Employees from the Institute of Peace attempted to block government employees from entry when they arrived to shut it down. Below is a video of their efforts.
In early May 2025, we learned from a FOX interview with Elon Musk and Big Balls that the Institute of Peace had nothing to do with peace. DOGE went into the office that housed the institute and found government waste, loaded weapons, and employees that tried to destroy data before they entered.
HOLY CRAP
The ‘Institute of Peace’ was funding the TALIBAN.
But wait.. there’s more.
When DOGE entered to dig through their fileS, their accountant DELETED 1 Terabyte of records.

This newly released body cam footage from the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace shows the insane resistance the Trump team faced from day one.
As Edward Coristine (aka Big Balls) told Jesse Watters last year, this was the “least peaceful” of all the agencies to deal with, and that it used taxpayer funds for private jets, an armory filled with weapons, and contracts with the former members of the Taliban (!!)
These are grown adults in full meltdown mode because they realized the gravy train was coming to an end. They referred to lawful orders as “jackbooted police state actions” while refusing to vacate the premises after President Trump issued an order firing them and sending in his DOGE team to clean house.
What you see in this video isn’t democracy, it’s an insight into how wild and entitled the DC swamp had grown.
Even the officers who were on the scene to ensure order became impatient after realizing these defiant bureaucrats weren’t even USIP employees when one said, “we’re their lawyers” who were trying to regain access to “classified information” pertaining to “other cases” outside of USIP’s purview.
George Foote, one of the lawyers there, even pushed to have Trump officials arrested as “unauthorized intruders.”
Elon Musk later revealed on X that USIP’s chief accountant attempted to wipe over a terabyte of financial data in a desperate cover-up – but DOGE recovered it, and it’s now with the DOJ for review.
Unelected ideologues fleecing taxpayer dollars shouldn’t block the people’s choice. This is what draining the swamp looks like, and it’s horrifying just how out of control it had all become.
