FOIA Reveals NIH Secretly DELETED COVID Data Provided by the Wuhan Lab at the BEGINNING of the Pandemic

The National Institutes of Health deleted information about COVID-19 genetic sequencing during the pandemic at the request of researchers in Wuhan, China, a move that created consternation in science circles, according to emails obtained by a nonpartisan whistleblower and government oversight group.

The emails obtained by the Empower Oversight group show a Wuhan University researcher submitted virus sequence information to the NIH's Sequence Read Archive in March 2020 – the same month the World Health Organization declared a pandemic and about two months after the virus was detected in Wuhan.

The scientist made an additional submission on the virus in June 2020, according to the emails. Later that day, he asked the NIH to retract the submission, claiming it was made in error.

The NIH responded by saying it preferred to edit or replace submissions over replacing them.

A few days later, the researcher submitted another request to withdraw the genetic sequence from the NIH database, according to the emails.

The NIH agreed to the researcher's request one day later, and asked for clarification on whether another submission should be deleted.

"I had withdrawn everything," an unnamed NIH official said to the Wuhan researcher in an email.

The emails were obtained after Empower Oversight sued the NIH under the Freedom of Information Act. You can read them here.

The documents also show an expert advised then-NIH Director Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who leads the agency's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that COVID originated outside of the Wuhan food market, as the Chinese government has claimed.

Additional emails show that the NIH directed reporters to more favorable coverage about the deletion.

"Off the record: we think this WaPo story does a good job characterizing the situation," NIH's Renate Myles wrote to a reporter at The Hill newspaper, directing the journalist away from a New York Times story because of its "tone."

"These documents raise several questions that need further investigation to answer fully," according to a report by Empower Oversight, founder by a former top staffer for Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley. "Congress should press the NIH for answers on why it is stonewalling Senate inquiries and dragging its feet on basic transparency through FOIA."

The group says one of the most disconcerting elements of the emails is evidence showing the NIH has refused to participate in a transparent process to examine data on the deleted sequences.

RINO Susan Collins Flips — Will Vote for Radical Judge Ketanji Jackson Despite Her Leniency of Child Porn Traffickers

Joe Biden’s nomination of radical Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as Supreme Count Justice was the regime’s finest assault on American Greatness to date. Ketanji’s most endearing qualities according to Biden were that she was female and black.

Despite her selection based on her femaleness, Ketanji refuses to define what a female is.

Ketanji Brown Jackson has a strong resume in critical race theory, she pushes open borders, she defends terrorists for free, and she is easy on child porn traffickers.

She is the perfect representative of today’s Democrat Party.

And Ketanji’s rulings are often overturned due to her unconstitutional stands.

She is as radical a Supreme Court pick as was possible in a pool of radical America-hating liberals.

On Wednesday morning RINO Susan Collins announced she will vote to confirm Ketanji. This should come as no surprise.

The American judicial system was not radical enough for Susan Collins.

Ukrainian ‘nationalists’ used synagogue to store weapons – Russia

The Russian Defense Ministry has accused Kiev of spreading “cynical lies” about its military campaign

Russia said on Wednesday that Ukrainian fighters were using a synagogue to secretly store weapons and ammunition. Kiev has repeatedly accused Moscow of striking civilian targets, while Russia says it is only hitting sites used by the military.

Major General Igor Konashenkov, Defense Ministry spokesman, accused Kiev of trying to deceive the world with “cynical lies” about Russia’s offensive.

He presented a set of images he said was evidence of “nationalists” using a synagogue in the city of Uman, in central Ukraine, “for military purposes.”

The spokesman added that Ukrainians planned to use Jewish religious groups to exert pressure on Russia if the synagogue in question had been destroyed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned the shelling of the city by Russia in his address to Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on March 20. Tens of thousands of Jews gather in Uman every year for a pilgrimage to a tomb of a local religious leader.

The images, according to Konashenkov, were dated March 21 and provided by “a member of Uman’s Jewish community.” They appear to be stills from a CCTV video and show a group of men in fatigues gathering around a truck and two buses parked outside a building, which Konashenkov identified as a synagogue.

The truck is loaded with backpacks and objects similar to rolled up cushion foams. Two men cover them up with a bedsheet and a pair of blankets. The men in military-style clothes stand near a white bus with a warning sign on its windshield, which says “Children.”

US Army & State Officials Facilitated Torturous Child Sex Ring by Ignoring Dozens of Complaints for a Decade

Arizona — The US Army and the state of Arizona facilitated through inaction, a decade-long child sex abuse ring ran by a top civilian commander, David Frodsham. According to a report from the Associated Press this week, the Army and the state of Arizona missed or ignored multiple red flags over more than a decade, which allowed Frodsham to abuse his adopted children and other children for years, all the while putting national security at risk.

Before his arrest, Frodsham was the deputy commander of the Fort Huachuca Army base — a position he held after being kicked out of Afghanistan for deviant sexual behavior.

“I would not recommend placing him back into a position of authority but rather pursuing disciplinary actions at his home station,” wrote one commanding officer when recommending that the Army order Frodsham to leave his post at Bagram Airfield for his “deviant sexual behavior,” and return to Fort Huachuca.

Instead of discipline, however, Frodsham rejoined the Network Enterprise Technology Command, the Army’s information technology service provider, where he had served as director of personnel for a global command of 15,000 soldiers and civilians, according to the AP.

While running the child sex ring, the state and the Army overlooked nearly 20 complaints, and attempted complaints, of abuse, neglect, maltreatment and licensing violations that surfaced through Arizona’s foster system. Despite these complaints, the state allowed this monster to continue to foster, adopt and retain custody of their many children who were used in the sex abuse ring.

According to officials, Frodsham’s illicit child sex practices coupled with the fact that he held a top secret clearance, made him a target of of blackmail from foreign intelligence agencies and a vulnerable security risk.

“He would have been an obvious target of foreign intelligence services because of his role and his location,” said Frank Figliuzzi, the former assistant director of counterintelligence for the FBI. “Fort Huachuca is one of the more sensitive installations in the continental United States. People with security issues should not be there.”

Yet he was there, and he was running a child sex ring in the meantime.

Three of the Frodshams’ adopted children have each filed a civil suit against the State of Arizona, with one filed this week for allowing the couple to continue parenting them despite the allegations of abuse.

In an interview with the AP, Ryan Frodsham said his adoptive father began sexually abusing him when he was 9 or 10 years old and the abuse continued into his teens, when David Frodsham began offering his son’s sexual services to other men.

“Makes me throw up thinking about it,” Ryan said.

W.H.O. Warns Social Surveillance Must Remain Even as Global Coronavirus Cases Plunge

The number of new coronavirus cases fell globally last week including in the Western Pacific region where they had been rising since December, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) reported Wednesday.

That unalloyed good news was tempered by a caution for governments everywhere to maintain strict social surveillance levels to thwart any possible resurgence — now and into the future.

As overall case rates fell, the U.N. agency also reported the number of people killed by the coronavirus surged by more than 40 percent over the same period, likely due to changes in how deaths were reported across the Americas and by newly adjusted figures from India.

AP reports about 10 million new coronavirus infections and more than 45,000 deaths were reported worldwide over the past week, following a 23 percent drop in fatalities the week before.

Overall, a total of 10,805,132 new cases and 45,711 deaths were reported to the global organization on March 21-27.

The decline in case incidence was reported by all the six W.H.O. global regions, particularly Eastern Mediterranean (down 32 percent), Africa (down 29 percent) and Western Pacific (down 24 percent).

In Europe, which accounts for 49 percent of all new cases registered worldwide in the past week, the case count declined by four percent.

The agency warned countries in recent weeks against dropping their comprehensive testing and other surveillance measures, saying any relaxation of social control and monitoring would cripple efforts to accurately track the spread of the virus, the AP report outlined.

“Data are becoming progressively less representative, less timely and less robust,” W.H.O. said in the weekly briefing. “This inhibits our collective ability to track where the virus is, how it is spreading and how it is evolving: information and analyses that remain critical to effectively end the acute phase of the pandemic.”

The agency warned less surveillance would particularly harm efforts to detect new COVID variants and undermine a potential response.

Despite the global decline in reported cases, China locked down Shanghai this week to try to curb an omicron outbreak that has caused the country’s biggest wave of disease since the virus was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019, as Breitbart News reported.

Two Ukrainians, Two Fathers and Arab Christian Cop Killed in Terror Attack in Israel

Two Ukrainian nationals, an Arab Israeli police officer, and two fathers were identified as the five victims of a shooting attack by a Palestinian terrorist in a Tel Aviv suburb on Tuesday.

The terrorist, identified as Diaa Hamarsheh, 26, a Palestinian from near the West Bank city of Jenin, smuggled into Israel illegally and began a shooting spree with an M16 assault rifle in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak in central Israel.

Palestinians came out to celebrate outside Hamarsheh’s family home and in other Palestinian cities later that evening.

One of the victims, Avishai Yehezkel, 29, was shielding his two-year-old son when the Palestinian terrorist sprayed bullets at him. His son remained in the street after his father was murdered. Apart from the toddler, Yehezkel was survived by his wife, who is eight months pregnant.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Israel issued a statement condemning the “heinous” attack and confirming that two unnamed Ukrainian nationals, aged 23 and 32, were among the dead.

The other two victims were Amir Khoury, 32, an Arab Christian police officer who was one of two officers who killed the terrorist, and Yaakov Shalom, 36, the son of a prominent rabbi who died last year from COVID.

Shalom was shot at point blank range from inside his car.

He was survived by his mother, wife and four children.

Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai expressed his condolences to Khoury’s father, Jarris.

“Alongside the tragedy, it is important for me to tell you that your son saved the lives of many civilians,” Shabtai said according to the Times of Israel. “His actions will become a legacy and memory of heroism for the whole country.”

Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan Sexually Assaulted 15-Year-Old Boy at Party, Court Hears

Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy at a party in 2008, a court has heard.

Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, who was elected to represent Wakefield in 2019, is currently on trial after being charged with molesting a 15-year-old boy. The Tory MP has denied the charges levied against him in the “strongest terms“.

On Wednesday, the court heard that during a 2008 birthday party in Staffordshire, Khan had asked an 18-year-old if he was a “true Scotsman” before lifting his kilt and later allegedly sexually assaulted the teen’s 15-year-old brother.

The prosecutor in the case, Sean Larkin QC, told the court per The Telegraph: “Khan then lifted up the kilt with both hands and lunged at him so that he thought he was going to grab him,” explaining that the teenager “felt very different” about Khan’s actions compared to other experience of people trying to lift his kilt.”

Jurors heard that Khan was invited to the party by a friend of a friend and was told that he could stay over by the family, who placed him in the same room as the 18-year-old and his 15-year-old brother.

The court was told that the 15-year-old heard Khan’s “breathing was getting quite heavy” as he sexually assaulted him.

“When [the complainant] went to bed, Mr Khan stood by that top bunk, reached in and touched his legs, reaching for, or actually touching, his groin. We suggest either way it was sexual assault. He pushed him away but he kept going, and when it would not stop he fled,” the prosecutor said.

The alleged victim — who remains anonymous per British law — was said to have been “distraught” and reported the incident to police, telling officers that Khan had told him to “show me some porn” and said that he was a “good-looking boy”.

At the time, the boy did not want to take the allegations further, however, once Mr Khan began to campaign for the House of Commons, he rose the complaint with the police again.

Before being elected to Parliament, Khan served as a special assistant for political affairs at the United Nations in Somalia.

In response to the trial, the Conservative Party suspended the whip from Khan, thereby preventing him from sitting in Parliament as a Tory, but he has not been officially expelled from the party.

The trial continues.

Now Russian TV host calls for 'regime change' in US after Biden demanded Putin be removed from power - and clamors for 'partner' Donald Trump to be reinstated as president

Russia's 60 Minutes show host Evgeny Popov urged Americans to replace president Joe Biden with former President Donald Trump

The state TV host also called Trump a 'partner' to the Russian state

It comes days after Joe Biden made a similar declaration when he called on Russians to remove President Vladimir Putin from power

Biden's off-scripted remarks were slammed for further inciting Russian aggression in Ukraine and hurting possible future negotiations

A Russian state TV host called on the U.S. to remove President Joe Biden and reinstate former President Donald Trump days after Biden made his own call for a regime change aimed at Vladimir Putin in an off-scripted remark.

On Tuesday, The TV host of Russia's 60 Minutes show, Evgeny Popov, urged America to quickly replace Biden with Trump, whom he called a 'partner' to the Russian state.

'It's time for us, our people, to call on the people of the United States to change the regime in the U.S. early, and to again help our partner, Trump, to become president,' Popov said.

His statement comes after Biden condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an impassioned speech in Poland on Saturday where he went off-script and made his own shocking declaration for Russians to push out Putin.

'For God's sake this man cannot remain in power,' Biden said.

'Scandal': Germany's Highest Court Admits Covid Vaccines Are Harmful, Even 'Fatal' - Yet Upholds Mandate

The court ruled, If medical workers want to avoid harm from the Covid vaccines, “they are free to resign.”

Beatrix von Storch, the deputy leader of the Alternative for Germany, slammed the Federal Constitutional Court for denying an emergency appeal to end the mandatory vaccination for Medical care workers. The Federal court “no longer protects our basic rights,” exclaimed the leader.

Despite the court admitting in their ruling that the vaccines can cause “serious side effects,” even “death,” they refused to lift the mandate for medical workers, stated Von Storch.

The court stated, If they want to avoid harm from the potentially “fatal” mRNA gene therapy injections, then the “medical workers are free to resign,” explains the AfD Deputy leader.

If the temporary injunction is not granted and the constitutional complaint is later successful, the disadvantages resulting from the application of the challenged regulations are of particular importance. If those affected comply with the obligation to provide evidence imposed on them in Section 20a (2) sentence 1 IfSG and consent to vaccination, this triggers physical reactions and can at least temporarily impair their physical well-being. In individual cases, serious vaccination side effects can also occur, which in extreme exceptional cases can also be fatal (cf. Safety Report of the Paul Ehrlich Institute of February 7, 2022 – Suspected cases of side effects and vaccination complications after vaccination to protect against COVID-19 since the start of the vaccination campaign on December 27, 2020, until December 31, 2021 – pp. 5, 8 f., 28 ff.). A vaccination that has taken place is irreversible even if the constitutional complaint is successful.

However, the law does not inescapably require those affected to be vaccinated. For those who wish to avoid vaccination, it is true that this may temporarily involve a change in the activity or job previously performed or even the abandonment of the profession. However, the complainants have not shown that the professional disadvantages that may occur in the limited time until the decision in the main action are irreversible or very difficult to revise or otherwise very serious; this is also not otherwise apparent – at least for the period mentioned. In addition, economic disadvantages suffered by individuals as a result of the enforcement of a law are in principle not suitable as grounds for suspending the application of standards (see BVerfG, Order of the First Senate of January 24, 2022 – 1 BvR 2380/21 and others -, para. 39 with further references).

Germany Scrambles To Ration Gas After Refusing To Make Payments In Rubles

Update (1140ET): It looks like Moscow is making headway with its demands that “hostile states” (aka its European customers) start paying for their gas in rubles. According to Bloomberg, Putin and German Chancellor Scholz have agreed to let “experts on both sides” discuss the feasibility of Russia’s demand that Germany switches to rubles for its gas payments, according to an emailed statement from the Kremlin.

Both leaders have agreed that switching to ruble payments shouldn’t deteriorate contract terms for European importers of Russian gas (meaning that the price should remain stable regardless of which currency is used for payment and settlement). Putin also updated Scholz on the state of talks between Russia and Ukraine.

But Scholz isn’t the only European leader who appears to be seriously considering Putin’s demands. Italian leader Mario Draghi is also reportedly considering Putin’s demands.

Biden to receive second COVID-19 booster shot Wednesday

President Biden will receive his second COVID-19 booster shot on Wednesday afternoon, a day after it was authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for his age group.

The White House said Biden will receive the shot after delivering remarks about the fight against the pandemic. The dose will be administered by a member of the White House medical unit, a spokesperson said.

The FDA on Tuesday authorized a second COVID-19 vaccine booster shot for those aged 50 and older. The agency said anyone in this age group can get a second booster dose of mRNA vaccine four months or more after receiving a first booster shot.

Biden, 79, similarly received his first booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine on camera at the end of September after it was authorized.

The president is scheduled to deliver a speech about the pandemic from the White House on Wednesday afternoon that will highlight a new “one-stop shop” website designed to help Americans access coronavirus vaccines, tests, treatments and masks.

The White House is currently grappling with its own COVID-19 cases. White House press secretary Jen Psaki and principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have stayed away from the West Wing after testing positive for the virus. Both women are vaccinated and boosted and said to be experiencing mild symptoms.

The White House takes special precautions to protect Biden from the virus, including testing those who come in contact with him for COVID-19. Biden is also tested semi-regularly and tested negative earlier this week.

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told reporters Tuesday that Biden would test more often this week following his trip to Europe.

US reportedly allowed in dozens of Russians at southern border in secret deal with Mexico

The Russians, who fled their country following the outbreak of the war with Ukraine, had been camped out near the Tijuana border.

Nearly three-dozen Russian nationals who fled their home country following the outbreak of the war with Ukraine reportedly were secretly permitted to enter the United States via Mexico after a deal was struck between U.S. and Mexican authorities.

The 35 Russians were delivered to the border under cover of night earlier this month and handed directly over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, according to a report in Vice.

The handoff is an apparent circumvention of the Title 42 laws that effectively denies asylum seekers at the border due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Biden administration has recently signaled that Title 42 laws will soon cease to be in effect, which will result in a surge in migrants applications for asylum coming from Central American countries as well as Ukraine and Russia.

Prior to being let into the U.S., the group of Russians reportedly spent a week camped out on the streets of Tijuana, close to the U.S. border that leads into San Diego.

After arriving in the U.S., the group was held in a detention center for several days before being let go and free to live relatively normal lives while awaiting their immigration hearings.

The deal between the U.S. and Mexico was reportedly arranged because of a growing encampment of Russians outside the San Ysidro Port of Entry. In exchange for passage into the U.S., the encampment was cleared away.

The State Department has thus far not commented on the special arrangement that was negotiated to allow in the Russians.

Ukrainian S-300 Systems Are Blown Up By Russian Missiles Amid Diplomatic Obscurity

Despite alarming reports about the results of the March 29 round of the Ukrainian-Russian talks in Turkey, the Armed Forces of Russia continues their military operation in Ukraine.

On March 30, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that a strike with high-precision air-launched missiles destroyed large fuel depots in the Starokonstantinov and Khmelnytsky regions, from which fuel was supplied for the grouping of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbass.

Also, a strike with the operational-tactical missile system “Iskander” destroyed two large depots of missile and artillery weapons in the village of Kamenka, Donetsk Region.

The Defense Ministry added that in the area of ​​Tumen, Rivne Region, a Su-24 of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down during an air battle.

During the past day, the air defense of the Russian Aerospace Forces reportedly destroyed 10 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the areas of the settlements of Izyum, Novaya Kakhovka, Donetsk, Nikolaev, Berdyansk, Gorlovka, Lugansk and Rubizhne.

At the same time, Russian operational-tactical aviation and missile forces hit 64 military facilities of Ukraine. This included four command posts, including the headquarters of the Ukrainian special operations forces in the area of ​​​​the village of Bereznigovatoe, Mykolaiv Region, three anti-aircraft missile systems – one S-300 near the town of Malin, Zhytomyr region and two – “Buk-M1” in the areas of Ugledar and Slavyansk.

Three installations of multiple launch rocket systems, two artillery batteries and 49 areas of concentration of Ukrainian military equipment and strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were also destroyed.

The Russian military says that since the beginning of the military operation, Russian forces have destroyed 124 aircraft and 77 helicopters, 214 anti-aircraft missile systems, 321 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,752 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 184 multiple rocket launchers, 734 field artillery guns and mortars, as well as 1,640 units of special military vehicles.

The Russian Defense Ministry also addressed the propaganda campaign waged by the Ukrainian government:

Senators Urge US to Halt UN Probe into Alleged War Crimes During Gaza Bombing

Sixty-eight senatorssigned a letter sent to Biden administration saying UN investigation is part of 'continuing bias against Israel'

A bipartisan group of 68 US senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, calling on the Biden administration to lead an effort to end a United Nations commission that is probing alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians.

The lawmakers, led by Democratic Senator Ben Cardin and Republican Rob Portman, said that the investigation, which was announced following Israel’s bombing of Gaza last May, is a part of “continuing bias against Israel” and is taking up a “disproportionate use of resources in an ongoing campaign to disparage, discredit and denounce Israel”.

It follows a similar effort made by House lawmakers in January.

“An important step in this regard would be to redirect the wasteful use of funds and personnel on excessive devotion to disparaging Israel to allow the UN Human Rights Council to fairly promote human rights around the world,” said the letter sent on Monday.

“We write to urge you to prioritize reversing the UN Human Rights Council’s discriminatory and unwarranted treatment of Israel by leading a multinational effort in the Council and in the UN to end the permanent Commission of Inquiry on the Israeli Palestinian conflict.”

Last year, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) agreed to launch an investigation with a broad mandate to probe all alleged violations Israel had committed against Palestinians following its May offensive on Gaza, which killed 260 Palestinians, including 66 children, according to the UN.

The investigators, who have been tasked with trying to identify those responsible for violations and ensure they are held accountable, are due to present their first report in June.

The senators went on to write that the commission “will also have a carte blanche mandate – in perpetuity – to examine any period in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict about violations not only in the West Bank and Gaza, but also within Israel’s pre-1967 borders”.

“By unfairly singling out Israel, the UNHRC undermines its credibility to investigate human rights violations around the world,” they continued.

Hunter Biden Dam About To Burst? WaPo, CNN Go Scorched Earth Over 'Laptop From Hell'

Something strange is going on with the Hunter Biden laptop story.

As regular ZeroHedge readers know, the New York Post was excommunicated from social media shortly before the 2020 US election by Big Tech for reporting on shady international business dealings by the Biden family - particularly in Ukraine and China, contained within a trove of emails, text messages, photographs and financial documents that were on a laptop Hunter abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in April 2019.

Covering for the Bidens to help him win the 2020 election, people like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) insisted it was Russian propaganda, and outlets which reported on the laptop were smeared as conspiracy theorists.

More than 50 'former senior intelligence officials' signed a pre-election letter proclaiming the laptop story 'has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.'

The Tide Turns

Two weeks ago, the New York Times confirmed the laptop exists, and is legit - and confirmed several previously reported aspects of the story, including correspondence between Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer, both of whom served on the board Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.

Today, the Washington Post and CNN are piling on - with the post confirming yet-more details of the laptop contents, and CNN running a blistering segment and reporting that the federal investigation into Hunter is 'heating up.'
