Report: $90 Billion in US Taxpayer Money Donated to Global Slush Fund to Fight AIDS But a Portion of the Funds Made It to Clintons, Soros and Others Instead

Report : $ 90 Billion in US Taxpayer Money Donated to Global Slush Fund to Fight AIDS But a Portion of the Funds Made It to Clintons , Soros and Others Instead An investigative report revealed that $ 90 Billion in US Taxpayer money has been funneled to overseas organizations in the name of helping those with HIV AIDS .
In reality the funds are distributed to organizations including the Clinton Health Access Initiative and George Soros ’ s Open Health Institute .

The story begins in August 2000 , a few months before Bill Clinton ’ s second term ends .
On August 19 , 2000 : Bill Clinton signed a bill establishing the Global Fund to Fight AIDS , intending to locate it inside the World Bank in Switzerland .

Victor Pinchuk was also a big donor to the Clinton Foundation .

How many billions left the US and landed in the pockets of individuals like the Clintons , Soros and others ?

An investigative report revealed that $90 Billion in US Taxpayer money has been funneled to overseas organizations in the name of helping those with HIV AIDS. In reality the funds are distributed to organizations including the Clinton Health Access Initiative and George Soros’s Open Health Institute.
Corey Diggs put together a report that shows that efforts to combat HIV AIDS may just be fronts for money laundering schemes ran by the Clintons and George Soros. The story begins in August 2000, a few months before Bill Clinton’s second term ends. On August 19, 2000:
Bill Clinton signed a bill establishing the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, intending to locate it inside the World Bank in Switzerland. The Washington Post reported “Clinton, who will travel to Nigeria and Tanzania, is directing Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers to begin negotiations with the World Bank to set up the trust fund.”
In her efforts to unfold the truth, Diggs uncovered that money sent from the US to help fight AIDS actually ends up in the hands of the likes of George Soros:
In 2003, The Global Fund issued [with funds from the US and others] its first grant to the Open Health Institute (OHI), an Open Society Foundation affiliate (George Soros) operating in the Russian Federation, to the tune of $88 million. Yes, Russia. Grants continued through 2018. But this wasn’t the only involvement George Soros had with the Global Fund. More on this in subsequent chapters. • The ANTIAIDS Foundation was founded by Elena Franchuk and husband Victor Pinchuk in the Ukraine, who went on to work with the Clinton Health Access Initiative in 2004. Of course, the Pinchuks also partnered with Coca-cola, George Soros, Kofi Annan, Elton John, and others. Victor Pinchuk was also a big donor to the Clinton Foundation. More on this in subsequent chapters.
In 2002 the Clintons inserted themselves into the global initiatives with AIDS:
Enter Bill and Hillary Clinton, who had nicely set this into motion back in 2000 just before Bill’s exit from the White House, and with the Clinton Foundation already established, why not create an illegal offshoot called Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and say it’s part of the foundation? Despite the fact it’s totally illegal to claim another non-profit within a non-profit without filing separate tax returns or registering it as a separate entity, but hey, this is par for the course for the Clintons. In fact, they went on with this charade for 7 whole years from 2002-2009 when they finally decided to separate it out as its own entity and begin listing their donors. This donor list is quite an eye opener and very extensive to say the least, including such donors as UNITAID, the Clinton Foundation, the CDC and CDC Foundation, WHO, The Global Fund, the World Bank, governments, universities, and hundreds more. Surely there is no pay-to-play action taking place in this upstanding organization.
Diggs uncovered a 2011 email from Cheryl Mills to Hillary Clinton, where Mills provides “talking points” for Hillary when discussing with Ellen DeGeneres her promoting Hillary’s HIV/AIDS speech:
Background: I spoke with Ellen DeGeneres’ manager, David McGuire, today about Ellen serving as a Special Envoy for Global HIV/AID Awareness. OGAC is developing a concept paper for consideration, but David agreed that there will be some sort of arrangement for Ellen to promote both your speech and World AIDS Day through social media or perhaps you phoning into her show at some point.
In conclusion, Diggs reports the following:
In short, U.S. taxpayers are forced to give their hard-earned money to the government, who has funneled $90 billion dollars of it to NGOs with a substantial amount to the Global Fund. Meanwhile, big pharma is lining the pockets of politicians. The Global Fund is in charge of distributing the funds to numerous organizations and NGOS, many of which are located in the US, as well as health ministries throughout developing countries. And yes, Clinton Health Access Initiative is one of the recipients, in addition to George Soros’ Open Health Institute, among many other familiar faces. Yet, the drugs repeatedly have issues with making it to the alleged victims of HIV, some have been watered down, millions in funds have mysteriously vanished, and the founding board member and chairman of the Global Fund did a 2-year stint in prison for securities fraud. Simultaneously, U.S. patients who are suffering from HIV cannot afford the $39,000/year treatment that is only costing $75/year for nearly the same treatment in developing countries. This is how your hard earned money is being spent – all $90 billion dollars worth.
How many billions left the US and landed in the pockets of individuals like the Clintons, Soros and others?

FL Republican Accuses Democrat House Manager Val Demings of Campaigning For VP On Taxpayer Dime Dane Eagle , a South Florida State Representative who is running for US Congress , offered his commentary on the media and impeachment scam in a conversation with this Gateway Pundit reporter this past weekend .
Eagle , who is a well-known ally of President Donald J. Trump ’ s and an advocate for the pardon of Roger Stone , told Gateway Pundit that the longer the impeachment circus continues , the more it is proven to be a sham .
“ No one outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it anymore , and it ’ s just another prime example of how out of touch the swamp really is .
The average American is focused on their daily lives , and in this strong Trump economy that means they ’ re busy being productive , unlike Congress.

” Eagle ’ s hard-line commitment to President Trump and truth-telling about the deranged Democrats seems to be paying off .
Just two months ago he announced his campaign for a Southwest Florida congressional seat being vacated by incumbent Francis Rooney .
Late last week , FEC reports revealed that he has raised a whopping $ 440,000k+ in under 60 days .

Dane Eagle, a South Florida State Representative who is running for US Congress, offered his commentary on the media and impeachment scam in a conversation with this Gateway Pundit reporter this past weekend.
Eagle, who is a well-known ally of President Donald J. Trump’s and an advocate for the pardon of Roger Stone, told Gateway Pundit that the longer the impeachment circus continues, the more it is proven to be a sham.
“No one outside the DC beltway is paying attention to it anymore, and it’s just another prime example of how out of touch the swamp really is. The average American is focused on their daily lives, and in this strong Trump economy that means they’re busy being productive, unlike Congress.”
He also called the House Impeachment Managers “a joke” and said that it is time for them to go back to their own chamber. Eagle then lambasted Central Florida Congresswoman Val Demings, a House impeachment manager, for campaigning for the VP role on the Democrat ticket on the taxpayers dime.
“Val Demings will have to find another way to campaign for Vice President, and not on the taxpayers dime.”
On whether or not President Trump would come out of the impeachment scam “stronger than ever.”
“The American people elected President Trump to drain the Swamp, which is exactly why the out-of-touch Democrats and the fake news media will do everything they can to stop him. This sham of an impeachment has backfired on them, and the American people are hungry to move forward. President Trump will come out stronger than ever, and his State of the Union Address will be his best yet, carrying him into election season towards a strong victory in November.”
Eagle’s hard-line commitment to President Trump and truth-telling about the deranged Democrats seems to be paying off. Just two months ago he announced his campaign for a Southwest Florida congressional seat being vacated by incumbent Francis Rooney. Late last week, FEC reports revealed that he has raised a whopping $440,000k+ in under 60 days.
This proves once again that standing with President Trump is not only the right thing to do for this nation, but also a great way to secure widespread support among Republican activists and donors.

‘ These past weeks , the Senate has grappled with as grave a subject as we ever consider : A request from a majority in the House of Representatives to remove the president .
‘ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they harbored no illusions that these trials would always begin for the right reasons .
Alexander Hamilton warned that “ the demon of faction ” would “ extend his sceptre ” over the House of Representatives “ at certain seasons.
” He warned that “ an intemperate or designing majority in the House ” might misuse impeachment as a weapon of ordinary politics rather than an emergency tool of last resort .
‘ The Framers knew impeachments might begin with overheated passions and short-term factionalism .
But they knew those things could not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ placed the ultimate judgment not in the fractious lower chamber , but in the sober and stable Senate .
‘ They wanted impeachment trials to be fair to both sides .
They wanted them to be timely , avoiding the “ procrastinated determination of the charges.
” They wanted us to take a deep breath and decide which outcome would reflect the facts , protect our institutions , and advance the common good .
‘ They called the Senate , quote , “ the most fit depositary ( sic ) of this important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether that trust was well placed .
‘ The drive to impeach President Trump did not begin with the allegations before us .
‘ Here was reporting in April of 2016 : “ Donald Trump isn ’ t even the Republican nominee yet… [ but ] ‘ Impeachment ’ is already on the lips of pundits , newspaper editorials , constitutional scholars , and even a few members of Congress.
” ‘ Here was the Washington Post headline minutes after President Trump ’ s inauguration : “ The campaign to impeach President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impeachment before us were not even the first ones House Democrats introduced .
This was go-around number seven .
Those previously-alleged “ High Crimes and Misdemeanors ” included things like being impolite to the press and to professional athletes .
‘ It insults the intelligence of the American people to pretend this was a solemn process reluctantly begun because of withheld foreign aid .
No , Washington Democrats ’ position on this President has been clear for years .
‘ Their position was obvious when they openly rooted for the Mueller investigation to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the facts proved otherwise .
It was obvious when they sought to impeach this President over and over .
Here ’ s their real position : Washington Democrats think President Donald Trump committed a “ High Crime or Misdemeanor ” the moment he defeated Secretary Clinton in the 2016 election .
‘ That is the original sin of this presidency : That he won and they lost .
‘ Ever since , the nation has suffered through a grinding campaign against our norms and institutions from the same people who keep shouting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

‘ This fever led to the most rushed , least fair , and least thorough presidential impeachment inquiry in American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Nixon spanned many months .
The special prosecutors ’ investigation added many more months .
With President Clinton , the independent counsel worked for years .
‘ It takes time to find facts .
It takes time to litigate executive privilege , which happened in both those investigations .
Litigating privilege questions is a normal step that investigators of both parties understood was their responsibility .
‘ But this time — no lengthy investigation .
No serious inquiry .
The House abandoned its own subpoenas .
They had an arbitrary political deadline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Christmas .
‘ So in December , House Democrats realized the Framers ’ nightmare .
A purely partisan majority approved two articles of impeachment over bipartisan opposition .
And after the Speaker of the House delayed for a month in a futile effort to dictate Senate process to Senators , the articles finally arrived here in the Senate .
‘ Over the course of this trial , Senators have heard sworn video testimony from 13 witnesses over 193 video clips .
We have entered more than 28,000 pages of documents into evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 180 questions .
‘ In contrast to the House proceedings , our trial gave both sides a fair platform .
Our process tracked with the structure that Senators adopted for the Clinton trial 20 years ago .
‘ Just as Democrats such as the current Democratic Leader and then-Senator Joseph Biden argued at length in 1999 , we recognized that Senate traditions impose no obligation to hear new live witness testimony if it is not necessary to decide the case .
The House Managers themselves said over and over that additional testimony was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They claimed dozens of times that their existing case was “ overwhelming ” and “ incontrovertible.
” That was the House Mangers saying their evidence was overwhelming and incontrovertible at the same time they were arguing for more witnesses .
‘ But in reality , both of the House ’ s accusations are constitutionally incoherent .
‘ The “ obstruction of Congress ” charge is absurd and dangerous .
House Democrats argued that any time the Speaker invokes the House ’ s “ sole power of impeachment , ” the President must do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked .
Invoking executive-branch privileges and immunities in response to House subpoenas becomes an impeachable offense itself .
‘ Here ’ s how Chairman Schiff put it back in October .
Quote : “ Any action… that forces us to litigate , or have to consider litigation , will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice.
” ‘ That is nonsense .
“ Impeachment ” is not some magical constitutional trump card that melts away the separations between the branches of government .
The Framers did not leave the House a secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 230 years .
‘ When Congress subpoenas executive-branch officials with questions of privilege , the two sides either reach an accommodation or take to the courts .
‘ That is the way this works .
‘ Can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot ?
How would Democrats and the press have responded if House Republicans had told President Obama , We don ’ t want to litigate our subpoenas over Fast and Furious , so if you make us set foot in court , we ’ ll just impeach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not what happened .
The Republican House litigated its subpoenas for years until they prevailed .
‘ So much for “ obstruction of Congress.
” ‘ And the “ abuse of power ” charge is just as unpersuasive and dangerous .
‘ By passing that article , House Democrats gave into a temptation that every previous House has resisted .
They impeached a president without even alleging a crime known to our laws .
‘ I do not subscribe to the legal theory that impeachment requires a violation of a criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why , for 230 years , every presidential impeachment did allege a criminal violation .
‘ The Framers explicitly rejected impeachment for “ maladministration ” — a general charge under English law that basically encompassed bad management ; a sort of general vote of no confidence .
Except in the most extreme circumstances , except for acts that overwhelmingly shocked the national conscience , the Framers decided presidents must serve at the pleasure of the electorate and not the pleasure of House majorities .
‘ As Hamilton wrote , “ it is one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and another to be dependent on the legislative body.
” ‘ So House Democrats sailed into new and dangerous waters .
The first impeachment unbound by the criminal law .
Any House that felt it needed to take this radical step owed the country the most fair and painstaking process ; the most rigorous investigation ; the most bipartisan effort .
Instead , we got the opposite .
The exact opposite .
‘ The House Managers argued that the President could not have been acting in the national interest because he acted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national interest , a conception shared by some of the President ’ s subordinates .
‘ This does not even approach a case for the first presidential removal in American history .
‘ Such an act can not rest alone on the exercise of a constitutional power , combined with concerns about whether the President ’ s motivations were public or personal , and a disagreement over whether the exercise of the power was in the national interests .
‘ The Framers gave our nation an ultimate tool for evaluating a President ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re called elections .
‘ If Washington Democrats have a case to make against the President ’ s re-election , they should go out and make it .
Let them try to do what they failed to do three years ago and sell the American people on their vision for the country .
‘ I can certainly see why , given President Trump ’ s remarkable achievements over the past three years , Democrats might feel uneasy about defeating him at the ballot box .
But they don ’ t get to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just because they ’ re afraid they might lose again .
They don ’ t get to strike President Trump ’ s name from the ballot just because , as one House Democrat put it , “ I ’ m concerned that if we don ’ t impeach [ him ] , he will get re-elected.
” ‘ The impeachment power exists for a reason .
It is no nullity .
But invoking it on a partisan whim to settle three-year-old political scores does not honor the Framers ’ design .
It insults @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is hard to believe that House Democrats ever really thought this reckless and precedent-breaking process would yield 67 votes to cross the Rubicon .
‘ Was their vision so clouded by partisanship that they really believed this would be anywhere near enough for the first presidential removal in American history ?
‘ Or was success beside the point ?
Was this all an effort to hijack our institutions for a months-long political rally ?
