Hats off to President Trump!

I don’t agree with all the policies adopted by US President Donald Trump, however, I wish to extend thanks to President Trump for his decision to suspend grants under the USAID.

Decades ago, we received a report about USAID (US Agency for International Development) on its involvement in converting Hindu and Buddhist followers to the Christian religion. The USAID had refuted the report. Today, US officials are saying that the USAID spent around 100 million US dollars to promote atheism in Nepal (according to the US Speaker).

After President Trump’s executive order suspending the USAID and all the grant projects under the USAID have been suspended.

Now, we must believe that the US aid agency was not only involved in promoting atheism but also involved in the conversion of religion and supporting the Christian missionaries in Nepal. We must be assured now that how the USAID, including some European countries and also the Christian community in the South Block and RAW in India, imposed federalism, secularism and republicanism in Nepal!

The USAID, Open Society, and other American INGOs are functioning under the American Deep State project. Nepal’s Finance Ministry spokesman confirmed that the USAID is spending its funds in Nepal under three categories – On Budget, On Treasurary Grants; On Budget, Off Treasurary Grants and Off Budgetary, Off Treasury Grants. Only aid received through On Budget On Treasury Grants is included in the budget and spent by the Nepal government. Out of the total grants received from the USAID, this is just 10% and 90% of the budget allotted for Nepal is spent directly by the USAID officials, not for the development of Nepal but destroying our society either by fueling the issue of castes and classes in the name of ethnicity or gender or human rights, among others. The ultimate goal of the American deep state is to push Nepal towards a civil war and keep a stronghold on Nepal so that it can monitor and act against India and China from here. Around two dozen media, mostly Online portals, media related organizations, human rights organizations, LGTBQI, Christian missionaries, among others, are directly funded by the Open Society and other American INGOs. According to the NGO officials, around 20 INGOs, 300 local NGOs dozens of media organizations have been directly affected by the suspension of the USAID project for 60 days. Presently, the suspension of the USAID is for 60 days. After a review, the Trump Administration is said to consider the grants, or say, resume grants.  We wish the Trump administration would permanently stop such off-budgetary, off-treasury grants for Nepal.

Perhaps, a limited group of people who are enjoying the US grants, are going to suffer from Trump’s decision, nevertheless, they should try to become self-reliant and try to work in the nation's interests rather than serving foreigners’ interests.

President Trump is on a mission to Make America Great Again (MAGA). This is a challenging task for him, nevertheless, Trump has proved that the present open market economy, or say, economic liberalization has already failed. Nations should protect their national industries and production from the free market economy. The present tariff war is an example of the failure of the free market economy. The other message from Trump is to become self-reliant and become self-dependent. Don’t rely on foreign grants always. Our political leaders should take a lesson from Trump’s MAGA.

Once again, we wish to thank President Trump for his efforts in making America great again by suspending American support for destroying other nations either through a direct war or by supporting anti-national elements in underdeveloped and developing nations.
