And Then There’s the Fraud

All this talk about Fauci “Pleading the Fifth” more than 100 times is sickening. At 85 years old, he’ll likely avoid prosecution and jail time. But none of us can avoid the damage his fame-seeking did to our country. And, not one of us is immune from the damage.

I believe children in school at that time will bear the damages the longest. Those who passed away lost the most and their relatives grieve the most. Workers fired for non-masking may never financially recover. Businesses lost will never be back, hurting owners, employees and customers.

We’ve read about all these consequences as a result of the publication of his ego-maniacal diary entries. We’ve read articles about the impacts. But so far, not one of them that I’ve read has talked about the massive amount of FRAUD.

In April this year, we’d not yet heard Fauci take the Fifth 100+ times. But that month, the SBA issued News Release 26-47: SBA Sends 562,000 Suspected Fraudulent Loans to Treasury for Collections Totaling $22 Billion

WASHINGTON — Today, in coordination with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it has referred  562,000 suspected fraudulent loans to the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) for collection, marking the SBA’s largest referral package on record. The borrowers are tied to $22.2 billion in delinquent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and COVID Economic Injury Disaster (EIDL) loans that were previously flagged for suspected fraud during the Biden Administration but never sent to Treasury for collection nor referred to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for investigation. 

You know whose money they loan out, don’t you? That would be our tax payments: your money and mine.

Pandemic Oversight Website

Check out this website if you want to get even angrier: https://www.pandemicoversight.gov/ See the section entitled “Fighting Pandemic Fraud: Arrests and Indictments”: a Phoenix family here, a MA State Police Sgt there, a multi-national software firm, a German subsidiary, and on and on. The US Government estimates $22 billion (yes, that’s with a B) in fraud.

Tony Fauci should have to return his government salary paid during Covid, all those awards he sought and won including the costs of government time and assets for getting them, any funding he authorized for illegal gain-of-function research anywhere in the world, any sponsorship money, any money he was paid for appearances whether “in-kind” or monetary, and any other ill-gotten gains. He should have his pension reduced to pre-Covid levels. After all, many Americans have lower pensions due to being out of work during that time. Why should Tony be any different?

Not only was Covid a fraud perpetrated on the US and the world, but it was the foundation for billions in actual monetary fraud plus the subsequent costs of prosecuting and jailing those who committed that fraud.

Anthony Fauci, if he never goes to jail, should be hurt financially like the rest of us. Sadly, whatever he does pay, would only be the drop in a $22-billion dollar bucket.

Pervasive Fraud

There are many types of fraud: theft of government property, theft of government services, fraudulent applications for government funds. Some are small… a few hundred dollars here or there. Some are larger… thousands received under false pretenses. Some are massive… millions or billions stolen right in front of our eyes.

I served as the mayor of a small town. I’ve been employed by government. My husband was foreman of a grand jury dealing with political corruption. We’ve seen and experienced a lot.

The fraud in Minnesota comes as no surprise. The scope of it does. Where was someone in government questioning the millions of tax dollars flowing who knows where? Watching all 43 minutes of this video is shocking and eye-opening.

Investigating fraud has nothing to do with skin color or countries of origin. It has to do with character or lack thereof.

I was in office 6 days when one of the largest snowstorms ever hit the northeast. A few weeks later, after thawing and freezing, many homeowners had significant water damage caused by ice thawing and backing up under eaves. An employee was in my office and we were chatting about this. Without blinking an eye, he suggested that to avoid the issue I head over to Public Works and grab a couple of buckets of “ice ban” (used to prevent icing on streets). If I threw it up on my roof, problem solved. He so casually suggested that I steal publicly purchased materials that it was evident to me he saw nothing wrong with it. The minute he left my office, I shared the conversation with his manager and said “If I ever catch that SOB or anyone else stealing from the taxpayers, I’ll fire them on the spot.” That was in 1996. I reported one employee to the county prosecutor with proof of what should have been considered “theft of services”: doing work for a private company on town time. I was informed, in writing, that this “didn’t rise to the level of a crime”.

This is how it goes in government. A little theft here, a little work for a private company there, repairs on a private home in return for help with getting a development approved… blind eyes turned to it all.

Elgin: $6 million taxpayer dollars missing. Bastrop: $25,000 taxpayer funds handed to an alleged non-profit with no subsequent reconciliation.

This is just what we know about. Tip of the iceberg? Likely yes.

I’ve been teaching a “Data & Research” class to teach those who are interested how to obtain, research, parse, and evaluate government data. There are many ways to circumvent transparency. If you’re interested in attending these classes, email me. These are your tax dollars being “inappropriately used”.
