Sin: More Deadly Than Even the Death-Dealing Ways of Anthony Fauci

One of the reasons composing this particular commentary was difficult is there is no really “new” information that I can provide about the nefarious sociopathic and self-righteously arrogant bureaucratic mole named Anthony Fauci than I have given in scores upon scores of previous articles since April of 2020.

However, after having review a few of those articles, I must admit that even I had forgotten many of the details and said to myself as I was reviewing them, “Gee, this is really good. I wonder who wrote this?” I did, of course, but I simply don’t remember all the details contained in each of my articles, meaning that it must be the case that at least a few of the eighteen (or is it nineteen) people who read this website may not have retained all the facts about Fauci from my past commentaries.

Anthony Fauci, the retired director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, did everything in his considerable power even in 2020 when Donald JohnTrump was in the last year of his first term to suppress all forensic documentation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology being the source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus leak as well as to suppress early intervention treatments in favor of the death-dealing cookie-cutter one size fits all later intervention protocols that were responsible for the deaths of so many hundreds of thousands of people during the height of the plandemic in 2020. Fauci, who would have lost his license to practice medicine in a world government by Catholic truth, that he turned into a veritable license to kill innocent human beings during the plandemic, also intimidated anyone and everyone in his National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease agency who dared to refuse vaccine mandates and/or with the disinformation that flowed from Fauci and his subordinate stooges:

As the thirty-seventh President of the United States of America was wont to say, make no mistake about it, the “vaccines” developed under Operation Warp Speed were designed to be instruments of depopulation as part of the transhumanist “Global Reset.”

The number of “sudden deaths, “unexpected deaths,” deaths following “short illnesses” and like descriptions, especially among adolescents and young adults, is unprecedented, and the evidence continues to mount concerning the damage that the mRNA jabs do the hearts of those young people here in the United States and elsewhere around the world.

We were forced to endure lockdowns, to wear facemasks when in public places, and to engage in “social distancing.”

The lockdowns resulted in the closing of many small businesses, the estrangement of family members, neighbors, and coworkers from each other about the mask and social distancing mandates, the closing of churches and schools, Stasi-like surveillance of ordinary citizens in most of the “blue” states while elected more than a handful of elected officials (Gavin Newsom, Jay Robert Pritcher, Gretchen Whitmer, et al., flaunted their own draconian subjugation of ordinary citizens, some of whom were fined for “infractions” while the bigwigs lived as their desired, and the suppression of trucker protests in Canada once the vaccine “mandates” began to be imposed in early-2021.

The vaccine “mandates” themselves further estranged family members from each, caused many people, including members of the United States military, local and state police forces, and health care workers who knew about the dangers of jabs, who refused to surrender themselves to the poisonous jabs to lose their jobs, denied the unvaccinated entrance to restaurants, theaters, stores, sporting arenas, and other public places. The harm caused by these “vaccines” has been documented in scores of commentaries on this site alone.

Everything that happened in the scamdemic was based upon the Chinese Communist Party model of totalitarian social control, which appealed very much to the likes of the sociopath named Anthony Fauci, who boasted of supporting the Chinese method of containing the coronavirus, saying  in two interviews in June of 2021 that he could not imagine the Chinese government doing anything to kill or harm their own people (Anthony Fauci, Blind Chicom Asset, Can't Imagine the Chicoms Wanting to Harm Their Own People) while calling the Wuhan lab leak theory “far out.”

Despite his sworn testimony to the contrary before the House and Senate of the United States of America on multiple occasions, did indeed fund gain-of-function research on the novel coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, Red China, at a time that administration of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro had banned such funding and who orchestrated a gigantic conspiracy to cover-up the Wuhan Institute of Virology and then to coerce health-care providers into following his cookie-cutter, one-size fits all protocols for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 virus while seeking to suppress scholarly papers questioning the utility of lockdowns and social distancing.

These are facts, facts that are bolstered by the evidence of actual scientists, not ideologues such as Anthony Fauci, who continue to warn those who have the intellectual honesty to consider facts in a spirit of rationality that the “vaccines” are gene therapy treatments that are injuring people now and will continue to do in the future as they shed spike proteins to infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike (see Dr. Peter McCullough—The Inexplicable Suppression of Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and Other COVID-19 Treatments, par one and Dr. Peter McCullough on Omicron Realities and VAERS Reports on Vaccine Injuries and Deaths, part two) while protecting no one against a disease that can certainly make people who get it very sick and cause death in those who do not get proper treatment or are elderly and/or have preexisting co-morbidities. One of those attesting to the facts about these “vaccines” is Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA gene therapy treatments (Dr. Malone on Madness Of Mass Formation Psychosis and Dr. Robert Malone says he can’t support Trump while ex-president stands by COVID-19 jabs. Also see: Revised and Expanded: Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part twenty, and Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part twenty-one.)

Suffice it to say for the present, however, that the following recent news stories about Dr. Fauci’s efforts to coverup his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease’s funding of gain-of-function (virus enhancement) studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2015 at a time that President Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro had issued a moratorium on such funding and his efforts to suppress all information about the source of the Wuhan Virus (SARS-CoV-2) in 2020 and thereafter is not really “new.” Most of the spate of recent stories simply provide reminders about and confirmations of what a lot of us reported contemporaneously 2021 and thereafter.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — A trove of communications and in documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that Dr. Anthony Fauci “provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research” on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and that Fauci “lied to Congress.”

In a viral overnight social media video already seen by millions, Gabbard announced:

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. 

According to a statement released by Gabbard’s office (ODNI), the just-released documents “expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating Intelligence Community (IC) assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world. After years of lies, censorship, and cover-ups, the American people deserve transparency, truth, and accountability,” said Gabbard. 

“The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook: politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected President,” she added. 

“I’m sick to my freaking stomach reading Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified bombshells,” wrote conservative online commentator Gina Milan on X. “They laid out the entire treasonous plot: weaponizing the Zelensky phone call to impeach Trump, with Rudy Giuliani squarely in their crosshairs next.”

“This wasn’t politics – it was a straight-up coup by corrupt deep state actors to overthrow the will of the American people,” said Milan. “These people belong in prison for this sh—. Deeply disturbing and downright terrifying.”

In its statement, the ODNI said that the released documents are a result of Gabbard’s yearlong declassification review in support of President Trump’s maximum transparency mandate. “During this process, ODNI officials gathered testimony from multiple IC whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the IC’s manipulation of intelligence on the virus’ origins. This unveiled a clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying evidence that undermined IC integrity and disserved the American people.”

The statement explains that Fauci’s close IC relationships enabled him to “assume three key roles during the pandemic that shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence”:

• Fauci funded risky coronavirus research linked to big pharma and the pursuit of “universal vaccines” worth trillions of dollars.
• Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, with his hand-picked experts, pushed the IC to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous research.
• Fauci became the nation’s pandemic “pundit” and publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship.

Fauci lied to Congress and retaliated against whistleblowers

The ODNI further explained that the freshly released correspondence directly contradicts Fauci’s 2024 testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

In that hearing, while under oath, Fauci was repeatedly asked whether he spoke to “FBI, CIA, DIA or any U.S. intelligence agency concerning viral research” before, during, or after the pandemic. Fauci repeatedly dodged the questions, before falsely stating, “not to my knowledge about COVID.”

The statement from the ODNI also asserts that “Testimony from multiple whistleblowers reveals intelligence analysts who challenged Fauci’s COVID-origin conclusions faced threat of retaliation, were marginalized, and often suffered career setbacks. This silenced dissent and fostered a culture where truth was sacrificed to conformity and credible evidence was buried.”

The following are examples from whistleblower accounts that Gabbard has referred to the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General:

• A contractor was terminated just days after coming forward to the ODNI as a whistleblower.
• Managers reminded analysts who advocated for the lab-leak hypothesis that leadership would determine which analysts would be promoted. The message was clear: disagreement with the manipulated finding would derail careers.
• Senior leaders allegedly set up roadblocks for whistleblowers, removing anonymity from the complaint process by insisting managers or attorneys be present at ODNI meetings, creating an atmosphere of intimidation.

In August 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci received a U.S. intelligence report suggesting the COVID-19 virus was developed in Chinese and U.S. labs as a bat vaccine, that it subsequently leaked from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that it contained characteristics that would make it resistant to mRNA vaccines.

The report, authored by Joseph Murphy, a major with the U.S. Marine Corps, and printed on Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) letterhead, was part of a tranche of documents Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released Thursday as part of his ongoing congressional investigation into the origins of COVID-19.

The documents show that not only did Fauci receive the DARPA report, but that in an Aug. 25, 2021, email to National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials, he called it “important.” “Let us discuss my going down to the White House to review the report,” Fauci wrote.

The document tranche also contained evidence that Fauci cultivated ties with intelligence agencies at least as early as 2003, the same year he received a CIA report warning of the dangers of genetically manipulating coronaviruses.

Fauci later used these intelligence connections to sway the intelligence community to support the zoonotic theory of COVID-19’s origin, the documents show.

The newly released information corroborates the testimony of CIA whistleblower James Erdman before the U.S. Senate last month. Erdman testified that Fauci led a multi-agency cover-up of COVID-19’s lab origins and that his role in the cover-up “was intentional.”

“These documents reveal a breathtaking level of manipulation — official narratives carefully engineered to shape high-level government policy,” said Stephanie Weidle, executive director of federal watchdog group Feds for Freedom. “This is corruption.”

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), said the revelations sound “more like a plan than a mistake or a ‘leak.’” He said:

“You can’t tell me that the scientists involved didn’t know what the outcome would be. The combination of the human recombinant virus … and a gene therapy ‘vaccine’ that was used to circumvent all other therapies that could have saved lives, created a monster of a virus, as SARS-CoV-2 mutated to stay beyond the reach of the shot.”

Paul released the documents just days after he revealed that he intends to interview Fauci in Congress later this month. In a letter to Paul dated June 9, Sen. Gary C. Peters (D-Mich.) referenced Paul’s “planned transcribed interview of Dr. Anthony Fauci later this month.”

No further information about this interview is publicly available as of press time. The Daily Caller first reported about the forthcoming interview on Tuesday. Sen. Paul’s office did not respond to The Defender’s request for comment.

According to the DARPA document (see page 70), dated Aug. 13, 2021, SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, “is an American-created recombinant bat vaccine, or its precursor virus.”

It was created at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, also known as the WIV, and U.S. institutions with the help of researchers from the EcoHealth Alliance. The virus then leaked from the Wuhan lab in August 2019.

“The details of this program have been concealed since the pandemic began,” the document states, noting, though, that the details match those contained in two research proposals, the DEFUSE proposal and the PREEMPT project.

The EcoHealth Alliance’s DEFUSE proposal involved altering bat viruses by inserting a spike protein with a furin cleavage site, to cause the virus to infect human lungs. PREEMPT involved the cultivation of Egyptian fruit bats.

University of North Carolina virologist Ralph Baric, Ph.D., and Wuhan Institute of Virology researcher Shi Zhengli, Ph.D., submitted the DEFUSE proposal to DARPA in 2017. Although DARPA rejected the proposal, scientists have suggested the rejection didn’t shut down the project.

After DARPA rejected the DEFUSE proposal, the Aug. 13, 2021, report states that DARPA then “settled with NIH/NIAID” — or the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, led at the time by Fauci. According to the report:

“DARPA rejected the proposal because the work was too close to violating the gain-of-function (GoF) moratorium, … despite what Peter Daszak says in the proposal (that the work would not … ).

“As is known, Dr. Fauci with NIAID did not reject the proposal. The work took place at the WIV and at several sites in the US, identified in detail in the proposal.”

Baric and Fauci also closely collaborated with Peter Daszak, Ph.D. — the former president of EcoHealth Alliance, who had financial ties to the Wuhan Lab and played a key role in promoting the zoonotic theory.

In 2024, HHS suspended funding for the EcoHealth Alliance for not monitoring the safety of its coronavirus experiments.

NIH virologist Vincent Munster, Ph.D., also listed as a partner in the DEFUSE proposal, has maintained ties with Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance — including a paper they co-authored in 2022 on Nipah Virus detection in bat roosts.

In April, Baric lost his NIH grants and the University of North Carolina placed him on leave.

Last week, Munster and NIH researcher Claude Kwe Yinda, Ph.D., were charged with conspiring to smuggle biological materials, including deactivated monkeypox virus samples, into the U.S. from Africa — and allegedly lied to authorities about what they were carrying.

‘The story gets complicated’

The SARS-CoV-2 virus was likely intended to be used for a bat vaccine before it leaked from the Wuhan lab, according to the DARPA report. “The purpose of the EcoHealth program, called DEFUSE in the proposal … was to inoculate bats in the Yunnan, China caves where confirmed SARS-CoVs were found,” the report states.

However, the virus “leaked and spread rapidly because it was aerosolized so it could efficiently infect bats in caves, but it was not ready to infect bats yet, which is why it does not appear to infect bats.”

The report suggests that SARS-CoV-2 had characteristics that made it easily transmissible among human populations.

“The reason the disease is so confusing is because it is less a virus than it is engineered spike proteins hitch-hiking a ride on a SARSr-CoV quasispecies swarm. The closer it is to the final live attenuated vaccine form, the more likely that it has been deattenuating since initial escape in August 2019,” the report states.

“A year after DARPA denied this proposal to create chimeric bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a novel bat virus with a furin cleavage site began infecting humans in Wuhan. No other closely related virus has this furin cleavage site,” RealClearInvestigations reported in April.

The documents Paul released contain emails showing that Fauci was aware of concerns about the SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site early during the pandemic.

In a January 2020 email thread, Fauci responded to concerns from virologist Kristian Andersen, Ph.D., and immunologist Jeremy Farrar, Ph.D., about the presence of the furin cleavage site.

In a Jan. 31, 2020, email, Fauci wrote, “I just got off the phone with Kristian Anderson and he related to me his concern about the Furine site mutation in the spike protein of the currently circulating 2019-nCoV.”

In a later email related to these concerns, Fauci wrote, “The story gets complicated.”

DARPA: Mass vaccination actually increased risks from SARS-CoV-2 virus

The virus also contained characteristics that made it difficult to treat or prevent with mRNA vaccines, the DARPA report suggested.

“The gene-encoded, or ‘mRNA,’ vaccines work poorly because they are synthetic replications of the already-synthetic SARSr-CoV-WIV spike proteins and possess no other epitopes” — or the part of an antigen that the immune system recognizes.

The report adds:

herein they spread and produce the same ACE2 immune storm that the recombinant vaccine does.

“Many doctors in the “The mRNA instructs the cells to produce synthetic copies of the SARSr-CoV-WIV synthetic spike protein directly into the bloodstream, wcountry have identified that the symptoms of vaccine reactions mirror the symptoms of the disease, which corroborates with the similar synthetic nature and function of the respective spike proteins.”

The DARPA report suggested that mass vaccination campaigns actually increased the risks from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in a manner replicating that of gain-of-function research, which increases the virulence or transmissibility of viruses. It stated:

“The potential for SARSr-CoV-WIV to deattentuate requires immediate attention. Live vaccines have been found to deattentuate in the past.

“If this is the case with SARSr-CoV-WIV, then the mass vaccination campaign actually performs an accelerated gain-of-function for it. Since it is designed for bats off of a human-susceptible SARS-CoV, vaccinating humans against it actually gains its function back towards a more deattenuated human-susceptible form.”

For the same reasons, other pandemic-related interventions such as masks would be ineffective in stopping the spread of COVID-19, the report states.

“The reasons why nonpharmaceutical interventions like masks and medical countermeasures like the mRNA vaccines do not work well can be extrapolated from the details. Masks or mRNA vaccines would not work for this material,” said former pharmaceutical research and development executive Sasha Latypova. “It is a chemical aerosol poisoning agent. DARPA knows this well.”

Certain characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 made alternative treatment options, such as ivermectin, more effective in treating COVID-19, the report suggests.

“Many of the early treatment protocols ignored by the authorities work because they inhibit viral replication or modulate the immune response to the spike proteins.

“Some of these treatment protocols also inhibit the action of the engineered spike protein. For instance, Ivermectin (identified as curative in April 2020) works throughout all phases of illness because it both inhibits viral replication and modulates the immune response.

“Of note, chloroquine phosphate (Hydroxychloriquine, identified April 2020 as curative) is identified in the proposal as a SARSr-CoV inhibitor, as is interferon (identified May 2020 as curative).”

Fauci was warned about risks of gain-of-function research in 2003

The documents Paul released this week also shed light on Fauci’s intelligence ties. In 2003, Fauci received a CIA report, “The Darker Bioweapons Future,” warning that “engineered biological agents” could lead to effects potentially “worse than any disease known to man.”

While the CIA report doesn’t mention gain-of-function research by name, it cites several examples of cases where viral transmissibility or virulence were enhanced.

The documents also contain an invitation for Fauci to participate in a July 2021 National Security Council briefing related to then-President Joe Biden’s inquiry regarding COVID’s origins — for which Fauci was exempted from a COVID-19 test.

According to Erdman’s Senate testimony last month, the Biden inquiry — and Fauci’s efforts to cover up the likely laboratory origins of COVID-19 — resulted in the White House publishing an August 2021 report that was inconclusive about the virus’s origins — even though intelligence agencies by then had evidence of a lab leak.

A March 6, 2020, email from then-NIH Director Francis Collins referenced the “Proximal Origin” paper published in the journal Nature Medicine, which found that COVID-19 emerged naturally. The paper was widely used to refute the lab-leak theory. Collins suggested that he and Fauci quietly contributed to that paper.

“FYI, this is work that Tony [Fauci], Jeremy [Farrar] … and I helped with, but are appropriately not mentioned explicitly in the paper,” Collins wrote.

“What came afterwards was information warfare,” said Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., CHD’s senior research scientist. “The world was convinced the virus had bat origins — yet it did not infect bats.”

“The censorship in the first two years was incredibly heavy,” Latypova said. “Everyone, including currently ‘awake’ outlets like Tucker Carlson, enthusiastically endorsed the narrative of natural origin, and anyone who questioned this as bogus (myself) was kicked off all social media platforms.”

Will Fauci come clean when he testifies?

Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, Ph.D., a critic of gain-of-function research, said Fauci has a lot to potentially answer for in his congressional interview — and that Biden’s preemptive pardon of Fauci, issued last year, won’t protect Fauci if he lies before  

“Because Fauci’s autopen pardon covers only federal crimes that Fauci committed before Jan. 21, 2025, it does not protect Fauci from prosecution for lying to Congress in a Congressional transcribed interview or public hearing in 2026. He will not even be able to repeat previous lies with impunity in a Congressional transcribed interview or public hearing in 2026.”

Ebright said Fauci has three options — responding truthfully and “confessing that he committed conspiracy to defraud, fraud, perjury, misuse of federal funds, destruction of federal records and obstruction.” Or he can provide false testimony and risk perjury charges, or feign mental incapacitation and inability to recall.

“Erdman testified before the Senate that Fauci actively worked through the intelligence community’s COVID origin task forces to advance his own agenda and steer … COVID-19 policy,” Weidle said. “These revelations should shock no one. Yet the question remains: will anything actually be done about it?” (Smoking Gun? Documents Suggest Fauci Knew COVID Was Created in Wuhan Lab, and mRNA Vaccines Wouldn’t Work )

On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus’s origins in China and lying to Congress about it.

Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community.

“It’s time you know the truth,” said Gabbard when she released “never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024 … The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook.”

Right on cue, two days after the bombshell release, on Sunday, the Washington Post ran a 9,000-word hit piece accusing Gabbard of taking instructions from a Hindu “cult leader” described in the headline as her “guru.”

It was a gratuitous exercise in guilt-by-association masquerading as an investigation, another tactic straight from the deep state playbook.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post did not publish a word about Gabbard’s Fauci revelations.

Nor, for that matter, did any mainstream outlet on the left.

Fauci protected

The same news organizations that helped cover up the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, now overwhelmingly believed to have come from a leak from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, are still refusing to come clean. On liberal social media platform Bluesky, they’re still talking about wet markets and pangolins.

Meanwhile, Fauci, 85, receives a handsome government pension, holds a prestigious role as “distinguished university professor” at Georgetown University, and is showered with rich awards for “defending science.”

Gabbard’s revelations go some way to explaining the surreal disconnect.

Fauci is protected by the deep state and its tentacles, which extend deep into the media, academia and other reputation-enhancing institutions.

His “close relationships” with the intelligence community “shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence,” said Gabbard.

“Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous gain-of-function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars.”

Gabbard, who had to leave the role due to her husband’s illness, did her best to fight for transparency against an array of forces in Washington that regarded her as a loose cannon and sought to shut her out.

But President Trump has installed bulldog Bill Pulte as her interim successor, despite the best efforts of the Senate to expedite the confirmation of Jay Clayton, the former SEC chairman whom Trump has named the next DNI. Trump intervened (ostensibly for another reason) to slow the process, giving Pulte time to look for more bodies.

Paul challenges pardon

Meanwhile, Fauci’s nemesis, maverick Republican Sen. Rand Paul, has again sent criminal referrals to the DOJ against Fauci for the 2024 alleged perjury that Gabbard detailed in her Friday dump.

Perhaps more significantly, Paul (R-Ky.) insists the 11-year blanket pardon President Joe Biden issued for Fauci, in his last minutes on his last day in office, should be challenged in court, both because it was signed with an autopen and because of its rare retrospective nature.

Curiously, Fauci’s pardon stretches back to the exact date of Hunter Biden’s retrospective blanket pardon — January 1, 2014 — and encompasses his oversight of NIH/NIAID funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, via the New York-based cut-out EcoHealth Alliance.

The now-defunct EcoHealth was a nonprofit supposedly devoted to predicting future pandemics, situated in a nondescript Manhattan office building. Its enigmatic founder, Peter Daszak, received millions of dollars in various grants from Fauci’s outfit, but his biggest donor was the Department of Defense, which gave him more than $40 million for the purpose of “combating weapons of mass destruction.”

Back in August 2021, I was told by a former EcoHealth employee, who requested anonymity, that Daszak had been “approached by the CIA in late 2015” to help access the Wuhan lab, believed to be a Chinese military operation.

Daszak later told House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) that he had been contacted by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, although he didn’t say when.

If the intelligence community knew about the dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at Wuhan, did it know about evidence of a potential leak as early as August 2019?

That was the start of a dramatic increase in car traffic around major hospitals in Wuhan, in the late summer and fall of 2019, long before the outbreak was reported to the world.

A Harvard Medical School study published in June 2020 found that aerial images captured by private satellites of five Wuhan hospitals suggested a health crisis was underway at the time.

Traffic and parking lot volume were compared with the same period in 2018. There was “a steep increase in volume starting in August 2019,” says the paper, “culminating with a peak in December 2019,” the date of the first confirmed COVID-19 case.

Between September and October 2019, five of the six hospitals showed the most traffic, “coinciding with elevated levels of [Chinese search engine] Baidu search queries for the terms ‘diarrhea’ and ‘cough.’ ”

Iran distraction

Back in the US, in August 2019, an anonymous whistleblower, now known as CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, lodged the complaint that led to Trump’s Ukraine impeachment.

The White House was consumed by the impeachment during the fall and winter of 2019, when the COVID-19 virus started circulating in the US.

Today, the White House is distracted by Iran, so transparency about the role of the intelligence agencies in protecting Fauci and covering up the origins of the pandemic is probably not a priority.

Despite Gabbard and Paul’s efforts, there is a distinct possibility that nobody will be held accountable for what Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week called “among the most consequential crimes in human history.”

Maybe some secrets are just too terrible to be told. (The Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins cover-up runs 'deep' into our intelligence community).

None of this should be news to those who read this website, which is I why I am going to reprise the following section of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part 2,” April 2, 2020, where I introduce readers to the interview that Dr. Francis Boyle had given to a journal named Geopolitics and Empire that was transcribed by and printed in the British journal named Christian Order:

Well, consider the conclusions reached by Dr. Francis Boyle, who gave an interview in February to website called Geopolitics & Empire that was transcribed and reprinted with permission by Mr. Rod Pead, the editor of Christian Order magazine, which is based in the United Kingdom. Mr. Pead, whose journal published several of my articles in the early part of the last decade, was kind enough to make this transcription available to me and to give me permission to use it in this commentary. The text is rather lengthy.

However, I ask those who read this article to take the time to consider Dr. Boyle’s comments very carefully as they are crucial to understand the proximate cause of the current crisis that is being exploited by the statists around the world in ways that are meant to alter the course of human lives and the conduct of daily business in the same way that the events of September 11, 2001, did as the surveillance state got—or perhaps created—the excuse it had long sought to treat every person as a potential criminal terrorist or subversive.

I hereby express my public gratitude to Mr. Pead for his kindness in permitting me to reprint the transcription below as readers will note that his own comments at the end of the transcription reflect a common view of the organized efforts of the criminals in the civil state to send most people into fits of hysteria over their physical health while clamping down on legitimate civil liberties to “protect us” from a biological warfare they have helped to create.

Here is a key to the names listed below:

“CO” refers to Christian Order and, more specifically, to Mr. Rod Pead.

“Hvroje (don’t ask me how to pronounce that name!) Mori” is the person who conducted the interview with Dr. Francis Boyle for Geopoltics & Empire.

Dr. Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois-Urbana.

Here is the transcription of the interview, preceded by Mr. Pead’s own comments:

A recent interview with Dr. Francis Boyle, conducted by Geopolitics & Empire, has been exploding across the ‘net over the past few days as the truth is emerging on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. It was an engineered biological weapon2 that escaped a BSL-4 [Biosafety Level 4] lab in China, and now it’s replicating on an exponential scale, threatening the entire human race.

Francis Boyle warned the world about bio-weapons research starting in the 1980s. After speaking out about the U.S. bioweapons research efforts which were restarted after the staged events of 9/11 — run by the deep state, of course — Francis Boyle was blackballed from the entire media based on orders from the CIA.

Now, Boyle is one of the few courageous voices speaking the truth about the bioweapons origins of the coronavirus. In this bombshell interview (full transcript below), Boyle talks about:

• The bioweapons origins of the coronavirus.

• How the U.S. deep state deployed anthrax on U.S. soil to whip up publicity about biological weapons and increase funding for bioweapons labs.

 • Why the WHO and CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] are both criminal organisations which are complicit in the covert development of biological weapons. • The “death science” industry and why the U.S. government has spent over $100 billion developing selfreplicating weapons that are deliberately designed to exterminate human life. • Details about the Pirbright Institute and its ties to bioweapons, depopulation, vaccines and coronavirus patents. (It’s partially funded by Bill & Melinda Gates.)

• Why all BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs in the world should be banned and shut down.

I’ve added bolding emphasis on the really important parts of this eye-opening interview, so if you skim the transcript, at least read the bolded sentences.

[CO Editor's note: This transcript is our slightly more precise rendering of the original video interview, with Dr Boyle's emphases and bracketed clarifications also added. Two further points: 1. To evade the 'discriminatory' Wuhan connection the WHO hastily designated this virus COVID-19 (just as it changed the more precise GRIDS — Gay Related Immune Deficiency — to the spurious AIDS); 2. Both COVID-19 and SARS are considered coronaviruses.]

HRVOJE MORI: Geopolitics & Empire is joined by Dr. Francis Boyle, who is international law professor at the University of Illinois. We’ll be discussing the Wuhan coronavirus and biological warfare. He’s served as counsel to numerous governments such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Palestinian authority. He’s represented numerous national and international bodies in the areas of human rights, war crimes and genocide, nuclear policy, and biowarfare. He’s written numerous books, one of my favourites being Destroying Libya and World Order, which I assigned as mandatory reading material for my own students when I taught at the Monterrey Institute of Technology. But most important for this interview, he’s written a book called Biowarfare and Terrorism, and drafted the US domestic implementing legislation for the biological weapons convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 that was approved unanimously by both houses of the US Congress and signed into law by President Bush. Thanks for joining us, Dr. Boyle.

Thanks for joining us, Dr. Boyle.

DR. FRANCIS BOYLE: Thank you so much for having me on and thanks for that kind introduction.

HM: Now let’s get to what’s been on the news recently. This coronavirus in Wuhan. There have been some reports recently, there’s a really interesting website called Great Game India that has been reporting on this. They’ve been talking about China, which they say has been complying with biological weapons convention in recent years. But then there are some people in the US and experts that have been saying that in reality, China isn’t complying with the weapons convention. And I think neither, perhaps the US as well. I’m wondering if China is developing its own Biosafety Level 4 [BSL-4] lab in Wuhan and elsewhere, as you know, as a type of deterrence. Is it a type of a biological arms race that we have going on?

You told me in an email that you suspect China was developing the coronavirus as a dual use of biowarfare weapons agent. Also, what do you make of reports that Chinese scientists have been stealing research and viruses, including the coronavirus, from a Canadian bio lab this past December?3 And as well, Chinese nationals have been charged with smuggling vials of biological research to China from the US — with the aid of Charles Lieber who was the chair of Harvard’s chemistry department.4 And he also happens to be, in 2011, a strategic scientist at Wuhan University. So, can you tell us what’s going on with this recent outbreak in Wuhan?

FB: Well, that’s a lot of questions. I guess we can take them one at a time. But if you just do a very simple Google search on “Does China have a BSL-4 laboratory?”, Wuhan comes up right away. It’s at the top of the list. At the moment this type of thing happened I began to do that. So a BSL-4 is the most serious type. And basically, BSL-4 labs, we have many of them here in the United States, are used to develop offensive biological warfare weapons with DNA genetic engineering.

So it does seem to me that the Wuhan BSL-4 is the source of the coronavirus. my guess is that they were researching SARS, and they weaponised it further by giving it gain of function properties, which means it could be more lethal. And indeed, the latest report now is [that] it’s 15% fatality rate, which is more than SARS at 83% infection rate. So, typical gain of function. It travels in the air, so it could reach out maybe six feet or more from someone emitting a sneeze or a cough. Likewise, this is a specially designated WHO research lab. So the WHO is in on it and they knew full well what was going on there.

Yes, it’s also been reported that Chinese scientists stole coronavirus materials from the Canadian lab at Winnipeg. Winnipeg is Canada’s foremost centre for research, developing, testing, biological warfare weapons. It’s along the lines of Fort Detrick here in the United States of America. I have three degrees from Harvard. It would not surprise me if something was being stolen out of Harvard to turn over to China. I read that report. I don’t know what was in those vials one way or the other.

But the bottom line is — and I drafted the US domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the United States Congress, signed into law by President Bush Sr. — that it appears the coronavirus that we’re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4. I’m not saying it was done deliberately. But there have been previous reports of problems with that lab and things leaking out of it. And I’m afraid, that is what we are dealing with today.

HM: We’ll be talking about the Wuhan and the coronavirus and China, but can you give us kind of like a bigger context. I know you’ve previously in interviews said that since 9/11, you think that the US has spent $100 billion on biological warfare research. We know the Soviet Union, if I’m not mistaken, developed anthrax as a bioweapon. And you’ve also mentioned that UK, France, Israel and China are all involved in biological warfare weapons research. And something interesting, I believe one or two years ago a Bulgarian journalist and the Russian government shared their concern of the discovery of a US bioweapons lab in the country of Georgia. You’ve commented how in Africa, [the]US has set up bioweapons labs to work on Ebola, which I think is illegal under international law. But they were allowed somehow to put those in Africa. Can you give us like a bigger picture? What’s going on with these different countries and what’s the purpose of this research?

FB: All these BSL-4 labs — by United States, Europe, Russia, China, Israel — are all there to research, develop, test biological warfare agents. There’s really no legitimate scientific reason to have BSL-4 labs. That figure I gave, $100 billion, that was about 2015 I believe. I had crunched the numbers and came up with that figure [for] the United States since 9/11. To give you an idea: that’s as much in constant dollars as the US spent to develop the Manhattan Project and the atom bomb. So it’s clearly all weapons related. We have well over 13,000 alleged life science scientists involved in research development testing biological weapons here in the United States. Actually this goes back, it even precedes 9/11, 2001. I have another book, The Future of International Law and American Foreign Policy, tracing that all the way back to the Reagan administration under the influence of the neocons. And they got very heavily involved in research development testing of biological weapons with DNA genetic engineering. It was because of that I issued my plea in 1985 in a Congressional briefing sponsored by the Council for Responsible Genetics — I’m a lawyer for them; they’re headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. All the MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Harvard people are involved in that, the principal ones, and then they asked me to draft the implementing legislation.

The implementing legislation that I drafted was originally designed to stop this type of work. Death science work, I call it, by the United States government. After 9/11, 2001, it just completely accelerated. My current figure [is] that last figure, a 100 billion [dollars]. I haven’t had a chance to re-crunch the numbers because I just started classes. But you have to add in about another 5 billion per year. Basically, this is an offensive biological weapons race by the United States government, and with its assistance in Canada and Britain. And so other States of the world have responded accordingly, including Russia and China. They were going to set up a whole series of BSL-4 facilities as well. And you know Wuhan was the first. It backfired on them.

HM: So would you boil down what happened [in] Wuhan to ineptitude or incompetence on the Chinese part?

FB: Well, it’s criminality. It does appear they stole something there from Winnipeg. This activity that they engaged in clearly violates the Biological Weapons Convention. Research development of biological weapons these days is an international crime. I mean the use of it would be. That was criminal. I’m not saying they deliberately inflicted this on their own people, but it leaked out of there. And all these BSL-4 facilities leak. Everyone knows that who studies this. So, this was a catastrophe waiting to happen. Unfortunately, it happened. The Chinese government under Xi and his comrades there have been covering this up from the get-go. The first reported case was December 1, so they’ve been sitting on this until they couldn’t anymore. And everything they’re telling you is a lie. It’s propaganda. The WHO still refuses to declare a global health emergency. It said Tedros [Adhanom], Director-General of the WHO] was over there shaking hands with Xi and smiling and yucking it up. The WHO was in on it. They’ve approved many of these BSL-4 labs, they know exactly what’s going on. And that is a WHO research approved laboratory. So they know what’s going on too. You can’t really believe anything the WHO is telling you about this either, they’re up to their eyeballs in it, in my opinion.

HM: I’d probably agree with you that this outbreak in Wuhan was an accidental leak from the laboratory. But just your thoughts: it’s happening at quite an opportune time because we’re smack in the middle of a US-China new Cold War, which is currently characterised by economic warfare such as the trade war among other forms of hybrid and technological warfare. And it seems the Wuhan outbreak will likely hit the Chinese economy hard. The Chinese are flat out dismissing any idea that the US is involved. Like I said, it’s probably they made the mistakes in the Wuhan lab. But what are your thoughts. Seemingly, this would benefit the US.

FB: When the outbreak occurred, of course I considered that alternative too. When you have an outbreak you’re never quite sure who or what is behind it. It certainly isn’t bats, that’s ridiculous. They made the same argument on Ebola in West Africa. I demolished that online, you can check it out. So I kept competing theories about this. But right now, when you originally contacted me, I said I wasn’t prepared to comment because I was weighing the evidence. I’m a law professor and a lawyer, I try to do the best I can to weigh the evidence. But right now, that Wuhan BSL-4 in my opinion is the most likely source. Apply Occam’s razor, the simplest explanation. I’m not ruling out some type of sabotage. But right now, I believe that is the source here. HM: You mentioned WHO. I’d like to just get your thoughts on the WHO and the Big Pharma [pharmaceutical companies]. There’s also some analysts who are downplaying this news media hype of the coronavirus. You’ve just said that it seems to be lethal, but if we go back a decade to the 2009 swine flu, which I believe didn’t have too many casualties, but I think profited greatly the pharmaceutical companies. And if I recall, back in 2009, many countries purchased great stocks of the vaccines and they ended up not using anywhere from 50 to 80% of the vaccines that they purchased. You’ve previously stated in an interview that the World Health Organisation is a front for Big Pharma, if I’m not mistaken. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also agrees and he says, you know, 50% of WHO funding comes from pharmaceutical companies, and that the CDC itself is also severely compromised. What are your thoughts on the WHO, the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]?

FB: You can’t trust anything the WHO says because they’re all bought and paid for by Big Pharma. And they work in cahoots with the CDC, which is the United States government, they work in cahoots with Fort Detrick, so you can’t trust any of it. However, the swine flu — and yes, I agree pharma made a lot of money — but that swine flu which I looked at it, it did seem to me to be a genetically modified biological warfare weapon. It was a chimera of three different types of genetic strains that someone put together in a cocktail. Fortunately, it was not as lethal as all of us fear. So fine. But as I said, this figure I just gave to you was Saturday from Lancet, which is a medical publication, saying it’s a 15% fatality rate and an 83% infection rate. So it’s quite serious, I think, far more serious than swine flu.

As for Big Pharma, sure they’re all trying to profit off this today as we speak. There was a big article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, all Big Pharma trying to peddle whatever they can over there in China even if it’s worthless and won’t help. We do know you know if you read the mainstream news media they say that there isn’t a vaccine. Well, there is. It’s by the Pirbright Institute in Britain that’s tied into their biological warfare program over there. They were behind the hoof-and-mouth [aka foot-and-mouth] disease outbreak over there that wiped out their cattle herd and it leaked out of there. So it’s clear they’re working on a hoof and mouth biological warfare weapon. But the vaccine is there. I have the patent for it here — I haven’t had a chance to read the patent, it’s about 25 pages long and my classes [have] just resume[d]. So eventually, I'll get some free time and I’ll read the patent.

You can’t patent a vaccine with the United States patent office unless the science is there. So there is a vaccine. Everyone’s lying about that, no one’s pointing this out. There’s a vaccine but instead Big Pharma wants to make money and the researchers say, well, it’ll take three months and we’re racing forward, you know. Everyone’s gonna make a buck off of this, that’s for sure. But there is a vaccine, I have the patent here. It’s been patented by the United States government. So, obviously, I don’t know exactly how workable it is, but it’s a vaccine. I don’t know why it isn’t out there now? Why isn’t someone saying there is a vaccine? Perhaps political leaders have already been vaccinated for all I know. I really don’t know. But there is a vaccine. Pirbright is well known there in Britain, and it’s tied into Fort Detrick, and CDC is tied into Fort Detrick too. So they all know there’s a patented vaccine.

HM: Just to get your comment on something related to this... I think, I’m not sure, if it’s that same Institute that you just mentioned that has the patent. I read somewhere that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation maybe funds or has some connection to that Institute that has the patent.

FB: I think they do. Yeah. The Bill & Melinda Gates [Foundation], they fund this type of DNA genetically-engineered biological warfare work. That’s correct. So you can’t trust anything they’re telling you, that somehow they’re out there trying to make the world a better place. I mean, we have Bill Gates publicly admitting that the world be a better place if there were a lot less people. So, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing, and they are funding this type of stuff. Sure. [Now allied with the Vatican, arch population controller Gates has been touted as a potential funding partner of the Pope's sulphurous Global Education Pact, due to kick off in Rome this May, with a view to creating a "new humanism."]

HM: And just your comment: there was also the report that — I guess it was a consortium of companies which included the Gates Foundation — that just two or three months ago in October of 2019 they held a pandemic exercise simulating an outbreak. I mean, what are the chances specifically of a coronavirus. It was called Event 201. People can find this online online and they gave a list of seven recommendations for governments and international organisations to take. I also find that kind of interesting, how they had this simulation.

FB: That’s correct. It raises that question: the origins of what happened here. But right now, I’m just looking at the evidence I have, and applying Occam’s razor. And we know that Wuhan BSL-4 was researching, developing, testing, SARS as a biological warfare agent. So it could have been they gave it this DNA genetic engineering enhanced properties, gain of function, which we do here in the West, in the United States all the time. We have all sorts of research that is clearly bio-warfare research that has been approved by the National Institutes of Health. It’s a joke. They know full well they are approving all kinds of biological warfare research. And it gets funded by the United States government.

HM: And you’ve also mentioned in an email to me that what happened in the Biosafety Lab level 4 in Wuhan calls into question the safety of all of these level 3 and 4 four labs around the world.

FB: They’re completely unsafe. BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs are only designed for research, development, testing of offensive biological warfare agents. In my opinion they serve no legitimate purpose at all. They should all be shut down. Every one of them. Simply, they’re too dangerous. If you want, there’s an excellent documentary called Anthrax Wars, by Nadler and Coen, and I’m in there repeatedly, and at the end I say, with respect to these labs, 3 and 4, this is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

HM: We’ll be talking about the Wuhan and the coronavirus and China, but can you give us kind of like a bigger context. I know you’ve previously in interviews said that since 9/11, you think that the US has spent $100 billion on biological warfare research.

You’ve commented how in Africa, [the]US has set up bioweapons labs to work on Ebola, which I think is illegal under international law. But they were allowed somehow to put those in Africa. Can you give us like a bigger picture? What’s going on with these different countries and what’s the purpose of this research?(The Coronavirus C over-up, published in Christian Order, March 2020, issue. For ordering information,)

Thomas A. Droleskey’s 2020 Observations About the Boyle Interview

There are several important points that I want to highlight for the readers of Christ or Chaos.

First, the information provided by Dr. Francis Boyle is very important for all those who read this article to consider and digest.

Second, Catholics have got to understand and accept the fact that Dr. Francis Boyle is entirely correct when he states that one must believe nothing—as in absolutely nothing—that is said by officials of the United States Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization about how to “stop” the China Virus. It is thus nothing less than tragic that many fully traditional Catholic clergy believe anything these purveyors of evil say as their agenda is ideological and thus has nothing to do with legitimate public health. Once again, the China Virus crisis is all about social control, not public health. Does the fact that Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has cover-up cholera cases in his native Ethiopia and that he is a lifelong member of a terrorist organization mean anything? See World Health Organization President Tedro Adhaanom Ghebreyeus Covered Up Cholera Outbreaks in His Native Ethiopia.

This is in no way to denigrate the fact that there is the coronavirus can be deadly for a percentage of those who contract it. However, we must recognize that this is a manufactured crisis that is being exploited for nefarious ends by our statist minders to see just how far they can push the unwashed masses.

Third, various outbreaks in recent years (SARS, MERS, Swine Flu, Asian Bird Flu, etc.) were all deadly, and the total number of deaths in the United States of America alone during this current “flu season,” which began on October 1, 2019, through March 14, 2019, is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control, for whatever that’s worth, to run between 23,000 and 59,000 in the United States of America alone (see Preliminary In-Season Estimates of the Annual  Infulenza Cases and Deaths ). The total number of those who have died from the China Virus/Coronavirus worldwide stands at 42,322 as of the time of the revision of this commentary on Wednesday, April 1, 2020, and 4,054 here in the United States of America (Worldometers: Coronavirus).

The highest numbers of deaths from the China Virus have occurred here in the United States of America and in Red China, Iran and Italy, where the China Virus has hit especially hard because of the country’s reliance upon Chinese-based businesses and immigrant workers to compensate for the declining birth rate that the country has visited upon itself by means of contraception and abortion. For a detailed analysis of how Iran and Italy have relied upon the assistance of the Chicoms and Chinese nationals to sustain their economies, please see Iran and Italy are paying a hefty price for close times with Communist China. For a balanced view of the hysteria caused by the China Virus publicity, see Evidence Over Hysteria.

Undaunted, however, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, co-wrote in an article published on March 26, 2020, in The New England Journal of Medicine, that the actual death rate of the China Virus may be lower than that for the annual influenza outbreaks but that this actually is one to encourage the further use of quarantines and lockdowns:

On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.⁴ In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.⁵ report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively. . . .

However, given the efficiency of transmission as indicated in the current report, we should be prepared for Covid-19 to gain a foothold throughout the world, including in the United States. Community spread in the United States could require a shift from containment to mitigation strategies such as social distancing in order to reduce transmission. Such strategies could include isolating ill persons (including voluntary isolation at home), school closures, and telecommuting where possible.⁹

A robust research effort is currently under way to develop a vaccine against Covid-19.¹⁰ We anticipate that the first candidates will enter phase 1 trials by early spring. Therapy currently consists of supportive care while a variety of investigational approaches are being explored.¹¹ Among these are the antiviral medication lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, chloroquine, and a variety of traditional Chinese medicine products.¹¹ Once available, intravenous hyperimmune globulin from recovered persons and monoclonal antibodies may be attractive candidates to study in early intervention. Critical to moving the field forward, even in the context of an outbreak, is ensuring that investigational products are evaluated in scientifically and ethically sound studies. (New England Journal of Medicine, March 26, 2020.)

Yet it is that Dr. Anthony Fauci said only three days later on Passion Sunday, March 29, 2020, that there will be between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths because of the Chinese Virus (see Fauci says deaths to range between 100,000 and 200,00), although he said at the White House daily press briefing on Passion Sunday that this projection was based on computer “modeling,” a methodology that has not proved to be quite unreliable with respect to other supposed scientific “facts” such as “man-made climate change” (see If the Covid-19 models are wrong, what does this mean for climate models?).

 Speaking after President Donald John Trump delivered the news on Tuesday in Passion Week, March 31, 2020, Dr. Fauci is sticking with his projection of between 100,000 to 240,000 people will die from the China Virus within the next two weeks (see Trump tells Americans to prepare for a very painful  two weeks as White House releases extended coronavirus  guidelines.)

These projections are all educated guesses that may have nothing at all to do with reality. To paraphrase from the famous book How to Lie With Statistics, a book written by Darrell Huff in 1954 and has gone through numerous editions in the past sixty-six years, “If you can’t prove what you want to prove with your statistics, prove something else.”

Dr. Fauci has also stated that there is going to be a second wave of the coronavirus in the fall, although he expects that the government and “healthcare” community will be better able to handle it then than at the present time (Fauci predicts another coronavirus outbreak in the fall in the United States of America).

Dr. Fauci may believe this to be the case. However, there is no reason to expect that things will be any different in the fall than they are now, and certainly no reason to expect that the statists who have a taste of how easy it is to lock people in their homes and keep them away from their jobs are going to use any excuse to continue doing so in the future.

Other “experts” that the rate of deaths caused by the coronavirus as a percentage of those who are diagnosed with it is actually very low:

The coronavirus may not be as deadly as previously suggested, according to a new study that accounts for cases that were not diagnosed.

The study published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases estimated that the death rate will be 0.66%, which is much lower than figures between 2% and 3.4% that have come out of Wuhan, China, according to CNN.

Researchers said the lower coronavirus mortality rate was determined by accounting for cases that went undiagnosed — possibly because they were mild or had no symptoms.

To do this, researchers used modeling based on the number of detected cases among repatriated citizens who were aggressively tested for the virus.

But in line with other studies, the researchers found that the majority of fatalities are among adults who were age 80 or older.

“There might be outlying cases that get a lot of media attention, but our analysis very clearly shows that at aged 50 and over, hospitalization is much more likely than in those under 50, and a greater proportion of cases are likely to be fatal,” Azra Ghani, a professor at Imperial College London and an author of the study, said in a statement.

Researchers noted the death rate for coronavirus is still “substantially higher” than the flu, which leads to death in 0.1% of cases.

“Even though the fatality rate is low for younger people, it is very clear that any suggestion of COVID-19 being just like influenza is false,” Shigui Ruan, a professor in the department of mathematics at the University of Miami, wrote in an accompanying commentary. (Covid-19 Death Rate Lower than Previously Reported: Study.)

This study will do nothing to dispel the hysteria at work in the United States of America and the world at this time.

Look, we cannot live our lives without risk. Most people alive today have been nurtured on the lies of biological, social, philosophical, theological and liturgical Darwinism. Biological Darwinism was the result of Hegelianism’s dialectical principle of a “philosophical” evolution resulting from what Georg Friedrich Hegel contended was a constant conflict between a thesis and its antithesis that produces a synthesis, which itself become a “new thesis” that spawns another antithesis and yet another synthesis. This evolutionary process does not end until it has reached the stage of “philosophical idealism,” a stage that is totally imaginary. Men who believe in evolutionism, no matter how inchoately, come to believe that science is “god,” and that there is no disease that man cannot conquer.

In other words, most people today spend their lives trying to use the “infallible” advice of doctors, scientists, nutritionists and “mental health experts” to enjoy a long life without suffering and illness only to die  unprepared for the moment of their Particular Judgment, which most of them do not even accept or understand, obviously.

We are eyewitnesses to a worldwide refusal to accept sickness and mortality as the means to suffer in reparation for one’s sins. No matter the weaponized origins of the China Virus, God is using it as a means to bring His rational creatures back to Him. Sadly, though, most people just want to “get on” with their lives again, refusing to believe that our statist minders and eugenicists will never permit us to experience “normal again.”

Yes, this is all about social control and mandatory vaccinations to “keep us safe” and proof of which will be necessary to get onboard any form of public transportation, including an airplane, and perhaps even to get or renew a driver’s license, a passport or to enter a grocery store or other place of commercial business.

Too far-fetched?

I don’t think so.

One must realize that the current “mitigation” strategies being used to contain the Chinese Virus have not been employed with respect the seasonal influenza outbreaks because they are so common. It must take something that is out of the ordinary—indeed, has been biologically engineered in a Chicom laboratory with funding provided by the anti-population Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—for these monstrous organizations to conduct massive social-engineering experiments to control us all.

Without for a single moment the seriousness of coronavirus nor to discount the intense, excruciating suffering of those who have had serious cases of coronavirus nor the grief of those whose relatives have died from it, the fact remains that the China Virus is being used to accustom us to periodic “lockdowns” that will be lifted only when there is a “coronavirus vaccine” that will be mandated upon everyone and, ultimately, spread the disease more rapidly, thus resulting in “lockdowns” of a more permanent nature.

Yes, We Knew Early on That Anthony Fauci Was a Deep State Monster

A video produced by prominent Protestant vaccine truth crusaders Ty and Charlene Bollinger in March of 2020 featured the nefarious activities of the ubiquitous Dr. Anthony Fauci, who silenced Dr. Judy Mikovits at the Whittemore Peterson Institute in 2011 when she discovered that the a mouse retrovirus, XXMRV, had contaminated the MMR [measles, mumps, rubella), polio and encephalitis vaccines that are given to children and soldiers, thus causing a national health crisis.

Dr. Mikovits’s studies and her research were confiscated, and she was eventually sent to jail, briefly, before dismisses against her were dismissed by the district attorney of Washoe County, Nevada, for refusing to sign a document in which she disowned her findings. These are her own words as contained in the Bollingers’ video:

What Tony Fauci, Iam Lipkin and Harold Varmus did was pressure me to withdraw our manuscript. I refused again.” (W.H.O’s Not Telling the Truth.)

The Bollingers noted that Anthony Fauci gave his own career vaccine program priority above the safety and health of Americans.

Dr. Mikovits went on to say:

“When I refused to be silent, Dr. Fauci stepped in and ordered that my computer and notebooks be confiscated and orchestrated the retraction of our science paper [that had been published in Science magazine, which is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science]. He then removed all my funding and prevented me from getting a job in government research from 2012 forward.” (W.H.O’s Not Telling the Truth.)

Dr. Mikovits has also co-authored a book on her experiences: Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for Truth About Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrom (ME/CFS) Autism, and Other Diseases.)

Only willfully blind can refused to accept the fact that the pseudo-scientific Anthony Fauci abused his power, misused his office, engaged in an active campaign to discredit and remove the professional credentials of those who dissented from his diktats, and is responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of human beings because of his phony-baloney “protocols” during the plandemic that sought to prevent early intervention treatment of patients infected with the Wuhan Virus and from the poisoned jabs developed to “prevent” its spread.

The video continued to note that in 2015 the administration of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro placed a moratorium on the funding of “gain-of-function” studies involving the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related coronavirus). Here is the announcement of this moratorium as found on the Obama White House archive pages:

Following recent biosafety incidents at Federal research facilities, the U.S. Government has taken a number of steps to promote and enhance the Nation’s biosafety and biosecurity, including immediate and longer term measures to review activities specifically related to the storage and handling of infectious agents. 

As part of this review, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Department of Health and Human Services today announced that the U.S. Government is launching a deliberative process to assess the potential risks and benefits associated with a subset of life sciences research known as “gain-of-function” studies. With an ultimate goal of better understanding disease pathways, gain-of-function studies aim to increase the ability of infectious agents to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or by increasing its transmissibility.

Because the deliberative process launching today will aim to address key questions about the risks and benefits of gain-of-function studies, during the period of deliberation, the U.S. Government will institute a pause on funding for any new studies that include certain gain-of-function experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. Specifically, the funding pause will apply to gain-of-function research projects that may be reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and/or transmissibility in mammals via the respiratory route.

During this pause, the U.S. Government will not fund any new projects involving these experiments and encourages those currently conducting this type of work – whether federally funded or not – to voluntarily pause their research while risks and benefits are being reassessed. The funding pause will not apply to the characterization or testing of naturally occurring influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses unless there is a reasonable expectation that these tests would increase transmissibility or pathogenicity. (Obama White House Archives: Doing Dilgence to Assess Risks and Life Sciences Gain of Function Resarch.)

Well, guess who arranged for the transfer of $3.7 billion from the National Institutes of Health to Wuhan Institute of Virology?

That’s right, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Dr., Rashid Buttar is featured in the Bollingers’ video as saying the following about Fauci’s actions:

“[The] Government passed a moratorium on coronavirus research in 2014. Fauci approved monies and budgets to be sectioned for this type of research. So basically, and every time I think about this it gets me really flustered, I’m so angry. He [Fauci] basically broke the law. He more than broke the law. He created [the entire scenario back in 2015] that caused the world shutdown. He broke the law. He went against government moratoriums, he took taxpayer money and funded research that has now led to the Covid-19.

“In 2017, he [Fauci] was documented at Georgetown University saying that there will be a pandemic that this presidency will face, that this term will face. How did he know in 2017 that something was going to happen in 2018, 2019, or 2020? You can’t predict the market three days from today. How did he know that there was going to be a pandemic? He stated that this president will face a pandemic.” (W.H.O’s Not Telling the Truth.)

Here is a report on what Fauci said at Georgetown University in 2017:

‘If there’s one message that I want to leave with you today that is based on my experience… there is no question that there will be a challenge [for] the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases.

‘But also there will be a surprise outbreak…there is no doubt in anyone’s mind [the administration] will be faced with challenges their predecessors were faced with.’  

Dr. Fauci, who served under five presidential administrations, later added that he cautioned former President George W. Bush to be more concerned with a potential ‘influenza pandemic’ than bioterrorism. 

‘I worry more about the natural occurrence of an influenza pandemic and the ongoing plague of HIV than I do about a bio-terror attack,’ he said, adding that people should pay attention to natural causes.  

In regards to the Trump administration, Fauci mentioned possible challenges that included a resurgence in the Zika Virus or a new flu pandemic.

He said: ‘What is for sure…history has told us definitively that it will happen because infectious diseases [are] a perpetual challenge.’ (Fauci Revealed His Fears of a "Surprise Outbreak" Three Years Before the Pandemic.)

As is now more widely known, Anthony Fauci has worked with the Wuhan Institute Virology in the 2010s on gain- the coronavirus.

A new flu pandemic?

Well, I am not a conspiracy theorist.

However, it really does look like Event 201 on October 18, 2019, was at the very least, very “prophetic,” although we may not know until eternity whether we are living through Event 201’s self-fulfilling prophecy.

Here is a review of what Event 201 predicted:

Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.

The exercise consisted of pre-recorded news broadcasts, live “staff” briefings, and moderated discussions on specific topics. These issues were carefully designed in a compelling narrative that educated the participants and the audience.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

Purpose

In recent years, the world has seen a growing number of epidemic events, amounting to approximately 200 events annually. These events are increasing, and they are disruptive to health, economies, and society. Managing these events already strains global capacity, even absent a pandemic threat. Experts agree that it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global—a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences. A severe pandemic, which becomes “Event 201,” would require reliable cooperation among several industries, national governments, and key international institutions.

Recent economic studies show that pandemics will be the cause of an average annual economic loss of 0.7% of global GDP—or $570 billion. The players’ responses to the scenario illuminated the need for cooperation among industry, national governments, key international institutions, and civil society, to avoid the catastrophic consequences that could arise from a large-scale pandemic.

Similar to the Center’s 3 previous exercises—Clade X, Dark Winter, and Atlantic Storm—Event 201 aimed to educate senior leaders at the highest level of US and international governments and leaders in global industries.

It is also a tool to inform members of the policy and preparedness communities and the general public. This is distinct from many other forms of simulation exercises that test protocols or technical policies of a specific organization. Exercises similar to Event 201 are a particularly effective way to help policymakers gain a fuller understanding of the urgent challenges they could face in a dynamic, real-world crisis.

Scenario

Details about the scenario are available here.

Recommendations

The next severe pandemic will not only cause great illness and loss of life but could also trigger major cascading economic and societal consequences that could contribute greatly to global impact and suffering. The Event 201 pandemic exercise, conducted on October 18, 2019, vividly demonstrated a number of these important gaps in pandemic preparedness as well as some of the elements of the solutions between the public and private sectors that will be needed to fill them. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations. (Center for Health and Security: Event 201 .)

Just a coincidence?

World economic collapse?

Controlling the movement of citizens?

Effectively suspending all legitimate liberties found in the Order of Creation (Nature), no less the various provisions of national constitutions?

Just a coincidence?

One will notice that Event 201 was funded by the John Hopkins Center for Health Security and by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

This is even more interesting when Gates himself admitted that he had told President Donald John Trump in March of 2017 not to appoint a commission to examination vaccination safety that would have been chaired by Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr. Trump was stupid enough to listen to Gates, and Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx have been relying on the Imperial College “models” to justify the violation of legitimate human liberties while also touting the “statistics” provided by Johns Hopkins University that exaggerated the inflated number of coronavirus cases than were being reported as such at the time.

The covid autopsies are good, but I will point out to this website’s readers that all this was covered contemporaneously as it happened in my “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” series, the links to which and to related commenataries can be found right here: part one, part two,  part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven, part eight, part nine, part ten, part eleven,  part twelve, part fourteen—I guess I lost track of the number as there is no “part thirteen,” part fifteen, part sixteen, part seventeen, part eighteen,  part nineteen, part twenty, part twenty-one, part twenty-two, part twenty-four—lost track of the count again!, Sin: More Deadly Than Any Virus's False "Antidotes", God is Omnipotent.

There are a few articles that I may have missed. However, these are most of the ones about the scamdemic and the jabs that I have written in the past seventy-four months. There are several volumes of books represented by those articles, but I would need the help of a volunteer to put them together, which is something I do not have the time to do.)

Although the whole scademic and its aftermath have been exploited by leaders in the United States of America and around the world to their own maximum benefits, nations can never be made “safe” from any threats to public health and safety when people sin unrepentantly and, quite indeed, are defiant in their mockery of all that is true and in their arrogant celebrate that which brings disorder into their own lives and thus spread a pandemic of spiritual diseases throughout the world, sin, which is why we must be intent upon making reparation for our own sins as we resolve to cooperate more fully with graces won for by Our Lord during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday and He sends us through the loving hands of His Most Blessed Mother, the Mediatrix of All Graces, by the working of God the Ghost in the sacraments.

It is always good, therefore, to keep in mind that the chastisements of this age in which mere mortals play God and treat fellow men as objects to used, experimented upon, or disposed of at will are punishments for our own sins, our own worldliness, our own lukewarmness, our own reluctance to seek to grow in virtue and sanctity. We are more to blame for the problems that exist in these our days than we would like to admit, which is why we must rejoice in the midst of suffering and persecution as this is a sign that Our Lord is done not with us, that we are not reprobated to have a “good time” here in preparation for a very bad time without end hereafter.

Most importantly, of course, is the fact that we are never alone in any suffering that we are asked to bear. We have Our Lady, Saint Joseph, our Guardian Angels and Patron Saints, and a whole host of canonized and uncanonized white and red martyrs in the Church Triumphant in Heaven and in the Church Suffering in Purgatory to help to love God more purely, obey Him more readily, and serve Him more willingly.

Unlike the merciless men of a merciless world, we know that we are at the mercy of Our Divine Redeemer, Whose Most Sacred Heart beats with inexpressible, personal love for us, and that we are the beneficiaries of the intercessory prayers of the Queen of Mercy, Our Lady, who cooperated fully in her Divine Son’s Redemptive Act on Mount Calvary, she who is the Queen of Martyrs given to us by her Divine Son Himself to be our own Blessed Mother as she stood so valiantly at the good of His Holy Cross.

Thus, we beg Our Lady to help us recognize that nothing we suffer in this passing, mortal vale of tears is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused her Divine Son to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His fearful Passion and Death and that caused her own Immaculate Heart to become us the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart as she suffered the Seven Swords of Sorrow to be thrust through it out of love for God and love for us, her spiritual children by adoption.

Every Rosary we pray helps to plant a few seeds for the miraculous conversion of men and their nations to submit themselves as of yore to Christ the King and for the restoration of a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter to whom all men will reverence and obey, not mock and defy.

Our Lady of the Rosary, for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.

Appendix

Dom Prosper Gueranger On the Feast of Saints John and Paul

Amidst the numerous sanctuaries which adorn the capital of the Christian universe, the church of Saints John and Paul has remained from the early date of its origin one of the chief centers of Roman piety. From the summit of the Cœlian Hill it towers over the Coliseum, the dependencies of which stretch subterraneously even as far as the cellarage of the house once inhabited by our Saints. They, the last of the Martyrs, completed the glorious crown offered to Christ by Rome, the chosen seat of his power. The conflict in which their blood was spilt consummated the triumph whose hour was sounded under Constantine, but which an offensive retaliation on the part of hell seemed about to compromise.

No attack could be conceived more odious for the Church than that devised by the apostate Cæsar. Nero and Diocletian had violently and with hatred declared against the Incarnate God a war of sword and torture; and without recrimination, Christians by thousands had died, knowing that the testimony thus demanded was merely the order of things, just as it had been (1 Timothy 6:13) before a Pontius Pilate, and upon the cross. But with the clever astuteness of a traitor, and the affected disdain of a false philosopher, Julian purposed to stifle Christianity amidst the bulrushes of an oppression progressive to a nicety, and respectfully abhorrent of human blood. Merely to preclude Christians from public offices, and to prohibit them from holding chairs for the teaching of youth, that was all the apostate aimed at! However, the blood which he wanted to avoid shedding must flow, even though a hypocrite’s hands be dyed therewith; for, according to the divine plan, bloodshed alone can bring extreme situations to an issue, and never was Holy Church menaced with greater peril. They would now make a slave of her whom they had beheld still holding her royal liberty in face of executioners. They would now await the moment when, once enslaved, she would at last disappear of herself, in powerlessness and degradation. For this reason the bishops of that time found vent for their indignant soul in accents such as their predecessors had spared to princes whose brute violence was then inundating the empire with Christian blood. They now retorted upon the tyrant scorn for scorn; and the manifestations of contempt that consequently came showering in from every quarter upon the crowned fool, completely unmasked at last his feigned moderation. Julian was now shown up as nothing but a common persecutor of the usual kind; blood flowed, the Church was rescued.

Thus is explained the gratitude which this noble Bride of the Son of God has never ceased to manifest to these glorious Martyrs we are celebrating today: for amidst the many generous Christians whose outspoken indignation brought about the solution of this terrible crisis, none are more illustrious than they. Julian was most anxious to count them among his confidants: with this view, he made use of every entreaty, as we learn from the Breviary Lessons; nor does it appear that he even made the renouncing of Jesus Christ a condition. Well then, it may be retorted, why not yield to the Imperial whim? Could they not do so without wounding their conscience? Surely too much stiffness would be rather calculated to ill-dispose the prince, perhaps even fatally. Whereas to listen to him would very likely have a soothing effect upon him; nay, possibly even bring him round to relax somewhat of those administrative trammels unfortunately imposed upon the Church by his prejudiced government. Yea, for aught one knew, the possible conversion of his soul, the return of so many of the misled who had followed him in his fall, might be the result! Should not such things as these deserve some consideration? should they not impose, as a duty, some gentle handling? Ah! yes; such reasoning as this would doubtless appear to some people as wise policy. Such preoccupation for the apostate’s salvation could easily have had nothing in it but what was inspired by zeal for the Church and for souls; and indeed the most exacting casuist could not find it a crime for John and Paul to dwell in a court where nothing was demanded of them contrary to the divine precepts. Nevertheless the two brothers resolved otherwise; to the course of soothing and reserve-making, they preferred that of the frank expression of their sentiments, and this bold out-speaking of theirs put the tyrant in a fury and brought about their death. The Church has judged their case, and she has found them not in the wrong; hence, it is unlikely that the former path would have led them to a like degree of sanctity in God’s sight.

The names of John and Paul inscribed on the sacred diptychs show well enough their credit in the eyes of the Divine Victim, who never offers Himself to the God Thrice-Holy without blending their memory with that of His own immolation. The enthusiasm excited by the noble attitude of these two valiant witnesses to the Lord, still re-echoes in the Antiphons and Responsories proper to the Feast. It was formerly preceded by a Vigil and fast; together with the sanctuary which encloses their tomb, it may be said to date as far back as the very morrow of their martyrdom. Granted by a singular privilege a place in the Leonian Sacramentary; whilst so many other martyrs slept their sleep of peace outside the walls of the Holy City, John and Paul reposed in Rome itself, the definitive conquest of which had been won for the God of armies by their gallant combat. That very same day of the year immediately succeeding their victorious death (June 26, 363), Julian fell dead, uttering against heaven his cry of rage: “Galilean, thou hast conquered!”

From the Queen City of the universe their renown, passing beyond the mountains, shone forth almost as soon and with nearly equal splendor in the Gauls. Returned from the scene of his own struggle in the cause of the Divinity of Jesus Christ, Hilary of Poitiers at once propagated their cultus. This great Bishop was called to our Lord scarce five years after their martyrdom; but he had already found time to consecrate to their name the church in which his loving hands had laid his sweet daughter Abra and her mother, awaiting the hour when he too should be joined to them in the same spot, expecting the day of the Resurrection. It was from this very church of Saints John and Paul, called later on St. Hilary the Great’s, that Clovis on the eve of the battle of Vouillé beheld streaming towards him that mysterious light, presage of the victory which would result in the expulsion of Arianism from the Gauls, and in the foundation of monarchical unity. These holy Martyrs continued, in after years, to show the interest they took in the advancement of the kingdom of God by the Franks. When the disastrous issue of the second Crusade was filling the soul of St. Bernard with bitterness (for he had preached it), they appeared to him, upraised his courage, and manifested by what secrets the King of Heaven had known how to draw His own glory out of events in which man saw only failure and disaster. (Bern. Ep. 386. al. 333. Joannis Casæ-Marii ad Bern.)

Let us now read the simple and touching Legend consecrated by the Church to the two Brethren.

John and Paul, Roman brethren, fed the poor of Christ out of the riches left to them by Constantia, Constantine’s daughter, whom they had faithfully and piously served. Being invited into the number of his familiars, by Julian the Apostate, they boldly refused, declaring that they had no wish to be in company of one who had forsaken Jesus Christ. “Whereupon, he gave them ten days for deliberation, at the end of which term, they must know for certain they were to die, unless they would consent to attach themselves to him and to sacrifice to Jupiter.

They, meanwhile, employed the time in distributing the remainder of their goods to the poor, so that they might the quicker go to the Lord, and that there might be more persons helped by them, through whose means they might be received into the eternal tabernacles. On the tenth day, Terentianus Prefect of the praetorian guard was sent to them, bringing with him the statue of Jupiter, that they might worship it, and he expounded unto them the Emperor’s mandate: to wit, that unless they would pay homage to Jupiter, they must forthwith die. They, still continuing their prayer, replied that they hesitated not to suffer death for the faith of Christ, whom they with both mind and mouth did adore as God.

Now Terentianus was afraid lest there should ensue a popular tumult were they executed in public, so there and then, on the sixth of the Kalends of July, and in their own house, their heads being struck off, they were secretly buried; whilst the rumor was spread abroad that John and Paul had been sent into banishment. But their death was published by the unclean spirits that began to torment a number of persons whose bodies they possessed: amongst whom was the son of Terentianus, who being troubled by a devil, was led to the sepulcher of the martyrs and there freed. By the which miracle, both he and his father Terentianus believed in Christ; Terentianus himself, as it is said, afterwards wrote the history of their blessed Martyrdom. (Matins. Divine Office, Feast of Saints John and Paul.)

Twofold is the triumph that thrills through heaven and twofold the gladness re-echoed on earth, this day, whilst your out-poured blood proclaims the victory of the Son of God! Verily, by the martyrdom of the Faithful, doth Christ triumph. The effusion of His own Blood marked the defeat of the prince of this world; the Blood of His mystical members possesses, alone and always, the power of establishing His reign. Contest has never been an evil for the Church Militant; the noble Bride of the God of armies delights in combat; for she knows right well, her Spouse came upon earth to bring not peace, but the sword. (Matthew 10:34) Therefore, unto the end of time, will she hold up as an example to her sons, your chivalrous courage and your bold frankness, which scorned to dissimulate your utter contempt for an apostate tyrant, or to suffer you to dwell for a moment on such considerations, as might perhaps, had you listened to him at the first, have just saved your conscience, together with life. Woe to the day, wherein the deceptive mirage of guileful peace, misleads minds; wherein, merely because sin, properly so called, does not stare them in the face, Christian souls stoop from the lofty standpoint of their Baptism, to compromises which even a pagan world would avoid. Glorious Brethren! make the children of holy Church to turn aside from that fatal error which would lead them to misconceptions of sacred traditions received by them in heritage; maintain the sons of God at the full height of those noble sentiments demanded by their heavenly origin, by the throne that awaits them, by the divine Blood they daily drink of; far from them be all such base-born notions, such vulgarity, — as would be calculated to excite against their heavenly Father, the blasphemies of the accursed city! Now-a-days there has arisen a persecution not dissimilar to that in which you gained the crown; Julian’s plan of action is once more in vogue; if these mimics of the apostate equal him not in intelligence, they at least surpass him in hatred and hypocrisy. But God is not wanting to His Church now, any more than He was then; obtain for us the grace to do our part in resistance, as was done by you, and the victory will be the same.

Your very names, O John and Paul, remind us of the Friend of the Bridegroom whose Octave is speeding its course; and of that Paul of the Cross who revived, in the last century, heroism of sanctity in your very house on Monte Cœlio. Vouchsafe to unite your protection, powerful as indeed it is, to that which the Precursor exercises over the Mother and Mistress of all Churches, become by the very fact of her primacy the chief butt of the enemies’ attack; uphold the new militia raised by the necessity of the times, and which is entrusted with the guardianship both of your sacred remains and of those of its glorious Founder. Remembering the power which the Church specially attributes to you, namely, that of opening or shutting the floodgates of heaven, be pleased to bless our harvest well-nigh ripe for the sickle. Be propitious to our reapers and assuage their painful labor. Preserve from lightning man and his possessions, the home that shelters him, the beasts that serve him. Too often, alas, ungrateful and forgetful man would indeed deserve to incur your wrath; but prove yourselves children of Him who maketh His sun to rise upon the wicked as well as upon the good, and giveth His rain to fall alike upon the just and upon sinners. (Matthew 5:45) for us. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saints John and Paul, June 26.)
