Americans tend to have an overly optimistic view of the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment protection of religious freedom. The average American truly believes the Constitution prohibits the Federal Government both from establishing a state church, and from meddling in the affairs of religious institutions. Americans generally have a hard time believing that their government would purposefully infiltrate and manipulate religions in pursuit of national security objectives.
Unfortunately, whether they want to believe it or not, Elon Musk’s DOGE endeavor has forced Americans to face a very unpleasant fact. American tax dollars have been routinely used for global social engineering projects intent on transforming entire societies, including their religious institutions. For Orthodox Christians, this is nothing new. The U.S. National Security State has already been at war with the Orthodox Church for decades.
Political scientist and former National Security Advisor of the United States Zbigniew Brzeziński, in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, wrote:

Notice when Brzeziński wrote that? He wrote it three years before Vladimir Putin became president of Russia. Bumbling drunk Boris Yeltsin was in office at the time, and Russia was practically lying prostrate on the world stage. The Orthodox Church herself was only just beginning to recover from decades of official atheism. Even under such conditions, however, Russia and the Russian Church were already seen as threats to be dealt with through disunity and isolation.
