Award–winning former Declassified UK journalist Matt Kennard has called for a public inquiry into the US government’s funding of the ‘BBC Media Action’ charity. This comes as Donald Trump’s second administration has taken aim at the controversial USAID (which Kennard says is often just “a CIA front”). BBC Media Action says the cut to USAID has “affected” its operations, as the organisation’s support “amounts to about 8% of our income in 2023-24”.

    It is factually a proxy war dude. We couped Ukraine in 2014. USAID funds their anti-Russian media. Their version of the CIA (FSB) was started by our CIA and we get them to commit acts of terrorism on Russia approx every few weeks.
