She’s Not Speaking For You – How Much Do The Pelosi’s Have Invested In China?
President Trump announced Tuesday that he was immediately suspending funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). The State Department was otherwise poised to hand over to the WHO $893 million over the next two years. The President’s move came in response to the actions of the WHO and particularly its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in defending China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Estimates are that 95% of the deaths worldwide from the ongoing pandemic could have been avoided had Chinese authorities not lied about the scope of the outbreak and had instead warned the world of the scope of the problem on their soil. In making the announcement that funding would be withheld the President also noted that an investigation was being launched into the actions of the WHO stating that the WHO had put “political correctness over lifesaving measures” and that the WHO was “China-centric.”
“We have deep concerns over whether America’s generosity has been put to the best use possible,” Trump said. He noted that the WHO had a duty to warn the world of what was really happening in China and that “The WHO failed in this duty and must be held accountable.” He added that the WHO had also ignored “credible information” in December 2019 that the virus could be transmitted from human to human.
Wednesday, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi attacked President Trump’s decision, saying it was “dangerous” and “illegal.” She vowed to fight the decision and to maintain funding to the WHO. The senior member of the United States House of Representatives confronting the President and vowing to go to the mat and ensure that almost a billion dollars of the taxpayers’ money be handed over to an international organization at the same time the average American – out of work and locked down – is struggling to pay the rent and buy groceries? Strange. Or maybe not that strange. The real issue here is China and holding it and its minions – like WHO Director Ghebreyesus – accountable for the damage its lies and disinformation have done to global efforts to combat the pandemic. And, when it comes to China, Pelosi chose sides a long time ago.
''Pelosi may present herself as the defender of the little guy. She is anything but. In 2018 her net worth was roughly $160 million. She is married to Paul Pelosi who runs a top tier investment and real estate firm in San Francisco. Over the course of decades, as Nancy has risen through the ranks of the Democratic Party, the Pelosi’s have gotten fabulously wealthy. There have been any number of allegations over the decades that Nancy and her husband have profited in ways that are clearly illegal from the access a senior politician enjoys. Over a span of years, Nancy Pelosi used her influence to steer more than $1 billion to the expansion of a light rail line into a San Francisco neighborhood where her husband owned commercial property and in which business associates of his then purchased additional properties''. The value of real estate in the area exploded with the arrival of light rail, and the Pelosi’s made a killing.
There has also been an almost unending number of ''allegations that Paul Pelosi has benefited from what is known as insider trading''. That is, he has made sometimes enormous purchases of stocks based on information allegedly provided to him by Nancy, who was privy to sensitive, non-public information by way of her position. The most recent example occurred earlier this year. Nancy Pelosi had meetings in mid-February where she was handed secret information about the Coronavirus that the rest of the country was not given. Immediately following those meetings Paul Pelosi made massive purchases of stocks in tech companies in which he had not previously invested. All those companies have since substantially outperformed the market, and Pelosi has made huge profits.
