Hey @nytimes this is a lie. And I say this because I don't think it's a mistake. I think you knew full well that this had been previously reported by @forensicnewsnet.
Here:

And for the viewing public, here's the article from NYT.
nytimes.com/2021/05/27/nyr…
The other thing that's kind of annoying about the article is they seem to be acting as if a lot of the other widely known info on Ukrainian propaganda efforts is sort of like new or surprising information.

Parnas' arrest certainly had the effect of shutting up Trump and allies, but I have a hard time believing it was intentional, considering the massive propaganda effort that was all but demolished with their arrest.
I could more easily believe that Barr worked to keep others from being arrested and/or investigated, and warned them off of traveling with Fruman and Parnas, so that they wouldn't be nearby when FruPar were arrested.
In which case, a more accurate description would be that Barr couldn't prevent their arrest, and so arranged to limit the collateral damage as much as possible. Part of that WOULD mean shutting down the propaganda effort.

Working on some graphics.
Sadly it seems like 1/6 really didn't have the impact on our culture it should have. If you do an image search on 1/6 you don't get single image of the insurrection in the first screen.

There's some scientific arguments for lab origins of COVID-19 that are frankly well outside of my expertise and I can't comment on them.

But there IS a statistical component to their arguments that some are making, and that I CAN comment on.
Statistics is one of the trickiest fields of math, because it has strong interplay between the results you get, and how you state the problem. It's easy to create what seems to be some sort of statistical paradox or weirdness, but it's usually in problem misstatement.
And so there's an argument that says (more or less):

"the mutations to this virus are exactly and precisely what a lab would do to make this non-human virus very dangerous for humans."

In the first part of the video, this doesn't seem revelatory - amounting to "it's the racists, stupid".

But it goes into a lot more detail after that, and there's a lot to unpack.
I would in particular say that how they're racist matters. Knowing it's the Great Replacement theory that is driving these people points for me to what sort of public education efforts can reach them.

The Great Replacement theory is pure zero sum game. "They win I lose."
I've written before about how zero sum game theories are generally the roadblock for lots of progressive ideas.

The good news is that this is solvable. If it wasn't, women would NEVER have gotten the right to vote in this country.

Merrick Garland had two options in front of him. Two possible questions to pursue:

1. In a perfect world, how should the DOJ interact with legal requests regarding their internal processes?

2. In this real piece of shit of a world, what the fuck should be done about Barr?
Merrick Garland chose to answer question one, and ignore question two.

This is commendable. And disastrous.
A few days ago I tweeted about the need to contact our members of Congress to demand Congressional investigations into DOJ problems and/or demand an IG investigation at the DOJ.

This is amazing.
You know what would be awesome? If @SIRIUSXM dedicated a few channels solely to exploring this material.
Here's Bing Crosby singing with Duke Ellington in 1932.
