Foreigna I'm back with a new mini episode of Pod Force One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post today. The topic is Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell revelations On Friday, her last day as the powerful Director of National Intelligence disturbing allegations about Dr. Anthony Fauci, his role in the COVID 19 pandemic, the COVID up and the shadowy involvement of the intelligence agencies. On her final day as Director of National Intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID 19 pandemic, engaging in a cover up about the virus origins in China and lying to Congress about it. Perhaps most disturbingly, she said, he was assisted by the US intelligence community at every step. It's time you know the truth, said Gabbard when she released never before seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provide millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab, worked with politicised elements within the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide virus's lab leak origins and lied to Congress while Under oath in 2024. Still quoting the tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. End quote. Right on cue. Two days after her bombshell release on Sunday, the Washington Post ran a 9,000 word hit piece accusing Gabbard with of taking instructions from a Hindu cult leader described in the headline as her guru. It was a gratuitous exercise in guilt by association masquerading as an investigation, another tactic straight from the Deep State playbook. Meanwhile, the Washington Post did not publish a word about Gabbard's Fauci revelations, nor for that matter did any mainstream outlet on the left. The same news organisations that helped cover up the origins of the COVID 19 pandemic, now overwhelmingly believed to have come from a leak from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, are still refusing to come clean. On liberal social media platform Blue sky, they're still talking about wet markets and pangolins. Meanwhile, Fauci, 85, on a handsome government pension, holds a prestigious role as distinguished university professor at Georgetown University and is showered with rich rewards for defending science. Gabbard's revelations go some way to explaining the surreal disconnect. Fauci is protected by the Deep State and its tentacles, which extend deep into the media, academia and other reputation forming institutions. His quote close relationship with the intelligence community shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence, said Gabbard, still quoting Fauci was the behind the scenes advisor who alongside his hand picked so called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars. Gabbard, who had to leave the role due to her husband's illness, did her best to fight for transparency against an array of forces in Washington that regarded her a loose cannon and sought to shut her out. But President Trump has installed bulldog Bill Pulty as her interim successor, despite the best efforts by the Senate to expedite the confirmation of Jay Clayton, the former SEC chairman whom Trump has named the next dni. Trump intervened, ostensibly for another reason to slow the process, giving Pulte time to look for more bodies. Meanwhile, Fauci's nemesis, maverick Republican Senator Rand Paul, has again sent criminal referrals to the DOJ against Fauci for the 2024 alleged perjury Gabbard detailed in her Friday dump. Perhaps more significantly, Paul insists the 11 year blanket pardon Joe Biden issued for Fauci in his last minutes on his last day in office should be challenged in court, both because it was signed with an auto PE and because of its rare retrospective nature. Curiously, Fauci's pardon stretches back to the exact date of Hunter Biden's retrospective blanket pardon, January 1, 2014 and encompasses his oversight of NIH NIAID funding of gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab via the New York based cutout Ecohealth Alliance. The now defunct Ecohealth was a nonprofit supposedly devoted to predicting future pandemics. Situated in a nondescript Manhattan office building, its enigmatic founder, British born Peter Daszak, received millions of dollars in various grants from Fauci's outfit, but his biggest donor was the Department of Defense, which gave him more than 40 million for the purpose of combating weapons of mass destruction. Back in August 2021, I was told by a former EcoHealth employee who requested anonymity that Daszak had been quote, by the CIA in late 2015 to help them access the Wuhan Lab, believed to be a Chinese military operation. Daszak later told House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer that he had been contacted by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, although he didn't say when. If the intelligence community knew about the dangerous gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at Wuhan, did it know about evidence of a potential leak as early as August 2019? That was the start of a dramatic increase in car traffic around major hospitals in Wuhan in the late summer and fall of 2019, long before the outbreak was reported to the world. A Harvard Medical School study published in June 2020 found that aerial images captured by private satellites of five Wuhan hospitals suggested a health crisis was underway at the time. Traffic and parking lot volume were compared with the same period in 2018, and there was a steep increase in volume starting in August 2019, says the paper, culminating with a peak in December 2019, the date of the first confirmed COVID 19 case. Between September and October 2019, five of the six Wuhan hospitals showed the most traffic, coinciding with elevated levels of Chinese search engines Baidu search inquiries for the terms diarrhoea and cough back in the US in August 2019, an anonymous whistleblower now known as CIA analyst Eric Cimarella lodged the complaint that led to Trump's Ukraine impeachment. The White House was consumed by the impeachment during the fall and winter of 2019, when the COVID 19 virus started circulating in the US today, the White House is distracted by Iran, so transparency about the role of the intelligence agencies in protecting Fauci and covering up the origins of the pandemic is probably not a priority. Despite Gabbard and Senator Paul's efforts, there is a distinct possibility that nobody will be held accountable for what HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Last week called among the most consequential crimes in human history. Maybe some secrets are just too terrible to be told. And here's a bonus column item for you today. Zoram Mamdani and Kathy Hochul campaigned on making housing affordable. Yet realtor.com's latest report card finds New York has plummeted to the worst state in America for housing affordability and home building. 51st of 51 states. Congress has stepped in with a rare bipartisan bid to address America's 4 million home shortage. But Washington can't fix a problem created in Albany and City Hall. The federal government has done a commendable job on the 21st century road to Housing act, but the reality is that most housing is controlled by state and local governments, says Damian eales, CEO of realtor.com, cutting red tape, relaxing zoning requirements and opening up land for development are inherently local challenges that will have to be solved to address the 4 million shortfall in housing. End quote. New York earned an F grade and a measly 8.5 out of 100 on the report card. New York City fares little better, ranking 296th out of America's 300 largest metros. New York's median home price is now $668,173. Requir more than 55% of median household income to afford. The state is building at less than half the rate its population would suggest. Indiana ranks number one, followed by Iowa, South Carolina, Texas and North Carolina. No surprise that more than 80% of the highest ranking best affordable states are Republican, while Democratic strongholds including New York, California, Massachusetts and Connecticut languish at the bott of the rankings. Quote Undoubtedly political ideology is playing a role, says Eales. Quote to maintain the American dream of home ownership, we must work to remove barriers so we can get shovels into the soil and build the homes America desperately needs. End quote. Amen. Talk is cheap. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to come back on Wednesday for the next episode of Pod Force One with Senator Rand Paul, whose pursuit of Dr. Anthony Fauci is coming to a head. Hope you can tune in and have a great week. Sam.
