Actress-activist Rose McGowan ripped into the Clintons and Joe Biden Friday night with an anguished tweet about their “evil.”
“I was raped by a TOP Democratic donor. Hillary Clinton shut down NBC’s exposé of HW [Harvey Weinstein] with one call from her spokesperson. I strongly believe Joe Biden is a rapist. [The] DNC [Democrat National Convention] had Bill Clinton, serial abuser of young women (Epstein & others) speak,” McGowan tweeted, adding: “You want me to be pro-Dem? I know more than you will ever know about their evil. You can hid behind your convenient morality. I won’t”
McGowan has publicly accused disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 1997. The far-left New York Times confirmed Weinstein paid her a $100,000 settlement, which she alleges was hush money.
What McGowan is referring to is the fact that Weinstein was much more than a mogul and Oscar-winning producer. For decades, he was not only a major Democrat donor but an entrée into even more left-wing Hollywood money through his vast connections. Weinstein was also a close personal friend of both the Clintons and Obamas. Former first lady Michelle Obama described Weinstein as a “wonderful human being” and “good friend” in 2013. Weinstein had not yet been charged or convicted of rape. That would come a few years later. But at the time he had a notorious reputation as a toxic bully.
But his checks cleared.
When McGowan says Hillary killed NBC’s exposé, she’s referring to Ronan Farrow’s Pulitzer-winning reporting. Farrow’s reporting not only brought down Weinstein and helped launch the #MeToo movement, Farrow credibly claims he had the Weinstein story locked down for NCB News (including police audio of Weinstein admitting he groped a model) and NBC still showed him the door, but only after Hillary Clinton leaned on him and NBC through her powerful publicist.
McGown, like a lot of people, at least anyone with an open mind who’s looked at the evidence, says she believes Tara Reade when she writes “I believe Joe Biden is a rapist.” Reade has credibly claimed Biden assaulted her in 1993. The evidence backing up that claim is mind-blowing.
As far as Bill Clinton the “serial abuser,” the DNC still allowed Clinton to speak even as his sleazy connections to Jeffrey Epstein come more and more to light every day. To the surprise of no one, Hillary also appears to be part of this.
So imagine you are Rose McGowan, you’re the Ground Zero of the #MeToo movement and nothing’s changed, not a goddamned thing.
McGowan is the one who risked all the horrors that come with violating Harvey Weinstein’s non-disclosure agreement, and did so when he was still Harvey Fucking Weinstein, not an old rapist clunking around on a walker. She’s the tip of the spear, she’s the one who lost her career, she’s the one who burned all the bridges — and now — thanks in no small part to sellout (and McGowan’s former charmed co-star) Alyssa Milano, it was all for nothing. Everything keeps right on keeping on.
Oh, sure, McGowan was a real hero when “problematic” men were being taken down, men who could easily be replaced, men whose time had passed, men like Brett Kavanaugh who are ideologically unacceptable. Go Rose!
But Joe Biden? Whoa, whoa, whoa… Let’s not go crazy here. We need him to stop Trump and we need Bill Clinton to make the case for him and Hillary is part of that package deal, so Crazy Rose needs to go away now…
The same media, the same celebrities, the same Alyssa Milano that rode the #MeToo movement to ratings and prestige have now totally sold out. Of course they have. It was never about right and wrong or enough is enough, or rape — it was only about power, it was only about Alyssa Milano’s comeback…
Tara Reade, Rose McGowan… They’re liars now, crazies, attention-whores… Just like all women who dare to accuse or speak out against any man needed to further the left-wing cause.

In a blistering social media attack, actress Rose McGowan has accused her former Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano of “stealing” the #MeToo movement and creating a toxic work environment on the set of their hit WB teen series. Her accusations caused the hashtag #AlyssaMilanoIsALie to trend on Twitter.
Their fight has even drawn in Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who has accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her three decades ago.
Rose McGowan fired off her Twitter salvos late Friday, calling Milano a “fucking fraud.”
“You stole #metoo (a brilliant communication tool, not a movement) from Tarana,” McGowan tweeted, referring to activist Tarana Burke, who started the “Me Too” movement in 2006. “You co-opted my movement, the Cultural Reset, for fame, jealous of me for outing my rapist.” (Rose McGowan has accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 1997 at the Sundance Film Festival.)
Rose McGowan then accused Milano of behaving unprofessionally on the WB series. “You threw a fit in front of the crew, yelling, ‘They don’t pay me enough to do this shit!’ Appalling behavior on the daily. I cried every time we got renewed because you made that set toxic AF [as fuck].”
She concluded: “Get off my coattails you fucking fraud.”
Alyssa Milano appeared to respond to McGowan’s accusations by sarcastically calling for people to help #AlyssaMilanoIsALie to trend. “Everyone saying sweet things—I see you. Thank you. Everyone saying horrible things—I see you. Fuck off.”
The two actresses have been feuding for years. McGowan publicly expressed her antipathy for Milano in a 2018 ABC News interview, calling Milano a “lie” and alleging that the actress is a puppet of Creative Artists Agency, the powerful left-wing talent agency that represents numerous Hollywood stars and Democrat politicians. (Milano is married to CAA agent Dave Bugliari.)
CAA has faced accusations that it protected Harvey Weinstein and even tried to quash accusations about his history of sexual assault and harassment.
“Do you think I don’t know these people?” McGowan told ABC News. “Do the math. Who’s behind Time’s Up? CAA. Where do they meet? CAA? Who needs good PR? CAA. Who are part of the pimp problem? CAA.”
Their feud recently boiled over after Alyssa Milano endorsed Joe Biden despite Tara Reade’s allegation that the presidential candidate sexually assaulted her in 1993 when she worked as a Senate staffer. Milano was a prominent face in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, supporting Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations against the Supreme Court nominee.
On Friday, Tara Reade jumped into the feud, defending McGowan while accusing Milano of being an “enabler of rape.”
“Joe Biden sexually harassed and assaulted then ruined my life,” Reade tweeted. “Not once not twice but three times. YOU ARE COMPLICIT @Alyssa_Milano and an enabler of rape And I will NEVER let you forget how you tried to erase me.
Now stop trolling Rose.”
Hundreds of far-left activists stormed a residential neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night as they shined lights into people’s home and screamed, “out of your house, into the streets!”
Videographer BG On the Scene captured numerous videos of the night’s action and identified those who were marching as Black Lives Matter protesters.
Journalist Andy Ngo identified them as being part of antifa. The far-left activists wore black and carried shields, at least one of which could briefly be seen with a hammer and sickle symbol on it.
“Out of your house, into the streets!” the activists screamed as they marched through the residential neighborhood. They repeated the chant countless times throughout the area.
“Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter!” the activists screamed late into the night, adding: “Stolen land! Stolen people! Stolen land! Stolen people!”
The Portland Police Department released the following statement highlighting last night’s violence from the far-left activists:
Officers placed unoccupied police vehicles parked on Northeast Emerson Street on the southwest side of the precinct and yellow police line tape across the road. That was done with the intention of keeping the crowd away from the building. In past protests there have been attempts to commit arson and burn the occupied building. A police loudspeaker provided warnings to the crowd not to enter city property and on the closed area of Northeast Emerson Street.
Almost immediately the officers were targeted by thrown bottles, eggs, and green lasers toward their eyes. The lasers are powerful enough that they’re capable of causing serious, permanent eye damage. The police sound truck issued further warnings, notifying the crowd that officers have observed people in the area of North Precinct throwing projectiles and pointing lasers at officers. …
Despite warnings, individuals in the crowd continued throwing things. Officers tried to retreat out of sight to attempt to deescalate. Over the next three hours, individuals in the crowd pelted the police vehicles with softball-sized rocks, glass bottles, golf balls, ball bearings, metal railroad spikes, and plastic eggs filled with paint. There were also balloons filled with feces thrown on the cars and even a torn up street sign was used to vandalize the marked police cars. Windows were broken and tires were deflated.
However, because the risk did not involve life safety, and in an attempt to deescalate and avoid the need to use of force, officers remained far back (photo). Eventually some individuals encroached past the closure area. Targeted, selective arrests were made. Some limited crowd control munitions were deployed, including inert smoke canisters. After the arrests and munitions were deployed, the officers again retreated attempting to deescalate.
Officers in the sound truck used their loudspeaker to warn the group to back off the city property, keep the demonstration peaceful, and the ask crowd to police itself. However, individuals within the group continued to increase their attacks in an attempt to goad the officers into responding. Individuals were seen using lacrosse sticks to launch rocks a greater distance. At least two officers were struck with rocks despite their safety buffer. A ball bearing struck the loudspeaker truck almost a full block away. A van parked in front of the neighboring Boys and Girls Club had a window broken by what is believed to be a golf ball (photos).
Numerous people with “press” markings encroached on the closed area. One person with “press” written on their garments deflated another police vehicle tire (photo). The sound truck made an announcement that Portland Police appreciates them being here to observe and report. They were told that that if they were there as press or a legal observer, they must also move off Northeast Emerson Street and the sidewalks to the north and south of Northeast Emerson Street. Failure to comply with this order may subject them to arrest, citation, and/or use of force, including, but not limited to, crowd control agents and impact weapons. …
Finally, at 1:07a.m., due to the persistent and ongoing criminal acts, the PPB sound truck issued a warning that the event was being declared an unlawful assembly and that all community members in the area should leave to the south. Officers moved up to physically move the crowd. Almost immediately the officers were pelted with objects including rocks. At 1:10a.m., a riot was declared. More warnings were given. Officers moved the crowd to the south. One vehicle tried to run over some officers, but was unsuccessful in injuring them. An officer was injured when she was struck by a rock that had been thrown. Green lasers targeted the PPB Air Unit.
Ngo and BG On the Scene tweeted out numerous videos showing the attacks on law enforcement officials by the violent rioters.

"What Have Democrats Done To Solve ANYTHING?": Rose McGowan Goes Ballistic Over ‘Rapist’ Biden, ‘Vacuous’ Liberal Elites Tyler Durden
Sat, 08/22/2020 – 12:55
Actress Rose McGowan has gone on a massive, multi-day Twitter rant against Hillary Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party, and former "Charmed" co-star Alyssa Milano.
McGowan – who alleges Harvey Weinstein raped her (he did settle with her for $100,000 in October, 2017 before sending an Israeli intelligence agency, Black Cube, to spy on her) – wrote in a Friday tweet:
"I was raped by a TOP Democratic donor. Hillary Clinton shut down NBC’s exposé of HW with one call from her spokesperson," adding "I strongly believe Joe Biden is a rapist. DNC had Bill Clinton, serial abuser of young women (Epstein & others). You want to be pro-Dem? I know more than you will ever know about their evil…"
She then engaged in a fight with enraged leftist actress, Patricia Arquette.
And did you forget Joe Biden terrorizing Aníta Hill? Did you forget all the drone bombing in other countries done by your beloved Democrats? Did you forget Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Did you forget them letting prisons be privatized? https://t.co/sKWVuGsFPr
Go wear another black dress to an awards show, go make another vacuous speech into an echo chamber of fellow wealthy liberals in Hollywood. My family fought for the Democrats for years, still do. Do not lecture me. https://t.co/FJmDHWVpDC
Days earlier, the disaffected actress then slammed the Democratic party, tweeting: "What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING," adding "Why did people vote Trujmp? Because of you motherfuckers."
What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING. Why did people vote Trump? Because of you motherfuckers.
After McGowan then focused her lasers on former "Charmed" co-star and giant Biden supporter Alyssa Milano, Biden rape accuser Tara Reade piled on, tweeting "And don’t ever forget @Alyssa_Milano Joe Biden sexually harassed and assaulted then ruined my life. Not once not twice but three times."
And don’t ever forget @Alyssa_Milano Joe Biden sexually harassed and assaulted then ruined my life. Not once not twice but three times. YOU ARE COMPLICIT @Alyssa_Milano and an enabler of rape And I will NEVER let you forget how you tried to erase me.
Now stop trolling Rose.
Apparently McGowan and anyone else who attacks Democrats are automatic Russians:
When these ghouls get back into power, are they going to continue to insist all their critics are really just Russian bots & Kremlin agents? I hope they don’t really believe this – that it’s just a cynical ploy to manipulate liberal rubes – but who knows?https://t.co/GB6LVvAf7A
Today’s episode of "anyone who falls outside a narrow set of ideological parameters must be a stooge of Russia." Now four-years running, and set for renewal. Doubt we’d see the "series finale" if people such as Ben regain control of the NatSec apparatushttps://t.co/brm7qRlZua
On Wednesday morning, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie threw a series of softballs at Jill Biden, like feeling her pain about Trump mocking her husband’s mental acuity. “As far as you’re concerned, is that a fair attack? Is that something that should be debated as part of the campaign?“
But on Saturday’s Today, NBC’s co-hosts and weekday White House reporters Peter Alexander and Kristen Welker offered only attack questions with Lara Trump, Eric Trump’s wife and a Trump campaign adviser. It’s like they were yelling at Kayleigh McEnany. Alexander deployed former NBC News employee Chris Wallace in the first question:
PETER ALEXANDER: We want to ask about the Democratic National Convention this last week. Your father-in-law, the president’s repeatedly attacked Biden as Sleepy Joe and Slow Joe. But his acceptance speech on Thursday was widely praised! Even Fox News described it as “enormously effective.” So doesn’t that blow a hole in the president’s argument?
LARA TRUMP: The fact he got through a speech that was on a teleprompter, I mean, we kind of expected that. It was all laid out for him there. But look, I think what you’re going to see is a very different depiction of America. What we saw last week from the Democrats, really their entire convention was about bashing Donald Trump. It was a dark, dismal, and really depressing vision of America, I think, that they presented. We are going to have the opposite. Ours will be hopeful and inspirational and patriotic, and we want people at the end of our four days to be reminded that America continues to be the greatest, most exceptional nation in the world.
Welker then insisted Trump’s message is darker than the Democrat convention:
KRISTEN WELKER: You’re accusing the Democrats of having a dark and gloomy message. And yet, President Trump said yesterday, quote, "I’m the only thing standing between the American Dream and total anarchy, madness, and chaos." Is that the message we can expect to hear from the president this week? And how is that positive, Lara?
LARA TRUMP: Well, I think that’s the truth. The reality is the Democrats didn’t want to address the fact that in the democrat-run, amazing cities we have in America, these cities are being completely taken over by chaos. Sadly, the mayors of these cities are letting their citizens down. They are not protecting small businesses. They are not keeping people safe. They’re letting anarchy overrun things. I think whenever you see that that is the platform that the Democrats really have right now, and president trump is the American dream. I mean, what he did in the first three years in office was incredible. We had the greatest economy we’ve ever had in the history of this country.
WELKER: But Lara, to be clear, there are 13 million people —
LARA TRUMP: We know a rising tide lifts all ships. That’s exactly what he plans to do.
WELKER: Lara, just let me follow up very quickly. Still 13 million people out of work in the wake of the pandemic.
LARA TRUMP: Yeah, but we are seeing a great recovery. Look, we did — I hate to tell Joe Biden — we did shut the country down, Joe. In the past 90 days, around 10 million new jobs have been created in this country. So we do have a very sharp, almost V-shaped recovery that we see happening right now.
Why doesn’t "Doctor" Jill Biden get tough questions like this?
Alexander then asked about the coronavirus: "Joe Biden laid out a specific plan to fight the virus. Rapid testing, resources to open schools safely, follow the science. What is wrong with that prescription, and what exactly is the president’s plan?"
Reporters still play dumb, like the administration hasn’t been following a plan of any kind, or following science. Lara Trump made the usual point that it was Biden who criticized Trump as "xenophobic" for shutting down travel from China in January.
Alexander ended the segment with a phony fact check: "We’re out of time. It was a March 18th tweet when Joe Biden accused the president of being xenophobic, using Chinese virus in the tweet that day."
Unlike NBC’s Biden attack dog, FactCheck.org noted that Biden did attack Trump’s "xenophobia" on the day in January that Trump restricted travel from China (except from Americans). But Biden spinners claims he was attacking Trump’s overall "xenophobia," not the travel restriction.
"Wake Up Motherf**ker, Wake Up!" BLM Idles Through Portland Neighborhood With Bullhorn Tyler Durden
Fri, 08/21/2020 – 10:20
Residents of an upscale Portland neighborhood were treated to some late night entertainment on Thursday, as roughly 100 protesters idled down the street blaring a truck horn and chanting "Wake up motherfucker, wake up!" through a bullhorn.
The Portland protesters shine lights into houses in the neighborhood, calling on everyone to come out and march with them as they make their way back towards Keaton Park #Portland#PortlandProtestpic.twitter.com/N5SGmlLczO
Public Disturbance in Portland – The protesters have vowed to wake up the entire neighborhood as they march through tonight, an act of non-violent civil disobedience #Portland#PortlandProtestspic.twitter.com/56UtEQ3Vxn
As if this wasn’t ‘helpful’ enough for the Biden campaign, at one point a woman on the bullhorn says "Yes, I know Joe Biden fucking sucks, but vote for him please."
“Yes, I know Joe Biden f***ing sucks, but vote for him, please.” Protest leaders reluctantly back Joe Biden as they seek to remove Donald Trump from office in this upcoming election #PortlandProtest#Portlandpic.twitter.com/jOjNjMq4mg
Continuing along with footage from roving journalist Brendan Gutenschwager (who covered the Trump rally in Yuma, AZ on Tuesday and then drove through California wildfires to Portland), the scene in Oregon remained tense Thursday night as federal agents stormed out of the Portland ICE detention center while protesters played ‘Move bitch, get out da way‘ and other music.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot believes you have the right to gather and protest. Just know that doesn’t apply to protesting her. On Thursday, the mayor, a Democrat, defended a ban on demonstrations on her block, saying that “this is a different time like no other.” According to the Chicago Tribune, the remarks came at a news…
The issues that will surely resonate most with voters in the US Presidential and Congressional elections in November are the threats to their own – and their families – personal safety and security posed by the escalating breakdown of law and order over the last twelve months.
The Democrats have supported:
illegal immigration,
stopping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers seeking to deport illegal immigrants,
Ryan Lizza, the Chief Washington Correspondent of Politico, is the kind of character assassin who likes going to the White House briefing and throwing beanball questions about how many coronavirus deaths President Trump thinks are acceptable.
If that sounds darkly partisan, you could also see the sunny side of Lizza on Twitter, almost levitating over Barack Obama’s speech. “Barack Obama just delivered the finest convention speech in modern history (again). Spellbinding, chilling, optimistic, beautifully written, and expertly delivered. Incredible moment.”
Conservative Twitter informally awarded him the Chris Matthews Thrill Up My Leg Prize for most infatuated reaction. But it seconds the emotions of the average “objective” journalist.
So let’s focus on how Obama’s speech could be evaluated more critically. Some lines were mean-spirited, phony, or laughable.
1. Obama said “Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe: 170,000 Americans dead, millions of jobs gone, while those at the top take in more than ever.”
If we had a President Hillary Clinton, would Obama (or his many media allies) consider it fair game to blame tens of thousands of American COVID deaths on her? Do they honestly believe that under Democrats, the death toll would have been 170? That would ignore how the worst death tolls are largely in states with Democrat governors.
2. Obama touted Biden’s character. “Joe’s a man who learned early on to treat every person he meets with respect and dignity….That empathy, that decency, the belief that everybody counts — that’s who Joe is.”
That’s a Pants on Fire lie. Just weeks ago, he sneered that any black voter who didn’t support him isn’t really black. In 2012, Biden smeared Wall Street before a black audience: “They’re gonna put y’all back in chains.” Examples abound.
3. This Obama spin about Biden and Harris really makes opponents laugh. “They believe that no one — including the president — is above the law, and that no public official — including the president — should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters.”
Does that include presidents that massively enrich themselves immediately after leaving office? I don’t recall Biden denouncing Obama’s mega-deals with Penguin Random House and Netflix.
4. This routine about Biden and Harris and their beliefs continued. “They understand that in this democracy, the commander in chief doesn’t use the men and women of our military, who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation, as political props to deploy against peaceful protesters on our own soil.”
If Obama was ever surrounded by skeptical journalists, they might ask which protesters in cities like Portland and Seattle were “peaceful,” because it certainly wasn’t the hooligans throwing bricks and trying to set federal buildings on fire. Obama’s right that Democrats love to blur the peaceful and violent protesters into a heroic whole. Kamala Harris called them a “coalition of conscience" taking to the streets.
5. Finally, Obama claimed the Biden-Harris ticket understands that “political opponents aren’t ‘un-American’ just because they disagree with you; that a free press isn’t the “enemy,” but the way we hold officials accountable.”
False. In April, Biden said Trump’s differing opinion on mail-in voting was “un-American.” And most conservatives thought it was rich for Obama to uphold the press, when even Obama-supporting journalists admitted Obama was the harshest president in history in prosecuting journalists in leak investigations.
Donald Trump isn’t wrong to think of the media elite as an enemy of Trump, even as Obama arrogantly poses as the defender of those hardened observers like Terry Moran, who oozed he was “taking a step down into the Oval Office.”
It will not be possible for the Dr. Fauci’s of the world to dismiss Professor Giuseppe Tritto as a crank.
Not only is he an internationally known expert in biotechnology and nanotechnology who has had a stellar academic career, but he is also the president of the World Academy of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies(WABT), an institution founded under the aegis of UNESCO in 1997.
In other words, he is a man of considerable stature in the global scientific community. Equally important, one of the goals of WABT is to analyze the effect of biotechnologies – like genetic engineering – on humanity.
In his new book, this world-class scientist does exactly that. And what he says is that the China Virus definitely wasn’t a freak of nature that happened to cross the species barrier from bat to man. It was genetically engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s P4 (high-containment) lab in a program supervised by the Chinese military.
Prof. Tritto’s book, which at present is available only in Italian, is called Cina COVID 19: La Chimera che ha cambiato il Mondo(China COVID 19: The chimera that changed the world). It was published on August 4 by a major Italian press, Edizioni Cantagalli, which coincidentally also published the Italian edition of one of my books, Population Control (Controllo Demografico in Italian) several years ago.
What sets Prof. Tritto’s book apart is the fact that it demonstrates – conclusively, in my view – the pathway by which a PLA-owned coronavirus was genetically modified to become the China Virus now ravaging the world. His account leaves no doubt that it is a “chimera”, an organism created in a lab.
He also connects the dots linking the Wuhan lab to France and the United States, showing how both countries provided financial and scientific help to the Chinese as they began to conduct ever more dangerous bioengineering experiments. Although neither American nor French virologists are responsible for the end result—a highly infectious coronavirus and a global pandemic—their early involvement may explain why so many insist that the “chimera” must have come from nature. The last thing they want to admit is that they might have had a hand in it.
Those of us who, early on, argued for a laboratory origin were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Our articles were censored as “fake news,” often by American virologists who knew perfectly well what the truth was, but preferred to protect China, and themselves, from scrutiny lest they themselves be implicated.
Dr. Tritto’s 272 pages of names, dates, places, and facts leaves such apologists with no place to hide.
The story begins following the SARS epidemic of 2003, as the Chinese attempt to develop vaccines to combat the deadly disease. Dr. Shi Zhengli, about whom I have previously written, was in charge of the program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
In vaccine development, reverse genetics is used to create viral strains that have reduced pathogenicity but to which the immune system responds by creating antibodies against the virus. But reverse genetics can also be used to create viral strains that have increased pathogenicity. That is what Dr. Shi, encouraged by PLA bioweapons experts, began increasingly to focus her research on, according to Prof. Tritto.
Dr. Shi first solicited help from the French government, which built the P4 lab, and from the country’s Pasteur institute, which showed her how to manipulate HIV genomes. The gene insertion method used is called “reverse genetics system 2.” Using this method, she inserted an HIV segment into a coronavirus discovered in horseshoe bats to make it more infectious and lethal.
The U.S. was involved as well, particularly Prof Ralph S. Baric, of the University of North Carolina, who was on the receiving end of major grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. This is, of course, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s shop. Fauci was a big proponent of “gain of function” research, and when this was prohibited at Baric’s lab because it was considered to be too dangerous, the research was shifted to China.
Prof. Tritto believes that, while Dr. Shi’s research began as an effort to develop a vaccine against SARS, it gradually morphed into an effort to use “reverse genetics” to build lethal biological weapons. This was the reason that the Wuhan lab became China’s leading center for virology research in recent years, attracting major funding and support from the central government.
I would add that the rule in Communist-controlled China is “let the civilian support the military,” which means that as soon as Dr. Shi’s research showed any potential military uses the PLA would have begun exercising control of the research. This came out in the open with the outbreak, when China’s leading expert on bioweapons, People’s Liberation Army Major General Chen Wei, was immediately placed in charge of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As for Dr. Shi Zheng-Li, she seems to have disappeared.
As Dr. Tritto explained in an interview with Italian media:
In 2005, after the SARS epidemic, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was born, headed by Dr. Shi Zheng-Li, who collects coronaviruses from certain bat species and recombines them with other viral components in order to create vaccines. In 2010 she came into contact with American researchers led by Prof. Ralph Baric, who in turn works on recombinant viruses based on coronaviruses. Thanks to the matrix viruses provided by Shi, Baric created in 2015 a mouse Sars-virus chimera, which has a pathogenic effect on human cells analyzed in vitro.
At that point, the China-US collaboration becomes competition. Shi wants to work on a more powerful virus to make a more powerful vaccine: it combines a bat virus with a pangolin virus in vitro and in 2017 publishes the results of this research in some scientific articles.
Her research attracts the interest of the Chinese military and medical-biological sector which deals with biological weapons used as a deterrent for defensive and offensive purposes. Thus Shi is joined by doctors and biologists who belong to the political-military sphere, such as Guo Deyin, a scholar of anti-AIDS and anti-viral hepatitis vaccines and expert in genetic recombination techniques. The introduction of the new engineered inserts into the virus genome is the result of the collaboration between the Shi team and that of Guo Deyin. The realization of this new chimera, from a scientific point of view, is a success. So much so that, once the epidemic has broken out, the two researchers ask WHO to register it as a new virus, H-nCoV-19 (Human new Covid 19), and not as another virus derived from SARS. It is reasonable to think that Shi acted only from the point of view of scientific prestige, without however taking into account the risks in terms of security and the political-military interests that her research would have aroused.
When asked why China has refused to provide the complete genome of the China Virus to the WHO or to other countries, Dr. Tritto explained that “providing the matrix [source] virus would have meant admitting that SARS-CoV-2 [China Virus] was created in the laboratory. In fact, the incomplete genome made available by China lacks some inserts of AIDS amino acids, which itself is a smoking gun.”
The key question, for those of us who are living through the pandemic, concerns the development of a vaccine. On this score, Prof. Tritto is not optimistic:
Given the many mutations of SARS-CoV-2, it is extremely unlikely that a single vaccine that blocks the virus will be found. At the moment 11 different strains have been identified: the A2a genetic line which developed in Europe and the B1 genetic line which took root in North America are more contagious than the 0 strain originating in Wuhan. I therefore believe that, at the most, a multivalent vaccine can be found effective on 4-5 strains and thus able to cover 70-75% of the world’s population.
In other words, by withholding from the world the original genetic code of the China Virus that it created, the Chinese Communist Party is ensuring that no completely effective vaccine will ever be developed by the West.
In other words, China continues to lie, and people continue to die.
