The $1.2 billion deception: How USAID became a regime change slush fund

The Obama administration stands accused of weaponizing USAID funds to orchestrate foreign protest movements, destabilize governments, and manufacture dissent — all while deceiving American taxpayers and Congress. In a tell-all interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Mike Benz, founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, detailed how the Obama White House allegedly diverted $1.2 billion in foreign aid to finance covert regime change operations, training activists in social media warfare and street protest tactics. Benz, a former State Department official, revealed that USAID, under Obama, operated as a shadowy political weapon, laundering money through Cayman Islands bank accounts under the false pretense of Pakistani aid. "You're using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You're earmarking it for Pakistani aid. But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation," Benz stated. The funds allegedly bankrolled activist networks, teaching them how to manipulate social media, coordinate mass protests, and manufacture the illusion of grassroots uprisings. "We sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it," Benz explained.

Zunzuneo: the Cuban twitter clone used to incite unrest

One of the most damning revelations was the creation of Zunzuneo, a Cuban Twitter clone designed to radicalize citizens and incite unrest. "They took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like and retweet button. But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans if you’re going to do this operation," Benz said. The platform initially distributed harmless content — sports, music, weather — to lure users, then flipped the script, deploying automated bots to push political messaging and fuel outrage. "Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this astroturfing... the whole point is, once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots,’" Benz declared. This is how the Democratic Party creates their following: they manufacture outrage and deploy bots across social media, manufacturing a crisis, and not letting it go to waste.

Echoes of the Arab Spring: Obama’s global destabilization playbook

These tactics mirror Arab Spring operations, where U.S.-backed digital manipulation helped topple governments. Benz’s claims suggest Obama’s USAID was not a humanitarian agency, but a regime change factory, using taxpayer dollars to destabilize sovereign nations. "This was a scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time," Benz asserted. The implications are staggering: Was the Obama administration running a global destabilization scheme under the guise of foreign aid? If true, this would mark one of the most egregious abuses of taxpayer funds in modern history — a shadow government operation masquerading as diplomacy. As Benz’s revelations go viral, one question lingers: How many more "Rent-a-Riots" has the U.S. government funded—and who will be held accountable?
