Explosive Report: Wuhan Biolab Captured Bats From Caves Traced To COVID-19 Outbreak, Had US Funding

 

Recent findings regarding the origin of COVID-19 continue to support our January reporting that the disease may have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology - which was experimenting with bat coronavirus found to be 96% genetically identical to COVID-19.

 

On Saturday, the Daily Mail added an important piece to the puzzle; the institute was experimenting on mammals captured over 1,000 miles away in Yunnan - which is particularly notable because genetic analysis of COVID-19's genome has traced it to horseshoe bats found in Yunnan's caves

 

Also disturbing is that the lab had been operating in part on a $3.7 million grant from the US government.

 

The Mail on Sunday has learned that scientists there experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, which continues to licence the Wuhan laboratory to receive American money for experiments.

 

Results of the research were published in November 2017 under the heading: 'Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus.'

 

The exercise was summarised as: 'Bats in a cave in Yunnan, China were captured and sampled for coronaviruses used for lab experiments. All sampling procedures were performed by veterinarians with approval from the Animal Ethics Committee of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.' -Daily Mail

 

"Bat samplings were conducted ten times from April 2011 to October 2015 at different seasons in their natural habitat at a single location (cave) in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. Bats were trapped and faecal swab samples were collected," the paper continues.

OPEC+ strikes last-minute deal to cut almost 10 mln barrels a day of oil production - Kuwait oil minister

 

After four days of marathon talks, major global oil producers have finally inked an agreement to slash oil output by 10 million barrels per day, in a bid to boost the energy market amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil-producing states outside of the cartel reached the agreement on Sunday evening.

 

"We now announce the completion of the historic agreement to reduce production by approximately 10 million barrels of oil per day from members of "OPEC +" starting from May 1, 2020," Kuwaiti Oil Minister Khaled al-Fadhel announced on Twitter. Shortly afterwards, the bloc confirmed the news.

 

The cut will protect oil producers from falling prices, triggered both by de-facto OPEC head Saudi Arabia flooding global markets with oil, and by falling demand amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

OPEC and its allies had been trying to hammer out an accord since Thursday. While the first round of the virtual talks resulted in an agreement on the biggest supply cuts in history – 10 million barrels per day (bpd) amounting to around 10 percent of global supply – they ended without a resolution due to a disagreement with Mexico.

 

Mexico City refused to slash production by 400,000 bpd as asked and abruptly abandoned Thursday’s emergency meeting. One day later, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador came up with a plan of his own, saying his country would reduce production four times less than the cartel demanded, while an additional 250,000 would be compensated by the US.

30%-50% Of Patients In Chicago Tested For COVID-19 Already Have Antibodies In System

 

Testing at a hospital in Chicago found that 30-50% of patients who have been tested for COVID-19 have antibodies in their system, which means they likely already had the virus and are immune, at least for an unknown period of time.

 

“A phlebotomist working at Roseland Community Hospital said Thursday that 30% to 50% of patients tested for the coronavirus have antibodies while only around 10% to 20% of those tested have the active virus,” Chicago City Wire reported on Thursday.

 

Sumaya Owaynat, a phlebotomy technician, said she tests between 400 and 600 patients on an average day in the parking lot at Roseland Community Hospital. Drive-thru testing is from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. each day. However, the hospital has a limited number of tests they can give per day.

 

Owaynat said the number of patients coming through the testing center who appear to have already had coronavirus and gotten over it is far greater than those who currently have the disease.

 

“A lot of people have high antibodies, which means they had the coronavirus but they don’t have it anymore and their bodies built the antibodies,” Owaynat told Chicago City Wire.

 

More than 500,000 Americans have tested positive for COVID-19, and more than 20,000 have died. According to one model, the number of deaths per day peaked on Friday and will begin to fall.

 

A key to re-opening the U.S. economy will be testing to find out who already has had the virus (some reports say up to 50% of those who have contracted SARS-CoV-2 show no symptoms). Those with antibodies can return to work as they’ll be immune to the virus.

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already begun preliminary studies to try to find out who is carrying antibodies.

Soldier praised as a hero at El Paso Walmart shooting is found dead

 

The 23-year-old had been honored by President Trump

 

A 23-year-old soldier who was honored by President Donald Trump for his heroic actions during the El Paso Walmart mass murder last August was found dead this week.

 

Army Pfc. Glendon Oakley Jr. was heralded as a hero, and the United States Army awarded him the Army Commendation Medal for his actions during a mass murder on Aug. 3, 2019, in Texas.

 

The Fort Bliss soldier was credited with saving children as gunfire erupted at a Walmart in El Paso. Oakley was shopping at the Foot Locker in the Cielo Vista Mall, across from the Walmart. Once he heard the gunfire, Oakley Jr. drew his weapon and ran outside of the store. He allegedly saw children running and screaming, so he herded the children to safety.

 

"It was a whole bunch of kids in there," Oakley said after the tragedy. "I hope nothing happened to the kids. I tried to pick up as many as I could and bring them out with me."

 

"I pulled my gun out," Oakley continued. "When I hear gunshots I just think … take cover, save whoever you can."

 

The mass killing resulted in 22 deaths and 24 people injured.

 

On Wednesday, Oakley was found dead in his quarters at Fort Bliss, an Army base in El Paso. On Friday, Fort Bliss officials confirmed Oakley's death, but they did not provide many details.

 

"At this point in the investigation, foul play in not suspected," post officials said in a statement. "No further information will be released at this time to protect the integrity of the investigative process."

 

Oakley's death is under investigation by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

 

Oakley would later meet President Trump, who said, "What a job he did. You'll be a movie star, the way you look."

 

Two months after the incident, Oakley was arrested on a deserter warrant for going absent without leave. "Pfc. Oakley was absent without leave and was apprehended pursuant to a military administrative warrant," Army Master Sgt. Vin Stevens said in a statement. "Pfc. Oakley is in police custody pending return to Ft Bliss where the chain of command is prepared to receive the Soldier and address the issue according to applicable laws, regulation, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

 

Oakley was awarded the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Rifle Marksmanship Badge, according to Army Times.

Bad Apple? 4 Cops in 1 Dept. Accused of Drugging, Raping at Least 7 Women

 

St. Louis, MO — The number of women who accuse four St. Louis police officers of raping them currently stands at seven. Three of the women are police officers themselves. All seven are now seeking justice against the cops they say raped them.

 

Allegations of rape by the cops go back a decade. After the women came forward the St. Louis Police Department placed four officers on administrative duty. They will all be receiving their salaries as the investigation progresses. According to KSDK News, at least one of the cops allegedly drugged and raped his fellow coworkers:

 

So far, multiple victims have come forward with accusations against the officers, including allegations that some of them were drugged and then raped, according to documents obtained by 5 On Your Side. One of the officers is accused of sexually assaulting six women – four of them were police department employees, including civilians and officers, according to the documents.

 

Unfortunately, the identities of the officers is being protected by the department while the allegations are being investigated — supposedly. But much is known about the allegations which we at TFTP will now summarize for our readers.

 

The first female officer said she was raped by a St. Louis PD officer on January 17th. She reported the crime to internal affairs claiming the alleged rapist cop had his way with her in the back of his truck outside Mimi’s Subway Bar & Grill in Ferguson at about 1:30 a.m. The St. Louis County Police Department has been conducting the criminal investigation while the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, Wesley Bell, reportedly is gathering all the available information on the alleged rape.

 

A former police department employee (civilian or officer status unknown) reported to police she had been raped some time between 6 and 8 pm on the 15th of December 2019. No further information is known at this time about her allegation. The same officer was accused twice of rape in 2010 (once by a fellow female officer) and again in 2012 but was somehow allowed to keep his position within the police department. To be clear, the St. Louis police officer is accused of raping four women over a 10-year period. He can only be characterized as an alleged serial rapist at this point, if the allegations are true, allowed to keep his job presumably because of his badge. KSDK described the 2012 incident:

 

[The victim] said this officer sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious inside her West End neighborhood apartment. In that case, the victim told police she confronted the officer about his actions, but that he left her apartment without explaining himself. She reported her case to police in 2012 and to Internal Affairs four days after it happened.

 

Not to be the only cop raping women all by himself, the officer we just described is also accused of raping another woman in 2010 alongside a fellow male officer in gang-rape fashion inside his own home. That alleged rape was also reported to Internal Affairs but just like the other four women he is accused of raping, nothing happened to either officer. Neither one was criminally charged and their rape complaints were sealed.

AWFUL! Disgusting Dr. Fauci UNLOADS on Trump on EASTER SUNDAY — “Lives Could Have Been Saved!”

 

It was only a matter of time.

Dr. Anthony Fauci UNLOADED on President Trump on Easter Sunday.

 

The controversial doctor and head of the NIH slammed President Trump on CNN.

 

What a DISGRACE!

 

This is the same doctor who has been wrong EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

 

 

WHITE House coronavirus expert Dr Tony Fauci said Sunday lives could have been saved if US had been shut down earlier.

 

Speaking on CNN, the immunologist said the US could start to reopen next month, but warned a second wave of the virus could still hit the country.

 

During the interview, Fauci revealed that the government had been advised to begin social distancing measures in February.

 

President Trump announced plans to roll out “self-isolating” in mid March.

 

“We look at it from a pure health standpoint,” Fauci said. “We make a recommendation, often the recommendation is taken, sometimes it’s not.

 

“But it is what it is.”

 

Fauci was then asked if lives could have been saved if stay at home measures had started in February, rather than almost a month later.

 

“Obviously you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier you could’ve saved lives, obviously,” he replied.

 

“No-one is going to deny that.

 

“But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”

Courier With Coronavirus Samples Crashes On I-195 In Massachusetts

 

As the US scrambles to ramp up both testing capacity and the speed at which results are delivered, one courier in New England was perhaps taking this directive a little too seriously when he crashed on Interstate I-195 in Seekonk, Mass, near the Rhode Island border on Tuesday morning. However, in some long overdue good news, none of the test samples inside the car were damaged, according to CBSN Boston.

 

Massachusetts State Police sent a hazardous materials team to examine the samples and the team determined that they "were not compromised" and the container holding them was intact.

 

The courier, who was driving a Honda Civic, bumped into a tractor-trailer on the westbound side of 1-95 at Exit 1 around 7:50 am. The contact caused the Honda to spin out and hit an ambulance carrying a 70-year-old patient. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

 

“Initial observations of a liquid spill led first responders to suspect the samples may have spilled and a state hazardous materials response team responded to the scene,” State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said in a statement.

 

“Further investigation by the hazmat team revealed that the spilled liquid was the Honda driver’s coffee, and that the container holding the samples was intact and undamaged, as were the samples inside.”

 

The driver, a 49-year-old woman from Rhode Island, was taken to the hospital as a precaution for potential exposure to the virus.

 

Another courier was called and ended up delivering the samples to their destination.

 

It wasn't immediately clear if there is now an Uber Delivery service for coronaviruses (although we are confident a lightbulb is going off above the head of some cash strapped San Fran VC) or why couriers carrying biohazardous equipment are taking leisurely strolls in Honda Civics. Then again, imagine if the woman was driving a Tesla…

Schiff: I Am ‘Diving Deeply’ into What Warnings Trump Ignored on Coronavirus

 

Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said he would investigate what warnings from the intelligence community and health organizations that President Donald Trump ignored in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

On “real-time oversight,” Schiff said, “We are right now going through our intelligence holdings. What did the intelligence community make us aware of at the end of last year or earlier this year? Other committees are doing like analyses.”

 

He continued, “It is very important, I think, in reviewing the intelligence component to this to realize the intelligence piece is just one piece of the warnings coming to the administration. A lot of those warnings were in the public domain. They came from public health organizations, like WHO or CDC or his own National Security Council, and ignored those warnings.”

 

He added, “We are diving deeply into what does the intelligence community know, what resources we would bring there, and what do we need to do prospectively to better protect the country in the future. That last piece, how do we protect the country in the future, is really the mission of that independent commission we based on, we used the model the 9/11 commission.”

Greek authorities think Erdoğan regime plans to push virus-infected migrants to EU

 

The Hellenic Armed Forces, Coast Guard, and Police are on high alert after government officials received intel that Turkish regime leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is planning a “sea Evros” as thousands of migrants gather in towns and cities along Turkey’s Aegean coastline.

 

According to a report from Greek newspaper Kathimerini which cites “sources that cannot be named but which are considered reliable”, the Erdoğan regime is planning to push virus-infected migrants to Greece and other EU member states.

 

The same sources also say that thousands of migrants, many of whom were present at last month’s border crisis at Kastanies and Pazarkule, have been moved from migrant camps in the interior of the Turkey to the country’s coastal regions. Turkish authorities are said to be overseeing the migrant’s movement toward the coastline.

 

The fact that the Hellenic Coast Guard has blocked 21 ships full of illegal immigrant in the past two weeks near the area of Lesbos and Agothonisi supports the information put forward by Kathimerini’s sources. Furthermore, the accumulation of migrants along the Turkish coastline also seems confirm that Erdogan is preparing swamp Greece’s eastern Aegean islands with migrants.

 

Authorities in Greece have also collected information which suggests various NGOs are also helping migrants in Turkey make their way illegally to Greece.

 

Earlier this month, Turkey threatened to send back migrants to the Greek border as soon as the global COVID-19 pandemic has ended, as Voice of Europe reported.

 

“When the coronavirus pandemic is over, we are not going to deter any immigrants who want to return to the Greek-Turkish border in Pazar,” Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu.

‘Stunning’ And ‘Unconstitutional’: Judge Grants Restraining Order After KY Mayor Vowed To Record License Plates Of Easter Church Goers

 

A federal judge has granted a restraining order against Louisville, Kentucky Major Greg Fischer.

Fischer promised to record the license plates of Easter church goers.

“The Mayor’s decision is stunning,” Judge Justin Walker said, “And it is,’beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional.”

 

A federal judge granted a restraining order against a Kentucky mayor who promised to record the license plates of Easter church goers, calling the order “unconstitutional.”

 

U.S. District Court Judge Justin Walker granted the temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer from blocking Easter drive-in-services at On Fire Church, the non-profit public interest law firm First Liberty Institute announced in a Saturday press release.

 

According to First Liberty, the Louisville church had been hosting drive-in-church services for several weeks consistent with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coronavirus guidelines.

 

The order prevents Louisville from “enforcing; attempting to enforce; threatening to enforce; or otherwise requiring compliance with any prohibition on drive-in church services at On Fire,” court documents show.

 

The judge condemned Fischer’s order in a memorandum opinion that compared the order to a report from the satirical publication, “The Onion.”

 

“That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion,” Walker said.

 

“But two days ago, citing the need for social distancing during the current pandemic, Louisville’s Mayor Greg Fischer ordered Christians not to attend Sunday services, even if they remained in their carsto worship –and even though it’s Easter.”

 

“The Mayor’s decision is stunning,” the opinion concludes. “And it is,’beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional.”

 

Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear had announced that the state would enforce stay-at-home measure by recording the license plates of any person attending Easter services.

 

“This is a time and weekend, a whole week for multiple faiths, that is about faith. It’s about knowing we have faced as people – as Christians, as Jews, as members of many faiths – many difficult, dark times, and we have prevailed,” Beshear said Friday.

Pope Francis: ‘The Whole World Is Suffering’ Because of the Pandemic

 

ROME — Pope Francis devoted much of his Easter blessing on Sunday to the coronavirus pandemic, insisting that now is a time for unity, solidarity, and hope.

 

In his “Urbi et Orbi” blessing, the pope first addressed those directly affected by the coronavirus — the sick and family members who mourn the loss of their loved ones — asking “the Lord of life” to welcome the departed into his kingdom and to grant comfort and hope to those still suffering, “especially the elderly and those who are alone.”

 

“For many, this is an Easter of solitude lived amid the sorrow and hardship that the pandemic is causing, from physical suffering to economic difficulties,” he said via live-streaming. “This disease has not only deprived us of human closeness, but also of the possibility of receiving in person the consolation that flows from the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist and Reconciliation.”

 

“The Lord has not left us alone!” Francis said. “United in our prayer, we are convinced that he has laid his hand upon us, firmly reassuring us: Do not be afraid, ‘I have risen and I am with you still!’”

 

The pontiff also underscored the sweeping nature of the pandemic, since everyone has been affected by the lockdown measures that have radically changed people’s way of living.

 

“In these weeks, the lives of millions of people have suddenly changed,” he said. And while for some remaining at home has been an opportunity to reflect away from the frenetic pace of life, for many, “this is also a time of worry about an uncertain future, about jobs that are at risk and about other consequences of the current crisis.”

 

“This is not a time for indifference,” he continued, “because the whole world is suffering and needs to be united in facing the pandemic.”

 

The pope also called for a relaxing of international sanctions, “since these make it difficult for countries on which they have been imposed to provide adequate support to their citizens,” while also calling for a reduction of “the debt burdening the balance sheets of the poorest nations.”

 

In the midst of his address, the pope reasserted his support for the European Union, urging member states to see themselves as “part of a single family.”

 

“The European Union is presently facing an epochal challenge, on which will depend not only its future but that of the whole world,” he said. “Let us not lose the opportunity to give further proof of solidarity, also by turning to innovative solutions. The only alternative is the selfishness of particular interests and the temptation of a return to the past, at the risk of severely damaging the peaceful coexistence and development of future generations.”

 

“This is not a time for self-centeredness, because the challenge we are facing is shared by all, without distinguishing between persons,” he said.

 

As is his custom, the pope also took public inventory of areas of the world where suffering is particularly intense, asking for prayers for all of them.

 

In this, he specifically mentioned Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Palestinians, Ukraine, African countries, Mozambique, Libya, Greece, Turkey, and Venezuela. As on other occasions, he refrained from mentioning ongoing strife in Hong Kong.

 

The world is “faced with epochal challenges and now oppressed by a pandemic severely testing our whole human family,” he said. “In this night, the Church’s voice rings out: ‘Christ, my hope, is risen!’”

 

“May Christ, who has already defeated death and opened for us the way to eternal salvation, dispel the darkness of our suffering humanity and lead us into the light of his glorious day, a day that knows no end,” he concluded.

Six people shot at California house party that violated stay-at-home order

 

Six people were shot, including a juvenile, at a large house party in California that violated the state's stay-at-home order.

The shooting took place just before 12:30 a.m. on Saturday at an apartment complex in Bakersfield, in southern California, the Kern County Sheriff's Office said in a press release.

Investigators found 94 shell casings and three live rounds at the scene, according to The Associated Press.

The victims included four women and one man along with and a juvenile female. They have all been taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the department said. Authorities are searching for four suspects.

"No arrests have been made at this time, and the investigation is ongoing," the sheriff's office said in its release.

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order on March 19 to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The order says that residents should leave their homes only when necessary.

The state, which has a population of around 40 million, has had more than 21,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection and over 590 fatalities as of Saturday afternoon.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: The Stock Market is NOT The Economy

 

You are probably wondering why the stock market has had any rallies at all, let alone ones this big, considering how bad things are looking. And obviously no one can tell exactly where the market should/shouldn’t be. Nothing really makes sense now. But here are just some things to consider.

 

 

First, the stock market didn’t drop JUST directly because of Coronavirus infection count / death count expectations, and expectations of bad earnings.

 

There were several combined factors that stacked on top of each other, kind of like a chain reaction. (This isn’t an exhaustive list)

 

Easily Predicted / Expected Results:

 

People greatly reducing spending and staying in

Much Less Revenue for Companies

Drop in oil prices / Energy usage

Some kind of stimulus

Poorly situated companies going bust

 

Not So Expected / Surprises:

 

Saudi / Russia oil fight

Extreme stress in credit market / corporate bonds

Liquidity crisis

Western world being effectively forced to stay home

The fact that all this happened so swiftly at once

 

I’m NOT saying we have / haven’t already reached the bottom. BUT, I will say, I think the initial drop was so big and so fast, not because of the virus, but because of all the “surprise” factors. And a lot of these issues are being, or have been solved.

 

Saudi Arabia and Russia reached an oil deal

The Fed pumped massive liquidity into the market, and bought not just investment grade, but junk corporate bonds (notice how the ‘bottom’ was the day the Fed announced the massive liquidity injection)

We are at least talking about returning to work, even if behavior will be different for a long time

 

So my point is, yes, the market could go down further over the next year. However, I believe this recent rally is because we have at least solved the current major unexpected surprises. All of these things were causing increased uncertainty, which couldn’t be priced in, so everyone just sold everything. The market is always forward looking, and people know this isn’t going to last forever. It can price in bad or even terrible earnings, but it can’t price in what it doesn’t know, and I think this recent situation was a rare instance where everyone knows just how much they don’t know, and that caused a huge spook in the market. With so much uncertainty being relieved, we’re basically just having to deal with how bad earnings will be going forward, but not all the other stuff (of course, there could still be surprises).

Arrested & thrown in jail just for being outside during curfew time now happening. can also be arrested for not wearing facial coverings!

 

This is confirmed happening in Florida, might be elsewhere as well.

 

“At Least 16 Curfew Violation Arrests Made Across Miami-Dade

 

“It’s really ironic to book someone into jail for violating a curfew in the name of public safety, when we’re calling to stop people getting booked into jail in the first place, in the name of public safety,” said Zaina Alsous, with the activist group Dream Defenders.”

 

One such example in link mentions a woman who was standing outside listening to music, she was arrested and throw in jail for being out.

House Arrest - How Much More are You Willing to Take?

 

At what point will you start QUESTIONING what's going on? How far does the government have to push before you're jolted awake from your slumber? How far are you willing to go with this?

 

We're seeing the most draconian measures enforced at all levels of government that we've ever seen in our lifetimes, and yet rather than being alarmed, so many of you applaud.

 

People are being arrested for spending too much time outside, and you applaud.

 

Pastors are being arrested for daring to hold church services, and you applaud.
