CIA Whistleblower: Fauci Ordered the Cover-Up About the America-Funded Wuhan Lab's Creation of the Covid Virus

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

NEW: Active CIA employee James Erdman testifies in the Senate that in August 2021, the intelligence community was prepared to determine that the COVID-19 pandemic likely began as a leak from a Chinese lab, but days later, that changed after Dr. Anthony Fauci "injected himself" into conversations and "significantly influenced" them.

Fox News
@FoxNews

BREAKING: "Dr. Fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional."

CIA whistleblower James Erdman III lays out the "cover-up" of the COVID pandemic, claiming scientists and analysts were skewed from the start, all stemming from Dr. Anthony Fauci.

"Public health policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an emergency use authorization M-RNA products."

He testifies that once it became apparent that covid probably leaked from the Wuhan lab, Fauci "injected himself" into the process, gathering a carefully "curated" list of "experts" -- his personal cronies and people dependent on his grants to live -- to claim it was a naturally-evolved virus.

He also goes back to 2015, testifying that Fauci and his cronies rewrote the definition of "gain of function" to evade the ban on federal taxpayer funding for gain-of-function frankenvirus creation.

He also says that CIA scientists found that covid was likely manufactured in the lab -- but were "retaliated" against by "CIA managers" for not going along with the Fauci lie.

And they did so at the behest of Anthony Fauci.

🚨 CIA Whistleblower reveals that despite a majority of CIA scientists concluding COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan, Anthony Fauci was able to convince high-ranking intel officials to change the assessment from a lab leak to neutral.

@GuntherEagleman

🚨 BOOM. Career CIA Operations Officer just testified under oath: The COVID lab leak was a deliberate COVER-UP, and Dr. Fauci was in the middle of it.

"I am a career CIA Operations officer... The Intelligence Community's actions resulted in a cover-up."

- IC leaders downplayed the lab leak on purpose.

- Fauci intentionally rigged the process by stacking the deck with his conflicted buddies, the same "Proximal Origin" clowns who pushed the natural origin lie.

- They knew it came from Wuhan. They hid it.

- That lie was used to ram through emergency use mandates on experimental shots while crushing anyone who told the truth.

Millions of lives destroyed. Trillions wasted. Small businesses gutted. Kids masked and isolated. All because the "experts" and deep state didn't want to admit China cooked this thing up and Fauci helped cover their rear end.

I think Fauci was more concerned the public would find out that he rigged the fake "gain of function" definition so that he could send taxpayer money to his buddy Peter Daszack with the understanding that Daszack would then immediately sub-grant that money to Wuhan.

He was protecting his own role in the engineered mass-murder, not China's. I mean, yes, he was protecting China too, but China was a collateral beneficiary.

Erdman worked for the D.I.G., the Director's Initiatives Group.

The CIA spied on this group, bugging their phones and computers, because they were exposing the truth of Fauci's, and the CIA's, cover up of their active and central role in global mass murder.

Catherine Herridge
@C__Herridge

58m

As early as February, I began receiving credible reporting that @DNIGabbard
's investigative team was being track and communications collected because their work was revealing "uncomfortable facts."

Today, James Erdman alleged to Congress the CIA illegally spied on the computer and phones belonging to the Director's Initiatives Group, along with their investigations and contact with whistleblowers.

@CIASpox said, "The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous."

They're still covering up. People are wondering how it is that a CIA under Trump's control is still pumping out this self-serving cover-up garbage.

Unless this means they will bulldoze everything Fauci owns into a giant pile with his demolished house on his clearcut estate, and then put him in a small cage while it is all burned to ash, and he has his pension and investments stripped from him and is allowed to live in subsidized senior housing with a social security benefit of $700 per month, then I don't think justice has been served.

State charges are not precluded by any federal pardon. Same thing with litigation. Fauci acted ultra vires outside the law governing his position and thus can be made penniless from personal liability for the deaths. I think going into the emails, comms, and co conspirators, if Trump and DoJ really want to stop future iterations of this, those can be handed on a silver salver to state officials that are sympathetic to charging not only Fauci, but Pfizer and Moderna executives as well.

So Fraudci's claim that Rand Paul didn't know what he was talking about when it came to "gain of function" might be because Fraudci hadn't let Paul know that he had just changed the definition again!

Posted by: Mister Scott

He did have power over the IC. It is the confluence of the IC/DoD and these foreign labs, likely for keeping tabs on the Chicoms and Ukrainians, that Fauci funded on their behalf through Peter Daslak (not pardoned btw).

From Brave AI
"Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, received millions in U.S. government grants—some approved under Fauci’s leadership at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—to conduct gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists.

Emails and investigations have revealed close coordination between Fauci, Daszak, and Fauci’s top aide, David Morens. Daszak thanked Fauci in April 2020 for publicly dismissing lab-leak theories, calling his comments helpful in dispelling "myths" about the virus originating from the Wuhan lab. In 2021, "

Morens is the one facing charges.

I unquestionably believe that the COVID Virus came from Frogs having Gay Sex with Hamsters at the Wuhan Lab. One night the Hamsters plotted their escape and made to a Cargo Ship heading the the USA.

She needs to be taken apart as well. Maybe even physically.

And guess who was Birx sponsor for that shit, Judas Pence. The rot in the first Adminstration stems from him and his Never Trumper hires. Like Troye, Ayers, etc. Pence was put in charge of the Covid response if you remember.

Trump fcked up on that, he apparently trusted Pence's schtick of being the good Christian and loyal follower. In truth, he is of the devil.

For that matter they have an Exclusion for Experimental medical trials and Emergency vaccines too. Never heard a peep out of any of them. The whole thing exposed the inherent Rot in government, local, state, federal, global.

" Public health" has been political from the get-go really, but one thing I learned is how doctors, and the medical system and supposedly private research system is just a bunch of flunkies for the powers that be.

Far from being men of science relentlessly pursuing the truth following wherever the evidence leads, they just do what their told. Their funding and careers depend on it.

The few doctors and scientists who did speak out against the narrative, boy, how they were attacked. Medical review boards calling them on the carpet etc, etc.

I still think it was an intentional release by the ChiComs to short-circuit the protests which were going on in Hong Kong and spreading to other provinces/cities. They were serious enough that the Western press was starting to speculate that they could bring down the commie regime.

Force everyone to stay indoors and then start welding the doors shut and people can't protest in the streets.

Releasing in Wuhan near the originating lab was the ChiComs being clever. If it was released in HK first, then that would cause problems internationally, rather like Tienanmen Square. But the virus got away from them and they lost control.

Oops.

That's why their public statements were so weird. At various times they blamed the US, Italy, Australia etc. They weren't ready with the propaganda and had to improvise.

I still think the release of Covid was purposeful by the Chinese under the guise that it would not fully effect the producers in that country, and it WOULD target the elderly and infirm, thus removing the growing expense of societies parasites. And, it would be local (a test). Only, it kept spreading, so China opted to limit damages by spreading it internationally.

Then there is Zhou Yusen, a researcher and top scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and a PLA military scientist. He "accidentally" fell off the roof of the Wuhan lab three months after patenting a vaccine for Covid (which started in advance of the Covid release). He went splat. I call it zìwěn. Honorable Chinese suicide.

China wanted to cut their domestic costs, and pissed the bed in the process. All stemming back to the "one child rule" and how they have too many benefactors and not enough producers.

I disagree, I think the release was accidental, people stealing contaminated bodies and selling them out at the nearby market. That sort of crap goes on routinely in China.

Where China got in was the releasing it world-wide and boosting the world wide lockdowns so they would not lose ground to the world. China's problems with HK postdate Covid IIRC.

I think they had no part in the initial cover-up. But they did try to impose some sort of knee-jerk automatic response in the general public that we HAD to do whatever they commanded, in the name of public health, OR ELSE! The shots are effective, 94%, lie, they last forever, lie, there are no side-effects, lie, social distancing is effective, lie, any mask was effective, lie, plexi-glass shields were effective, actually made things worse. I think they have permanently destroyed any faith people may have had in them. Which will likely tarnish others who actually follow the science and are genuinely trying to help.

Posted by: Orson at May 13, 2026 03:40 PM (dIske)

At that point the real estate bubble "solution" for the elderly had not blown up in their faces like it is now, and their response to outbreaks was to weld everyone in their houses not just the infirm. It seems fairly risk taking for a group that hasn't been known for it.

Iran. There’s a growing chorus that wants him to slam the door shut on that conflict, and he’s holding it open

Doctor is a job. Yes, yes there are brilliant House types, and tireless patient advocates but for most people it is like any other job. The corp you work for sets the rules, you do your job, then you go home.

163 Truman hated Donovan, and was suspicious of what turned out to be the new agency, CIA.

The OSS set the precedent of “unvouchered funds” out of some executive account of FDR.

It was under Allen Dulles, the Eisenhower administration, where things really went off the rails, just from the stuff we know about.

Kennedy got burned badly, because (apparently) they thought he would green light air support for the Bay of Pigs debacle. He did not, and pissed a lot of people off.

This, 1000%. My blood cancer doc said I was his most informed patient at my last appointment. This was said as a good thing and is a good thing, b/c he knows I press him for good treatment, but he also doesn't have to waste his precious time explaining the obvious about my cancer and treatment to me. So, I can tell him what matters and he can do the same.

Now on year 6 of a cancer that should have killed me in 2-5 and not going anywhere soon...although new treatment coming this summer, so back in the hurry up and test everything phase and get plans and insurance approvals done...

Retirement would never give him the thrill of getting away with shit and being master of his universe. That is why they do it, not for the money, not for the accolades, but to do evil.

207 I have a theory on what Nolan is doing with The Odyssey.

I don't know if anyone saw it, but there was an in-theater only teaser last Christmas. In it, Menelaus invites tales of Odysseus to be told.

We've also found out that Travis Scott is in the film, and the one photo of him from the movie is him obviously in Ithaca.

The Odyssey was also told by Homer orally, meaning it's part of the oral tradition.

So...the story of Odysseus is going to be told by the people in Ithaca as they wait for Penelope to tell them who she's going to marry. And Scott will tell of the end of the Trojan War when Helen was there.

And because Scott is black, his telling of Helen will be black.

If that's the case, I think it's a clever way to get in diversity hires and actually make it make sense.

Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished." He cites the Virginia Constitution itself for that (aka Locke's Social Contract theory inserted into it.)

Batshit crazy stuff that may provide evidence that Elias is about to be indicted by being questioned or told he is a target before a grand jury.

- Chinese are not galaxy-brained superhumans that could pull it off
- "If you can cheat, cheat" is an oft repeated maxim.

A lot of the cloud people are simply sociopaths--to them other people are 'things', not people and can be manipulated even to their destruction as 'things' if they bollix up what the cloud people want to do.

Psychopaths get literal enjoyment from it and often exhibit extreme cruelty for no other reason than to revel in evil. Sand fleas and beagles under Fauci along with injecting poor orphan children with lethal AZT drugs that didn't work (like remdesivir in Covid) but caused nasty painful deaths in both cases.

Except in the West Virginia secession from VA. Scotus ruled that if the state is no longer a United States state, then of course it can be divided by a simple act of Congress. And that is likely what would happen if the GOP was running DC and the blue states try to secede. Tennessee was weird as the rump Eastern Tennessee was recognized as the legitimate government over the whole state.

But in case of secession, blue states will be carved up like Turkeys as Democrats have become an urban phenomenon and not a national party anymore.

274 Anarchy is not good in a country with nukes, missiles, and all other sorts of nasty stuff that warlordism might use. My guess is a military dictatorship just like the IRGC.

Another good point Isaacman made, which I hadn't thought about was the following: Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh, an American astronomer, in 1930 out at the Lowell Observatory.

By demoting it, they took away the honors of the only American to discover a planet.

I hadn't thought about that before.

Unresolved, Texas entered by treaty but seceded a few years later in the ACW. Some argue the secession vitiated the treaty obligations, others do not because re-admittance legislation in Reconstruction had no such requirement for Texas to renounce it.

Chinese army was always a major player in politics, not as much in Russian curiously. But most of Mao's buddies were active fighters in the wars against Chiang's forces and the Japanese, not so true of those that survived in Russia--might have been different if Trotsky had survived and taken out Stalin but that did not happen.

But, Xi is definitely afraid of the Chicom Army taking him out which is why the purges were carried out. Including some of his erstwhile proteges. That is the problem when Xi went for Mao Supreme Leader status rather than the collegial junta with first among equal status of the older post Mao governments.

But the bond holders are all Jews, so everything's cool!
Posted by: Auspex

Ours is solvable. Inflating the debt away and if necessary defaulting on foreign owners of that debt. Will have really bad consequences but doable. China's is estimated at least 200-300 percent of GDP when considering local and government owned companies. It takes extreme measures to correct that especially as it is absent foreign ownership of that debt. It means massive austerity across the board of generations that touched the peak in std. of living and now are suffering the downslide.

That is tougher to survive as a regime than somewhere like North Korea where the poor peasantry have never risen up in living standards in the first place.

It will take force to do that austerity and then anything can happen.

I guess the Kurds finally got tired of being buttfucked by the CIA.

The obvious route would have been mass urban airdrops of Resistance Care packages containing a Glock with a box of ammo, 1 lb of C4 and a simple detonator and some simple instructions. But Nooooooo, some thumb-sucker Donk CIA executive probably nixed that idea because giving common people handguns is bad.

I'm a tech for a printer company. I go to different firms and office scattered around the Philly region. Today, I was at a site where all of the workers were minorities. I was the only white person there. Most of the time, there's no issue, everyone gets along. Today, however, they were playing the local hip-hop station on the radio. In between songs, the DJ's and host were ripping Trump, SCOTUS, the South, etc. For some reason, they were really dumping on Scott Jennings. Not just boilerplate lefty hate, some of the stuff was risible. I'm wondering if I should complain about it and put a target on my back (everyone would know it was me), or just shake my head and marvel at the ignorance. I mean, if I came in and started blasting Sirius Patriot or some other RW talk show, I'd be sent to HR in a heartbeat. I don't want to argue about this shit in a corporate setting.

About 5-6 years ago, the ChiCom Navy boosted the power of their political officers on their ships overnight. To the point where a ship captain had to get EVERY order countersigned by the political officer, including things like maneuver commands. Want to make left full rudder to avoid running the ship into the beach? Make sure that the commissar isn't off the bridge taking a piss.

It got bad enough that the US Navy sent a warning bulletin to every ship, warning them about the changes and the expectation that Chinese actions would take longer because of the need for commissar approval.
