Watch: Senator Rand Paul Warns 'Over-Classification' Being Used To Cover Up COVID Lab Leak

Senator Rand Paul warned Wednesday that over classification of information is being used to avoid oversight and institute cover ups, such as regarding the origins of COVID.

Appearing on Newsmax TV’s “Eric Bolling The Balance,” Paul explained “I think there’s an overclassification problem here. Everything’s classified. And in all likelihood, what we’ll find is this is not some sort of organized scheme to have the secrets to the nuclear weapon in [Biden’s] Corvette. I think it’s more likely than not that we’ve classified so many documents that it’s hard to find documents that are not classified.”

He continued, “The one problem with classifying so much is that there is, right now, to my knowledge, pretty good information out there in the intelligence community about the virus originating from the lab in China, and yet they classify it to try to prohibit people [like] me giving you the information that we already know that this came from a lab. And so this is a real problem.”

“We need to allow less classification so the American people can understand more about what’s going on with their government,” Paul urged.

He added, “I go to classified hearings, and I haven’t actually been to a classified hearing where I actually thought I heard a secret, to tell you the truth.”

Paul further noted that when President Trump was found to have some documents, “the left-wing media acted as if oh, these are the Manhattan Project. This is the secrets to the nuclear weapon… Really, most of the stuff we see is not really that secret. But it’s all stamped that way.”

“The intelligence community does this so they have more power and we have less power,” the Senator continued, adding “I have long argued that Congress needs to know more and the American people need to know more about what the CIA does, what the FBI does. Because we can’t oversee them, we can’t have oversight and reform if we don’t know what they’re doing.”

“They avoid oversight by classifying things, and often there’s a policy decision like, for example, with COVID, we need to know if COVID came from a lab so we can prevent this from happening again. Some of this is being stymied by the intelligence agencies classifying things that need to be declassified,” Paul further asserted.

Watch:

Paul has previously labeled the subterfuge over the coronavirus lab leak as “the biggest coverup in the history of science,” and has vowed to continue to expose the origins of the pandemic and uncover a paper trail that he is positive will lead back to the Wuhan lab research funded by Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health.

Probably one of the reasons AT&T's DirectTV DROPPED NewsMax despite increasing audience.

That may be part of the Pfizer Covid mutation process.

Love Rand Paul. He cuts through the BS

While Red and Blue sides of the Uniparty chase their tails over who did what with classified documents, Americans accept without question the fact that we live in world controlled by our deep-state apparatchiks.

Classification, security clearance, and BS “national security” are the fake money and voodoo of the deep state.

********************************************************

I doubt there’s many in Congress who have any idea as to what’s going on when it comes to foreign policy except perhaps those at the top like Pelosi and McConnell. Every competent and honest scientist knows the covid-19 virus came from a lab, there’s just too much obvious genetic manipulation to pretend it arose naturally.

The only questions left are what lab from what country and whether it was released accidentally or intentionally. And I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that it was China, there’s a fair amount of evidence pointing elsewhere. Which could be why most if not all members of Congress (not to mention the American people) have been kept in the dark.

To address your second paragraph, I believe the release was an accident. However, I firmly believe CCP intentionally spread it to the world to cover their ass for playing with bio-weapons.

As for “others” implicated, I believe the US, Canada, Australia, the EU, France and a few others who ALL provided $$, material, and equipment to Wuhan Lab are ALL complicit in this. They ALL knew exactly what Wuhan was doing. Quite a few “Western” powers have dirty hands on this.

If I’m wrong, then WHY did all the countries I listed have the most severe lockdowns, mandates, etc.? Almost like they “knew” what was released.

I’m not a great writer, more a fact collector. WHEN DID WE HIRE A KING NANNY? Telling us what Stove we can have. I thought this was a Free Republic, not a Dictatorship.
