REVENGE: Tulsi Gabbard’s LAST Act As Intel Director is to BLOW UP Deep State With DEADLY Revelation…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEp_yb3ZupA&#038;t=339s
9m, 12Jun26, by Benny Johnson.

HEADLINE GRABBER: the US has sponsored 120 genetic engineering labs throughout the world, including 40 alone in Ukraine!

Benny first unfurls the Tulsi Gabbard X.com posts by her today, but from 4-8 minutes, he lets Gabbard speak freely in video from the office of the Director of National Intelligence. It is alarming and sobering confirmation.

But at the beginning of May, comes this comprehensive and sinister revelation, albeit long suspected. Epoch Times columnist Jeffrey Tucked, explains the real course and politics of COVID crisis management at the top of US Public Health from 2019 until today.

Trump DOJ Begins Delivering LONG-AWAITED [NIH-Covid and Vax] Reckoning

Jesse Kelly at YT
2May26, 11m
Interview with Jeffrey Tucker, The Brownstone Institute 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HuaQBFEbuQ

David Morens, Fauci’s longtime assistant and longtime collaborator of 25 years, has been indicted by the DOJ. Destruction of evidence, as well as bribes and blackmail, are involved.

The indictment alleges that Morens used his private email to circumvent public records laws and falsified records to suppress
unsanctioned theories about the origins of the Covid pandemic.

Tucker thinks it is likely that Morens betrays enough self-conscience of wrong-doing that the Federal prosecutors believe he will sing about others, including Fauci himself.

The Wuhan Lab in China leaked a new SARS related pathogen, recognized in January to February of 2019. They believed themselves responsible for the leak and would be blamed for unleashing a global pandemic.

Their first response was to cover up! Maintain as authorities in public service  that the Covid virus had zoonotic origins, and not a dangerous lab leak.

Thus, they unleashed a small team of scientists to lay down the Party Line:  they are just ordered to do it. In fact, as FOIA’d material shows, even they disbelieved the case they’d delivered. But they did get lucrative NIH grants from Biden to keep them inline. Corrupt?

Next, the top cabal found out that Pfizer and Moderna were working on a novel mRNA preventive to vaccinate against Covid. This meant that instead of goats, they could instead hold themselves out as the great heroic saviours of humanity from a world-wide pandemic.

But then, timing and actual effectiveness questions arose.

First, if the virus runs through a population, then natural immunity will damper their hoped for “success.” Ergo, they imposed lockdowns, and social distancing rules to keep people from spreading the contagion. Close churches, close schools, ban meetings of any or all sorts.

President Trump went along with this on the promise that it could be delivered by the summer of 2019.

Then the cabal realized that this would be an opportunity to drive Trump from office! The deep state hates him. He was a danger to the country, whom many thought was a Russian asset.

And therefore, they decided to keep the stay at home rules and social distancing measures going through the summer, and it was pushed on into the Fall before the November election. The CDC in mid-March had already recommended mail-in ballots for this emergency. Election systems could be reconfigured to make their output easily bent to secure results for the Democratic candidate, Biden.

The cabal was on a roll! And thus Trump could not stop the bureaucracies ruling in his stead. And David Morens was privy to all of this scheming and calculating. From assistant to the keeper of Fauci’s secrets to becoming his henchman, outlines his transition as official US Public Health leader.

But the final problem that did not bend to their will was that the shot did not work — or at least too briefly to becomes a success. Furthermore, data began to accumulate that the defects of the vax were many, and some perturbing.

So, for a year and then a year and a half this Top Down scheme 
continued just to coverup a lab leak, finding out in the end that the “solution” failed!

The cabal wasn’t done yet. They covered up the ineffective vax in 202 to ‘22, and it continues down to today.

Tucker hope this investigation and prosecution exposes it all.
The missing mass outrage is deafening.

All THIS, including destroying people’s businesses, their education, and lives, after using the US people as lab rats.
All of THIS, to coverup secret lab funding in “gain of function” research paid by the US government, and avoid their culpability

This Public Health cabal betrays “A shocking level of malevolence”, says Tucker, not seen in our lifetimes before, because they schemed to use the US people as their guinea pigs, namely, from no mask to mask and distancing national orders. And the fulfilment of authoritarian dreams by bureaucrats became our nightmares.

And yet this story, if true, is certainly stranger than any fiction writer would offer in a techno-thriller novel or film.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A long post (or two) from me, on matters well-deserving contemplation until Monday.

Victor David  Hanson’s latest! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECLmqUYoyLE   My suggestion? Go to about the 55m mark. 

The earlier 10 or so minutes finds VDH explaining the Washington biography relevant to the coming wide release Angel Studios film for July 4 — the 250th “Independence Day” celebration — for “Young Washington”. Solid bio, basic info review.

In the 20m AFTER the 55m mark comes VDH answering the more immediately pressing question for our times, in effect, “Was the Presidency of Joel Biden the worst 4 (and a half, to include Democrat campaign propaganda) years in US Presidential history?”

YES, it was. 

Detail after detail rolls on, after fact and follies are named. Horrendous, Although I missed if he framed it this way or not, this is the salient question he cogently answers.

I imagine it’s length here and now stems from Victor David Hanson’s soon to be released new book on the Trump era, since the Biden years are Trump’s presidential interregnum. Simply, a devastating case.

It truly was Obama’s 3rd term wielding power like a monkey at the carny row through his Deep State worshippers.

It is worth bookmarking for future reference. It’s damning. And as the leftist revisionists are always scribbling their lies, you’ll want this 20 some minutes of VDH to rebuke these soft heads and CommieKKKrats for years to come.]]></description>
