Anonymous RedState Editor Who Attacked Dr. Fauci as a ‘Mask Nazi’ Outed as Secret Dr. Fauci Staffer
Mediaite ^ | Sep 21st, 2020, 2:10 pm | Colby Hall

Through a bit of remarkable reporting by Lachlan Markay, The Daily Beast has revealed the mysterious life of William B. Crews. Known professionally as an official for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the public health agency overseen by Dr. Anthony Fauci, he is also the anonymous managing editor of pro-Trump website Red State. Known there by the pen name “streiff,” he has written a series of harangues attacking Dr. Fauci and the “deep state” over the pandemic response.

For the blissfully uninitiated, Redstate holds sway in conservative circles, including with members of Congress and their staffers on the Hill. So a well-regarded website dedicating numerous posts designed to undermine the nation’s top immunologist, anonymously written by an anonymous individual who works for Dr. Fauci? That’s a big deal.

That’s right. This guy works professionally for the NIAID under Dr. Fauci, charged with promoting sound advice from medical and public health experts. But he also moonlights as an anonymous troll that actively publishes disinformation that, as Markay writes, “his superiors at the NIAID say is a major challenge to widespread efforts to control a pandemic that has claimed roughly 200,000 U.S. lives.”

The nut of this remarkably strange (and strangely remarkable) story:

Update: According to CNN’s Oliver Darcy, an NIH spokesperson has announced Mr. Crews plans to retire and offered no further comment:

"Bill Crews is a PR official at the National Institutes of Health. But he also has another job: an anonymous RedState editor who rails against the agency for which he works," @lachlan scoops. https://t.co/Onm1xtdVY6— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) September 21, 2020

New: After @lachlan's report, NIH spox says, "NIAID first learned of this matter this morning, and Mr. Crews has informed us of his intention to retire. We have no further comments on this as it is a personnel matter."— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) September 21, 2020

So someone on the inside who knows how the NIH really operates thinks they’re full of poo?

[Sounds like a WHISTLEBLOWER.]


In the Democrat lexicon, left-wingers are whistleblowers, whereas right-wingers are purveyors of disinformation. Aren’t you glad that clarity has now been restored?

So the “secret” insider writing posts negative towards Dr Fauci is merely slandered because he edits a “right wing” opinion/blog site, NOT apparently for anything scientifically or logical wring with what the “secret” (no more) insider wrote.

This is a journalistic bad habit; kill the message not on any critique of what the messenger said, merely because of the venue they used to say it.

I am to the point where, despite being high risk for this disease, I just refuse to live in fear. I will take reasonable precaution but if death takes me it will take as a human doing human things not a sheep hiding in fear.

Remember, when this started, Fauci discouraged people from wearing masks, and said only hospital workers and the very wealthy should wear them.

While the Florida Supremes in 2000 gave AlGore’s handlers anything they asked for, within hours, as of September 2020, all seven judges on the court were appointed by a Republican governor.

Crews may be just retiring from that job. Might work for Open Society next? But this reminds me of suspicions of Leftist infiltration of ALL institutions to ruin them, partly because of his repeated use of WWII German terminology that act as dog-whistles. Could be a double/triple agent scenario. Other less overt information sites we look to could also be corrupted, remember all the FBI within the triple-K group when it was taken down. This is for all the chips, no ruse will be left in the toolbox.

Well be careful man.

I had a BEAST of a virus last week..no upper respiratory symptoms, which doesn’t completely rule out COVID, but it DID remind me what a really bad virus could be like.

pulse went above 160, headache to cry for, nervous system twitching and spasms..never had anything like it.

5 days laid up then good

i’m 52 and fat :) but strong no other conditions.

Live your life but be safe..FR wouldn’t’ be the same without you.

ciao

Sounds like a certain so called “anonymous”, a supposed White House employee who kept writing articles in the New York Times trashing President Trump.
Funny, I don't remember Mediate getting their panties in a twist when that a anonymous was thrashing Trump.

The article is one thing - more concerning is how he was discovered.

And who leaked it to mediaite?

NIH spokesperson has announced Mr. Crews plans to retire and offered no further comment:

The one who should be retiring is Fauci. No, not retiring Fauci should be sacked like from back in March.
