In a shocking revelation, USAID-funded Ukrainian groups have been exposed for using American taxpayer dollars to defame U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, members of Congress, and journalists as "foreign propagandists" aligned with Russia. This corrupt operation, which includes training Ukrainians in psychological warfare (PSYOP) tactics, raises serious questions about the U.S. government's role in meddling in its own politics and silencing dissent. • USAID-funded Ukrainian group Molfar labeled Vice President J.D. Vance, Rep. Thomas Massie, and Counter terrorism Director Joe Kent as "foreign propagandists" and demanded their removal from public office. • Molfar, with direct U.S. government support, trained thousands of Ukrainian public workers in smear tactics, cyber warfare, and PSYOP techniques. • Other U.S.-funded groups, including VoxUkraine and Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, collaborated to create blacklists targeting American journalists and politicians critical of U.S. involvement in Ukraine. • Molfar’s activities extended beyond smearing Americans, as it provided intelligence used to target Russian soldiers, resulting in devastating human costs.

The Deep State’s shadow war on American dissent

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), long criticized for its wasteful and opaque foreign expenditures, has now been implicated in one of the most scandalous operations in recent memory. Documents reveal that USAID funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to Ukrainian groups like Molfar, VoxUkraine, and the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), which systematically targeted American political leaders and journalists who dared to question U.S. involvement in Ukraine. Vice President J.D. Vance, a vocal critic of endless foreign wars and Ukraine’s NATO aspirations, was branded a “foreign propagandist of the Russian Federation” by Molfar. The group’s website condemned Vance for stating that Ukraine should not join NATO, arguing it would “invite the American nation to go to war.” Molfar also attacked Vance for comparing Ukrainian democracy to Afghanistan and opposing continued U.S. funding of the conflict. But Vance was not alone. Rep. Thomas Massie and Counter terrorism Director Joe Kent were similarly smeared, with Molfar demanding their “removal from public positions, the introduction of sanctions, and investigations into personal involvement in crimes.” The group’s blacklist, which remains active to this day, accuses these Americans of posing a “threat to the national security of countries that do not support the terrorist policy of the Russian Federation.”

U.S.-funded psyops and the weaponization of information

Molfar, whose name translates to “sorcerer” or “wizard,” describes itself as an open-source intelligence agency dedicated to “collecting lists of Ukrainian enemies to bring war criminals to justice.” However, its activities go far beyond intelligence gathering. A 2022 report bearing USAID’s logo revealed that Molfar, with the support of the U.S. Civil Research and Development Fund (CRDF) and the U.S. Department of State, trained over 2,000 Ukrainian public workers in “open-source searches, contact search, using Telegram bots, PSYOP and their use as a method of information warfare, image analysis, and human intelligence (HUMINT) or social engineering.” In total, USAID allocated $60 million to “strengthen Ukraine’s cybersecurity,” a euphemism for funding groups that weaponize information against American citizens. Molfar’s tactics included doxxing journalists like Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone, publishing his home address, family details, and even the addresses of his co-workers. This reckless endangerment of American lives was carried out under the guise of combating “Russian propaganda.”

The web of censorship and blacklists

Molfar was not the only U.S.-funded group targeting Americans. VoxUkraine, a Ukrainian think tank and self-styled “fact-checker,” received millions from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID. In 2024, VoxUkraine partnered with the CCD to compile a blacklist of 26 Western “experts,” including journalists Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, and academics like Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer, accusing them of promoting “Russian narratives.” The CCD, an official appendage of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, also smeared now-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as being “on the Kremlin’s payroll.” Despite later deleting the post and blaming an “unspecified employee,” the damage was done. These groups, funded by American taxpayers, have systematically worked to silence dissent and criminalize anti-war voices.

The human cost of taxpayer-backed information warfare

While Molfar gained notoriety in the West for smearing American leaders, it earned a different reputation in Ukraine for its role in targeting Russian soldiers. The group’s CEO, Artem Starosiek, boasted that Molfar’s intelligence led to HIMARS strikes on Russian positions, including a devastating attack in Rubizhnoye. However, the human cost of these operations is staggering. Elderly survivors in Rubizhnoye described the horror of losing everything to U.S.-supplied missiles, with one woman condemning the “fascists” who carried out the strikes and the Americans who enabled them. The revelation that U.S. taxpayer dollars funded Ukrainian groups to smear American leaders and journalists as “Russian propagandists” is a damning indictment of the Deep State’s corruption. This shadowy alliance between USAID, Ukrainian intelligence, and neo-Nazi-linked groups like Molfar represents a betrayal of American values and a dangerous escalation in the weaponization of information. As Vice President J.D. Vance and other targeted officials now hold key positions in the Trump administration, the question remains: will they dismantle this corrupt information warfare apparatus, or will the Deep State’s tentacles continue to strangle dissent?
