WHOA: Rwanda’s President Shocks CNN Reporter With a Surprising Take on President Trump’s Dismantling of USAID (VIDEO)

by Cullen Linebarger Feb. 8, 2025

The leader of one of the world’s poorest countries proved this week that he has more common sense than most Democrats or corporate media journalists in America when it comes to USAID.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, USAID has been in the crosshairs for the past week, given the billions of dollars of waste exposed by DOGE. Some of the examples exposed have been absolutely stunning.

In one instance, the agency funneled $5 billion in 2014 to ignite riots in Ukraine, according to RFK Jr.

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame sat down with CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo for an interview to discuss various topics affecting the African country. This included President Trump’s efforts to eliminate the corrupt USAID money pit.

Despite the fact that eliminating USAID would mean less money for Rwanda, Kagame surprisingly praised Trump and noted that they had common ground on several issues.

“President Trump has unconventional ways of doing things… I completely agree with him on many things,” Kagame explained.

The CNN reporter did not expect this response and tried to ‘educate’ him on Rwanda’s dependence on America.

“Even though it will hurt you, as Rwanda depends on some U.S. aid to fund your healthcare and development?” a stunned Madowo replied.

“I think from being hurt, we might learn some lessons,” Kagame replied.

Kagame rightly believes his nation will be better off if it exhibits self-reliance rather than bending to the whims of woke, globalist Western bureaucrats.

How refreshing.

Apple Ordered To Provide UK Gov't Access To All User Data On The Cloud

Authored by Ken Silva via Headline USA Saturday, Feb 08, 2025

The Washington Post reported Friday that the United Kingdom’s deep state has demanded that Apple create a back door for them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud—what would be an unprecedented erosion of online privacy and civil liberties.

Citing anonymous sources, the Post reported that the British government’s undisclosed order was issued last month. It reportedly requires Apple to give officials blanket capability to view fully encrypted material.

Typically, Apple has assisted authorities on a case-by-case basis—such as helping the FBI access a terrorist’s phone, for example. The Post noted that the access sought by the UK “has no known precedent in major democracies.”

According to the Post, the UK’s order was made pursuant to the sweeping U.K. Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, which authorizes law enforcement to compel assistance from companies to access user data.

“The law, known by critics as the Snoopers’ Charter, makes it a criminal offense to reveal that the government has even made such a demand,” the Post reported.

“Apple can appeal the U.K. capability notice to a secret technical panel, which would consider arguments about the expense of the requirement, and to a judge who would weigh whether the request was in proportion to the government’s needs. But the law does not permit Apple to delay complying during an appeal.”

An Apple spokesman reportedly declined to comment. The Post reported that Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK.

“Yet that concession would not fulfill the U.K. demand for backdoor access to the service in other countries, including the United States,” the newspaper added.

Western countries, including the U.S., have been pushing for total access to online user data for years.

In March 2021, for example, former FBI Director Chris Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee that encryption was stifling his agents from investigating domestic extremism.

According to Wray and other law enforcers, tech companies should be able to build “backdoors” into their encryption that preserves privacy, while allowing for access when necessary. That, they say, strikes the proper balance between data security and national security.

However, numerous tech experts, civil libertarians, and others say that it’s impossible to build a backdoor that can’t be exploited by hackers. They also say that by banning encryption, the United States would be following in the footsteps of authoritarian countries such as China, which blocked the encrypted messaging app Signal.

“It is important to understand that any kind of back door (or front door) access for the ‘good guys’ can also be exploited by the ’bad guys,’” the pro-industry Information Technology & Innovation Foundation stated in a July 2020 report.

“For example, key escrow systems would introduce new attack vectors that could allow attackers to gain access to encrypted information, such as by compromising the system that maintains copies of the keys.”
