This past week included remarkable Republican-called hearings on Capitol Hill. The public heard testimony about the origins of Covid-19, and about the Twitter Files and the extent of censorship efforts by our government. The week also included Tucker Carlson’s reporting on the happenings within the Capitol building on January 6th.
Undoubtedly, the Democrat narrative is unraveling. It would be glorious to watch if it were not so destructive to the nation, as the Democrats made fools of themselves as they deflected issues and mocked witnesses. As much as we have come to expect this from them, it still shocks the conscience: Democrats are mean-spirited censors and bold-faced liars.
In all regards, Democrats have painted themselves into corners, placing themselves on the side of Anthony Fauci (now a proven liar), on the side of censorship (as they attacked Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger, writers of the Twitter Files), and on the unjust incarceration of people who simply (and only) walked through the Capitol on J6, committing no crime except simple trespass.
On the origins of Covid-19.
Wednesday’s hearing was particularly remarkable for the testimony of former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, who made no bones about it: Covid-19 was the product of a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute; US taxpayer money funded Gain of Function research; Anthony Fauci ordered up a bogus scientific paper as early as February 2020 to discredit the lab leak theory; and Dr Redfield, in his capacity as CDC Director, was deliberately excluded from conference calls among public health officials.
Dr. Redfield’s accusations are nothing short of stunning, and we hope that eventually Anthony Fauci will receive the scrutiny and punishment that he deserves for his crimes against humanity; Fauci lied, knowingly and deliberately.
At the 52 minute mark in the video, Redfield states that the Wuhan Lab “absolutely” conducted GoF research, which has no practical benefits.
At the 1:10 mark, under questioning from Congresswoman Malliotakis, Redfield testified: “I expressed it was not scientifically plausible that this virus went from bat to humans.” (We recommend you watch the full questioning by Malliotakis.)
For holding to that view, Redfield was excluded from high-level conference calls between public health officials, though he did not even realize he had been excluded, so thorough was Fauci’s exclusion of Redfield. “It was told to me they wanted a single narrative and I had a different point of view.”
The “wet market” narrative, explained Redfield, “… was an a priori decision,” and so thorough was Fauci’s planning that, at the start of 2020, Fauci ordered a scientific paper to be written on the natural origins of the virus, a paper he would then refer back to as support for the theory.
The Proximal Origin Paper: “Our analysis clearly shows that Covid-19 is not a laboratory construct or a purposely manipulated virus.”
“We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
“Though a ‘correspondence’ and not a formal paper, the article has been cited in the press 2,127 times.” (Brownstone Institute)
Indeed, between the 1st and 4th of February 2020, health officials migrated from the assumption of a lab leak to public certainty that the virus could have come only from an animal and the ‘wet market’ in Wuhan, China. In three short days, Fauci dug in and obligated professionals in the public health system to support his narrative.
At the 1:23 mark, the witness panel was asked: “Was there science available on February 17, 2020, to make an unequivocal statement against the possibility of a lab leak, that early on in February 2020?”
“No.”
From that point on, one could be banned from social media platforms for writing that the natural origin theory made no sense; your views were labeled “misinformation” or “disinformation” or perhaps even “malinformation.” YouTube removed commentary from highly-respected doctors…
Your government, directed by Anthony Fauci, and acting through private social media companies, simply forbade you from expressing your thoughts about an incident that impacted all of us as significantly as another world war.
World War Covid.
The Twitter Files
The week also included testimony from Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, among the writers of ‘The Twitter Files,’ which detail the layers of problems at Twitter before the service was purchased by Elon Musk.
The Democrats called them “two people who are a direct threat to those who oppose them.” And referred to Taibbi and Schellenberger are “so-called journalists.”
Two days before the hearing, Republicans released letters sent from the Federal Trade Commission to Elon Musk, demanding that Twitter “identify all journalists” who Musk allowed access to the company’s past emails and Slack messages.
We’re providing clips of the questioning endured by Taibbi and Schellenberger:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was among the more repugnant questioners:
Rep. Sylvia Garcia from Texas gets the award for foolishness and disrespect. “You’re in this as a threesome?”:
It hard to understand what the Democrats are supporting, actually:
The Great Unraveling of the J6 Narrative
Tucker Carlson has done our country the service of showing much more of the footage from inside the Capitol on January 6th:

Also this past week, Congresswoman Cori Bush, in a hearing about the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, labeled Alex Epstein a “white supremacist.” And Lauren Boebert was having nothing of it…
