French Intelligence Warned Obama State Department About Wuhan Lab In 2015: Former US Official
[Daily Caller via ZERO] By 2017, France had been 'kicked out' of the lab, and cooperation had ceased, leading French officials to once again warn the US State Department of 'grave concerns' as to Chinese motivations, former State official David Asher told the Daily Caller.

The State Department alleged in January 2021, at the end of the Trump administration, that the Wuhan lab had engaged in classified research on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.

The State Department did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

On Thursday, China said it would not allow the World Health Organization to inspect the lab further. China has blocked the WHO from accessing important records at the lab. -DCNF

"The Chinese basically sucked State into its honey pot operation to gain access to U.S. technology, knowledge, and material support. Classic. Just as they have done in every sector," said Asher.

According to USAID, the US Agency for International Development provided $1.1 million to US-based NGO EcoHealth Alliance for a sub-agreement with the Wuhan Institute of Virology - on top of millions received from the Department of Defense's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and $600,000 annual grant from Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institutes of Health.

In short, after the Obama administration paused Gain-of-Function research, US entities funneled money through EcoHealth to continue it, despite France's warning.

According to Asher, the NIH, DoD and USAID should have ceased federal funding in 2015.

And there you have it. "Sucked right in" we were. We were victims I tell you, victims !

French DGSE warns Foggy Bottom, but not US Intelligence? (or at least no mention of it) Very curious I'd say.

#4 Obama administration? Obama State Department? Already warning alarms going off in me and paranoia is ticking up a notch. IMO thinking of Rahm Emanuel's statement: "You never let a serious crisis go to waste." Would consider that administration capable of anything.
