From congressman Patt Harrigan:
“What if I told you that there is a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party, independently operating over 80 retail stores on United States military bases?
Let me be clear: a foreign adversary has a physical, ongoing presence on our military installations, inside the wire, with possible access to our personnel and their information.
These stores are not directly monitored by the Department of Defense and they are run with limited federal oversight.
They are independently staffed, supplied, and managed by GNC, a national nutrition and supplement retailer that is now entirely owned and controlled by a hostile federal government.
And every single day, American service members walk through their doors.
They scan their IDs, they swipe their credit cards, they provide phone numbers, emails, and home addresses, they enroll in loyalty programs, some even hand over sensitive health information through supplement consultations.
All of that data is collected by a company that is owned by the Chinese government.
This is not just about names and addresses—it’s about behaviors, patterns, and vulnerabilities.
The Chinese government has the tools they need to build detailed, individualized profiles on our troops, tracking habits, routines, deployment cycles, and even psychological flags—everything a hostile intelligence service needs to start shaping a target.
Congress has spent a lot of time trying to curtail the purchase of land around our most sensitive military bases by our adversaries.
My office is paying attention to land they already occupy on our military bases.
GNC was once an American company.
It was founded in Pittsburgh in 1935 and it grew from a single health food store into a trusted national chain.
That era ended in 2020, after filing for bankruptcy, GNC was sold to Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, a Chinese state-owned enterprise that answers directly to the Communist Party of China.
But the groundwork for that takeover started earlier.
In 2018, Harbin bought a significant stake in GNC.
In 2019, GNC merged its manufacturing operations with a Chinese-backed company that maintains facilities in China.
By the end of 2020, all American assets had been rolled into a new holding company that is now entirely owned by Harbin’s U.S. subsidiary.
That is how the Chinese Communist Party gained total control of an American retail brand, and with it, access to the American military from the inside.
And yet, GNC continues to operate freely on United States military bases through long-term contracts with the military exchange system.
These agreements are funneled through nonappropriated fund instrumentalities, another bureaucratic loophole that values convenience over national security.
This arrangement allows GNC to bypass federal acquisition rules, avoid registration in SAM.gov, withhold ownership disclosures, and escape meaningful oversight at every step.
GNC saw the vulnerability in our system and they walked straight through it.
Even when GNC did register in the federal system in 2022 and 2023, it appears that they hid their ownership.
The company did not disclose that it had a parent company that is fully controlled by a Chinese state-owned entity.
The Biden administration failed to act and the General Services Administration accepted GNC’s registration without any scrutiny.
No questions were asked, no consequences were imposed, and no effort was made to protect American service members from a company controlled by a foreign adversary.
In September of last year, protein shakes sold at GNC locations on military bases were pulled from the shelves.
They contained hemp seeds, a banned substance for military personnel.
That product could have ended careers, it could have compromised unit readiness.
The next batch could be something far more damaging, and there is no guarantee that it would be unintentional.
GNC’s presence on our military bases isn’t just a vulnerability—it’s an open door.
We are talking about the potential of counterfeit products, surveillance tools, digital tracking, and foreign-controlled supply chains operating inside of some of the most sensitive environments in our country.
Every connected device, every in-store promotion, every scanned rewards card and downloaded app is a potential entry point.
And the worst part?
We’ve known about the risks, and we have just decided to look the other way.
That’s why I’ve introduced the Military Installation Retail Security Act of 2025.
This bill prohibits the military exchanges from allowing any company owned or controlled by the governments of China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea from being able to operate a physical location on our military installations.
It terminates existing contracts with companies that lied about who they really are, and it slams shut the legal loopholes that allowed this threat to take root in the first place.
We do not let foreign governments lease space on our bases.
There is no excuse for allowing their companies to infiltrate our infrastructure.
This never should have happened, and we have a duty to make sure that it never happens again.
Our troops deserve more than thank-yous and handshakes.
They deserve better than foreign-controlled cash registers collecting their data behind the wire.
They deserve real protection from threats that are hiding in plain sight.
This is not about trade policy or consumer choice.
This is a national security issue, and the fact that it has been allowed to continue this long is a failure of policy, a failure of diligence, and a failure of leadership.
The Military Installation Retail Security Act doesn’t dance around the problem; it shuts it down.
It puts control back in our hands, forces our adversaries off of our bases, and makes sure that our troops are never put in this kind of danger again.
I urge the Department of Defense to immediately investigate and address the Chinese Communist Party’s foothold on our military installations, and I encourage my colleagues to join me in co-sponsoring this legislation to eliminate this threat and defend those who defend us.”
Can anyone make sense of this for me?

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been impaneled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.
Look who took over this investigation in 2005, none other than James Comey. Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?
But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right? Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2005? None other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.
Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.
What do all four casting characters have in common? They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation. Another coincidence, right?
Fast forward to 2009. James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server. The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary. Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to... the Russians. Now, you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t. America got absolutely nothing out of it.
However, prior to the sales approval, BILL CLINTON goes to Moscow, gets paid $500,000 for a one hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours. Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.
Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame. He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009. Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? None other than, Rod Rosenstein.
And what happened to the informant? The Department of Justice placed a gag order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?
Very soon after; the sale was approved. $145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal. Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, Lois Lerner.
Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right? Let’s fast forward to 2015. Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.
Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this, they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.
Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? James Comey, who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a $6 million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at the State Department. Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope, couldn’t find any crimes there.
In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy. They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury! Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July 5th of 2016, and exonerates Hillary from any wrongdoing.
Do you see the pattern?
It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Assistant Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.
FISA abuse, political espionage pick a crime, any crime, chances are this group and a few others did it:
All the same players.
All compromised and conflicted.
All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.
All connected in one way or another to the Clinton's.
They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch. How many lives have these two destroyed?
As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Let us not forget that Comey's brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.
The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yes, that would be Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background. Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller. Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998. Lawrence also represented:
Robert Mueller 3 times,
James Comey 5 times,
Barack Obama 45 times,
Kathleen Sebelius 56 times,
Bill Clinton 40 times,
and Hillary Clinton 17 times.
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.
You may be saying to yourself, who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman? Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets. Someone out there cares so much that even the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.
Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. Although, Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is LisaBarsoomian@NIH.gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health. This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities. It’s a cover, so big deal right? What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?
It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.
Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention? Because she is Assistant Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein’s wife.
