Seems like a whole lot of well-informed people keep thinking the thought that our kowtowing media keeps telling us we’re forbidden to think:
The US State Department’s former lead investigator who oversaw the COVID-19 task force into the origins of the virus believes SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and may have been the product of bioweapons research, according to Fox News.
“The Wuhan Institute of Virology is not the National Institute of Health,” David Asher – now a senior fellow at the Hudson institute – told Fox News in an interview, adding: “It was operating a secret, classified program. In my view, and I’m just one person, my view is it was a biological weapons program.”
Asher has long been a “follow the money” guy who has worked on some of the most classified intelligence investigations for the State Department and Treasury under both Democratic and Republican administrations. He led the team that uncovered the international nuclear procurement network run by the father of Pakistan’s nuclear program, AQ Khan, and uncovered key parts of North Korea’s secret uranium enrichment. He believes the Chinese Communist Party has been involved in a massive cover-up during the past 14 months. -Fox News
“And if you believe, as I do, that this might have been a weapons vector gone awry, not deliberately released, but in development and then somehow leaked, this has turned out to be the greatest weapon in history,” Asher told a Hudson Institute panel discussing the origins of the pandemic. “You’ve taken out 15 to 20 percent of global GDP. You’ve killed millions of people. The Chinese population has been barely affected. Their economies roared back to being number one in the entire G20.”
According to Asher – who interfaced with the Chinese government as the State Department’s lead representative during the 2003 SARS outbreak – the CCP’s behavior surrounding COVID-19 reminds him of criminal investigations he’s overseen.
“Motive, cover-up, conspiracy, all the hallmarks of guilt are associated with this. And the fact that the initial cluster of victims surrounded the very institute that was doing the highly dangerous, if not dubious research is significant,” he said.
One wonders who it was that first gave the MSM their marching orders: “Never say ‘China virus!’ Never say that it might have come from the giant viral lab researching coronavirus in the same city it originated in!” The fact that they continue to label this very logical inference a “conspiracy theory” after Trump has left the White House suggests a desperate need to please China among our so-called media elites.

The weaponized Wu Flu did not take out the GDP. Overzealous authoritarian idiots in governments did that! Worse yet, those overzealous authoritarian idiots in governments did that knowing the virus was not their “real” reason for their overreach. Power corrupts.
The big remaining questions, as far as I can tell, are:
– which lab in Wuhan did the virus come out of – the Level 4 virology lab that we regionally suspected, 20 miles from the fresh market, the Level 2 virology lab adjacent to the fresh market, or possibly a PLA virology lab in the area?
– was the release advertent (intentional), or inadvertent (negligence)? My vote is inadvertent, in keeping with long term Communist lab practices, always a bit slap dash. My argument against advertency is the location, right by the Chinese labs most likely to be doing this type of research.
– how was the virus created? That Taiwanese virologist laid out a plausible route through gene editing? But friends who should know are talking proof of concept pushed evolution through modified mouse cells with human ACE2 receptors.
With all their virus trouble, bird flu, swine flu, people flu and now bat flu, the researchers in Wuhan could have been working on a universal vaccine, a much more valuable product for long suffering Chinese.
Don’t trust either the Obama corrupted agencies or the Chinese Commies. Running a high security laboratory is immensely difficult in a functioning society. In a corrupt CCP, fat chance.
China has been producing new and wonderful diseases for cednturies. Wild animals, farm animals, migrating birds, and a Billion or so humans all drinking, eating, shitting in the same area. If it was going to happen, there couldn’t be a better opportunity. And clearly the CCP helped spread MaoTse Lung by keeping international travel open to the world. I am sure that they will act guilty. But about what? Did they make it? Or did they just let the most recent horror use the wings of Boeing and Airbus?
Guilty either way, but incompetence followed by malice seems to explain the outcome. Then, of course, the Corruptocrats used the CCP result to justify all that they needed to put Resident Zhou-Bai-Den behind the resolute desk (a/k/a Not-POTUS).
No one with an IQ over room temperature trusted the CCP. The coup by the Corruptocrats and Chamber portions of the Uniparty took a bit more observation. Don’t be distracted by the CCP. The real “enemy” is much closer. Like “US Chamber of Conquest”.
By the way, when did Zhou-Bai-Den have his stroke?
[…] the lab leak hypothesis several times. […]
