ICYMI: DOE Determines Covid Leaked From China's Wuhan Bat Virus Lab, Which Was So Obvious That Everyone Except the Technocratic Non-Elite Have Known It For Years

Instapundit:

The Wall Street Journal reported this morning that the Department of Energy now believes, or now admits to knowing, that the Wuhan Flu came from the Wuhan bioweapons lab that designed it.

JJ Sefton wrote this morning:

The junta, in its own quiet sort of way, has basically admitted what we've suspected for the past three years and was more or less confirmed since then by independent and unimpeachable sources that the General Tso's Sicken, also known as Chinese COVID-19 did in fact originate in a Chi-Com level 4 bioweapons lab in Wuhan, and not from a wet market conveniently located next door.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday the Energy Department’s revised assessment of the pandemic’s origins is based on fresh intelligence noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’ office.
The WSJ further states while the investigation is ongoing, more authorities are coming to the lab leak hypothesis however there is as yet no unanimous decision:

The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory.
Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.
. . . Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) doubled down on questions addressing the origins of the Chinese coronavirus as far back as 2021, noting the lab leak hypothesis was “always reasonable” but quickly denounced as a conspiracy theory by “reporters & activists in white lab coats. . . ”
. . . U.S. officials reportedly have declined to give details on the fresh intelligence and analysis that led the Energy Department to change its position.
They added while the Energy Department and the FBI each say an unintended lab leak is most likely, they arrived at those conclusions for different reasons, the WSJ concludes.
...
Meanwhile, another Deep State stooge, Jake Sullivan, was talking out of both sides of his ass when asked about this:

“One of the things in that ‘Wall Street Journal’ report which I can’t confirm or deny, but I will say the reference to the Department of Energy, President Biden specifically requested that the National Labs, which are part of the Department of Energy, be brought into this assessment because he wants to put every tool at use to be able to figure out what happened here,” he responded. “And if we gain any further insight or information, we will share it with Congress and we will share it with the American people. But, right now, there is not a definitive answer that has emerged from the intelligence community on this question.”
Translation: "We're going to find the miscreant at the Department of Energy and arrange a dinner date with him/her and Jeffrey Epstein. On the menu will be fish wrapped in flak jacket a la Luca Brasi."
For those keeping score at home, Jake Sullivan was a prime conspirator in the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russia collusion hoax. In any case, you have to marvel on the one hand of the sheer deviousness and criminality of these people, yet at the same time, their absolute incompetence at the jobs they are given and sheer stupidity in keeping all their schemes in the air.

@DavidSacks
Why is this story so important? It shows:
1) unelected government officials have huge power to pursue dangerous agendas.
2) rather than holding them accountable, corporate media cover for them.
3) tech censorship ends up promoting rather than suppressing "disinformation."

This was always so obvious that professional idiot and longtime non-funny person Jon Stewart even grasped it: If there's a lab in Wuhan that specifically collects bat respiratory viruses and then mutates them so that they can infect humans, and then a bat respiratory virus which has mutated so that it can infect humans breaks out in Wuhan with the first cases being detected just two blocks from the lab which collects bat viruses which collects bat respiratory bat viruses and then mutates them so that they can infect humans, then it is obvious that this virus did not "evolve naturally," but was in fact created by the Wuhan lab which collects bat respiratory viruses and mutates them so that they can infect humans.

There's a principle in tort law where you don't have to prove negligence but can infer from circumstances -- res ipsa loquitor. "The thing speaks for itself."

What we're talking about here is a giant, obvious case of The Thing SCREAMING For Itself, with the media and the Technocratic Non-Elite attempting to deafen us all to the screams by screaming even louder.

Lot of screaming from the media this weekend:

21 That this came from DOE is still raising an eyebrow for me. This kind of thing is way, way outside the scope of the DOE. Yes, the DOE controls the national laboratories, but those labs are tangentially related to biological research. Those are primarily physics and energy labs. They do protein folding research and make a lot of medical isotopes and try to find new things that can work in medicine, but those are secondary functions.

Is this a case of the overlapping mandates and duplications that bureaucracies love so much showing their own downsides?

"They may have been factually correct, but they were wrong in terms of truth. They had hate in their hearts instead of goodness and love, so they must be punished for not following protocols that we now admit never worked, and those punishments must be meted out by those who lied about everything when they weren't just getting everything wrong.

Gain of function is already illegal in this country, and in many others. It isn't illegal in China and there are carve-outs for preferred players here and elsewhere. Pfizer can do it, for example, so long as they call it "directed evolution" instead.

59 Deliberate or not, the release of SARS-19-CoV was seen as a way to manipulate people into obeying mandates that were never in their best interests. A compliance test. Perhaps for a later time when compliance is required by the State.

It was also a huge money making opportunity.

There was never really any significant health threat but FedGov couldn't let a good crisis go to waste. So it forced weird and unnecessary mandates on people while behind the scenes the movers and shakers made millions. And almost none of them suffered any "coincidental adverse reactions" to the virus and/or the vaccinations they forced on everyone else.

71 Aetius Johnson with a key point. As I whined thru 2020, virus origin was an important thing but irrelevant to the vital thing, which was the response, which was scientifically baseless and which was imposing enormous immediate real costs.

And of course there was the instant ridicule and demonization of Trump for raising the possibility of man-made origin - and I believe all he was doing was repeating what sounds like a reasonable intel assessment at the time: they couldn't exclude the possibility.

And recall the Epoch Times video right at the start that (IIRC) ID'd some of the key circumstantial evidence right then. But such crazy marginal extremist sources, of course, had to be ignored, so the preposterous, unbelievably arrogant, incompetent public health authorities could play god with human society.

5. CONCLUSION: The mutated bat virus came from the wet market in Wuhan, which only happens to be a stone's throw from the Wuhan virology lab that manipulates bat viruses.

It's already banned. We absolutely do not do gain of function. Instead, we genetically modify organisms to make it more deadly to human beings and study the results so we can make remedies that may not actually work but our highly paid employees within the government will force you to take so we can rake in billions. How dare you call it gain of function.

That is essentially the findings of the MIT paper written by their data engineering undergrads. Yes, it was by undergrads and not published in a mainstream journal, but it *was* published under the aegis of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and that institute's faculty.

They found that the "crowd-sourced" amateur data science and visualization work being done in online groups was of high quality, technically correct, very fast and highly competitive with all results being analyzed and challenged in nearly real time, resulting in good work product - but was counter-narrative and therefore dangerous. The correct approach in the future, given the available of data management/visualization and statistical tools and the willingness of non-conformists to use them against the interests of public health authorities, was to stop publishing raw data. Only analyses should be published in the future.

The real story is how many different government agencies are purportedly looking into this question, the number of different conclusions being reached, some diametrically opposed to the lab leak theory, -AND- the fact that even when two agencies reach the same conclusion, they do so with different rationales.

What's the point of listening to or believing any of these conclusions?

123 people I knew back in Feb 2020 who were in healthcare kept telling me it was engineered. that was out there among a "certain set" even then. I thought they were being hysterical, I had no idea what was coming.

but the knowledge was out there and helped get a LOT of docs on board with insane mitigation "strategies."

anyway I was still skeptical until things panned out that the bug didn't spread... out of doors very well. that's what we call a tell.

it was absolutely lab created. it spread nicely in closed interior spaces - especially nice chilly ones - and not so great in, ya know, NATURE.

also they never found a zoonotic link

the one that goes around now is the mutant baby of the released virus(es) we dealt with in 2020 and 2021. I don't think they're still doing new releases anymore. hopefully.

Beg to differ. If the virus really was zoonotic in origin, and spread from the Wuhan wet market, the worldwide panic could be explained by an excess of caution, plus institutional incompetence, and a real fear of another 1918-style Flu.

Knowing that the virus was created in the Wuhan lab, and that people like Fauci and Gates were parties to it, and that the motive was to make certain parties insanely wealthy and to impose Fascism on the people, but mostly to impose Fascism, then the response cannot be blamed on incompetence, or an excess of caution, but but entirely on malice.

Every news service is covering the story, not just WSJ?

the best scientific studies that I have seen on where the virus came from was from evolutionary biologists who by looking at the virus' mRNA (genetic material) traced it back to the wet markets in Wuhan. The "it came from a lab in China" meme has been a right wing talking point for years!

this story is crap. Yhis is swiftboats for truth, HRC's emails, Al Gore's "Invented the internet," and so on. I wouldn't be surprised that to find the Republican disinformation hit team Creative Response Concepts behind it.

Our days may be numbered, but so are China's. They did not get value for money out of Biden. They own Biden, but they don't own the entire government. I thought they did, but too little of the Biden China policy makes any sense if they do. It's chaotic, but on net it's worse for China now than it was under Trump. We're decoupling from China, as are many other countries. China is retrenching.

China also has its own goals (well, Xi's goals) that have nothing to do with us. He's much more a Maoist than a Dengist and is playing different games domestically. I agree that they didn't make a mistake, but they *did* make a choice and that choice will have far-reaching consequences, especially in the context of their various other choices over the past five years.

220 The Chinese "peace plan" is a nothingburger. If trends to date don't change, the Ukraine fighting will end when Russia decides to declare victory, which means when it will deem the original goals of the operation fulfilled (the consistent formula/public position used by Moscow for some time). This will entail some gymnastics worthy of Ludmila Porishkova, given that the key goal was always Mission Impossible, and the goals tossed in as seasoning ("de-nazification") were impractical and mostly red meat for a certain demo. But they'll find a way to do it, and that will be that.

And of course the Ukes will have to go along, if only passively. Which may be a problem. So a Syria/Galilee variant is possible (long-term stalemate with shelling of other side ongoing).

229 Here's a question: How many hospitals in the US had PCR tests specific for SARS-2 back in Oct-Dec 2019?

Given the answer to that, how many cases of COVID-19 were diagnosed as influenza or other respiratory illness (parainfluenza, common cold, RSV, etc.)?

There have been many anecdotal accounts of unusual, or prolonged upper respiratory tract infections, including my wife and I who traveled to Cleveland in Nov '19 and spent two nights at the Air[port Sheraton, got sick within a week of that trip and were sick for just over a month.

In that timeframe, nobody was storming the hospitals asking for a COVID test. Three months later was a different story.

China has been considering giving Russia the type of support that the United States has been giving Ukraine. Therefore China is now evil, as evil as Russia, and the Regime will give us all the information we need to be convinced that China is evil.

257 My theory has always been that some poor, underpaid janitor / lab assistant took infected lab animals that were supposed to be disposed of to the wet market, and the disease spread from there.

Why did he do it? He thought the animals were safe and uninfected, and he needed some more money than his normal pay. Then the lab animal(s) infected both the humans at the market, and the animals. Maybe the disease passing into a different animal made it more transmissible to humans?

I am just glad this was not the final highly lethal form of the disease that the Chinese Bio-Weapons Researchers were seeking.

There are a lot of Chinese students where I work. Maybe somebody went home for the Thanksgiving break and brought more back than just his luggage . . .?

It was an odd flu for me. No throat or pharynx irritation; it began in a sinus on the right side of my face and progressed into my nose. The Urgent Care people diagnosed bacterial sinusitis, and I improved quickly on antibiotics; but I still wonder.

I am guessing that some of them just do so because "the bad people" say otherwise, so they don't want to be associated with "nazi white supremacist racist bigot homophobes who kill trannies and want to strip away all rights from women." They cling to what they are increasingly sure is false, because to reject it aligns them with The Bad People.

Others, I think found the government control, free money, and sense of special identity with masks etc exhilarating, its how they always wanted things to be, and it made them feel special and superior to go along with THE SCIENCE (again, as opposed to those knuckle dragging sister-bothering neanderthals on the right)

Yes, the DOE controls the national laboratories, but those labs are tangentially related to biological research. Those are primarily physics and energy labs. They do protein folding research and make a lot of medical isotopes and try to find new things that can work in medicine, but those are secondary functions.

I still think that the Wuhan Flu release was intentional, but not directed at the US or the rest of the world, at least at first. Remember, the Hong Kong protests were getting serious about that time, spreading to other cities, and there was a lot of speculation that the ChiCom junta was in real trouble.

I think they did the release in order to justify locking down the cities without causing the rest of the world to hit them with sanctions (economically, they're a lot weaker than people think). Releasing it in Wuhan rather than directly in HK was the ChiComs being clever about deniability. Of course, they lost control of it and infected the rest of the world.

Oops. So solly, our bad.

That's why their initial public statements and actions were so chaotic and contradictory. They didn't have a ready-made narrative to rely on, so within about 3 months time they tried to blame the Wuhan Flu on Australia, the US and Italy at different times. Probably more countries that I can't remember now.

When the commie cocksuckers in the US started using it as a weapon against Trump, the ChiComs just went along. An unexpected benefit.

Trump was caught in the grips of The Plandemic just as much as the plebes were, even more so because he was the prime target of The Plandemic.

This reminds me of the services that edit movies to take out the profanity, sex, and violence for Christians. Except Christians don't insist the original be changed to match a moral code, just the stuff we personally consume.

I personally don't care for that kind of thing, partly because sometimes those parts are critical to the story (hopefully often) and partly because those aren't the only bad parts.

Answer turned out to be "pelican" -- kind of like "the tree" is the mascot of the Standard Cardinal.

[I'd heard that when the politically-correct university changed their name from the Indians to Cardinal in 19 , a vote was taken among the students for a new name and they overwhelming selected Robber Barons. Can you imagine the "S" on the football helmet changed to a dollar sign?]

They lifted a whole story arc from Kirk and grafted it to Picard.

Crusher cut off all contact with the entire crew twenty years prior. Then she calls Picard for help. Riker mentions Picard had a fling with Beverly that went sour. They board Beverly's disabled starship and Picard comments the music playing is music he selected for her. And then we are shown the person they have been hiding for the entire show that Beverly was protecting. He is her son, and he is not Wesley as in he has testosterone and is willing to put a phaser to Will Riker's head.

We are not prepared for a pandemic. Trump has rolled back progress President Obama and I made to strengthen global health security. We need leadership that builds public trust, focuses on real threats, and mobilizes the world to stop outbreaks before they reach our shores.

Please.

At first they tried mightily to deny the Chinese Lab story.

But now, to save their own necks, they’re HAPPILY pushing it. Why?

A: Because it was A JOINT CHINESE COMMUNIST/AMERICAN DEEP STATE- OPERATION, BUILT IN CHAPEL HILL, GALVESTON AND WUHAN LABS, MEANT TO TAKE OUT THE MUTUAL ENEMY, DONALD TRUMP.

This is a modern Smallpox Blankets Deliberate Infection-Op, brought to you by the Chinese-American UNI-GOVERNMENT.

And you are the Indian.

452 Man-made origin for the virus has been proved beyond debate for more than a year, along with big early clues. The main issues:

- Patented Moderna sequences were used in engineering it. This is a slam dunk: the people that found this have put out step-by-step instructions on how to repro proving this using public genetic databases. Literally anyone here can do this.

- The virus and it's presumed source and method of manufacture match exactly EcoHealth's rejected DARPA grant AND tweets they made about it during development

- There is NO believable natural strain origin for this. RATG13 was quietly uploaded in Dec 2019, well after the start of the pandemic. You have to be fucking retarded to believe that EcoHealth's people discovered it years prior and then just happened to upload it right then.

The only question remaining is whether the release was intentional or not.

457 Ace, the WSJ buried the lede. The real story is not that a single gov't agency admitted this possibility. The real story is how many different government agencies are purportedly looking into this question, the number of different conclusions being reached, some diametrically opposed to the lab leak theory, -AND- the fact that even when two agencies reach the same conclusion, they do so with different rationales.

What's the point of listening to or believing any of these conclusions?
Posted by: Muldoon at February 27, 2023 12:36 PM (ykeLU)

The agencies are each living their truth. Based on science. Listening to their experts. Informed by their race consciousness. Inspired by the struggle. And paid by the Chinese.

I don't see how this could be on purpose. Say what you will about the ChiComs, they are careful planners. If it was on purpose, why would the first cases be so easily traced to the Wuhan lab? Why would the first cases be in China?

They have active agents all over the world. It would be easy as hell to intentionally infect some public transit locations in Paris, Rome, London, DC, NYC, etc.

Hell, they could intentionally infect some locations outside CDC or some US labs that are studying infectious diseases. Then it would look like we created it and any accusations to the contrary would seem like a coverup.

Most of the interesting writing is being done in video games.

We all know a cat would turn the underground society into his personal fiefdom where the robots serve food whenever he wants it, the puzzles are just there for his entertainment, and there are warm places to sleep all over the empire (with robot arms providing belly scritches).

He was a white guy who had slight success as a rapper and then disappeared for a few years. The FNM claimed he made enough money selling anti-Semitic/anti-black merch to pay for his trips around the country and...his nice house in the 'burbs. Sure...

I hate to bust your bubble, sparky, but the US DID develop this virus. Ralph Baric was working on this over ten years ago. In 2015, when people in this field of research US started to feel that this type of work was dangerous, Baric and Fauci had it moved to Wuhan, where Peter Daszak and the Environmental Health Alliance (which is a front organization for the CIA) worked and financed it. So Fauci sent money from his bureau, the CIA was sending money there, and the Chinese were working on it alongside Daszak and Baric.
This is your government at war against you.
Various strains were released in different parts of the world. The strain released in Northern Italy (in 2020) was more virulent than the strain released in Seattle in late 2019.
Hillary Clinton was supposed to be "president" when this came out, and she was going to lock this country down tighter than a nun's cunt on Sunday.
