Biden administration sanctions terror group Hezbollah's international financing network

Sanctions target 10 companies and three individuals that participated in actions to evade primary sanctions on Hezbollah

The Biden administration issued sanctions Friday against an international financial network tied to Hezbollah, the Lebanese-based political-militant group also designated as a terrorist organization.

The sanctions target 10 companies and three individuals that participated in actions to evade primary sanctions on Hezbollah and used the international financial system to raise funds for the group, the administration said, according to The Hill.

"These financial facilitators have helped Hizballah obtain funds through networks of companies that disguise themselves as legitimate businesses," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. "The sanctions evasion efforts of those designated today are a stark example of how Hizballah abuses the international financial system to fund its acts of terrorism and illicit activities."

The individuals sanctioned include such Hezbollah members in Lebanon as Adnan Ayad, who is said to be the operator of an international network of companies, and his son, Jihad Adnan Ayad, who's associated with his father's businesses.

Ali Adel Diab was also sanctioned by the Treasury Department. He's the son of Adel Diab, another sanctioned Hezbollah member who is the director and partner of Hamer and Nail Construction, a Zambia-based company, which is also sanctioned by the U.S. for providing material or financial support for sanctioned individuals.

Another company in Zambia was also sanctioned, in addition to one in Germany and eight in Lebanon.

"Today's action exposes and targets Hizballah's misuse of the international financial system to raise and launder funds for its destabilizing activities as the Lebanese people suffer during an unprecedented economic crisis in Lebanon," said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson.

The sanctions are in addition to those announced earlier this week by the Treasury Department against a Lebanese tourism company and three Lebanese businessmen for their financial support of Hezbollah.

IS THIS CONSTITUTIONAL? Jan 6 Committee Claims Absolute Power to Investigate Citizens with No Regard for Judicial Limits

On Wednesday, three men from Illinois were charged in connection with Jan. 6, after they were tracked down by investigators who found them by obtaining geolocation data from their phones through a likely-illegal subpoena.

The trio becomes the latest victims of the 1/6 witch hunt, joining the hundreds of other Americans who have been charged since the event.

Cody Vollan, Anthony Carollo, and Jeremiah Carollo, have been hit with four federal charges each, according to the criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia this week.

From NBC5 Chicago:

“They were charged with one count each of: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building, per the complaint.”

In short, they support Trump, were at the event on 1/6, went inside, hung out, and left – just like the vast majority of the other individuals who have been charged in connection with the event.

But, somehow, we’re still waiting on charges for Ray Epps and several other fed-connected provocateurs…

Federal authorities were able to locate the three men, two of which were brothers and the other their cousin, after Big Tech giant Google responded to a 1/6 commission subpoena and provided the trio’s geolocation data, which showed their mobile devices and connected Google accounts were likely located in and around the restricted area of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Tracking your geolocation through your Google account to hunt you down a full year later? Wow, what a freaking hellhole dystopian nightmare, right? But that ain’t even half of it – this is just more in the same as the DC Swamp steps up its political purge of those who dare to question the legitimacy of the current fraudulent regime.

In its rogue mission to persecute and gather information about private U.S. citizens, Nancy Pelosi’s sham 1/6 Committee has been freely acting with impunity while flouting several traditional civil liberties that are protected by the constitution.

Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes: Taking on Woke Big Tech the ‘Battle of All Battles’

Devin Nunes in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News previewed plans for the company he is heading, Trump Media and Technology Group, which aims to take on Big Tech and establishment media in what he called “the battle of all battles.”

He confirmed that the first product to launch will be a social media platform and that the company is looking to launch it by the end of March.

“Right now, we’re looking at by the end of the first quarter,” he said, but added, “We’re going to come out when it’s ready to come out.”

He said there is a talented team of committed patriots in place building the infrastructure from scratch so that it could not be shut down by any one company.

Contrary to some reporting from the mainstream news media, he said, “We have people from every corner of the United States and around the world that want to come work for us.”

“There are people that are essentially sick and tired of the Silicon Valley craziness and the left-wing crap going on,” he said.

He said the new platform will not be aimed at replacing Parler or GETTR as much as it will be aimed at replacing those run by “woke corporations” such as Twitter.

“There’s plenty of room out there for multiple platforms. But if you’re woke, you’re using algorithms and you’re poisoning not only the United States — but the world — because you have a dominant monopoly on the market, it’s wrong,” he said.

“We’re not going to use algorithms. We’re not going to steal your data. We’re simply going to allow you to post like it used to be back when a lot of these social media platforms were in their early stages. People just posted, they got to post to their friends and they weren’t being served up, you know, sewage,” he said.

Aaron Rodgers Blasts Joe Biden for Calling Covid ‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated,’ Mocks His Public Speaking

Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers recently blasted Joe Biden for claiming that the U.S. is suffering a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The future Hall of Famer also took a shot at the president’s public speaking.

In Sept., Biden insisted during remarks delivered from the White House, that, “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s caused by the fact that despite America having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months free vaccines have been available in 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot.”

Last month, Biden even personally addressed Rodgers in Kentucky when he exclaimed, “tell that quarterback he’s gotta get the vaccine.”

It appears that Rodgers is just as annoyed at Biden.

“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which, I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes,” Rodgers said during a visit with the Pat McAfee show, according to ESPN.

“But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which, how do you even trust them, but then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID deaths have at least four comorbidities. And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, that’s not helping the conversation,” Rodgers added.

According to the CDC, a study from December 2020 and October 2021 of 1.2 million fully vaccinated people, 189 people had severe reactions to COVID, and 36 died. Twenty-eight of those deaths were of people who had at least four of eight risk factors, which is about 78 percent, ESPN added.

Further, in a nation of 330 million people, the CDC claims that 209 million are “fully vaccinated.” And many of those left can’t be vaccinated for age and medical reasons.

FBI finally reveals that Brian Laundrie ADMITTED to murdering Gabbie Petito in notebook found three months ago near his remains

The notebook was found near Brian Laundrie's remains in a Florida swamp in October

Laundrie had been on the run since the beginning of September after strangling Gabby in Wyoming during their cross-country RV trip earlier this summer

In an announcement on Friday, the FBI said it was closing its investigation into Gabby's death after concluding that Laundrie did admit to it

The bureau did not say what specifically he wrote in to take responsibility

Brian Laundrie took responsibility for killing Gabby Petito in the notebook that was found near his remains more than a month after he went missing, the FBI has revealed.

The notebook was found next to his body in the Cartlon Reserve swamp near his parents home in North Port, Florida on October 20. He died of a single gunshot wound to the head, and along with the notebook, officers also found a backpack and a revolver. It's not clear when he died.

He had been on the run since September 13 after strangling Petito in Wyoming during their cross-country RV trip earlier this summer. His remains were found more than a month later after an extensive search of the swamp.

In an announcement on Friday, the FBI said it was closing its investigation into Petito's death after concluding that Laundrie did admit to it.

The bureau did not say what specifically he wrote in the notebook claiming responsibility for Petito's murder.

The FBI opened its investigation into Petito's disappearance after she was reported missing by her parents on September 12. At the time, she and Laundrie has been on a cross-country road trip in her white van.

A massive manhunt ensued, and Petito's remains were found on September 19 at the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming near where she and Laundrie had last been seen together - and three weeks after she had last spoken to her parents.

She died of blunt-force injuries to the head and neck and manual strangulation, according to the Teton County Coroner. She had been dead for three or four weeks before her body was discovered.

Trump tries to golf his problems away as 700 pages of his White House documents are given to Jan. 6 committee and draft emerges of his 2020 executive order to seize voting machines and install special counsel to probe 'systemic fraud'

Trump's lawyers sought to keep the document and other White House information out of the hands of the House January 6th committee

It would order the Defense Secretary to 'seize, collect, retain and analyze'

It would Defense Secretary 60 days to assess the election – continuing after Trump was to leave office

Politico also obtained draft undelivered 'Remarks on National Healing' after the Capitol riot

'My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power,' Trump was to say amid call for 'healing and reconciliation'

House committee probing riot gets more than 700 pages of Trump documents following Supreme Court ruling against Trump's executive privilege claims

A draft executive order never signed by former President Donald Trump from December 2020 would have ordered the Defense Department to seize voting machines 'effective immediately' and appoint a special counsel to oversee claims of election fraud being pushed by Trump allies.

The order, which was obtained by Politico, lists a wealth of conspiracy theories that circulated amid Trump's election overturn effort – including that voting machines by Dominion, Smartmatic and other voting machine and software firms had 'flaws' that were 'subject to foreign interference in the 2020 election.'

The Dec. 16th order has a line for Trump's signature at the bottom, and is prepared in Trump's voice.

Details of the order, which is the first major piece of evidence to surface since Congress obtained information from the Trump White House, emerged on a day that Trump golfed at his Mar-a-Lago course.

The House select committee probing the Capitol riot has already received more than 700 pages of documents following an 8-1 Supreme Court ruling against Trump and executive privilege claims put forward by his lawyers, NBC News reported.

Trump argued in lower courts that the documents could remain secret under executive privilege, which can ban Congress from seeing certain records.

AG said to have agreed deal for Netanyahu to quit politics for just 2 years, reneged

Reports say Mandelblit backed away from offer amid scathing criticism from state prosecution colleagues, is now demanding ‘moral turpitude’ clause which spells 7-year ban for ex-PM

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit initially offered former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu a far more lenient plea deal in his corruption trial than the one currently being discussed, but backed away due to a flood of pressure from key figures in the prosecution, Channel 12 reported Friday.

According to the report, Netanyahu, 72, the current opposition leader, would only have had to commit to stepping away from public life for two years, with the charges also being significantly lowered in two of the cases against him and dismissed in the third.

Since reports of the negotiations emerged last week, they have generally said that Mandelblit has been demanding that any plea deal with Netanyahu include a clause of “moral turpitude” — which would bar the former prime minister from public office for seven years.

This requirement was underlined on Thursday by Deputy State Attorney Shlomo Lamberger, who made the first public remarks by a senior justice official on the offer, telling a conference held by the Israel Bar Association that it would be “inconceivable” for a plea deal not to include the clause.

“Anyone who understands moral turpitude understands that with such acts it is inconceivable there isn’t moral turpitude,” Lamberger said.

Netanyahu is on trial in three separate graft cases: for fraud and breach of trust in Case 1000 and in Case 2000, and for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in Case 4000. Under the reported potential deal, the bribery charge in Case 4000 would be dropped, and Case 2000 would be closed altogether.

The reports have listed Mandelblit’s current conditions for an agreement as follows: Netanyahu admits to fraud and breach of trust in cases 1000 and 4000; he accepts the designation of moral turpitude; he will be sentenced to seven to nine months of community service; and he admits to having instructed former Communications Ministry director Shlomo Filber to provide benefits to the controlling shareholder of the Bezeq media company, Shaul Elovitch — the main accusation against the former premier in case 4000.

However, the Channel 12 report Friday said that Mandelblit had previously agreed to Netanyahu stepping away from public office for just two years. It also said that the proposed agreement could have had included a suspended jail sentence, as opposed to the community service and suspended sentence currently on offer.

Rep. Timothy Ramthun Responds to Attacks by Wisconsin Assembly GOP and Speaker Vos — Slams Him for His Support of the 500 Illegal Ballot Drop Boxes in the State

On Wednesday Wisconsin House Speaker Robin Vos sent his Chief of Staff Jenny Tofness to Representative Timothy Ramthun‘s office in Madison.

Speaker Vos removed and reallocated Rep. Timothy Ramthun’s staffer to a different office. This came after Ramthun had reported that speaker Vos signed off on the use of the ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin for the 2020 Election. We heard from our sources that Vos’s operatives allegedly removed Ramthun’s Chief of Staff who was at home tending to a sick child.

Recently Rep. Ramthun has been on fire, calling out politicians and explaining to his followers and supporters in a number of press releases how the state laws were broken in the 2020 election by the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC). Ramthun also believes Robin Vos’ election investigation is a sham and is nothing more than a coverup to run out the clock.

Following the removal of Rep. Ramthun’s staff the Wisconsin Assembly GOP rallied around Speaker Vos and not Rep. Ramthun. The WI Assembly GOP released this statement.

The Assembly GOP accused Rep. Ramthun of tying Speaker Vos to a Hillary Clinton attorney — something that came from the Milwaukee Sentinel as we reported on Thursday.

It is also very disappointing to see the attacks on Rep. Ramthun on election integrity, something Speaker Vos has half-heartedly embraced and only after months of prodding from his constituents.

On Friday night Rep. Timothy Ramthun released a response to the misinformation against him.

How WHO chief Tedros violated UN rules to advance TPLF interests in Ethiopia

In leaked audio, UN staffers accuse World Health Organization Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of violating UN code to further the objectives of his political allies in Ethiopia’s conflict

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, World Health Organization (WHO) Secretary-General and overseer of the UN’s global coronavirus response, has established a shadow relief operation that sidesteps the authority of Ethiopia’s sovereign government and directly coordinates with his political allies in the country’s civil war.

The alleged actions by Tedros, which have come to light through leaked audio conversations of UN workers, constitute a violation of UN code, which stipulates staff maintain neutrality and refrain from intervening in the affairs of member states. A participant in the leaked discussion also states that Tedros tried to replace the UN’s top coordinator in Ethiopia with someone willing to advance his political objectives.

“They want a direct line from Tigray to the [UN] headquarters,” UN Country Team-Ethiopia staffer Maureen Achieng said in a conversation with her colleague, Dennia Gayle, and Canadian Journalist Jeff Pearce, referring to Tedros and his allies.

Pearce recorded the discussion in Addis Ababa in August of 2021. His digital audio recorder was stolen in the Addis airport as he was returning to Canada, and audio fragments of the conversation were leaked anonymously later that month.

The contents of the discussion reveal that Tedros has levied his power as WHO Secretary-General to advance the interests of his sectarian allies, the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), within the United Nations. His actions constitute a direct attempt at undermining the authority of Ethiopia’s sovereign government, which has been ensnared in a brutal civil war with the TPLF since November of 2020.

In June 2021, UN officials arrived in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, and headed straight to the TPLF-controlled Tigray Regional State without making contact with UN staff already on the ground, including the Resident Coordinator, Catherine Sozi. Their goal was to establish a shadow aid network, directly linked with the TPLF, which operated beyond the authority of Ethiopia’s government.

In the leaked audio, which is embedded at the end of this article, Achieng and Gayle allege that Tedros even agitated for the UN to replace Sozi, who oversees the organization’s operations in Ethiopia, “with somebody who will dance to their tune,” rather than follow the official protocol of coordinating with Ethiopia’s elected government.

Tedros answers to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, but Guterres appears to have looked the other way as Tedros violated multiple UN Codes of Conduct, including the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, World Health Organization.

The latter states, in Section 3.1, Article 12 that “WHO staff members are required to always act with impartiality and professionalism and to ensure that the expression of personal views and convictions do not compromise the performance of their official duties or the interests of WHO.”

Tedros not only violated these principles by allegedly using his influence to establish direct communication between the TPLF and United Nations in secret, but by repeatedly voicing opinions about Ethiopia’s civil war in public. Following President Joseph Biden’s unexpected January 10 phone call with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, Tedros unleashed a series of condemnations of Abiy’s government, accusing it of “an insult to humanity” for supposedly preventing aid from entering the Tigray region.

Another Mega Group Spy Scandal? Samanage, Sabotage, And The SolarWinds Hack

The devastating hack on SolarWinds was quickly pinned on Russia by US intelligence. A more likely culprit, Samanage, a company whose software was integrated into SolarWinds’ software just as the “back door” was inserted, is deeply tied to Israeli intelligence and intelligence-linked families such as the Maxwells.

In mid-December of 2020, a massive hack compromised the networks of numerous US federal agencies, major corporations, the top five accounting firms in the country, and the military, among others. Despite most US media attention now focusing on election-related chaos, the fallout from the hack continues to make headlines day after day.

The hack, which affected Texas-based software provider SolarWinds, was blamed on Russia on January 5 by the US government’s Cyber Unified Coordination Group. Their statement asserted that the attackers were “likely Russian in origin,” but they failed to provide evidence to back up that claim.

Since then, numerous developments in the official investigation have been reported, but no actual evidence pointing to Russia has yet to be released. Rather, mainstream media outlets began reporting the intelligence community’s “likely” conclusion as fact right away, with the New York Times subsequently reporting that US investigators were examining a product used by SolarWinds that was sold by a Czech Republic–based company, as the possible entry point for the “Russian hackers.” Interest in that company, however, comes from the fact that the attackers most likely had access to the systems of a contractor or subsidiary of SolarWinds. This, combined with the evidence-free report from US intelligence on “likely” Russian involvement, is said to be the reason investigators are focusing on the Czech company, though any of SolarWinds’ contractors/subsidiaries could have been the entry point.

Such narratives clearly echo those that became prominent in the wake of the 2016 election, when now-debunked claims were made that Russian hackers were responsible for leaked emails published by WikiLeaks. Parallels are obvious when one considers that SolarWinds quickly brought on the discredited firm CrowdStrike to aid them in securing their networks and investigating the hack. CrowdStrike had also been brought on by the DNC after the 2016 WikiLeaks publication, and subsequently it was central in developing the false declarations regarding the involvement of “Russian hackers” in that event.

There are also other parallels. As Russiagate played out, it became apparent that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and a foreign power, but the nation was Israel, not Russia. Indeed, many of the reports that came out of Russiagate revealed collusion with Israel, yet those instances received little coverage and generated little media outrage. This has led some to suggest that Russiagate may have been a cover for what was in fact Israelgate.

Similarly, in the case of the SolarWinds hack, there is the odd case and timing of SolarWinds’ acquisition of a company called Samanage in 2019. As this report will explore, Samanage’s deep ties to Israeli intelligence, venture-capital firms connected to both intelligence and Isabel Maxwell, as well as Samange’s integration with the Orion software at the time of the back door’s insertion warrant investigation every bit as much as SolarWinds’ Czech-based contractor.

Samanage, Salesforce, and the World Economic Forum

Around the time of Samange’s acquisition by SolarWinds, it was reported that one of Samanage’s top backers was the company Salesforce, with Salesforce being both a major investor in Samanage as well as a partner of the company.

Salesforce is run by Marc Benioff, a billionaire who got his start at the tech giant Oracle. Oracle was originally created as a CIA spin-off and has deep ties to Israel’s government and the outgoing Trump administration. Salesforce also has a large presence in Israel, with much of its global research and development based there. Salesforce also recently partnered with the Unit 8200-linked Israeli firm Diagnostic Robotics to “predictively” diagnose COVID-19 cases using Artificial Intelligence.

Aside from leading Salesforce, Benioff is a member of the Vatican’s Council for Inclusive Capitalism alongside Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons, and members of the Lauder family, who have deep ties to the Mega Group and Israeli politics.

Benioff is also a prominent member of the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum and the inaugural chair of the WEF’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR), making him one of the most critical players in the unfolding of the WEF-backed Great Reset. Other WEF leaders, including the organization’s founder Klaus Schwab, have openly discussed how massive cyberattacks such as befell SolarWinds will soon result in “even more significant economic and social implications than COVID-19.”

Last year, the WEF’s Centre for Cybersecurity, of which Salesforce is part, simulated a “digital pandemic” cyberattack in an exercise entitled Cyber Polygon. Cyber Polygon’s speakers in 2020 included former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Mishustin, WEF founder Klaus Schwab, and IBM executive Wendi Whitmore, who previously held top posts at both Crowdstrike and a FireEye subsidiary. Notably, just months before the COVID-19 crisis, the WEF had held Event 201, which simulated a global coronavirus pandemic that crippled the world’s economy.

In addition to Samanage’s ties to WEF big shots such as Marc Benioff, the other main investors behind Samanage’s rise have ties to major Israeli espionage scandals, including the Jonathan Pollard affair and the PROMIS software scandal. There are also ties to one of the WEF’s founding “technology pioneers,” Isabel Maxwell (the daughter of Robert Maxwell and sister of Ghislaine), who has long-standing ties to Israel’s intelligence apparatus and the country’s hi-tech sector.

Microsoft, like some of Samanage’s main backers, is part of the World Economic Forum and is an enthusiastic supporter of and participant in the Great Reset agenda, so much so that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote the foreword to Klaus Schwab’s book “Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution.” With the WEF simulating a cyber “pandemic” and both the WEF and Israel’s head of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate warning of an imminent “cyber winter”, SolarWinds does indeed appear to be just the beginning, though perhaps a scripted one to create the foundation for something much more severe. A cyberattack on Microsoft products globally would certainly upend most of the global economy and likely have economic effects more severe than the COVID-19 crisis, just as the WEF has been warning. Yet, if such a hack does occur, it will inevitably serve the aims of the Great Reset to “reset” and then rebuild electronic infrastructure.

Durham vs. Horowitz: Tension Over Truth and Consequences Grips the FBI's Trump-Russia Reckoning

As he documents the role of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in generating false allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, Special Counsel John Durham has also previewed a challenge to the FBI’s claims about how and why its counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign began. At stake is the completeness of the official reckoning within the U.S. government over the Russiagate scandal – and whether there will be an accounting commensurate with the offense: the abuse of the nation's highest law enforcement and intelligence powers to damage an opposition presidential candidate turned president, at the behest of his opponent from the governing party he defeated.

Scientists Who Were Instrumental to COVID-19 ‘Natural Origins’ Narrative Received Over $50 Million in NIAID Funding in 2020-2021

Four prominent scientists who played key roles in shaping the public narrative around the origin of COVID-19 received substantial increases in grant money from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, in the subsequent two years, a review of funding data by The Epoch Times has found.

Three of these scientists—Kristian Andersen, Robert Garry, and Michael Farzan—were advisers to a teleconference organized by Fauci held on Feb. 1, 2020, in response to increasing public questions about the origin of the virus.

The scientists were also instrumental in the publication of Proximal Origin, a highly influential paper that promoted a natural origins theory for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and has been frequently cited by the government and media.

Emails released under Freedom of Information Act requests, showed that the scientists had told the senior members of Fauci’s teleconference that they were 60 to 80 percent sure that COVID-19 had come out of a lab.

Notably, despite their private concerns about the origin of the virus, the first draft of Proximal Origin was completed on the same day as the teleconference. Andersen and Garry were co-authors of Proximal Origin and Farzan was acknowledged in the Nature version of Proximal Origin for his participatory discussions in the article’s creation.

Additionally, Fauci’s NIAID provided a substantial increase in funding to EcoHealth’s Peter Daszak, through whom NIAID had funded controversial gain-of-function coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Some of these funding amounts have continued through 2021—and one of the newest grants will continue through at least 2025.

A significant portion of the funding increase for Daszak, as well as for Andersen and Garry, was provided through NIAID’s creation of the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID).

The program, which was originally referred to as Emerging Infectious Diseases Research Centers (EIDRCs) during the early planning stages in 2019, was formally announced under a new name on Aug. 27, 2020. It is not known why the program was initially delayed or why it was renamed.

The new initiative, described as a global network that involves “multidisciplinary investigations into how and where viruses and other pathogens emerge from wildlife and spillover to cause disease in people,” provided eleven new grants totaling $17 million of new funding in the first year and $82 million in total funding across five years.
