Despite them being complicit in China’s cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak, the media has held up the WHO as an organization beyond reproach which cannot be questioned.
Social media networks are removing material and banning people who criticize the World’s Health Organization’s guidelines.
Given that the global health body is pushing such sickness onto toddlers, the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw funding is looking better every day.

summitnews--2020-04-30--Report: Communist Chinese Knew That Their Bio-Labs Were A Ticking Time Bomb

The communist Chinese government was painfully aware that bio-labs including the Wuhan Institute of Virology , where it is thought the coronavirus could have originated , were in desperate need of safety upgrades to prevent accidental leaks .
An article in Asian Review notes that Chinese President Xi Jinping has been discussing the need for “ biosafety ” improvements for the past year .
“ Beijing had been preparing biosecurity law , but not fast enough , ” the report notes , adding that “ China has been preparing for it carefully for quite a long time , conscious of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The report goes on to explain that France , a country instrumental in the construction of the lab , found a significant flaw in the framework for ensuring the safety of virus research in China .
“ China wanted to catch up with advanced countries in biotech research as soon as possible .
To that end , it needed to establish related laws on par with those in countries like France , the U.S. and Germany.
” the report continues .
A report was received by the Chinese parliament last October , detailing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upgraded : The report notes that “ the measures were not introduced in time for China to prevent the Wuhan outbreak .
Instead , information was initially covered up and China ’ s first steps were delayed.
” In February , when it was clear that the outbreak was spreading , “ Xi urged top leaders to enhance the country ’ s governance capacity for biosafety and to enact “ a biosecurity law ” at the earliest possible date , ” according to the report .
This only enhanced the suspicions of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lab .
Since that time , China has denied the US access to the Wuhan lab , according to US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo .
The facility has come under increased scrutiny after it was revealed that the US government under the Obama administration funded research there for a number of years .
In addition , a world renowned Russian microbiologist claimed last week that the novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of Wuhan scientists doing “ absolutely crazy things ” in their lab .
Furthermore , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director who visited the Wuhan institute in 2017 says that it would be foolish to dismiss the idea that the coronavirus escaped from the facility , and that “ Accidents happen ” in such labs .
Footage from inside the lab , broadcast in 2018 , showing scientists working on coronavirus in bats , has increased scrutiny on the lab even further .

The families of four people who died from COVID-19 are suing EcoHealth alliance, the New York-based nonprofit that was conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out across town.
According to the Aug. 2 lawsuit filed before the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, EcoHealth and its president, Peter Daszak, knew the virus was “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic.”
Not only did EcoHealth help to create a ‘genetically manipulated virus,’ the lawsuit claims, it worked to cover up the origins of the outbreak.
“If we had known the source or origin of this virus and had not been misled that it was from a pangolin in a wet market, and rather we knew that it was a genetically manipulated virus, and that the scientists involved were concealing that from our clients, the outcome could have been very different,” victims’ attorney Patricia Finn told the NY Post.
The families of Mary Conroy, of Pennsylvania; Emma D. Holley, of Rochester, NY; Larry Carr, of Crossville, Tennessee; and Raul Osuna, of Bennington, Nebraska, are seeking unspecified damages. “[The families of the deceased] are definitely in mourning, but moreover they’re enraged because the truth of what really happened appears to be coming forward,” Finn added. Paul Rinker, of Pennsylvania, is also suing Midtown-based EcoHealth and Daszak over the “serious injuries” he suffered from his bout with the bug.
Finn is also suing EcoHealth and Daszak in Nassau and Rockland Counties on behalf of the families of other victims killed by the virus, as well as two who survived.
“This particular case is highly offensive because it appears they knew and concealed the origin of the virus,” said Finn, adding “The treatment or approach taken in dealing with the virus could have been radically different than it was.”
Fauci is simply lying here. Zheng-Li Shi's lab at the WIV and EcoHealth Alliance (which administered NIH subawards to Zheng-Li Shi's lab) were absolutely manipulating viruses (using NIAID funds) in order to see which mutations would make them more dangerous to humans. https://t.co/2MD0oM4sWh — Justin B. Kinney (@jbkinney) August 12, 2023
EcoHealth notably received a re-activated grant from the NIH for over $576,000 in May to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans, despite failing to meet the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement.
As the Epoch Times noted;
The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.
In May 2016, the grant was suspended after Erik Stemmy, a NIAID program officer, noticed that federal government funds may have been used for prohibited gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. At the time, the Obama administration had put in place a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the suspension was lifted in July 2016. At the time, EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, thanked NIAID in an email for lifting the gain-of-function funding pause.
As part of the conditions of the grant, EcoHealth had to file regular activity reports. However, starting in 2018, EcoHealth stopped submitting these reports. EcoHealth would later blame technical difficulties for their failure to submit. The missing reports comprised the critical 2018–2019 timeframe right before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
* * *
More:
In 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH effectively shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to EcoHealth, headed by Peter Daszak.
Notably, the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
Yet, after Sars-CoV-2 broke out in the same town where Daszak was manipulating Bat Covid, The Lancet published a screed by Daszak (signed by over two-dozen scientists), which insisted the virus could have only come from a natural spillover event, likely from a wet market, and that the scientists “stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The Lancet only later noted Daszak’s conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, as we noted late last year, a Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID19 Pandemic” concluded that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.
Insanity…

summitnews--2020-04-30--Video From 2018 Shows Chinese Scientists Working On Coronavirus In Wuhan Lab

Video footage aired by Chinese state media has revealed Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of virology studying ‘ a novel coronavirus ’ that they discovered within bats in 2018 , less than two years before the outbreak .
The video was broadcast by communist mouthpiece CCTV in April 2018 , but has since reemerged on the web following the global coronavirus spread .
The so called ‘ bat woman ’ Shi Zhengli , a lead researcher from the institute , has claimed that the pathogen scientists were working on in the video is different from the current strain of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands around the world .
The video highlights that the virus was found in rufous horseshoe bats , native to East and South Asia , but not found naturally in Wuhan .
Separate research has found that the coronavirus we have come to know is 96 % identical to the strain in these bats .
The strain was found to be responsible for a large outbreak of fatal disease in pigs in southern China just one year earlier .
In a previous paper Shi noted that the outbreak emerged in the province of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of more than 20,000 piglets .
The CCTV footage notes that “ The research shows that mankind must actively monitor the viral infections in bats and other wild animals.
” According to a report in the Australian Daily Telegraph this week , the so called ‘ Five eyes ’ intelligence co-operative – agencies in Australia , Canada , NZ , UK and US , are all investigating senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology , Peng Zhou , with regards to the potential of the coronavirus leaking from the lab .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ co-funded Zhou ’ s research into bat borne viruses , in co-operation with the Chinese government .
It reveals that the scientist also spent three years at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014 , as part of a study involving transporting bats from Queensland to the lab to be dissected and studied for viruses .
China has denied the US access to the Wuhan lab , according to US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo .
The facility has come under increased scrutiny after it was revealed that the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a number of years .

summitnews--2020-04-30--Video: Trump Vows ‘Action Against China Is Coming’

Speaking from the Oval office Wednesday , President Trump reiterated that retaliation against China for its coverup and exacerbation of the coronavirus spread is coming soon .
Speaking about investigations underway by several intelligence agencies , including the NSA , CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency , Trump said information is “ coming in and I ’ m getting pieces already .
And we ’ re not happy about it.
” “ We ’ re coming up with a very distinct recommendation .
But we ’ re not happy with it , ” Trump said , referring to a plan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There ’ s nothing positive about what happened in China having to do with this subject .
Nothing positive at all , ” the president added .
Trump also again slammed the World Health Organisation , and defended his decision to de-fund the organisation .
“ We are by far the largest contributor to WHO – world health .
And they misled us , ” Trump said , charging that the global body lied about the spread of the virus .
“ They must have known more than they [ announced ] ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things that they didn ’ t know – either they didn ’ t know or they didn ’ t tell us.
” “ Right now they ’ re literally a pipe organ for China .
That ’ s the way I view it .
So , we ’ re seeing and we ’ re looking and we ’ re watching.
” the President urged .
“ Again we give $ 500 million – we have over the years – from $ 400- $ 500 for a long time , for many years .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and yet they seem to work for China , ” Trump said of the WHO .
Earlier this week , the President promised that the US will seek to secure hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations from China , noting that “ There are a lot of ways you can hold them accountable.
” Intelligence officials are in the process of gathering communication intercepts , human source reporting and satellite imagery reviews from China and the WHO , reports NBC News .
Meanwhile , US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to its virology labs , urging that “ We don ’ t know precisely where this virus originated from.
” “ There are multiple labs that are continuing to conduct work , we think , on contagious pathogens inside of China today and we don ’ t know if they are operating at a level of security to prevent this from happening again , ” Pompeo stressed .
“ The Chinese Communist Party tells us they want to be our partners .

The Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) has ordered 100,000 more ‘ human remains pouches ’ in preparation for a second wave of coronavirus , expected to hit in the fall , as more than a million cases and 60,000 deaths were confirmed in the US .
The order for the body bags , costing $ 5.1 million , was made last week , coming only weeks after a previous order for 100,000 body bags in a contract with the DoD .

Germany is considering handing out “ coronavirus immunity cards ” to its citizens that would allow those who have developed antibodies to COVID-19 to have more freedom than the as-yet uninfected .
Health Minister Jens Spahn said that the cards could make life easier “ in many places ” for Germans who could prove they were immune .
“ While such a rationale looks legit at a glance , further passages of the bill suggest more intrusion , ” reports RT .
“ They refer to the Infection Protection Act , under which the state can forcefully send contagious people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into quarantine , or even bar them from entering certain public places.
” Critics reacted to the proposal by likening it to the darkest chapter in Germany ’ s history .
“ Curbing basic rights for a group of the population has already existed in Germany , ” said one , while another compared the ID card to Jews being forced to wear yellow stars .
Others suggested that the ID card would incentivize people to get infected so they could enjoy greater freedom of movement .
The same principle as the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any future vaccine , with those who refuse to to take the shot not allowed to travel .

summitnews--2020-05-01--Prominent Scientists Warned In 2013 Of Chinese Labs ‘Appalling Irresponsibility’ With Viruses

A number of leading western scientists issued a stark warning in 2013 that Chinese researchers in virology labs were playing with fire by mixing animal viruses with human pathogens , and that the new strains could leak into the world , causing a killer pandemic .
The Independent published a piece covering the scientists ’ concerns on Thursday 2 May 2013 .
Senior scientists have criticised the “ appalling irresponsibility ” of researchers in China who have deliberately created new strains of influenza virus in a veterinary laboratory .
They warned there is a danger that the new viral strains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influenza could escape from the laboratory to cause a global pandemic killing millions of people .
The piece concentrates on experiments with bird flu , but it is a known fact that scientists in China were also experimenting with bat borne coronavirus at this time .
The research was condemned by former UK government chief scientist Lord May of Oxford , who warned it was dangerous and was doing nothing to further the understanding and prevention of flu pandemics .
“ They claim they are doing this to help develop vaccines and such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that they are driven by blind ambition with no common sense whatsoever , ” Lord May told The Independent at the time .
“ The record of containment in labs like this is not reassuring .
They are taking it upon themselves to create human-to-human transmission of very dangerous viruses .
It ’ s appallingly irresponsible , ” he said .
Another scientist , Professor Simon Wain-Hobson , an eminent virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris said at the time that “ It ’ s a fabulous piece of virology by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very impressive , but they haven ’ t been thinking clearly about what they are doing .
It ’ s very worrying.
” “ The virological basis of this work is not strong .
It is of no use for vaccine development and the benefit in terms of surveillance for new flu viruses is oversold , ” he added .
Coincidentally , Lord May died this week at the age of 84 .
The Scientist notes that “ May ’ s modeling legacy extends to the current outbreak of COVID-19.
” “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the coronavirus pandemic all have their genesis in the seminal work Lord Robert May undertook 40 years ago with Sir Roy Anderson , ” the piece notes .
The warnings were there , and this article from seven years ago shows that investigating the bio-labs in Wuhan and the rest of China should indeed be the number one priority of every government in the world right now .
As we have exhaustively covered , several experts are on record as saying that the coronavirus pandemic could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese government knew its labs were a ticking time bomb , and were aware safety measures needed improving .

A Geneva-based private investigator says the number of requests he has received from people wishing to spy on their neighbors since lockdown has exploded.
Christian Sideris, founder of Seeclop, said that he normally gets around two requests a year for such cases but that since Switzerland imposed its coronavirus shut down, he’s receiving two a week.
Describing some of the callers as “desperate,” Sideris said, “We have a lot of these types of cases because people are confined and on top of each other all day.”
One of the calls came from a retiree who was angry at a neighbor for talking loudly on late night conference calls while another came from a woman who was mad at the family downstairs for hosting child play dates.
Sideris says he rejected all but one of the cases, which involved a father who was cheating on his wife with multiple mistresses, potentially exposing his child to COVID-19.
According to authorities in Geneva, noise complaints have doubled since the lockdown.
This Swiss are notorious for complaining about their neighbors, but the trend of exploiting the coronavirus lockdown to snitch on people has been observed all over the western world.
A man in DC said his neighbor called the police on him for lifting weights in his own front yard, while some Californians are alerting authorities if they hear their neighbor coughing and sneezing indoors.

summitnews--2020-05-01--Pompeo: WHO Leader Went To China, Didn’t Declare Pandemic Until Everyone Knew

The World Health Organisation has repeatedly requested access to China to take part in the country ’ s investigations into the origins of the coronavirus , but has been denied an ‘ invite ’ , according to one leading official .
Dr Gauden Galea told Sky News that “ WHO is making requests of the health commission and of the authorities , ” but has so far come up empty handed .
“ We know that some national investigation is happening but at this stage we have not been invited to join , ” Galea explained .
“ The origins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ animal-human interface is extremely important and needs to be studied , ” Galea said , adding that “ The priority is we need to know as much as possible to prevent the reoccurrence.
” The doctor also noted that the WHO has not been allowed to see logs from the two bio-labs in Wuhan , where it is confirmed that scientists were conducting research on a novel coronavirus .
The lab logs “ would need to be part of any full report , any full look at the story of the origins , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available evidence , WHO colleagues in our three-level system are convinced that the origins are in Wuhan and that it is a naturally occurring , not a manufactured , virus , ” the doctor said .
It ’ s a conclusion that now appears to be supported by US intelligence , but the possibility of the virus leaking from the lab is still a distinct possibility .
The WHO has Faced criticism from the world ’ s governments for parroting China ’ s talking points on the virus , and Galea said little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We only know what China is reporting to us.
” He admitted that China ’ s death toll and case numbers are almost certainly false , noting “ that is something that China will have to answer for.
” When asked about the WHO ’ s infamous January 14 tweet announcing there was no human to human transmission , the doctor admitted that the WHO did “ strongly ” suspect at the time that the virus was spreading in humans , but announced the opposite anyway .
“ WHO was increasingly worried and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human-to-human transmission .
But as yet the cases that had been presented to us and the investigations had not yet confirmed that 100 % , ” Galea said .
He then revealed that the WHO only changed it ’ s stance when it was told by a healthcare worker immediately upon getting to Wuhan on January 20th that the virus was spreading in humans .
“ The healthcare worker simply volunteered the moment we entered the fever clinic , ” Dr Galea said .
So , the only reason the WHO announced the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fortunate encounter with a well intentioned health worker .

While Brits remain on lockdown and most domestic flights are cancelled , it has been revealed that 100,000 people are arriving at British airports from abroad every single week .
The detail was revealed in a London Times article about three British airports requiring passengers to cover their faces from this week onwards .

Heathrow boss John Holland-Kaye warns that ‘ social distancing ’ measures would never work at airports because queues to board flights would be a kilometer long .
The British public has been repeatedly told that even after the lockdown ends , they will have to practice ‘ social distancing ’ – standing two meters away from the nearest person – for months or even years into the future .

“ Forget social distancing , it won ’ t work in aviation or any other form of public transport , and the problem is not the plane , it is the lack of space in the airport , ” wrote Holland-Kaye in the Daily Telegraph .

summitnews--2020-05-04--Two Separate Reports Confirm ‘Most Intel Agencies’ In US Believe Coronavirus Came From Wuhan Lab

Two separate reports cited a senior intelligence official as confirming that most of the 17 US intelligence agencies believe that the coronavirus originated in the Wuhan Institute of virology .
The Daily Caller spoke to one senior official , who anonymously related that “ the majority view among the US intelligence community agencies is that COVID-19 is natural and accidentally leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan.
” The official told the news site that not all agencies are “ fully behind the idea ” that the spread was due to an accidental laboratory leak , but “ most believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ official also stated that the intelligence agencies are unanimously in agreement that the outbreak “ was not the result of an intentional act.
” The report dovetails with details contained in a Fox News investigation , which also cited a senior official as saying that most of the intel community is decided on the lab leak theory .
White House reporter John Roberts reported Saturday “ there is agreement among most of the 17 Intelligence agencies that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab .
The source stressed that the release is believed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intentional.
” The agencies that have yet to commit to the theory as confirmed are awaiting a more solid “ smoking gun , ” according to the official .
The findings come after a ‘ five eyes ’ report was leaked , detailing how the intelligence agencies of the US , UK , Australia , New Zealand and Canada all believe China engaged in a cover up of the real severity of the outbreak .
The document , obtained by Australia ’ s Saturday Telegraph newspaper , finds that China ’ s secrecy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transparency.
” The confirmation from the senior US official contradicts a report in the New York Times last week that suggested the White House has unduly pressured intelligence agencies to link the Wuhan bio-lab to the coronavirus outbreak .
The story was repeatedly cited by mainstream sources and leftist websites , to suggest that US intelligence agencies have all but dismissed the notion , when that clearly appears to be the opposite of what is happening .
Prominent scientists are on record dating back years , with warnings that Chinese virus research is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan institute has to be considered the number one suspect as the origin for the current global pandemic .


summitnews--2020-05-04--AP: Intel Docs Claim China “Intentionally Concealed The Severity” Of Coronavirus To Hoard Supplies

The Associated Press has obtained a US Department of Homeland Security intelligence report that concludes China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak , including the fact that it was contagious in humans , in order to stock up on medical supplies and protection equipment before the rest of the world knew .
The four page report dated May 1 , outlines how US officials believe China “ intentionally concealed the severity ” of the outbreak in January .
The report details how China downplayed the spread of the virus while increasing imports and decreasing exports of medical supplies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data , ” the report states .
The document also contends that China intentionally delayed informing the World Health Organization that the coronavirus “ was a contagion ” for almost a month .
As we have documented , the WHO merely parroted China ’ s claims , until it was able to send a team to Wuhan on January 20th , whereupon a medical worker immediately told the organisation that the virus was contagious in humans .
Even then , the WHO @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12th of March .
Throughout this time , China was ordering medical supplies from abroad , and its imports of face masks , surgical gowns and gloves increased sharply , according to the report .
The document concludes that there is a 95 % probability that China ’ s changes in imports and export behavior were not within normal range .
We exposed China ’ s disgusting profiteering from the coronavirus outbreak 4 weeks ago , in a report collating several articles that detailed how the CCP blocked US manufacturers exporting medical equipment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ , and even sold Italy ’ s own donated equipment back to the country at an inflated cost .


summitnews--2020-05-04--Pompeo Says There’s ‘Enormous Evidence’ Coronavirus Leaked From Wuhan Lab

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged Sunday that there is “ enormous evidence ” that the coronavirus originated and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of virology , with more intelligence document leaks further pointing to a Chinese cover up .
Appearing on ABC ’ s “ This Week , ” Pompeo stressed that the US investigation is turning up significant findings that indicate the virus did not originate at a wet market , but stemmed from scientists working with virus samples in the lab .
“ There ’ s enormous evidence that that ’ s where this began .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this was a virus that originated in Wuhan , China .
We took a lot of grief for that from the outset .
But I think the whole world can see now.
” Pompeo stated .
“ Remember , China has a history of infecting the world , and they have a history of running substandard laboratories .
These are not the first times that we ’ ve had a world exposed to viruses as a result of failures in a Chinese lab.
” he continued .
“ And so , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work , they should continue to do that , and verify so that we are certain , I can tell you that there is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.
” Pompeo stressed .
The Secretary squarely blamed China , saying that “ The Chinese Communist Party had the opportunity to prevent all of the calamity that has befallen the world.
” “ This is a classic Communist disinformation effort.
” Pompeo said , noting “ We ’ ve seen the fact that they kicked the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that those who were trying to report on this , medical professionals inside of China , were silenced .
They shut down reporting — all the kind of things that authoritarian regimes do , the way Communist parties operate.
” “ The Australians agree with that .
You hear the Europeans beginning to say the same thing .
I think the whole world is united in understanding that China brought this virus to the world.
” Pompeo said , in a statement that may have been a reference to the leaked ‘ five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the globe that concurs the Chinese instituted a cover up .
“ We ’ re going to hold those responsible accountable , and we ’ ll do so on a timeline that is our own.
” Pompeo urged .
CCP mouthpiece Hu Xijin , editor-in-chief of the state-owned Global Times later responded to Pompeo ’ s comments , challenging the Secretary to present the “ enormous evidence ” that the virus was leaked from a Chinese lab “ to the world.
” “ By demanding to investigate Wuhan lab , they are trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fool the American public , ” Xijin claimed .

summitnews--2020-05-05--GOP: China Has Infiltrated US Higher Education To Impede Coronavirus Research

Senator Tom Cotton slammed the communist Chinese government , describing its actions as “ deliberately malevolent ” when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic .
He also suggested that Chinese students should not be allowed to study sciences within the US until the country has been properly held accountable .
Cotton said that he believes China consciously allowed the virus to spread so that the playing field would be levelled , and other countries would also experience economic disaster .
“ Wherever it originated … we know that the Chinese Communist Party was both criminally negligent and incompetent at first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the way they responded to this virus , for their own people and the world , ” Cotton said during a Fox News interview .
“ As early as the second week of December , it was clear that this virus was spreading from person to person .
By late December , it was spreading to doctors in Wuhan hospitals .
Some doctors were trying to blow the whistle on these facts , and the secret police arrived at their doorsteps in the middle of the night.
” Cotton added .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the WHO on December 31 did the world know what was happening .
Yet , still they continued to deny that it was spreading from person to person into mid-January .
That allowed millions of people to leave Wuhan , ” Cotton continued .
“ And then , finally , China continued to pressure the WHO and other countries not to stop international travel from China .
That meant that hundreds of thousands of persons left China after this virus was spread far outside of Wuhan , which allowed the virus to escape @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States and get to Europe and get to essentially every country in the world.
” the Senator urged .
Cotton noted that China allowed flights to continue in spite of the outbreak “ because they didn ’ t want to see their relative power and standing in the world decline.
” “ They also knew that , once this virus began to spread outside of Wuhan , it would wreak economic havoc throughout China .
And , in fact , China had the first contraction in the first quarter of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 1970s , ” Cotton added .
The Senator charged that China , worried that it would fall behind the rest of the world economically , deliberately allowed the virus to spread .
“ I believe the Chinese communist leaders , when they were aware of those facts by mid-January , made the conscious decision not to explain to the world that it was transmissible between humans , not to shut down travel , not to ask for American or other kind of international scientific help , but to allow this virus to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were going to suffer an economic contraction , they were not going to allow the world to continue to prosper , and China be the only country whose economy was declining.
” Cotton said .
Cotton also urged that it is an injustice that the United States has trained some Chinese nationals to “ go back to China to compete for our jobs , to take our business , and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the American people.
” “ If Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shakespeare and the Federalist Papers , that ’ s what they need to learn from America , ” Cotton said , adding “ They don ’ t need to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence from America .
”

Congressional Republicans are accusing China of attempting to hinder US coronavirus research by infiltrating US universities and spreading communist propaganda.
Reuters reports that ranking GOP members across seven House committees have delivered a letter to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that warns Beijing is indoctrinating American students.
The letter was signed by Congressman Jim Jordan, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight committee, as well as by members on the Homeland Security, Science, Armed Services, Education and Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees.
🚨🚨🚨 NEW: 7 top House committee Republicans announce probe into China's infiltration of U.S. colleges “We cannot allow a dangerous communist regime to buy access to our institutions of higher education, plain and simple” – @Jim_Jordan More➡ https://t.co/GwgpkDFkhn pic.twitter.com/C3JQbJIGyJ — Oversight Committee Republicans (@GOPoversight) May 4, 2020
The letter requests that DeVos provide more information pertaining to the allegations against China, including all documents related to schools that have accepted funds from China, as well as details of any investigations into colleges and education officials who may have accepted “gifts” from the communist state.
“We write to seek a better understanding of the Department’s efforts to address unreported foreign direct investment into the U.S. higher education system,” the letter reads.
“We have been concerned about the potential for the Chinese government to use its strategic investments to turn American college campuses into indoctrination platforms for American students,” the congressmen further write.
“China has strategically invested in U.S. academia to attempt to steal confidential information and technology from U.S. companies, and even the U.S. government,” the lawmakers state in the letter, pointing to a 2018 report from the Hoover Institution identifying upwards of 110 Confucius Institutes operating on American colleges to facilitate China’s espionage and theft of intellectual property.
They add that “Besides China peddling money for influence in U.S. institutions of higher education (IHE), China is restricting any research regarding the origins of COVID-19 that does not comport with CCP propaganda.”
These actions “bring into question whether U.S. [institutes of higher education] receiving federal taxpayer dollars should be allowed to accept funds from China, the CCP, or other affiliated organizations,” the letter concludes.
Commenting on the letter, Rep. Jim Jordan said “We cannot allow a dangerous communist regime to buy access to our institutions of higher education, plain and simple.”
“The Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the early outbreak of the coronavirus immeasurably worsened this disease’s impact on the United States and the world.” Jordan urged, adding that “We owe it to the American people to hold China accountable and to prevent them from doing further harm to our country.”
The suspicions of Chinese infiltration of US higher education pre-dates the coronavirus crisis, with the Department of Education instigating an investigation into several universities last year to determine if they had failed to disclose foreign funding.
In February, the department announced it has uncovered $6.5 billion so far in undisclosed foreign funding from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China and Russia. The investigation has since been expanded to include Harvard and Yale.
The FBI has previously issued warnings regarding China investing in American higher education to steal sensitive information, primarily via access through federal grants.
In January, the Department of Justice also arrested a professor at Harvard, as well as two Chinese nationals for reportedly acting as foreign agents.
Last year President Donald Trump signed the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act which proposed an ultimatum to universities receiving financial assistance from the Pentagon: close the Chinese propaganda center on campus or lose funding. Since that time, at least 49 schools have closed their Confucius Institute, according to Human Rights Watch.

YouTube ’ s Chief Product Officer has insulted his own users as basement-dwellers who deserve to be relegated by the algorithm in favor of “ authoritative ” mainstream sources .
Neil Mohan made the remarks during an interview with Protocol ’ s editor at large David Pierce after he was asked if YouTube had to switch its approach to moderating content given the ever changing advice of health authorities in relation to the coronavirus .
Mohan said that this was the reason YouTube was “ raising up authoritative voices , ” which is a euphemism for suppressing voices that aren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , despite the fact that the public ’ s trust in the media during the coronavirus pandemic has plummeted even further .
He then went on to insult his own user base as basement-dwelling idiots .
“ As opposed to , you know , it ’ s somebody espousing their opinions about a mask , you know , in their basement , ” said Mohan .
“ This is coming from an authoritative channel , a news source , a medical professional , and if that ’ s the case , we think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context that ’ s provided around the question of masks .
And even if that guidance changes , it will be reflected in sort of how an authoritative voice or channel talks about it.
” Mohan then made it clear how non-mainstream channels are algorithmically shadow banned by “ removing or reducing views of the videos where that same level of authority hasn ’ t been established.

Update (1350ET): The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into a “misinformation” tracking group, the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate – which is now being sued by X Corp, formerly Twitter.
According to a letter seen by the Washington Examiner, the Center for Countering Digital Hate is in the crosshairs, as House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has given the nonprofit until August 17, two weeks, to turn over records that could detail the extent of its ties to the Biden White House.
“We know from the Facebook Files that the Center for Countering Digital Hate was working with the White House to censor speech,” said a senior GOP congressional aide. “But how far did it go? Republicans want to find out, and of course subpoenas are on the table if we don’t get answers.”
Jordan’s letter, which was first obtained by the Washington Examiner, is the latest escalation of the GOP’s efforts to investigate how the federal government has, in some cases, coordinated with the private sector to flag certain speech, including speech related to COVID-19, as “disinformation” or “misinformation.” The chairman has recently been publicizing subpoenaed documents from Facebook, now called Meta, showinghow the platform kept in close contact with the Biden administration on content moderation. Further sets of emails produced in connection to that subpoena, which have not been reported on until now and were shared with the Washington Examiner, shed light on Center for Countering Digital Hate’s influence among top Facebook staffers and the highest levels of government. -Washington Examiner
In April 2021, a Facebook employee cited the CCDH’s March 2021 report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” in an email thread dubbed “Vaccine policy,” in which alleged that there “are twelve anti-vaxxers who play leading roles in spreading digital misinformation about COVID vaccines,” with RFK Jr. being one of them.
“We also continue to see pressure from partners and policymakers, including the White House, to remove entities that are seen to be contributing to a large amount of vaccine misinformation content (commonly referred to as the ‘disinformation dozen’ which CCDH asserts are responsible for 73% of vaccine misinformation on Facebook),” the employee’s email continues.
“We continue to monitor these entities on platform, and are reviewing the off platform as well, but do not believe we currently have a clear path for removal of these.”
In his letter to CCDH’s CEO, Imran Ahmed, Jordan writes: “We are interested in understanding the interactions between the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and the federal government in particular, as well as between CCDH and social media companies,” adding “CCDH claims that ‘social media companies erode basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.'”
Earlier Thursday, Jordan dropped a thread of receipts on Facebook’s relationship with the Biden regime and how they censored unfavorable opinions.

Newly subpoenaed internal notes of meetings between Facebook executives and Biden Admin officials reveal more about the lengths the Biden White House wanted to go to control true speech on Facebook.
🧵 Thread: https://t.co/AeXrs1U8wr — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
As we’ve previously noted (via Paul Thacker)
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) sprang out of nowhere in late 2017 or early 2018. At the time, Ahmed was leaving a job as a political advisor to members of the British Labour Party and had just written a book. As we chronicle in our just published book The New Serfdom, the dominance of market fundamentalism has been a disastrous experiment that has ripped up social cohesion and solidarity while the gap between the 1 per cent and the 99 per cent has soared to levels not seen since the beginning of the last century. Home ownership, secure employment and fair wages seem like relics of a bygone era. Meanwhile exploitative workplace practices have created a new serfdom leaving many people trapped in insecure, unfulfilling and underpaid work with no escape route. How this background as a political operative prepared Ahmed to brand himself as an expert in disinformation is unclear. His LinkedIn account makes no mention of his work as a political operative in England, although his biography at CCDH states that he is an “authority on social and psychological malignancies on social media, such as identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.” Ahmed now lives in Washington DC and his organization does not provide a list of funders. In early 2021, CCDH posted a report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” that alleged the majority of COVID vaccine disinformation came from just 12 accounts, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ahmed released the report just as the Biden administration began their COVID vaccine rollout and shortly before the House held hearings on disinformation at social media companies.
Good question. This appears to be foreign government interference.

Update (1253ET): Shortly after publication, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) dropped a Twitter thread full of receipts showing the Biden administration’s collusion with Facebook to suppress conservative speech.
“Since it’s a global pandemic, can we give agencies access to targeting parameters that they normally wouldn’t be able to?” said President Biden’s digital director, Rob Flaherty, according to internal company communications.
Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, repeatedly put pressure on Facebook to explain its content decisions.
“We have to explain to President, Ron, people, why there is misinfo on the internet…” pic.twitter.com/zUZYbKHfA9 — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
Continued…For example, Flaherty questioned whether Facebook was doing enough to reduce traffic from sites like the @nypost. “I’m curious – NY Post churning out articles every day… What is supposed to happen to that from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?”
But that wasn’t enough for the Biden White House. Flaherty wanted Facebook to go a step further. He wanted Facebook to kick people off its site.
The Biden White House’s effort to censor opposing viewpoints only grew. So, they upped the pressure. Flaherty demanded that Facebook “play ball” and work with the Biden White House on censorship. He called it his “dream.”
But that’s not all. The Biden White House wanted to control what you saw on Facebook. They questioned whether Facebook could change its algorithm so users saw more posts from the New York Times and less from the @realDailyWireand @TomiLahren.
Why did they do that? Because they didn’t think you were smart enough to decide for yourself. President Biden’s head of strategic communications and public engagement for the #COVID19 response, Courtney Rowe, mocked Real America’s ability to determine what’s true and what isn’t.
Facebook knew it had to act. One employee tried to explain to the White House that if the company couldn’t “remove” content, it could at least “contain it.”
But Flaherty continued to press for more content moderation and CONTROL on so-called “bad” content.
And of course, Facebook caved. The company ADMITTED to the White House that it reduced content of certain posts – even if the posts didn’t violate the company’s terms and contained TRUE information. Just read this from a Facebook employee.
These newly subpoenaed meeting notes continue to show the Biden White House’s desire to direct and control content on Facebook. More evidence of the censorship-industrial complex. To be continued…

In new memos recently released by Facebook, the social media giant was pressured by the Biden White House into altering its algorithms so that mainstream news sources would be elevated over conservative sites.
As Just The News reports, the documents over to the House Judiciary Committee following a subpoena detail a series of meetings between Facebook executives and White House Digital Director Rob Flaherty in the spring of 2021. The demands from the White House focused on posts related to the Chinese coronavirus and the efficiency of the COVID vaccines.
In one meeting on April 14th, 2021, Flaherty asked Facebook if it was possible to artificially promote outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, instead the Daily Wire and Fox News, particularly commentator Tomi Lahren.
“If you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see NYT, WSJ, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tomi Lahren, polarizing people,” Flaherty asked.
“You wouldn’t have a mechanism to check the material impact?”
“We have to explain to President, Ron [Klain], people, why there is misinfo on the internet, bigger problem than FB,” said Flaherty, according to the typed notes from Facebook executives.
“Where issues are, what interventions are, how well they are working, for products, want to engage in things that you know to be effective. I don’t even care about specific methodology, you have better, richer data than we’ll ever have.”
Tomi Lahren, who boasted a large following on Facebook, had recently announced that she would refuse to get the COVID vaccine. Meanwhile, Daily Wire had filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s mandate for private workplaces to force its employees to take the vaccine. The Supreme Court eventually struck down Biden’s workplace mandate, while upholding his vaccine mandate for facilities that are funded by Medicare and Medicaid.
“What are the things driving hesitancy on your platform? What is it? How big is the problem? When you are intervening, how are you measuring success?” Flaherty repeatedly grilled the Facebook executives in one meeting.
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” said Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, on Twitter.
Constitutional scholars have also raised the alarm over the revelations, with George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley saying that he has “asked Congress to pass a law barring federal employees from engaging in censorship and targeting of citizens.”
“Agencies have a right to speak in their own voices,” Turley added. “Instead, the Biden Administration sought to engage in what I have called ‘censorship through surrogate.’ This is part of that pattern.”
Turley’s take is reiterated by University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds told Just the News on Wednesday that the First Amendment issue is when the “government is asking people to censor speech, their action is attributable to the government, so both they and the government can be sued.”x
“By working with the government, Facebook exposed themselves to liability,” Reynolds said, noting that they do not “share sovereign immunity” with the government and will “probably very much regret it.”

summitnews--2020-05-05--Report: France Will Use Existing Surveillance Grid To Enforce Social Distancing, Mask Wearing

France will use its existing network of surveillance cameras to monitor how many people are wearing masks and track how citizens are complying with social distancing after its coronavirus lockdown is eased next week , according to reports .
The BBC notes that “ The resort city of Cannes on the Côte d ’ Azur has trialled the monitoring software , installed at outdoor markets and on buses.
” Datakalab , the French firm behind the software says its algorithms “ can be incorporated into existing surveillance systems in other public spaces , such as hospitals , stations , airports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the software being installed to work with existing cameras does not violate EU data privacy laws because “ No image is stored or transmitted.
” Cannes Mayor David Lisnard said , “ This technology doesn ’ t identify people but just gives us mathematical analysis to meet people ’ s needs.
” So , essentially , it ’ s ok to track you everywhere you go to ensure you comply , so long as they don ’ t keep your picture on a hard drive .
France already announced that face masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in schools from next week .
The country ’ s lockdown has been more severe than most , with anyone traveling outside their home needing papers approved by the authorities .
Anyone found outside without the relevant documents is subject to a fine of €135 upwards .
The case in France highlights how the framework of surveillance that has already been in place and rapidly expanding for two decades is now being used to enforce the removal of freedoms .
We also recently highlighted how tech companies all over the world are developing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enforcement to more effectively police social distancing rules .
We are so used to surveillance now that for many it doesn ’ t seem that much more of a change to simply give over total compliance and acceptance of a panopticon world .
Coronavirus was just the crisis need to institute permanent societal lockdown using already existing tools , as well as new technologies that can be slotted into those systems already in place .


summitnews--2020-05-05--US Universities Creating Social Credit Style Coronavirus Surveillance System

Three US universities are responding to the coronavirus crisis by creating ( irony of all ironies ) a Chinese style social credit surveillance system that will ‘ score ’ people based on their exposure to the virus .
According to a report from Tech site dot.LA , researchers at the University of Southern California , Emory University , and the University of Texas Health Science Center are jointly working on the system after receiving federal grant funding .
Like the Chinese social credit system , the scheme will consist of a mobile app for contact tracing the virus , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms of individuals to calculate “ personal risk scores ” .
The score would be used to determine the need “ for quarantine and decontamination , ” according to the report , with “ aggregate risk scores ” also assigned to “ locations like your neighborhood grocery store.
” The universities hope to have a working mobile app by August , in time for the start of the fall semester .
Welcome to the new normal .
Surely the fallout of this system will all be positive .
When the coronavirus vaccine eventually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ updated to show who has had it and who hasn ’ t .
High social credit points for those who have taken it , no travel privileges for those who refuse !
The report notes that “ Countries such as South Korea or China have used location-based digitized contact tracing .
However , it has only been successful because citizens are forced to download it , opt into location monitoring , and regularly check in or otherwise be visited by enforcement authorities.
” “ In that setting where there ’ s 100 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shown it can work , in our setting in the United States , I don ’ t see that really happening , ” said Dr. Jeffrey Klausner , a professor of medicine at UCLA .
“ We have enough problems with governors issuing orders and denying free personal movement , that the idea that people are going to be ordered to download apps to monitor their movement is highly unlikely and probably not constitutional.
” Klausner added , conceding that “ It ’ s going to be difficult to get Americans to agree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notes that the social credit scoring could “ become problematic if a school or employer requires students or workers reveal them as a condition of receiving a benefit , entering a building or returning to their office.
” “ When you introduce ‘ scoring ’ that takes other factors into account , it complicates everything , and increases the risk that users will be misinformed or discriminated against due to factors beyond their control , ” noted USC ’ s Cyrus Shahabi , a professor of computer science .
Indeed , the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 13 million citizens as “ untrustworthy , ” state media recently bragged .
And what heinous behaviour led to the distinction ?
Well , jaywalking for one .
According to Chinese media , other violations stretch to the following : – Bad driving .
– Smoking on trains .
– Buying too many video games .
– Buying too much junk food .
– Buying too much alcohol .
– Calling a friend who has a low credit score .
– Having a friend online who has a low credit score .

– Criticizing the government .

summitnews--2020-05-06--Houellebecq: Coronavirus Will Increase Atomisation of Society

A data analyst consortium in South Africa asserts that the economic consequences of the country ’ s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself .
“ The model , which will be made public today for debate , was developed by a consortium calling itself Panda ( Pandemic ~ Data Analysis ) , which includes four actuaries , an economist and a doctor , while the work was checked by lawyers and mathematicians , ” reports the Financial Mail .
“ The process was led by two fellows at the Actuarial Society of SA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ According to the research , the 29 times figure is a “ conservative estimate ” of how many lives will be lost due to the impact of poverty caused by economic hardship over the long term .
The Mail describes how the consortium reached their conclusion .
“ In SA , they estimate that 5.4 years of life have been lost per Covid-19 death .
They then multiply this by the range of deaths which they predict – 20,000 – as well as the actuarial society ’ s prediction of 88,000 fatalities .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have reduced some deaths , but not all .
In the end , their model translated into a minimum of 26,800 “ years of lives lost ” due to Covid-19 , and a maximum of 473,500 years .
( This , critically , shouldn ’ t be confused with the actual number of fatalities expected from Covid-19 . )
” “ The actuaries then used the figures predicted by the National Treasury to model the impact on poverty .
On Friday , the Treasury estimated that between 3-million and 7-million jobs will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combat the virus .
The actuaries then work out that , conservatively , 10 % of South Africans will become poorer , and as a result , will lose a few months of their lives.
” The model shows that the number of years lost due to the economic collapse caused by the lockdown will be between 14 million and 24 million , which means the 29 times figure is on the low end and could be even higher .
The model also showed that based on European data , “ 90 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or older with one or more comorbidity , while the relative risk to the young and healthy is negligible.
” The researchers have sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa demanding an end to the lockdown and calling it a “ humanitarian disaster ” that will “ dwarf Covid-19.
” As we previously highlighted , in the UK , Professor Richard Sullivan warns that there will be more excess cancer deaths than total coronavirus deaths due to cancer victims not getting screenings and treatment due to the focus on COVID-19 .
