potential money laundering scheme through auctioning off surplus masks and other medical equipment through the GSA?

in #informationwarlast year (edited)

About a year ago, the GSA was auctioning off face sheilds,n95 masks, and gowns through the GSA. Despite fauci, Biden, Pfizer, and others saying we would have an annual booster shot, it seems that covid was instead going away.

The other Day Alex Jones warned that the Government was planning to start masking people, and having lockdowns again, to basically steal the 2024 election if we play along. Since then one college has implemented mask mandates ago https://www.ajc.com/education/atlanta-college-reinstates-covid-19-mask-mandate-as-students-return-to-city/VRAZSDSKJ5B2DG4L7D6I7GCR7I/ , and the Biden administration is encouraging covid booster shots over the fear of some emerging eris strand. https://www.breitbart.com/health/2023/08/21/biden-administration-to-urge-all-americans-get-a-coronavirus-booster-shot-now/

I was reminded of a post I made to discord a year ago, almost to this date, about some GSA auctions. https://discord.com/channels/319885228464406528/341298478498185226/1012178343589843064 They were selling pallets upon pallets of unused mask, face shields, and gowns. like 3 separate auctions, and a starting bit of $25. luckily in posting an item description there, i preserved the item id for the auction. It's gone from the GSA website, but google cache remembered it, and now archive.is. https://archive.is/bctsR the final bid was $55.

It is hard for me to guess the fair market value of 12 pallets of medical gowns, face shields, and face masks. One website claims to sell a pallet of n95 masks for over $11000. Another website claims to sell a pallet of medical gowns for $2000. Another site claims a pallet of masks is $4500, but it doesn't say n95. A pallet of face shields is over $8000.

Granted the auction doesn't say if these are full pallets, and to be honest don't know if any of these websites are safe to use. I am just using them as guides. But you get the idea. Supposing they were full pallets, there could be anywhere from $24k-132K worth of medical supplies in each auction. anywhere from about $72k-about 400k for this one location. I can't trace the other two auctions from this site, but we see that $55 appears to be the final bid.

The V.A. has, according to google, 1321 health care facilities. This gives us a range of about $100m-500m.

Just because there is a potential for money laundering, doesn't mean it actually occurred. Maybe a hospital bought up the inventory for all I know, but there are cost associated with storing them as well.

The next step of course would be to try a FOIA request with the GSA to get the names of the buyers and see if there are any connections. Even if there is a common risk taker, person of corporation, who bought them all up nationwide and could afford the storage and shipping costs doesn't mean money laundering. It was a super good deal, but not very convenient for the ordinary person when the market was already saturated with them. To show intent, it would help to prove there was a political connection. That alone isn't technically proof. Proof might be something like doing a FOIA on the department of veterans affairs to get any internal emails, memos, letters, phone calls concerning their sale-or on other agencies concerning when the covid paranoia would return. Will I do this myself, or leave it for others to do. I dunno yet.

i attempted a foia. they refused too answer the foia and tried to limit my result set and say that if I didn't respond in 2 weeks it would be dismissed. The very next they scrapped their old website, it is doubtful my response was heard, and the ticket is no longer trackable.

my foia actually completed. I don't have time to peruse the data, but I uploaded it on discord.
