Leo Hohmann: Hearings on origin of Covid are riveting but what are they distracting our attention away from?

Hearings on origin of CV are riveting but what are they distracting our attention away from?

 Leo Hohmann

There are congressional hearings and then there are congressional hearings.

Some of the testimony has been quite riveting this week regarding the origins of Covid, particularly the parts from Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC director, who seems like an honorable man who wanted to do the right thing but was prevented from doing it by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the rest of the deep-state apparatus.

Still, we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that this is being broadcast out three years after the fact, and the timing is suspect. 

It comes just as the entity in Washington that claims to be our government is trying to pivot away from six decades of treating the CCP-control Chinese government as a friend and ally — literally building them up and transferring all of our most vital technology to them — to now suddenly making them an enemy of America.

So while much of what we’re seeing is theater — no Americans will be held accountable for the crimes against humanity they committed by working with the Chinese communists to develop a bioweapon to be used against the American people — the real news this week is being ignored.

Here’s the real timely news: The entire world is mobilizing for a world war. Yes, it appears we really will go back down that road just 78 years after the last world war ended.

Here is some of what’s going on.

• North Korea is returning to its threatening ways, planning to blast off a nuclear test and warning that if it gets shot down they will consider that a “declaration of war.” Biden is dispatching additional troops to one of the world’s most volatile hotspots, South Korea. Keep in mind that North Korea is not in control of its own affairs and operates as a satellite nation of China.
• China is opening more than 100 war mobilization centers. They’ve also unveiled a new app for its civilians to notify them of where they can go to take shelter when the bombs and missiles start flying. The Chinese have also cut underwater cables connecting Taiwan’s telecommunications. They are blaming it on a fisherman’s boat accident — yeah, right.
• Russians were warned Thursday to take anti-radiation pills and rush to their nearest nuclear bomb shelters after hackers compromised state television servers to broadcast chilling messages.

• Belarus, a Russian ally in Eastern Europe, is also mobilizing for war.
• It looks like a U.S.-instigated color revolution may be playing out in the nation of Georgia, and if successful this could be used to open up a new front in NATO’s Eastern European war against Russia. You can see from the map below Georgia has a long border with Russia.

• Bakhmut is ready to collapse, giving the Russians the first big victory they’ve been looking for in Ukraine. The Russians also launched missile attacks on other cities last night, including the capital of Kiev, which is the major escalation a lot of us have been expecting in the face of weeks of escalations from NATO. Russia says the 81 missile strikes targeted infrastructure, but Ukraine says they killed six people.

• On March 7, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warned that Beijing and Washington are headed for “conflict and confrontation” if the U.S. doesn’t change course, according to an Associated Press report.

  
  

  • Here in the U.S., the Special Operation Command, SOCOM, announced it is planning to use deepfakes online for propaganda purposes. This is very dangerous. Think how easily it could be to instigate a wave of Islamic violence, simply by releasing a deepfake video of a prominent conservative saying something the Muslims consider blasphemous. Whether deepfake is used to radicalize Antifa or the Muslims, think of what a handy tool it could be for the U.S. government to exterminate its political opponents, which include pro-lifers, pro-Second Amendment folks, those concerned about election integrity, etc.

  
  

  • Train derailments continue to pile up not only in the United States (we had two more yesterday, one in West Virginia and another in Oklahoma), but now also in Russia, where Putin’s government is blaming it on sabotage.

  
  

  • Australia’s government has ordered five new nuclear-capable submarines from U.S. defense contractors.

  
  

  So while all this war preparation is going on around the world, American conservatives are being misdirected to watch 3-year-old news about Covid.

  
  

  A new Rasmussen poll conducted before the latest admissions by the U.S. government about the origins of Covid, found that two thirds of Americans, 67 percent, believed Covid originated in a lab in Wuhan, China.

  
  

  They were not surprised that a leaked Department of Energy report also came to the same conclusion.

Dr. Redfield was on the stand testifying this week before the House Oversight Committee. Redfield testified that he was never comfortable with the theory that Covid was a product of a random mutation in nature. His scientific background as a virologist told him to be skeptical of that pronouncement, but the pushback he encountered from Dr. Fauci when he offered his opinion and wanted to get more facts was both sharp and quick.

Take a listen to the video clip below where Redfield addresses this issue.

Further on in his testimony Dr. Redfield also called for a moratorium on all gain of function research, saying it was exactly this type of research, funded by the U.S. government, that “probably caused the greatest pandemic in history.”

He also said that his experience tells him these decisions should not be made by scientists alone.

Redfield explained how all of the most influential virologists in America were pressured to go against their own better instincts and sign on to a “single narrative” about Covid’s origins — a narrative put forth fraudulently and coercively by Fauci.

Also, did you catch that last part in the above video about DARPA, which is the research arm of the U.S. military? The Wuhan lab asked for funding in 2018 from DARPA to create a coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. This is what makes the virus extremely contagious. We don’t know if DARPA did in fact fund any of the experiments going on at Wuhan, but we do know that, starting in 2014, the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by Fauci, funded the New York-based research nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance with annual grants through 2020 for “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”

According to the New York Post:

“Total funding was $3,748,715. More than $600,000 of that went to the Wuhan lab. Three other Chinese institutions received funding as well. The principal investigator was EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak, who, from the onset of the pandemic, has consistently campaigned in public and behind the scenes to convince people that SARS-CoV-2 did not come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology but evolved naturally from animal-to-human transmission.”

So Fauci has both lied to Congress by saying his agency did not fund the Wuhan lab, which is a felony, and he also is guilty of purposely distorting the facts to suit his own agenda and deceive Americans about a mystery virus in 2020 and 2021.
