Republican Senators Slam Spy Chiefs Operating ‘in the shadows’ for ‘politicized’ COVID Origins Probe; Who Decided the US Intelligence Community Would Suppress Key COVID-Origin Research? and other C-Virus related stories
Republican senators slam spy chiefs operating ‘in the shadows’ for ‘politicized’ COVID origins probe:
Republican senators slammed US spy chiefs on Friday for operating “in the shadows” to cover up bombshell evidence of COVID-19 leaking out of a Chinese lab — and renewed calls for a thorough independent investigation of alleged meddling by political appointees into the pandemic’s origins.
“For years, we’ve exposed the federal government’s role — especially the Intelligence Community — in concealing the origins of COVID-19, with the Biden administration complicit every step of the way,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) told The Post.
“For this reason, I recently wrote to the Intelligence Community’s Office of Inspector General, giving these authorities records and additional critical support to launch an investigation into potential integrity breaches in the intelligence community COVID origins assessment process,” he said.
“The US Intelligence Community operates in the shadows, but I will keep demanding sunlight, pushing for transparency and accountability, and fighting for answers for every American lost in this devastating pandemic,” Marshall added.
In the first year of the pandemic, Defense Department and FBI scientists uncovered evidence that the virus causing COVID-19 had likely been engineered and later erupted in Wuhan, China, after a lab accident.
However, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines never presented their findings to President Biden, sources familiar with the compiling of the agency’s August 2021 report told The Post on Thursday.
That evidence included a 2008 scientific study from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) showing Chinese researchers — like the infamous “bat lady” Dr. Shi Zhengli — had optimized viruses for easier transmission to humans and trained up on their techniques while collaborating with a US lab in Texas years before the pandemic.
It also comprised a highly detailed genomic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 as well as proof that the WIV scientists learned how to stitch new viruses together seamlessly, making it difficult to see whether the resulting virus is manufactured or not.
But the trio of scientists at the Defense Intelligence Agency’s National Center for Medical Intelligence who revealed dozens of data points in favor of a so-called “lab leak” were “silenced” by their superiors and told to stop collaborating with the FBI on their parallel COVID origins probes, according to the sources. —>READ MORE HERE
Who decided the US intelligence community would suppress key COVID-origin research?
News that top US intelligence officials in 2021 suppressed research pointing to a Chinese lab leak as COVID’s origin raises two key questions: Exactly who, and why?
That is, who made the call to keep Defense Department and FBI input out of the August 2021 briefing to President Biden on the issue, and out of the resulting official federal finding that COVID most likely arose naturally?
And, indeed, to also block Sen. Charles Grassley’s requests for the Defense research?
We know that Dr. Anthony Fauci and his public-health cronies had fought from the start to discredit all lab-leak talk.
Their motive is obvious enough: Since they’d funded related (at least) research at that Wuhan lab, they feared a backlash — against them personally, and/or against such research and its funding.
But why would the US intelligence community cover for Beijing, which would clearly bear the chief blame for cooking up a plague and then unleashing it on an unsuspecting world?
The most likely explanation is that someone decided that the rest of the world would also blame the US government as a whole, maybe even more than it did China’s rulers — so it was best to cover the whole thing up. —>READ MORE HERE
