President Joe Biden’s USAID awarded an $800 million contract to a business operating out of a Virginia home even after it formally ruled that its key manager lacked “honesty or integrity” — a reference to the fact that, according to a May 12 guilty plea, he had secured USAID contracts through bribery for a decade.

The contract was for addressing “issues affecting the root causes of irregular migration from Central America to the United States” — the work that Biden assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris, but which she never appeared to address, a Daily Wire investigation found.

The Department of Justice announced Friday that Walter Barnes III, the founder of government contractor Vistant (previously known as PM Consulting Group, or PMCG) and Roderick Watson, a USAID contracting official, pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme in which Barnes and two others conspired to pay Watson $1 million in exchange for $544 million in contracts.

What has not been reported is that the Biden administration continued to steer contracts to Vistant/PMCG even after it knew of the massive corruption: the migration contract, even larger than the $544 million in the indictment, and others that are still active.

The $800 million contract went to a joint venture between Barnes’ company and CollaborateUp, a tiny consultancy run out of a suburban home in Falls Church, Virginia, where its CEO, Richard Crespin — who runs the company while also working at a think tank — lives. The Virginia home was the address listed on the $800 million contract.

Seeing people make arguments about "what if you have a baby and it has autism or ocd or anxiety? Isn't it better to just not have a child?" is one of those....whew moments when you are reading it as someone with autism, anxiety, and OCD.

Like guys, I promise that disabled people have value. No matter how much they are willing or able to contribute to society. No matter how much they might suffer, their lives are valuable. And if your worldview is not accepting of disabled people then it is inherently eugenicist and genocidal. I did not stutter when I typed that. Views that devalue the life of disabled people as less then, are eugenicist and genocidal. They are used to justify our oppression and dehumanisation and our exclusion from society. Even if you think you are progressive, even if you think you are liberationary, even if you think you are anti-conservative or whatever else.

And you can "well not you, those other disabled people" all you want. Because I will always stand with disabled people that are more disabled and more vulnerable than me. My life is not more valuable than theirs. You do not get to draw the distinction between 'good' and 'bad' disabled people. Your eugenicist and genocidal worldview will come for your disabled friends, your disabled family members, your disabled neighbours, your disabled partner - even if you would personally draw a line at them. Your worldview does not, it will and does open the door to violence on a systemic and personal level. And you are only ever one day away from catching an illness that makes you disabled in the short or long term, or getting into an accident that leaves you disabled in the short or long term.

Good luck NY. You’ll need it. Because you’re perpetually stupid.
