The Fauci Conundrum

 By Rich Kozlovich 

The Issues and Insight web site put out a list of articles they've been reading asking this question: "Is Anthony Fauci, And His Media Pals, In Even Bigger Trouble Now?"  

Rand Paul has introduces a resolution ro hold Fauci in contempt Of Congress:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Dr. Anthony Fauci last week exactly what would happen if he stonewalled Congress. Fauci ignored him. Now Paul is delivering on that promise, and conservatives who have waited years for this moment have every reason to celebrate.

And the lies keep piling up, or perhaps I should say keep "catching" up to the Fauci cabal?  After years of debate, former COVID response coordinator acknowledges pandemic source ‘probably a lab leak’ -

Former Biden White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha revealed in a Sunday interview on CNN that he believes COVID-19 was likely caused by a lab leak. During the interview with CNN's Dana Bash, she highlighted how Jha had retweeted commentator Jamie Metzl’s lengthy social media post saying he believed COVID-19 originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Five Lessons Learned From the Fauci Fiasco - Former Biden White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha revealed in a Sunday interview on CNN that he believes COVID-19 was likely caused by a lab leak. During the interview with CNN's Dana Bash, she highlighted how Jha had retweeted commentator Jamie Metzl’s lengthy social media post saying he believed COVID-19 originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Make no mistake, if it wasn't for the corruption of the Pravda media none of this could have taken place.  If they'd done the job journalists are supposed to do they'd have reported the data was fraudulent, these shots weren't real vaccines, that these compounds were killing people, that this was a ..... watch out now.... here it comes..... a vast left wing conspiracy to steal the 2020 fraudulent election of Joe Biden.     

J.B. Shurk says journalists involved were dumb, arrogant liars:

There is a frustrating contradiction when it comes to the way public information is assessed for factual truth.  For decades, prominent news organizations have steadily lost credibility.  Fewer Americans than ever believe what The New York Times, CNN, NPR, or even the AP publishes as the “objective” record of current events.  At the same time, however, alternative, competing descriptions of current events are almost entirely ignored.  No matter how compelling or factually sourced a story might be, it is largely disregarded until mainstream corporate news institutions are willing to recognize its validity.

The only thing that will fix these myrmidons of the left is if they are driven out of business because no one cares what they think or care.  There's a reason Americans’ confidence in TV News and newspapers is in the toilet.  They've proven over and over again nothing they're saying is trustworthy as they've been caught in lies so often, and some of the lies were blatantly obvious to the most casual observer.  Lies that were presented with unbelievable arrogance, a clear demonstration of their contempt for the public.

Fauci, and My Cartoon Roundup

By Rich Kozlovich 

 "The time has come, to talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—of cabbages—and kings—and why the sea is boiling hot—and whether pigs have wings." 

The line above was from Alice in Wonderland about "futile arguments over trivial matters, and the absurdity of human behavior, hypocrisy, false sympathy, exploitation of the young, foolish and innocent", and it's appropriate for what passes for reality today.

Fauci the Foul

By Rich Kozlovich Links: Covid, Coronavirus

 Joseph Ford Cotto published this article over at American Thinker, Anthony Fauci Hurt America's Children ... and Her Future saying;

The damage the once-vaunted Fauci did to society's most vulnerable was incalculable. Anthony Fauci spent nearly four decades running the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In that time, he became the face of public health in America. Yet the record now shows he inflicted lasting harm on the very people he claimed to serve, especially the young. His private writings and public actions reveal a pattern of deception that paved the way for lockdowns, school closures, and social isolation whose scars will stretch across generations.

He may have spent decades in that job, but a science friend who was involved with that agency said he wasn't like or respected.  It's clear he was just another political hack feeding at the government trough. 

From the beginning I took a stand against mandatory vaccinations, saying that should be a personal choice.  I opposed masking, social distancing, and lock downs, and took a lot of heat.   So, I have to say,  I’m finding all these exposures more than satisfying.

From the beginning I took the stand this wasn’t about science or public health, it was about politics, and Fauci was a fraudulent myrmidon of the left.   Then it was exposed these shots weren’t real vaccinations but gene altering compounds that didn't meet the definition for a vaccine.  Previous to this the hard and fast rule for a compound to be declared a vaccine it had to do two things.  Immunize and prevent transmission, and they did neither, so they changed the definition, which clearly showed they absolutely knew these shots were not vaccines.   

 It was also clear these gene altering compounds were causing serious health issues, .  I stated this was our Thalidomide era, which caused a worldwide panic, but that only affected fifteen thousand children.  This was already far, far worse, and I stated these compounds were going to impact the world’s health negatively for decades to come, and that’s now being recognized.

I lost science friends who were past allies in the battle against junk science over my positions. So I think this question needs answering: If an autodidact bugman could see this so clearly, and so early, how is it possible so many prominent, powerful, highly educated people couldn’t? Or should I say wouldn’t?   So, I have to say I’m finding all these exposures more than satisfying.

It’s my view this whole scheme by Fauci and his cabal was not only fraud, which is a crime, it was a crime against humanity, or at the very least, depraved indifference, and someone needs to go to jail over this, and big time. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci and 111 counts of contempt of Congress - In an ideal world, a sentencing judge would look at the 2 million COVID deaths worldwide, and give him 111 consecutive one-year sentences........ Typical lunatics from the left-wing fringe have given up on religious faith...... and they’re eager to believe anything “scientific,” as a sorry substitute.  Some of them might have gotten a COVID shot for the free Happy Meal.  Then they got a few booster shots. Some of them got 12 boosters. I’m not exaggerating.......

Now they’re hearing about myocarditis, nervous system disorders, aortic aneurisms, and other long-term side effects, and they’re starting to get worried. Because COVID lasted for a year, but those elevated risks will be with them for the rest of their miserable lives.......

In Jim Davis' article, Dr. Anthony Fauci and 111 counts of contempt of Congresshe notes that:

In an ideal world, a sentencing judge would look at the 2 million COVID deaths worldwide, and give him 111 consecutive one-year sentences.

And NO, Fauci isn't just a distraction over what we've lost.  Every issue has a focal point that focuses our attention on an issue and the expanded details surrounding that issue,  Fauci is that focal point expanding the truth as to what happened, and that's what makes it clear as to what we've lost.  

On July 31, 2026 I published this article, Fauci the Fabricator, which Blogger deleted claiming it didn't meet their community standards, which I've protested, and reposted at Nuf Ced.  What are their community standards?  They won't say, which is an open invitation for abuse and censorship.  However, for me it was articles I wrote or posted that exposed the COVID fraud lies, and anything about Islam that was negative, irrespective of the sourcing or the truth, and this one will meet the same fate I'm sure.   

Here are the updates I posted to that article and more:

  1.  Anthony Fauci, Our Own Wizard of Oz - We’ve been preparing all wrong for pandemics by imagining bureaucratic wizards will manage them best.....
  2.  Fauci’s Worst Nightmare Is Fauci! -| Do a lot of grown men keep diaries? Fauci’s own narcissism came back to haunt him.......
  3.  Another Fauci Fraud: Unearthed Clip Busts Fauci with Blatantly Inaccurate AIDS Claims  Thursday on “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Fauci.  Marlow said, “He’s acting as though children could get it through the air and touch. That’s pandering to left-wing political people.”
  4. Dr. Birx Admits Blue States Over-closed to Send Political Signal in Election Year - Marlow said about comments from Deborah Birx: “She’s saying that Democrat-led states, blue states over-closed during the pandemic in 2020 in order to send a political signal.”
  5. Josh Hawley: ‘Anthony Fauci Had No Right to Invoke the Fifth Amendment After Receiving Immunity’ (VIDEO) - Anthony Fauci’s congressional testimony this week was such an insult to the entire country. It was just stunning to see him repeatedly invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer every single question posed to him.
  6. The Fifth Man - Fauci claims the rights he denied everyone else....... People were fired from their jobs for refusing untested vaccines. Fauci closed schools, shut down businesses, and barred people from visiting their dying relatives. As Sen. Bernie Moreno recalled, a mother was arrested for watching a football game outside. The Ohio Republican surely spoke for many when he told Fauci “who the f..k do you think you were for doing that?”... 
  7. The Rise and Fall of Anthony Fauci - Being pathetic is no protection against being malevolent.   I am thinking of sending Anthony Fauci a copy of Herodotus’ HistoriesAfter his humiliating performance before the Senate last week, Dr. Fauci might find the story of Solon’s visit to the Lydian king Croesus instructive. Croesus displays his great wealth to the Athenian lawgiver and asks, “Who is the happiest man you have ever seen?” Croesus expects Solon to name him. Instead, Solon says that no one can be judged truly happy while still living because fate can reverse one’s fortune in an instant..............Social distancing was a hoax, masks were a joke, lockdowns were worthless, mRNA jabs were dangerous ,Case fatality rate was low, Ivermectin worked, Hydroxychloroquine also worked, Remdesivir was a killer, COVID came from the Wuhan lab and Fauci funded it........
  8. Louisiana AG Liz Murrill Says State Will Launch Investigation into Fauci - Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) announced on Saturday that Louisiana will launch an investigation into former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci regarding “whether he committed any other offenses” that can be pursued.......
  9. Knoxville Mayor Shares Chilling 2020 Talk When Deborah Birx Admitted the Truth Didn’t Matter When It Came to the Science -  Public officials faced pressure from “experts” to upend the lives of everyday Americans in the name of combating COVID. But were these measures really justifiable?  Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Glenn Jacobs — popularly known for his work with World Wrestling Entertainment as Kane — recalled an exchange with a certain doctor who gave no indication that lockdown measures were proven to be effective......... On Saturday, Jacobs remembered an exchange he had with Birx that proved anti-COVID policies were more of a stunt than a safety measure.
  10. 'This stinks of a cover-up': Biden's Fauci pardon suggests someone suspected criminal activity -Democrats and legacy media 'committed to throttling discussion of the most consequential event in recent history'.  There's no mystery in why Dr. Anthony Fauci strove to silence discussion about the origins of COVID-19 – he was in full CYA mode because the agency he led had helped fund the Wuhan lab that apparently created the deadly virus. It also seems clear that others in the government and many powerful business interests enabled this deception for fear that fingering China rather than a rabid bat might lead Americans to demand some accountability......This stinks of a cover-up. It raises the question: why the start date six years before the pandemic erupted? It suggests that Biden or someone in his administration knew or at least suspected that Fauci may have engaged in criminal activity connected to the emergence of the virus......
  11. Update:  MORE FAUCI PHONE REVELATIONS: Newly Released Texts Show Biden Surgeon General Vivek Murthy Discussed Concerns About mRNA Shots Causing MUTATIONS in Developing Fetuses - Newly released text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-issued iPhone expose yet another stunning example of the COVID regime’s two-faced messaging.  Sens. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Rand Paul (R-KY) released the January 25-26, 2021 text chain Monday as part of the initial dump from more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails recovered from Fauci’s government phone. The exchange is damning.......
  12. UpdateTexts: Fauci And Friends Covered Up Concerns About The Covid Vax And Miscarriages - The latest communications from the Covid czar, obtained by the committees investigating him, note concerns about ‘mutations.’  Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns early on about the rapidly produced Covid vaccinations and their potential links to miscarriage despite very public assurances that there were “no red flags,” according to a 2021 text chain released Monday by the committees investigating the disgraced, Fifth-taking Covid czar. .......

Cult of Saint Fauci is in Trouble

 By Rich Kozlovich

I'm old enough to remember the Asian flu of 1957 and 1958, and it was a lot worse than this fraudulent COVID scare, and no one thought the world should be shut down.  The big difference was nobody went around testing people to see if they'd been exposed to that virus.... which if they did..... they would have found millions of perfectly healthy people who tested positive, just as they did with these COVID tests.  Exposure isn't the same as infected.  Once the public is exposed to viruses ...... they're here forever ....... and as time goes by, everyone will be exposed, and a huge number of perfectly healthy people will test positive.  So what?  

  1. I absolutely knew and stated from the beginning the numbers were bogus.  That turned out to be true.  
  2. I absolutely knew and stated the only long term  answer was herd immunity.  That turned out to be true.
  3.  Initially I wasn't against the shots, I just felt that should have been a personal decision.  That turned out to be accurate.
  4. I believed making them mandatory was wrong.  That turned out to be true.
  5. I knew and stated their reasoning for making them mandatory was fallacious. That turned out to be true.
  6. I knew, and stated masks and social distancing were bogus requirements.  That turned out to be true..  

As I said in the beginning I had no objections to those who chose to get these vaccinations, until the truth about them raised it's ugly head.  Then we found out these weren't real vaccinations.  They were genetic manipulating compounds that didn't immunized or prevent transmission, which were always the two absolute requirements for defining a compound as a vaccine.  They corruptly changed the definition. 

I also stated these compounds had unreported adverse effects causing serious health problems, including death, and these compounds were going to negatively impact humanity for decades.  That's turned out to be true, as this link will take you to my 

Rand Paul Document Dump Shows Anthony Fauci’s COVID Deceit
  1. Anthony Fauci was the ‘big head’ of COVID response — New York Post
  2. 10 Questions For Congress To Ask Fauci About His Covid Corruption And Coverup — Hans Mahncke, The Federalist
  3. ‘Grotesque’ Fauci Reveled In His Fame As Thousands Died — Fauci diary, via Hans Mahncke, X
  4. Fauci Toadies Privately Called Lab Leak Theory ‘Highly Likely’ While Publicly Shutting It Down — The Federalist
  5. RFK Catches Something Outrageous in the Fauci Diaries: ‘He Never Told Anybody’ — Red State
  6. Fauci Called Those Who Questioned ‘Gain Of Function’ Research ‘Naysayers’ — Sen. Rand Paul release, via X

There's one final issue I'd like to address and that's forgiveness for these COVID tyrants, who as far as I'm concerned are guilty of crimes against humanity, or at the very least, depraved indifference.  Rand Paul has claimed, "Fauci caused the deaths of seven million people.  Forgiveness for these COVID tyrants? Not in This Lifetime!Part II, and Part III

The Eve Of Destruction

By Rob Pue @ Wisconsin Christian News

As I write this message, I feel obligated to put a “time stamp” on it because things are happening so quickly now.  So, for your reference, this is being written in early October, 2024.  The presidential election is just a little more than a month away now.  By the time you read or hear this, it will be less than a month away.

And as I compile this message, the words of Barry McGuire’s 1965 song echo in my mind  and I can’t help but feel this really is the time he sang about way back then, because today, we really are “on the eve of destruction.”  Many have waited so long for this upcoming date: November 5, 2024... for an end to the Communist Regime in power in our nation, for an end to the deliberate destruction of our country, an end to the demoniacs “building back better,” “unburdened by what has been,” after tearing down all that we’ve built.  An end to the weaponization of our judicial system, the tyranny endured by good, patriotic and Godly men and women and an opportunity for justice to return to America.

And what have we learned over these past four years?  Oh, so much.  First of all, we’ve all learned we’re definitely not better off today than we were four years ago.  We’ve also learned just how deep, wide and real the “Deep State” really is and that there’s no longer any aspect of our federal government that can be trusted by the people.  We’ve learned the Democrats are absolute, total evil demons and the Republicans are their controlled opposition.  As I’ve said before, Ino longer refer to Democrats and Republicans.  They’re best described as Communists and Politicians, two wings of the same foul bird.

We also learned, over the past four years, just how quickly the Deep State can implement complete global control.  Let me remind you.  It was Friday, March 13, 2020 that Fauci and Company went on the national airwaves and declared “just two weeks to flatten the curve.”  That afternoon, panic set in and stores were quickly sold out of (of all things)toilet paper.  By Monday, the 16th, our nation was in full lockdown.  Businesses deemed “non-essential” were forbidden to open. Masks became mandatory.  People were ordered to stay in their homes.  Even churches were ordered to remain closed, while liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries were deemed “essential.”

It all happened so fast.  And immediately, Imean within days of the COVID declaration, those “essential” businesses that remained open already had plexiglass in place, signs and stickers had been designed, printed and distributed nationwide to every open public place with the number “6” on them.  We had “6” on the floors, “6” on the doors, “6” at every store checkout, arbitrarily ordering the population to remain 6’ apart.  And designer masks became big business — again within days, there were literally thousands of styles of masks available for sale.  Fancy, expensive masks, masks with humorous messages, masks of every shape, size and style. 

In Walmart and Target stores, one week after the lockdown began, there were racks of masks for sale... and with mirrors attached to the racks, so people could try them on, see how they looked and then put them back and try others until they found the perfect mask for them.  (How sanitary was that?)

It was as if all the supplies for the so-called “pandemic” had already been designed, ordered and shipped prior to the lockdown orders.  One might call it the most “efficient” government operation in history.  How else were so many places so quickly equipped with custom-fit plexiglass barriers, all those 6’ signs and stickers and all those fashionable masks?

Of course, their “two weeks” turned into months and months.  The 4th of July came and went but there were no fireworks or celebrations.  People were arrested for walking alone in public parks or swimming in the ocean — alone — in the hot summer sun.  Public playgrounds were wrapped in plastic “snow fencing” to make sure the kids were not able to use the playground equipment.  Kids playing in their own back yards were reported to police by neighbors.  Some of the most absurd and ridiculous rules were mandated during this time — too many to even begin to mention here, but suffice to say, Ilost a lot of respect for people who proved too stupid or too cowardly to think for themselves.

Hospitals and nursing homes were transformed into killing centers.  Hospitals were incentivized to diagnose as many COVID cases as possible, so no matter what you went to the hospital for — even a broken arm — you definitely had COVID.  There was no way you could go to the hospital for anything and not have COVID.  Even, of course, if you didn’t.

Hospitals were further incentivized to kill as many patients as possible and the only drug approved for use in treating COVID was Remdesivir — a drug which had been tested in Africa years before, but tests had to be abruptly stopped because more than half of those in the trials were dying from it.  Remdesivir, in case you’re one of the few who still haven’t heard, causes acute respiratory distress, followed by kidney failure, followed by cascading organ failure.  It quite literally melts one’s internal organs.  Then, patients were put on ventilators (with more financial incentives for hospitals) and suffocated to death.

What happened to our medical system during that time is nothing short of reprehensible.  I will never trust the medical establishment ever again.  And then, of course, we got the “jabs” — depopulation shots that came with a whole host of problems of their own... blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, “turbo cancers,” hundreds of thousands dying “suddenly” or “unexpectedly.”  I’m still seeing obituaries today for those who have “died unexpectedly” or “after a short battle with an aggressive cancer.”  Let us not forget these jabs were mandated — not by law, but simply because the Regime said so.  “Get the jab or lose your job.”

When restaurants opened up again, many required you to wear a mask to enter, then you were allowed to remove it after you were seated.  Suffice to say, we didn’t play those games.  As I explained at the time, the masks did not help anyone avoid getting sick.  In fact, re-circulating your own breath over and over through bacteria-laden masks actually caused more illnesses.  Their sole purpose was as a prop — they were a constant visual reminder to be fearful of the dreaded COVID virus.  It was all a scam.

But COVID was a very convenient tool to manipulate the 2020 elections.  It allowed for incredible abuse of our American voting systems.  Mail-in ballots.  Ballot drop boxes.  Postal workers were found to be dumping huge numbers of ballots in dumpsters or in ditches along roadsides.  And when needed, those ballots, supposedly from drop boxes, were delivered by the truckload to polling places in the middle of the night.

While Trump is now stating publicly that he really did not win the last election, I think we all know the truth.  It’s more than obvious that there was extensive election fraud four years ago.  It was a stolen election, which anyone with an ounce of common sense can plainly see.  Biden himself stated, “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”  Indeed, they did.

And when examinations and recounts were demanded, Republican poll watchers were not allowed to be present.  Cardboard was put up to cover the windows of those polling places.  When court challenges took place, they were overseen by George Soros judges.  And the mainstream media was absolutely complicit in this greatest voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.

Now, let me cite the first amendment of our Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

But of course, Congress doesn’t and hasn’t made any laws like this.  They’ve never needed to.  Social media was simply ordered by the Biden Regime to censor the freedom of speech.  It was the Regime in power — not the Congress — that weaponized our justice system against doctors stating Ivermectin and HCQ were effective treatments for COVID.  It was the Regime that declared advocating for vitamins C and D as being beneficial for one’s immune system was “disinformation” and therefore must be banned.

And it was the Regime that set the trap on January 6 that has caught thousands of patriots as they sought to peaceably assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances.  The FBIis still hunting patriots and sending them to prison, for simply being in DC on that day.  And when Congress did an investigation into what the lying media said was an “insurrection,” 40,000 hours of video evidence was excluded.  Video showing the Capitol police holding the doors open for people to enter.  Video showing Capitol police giving guided tours to peaceful protestors... excluded.  Not allowed as evidence in their fake investigation.

To my knowledge, not a single one of the J6 defendants was allowed to use video evidence that would have exonerated them from any crime.  Many spent months and years in jail before they were even charged with a crime.  Others were let out on bail, but tormented by the government for months and months, and having lost everything, several committed suicide.

And they’re still hunting J6’ers.  In May of this year, four years after the event, a 71-year-old grandma from Colorado was convicted on four federal charges — for praying inside the Capitol building.  She’ll spend a year in prison.  And a friend of mine, a pastor, was just convicted for preaching there that day.  He’ll be spending 30 months in federal prison. 

Meanwhile, over these last four years, the Regime’s DOJ has been ruthlessly hunting pro-life Christians.  Many have just recently been sentenced to prison time — for praying outside an abortion facility.  Of course, they’ve never stopped persecuting Donald Trump.  Yet he’s still winning in the polls, because people are hoping to “make America great again.”

By that, they mean the ability to just be left alone by the government, rather than hunted down by it and falsely prosecuted by it, for not having their minds “right.”  They mean letting kids be kids, rather than brainwashing them to hate their country, their parents, their gender and God.  They mean not catering to the small percentage of pink-hairedLeftist lesbians whose main goal in life is to ensure as many babies are aborted — before and after birth — as possible.

In the meantime, we have been invaded by tens of thousands of violent criminals from nations that hate us and mean to do us harm.  Tens of thousands more gang members.  And millions that we really don’t know much about at all.  The world is on fire, and World War 3 is brewing.  We have Israel at war with it’s neighbors, we have Iran attacking Israel now, funded by the Biden and Obama and Harris Regime.  We have Ukraine begging for more money to fight Russia.  Several nations threatening a nuclear response.  And we have Chinese and Middle Eastern military members training for “something big” right here, right now, in our country.

Americans can’t afford food, housing, utilities and basic necessities.  Kamala’s using that  tired old threat of Social Security being bankrupt that they use every election cycle... odd that they always say that... no money for social security — which was ours to begin with, taxed when it was earned and taxed again if you get any back... but there’s always a bottomless blank-check for Ukraine, illegal invaders and avoiding government shutdowns.

Kamala says she’ll fix it all when she wins the White House.  Where has she been the last four years?  Trump says he’ll make America great again.  I’d love to see that, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone would want that job.  And after two attempts on his life so far, will he even make it to election day...to say nothing of another four years?

And still, so many tell me, over and over and over again, how they don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

COVID Cover-Up: Ex-Fauci Aide David Morens Opens Pandora’s Box

“I learned from our Foia lady here how to make emails disappear …”

Secret back channels, ways to make emails disappear, and dark jokes about kickbacks were explored during the testimony of former Anthony Fauci aide Dr. David Morens, who appeared before a House Select Subcommittee regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic this week. Under intense questioning from both sides of the political aisle, Morens statements raised “serious questions of whether Dr. Fauci took part in a conspiracy amongst the highest levels of NIAID [National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases] to hide official records regarding the origins of COVID-19,” according to a subcommittee memo penned by Republicans.

But there was plenty of fire coming from Democrats, as well. Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) said the quiet part out loud when he addressed Morens, saying: “Do you want to take the Fifth Amendment? I mean, you don’t seem to remember anything.” Then he added: “Sir, I think you’re going to be haunted by your testimony today.”

David Morens Private Work Emails Made Public

A FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request seeking the private emails of Morens and NIH (National Institute of Health) employee Gerald Keusch brought forth 155 pages of subpoenaed communications. These documents are a veritable treasure trove of what went on behind the scenes in the early days of the pandemic.

The emails occurred mostly between Morens and Dr. Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, whose project at the Wuhan Institute of Virology funded by NIH is at the epicenter of the controversy surrounding the origins of the deadly virus. The congressional subcommittee alleges that Daszak used money from NIH for gain-of-function research on coronaviruses.

David Morens, who worked under Fauci but apparently was friends with Daszak, came under questioning regarding several emails he had written, including this one:

“Peter, from Tony’s [Fauci] numerous recent comments to me, and from what Francis has been vocal about over the past 5 days, they are trying to protect you, which also protects their own reputations.”

On Feb. 24, 2021, Morens wrote to an undisclosed recipient the following:

“You are right, I need to be more careful. However, as I mentioned once before, I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’s [sic] but before the search starts, so I think we are all safe. Plus i deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail. D.”

Then there’s this one from Morens to co-worker Gerald Keusch under the subject heading “Conspiracies are winning here”:

“I had a long off the record chat with PBS Newshours’s Nick Schifrin this morning. The craziness is receding at least a bit.

“I forgot to clarify in my email yesterday that BOTH my gmail and phone calls are now safe. Text is NOT, as it can be FOIA’d, as can my govt email.

“So you and Peter and others should be able to email me on my gmail only …”

Then to Peter Daszak, Morens wrote:

“Peter have a stiffdrink before you read. But do not worry, this is the new normal and there will be no ‘there’ there …. D”


Another gmail from Morens to Daszak regarding FOIAs read:

“We are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns, and if we did we wouldn’t put them in emails and if we found them we’d delete them.”

The Washington Examiner reports that EcoHealth Alliance has denied any wrongdoing, saying that “all allegations of misconduct are misunderstandings of the circumstances and that the organization has not engaged in misconduct.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for the Department of Justice to investigate the use of private emails for public business purposes.

The Cult of Saint Fauci

By Rich Kozlovich

For longer than I care to think about Fauci has played the divinity role in varying degrees since the beginning of the false covid pandemic. An affliction that had somewhere between a 97% to 99.7% cure rate.   Before, when "He was science", any disagreement with his divine pronouncements, even when they contradicting previous pronouncements were sacrilege to the Cult of St. Fauci. 

It’s finally happened: Fauci has become a god in his own mind December 11, 2023 By Andrea Widburg - Anthony Fauci was a career bureaucrat. In most people’s minds, while bureaucrats have significant power—way more than any person, especially an unelected person, should have—no one would mistake them for gods. Yet Anthony Fauci has apparently had an apotheosis, at least in his own mind.  And yes, apotheosis is an obscure word. I picked it up somewhere along the line, either from history or literature. It comes from the Greek verb for “to deify” and means literally that: A living, or once-living, person has become divine. This doesn’t actually require a religious system. In North Korea, the whole Kim clan attained divine status despite the country’s fanatic opposition to traditional religions. The state is their church, so the head of the state is their god.....
 
Here is what an egotist and narcissist looks like: His name is Dr. Fauci - December 10, 2023 By Jack Hellner - Former chief medical advisor to the Biden White House and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci continuously lied to the public, president, and Congress during the COVID pandemic and destroyed a massive number of lives, including those of schoolchildren. His pronouncements and government edicts about COVID and calls for lockdowns were treated as gospel. They kept people out of church to pretend they could stop a virus, and many churches have not recovered. Think of how many businesses and individuals were destroyed because of dictatorial edicts he suggested. Politicians throughout the country falsely said all their rules were based on science, just because Fauci said so........ 
 
Dr. Fauci Says Practicing Catholicism Is a ‘Thing That I Don’t Really Need to Do’ - Olivia Rondeau Dr. Anthony Fauci is under fire after telling the BBC that practicing the Catholic faith is a “thing that I don’t really need to do.” During a recent appearance on the channel’s Influential with Katty Kay, President Joe Biden’s former medical adviser said he identifies as Catholic but doesn’t go to church because his “personal ethics” are “enough.”............ I think my own personal ethics on life are I think enough to keep me going on the right path,” Fauci answered. “And I think there are enough negative aspects about the organizational Church,” he continued, adding that Kay was “very well aware” of those aspects without listing them....... Thou shall worship lord Fauci because he ended up being wrong about everything. It’s science!!!!” one social media user wrote......[H]is ethics?!?!? oh please, still smug and indignant. He’ll cling to his lies forever............
 
My Take - The author misses the boat here, as so many of them do on a regular basis.  The question isn't whether or not he's a Catholic, a good one or a bad one.  Or for that matter a Protestant or some other Christian denomination, or not any at all. Especially since they've all had issues that are disturbing, especially these days since they're now becoming sects of the far left Church of Woke.  The question is this:  Does he distance himself over those kind of issues, or does he distance himself because he believes he's on a higher ethical plain than Judaic/Christian principles, and the churches that are supposed to be practicing and teaching them?  I go for the latter.   Which is kinda bold for a man caught up in so many lies and so much corruption.

Caught-Red-Handed’: Scientists Call for Full Retraction of Nature’s Proximal Origin Paper, as Fraud Accusations Mount

“‘Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,’ the authors wrote in February. Yet a trove of recently published documents reveal that Andersen and his co-authors believed that the lab leak scenario was not just possible, but likely.” ~ Jon Miltimore

  Jon Miltimore – July 31, 2023 @ American Institute for Economic Research

A growing number of people, including prominent scientists, are calling for a full retraction of a high-profile study published in the journal Nature in March 2020 that explored the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The paper, whose authors included immunology and microbiology professor Kristian G. Andersen, declared that evidence clearly showed that SARS-CoV-2 did not originate from a laboratory. “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” the authors wrote in February. 

Yet a trove of recently published documents reveal that Andersen and his co-authors believed that the lab leak scenario was not just possible, but likely. 

“[The] main thing still in my mind is that the lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario,” Andersen said to his colleagues, according to a report from Public, which published a series of Slack messages between the authors. 

Anderson was not the only author who privately expressed doubts that the virus had natural origins. Public cataloged dozens of statements from Andersen and his co-authors—Andrew Rambaut, W. Ian Lipkin, Edward C. Holmes, and Robert F. Garry—between the dates January 31 and February 28, 2020 suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may have been engineered.

” …the fact that we are discussing this shows how plausible it is,” Garry said of the lab-leak hypothesis. “We unfortunately can’t refute the lab leak hypothesis,” Andersen said on Feb. 20, several days after the authors published their pre-print.  To complicate matters further, new reporting from The Intercept reveals that Anderson had an $8.9 million grant with NIH pending final approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci when the Proximal Origin paper was submitted. 

‘Fraud and Scientific Misconduct’?

The findings have led several prominent figures to accuse the authors of outright deception. Richard H. Ebright, the Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, called the paper “scientific fraud.”  “The 2020 ‘Proximal Origin’ paper falsely claimed science showed COVID-19 did not have a lab origin,” tweeted Ebright. “Newly released messages from the authors show they did not believe the conclusions of the paper and show the paper is the product of scientific fraud and scientific misconduct.” Ebright and Silver are among those pushing a petition urging Nature to retract the article in light of these findings. Among those to sign the petition was Neil Harrison, a professor of anesthesiology and molecular pharmacology at Columbia University. 

“Virologists and their allies have produced a number of papers that purport to show that the virus was of natural origin and that the pandemic began at the Huanan seafood market,” Harrison told The Telegraph. “In fact there is no evidence for either of these conclusions, and the email and Slack messages among the authors show that they knew at the time that this was the case.”

Only ‘Expressing Opinions’?

Dr. Joao Monteiro, chief editor of Nature, has rebuffed calls for a retraction, The Telegraph notes, saying the authors were merely “expressing opinions.”

This claim is dubious at best. From the beginning, the Proximal Origin study was presented as authoritative and scientific. Jeremy Farrar, a British medical researcher and now the chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO), told USA Today that Proximal Origin was the “most important research on the genomic epidemiology of the origins of this virus to date.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, speaking from the White House podium in April 2020, cited the study as evidence that the mutations of the virus were “totally consistent with a jump from a species of an animal to a human.” Fact-check organizations were soon citing the study as proof that COVID-19 “could not have been manipulated.” 

Far from being presented as a handful of scientists “expressing opinions,” the Proximal Origin study was treated as gospel, a dogma that could not even be questioned. This allowed social media companies (working hand-in-hand with government agencies) to censor people who publicly stated what Andersen and his colleagues were saying privately—that it seemed plausible that SARS-CoV-2 came from the laboratory in Wuhan that experimented on coronaviruses and had a checkered safety record.

Indeed, even as media and government officials used the Proximal Origin study to smear people as conspiracy theorists for speculating that COVID-19 might have emerged from the Wuhan lab, a Defense Intelligence Agency study commissioned by the government questioned the study’s scientific rigor.  

“The arguments that Andersen et al. use to support a natural-origin scenario for SARS CoV-2 are based not on scientific analysis, but on unwarranted assumptions,” the now-declassified paper concluded. “In fact, the features of SARS-CoV-2 noted by Andersen et al. are consistent with another scenario: that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in a laboratory…” 

Despite the many problems with the study’s findings, Monteiro continues to resist calls for retraction—perhaps because Monteiro himself publicly inferred that the lab leak hypothesis was a conspiracy theory in March, 2020.  Whatever the case, it remains unclear how long Monteiro can resist calls for a retraction in face of overwhelming evidence of scientific misconduct.    “There can be no doubt the Proximal Origin authors consciously and inappropriately downplayed the #COVID19 research-related origin hypothesis and coordinated efforts manipulating media coverage,” said Jamie Metzl, a former Clinton administration official and a WHO expert advisory committee on human genome editing appointee. 

Power, Accountability, and Impunity 

Why there was such intense pressure to declare that SARS-CoV-2 was of natural origin is obvious today.  The federal government was funding risky coronavirus research at Wuhan Institute of Virology, which would make officials complicit to some degree in a leak of a deadly virus. This is no doubt why the government had an interest in funding the study, which gave them a measure of control over its results. “Jeremy Farrar and Francis Collins [then director of the National Institutes of Health] are very happy. Works for me,” Holmes Slacked his colleagues after the pre-print was submitted.   The Proximal Origin paper increasingly looks like a whitewashing job, and some influential people have noticed. 

“This is a huge scandal,” said statistician and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver. “Scientists like @K_G_Andersen believed a lab leak was extremely plausible, if not likely, they concocted a plan to deceive the public about it, and they’ve been caught red-handed.”   Silver is not wrong; yet so far, no one has been held accountable. 

This lack of accountability is concerning, and to understand why it’s worth consulting age-old concepts of power and justice. As FEE’s Dan Sanchez has observed, power is not the mere exertion of unjust force. True power lies in the use of force and the absence of any accountability.   “Systematically getting away with it—or impunity—is where power truly lies,” wrote Sanchez.

In his famous work Republic, Plato showed what raw power looked like. The legendary “Ring of Gyges” did not make one strong. It made one invisible. This did not mean the wearer could do anything he wanted, but it did mean he would never be held accountable for his acts of injustice. 

This is the most frightening part of raw state power. The greatest danger is not that people will act unethically. It’s not even that state actors will commit crimes to serve “a greater good.” The real danger begins when people are not held accountable—even when they are caught “red-handed.”

Tyranny or the Rule of Law? That's the Choice! Part One

Is Rule of Law Dead in America? If laws do not mean what they say, then they mean nothing at all. And if those laws are not applied equally to everyone, then the constitutional republic, once described as a shining city on a hill, has fallen into rot and disrepair. In the face of this corruption, what can the American people do? Paul Engel

 By Rich Kozlovich

I'm going to move into some near history to start this narrative, since that lays groundwork allowing us to see the pattern of corruption and treason being played out.  

There was a lot of green house gas emitted by the left because Steve Bannon, who I don't like all that much, was been found guilty of Contempt of Congress.  Contempt of Congress, I can't help but chuckle to myself every time I write that, hear it, or say it.  Why?  Because you can hardly walk the streets of America without tripping over contempt for these nitwits, and yet apparently they have to "find" it. 

 Imagine that!

First, he was found guilty a DC court.  That was a forgone conclusion.  The juries as well as the jurists in Washington are blatantly corrupt in their approach to law.   The "Honorable". Carl J. Nichols, the jurist presiding over the Bannon trial, by limiting the witnesses Bannon could call in his defense, seemed to make inevitable a guilty verdict. Was Bannon found guilty because jury and judge feared a mob reaction if he were acquitted?

This will be appealed and overturned as the "Honorable" Carl J. Nichols",  a clearly biased judge refused to allow his defense witnesses or arguments, especially that this January 6th commission is an illegal because the House is required to have both parties represented on these committees and Pelosi refused the Republican's members, instead making the choice for them, against the will of the Republican leadership

David Zukerman asks these questions of the judge and the jury:

  • Were they afraid of mob violence if he was found innocent? 
  • Are you concerned that if you find the defendant not guilty of refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by a House committee completely hand-picked by Speaker Pelosi, contrary to the rules of the committee, your home will be targeted for protests?

So, these leftists rigged the trial to make sure a totally inappropriate guilty verdict was delivered?   And they did that for the good of the nation?   All in order to protect who?  And from whom, their fellow corrupt leftists at BLM, OR ANTIFA?  

Let's move on.

It's been clear for so long that Fauci is corrupt to the core, lying to everyone, including President Trump.  Now that the House has been returned to the Republicans, the Member of Congress that is an absolute bloodhound when it comes to these political criminals is Jim Jordan, and he says they're going after him. Fauci lied, and untold millions died.  Why hasn't he been charged with crimes, and especially crimes against humanity?  

Jordan notes "Congress could issue a criminal referral to prosecute Fauci, but it won't happen".  

There "could be a referral, but you would refer it to the Biden Justice Department.  I don't know that — they're going to pursue that, but you can definitely do that,"........"We could do a referral potentially.  I would, frankly, prefer just to have Dr. Fauci come back in and take another round of questions here, but we're building the case".......

Those who attempted to expose his lies were "censored, blacklisted, and mocked".  "Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Fauci would go to jail under any "sane system."  Cruz went on to say:

"There has been no person who has done more to destroy trust in the scientific and medical community than Dr. Anthony Fauci, who told millions of Americans lies willingly, knowingly, glibly, supremely arrogantly," "Should there be accountability?  In any sane system he would be prosecuted for lying under oath, and he would go to jail for lying under oath to Congress".........

Sen. Paul: 'Prior COVID Infection is Protective,' But Fauci 'Dismissed It' and 'Thousands Died in Nursing Homes'Yet there is no indictment or any effort by the Biden administration to do a thing against this criminal.  What have we become?   The Biden administration is fluent in dishonesty, and rife with corruption, replete with incompetence, and treason can only explain their actions, and from the top down.  And the media, in it's collusive corruption, is incapable of seeing the lava flow of treasonous criminal activity that's obvious to the most casual observer. 
 
A Haunting Anniversary by Julie Kelly on March 16, 2023 noted:

As we approach the third anniversary of “15 Days to Slow the Spread” there remains no accountability and no assurances that it couldn’t happen again. ............It is a day, and a decision, that will live in infamy. Trump, of course, is not solely responsible.... 
 
(Editor's Note:  Trump isn't responsible at all.  He relied on government "experts" who lied to him, Fauci ‘Orchestrated an Elaborate Cover-Up’ in First Days of Pandemic.  Now they're attempting to excoriate Trump, and if he'd have ignored them, they'd have demanded his head.  Get over it! RK)  
 
Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx shrewdly won the affection and trust of the American people early on, so any move contrary to their counsel would have created an even bigger crisis in the White House. Prior to the official declaration, Republican governors warned shut downs were imminent. Congressional Republicans with a few exceptions—Rep. Tom Massie (R-Ky.) comes to mind—grasped the devastating impact on the most vulnerable, especially children, the poor, and the elderly. The national news media amplified the untested “mitigation” approach without a shred of skepticism..........Public health “experts” became international celebrities simply by making up data and forecasting unrealized predictions of doom and death. Local police officers ran joggers off public beaches.........
 

Let's get over this idea scientists are all about truth.  Truth is no longer, and hasn't for many decades, the golden calf of science.  It's now grant money, and as a result of all this lying and corruption,  Dr. Tony Fauci Increased Personal Wealth from $7.6 Million to $12.6 Million During Pandemic – A 65% Increase in Wealth! (VIDEO)
 
The end result? Death rates are substantially higher than normal, and now that the science is so overwhelming that it can no longer be ignored, it's being openly stated, the mRNA vaccines are neither safe nor effective, but outright dangerous.

‘Some People Locked Down Something’

By May 04, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

“Something clearly went wrong. And I don’t know exactly what it was,” Dr. Fauci claimed on the latest and perhaps last leg of his publicity tour.

The man who used to have all the answers now has none. Once there were votive candles and t-shirts being sold with his smug face on it. Now his formerly authoritative answers are all in the passive voice. “Things could have been done differently,” he concedes.

Fauci unintentionally echoes Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comment on 9/11. “Some people did something.” And some people locked down something. But it certainly wasn’t him.

“I’m not an economist,” he protests in a New York Times interview and passes the buck to elected officials for the shutdown. “It was for other people to make broader assessments.”

“But when people say, ‘Fauci shut down the economy’ — it wasn’t Fauci,” Fauci says, falling into the third person. “The C.D.C. was the organization that made those recommendations. I happened to be perceived as the personification of the recommendations. But show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did.”

After spending over a year yelling at anyone who wanted to open schools, Fauci knows nothing.

Three years ago, Fauci responded to the DeSantis push to reopen Florida schools by warning that kids will be infected at a White House briefing. In August, he claimed that images of kids in Georgia schools were “disturbing”. Show me a school, indeed.

Teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten, who called reopening schools, “reckless, callous, cruel” has gone on her own media tour falsely claiming that she wanted schools open. Deep into 2021, Weingarten was still doing everything possible to sabotage school reopenings, this time using the CDC as a hand puppet with the complicity of the Biden administration.

Now the teachers’ union protest rallies, the parades of union members bearing coffins, claiming that they would die if they had to get back to work, the years of learning loss, are all forgotten.

“We know that kids learn best in person, so opening schools safely—even as the pandemic surged—guided the AFT’s every action,” Weingarten told a House hearing.

Like Weingarten’s threat of “safety strikes” to keep schools from reopening.

Locally, unions fought ruthlessly and mercilessly to keep from having to do their jobs and at least pretend to give kids an education.

“After Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed a hybrid in-person learning plan, the Chicago Teachers Union threatened a strike, and then claimed victory when she backed down and agreed to retain online-only learning. Teachers unions in Florida, California, and elsewhere have sued to block in-person instruction. In Detroit, union activists ‘stood outside one of the district’s bus terminals beginning at 5 a.m., blocking buses from leaving to pick up students to take them to school.’ The Los Angeles teachers union insisted ‘going back to normal is not an option,'” Jonathan Chait at the New Yorker summed up.

The unions, like most of the lockdowners, have emerged from the disaster they caused stronger than ever. The latest series of negotiations has only further fattened their bulging pockets.

United Teachers Los Angeles, which had fought to keep schools closed longer than most of the country, walked away from its latest three-day strike with a 21% pay hike and lower class sizes.

“There is no such thing as learning loss.” UTLA boss Cecily Myart-Cruz had sneered. “Our kids didn’t lose anything.”

The kids lost, but UTLA only gained.

It’s not just Fauci or the teachers. Not a single national or local elected official of any note paid the price for the lockdowns. Gov. Newsom in California emerged from all the lockdown abuses as the next in line for the presidential nomination. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer survived her reelection battle in Michigan. So did Gov. Murphy in New Jersey and Gov. Pritzker in Illinois.

Forget holding Fauci or Randi accountable when voters wouldn’t even hold incumbent elected officials accountable by simply voting against them even with the damage in front of their eyes.

Gov. Cuomo of New York’s downfall did not come from the lockdowns, the lies, the thousands of nursing home deaths or the illegal discrimination campaign against Orthodox Jews, but an unrelated #MeToo issue whipped up to keep him from becoming a White House competitor.

And few governors who did the right thing are likely to see any political rewards from it.

Proponents of lockdowns rewrote the past and moved on. The lockdowns have become someone else’s fault. The buck gets passed around and never ends up anywhere. Elected officials blame unelected officials. Unelected officials blame elected officials. Randi Weingarten blames everyone else. And then they all get together afterward and have some drinks.

Despite the catastrophic damage inflicted on small businesses, children and public trust, there has been no accountability even among the demographics that were most outraged about the lockdowns. The lockdowners gambled that the outrage would fade and they were right.

All of this has dangerous implications beyond COVID-19 and its aftermath.

To understand why Democrats have become so brazen about sexualizing children or legalizing crime, lockdowns were a test case in public outrage. And the public failed. If voters failed to hold elected officials (never mind unelected officials) accountable for wrecking the lives of their children by shutting down schools, what’s left to prevent them from pushing even harder?

The Biden administration has become even more radical than its Obama predecessor because its party has survived everything. The secret of its success, which included sailing through midterms in a time of rising economic outrage and misery, can be found in the lockdowns, in Fauci and Randi denying that they did anything to shut down a single school.

Between the media, the entertainment industry, social media and and the internet’s monopolies, the Left controls the high ground of communications and can saturate it with a single consistent message. That message may be and often is a complete lie, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that there’s no organized conservative opposition that has an equally clear message.

The Left is ushering in a country with no past. A year later the lockdowns had become ancient history in the national debate. Two years later most people had already moved on to the next battleground. Without being able to focus on anything, victory becomes impossible.

As the rate of radical change accelerates, issues become virtually meaningless as anything except momentary clickbait. The Left knows that the faster it goes, the less focused outrage there will be. Incremental changes that took a decade generated successful resistance movements, but those that happen over the course of a year or two are success stories. By the time outrage germinates into serious pushback, the issue is already in the rearview mirror.

The lockdowns may be behind us, but their legacy is also in front of us. They demonstrated conclusively that elected and unelected officials do not have to worry about the public no matter how much harm they inflict on them because there will always be another distraction tomorrow.

In a recent interview, Fauci suggested that he might have tried to implement lockdowns even earlier beginning in February instead. While he may not be in a position, others will, and they will do it without any hypothetical fears that, Democrats or Republicans, lockdown supporters will pay any price for it. If you can destroy America and walk away from it, why not do it again?
