these illegal Taxpayer funded skims are UNREPORTED INCOME and no payroll, state, or federal taxes were withheld.
[JewishChronicle] Ben Cohen, the Jewish co-founder of ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s who is known for supporting progressive causes, has told controversial conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson that he “loves Jesus” and that Israel is committing “genocide”.
Cohen, 73, whose parents were both Jewish, attracted media attention four years ago when he co-authored an op ed in the New York Times backing the ice cream maker's decision to stop selling its products in the West Bank.
Speaking to Carlson – who has been accused of platforming Holocaust revisionism – Cohen also questioned Israel’s influence over US foreign policy.
“In terms of a spiritual belief, I mean, I don’t practise a religion,” Cohen said. “I was born a Jew. I love Jesus Christ. I think the words that he said are wonderful, are amazing. And, you know, I’m kind of distressed that a lot of organised Christian religions are not really, I don’t know, abiding by the words of Jesus Christ

Ben follows no religion but is concerned that Christians imperfectly follow Christ. If Tucker gives him more air time, I’m skipping that episode. Long form leftism is torturous.

Ben & Jerry’s has not been a Main Stream Voter, or Israel supporter since the early 2000's.
EG. "Ben & Jerry's decision was welcomed by Palestinian activists behind the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which calls for a complete boycott of Israel ...".
We have not purchased anything B&J since early 2000's. Like we do with any commercial firm that continues selling Politics over Customer Service and Product Quality. See, Food giant Unilever, B&J owners, supported political causes as an examples.
