U.S., Soros-Funded Ukrainian HIV Charity Under Criminal Probe for Embezzlement (Feb 26, 2020)
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 2/26/2020

Posted on 04/19/2020 9:06:30 AM PDT by bitt

Ukrainian authorities have launched a criminal investigation into an HIV nonprofit that receives huge sums of money from the U.S. government as well as leftwing billionaire George Soros. The foreign probe exposes one of many outrageous collaborative efforts between Uncle Sam and the Hungarian philanthropist who funds a multitude of projects worldwide aimed at spreading a radical globalist agenda. Learn more about the financial and staffing nexus between Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) and the U.S. government in a Judicial Watch special report.

In this latest case, the U.S. and Soros-funded nonprofit helped another Ukrainian group embezzle international assistance, according to a Ukrainian news report that cites a member of parliament. The elected official requested that the country’s National Police launch an investigation, which was officially announced a few days ago. The probe partially targets a controversial civil rights activist named Vitaly Shabunin who operates a scandal-plagued group—also funded by Soros—called Anticorruption Action Center (AntAC). During the 2016 U.S. presidential election Ukrainian prosecutors tried investigating the group’s activities but were ordered to stand back by the Obama administration. At the time Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office was looking into AntAC while investigating whether $4.4 million in U.S. funds to fight corruption had been improperly diverted.

Now officials in the former Soviet republic allege that a Ukrainian HIV charity that gets boatloads of money from American taxpayers as well as Soros, helped AntAC embezzle a chunk of it. Formerly known as All-Ukrainian Network of PLWH, the nonprofit is now called 100% Life and its mission is to fight for the life of people living with HIV in Ukraine’s 25 regions. Thanks to the generous contributions of donors such as American taxpayers, the group annually provides services to nearly 200,000 patients throughout Ukraine. The Ukrainian lawmaker who prompted the investigation says the scheme involved “embezzlement of international technical assistance through the All-Ukrainian Network of PLWH (now 100% Life Charity Fund).” From 2015 to 2017, PLWH-controlled structures received around $142 million, the Ukrainian official revealed in the news report.

A generous portion of it came from American taxpayers, according to government records obtained by Judicial Watch. They show that, since 2012, the U.S. has doled out more than $25 million in grants to 100% Life. Most of the money has flowed through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), though one grant for $3.5 million came from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is not clear whether the criminal probe will have an impact on the U.S. government’s funding. The head of 100% Life’s board of directors, HIV-infected activist Dmytro Sherembey, is also named in the recently launched investigation. Last year he published a book about AIDS that promotes the legalization of sex work and illicit drug use without punishment.

‘’ ‘The head of 100% Life’s board of directors, HIV-infected activist Dmytro Sherembey’’’

Is he on Yovanovich’s ‘untouchables list’? Most of these ‘activists’ are. How much is wired back in kickbacks?

Saw a report that Dr Birx has her fingerprints all over years of aid dollars to Ukraine, to include the former ambassador Yavanovich. If I recall correctly, approx $30M to Yavanovich just sort of “vanished” shortly before Yavanovichs appeared to testify against President Trump before Schiff’s committee.

another perfect example of DS using US taxpayer’s money to fund our enemies.

Put George Soros & his multitude of NGO’s at the front of the receiving line.

Ukrainian Officials Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Foreign Aid During Obama Admin
December 6, 2019 | By Jim Hoft

In October Ukrainian Parliamentarian Andrey (Andriy) Derkach revealed in a press conference
that Joe Biden was paid $900,000 for lobbying efforts from Burisma Holdings in Ukraine.

Burisma employed Biden’s son Hunter at a salary estimated at $50,000 per month.

ITEM Much of the $5.3B in US Aid Ukraine reported as misused was given to the embassy’s favored NGO’s.

ITEM At the time of the foreign aid misuse, Democrat impeachment witness was Ukraine Amb Iovanovitch.

ITEM The embassy directed the police not to investigate the misuse of tax dollars.

ITEM Iovanivitch told Congress a “Do Not Prosecute” list did not exist.

Riddle me this....

Why are US taxpayers funding all of these Soros organizations? He appears to run the State Department when it comes to giving foreign aid and conveniently has multiple organizations everywhere.

Where is the oversight on these funds and how does funding to his organizations compare to other non-Soros entities? Are funds moved from one “organization” to another?

His fingerprints are all over the Ukraine embassy. I bet its the same elsewhere.

This is one of the weirdest Clinton Foundation donors.
She's a radical defender of same-sex marriage, but Hillary Clinton's CHAI health charity took up to $10 million
from a dirt-poor African church which says homosexuality should be equated with incest and bestiality

Hillary took money for The Clinton Foundation's Health Initiative from the Cameroon Baptist Convention whose official policy is that being gay 'contradicts God's purpose for human sexuality'. The devout Christian organization has in the past compared being gay to committing incest and human trafficking. Its leaders have also railed against US attempts to promote gay rights in Cameroon.

Despite this, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board gave between $1million and $10million between 2010 and this year, according to the latest list of donors from the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI).

The Rev Godwil Ncham, general secretary of the Cameroon Baptist Convention, kneels to receive flowers during a meeting at a church in the country. His church says of homosexuality that it 'contradicts God's purpose for sexuality'.

The disclosure will be awkward for Mrs Clinton who has publicly stated that she supports gay marriage. Some of her wealthy and influential celebrity supporters are gay including Ellen DeGeneres and Elton John, while many others Democrats are strong advocates for gay rights. And during her election campaign Mrs Clinton will be heavily relying on them to raise her estimated $1 billion war chest. The latest roster of donors for CHAI lists dozens of individuals and companies who have given up to $25million and over during the last five years. But the CBC do not appear as in line with the Clintons' views in the same way as the likes of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who are some of the biggest givers.

Although they are broadly in line with some other denominations in their teachings on sexuality, including among others the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, the CBC are certainly very much at odds with the founder of the Elton John AIDS Fund, which is also a donor. Clinton's campaign commercial featuring same-sex couples

The Cameroon Church's views on gay people are laid out in a letter from December 2013 signed by both the organization's president Joseph Chebonkeng and the general secretary Godwill Ncham. It reads: 'As a church we uphold the belief that marriage is celebrated between a man and a woman.

Time to send Soros back to Hungary where he came from. This old clown has cost the American taxpayer a fortune with his affiliations of socialist ideas.

It’s going to take years to find out the damage the US Foreign Aid During Obama Admin.
Wonder of they found any of the 6 billion that went missing?

you’re getting very warm

one thing you might want to be looking for is a “cut out” that directs money to another NGO, or Foundation (ie: Clinton Foundation, or Clinton Global Health Initiative) plus you’ve gotta figure in a “kick back” on every deal that is carved out for the congress critters that facilitate the enabling legislation.

iow, it’s a racket that’s paid by US tax paying citizens.

They're all in on it. Everyone in government including their friends, family and acquaintances are in on it.

The corruption in our government is staggering.

And this is one of the huge corruption scams that Trump will be and is putting an end to. With audits, trimming of fed employees, his plans to elminate some agencies/departments and merge others, real oversight of $ and where it goes, and so on - his second term will be awesome.

Ending corruption which includes justice for the corrupt actors he has said he will regard as his greatest accomplishment.

Without a doubt....only a global-wide pandemic could probably stop it...hmmm. Would collusion with the CCP on a viral release be out of the realm of possibilities for the DS & DNC? Knowing the communist RATs....naaaahhhh....they’d never do anything like that. /s

You’re right.

Middle class people get elected to Congress and 4 years later they’re all multimillionaires... You don’t have to be an Einstein to figure this one out...
