Let’s focus on key issues. How in the world did USAID fund gain of function research in China? At Wihan? Through USAID? The Obama administration in 2014 banned gain of function research, with good reason. So USAID outsources this research to China? How did the public not know this? Little wonder the CIA is now saying that the source of Covid was very likely from a lab in China.

I don’t agree with the slash and burn employment practices of the Trump administration. Why though did these kind of programs exist in secret? You can bet Fauci knew of this significant grant. This is the problem with fascism meme thrown at Trump. He is making these kind of thing publicly known. Fascists work in secret. People outside of the Beltway area don’t want their money spent this way and like it or not Trump will be supported on these kinds of actions.



USAID did NOT fund gain of function research in China.


Oh yes they did. I just listened to a detailed explanation of the not for profit cut-out which was used. Dont bury your head in the sand. Are you that emotional and bound up wih Trump hatred?. You want to know is another problem here? My friend is a grant administrator for the NIH. Excellent, qualified - Phd in Stem and a JD. This is why I don't like wholesale jabs at Government employees. This guy is good and doing a great public service. How could USAID attract an administrator with the appropriate scientific credentials? The Hill article below states the funding was inadvertent. Which supports my point - a qualified science administrator could easily have spotted the problem. This is dangerous stuff - just ask the Obama administration.

This is the first major fraud I think has been uncovered from scrutiny of USAID.

- USAID has funneled $472.6 million through Internews Network (IN).

- IN has worked with 4,291 media outlets, producing 4,799 hours of broadcasts.

- Reached up to 778 million people.

- Trained over 9,000 journalists.

- Supported social media censorship initiatives.

- Offices in over 30 countries, main hubs in US, London, Paris, Kiev, Bangkok, Nairobi.

- Led by Jeanne Bourgault, with a salary of $451k/year.

- Board co-chaired by Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, Democratic donors.

- Launched a $10M fund at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2023.

- Operates at least 6 subsidiaries, one in the Cayman Islands.

- Over 95% of IN's budget since 2008 from the US government.

- Main billing location is an abandoned building in California

- Obvious money-grab and probably doing spook bidding for a long time.

And some of may argue that it is the Democrats who were actually the fascists. Especially after what we went through with Covid.

I’m inside the beltway and ai support what Trump is doing.

So you are saying that while trump was president, Trump directed this to happen? Or that Trump is such a bad leader that he had no idea what his government was doing? Neither is a good look.

Why did trump fire the Health office in Wuhan right before the CoVID break out?

What is the fraud? USAID is specifically funded by Congress to promote free and independent media in other countries. It's part of its mission to show the rest of the world American values like freedom of the press and free speech.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean?

When TB treatment is interrupted, patients are far more likely to develop drug-resistant TB, which is a catastrophe both individually (the disease becomes harder to cure) and societally (we're allowing the bacteria millions of new opportunities to develop further resistance). Many people will die.

RFK is involved.


TB meds have biohazard labels, none of these do.
IF that’s a warehouse in Congo (that’s where Kinshasa is) what’s preventing people there from distributing them?

100% not true.


Where do you think the money to distribute Foreign aid comes from?


As of February 2025, not the USA. No effs to give beyond that.

I asked this a little earlier. I think they're throwing around the word "fraud" without actually knowing what it means.
