Spy chiefs “silenced” researchers in the Defense Department and FBI who discovered strong evidence that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese lab, The Post has learned. As a result, their findings were kept out of an August 2021 report to President Biden on the origins of the global pandemic. That report concluded that the virus behind COVID “was probably not genetically engineered.” After the pandemic erupted in Wuhan, China, three scientists from the Defense Intelligence Agency began trying to figure out exactly where it came from — whether SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats into humans, or whether the virus was...

Almost exactly two years ago RedState broke the story of the defection of CCP counterintelligence official Dong Jingwei to the United States. The “terabytes” of data Dong, the highest-ranking Chinese defector ever, brought with him to the United States included information and data showing “that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in addition to evidence confirming that the People’s Liberation Army managed the Wuhan bioweapons program (and others).” While it was essentially ignored by the mainstream media and dismissed by the professional former spook crowd, it was a huge story – so huge that RedState...

Peter Ben Emerek of the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaims it “extremely unlikely” that the coronavirus causing COVID-19 leaked from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). According to the WHO, the issue warrants no further study. But evidence is emerging that the Wuhan lab deliberately engineered the virus. The story begins in Canada. This month Canada removed Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, a virologist from Tianjin, China, and her husband, Keding Cheng, from the nation’s Public Health Agency because, as Karen Pauls of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported on February 6, the pair had previously been removed from Canada’s National Microbiology...

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 127 pages of records from the Georgia Institute of Technology of communications among four individuals. These records reveal that the individuals, who are mentioned in the Durham probe indictment of Michael Sussmann, worked with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) from 2016-2021. The documents also suggest the group was interested in targeting then-Trump campaign adviser Steve Bannon. Judicial Watch obtained the records through an October 13, 2021, Georgia Open Records Act request for records of communication among Rodney Joffe, April Lorenzen, David Dagon, and Manos Antonakakis. According to The New York Times:...

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 SummaryDetailed...

Former acting Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador Ric Grenell joined Lou Dobbs podcast recently to discuss the COVID-19 coverup. Ric told Lou that every single intelligence agency signed off on a statement back on April 30th of 2020 declaring China was responsible for the Covid pandemic. The intel agencies agreed that the virus originated in the Wuhan Virology Lab. Grenell goes on to say, “There was a cover-up.” According to Grenell: The Sec. of Energy recently came out with a statement that the Covid virus originated in the Wuhan laboratory, but we already knew that. Why make the statement...

As COVID cases and deaths began to soar in the spring of 2020, America desperately needed a trustworthy public-health leader. Instead, we got Dr. Anthony Fauci — and now his diary entries from that time are showing just how incredibly unworthy of the nation’s trust he truly was.Time and again, his private notes contradict what he was telling the world at the very same time, and the stories he’s spun up since to protect his unearned reputation.For starters, he insisted time and again that the “lab leak hypothesis” was a wacky conspiracy theory, that the virus had jumped naturally from...

Entries from early 2020 in a now-exposed personal diary kept by Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic show that he privately estimated the death rate from the illness was significantly lower than what he told Congress under oath only weeks later. Fauci, 85, has come under intense scrutiny for years regarding his approach leading the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, and his alleged links to the Chinese lab where the virus originated. He will return to Capitol Hill on Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to speak about his newly publicized personal records. "The...

Rand Paul released some bombshell documents on Monday proving that the authors of the now-infamous "Proximal Origins of COVID-19" were never confident that the virus was not engineered and had not escaped from a lab, and that their suspicions grew over time that it was. You may have missed this story because...almost nobody covered it, and those who did were all in the conservative media. The paper, used by the media and the COVID mafia to insist that COVID had a natural origin, was a total fraud, as were the authors who maintained in public the line Anthony Fauci wanted...

Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were preparing to question a British zoologist and disease ecology expert upon his return to the United States from the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19, before the FBI intervened and asked agents to stand down, according to files released Monday by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. "They told the public a COVID lab leak 'wasn’t plausible,'" Rand wrote on X. "Their own private messages say otherwise. Today I’m launching The Reading Room where the public can review records related to my ongoing investigation – not just conclusions but the...

Beni Rae Harmony reacts to Tulsi Gabbard dropping new COVID documents, alleging that Fauci lied and that U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to fund the Wuhan lab.

Science has learned that Morens, an influenza researcher who worked at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until 2022 and was an aide to its former director, Anthony Fauci, was having his morning coffee at his Chester, Maryland, home when he heard loud pounding on the door. He opened it to find a half-dozen federal agents carrying guns and wearing tactical gear, including bulletproof vests, according to two sources who spoke with him but asked not to be identified. Another team of officers stood in the distance and observed, as did neighbors. The agents did not...

A Chinese virologist is now hiding in the US in fear Beijing wants revenge for her spreading theories that the COVID-19 virus originated in a lab, a new report said. Dr. Li-Meng Yan left her family and became a regular on conservative news programs for questioning the popular narrative around the coronavirus pandemic — but now she’s scared Beijing is using her relatives to lure her back and commit “the perfect crime.” Yan had been working at a prestigious lab at the University of Hong Kong with her husband when the coronavirus pandemic broke out, with the new virologist quickly...

CIA officer James Erdman told the Senate's Homeland Security Committee that his employer suppressed its own assessments that COVID likely came from a lab. The former head of the Trump administration's investigation into COVID-19's origins told Congress today that the CIA actively frustrated his work by withholding records, retaliating against agency personnel who cooperated with the investigation, and surveilling investigators' computer and phone usage and contact with whistleblowers. "These were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the president and under the director of National Intelligence," James Erdman III, a current CIA officer who led the Office...

One is an event, two is a coincidence—but three is a pattern. On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that a third Chinese national has been nabbed for allegedly trying to smuggle biological materials into the United States. Making things more disturbing is a fact that a Hollywood screenwriter couldn’t have come up with: the smuggler was studying in, where else, Wuhan, China. You’ve heard of Wuhan, haven’t you? The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan released a statement alleging that Chengxuan Han, “a citizen of the PRC” (People's Republic of China), sent packages containing biological material...

A dangerous new coronavirus discovered in China could spark the next pandemic, scientists warn. American researchers say the new HKU5-CoV-2 virus is just one 'small' mutation away from being able to infect and cause outbreaks in humans. The discovery is causing alarm because the pathogen is closely related to MERS, a highly lethal virus that kills up to a third of those it infects. Adding to the controversy is the fact HKU5 was first documented in bats by researchers from the Chinese lab where Covid is feared to have leaked from. For the latest study, a team from Washington State...

Dr. Anthony Fauci was told in a secret teleconference that the CCP virus had very likely leaked from a laboratory in China, yet still pushed the alternate narrative that it had originated naturally, new evidence allegedly shows. Redacted emails that were recently made public suggest that Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), initiated efforts to cover up evidence pointing to a laboratory leak as the origin of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19. Evidence suggests that Fauci also actively shaped a highly influential academic paper first published on Feb. 16, 2020,...

The American media is doing its best to ignore the biggest news this week. Nope, not Covid’s fifth anniversary. You may have noticed that every legacy media outlet is reminding you it’s been exactly five years since the Little Epidemic That Could started its long chug into your lungs, or at least your upper respiratory tract. In reality, they’re as wrong about the date as everything else Covid. People started getting sick in Wuhan in December 2019. Or was it November? Maybe even October? Whatever, the Chinese have made sure we’ll never know. But it was March 11, 2020 when...

Chancellors Merkel and Scholz are said to have kept secret an explosive intelligence assessment of how the pandemic beganGerman spies were almost certain that the Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan laboratory, only for successive chancellors to bury the potentially explosive intelligence assessment, according to reports. Investigations by the newspapers Zeit and Süddeutsche Zeitung found that the chancellery of Angela Merkel commissioned the foreign intelligence agency, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), to assess the origins of the virus in 2020. The BND analysed public data and material obtained as part of an intelligence operation codenamed Saaremaa. This included scientific data...

Let’s get this straight. Dr. Fauci’s NIAID and USAID handed over $41 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—the same lab now linked to Ben Hu, the likely Patient Zero of COVID-19. And the kicker? That funding ended right before the pandemic started. (source here) [embedded image] This isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s all right there in FOIA-obtained documents exposing how EcoHealth Alliance acted as a middleman, shuffling money from the U.S. government to Chinese scientists working on gain-of-function experiments—the kind that make viruses deadlier and more transmissible. And where was all this happening? In a...
