Oh Really? CIA Now Admits They Think COVID Came From a Lab Leak

Change is coming at a fast and furious pace since Donald J. Trump assumed the presidency on January 20, and each and every day we’re seeing the results. There’s new leadership at the Central Intelligence Agency after former DNI John Ratcliffe was sworn in as its new director on Thursday, and already he’s dropping some truth and releasing a report that shows the CIA believes what many of us contended from Day One: that the COVID virus emanated from a laboratory—not from a Chinese “wet market.”

For years, opining that it could have come from a lab was likely to get you censored and kicked off social media, but those days are over:

The C.I.A. has said for years that it did not have enough information to conclude whether the Covid pandemic emerged naturally from a wet market in Wuhan, China, or from an accidental leak at a research lab there.

But the agency issued a new assessment this week, with analysts saying they now favor the lab theory.

That shift is based on “the available body of reporting,” although the other theory remains plausible, a spokeswoman for the agency said, adding that the agency will continue to evaluate any available credible new intelligence reporting.

You don’t say.

It’s a new day in Washington, D.C.:

The shocking part about this story is not that the virus came from a lab—who in their right mind didn’t think that immediately when they heard that a novel coronavirus had emerged from a city in China that just happened to be right next to the Wuhan Institute of Virology? It doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together. 

No, what’s shocking is how long Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration lied to the world and what lengths they went to shut down discussion of the matter.

Fauci: I Made It All Up


Unfortunately, corrupt former President Biden issued a preemptive 11th-hour pardon to the fame-addicted Fauci, so he can’t be prosecuted for any crimes he may have committed since 2014. However, he could still be hauled in front of Congress, something Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has vowed to do, and if he is caught lying, he could be nailed for that. Furthermore, he can’t take the Fifth because he’s already been pardoned.

The excesses committed by our government during that era should never be forgotten and should never be repeated. Good for Ratcliffe for releasing this report, even though he’s barely taken office.


It's personal:

Meanwhile, Biden, Fauci, and all the others who participated in the censorship and misinformation efforts should be remembered in history as the disgraces they are.
