COVID being a lab experiment gone awry looks more credible by the day. Well, more credible for the liberal media folks who ignored it for months. We knew about it. Others did as well. Donald Trump, some Republican Senators, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also pitched this as a theory that was dismissed by the mainstream press. Someone they hated mentioned it so they couldn’t be bothered to do their jobs. Now, the intelligence community is investigating it and the experts say it cannot be ruled out.
Again, this isn’t new. The liberal media is trying to act like they played no part in smearing people who mentioned this. How many ‘debunked’ headlines did you read about the Wuhan lab leak theory. Three Wuhan virology lab staffers fell ill in November of 2019 with COVID-like symptoms. In December of 2019, lab samples were destroyed. New video showed staffers handling bats without gloves or protective gear. They were covered in blood. Oh, and these bats were biting the technicians. Now, The Wall Street Journal published a recent op-ed piece by two scientists who have declared that the science points to a Wuhan lab disaster. It’s heavy on the scientific language so I’ll just let Steven Quay and Richard Muller, the two men who wrote the piece, explain: … the most compelling reason to favor the lab leak hypothesis is firmly based in science. In particular, consider the genetic fingerprint of CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for the disease Covid-19.
In gain-of-function research, a microbiologist can increase the lethality of a coronavirus enormously by splicing a special sequence into its genome at a prime location. Doing this leaves no trace of manipulation. But it alters the virus spike protein, rendering it easier for the virus to inject genetic material into the victim cell.

In the case of the gain-of-function supercharge, other sequences could have been spliced into this same site. Instead of a CGG-CGG (known as “double CGG”) that tells the protein factory to make two arginine amino acids in a row, you’ll obtain equal lethality by splicing any one of […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
