CIA Director Ratcliffe Releases Suppressed CIA Report: Yes, Covid Was Created in the Wuhan Lab

They knew, and they lied. Biden knew, and he suppressed the report.

The media knew, and they lied.

They all knew. They all lied.

Please believe the next lies they have upcoming!

It took five years, but the Central Intelligence Agency has finally come around to thinking the likeliest source of the Covid-19 virus was a lab in Wuhan, China. That was the news this weekend after new CIA director John Ratcliffe released an agency assessment that the Biden Administration had declined to make public.

"I had the opportunity on my first day to make public an assessment that actually took place in the Biden Administration. So it can't be accused of being political," Mr. Ratcliffe told Fox News. He said the CIA "has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was because of a lab-related incident in Wuhan. And so we will continue to investigate that moving forward.''

The agency has "low confidence" in its judgment, but that's still a switch from its previous belief that Covid likely had natural causes. The Wuhan Institute of Virology origin was always the Occam's razor explanation given that the virus first appeared in, well, Wuhan.

Regime comms like NBC are really pushing the "low confidence" of this finding, instead of the seismic revelation that Biden and the CIA (and NBC) have lied to us for five horrible years.

CIA shifts assessment on Covid origins, saying lab leak likely caused outbreak The agency said that it has "low confidence" in its judgment and that it would continue evaluating new intelligence reporting.

It was all a lie, and the CIA -- supposedly created to inform America about foreign threats -- lied to cover up China's complicity as well as the ultimate guilt of high-ranking US officials like Dr. Anthony Fauchenstein.

For years, scientists, government officials, and journalists called the idea that Covid-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China a "conspiracy theory." The lab leak hypothesis, they claimed, was "xenophobic," "racist," "destructive," "prejudiced," and "thoroughly debunked." When Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said in January 2020, "We still don't know where the coronavirus originated," the media swooped in to characterize his statements as "fringe." Cotton was "playing a dangerous game," said CNN. He was acting "Just like the Soviet propagandists who tried to convince the world that the CIA invented AIDS," tweeted Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum.

But now the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has concluded that Covid-19 most likely emerged from a lab leak in Wuhan, an agency spokesman said in a statement on Saturday.

While many Americans have long thought that the Covid virus escaped from a lab, the CIA's new assessment is significant since it confirms that it illegally withheld crucial information from the public. This admission should fuel demands for greater government transparency on a range of other issues, including the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop, and files on the deaths of JFK, RFK, and Jeffrey Epstein.

The CIA's assessment was based on analysts' review of existing information, not new information, sources told NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.

Former director William Burns directed the agency to take a position, reported the Wall Street Journal, and the analysis was published internally before Trump took office. By keeping this judgment classified, the CIA and the Biden administration violated the Covid-19 Origin Act of 2023, which mandated the declassification of all information related to potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and Covid origins.

The CIA's newly released judgment lends further credence to our reporting on the cover-up of Covid origins. As most mainstream news outlets ignored or denied the evidence for a lab leak, Public and Racket were the first to report that, according to US government sources, the Covid patients zero worked at WIV and conducted gain-of-function experiments on SARS-like coronaviruses there.

A months-long investigation by Public and Racket last year revealed that Dr. Anthony Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), visited CIA headquarters to influence its review of Covid origins. What's more, Public and Racket were first to obtain hundreds of Slack messages and emails from the authors of the highly influential "Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" paper. The authors, who dismissed the lab leak theory in their paper, initially believed the virus had escaped from WIV. They abandoned the lab leak theory, our reporting found, under pressure from "higher ups."

This is not the end of the controversy. Fauci claimed that when he heard about a new pneumonia in China, his mind went to the wet market. His email records, however, suggest that the opposite was true. In late January 2020, he and other scientists scrambled to address what they believed was a likely lab origin.

According to a whistleblower, Fauci influenced the CIA to alter its conclusions. Six out of seven CIA analysts had determined that a lab leak was most likely. But after the intervention of senior agency personnel, the CIA changed its assessment to "unknown." After this, the whistleblower said, the agency gave the analysts "Exceptional Performance Awards," which came with cash bonuses.

The CIA whistleblower claims that Fauci pushed the controversial "Proximal Origin" paper, which he had "prompted" and approved, at the CIA, as well as in meetings at the State Department and White House. This was particularly troubling given Fauci's conflicts of interest. He knew of ties between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and WIV by January 27, 2020, and he was aware that NIAID had funded research at the Wuhan lab through the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance.

Fauci was likely not the only factor behind the CIA's cover-up. Sources told Public and Racket that the CIA may have been "conflicted" in its assessment of Covid origins because it did not want to compromise investigations into the Wuhan lab that predated Covid. This could explain why the FBI and the Department of Energy were willing to publicly conclude that a lab leak was likely, while the CIA manipulated, denied, and hid its own assessment.

Every real reporter should be demanding to know why the CIA suppressed this report and whether it was Biden (or one of his "aides" actually running the country) who ordered this suppression.

But of course it will just be the same three people.
