Clinton Investigators: World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General is Corrupt Puppet of Bill Gates & Clinton Foundation

The current Director-General of WHO is Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and according to two key Clinton Foundation investigators , he @ @ @ @ @ puppet of illicit masters and master schemers running in the global vaccine and faux charity-health @ @ @ @ @ of masters like Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton .
Larry Doyle and @ @ @ @ @ John Moynihan , who testified in Congress against the corrupt Clinton Foundation , said in @ @ @ @ @ that the WHO head is just another chess piece on the board of world health @ @ @ @ @ controlled by overlords like Gates and the Clinton ’ s .
Listen to the insightful @ @ @ @ @

The current Director-General of WHO is Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and according to two key Clinton Foundation investigators, he is little more than a puppet of illicit masters and master schemers running in the global vaccine and faux charity-health care arena.
A puppet of masters like Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. Larry Doyle and former DOJ boss and partner John Moynihan, who testified in Congress against the corrupt Clinton Foundation, said in a scathing series of Tweets that the WHO head is just another chess piece on the board of world health schemers. And he is controlled by overlords like Gates and the Clinton’s.
1. The current head of WHO is a Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, formerly the head of the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia, a speaker at the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative, and named chair of the board of the Global Fund in July 2009: https://t.co/uNLFyywpG1 — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020
3. Not widely known or broadcasted is the fact that the Clinton Foundation and Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (an unauthorized and unapproved program by IRS codes) has been a sub-recipient of Global Fund money (pages 8, 9, 11, 25, 51): https://t.co/DRkhXwNBtl — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020
5. “to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to correct and prevent the misuse of Fund resources.” (page 6/10) The Congressional report and other reviews minimize the size of the fraud and misappropriation of funds. Others with a more discerning eye had a more critical take. — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020
7. Who was minding the purse strings of USAID which was the source of funds that went from the US State Dept to the Global Fund at this juncture? Documents we sourced from the State Department show that none other than Secretary Hillary Clinton herself over saw the USAID funds. — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020
10. the Global Fund and also other recipients of Global Fund money who in turn were donors to the Clinton Foundation (classic money laundering). These donors include the governments of Dominican Republic, Rwanda, and Lesotho. Where was the State Department IG while all this — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020
12. So when you hear from @BillGates and the World Health Organization @WHO and the Global Fund @GlobalFund and a host of others about WHO leader Tedros Adhanom and for another version of the Global Fund to battle coronavirus, please retweet this thread. — FBH (Financial Bounty Hunters/USA) (@LWDoyleUSA) March 27, 2020

Judging by the performance of the stock market , the economic recovery from the pandemic lockdown should be swift and dramatic , a so-called V-shaped recovery .
If only it were true .
The stock market ’ s recent gains don ’ t tell the full story of the absolute mess the US economy finds itself in , even as the worst of the coronavirus is behind us .
Rather , the gains in equity prices are more of an indication of the uneven stimulus methods employed by the feds .
These measures will almost certainly benefit Wall Street and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Main Street will be slow to come .
Wall Street executives and analysts predict a tale of two economies : Wall Street traders will make money , while Main Street businesses face economic conditions not seen since the Great Depression .

Judging by the performance of the stock market, the economic recovery from the pandemic lockdown should be swift and dramatic, a so-called V-shaped recovery.
If only it were true.
The stock market’s recent gains don’t tell the full story of the absolute mess the US economy finds itself in, even as the worst of the coronavirus is behind us. Rather, the gains in equity prices are more of an indication of the uneven stimulus methods employed by the feds. These measures will almost certainly benefit Wall Street and market speculation — even as their impact on Main Street will be slow to come.
Wall Street executives and analysts predict a tale of two economies: Wall Street traders will make money, while Main Street businesses face economic conditions not seen since the Great Depression.
I hope my Wall Street sources are wrong. I hope the money earmarked for small businesses and individuals as part of the $2 trillion rescue package will prevent the economy from falling off a cliff. I hope the money made on Wall Street trades will trickle down to small businesses when the economy opens up.
But there is good reason to believe the trickle-down will be pretty thin. Wall Street may recover fast as the economy founders.

In reality, the Main Street rescue hasn’t measured up to these boasts. Congress is still fighting over whether to add an extra $250 billion on top of the $350 billion in low-interest and forgivable loans to support small businesses, which employ nearly half of all Americans. – READ MORE

truepundit--2020-04-15--Democrats push for illegal immigrants to get coronavirus stimulus cash

Some Democrats are demanding that stimulus payments as part of the coronavirus response include illegal immigrants — part of an ongoing effort to eliminate all barriers to public assistance for those in the country without documentation .
The $ 2 trillion stimulus package passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump gives small business loans and assistance to individuals in the form of direct payments of $ 1,200 per adult and $ 500 per child .

Our examination identified pornographic images on the SIA’s personal devices, and the OIG took several steps to determine whether the images represented child pornography, including providing such images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Based on the SIA’s statements during the security interview, the OIG investigation concluded that the SIA had knowingly possessed child pornography, in violation of federal law and FBI policy.
The SIA was summarily dismissed by the FBI while the OIG investigation was pending.
Prosecution of the SIA was declined.
The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the FBI.

William Barr: ‘No Basis’ For Crossfire Hurricane Investigation, Durham Report Will Produce Indictments

Attorney General William Barr had harsh words for the Obama administration and its Department of Justice in an interview with Fox News ’ Laura Ingraham , warning that there was “ no basis ” for opening a probe into whether the Trump presidential campaign and the Trump transition team improperly collaborated with Russian officials to impact the outcome of the 2016 presidential election .
Barr even went so far as to suggest that there was something more sinister behind the probe .
“ My own view is that the evidence shows that we ’ re not dealing with just mistakes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more troubling here , and we ’ re going to get to the bottom of it , ” he told Ingraham .
“ And if people broke the law , and we can establish that with the evidence , they will be prosecuted.

“ The review upgraded into a criminal investigation in the fall , ” the Washington Examiner adds , “ giving the prosecutor the power to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indictments .
The attorney general told Durham to focus just as much on the time period after the 2016 election as before it.
” Barr says that Durham ’ s investigation is likely to conclude soon — but that it may not produce an official report , at least not as a primary product .

Barr even went so far as to suggest that there was something more sinister behind the probe.
“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. There is something far more troubling here, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” he told Ingraham. “And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.”
In 2019, the Justice Department charged John Durham with compiling a report on how the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation came together. “The review upgraded into a criminal investigation in the fall,” the Washington Examiner adds, “giving the prosecutor the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments. The attorney general told Durham to focus just as much on the time period after the 2016 election as before it.”

Sen. Ted Cruz has a message for the media: “STOP THE HATE NOW.”
The Texas senator unloaded on PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor and the mainstream media on Friday for using the coronavirus outbreak “to stoke racial & ethnic division.”
On Friday, Alcindor manufactured fake outrage against Surgeon General Jerome Adams. She reported that comments he made during Friday’s coronavirus briefing contained “offensive” language. Three minutes later, she claimed that “many” people found his “language highly offensive.” Alcindor then confronted Adams about his remarks, claiming they had incited outrage.
Imagine: you’re a professional NPR reporter, you have an opportunity to ask the US Surgeon General a Q—in the midst of a global pandemic w/ over 100k fatalities—and you ask “‘many people’ are offended by what you call your grandmother.” Seriously, what the hell is wrong w/ MSM?!? https://t.co/bbOA3VtiWW — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) April 11, 2020
