    More weaponization from this administration now the CIA---  This seems like a very communist thing to do...  It well appears this White House is hell-bent on weaponizing any of our Federal agencies.  DO YOU CARE?

    "A multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer has come forward to provide information to the Committees regarding the Agency’s analysis into the origins of COVID-19,"

    FIRST ON FOX: A CIA whistleblower told Congress that the agency offered officials on a team investigating COVID-19 origins "significant monetary incentive" to change their positions, from that it originated out of a leak from the Wuhan lab to "unable to determine" the origins, Fox News Digital has learned.

    Fox News Digital obtained letters House Coronavirus Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner sent to the CIA and a former official.

    "The Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the Agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19," Wenstrup and Turner wrote to CIA Director William Burns Tuesday.

    "A multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer has come forward to provide information to the Committees regarding the Agency’s analysis into the origins of COVID-19," they wrote.

    The whistleblower told Congress that the CIA assigned seven officers to a COVID Discovery Team, which consisted of "multi-disciplinary and experienced officers with significant scientific expertise."

    "According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed that intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China," Wenstrup and Turner wrote.

    "The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the one officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis."

    "The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position," they said.

    Wenstrup and Turner said the allegations come from "a seemingly credible source," and requires the committees to conduct further oversight of "how the CIA handled its internal investigation into the origins of COVID-19."

    The CIA denied the charges

    CIA spokesperson Tammy Kupperman Thorp said: "At CIA we are committed to the highest standards of analytic rigor, integrity, and objectivity.  We do not pay analysts to reach specific conclusions.  We take these allegations extremely seriously and are looking into them.  We will keep our Congressional oversight committees appropriately informed."

    A CIA official says analysts are often given bonuses for work already completed, not to reach certain conclusions.

    The lawmakers set a deadline of Sept. 26, 2023 for the CIA to turn over all records regarding the establishment of the COVID Discovery Teams; records regarding communications from those teams; all documents and records involving CIA communications with all members of federal government agencies including the FBI, State Department, Health and Human Services, Energy Department and more.

    FBI DIRECTOR SAYS COVID PANDEMIC 'MOST LIKELY' ORIGINATED FROM CHINESE LAB

    The lawmakers are also asking for documents and communications regarding "the pay history, to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive/financial bonus to members of all iterations of the COVID Discovery Teams.

      I just have to shake my head at this, anonymous "whistleblower" (has he actually been given that status?) makes claims behind closed doors. There's a whole lot of information missing. Who made the alleged payout, the CIA? Is there a transcript of this man's testimony?

      "Spokesperson for Select Subcommittee Democrats said they "were given no prior notice of a whistleblower's existence, let alone testimony," adding that "without further information regarding this claim from the Majority, we have no ability to assess the allegations at this time.". I think all of us are waiting for the rest of the story but until then what's next?...

      ANONYMOUS BOMBSHELL ..
      "I found Obama's birth certificate on Hillary's private email server using Hunter Biden’s laptop...powered by a Jewish space laser controlled from Comet Pizza's pedo basement via children made into zombies thru Bill Gates' vax chips."

      It feels as if it is getting just that ridiculous.

        I'm inclined to give the whistleblower the benefit of the doubt. His account appears to carry significant credibility as it pertains to an issue involving six other individuals, raising valid questions. His continued employment at the CIA makes anonymity understandable.

        This accusation seems grave and merits investigation. I believe that we may witness an increasing number of credible whistleblowers emerging from various Federal agencies. The majority of dedicated federal employees are honest, far outnumbering the corrupt ones. I am appreciative of their courage.

        "The Central Intelligence Agency offered to pay off analysts in order to bury their findings that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, new whistleblower testimony to Congress alleges.

        A senior-level CIA officer told House committee leaders that his agency tried to pay off six analysts who found SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab if they changed their position and said the virus jumped from animals to humans, according to a letter sent Tuesday to CIA Director William Burns.

        Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) requested all documents, communications and pay info from the CIA’s COVID Discovery Team by Sept. 26.

        “According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” the House panel chairmen wrote."

          Complete corruption... beyond the pale of anything seen throughout history.

          War against foreign nations, corporations, citizens, truth. Long in the making.

          Things have gotten tenfold worse since it was made.

            It is abundantly evident that this administration has weaponized multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and Homeland Security. Numerous whistleblowers have bravely stepped forward to shed light on what's transpiring within these agencies. However, the recent lawsuit filed by Hunter Biden against the IRS, along with IRS agent Shapley, sends a chilling message to potential truth-seekers. 
            Despite Hunter facing several investigations, it's apparent that he is not willing to back away. From my perspective, he seems increasingly cornered. And will most likely pull down Joe with him.

            I will watch you video you offered, It looks reviting.

            Polls show that the majority of Americans are growing disillusioned with  Biden and his administration. The situation at the border is chaotic, and there are concerns that the economy may worsen. It's undeniable that the overall state of the country appears to be deteriorating.

              Its quite the interesting Administration.

              On the one hand... it represents complete social and moral decay (or deconstruction, take your pick) here at home, putting non-binary, transgenders, etc. front and center within the administration as well as giving unprecedented rights and protections through Executive Orders to such.

              On the other hand, we have the complete decay of relations with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, etc. literally pitting half the world's nations and 3.5 Billion people in opposition to America as it pursues war with Russia, BRICS, etc.

              Then there are the other pressing issues, such as not just open borders, but wantonly flooding the nation with millions of undocumented young men who without doubt will become a problem when the economy collapses and we can no longer provide them with "free stuff".

            Thanks for the video recommendation, Ken! Interesting and confirmed some of what I knew to some extent, yet not to the depth of the video presented regarding propaganda.

            My first introduction to what may not be the truth was back in the days of being a long-haired, bearded, performance car enthusiast heading to the drag racing track on the weekends, was the book; None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen (Published 1972) In a sense an introduction to conspiracy theory that may go along the line of propaganda.

            Another element I roomed with four Vietnam vets listening to their 'truths' while they answered my questions as I saw them with sincerity and truthfulness. Opened my eyes in contrast to what I thought I knew from TV. So, in essence, I carry that lesson with me concerning pretty much everything these days. Or, in other words, to a degree, I am a skeptic.

              Allen wrote other books about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, asserting that the term "New World Order" was used by a (not so) secretive elite working towards the destruction of national sovereignty.

              Allen's last book, Say "No!" to the New World Order, was published posthumously in January 1987.

              If one takes the time to read the publications (websites) of the UN's Agenda 2030 as well as the WEF's Great Reset one can better understand their goals, and how any means justifies their ends.

                I hope I was not misleading in mentioning conspiracy theories. What I meant is truths are truths that can be cloaked behind propaganda while at times truths do not become evident even as long as a century or two or much later. I mean look at science jumping from Newton to Neils Bohr and Max Plank with quantum mechanics. And, it continues today.

                Believe me, I pay attention to your posts following them closely reading your referenced articles and watching the videos while may skim them. You are much more on top of those topics than I am. Yet I am interested and curious. It is a matter of time vs. my intentions of what to accomplish in other matters. 

                Yet, from the book, 'None Dare Call It Conspiracy' I became aware in a mature sense at the ripe age of about twenty. The key is the word, 'Aware'.

                It sets a sense that at times what is seen or sensed from the perspective of what is presented written or composed in film is an interpretation - nothing more or less. We are left to decide if true or not while formulating a 'belief' contrast acceptance. They are different in my book. Therefore, one 'may' go on an adventure of learning or not. No matter what, opportunity is presented. However, time is somewhat of the essence, right?

                Sharing, I have been on an adventure studying/researching 'belief' alongside belief systems/ideology for the last two years or more. Interesting!
