USAID Ends, Rap Falls Off the Charts: Was the Culture Being Engineered? A Billboard report says rap music has now disappeared from the charts for the first time in 35 years. It raises serious questions: if USAID helped prop up rap music all along? Now that funding is gone, the culture operation is collapsing along with it. If that’s true, then this isn’t just about music. It’s about whether rap, degeneracy, and culture-shaping narratives were being astroturfed to engineer public taste and social behavior. CIA’s Operation Mockingbird is infamous for infiltrating media institutions to shape culture, push preferred narratives, normalize war crimes, and manufacture consent for expanding government control. The timing looks too perfect to ignore. @alexstein99 joins me to break it down.
