Follow the money: USAID’s $53 million problem; It looks like the Wuhan lab alone took home more than $50 million in taxpayer dollars

John Jay once declared, “Those who own the country ought to govern it.” The citizens of the Republic are its rightful stewards.

Yet unelected bureaucrats, operating in the shadows, funneled taxpayer money into high-risk gain-of-function research—and when exposed, they scrambled to cover their tracks. Only now are we beginning to grasp the full extent of the federal government’s entanglement in dangerous research conducted within the borders of our greatest adversary.

For years, government agencies—along with likely universities and private corporations—have secretly financed these risky experiments—most notably at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—without public knowledge or accountability.

Recent investigations reveal as much as $53 million and counting in U.S. taxpayer dollars funneled to Wuhan through USAID, the NIH, and the EcoHealth Alliance.

The American people have a right to know how their money was spent, who authorized it, and what consequences those responsible will face—if any.

Congress must pass legislation, and the president must, to the extent allowed by law, issue an executive order mandating full disclosure of any financial support for gain-of-function research in Wuhan—or any other adversarial nation-state. This requirement must apply to:

Federal agencies (e.g., NIH, USAID, CDC, DOD)
State agencies
Public and private universities
Corporations, nonprofits, and NGOs

Noncompliance must result in severe legal consequences, including civil penalties, immediate suspension of federal funding, and criminal liability. The government must make noncompliance painful. Any federal employee who obstructs or hinders any investigation, disclosure, or destroys evidence must face immediate termination and prosecution, with all benefits, including pensions, permanently revoked by legislative and executive action.

Well it’s not like we rose up and did anything about it, like our forefathers did.

So we get to b.tch at a minimum :)

Because we should have acted LONG AGO.

I’m just as much a wuss as the rest...I didn’t want to give up a comfy life to fight against the destruction of America.

We all SAT AND WAITED and hoped that Trump would win...THANK GOD he did because we weren’t giong to do anything if he didn’t.

We proved that through about 12 different occasions that were large enough to set off a revolution.

Thank you Trump

They’ve been using the tax payer money to fund all their fraud and criminal activity...

And what were these SOB’s doing just a few months ago? They were considering cutting Social Security and hiring 87,000 armed IRS agents to come after the American people for even more money, to keep this whole con-job going.

Rotten criminals does not begin to describe these people. They need to pay the tax payers back. Seize their homes, accounts, investments, property etc. They certainly would have no problem doing that to us.
