Gov't Docs Prove Fauci Lied to Rand Paul; US Was Funding Gain of Function Research in Wuhan
[Red State] We at RedState have long said that when Dr. Anthony Fauci testified to Sen. Rand Paul about the US government’s supposed non-involvement in gain of function research in Wuhan (and funding thereof) that he lied, and now documents from the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) bear that out.

Project Veritas released documents Monday night "regarding the origins of COVID-19, gain of function research, vaccines, potential treatments which have been suppressed, and the government’s effort to conceal all of this."

One of the documents Project Veritas obtained was a report to the Inspector General of the Department of Defense written by U.S. Marine Corp Major Joseph Murphy, a former DARPA Fellow.
The report states that EcoHealth Alliance approached DARPA in March 2018, seeking funding to conduct gain of function research of bat borne coronaviruses. The proposal, named Project Defuse, was rejected by DARPA over safety concerns and the notion that it violates the basis gain of function research moratorium.

According to the documents, NIAID, under the direction of Dr. Fauci, went ahead with the research in Wuhan, China and at several sites across the U.S.

Dr. Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and NAIAD have not been involved in gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program. But according to the documents obtained by Project Veritas which outline why EcoHealth Alliance’s proposal was rejected, DARPA certainly classified the research as gain of function.

"The proposal does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF) research," a direct quote from the DARPA rejection letter.

Major Murphy’s report goes on to detail great concern over the COVID-19 gain of function program, the concealment of documents, the suppression of potential curatives, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and the mRNA vaccines.

Murphy would not comment on the report’s contents when reached by Project Veritas, but issued a brief statement:
I offer no comment on the investigation or internal Marine Corps deliberations. I offer a brief comment to those that desire answers and to those that withhold them.

To those seeking answers, I offer encouragement. There are good people striving for the truth working together in and out of government, and they succeed.

To those that withhold, I pray for you. Find the moral courage to come forward. Don’t let a lie be our legacy to posterity. People will forgive. A commitment to truth is in the heart of this nation.

Semper Fi.
Ending the video, O’Keefe asked, "Who at DARPA made the decision to bury the original report? They could have raised red flags to the Pentagon, the White House, or Congress, which may have prevented this entire pandemic that has led to the deaths of 5.4 million people worldwide and caused much pain and suffering to many millions more."

#1 Basically confirming what many have suspected from the onset. When little or nothing was being promulgated relative to causes or origins from these agencies, they immediately became suspect.

#3 Financing extremely dangerous bio research (Gain of Function) in a far and distant, densely populated land.......seemed like a smart thing to do at the time.

If there is more to this story, someone please tell me.

#4 OK, how much do you know about ACE inhibitors?

#6 I took enalapril (ACE inhibitor) for many years. Never had any problems with it. Been on amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) instead for many years now. It does what I need it to do, but I wish I was still getting the off-label benefits ACE inhibitors are said to provide.

#7 This should make me glad I'm not on an ACE inhibitor. That said, I worry more about dementia than COVID, thus my interest in the ACE inhibitors purported off-label benefits.

#8 Well, it's obvious why they lied. They tried really risky research, it escaped the lab, and caused a global plague.

Aversion to punishment for one's own behavior is a core bureaucratic value. Especially when one did the thing in question.

#11 M. Murcek: I have more data on ACE inhibitors being helpful for covid but I'm short on time now. I'll try to post a roundup tomorrow.

#12 Thanks for the Ace Inhibitor info. Sounds like something I should stay away from if I want to remember where the bathroom is :-(

#13 ^ As I say, I never had any adverse eff3ects from enalapril. I knew other people who had 'em all.

Once, my primary care doc said to me, "If everyone took their meds always, on time and without side-effects like you, the world would be a more crowded place."

#14 If there is more to this story, someone please tell me.

There was an election coming in which Democrats anticipated getting clobbered and Donald Trump getting four more years in the White House. This was unacceptable to Deep State types in DARPA and elsewhere. But then the pandemic that resulted from Fauxi's gain of function research gave Democrats an excuse to implement a mail in balloting for the election which was highly suspect. Democrat Biden was then able to defeat Trump and win the White House. Are these facts related in any way? Would you put it past them?

#16 I'm just gonna say it out loud: the Dems called in a favor from the CCP who were more than happy to oblige. For CCP and Dems, it was a win-win.
