Former EcoHealth Alliance VP says Fauci-funded group 'developed' COVID-19

Former Army infantryman, DHS research fellow Andrew Huff says Wuhan lab funder laid out "the process of developing" SARS-CoV-2 for Fauci's NIAID before it received funding.

A former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization "developed" SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous.

"The process of developing SARS-COV2 was also described in detail in the proposal submitted to, and ultimately funded by, the National Institutes of Health (HHS NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), by EcoHealth Alliance with the WIV and [University of North Carolina] listed as collaborators," according to the sworn declaration of Andrew Huff, who is represented by the attorney Thomas Renz.

The statement is included in a much larger packet dated Sept. 12 posted by Renz, who represents clients challenging COVID-19 mandates, apparently directed to Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, whose name is in the file name. The packet has irregular punctuation and capitalization throughout.

"Anthony Fauci funded the creation of SARS-COV2 and lied to Congress about funding Gain-of-Function work," Renz wrote in the summary – a claim also recently made by former CDC Director Robert Redfield. "Anthony Fauci and others coordinated to cover-up the funding of the Gain-of-Function work that resulted in SARS-COV2."

Huff, a former U.S. Army infantryman in Iraq and former research fellow in the Department of Homeland Security, shared the full packet on Twitter, saying it was "sent to the US Senate and Congress last week." He has a book coming out this fall from Simon and Schuster, "The Truth About Wuhan."

Bankwest announces all east coast branches will close by end of October as customers flock to digital services

One of Australia's own banks is closing the doors to all of its east coast branches as customers flock to use its app and digital banking services.

Bankwest has announced it will close all its branches on the east coast of Australia by the end of October amid a winding back of its in-person banking services.

The bank’s decision comes after its 14 branches on the east coast - five in NSW and Victoria, three in Brisbane and one in Adelaide – saw a 64 per cent decline in usage.

Bankwest will now focus on investing further into improving its digital and broker services to support national home loans and on customer needs.

A decline in branch usage was also seen in Western Australia – where most of the Bankwest offices are – with the bank to adjust the opening hours in 29 of its WA branches.

The 29 affected branches will move to two and four-day weeks as customers opt to bank with the digital options.

There was a 33 per cent decline in branch transactions over the past five years while customer app usage rose 31 per cent in the past two years.

Bankwest country hub branches in Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Albany and Bunbury will remain open five days per week.

Jason Chan, Bankwest executive general manager said the decision was made to ensure it could invest further into areas that will benefit the customers the most.

“Customers increasingly expect us to be simpler and easier to bank with via their brokers and our digital and contact centre channels, so it’s critical we meet these expectations,” he said.

“We’re exploring how we continue to get the balance right between supporting those customers who want to use branches while delivering the digital services customers expect of us.

"On the east coast, Bankwest is in a strong position to grow as a homeowner-focused digital bank due to our distinct brand, first class broker services and digital investment plans."

Bankwest general manager for personal banking Scott Spittles added the business was in the process of up-skilling its employees to ensure the transition to a more digital banking experience was seamless.

"We want our talented colleagues, who have incredible customer service skills and experience, to continue to grow their careers with us while living and working in the communities they love,” he said.

Maricopa County Recorder RINO Stephen Richer Gives BS Response 6 Weeks After He Was Censured By Maricopa County Republicans

On Monday, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer issued a contemptuous 17-page response to his formal censure by the Maricopa County Executive Committee.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that on August 4, the Executive Guidance Committee of the Maricopa County Republican Committee voted to censure Richer, citing the “maladministration of his duties,” which “resulted in significant failures (including reports of printers and scanners not working and the Pentel felt-tip pen smearing and not drying), unnecessary delays, and irregularities; all of which significantly tarnishing the reputation of Maricopa County on the national stage.”

The censure also referenced Stephen Richer’s “disregard for the irregularities reported in the Arizona Senate audit of the 2020 Election, and his continued failures in the 2022 Primary Election,” which he claimed was untrue in his response.

However, Richer fought against the Arizona 2020 Election audit every step of the way, in lockstep with the corrupt Maricopa County Supervisors. In a recent triggered Tweet, he also labeled the auditors “idiot, incompetent, immoral fraudsters.”

The resolution to censure Richer passed with 13 “yes” votes and 11 “no” votes.

One week later, the Arizona Legislative District 3 Republicans also voted to censure RINO Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates citing the 2020 Election, the 2022 Primary Election, and his statements rooting for Democrats in the 2022 General Election.

Richer initially responded to his own censure on Twitter by laughing at his own party and saying, “Oh well. I’m fine with it.”

Although he claims that tabulation and election day operations were under the oversight of the County Board of Supervisors, he later admits that he worked “alongside the Board of Supervisors” in 2022, stating that he is “proud” of the job they did together.

We previously reported on the massive voter fraud concerns and voter irregularities that occurred the moment polls opened on Primary Election Day in Maricopa County. This included a faulty and inconsistent pen recommendation at the polls, ballot printer malfunctions, unsolicited mail-in ballots, and voters being told they already voted. These issues led to some voters being turned away from the polls or told to visit a different polling location.

Other counties across the state saw similar issues, like in Pinal County, where they ran out of ONLY REPUBLICAN ballots and turned voters away or made them wait hours.

Now, Richer is playing the victim and deflecting the blame as more information is uncovered about the election, including Maricopa County’s unfair and potentially illegal hiring of more Democratic poll watchers than Republicans.

Last week, we reported that Maricopa County hired over 100 more Democrats than Republicans for the August Primary Election, leaving some polling locations with no Republican poll workers.

Putin's Major Wartime Speech Postponed In Highly Unusual Move

(Update1600ET): In a highly unusual move, after about two hours of waiting for Russian President Vladimir Putin to give a highly anticipated speech, Kremlin sources have said it has been postponed until tomorrow. Curiously, Russia's Channel One and RT within the last minutes have even removed the speech announcement. "Go to sleep," RT editor Margarita Simonyan wrote on Telegram.

Amid continued speculation over the nature of what was likely to signal major changes in the way Russia is executing its "special operation" in Ukraine, including the likelihood that Putin was to declare and confirm popular referendums toward joining the Russian federation across occupied parts of Ukraine, one question remains: was he poised to issue formal declaration of war? Perhaps there was last-minute internal Kremlin scrambling and second-guessing? Possibly top decision-makers representing the US and NATO reached out in a last-ditch negotiation offer and effort to avoid full war?

Andrey Kartapolov, the chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, has Tuesday evening been cited as suggesting "There will be no general mobilization, but martial law may be imposed in some places."

It remains that a lot happened on Tuesday, with things seeming to lead to some kind of climactic declaration, anticipated as centered on Putin's now rescheduled speech. As a BBC Moscow correspondent summarizes of how fast events have been moving early this week:

Parliament passes law introducing concepts of mobilization & martial law

Rebel 'republics' in east Ukraine (under Kremlin control) announce "referenda" on joining Russia for 23-27 Sept

Putin urges industry to boost weaponry production

Pop legend Alla Pugacheva may be investigated under 'discrediting Russian armed forces' law for anti-war post

Army recruitment center for foreign citizens to be set up at Moscow migrant center

Parliament approves law for such recruits to receive Russian passports

There are unconfirmed reports that the speech could yet come by early Wednesday…
