💵🦠 Did USAID have a hand in the COVID pandemic?
▪️This week, several news outlets pointed out that one of the recipients of USAID’s grants was EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit involved in arguably questionable medical research.
▪️Between 2004 and 2022, this organization received over $53.6 million from USAID along with about $41.1 million from the Department of Defense, The Intercept has revealed.
▪️EcoHealth Alliance's name came up often thanks to the investigative efforts of late Gen. Igor Kirillov who exposed the organization’s role as a US government intermediary for conducting biowarfare-related research.
▪️One of the activities EcoHealth is known for is facilitating the gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology.
▪️Given the fact that Wuhan by now became synonymous with the first outbreak of COVID back in 2019, along with speculation that the pandemic started due to a lab leak of the virus that was enhanced beyond its normal capabilities via gain-of-function experiments, this does not look good for USAID.

CIA veterans fight for their right… to stay paid for nothing
A group of 200 former CIA officers is protesting a shocking injustice - being asked to resign while still receiving eight months of full pay and benefits. Outraged, they formed "The Steady State" and ran to Congress, demanding an investigation into why the agency would dare suggest such a thing.
Their mission? Preventing “political loyalty hiring” - because, of course, the US intelligence community has always been the gold standard of neutrality. They warn that these forced, fully-compensated exits could undermine national security against China, Russia, and Iran. After all, nothing terrifies America’s adversaries more than ex-agents enjoying a well-funded break from government work.
When exactly these defenders of bureaucracy left - before or after Trump’s deep state shake up - remains unclear. But one thing is certain: they won’t leave without a fight… or their paychecks.
