With Dr. Anthony Fauci back in the news and testifying before @RandPaul's committee, recall this investigation we did. Project Veritas obtained never-before-seen Dept of Defense documents regarding gain-of-function research, the concealment of documents, and the suppression of potential COVID-19 treatments. According to Project Veritas' 2022 reporting, the documents contradicted Dr. Fauci's testimony before Congress.
According to the documents, the Dept of Defense rejected EcoHealth Alliance's proposed coronavirus research because it was deemed "too dangerous" and "too close" to violating the gain-of-function research moratorium. According to the documents, the research later proceeded through NIAID under Dr. Fauci's leadership.

Video Transcript Summary
Detailed Summary of the X Post by James O'Keefe III (July 28, 2026)James O'Keefe (former Project Veritas founder, now with O’Keefe Media Group) reposted and highlighted a 2022 Project Veritas investigation. The post ties into current news about Dr. Anthony Fauci testifying before Senator Rand Paul’s committee. Core ClaimsThe investigation alleges that Project Veritas obtained never-before-seen Department of Defense (DoD) documents concerning:
- Gain-of-function (GoF) research on coronaviruses.
- Concealment of documents.
- Suppression of potential COVID-19 treatments.
These documents allegedly contradict Dr. Fauci’s congressional testimony.Key Details from the Documents (as Presented)- DARPA Rejection: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) rejected a proposal from EcoHealth Alliance (led by Peter Daszak) for coronavirus research. Reasons: It was deemed "too dangerous" and "too close" to violating the U.S. gain-of-function research moratorium.
- Proceeding Under Fauci/NIAID: Despite DARPA’s rejection, the research reportedly moved forward through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under Dr. Fauci’s leadership. It involved work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and several U.S. sites.
- Documents include internal DARPA communications, proposal summaries (e.g., PREEMPT BAA), budget packets, and analyses related to SARS-CoV-2 origins investigation.
Video Content (≈6.6 minutes, Project Veritas Production)The accompanying video is a narrated investigative piece featuring:- Scans of DARPA letters and memos (dated around August 2021) marked "UNCLASSIFIED," detailing the EcoHealth proposal review and references to specific file paths/folders.
- Clips of Sen. Rand Paul questioning officials.
- Statements from Dr. Steven Walker (former DARPA Director) on engineering microorganisms.
- Visuals of research concept slides (host-pathogen prediction, intervention development).
- Images of Peter Daszak and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
- A whistleblower-style letter emphasizing truth-seeking and moral courage.
- Denials from DARPA communications personnel.
- Narration by a Project Veritas representative ending with their slogan: “Be Brave. Do Something.”
Additional images in the thread show highlighted document excerpts, including:- DARPA memo header and subject line on SARS-CoV-2 origins.
- Specific rejection rationale tied to the GoF moratorium.
Context and ToneThe post frames this as evidence of government agencies bypassing safety concerns on risky research, with implications for COVID-19 origins and Fauci’s statements under oath. It positions Project Veritas as having exposed contradictions between official testimony and internal records.Engagement (as of fetch): ~4.8K likes, 1.3K reposts, 238K views — indicating significant traction in certain circles.This is a classic O’Keefe/Project Veritas-style release relying on leaked/internal documents, whistleblower material, and edited video to challenge official narratives around pandemic-related research.

“No one is going to jail.”
It could get interesting if any of the states’ AGs were to prosecute him for murders in their states.
I don’t want him to go to jail. I want his poked through the bottom of a Plexiglass box, and let fleas, ants, etc., slowly nibble away at his head. It could take weeks until his head is a rotting glob, but I’m comfortable with that.

Jessie Watters has been doing a good job of covering this story. He has even got ahold of Fauci’s diary.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Paul: “Dr. Faucci, why is the American taxpayer paying you to locate bio labs around the world to study bio warfare gain of function technology and is that money funneled to the NIH from the US Intelligence community”? And, is this a workaround to create mutually assured destruction with potential adversaries while technically complying with anti biological warfare treaties the the US has signed previously”?
Faucci: “Uhhh...on the advice of counsel I refuse to answer using the Fifth Amendment that to do so may incriminate me”.

Please let that evil little son of a bitch lie to Congress! Because even if the supposed pardon by Joe Biden is valid, it cannot possibly cover crimes subsequent to the pardon, and last I looked it was a crime to lie to Congress after swearing to tell the truth.

I’m guessing that he has MILLIONS and MILLIONS, maybe even a BILLION in OFF SHORE accounts under his wife’s name or his kid’s names, if he has any.

In 2014, Fauci wrote a colleague (Dr.) saying, “We need Gain of Function research, EVEN AT THE RISK OF PANDEMIC.”

“Debark him so his howls don’t bother the guards.”
Yes. Fauci did debark the beagles he tortured. What’s good enough for beagles is good enough for him.
This torture-of-animals thing is so horrendous. In hearings, interviews, etc., it seems to be overlooked. Even a caveman or Democrat would be able to comprehend the soul of a person who would do what he did.
