| Fauci loses his $15 million taxpayer-funded security detail |
| 2024-12-27 |
| [World Tribune] Though he retired at the end of 2022, Anthony Fauci continued to receive taxpayer-funded security via the U.S. Marshals Service. Those personal security people would have come in mighty handy at the recent Butler, PA presidential assination attempt. The ex-White House Covid czar cost U.S. taxpayers $15 million via his government-funded security detail. That security detail has come to an end even though Fauci insists his life is still in danger. During his book tour last summer, Fauci, 83, said he worried "Deep down, that there’s a possibility that somebody’s gonna kill me." Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Fauci should never have been provided the taxpayer-funded security detail. "I’ve had 34 death threats in a week before. I have had death threats as soon as this last week," Paul said. "So we get them all the time, and nobody picks me up in a limo and takes me to where I want to go every day." "The only other person probably getting his level of security would be the president, vice president, maybe cabinet members, and a few members in leadership in the House and Senate," Paul added. The Daily Mail reported on Dec. 23 that the huge group of U.S. Marshals that were spotted at his home earlier this year were replaced by what appeared to be several private security bodyguards. "Over the summer, there were at least six U.S. Marshals with a fleet of vehicles parked in Fauci’s neighborhood," the report said. "The agents were ready for whenever he wanted to leave his property — which according to real estate websites is worth around $2.2 million." Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville told the Daily Mail: "I think we need to look at all security details," referring to the incoming efforts by DOGE. He added that it made "no sense" for Fauci to have that level of security. Fauci had continually denied that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had funded dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan, China lab where the Covid pandemic likely originated. But, in May of this year, NIH principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak confirmed during congressional testimony that the U.S. government had indeed funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which modified coronaviruses shortly before the outbreak began in late 2019. After Tabak’s testimony, Elon Musk demanded the arrest and prosecution of Fauci. "Prosecute/Fauci," Musk said his pronouns were in a post to X at the time. Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, Ph.D., a frequent critic of gain-of-function research, told The Defender: "Fauci perjured himself in three U.S. Senate hearings in 2021-2022, in which he denied — knowingly, willfully, and brazenly untruthfully — that NIH funded gain-of-function research and enhanced potential pandemic pathogens research in Wuhan. "Fauci perjured himself again in his transcribed interview with the U.S. House Select Subcommittee, in which he lied about the coverage of the policies, lied about his violations of the policies, and lied about his perjury before the Senate." Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D., professor of international law at the University of Illinois, told The Defender, "Fauci has already lied and perjured himself before Congress. He should have been prosecuted already. You cannot believe one word he is saying." Boyle, a bioweapons expert who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, said Fauci "knew about the Chinese lab leak all along and covered it up right from the very get-go around September of 2019." Fauci "has lied about it ever since then and about everything related to the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines in order to cover up his own criminality," Boyle said. |

| #10 $15 million over two years is $625,000/month, or $20,000/day. How many bodyguards did he need? |

| #9 Actor's trick. Much easier to lie that way, allowing only one possibility into one's head. |

| #7 We will continue to fund Fauci’s security. It will just be privatized. He is certainly still on our payroll, but the cash flow is too surreptitious to track. |

| #5 And some say the 2003 Iraq war was fought to supply Israel with oil...just sayin'. Too bad 4500 dead US soldiers aren't around to see what they "fought" for. |

| #4 Some things, they really don't change all that much. Not exactly the same as Ukraine or Covid, but the US Dollar medium of exchange....unchanged: The Oil-for-Food Programme was established by the United Nations in 1995 to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi citizens without allowing Iraq to boost its military capabilities.

| #2 As much as I dislike the A-hole. Protect him so he can stand trial for mass murder. Because, he needs to be kept alive, to answer for the over 1 million US deaths (10m worldwide), that he and yes OTHERS are responsible for, at his TV broadcasted trial. We need to hear answers to: WHO approved, supported, funded and deliberately lied to the public on many key issues about this Illegal US BIO Weapon Lab in the Communist China of all places? For WHAT end game did the lab exist? WAS it Population control, or a political agenda reason or both? HOW it leaked, or WAS it a planned release and for WHAT reasons? WHY do these new viruses strangely pop up or happened during US election cycles? Like we have seen in several recent previous US election cycles. WHO all decided to use the pandemic to violate basic Civil Rights. WHO all decided to publish Fake Science that even HS school kids blogging disproved. Who decide to punish those publishing REAL DATA/FACTS about the virus? Which allowed the DC Swamp and other government's Dictatorial controls, but then allowed large gatherings of radicals and perversion groups? |
