Spinning Wuhan With ‘Intelligence’
The corrupt narrative having served its immediate electoral purpose, and it being impossible for all in the media and government to continue prostituting themselves, an unraveling was inevitable.

Joe Biden’s instruction to the U.S. intelligence community to report whether the novel coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is a comical attempt to avoid being discredited by the unraveling narrative that China’s role in the pandemic is another manifestation of racism. You know, the racism that results in Asian Americans being beaten in the streets by white Trump voters insidiously disguised as black Democrats. Having much invested in that narrative, the Democratic Party wants to distance itself from its unavoidable collapse.
Basic facts should be stipulated.
U.S. intelligence does not possess hard facts to prove exactly what happened in that lab. If it had them, it would have informed the previous president as well as the current one.
Nor does U.S. intelligence have sources in China, human or technical, placed and uncompromised, capable of yielding such information. This is not the place to rehearse the well-known near absence of American intelligence agents with the language and cultural skills to penetrate China, or the total lack of operatives with cover to do so, or our intelligence agencies’ deadly allergy to operational security, or the Chinese government’s demonstrated success in corrupting, intimidating, silencing, discrediting, removing, and “disappearing” intelligence assets, or the competence of China’s electronic security.
Or, for that matter, the Chinese government’s success in persuading the U.S. government—the Biden Administration in particular and woke media up till now—in agreeing to an “investigation” of COVID-19’s source designed ab initio to hide rather than reveal.
