Pompeo Confirms Intense Opposition to Wuhan Lab Probe From State Department, Intelligence Bureaucracies
The Epoch Times ^ | Jun 3, 2021 | Mark Tapscott

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed to The Epoch Times on June 3 that his efforts to get to the bottom of how the CCP virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—spread from China to the United States met with sustained opposition within the U.S. government.

Asked about revelations in a June 3 Vanity Fair report that key officials deep within the State Department sought to keep the public from knowing that U.S. funds had supported gain-of-function research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), Pompeo described a “contentious battle.”

It frankly doesn’t matter who we elect. This entire fetid mess has to be taken down.

The deep state goons are traitors. How can any president trust what the CIA, NSA, State, FBI or any government agency puts in front of him or her. Vietnam, nearly surrendering to the Soviets, the USS Cole and other terrorist attacks, 911, and the Iraq debacle and 20 years of wallowing in the Afghanistan quagmire with no end in sight. They allow elites, globalist and enemy countries to continually damage the USA and murder and maim Americans without batting an eye. They are contemptible scum bags.

Foggy Bottom is a hive of corruption, weasels and statist status quo paralytics.

Max Weber back in the early 1900s had bureaucracy pegged. If you have never read his essay, you had better. Duck Duck Go it.

The Republic is dead.

We need a new government.

Somebody wrote a whole book on the department 10 or so years ago. Doesn’t surprise me. Even Kisinger wanted to get rid of the diplomatic corps. One third of them or more-Marvin Kalb’s book.

Well Mike, how many did you fire or demote? Or did you just whine and stomp your feet?

Exactly why we cannot trust them or their “life saving” vaccines.

Proverbs 22:3 “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”

State Department and the sister agency are DNC operatives. I spent eight years in hell with them after DOD. Wife retires this October.
