Biden Signs Bill to Declassify COVID Origins

[Epoch Times] President Joe Biden on March 20 signed into law a bill mandating declassification of COVID origin-related intelligence, saying that he shares "Congress’s goal of releasing as much information as possible" on the issue.

"We need to get to the bottom of COVID-19’s origins to help ensure we can better prevent future pandemics," Biden said in a statement. "My Administration will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

He added that, in implementing the legislation, the administration will "declassify and share as much of that information as possible, consistent with my constitutional authority to protect against the disclosure of information that would harm national security."

#5 What justification could there have been to classify it in the first place?

Who ordered it classified?

When did this happen?

#9 What justification could there have been to classify it in the first place?

Anything generated through the security services or foreign intel collection is just automatically classified. Generally it is declassified pretty quickly (1-2 years unless needed released asap).

Given that though, I have seen some things that are out there on wikipidea still classified and there is no fucking reason why it should be. Too much info classified and not enough people with the authority to release it.

#10 The bill passed unanimously in the House and Senate. It appears even the puppet masters understand a veto would accomplish noting.

#11 Signs this bill, vetoes another one.
