This leaked PDF shows why they needed to protect themselves.
The proposed genetic spike protein manipulation submitted by NIH/Ecohealth alliance is identical to that of covid 19 spike protein. What are the chances of that?
This gets to the rotten heart of it. Masked civets, Fauci and all.
Plus Hydroxychloroquine.
Farrar genes.
One of the leaked emails states clearly that they knew back in April 2020 that HCQ, Ivermectin & Interferon all worked very well against Covid. So this was deliberately suppressed and I suspect millions died as a result.
Will we see Fauci and co. in court.
Nope.,
Following Andersen’s initial revelation that the virus looked “engineered” he was approached by gentlemen working on behalf of the Davos Deviants and presented with irrefutable evidence that his initial interpretation was wrong: his forthcoming death certificate.
Shades of ClimateGate. ‘We’ll just redefine what peer-review means if we have to.’
But this is hilarious: ‘Science…..it’s a process by which we gradually home in on the truth’.
What touching naivety, after all we have been through, to retain this kindergarten level of faith in the scientific process.
In reality, this thing called science has been hijacked by ego and research funding and political expediency and careerism, so all you have left now is a hollow husk into which mountebanks, hustlers and con-artists pour pre-mixed bullshit.
‘Science…..it’s a process by which we gradually home in on the truth’.
By hiding the truth for as long as possible.
“Business” overtook science long ago in the Pharma world.
Precisely! My dear Loopie,
I am glad you brought up the Climategate thing, because us old ‘uns have realised from the start the Wuflu and Global Warming are Siamese twins.
It is not commonly known – or maybe unknown – that the Pentagon, See Eye Ah have biological warfare Labs in over twenty five countries doing “gain of function” experiments on every thing from ticks, mosquitoes, mice and bigger primates all the way up to paying for the research in the Wuhan lab by producing human flu variants.
This research was switched from a lab in Georgia USA to Wuhan when the us got cold feet.
Of course Porton Down wouldn’t dream of doing anything like that
Btw did you know that the latest variant is alleged to come from mice?
Guess which country is overrun by the little buggers. A clue – they bar tennis champions
Gain of function research is no more “science” than a kid pulling the legs off a fly.
more like adding pathogenic legs to the fly
Protect communism in China, to protect communism as an end in itself.
So, it has been demonstrated that people in positions of authority are prepared to suppress the truth in order to avoid unnecessary harm to certain things.
Those are the key Qs. And I think we all know the answers.
Of course the fact that the White House squatter and his world renowned artist son, got 1.5 billion greenbacks from chinah has no bearing on this
The biggest virus is the corrupt scientists and led by that creature Fauci.
Three words:
Who funds them
The biggest problem for me right now is that the major sources of funding in these areas right now come from a very small number of sources (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the NIH) and those sources appear to have close links to the Chinese lab. Scientists are only human and will be very conscious that they depend on these large funders for their research grants and salaries.
Let’s have a recap….
The WHO change the definition of a pandemic,
week’s later the world is told by the very same WHO (controlled by China and Gates) that a new pandemic originating in the wet market’s of Wuhan is upon us.
The Drosten PCR test (that cannot confirm infection or infectiousness) is miraculously ready and waiting to go. Incidentally, said PCR test is eviscerated by leading scientists as “not fit for purpose”.
The new virological discovery of “asymptomatic infection” is the new boogyman that facilitates the first global lockdowns, despite previous WHO advice saying “lockdown” should not be used under any circumstances!
Let’s not forget, by this time every government on the planet is disseminating the same narrative. The REAL scientists begin to smell a giant Ratus Ratus and the alternative narrative commences….Questions are asked by leading epidemiologists and vaccinologists, the virus has distinct elements that point to GOF! Fauci and Farrar shit their pants and the silencing of the counter narrative begins in earnest. “Scientists shifted discussion to protect science in China” bollox. let’s look at the global geopolitical situation in 2020…China holds the West’s debt mountain and FIAT currency is fucked, are they seriously telling us they were protecting Chinese sience??? Follow the dot’s folk’s, Chinese style neo-feudalism is imminent, all planned for in conjunction with the West’s screwed banking system (in hoc to the Chinese) and it’s malevolenty compliant political/industrial/scientific complex, who think they’ll all have a seat at the global government table!….Unless Putin Invades Ukraine? Then all bets are off!
March 2020 – “The Great Pant-Shatting”
Don’t forget to mention that the WHO is now bankrolled and controlled by Gates also a close ally and partner of Fauci.
These people are all idiots if they think they will get a seat at the table. Look at history: who was Stalin most likely to bump off? his party members.
Who is the Stalin in this scenario though?
“The WHO change the definition of a pandemic,
week’s later the world is told by the very same WHO (controlled by China and Gates) that a new pandemic originating in the wet market’s of Wuhan is upon us.”
Actually that was done in 2009 in response to Swine Flu.
It is irrefutable that The Cabal used China as their launchpad for the scamdemic, what with the origins of the alleged novel virus (isolates of which have still not been produced so there is no defacto proof of a novel virus where there should be proof in abundance considering how high the stakes are) being in China and all the staged street collapses spewed out by the complicit criminal media – and I pray that the media is the focus of the lawyers when criminal prosecutions begin. (People like Steven Nolan have done nothing but antagonise and gaslight the public – as a side note try to find a copy of the First Responders Key Workers NHS special he did in the first few months of the Covid operation – it will make your blood boil). They are in the process of transferring the levers of power to the East – as Henry kissinger said, the world centre of gravity is being transferred from the Atlantic to the Pacific. When Kissinger says that, he is saying it on behalf of the people at the very top.
The Michael Senger paper goes into great detail to show how China was the driving force in the early days. But China is not the instigator here – a subject Senger avoids for some reason. Take for instance the fact that US research can be simply relocated to China. This shows the level of penetration of the US by hostile players. It is not in the interests of the US to be transferring umm…….everything it has ever produced, to China. But that is what has happened in a general sense, and Kissinger is one of the key players behind this, working on behalf of Rothschild, the East India Trading Company, Bank Of International Settlements and all the rest of it.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Global Lockdown Fraud

People like Senger always divert attention away from the real enemy. That is why we in the UK are always being led to believe that the threat is external when in fact the enemy lies within. It has been this way since they compromised Churchill in the late 1930’s..
Yes agreed, Senger is a limited hangout, managing perceptions
Churchill was a georgist the most anti-establishment/anti rent-seeking political group you can find.
So.
People are taking a vaccine (which doesn’t work), to prevent an infection caused by a virus, itself created by the same people who are pushing the vaccine, enabled by governments who have exaggerated the threat of the virus to ensure uptake, all while these same people own the patents on both the virus and the vaccine, making serious bank in the process.
Got ya.
And we are sacking healthcare workers because?
….and so enslave the World!
Now ask where the PPE we’re all being forced to wear is made.
Fauci currently fighting like a rat in a trap…but he has many “powerful friends”.
I’d bet that, if push comes to shove, it’ll turn out that Fauci was only their ‘useful idiot’ and therefore dispensible.
Fauci should have been imprisoned decades ago for a multitude of crimes against humanity. He has managed to manipulate himself into a position where if he goes down, governments go down too. His crimes are so great that in the worst case if the full truth came out there could be widespread unrest amongst western populations and the poor nations he has spent decades maiming and killing (with his mate Bill).
Thank you John Dee, you win the cocoanut.
He will have an encounter with a bus before long when he is no longer useful.
Meanwhile he is the highest paid govment employee in America
If this was manufactured in a lab – how come those pushing this agenda had to create the PCR genome sequence using computer software? Why does it exist only in virtual reality? Why wasnt the sequence actually found in humans?
it has, here’s an example
https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2020/212/10/isolation-and-rapid-sharing-2019-novel-coronavirus-sars-cov-2-first-patient
There’s also 7+ million isolations on Nextstrain, unless thousands of labs all over the world just kinda…made it up
They didnt isolate anything. They “confirmed the presence of virus particles “with morphology characteristic of viruses of the family Coronaviridae” and then used a PCR to compare the sample to the in silico (theoretical) genome sequence cobbled up by nefarious interests. When they got a match to the virtual reality genome, they said they had isolated it when in fact they hadnt isolated/purified anything.
Here is the leaked computer code they used to generate the sequence:
SELECT Genome FROM Fauci.GainOfFunction
WHERE Name = ‘BatFlu’;
DELETE FROM Fauci.GainOfFunction;
Are we finally going to start discussing the influence of China in the world?
There are rather too many people in rather too many positions of influence who rather admire the way the Chinese keeps the proles in line.
Are they NEW emails?
Del Bigtree did a segment on the Highwire with Jeffrey Jaxen several months ago in which they covered exactly the same issues. It’s possible that even more emails have come to light which provide further confirmation of possible wrongdoing but Deltree’s ICAN organisation began the FOI requests.
““further debate” about the lab leak theory could do “unnecessary harm” to science”
“debate” about “a theory” could “harm science”
any scientist that could write that is corrupted beyond redemption
Any scientist that could write that is not truly a scientist.
A case of ‘they scienced us with blindness’?
One mask factoid that’s probably true Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, study finds.
if you’re “in showbiz for ugly people” (polyticks) hiding your unattractiveness is the way to go.
It depends what the mask is hiding. It’s been a boon for butter face girls.
The virus appeared spontaneously in a market just down the road from a laboratory where the staff were doing “gain of function” experiments on viruses. Only a destructive conspiracy theorist could possibly think that there might be any connection!
They are playing us for fools.
Just like the leak from the UK lab was!
The evidence here is fascinating, illustrating ‘expert’ confirmation bias at work. Noah is right – it ain’t ‘science’.
There are two aspects to this : first, the faith in genomic sequencing as a means of determining an answer (I have no detailed knowledge, but I reckon the complexities involved deny authoritative solution), and,secondly, the priority given to protecting the validity of this gain of function research ahead of protecting that very ‘science’.
It has been obvious to me from the start that the possibility of a lab leak – given the geographical facts – is at least as likely as a natural mutation
3 specific genetic sequences found only in HIV
1 specific genetic sequence only found in Moderna Patents from 2015 (furin cleavage site)
All found together in the spike protein
The chance this was zoonosis? 1 BIllion to 1
https://arkmedic.substack.com/p/how-to-blast-your-way-to-the-truth
There’s an equal chance this came from UNC (Ralph Baric) rather than WIV
“Vaping Disease” with eerily similar symptoms to Covid-19 (including chest x-ray pathology) was found in NC Sept 2019
https://www.opb.org/news/article/vaping-sickened-number-doubles/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7186084/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7590536/
We need a complete morotorium on Gain of Function research, a full transparent enquiry to find the culprits, and new Nuremberg trials to stop these meglomaniacs and bring them to justice for the safety and interests of humanity.
Not to mention the 17 or so patents out on different parts of the virus… inc. Fauci…
If you read the ~yr 2000’s GoF papers, and watch those involved at various investor type presentations at pharma companies, the biggest problem to developing mRNA vaccines, was combatting the bodies T cells from destroying the vax before it could enter the cells. Those specific genetic sequences overcame that problem.
The next problem was getting the public to accept “gene treatments” when CEOs of big pharma were convinced 95% of the public would reject them, presumably from consumer questionaires. They needed a pandemic to overcome that problem.
Surely the important question is, was the lab leak, by accident or design & what lab did it actually come from?
Wuhan. It’s been in the news quite a lot. Back from the moon?
LOL. Critical thinking not your thing, huh?
“what lab did it actually come from?”
Really. Where the duck else? That’s where they were working on it, FFS. As many emails attest to. In a Biohazard Level 2 lab rather than the level 4 such lethal weapons are meant to be contained in. One commentator said – level 2 is not much safer or cleaner than a dentist’s surgery.
Never mind spraying it into the bat caves to infect the bats. And then develop vaxxes from that work.
Do some research. It’s all out there.
It was started in the American biological warfre lab in Georgia USA. When O’Bama realised the game was up , it got shut down and moved to the American sponsored lab in Wuhan.
Should have been North Carolina not Georgia, but American owned and used to unseat the real President and install the senile squatter in DC.
“The U.S. Defense Dept developed SARS-CoV-2 in North Carolina. The 4th Branch (Intelligence Community) wanted to use it. The Pentagon restarts funding for development of SARS-CoV-2 in partnership with Wuhan, China – setting up the cover story. The 4th Branch (Intelligence Community) then uses the virus by releasing it in/around Wuhan. Everything after that is simply part of the 4th Branch covering their tracks.
Wuhan, China becomes the patsy.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/10/02/did-the-fourth-branch-of-government-release-sars-cov-2-then-blame-china/
Ron Unz article supporting most of the above and the main articles series all listed.
https://www.unz.com/runz/is-the-tide-finally-turning-on-covid-as-an-american-biowarfare-attack/
That the virus already had many patents on it means that it had to be man made and that lab escape was the only way it could have got loose.
Got, or let, is the question. Along with Wuhan or UNC as another question.
“Buzzfeed obtained a large cache of emails sent to and by Anthony Fauci.”
Buzzfeed is funded by Soros.
These emails were written knowing full well the public would see them months down the line, as per the agenda. Do not fall for the lab leak theory.
I’m a quarter the way into Matt Ridley’s book, ‘Viral’ and it is a very interesting read.
The internet sleuths (mainly in India) are owed a debt of gratitude for holding these so called experts feet to the flames.
Joseph Mengele would probably be head of the WHO were he alive today.
