Billions go in, billions come out — guess who benefits?



Investigations by the Department of Government Efficiency have uncovered widespread waste and misappropriation of public funds at the U.S. Agency for International Development, with money being funneled into woke propaganda and other questionable initiatives. In response, Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation have aggressively defended USAID and its $50 billion annual budget, which continues with little oversight despite opposition from most American voters.

Gates appeared on “The View” to emphasize USAID’s importance, highlight his foundation’s frequent partnerships with the agency, and express concern over the DOGE’s audit of USAID spending. He also criticized the Trump administration’s freeze on funding during the investigation, claiming the pause could endanger “millions of lives.”

One of the key revelations from the DOGE’s investigation is the extent to which USAID is the Gates Foundation and the Gates Foundation is USAID.

Framing financial accountability as a life-or-death issue is a classic rhetorical dodge. Declaring that “millions will die unless we keep getting money” is the kind of argument a protection racket might use — or a Bond villain. Yet, Gates made this claim without hesitation, and Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman echoed the same warning.

One of the key revelations from the DOGE’s investigation is the extent to which USAID is the Gates Foundation and the Gates Foundation is USAID. Gates presents their relationship as a public-private partnership dedicated to saving lives. In reality, it functions more like a money-laundering scheme — one that “cleans” both wealth and power for people like Gates while sustaining thousands of projects, employees, and placeholders in organizations that rely entirely on a circular flow of public funds. These funds are redirected by uniparty operatives, who, of course, also benefit from the system.

A quick search of the Gates Foundation website reveals 14 separate grants from the foundation to USAID, totaling millions of dollars. A deeper dive shows that since the Gates Foundation was established, as much as $4 billion has flowed from the foundation into projects directly controlled by USAID or USAID-Gates Foundation partnerships. This might sound like Gates generously funding lifesaving initiatives out of the kindness of his heart — but that’s not the whole story.

At the same time the Gates Foundation directs money to USAID, USAID sends money back to the foundation or to organizations like GAVI, the vaccine alliance Gates founded with an initial $750 million investment. Gates maintains significant influence over GAVI and other recipients, ensuring the money circulates between these entities before a significant portion ultimately returns to him.

When the funds are in the Gates Foundation, GAVI, or a USAID-affiliated project, Gates can claim he has given his share away. But these same organizations then make purchases from pharmaceutical, agribusiness, and green energy companies — many of which Gates holds private investments in.

Gates has directed $4 billion in so-called charitable giving toward USAID-controlled programs over the past two decades. Yet in just one year, GAVI received $4 billion back from USAID. Jon Fleetwood describes this vast money circulation as a system that transforms Gates’ private interests into “noble philanthropy” while triggering a fresh cycle of USAID funding. Public funds spent by the federal government match and eventually surpass the original donations, fueling an ever-expanding financial loop.

USAID is frequently involved in laundering taxpayer money through projects that support globalist strategic interests, which might not always align with the stated goals of development or poverty alleviation ... Gates’ GAVI was one of the top recipients of USAID grants in 2024, according to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. The association shared a screenshot indicating USAID awarded GAVI $4 billion for that year alone.

GAVI then uses that USAID money to buy vaccines from companies in which Gates has private investments or redirects the funds back to the Gates Foundation. Whether the money directly profits Gates or strengthens his financial network, the transactions remain largely concealed beneath the claim that this circular flow of funds is “saving lives.”

Even without absurd expenditures like funding transgender opera performances in the third world or more insidious activities such as sponsoring regime change under CIA direction, USAID spending remains deeply problematic. Powerful organizations and individuals like Bill Gates benefit from these funds while claiming to donate money, creating a fraudulent money-laundering scheme. Taxpayers, who never had the opportunity to consent to their dollars being used this way, are ultimately the ones footing the bill.

Melinda French Gates announces departure from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation



Melinda French Gates has announced that she plans to step down from her post as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

"After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7th," she said in a statement. "Under the terms of my agreement with Bill, in leaving the foundation, I will have an additional $12.5 billion to commit to my work on behalf of women and families. I'll be sharing more about what that will look like in the near future."

'Melinda, this is so exciting.'

Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates divorced in 2021, according to People, ending their more than a quarter century-long marriage.

"We will be changing our name to the Gates Foundation to honor Bill Sr.'s legacy and Melinda's contributions, and Bill will become the sole Chair of the foundation," the organization's CEO, Mark Suzman, noted.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to Melinda French Gates' announcement, tweeting, "Melinda, this is so exciting. Thanks for everything you've already done, and I can’t wait to see all you do next. Onward!"

"As a co-founder and co-chair Melinda has been instrumental in shaping our strategies and initiatives, significantly impacting global health and gender equality," Bill Gates stated. "I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work."

North Carolina church buys up then burns thousands of struggling families' medical debts



A church in North Carolina has again unburdened thousands of families who were struggling with medical debt, setting their obligations ablaze.

Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem bought up and canceled nearly $3.3 million in medical debt belonging to 3,355 families.

According to the Dispatch, this is the second year that members of the church have taken part in the Debt Jubilee Project, which assumes past-due medical bills of residents in the area. Through the project, congregants previously purchased $1.65 million of debt, liberating 1,356 people in Forsyth and Davidson Counties.

When an individual fails to pay down an outstanding medical bill, the medical company that is owed will frequently hire a debt collection agency. When the agency similarly fails in its collection efforts, the debt is sometimes sold to a third-party collection agency for pennies on the dollar to help recoup the loss.

The Dispatch indicated that these third-party agencies have the legal right to either collect or forgive the debts. In partnership with RIP Medical Debt in New York, the Debt Jubilee Project exercised its right to do the latter.

Rev. John Jackman, the pastor of the church, told the Dispatch, "Most of these families were making a go of it until someone has to go into the hospital for a few days or to the doctor for a serious [medical condition]. … We can’t fix the system, so this is something we can do."

Jackman told WXII-TV that the Jubilee Project with RIP Medical Debt "raised $15,000 and with that, we were able to go in and bid and buy $3,295,863.64 in medical debt in Davidson County."

On March 26, the church held a symbolic debt-burning ceremony.

"Some of the poorer folks that we deal with get a medical bill of $1,000 or $3,000. It might as well be $10 million; they just can't deal with it," Jackman said. "For them to get the letter that says that’s forgiven, I think, is such a relief."

"You got to eat, and you got to take care of your children. ... You've got to do what you have to do just to live," Mary Bertstone, a member of the congregation, told WXII-TV. "And that[medical debt] is never going to rise to the top and it's always going to make you feel bad."

\u201cThe members of Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina purchased nearly $3.3 million of local residents\u2019 medical debt for just $15,048.\n\nThen, they held a debt jubilee ceremony and burned up the debt, canceling it all.\u201d

Trinity Moravian Church and its members will reportedly continue burning debts, one county at a time. According to the Debt Jubilee Project, it will seek to help families in Yadkin, Surry, Stokes, and Rockingham Counties next.

“It feels good,” Jackman said. “Even if we don’t know them personally, to know that we have helped families by decreasing their burden, it’s a good feeling. That’s how God operates.”

The informal motto of the Moravian Church is reportedly "in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love."
