THE MORNING RANT: As Bombshell Fauci Docs Drop, Faux-Conservative Media Indignantly Covers Story It Suppressed in 2020

The best time to be skeptical of an “expert” stating there’s an emergency requiring the suspension of your freedom is the moment he states his intent to deny you liberty.

The type of conservatives who read this blog were highly skeptical of Anthony Fauci from day one, as was much of the new conservative media. However, the legacy (formerly?) conservative media could not lick Anthony Fauci’s boots hard enough in Spring of 2020.

Over this past weekend, major news broke, with many of Anthony Fauci’s personal notes from early 2020 being released. They revealed that before the March 2020 lockdowns, Fauci had already acknowledged that the wet markets were not the source of the Covid virus. The release also reveals extensive collaboration between Fauci and media personalities on how to shape the message and counter critics. There will be extensive coverage here and elsewhere of these bombshell revelations from better investigative writers than me, so sit tight.

In this quick post, I just want to point out that the same faux-conservative media that cooed over Anthony Fauci - and criticized you and me for doubting him - are now doing very serious journalism about these important stories they tried to suppress six years ago.

Here is a 2020 National Review piece from Andrew McCarthy published about six weeks into the two-week lockdown, in which he condemns some House Republicans for daring to criticize McCarthy’s lord and savior, Anthony Fauci.

“House Conservatives Who Attacked Dr. Fauci Should Know Better” [National Review – 4/15/2020]

As we’ve all heard over the past month, Dr. Fauci has worked long hours through seven-day weeks trying to save American lives. He also has made countless statements in scores of interviews and White House Task Force press conferences. Consistently, he has been a model of empathy. Again and again, he has agonized over the excruciating choice that government officials have no choice but to make: The choice between the well-being of (a) those sick from, dying of, and vulnerable to a potentially lethal infectious disease, and (b) those whose financial, emotional, and physical well-being are being shattered by the shutdown. It has worn on him, like it would wear on any of us.

As Fauci’s web of lies became ever more tangled, it became harder for Fauci’s “conservative” fanboys to justify their worshipful swooning. But Fauci was working to take out President Trump, so the NeverTrump media remained loyal to him, working to keep him propped up until Trump was gone.

By late July 2020, over four months into the two-week lockdown, Fauci’s popularity was eroding. He was seen in public violating his own lockdown protocols, while also posing in glamour shots for celebrity magazines. Jim Geraghty rushed to protect Fauci in a piece that gently chided Fauci’s PR mistakes (“unforced errors” while also slobbering all over Fauci.

Before we go any further, let me begin by saying I believe Dr. Anthony Fauci is an exceptional doctor and public-health expert who is doing the best he can in extremely challenging circumstances. I think most of his judgments during this pandemic have been either correct or a reasonable assessment based upon what was known at the time.

In a tweet yesterday, this same Jim Geraghty is now snarking at Fauci:

“Dr. Anthony Fauci, in his private notes, January 2020: ‘Now we know the Market Was Not the Source, It Was the Amplifier.’
Funny, I don’t remember him emphasizing or even mentioning that point throughout the entire pandemic and aftermath…”

It does not matter that National Review’s coverage of Covid and Fauci became more critical by 2021 (once Trump was successfully dispatched in the 2020 election.) National Review was as reverent about Fauci in early 2020 as any legacy left-wing media source.

Regarding the latest Fauci revelations, National Review and its writers ought to simply abstain from discussing or covering the story altogether, unless it’s an apology for their lack of critical coverage when it could have made a difference in 2020. They also deserve mockery for any efforts to now critically cover the events of 2020.

Fauci was always the villain. It's regrettable that you and @NRO spent so much time defending him and condemning Fauci's right-wing critics. pic.twitter.com/8DK1ty7t8L

No explanation. No apology. Just pretend every day is a fresh slate.

33 It's not 'just' the media that participated in the operation to subjugate the public with covid bullshit. The judiciary was more than happy to enforce Fauci's mandates when it suited them too.

It was always about forced compliance with unpopular mandates. And the judiciary was, and is, squarely on the left's side.

Fauci needs to be burned alive, but there's a slew of judges than need to join him. And quite a few politicians as well.

Again, a pardon on past deeds does not cover the future. And he can't plead the 5th either.

He might not show but all he will do is increase the focus on his past actions and he can always be subpoenaed to appear. And if he blows that off he can be arrested.

The reason Paul released this stuff on X is because the media, who is as culpable as him, would have just buried it. Too late for that now. It's all over social media.

This was the day in which Trump realized that the presidency had been completely stolen from him:

“After the presser (about 1 hour) Deb Birx texted and then called me saying it was good that I was not there since after the presser, the POTUS called her into the Oval and started yelling at her saying 'You and Fauci have destroyed the country and the economy. I should never have listened to you. You have completely destroyed us.' He kept saying this over and over again and was yelling at her. I encouraged her that we are OK and at the end of the day she and I will be loved by the people we care about. She was relieved and after wrote me a text sincerely thanking me.”

I think our natsec view after WWII is that information (and people) needed to be controlled. CIA peeps like William Colby bragged about it in their CIA approved memoirs--Colby was involved in the 50's with keeping Italy from Communism so he discusses in various ways how the CIA did that there which is a blueprint for how they did it here.

Brits had this mindset even longer and were quite skilled in black and white propaganda and cultivated close ties with promising leaders in various fields.

Project Mockingbird files plus the files in the JFK assassination show that the natsec establishment has a bunch of paid influencers as assets (not formal agents) but paid in one way or another by career advancement, direct or indirect subsidy, or even political careers.

Or the infamous anti-Trump NR issue from Jan 2016 when most of the conservative "thought leader" cabal eagerly signed off in the rag to shit all over anyone who supported Trump. Only to turn moderately pro-Trump when he was a winner. And to cycle back and forth from opposition to support as his star would rise and fall.

Jurisdiction happens where the offence happened, not necessarily DC as we see in the Mar a Lago investigation. And it can be massaged quite a bit.

Plus the fun fact that due to his pardon, he cannot refuse to testify before Congress. The charming thing is due to Palko v. CT, parallel charges in any state affected by his decisions can occur in state courts. Presidential pardons do not cover those.

Bad things can happen to Fraudulent Fauci, it is just that so far, we have not chosen to do so primarily, I think, due to his knowledge of how the intel community spent the last 30 plus years financing all sorts of ghastly experiments in foreign and domestic labs, in contravention of the Chemical and Biological Warfare treaty, for supposedly 'defensive' purposes.

But then a few years later the government claimed the right to execute lock downs and considered concentration camps for anyone refusing the clot shot which goes way beyond any notion of quarantine

I think Tony enjoyed that beagles were tortured and that comes clear in this diary where he enjoyed lying and getting away with it.

Now think of how much his psychopathy has affected ALL National Institute of Health spending since the 80's when he was in charge. How many more lies, how many more deaths, how much more torturous 'experiments' on the level of Dr. Mengele.

Yep.

There are two potential outcomes both good.

1) The courts dismiss the idea of "whatever he actually did pardons" and Fauci goes to jail

2) The courts hold up Fauci's "whatever he actually did pardons" and we get to point out the only reason Fauci isn't in jail for COVID is because Biden pardoned him AND Trump gets to issue his own "whatever he actually did pardons" at the end of his term

Overall it was the general policies of shut downs, and denial of "alternative effective meds" (to deadly ventilators or Remdesivir) , and denial of "informed consent" that made Fauci so evil.

I'm not clear what policy changes would have made a difference for those like Oregon Muse, and I don't know his details. The fake vax itself was often deadly in many ways, including the "side effect" of giving people Covid.

I'm still thinking Fauci is subject to state prosecutions, and/or civil liabilities.

193 It just hit me this morning: I'm probably rather late to this observation, but next time somebody says that "roads are socialism" tell them that they are creating a false dichotomy out of "socialism".

Providing roads to everyone has nothing to do with the ownership of all means of production OR Owen's idea of fixing all of society all at once. (Owen is the original source of the term "socialism")

It is not the case that a society either is intent on fixing society first as a means of fixing all social problems (which Owen "resolved" by creating communes for normies to live off his wealth in the 1820s) or that the government owns the "means of production" OR we don't have government services.

And a core thing in this. When the clot shot came out the claim was it would stop the spread of COVID. Get the two shots and you can never get COVID right?

This was the grounds for the clot shot mandate.

But fairly quickly it came out moderna/pfizer had faked their data and the clot shot did not stop you from getting COVID. The narrative changed to "it will stop you from getting AS sick" but the mandates stayed. Still based on the idea that it stopped the spread of COVID.

And even once they were claiming it was a conspiracy theory that anyone ever claimed the clot shot stopped the spread of COVID they kept the mandates based on the notion the clot shot stopped the spread of COVID

But funding the development of the virus, releasing it purposely (IMO), shutting down pretty much the entire world, countless deaths from the virus and as well as undiagnosed medical issues, an inoculation that was worse than the virus impacting the health of millions, family separations, lack of visitation or funeral arrangements, lockdowns, facemasks, lack of schooling, on and on.

The answer is we don't know and the scientists themselves cannot be entrusted to tell the truth either, Fauci is a perfect example of that mindset.

And corporations inevitably take over the regulatory establishment in order to keep the profits flowing and the lawsuits at bay.

EVERYTHING has cost benefit analysis and one of the buggers in that is estimating future costs from whatever 'new' technology exists--for example, will the genetic modification actually cause future deaths while perhaps 'saving' those today. We ignore the future (look at our federal debt) and weight the present far too much.

There is a reason that medical trials of new drugs are expensive and run for years. It is to try to find out the known unknowns. The truth is we as humans are not that smart with our tools as we think. It is not to dismiss GMO totally but a really hard look at the benefits versus the risk.

the DNC put up its own DC headquarters as collateral for a $15 million line of credit last year. That was bad news on its own. But it's gotten worse. Party leaders have now asked vendors to hold off sending invoices until after the midterms, according to three people briefed on the discussions.

Ouch.

And then there’s the issues with Chairman Martin. According to the report, he has become isolated, anxious about his job security, and dependent on a shrinking circle of trusted aides.

240 But fairly quickly it came out moderna/pfizer had faked their data and the clot shot did not stop you from getting COVID. The narrative changed to "it will stop you from getting AS sick" but the mandates stayed. Still based on the idea that it stopped the spread of COVID.

Posted by: 18-1

I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't the issue that neither company even tested the shots' ability to stop the spread of the virus before emergency approval. They admitted it in congressional questioning.

So yes, it was a total fabrication that resulted in the forced shots, but it still isn't clear where the lie originated. A safe bet would be Fauci or Biden's minions.

Blood cancer folks talk all the time about having two options - living life or avoiding death. Living life probably brings about death sooner, but it's the way more desirable and joy-causing way to go, for a disease that's gonna kill you either way.

So what is the effect on a tomato that has a gene inserted by CRISPR to allow certain chemicals to be used around it like Roundup. Answer, we might know in 20-50 years, maybe not then.

Look up ultra vires doctrine that removes such protections. If a person uses a government office to commit criminal actions knowingly, that person can and often is held guilty and the shield of sovereign immunity does not cover criminal nor civil liability.

On a case by case basis, GMO foods are often superior to heritage foods, if not by one metric alone:

Some nutrition is better than no nutrition. And you get no nutrition when you don't have enough produce to meet demand.

People whine about GMO not being as nutritious as their grand parents food. But their food depleted soils, used too much water, was prone to drought, floods, insects, hail storms and weeds.

Golden Rice is a superior to heritage in that not only does it maintain the same nutrient level as heritage, but also is modified to produce beta-carotene which the body converts into Vitamin A which some "at risk" populations are naturally deficient in.

298 GMO's can be fine, depending on what they're doing.

The fact that they've attempted to modify foods, bugs, cows, etc. to FORCE things upon the public in the name of vaccines or other diseases means I don't f*cking trust them ONE BIT anymore and no longer want them f*cking with my food for any reason whatsoever.

301 You keep saying 'might' . In the mean time free GMO food is being rejected in countries with a starving population because of the might propaganda.
Posted by: polynikes
------
And yours is similar propaganda using rhetoric of something you do not personally know--the answer is that countries are sovereign and they get to choose what their people do. And if they choose not to allow GMO food, then it is on that country's government, not me.

Claiming cheap virtue for whatever position you take is a debater's trick to distract emotionally and not a serious argument.

Your premise that 100k will die without GMO is a) not supported by your argument which is probably derived from 'authority', and b) we never know the counter argument from your moral imperative rhetoric. Could it affect local food supply and result in actually less food for people, could it result in other negatives, etc.

"Feeding Africa" for example by Live AID back in the day actually killed a lot more Africans because it cemented a demented Ethiopian dictator Mengistu in power and destroyed local farmers. When Bono and his celebrity ilk went away, they left a mess that got worse than better.

So many wonderful hours are ahead for her.

Thank you so much!

She really is taking to it and the discipline required to prepare herself and her mount for the activity, as well as performing the necessary tasks afterward.

Of the two gKids, she is the one who most enjoys the outdoors. I love her attitude in that regard.

307 The wet market was not an "amplifier" either. It was simply the community the virus was released into. Any community would have done as well where there was any interaction between people.

311 Somewhere in SoCal, I think Orange county, a skate park was closed but kids went anyway. So the state/county filled up the park with sand, making it unusable. Then the kids showed up with dirt bikes and used it as a dirt bike track.

That was one of the best fuck you instances.

And since when did churches - clergy - answer to civil authorities. Isn't it their duty to serve their flock? How is God going to look upon them denying Sunday worship?

For us Catholics -- how is God going to look upon priests who denied the Holy Eucharist to people?

328 My question is, why reveal this now?

Why not wait until Fauci has a chance to perjure himself again and then reveal that you already know all of his secrets?

Why let him know what he should not try to lie about?

Sure, this makes for some headlines, but it severely undermines getting a chance to indict Fauci for lying when not protected by the Auto-Pen Amnesty.

330 I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Fauci was the villain when I found out he was also the guy who decided AIDS was something any of us could get and therefore we shouldn't bother all those homosexual men and intravenous drug addicts with anything directed at them. Because I knew that was wrong in the 80s. (I had an inkling he was the villain before that, but that was when I KNEW.)

331 National Review ceased being a conservative media organ as far back as 2014-2015. Donald Trump running for the GOP nomination in 2016 pushed them over the edge and got them to fully reveal themselves as nothing more than shills for the Republican Party donor class and Chamber of Commerce. They are a damn disgrace!
