“Batshit crazy”

Ahhh what a great and clever line

Alex if it weren’t for you demonstrating that other humans still could think critically- I might have gone batshit crazy myself.

Absolutely love that you are still fighting the good fight.

Yes 100% perfect! So funny. I wonder how long he’s been sitting on it 😄

As far back as last summer, the Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee revealed that they had uncovered strong evidence suggesting Peter Daszak was the public face of a CCP disinformation campaign designed to suppress public discussion about a potential lab leak.

“It’s incredibly concerning that Peter Daszak, an American scientist who has taken millions of dollars from the U.S. government, took directions from the CCP to persuade the American people a lab leak was nothing more than a ‘conspiracy theory."

It’s one thing for Daszak to have helped engineer a scandal of this magnitude, but it’s another thing entirely to say that he worked directly with the Chinese Communist Party in doing so. The guy is a massive scumbag, and the fact that his EcoHealth Alliance is still being funded is absolutely insane.

I can hear the Columbian don in Scarface saying, “Don’t fuck me, Tony”.

I’m agreeing with most of the comments and Berenson, but I want to add a slightly different angle. What if they are doing this to make Daszak the fall guy for all of this, so that Collins, Fauci and gang can get away with all of it???

These people are not stupid. Collins is much smarter than Fauci and they need a fall guy(s) for all of this. Hardly anyone knows who Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric are. They would be the perfect fall guys for all of this.

Thinking outside the box. I like it.

But they could just be mocking us.

They are mocking us already. But they know that their jig is up on COVID and the old guard of Collins are Fauci are finished, which is why they are racing to get things done.

Lol….my 48 yr old son & I were discussing monkey pox and when I said it’s more prevalent in the male/gay population, he called me a conspiracy theorist…so I told him to check out cdc’s suggestion on safe sex w/monkey pox. Hmmmm…mom’s not as bat sh.t crazy as he thought. He’s also vaxxed, boosted & has had covid. I’ve only had covid 🙃

I have a 39 year old daughter that thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist too. I gave up telling her to do her own research, she doesn't listen.

I would opine it's exactly the opposite of this. Daszak is the Bobulinski of evading the moratorium on GoF research, only Fauci and team are smart enough, and corrupt enough, to make sure he stays in the money so he never has a reason to expose exactly what went on. This isn't the identifying a fall guy - this is them making good on the commitment they made to Daszak if he kept his mouth shut. I promise he has all the receipts on them specifically and directly breaking the law to fund GoF, but as long as he continues receiving direct funding (and massive incentives on the back-end) he'll stay quiet.

Ironically Bobulinski might have taught all of us that no one actually cares about breaking laws as long as the NYT's tells them not too, but perhaps when you've made tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars selling a "cure" (that isn't a cure) to a disease your research created you're a little more worried about it going public than Hunter Biden ever was...

They’re all in on it. Collins especially so. His panic stricken emails about crushing the lab leak theory and any and all dissent. Destroying the reputations of researchers who have the unmitigated gall to follow scientific methods to disprove vs prove hypotheses. These crimes need a Nuremberg style tribunal to start pulling the string to see where it leads and shine a bright light to make the cockroaches scatter and follow them to see where they lead us. All roads lead to Beijing, imho.

Interesting point but I actually think that these guys have consumed so much of their own kool-aid that they think they are on the righteous side of this.

As long as people keep voting the government the power to 'solve' all the country's problems, we'll keep getting is good and hard from the psychopaths drawn to that power.

The beatings will continue until morale improves. Or until the oppressors are removed from power. The real risk is half the population seems to like it. As long as they keep voting for batshit crazy, we'll continue ue to deteriorate. Maybe crazy is the new normal, and sanity is crazy.

Yes the masked woke population of at least 50 % seem to like it .

As we all know, this % split is not going to change .

So carve up the USA into two blocks, based on ideology .

Not easy , but doable and so worthwhile.

Let the chips fall where they may .

The damage has been done ; it’s not reversible.

This commentor sees no other solution.

Hold it! Today I had a long chat with someone who previously tried to remain neutral in conversation but couldn't help himself slamming Trump and much of the conservative viewpoint. Today he actually said that Trump had done a lot of good and that he made a big mistake in not voting for him in the last election. This was someone who could not imagine a single possible acceptable thing about Trump, a diehard Trump-hater, and here he was totally docile to every single thing I had to say about everything. And I said everything. And he even led the way with Putin and the Ukraine propaganda stuff. If he could shift this much...

Divide and conquer. As Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”. The enemies of America seek to divide our society along every possible fracture point as well as work to create new ones, like the mask and the jab. Race, age, economic status, gender (apparently 2 wasn’t enough). All while destroying the the customs and traditions that bind us. They’re taking our heroes from us. Jefferson’s statue removed from City Halls. Replacing our founding principles such as Opportunity with Equity.

I’m heartened to see Europe moving away from the globalist road to totalitarianism. Let’s hope they choose wisely, like Italy and not like Belarus or Turkey.

The even split is shifting, according to polls, which are seldom reliable.

Irreconcilable differences always lead to war. We need to learn to change minds, or learn to fight.

WHO? Who did it? The NIH is an organization. What person, or people, did this? What are their names. These people are hiding behind the facelessness of bureaucracy.

Expand full comment

Cheryl, grants from the NIH go through a thorough review process, usually with outside scientists reviewing the grant proposal. The individuals involved in this particular review should be identifiable fairly easily. I would ask for an accounting of their reasoning BEFORE condemnation.

Expand full comment

I would welcome it! But no one came forward before, and it seems to be the norm that the 'NIH" but never any actual person makes a decision.

Expand full comment

Yeah, outside scientists who are also funded by Fauci, and who know full well what the job of "review" entails. Gee Mr. government-funded 'scientist,' we just need your stamp of approval on this here grant for your esteemed colleague, and oh by the way, we wouldn't want someone combing over YOUR next grant application too closely now, would we?

Expand full comment

You are wrong. In the NIH, the reviews are quite rigorous. What this exposes, I believe, is that there are scientists who really believe as members of the trustworthy elite, they and their decisions can be trusted. Thus, this is a bigger problem: elite scientists are not convinced that even worse viruses could somehow escape, no matter by what means, accidental or intentional.

Perhaps the $3.3 million is hush money to reward Daszak to stay quiet. Fauci is just covering all his bases with our money.
