The corruption runs deep. For the life of me I cannot figure out why anybody would resist the truth about a pandemic that killed millions of people. It’s next to impossible to hold people accountable with all the inner protection going on.
We are seeing this underhand and deceitful behaviour far too often in politics - in the US with this senate enquiry - and in the UK where health officials deleted WhatsApp records to make sure there was no audit trail to lead back to things they had said and done - things that have done untold damage to (tens of? hundreds of?) millions of people around the world.
Fauci should swing for his lies - along with the rest of those who tried to subvert the truth.
Imagine if all members of the House and Senate were required to list the source of their political donors (even the source of funding for NGOs) and related amounts before hearings and legislative actions? Would any of them recuse themselves? Who would be left?
Journalists, scientists, academics, medical professionals, bureaucrats, corporate HR departments, insurers, and investors etc who have gone along with this charade will find (at a minimum) negative karma visiting them as a consequence of their actions. No one will escape.
Bottom line: they're no longer journalists. I loved the quote Taibbi threw out from Walter Winchell, I think (Taibbi wears his romance with old school "muckraking" journalism on his sleeve). Taibbi says someone asked Winchell if he was a jounalist and Winchell replied something like, "Yes, but don't tell anyone. My mother still thinks I'm a piano player at a whorehouse." I asked Google's Gemini what "muckraking" means when applied to journalism and it returrned:
""Muckraking" refers to a type of investigative journalism that was prominent during the Progressive Era (1890s-1920s) in the United States. These journalists, often called muckrakers, aimed to expose corruption and wrongdoing in powerful institutions like businesses and government. Their work brought public attention to social problems and injustices.
Here's a breakdown of the term:
Investigative: Muckrakers didn't just report on surface-level issues. They dug deep, gathering evidence and uncovering the truth about hidden scandals.
Corruption: A major focus of muckrakers was exposing corrupt practices, like bribery, political machines, and unfair business dealings.
Social problems: Muckrakers also shed light on social issues like poverty, unsafe working conditions, and racial discrimination.
The term "muckraker" was actually coined by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. While some saw it as a criticism (focusing too much on negativity), many journalists embraced the term as a symbol of their fight for reform."
I watched the hearing and not only did he not seem to know what his group was doing but had no problem throwing everyone around him under the bus.
As they so deserved......

Rats on a sinking ship...
Dingell didn't have to worry; Fauci was more than happy to throw Morens under the bus.

Dingell worked at GM and is related to Fischer Brothers who built GM car bodies. Maybe she knows something!
