House Committee Accuses Fauci and Other Health Officials of Unlawfully Granting $26 Billion of Taxpayer Money – Alleges Fauci was Never Reappointed as NIH Director

An investigation led by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) uncovered a failure to properly reappoint 14 National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, as required by law.

The investigation, which began in March 2022, has brought to light a series of concerning issues surrounding the reappointment process and has raised questions about the validity of actions taken by these officials during their unauthorized tenure.

Rodgers (R-WA) revealed on Monday that 14 NIH employees, including former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, were not lawfully reappointed to their positions in December of 2021, as required by law.

“We have uncovered that Sec. Becerra failed to follow the Constitution and the law to reappoint top NIH officials when their terms expired in December 2021. As a result, 14 NIH officials held unlawful positions and exercised authority they didn’t have,” Rodgers wrote.

Under the 21st Century Cures Act, passed with bipartisan support in 2016, NIH Institute and Center (IC) Directors are considered inferior officers of the United States. The law stipulates that these directors must be appointed and reappointed according to specific guidelines outlined in Section 2033, titled “Increasing Accountability at the National Institutes of Health.” The HHS Secretary is responsible for these appointments, with the NIH Director having the authority to recommend candidates.

However, the investigation found that the NIH IC Directors, including Dr. Fauci, were not reappointed in December 2021 as required. Instead, the NIH handled the reappointments internally, with an NIH human resources director signing off on the process. Only after extensive discussions with the Committee did HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra attempt to reappoint the directors in June 2023 through signed appointment affidavits, nearly eighteen months after their terms had expired.

“The failure to reappoint the above NIH IC Directors jeopardizes the legal validity of more than $25 billion in federal biomedical research grants made in 2022 alone,” the committee wrote.

“HHS has produced no documentation showing that Dr. Fauci and Dr. Glass were reappointed as NIAID Director and Fogarty International Center Director, respectively. Both retired prior to the issuance of the June 2023 appointment affidavits. Given his central role in the COVID-19 response, the Committee is particularly concerned about the failure to reappoint Dr. Fauci. Without reappointment, Dr. Fauci continued to serve as NIAID Director until his retirement on December 31, 2022. If Dr. Fauci was never reappointed, every action he took is potentially invalid,” it added.

The investigation further revealed that Dr. Fauci made controversial decisions during his tenure, including awarding a new grant to EcoHealth Alliance, raising concerns about potential double-billing and the lack of transparency regarding research expenses. The fact that Dr. Fauci wielded considerable authority and influence without being duly reappointed highlights the need for better management and accountability within HHS and its component agencies.

‘Sound of Freedom’ Soars to $83 Million as ‘Dead Reckoning’ Slips

Sound of Freedom is no flash in the pan. In its second weekend, the Angel Studios’ phenomenon grossed another $24.7 million, which is an astonishing 26 percent increase over its debut weekend. Currently, THE MOVIE DISNEY DUMPED sits at $83.2 million.

Never forget that the Disney Grooming Syndicate owned Sound of Freedom and then tried to disappear it. Because Jim Caviezel doesn’t age, it’s hard to tell, but Sound of Freedom wrapped in 2018, more than five years ago. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney acquired Sound of Freedom, a movie that is about to become one of the most profitable independent movies of all time.

Obviously, a demonic company like Disney, a company dedicated to grooming kids by sexualizing children’s content with homosexuality, transsexuals, drag queens, and transvestites, does not want anything to do with a movie that depicts the sex trafficking of children as a bad thing. Disney is determined to normalize sex with children, not reinforce the idea that a child’s innocence must be protected. So Disney shelved Sound of Freedom and sat on it. It took five years for the producers to get it back.

Well, because the arc of history bends toward justice, the fetishists at Disney are about to lose a couple hundred million dollars on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Cucking Indiana Jones with a Sexless Co-Star No One Finds Appealing. At the same time, Sound of Freedom has become a money-printing machine.

Everything after about $35 million is pure profit for Sound of Money — er, I mean Sound of Freedom. Already, the people behind this blockbuster have split about $50 million with theaters. That’s $25 million clear and counting.

With its theatrical run far from over, Sound of Freedom’s domestic haul has already topped all but 24 of last year’s biggest-grossing films, including Scream (2022), Morbius, the Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Woman King, Death on the Nile, etc.

Elsewhere at this weekend’s box office, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One came in below its $90 to $100 million projection with an $80 million haul over an extended five-day opening. If you do not adjust for inflation, that’s a franchise record. Twenty-three years ago, Mission: Impossible II opened to $79 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $140 million today.

The good news for Dead Reckoning is the overseas box office. After just five days, by Monday, it should have a worldwide haul of around $240 million. For context, that $240 million nearly ties the worldwide gross of Dial of Kathleen Kennedy’s Latest Franchise-Killing Dud, after 16 days and two full weekends of release.

They've been described as an infestation. They sit in government departments on secondment, occupy hundreds of boards across Australia and earn billions of dollars consulting to the public and private sector. The big four accounting firms — EY, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC — are now under the spotlight like never before.

Even more alarming is the growing reliance on the big four by the Department of Defence, which splurged almost $4 billion of taxpayer money on thousands of contracts with EY, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG. But it could be more.

These high priests of capitalism have been carrying on the dual role of auditing and consulting for years and have largely been left to their own devices to manage the conflicts.

It allowed them to quietly infiltrate government departments and powerful organisations and burrow their way into more and more work that could have been done by public servants.

What we have now is a public service that has been hollowed out and become far too dependent on consultants, who are expensive and operate in the shadows.

Taxpayers in the dark

The magnitude of the money being spent by governments speaks volumes about the extent of their involvement. According to data collected from AusTender by data warehousing expert Greg Bean, who spent decades in data analytics, the Commonwealth spent more than $8 billion in the past ten years on the big four, increasing more than 600 per cent since 2013.

It's a similar story for the states. NSW spent $504 million in the past four years on EY, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC, while Victoria spent $844 million and Western Australia $582 million.

The figures for state and federal governments are large but they don't capture the total amount spent with the big four. There is no consolidated figure publicly available and Commonwealth Corporate entities are only required to disclose contracts worth more than $400,000, which means lots of contracts avoid disclosure on the AusTender site and some contracts are amended or extended. According to Bean's analysis, almost one third of contracts were amended.

Government departments in NSW, for instance, routinely fail their obligations to post contracts on the eTender site. Additionally the site only includes current contracts which means expired contracts disappear from the site, making it difficult to keep tabs on the size of the overall bill and contracts below $150,000 are not disclosed on the site.

It means taxpayers are kept in the dark about the true size of the bill or how the state and federal governments are spending their money. Lack of transparency is rarely, if ever, a good thing.

Independent think tank, the Centre For Public Integrity, has also been assessing the procurement data of the big four and noted a sharp spike in so-called management advisory services, which it describes as the most opaque contracts of all.

But the PwC scandal, which involved PwC partners using confidential government information to help clients such as Uber and Facebook sidestep tax laws, triggered some long-awaited scrutiny.
