PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JULY 31-AUG. 2) — Veni, Vidi, Fauci.

What are we to make of Dr. Anthony Fauci after the good doctor cited his Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination 111 times to every question put to him by Sen. Rand Paul Senate panel. Every one.

In all our years covering politics, THE PLANET has never seen anything like it. At least it answers a mystery that’s puzzled us since President Autopen’s final days in office. Why did Biden grant Fauci a preemptive pardon?

Now we know, because Fauci, in his direction of the manufactured COVID crisis, committed crimes against the American people.

Of course, the coverage of his “testimony” before Paul’s committee reflected the strictly political nature of the hearing itself. Republicans paint Fauci as a medical man in the tradition of Dr. Joseph Mengele. Democrats see him as a combination of Florence Nightingale and Dr. Jim Kildare. The truth likely lies in the middle. After watching the hearing, though, THE PLANET‘s clear on this much: Fauci harmed the nation.

———- ooo ———-

The evidence overwhelmingly points to COVID originating in a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Publicly, Fauci claimed the virus mutated from infected animals. Privately, in the 1000+ pages of his diary made public by Sen. Paul, he says otherwise. COVID, the diary says, is a man-made virus manipulated in the lab.

Wait. It gets better.

Not only was the virus engineered in a lab, but funding for the research was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), headed by none other than Fauci himself. To top it off, COVID seems to have been part of a collaboration with the Chinese on the manufacture of bioweapons, research that began in 2014. The idea of was to develop blueprints for plague.

So much for the “good” doctor.

———- ooo ———-

As we know, the virus escaped the lab. Fauci lied about the severity of the virus to satisfy his ego and power lust. COVID was a nasty flu. As the flu virus will, it killed people, predominately those with underlying health issues. Healthy people were for the most part safe other than being sick as Rin Tin Tin for a few weeks. The virus likely would have died without heroic measures, the way flus and colds do. Herd immunity kicks in.

Nonetheless, Fauci sought the spotlight for his own superstardom. He got the federal government to issue mask mandates, implement the absurdity of “social distancing,” order an unprecedented shutdown of public life, and essentially ordering dubious-but-mandatory vaccinations. Those who resisted lost jobs and were ostracized. People had to deal with loved ones dying alone in hospitals and other care facilities because of the restrictions on assembly. One million kids missed their measles vaccinations because of the COVID hysteria, to say nothing of the mental health issues caused by the years of shutdown.

When the truth about COVID began to emerge, Fauci ordered his office to destroy documents. His assistant testified that “tons of emails” were destroyed, but publicly, Fauci said no documents were deleted. He lied.

The virus, except to say that it enabled an incapacitated Joe Biden to win the presidency by NOT campaigning. He relied instead on his handlers using the virus to tamper with the ballot box. No one yet has explained the 2020 vote. In that election, Biden received almost 12 million more votes than Obama’s then-record haul from 2008? Was that the plan all along?

Have a great weekend, everybody.
