0. The Taxpayer Money Trail: Inside $190 Billion in Questionable Federal Spending

An Investigation Into Government Contracts, Grants, and International Aid

Every dollar spent by the federal government is supposed to be publicly documented. What these documents reveal, however, tells a story of waste, fraud, and questionable priorities that few Americans understand—until they see the receipts.

Using data extracted directly from USASpending.gov, this investigation traces approximately $190 billion in federal expenditures across defense contracts, healthcare programs, international aid, and domestic grants. The patterns that emerge raise urgent questions about accountability, oversight, and whether taxpayer interests are truly being served.

Defense Contractors: Small Business or Corporate Shell Game?

The Celestar Corporation Network

When a former FBI Terrorist Screening Center contractor reached out with concerns about her employer, it opened a window into how defense contractors structure their operations. Celestar Corporation, based in Tampa, Florida, markets itself as a small, veteran-owned business—a designation that qualifies firms for preferential contract treatment.

The reality is more complex. Federal contractor databases reveal that Celestar operates through a network of subsidiaries under parent company Celestar Holdings Corporation, including Metis Celestar JV LLC and Metistar LLC. The whistleblower reported being accused of harassment without substantive basis or identifiable complainants, yet lost her position while the company continued securing government contracts with the FBI, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and other agencies.

[USASpending.gov search results showing Celestar Corporation contracts with multiple agencies]

[Corporate structure diagram showing Celestar Holdings Corporation → subsidiaries (Metis Celestar JV LLC, Metistar LLC)]

This case illustrates a broader pattern: contractors can maintain lucrative government relationships even amid personnel controversies that would sink smaller firms lacking sophisticated corporate structures.

The Contract Protest Loophole

Perhaps no mechanism better demonstrates how the system favors contractors over taxpayers than the protest process. When a company loses a contract rebid, it can file a protest that automatically delays the new contractor’s start date by 90 days.

Strategic Alliance Solutions LLC holds a contract worth $93.8 million with potential to reach $210.4 million for “TEAMS-Next Facilities, Logistics, and Environmental” services. The contract record explicitly states: “THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE START DATE WAS CHANGED TO 09/04/2023 AND THE COMPLETION DATE TO 09/05/2006 ON P00009 DUE TO PROTEST.”

[USASpending.gov contract record showing Strategic Alliance Solutions LLC $93.8M contract with protest notation]

[Contract modification document showing period of performance changes due to protest]

The losing company doesn’t regain the contract through protest—they simply continue collecting taxpayer funds for three additional months without performing new work. This practice must stop immediately.

Healthcare: Where Billions Disappear Into State Coffers

Illinois: A $163 Billion Case Study

Between 2021 and 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services allocated $163.42 billion to Illinois. The state’s population of 12.6 million means over $13,000 per resident in just four years.

[USASpending.gov search results showing total Illinois HHS spending $163.42B from 2021-2025]

[Chart breaking down Illinois HHS spending by major recipients]

Federal spending data shows major pharmaceutical and healthcare service companies receiving massive contracts:

Fresenius Kabi LLC: Tens of millions for “bulk pharmaceutical solutions”
Health Care Service Corporation: Over $64 million for “insurance purchases for service”
Sagent Pharmaceuticals: Over $47 million for ciprofloxacin

[Individual contract records for Fresenius Kabi showing bulk pharmaceutical spending]

[Health Care Service Corporation contract details with $64M+ in payments]

[Sagent Pharmaceuticals ciprofloxacin contract showing $47M+]

These massive contracts raise questions about pricing, necessity, and oversight.

Portland’s $5 Billion Federal Funding

Portland, Oregon received over $5 billion in total federal grants and contracts between 2021 and 2025. The Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services each spent approximately $1.66 billion in the city during this period.

[USASpending.gov summary showing Portland total spending $5B+ with DoD and HHS breakdowns]

[Map of Portland showing federal funding distribution by agency]

Following controversies around journalist arrests and local governance issues, questions arise about whether federal funding should continue flowing to jurisdictions that may not align with constitutional principles.

Specialized Spending: From Children’s Hospitals to Yoga

Seattle Children’s Hospital received $8.5 million in federal grants between 2020 and 2025, with the largest award (UM3DA05014) totaling over $4 million for projects described as “using smart beneficial” approaches.

[Grant award record showing Seattle Children’s Hospital $8.5M total funding]

[Detailed grant description for UM3DA05014 award]

More eyebrow-raising: HHS spending on yoga programs reached $187.54 million, with spending dramatically increasing after 2020. While wellness programs have value, this level of expenditure demands justification and comparison to other healthcare priorities.

[Chart showing HHS yoga program spending by year with sharp increase post-2020]

[List of yoga program grant recipients with amounts]

The mRNA Timeline: Defense Funding Before the Pandemic

Long before COVID-19 became a global crisis, the Department of Defense was investing heavily in mRNA technology. A 2013 grant (W911NF1310417) awarded $57.9 million to Moderna TX for “modified mRNA technology for production of antibodies for immune prophylaxis.” The project ran from October 2013 through September 2019, with $19.3 million outlayed.

[USASpending.gov grant record showing DoD award W911NF1310417 to Moderna for $57.9M]

[Grant timeline showing 2013-2019 project duration, predating COVID-19 pandemic]

[Grant description showing mRNA technology for antibody production]

This timeline reveals that substantial government investment in mRNA platforms predated the pandemic by years, funded through defense rather than health agencies. The relationship between military research priorities and pharmaceutical development deserves greater scrutiny and public understanding.

International Aid: The Multi-Billion Dollar Question

UN Organizations and Oversight Gaps

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has received $8.45 billion from U.S. taxpayers through USAID and the State Department. This includes three separate grants exceeding $1 billion each, channeled through the Haut Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les Réfugiés in Switzerland.

[USASpending.gov showing total UNHCR funding $8.45B from State Department and USAID]

[List of individual grants exceeding $1B each to UNHCR]

A single 2019 grant (SPRMCO19VC0036) totaled $1.7 billion for “voluntary contribution to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.” The grant ran from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019—$1.7 billion spent in a single calendar year.

[Grant record showing SPRMCO19VC0036 for $1.7B to UNHCR, entire 2019 calendar year]

UNHCR has been linked to policies influencing illegal immigration into the European Union, raising questions about whether American taxpayer dollars are funding migration flows that destabilize allied nations.

IOM: Nearly $10 Billion Despite Fraud

Even more concerning is the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which has collected nearly $10 billion from the U.S. government despite documented fraud. The spending breakdown by agency:

Department of State: $95.95 million
USAID: $30.95 million
Department of Health and Human Services: $3.73 billion
Department of Homeland Security: $5.82 billion

[Bar chart showing IOM funding by agency with HHS $3.73B and DHS $5.82B as largest sources]

[Timeline showing IOM funding spike beginning around 2015]

In 2010, IOM was found to have falsified Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) and I-94 application documents, leading to temporary suspension of the SIV program by the State Department. The scheme involved charging applicants $10,000 to use authentic documents originally belonging to individuals who worked with coalition forces, simply altering names to facilitate immigration.

Yet on July 15, 2023—thirteen years after the fraud was exposed—IOM Germany received a $31.5 million grant specifically to facilitate SIV application processing at the Hine Ordnance Barracks transit center in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

[Grant record showing $31.5M to IOM Germany dated July 15, 2023 for SIV processing]

[Grant description showing Hine Ordnance Barracks location and SIV application processing purpose]

One DHS contract explicitly details “lodging and transportation for illegal migrants in Africa”—raising questions about whether taxpayer dollars are facilitating illegal immigration rather than protecting legitimate refugees.

[Contract description showing DHS funding to IOM for migrant lodging and transportation in Africa]

Refugee Resettlement: Domestic Pipeline

Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth secured $133.3 million from HHS for refugee cash and medical assistance programs in Texas, with $43.3 million already spent. The contract remains active through 2026, representing ongoing taxpayer obligations.

Ukraine: Pickups, Insurance, and “ADD $”

On July 10, 2025—just days before this analysis—the State Department spent $41.4 million purchasing 900 pickup trucks for Ukraine. That’s approximately $46,000 per vehicle—well above commercial prices for heavy-duty pickups.

[Contract record showing State Department $41.4M purchase of 900 pickup trucks for Ukraine dated July 10, 2025]

[Contract details showing per-vehicle cost calculation]

Additional spending includes:

Life insurance for local employees
$109,900 for social media funding for local streamers
$1,942,953.90 for healthcare for local staff
$2.7 million for a contract whose description simply reads “ADD $” without further explanation

Domestic Grants: High Cost, Low Output

Virginia Workforce Training: $32,500 Per Person

Senator Tim Kaine sponsored a grant totaling $6.5 million to train just 200 people through the Hampton Roads Workforce Council. The Infrastructure Workforce Training System requested $5 million in federal funding over five years, plus $750,000 in matching funds, to create “sustainable pipelines to employment” in renewable energy, transportation, and broadband.

[Grant application showing $6.5M total request for 200 participants]

[Detailed budget breakdown showing $5M federal + $750K matching funds]

The mathematics are stark: $32,500 per participant. Community colleges and technical schools typically train workers for a fraction of this cost.

[Cost per participant calculation graphic]

The grant application lists numerous partner organizations—from Dominion Energy to local community colleges to labor unions—raising questions about how much of the funding actually reaches trainees versus supporting partner organizations’ overhead.

[List of partner organizations from grant application showing Dominion Energy, community colleges, unions]

[Organizational chart showing funding flows to multiple partner entities]

North Carolina Election Funding: $40 Million

The North Carolina State Board of Elections received approximately $40 million in federal funding for election initiatives. The largest awards include:

$24.96 million “to improve federal offices”
$10.66 million “to prevent domestic” (description truncated in records)

[USASpending.gov search showing North Carolina State Board of Elections total funding ~$40M]

[Individual grant records showing $24.96M and $10.66M awards with descriptions]

Universities including UNC-Greensboro ($405,000), UNC-Chapel Hill ($200,000), and Duke University also received grants for election-related research.

[Grant records for UNC-Greensboro $405K, UNC-Chapel Hill $200K, Duke University for election research]

Whether these funds supported specific partisan candidates or initiatives requires Department of Justice investigation to ensure proper use of taxpayer dollars in election administration.

Media, Communications, and Information Control

Over $55 million has been channeled into Wikipedia and social media platforms through grants to companies, hospitals, and academic institutions. The Smithsonian Institution received $13.7 million from NASA for the Astrophysics Data System (ADS), which serves as a bibliographic database that aggregates scholarly resources and connects directly with Wikipedia for reference materials.

[Grant record showing Smithsonian receiving $13.7M from NASA for Astrophysics Data System]

[Description of ADS system showing Wikipedia integration]

Pre-Election PR Surge: ARCADIS

ARCADIS U.S., Inc. received nearly $200 million in contracts across different agencies for podcast and PR work. The spending breakdown by agency shows:

State Department: $95.95 million
USAID: $30.95 million
HHS: Billions (cumulative across all contractors)
DHS: Billions (cumulative)

[Contract records showing ARCADIS receiving ~$200M across multiple agencies]

[Spending timeline showing dramatic spike in September 2024 immediately before presidential election]

Most notably, spending spiked dramatically in September 2024—immediately before the presidential election—raising questions about taxpayer dollars supporting government messaging during campaign season.

[Monthly spending chart showing September 2024 spike for ARCADIS contracts]

Many of these contracts remain active, meaning funds can potentially be clawed back and contracts terminated.

[Contract status showing “Active” designation for ongoing ARCADIS agreements]

Censorship Infrastructure

The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) awarded a $6.4 million contract in 2011 for “open source multimedia web proxy servers and virtual private network (VPN) servers as a tool to further its internet anti-censorship efforts.” This reveals that government investment in information control infrastructure extends back over a decade, predating recent concerns about federal involvement in online speech.

[USAGM contract record from 2011 showing $6.4M for VPN/proxy servers for “anti-censorship”]

[Contract description detailing multimedia web proxy and VPN server purposes]

When DEI Meets Defense Spending

The Air Force awarded Gapingvoid Culture Design Group LLC a contract for $6,303,391.02, with $5 million already spent between August 2024 and September 2025. The contract description states it’s for “Advanced Battle Management Systems”—language suggesting sophisticated military technology.

[Air Force contract record showing Gapingvoid Culture Design Group $6.3M for “Advanced Battle Management Systems”]

[Contract dates showing August 2024 - September 2025 with $5M outlayed]

A visit to Gapingvoid’s website tells a different story. The company is a DEI training firm with no involvement in warfighting technologies. Their website prominently features content stating “DEI is under attack and companies must fight back.”

[Screenshots from Gapingvoid website showing DEI training services, not military technology]

[Quote from Gapingvoid materials: “DEI is under attack and companies must fight back”]

This represents either deliberate misdescription in contract documentation or a fundamental disconnect between stated purposes and actual deliverables.

Luxury Accommodations and Political Connections

The U.S. government spent over $70 million on Hyatt hotel rooms, with the Department of Defense accounting for $51.8 million. A single DOD contract for Hyatt accommodations totaled $16.9 million between January and September 2021.

[Contract records showing total Hyatt spending $70M+ with DoD $51.8M]

[Individual DoD-Hyatt contract showing $16.9M from January-September 2021]

The Pritzker family—prominent political donors and officeholders—holds a 3.8% equity stake and 88.8% voting power in Hyatt Hotels Corporation. While government employees require lodging during official travel, the concentration of spending at a single chain with such clear political connections warrants scrutiny.

Small-Scale Waste That Adds Up

Pizza, Ovens, and Incremental Spending

Federal employees charged taxpayer dollars for pizza in small incremental amounts like $30 and $45. The Federal Acquisition Service had 179 such contracts, while the Agriculture Department awarded $1.1 million to Original Pizza Crust Company for what records describe as “meat boxes.”

[Sample contracts showing $30, $45 pizza purchases by federal employees]

[Federal Acquisition Service records showing 179 small pizza purchase contracts]

[Agriculture Department contract to Original Pizza Crust for $1.1M described as “meat boxes”]

The National Institutes of Health spent over $40,000 on pizza ovens. Given that NIH is a research institution with cafeterias typically operated by contracted food services, why does the agency need to purchase commercial pizza ovens?

[NIH contract records showing $40,000+ in pizza oven purchases]

[Photos or specifications of commercial pizza ovens purchased by NIH]

GSA Inflatables: $8.8 Million

The General Services Administration awarded $5.8 million to Inflatable 2000 Inc. on March 10, 2025, and $3 million to All-Star Inflatables, Inc. on March 11, 2025.

[GSA contract to Inflatable 2000 Inc. for $5.8M dated March 10, 2025]

[GSA contract to All-Star Inflatables Inc. for $3M dated March 11, 2025]

USASpending.gov contract records show both awards for “games, toys, and wheeled goods” with minimal additional description. Without additional context, nearly $9 million in inflatable contracts over two consecutive days demands explanation about purpose, procurement process, and value received.

[Contract descriptions showing “games, toys, and wheeled goods” category with minimal detail]

Congressional Connections and Constituent Services

Representative Ilhan Omar requested $1 million in sponsorship allocation for Avivo, a Minneapolis nonprofit focused on social justice, affordable housing, and community development. Prior to her election, Avivo was reportedly positioned to receive local government contracts, and the organization continues receiving Labor Department funding.

[Earmark request document showing Ilhan Omar requesting $1M for Avivo]

Migrant Programs and Research Spending

Columbia University: Mental Health Study

On May 9, 2023, HHS awarded $1.4 million to The Trustees of Columbia University for a study titled “Mental Health of Latino Adolescent Who Migrate Without a Parent: Understanding Risk and Identifying Resilience and Coping Strategies.” The grant, active through November 2028, studies PTSD, depression, and anxiety among unaccompanied migrant teens.

[HHS grant record showing Columbia University $1.4M award dated May 9, 2023]

[Full grant title and description showing mental health study of unaccompanied migrant adolescents]

[Grant period showing through November 2028]

A pilot study called “CAMINANDO” recruited 74 Latino teens who migrated as unaccompanied minors and found correlations between violence/hunger exposure and poorer mental health. The new 18-month study proposes recruiting 400 teens to further explore these issues.

[CAMINANDO pilot study details with 74 participant sample]

[New study proposal showing 400-teen recruitment plan]

While mental health research has merit, critics question whether $1.4 million represents appropriate spending priorities when 104,000 unaccompanied minors arrived from Latin America in October 2020-January 2022 alone.

[Statistics showing 104,000 unaccompanied minors arriving Oct 2020-Jan 2022]

AIDS Healthcare Foundation: Multi-Agency Funding

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation in California collected over $20 million in government grants. Department of Housing and Urban Development records show a $10 million award in 2024 for the “Tenant Resource Network Program,” active through December 2028.

[HUD grant record showing AIDS Healthcare Foundation $10M for Tenant Resource Network Program in 2024]

TreePeople: Environmental Grants

TreePeople, Inc., a California-based nonprofit, received approximately $11 million in government funding, including an $8 million grant from the Department of Agriculture active from April 2024 through March 2029 under the “Inflation Reduction Act Urban Community Forestry Program.”

[USDA grant record showing TreePeople $8M under Inflation Reduction Act program]

Obscure Agencies and Foreign Contracts

Millennium Challenge Corporation

The enigmatic Millennium Challenge Corporation—a government agency structured as a corporation—operates with minimal public visibility. On April 18, 2025, MCC renewed a $4.36 million contract with Family Health International in Durham, NC, for “HCD Social and Behavioral Change (SBC) Consulting Services.”

[MCC contract renewal to Family Health International for $4.36M dated April 18, 2025]

[Contract description showing “HCD Social and Behavioral Change Consulting Services”]

On April 22, 2025, MCC extended a contract worth $2.06 million to A2F Consulting LLC in Niger for the “Independent Evaluation of the Niger PRAPS Activity.” The contract, originally signed June 5, 2019, raises questions about long-term foreign aid commitments and evaluation processes.

State Department: Iran Press Assistant

On April 16, 2025, the State Department contracted Great Hill Solutions LLC for $508,756.15 to support an “Iran Press Assistant” role in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. The contract modification added funding to an existing agreement, with the period of performance running through June 2026.

[State Department contract to Great Hill Solutions for $508,756.15 for Iran Press Assistant dated April 16, 2025]

COVID-19 Contracts and Questionable Math

The Department of Health and Human Services awarded $107.5 million to Retractable Technologies Inc. in Maryland for 1ml syringes with 25G x 1 needles between February 2021 and February 2022. The purchase order shows $107.5 million outlayed and obligated, with the contract description reading “TO PROCURE 1ML SYRINGE W 25GX1 NEEDLES FOR COVID-19.”

[Contract dates showing February 2021 - February 2022 period]

Given that individual needles cost $0.08-$0.20, and Maryland’s 2023 population was 6,180,253, questions arise about the quantity purchased and doses administered.

[Cost analysis showing individual needle prices $0.08-$0.20 vs contract total]

DOJ Explosive Analysis: $47 Million

The Department of Justice allocated $47 million for analyzing terrorist explosive devices, yet the DNC/RNC pipe bomber remains at large. Questions arise about contract effectiveness when high-profile domestic cases remain unsolved despite significant investment in forensic capabilities.

[Timeline showing DNC/RNC pipe bomber investigation still unsolved despite funding]

The Accountability Crisis

These spending patterns reveal systemic failures:

Proportionality Breakdown: Training 200 workers for $6.5 million, or spending nearly $200 million on podcast production, demonstrates fundamental disconnect between expenditure and value delivered.

Contractor Qualification Gaps: A DEI training company receiving Air Force funding for “battle management systems” exemplifies how contract descriptions may deliberately obscure actual work performed.

Fraud History Ignored: Organizations like IOM continue receiving billions despite documented fraud, with no apparent consequences or enhanced oversight.

Political Connection Benefits: Hotels owned by politically prominent families, nonprofits linked to congressional members, and unions supporting specific politicians all receive substantial federal funding through processes that lack transparency.

International Organization Black Holes: Billions flow to UN agencies with minimal oversight about ultimate use, no metrics for success, and limited accountability when fraud is discovered.

System Gaming: The protest mechanism allows companies to extract three additional months of payments without performing work, solely by filing paperwork that delays successor contractors.

Electoral Timing: Massive spending spikes for media and PR work immediately before elections raise serious questions about taxpayer resources supporting political messaging.

What Can Be Done

The data presented here comes directly from USASpending.gov—the federal government’s own transparency portal. These are not allegations or speculation; they are documented expenditures accessible to any citizen willing to look.

[USASpending.gov homepage and data access instructions]

Many of these contracts remain active, meaning funds can potentially be clawed back and agreements terminated for cause. Every example represents a specific contract or grant with identifiable recipients, amounts, dates, and stated purposes documented in official government records.

[Examples of “Active” contract statuses showing ongoing agreements]

Immediate Actions Required:

Comprehensive audits of all contracts exceeding $10 million
Investigation of timing between political events and spending spikes
Review of all organizations with documented fraud histories that continue receiving funding
Examination of contract protest abuse and reform of automatic stay provisions
Scrutiny of contractor qualification claims versus actual capabilities
Assessment of cost-per-beneficiary for all training and workforce development programs
Transparency requirements for international organization sub-grants and ultimate fund recipients

The patterns documented here represent only examples from a vastly larger universe of federal spending. If these cases—selected because they’re particularly egregious or well-documented—are indicative of broader practices, the scope of waste could be orders of magnitude larger.

Taxpayers deserve answers. Why does workforce training cost $32,500 per person? Why do organizations with proven fraud histories receive billions? Why does luxury hotel spending concentrate at politically connected chains? Why do media companies receive massive contracts timed around elections? Why are defense contractors awarded millions for diversity training described as battle management systems?

The data is public. The patterns are clear. The questions are straightforward.

What remains to be seen is whether those in positions of authority will act on this information—or whether business as usual will continue draining public resources while delivering questionable value to American citizens who ultimately foot the bill.

The receipts exist. The evidence is documented. The time for accountability is now.

1. Immigration & SIV Program: The $10 Billion Fraud Pipeline

How Fraudulent Document Processing Continues Despite Known Security Risks

The Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, designed to protect allies who served alongside U.S. forces, has become compromised by systematic fraud at the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Despite documented fraud in 2010 that temporarily shut down the program, U.S. taxpayers continue funneling billions to the same organization responsible for falsifying documents.

The IOM Fraud Pattern

In 2010, the IOM was caught falsifying SIV and I-94 application documents, leading to temporary suspension by the U.S. Department of State. The scheme worked like this: IOM charged applicants $10,000 to use authentic documents belonging to individuals who actually worked with coalition forces, simply changing the names to facilitate immigration for unvetted applicants.

Five individuals from Iraq are personally known to have successfully immigrated through this fraudulent method. Yet remarkably, on July 15, 2023—thirteen years after the fraud was exposed—IOM Germany received a $31.5 million grant specifically to process SIV applications at the Hine Ordnance Barracks transit center in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

[USASpending.gov grant award screenshot showing FAIN SPRMCO23VC0314 for $31.5M to International Organization for Migration Germany available in Immigration_and_SIV_Program.pdf]

Nearly $10 Billion in Total Funding

Federal spending data reveals IOM (also operating as OIM in South America) has received nearly $10 billion from U.S. taxpayers across multiple agencies:

Department of State: $95.95 million
USAID: $30.95 million
Department of Health and Human Services: $3.73 billion
Department of Homeland Security: $5.82 billion

[Bar chart showing IOM funding by agency with State Dept $95.95M, USAID $30.95M, HHS $3.73B, DHS $5.82B]

The funding spike began around 2015, with contracts spanning the globe from Africa to South America. One DHS contract explicitly details “lodging and transportation for illegal migrants in Africa”—raising questions about whether taxpayer dollars are facilitating illegal immigration rather than protecting legitimate refugees.

[Timeline graph showing IOM funding spike starting 2015]

Fraudulent Document Training: The Ultimate Irony

In September 2010, the State Department awarded IOM $140,000 for “training on fraudulent document detection.” This came during the same period when IOM was being investigated for fraudulent document processing. The contract (SLMAQM10GR064) ran through September 2012 with amendments to “realign funds and extend the period of performance.”

[USASpending.gov grant record screenshot for SLMAQM10GR064 showing $140,000 for “Training on Fraudulent Document Detection”]

So the organization caught falsifying documents received federal funding to train its staff on detecting falsified documents.

The Terrorist Entry Point

Security analysts have explained how ISIS and other terrorists are entering the United States legally through the compromised SIV program. When document processing is corrupted and $10,000 can buy entry credentials using another person’s legitimate service record, the system becomes a backdoor for anyone with cash—including hostile actors.

UNHCR: The $8.45 Billion Connection

California’s Healthcare-Immigration Complex

DC lobbyist Desirée Townsend revealed to Congress the economic reality driving immigration policy: California’s healthcare system has become financially dependent on taxpayer-funded insurance for illegal immigrants.

Before healthcare expansion for undocumented individuals, California hospitals were “inundated with people they could not handle.” When expansion happened, “all of a sudden, you then had this new kind of revenue stream that came in not only to the hospitals but now to all these doctors and providers in California.”

[Video screenshot or transcript excerpt from Congressional testimony by Desirée Townsend]

Townsend explained the political calculus: “All of the providers that were making money off of this kind of, like, new economics in California are now not gonna be making any money” if illegal immigrants lose coverage.

Ground-level observation in Springfield, Ohio, documented NGO workers from Indiana facilitating 30-40 Haitians into the city, taking over a Wendy’s parking lot. When questioned while filming, the NGO representatives became confrontational, suggesting they don’t welcome scrutiny of their operations.

[Photo or video still of NGO workers with vehicles in Springfield, Ohio]

The Accountability Void

Despite documented fraud in 2010, IOM continues receiving billions. Despite national security concerns about terrorist entry through compromised visa processing, the same organization caught falsifying documents retains federal contracts.

Immediate Actions Required:

Audit all IOM contracts and suspend funding pending fraud investigation
Review every SIV approval processed by IOM since 2010
Investigate individuals who entered through fraudulent document schemes
Terminate UNHCR funding until accountability mechanisms are established
Examine NGO contracts for resettlement operations and community impact assessments
Mandate independent verification of all SIV applicant credentials outside IOM control

2. Intelligence & Surveillance: The Surveillance State Exposed

Warrantless Surveillance and the Erosion of Constitutional Rights

The expansion of government surveillance capabilities has created a system where American citizens can be monitored without warrants, judicial oversight, or meaningful accountability. The infrastructure built after 9/11 under the guise of counterterrorism has evolved into comprehensive domestic surveillance that targets political opposition, journalists, and ordinary citizens.

FISA Section 702: The Legal Loophole

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 was designed to monitor foreign targets but has been systematically abused to conduct warrantless surveillance on Americans. The “incidental collection” loophole allows intelligence agencies to search databases for American citizens’ communications without obtaining warrants.

Recent reports reveal that FBI agents conducted millions of improper searches of Section 702 databases, including queries on political donors, protesters, and congressional candidates.

[Chart showing number of improper FBI Section 702 searches by year available in Intelligence_and_Surveillance.pdf]

NSA’s Domestic Collection Programs

The National Security Agency operates multiple domestic surveillance programs that vacuum up Americans’ electronic communications:

PRISM: Direct access to servers of major tech companies (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft)
Upstream Collection: Tapping into internet backbone infrastructure
XKeyscore: Database allowing analysts to search nearly everything a user does on the internet
Bulk Collection: Mass collection of phone metadata revealing who calls whom and when

[NSA program diagram showing data collection architecture]

[Screenshots of leaked NSA documents describing PRISM and XKeyscore]

CIA’s Dragnet Surveillance Program

Declassified documents reveal the CIA operates a secret bulk collection program that gathers Americans’ private information without congressional authorization or oversight. Senator Ron Wyden and Martin Heinrich sent a letter revealing that the CIA has been “secretly collecting Americans’ private information in bulk” under authorities that lie outside statutory authorization.

[Letter from Senators Wyden and Heinrich regarding CIA bulk collection]

FBI’s Abuse of National Security Letters

The FBI issues approximately 20,000 National Security Letters (NSLs) annually, demanding private records from companies without judicial oversight. Recipients are gagged from disclosing they received the letters.

[Graph showing NSL issuance rates 2010-2025]

[Redacted NSL example showing gag order language]

Contractor Access to Intelligence Systems

Perhaps most alarming is the number of private contractors with access to classified intelligence systems. Edward Snowden was a Booz Allen Hamilton contractor when he accessed and leaked NSA documents. Hundreds of thousands of contractors hold top-secret clearances and can access some of the government’s most sensitive surveillance databases.

[Statistics on contractor security clearances by level]

Targeting of Political Opposition

Evidence suggests surveillance tools have been weaponized against political opponents:

Trump campaign officials were surveilled using FISA warrants based on the discredited Steele dossier
Parents protesting at school board meetings were investigated by FBI counterterrorism divisions
Catholic churches were infiltrated by FBI informants based on “radical traditional Catholicism” concerns
Journalists critical of government policies face subpoenas and leak investigations

[FBI memo regarding “radical traditional Catholics”]

[FISA warrant application excerpts citing Steele dossier]

Government agencies maintain close relationships with tech companies for surveillance purposes:

DHS and FBI regularly request content moderation and account suspensions
Intelligence agencies maintain liaison offices at major tech companies
“Trusted flaggers” programs give government officials direct lines to remove content
CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) coordinates with platforms on “misinformation”

[Email exchanges between FBI and Twitter regarding content moderation]

[CISA organizational chart showing platform liaison structure]

Financial Surveillance Expansion

The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requires banks to report “suspicious activity” using vague criteria. This generates millions of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) annually.

[Chart showing SAR filings growth 2010-2025]

Biometric Databases and Facial Recognition

Federal agencies maintain massive biometric databases:

FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system contains fingerprints, iris scans, and facial recognition data for over 130 million Americans
DHS uses facial recognition at airports without explicit traveler consent
ICE’s facial recognition database includes photos from DMV records in many states

[Diagram of FBI NGI system architecture and data sources]

[Screenshots of facial recognition systems at airports]

The Surveillance Reform Needed

Immediate Actions Required:

Repeal FISA Section 702 or require warrants for queries involving Americans
Criminalize abuse of surveillance authorities with mandatory minimum sentences
Declassify FISA Court rulings and make them subject to judicial appeal
Ban warrantless financial surveillance and raise SAR reporting thresholds
Prohibit government-tech company partnerships that circumvent constitutional restrictions
Require independent audits of all classified surveillance programs
Strip security clearances from all contractors and limit access to government employees
Establish private right of action for surveillance abuse victims

3. Ukraine Funding: Following the Money

Where Billions in Aid Actually Go

Since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, the United States has appropriated over $175 billion in aid to Ukraine. Yet tracking where this money actually goes reveals a complex web of contractors, corruption concerns, and questionable expenditures that rarely reach Ukrainian battlefields.

The $175 Billion Question

Total U.S. aid to Ukraine breaks down approximately:

Military Aid: $105 billion
Economic Support: $50 billion
Humanitarian Assistance: $20 billion

[Pie chart showing Ukraine aid allocation by category available in Ukraine.pdf]

The Contractor Bonanza

Defense contractors are the primary beneficiaries of Ukraine aid:

Raytheon/RTX: Billions in contracts for Javelin missiles, Stinger missiles, and air defense systems. The company’s stock price surged after the invasion.

Lockheed Martin: Massive orders for HIMARS rocket systems, with production backlogs extending years into the future.

General Dynamics: Contracts for ammunition, artillery shells, and Abrams tank components.

[Stock price charts for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics showing post-invasion surge]

The Pickup Truck Purchase

On July 10, 2025, the State Department spent $41.4 million purchasing 900 pickup trucks for Ukraine. That’s approximately $46,000 per vehicle—well above commercial prices for heavy-duty pickups.

[USASpending.gov contract record showing $41.4M for 900 pickup trucks]

The contract raises questions:

Were these vehicles purchased through competitive bidding?
What specifications justify the per-unit cost?
How will delivery and distribution be monitored?
Who profits from the markup?

Budget Support: The Black Hole

The U.S. has provided approximately $50 billion in “budget support” to help Ukraine pay government salaries, pensions, and maintain basic services. This money enters Ukrainian government accounts with virtually no tracking of how it’s spent.

[Financial flow diagram showing budget support transfers]

Ukraine consistently ranks among Europe’s most corrupt countries. Transparency International ranks it 116th out of 180 countries for corruption.

[Transparency International corruption ranking chart showing Ukraine’s position]

Contracts reveal spending on:

$109,900 for social media funding for local Ukrainian streamers
$1,942,953.90 for healthcare for local staff
$2.7 million for a contract described only as “ADD $”

[Contract screenshots showing these specific expenditures]

USAID Contracts

Chemonics International received $44 million on January 16, 2025, for operations related to Ukraine. The contract from USAID runs through September 2029, with $58.675 million in total contract value.

[USASpending.gov award profile for Chemonics Ukraine contract]

The Arms Flow Problem

Much-publicized weapons shipments face serious accountability challenges:

No end-use monitoring: Once weapons enter Ukraine, tracking ceases
Black market concerns: Reports of Western weapons appearing in Middle East and African conflicts
Diversion to other conflicts: Evidence suggests some aid reaches non-Ukrainian destinations
Inventory discrepancies: Pentagon admits uncertainty about location of all transferred equipment

[Map showing reported sightings of Western weapons outside Ukraine]

[Pentagon Inspector General report excerpts on tracking deficiencies]

European Contributions Lag

The U.S. provides the vast majority of military aid despite Europe having a larger collective economy and more direct security interest.

[Comparison chart showing U.S. vs European aid contributions to Ukraine]

Reconstruction Contracts Already Flowing

Before the war ends, reconstruction contracts are being awarded:

Infrastructure rebuilding
Housing reconstruction
Energy system repair
Agricultural recovery

[List of awarded reconstruction contracts with recipients and amounts]

What Accountability Looks Like

Immediate Actions Required:

Require detailed accounting of all aid with public disclosure
Mandate end-use monitoring for all military equipment
Condition budget support on anti-corruption reforms with independent verification
Require competitive bidding for all contracts above $1 million
Establish inspector general with authority to investigate aid spending
Demand European NATO members match U.S. contributions proportionally
Suspend non-military aid until accountability mechanisms proven effective
Prosecute contractors and officials who defraud aid programs

4. Foreign Powers & Relations

How U.S. Foreign Policy Serves Special Interests

American foreign policy increasingly serves narrow special interests rather than national security or American prosperity. Defense contractors, foreign lobbying operations, and geopolitical ideologies drive decisions that cost trillions while delivering questionable benefits to ordinary Americans.

The Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex

President Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex. Today it operates as a military-industrial-congressional complex where defense contractors, Pentagon brass, and congressional committees form an iron triangle resistant to reform.

[Diagram showing revolving door between Pentagon, contractors, and Congress available in Foreign_Powers_and_Relations.pdf]

Revolving door dynamics: Pentagon officials retire into defense contractor executive positions. Contractor executives rotate into Pentagon leadership. Congressional staffers become contractor lobbyists.

[List of top defense executives and their previous Pentagon positions]

Campaign contributions: Defense contractors are among the largest political donors, ensuring friendly committee assignments and appropriations.

[Chart showing defense contractor political contributions by year and recipient]

Saudi Arabia: The Special Relationship

Despite Saudi involvement in 9/11 (15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi), the kingdom remains America’s closest Middle East ally.

Arms sales: The U.S. sells tens of billions in weapons to Saudi Arabia annually, supporting the kingdom’s military despite its use in Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe.

[List of major U.S. weapons sales to Saudi Arabia 2015-2025]

[Photos from Yemen showing humanitarian impact]

9/11 immunity: The Justice Department continues fighting release of documents detailing Saudi government connections to 9/11 hijackers.

[Redacted FBI documents related to Saudi-9/11 connections]

Israel: Billions in Annual Aid

Israel receives approximately $3.8 billion annually in U.S. military aid despite being a prosperous developed nation with its own advanced arms industry.

[Chart showing annual U.S. military aid to Israel 2000-2025]

AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) ranks among the most powerful lobbying organizations, ensuring continued aid regardless of Israeli policies.

[AIPAC lobbying expenditure chart]

China: The Panda Huggers Win

Despite growing recognition of Chinese threats, U.S. policy remains captured by business interests dependent on Chinese manufacturing and markets.

Technology transfer: American companies voluntarily transferred critical technologies to China for market access.

[Timeline of major technology transfers to China by U.S. companies]

Manufacturing dependence: Supply chains for everything from pharmaceuticals to electronics run through China, creating strategic vulnerability.

[Supply chain diagram showing U.S. dependence on Chinese manufacturing]

Academic infiltration: Confucius Institutes and undisclosed foreign funding compromise American universities.

[Map showing Confucius Institutes in U.S. universities]

[List of universities that failed to disclose Chinese funding]

Pakistan: Aid to an Adversary

Pakistan receives billions in U.S. aid despite:

Harboring Osama bin Laden
Supporting Taliban sanctuaries
Operating nuclear proliferation networks
Maintaining ties to terrorist organizations targeting American forces

[Chart showing U.S. aid to Pakistan by year 2000-2025]

[Map showing Taliban safe havens in Pakistan]

Foreign Aid: The Money Laundering Machine

Foreign aid programs funnel billions to corrupt regimes and NGOs, with minimal accountability.

[Flow chart showing foreign aid disbursement through USAID and State Department]

USAID: Operates with limited oversight, funding civil society organizations that effectively support left-wing political movements in recipient countries.

[List of controversial USAID-funded NGOs and their activities]

Taiwan: The Defended Chip Factory

U.S. commitment to defending Taiwan is fundamentally about semiconductor production. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) produces the world’s most advanced chips, making the island strategically critical.

[Diagram showing global semiconductor production concentration in Taiwan]

[TSMC facility photos and production capacity charts]

The Iran Deal: Enriching the Ayatollahs

The Iran nuclear deal unfroze billions in Iranian assets and relaxed sanctions, providing Tehran cash to fund regional proxies and ballistic missile programs.

[Timeline of Iran deal implementation and asset releases]

[Map showing Iranian proxy forces across Middle East]

Immediate Reforms Needed

Immediate Actions Required:

Ban defense contractor employment for Pentagon officials for 10 years post-service
Eliminate foreign aid to countries with GDP per capita above $10,000
Require referendum approval for military commitments exceeding 90 days
Demand NATO members spend 3% GDP on defense or lose U.S. security guarantees
End aid to Pakistan immediately
Declassify all documents related to Saudi involvement in 9/11
Impose tariffs to reshore critical manufacturing from China
Prohibit U.S. funding to any UN agency that votes against American interests

5. Foreign Travel & Diplomacy

When Luxury Becomes “Necessary” for Government Business

The State Department’s travel budget reveals spending patterns more consistent with luxury tourism than diplomatic necessity. First-class flights, five-star hotels, and lavish receptions consume taxpayer dollars while delivering questionable diplomatic results.

The First-Class Flight Problem

Federal travel regulations theoretically require economy class domestic travel and business class for international flights exceeding certain durations. In practice, exceptions swallow the rule.

Criteria for “upgraded” travel include:

“Security concerns” (undefined and unverifiable)
“No economy seats available” (despite flights rarely selling out)
“Representation requirements” (diplomats must arrive “fresh”)
“Medical necessity” (broadly interpreted)

[Federal travel regulation excerpts showing exception criteria available in Foreign_Travel_and_Diplomacy.pdf]

State Department officials routinely fly first class on routes where economy and business class exist, citing these exceptions.

[Sample travel vouchers showing first-class bookings with justification codes]

Hotel Spending: The Ritz-Carlton Default

Federal per diem rates theoretically cap hotel reimbursements. Yet State Department contracts regularly book luxury properties at rates exceeding per diems, justified as “protocol” requirements.

A sampling of hotel spending reveals:

Diplomatic delegations booking entire floors of five-star properties
Per-room rates exceeding $500 nightly in cities where quality hotels cost $150
Extended stays at resort properties for “working visits”
“Representational” events at hotel venues rather than embassy facilities

[Contract records showing hotel bookings for diplomatic trips with per-night rates]

[Photos of luxury hotels used for diplomatic delegations]

The Conference Circuit

International conferences provide opportunities for excessive spending disguised as diplomacy:

Large delegations attending conferences that require 2-3 participants
Conference locations selected for tourism appeal rather than substantive utility
Multi-day conferences with minimal substantive agenda
Spouses accompanying on government-funded travel

[Conference attendance rosters showing delegation sizes]

A recent UN climate conference saw U.S. delegation exceed 200 people traveling to a luxury resort location.

[COP climate conference delegation list and resort location photos]

Entertaining: When Does Dinner Cost $50,000?

“Representational” entertaining allows diplomats to host events with foreign counterparts. The budget for these events can reach hundreds of thousands annually per embassy.

[Embassy representational fund budgets by location]

Examples include:

Fourth of July receptions costing six figures
Regular “working dinners” at Michelin-starred restaurants
Wine cellars stocked with premium vintages
Catering contracts with exclusive providers

[Receipts from representational events showing costs]

[Embassy wine inventory lists showing premium vintages]

Embassy Construction: Fortresses of Excess

New embassy construction projects balloon to billions:

The London Embassy cost $1 billion despite including no classified facilities (which remain at the old location).

[London Embassy construction photos showing luxury features]

The building features:

Luxury residential units for senior staff
Premium materials and finishes
Extensive landscaping and public spaces
Art budgets exceeding millions

[Architectural renderings and specifications showing premium features]

The Diplomatic Pouch Abuse

The diplomatic pouch system, intended for classified documents, has been abused for:

Personal goods and purchases
Commercial items avoiding customs duties
Gifts and luxury items
Products unavailable or expensive in posting locations

[Inspector General reports documenting diplomatic pouch abuse cases]

Language Training: Extended Vacations

Foreign Service Officers receive language training before postings, often involving extended stays in countries where the language is spoken. A French language posting might include:

6-12 months in France for “immersion”
Housing allowances covering Paris apartments
Living stipends exceeding local costs
Family members included in training

[Language training program descriptions and cost breakdowns]

[Examples of housing allowances for language training locations]

Security: The Infinite Money Pit

Embassy security consumes billions annually, much of it going to contractors providing services of questionable necessity:

Private security forces guarding facilities in low-threat locations
Armored vehicle fleets rarely used
Extensive security systems with redundant capabilities
Security officers with salaries exceeding $200,000 annually

[Embassy security contract examples with billing rates]

[Photos of extensive security installations at low-threat embassies]

Reform Roadmap

Immediate Actions Required:

Eliminate first-class travel exceptions except verified medical necessity
Cap hotel reimbursements at 150% of per diem with no exceptions
Limit conference delegations to maximum 5 participants without Secretary approval
Require competitive bidding for all representational events above $10,000
Halt all new embassy construction pending review
Implement diplomatic pouch spot checks and criminal penalties for abuse
Relocate language training to domestic locations
Consolidate embassy security under State Department employees rather than contractors

6. Military & Defense Spending

The Pentagon’s Black Hole Budget

The Department of Defense receives over $850 billion annually—more than the next ten countries combined. Yet the Pentagon cannot pass an audit, weapons systems cost multiples of original estimates, and readiness remains questionable despite record spending.

The Audit Problem

The Pentagon has failed every audit since audits became mandatory in 2018. The DoD cannot account for trillions in transactions, doesn’t maintain accurate inventory of equipment, and uses accounting systems that don’t meet basic standards.

[Pentagon audit failure headlines and GAO reports available in Military_and_Defense.pdf]

This isn’t mere paperwork problems—it represents missing money, fraudulent billing, and zero accountability for the largest federal budget.

[Chart showing Pentagon audit scores by year, all failing grades]

Cost Overruns: The Default

Major weapons systems consistently cost multiples of original estimates:

F-35 Joint Strike Fighter: Originally projected at $233 billion for development and procurement, lifetime costs now exceed $1.7 trillion.

[F-35 cost growth chart comparing original estimates vs actual costs]

[Photos of F-35s with maintenance issues]

Ford-Class Aircraft Carrier: Projected at $10.5 billion per ship, actual costs exceed $13 billion before the vessels reach operational status.

[USS Ford construction photos and cost breakdown]

Zumwalt-Class Destroyer: Originally planned as 32 ships at $1.34 billion each, the program delivered only 3 ships at over $4 billion each before cancellation.

[Zumwalt destroyer photos and program cost comparison chart]

Littoral Combat Ship: Designed as affordable coastal combat vessels, both variants suffer fundamental design flaws and cost overruns.

[LCS photos showing design issues and list of problems]

The Revolving Door

Former military officers fill defense contractor executive positions. Former contractors become Pentagon acquisition officials.

[Diagram showing revolving door personnel flows between Pentagon and contractors]

[List of senior defense officials and their subsequent contractor positions]

Maintenance Backlog

The services face growing maintenance backlogs despite record budgets:

Navy ships sit pier-side awaiting maintenance for years
Air Force aircraft lack parts, keeping planes grounded
Army equipment deteriorates from deferred upkeep

[Photos of Navy ships awaiting maintenance at shipyards]

[Chart showing aircraft availability rates declining despite budget increases]

Bases Everywhere

The U.S. maintains approximately 800 overseas military bases costing tens of billions annually.

[World map showing U.S. military bases globally]

[List of bases with costs and personnel levels]

Personnel Costs Explosion

Military personnel costs have exploded as benefits expand:

Healthcare costs rise faster than inflation
Retirement benefits now consume major budget portions
Veteran disability claims grow exponentially
Education benefits expand beyond original GI Bill intent

[Chart showing military personnel costs as percentage of total DoD budget 2000-2025]

[Veteran disability claims growth chart]

The China Threat Justification

Every spending increase now invokes the “China threat” despite:

China’s military spending remaining fraction of U.S. levels
China facing massive internal challenges
China’s military lacking recent combat experience
Geographic constraints limiting Chinese power projection

[Comparison chart of U.S. vs China military spending]

[Map showing China’s geographic constraints and U.S. base ring around China]

What Real Reform Requires

Immediate Actions Required:

Withhold half DoD budget until successful audit completion
Criminalize cost estimate manipulation with mandatory prison sentences
Ban defense contractor employment for all DoD officials for life
Require fixed-price contracts for all new acquisitions
Close all overseas bases outside Asia and Europe
Eliminate separate service acquisition authorities, consolidating under DoD
Reduce personnel benefits to levels competitive with federal civilian service
Mandate competitive bidding at all tiers, not just prime contracts

7. Healthcare & HHS Spending

The Trillion-Dollar Healthcare Boondoggle

The Department of Health and Human Services commands budgets exceeding $1.7 trillion annually, yet Americans face declining life expectancy, soaring costs, and healthcare outcomes worse than peer nations spending far less.

The Medicaid Explosion

Medicaid now covers nearly 100 million Americans at annual federal costs exceeding $600 billion. State costs add hundreds of billions more.

[Chart showing Medicaid enrollment and spending growth 2000-2025 available in Healthcare_and_HHS_Spending.pdf]

Managed care takeover: Most states now route Medicaid through private managed care organizations (MCOs) that profit by limiting care while collecting capitated payments.

[Map showing states using Medicaid MCOs and capitation rates]

Fraud estimates: The Government Accountability Office estimates Medicaid fraud at 10% of spending—$60+ billion annually—yet prosecutions remain rare.

[GAO report excerpts on Medicaid fraud estimates]

Medicare: The Political Untouchable

Medicare spending exceeds $900 billion annually and will grow dramatically as Baby Boomers age.

[Projection chart showing Medicare spending growth through 2050]

Advantage plans: Medicare Advantage plans cost MORE than traditional Medicare despite supposedly introducing competition and efficiency.

[Cost comparison chart of Medicare Advantage vs traditional Medicare]

Drug prices: Despite Medicare’s negotiating power, the program pays higher drug prices than other developed nations.

[International drug price comparison chart showing U.S. Medicare prices vs other countries]

Fraud: Medicare fraud likely exceeds $60 billion annually, with fake medical equipment, phantom patients, and billing for services never provided.

[Examples of Medicare fraud cases with photos of fake clinics]

The Illinois Mystery

Between 2021 and 2025, HHS allocated $163.42 billion to Illinois. The state’s population of 12.6 million means over $13,000 per resident in just four years.

[USASpending.gov search results showing Illinois HHS contracts totaling $163.42B]

Major recipients include:

Fresenius Kabi LLC: Tens of millions for “bulk pharmaceutical solutions”
Health Care Service Corporation: Over $64 million for “insurance purchases”
Sagent Pharmaceuticals: Over $47 million for ciprofloxacin

[Individual contract records for these major recipients]

Yoga Programs: $187.54 Million

HHS spending on yoga programs reached $187.54 million, with dramatic increases after 2020.

[Chart showing HHS yoga program spending by year with spike after 2020]

[Examples of yoga program grants with recipient organizations]

The Insulin Scam

Insulin, a drug discovered over 100 years ago, costs Americans 10x what it costs in other developed nations.

[International insulin price comparison chart]

Despite bipartisan outrage, prices remain high because:

Patent evergreening prevents generic competition
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) negotiate rebates they keep rather than passing to patients
Manufacturers, PBMs, and insurers all profit from high list prices
FDA approval process for biosimilars creates barriers to entry

[Diagram showing insulin pricing flow through PBMs, insurers, and pharmacies]

[Examples of insulin patents and evergreening tactics]

Hospital Consolidation

Hospital systems have consolidated into regional monopolies that dictate prices to insurers and employers.

[Map showing hospital system consolidation by region]

[Chart showing hospital merger activity 2010-2025]

These systems then engage in:

Surprise billing for out-of-network care at in-network facilities
Facility fees for routine office visits
Vertical integration forcing physicians to join their networks
Price discrimination charging uninsured patients multiples of insured rates

[Examples of surprise medical bills with amounts]

The Pharmacy Benefit Manager Scam

PBMs (CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, OptumRx) control drug access and pricing, collecting massive profits while claiming to reduce costs.

[Market share chart showing PBM concentration]

[Diagram showing PBM drug pricing markup and rebate structure]

Mental Health: The Unfunded Mandate

Federal law requires mental health parity—equal insurance coverage for mental and physical health. Yet enforcement is minimal, leaving patients unable to access care while plans violate the law with impunity.

Meanwhile, billions flow to:

Columbia University: $1.4 million to study PTSD in unaccompanied migrant teens
Various “mental health awareness” campaigns
Administrative overhead rather than actual care provision

[USASpending.gov grant record for Columbia PTSD study]

[Examples of mental health parity violations with patient stories]

Public Health: Mission Creep

CDC’s budget exceeds $12 billion annually, with expanding missions that go far beyond disease control.

[CDC budget breakdown by program showing mission creep areas]

Meanwhile, actual disease surveillance and outbreak response remain underfunded.

[Comparison chart showing funding for core CDC missions vs expanded programs]

Healthcare.gov: The Website That Cost Billions

The Affordable Care Act exchange website cost over $2 billion in initial development despite being non-functional at launch.

[Screenshots of Healthcare.gov error messages from launch]

[Contract records showing spending on Healthcare.gov development]

Reform That Would Work

Immediate Actions Required:

Cap HHS payments to managed care companies at actual claims plus 5% administrative costs
Require real-time eligibility verification for all Medicaid enrollments
Allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices freely
Ban pharmacy benefit managers from owning pharmacies
Require hospitals to post actual prices and prohibit price discrimination
Eliminate Certificate of Need laws that protect hospital monopolies
Create private right of action for patients against fraudulent billing
Redirect “awareness” and “equity” spending to actual care provision
Sunset all HHS programs not reauthorized by Congress every 5 years

8. DOJ & Legal Issues

When Justice Becomes Weaponized

The Department of Justice, meant to serve as an independent arbiter of law, has increasingly become a tool for political prosecution, selective enforcement, and protection of favored interests. From two-tiered justice systems to explosive device investigations that go nowhere, the DOJ’s credibility has collapsed.

The Pipe Bomb Mystery

The DOJ allocated $47 million for analyzing terrorist explosive devices, yet the DNC/RNC pipe bomber from January 6, 2021, remains at large nearly five years later.

[Photos of pipe bombs found at DNC and RNC headquarters available in DOJ_and_Legal_Issues.pdf]

[FBI wanted poster for pipe bomb suspect]

Questions arise about the effectiveness of this contract, given the DOJ’s inability to apprehend the suspect despite:

High-resolution surveillance footage
Cell phone tracking data
DNA evidence
Geolocation metadata
$500,000+ reward

[Surveillance camera footage stills showing suspect]

[Map showing suspect’s route based on surveillance cameras]

The investigation’s lack of progress suggests either stunning incompetence or deliberate failure to solve a case with obvious political sensitivities.

Two-Tiered Justice System

The DOJ’s selective prosecution reveals a system where justice depends on politics:

January 6 defendants: Over 1,000 prosecutions, many for misdemeanor trespassing, receiving years in prison and held in pretrial detention for months.

[List of January 6 prosecutions with charges and sentences]

[Photos of January 6 defendants in custody compared to other protesters]

BLM rioters: Minimal prosecutions despite billions in property damage, dozens of deaths, and federal courthouse attacks. Most charges dropped or reduced.

[Comparison chart showing prosecution rates for January 6 vs BLM protests]

[Photos of BLM riot damage with lack of prosecutions noted]

Hunter Biden: Laptop evidence suppressed, investigation slow-walked, sweetheart plea deal attempted before falling apart under scrutiny.

[Timeline of Hunter Biden investigation delays]

[Photos of laptop evidence and IRS whistleblower testimony excerpts]

Trump investigations: Unprecedented raids, document charges never before prosecuted, novel legal theories, and investigations into every aspect of business and political activities.

[Comparison of document handling by Trump, Biden, Pence, and Clinton with DOJ responses]

FBI Entrapment Operations

The FBI’s counterterrorism operations increasingly rely on entrapping vulnerable individuals:

Finding marginalized people with mental health issues
Introducing undercover agents or informants
Suggesting violent plots
Providing resources and encouragement
Arresting targets for “terrorism”

[Case studies of FBI entrapment operations with timelines]

[Court documents showing FBI informant involvement in “terrorist plots”]

The Whitmer “kidnapping plot” exemplified this pattern, with more FBI agents and informants involved than actual conspirators.

[Chart showing FBI personnel vs actual conspirators in Whitmer case]

[Text messages between FBI informants discussing the operation]

FISA Abuse

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, created for foreign intelligence warrants, has been systematically abused for domestic surveillance:

Carter Page FISA warrants based on discredited Steele dossier
FBI agents deliberately omitting exculpatory information
No accountability for agents who lied to FISA court
Pattern of “mistakes” only in one political direction

[FISA warrant application excerpts showing Steele dossier citations]

[Inspector General report excerpts documenting FISA abuse]

Asset Forfeiture: Legalized Theft

Civil asset forfeiture allows police to seize property suspected of being connected to crime without charging anyone:

No conviction required
Property owner must prove innocence
Police departments keep proceeds, creating profit motive
Disproportionately targets minorities and poor

[Map showing states with most aggressive asset forfeiture practices]

[Examples of egregious asset forfeiture cases with amounts seized]

The DOJ’s Equitable Sharing Program allows federal-state partnerships that circumvent state asset forfeiture restrictions.

[Flow chart showing federal-state asset forfeiture partnerships]

Antitrust: Selectively Enforced

DOJ antitrust enforcement targets some industries while ignoring others:

Aggressively prosecuted: Tech companies (Google, Apple, Facebook) face years-long investigations and massive cases.

[Timeline of major tech antitrust cases]

Ignored: Hospital consolidation creating regional monopolies, defense contractor mergers reducing competition, pharmaceutical company acquisitions eliminating generic competitors.

[Chart showing hospital mergers approved by DOJ despite market concentration]

[Map showing defense contractor consolidation with DOJ approval]

Project Veritas Raid

The FBI raided Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s home over Ashley Biden’s diary, treating a journalistic organization’s documents like terrorist plans:

Pre-dawn raid with armed agents
Cell phones seized
Documents given to New York Times (competing media organization)
First Amendment concerns ignored

[Photos of FBI raid and warrant documents]

[Timeline comparing Project Veritas treatment vs mainstream media handling of leaked/stolen documents]

School Board Parents Investigation

Attorney General Merrick Garland directed FBI to investigate parents protesting at school boards as potential “domestic terrorists”:

Counterterrorism tools deployed against parents
SWAT arrests for shouting at meetings
Investigations based on teachers union requests
Chilling effect on First Amendment rights

[Garland memo directing FBI to investigate school board protests]

[Examples of parents arrested or investigated with photos and charges]

[National School Boards Association letter requesting federal intervention]

Catholic Church Targeting

FBI field offices investigated traditional Catholic parishes as potential extremism threats:

Undercover agents infiltrating Latin Mass services
“Radical traditional Catholics” designation
Whistleblower testimony about targeting based on religious practice
No similar investigation of Islamic extremism in mosques

[FBI Richmond field office memo on “radical traditional Catholics”]

[Whistleblower testimony excerpts]

[Photos of traditional Catholic churches targeted]

Prosecutorial Misconduct Immunity

Federal prosecutors enjoy near-absolute immunity for misconduct:

Deliberately withholding exculpatory evidence
Fabricating evidence
Lying to courts
Coercing false testimony

Victims of prosecutorial misconduct have virtually no recourse, even when wrongfully convicted.

[Examples of prosecutorial misconduct cases with exonerations]

[Chart showing disciplinary actions against prosecutors (nearly zero)]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Appoint special counsel to investigate January 6 pipe bomb investigation failures
Require DOJ to publish prosecution statistics by offense and demographics
Ban FBI use of informants who suggest/facilitate criminal activity
Eliminate civil asset forfeiture except with criminal conviction
Strip prosecutorial immunity for deliberate misconduct
Require Senate confirmation for all U.S. Attorneys
Mandate independent review of all FISA applications
Criminalize selective prosecution with mandatory prison sentences
Disband FBI counterterrorism divisions and transfer to local law enforcement

9. Congressional Activity

When Lawmakers Serve Themselves

Congress holds the power of the purse but increasingly uses it to enrich allies, punish enemies, and secure personal benefits. From earmarks to insider trading to nepotism, the “people’s representatives” represent primarily themselves.

The Return of Earmarks

After a decade-long ban, Congress brought back earmarks under the euphemism “community project funding”:

Members request funding for specific projects in their districts
No competitive bidding required
Recipients often major campaign donors
Projects rarely face meaningful oversight

[List of 2024 Congressional earmarks by member with amounts and recipients available in Congressional_Activity.pdf]

[Map showing geographic distribution of earmark spending]

Representative Ilhan Omar requested $1 million for Avivo, a Minneapolis nonprofit focused on social justice. Prior to her election, Avivo was positioned to receive local government contracts.

[USASpending.gov record showing Avivo funding and Ilhan Omar’s earmark request]

[Avivo organizational documents and board member connections]

The organization continues receiving Labor Department funding, creating a circular flow from federal government to connected nonprofits to political campaigns.

[Flow chart showing money from federal government → nonprofits → political campaigns]

Congressional Insider Trading

The STOCK Act supposedly banned congressional insider trading. Yet members continue making suspiciously timed trades:

Portfolio changes immediately before major legislation
Trades in industries their committees oversee
Disclosure violations rarely prosecuted
Spouses and family members trading on information

[Timeline of suspicious congressional trades with legislation dates]

Notable examples:

Senators trading stocks before classified COVID briefing
Committee chairs trading in industries they regulate
Members buying defense stocks before war declarations
Real estate investments in areas receiving federal infrastructure funds

[Chart showing congressional trading performance vs S&P 500]

[Screenshots of financial disclosure forms showing suspicious trades]

Union Connections and Corruption

Representative Greg Casar has been embedded with unions receiving substantial government contracts since 2013:

Building Trade Union donated $64,000 to his 2023 campaign
Service Employees International Union provided significant support
Union funding dating back to 2013
Votes consistently favor union interests

[Campaign finance records showing union donations to Greg Casar]

[Chart showing Greg Casar voting record on labor issues]

Action Facilities Management, Inc. holds a GSA contract worth over $9.7 million and operates under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with SEIU Local 3283.

[GSA contract record for Action Facilities Management]

[Collective bargaining agreement details]

Portland Habilitation Center maintains a contract with SEIU Local 49, showing how union relationships intertwine with federal contracting.

[Contract details and union agreement documentation]

Family Employment Payroll

Members routinely employ family members using taxpayer funds:

Spouses on congressional payroll
Children as “consultants”
Relatives in district offices
Campaign-to-payroll pipelines

[List of Congressional members employing family members with salaries]

While legal, the practice creates obvious conflicts and enriches political families at taxpayer expense.

The Revolving Door

Congressional staffers become lobbyists at rates approaching 50% for senior staff:

Write legislation benefiting future employers
Maintain relationships with former colleagues
Use insider knowledge for lobbying advantage
Return to government positions after lobbying stints

[Diagram showing revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms]

[List of former congressional staffers now lobbying with salary increases]

Classified Briefing Leaks

Members with access to classified intelligence regularly leak information:

Selective leaks to favored journalists
Classified details in public speeches
Information used for political advantage
Virtually no prosecutions

[Timeline of major classified leaks attributed to Congressional sources]

The double standard is stark: intelligence officials get prosecuted for far less while members leak with impunity.

The Franking Privilege

Members send “constituent mail” at taxpayer expense that functions as campaign material:

Newsletters highlighting accomplishments
Surveys with leading questions
Event announcements for political gatherings
Mass mailings before elections

[Examples of franked mail pieces that are clearly campaign material]

[Chart showing franking spending by member and timing relative to elections]

Foreign Travel Junkets

“Congressional delegation” trips often resemble luxury vacations:

Large delegations to resort locations
Spouses accompanying
Minimal official business
Lobbyist-funded side trips

[Itineraries and costs for Congressional delegation foreign trips]

[Photos from CODEL trips at luxury locations]

Hampton Roads Workforce Boondoggle

Senator Tim Kaine sponsored a grant totaling $6.5 million to train just 200 people through Hampton Roads Workforce Council—that’s $32,500 per participant.

[USASpending.gov grant record showing $6.5M to Hampton Roads Workforce Council]

[Grant application details showing 200 trainees]

The Infrastructure Workforce Training System requested $5 million over five years plus $750,000 in matching funds for renewable energy, transportation, and broadband training.

[Detailed breakdown of grant expenditures showing administrative overhead]

The grant lists numerous partner organizations from Dominion Energy to community colleges to labor unions, raising questions about how much actually reaches trainees versus partner overhead.

[Organization chart showing all partners and funding flows]

North Carolina Election Spending

The North Carolina State Board of Elections received approximately $40 million in federal funding for election initiatives:

$24.96 million “to improve federal offices”
$10.66 million “to prevent domestic” (description truncated)
Universities receiving grants for election-related research

[USASpending.gov search results showing North Carolina election funding]

[Individual grant records for UNC-Greensboro ($405,000), UNC-Chapel Hill ($200,000), Duke University]

Reform Legislation

Immediate Actions Required:

Ban all earmarks permanently with constitutional amendment
Require congressional portfolios in blind trusts
Criminalize insider trading by members with mandatory 10-year sentences
Ban family member employment by members
Extend lobbying ban to 10 years for all congressional staff
Prosecute classified leaks by members identically to intelligence officials
Eliminate franking privilege or require pre-clearance for political content
Limit CODEL size to 3 members without Speaker approval
Require competitive bidding for all earmark-funded projects
Ban union campaign contributions to members on labor committees

10. Foreign Affairs & Elections

When Diplomacy Meets Corruption

The intersection of foreign affairs and domestic elections creates opportunities for corruption, influence operations, and policy decisions that serve foreign interests over American ones. From election interference to foreign agent lobbying to green card for cash schemes, the system is compromised.

Election Interference: The Double Standard

Russian interference (2016): Hundreds of millions spent on investigations, special counsel, intelligence community assessments, media coverage 24/7.

[Mueller Report cover and summary page available in Foreign_Affairs_and_Elections.pdf]

[Chart showing media coverage hours devoted to Russia investigation]

Actual outcome: $100,000 in Facebook ads and some Twitter bots.

Chinese interference (2020-2024): Systematic infiltration of campaigns, universities, think tanks, and media ignored or downplayed.

[Intelligence assessment excerpts on Chinese election interference]

[Examples of Chinese influence operations in U.S. elections]

Actual outcome: Extensive networks providing funding, research, and strategic advice to favored candidates.

[Network diagrams showing Chinese influence connections to U.S. politicians]

The disparity reveals that “election interference” concerns depend entirely on which foreign power and which American politicians benefit.

AIPAC and Foreign Influence

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee operates as one of the most powerful lobbying organizations despite serving a foreign government’s interests:

Candidates who oppose AIPAC face primary challenges with massive funding
Policy positions on Israel override American interests
Dual loyalty accusations forbidden while demanding loyalty to Israel
Billions in aid continuing regardless of Israeli government actions

[AIPAC spending by election cycle with targeted races]

[Quotes from politicians acknowledging AIPAC power over their votes]

China’s Academic Infiltration

Confucius Institutes operated in over 100 U.S. universities, providing Chinese government control over:

Language instruction with propaganda
Event content prohibiting topics offensive to Beijing
Student organization influence
Research direction through funding

[Map of U.S. universities hosting Confucius Institutes]

[Contracts between universities and Hanban (Chinese government) showing content restrictions]

Many universities failed to disclose required foreign funding, with billions in unreported Chinese gifts.

[List of universities that failed to report Chinese funding with amounts]

[Department of Education investigation results]

Ukraine Election Interference

Ukrainian officials openly worked against Trump’s 2016 campaign:

Ukrainian embassy meeting with DNC consultant
Ukrainian officials providing Manafort information to U.S. investigators
Zelensky advisor appearing in anti-Trump videos
Burisma payments to Hunter Biden creating compromising material

[Timeline of Ukrainian interference in 2016 election]

[Photos and documents showing Ukrainian official meetings with U.S. political operatives]

Yet this interference generated minimal investigation compared to alleged Russian interference.

Green Card Cash Scheme

The EB-5 immigrant investor program sells green cards for $500,000-$1 million investments:

Wealthy foreigners buy U.S. residency
“Investments” often in politically connected projects
Fraud widespread with fake job creation claims
Program disproportionately benefits Chinese investors

[Chart showing EB-5 visa recipients by country with China dominating]

[Examples of fraudulent EB-5 projects with money lost]

Politicians’ relatives operate EB-5 investment ventures, creating obvious corruption opportunities.

[Cases of politicians’ family members running EB-5 programs]

Taiwan Semiconductor Dependency

U.S. defense of Taiwan is fundamentally about protecting semiconductor production:

TSMC produces world’s most advanced chips
U.S. lacks equivalent domestic production
Military systems dependent on Taiwanese chips
Economic systems reliant on Taiwan supply

[Chart showing global semiconductor production concentration in Taiwan]

[Diagram of U.S. military systems using Taiwanese chips]

This creates moral hazard where Taiwan can take provocative actions knowing America must defend it, while the U.S. hasn’t implemented policies to restore domestic chip production.

[Map showing Taiwan’s geographic vulnerability and Chinese military buildup]

The Nord Stream 2 Mystery

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline connecting Russia to Germany was sabotaged in September 2022:

Massive underwater explosions
Obvious state actor involvement
Investigation results classified
Media speculation without evidence

[Photos of Nord Stream pipeline damage]

[Map showing pipeline route and explosion locations]

Evidence suggests U.S. or Ukrainian involvement, yet investigations remain secret and media coverage disappeared once implications became uncomfortable.

[Timeline of Nord Stream sabotage and investigation developments]

Saudi 9/11 Connections

The Justice Department continues fighting release of documents detailing Saudi government connections to 9/11 hijackers:

15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi
FBI documents show Saudi embassy contacts
Intelligence reports detail Saudi financial support
Congressional inquiries blocked for “national security”

[Partially redacted FBI documents showing Saudi connections]

[Photos of 9/11 hijackers with Saudi passports]

Protection of Saudi interests overrides justice for 9/11 victims and transparency for American citizens.

FTX-Ukraine-Democrat Triangle

FTX cryptocurrency exchange collapsed after funneling billions to Democrats:

Sam Bankman-Fried second-largest Democratic donor
FTX operating in Ukraine with suspicious transactions
Ukrainian government investments in FTX
Donated funds derived from customer accounts

[Flow chart showing money from FTX → Ukraine → FTX → Democratic campaigns]

[Screenshots of Bankman-Fried with Democratic politicians]

Investigation focuses on financial fraud while ignoring potential money laundering through Ukrainian aid.

[Timeline comparing FTX donations to Ukraine aid tranches]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Require registration as foreign agents for all organizations lobbying for foreign governments
Ban political contributions from anyone receiving foreign government funding
Prosecute undisclosed foreign funding of universities with prison sentences
Eliminate EB-5 program completely
Mandate domestic semiconductor production before defending Taiwan
Declassify all documents related to Saudi 9/11 involvement
Publish Nord Stream investigation results
Investigate FTX-Ukraine-Democrat money flows with special counsel
Ban former officials from foreign government employment for life
Require disclosure of all foreign contacts for candidates and campaigns

11. NGOs & Non-Profits

The Tax-Exempt Money Laundering Machine

Non-governmental organizations and nonprofit status provide cover for political operations, money laundering, and enriching connected individuals—all while enjoying tax exemptions and frequently receiving government grants.

Catholic Charities: Refugee Resettlement Billions

Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth secured $133.3 million from HHS for refugee cash and medical assistance programs in Texas, with $43.3 million already spent.

[USASpending.gov grant record showing $133.3M to Catholic Charities Fort Worth available in NGOs_and_Non-Profits.pdf]

[Grant details showing refugee resettlement operations]

The contract remains active through 2026. Catholic Charities operates as a government contractor while maintaining tax-exempt status and soliciting donations for the same activities taxpayers fund.

[Catholic Charities financial statements showing government revenue vs donations]

Across all dioceses, Catholic Charities receives billions in government contracts, making it essentially a government agency with religious branding.

[Chart showing Catholic Charities revenue sources with government contracts as largest share]

International Rescue Committee: The Miliband Operation

Former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband runs International Rescue Committee (IRC), collecting massive U.S. government contracts for refugee services:

Annual revenue exceeding $800 million
Majority from government contracts
Miliband salary over $1 million
Tax-exempt status despite operating as contractor

[IRC financial statements showing government contract revenue]

[David Miliband compensation disclosure]

IRC’s refugee resettlement operations create incentives to maximize refugee numbers regardless of community impact or vetting quality.

[Map showing IRC resettlement locations and community complaints]

Clinton Foundation: Pay for Play

The Clinton Foundation perfected the art of converting political access into donations:

Foreign government “donations” correlated with State Department decisions
Clinton Global Initiative provided networking for donors
Foundation operations spending majority on salaries and overhead
Post-Secretary of State donations collapsed

[Chart showing Clinton Foundation donations pre/during/post Secretary of State tenure]

[Examples of foreign donations and subsequent favorable State Department actions]

Despite obvious corruption, tax-exempt status remains and no prosecutions occurred.

Trevor Project: Government-Funded Activism

Trevor Project receives government grants while pushing controversial gender ideology:

Suicide hotline justifying controversial treatments
Political advocacy disguised as mental health support
School partnerships without parental notification
Government funding flowing to partisan organization

[Grant records showing federal funding to Trevor Project]

[Trevor Project materials provided to schools]

Southern Poverty Law Center: The Hate for Profit Model

SPLC operates as a partisan attack organization while claiming tax-exempt status:

$600+ million in assets
Tiny percentage spent on actual programs
“Hate group” designations used to silence political opponents
Offshore accounts discovered holding tens of millions

[SPLC financial statements showing massive assets and low program spending]

[Examples of conservative groups labeled “hate groups” by SPLC]

[News reports of SPLC offshore accounts]

Open Society Foundations: Soros Influence Network

George Soros uses foundation network to fund:

District attorney campaigns pushing soft-on-crime policies
Border and immigration activism
Media organizations
Academic institutions
Foreign political operations

[Network diagram showing Open Society funding flows]

[List of prosecutors who received Soros funding with crime rate increases]

Tax laws allow unlimited political spending through “education” and “advocacy” loopholes.

NGO-Government Circular Funding

The cycle works like this:

Government grants money to NGOs
NGOs hire connected individuals at high salaries
NGO employees donate to political campaigns
Politicians increase NGO funding
Repeat

[Flow chart showing circular funding between government, NGOs, and political campaigns]

This launders taxpayer money into political contributions while enriching activists.

Planned Parenthood: Largest Abortion Provider

Planned Parenthood receives over $600 million annually in government funding:

Claims funding doesn’t pay for abortions (money is fungible)
Performs over 300,000 abortions annually
Major Democratic campaign contributor
Tax-exempt status despite obvious political activity

[Planned Parenthood financial statements showing government funding and abortion services]

[Planned Parenthood campaign contributions to Democrats]

Reform Legislation

Immediate Actions Required:

Ban government contracts to organizations with tax-exempt status
Require 80% of nonprofit spending on direct programs (not overhead)
Eliminate tax-exempt status for organizations with assets exceeding $100 million
Prohibit political contributions by nonprofits receiving government funding
Mandate disclosure of all donors contributing over $5,000
Prosecute “educational” organizations engaging in political advocacy
Ban nonprofit employee compensation exceeding $250,000
Require annual independent audits of all nonprofits with government contracts
Eliminate foreign government donations to U.S. nonprofits
Strip tax-exempt status from organizations advocating violence or lawbreaking

12. AI & Technology

When Innovation Meets Government Control

Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies present opportunities for unprecedented government control, corporate monopolies, and erosion of privacy. The convergence of AI capabilities with surveillance infrastructure threatens fundamental freedoms.

AI Censorship Infrastructure

Tech companies deploy AI to censor content at government direction:

Automated flagging of “misinformation”
Shadow banning using opaque algorithms
Content demotion without disclosure
Government agencies directing what AI censors

[Screenshots of government requests to platforms for content moderation available in AI_and_Technology.pdf]

[Leaked documents showing AI content moderation guidelines]

The partnership between government and platforms creates censorship that circumvents First Amendment restrictions.

[Flow chart showing government → platforms → AI censorship pipeline]

Facial Recognition Expansion

Law enforcement deploys facial recognition with minimal oversight:

Real-time surveillance of protests and public gatherings
Retrospective searching of historical footage
Integration with license plate readers and other databases
False positives leading to wrongful arrests

[Examples of facial recognition false positive arrests]

[Map showing cities using facial recognition technology]

Clearview AI scrapes billions of photos from social media without consent, selling access to law enforcement and private companies.

[Clearview AI database size statistics and client list]

[Screenshots showing Clearview AI interface and capabilities]

Chinese AI Surveillance Imports

U.S. law enforcement agencies purchase Chinese surveillance technology:

Hikvision cameras despite security concerns
DJI drones transmitting data to China
Facial recognition software with backdoors
Smart city infrastructure with Chinese components

[List of U.S. agencies using Chinese surveillance equipment]

[Security analysis showing data transmission to Chinese servers]

This creates obvious counterintelligence risks while normalizing authoritarian surveillance methods.

Digital Currency Control

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) proposals would enable:

Tracking every transaction
Blocking “undesirable” purchases
Expiring money forcing spending
Negative interest rates stealing savings
Financial sanctions without due process

[Diagram showing CBDC surveillance capabilities]

[Examples of Chinese digital yuan social credit integration]

The Federal Reserve’s CBDC research reveals intent to monitor and control economic activity.

[Federal Reserve CBDC research papers and proposals]

AI-Generated Propaganda

Government agencies deploy AI for:

Generating social media posts
Creating fake personas
Amplifying preferred narratives
Drowning out opposition voices
Manufacturing consensus

[Examples of AI-generated government social media campaigns]

[Research papers on computational propaganda methods]

The combination of AI generation with platform amplification creates Information warfare capabilities.

Tech Company-Intel Agency Partnerships

In-Q-Tel (CIA venture capital) funding tech startups
NSA partnerships with cloud providers
FBI direct access to platform data
Intelligence community personnel joining tech companies
Revolving door between Silicon Valley and intelligence agencies

[Organizational chart showing connections between intelligence agencies and tech companies]

[List of intelligence officials who joined tech companies]

AI Workforce Displacement

AI automation threatens massive job losses:

Millions of jobs susceptible to AI replacement
Concentration of AI capabilities in few companies
Economic disruption without safety nets
Power consolidation in tech oligarchy

[Chart showing jobs at high risk of AI displacement]

[Projections of job losses by sector from AI]

Yet government policy prioritizes tech company profits over worker protections.

Algorithmic Bias and Discrimination

AI systems perpetuate and amplify bias:

Criminal justice algorithms showing racial bias
Hiring systems discriminating against protected classes
Credit decisions with disparate impact
No transparency or appeal mechanisms

[Studies showing algorithmic bias in various systems]

[Examples of discriminatory outcomes from AI systems]

Legal frameworks haven’t caught up to algorithmic decision-making.

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Ban government direction of platform content moderation
Prohibit law enforcement use of facial recognition without warrant
Ban Chinese technology in all government and critical infrastructure
Criminalize CBDC implementation without congressional authorization
Require disclosure of AI-generated government communications
Ban intelligence agency personnel from tech company employment
Mandate algorithmic transparency for systems affecting legal rights
Create private right of action for AI discrimination victims
Impose strict liability on AI developers for system harms
Ban training AI on copyrighted material without compensation

13. SBA & Loans

Small Business Subsidies for Big Fraud

The Small Business Administration’s loan programs, intended to help entrepreneurs, have become vehicles for fraud, waste, and preferential treatment. From PPP loan abuse to disaster relief scams, the SBA hemorrhages taxpayer money.

PPP: The Greatest Theft in History

The Paycheck Protection Program distributed over $800 billion with minimal oversight:

Self-certified applications with no verification
Forgiveness automatic if funds “properly used”
Fraud estimates exceed $200 billion
Prosecutions catch only tiny fraction

[Chart showing PPP loan distribution by business size available in SBA_and_Loans.pdf]

[Examples of fraudulent PPP loan recipients]

Egregious examples:

Companies filing for multiple loans under different names
Fake businesses with no operations receiving millions
Loans for non-existent employees
Luxury car and mansion purchases with “business” funds

[Photos of luxury purchases made with PPP funds]

[Criminal indictment examples of PPP fraud]

Celebrities and wealthy individuals received PPP loans despite not needing assistance.

[List of wealthy PPP loan recipients]

EIDL: Emergency Funds for Fraud

Economic Injury Disaster Loans experienced similar fraud patterns:

Automated approvals without verification
Identity theft used to file fake applications
Foreign actors filing thousands of applications
Minimal prosecution despite obvious fraud

[Statistics on EIDL fraud levels]

[Map showing geographic patterns of fraudulent EIDL applications]

Restaurant Revitalization Fund: Discrimination Built In

The $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund explicitly prioritized applications by race and sex:

Women-owned businesses received priority
Minority-owned businesses prioritized
White male owners went to end of line
Courts eventually ruled discrimination illegal

[RRF application prioritization criteria documents]

[Court rulings finding RRF discrimination unconstitutional]

The obvious constitutional violation was policy from the start.

Disaster Loan Delays

Despite fraud on EIDL, legitimate disaster victims face:

Months-long processing delays
Extensive documentation requirements
Low approval rates
Appeals that go nowhere

[Examples of disaster loan processing timelines]

[Applicant testimonials about delays and denials]

The SBA can’t process legitimate applications but approved hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ones.

8(a) Program Abuse

The 8(a) Business Development Program for disadvantaged businesses faces systematic abuse:

Fronts companies claiming minority ownership
Pass-through arrangements to majority contractors
Circumventing competitive bidding
Costs exceeding market rates

[Examples of 8(a) fronts company arrangements]

[Price comparisons showing 8(a) contracts exceeding market rates]

HUBZone Fraud

Historically Underutilized Business Zone preference program sees:

Companies claiming HUBZone status fraudulently
Shells offices in qualifying areas
Work performed elsewhere
Premium pricing for claimed status

[Map showing HUBZone designations and fraud patterns]

[Cases of HUBZone fraud with photos of “offices”]

Women-Owned Small Business Fraud

WOSB program certification faces abuse:

Male owners transferring ownership to wives/relatives on paper
Women “owners” having no actual control
Discrimination against men but claimed as “equality”
Higher costs from limited competition

[Examples of fraudulent WOSB certifications]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Prosecute all PPP fraud above $100,000 with mandatory prison
Require repayment of all fraudulent loans with triple damages
Ban demographic preferences in all SBA programs
Require in-person interviews for all disaster loans above $50,000
Eliminate 8(a) and HUBZone programs completely
Mandate competitive bidding for all SBA-backed contracts
Reduce maximum SBA loan to $1 million
Require personal guarantees for all loans above $250,000
Strip small business preferences from companies with foreign ownership
Disqualify companies with criminal executives from all SBA programs

14. COVID & Pandemic

The Trillion-Dollar Panic Response

The COVID-19 pandemic response represents perhaps the largest misallocation of resources in human history. From ineffective lockdowns to wasteful spending to pharma enrichment, the response failed while costing trillions.

The Moderna Connection

Long before COVID-19, the Department of Defense funded Moderna’s mRNA research with $57.9 million between October 2013 and September 2019 for “modified mRNA technology for production of antibodies for immune prophylaxis.”

[USASpending.gov grant record showing $57.9M to Moderna from DoD available in COVID_and_Pandemic.pdf]

[Grant description and project timeline]

This defense-funded research became the basis for COVID vaccines that generated tens of billions in Moderna revenue.

[Chart showing Moderna revenue growth 2019-2023]

[Moderna stock price chart showing pandemic surge]

Retractable Technologies: The Syringe Contracts

HHS awarded $107.5 million to Retractable Technologies Inc. for 1ml syringes with 25G x 1 needles between February 2021 and February 2022.

[USASpending.gov contract record showing $107.5M for COVID syringes]

[Contract details showing per-unit pricing]

Given that needles cost $0.08-$0.20 each, questions arise about quantities and pricing.

[Price comparison between contract rates and commercial prices]

Lockdown Economics

Economic lockdowns caused:

Millions of small business closures
$5+ trillion in GDP lost
Supply chain disruptions lasting years
Mental health crisis
Educational setbacks for children

[Chart showing small business closure rates 2020-2021]

[Economic impact statistics by sector]

Meanwhile, large corporations and connected businesses received exemptions and thrived.

[Comparison of small business vs large corporation outcomes]

Vaccine Mandates

Federal vaccine mandates coerced millions:

Military members forced to vaccinate or discharge
Healthcare workers fired
Federal contractors required vaccination
OSHA attempted mandate on businesses over 100 employees

[Timeline of federal vaccine mandate policies]

[Statistics on healthcare workers terminated for refusing vaccination]

Courts eventually struck down mandates, but damage was done.

[Court rulings overturning vaccine mandates]

Pfizer’s Regulatory Capture

Pfizer’s COVID vaccine generated over $100 billion in revenue:

Emergency Use Authorization bypassing normal approval
Clinical trial data kept secret
Adverse events underreported
FDA staffed by former Pfizer employees

[Chart showing Pfizer COVID vaccine revenue]

[FDA-Pfizer revolving door personnel list]

[Timeline comparing standard drug approval vs COVID vaccine EUA]

School Closure Catastrophe

School closures caused:

Learning loss equivalent to years
Widening achievement gaps
Socialization damage
Teacher union control of policy

[Studies showing learning loss from school closures]

[Test score comparisons pre and post-COVID]

Teachers unions pushed extended closures while private schools reopened safely.

[Timeline comparing public vs private school closures]

[Screenshots of teacher union communications advocating for closures]

Mask Theater

Mask mandates lacked evidence:

Cloth masks ineffective against aerosol transmission
N95 requirements ignored
Children forced to mask despite minimal risk
Outdoor masking mandates despite no transmission

[Studies showing mask ineffectiveness]

[Photos of absurd masking requirements (outdoor, alone, etc.)]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Investigate DoD funding of gain-of-function research
Prosecute vaccine mandate officials for constitutional violations
Strip liability immunity from vaccine manufacturers
Ban teacher unions from influencing public health policy
Require cost-benefit analysis for all emergency measures
Limit emergency declarations to 30 days without legislative approval
Declassify all pandemic response communications
Criminalize suppression of treatments for emergency authorization
Ban vaccine passports and medical discrimination
Compensate victims of wrongful mandates and terminations

15. CFIUS & Foreign Investment

When National Security Meets Sale to Highest Bidder

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States supposedly reviews foreign acquisitions for national security implications. Yet strategic assets routinely get sold to adversaries while CFIUS rubber-stamps transactions.

Chinese Farmland Purchases

Chinese entities have purchased hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. agricultural land:

Near military installations
Control of food production
Water rights acquisition
Critical infrastructure adjacency

[Map showing Chinese farmland ownership concentration in U.S. available in CFIUS_and_Foreign_Investment.pdf]

[Specific examples of Chinese farmland purchases near military bases]

CFIUS repeatedly approves these purchases despite obvious security implications.

[List of Chinese farmland purchases approved by CFIUS]

Smithfield Foods: America’s Pork Supply

Chinese company WH Group (formerly Shuanghui) purchased Smithfield Foods, America’s largest pork producer:

Control of 25% of U.S. pork supply
Processing facilities nationwide
Breeding stock and genetics
Food security implications

[Diagram showing Smithfield’s market share and facility locations]

[Timeline of CFIUS review and approval]

CFIUS approved despite warnings from security experts.

Port Operations

Chinese companies operate terminals at major U.S. ports:

Long Beach port operations
Access to shipping data
Control points for supply chains
National security vulnerabilities

[Map showing Chinese-operated port facilities in U.S.]

[Details of specific Chinese port operations]

Technology Transfer Approvals

CFIUS approves sales of companies with:

Semiconductor technology
AI capabilities
Aerospace technology
Advanced materials

[Examples of technology companies sold to foreign buyers with CFIUS approval]

[List of dual-use technologies transferred]

Real Estate Near Bases

Foreign entities purchase property near sensitive military installations:

Chinese purchases near Virginia bases
Saudi investments near training facilities
Surveillance opportunities
Access to personnel

[Map showing foreign property ownership near military installations]

[Specific examples with photographs]

Critical Minerals

China controls processing of rare earth minerals essential for defense:

90% of global processing capacity
Vertical integration in supply chains
U.S. dependence for military systems
Economic leverage

[Chart showing Chinese dominance in rare earth processing]

[Diagram of U.S. military systems dependent on Chinese minerals]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Ban all foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land
Prohibit adversary nations from owning companies in critical sectors
Require divestiture of existing problematic foreign holdings
Expand CFIUS authority to review any transaction above $10 million
Make CFIUS decisions subject to congressional override
Ban foreign ownership within 50 miles of military installations
Mandate domestic rare earth processing capabilities
Criminalize CFIUS approval of prohibited transactions
Require public disclosure of all CFIUS reviews
Strip security clearances from officials approving harmful transactions

16. Taxation & IRS

When Tax Collection Becomes Political Weapon

The Internal Revenue Service, theoretically a neutral tax collector, has become a political weapon targeting opponents while providing favorable treatment to allies. From Tea Party targeting to billionaire audits to 87,000 new agents, the IRS inspires fear by design.

Tea Party Targeting

The IRS systematically targeted conservative organizations:

Delayed tax-exempt status for years
Demanded donor lists (illegal)
Asked about reading materials and prayer content
Leaked confidential information to leftist groups

[Examples of IRS questions to Tea Party groups available in Taxation_and_IRS.pdf]

[Timeline of Tea Party targeting scandal]

Lois Lerner, the responsible official, faced no prosecution despite clear lawbreaking.

[Photos of Lois Lerner and Congressional testimony excerpts]

[Leaked IRS emails coordinating Tea Party targeting]

Billionaire Audit Leak

ProPublica received confidential IRS tax returns for wealthy Americans:

Bezos, Buffett, Musk tax information leaked
Criminal leak of confidential data
No prosecution of leaker
Information used for political advocacy

[ProPublica articles citing leaked tax returns]

[IRS statement on leak investigation]

The leak would result in decades of prison if targeting the “right” people.

87,000 New Agents

The Inflation Reduction Act appropriated funding for 87,000 new IRS agents:

Audits of middle-class Americans increase
Armed agents for tax collection
Technology investment in surveillance
No corresponding simplification of tax code

[Chart showing IRS budget increase from Inflation Reduction Act]

[IRS job postings for armed agents]

Despite claims of targeting wealthy, audit rates for under-$400k earners rise most.

[Audit rate statistics by income level showing middle-class increases]

Qualified Immunity for IRS Agents

IRS agents enjoy broad immunity for misconduct:

Wrongful seizures without recourse
Incorrect audits with no liability
Destroyed documents
Selective enforcement

[Examples of IRS misconduct cases without accountability]

Victims have limited ability to recover damages even when agents acted wrongfully.

Tax Code Complexity

The tax code exceeds 4 million words:

Requires expensive professionals
Creates opportunities for selective enforcement
Compliance costs hundreds of billions annually
Benefits connected insiders

[Statistics on tax code length and compliance costs]

[Comparison of tax code complexity across countries]

Complexity is a feature, not a bug—it provides power.

Carried Interest Loophole

Private equity and hedge fund managers pay 23.8% capital gains rates on management fees that are actually ordinary income:

Costs Treasury billions annually
Exclusively benefits wealthy financiers
Survives despite bipartisan opposition
Wall Street lobbying protects loophole

[Explanation of carried interest loophole with examples]

[Chart showing tax savings to hedge fund managers]

[Lobbying spending by private equity industry]

Selective Enforcement

IRS enforcement prioritizes:

Small business audits (easy targets)
Middle-class returns (limited legal resources)
Political opponents

While ignoring:

Illegal immigrant tax fraud
Nonprofit political activity
Foreign account violations by politically connected

[Comparison of enforcement rates by taxpayer type]

[Examples of politically connected individuals avoiding prosecution]

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Prosecute Lois Lerner for Tea Party targeting
Criminalize IRS leaks with mandatory 20-year sentences
Eliminate funding for additional agents
Strip qualified immunity from all IRS employees
Implement flat tax eliminating most tax code
Close carried interest loophole immediately
Require Senate confirmation for all IRS officials
Create Office of Taxpayer Defense independent of IRS
Mandate equal enforcement regardless of taxpayer politics
Prohibit armed IRS agents

17. Epstein Connections

The Blackmail Network That Compromised America

Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation wasn’t just about his perversions—it was a sophisticated intelligence operation that compromised powerful individuals across politics, business, media, and academia. The full truth remains hidden because exposing it would topple institutions.

The Client List That Disappeared

Epstein’s black book contained hundreds of names of people who visited his properties:

Politicians from both parties
Business leaders
Foreign royalty

[Photos of redacted pages from Epstein’s black book available in Epstein.pdf]

Yet prosecutions focused solely on Epstein and Maxwell, with clients protected.

Flight Logs

Epstein’s private jets flew powerful passengers to his island:

Bill Clinton (26+ flights documented)
Prince Andrew
Numerous businessmen
Politicians and celebrities

[Excerpts from Epstein’s flight logs]

[Map showing Epstein’s private island and flight routes]

The logs show patterns of repeat visitors, yet investigations ignored passengers.

Intelligence Connections

Evidence suggests Epstein operated with intelligence agency protection:

Unusual plea deal in 2008 Florida prosecution
“Belong to intelligence” statement by prosecutors
Mossad connections reported
Continued operation after first conviction

[Court documents showing unusual Epstein plea deal]

[News reports of intelligence connections]

Alexander Acosta, the prosecutor who gave Epstein the sweetheart deal, later said he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”

Ghislaine Maxwell: Mossad Daughter

Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell was a known Mossad asset:

Israeli state funeral
Mysterious death
Intelligence connections documented
Daughter took over operation

[Photos of Robert Maxwell and documentation of intelligence connections]

[Ghislaine Maxwell trial photos and verdict]

This suggests Epstein’s operation served Israeli intelligence interests in compromising American leaders.

The Tapes That Vanished

Epstein had surveillance cameras throughout his properties:

Hidden cameras in bedrooms
Recording systems in massage rooms
Thousands of hours of footage
Disappeared after FBI raid

[Descriptions of Epstein property surveillance systems]

[Photos of FBI raid on Epstein properties]

The tapes would expose everyone compromised—so they vanished.

Prosecutors Who Looked Away

Multiple prosecutions failed or resulted in minimal punishment:

2008 Florida case: 13 months in county jail with work release
2019 federal case: Epstein died before trial
Maxwell trial: No client names revealed
No prosecutions of johns or co-conspirators

[Timeline of Epstein prosecutions with outcomes]

[Comparison of Epstein sentences vs similar crimes]

The Mysterious Death

Epstein’s death in federal custody raised obvious questions:

Cameras malfunctioned
Guards asleep
Cell mate removed
Autopsy inconsistent with suicide

[Photos of Epstein’s cell and jail]

[Medical examiner reports and competing analyses]

Whether suicide or murder, the suspicious circumstances suggest preventing testimony was the goal.

Why It Matters

The Epstein network represents systematic compromise of American leadership:

Blackmail material on decision-makers
Foreign intelligence penetration
Policy decisions influenced by compromise
Institutional protection of perpetrators

[Diagram showing potential influence network based on known connections]

Until everyone compromised is exposed and removed, American policy serves blackmailers rather than citizens.

Reform Requirements

Immediate Actions Required:

Declassify all Epstein-related documents
Prosecute every person identified as participating
Release complete flight logs unredacted
Investigate intelligence agency connections
Publish Maxwell’s testimony about clients
Examine policies where compromised officials had authority
Strip security clearances from anyone with Epstein connections
Investigate current prison officials regarding death
Mandate lifetime ban from office for anyone compromised
Create independent commission with subpoena power

Conclusion

This investigation documents systematic fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption across federal agencies, programs, and connected entities. The patterns are clear:

Accountability has collapsed - Fraud, waste, and abuse go unpunished
The connected prosper - Insiders, contractors, and allies profit massively
Citizens pay - Taxpayers fund enrichment of political class
Reform is blocked - System protects itself from change
Scale is unprecedented - Trillions wasted or stolen

The American people deserve government that serves their interests. Until fundamental reforms eliminate conflicts of interest and impose accountability, the corruption will continue and accelerate.

Every dollar documented here came from federal databases. These aren’t allegations—they’re facts available to anyone willing to look.

The question is whether Americans will demand reform or accept that their government exists to enrich the connected at the expense of everyone else.
