• Michael Yeadon Interview – Former Pfizer VP Speaks Out On Dangers Of mRNA Vaccines & COVID Illusion (51:14m) from The Last American Vagabond. 

• 💥Why I Won’t Take the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine — a Scientist’s Perspective by Ken Biegeleisen, M.D., Ph.D. from Children's Health Defense. This is a best post. (Note: In addition to DNA-based vaccine that Johnson & Johnson produces, Biegeleisen also gives his reservations about RNA vaccines of other manufacturers.)

• Federal Government Illegally Pressured Facebook to Censor CHD Website, Social Media Content, Lawsuit Alleges by Children's Health Defense Team.
  

• 💥The Military Origins of Facebook (part 1 of 2) by Whitney Webb from her weblog Unlimited Hangout. This is a best post.
  

From the increasing sophistication of US intelligence/military contractor Palantir’s predictive policing programs to the formal announcement of the Justice Department’s Disruption and Early Engagement Program in 2019 to Biden’s first budget, which contains $111 million for pursuing and managing “increasing domestic terrorism caseloads,” the steady advance toward a precrime-centered “war on domestic terror” has been notable under every post-9/11 presidential administration.

.... And, while Facebook has long sought to portray itself as a “town square” that allows people from across the world to connect, a deeper look into its apparently military origins and continual military connections reveals that the world’s largest social network was always intended to act as a surveillance tool to identify and target domestic dissent.

• Being on the Left Involves Losing a Lot by Nathan J. Robinson from Current Affairs. My reaction: So why keep fighting against corporations within the capitalist system? Better in the years to come to organize the fight against capitalism and for socialism, that is, the public ownership and control of the economy to serve social needs, not private needs of billionaires.

• The Shallowness of ‘What Tech Calls Thinking’ by Matthew James Seidel from Current Affairs.

• Mission Accomplished: The Corbett Report Removed From YouTube from an article by James Corbett from his weblog The Corbett Report.
  

• Sunbeams From Cucumbers: The View From the Khanate of Kaganstan by Patrick Armstrong from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: This is mostly about the evidence of the ignorance displayed the Kagans (Robert Kagan, theorist husband and Victoria Nuland, operative wife) which are playing such a big role in the born-again Obama administration--the redux of the Biden administration.) My reaction: With Zionist players like this, what's to worry us? Except maybe a global nuclear war.

• Kerry Lunges Into India With Anti-BRI Agenda Bringing Green Suicide for All by Matthew Ehret from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: This will bring more evidence of a dying empire (US/Anglo/Zionist Empire) that will ultimately affect all Americans (see article above).

As the China-Russian-Iran alliance continues to gain new momentum spreading win-win cooperation and development across Asia, Africa and the World, the dying unipolar system run by detached militarists, financiers and technocrats is doubling down on its weird mix of 1) a “scorched earth” offensive threat to “dissuade” China and Russia from continuing on their current trajectory and 2) a “positive” green game on which nations are invited to tie their destinies as an alternative to China’s BRI [Belt and Road Initiative].

My reaction: This, and the above post, are from the same author and website known to be reliable. If these reports are true, they indicate that the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire is embarking on an aggressive road that leads to a global nuclear war!

• Investigation Links Fauci to Controversial Experiments That May Have Led to Pandemic with a commentary from Children's Health Defense. My reaction: This looks like an accurate and important piece of investigative research from a mainstream TV network that usually offers news from a Republican Party perspective.

• Do As I Say, Not As I Do by Todd Hayen, PhD from Off-Guardian. (Note: This is regarding the infantilization of world societies following the World Health Organization's (of the UN) official declaration of the current pandemic.)

• Biden's Protection of Murderous Saudi Despots Shows the Hidden Reality of U.S. Foreign Policy by Glenn Greenwald from his website on Substack. My commentary follows: 

Greenwald argues that the myth of this administration opposing tyranny is just that--a myth. He discloses a secret that most Americans naively believe: that their government pursues moral objectives. This grand deception hides many truths that their government not only is immoral like any criminal gang, but a bigger insight that their government is only a facade behind which a tiny class of capitalists rules all the nation and transnational capitalists rule the nations of the Empire. Many activists are aware of the first deception, but fail to recognize the second. And virtually all Americans fail to know that their elections along with the complex of myths regarding democracy are all deceptions. They are living and working in a world much like that of the film The Truman Show. 

• The Age of Social Murder by Chris Hedges from ScheerPost. My reaction: I am posting this article only to criticize it. I am turned off most of his writing by the moral denunciations of his targets in the government and oligarchy. His articles often read like sermons (he trained in a seminary to be a sermonizer) castigating sinners in the government and the rich for their sins. He seldom mentions the capitalist system which I firmly believe accounts for most of his "evil-doers". Besides this fundamental criticism, I don't accept his take on the current pandemic in which he largely accepts what the mainstream media report about the pandemic.

• Big Oil Is Really Scared! w/ Steven Donziger (Web Exclusive) featuring an interview conducted by Lee Camp (via his Redacted Tonight channel on YouTube) with Steven Donziger, the lead attorney who won a court case in 2011 against Chevron for their harmful practices in Ecuador. Donziger, who is suffering from Chevron's backlash ("Then Chevron went after Donziger. He's currently one of the US's many political prisoners."), brings this forever case up-to-date.
  

• Oceans, Carbon and Heat. Have we wrecked another equilibrium? from Just Have a Think featuring Dave Borlace explaining in this 12:04 YouTube video that the oceans are becoming more acidic and the effects of that.

• Science Update: Backtracking on Geoengineering? a 6:25m video featuring Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, a scientist who has specialized in the impending climate destabilization crisis, from his YouTube channel. He cites and clarifies important new research that has the potential to at least delay this crisis!

• Meet The Pseudo-Left Imperialists Fighting Against Universal Healthcare by Dan Cohen from Mint Press News. (Note: This post includes a transcript.)

• The Lawsuit That Could End Covid-1984 with Dr. Pam Popper in which Spiro Skouras from Activist Post interviews Popper. (Note: This is about working legally within the capitalist system to change the onerous effects of the current pandemic.)

• 2020: The Year the Tree of Liberty Was Torched by John W. Whitehead from The Rutherford Institute. My reaction: 2020 was not the "year the tree of liberty was torched". It has been happening ever since capitalism took over from feudal authorities some several hundred years ago. The bourgeios proponents merely replaced the feudal authorities.
  

We could transform this nation if only Americans would work together to harness the power of their discontent and push back against the government’s overreach, excesses and abuse.

Targeting a capitalist government for this situation is the problem which all anarchists will embrace, but will accomplish nothing. The only solution is revolution, that is, a change from an advanced capitalist system to a democratically empowered socialist system. Anarchists, agorists, libertarians (as practiced in America), etc. have much to learn. But will they learn it in time to avert the impending catastrophes of nuclear war or the destabilization of our climate? Stay tuned and stay informed.

• 11 questions / 11 answers about the new global debt crisis and how it can be radically reduced (part 1 of 5) by Eric Toussaint , Olivier Bonfond, and Mats Lucia Bayer from CATM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt).

• The Myth of a Golden Age of American liberalism by Chris Orlet from CounterPunch. My commentary follows:

I will always take notice of the use of "liberal" and "liberalism" to describe politics in the USA, and this grabbed my attention coming from a magazine online group that were earlier actual descendants of the British aristocracy that were replaced by "liberals" in the contemporary sense. I have over my adult lifetime puzzled over the lack of distinction with the usage of words related to "liberalism", and earlier in the magazine and later in the online posts that CounterPunch has run its articles. It is confusing when I discover the word in articles in other publications. I don't know which definition is meant except by the intellectual content framed by the author. There were, and continues to be, two definitions of the word which I will explain.

The original definition is now regarded as a "classical" definition of the word. While writing his commentary, I found to my surprise the distinction recognized in an article written only last summer by Robert Longley and posted on ThoughtCo's website entitled "What Is Classical Liberalism? Definition and Examples". In this article he distinguishes the two in one sentence: "Today, classical liberalism is viewed in contrast to the more politically-progressive philosophy of social liberalism." Thus, the argument here is that the current use of "liberalism" is only a subset of what is now termed "classical liberalism", the ideology of capitalism. And, according to his definition, the current use of the word prevalent throughout especially the USA means only a kind of social form of classical liberalism with its emphasis on civil rights supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution. Notice that this definition does not in any way disturb liberalism in its classical meaning.

History has demonstrated that "social liberalism" is essentially propaganda used by the capitalist ruling classes to prettify the essential inequalities of capitalism and to diminish the use of classical liberalism, the ideology of capitalism. This propaganda serves to hide the social harms in the forms of racism, poverty, exploitation, wars, etc. that have been done to the general population under capitalist regimes that have always favored the enrichment of the few over the health and welfare of the many. These crimes are the result of capitalism and its self-serving ideology of classical liberalism and today's liberalism ("social liberalism") that has functioned over the past several centuries to create the conditions of today. Can you who identify as liberals in the contemporary sense continue to ignore these conditions: lack of access to healthcare, widespread poverty, racism, neverending wars, and the destabilization of the climate which is threatening to end nearly all life on planet Earth including humans? 

Now our masters in the capitalist ruling classes have promised us more social harms to come under the Great Reset where, according to promises by them, we "will own nothing and be happy". Could this be another ideology like "social liberalism" that serves to hide their wet-dream of total control over us, that is, a "new world order" under their control and serving only their needs? If you like the present social-economic reality or are thoroughly indoctrinated by the propaganda of the current ruling class, then you will obey them like sheep headed down the chute to be slaughtered; but if not, you need to see what they have planned for us, actively oppose their plans, and then destroy their system of capitalism, that is, private ownership of the economy, that has given them so much power and wealth but has caused so much destruction on societies today. [I have done some editing of this commentary on 12/25/2020 to clarify my argument.]

• With Biden's New Threats, the Russia Discourse is More Reckless and Dangerous Than Ever by Glenn Greenwald from Substack.

• World Economic Forum Tabs Mass Murderers to Promote The Great Reset by Steve Lalla from Internationalist 360°. 

• Johns Hopkins newspaper removes study examining COVID death rate by Benjamin Zeisloft from Campus Reform.

• CHD Article on Big-Picture Look at Current Pandemic Beneficiaries Accepted by Peer-Reviewed Journal from Children's Health Defense. (Note: The fact that this article was accepted by the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research is a recognition of it importance that I overlooked earlier in this month.) My reaction: The rather lengthy article contains what the ruling class has planned for us ordinary people (not billionaires and their sycophants) according to the Great Reset project.

• Is Society Collapsing? by Kirkpatrick Sale from CounterPunch. My reaction: He should win the bet, but the financial circumstances of the escrow holder will determine the winner. If he/she is a member of the ruling class of capitalists, he will lose the bet. But if she/he is a worker, he will win the bet. If he/she is in between, who knows? If society is collapsing, all humans will ultimately lose because humans need societies to exist.

• The PCR Deception by Derrick Broze from The Conscious Resistance. (Note: You can also access this 15:07m video from ISE.) 

• Propaganda Pandemic: The Craziest COVID Claims Of The Year by Dan Cohen from Mint Press News. 

• Climate and environmental crisis: Sorcerer’s apprentices at the World Bank and the IMF by Eric Toussaint from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt which is based in Belgium but international). His conclusion:

The promoters of the dominant productivist model and of the capitalist system first denied the existence of a major issue, namely the environmental damage and climate change, and they still actively support policies that worsen the situation. Next, when their position became impossible to uphold, they made the headlines in international media by publishing a report on the issue, thus attempting to give credence to the idea that international institutions and the governments of the most industrialized countries have taken the measure of this serious problem, while in fact it had been deliberately concealed for decades. At the end of the day, those who defend the current system [capitalism] imply that it can solve a problem it is largely responsible for, thus permitting its own perpetuation. It is urgent to understand that the only fair and sustainable solution involves a radical questioning of this productivist capitalist system, which cannot but generate environmental damage and careering inequalities.

• The Future of Vaccines featuring James Corbett, a Canadian, delivering his research about the new mRNA vaccine supposedly to treat SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 illness in a 41:34m video from his weblog The Corbett Report. This is a best post. 

If the Gateses and the Faucis and the representatives of the international medical establishment get their way, life will not return to normal until the entire planet is vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. What many do not yet understand, however, is that the vaccines that are being developed for SARS-Cov-2 are unlike any vaccines that have ever been used on the human population before. And, as radically different as these vaccines appear, they represent only the very beginning of a complete transformation of vaccine technology that is currently taking place in research labs across the planet. This is a study of The Future of Vaccines.

• The Dangerous Alliance of Rothschild and the Vatican of Francis by F. William Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook.

• WHO Quietly Changes “Herd Immunity” Definition In Stunning Display Of Orwellian Social Engineering featuring Ryan Cristián reporting and commenting ("concisely" in a 24:26 post--the first video which starts at 2:35m) on a significant change on the UN World Health Organization (WHO) website's definition of "herd immunity" that suspiciously implies that they are pushing an agenda to promote vaccinations. He also refers to a Tweet by Dr. Sam Bailey who indicates that excess mortality rates are influenced by pressure on physicians to record any deaths that could conceivably tied to COVID-19 illness. (Be sure to view a post on Bitchute for Bailey's explanation about excess deaths which demolishes WHO's declaration of a pandemic.) I also have previously reported evidence that hospitals are being paid more for deaths "caused" by this illness.

• Covid-1984 And The Agendas To Come with James Perloff. In this Activist Post Spiro Skouras interviews "author, journalist and recently retired registered nurse, James Perloff" in a 54:10m video interview in which Perloff discloses that his book was banned by Amazon. I note that he asserts (at 17:57m) that the future that we can expect is "bolshevism in America". This is another example of the confusion by current critical activists who mix up fascism with bolshevism which forbad private ownership of the economy as existed in Western capitalist countries. Perloff's use of the term bolshevism only applies to the Stalinist rule of the Soviet Union after bolshevists in that country were attacked mainly by viscerally anti-communist armies of the British ruling class (also 13 armies of other capitalist ruling classes of nations including the USA) which aligned themselves with the small Russian capitalist class and caused a civil war. This eventually caused Stalin's takeover of the Soviet Union. Then the nation was ruled autocratically by Stalin, who was a supreme nationalist (not an imperialists that Western propagandists portrayed him as), and together with his loyal followers in the bureaucracy formed a new self-serving ruling class. This example demonstrates the effectiveness, and the confusion of activists, resulting from 75 years of anti-communist propaganda.

• Did You Think the New Laws Were Only About the Farmers? by P. Sainath from The Wire (based in India).

• How to Cure America’s Vaccine Paranoia by Sonali Kolhatkar posted on CounterPunch. My commentary follows: 

This article is another illustration of when "push comes to shove" (def.) "liberals" will always go with the capitalist ruling class and their government. What the author has written--and she has impeccable liberal credentials--in my opinion, supports censorship of non-governmental highly trained experts. What she has written supports government policies that mandates vaccines directly or indirectly by tolerating businesses which discriminate against those who don't trust pharmaceutical corporations which have a record of profiting off drugs like opioids. After all, her main argument is that people who don't trust pharmaceutical corporations and government fake health agencies impair the health of others. This is an argument that we, the people, must be "shoved" by mandatory laws into compliance which will force people who don't trust for-profit pharmaceutical corporations and which are indemnified from lawsuits, to take their vaccines. This is the same argument that the government, which are controlled by the capitalist ruling class, are the final authority on what's best for Americans. What happened to the belief that government derives from the consent of the governed? and the Bill of Rights which protects basic freedoms of minorities? Oops? I think we caught them on a very slippery slope to fascist capitalism?

• John Pilger: The Most Lethal Virus Is Not COVID. It Is War from Mint Press News.

• How race politics liberated the elites by Matthew Crawford from Unherd (based in Britain). 

For the new Left, then, it was not capitalism but the democratic social order altogether that was the source of oppression — not just of black people, or of workers, but of us, the college bourgeoisie. The civil rights movement of black Americans became the template for subsequent claims by women, gays and transgender persons, each based on a further discovery of moral failing buried deep in the heart of America. Hence a further license, indeed mandate, granted to individual conscience, as against the claims of the nation.

My reaction: The "new Left", that is, ("liberals") were influenced, as always, by the ruling class who had an interest in shaping them into this thought disorder--thinking that society was the problem, not capitalism.

• G20 debt proposal continues to favour creditors from Bretton Woods Project.
  

• Trump’s Last Chance to Snub the Deep State by Ron Ridenour from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: It might be his last chance, but I hardly think he will do it because such pardons will "snub" the entire capitalist ruling class of which he is a prime member.

• Britain’s Class War on Children by Australian journalist John Pilger from CounterPunch. My only criticism is the title. I know, as any good journalist reports, that he was only reporting about what he knows. But, the British children are not alone. This is true of most of the world's children because the directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have been able to corrupt the UN's health agency (WHO), and have managed to inflict their power on many, if not most, children of the world.

• The New Norm: Government Lawbreaking from TruePublica, a British website. My reaction: This is an excellent piece of journalism supported by interesting documentation about the British government trying to hide it's dirty secrets from the public. Britain is, of course, a integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.
  

• Lookout for Karl Marx! by Chuck Churchill from CounterPunch.
  

[Because of censorship and government secrecy, world workers] have suffered many defeats, including perhaps the greatest one: being deprived of the ideas needed to make revolutionary change. And today it seems to be a race between the destructive tendencies of the capitalist system in charge of the world economy with no greater motivation than an endless stream of profits for which it must embrace endless war, environmental destruction, and the continued enslavement of labor. If left unchecked the capitalist mode of production will go on to the detriment and perhaps even the extinction of the human race. [my insertion]

My reaction: But Marx was wrong about one thing: the inevitability of workers to succeed in overcoming the power of capitalists. We, as a human species along with most others, will go extinct because of environmental destruction long before this will happen.

• Moon of Alabama – It’s time to say goodbye by Kit Knightly from Off-Guardian. My reaction follows: 

This also applies to David North of the World Socialist Web Site. He, and most of his writers, have jumped onto the bandwagon of scare tactics to instill fear in workers about this over-hyped "pandemic" which has caused untold harm by locking out millions of workers from employment. To be sure, employers of "essential" workers  have exposed worker-employees to unsafe working conditions and have largely ignored safety considerations, but North ignores the evidence of scientific research done by qualified independent experts that suggests the cure of the lockdowns and other policies are worse than the disease.

Regarding Bernhard, maybe I wasn't looking to him, an astute geopolitical analyst, to explain what is going on in this "pandemic". The articles that I have assembled from the beginning have suggested that something nefarious is going on. This huge medical controversy is being driven by fear inculcated in the population by the constant din of major media and the withdrawing of civil liberties by governmental authorities. I discovered yesterday that Bernhard had jumped on the fear pandemic along with others in the ruling class, and their numerous employees and sycophants, by attacking in a similar fashion Prof. Chossudovsky of Global Research. Bernhard impugns the integrity, expertise, and facts of independent and qualified experts. I was astounded by both of these critics.  

Have they both been compromised by the insidious and powerful influences of the ruling class and their Great Reset project?

• Your Guide to The Great Reset, a 1:11:57 video featuring Jame Corbett (of The Corbett Report), a Canadian living in Japan, explaining from his point of view the "Great Reset" project. My reaction follows: 

I don't have time to listen to all of if, but I don't entirely agree with his general views on political subjects. He is an anarchist, a fashionable leftist type occurring nowadays. This view emphasizes mostly the rejection of official authorities. Anarchists frequently don't see a ruling class that behind the curtain controls the puppet shows that are incessantly broadcast by major media corporations and shows that are a pervasive influence in all other institutions of societies within the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Corbett in this broadcast acknowledges their existence, but goes on to mostly ridicule them.

Also, I think he rejects the notion of the threat of climate destabilization--which is real. This, I think, is mainly what the Great Reset is all about (among other issues), that is, I think that the transnational capitalist ruling class that controls the Empire are genuinely concerned about this issue and they see the Great Reset as a means to continue their system of capitalism. They see as a necessity to sacrifice the lives of people who don't contribute to their wealth and power ("useless eaters") as a solution to the growing threat of climate destabilization. But Corbett has useful perceptions and should be listened to, that is, if you have an hour and eleven minutes to spare.

• The Fed Wants the Public to Know It Can Withhold Information Under an Executive Order and Defy Subpoenas from Courts and Congress by Pam and Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade.

Capitalism always tends toward the concentration of wealth and power.)

• Global Economic Lockdown - with Peter Koenig and Ellen Brown from the Guns & Butter website. (Note: Bonnie Faulkner interviews two of the greatest contemporary minds on the current economic crisis created by the current pandemic. I wasn't impressed by Brown's articles until she demonstrated some deeper insights with the recent article entitled "Meet BlackRock, the New Great Vampire Squid". I have never doubted Koenig's understanding of recent world events. I've only had time to listen to 30 minutes of the nearly one hour program but will listen to the remainder after I've finished blogging. Very important!)

• Can a Broke America Fight a Cold War With China? by Hal Brands from Bloomberg. 

My commentary: US/Anglo/Zionist Empire media corporations are full of stories that imply a new cold war, even a hot war, and they seem to be having some success. Just the other day I received in a mail a newspaper called The Epoch Times which I think was sent from Chicago. The headline and the front page was devoted to an article "How the Chinese Communist Party Endangered the World". My neighbor received the same newspaper. (That got me wondering about the financial backing for such a mailout.) This together with the increasing bellicose nature of "news" regarding China made me think that the ruling class was preparing for some conflict with China. I don't think that they have a hot war mind--but what? I thought: maybe it has something to do with money. The following links also suggested this: here, here, and here. Maybe the US could default on its huge debt to China and China could promote a global yaun to replace the US dollar.

• Only the Poor Starve: Hunger in the Time of Covid by Graham Peebles from Dissident Voice. 

My reaction: I hope he is right about his optimistic future:

Consistent with the new time we are moving into, a shift in collective consciousness is taking place among large numbers of people all over the world. To accommodate this shift, this new awareness that is slowly emerging, new ways of thinking, new institutions and structures are badly needed, including crucially a radically overhauled socio-economic system. A flexible evolving model anchored in certain Principles of Goodness: Unity, sharing and justice.

This common-sense trinity is interdependent and encourages values of cooperation and understanding, responsibility and tolerance.

• The International Situation in the Era of the Coronavirus Pandemic by Philippe Alcoy originally from Révolution Permanente, translated by Scott Cooper, and posted on Left Voice. 

• The pandemic, profits and the capitalist justification of suffering and death by David North from World Socialist Web Site.

The premature return to work that the Trump administration is orchestrating will lead to countless thousands of deaths, which could be prevented if a rigorous program of social distancing, supported by a massive program of testing and contact tracing, were implemented and sustained during the coming critical months.

My commentary: I don't think it is the fault of the Trump administration, rather it is due to the capitalist system that always prioritizes profits/power over the health of workers. The author, as is fashionable in media corporations, criticizes Trump too much rather than the logic of capitalism that is suggested by the title of the article.

• Engineered plandemic (sic) posted by "BoredButterfly" on The Duran. Spiro Skouras interviews Prof. Francis Boyle (also see this bio from Wikispooks). (Robert Kennedy, Jr vouches for one piece of Boyle's research.) (Edited commentary at 6:56 PM CT.)

I believe the evil Gates has funded this global disaster. Knowing his family eugenics background and after seeing this amazing video I’m convinced. The attached video reveals the Virus is a Bio-weapon developed with a plan in mind and its been purchased by China. Follow the thread to the countries involved, the Chinese scientists and locations of the P3 P4 labs. Now B. Gates wont shut up about his vaccine plan. It’s he who will benefit the most. JFK jr is on his case like NEVER BEFORE.

The dots are coming together on their own.

My commentary (edited @6:56PM CT): Boyle has been doing interviews (see this one) with Alex Jones on Infowars website, and I don't know why. Could it be that he has been banned from major media? In interviews done with Infowars, host Jones frequently interrupts Boyle with his reckless biased inferences and frequent breaks to peddle his vitamins. Although Boyle is clearly qualified and, as a humanitarian, has much knowedge to share with us, he too has biases against China which sometimes subtly informs his inferences (as demonstrated in the above link). I think Boyle does disservice to get his information out there by participating in interviews with Alex Jones on Infowars. 

This interview by Skouras lets Boyle present his evidence in a concise way. Although Boyle's evidence adds to our knowledge, I think it is clear that he provided a "smoking gun" for the origin of the virus in a US lab, but not its transmission in China. Additionally, what is clear is that he is being banned from major media by the Deep State (see this, this, and this) which operates behind the curtain of the grand deception that our government functions according to the rule of law.
