USAID absolutely is an element of the "deep state" in the countries in which it operates.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZunZuneo

Even if without cover CIA involvement, they operates parallel social services that don't answer to a foreign government to advance a foreign governments priorities.

Every Pakistani I talked to (living in Pakistan) has a negative view USAID and foreign NGOs. Why do you think that would be?
