'Wuhan, Fauci, and the Smoking Gun’ — ‘The Coverup’ episode 4 drops TODAY



Matt Kibbe’s docuseries “The Coverup” is a deep dive into the egregious fraud and lies of the COVID-19 pandemic to expose the truth U.S. citizens may never hear from their own government.

In episode one, Kibbe partnered with Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who, after publishing his research and sharing his professional opinions during the pandemic, was silenced and threatened because these contradicted the government’s narrative.

In episode two, he met with Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the only man in the U.S. Senate who never let the insanity of gain-of-function research or the atrocities committed by Anthony Fauci and obstructive agencies, like the DOD and the NIH, conveniently slip from memory.

In episode three, Kibbe teamed up with Scott Atlas, one of Trump’s coronavirus taskforce advisers, to expose what was going on behind the scenes in Washington while the rest of us were quarantined.

Episodes one, two, and three are all available on YouTube.

The latest installment of “The Coverup” drops today on BlazeTV. In this fourth episode, Kibbe speaks with Dr. Richard Ebright, a prominent molecular biologist who was one of the first proponents of the lab-leak theory. Ebright explains how people like Dick Cheney used the 2001 anthrax attacks to install Anthony Fauci in power and exposes how Fauci’s research into other viruses, like the bird flu, mirror the events of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Join Matt Kibbe as he reveals the smoking gun that reveals why Anthony Fauci had to be pardoned from 2014 onward.

Coalition of state AGs seek to bypass Biden pardon and hold Fauci accountable



Just hours before leaving office, former President Joe Biden issued a pardon for Anthony Fauci, giving the fifth director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases a pass for possible federal crimes going back to Jan. 1, 2014 — around the time the Obama administration supposedly halted funding for dangerous gain-of-function research.

While Biden's stated intention was to spare the 84-year-old immunologist from "being investigated or prosecuted," the geriatric Democrat could not ultimately spare Fauci from being held accountable for possible violations of state laws.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and 16 other state attorneys general have launched an investigation into Fauci's role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, "demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate."

After referencing damning findings by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic concerning Fauci, the attorneys general urged House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) in a letter Wednesday to "consider using all available tools" at Congress' disposal to "ensure that former President Biden's shameful pardon does not frustrate accountability."

The state attorneys general evidently have one particular "tool" in mind.

Underscoring that Biden's pardon does not "preclude state-level investigations or legal proceedings," they noted that members of Congress can refer pertinent findings to state officials who "possess the authority to address violations of state law or breaches of public trust."

'We are fully prepared to take appropriate action to ensure justice is served.'

"You are uniquely positioned to assist us by providing us with information that could outline potential courses of action under state law, should they exist," said the letter. "If possible, please furnish us with the necessary details so that we may make informed decisions aimed at holding malign actors accountable."

The congressional report cited in the letter found that:

  • Fauci got the ball rolling on the controversial paper "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" with the apparent aim of discrediting the lab leak theory, which is now widely regarded as the most likely explanation. Fauci may have wanted to push the zoonotic origin theory, not only to avoid blaming China for the pandemic but because his fingerprints were all over the alternative origin. After all, EcoHealth Alliance, whose subcontractor Ben Hu — the Wuhan Institute of Virology's lead on gain-of-function research on coronaviruses — was among the pandemic's suspected patients zero, used NIAID funding to collaborate with the Wuhan lab.
  • Fauci "played semantics with the definition of gain-of-function research" in an apparent effort to deceive federal lawmakers while testifying under oath. The report indicated that whereas Fauci stated on multiple occasions that the National Institutes of Health and NIAID had not funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, his "testimony was, at a minimum, misleading" as such research had been funded through EcoHealth Alliance.
  • The NIAID under Fauci "fostered an environment that promoted evading the Freedom of Information Act."
  • The NIAID failed to adequately oversee EcoHealth Alliance, with Fauci admitting that he signed off on grants without reviewing them.

The state attorneys general noted further that it is clear that Fauci also "led a deliberate campaign to stifle the voices of premier health scholars regarding the lack of adequate testing of vaccines" and engaged in a propaganda campaign that "contributed to serious vaccine injuries — and in some cases, death."

Federal lawmakers may soon get their hands on evidence of other possible causes for state action.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced on Jan. 27 that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee subpoenaed 14 agencies in connection with the origins of COVID-19 and taxpayer-funded gain-of-function research.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) revealed the following day that he had "issued his first subpoena as chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to the Department of Health and Human Services for records relating to COVID-19 vaccine safety data and communications about the COVID-19 pandemic, including a subset of Dr. Anthony Fauci's emails."

"President Biden's blanket pardon of Dr. Fauci is a shameful attempt to prevent accountability," Wilson said in a statement. "If any of these findings indicate violations of state laws, we are fully prepared to take appropriate action to ensure justice is served."

Laugh riot: David Spade recalls how Biden, Fauci impressions sparked online outrage



You'd think veteran funnyman David Spade would know his way around a joke by now.

It turns out that he never learned one of the fundamental rules of comedy: Some topics you simply don't laugh at.

Joe Biden and COVID vaccines, to name just two.

'Is this really controversial to make fun of? You're supposed to make fun of everybody.'

In a recent appearance on comics Sam Morril and Mark Normand's "We MIght Be Drunk" podcast, the former "Saturday Night Live" mainstay recalled the torrent of online hate that came his way when he dared poke fun at liberal sacred cows.

It all started on Spade's podcast, "Fly on the Wall," which he does with fellow SNL vet Dana Carvey.

"I mentioned something about the border. ... It was something about COVID, of course," recalled Spade. "And I said I knew it was kind of a scam because if they're letting everyone in the border, and if they don't give them a shot, then what am I worried about? Like, if it was so scary, legal/illegal, you have to get a shot if you're coming in. Right? And if they're not, I can't go to work?!"

To Spade's surprise, what he thought was a relatively benign observation got more than 6 million views — and no shortage of vitriolic comments.

Spade noted that co-host Carvey's Biden impression — which he debuted on the podcast — also proved controversial.

"We were joking that they never do Biden on the show. And [Carvey] goes, 'I think I kinda got a hook on Biden.'"

The 60-year-old said Carvey's Biden imitation caused a lot of backlash; by contrast, "no one [said] anything" when they made fun of President Donald Trump.

Accoring to Spade, Carvey's impression of Dr. Anthony Fauci caused an even bigger uproar.

"People flipped out," recalled Spade. "Is this really controversial to make fun of? You're supposed to make fun of everybody."

Spade told Normand and Morril that some audiences are so used to hearing everything from the same perspective that they instinctively get offended when "their side" is the target of a joke.

Still, Spade said he's not about to start worrying if his act makes people uncomfortable. "I think we're supposed to talk about everything."

Biden issues last-minute pardons for Fauci, Gen. Milley, J6 committee and cops



Outgoing President Joe Biden has issued a flurry of last-minute pardons for individuals who ran afoul of incoming President Donald Trump.

On Monday, just hours before leaving the Oval Office, Biden issued pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the House committee who allegedly investigated January 6 as well as some Capitol and D.C. Metro police officers who testified before the committee. According to the AP, Biden worried that Trump might seek "revenge" on these individuals.

'Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.'

"The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in wrongdoing," Biden said in a statement, "nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

"Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country."

Though a member of federal health institutions for decades, Fauci became a household name in 2020, when he issued guidance about masking, social distancing, and lockdowns during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, he soon became the avatar for the controversial vaccines and onerous government overreach.

Fauci retired from the National Institutes of Health in early 2023.

Trump has previously accused Milley of committing "treason" after the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made "secret" calls to his counterpart in China in January 2021, just as Trump was about to leave office after his first term. Milley later defended the calls as part of his official responsibilities.

In the years that followed, Milley, who also retired in 2023, hinted that Trump was a "wannabe dictator" who "might spark war," according to reports. He also reportedly expressed concerns in the lead-up to the 2024 election that Trump might target him for a possible court martial, should he be re-elected.

This is a breaking story. Check back with Blaze News for further updates.

Francis Collins’ Latest Book Doubles Down On His Massive Abuses Of Power

Collins frets about the politicization of science, but largely conflates science with his own political agenda.

Retired Fauci drains taxpayer funds with lavish security detail: Report



Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, received $15 million in taxpayer money to cover the cost of his private security detail after stepping away from his government position and returning to private citizenship, according to documents obtained by independent journalist Jordan Schachtel and Open the Books.

The funds covered the cost of his 24/7 chauffeur, U.S. Marshals security detail, and their law enforcement equipment from January 2023 to September 2024, as stated in a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, Open the Books reported.

'I get so many threats.'

The document revealed that the contract was eligible for extension; it is unclear whether it has already been extended. The protection costs were distributed through HHS' fund, according to the nonprofit organization.

The reported millions do not include costs associated with his personal security detail from April 2020 to December 2022, while he was still a government employee. Fauci retired in December 2022.

Fauci's critics have slammed him for pushing draconian government restrictions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. He was the highest-paid federal employee from 2019 to 2022, retiring with a record-breaking $480,654 annual salary. According to Open the Books, his pension is estimated at approximately $355,000 per year. Over his five and a half decades of government service, Fauci amassed a personal fortune of $11 million.

Last year, Fauci claimed that the costs to cover his security detail were necessary, citing alleged threats from the "extreme, radical right."

"I get so many threats. Some of them are credible threats of violence against me and my family that I have to be walking around with federal marshals protecting me, which is completely crazy," he told Newshub.

He concluded the interview by issuing a warning about the dangers of what he referred to as "disinformation."

"I don't want to make it seem so melodramatic, but it seems to erode the foundations of democracy because if you can't believe the truth," Fauci said. "If you look back historically on how governments have failed, and tyrannies ever have risen, it's when people essentially take control over information, a lot of which is untrue. That's a very scary situation."

Open the Books reported that after his retirement, Fauci remained on the NIAID's staff list, apparently in a no-show job to ensure he continued to receive his taxpayer-funded security detail.

Schachtel called the arrangement "unprecedented" and "clandestine." He noted that he "could find no other cases of a former federal employee receiving this level of protection."

The U.S. Marshals Service, a subagency of the Department of Justice, confirmed to the Daily Caller it "provided a protective detail for Dr. Anthony S. Fauci from January 2023 to August 2024," one month short of Schachtel's reporting.

HHS did not respond to the Daily Caller's request for comment.

The reports about Fauci's extensive security detail come after news that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was repeatedly denied Secret Service protection, and at least nine of President-elect Donald Trump's requests for increased Secret Service protection were reportedly turned down.

Meet one of the only senators STILL demanding COVID-19 answers



Mask mandates, coercion to vaccinate, lockdowns, and unconstitutional censorship top the long list of atrocities inflicted upon the American people in the name of protection against COVID-19. And yet our government would love nothing more than to turn a blind eye to the economic and social suicide that was a direct result of its failed policies. The government would rather move on from the highly contentious subject of gain-of-function research, championed by Anthony Fauci, who also touted social distancing, vaccines, and boosters and lied repeatedly to American citizens.

However, there’s one individual who has remained relentless in his pursuit of answers to questions that remain mysteries and for justice to be brought against Fauci — Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who was censored by the notorious three-letter agencies for demanding that Fauci answer for his crimes.

Why are these agencies protecting Fauci? And what are they hiding?

This is the subject of Episode 2 of the latest Blaze Originals docuseries “The Coverup,” starring Matt Kibbe.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

Today, Kibbe joins Glenn Beck on the show to outline the shocking revelations brought forth in the second episode — “Legislator: How Rand Paul Exposed Dr. Fauci's Lies.”

- YouTube www.youtube.com

Kibbe explains that as Sen. Paul dug deeper, he discovered that “Fauci [was] not acting alone, and the reason that he and his partners — particularly his consigliere, David Morens — are so untouchable is that their bosses are throughout the alphabet agencies that make up the defense and intelligence community.”

“That’s what we're trying to get at in this episode — who is Fauci’s boss? Is he a made man? Is he untouchable? Why after we've caught him red-handed lying about using taxpayer money to fund gain-of-function research is nothing happening?” he tells Glenn, who points out that above all, Fauci “may be directly responsible for the death of everyone on the planet from COVID.”

But as Kibbe notes, the government is anxious to put the entire subject of COVID-19 in the past — “Right now Rand is fighting a fairly lonely fight. He's finally gotten the Democratic committee chairman to allow hearings on this subject, but most people, and certainly the political class, are like, ‘let's just move on. That was so long ago.”’

“They want to talk about something else because they all have blood on their hands — literally,” he says.

WHO is protecting Fauci? BlazeTV docuseries seeks answers to the questions we’re STILL asking about COVID



Episode 2 of “The Coverup” – Blaze Media’s new investigative series that exposes the lies of the pandemic industrial complex – dropped last week on BlazeTV.

The face of the series, Matt Kibbe, recently met with Bryce Nickels, genetics professor at Rutgers University, on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces, to reflect on some of the things laid out in episode 1 as well as discuss all the disturbing findings the series explores in episode 2.

Episode 1 centered around Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University, one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration and the most censored doctor during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Titled “Dissident,” the first episode was inspired partly by Pearl Jam’s 1993 song “Dissident” but mostly by “Jay's willingness to swim against the grain very early on,” says Kibbe, who admires the doctor’s perseverance despite the “hysterical attempts to stifle” him and others like him who were brave enough to speak the truth even though it landed them in hot water.

- YouTube www.youtube.com

Kibbe also notes that in episode 1, viewers benefit from Bhattacharya’s unique ability to “[translate] very complex ideas into something that's consumable to a lay audience.”

In episode 2 – “Legislator: How Rand Paul Exposed Dr. Fauci's Lies” – which explores how deep the roots of the pandemic industrial complex go, Kibbe and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the only senator who is still relentlessly pursuing the truth about COVID, ask the following questions:

  • Is Fauci a made man?
  • Who is protecting him?
  • Will he ever suffer any consequences?
  • Why is the government funding dangerous gain-of-function research?

“What we're seeing when it comes to the COVID cover-up is a bunch of interested parties whose financing and careers and reputations, and really their lifeblood, is based on the continuance of this sort of biosecurity, gain-of-function research paradigm,” Kibbe tells Nickels.

The truth is, Fauci “may be personally responsible for the deaths of millions of people through this gain-of-function research that he has so full-throatedly defended throughout his entire career.”

That, among other COVID mysteries, is precisely what Kibbe intends to figure out in “The Coverup.”

Former NIH Chief Of Staff Denies Lab Leak Theory Censorship Despite Overwhelming Proof

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-11-at-3.25.01 PM-1200x651.png crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-11-at-3.25.01%5Cu202fPM-1200x651.png%22%7D" expand=1]Despite Wolinetz's denial, several instances indicate censorship did, in fact, occur.

This doctor warned about Fauci 20 years ago. Will we listen before it’s too late?



Blaze News managing editor Leon Wolf, who’s usually behind the scenes, found himself on “The Glenn Beck Program” this morning.

This rare occurrence is due to an even rarer occurrence when Dr. Richard Ebright — a molecular biologist who’s long avoided the public eye, preferring to speak mostly in esoteric circles — agreed to an interview with Wolf.

His conversation with Dr. Ebright is laid out in detail in his latest article “Lab wars: Inside one Democrat's 20-year crusade to save the world from Anthony Fauci — Part 1: 2001-2014.” Wolf appeared on Glenn’s program to talk about this article.

This Doctor Warned About Fauci 20 Years Ago. Will We Listen Before It’s Too Late?youtu.be

“There's been a lot of discussion about gain-of-function research, and I wanted to get an understanding,” says Wolf.

For those unfamiliar with the term, gain-of-function research is the practice of tampering with organisms (i.e. viruses) to alter their biological function (i.e. increase virulence, transmissibility, etc.).

The deeper Wolf dove into the research — including reports dating all the way back to 2001 — “there was one name that continued to pop up over and over and over again.”

“His name is Dr. Richard Ebright,” and it turns out he’s been warning people about Anthony Fauci “for two decades.”

After 9/11, as the fear of bioweapons mounted, Anthony Fauci began touting gain-of-function research, claiming that it would make us safer. Dr. Ebright, however, claimed the opposite — that it would be our demise.

“Ebright’s position, which I think has been vindicated, is that the more biological agents that you put in the hands of researchers, the more dangerous — and not less dangerous — it would make it because historically (and this is true), most biological attacks have not been carried out by terrorists; they've been carried out by people who are researchers,” says Wolf, noting that Ebright also correctly predicted that an “authorized government researcher” was responsible for the 2001 Anthrax outbreak.

Fast forward to 2020, and Ebright’s prediction that Fauci’s obsession with gain-of-function research would culminate into a catastrophe of epic proportions came true.

And yet during the pandemic, “Fauci [convinced] the world that he's somehow the good guy in all this,” says Wolf.

However, four years have passed since COVID swept the globe, and skepticism regarding the virus’ origins are at an all-time high.

Perhaps the world is finally ready to hear Dr. Ebright.

To learn more about Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic, check out “The Coverup,” BlazeTV’s new docuseries that deep dives into the origins of COVID-19, as well as the collusion between the government, the media, academics, and public health bureaucrats to ensure the narrative surrounding the virus remained untouchable.
