A Chinese vice minister of State Security defected to the United States in February to give information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which changed the Biden Administration’s viewpoint on the origins of the pandemic.

Dong Jingwei has been working with the Defense Intelligence Agency for a few months. He allegedly flew to the United States to visit his daughter at a university in California. He “hid in plain sight” for about two weeks before disappearing into DIA custody, according to Red State.

Dong allegedly has detailed information about China’s special weapons systems, the Chinese military’s operation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the origins of COVID-19 and the Chinese government’s assets and sources within the U.S.

Dong provided the DIA with the following information:

Early pathogenic studies of the virus we now know as SARS-CoV-2
Models of predicted COVID-19 spread and damage to the U.S. and the world
Financial records detailing which organizations and governments funded the research on SARS-CoV-2 and other biological warfare research
Names of U.S. citizens who provide intel to China
Names of Chinese spies working in the U.S. or attending U.S. universities
Financial records showing U.S. businessmen and public officials who’ve received money from the Chinese government
Details of meetings between U.S. government officials and Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR
How the Chinese government gained access to a CIA communications system, leading to the death of dozens of Chinese people who were working with the CIA

This is probable reason White House switched stance on lab leak theory.

Germ warfare? Guess that ain't new. Most folks with common sense already KNEW that this virus did not come from some meat market. Now, on to the motive. How many vote for: Chinese gov wishing to cripple world economy?

Nah I think it's because George Soros was mad that his shrimp with lobster sauce had too much egg in it that week.

(because why not start a new pointless conspiracy theory designed to divide and cause people to argue with each other?)

Wuhan lab leak might be a lot more than a conspiracy theory, but I guess your in the group that makes determinations without the true facts and evidence .

Pointless conspiracy theory? So the President is guilty of this?

Direct quote: Nevertheless, shortly after I became President, in March, I had my National Security Advisor task the Intelligence Community to prepare a report on their most up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident. I received that report earlier this month, and asked for additional follow-up. As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has “coalesced around two likely scenarios” but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question. Here is their current position: “while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter – each with low or moderate confidence – the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.”

There are 3 basic scenarios:

1: Virus evolved naturally, went from bats to intermediate animal to humans (zoonotic)

2. Virus was manipulated to infect humans in gain of function experiments at Wuhan lab, leaked or released by infected lab workers into general population of Wuhan

3. Virus was manipulated to infect humans and released on purpose as bioweapon

1. So far, after over a year of trapping 1000s of animals that could be intermediate hosts has come up with bubkis, not a single spec of scientific proof of zoonotic origin. Also, the bats that carry coronaviruses live about 800 miles from Wuhan, if zooonotic origin why were zero cases found in humans in that area before it hit Wuhan?

2. Occams razor, virus attack started in Wuhan, the exact same place where a Level 4 Lab was studying coronavirus found in bats. Lab had documented safety issues. 3 workers at the lab were hospitalized with mysterious lung infections in November 2019. Chinese Government has never allowed a single western scientist to inspect the Wuhan lab records, most likely they have been destroyed. Several Chinese Drs and scientists were silenced after speaking out early in the outbreak. Several prominent scientists have declared that the virus has characteristics of being engineered.

3. I don't believe this one, it would be crazy to do this, but you never know.

It just seems like sloppy maintenance to me that was then covered up. And this would be very hard for say the Chinese intelligence agency to keep a lid on especially after the Corona Virus got out of China. I do not think that if they had a weapon like this they ever would have deliberately let it out as they would not longer be able to use it against their enemies.

You do know they didn’t allowing any outside investigation until year and half after right? Not that hard in china to keep lid on anything.

I read the Qanon posts on various sites only to keep abreast, rarely do I buy in. I oftentimes laugh out loud at the theories. That said, that doesn't mean that that all differing opinions are wo merit. I try to keep an open mind and consider the possibilities. Sometimes my opinion is changed by the differing opinion.

It troubles me that the USA was at least in part funding the Wuhan bioweapons lab. Why?

The CCP locked Wuhan, a city of many millions, down hard early on and concealed what had really happened. The head of WHO is their boy so WHO pumped out disinformation, the wet market and so on. However the timing of the release of the Wuhan virus could not have been more propitious for the CCP's multifaceted aspirations.

A Wuhan research scientist, Dr. Li-Meng Yan, issued an early warning. I do not know what happened to her.

A Chinese vice minister of State Security defected to the United States in February to give information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which changed the Biden Administration’s viewpoint on the origins of the pandemic.

Dong Jingwei has been working with the Defense Intelligence Agency for a few months. He allegedly flew to the United States to visit his daughter at a university in California. He “hid in plain sight” for about two weeks before disappearing into DIA custody, according to Red State.

Dong allegedly has detailed information about China’s special weapons systems, the Chinese military’s operation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the origins of COVID-19 and the Chinese government’s assets and sources within the U.S.

Dong provided the DIA with the following information:

Early pathogenic studies of the virus we now know as SARS-CoV-2
Models of predicted COVID-19 spread and damage to the U.S. and the world
Financial records detailing which organizations and governments funded the research on SARS-CoV-2 and other biological warfare research
Names of U.S. citizens who provide intel to China
Names of Chinese spies working in the U.S. or attending U.S. universities
Financial records showing U.S. businessmen and public officials who’ve received money from the Chinese government
Details of meetings between U.S. government officials and Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR
How the Chinese government gained access to a CIA communications system, leading to the death of dozens of Chinese people who were working with the CIA

Germ warfare? Guess that ain't new. Most folks with common sense already KNEW that this virus did not come from some meat market. Now, on to the motive. How many vote for: Chinese gov wishing to cripple world economy?

I believe the CCP deliberately released this virus because of the impact President Trump inflicted on them. President Trump was impacting their economy and causing high unemployment rates and loss of billions of dollars in revenue because he imposed tariffs and penalties as well as making China to "Pay Up". Once the President closed down travel from China, China started to come in to the USA through Canada and Europe which infected the world.

This is my opinion and not a conspiracy theory.

You can go ahead and wait for the president's report. You're ignorant if you think you can trust it and you're ignorant if you think it's going to be accurate. One of the most controversial issues that we face and you think they're going to be open and honest to the public about results?

There was only one way for the Dems to win the last election; to take out our former president and wipe out the economy. Only with those two factors the Democrats even have a chance to win that election.

What do you think happened and why? Wake up!

A Chinese vice minister of State Security defected to the United States in February to give information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which changed the Biden Administration’s viewpoint on the origins of the pandemic.

Dong Jingwei has been working with the Defense Intelligence Agency for a few months. He allegedly flew to the United States to visit his daughter at a university in California. He “hid in plain sight” for about two weeks before disappearing into DIA custody, according to Red State.

Dong allegedly has detailed information about China’s special weapons systems, the Chinese military’s operation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the origins of COVID-19 and the Chinese government’s assets and sources within the U.S.

Dong provided the DIA with the following information:

Early pathogenic studies of the virus we now know as SARS-CoV-2
Models of predicted COVID-19 spread and damage to the U.S. and the world
Financial records detailing which organizations and governments funded the research on SARS-CoV-2 and other biological warfare research
Names of U.S. citizens who provide intel to China
Names of Chinese spies working in the U.S. or attending U.S. universities
Financial records showing U.S. businessmen and public officials who’ve received money from the Chinese government
Details of meetings between U.S. government officials and Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR
How the Chinese government gained access to a CIA communications system, leading to the death of dozens of Chinese people who were working with the CIA

Don't want to get philosophical, but when I post, I try to address the subject and the truth. I have no desire for "likes" or anyone's approval. In the last few years, that is impossible.

Qanon has basically became the impetus behind a lot, not all, of the conspiracy theories....going back as far as 2016, and has a growing influence on all of the right. Now we have avowed members of congress who attest to all they say.

As a PS, when posting a link, I try very hard to double check their reports so everything is accurate, and that "used to be" the norm on this forum

Is Jon Stuart a member of Qanon? Jon Stewart On Vaccine Science And The Wuhan Lab Theory - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSfejgwbDQ8)


Have you ever considered using critical reasoning and keeping an open mind rather than parroting everything you hear from the government, big tech or big media? Any independent minded person who does their own due diligence will come to an inescapable conclusion.

WE WERE LIED TO!

Consider these two facts. In a country roughly the size of the US, the virus breaks out in a city containing China's only Bio level 4 lab.
Only one lab in China can safely handle the new coronavirus | Live Science (https://www.livescience.com/china-lab-meets-biosafety-levels-new-coronavirus.html)

Despite previous denials the lab performed gain of function experiments on ... you guessed it Covid viruses from bats.
WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Footage proves bats were kept in Wuhan lab | Sky News Australia (https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6258639874001)
Evidence mounts Wuhan lab studied live bats despite denials (https://news.yahoo.com/evidence-mounts-wuhan-lab-studied-193700731.html)

A member of the World Health Organisation team investigating the origin of the pandemic in Wuhan, zoologist Peter Daszak said it was a conspiracy to suggest bats were held at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

After a year of censorship and political interference, the damn is bursting as virtually every scientists is now admitting that the the lab leak is now credible and many have concluded that it was highly probable.

Also consider that the only direct investigation conducted by the WHO was a sham.

These things are proven facts:

Fauci is a proponent of gain of function virus research

Fauci's NIH gave several million dollars in grants to Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance, and Peter Daszak is also a known proponent of gain of function research.

Daszak gave $600,000 of Fauci's funds to the Wuhan lab to study coronaviruses.

Not proven but looking more and more likely:

Wuhan lab conducted gain of function research on coronavirus, made it infectious to humans, and virus leaked into general population via exposed lab workers.

Does this mean Fauci wanted to start a global pandemic? Nope. But it's not a good look if the Wuhan lab he helped finance turns out to have unleashed an engineered virus upon the world.

I don't think you understand how Operation warp speed worked. Here's a clue, it wasn't called Operation warp money. The government did offer vaccine R&D funding, which some smaller companies like Moderna accepted. In return, the government would get a little better price if and when vaccine was approved. Pfizer, who have more money than God, did not take the funding since they have tremendous amounts of capital, and wanted to protect their profits if their vaccine worked. I guess that makes them guilty of "predatory capitalism"

The reason Operation warp speed worked so well is because the government cleared all the bureaucratic hurdles that caused previous vaccine development to take 10 years. The government also incentivized vaccine developers by committing to billions of dollars of orders for any vaccine approved. More "predatory capitalism" or something.

Yes, after he found out that Fauci had reinstated the funding (after Obama's ban)...

Look, I was no fan of Obama, but he did get some things right, and this is one of them...

See 3rd P of your second article: "During the three-year ban on funding projects – known as “gain of function” research – the Department of Health and Human Services developed a framework on how such research may be conducted to protect the public. The research criteria were drafted during the Obama administration, but weren’t released until the end of 2017. 2017 is when Fauci quietly released the funds.

Agree about Fauci even though I've never liked him. I think he does, however, need to answer to why US $'s were given to China researchers.

Not sure I agree with your statement that our scientists are ethical. Most, probably but there are too many fueled by greed.

Personally, I don't waste my time spinning my brain for things like that, which are unresolvable. How many brain cells do I REALLY want to devote to questions like, "is there a God"?

So I guess your saying, if the leftest media don't report on this situation it's not true! :confused:
Short Note: The leftest media are always behind the time and will apologize next month on page 28. :ho:

It would be NICE to know if CV started in a lab or was a crossover from bats to humans. But, the chances of prying the TRUTH from China are slim. And it is NOT very important to the average citizen in ANY part of the world. Do the people coming in over the Southern Border care about the CV origins.......doubtful? Personally, I don't waste my time spinning my brain for things like that, which are unresolvable. How many brain cells do I REALLY want to devote to questions like, "is there a God"? I might need to study the Wuhan controversy, if I was a top-level CIA or other spy manager, but I am NOT. So, to me, it matters NAUGHT!

I agree. The chances of actual facts about this being made public are very slim. The US has a long-standing biological warfare program itself, which was supposed to be disbanded ages ago.

If China released the virus on purpose, that could be an international crime against humanity and should be investigated. But, that seems very unlikely, since releasing a biological warfare agent in your own country is not very smart.

Pointless conspiracy theory? So the President is guilty of this?

Direct quote: Nevertheless, shortly after I became President, in March, I had my National Security Advisor task the Intelligence Community to prepare a report on their most up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident. I received that report earlier this month, and asked for additional follow-up. As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has “coalesced around two likely scenarios” but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question. Here is their current position: “while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter – each with low or moderate confidence – the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.”

There are 3 basic scenarios:

1: Virus evolved naturally, went from bats to intermediate animal to humans (zoonotic)

2. Virus was manipulated to infect humans in gain of function experiments at Wuhan lab, leaked or released by infected lab workers into general population of Wuhan

3. Virus was manipulated to infect humans and released on purpose as bioweapon

1. So far, after over a year of trapping 1000s of animals that could be intermediate hosts has come up with bubkis, not a single spec of scientific proof of zoonotic origin. Also, the bats that carry coronaviruses live about 800 miles from Wuhan, if zooonotic origin why were zero cases found in humans in that area before it hit Wuhan?

2. Occams razor, virus attack started in Wuhan, the exact same place where a Level 4 Lab was studying coronavirus found in bats. Lab had documented safety issues. 3 workers at the lab were hospitalized with mysterious lung infections in November 2019. Chinese Government has never allowed a single western scientist to inspect the Wuhan lab records, most likely they have been destroyed. Several Chinese Drs and scientists were silenced after speaking out early in the outbreak. Several prominent scientists have declared that the virus has characteristics of being engineered.

3. I don't believe this one, it would be crazy to do this, but you never know.
Various militaries are ALWAYS looking for a weapon to give themselves an edge. And there are MANY evil people in power. I believe that it IS possible that CV originated in a lab. But, it is ALL speculation - above MY pay grade.

It just seems like sloppy maintenance to me that was then covered up. And this would be very hard for say the Chinese intelligence agency to keep a lid on especially after the Corona Virus got out of China. I do not think that if they had a weapon like this they ever would have deliberately let it out as they would not longer be able to use it against their enemies.
Or they DID use it? They set the Western countries back economically and caused MANY wedge issues and China's economy rebounded faster. They even made some $ selling THEIR vaccine. So, as a conspiracy case, you can say that they had a WIN!

"QAnon adherents—who mostly slipped underground following President Joe Biden’s inauguration and a social media crackdown on conspiracy theories—are now galvanized behind the idea that Arizona’s controversial election audit will prove there was fraud, handing the state to former President Donald Trump, and then launching audits in other states that will eventually lead to reversing the election results, and putting Trump back in power."

This is pervasive in the part and over1/3 of GOP actually believe this to be true.

"Almost one in three Republican voters said it's at least somewhat likely that former President Donald Trump will be "reinstated" in 2021, showed a new Morning Consult poll, though there's no feasible way for this to occur. This included 17% of GOP voters who said it's "very likely" Trump will be reinstated."

Would a shark that bit you "REGRET" it?????????

I am sure that you have heard the leader of the GOP talk about this......is not his invention but....

GOP Congresswoman Blamed Wildfires on Jewish Space Laser (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/marjorie-taylor-greene-qanon-wildfires-space-laser-rothschild-execute.html)

"QAnon adherents—who mostly slipped underground following President Joe Biden’s inauguration and a social media crackdown on conspiracy theories—are now galvanized behind the idea that Arizona’s controversial election audit will prove there was fraud, handing the state to former President Donald Trump, and then launching audits in other states that will eventually lead to reversing the election results, and putting Trump back in power."

This is pervasive in the part and over1/3 of GOP actually believe this to be true.

"Almost one in three Republican voters said it's at least somewhat likely that former President Donald Trump will be "reinstated" in 2021, showed a new Morning Consult poll, though there's no feasible way for this to occur. This included 17% of GOP voters who said it's "very likely" Trump will be reinstated."


29% of Republicans Say It's Likely Trump Will Be 'Reinstated' in 2021: Poll (https://www.businessinsider.com/29-percent-republicans-its-likely-trump-will-be-reinstated-poll-2021-6)

How does a country function with this kind of looney tune antics.

Hope you have been following the various court cases with th Jan 6 insurrection and hear what these people are saying about this as well.

It isn't just Qanons or Rs w the looney tunes antics. Allow me to add the rest of the story, the part you should have included in the name of "all the facts".

According to The Hill-HarrisX poll.
While a portion of Republicans support the idea, the majority of voters believe it is unlikely Trump will be reinstated.

In The Hill-HarrisX poll, 70% of Republicans remained doubtful Trump could make a return to the Oval Office, along with 74% of independents and 87% of Democrats.

However, 26% of independent voters disagreed, saying it is likely Trump will be reinstated, while 13% of Democrats said the same.

Given the new info coming out re: the 1/6 "insurrection", I'll hold my judgement to see how it pans out. The real ****er about this issue: some 400 "insurrectionists" are being held in a DC jail, some have been there for months, no charges yet brought. Putin got to point it out in Geneva, in front of the World, that America is guilty of holding protesting political prisoners.

Your other point re: MTG has been refuted in post #126.

What are you raving about now? I got my first shot of the vaccine on the very first day Publix scheduled the shots. You seem to think that people who recognize the success of warp speed are anti vaccine people? How ludicrous!

If you want to talk about people who are resistant to the vaccine you might want to start with employees at the NIH CDC FDA etc because only 50-60% of them accepted the vaccine.
96% of all US Doctors have been vaccinated!

He was referring to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been stripped of all of her committee assignments, and is basically powerless...

He had two posts in response to mine, one was dedicated almost entirely to Carlson's statements.

Yes it's boring when people think only their sources are accurate. They think if CNN NYT MSNBC etc don't have the story it can't be true. It's sad because the very sources they trust peddled lie after lie about Russian collusion for 4 years You'd think they might wake up.
Russian "collusion" and hacking are ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The head of the FBI testified to Congress about that. The Russians do that in every country to have things go their way. They poisoned a man and daughter with RADIATION in the UK. And the recent gas station lines in the Northeast. Get real - Russia is NOT your friend.

I agree. The chances of actual facts about this being made public are very slim. The US has a long-standing biological warfare program itself, which was supposed to be disbanded ages ago.

If China released the virus on purpose, that could be an international crime against humanity and should be investigated. But, that seems very unlikely, since releasing a biological warfare agent in your own country is not very smart.
Actually, it MIGHT (?) be smart. It would allow China to avert BLAME and come off looking innocent in the eyes of the world. Improve their economy (lives are cheap there) and hurt the Western world. Like covering their tracks.

Once an agency has lied as much as the FBI has in recent years, then they can no longer be considered a credible source. Not that everything they say is a lie but it can not assumed to be factual.

While I do see Carlson as an influencer, I don't see him as a 'person in power'. He has no decision-making authority, incapable of changing any law, therefore no power.

As to the AZ audit, I'll await the findings before declaring any reported irregularities as bizarre. I want free AND fair elections and believe audits are reasonable if only to prove that's what it was.

Trump's comments were perceived as a disavowment by the Qanon community. And they were p!**ed!
Real audits were completed in Arizona BEFORE the election was confirmed. What is going on in Arizona IS a SHAM audit - just something to get TV coverage and keep the Cult happy. The SHAM involved the collecting of voting machines - which is ILLEGAL. That showboat, futile action will cost Az. taxpayers MILLIONS of dollars. If this action spreads to many other states, our next federal election will be useless! Then what??????? Plus more wasted $.

Are you capable of making a rational point without the use of strawmen?

Should I condemn everything you say because antifa protestors have tried to burn down a Portland Federal courthouse for the last 6 months? Or after George Floyd, they threw stones and bricks atpolice and caused billions in damages?

There always going to be whackos on both ends of the spectrums. It just so happens that the violent ones are almost exclusively on the left.

I was replying to a poster who played the innocent, or at least her posts sounded that theme, but suddenly perked up and got wiser, but I felt she needed to have her memory jogged.

Those who give credence to this “crap” and crap all it is deserve to be constantly reminded that what is happening is serious.....having our government be the headline sordid stuff around the world is embarrassing. Especially since the world knows it is all based on lies, nothing else.

And to those who simply think they are enjoying this “game”, I remind they are the enablers, the pawns, and it is that image the world has of them.

I lived through the Nixon years with a close up view of corruption, and the last few years made that period historic as good guys.

I left the party, but did not become a member of the other. I have watched for the last years, as my old “team” is being destroyed, torn to shreds by insidious lying and one conspiracy after another.

I suppose the followers of Jim Jones “get it”. They were in the same exact place, without social media.

Democracy is fragile, it is teetering because of these people, including enablers.

Does this mean, the other is pure, better, or more honest.....NO. But they are true amateurs when the lying, corruption and deceit steps up.

These are no. Longer “political” battles, but much more serious. I was disgusted and sick up till January 6 at which time I was and am simply in awe at those who, to this day, make any excuse for an invasion on our very own capital, based on yet another lie.

Hope that is straightforward enough for you.

I am also tired of the Antifa references, etc. there is simply not even a close comparison, and the fact you make it says a lot. I lived through the 60’s, was terrified, and disgusted. I have said this on here a lot, but that is absolutely no comparison to an attack on the very capitol and supposed center of our democracy, based on lies...not one single truth, rooted on by the leader of the country.

I am also tired of the anti government rants to justify every action that is deplorable.

Nobody is perfect, nor have they ever been perfect.

Our government has ways to deal with anything....founding fathers did a great job.

Recently, it is made much worse by using everything for political gain.

The recent exposes of the last 4 years, you never heard of until now but you will continue to, and I hope it is handled like our government always did and without the gross, overdone accusations.

In the last years our government was not allowed to function...it was used. I believe the things we are learning to to learn will be handled in the adult manner spelled out in our constitution. USA was not founded on unsubstantiated,malicious accusations, but LAW.

She posted it on Facebook, then deleted the post. Here's a blurb from Newsweek about it (it's behind a paywall but if you haven't gone to Newsweek in 30 days you can check the article yourself):

Greene referenced her now-deleted November 2018 Facebook post in which she laid out the conspiracy theory. While Greene didn't use the phrase "Jewish space lasers" in her post, she did lay out a conspiracy theory claiming that the 2018 California wildfires were possibly caused by "lasers or blue beams of light." She also claimed the wildfires would benefit an international banking firm with a Jewish family name.

It goes on with further explanation but due to my respect of copyright law I won't post the entire thing here (I know, foreign concept to most of you but copyright law is something actual journalists know and respect). Here's the link:
