Investigative Journalist and Author Sharri Markson Reveals How Dr. Fauci Restarted Gain of Function Research After Obama Administration Stopped it


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 28, 2021 | Sundance | 244 Comments

Perhaps the last half of this interview explains why the mainstream media are now willing to let Anthony Fauci take the heat for the Wuhan Bio-Lab leak.  The entire interview with Australian investigative journalist Sharri Markson is well worth watching.  The first major point was how Anthony Fauci was arguing against scientific consensus to keep allowing “gain of function” biological experimentation with deadly viruses.  Fauci advocated for weaponization research in 2012, the scientific community was against it because of the inherent risks.

The second major point was President Obama stopping gain of function research in 2014 due to the global risk of a leak from a lab.  Then in 2017, in the first year of the Trump administration, unbeknownst to senior officials in the administration, NIH Director Anthony Fauci pushed through a restart of the dangerous research.

Obama stopping and Fauci unilaterally starting would explain why the media are willing to step aside and let Fauci take the fall.  Defending and protecting President Obama are the primary objectives of the MSM and operatives embedded in the administrative state.  Now the sudden shift makes sense.  Those in the umbrella intelligence apparatus knew this type of investigative evidence was going to surface.

Senate Republicans Block Formation of January 6th Commission, The Election Narrative of The DC UniParty


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 28, 2021 | Sundance | 90 Comments

Six members of Mitch McConnell’s DeceptiCon caucus voted with senate democrats to support the commission.  The usual tribe: Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Rob Portman of Ohio all supported the commission.  Pat Toomey (PA) would have supported, but he was absent for the vote.

The final vote was 54-35.  All of the supporting DeceptiCons also voted to convict former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial earlier this year.

The senators who did not vote (absent) include: Blackburn (R-TN), Blunt (R-MO), Braun (R-IN), Burr (R-NC), Inhofe (R-OK), Murray (D-WA), Risch (R-ID), Rounds (R-SD), Shelby (R-AL), Sinema (D-AZ) and Toomey (R-PA).

In 2012 Dr Fauci Advocated for Gain of Function Research Despite Admitting the Risk of Creating a Global Pandemic


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 28, 2021 | Sundance | 149 Comments

A rather interesting research discovery of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s previous statements reveals a motive for him to be so defensive now about supporting “gain of function” research.  ‘Gain of Function’ is essentially researching how to weaponize lethal viruses to make them even more deadly as biological weapons.

Some in the scientific community claim the “gain of function” research actually helps to develop proactive vaccinations and mitigation against those lethal viruses.  However, the risk of a virus getting out of a bioweapons laboratory and infecting people has always been present.

An article written in Australia [unfortunate paywall], discovers in 2012 Dr. Anthony Fauci was questioned about this exact scenario and he took the position: the benefits outweigh the risks of releasing a pandemic virus.   Now that more evidence is surfacing showing the COVID-19 coronavirus was likely made in one of these bioweapons labs in Wuhan China, the previous statements by Dr. Fauci take on a new context.

(SCREEN GRAB SOURCE)

In his congressional testimony around the same time in 2012, Fauci repeated his view that accidentally creating a global pandemic was worth the scientific risk.

In his testimony the term “dual use” research is essentially synonymous with “gain of function”.   The dual aspect is (1) creating an antidote to the natural virus; and (2) weaponizing the virus as a bioweapon.   The “gain of function” term is the actual process of creating the weaponized virus.

WATCH:

Once we realize that COVID-19 was actually a weaponized man-made virus; then it begs the question of whether a malicious actor with political intentions would purposefully release the virus.   This type of query actually explains the vitriolic responses from Big Tech, corporate media and their benefactors, when the Wuhan lab leak theory first was discussed.

The reason those interests would not want any discussion of a lab leak is because once you accept that origination point, it’s not too much further to start questioning whether the lab leak was accidental or purposeful.

President Trump Swings Back at Paul Ryan and the DeceptiCons

I must say this part of THE BIG UGLY brings a smile to my face.  The more President Trump can call out the DeceptiCons the more people will wake up to just how manipulated and corrupted the Republican party has become.

There was no doubt in my mind that Paul Ryan was positioning himself to lead the “establishment” republican wing of the UniParty.  However, in reality, Paul Ryan as a candidate for Vice-President in 2012 received less votes in his own state of Wisconsin than candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020.  The ‘America First’ national agenda, both economically and in larger global terms, was not represented in either wing of the UniParty system until Donald Trump came into politics.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “RINO Paul Ryan, who became a lame duck Speaker of the House, lost all vote-getting capability with the people he represented in Wisconsin, and was the single biggest factor, other than Romney himself, for the monumental Romney/Ryan loss in the Presidential race of 2012 (I got more votes by far, 75M, than any sitting president in history!), and he is now speaking to other Republicans telling them how to win elections. Interestingly, I was in the Great State of Wisconsin when they booed him off the podium—I literally had to come to his rescue.

Ryan should instead be telling them how to stop the cheating of elections and that we would have won if Republican leadership fought the way the Democrats did.

It was the day that Ryan went on the board of Fox (Fox will never be the same!) that Fox totally lost its way and became a much different place, with millions of its greatest supporters fleeing for good. Paul Ryan has been a curse to the Republican Party. He has no clue as to what needs to be done for our Country, was a weak and ineffective leader, and spends all of his time fighting Republicans as opposed to Democrats who are destroying our Country.

As a Republican, having Paul Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss, for both you, the Party, and America itself!” (link)

As the House Speaker Paul Ryan undercut President Trump at every turn in the first two years of his administration.  Ryan’s duplicity included his unwillingness to support Devin Nunes and other House chairman in their subpoena efforts against the bad actors in the intelligence community.  Paul Ryan was, in deliberate terms, knowingly and with specific intent, protecting the corrupt DC interests.

Yes, it is something he would rather people not remember, but it was Speaker Paul Ryan who blocked republicans in the House from issuing subpoenas in 2017 and 2018 for the election surveillance and FBI lies against President Trump.  It is also worth remembering that Paul Ryan’s leadership PAC funded democrat Conner Lamb in the 2018 mid-term election after Ryan announced his intended departure.

Paul Ryan has always been the type of DeceptiCon who could get the CPAC audience to stand and cheer for him only minutes after passing a massive omnibus spending package to support President Obama.  Thus the UniParty maneuvers are always present; including when Ryan said: “I am not going to defend Trump – not now, and not in the future.”

Additionally, former House Speaker Paul Ryan previously held a fundraising event for Liz Cheney (March 2021), and Paul Ryan recently announced he will host a fundraising event for Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger.. ..

A week after saying any Democrat who made the 2020 presidential race about “Trump’s personality” will beat him, Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch hired Paul Ryan to serve as a board member for the news organization.  This announcement followed on the heels of Fox News hiring the former head of the DNC, Donna “Debate-Gate” Brazile, as a contributor.  Yes, it is clear to see the direction and intent of Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch.

It must also be remembered that in 2013 Fox News worked behind the scenes to facilitate the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform platform.  Additionally, a year later, Murdoch himself advocated for Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio as the preferred candidates in 2016, using Megyn Kelly to achieve their objective.

Yes, it is all one unfortunate, political and ideological continuum.

What Moral High Ground?


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com MAY 27, 2021 AT 10:44 AM

Democrats never had the Moral high ground in the first place

The Socialist Democrats have become the party of medical tyranny.

Their goal has always been bigger government and more authoritarianism and the masks and vaccinations help further that goal. It’s no wonder some on the left say they will continue to wear the slave masks just to differentiate themselves from conservatives. That’s their virtue signaling prerogative, but it’s good to see less people sporting the face diapers and more people wanting to maintain their freedom of choice.

That goes for taking dangerous inoculations, too. The authoritarian state desperately wants us all to take the shots. They’re even offering money bribes now. Why? The cases of COVID-19 are collapsing. The mortality rate was always very low. There was no pandemic. There is no need to turn Americans into lab rats with dangerous, under-tested, and experimental vaccines. Thousands have died from the poisoned needles and many more have experienced severe side effects.

Many Republicans pushed for vaccinations as well—including Rand Paul. However, he’s now refusing the shots and that’s good to hear. He had the virus and claims natural immunity, but the pro-vaccine hysteria is strong among the left and Paul actually received death threats for refusing the jabs.

Fauci, Gates, the Democrats, and social media such as Face Book have lost the moral high ground. They never did possess it in the first place, but that was the perception corporate media kept shoveling at us.

Fauci is now a proven liar. He lied to Congress. He’s a disingenuous flip-flopper and glory seeker.

Bill Gates was friends with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER the latter was convicted as a pedophile. Gates claims it’s because he thought Epstein had the string-pulling means to bring him the Nobel Peace Prize. Sure, Bill. We know what you were really after.

Facebook has behaved in a disgusting, anti-free speech manner. Apparently Zuckerberg wants to emulate communist China and his best buddy, President Xi. Both want the speech of citizens carefully controlled. Facebook would not allow anyone to drift from the ‘official’ virus narrative and if someone questioned whether or not that virus came from China’s bioweapons lab in Wuhan, then they were smeared as a conspiracy nut and banned. The traitorous Zuckerberg has Xi’s back.

My cartoons have been banned many times on Facebook and we are currently banned for 7 days simply for expressing weariness with masks and vaccines.

The pro-mask, pro-vaccine crowd is rapidly descending toward the immoral low ground.

Collapse in Confidence by Refusal to Vaccinate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted May 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty,

If people trusted the government, then the vaccine campaign would have been successful. The fact they are using money to induce personal choice is telling. The fact they have surplus dosis to send overseas is clear proof. The fact the change in the mask guidelines is still being resisted by Biden and his people says this is not over. They wanted to lock down the economy after entering office. There was no broad based support. And with the rollout of the vaccines, they thought this would give them cover. But the protection of Big Pharma against lawsuits, the cases of deaths from the vaccine and failure of Europe to reopen is proof both continents want to remain closed. Vaccines, in theory, real vaccines, will work much of the time. Not today. This is biological warfare. Our government failed to protect its people. And now it’s attacking its people for not taking the vaccine, a double whammy. And censoring those who oppose them.

Governments are into symbolism. Ours dropped nuclear weapons on Japan to show the Russians we had it, not to defeat Japan which was already broken. Symbolically, the failed campaign is like the one you often refer to when the Roman emperor was captured by the Persians and turned into a footstool. Panic ensued. We are close to panic today. It won’t take much to unleash it. Perhaps another lockdown. Perhaps forcing vaccinations. But if the vaccine was their answer to the problem they created, what do you suppose will be their penalty for not listening to them? And separating people into groups between vaxxed and non vaxxed, picking sides, do you think that brings unity, or separation? This is by design to force their choice on others….oligarchy, not democracy.

REPLY:  The date May 8th, 2021 was 31.4 years from the turn in the Economic Confidence Model 1989.95 which marked the collapse of Communism. This date to me marks something far more profound than just a turn in markets. It represents a similar collapse in Socialism. I know people say I am wrong and it is Capitalism that is collapsing. They are confusing Capitalism with Corruption. The collapse in Socialism is the fact that these people have been borrowing year after year with NO INTENTION of ever repaying the national debt.

They have engaged in a child’s game of musical chairs. The bond traders buy and sell just punting. Now that Europe moved to negative rates in 2014. they are trapped and cannot raise rates but at the same time, they have destroyed their bond market. This is the collapse of Socialism for all they can do now is claim COVID to justify just expanding the money supply to cover their promises and at the same time, this is when they move into high-gear to try to seize assets and taxes. You have Biden pushing a global minimum corporate tax of 15%.

The fact that the MAJORITY of people have rejected the vaccine despite call all of us conspiracy theorists and Nazi-like Alt-Right, perhaps the silver lining here is that those getting the vaccines if there are any serious long-term side-effects, they will be culling their own herd who believes that the government, like a prostitute, really loves them.

Dr Fauci – the Politician & Stooge of WEF


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted May 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While Babylon Bee just did a roast of the lovable Dr. Fauci who keeps changing his recommendations and claims almost on a weekly basis, has suddenly said he does not believe that COVID is natural. Hm. I seriously question what is going on now. I have written about how I KNOW that a warning came from those in the know that a “virus was coming” and that Gates began selling stock in December 2019 and Klaus Schwab sold his positions even for the World Economic Forum also ahead of the crash in Jan/Feb 2020.

Babylon Bee may be satire, but they are also making a very real point. Fauci is the most unreliable person I have ever seen in the political area – EVER! He constantly contradicts himself without end. Babylon Bee has him debating with himself because he never tells the truth about anything and says whatever the agenda is at that moment. He knows the mainstream press will never expose him, so why bother to tell the same lie consistently?

WedMD reported: “Feb. 23, 2021 — Americans may still need to wear face masks through 2022 to protect against the spread of the coronavirus and emerging variants, Anthony Fauci, MD, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday.” On May 14, 2021, The New York Post reported: “Unvaccinated kids still need to wear masks, especially indoors: Fauci.” The previous day Fauci said: “‘You don’t have to wear it’: Fauci on masks for vaccinated people outside.” Yet all the studies which Fauci originally said at the start showed that masks were “useless” as published by the American Communist Newspaper – the Washington Post. Fauci admitted that wearing a mask had nothing to do with health or safety.

From the start, I warned that COVID was not a biological weapon or its kill-ratio would have been much higher. I believe it was orchestrated and someone was simply paid to release it from Wuhan perhaps $50,000 or $100,000 bribe and that did NOT come from the Chinese government but from this same group pushing the Great Reset. I also KNOW for a fact that the Build-Back-Better slogan was being thrown around at Davos at the beginning of 2019 about one year before COVID was released.

All of a sudden, Fauci now suddenly comes out and says that he is “not convinced” that COVID is “natural” and says an investigation should be made. Snopes, the most UNRELIABLE fact-checker perhaps on the planet, which is so biased they do nothing but preach the agenda, it besides itself. Snopes does everything in their power to undermine society possible. They have been calling the Wuhan Lab leak a conspiracy theory from the start.

Even the story that Fauci was shut down on his gain-of-function research and sent it to Wuhan, Snopes has desperately twisted facts and searched for the tiniest way to label that as a conspiracy theory. Here they denied it was $3.7 million Fauci gave Wuhan, they claim, only $700,000.

Babylon Bee wrote:

“The virus was created in a lab!” present-day Fauci said indignantly, causing past Fauci to wag his finger and shake his head emphatically.

“No, no, no, that’s a deranged conspiracy theory!” past Fauci said. “It’s practically alt-right! Didn’t you check Snopes? Anyway, at least we can agree we should wear double masks forever.”

The Senate passed a conspiracy theory demanding that the White House declassify everything to do with Wuhan. Fauci suddenly said he does not believe COVID is “natural” not for a split second that he is being honest. If the Democrats are in charge of an investigation, they will NEVER reveal the truth and this is more theatre to set the stage to blame China to get the people to also hate China in case they invade Taiwan to support a war.

What is going on? Those canceling everyone who dared to question the party-line are having to reverse themselves. What happens to goose-stepping and spouting out the party line labeling everything a conspiracy theory without ever questioning a single word? Gee! What will Snopes do now? Facebook had to reverse its policy of banning all posts that dared to question that COVID was man-made. They do not even want anyone to talk about how the CDC admits that over 10,000 people fully vaccinated have still gotten COVID. Will they have to reverse themselves on that next?

The mainstream press paints Fauci as a saint. He does not need to learn how to swim, he can simply walk to China across the Pacific. This is just another part of the Great Manipulation by the LEFT. The mere fact that Fauci appeared in a World Economic Forum video preaching inequality is the #1 problem, I believe this entire scheme was a leak that was paid for by the supporters of the Great Reset so they could change the world into their GREEN playground. Will history remember Fauci as a Saint or the modern-day version of Dr. Josef Mengele? My money is on the latter.

People ask me will I get vaccinated? The answer is no! I have taken other vaccines and will occasionally get the flu shot. My concern is NOTHING these people say is trustworthy. When the government is desperately involved in trying to force people to get vaccinated, that raises a red flag in my mind not to trust anything anymore. After working with politicians all my life, I know one thing regardless of the party – they cannot admit a mistake. So if they discovered this vaccine ended up sterilizing children, they would NEVER admit it and blame it on global warming. In this case,

Vaccines Are for Sheep?

COMMENT #1: Hello Marty,

I hope you are well.

We are living in a “crazy” world. Some states are desperately trying to bribe people to get their poisonous shots. Here in Ohio, there is a program called, Ohio vax a million, where Ohio residents can have a “chance” to win a million dollars or full ride scholarship to the OSU once you get the vaccination! This program is led by the Ohio Department of Health!

Stay healthy.

COMMENT #2: While NYC is bribing people with a 5 Million dollar lottery in Toronto, Ontario they are bribing children with free ice cream. At 3:00 minutes an emotional standoff between mothers and the police at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

COMMENT #3: Marty, It’s amazing how the capitalist system has become so distorted, used by business and government alike, to manipulate people like lab rats. The failure of the vaccine campaign now is evident for all to see. The “carrot or the stick” approach.

States are rolling out lotteries to get people to get the jab, to boost vaccines, supposedly allowing the government to relax restrictions on business and schools, to get back to normal. In businesses, some are threatening loss of jobs; others are providing time off, other incentives, to encourage their workforce to get vaccinated. The threat of job loss is illegal, but it doesn’t prevent them from using this to induce action.

Airlines like United are offering free flights to those vaccinated. Now city governments like that in Chicago are segregating those going to restaurants, those who can dine who are vaxxed, free to dine and move around, and those unvaxxed, segregated.

You can’t make this stuff up! At some point, all those who wanted to get the jab, and those motivated by financial incentives, will have gotten it. Leaving more than half the population unvaccinated. Then what? Any bet Biden and state governments mandate more policy actions aimed at intimidating non vaxxers, using those already vaxxed as their hammer? Yes, “you didn’t do what we told you, now you all will have to pay the price…” Doesn’t this open the door for one segment of society to attack the other, with the government acting as agent encouraging them to do so?

I’m beginning to think the loss of confidence you describe will come when government actions, like promoting violence, and threatening later to force people to get vaccinated, will be the last straw. They used the capitalist system to induce action; now, they will use their raw power and weapons produced by the same system to destroy it.

MS

REPLY: It seems that all the Northern Democratic states are adopting the same attitude. New York has also created a lottery for $5 million, but that has not been successful. You really have to wonder what is so important about this vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate? Are they simply using the vaccine to launch this Great Rest, and it failed, so they now must get authoritarian and erase all our rights? Something just does not add up.

In 1968, politicians were bribed back then as well to force everyone to get vaccinated. Poland refused to join, and the press said they would die by the tens of thousands. In the end, Poland’s death toll was 145.

Are the vaccines just to make money for the drug companies that pour unlimited amounts of bribes into Washington?

It is time to end lobbying. All elections should be paid for by the taxpayer. A candidate must raise enough signature support to qualify, and then they all get the same amount for a campaign. Then and only then will we end lobbying. ANY politician that takes ANY gift for them or their family belongs in prison. There should also be term limits, whereby one time you are in and then out. Max should be 2 years for a term in the House or Senate. End career politicians. This entire vaccination nonsense is untrustworthy because we have no idea what the drug companies are handing anyone on the side, and our lives depend on it. All the claimed fact-checkers are biased and just push more propaganda.

Georgia Judge Postpones Fulton County Ballot Examination After Last Minute Court Filings by County Officials


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 27, 2021 | Sundance | 90 Comments

This is a hot mess.  Fulton County election officials were freaked out after a judge granted the plaintiffs access to review 145,000 absentee ballots.  The concern is fraudulent and duplicated or double-counted ballots.  The final hearing to work out the details of the inspection was to take place tomorrow.  However in a last minute flurry of legal filings the county filed motions to dismiss the underlying lawsuit that initiated the ballot audit and review.

The judge has postponed the ballot examination hearing until after the county dismissal motion is considered.

EPOCH TIMES – A judge in Georgia told parties in an election integrity case on May 27 that a previously scheduled meeting at a ballot storage warehouse was canceled after officials filed a flurry of motions in the case.

Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said a May 28 meeting was no longer taking place because of motions filed by Fulton County, the county’s Board of Registration and Elections, and the county’s clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts, a spokesperson for the court confirmed to The Epoch Times.

Amero said the motions must be heard before the plaintiffs can gain access to the absentee ballots. He proposed a June 21 hearing, but the order scheduling the hearing hasn’t yet been filed.

“It seems like a desperation move. The silver lining is that we now have more time to perfect the changes we had to make in our inspection plan,” Garland Favorito, the lead petitioner, told The Epoch Times via email. (read more)
