“Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not today.” Apoorva Mandavilli, "science" reporter for the New York Times.
NEVER FORGET that when it came to one of the biggest stories of the century, an event that was used as a pretext for all sorts of power grabs and attacks on civil liberties, our legacy media, led by The Paper of Record, not only refused to investigate its origins, but denounced anyone who even considered the possibility that the Official Narrative was wrong, as RACISTS. (In the 21st century, the Bigotry Accusation is the first refuge of scoundrels.)
If you wanna talk about Patient Zero, here is symbolic evidence that speaks in a million different ways: about the degradation of American discourse, the transformation of the MSM into brazen bullying propagandists, the contempt the elite class has for its citizens, and the attempted takeover of Western societies by an arrogant globalist caste that lies at will and wants complete control of our lives and thoughts.
They killed millions of people and lied about it, knowing that since they owned the media their PR lapdogs would help them cover it up. Never believe a single word of their lies ever again.
I read a lot of Michael Crichton novels when I was a teen in the '90s, but as entertaining as they were I always thought he was overly alarmist. Now I get it. This is exactly the combination of scientific arrogance, ambition, and incompetence he was warning about.
Swiss Policy Research published much of this, including those who were sick related to the Wuhan lab, and the clevage CCG stuff, in the first half of 2020. Before Substack blew up and Brownstone was founded. It was and is one of the few places to find truthful information, actual data, and cited sources.
The mainstream media is so attached to the Democratic Party Establishment, that happens to exercise an unseemly large amount of influence over the federal law enforcement bureaucracy, and are so obsessed with controlling the party-approved narrative, they refuse to admit they don’t know what they’re doing.
Taking this the next step, I was in Italy when the dying began in the textile area. 100,000 Chinese workers were living and working there making "made in Italy" brands. During Chinese New Year, thier government provided planes which shuttled many of these workers back and forth from the province where Wuhan is located to ground zero. After some criticism of the situation, everyone went mum, racism you know.
Interestingly, I got the info on the Chinese clothing factories from an investigative report in, The New York Times.
Anthony Fauci has blood and cancer and heart failure and a host of other mysterious illnesses on his hands yet he is a paragon of virtue still to the population of the cognitively dissonant in the US. I still hear friends and acquaintances, many with advanced degrees knowingly guffawing at the "conspiracy theorists" when anything like this article comes up. In exactly the same vein, if anyone dares point out the continuing high rate of unexpected deaths in the West, these same folks roll their eyes. It's as though the Left has taken a pill that makes them stupid, incurious, and angry at the same time.
This information was known from the start. Essentially all of it. It is apparent that the US _and_ China are responsible; and the top virologists as well as Fauci and his minions were aware, and in many cases response.
Let me pose a question. If the US, or China, or any nuclear-armed country, "accidentally" detonated a nuclear weapon, killing as many people as Covid did, what would be the effect?
I know! The clown world NPC response, surely? --
"Let's not litigate the past. Instead let's focus on the future, and make sure this won't happen again."
While NIAID funds EcoHealth alliance yet again. Which is what they just did.
So now another question quickly arises, given how much “inside baseball” was involved here, with a clear involvement from various U.S. entities and individuals involved, when and how long was it before Pfizer and Moderna were made aware or found out, about all of this given their record time in creating their vaccines (of questionable efficacy)? It would be difficult to imagine that in this small community of researchers and scientists, the pharma companies didn’t have some sort of inside track on all this research taking place. While not suggesting their direct involvement, I would suggest that somewhere along the way, early in the virus’ spread, they became aware of exactly what it was, where it came from and who was behind it, in order to come up with their over-hyped solutions. Just a thought.
I'd like to see a video mash up of all the liars and propagandists in the media who stomped on the lab leak theory, interspersed with clips of Rand Paul interrogating Fauci, concluding with whether or not funding of gain-of-function continues.
The virus was partly engineered at the lab in Wuhan but a lot of the work was done at labs in the USA and elsewhere. It really seems that China was tricked into developing the bioweapon, just as Putin was tricked into invading Ukraine, by the Western Oligarchy or Corporatocracy whatever you want to call it. It sure ain't a Democracy.
Evo Morales: "...I continue having doubts about …corona virus. I read…a report from the IMF that said…it’s important to reduce unnecessary population, & who are they? The old, the disabled, poor people, the working class. It looks like, brothers & sisters, that this pandemic is part of a biological war. Let the poor die, the old die, the disabled die.. It looks like… this pandemic is part of a biological war…”
This is Evo Morales, the former President of Bolivia that the U.S helped coup out of his own country.
A big one was the Iranian leadership who were badly affected by Covid right at the very beginning of the plandemic. Even before Italy. So how did Covid spread so early to the holy city of Qom in Iran which had negligible Chinese, unlike Italy which had Chinese garment workers? Ron Unz wrote a lot about it:
"...Most of these early cases had occurred exactly where one might expect, among the East Asian countries bordering China. But by late February Iran had become the second epicenter of the global outbreak. Even more surprisingly, its political elites had been especially hard-hit, with a full 10% of the entire Iranian parliament soon infected[35] and at least a dozen of its officials and politicians[36] dying of the disease, including some who were quite senior[37]. Indeed, Neocon activists on Twitter began gleefully noting.."
"... initial Iranian outbreak was also strangely centered on the Holy City of Qom, the home of that country’s elite political and religious leadership rather than in the far larger metropolis of Tehran....Wuhan is some 5,500 kilometers from Qom, so the latter city would hardly seem the most likely location for the next major appearance of the virus...By March additional major Covid outbreaks had also occurred in Northern Italy and soon afterwards Spain, but the circumstances were quite different. According to Wikipedia, some 300,000 Chinese[38] live and work in that Italian region while another 150,000 Chinese reside in Spain[39], ...By contrast, Iran’s total Chinese population is one of the smallest in the world, numbering just 5,000-9,000[40], and overwhelmingly concentrated in Tehran rather than Qom...."
"This long article will explain how Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was created as a result of intentional laboratory work. It will also show that the blueprint for Sars-Cov-2 was described in the “Project DEFUSE” proposal by Peter Daszak, which was preceded by years of relevant lab work and virus manipulation..."
A few important facts:
" Prashant’s Jan 2020 article about strange HIV Gp120 and “gag” inserts in Sars-Cov-2 was withdrawn in haste and under pressure during the weekend, which is unusual.
HIV-originated Gp120 inserts in Sars-Cov-2, described by Prashant, are meaningful and instrumental to COVID-19’s infecting immune cells, similarly to HIV.
Furin Cleavage Site in Sars-Cov-2 does not exist in other betacoronaviruses and is instrumental for pathogenicity.
Dr. Fauci is an expert on HIV and Gp120 glycoprotein and is a co-author of many articles and a coinventor of three Gp120 related patents, and no doubt understood what Prashant’s preprint meant, right away. Fauci and his associates, together with the likely creator of Sars-Cov-2 Peter Daszak, set out to cover up the origin of Sars-Cov-2.
Peter Daszak’s 2018 “Project DEFUSE” proposal describes exactly what Sars-Cov-2 actually is.
Sars-Cov-2 was possibly cultured on a Moderna MSH3 cell line containing a patented Moderna gene sequence CTCCTCGGCGGGCACGTAG."
The mystery remains why the U.S. government continued to obfuscate in the face of this obvious early evidence, or to promote silly masking studies like the hairdresser comparison, or to insist on vaccinating younger people when the infection mortality rate is lower than for the flu for people under 40. Now the Cochrane study basically says masks are worthless (something Dr Fauci has said on more than one occasion)... I could go on. And yet our public health officials have not adjusted their guidance and don’t seem to acknowledge and adjust to the data. Why? The only coherent answer I’ve heard is in Robert Kennedy’s book about Fauci, which is a fascinating but very depressing read.

Another “conspiracy theory” revealed to be true.
The real question is why is our ruling class so desperate to protect the CCP and parrot their propaganda?
The mainstream media is so attached to the Democratic Party Establishment, that happens to exercise an unseemly large amount of influence over the federal law enforcement bureaucracy, and are so obsessed with controlling the party-approved narrative, they refuse to admit they don’t know what they’re doing.

So many perps, so few (none), indictments.

There must be millions of reasons why Biden would go easy on China

Politicians cover up themselves. FBI covers up pols. Press covers everyone, then labels opponents as terrorists.
Pffff, that's why I focus on tryna get laid, unreal how rigged it is.

Narrator: there was no “full accounting”
But President Trump was acting like a bigot for calling it a Chinese Virus. By the way a very good article. Thanks
