EXPOSED: USAID funded ISIS, Boko Haram, other terror groups – Scott Perry

Eric Patrick

Congressman Scott Perry has accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of providing funding to terrorist groups such as Boko Haram.

Perry, a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim on Thursday during the first hearing of the Subcommittee on Government Efficiency.

In a video posted by an X user, identified as Alex Jones, #Realalexjones, on Friday, Perry focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.

The session, titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud.” He said, Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps.

That’s what it’s funding."

Perry further cited USAID’s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was “zero evidence” of the schools’ construction.

"If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.

"You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.

“USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related programme.

It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can’t get in to see them.

"But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can’t attend it, because it doesn’t exist. You paid for it.

“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”
