U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

DOGE’s attempt to bulldoze its way into classified systems is part of a broader agenda to dismantle US foreign aid and soft power.

Now it's the "Lutheran" faith (this use of "religion" as a money laundering operation must end):
Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive massive amounts of taxpayer dollars, and the numbers speak for themselves.
These funds, total BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars.
Here are just a few of the recent grants awarded (pre @RobertKennedyJr ) by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):
LUTHERAN IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE SERVICE INC: $367,612,906
LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES OF THE SOUTH, INC: $134,190,472.95
LUTHERAN SERVICES FLORIDA, INC.: $82,937,819.95
There are MANY more organizations cashing in on our hard-earned money. These entities are receiving huge sums, which raise serious questions about how taxpayer funds are being spent and who's benefiting.
It's time to hold these organizations accountable. American taxpayers deserve transparency. Enough is enough!
And there is much more where these screen shots below came from.

Elon Musk and DOGE are now publicly targeting Lutheran groups for cuts.

Among those listed: Global Refuge (formerly LIRS), one of 6 faith-based groups that have long helped the govt resettle refugees.

Not clear why Musk contends this funding, which is longstanding and well known, is "illegal."

From the reports I've read, the USAID people were following the law, preventing DOGE from viewing classified material they didn't have clearance to see.

Musk calling this criminal" means that Musk thinks the law is what he says it is.

Have fought United multiple times, and have won each time (so much time and effort). This year, after a reversal of what we were quoted for the birth of my child, they backed down after we took it all the way to the state AG and the BBB. "Oops just kidding you were right". Again. Maddening.
