1/ Leaving aside the fact that six witnesses have now sworn under penalty of perjury that they didn't tell Danchenko anything in the dossier, in some cases it's not even possible that they did. theepochtimes.com/alleged-steele…
2/ Steele was tasked with writing the Alfa Bank story on September 11, 2016 (as he twice claimed under oath in London court proceedings) or in late July 2016 (which was his amended testimony when pressed on it in court).
3/ The trouble with the claim that Abyshev was the source for the Alfa Bank information is that Abyshev met Danchenko only once in 2016 and that was before Steele was tasked with anything to do with Alfa Bank.
The Putin interview is very good. This guy is on top of his game, knows every issue in detail, knows how to pivot, knows how to troll. He just runs rings around this NBC stenographer. Biden is going to have a tough day tomorrow.
Strangely neither Daszak's name nor the name of his fellow natural origins hoaxer Ian Lipkin appear on the webpage of the event where Amy say next to Peter.
The Nature op-ed of March 17, 2020 was an even more forceful message to scientists the world over: Investigate lab leak and you will be tarred as a crackpot.
'any type of laboratory-based scenario is NOT plausible'
The main author is Kristian Andersen, the guy who just deleted all his tweets. On Jan 31, 2020 Andersen told Fauci that the virus had engineered looking features. The next day, they had their secret, emergency teleconference. After the teleconference, Anderson changed his tune.
The Nature op-ed had a huge impact in shaping the media's narrative and was used by Fauci himself to dismiss any suggestion of a lab leak. A few months later, Andersen got a huge grant from Fauci. niaid.nih.gov/news-events/ni…
1/ The Jan 31-Feb 2 timeline is so significant because it reveals the origins of the lab leak cover up. As soon as Fauci saw the Science article he knew he had a big problem. This kicked off a frantic 48h in which Fauci planted the seeds for a natural origins narrative.
2/ The Science article itself wasn't all that bad for Fauci but it linked to a Nature article that was far more troublesome. We know Fauci spotted this problem because he began sending his soon to be collaborators both the Science and the Nature articles.
3/ The Nature article describes gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan lab and specifically mentions that Fauci (i.e. NIAID) had funded the experiments. Thus, we know for certain that by Jan 31, Fauci *knew* that US taxpayers had funded reckless bat virus experiments in China.
