WAPO and other media outlets covered it up for a whole year, despite the fact that actual Chinese scientists stated that it came from the Wuhan lab.

Who says conspiracy theories never come true? I'd argue many conspiracy theories are closer to actual truth than establishment recorded history, although obviously not all of them (flat earth for example)

I get the argument from a personal development point of view that even if they are true, so what? This is still a hobby for me though.. to pick apart what the elites are planning since they won't be upfront about it. It's all in good fun.

Everything after words "WaPo fact checker" belongs to fiction.

"Russian collusion," "bounties on US soldiers," and now this.


The track record of the US media is such that they deserve the scorn and distrust they get.

What got tossed out early was the idea that this was a bioweapon attack. It most likely originated from a natural source, whether directly from animal to human, or indirectly as a collected lab sample for study. Something I do think they need to consider is whether it makes sense to position BSL-4 labs near populated areas. Right now there are disturbingly high number of such. Perhaps they should be located similar to astronomical observatories, where you have to travel out of your way to reach it, or else use robots?

Glenn Kessler of WashPost did the damage control spin against Senator Ted Cruz last year, according to the article. It makes a person wonder if journalists even read '1984' or watch movies like 'The Matrix.' They have been peddling lies to deliberately reduce/remove Americans' freedoms.
Newswars is Alex Jones' new site for Infowars. Wade isn't saying anything much. He's making claims about the WHO investigation that are too strong. He's claiming that the lab leak theory must be the one since the WHO didn't come down conclusively on the animal origin as the result of its investigation (more like a strong lean than a dismissal).

Remember how the left, the media and social media demonized Trump for saying it most likely came out of that lab and how anyone sharing that story was cancelled?

Well well now. Look who was right after all.

Yep-but they will ignore the fact that Trump, much of the GOP, conservative media and most anyone with an IQ over 80 were aware of this a year ago. The fact that they lied and suppressed the truth for a year, mocked and ridiculed people that even raised the question...will be ignored. They will pretend this is some kind of new revelation that we know as a result of their "investigative reporting".

Just like the Russia hoax. They have lied over and over about Trump. They are never held accountable.
