Siga Scandal

If you thought Solyndra was bigtime corruption, wait until you read the details of the Siga scandal. David Willman of the Los Angeles Times reveals a huge no-bid contract bearing all the signs of intervention from above, that could dwarf  Solyndra.  It involves the health and safety of the American poeple, and a squandering of taxpayer resources.

The Department of Health and Human Services has signed a no-bid  contracted with Siga Technologies for as much as much as 2.8 billion dollars' worth of a high priced drug, for a terrorism threat that may not exist.  The drug's effectiveness is unknown because it cannot be tested on humans.  The threat it is intended to counter is an attack based on Smallpox (which has been eradicated and only "is known to exist only in the locked freezers of a Russian scientific institute and the U.S. government.")

Obama really, truly believes he can do whatever he wants with impunity. So far, the Republicans are proving him 100% correct.

They are approaching ALL these scandals with WAY too much benefit of the doubt. They need to come forward and just tell the American people point blank, it looks like they've committed crimes A,B,C, and D - that's what the evidence is leading to. We will pursue the evidence, and prosecute any and all crimes to the full extent of our congressional power, and involve law enforcement as needed.

I had put up a quick reply here about another solar company that got 3.1 billion that is based here in Arizona and how the CEO has now resigned... I then said I'd find a link to the data.

On finding the data there was even more to share.. so I started it's own thread here:

Even if the threat were real, and the drug actually effective, the expensive (estimated $255 per dose, a price that bears no relationship at all to production cost) stockpile only has a shelf life of 38 months. If Obama is re-elected, the gravy train rolls along for another profitable round for Siga.

By coincidence, Siga is controlled by Billionaire Democrat mega-donor Ronald Perelman, who used his McAndrew & Forbes holding company to buy into the business of selling antiviral anti-bioterrorism drugs to the government.


On and on she rolls, where the gravy train stops, nobody knows .......

True, but it goes deeper than that...when it comes to standing up for Founding Principles...courage is a scarce commodity!  That makes me angry!
