Wuhan Scientists Planned to Release “Chimeric COVID Spike Proteins” Into Wild Bats Using “Skin-Penetrating Nanoparticles”Posted: 22 Sep 2021 08:39 AM PDT18 months before the pandemic, scientists in Wuhan, China submitted a proposal to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into the wild in an effort to inoculate them against diseases that could have otherwise jumped to humans, according to The Telegraph, citing leaked grant proposals from 2018.New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.The bid was submitted by zoologist Peter Daszak of US-based EcoHealth Alliance, who was hoping to use genetic engineering to cobble “human-specific cleavage sites” onto bat Covid ‘which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells’ – a method which would coincidentally answer a longstanding question among the scientific community as to how SARS-CoV-2 evolved to become so infectious to humans.Daszak’s proposal also included plans to commingle high-risk natural coronaviruses strains with more infectious, yet less deadly versions. His ‘bat team’ of researchers included Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center.![]() Darpa refused the contract – saying “It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk,” while warning that Daszak hadn’t fully considered the dangers involved in enhancing the virus via gain-of-function research, or by releasing a vaccine into the air.Grant documents show that the team also had some concerns about the vaccine programme and said they would “conduct educational outreach … so that there is a public understanding of what we are doing and why we are doing it, particularly because of the practice of bat-consumption in the region”.Angus Dalgleish, Professor of Oncology at St Georges, University of London, who struggled to get work published showing that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) had been carrying out “gain of function” work for years before the pandemic, said the research may have gone ahead even without the funding.“This is clearly a gain of function, engineering the cleavage site and polishing the new viruses to enhance human cell infectibility in more than one cell line,” he said. –TelegraphAs the Telegraph aptly notes (and you’ll never hear from Maddow, Lemon or Hayes), Daszak is the same guy behind a letter published in The Lancet last year which ruled out the lab leak hypothesis, and temporarily stifled debate on the origins of Covid-19.“For more than a year I tried repeatedly to ask questions of Peter Daszak with no response,” said Viscount Ridley, who has co-authored an upcoming book on the origin of Covid-19, and has repeatedly implored the House of Lords to dig deeper into the origins of the pandemic. “Now it turns out he had authored this vital piece of information about virus work in Wuhan but refused to share it with the world. I am furious. So should the world be,” he added.“Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) proposed injecting deadly chimeric bat coronaviruses collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virology into humanised and ‘batified’ mice, and much, much more.”The documents, released by an international consortium of scientists known as ‘Drastic Research,’ were authenticated by a former Trump administration official. According to the group, “The actual DEFUSE Proposal Documents will be published in due course.”“Given that we find in this proposal a discussion of the planned introduction of human-specific cleavage sites, a review by the wider scientific community of the plausibility of artificial insertion is warranted,” Drastic said in a statement.Enhanced MERS?One anonymous World Health Organization (WHO) scientist told The Telegraph that Daszak’s grant proposal shockingly proposed plans to enhance the more deadly MERS (Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome).“The scary part is they were making infectious chimeric Mers viruses,” said the source, adding “These viruses have a fatality rate over 30 per cent, which is at least an order of magnitude more deadly than Sars-CoV-2.”![]() “If one of their receptor replacements made Mers spread similarly, while maintaining its lethality, this pandemic would be nearly apocalyptic.”Just remember, the initial cover story started with ‘bat soup.’Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post Wuhan Scientists Planned to Release “Chimeric COVID Spike Proteins” Into Wild Bats Using “Skin-Penetrating Nanoparticles” appeared first on We Are Change. |
“10 for the Big Guy”: Politico Confirms Hunter Biden’s China, Ukraine Emails Are LegitPosted: 21 Sep 2021 08:08 PM PDTSeveral emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop have been confirmed as legitimate, according to Politico, citing claims in a new book, along with emails released by a Swedish government agency.Ben Schreckinger’s “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power,” out today, finds evidence that some of the purported HUNTER BIDEN laptop material is genuine, including two emails at the center of last October’s controversy.A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden’s emails confirmed he did receive a 2015 email from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet Joe Biden. The same goes for a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives includes the line, “10 held by H for the big guy?” (This person recalled seeing both emails, but was not in a position to compare the leaked emails word-for-word to the originals.)MORE: Emails released by a Swedish government agency also match emails in the leaked cache, and two people who corresponded with Hunter Biden confirmed emails from the cache were genuine. –PoliticoRecall that news of Hunter Biden’s laptop was broken by the New York Post shortly before the 2020 election – resulting in a multi-week Twitter ban on the outlet, and a baseless claim spread throughout the MSM and by notable Democrats including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) that it was Russian disinformation.Murphy notably received nearly 70,000 ‘likes’ for his tweet calling it “likely Russian propaganda” – claiming he’d “seen the intel.”Joe Biden – and all of us – SHOULD be furious that media outlets are spreading what is very likely Russian propaganda.1/ I’ve seen the intel. The mainstreaming of misinformation is Russia’s 2020 goal. Here’s what we know, and why we can’t take it lying down.— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 17, 2020On CNN, Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff says New York Post Hunter Biden story ‘comes from the Kremlin.’ Anchor seems to agree. Would be more persuasive if they provided evidence that 1) story is false, and 2) it ‘comes from the Kremlin.’ pic.twitter.com/JBILBs3YT3— Byron York (@ByronYork) October 17, 2020More:![]() ![]() NPR – funded by taxpayers – refused to cover the story.It’s time to defund @NPR. This is appalling. #DefundNPR https://t.co/wFbY5lGGTG— Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS (@RepGosar) October 22, 2020This story is very simple – Hunter Biden dropped off three computers with liquid damage at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware on April 12, 2019. The owner, John Mac Issac, examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay and the data on the harddrive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul Mac Issac repaired the hard drive and down loaded the data. During this process he saw some disturbing images and a number of emails that concerned Ukraine, Burisma, China and other issues. With the work completed, Mr. Mac Issac prepared an invoice, sent it to Hunter Biden and notified him that the computer was ready to be retrieved. Hunter did not respond. In the ensuing four months (May, June, July and August), Mr. Mac Issac made repeated efforts to contact Hunter Biden. Biden never answered and never responded. More importantly, Biden stiffed John Paul Mac Issac–i.e., he did not pay the bill.When the manufactured Ukraine crisis surfaced in August 2019, John Paul realized he was sitting on radioactive material that might be relevant to the investigation. After conferring with his father, Mac and John Paul decided that Mac would take the information to the FBI office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mac walked into the Albuquerque FBI office and spoke with an agent who refused to give his name. Mac explained the material he had, but was rebuffed by the FBI. He was told basically, get lost. This was mid-September 2019.Two months passed and then, out of the blue, the FBI contacted John Paul Mac Issac. Two FBI agents from the Wilmington FBI office–Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak–came to John Paul’s business. He offered immediately to give them the hard drive, no strings attached. Agents Williams and Dzielak declined to take the device.The laptop – while allegedly containing inappropriate photographs of underage girls – revealed that President Biden lied when he said that he had no knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings – and was in fact involved with them.In the final months of the heated 2020 presidential race, The Post revealed a trove of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop that raised questions about his then-candidate father’s ties to his son’s foreign business ventures, including Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company linked to corruption.The emails revealed that the younger Biden introduced a top Burisma executive to his father, then vice president, less than a year before the elder Biden admittedly pressured Ukrainian officials into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, a Burisma board adviser, sent Hunter on April 17, 2015. –New York PostThe laptop, which was protected by the password “Hunter02” according to the Daily Mail, was considered a national security nightmare.And according to Rudy Giuliani, there were disturbing, underage photographs of young girls found on Hunter’s laptop which were turned over to police in New Castle County, Delaware. The laptop also contained videos of Hunter smoking crack and engaging in sex acts with an unidentified woman.Unpacking this monumental election meddling is journalist Glenn Greenwald:I have a copy of Schreckinger’s important book and will write about it shortly. 2 points:1) Kudos to him, as a young journalist, for reporting facts most in the corporate media don’t want to hear.2) Big Tech/Dem censorship of this story before the election was a grave assault— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 21, 2021One last reminder: @TheIntercept — founded in 2014, before the current editors arrived, to be *adversarial* to CIA/security state — used an ex-NYT reporter to mindlessly endorse the CIA lie that the Hunter docs were “Russian disinformation” out of desperation to help Biden win. pic.twitter.com/sDJuuOiMjW— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 21, 2021It’s so easy to recognize and denounce the censorship, repression and propaganda in distant countries we’re taught from childhood to hate (Russia). It’s more more difficult — and more important — to recognize it in our own. Pre-election censorship of this story was a disgrace.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 21, 2021Amazingly, Facebook and @andymstone — having interfered in our elections by suppressing a story that the CIA, the Intercept and other media outlets lied about by claiming it was Russia disinformation — now refuses to answer questions about the outcome of that “fact-check.” ? pic.twitter.com/9Zl6s1qJiv— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 21, 2021One interesting aspect of the fact that it’s a POLITICO reporter with a new book confirming the authenticity of the Hunter docs:It was POLITICO — through the co-Queen of Russiagate frauds, @NatashaBertrand — who first used CIA to dismiss the docs as “Russian disinformation.” pic.twitter.com/eL17sAayHJ— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 21, 20212) CNN’s @camanpour — the week before the election — explicitly refusing to discuss the reporting on the Biden family by claiming that it’s not the media’s job to determine if the documents are or are not authentic.
