The X post that spawned the “Trump’s Gaza condom story is false” narrative apparently came from Jennifer Griffin of Fox. She did a search and found a condom grant going to Gaza province in Mozambique, and subsequently assumed MAGA confused this locale with the Gaza Strip. Other main stream media outlets subsequently referred to her reporting to deem this story to be false.

Griffin was called out shortly thereafter by several X accounts, who indeed found $45 million of State Dept funding to “SUPPORT SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (SRH) CARE CLOSE TO THE DISPLACED POPULATIONS” in the “Gaza strip”. Was this for condoms? Maybe. But the general spirit of the original report was surely directionally correct.

Griffin then deleted her X post, but the media continues to repeat her original thesis as a basis for contradicting the original Trump/DOGE assertion.

VERY Interesting indeed. This goes well with two more documented facts which I mentioned in another comment:

(1) There is NO public record on condoms funded by USAID since 2023.

(2) Trump's claim was that a PLAN to send such aid to Gaza was cancelled.

The "fact checkers" made such a big deal about not finding evidence from the past, I got the feeling they were instructed by their handlers to throw the public a red herring. Besides, we already know how USAID colluded with the UN to cover huge amounts of aid to the Taliban, which they at first denied.

So ----- your first link to "USA Spending" fits neatly into that blind spot. Watch this:

1-- They reveal that the vaguely defined $45M was awarded in Sept. 2024 to the UN Population Fund (UNPFA), which works to reduce world population through contraceptives (the cheapest and easiest being condoms).

2-- If you follow the link behind UNPFA, you see that the UN agency actually received $182M in 2024 - over half of which ($172M) came from, guess who.... USAID. So we know USAID was heavily investing in population reduction last year.

3-- If you scroll down on that same page to the top 5 recipient "countries", you run into a list of undefined codes. The no. 1 country is a mysterious "XGZ", which received $45M for population reduction.

4 -- I deciphered that from an obscure 42-page appendix to the US Treasury "Foreign Credit Reporting System", page 32. Guess who "XGZ" is. "Gaza Strip".

5-- Pause for reflection.

That tiny enclave of max. 2 million Palestinians (including women and children) received $45M from USAID, channeled via the UN Population Fund, which majors in contraceptives like condoms. The same tiny enclave that accuses the 'evil Zionists' of trying to decimate their population through ethnic cleansing, etc., accepts top ranking as a target for UN population reduction.

6-- Either that, or they want to stockpile dual-use contraceptives (having already proven in past years that condoms make great airborne booby-traps which float into Israel and cause physical, economic and emotional damage).

7 -- Among the top five recipients are also two other terrorist-controlled countries with pro-Hamas sympathies: Afghanistan ($44.6M), Yemen ($30.4M). In my earlier comment, I speculated on intermediary recipients of condoms that might collude with the UN to keep Hamas supplied with primitive airborne bombs. Here are the most likely suspects.

Anyway, thank you NJ Guy for providing that link. I hope FP will follow the bread crumbs for more revelations.

Wow! Excellent research and summary of what you’ve discovered. Thank you for following up. You have inspired me to dig in deeper!

It is a shame that the TFP doesn’t follow the breadcrumbs on this and instead reflexively dismisses statements by Trump/DOGE.

FYI - The Data Republican account on X is doing great work to expose the insanity of government spending.

Thank you....I figured as much. Our 1st Amendment is consumed by the Fact Checkers and the Gotcha Press.

Disturbing.

I had an online argument about the SSA numbers found [20 million old people of age 130+...or something like that]. He said that was a lie. I asked for links [just to annoy him]...he gave me a link to SSA.org, Snopes, and Wired. I laughed...as only an online conversation will allow.
