I wrote recently about the origins of the pandemic and who knew what and when, noting that both the U.S. and China clearly knew about the virus earlier than they have admitted and both are still engaged in a cover-up of what really happened and what they knew.
Here, after a brief recap, I want to look more closely at who isn’t involved in the cover-up, or not entirely, and what that tells us.
It’s clear that China is covering up both the lab origin of the virus and early spread prior to December 2019. As a new report from independent research group DRASTIC, summarised in the Washington Post, reminds us, within hours of the first public announcement of “pneumonia of unknown origin” by the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission on December 30th 2019, a second notice appeared warning “not to disclose information to the public without authorisation”. This lack of transparency continued, with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) issuing gag orders, punishing ‘whistleblowers’, hiding key Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) virus data, not cooperating with investigations and failing to acknowledge early cases which undermine the wet market origin story. While some such cases from November 2019 were leaked to the South China Morning Post, the CCP has never officially acknowledged them.
It’s also clear that U.S. scientists are covering up the lab leak and not cooperating with the investigation – which was the reason Jeffrey Sachs disbanded the Covid origins taskforce which formed part of the Lancet Covid commission he was chairing, perceiving severe conflicts of interest and a basic lack of cooperation. As recently as July 2022, two NIH-funded studies involving Kristian Andersen and others claimed to find conclusive evidence for the wet market theory, despite there now being reams of evidence for international spread of the virus before December 2019, which the studies failed even to acknowledge.
The U.S. CDC likewise is covering up the early spread of the virus as part of its lab leak cover-up, and has refused to acknowledge or investigate the presence of the virus in the U.S. before Jan 18th 2020 despite all the evidence that now shows this to be a fact.
So who isn’t involved in the cover-up? The World Health Organisation (WHO) does not appear to be. Back in June 2020, the WHO encouraged countries to look properly into early spread. As the Guardian reported: “The WHO has urged countries to investigate any other early suspicious cases, so that the circulation of the virus can be better understood, encouraging doctors to check records for pneumonia cases of unspecified origin in late 2019.”
The February 2021 WHO mission to Wuhan also said it looked like early spread was wider, as the Huffington Post reported:
Investigators from the World Health Organisation (WHO) have since said they’ve discovered signs the outbreak was wider in Wuhan in December 2019 than previously thought. Peter Ben Embarek, lead investigator, told CNN they’d established for the first time there were over a dozen strains of the virus in Wuhan already in December. Separately, Professor John Watson, part of the WHO team that travelled to China to investigate the origins of the pandemic, said [in February 2020] the virus which causes COVID-19 may not have even originated in the country.
Thus while the CCP and U.S. Government agencies are covering up the lab leak and early spread, the WHO appears to be highly suspicious of what they are hiding and is pushing for much more investigation and greater transparency – though with little success.
What about U.S. intelligence – where do they stand? In the declassified intelligence report of October 2021, the U.S. intelligence community (IC) claims a consensus view that the virus probably emerged “no later than November 2019”, with the “first known cluster of COVID-19 cases arising in Wuhan, China in December 2019”. This is a clear denial of early spread, and is at odds not only with all the evidence for that but also with the IC’s own earlier briefings to the press. These state that the U.S. had intelligence on the spread of an unusual virus in November “in the form of communications intercepts and overhead images showing increased activity at health facilities”, and that the U.S. military “then alerted NATO and the [Israeli] IDF of the outbreak precisely at the end of November”.
The declassified intelligence report also states that most U.S. IC agencies “assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered” and that “China’s officials did not have foreknowledge of the virus before the initial outbreak of COVID-19 emerged”. The second statement is contradicted by the press briefings about intercepted communications, and the first statement leaves us wondering why so many people are keen to cover up the origin of the virus.
The declassified report also states that all U.S. intelligence agencies which take a view bar one deem the virus to be of natural origin (though with “low confidence”). However, one intelligence agency did back the lab leak origin (with “moderate confidence”). This is the National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), which looks out for unusual health events that could affect the military. We may reasonably surmise, then, that it is the NCMI which was the source of the press briefings about the November Chinese outbreak. The NCMI is also likely to have had a hand in the recent U.S. Senate report that concluded a lab leak is likely and that spread began in October. This is still late, given other evidence, including a blood sample positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antibodies in Lombardy in September 2019, but nonetheless it flatly contradicts the declassified report claim of a November emergence “at the latest”. Dr. Robert Malone has called the Senate report a “limited hangout” from the intelligence community, not least because it studiously omits any reference to U.S. involvement in the research at the WIV. It also still denies early spread outside China, including in the U.S.
Apart from the NCMI, has anyone else from the IC backed the lab origin theory and early spread? Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe (who served 2020-21) and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (2018-2021) have come out hard in favour of the lab leak theory, though notably only after they left post. This appears to be all.
Thus from this we can say with some confidence that the U.S. intelligence community appears to be part of the cover-up of the early spread and lab origin of the virus, with just one exception of an agency willing to publicly acknowledge the contrary evidence, plus two former senior officials. That’s a lot of powerful people who don’t want the truth to get out.
Lastly, here’s a neat potential giveaway that the CCP knew about the virus’s lab origin from mid-November 2019. The Senate report notes that on November 19th 2019, a senior Chinese Academy of Sciences biosecurity official relayed “important oral and written instructions” from the leadership in Beijing to the WIV that referred to the “complex and grave situation facing [bio]security work”. Notably, this description is almost identical to the description of the Wuhan outbreak used privately on January 14th 2020 by the head of the CCP National Health Commission in a teleconference with provincial officials as China prepared to pivot from ignoring to suppressing the virus, where he called the situation “severe and complex”. But what was so “complex” about the outbreak they were so eager to cover up? The only thing that could make it “complex” and in need of concealment was its connection to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The only debate was intentional vs accidental ‘leak’ in the deployment of a gain of function bio weapon. Considering that the scamdemic was planned it must have been intentional.
Odd that the US has 300 bio labs worldwide and 30 in the Uketopia. Even odder that the US supply chain for cheap textiles and plastics, the CCP, was involved. I thought the CCP was a mortal enemy, after Vladssia of course. Yet there they are.
The Criminal US government with its criminal alphabet soup agencies, and criminal political families, with the criminal Fauci led CDC playing bio weapon games with China and apparently in the Uketopia were playing with smallpox and ebola gain of function (and laundering money). All to create the NWO.
The greatest threat to civilisation is the US Fed government. There are 2 ways to an NWO. ‘Health and Safety’, or ‘Climate Thingy’. I guess the criminals will merge them quite soon.
Yep, the only question since day 1 was really whether it was accident or intent, it was pretty obvious it had been leaked from a lab. Simply the fact that they went in so hard to deny this and crush any suggestion of a leak said enough.
As for merging the two – I think they did that long ago. Look at the language of the climate scam – food security, water security, energy security.
Public Health England, a perfectly fine and clear name, was changed to the UK Health Security Agency. The language regarding health, pandemics and the like all revolve around the word ‘security’. It’s a strong word, the idea behind it is that only a collective, a government, can provide ‘security’. Insidious. Any time someone uses the word ‘security’ in a serious sense, as far as I’m concerned they may as well be calling up satan.
Already merging…Bingo!

Climate change is making migraines, strokes and DEMENTIA more severe and common, review claims
PUBLISHED: 16 November 2022
Because they’re hamstrung by Ofcom rules ensuring only strict propaganda is published, I’m not sure some of the MSM aren’t deliberately making their health stories as absurd as possible. It’s a magic eye trick. If you stare at the words ‘climate change’ for long enough, they turn into ‘Covid vaccine damage’.
The debate about whether it was accidental or intentional may be worth following, if it ever results in a true result. But the underlying issue is: Why is anything of that kind done at all? Who benefits from it? We know that many organisations exist globally that are publicly funded, such as the MoD one, based at Porton Down, though.
The aftermath of it all is almost a separate exercise, but it has caused a huge amount of damage, and has occupied many of us for a long time. Interesting times.
By using a holographic ‘pandemic’ to emasculate #Trump and #Brexit , an existential threat to #NATO was ‘defeated’ . Coincidentally #NATO are the only candidate with the organisation and resources to pull off #TheGreatCovid19Fraud …. Look no further
The extreme nature of the covid reaction makes a lot of sense if you assume it was a leak that the CCP and US intelligence/deep state knew about. Two more powerful and nefarious organisations you would struggle to find. The question now is who else got “read in”.
Another ground-breaking article from Will, and an interesting new perspective. An obvious and fundamental question: who wasn’t involved in the scam, at least in the early days.
Slowly, so slowly, the truth is emerging. Trouble is, the more truth that leaks out the uglier the whole damned thing becomes. And the less confidence we can have in any of our governmental institutions.
Time for a reset all right, but not the one that lot have in mind. As the Bad Cat says: ‘Become ungovernable’.
That’s my plan, in my own small way I shall be refusing to do as I’m bid.
The important part that’s missing is the acceptance of what this actually means.
None of these organisations have come out and said that the lab was responsible for millions of deaths.
Not simply by releasing the virus — that might be an accident and maybe the ‘value of the research’ would have justified the risk (doubt it, but it is potentially true). But there could well have been millions of deaths simply because the lab/government concerned didn’t warn immediately that the virus had been released, and offered information about the intention of the research and the stage that the development had reached.
They’ve also not discussed the problems caused by the world’s governments refusing to investigate at an early stage, and the harm caused by deplatforming anyone that said it might have been a lab leak in those crucial early months.
And there’s little discussion about forcing the end of this type of research at international level.
The WHO recently announced their plans for
world dominationthe next pandemic, which mainly involves (experimental, expensive) vaccines, (experimental, expensive) treatments and restrictions to freedoms for anyone who doesn’t comply. There was no mention of cheap generic treatments, forcing countries to own up to mistakes or limiting the more risky types of research (eg, gain of function). There was also no mention of their multitude of mistakes throughout the pandemic — the WHO still insist that they were pivotal in saving us all and that everything they did was great (including still talking about vaccines to prevent spread, where the experience for the Covid pandemic is that their vaccines have been a massive failure). We really need a fundamental review of their performance, but they appear to have placed themselves beyond criticism (a politician’s dream).I think Will’s assessment here and the various flip floppings of the WHO on locksdowns etc. demonstrate that it is just the useful idiot, the chosen shill, to execute the plans of those who are really in power.
That way, they can shift the blame on it if it goes wrong AND cover their own tracks.
The future is pretty bleak at the moment. Technology, mass communication and globalisation appear to have allowed institutions and governments worldwide to be captured and public opinion and behaviour very effectively manipulated. Virtually every check and balance virtually everywhere in the rich world failed almost completely, at least for a while. The levels of evil are horrifying.
There’s always been evil and plotting for power and money by unscrupulous b’stards. Not sure this is that extraordinary, other than how extensive it is and can be thanks to tech.
What I find horrifying is the levels of stupidity and blindness among what are supposed to be educated populations, to whom the information is freely available. The political puppets literally tell you they are going to make your life more miserable, literally tell you they intend to cut your food supply, to cut your energy supply, literally tell you to keep pumping useless poison into your body even as the bodies pile up, blatantly violate constitutions and fundamental rights, which they freely admit to doing, while at the same time giving themselves pay rises, eating extravagant meat-based meals and flying in private jets and chauffeur-driven limos.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government […]”
What is extraordinary is the comprehensive, global nature of the takeover.
Absolutely this – the global scale, particularly among the so-called democratic societies of the West – who are using our own human rights legislation to rape us.
One of the current Dutch government coalition parties,
Fascists66Democrats66, in the past week alone tried first to have a political opponent prosecuted for something he never even said. When it was pointed out on a talk show to a former leader of that party (who had to resign after a sex harassment scandal and having received questionable ‘gifts’) by lawyers that the politician in question had said nothing against the law, the former leader replied that the law needed to be changed then. The current leader of this party, EU-ho supreme Sigrid Kaag has been whipping up her party and supporters to agree that it should be possible for the government to forbid political parties – no one feels the need to point out that she is specifically referring to a political party that is a keen opponent of her party.When Putin or Erdogan does this these same people scream of human rights violations, when they do it, it’s protecting democracy.
This has all been engineered, and clearly the primary targets are the education system and middle classes of the West, as they stand in the way of these vile b’stards impoverishing millions of people and giving themselves feudal powers. The only glimmer of hope I have is that the many useful idiots helping them are the same people who this time next year will be on booster no. 55, if the clot shot hasn’t killed them in the meantime.
Seconded.
Liberal politicians used to value democracy and freedom of speech.

An excellent post Jane.
The point is the Covid19 virus was never that dangerous, and ‘they ‘ knew it. All ‘they’ needed was something ‘tagged’ to differentiate it from normal pneumonia, in order to use unprecedented testing to spread fear and panic, justifying the use of ’emergency powers’ to make possible the largest ‘social engineering’ experiment since Stalin’s Russia …
