Ch 3 - Proximal Origin

In the story of the Covid Atrocity, there are two documents that fooled the world (with help from their friends): Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 & The Lancet Statement

Thank-you Lancet, Billy, Dan

If you're tracing back the Covid Cover-up Conspiracy, you wind up with two documents:

The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2

The Lancet Statement

The old one-two.

They are dear to me coz they were my entry point into seriously investigating the origin of Covid/having my private mental space invaded by the forces of One-Everything.

Dan started a thread on Formosahut about nCov on Jan 24 - we began noticing/recording some anomalies.  I mentioned this to a scientist I was on good terms with.

The reaction was bristling - that took me aback - slightly.  Sent a Feb 23 story from the Taipei Times on a scientists' symposium raising the possibility of an engineered virus lab accident.

Email back:

The experts don't believe in conspiracy

I read it.  27 world-leading experts saying scientists from a CCP-run bio-defense/weapons lab were open and transparent. 

The language, was weirdly over-the-top - condemning conspiracy theorists - raving about unity/solidarity/standing together. With who? Totalitarianism?

Yeah - no.  Whatever you do - don't sign that. You will get badly burned. The CCP are open and transparent about not being open and transparent. Those 27-experts, (i had no idea who they were at the time) are spreading misinformation. Stay away from it.

The response was an animated cartoon praising China's transparency/response/lockdown mentality - ridiculing the US.  It was literally made by the CCP.  Disturbingly, now that i check, it was  platformed/plugged by the ABC. (More than 2 years later - there's still no evidence of the ABC having done a single investigative piece on the origin of the biggest story of our lifetimes.  What does that mean?)

The cartoon was followed up with derogatory article about a 5-G protest - linking Covid (corona back then) to 5G - haha!   It was meant as a Strawman-style insult - though if you click on the link the protesters are saying 5G depletes immunity - therefore makes people more susceptible to disease.  That's not totally crazy thinking.  (paper in Nature on the subject):

Next stop, i was banned from talking about Covid altogether.   I'm sick to death of hearing about your boring conspiracy theories.

The End. 

That's sad. Another silent casualty of Covid.  I know this person is well-intentioned at heart. Part of this journey is trying to understand how good people came to behave in reactionary ways - to cover-up the truth. Then figure out how to bring them back - to re-communicate - in a way that doesn't vilify them - but - where the past is not swept under the carpet.  That can't be the answer.  We can't jump from censorship/ridicule to

   -   we've moved on   -

In order to move-on, you've gotta be there in the first place . I can't move on from Timbuktu, for example, coz i've never been there.

First job for society is to develop a space where questions are allowed to be asked about this event that changed every human's life. Let's get there, set up camp, explore - then we can talk about how to move on.  Otherwise we're moving on to the exact thing we need to move away from.

If the system is broken, which it is - we can still fix it.

But i'm getting ahead of things. The point is: by the time i'd digested The Lancet Statement, i knew:

this new virus is a lab-leak

There was/is no other reason for scientists to be issuing blatantly unscientific statements.

I checked a paper that the Lancet Statement cited in support of its premise - it was called Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.

Welcome to The Rabbit Warren

Started researching/writing/discussing Prox O on Formosahut with Dan - first posted on May 18, 2020.   Don't know how many drill-down referenced analyses of Prox O & its authors' COI's there were at that time - not many - none that i saw - by world-leading scientists or not.

It was quickly clear the pangolin premise was rubbish,  but the fascinating part was the authors who concocted it.  The COI's were glaring.

Formosahut is a tiny forum - it's Dan and I basically -with a small readership - the recess of the recesses of the internet.  Privately, I posted extensively on Lipkin's  and Holmes's Wikipedia pages - painstakingly referencing every statement - no personal opinions - no adjectives - mainly using their own words.  Information only.  I thought it would be bullet-proof for those reasons, controversial as it was.  It lasted two weeks. Pretty sure Lipkin and Holmes saw it.  Lipkin in particular went from all-over-the-media-like-a-rash to radio silence.   

After that it was like being attacked by those octopus machines from Matrix.  The lead Wikipedia vandal was a user called Thucydides411 - but he had significant back-up.  I was overwhelmed - blanked n blocked - with the usual conspiracy theorist name-calling.  If you accept that the United Front Work Dept is a well-organized force, then you'll know that Wikipedia is a prime medium to infiltrate/control.  What it did show is:

This is an information war. 

On one side: the so called right-wing nutter conspiracy theorists, who calmly present referenced information, ask reasonable questions.

On the other side: the so-called progressives, who get angry, resort to name-calling, refuse to discuss details, use their power to censor/ban the discussion. Then replace it with misinformation - telling themselves it's for the common good.

This is the world we are living in.

In some ways it was satisfying to hit a nerve - but being shut down at every turn when all you're trying to do is investigate what the fuck happened here - it's not pleasant. 

Then - out of the blue - some contact came the other way - an intrepid Covid-origin researcher somehow found me.  I knew he was intrepid coz no-one else had done it. That was:

@Billy Bostickson from Drastic - the Great Man (though i didn't know who he was at the time)

Rabbit warrening - lonely is not the right word - a lot of it's exciting - some of it is very funny -  but you are alone - in the warren.  You lose touch with some stuff - it's normal.  The wall of rejection/censorship when you try to share your findings - there's a reason why they call it the wall. (At first i couldn't work it out - why is the media refusing to report the story of the millennium when the facts are staring them in the face?  Wouldn't that run against their instincts?) But that's ok, the thing about a challenge is you're not meant to be happy all the time - if you are - it's not a challenge.

But you are happy knowing there's someone in the real world shining a light. With others - a hardworking network.  Showing leadership/energy/positivity.  People have different abilities to different extents - Billy is Olympic-standard at light-shining - right when the world needed it - when the people we had trusted to do it - the experts - were betraying that principle.

Billy could retire tomorrow, play golf, grow tomatoes, history will immortalize him.   Unless it turns out like the edited CCP ending to Fight Club - in which case he's fucked...

image-1643620523141.png

The censorship on the origin of Covid persists to this day.  There's still been no open-investigation anywhere as to who is directing it or why.  No-one has been held to account.

The outright vilification of origin-researchers has dropped off though - skipped a beat as a sentiment - but barely - before re-deployment to the vaccine-hesitant. 

Meanwhile, the Covid Atrocity presents two challenges:

1. Expose the conspiracy to commit fraud

2. Prevent the desired outcomes of the frauders from becoming entrenched reality

The second one is the hardest - the most important - the most urgent. 

It's no good proving Covid was a lab-exit if the perps get everything they wanted - more funding for a global bio-state - run by One-Everything.

 

 

 

 

Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2

Of the two papers that fooled the world, the most important one was:

Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.

image-1642146270992.png

Aka the Pangolin Paper. We originally analyzed this paper in detail on Formosa Hut in May 2020 (which appears to be the first in-depth critique on the planet), but here's a Fast Facts recap:

Which they did. Let's take a look at that language ...

The premise: 

Horseshoe bats, possibly carrying RaTG13 collected from the Mojiang caves*, Yunnan, & held at WIV, managed to infect a population of at least  21 caged Malayan pangolin such as those smuggled into Guangdong (1000 km away).

Lipkin, Feb 10, 2020: The latest data suggest that an endangered mammal, the pangolin, may be the source of the new coronavirus. My colleagues and I have been working to shut down wildlife markets for decades. Perhaps the silver lining in this outbreak is that we finally get the traction needed to achieve this goal.

The said pangolin were then transported to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan (1000 km another away), where they were slaughtered for sale.


Before their deaths, the bat virus, now in the caged-pangolin on their way to market, is theorized by the authors to have pulled off an average of 50 years (according to Holmes - 20 years if you’re in a rush) of profound evolutionary change - within a few days!!! Smashing the authors' own time-frames, it somehow aced the ACE-2 spike protein barrier to human infectivity, which then resulted in patient zero at the market - as many early cases of COVID-19 were linked to the Huanan (Seafood) market in Wuhan.

The Conclusion:

As such: Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus. .. (P)angolins...provide a much stronger and more parsimonious explanation of how SARS-CoV-2 acquired these .. RBD mutations (making it infectious to humans).

Yeah, right.

Despite it being known at the time (!) that:

There’s your pangolin premise - collapsed in a heap - before it gets out of the starting gates.

Pile on all the fancy science you like after that - it’s a moot point when the premise is:

- wrong    -

It's quite likely that pangolin was an ingredient in an engineered Covid virus, but as Garry himself said: I just can't figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.

Remember, this is not benefit-of-hindsight. The authors, of course, knew it was a whopper as they wrote it (see Andersen's infamous Looks Engineered FOI email) - that's why they wrote it - but how did it go from there to:

All of the above chose to ignore glaring errors in the fundamental details of the paper. Why?

To perpetrate the greatest scientific fraud of all time.

That makes them hands-on complicit in the Covid Atrocity.

(* RaTG13 has been theorized to be the bat virus involved in the Mojiang Cave incident, where workers collecting bat guava fell ill & died. Curiously, it was dismissed by WIV/EHA as a coronavirus incident. I tend to agree with them. To this day, there's been no evidence of a bat virus ever directly infecting a human.)

The Pangolin Connection

 

A deeper look at the pangolin connection:

Prox O: Malayan pangolins illegally imported into Guangdong province contain coronaviruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 (ref 21) .. Although RaTG13 .. remains the closest to SARS-CoV-2, .. some pangolin coronaviruses exhibit strong similarity to SARS-CoV-2. .. This clearly shows that the SARS-CoV-2 .. is the result of natural selection.

I checked their ref for the illegally imported pangolin - it's this paper.
Published Feb 20, 2020
Authors: Tao Zhang, Qunfu Wu, Zhigang Zhang, Chinese Academy of Science, Kunming, Yunan

Interestingly, Garry says Prox O draft was finished by Feb 1 - so their key pangolin claim is reffed to a paper that hadn't been published at that stage - which suggests some communication with the above authors.  Nothing wrong with that - just registering it.

But the above paper is still not the source for illegally imported pangolin. In turn, that paper refs a previous paper which conducted tests on 11 dead pangolin seized by customs.

Authors: Ping Liu, Wu Chen 2 and Jin-Ping Chen (Institute of Zoology, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou)

Received: 30 September 2019 / Revised: 21 October 2019 / Accepted: 21 October 2019 / Published: 24 October 2019

The dates are interesting. Nobody was studying pangolin viruses - the authors talk about how neglected they were as a topic - suddenly a paper appears - right in the Covid-emergence-timeframe.

Jin-ping Chen et al: Recently, the prediction of viral zoonosis epidemics has become a major public health issue... Malayan pangolins could be another host with the potential of transmitting the SARS coronavirus to humans.

Remember, this is Oct 21, 2019, pre-Covid's emergence being public.

Either they were incredibly prescient - to the point that the Covid outbreak happened within days of their prediction, or .... this was part of the set-up.

Then there's this: Jin-Ping Chen had previously collabed on this paper in 2014: Evidence for Retrovirus and Paramyxovirus Infection of Multiple Bat Species in China
Pub: 2014

Get a load of the authors on that:

Lihong Yuan, Min Li, Linmiao Li, Corina Monagin, Aleksei A. Chmura, Bradley S. Schneider, Jonathan H. Epstein, Xiaolin Mei, Zhengli Shi, Peter Daszak, and Jinping Chen

Three are from EHA, plus Schneider, a frequent EHA collaborator - with Shi Zhengli from WIV.

What does that prove? Not much, apart from what we already knew - the Bat Pack behind Prox O and The Lancet statement are as thick as thieves.  It's another tantalizing coincidence.  We know Prox O was purpose written to counter the conspiracy theorists coz the authors tell us that straight out.

In the desperate scramble to create a zoonotic narrative, was this orginal pangolin paper also purpose written - or more likely, co-opted and re-edited - to fit the scenario?

 

 

The Authors

My name is Dulan Drift - i am a conspiracy theorist.

According to my research, the following men conspired to fabricate the Pangolin Paper to cover-up the origin of the Covid Atrocity:

Kristian Andersen. Edward Holmes, Robert Garry, Andrew Rambaut, Ian Lipkin

The web they weave:

They are big accusations - I'm confident i can prove it.

Andrew Rambaut

image-1643531276402.png

Man of Mystery!  All the others have put themselves out there to pump the paper - but Rambaut stayed in the shadows. That's intriguing.  As a next generation computer-whiz, he has gone to some length to conceal his image. If you look at his Twitter account, which he doesn't use, you'd think he was the most handsome of the lot.  But it's not him. 

Whereas Lipkin was bursting at the seams with on-the-record blabbering, Rambaut likes his privacy. That's fine, but as a key ingredient of the Prox-O-5, you're famous for all time Andrew - whether you like it or not. 

You can still judge a man by the company he keeps - Oxford - specifically Nuffield Department. DPhil from Oxford in 1997 places him there at the same time as brothers-in-arms Farrar, Gao, Holmes, Worobey, Horby, et al.  The Oxford-Edinburgh axis is at the centre of the Covid Conspiracy. 

So as author of the greatest academic fraud of all time and a Feb 1 Teleconferencer, what does, let's call you the other Prince Andrew, bring to this world-deciding table? 

(E)volutionary biologist specializing in emerging human viral pathogens

Funny how the more human viral pathogenicists such as Randy Andy Rambo emerged as a fund-attracting force (largely funded by Wellcome) - the more emerging human viral pathogens emerged.

Rambaut is a genomic surveillance enthusiast - whose interests naturally include population engineering - which gets to the crux of what this is all about:

   -   a bio-state coup   -

He features as a Friendly Genius on Andersen's Scripps website (along with Garry).

First person Holmes called with the sequence - published on Rambaut's website. 

Co-author with Andersen, Holmes, and Dudas (Edinburgh PhD student supervised by Rambaut) on the controversial Ebola Evolution paper in 2016.

SAGE member (with Jeremy Farrar), futurist (as is Farrar), funded in perpetuity by Wellcome. 

The blank photo above is from a conference titled:

Next-generation molecular and evolutionary epidemiology of infectious disease: challenges and opportunities

Current Generation: Garry, Holmes, Lipkin

Generation Next: Rambaut & Andersen  

Farrar is thy shepherd

Note: Very hard to find a photo of Rambaut - with a lot of Fake Rambauts floating around.  Below is the real Rambaut from Peter Zasdak on Twitter.

Robert Garry

image-1643586151501.pngStalwart atTulane (since 1983), founded Zalgen labs (which has profited hugely from Covid).

NIH funded bioweapons expert (according to Andersen, who lists Garry as a Friendly Genius on his website), Feb 1 Teleconferencer.

The TWIV love-in panelist puts it best: 608 So you got into immuno-suppressive retroviruses - before HIV came along - and then worked on HIV - and then you got into emerging diseases - emerging infections - ahr - now of course we have a global pandemic of SARS-Covid-2, so i’m gonna be really really closely tracking what you do next! (general laughter)

Me too!

TWIV forgot to mention Ebola. The founder of The Consortium (with Andersen) which was mixed up in the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, where they were researching Ebola as a bioweapon (to develop countermeasures). Origin never found but a narrative was: the toddler, the hollow tree, and the bat in a remote Guinea village.

Claimed Prox O draft was finished by Feb 1, 2020, the night before Feb 1 Teleconference.

Garry on TWIV, 12:20: Eddie and the rest of us recognized that this was a virus that was gonna you know - it had a big chance of going the way it went just because the respiratory virus - and yeah - we started working on it really quite early. ..  the first draft I think was complete in like February 1st.

Panelist, 13:04: So Robert, right from the get go there were theories about - well there were two right - which persist to this day - one is that it was manufactured in a lab and the other that it simply escaped in some way - so those were both - that’s part of the reason you wrote this right? - to deal with those ?

Garry: Well yeah! And when we wrote it we basically told ourselves, and it’s in an email chain and other things like that, we said we have to be totally agnostic about how this virus might have emerged.

 

Krsitian Andersen

 

 

 

image-1643591283000.pngKristian Andersen: Scripps hotshot - lead-author.

Here's a quote from what i wrote, May 18, 2020 on Fomosahut (the first publication in the world to drill-down on the Prox-O authors, sfaik):

Along with Holmes and Rambaut, Andersen is a genomic surveillance enthusiast:

"We urge those working on infectious disease to focus funds and efforts on a much simpler and more cost-effective way to mitigate outbreaks — proactive, real-time surveillance of human populations."

Andersen works for Scripps Research Institute. Scripps was in financial trouble hemorrhaging 20 mil a year. But just when the first virus cases were emerging, they received great news. They issued a press release Nov 27, 2019:

“Scripps Research and Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (China) today announced a trans-Pacific chemical biology research collaboration that combines the expertise of both institutions.”

Presumably the financial expertise was more from the Chinese side of the equation. Shenzhen City Council and Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School are backing the venture.

"Several Scripps Research chemical biology faculty will establish joint laboratories at Shenzhen Bay Laboratory with research areas including synthetic chemistry, natural products, glycobiology, chemical genetics, proteomics and other critical areas of chemical biology.

"Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (SZBL) is a recently established Guangdong Provincial Laboratory located in the heart of China’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay area. SZBL strives to become a hub for world-class research at the forefront of health science and innovation, spurring novel solutions to the grand issues challenging mankind."

So to break that down: a new bio-tech lab set up in the Hong Kong vicinity with the Hong Kong protest in full swing - in partnership with a financially flailing research institute, whose head scientist is a cheer-leader for genomic surveillance - funded with money from the CCP - in late Nov 2019.

No - nothing fishy about that at all!

Scripps also promotes remdesivir which was also endorsed by WIV.  According to this article in Gulf News, Shi Zheng-li’s team “applied for a patent for the drug (remdesivir) in China on behalf of WIV.”

(Note: Washington Post:  Daszak .. points out that one of his colleagues, Ralph Baric, .. worked with Gilead Sciences to develop the antiviral drug remdesivir and used virus strains that EcoHealth and its Chinese partners identified in the process, putting the United States ahead of the curve.)

Scripps board of directors includes Dr Ge Li, founder of WuXi PharmaTech.

WuXi AppTec website: Ge Li, Ph.D, Chairman and CEO (:)
Scientist and entrepreneur leading WuXi since its founding in 2000. Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Columbia University. Awards and honors include "2018 SAPA Distinguished Achievement Award", "2018 The 40 Most Influential People in Pharmaceutical Industry in Commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up", "2016 CBA Brilliant Achievement Award".

CBA stands for Chinese Biopharmaceutical Association, USA.

                                                                         -------------

Garry describes Andersen as a generational scientist - the two are long-term collaborators/friends. Andersen is a founding member of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium (with Garry), which was accused of causing the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. He co-authored Ebola Evolution with Holmes and Rambaut - a false narrative writing exercise (pub by Nature) that bears all the hallmarks of being a Prox-O blueprint (swap pangolin for toddler encountering bat in hollow tree (that was burnt to the ground) in remote village)

A big-data futurist - Once was a Twitter warrior - closed his account when the battle heated-up with Drastic.

KG:  In the arms race between host and pathogen, there can only be one winner. Unfortunately for the human host, when the opponent is a highly severe virus, the result is often in favor of the pathogen. 

(especially with a little help from THE science)

In the arms race for bioweapons research, caused by a fear of non-existent bioterrorists, the result is always in favour of the bio-scientists.

W. Ian Lipkin

As mentioned, i first authored a Wikipedia post on Ian Lipkin back in May-June 2020. I also did Eddie Holmes.  Along with the Formosahut thread, those two posts on Wikipedia represented the first in depth analysis on the planet of Proximal Origin and its authors.  The posts were very-much gloves on - happily following all Wikipedia rules - no opinions, every statement referenced, quoting from the horse's mouth.  For my troubles i was blanked, blocked n abused.  Doesn't matter - managed to get under the skin of the subjects and prick their bubble of bullshit.  We'll see who wins in the end. 

Lipkin, according to Garry, was brought on a little bit later  - as the celebrity scientist salesman - with more ties to high-ranking China officials than Marco Polo.  He didn't attend the Feb 1 teleconference because he was in China meeting Li Ke-chiang and George Gao (18:30)

Lipkin: (41:46): I offered my services to President Xi, who I found very impressive.

His main job was to coordinate with the CCP, then hit the international media circuit when he arrived back in New York. As he says:

I was doing a lot of media.

A dedicated book on Lipkin is coming - all the research is there, now i'm dying to write it up coz he's easily the funniest - he could not stop incriminating himself in all his interviews.  In the meantime, here's a list compiled in an earlier Formosahut thread:

 

Edward C. Holmes

So: CCP COI's galore, thick as thieves with Wellcome/Farrar, has form with pedalling false origin narratives

Farrar's Involvement

We know the authors - we know all those who sold-it-on - but who was the master-mind? Who had the sheer audacity/the power to put this radical plan together? To create - the lie of the millenium - then enforce it - to shape/control world culture? 

You’re thinking Fauci - yes of course he’s right up there - but the man who took the reins - in a crisis - brought it all together is:

Sir Jemery Farrar    - 

Doesn’t seem like a long rap-sheet - but these were crucial plays - without which - none of this could have happened.

The Feb 1 Teleconference was in essence - The bosses - Farrar/Fauci/Collins - meeting with their highest paid pets.

Prox O Acknowledgments section: We thank M. Farzan for discussions, and the Wellcome Trust for support.

Farrar sees himself, as others do, as indeed he is: a PR genius. An ahead-of-the-curve calculator - decisive - man of action - not afraid to think big. Not afraid to act big.

This was Jeremy’s time to shine. For the public good. 

Once you make that decision - the truth - no longer matters - you prosecute your case the same way a good lawyer would.

 

 

 

 

The Greatest Academic Fraud of all Time

Fast Factoids: Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2:

All this In the crucial nascent period. Where if we’d known it was a GoFFed-up lab bug on the loose - we could have reacted accordingly.

But wait - there’s a silver lining!

Nature, Sep 2020: Through the ‘Solidarity’ trials, the WHO has launched a global campaign to test therapeutic agents and vaccines on an unprecedented scale5. 

No, we’ll get to that in a different thread Nature, but we’re not going to be diverted from this question:

Was Proximal Origin knowingly concocted/pro-moed with the full-might of One-Everything - to cover up the origin of Covid?
