| COVID 'Relief' Package Has $3.5 Billion Earmarked for Bill Gates-Backed Global Fund |
| 2021-03-11 |
| [Western Journal] Hidden in the last few pages of the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion "COVID-19 relief" bill is a shocking provision earmarking at least $3.5 billion to a globalist foundation backed by multibillionaire Bill Gates. This revelation lends credence to mounting criticism that the pork-filled package — which is supposed to help struggling Americans — is yet another colossal waste of taxpayer money. On Page 613 of the Democrats’ 628-page relief bill is a provision calling for the contribution of "not less than $3,500,000,000" to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which lists the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as a "key partner." While it’s admirable to donate money to stamp out AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the world, it’s unclear why $3.5 billion of American taxpayer money has to be forked over now to this charity. Keep in mind that the mass coronavirus shutdowns of the past year have decimated the U.S. economy and forced millions of Americans into unemployment.

| #2 The US taxpayer has long been the world's biggest philanthropist. Unfortunately, like all really big "foundations," the giving is controlled by the leftists that have captured it. |
