It’s Naomi Wolf with Outspoken. I’m here tonight to talk about a huge news story that broke in the last couple of days. It could be thread that unravels the whole COVID virus/vaccine perpetrator issue.

A criminal syndicate, essentially.

Even just this initial gesture is so transformational. It breaks the spell of, “No one can be held accountable, no one can be investigated from the untouchable third rail COVID vaccine rollout, COVID virus rollout.”

I’m also going to share with you some information from 2021 that has been lost along the way or forgotten.

A former Dr Fauci aide has been charged with conspiring to evade COVID-related records requests. This is Politico. Ex-NIH official David Morens is accused of concealing emails about potentially risky virus research. He is indicted on obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges for allegedly concealing federal records about research into viruses like the one that caused the COVID pandemic.

He was indicted by a federal grand jury.

So he’s kind of bypassing that records collection rights, hiding it. There were at least eight FOIA requests submitted for such records by various organizations: Science Magazine, Judicial Watch, the Heritage Foundation. So it’s not as if no one was looking for the records. The bombshell nature of this indictment is that Morens served as a senior advisor to Anthony Fauci.

Senior advisor is a really close and important role. People who are not familiar with how these agencies and the White House work, may not know what an important role it is, but a senior advisor is a lateral official who’s valued as a consultant. So David Morens was very fundamentally in the mix because he was guiding, whispering in the ear of, Dr. Fauci. And Dr. Fauci was consulting him. So now we’ve got the guy who’s at one remove.

Brian O’Shea would say that the indictment goes for the guy next to Dr. Fauci rather than going for Dr. Fauci, because the guy next to Dr. Fauci is in a position to be leaned on, pressured to provide testimony; to turn against Dr. Fauci and the other senior actors in this drama. […]

We’ve been through so much in the last six years. But dial back to 2020 and 2021. When COVID was announced, literally introduced, branded, in March of 2020, people really had to be told what it was, and told to worry about it, and how to worry about it.

And even more dramatically — “two weeks to stop the spread”, they had to be told to stay indoors. The whole script, the whole drama, is painful to remember, but you’ve got to remember it. “Put on your mask. Six feet apart. It came from Wuhan. It came from a bat. It came from a rare animal that they make soup out of.”

Canada’s National Post:

All these dramatic elements of a very kind of shocking and weird and implausible story in in retrospect all were rolled out and they were rolled out by a handful of people with a gigantic marketing campaign; the kind of marketing campaign that people hire teams for, to roll out a new car or a new app or a new piece of technology or home decorating element.

The person who was the face of that was of course, Dr. Fauci, and to some extent, Dr. Deborah Birx.

There was so much drama, as you recall, around other scientists saying, “Hey, this looks as if it was intentionally made more virulent. This doesn’t look natural.”’ They were all blamed.

The bad guys were trying to say, “This was a natural spillover from the animal world to the human world. There was nothing artificial or weaponized or introduced, enhanced, about it.”

The drama went on for months, as the official narrative was struggling to be set in stone and finally was set in stone — only because they got us to stay home and be isolated and completely vulnerable to what was coming at us from our screens and our phones. Before that, there was a fight still for reality.

And there were scientists, as I mentioned, saying, “The furin cleavage site looks engineered. This sequence appears artificially enhanced or altered.”

There was huge backlash against them from Dr. Fauci and his allies, calling these people ‘conspiracy theorists’ — hyperventilating people, imagining things. Even respected peer-reviewed publications such as The Lancet got into the act, and buttressed Dr. Fauci’s assertion that this was “zoonotic” — that this virulent virus, SARS-CoV-2, had come from the natural world, the world of animals, and spilled over into humans totally accidentally.

There were a number of weird cover stories; “Someone bought a pangolin in a wet market — because Chinese people make soup out of pangolins. Someone put a bat in soup and made bat soup.” The raccoon dog was blamed. These cover stories were coming out of legacy media in a nonsensical way. But we didn’t know it was nonsensical because it was “completely new”.

The blameless pangolin:

So we were at the mercy of this nonsense.

The dissident scientists were reminding us that research on weaponizing viruses in this way was illegal, and had been illegal since the Obama era — since 2017. They were pointing out that the research had been outsourced in a globalization-type way — that the U.S. had hired or funded scientists at Wuhan, China, to do the research that was now illegal in the United States. They were smeared, they were attacked.

People were also saying, “Hey, the Wuhan lab isn’t even that secure. There have been outbreaks. And what are the odds that they’re studying this virus in the Wuhan lab and then it breaks out in Wuhan from a wet market. That seems too coincidental to be a coincidence.” I’m sure you remember comedian Jon Stewart:

“Oh my god! There’s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China, what do we do– Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab!”’

“Oh my God, there’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened?’” Stewart joked. “Like, ‘Oh I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean?’ Or it’s the f***ing chocolate factory.”

But reasonable questions were shut down. So just by brute force of propaganda, all the people who were asking reasonable question were marginalized and silenced.

This is all coming back into the news cycle because [Dr Anthony Fauci’s advisor] David Morens got indicted. So what you’re going to see is a circling of the wagons. I’m predicting that Senator Rand Paul is central to what’s going to happen next. Because Sen Paul asked directly, in the depth of “lockdown,” in a Congressional hearing with Dr. Fauci, “Did you fund research to make bat coronaviruses more effective? More damaging, more deadly?”

Dr. Fauci, as you recall, shouted at him histrionically. He said, in effect, “The person who’s lying here is you,” and pointed his finger.

Dr. Fauci was lying, and lying to Congress is a felony. Sen Rand Paul knows that Dr. Fauci is lying. But you don’t have to take Senator Paul’s word for it because the record that Dr. Fauci was lying is there. It just takes one layer of digging. It’s been buried, as if with a layer of dirt, like a shallow grave. Investigator Brian O’Shea, my husband, of the podcast “Investigate Everything,” brought this evidence to me.

In 2021, Brian found the CV of the assistant, Eric Donaldson, of Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina. [I posted it on Twitter at that time and was immediately blocked from all socials.]

The CV shows extensive funding by the NIH of what looks like Gain of Function research in the United States, as well as in China, to develop, as it appears, what became a precursor to COVID.

So the headline that you need to take away from this episode is we, the United States, specifically Dr. Fauci, Dr. Baric and his colleagues, as well as China, are responsible for funding the development of technologies for what became SARS-CoV-2, which shut down the entire world.

Millions of people died. The pretext for a rollout of vaccines from which hundreds of thousands of people have died and probably millions have been injured.

We invented it. We developed it. It wouldn’t have existed without this research.

The CV shows that Dr. Fauci funded the scientists to take benign coronaviruses out in the wild, living in bats, and take them into labs and weaponize them, make them more deadly, and publish studies about how they were making them more deadly.

Then, whether intentionally or not, that material got released into the human population of this planet. That’s the headline. Dr. Fauci did that. Dr. Baric did that. Dr. Fauci’s funding was doing this research at the University of North Carolina and elsewhere.

By 2017, because of Obama’s ending research into bioweapons. Dr. Fauci funded outsourced science, in China, but still overseen by Dr Ralph Baric. And that’s why in a peer-reviewed article that Dr Ralph Baric published, about making bat coronaviruses more infectious, he thanked the “bat lady,” Shi Zhengli. The one who was blamed for actually developing and inadvertently releasing the coronavirus when the lab leak became the main hypothesis.
