Rep. Jim Jordan Calls on Pompeo State Department — Release Documents Tying Suspected Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella to Hunter Biden and Burisma!

Representative Jim Jordan requested the US State Department under Mike Pompeo to turn over documents related to Obama Deep State employee Eric Ciaramella and Ukrainian firm Burisma.

Sara Carter reported overnight:

Republicans are demanding that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo turn over a broad scope of unredacted Obama-Biden State Department documents pertaining to the corrupt Ukrainian company that was at the center of the impeachment inquiry earlier this year against President Donald Trump.

In a document sent to Pompeo, Jordan wrote:

“I write regarding documents that the State Department recently released pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),” stated Jordan, in a letter to Pompeo on Thursday. “Although these documents are partially redacted, they appear to shed new light on the actions of State Department employees during the Obama-Biden Administration in relation to the corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, and its founder, Mykola Zlochevsky.”

Jordan requested that the information be delivered to the committee by May 28. He asked for:

Unredacted copies of all documents released pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act relating to Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, or Hunter Biden;

All documents and communications referring or relating to Burisma Holdings or Mykola Zlochevsky for the period January 1, 2014, to January 20, 2017; and

All documents and communications referring or relating to Hunter Biden, Christopher Heinz, or Devon Archer for the period January 1, 2014, to January 20, 2017.

According to Jordan the State Department documents also reveal that the alleged “whistleblower” who began the partisan impeachment against Trump “also played a role in facilitating the Obama-Biden Administration’s interactions with the Ukrainian government relating to Burisma and Hunter Biden.”

Jordan told Pompeo that the documents reportedly detail “how the ‘whistleblower,’ as a National Security Council (NSC) detailee, hosted a White House meeting that took place with Ukrainian prosecutors in January 2016 regarding a concern that Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma could complicate a potential prosecution of the company’s wrongdoing.”

We first reported on the meeting at the White House involving the suspected fraudulent impeachment whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, in early November 2019.

According to Stephen McIntyre a demand that Ukrainian top prosecutor Viktor Shokin be fired as a condition for an IMF loan, almost certainly originated with Biden staff.

The demand was first announced to Ukrainian prosecutors at a January 19, 2016 meeting with US officials hosted by Eric Ciaramella.

This Is Revealing: Former CIA Director John Brennan Praises FBI Director Chris Wray – Tells Him to “Stay Strong”

As Cristina Laila reported on Thursday — Former CIA Director and Spygate ringleader John Brennan lashed out at Trump again on Thursday suggesting the President is a ‘despot.’

CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge on Wednesday obtained the list of Obama operatives who unmasked General Flynn and released it to the public.

Names included former VP Joe Biden, former CIA Director John Brennan, Samantha Power, former DNI chief James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and others.

Brennan’s role in the unmasking of General Flynn was revealed and US Attorney John Durham is now looking at the unmasking list.

Brennan is angry and lashed out at Trump on Thursday morning.

BRENNAN: President Trump’s propaganda & disinformation machine, which operates according to a despot’s playbook, is the most aggressive & odious in history. It far surpasses even Russia’s ability to trample the truth, harm U.S. security, & undermine America’s reputation worldwide.

It was also revealed that Brennan had intel saying Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election because she was more malleable than Donald Trump.

Brennan however suppressed the intel that suggested Russia wanted Hillary to win and ran with narrative that all 17 intel agencies concluded Russia wanted Trump to become president.

The IG report released in December of 2019 confirmed John Brennan did indeed rely on the phony dossier for the ICA report on so-called Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Later in the day the former CIA Director went on television and praised Chris Wray.

Wray has done nothing to clean up the FBI since it was exposed as a corrupt gang of lawless thugs under Obama.

Brennan wants to keep it that way.

John Brennan gave a shout out to FBI Director Chris Wray.

John Brennan: I’m just hoping individuals like Chris Wray who is a remarkable public servant will continue to stay strong in this type of abominable, uh, abominable again abuse of authority.

This tells you all you need to know about Chris Wray.

Bill Gates Explains that the Covid Vaccine will Use Experimental Technology and Permanently Alter Your DNA

Waking Times

“Currently, there are no RNA vaccines approved for human use.” ~Wikipedia

Rather than instruct people on how to improve their overall health or boost their immunity with healthy foods, quality supplements, and physical activity, the powers-that-be are telling the world that the only way to survive the Coronavirus crisis is to rush the development of a vaccine and then inject every human being on the planet.

The U.S. government along with major cities like Chicago are already moving forward with plans to use government resources and the military to distribute hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines to Americans by the end of the year.

At the forefront of this conversation is Bill Gates, who has emerged somehow as the world’s leading expert on pandemics and vaccines. Through his foundation he supports the WHO and the development of new vaccines, and is currently backing a number of pharmaceutical companies as they race to invent the product that will save the world from Covid-19.

Typically, the process of developing, testing and mass producing vaccines takes years, but thanks to newly emerging, experimental technology, Gates hopes to be able to vaccine “7 billion healthy people” in record time.

A new generation of vaccines is emerging as we speak. At present there are no DNA and RNA vaccines approved for human use, but as Gates says in the following post from his personal blog, the time for trying these out on everyone has come. In the following comment he explains the difference between traditional vaccines and DNA/RNA vaccines, which, again, have never been approved for human use:

“Vaccines circumvent this whole process by teaching your body how to defeat a pathogen without ever getting sick. The two most common types—and the ones you’re probably most familiar with—are inactivated and live vaccines. Inactivated vaccines contain pathogens that have been killed. Live vaccines, on the other hand, are made of living pathogens that have been weakened (or “attenuated”). They’re highly effective but more prone to side effects than their inactivated counterparts.

Inactivated and live vaccines are what we consider “traditional” approaches. There are a number of COVID-19 vaccine candidates of both types, and for good reason: they’re well-established. We know how to test and manufacture them.

500,000 Germans apply to take part in Stuttgart lockdown protest, but police RESTRICT rally to 5,000 due to 'social distancing'

The city of Stuttgart has reluctantly agreed to let a demonstration go ahead on Saturday, ordering that masks be worn on public transport and people stay apart, after dissent over the lockdown swept across Germany last weekend.

Five thousand protesters are set to hit the streets of the southwestern city to protest Covid-19 restrictions. And that’s only one percent of the half a million who applied to take part in the rally against Covid-19 prevention measures.

The local government has permitted only a limited number of protestors, and also requires them to maintain social distancing. Anyone caught traveling on public transport without wearing a face mask faces a €300 fine.

Fines have been increased since last week’s demonstration, after Deputy Mayor Martin Schairer branded protesters “irresponsible” for not covering their faces while on buses and trains.

"We weighed up [allowing the protest] intensively,” Schairer said, “It was a balance between protection against infection and freedom of assembly.”

He added that the organizers of the demonstration will be held responsible for ensuring that numbers do not swell beyond the limit, and that all measures were observed, SWR reports. Five hundred stewards, all wearing personal protective equipment, will also be on hand to marshal the event.

Protests against the measures brought in by the federal and state governments have flared up across Germany, despite it having more relaxed restrictions than some other nations across Europe.

Last weekend, more than 130 arrests were made across the country. Police in Berlin collared 86 people after bottles were hurled at officers during a demonstration in Alexanderplatz. Another 45 were arrested outside the Reichstag building, following a separate incident.

Munich and Cologne also saw unrest last weekend, with police accusing the protesters of having a “disregard for the lives of others.”

Vice Fires 155 Journalists In Latest Round Of Layoffs

Following in the footsteps of Quartz, Buzzfeed, Wired and other struggling media companies using the virus as an excuse to make deep cuts, Vice Media is reportedly planning to fire 155 employees, the Wrap reports.

It has been obvious for more than 16 months now - ever since Buzzfeed laid off 15% of its staff early last year after reporting sales growth was far below investor projections, prompting most of its backers to write down the value of their investments and push the company to retool its flailing business strategy. Meanwhile, reports by rival media companies found that Buzzfeed's staff of highly paid journalists (who recently formed "union" to ensure they could protect themselves from a management team that has overvalued their talents at every turn) produced laughably little traffic. In fact, Buzzfeed's biggest traffic-producer was an unpaid teenager from Michigan.

Plot thickening? Member of German elite army unit already probed for weapons cache is now suspected of extremist links

Probed for stockpiling military-issue firearms and ammunition, a non-commissioned officer from Germany’s elite KSK army unit reportedly had close ties to other commandos under scrutiny for glorifying a Nazi past.

Identified only as Philipp Sch. by local media, the 45-year-old sergeant major was arrested this week by the German army’s counterintelligence wing. Detectives uncovered an AK-47 assault rifle, complemented by a sizeable stockpile of ammunition and TNT, at his house in a hamlet in northern Saxony.

The find and the arrest both came amidst a military inquiry into a suspected far-right underground movement in the ranks of the KSK, an elite commando force similar to the British SAS or the American Green Berets.

Now, Spiegel magazine, citing own sources, suggests Philipp Sch. took part in a bizarre 2017 farewell party for a departing KSK commander. Guests – members of the elite unit – were reported to have listened to neo-Nazi tunes, exchanged Hitlerian salutes and threw pigs’ heads.

A police witness who gave a tip-off about the gathering – which came to be known as “pig heads party” among investigators – reportedly described the sergeant major as “Nazi grandpa” because he looked much older than the other men participating.

Previous media reports suggested that the military command has been concerned about the KSK unit, which is estimated to have some 1,000 troops, becoming a hotbed of far-right extremism.

“I Don’t Give a F*ck” – Dana White Does Not Hold Back in Response to New York Times Article Criticizing UFC’s Coronavirus Protocols

UFC president Dana White did not hold back in response to a New York Times article criticizing his Coronavirus protocols.

Dana White was asked about a New York Times article written by Kevin Draper that claimed the UFC was violating its own Coronavirus protocols — and his response was FIRE.

The New York Times criticized the UFC for allowing face-to-face interviews and handshakes with the fighters in the Octagon.

Dana White was also criticized for not wearing a face mask or gloves and other decisions related to testing fighters and personnel for the Coronavirus.

During a post-fight presser on Wednesday, Dana White had some brutal words for Draper.

“Fck that guy. Fck that guy,” Dana White said. “You know what happened with that guy? That guy who’s never covered the sport was writing a story about Endeavor (UFC’s parent company) and then the UFC was one of the Endeavor — you know.”

“And what happened when this guy and this paper covered the UFC –- when they’ve never covered it before? What do you think happened?” White said.

“This f*cking story was huge. They did killer traffic. Now they’re writing stories — three a week, and they’re posting live results. I don’t care what this guy thinks or what he has to say, what he writes. Good for him, he’s pulling traffic.”

When pressed again if he’s worried about the repercussions, Dana White said, “I don’t give a fck. Don’t give a fck.”

“Fair enough.” the reporter said.

OUCH!

Trump salutes his ‘keyboard warriors,’ but has he actually curtailed corporate online censorship?

President Donald Trump has paid his respects to the legions of online meme-makers and “keyboard warriors” who helped him get elected. But among these netizens, many feel the president hasn’t done enough to fight online censorship.

“Thank you to all of my great Keyboard Warriors,” Trump tweeted on Friday. “You are better, and far more brilliant, than anyone on Madison Avenue (Ad Agencies). There is nobody like you!”

Trump barreled into the White House nearly four years ago, his campaign propped up by droves of these “keyboard warriors.” From the meme-makers and trolls of 4Chan to a fanatically loyal base of Twitter fans, Trump essentially enlisted the help of a massive and decentralized ad agency.

Videos chronicling his debate performances and savage put-downs racked up millions of views, and Trump – along with his son Donald Jr – often retweeted this user-created content. Hillary Clinton had Madison Avenue’s best ad agencies; Donald Trump had Pepe the frog.

Zoom and Doom: Company Accused Of Corrupting Bible Class Through Pornographic Zoombombing

There is an interesting case out of San Francisco where one of the oldest churches is suing Zoom Video Communications, Inc. after bible classes were interrupted by pranksters “zoombombing” with pornographic images. Saint Paulus Lutheran Church filed a complaint in federal court to lay the foundation for a class action.

The elderly participated were shocked to suddenly have an array of pornographic images described in the complaint: “The footages were sick and sickening — portraying adults engaging in sex acts with each other and performing sex acts on infants and children, in addition to physically abusing them.”

While the church said that “Zoom did nothing,” the company responded to the contrary:

“We were deeply upset to hear about this incident, and our hearts go out to those impacted by this horrific event. Words cannot express how strongly we condemn such behavior. On the same day we learned of this incident, we identified the offender, took action to block their access to the platform and reported them to relevant authorities.”

The lawsuit alleges privacy violations and seeks injunctive relief to prevent Zoom from engaging in negligent business practices.

The question is whether the users should be deemed aware of such a vulnerability when using an open conferencing product. Zoom is suggesting that it can trace pranksters after-the-fact but that such conferencing has inherent vulnerabilities. It has also increased security and created educational posts on how to prevent uninvited participants. Yet, users insist that the company has a flawed product that has exposed users to the loss of privacy and disruptions in their meetings.

This could make for a fascinating case if the church can show that there were always programs or fixes that could have prevented such intrusions. The class action may help on damages. It is not clear what the damages for a pornographic Bible class would be in terms of emotional distress, negligence, and grossly impure thoughts.

Blaze rips through chemical plant near Venice, residents warned to block windows with damp rags to stop TOXIC SMOKE

An explosion at a chemical plant in the industrial zone of Malcontenta, near Venice, has triggered a major emergency response operation, with residents asked to shelter in place and block their windows with damp rags.

At least one worker was seriously injured at the chemical plant, after a tank reportedly exploded at approximately 11.30am local time on Friday morning.

Firefighters and biohazard response units from Venice and Treviso are currently on scene, with multiple ambulances, helicopters and special rescue teams deployed to the site.

A security cordon has been established and transport detours have been put in place. People have been advised to avoid the area and the mayor urged residents to block their windows with damp rags.

Police have issued a shelter-in-place red alert, with sirens wailing to warn the local population to remain indoors.

Three Tory MPs accused of spreading ‘fake news’ about Labour leader Starmer after sharing edited video on grooming gang victims

A Tory minister and two fellow MPs have been accused of pushing a far-right conspiracy theory about Labour's Keir Starmer after sharing a doctored video of him falsely claiming he obstructed the targeting of grooming gang members.

Tory Health Minister Nadine Dorries, along with Conservative MPs Lucy Allan and Maria Caufield, shared – in now-deleted tweets – the misleading 22-second clip from a Twitter account owned by an individual who allegedly had links to National Action, a banned neo-Nazi terrorist group. The account has since been deleted.

None of the UK lawmakers have offered an apology so far, but a Downing Street spokesman said the politicians have been spoken to and “reminded [of their[ responsibility to check the validity of information before they post on social media sites.”

The heavily edited video shows Starmer – in his then-role as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in 2013, when he led the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) – falsely asserting that the new Labour leader had prevented victims from speaking out.

It sees Starmer seemingly recounting reasons why victims of grooming gangs might not be credible, talking about “the assumption that a victim of child sexual abuse will swiftly report what’s happened to them to the police” and the idea that they “will be able to give a coherent, consistent account, first time.”

However, the full clip shows Starmer insisting that there needs to be “a clear break with the past,” before detailing how he had ordered a restructuring of the CPS’ approach to grooming gang cases – admitting that victims had been failed.

Dorries retweeted the Twitter account, simply adding: “Revealing.” Allan, the MP for Telford, suggested that it showed Starmer having a “dismissive attitude” towards “child sexual exploitation victims” – a serious accusation that was later deleted.

Caulfied, who represents Lewes in southern England, retweeted the video with the message: “True face of the Labour leader #shameful.” It appears that she has since deleted her Twitter account.

Taxpayer-funded PBS stations produced a pro-Beijing documentary — and didn’t disclose China ties

The stations receive millions in federal funds every year

Two PBS affiliate stations — which receive millions in taxpayer funding every year — are airing a pro-Beijing documentary, which was produced in conjunction with China Global Television Network, a Chinese media outlet controlled by the country's communist government.

What are the details?

Investigative reporter Chuck Ross broke the news Thursday about the film, "Voices from the Frontline: China's War on Poverty," which touts Chinese President Xi Jinping's plan to end poverty in the country by 2020.

PBS affiliate KOCE, known as PBS SoCal, helped produce the film and premiered it Monday. KCET, which merged with KOCE in 2018, will air the show on Saturday. Other PBS affiliates, including in Idaho and Las Vegas, have either already aired the film or plan to do so later this month.

The one-hour documentary touts Chinese President Xi Jinping's initiative to alleviate poverty in China by this year.

"In the last forty years, China's economic development has lifted more than 700 people out of poverty," reads the introductory script in the film.

"To President Xi Jinping, ending poverty is his most important task," the script states.

In his report, Ross noted that the film does not disclose CGTN's links to the Chinese government nor does it disclose film producer Robert Lawrence Kuhn's ties to officials at China's State Council Information Office, which reportedly specializes in foreign propaganda.

In February 2019, CGTN, China's primary state broadcaster, filed with the U.S. government as a foreign agent of the Chinese government, yet this goes without mention in the film.

What else?

According to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting records, KCET received $5.6 million in federal funding last year, and more than $1.8 million in 2018. KOCE also received more than $1.8 million in 2018 before the merger.

Since taking office, President Trump has repeatedly called for defunding the CPB, which provides funding for public TV stations such as PBS and NPR, but proposals have failed to pass through Congress.

While federal funding is not the only source of income for PBS stations, federal dollars are crucial for many stations to continue operations.

"There is no viable replacement for federal funding – which amounts to $1.35 per citizen per year," PBS SoCal acknowledges on its website.

More on the film producer

According to Ross, Kuhn, a former investment a banker, is well connected and highly regarded in China. He reportedly appears frequently on Chinese state media outlets to discuss his views on the country.

Here's more from the Daily Caller report:

In December 2018, Kuhn was awarded the China Reform Friendship Medal at an event held in Beijing and attended by Xi Jinping. Kuhn's personal website shows a photo of him shaking hands with Xi at the event, and refers to the medal as "China's highest award."

Kuhn hosted a delegation that same year to Beijing to meet with Jiang Jianguo, who served as minister of the State Council Information Office, the office reported.

China's initiative to fight poverty has been a point of focus for Kuhn.

Reports out of China in recent years have claimed that the government has lifted more than 700 million people out of poverty over the last three decades, but skeptics have been quick to point out that the media arms doing that reporting are controlled by the government.

Watch Live: Demonstrators Flock to PA Capitol to Protest Governor’s ‘Draconian’ Lockdown Orders

Demonstrators are gathering in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Friday to protest what many have described as Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) “draconian” lockdown orders, preventing several counties from reopening their economies.

Wolf has come under fire this week after threatening counties and businesses that have weighed reopening without his permission. Thirteen counties, in addition to 24 last week, have been permitted to move into the yellow phase of reopening, which loosens restrictions, allowing for some nonessential businesses to operate at a limited capacity and people to meet in groups of up to 25. However, even under the yellow phase, restaurants and bars are limited to take out and delivery, and gyms and salons must remain closed.

While Wolf is expected to announce the next batch of counties that can move forward from the red phase, several remain in the most restrictive stage, which only permits life-essential businesses to operate. Some counties have considered moving ahead without the governor’s permission — a move Wolf referred to as a “cowardly act.”

Italy’s leftist government grants 600,000 illegal migrants amnesty

Italy’s leftist-establishment government earlier this week moved ahead with plans to grant amnesty to 600,000 illegal migrants living in the country, despite widespread opposition.

As Teresa Bellanova, Italy’s pro-mass migration Agriculture Minister, signed the bill which grants six-month residency permits to illegal migrants working in the agricultural and domestic sectors into law on Wednesday, she cried tears of joy, Il Giornale reports.

The new decree has faced considerable criticism from inside and outside of Italy’s ruling coalition. The Five Star Movement, which rules alongside the Left-wing establishment Democratic Party (PD), had initially lobbied for one month residency residents permits to be granted to the migrant laborers, but failed to impress their will upon the seemingly more powerful PD.

Outside of the ruling coalition, Right-wing populists like Matteo Salvini of the League Party and Giorgia Meloni of Brothers of Italy (FdI) argued that the Agriculture Minister’s tears were entirely misplaced.

Responding to Bellnova’s antics, Salvini said: “Minister Bellanova’s tears for the poor immigrants, with no reference to the millions of unemployed Italians, do not move anyone.”

“Instead of securing jobs for the millions of unemployed Italians and the many regular and respectable immigrants present in Italy, the government thinks of an amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants,” the former interior minister also said.

Giorgia Meloni also took the opportunity to blast the minister’s stunt, saying: “Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Italians have cried, perhaps at night, secretly from their children, crushed by desperation for losing everything, or for fear of losing everything. help that never came.”

Senator Stefano Candiani of Salvini’s League party has vowed to oppose the decree in every way possible.

“We will do everything democratically in our possession to stop this wicked project, we will collect signatures, if necessary, to promote a referendum and force them to the polls, where the Italians will punish them severely.”

The new decree is expected to affect between 500,000 and 600,000 illegal migrants in the country.

Sabo Street Art Calls Out California, L.A. Coronavirus Lockdown Overreach

The Los Angeles street artist known as Sabo is no fan of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and has plastered the L.A. area with posters depicting the Democrat governor as a character out of American Psycho.

Sabo put up his latest street art series in Venice Beach, Hollywood, and other high-traffic destinations around L.A. County. One poster shows Gov. Newsom as the Christian Bale character from the 2000 movie American Psycho, renamed “California Psycho.”

Another poster on Hollywood Boulevard near the Dolby Theatre depicts Newsom as a plastic-surgery enhanced monster named “Gruesom,” inspired by the horror movie Saw.

“They want us to all wear masks,” Sabo told Breitbart News. “How fitting, because they wear them all the time.”

China Wants International Probe into U.S. ‘Biological Weapons’

The Chinese state newspaper Global Times cited “Chinese military experts” on Thursday urging Beijing to join hands with the government of Russia and demand an international probe into American biological laboratories, an effort to fuel the Communist Party conspiracy theory that the U.S. Army caused the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

The article suggested the use of international agencies like the United Nations Security Council to pressure America into giving inspectors approved by the Chinese Communist Party access to sensitive scientific sites. It is the first major proposition in English-language Chinese government media to implement measures to prove the theory the Chinese Foreign Ministry has spent months cultivating that a U.S. Army laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland, is the true origin of the Chinese coronavirus.

The article does not specifically link demands to allow Russian and Chinese inspections of American military facilities to the coronavirus pandemic, but appears to be a response to calls from Washington for an impartial investigation into the activity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a top biological research facility believed to be engaged in coronavirus research at the time the outbreak began.

“In order to hide the fact that the U.S. is researching on biological weapons, the U.S. will not respond to an international query on its bio-labs, Chinese military experts said, adding that China and Russia could initiate an investigation of bio-labs worldwide at the UN to pressure the US,” the Global Times claimed on Thursday.

The newspaper cited “Chinese analysts,” state-approved voices to echo the Communist Party agenda, who claimed, “China and Russia can initiate an international investigation of all P3 and P4 labs worldwide, including the ones run by the U.S., at the U.N. Security Council, and U.S. antiwar groups and media can also pressure Washington to be transparent on the question of its bio-labs.”

One such “expert,” identified as an official at Beijing’s Renmin University, claimed that demands from China and Russia for access to American weapons research were “reasonable” and “totally different from the groundless accusations and conspiracy theories about the origin of COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus disease] made by some U.S. congressmen and politicians.”

The Global Times also claimed “observers” believe that a joint Chinese-Russian effort to investigate the American military “will embarrass Washington,” as it would attract global support. The propaganda newspaper did not corroborate why the “observers” believe so.

One anonymous Chinese “military expert” added that investigating the U.S. military is important because of the use of “chemical and biological weapons since the Cold War.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not discuss the issue during its daily press briefing on Friday. The briefing, however, was led by spokesman Zhao Lijian, the first senior Chinese Communist Party official to float the conspiracy theory that the coronavirus originated in America. Beijing has elevated Zhao’s profile since he speculated on Twitter in March, “it might be the U.S. Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan.”

Shortly after Zhao’s tweet, the Global Times identified the Maryland Army facility, which is reportedly no longer open, as the possible origin of the virus.
