Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance Has Hidden Almost $40 Million In Pentagon Funding And Militarized Pandemic Science
Published on Wednesday, December 16th, 2020 by Independent Science News: Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance Has Hidden Almost $40 Million In Pentagon Funding And Militarized Pandemic Science was written by Sam Husseini, Independent Journalist.
Synopsis: Independent Science News today publishes journalist Sam Husseini’s investigation into the finances of the EcoHealth Alliance. The New York based EcoHealth Alliance is a US non-profit with multiple crucial roles in the current pandemic. First, when the SARS-CoV-2 virus first emerged in Wuhan, the EcoHealth Alliance was financing the Wuhan Institute of Virology to collect and study novel bat coronaviruses. Second, its President, Peter Daszak, has been the media’s primary expert chosen to explain the origins of the pandemic. And third, of the two major international committees now tasked with investigating the origins of the virus (the WHO committee and the EAT Lancet committee), Daszak is a member of the first and the head of the second. In none of Peter Daszak’s media appearances, nor during discussions of EcoHealth Alliance’s role before or during the pandemic, has it been revealed that almost $40 million, representing one third of EcoHealth Alliance’s total budget, is derived from the US Department of Defense. This revelation, plus evidence of other close military ties, adds a significant new dimension to analyses of the EcoHealth Alliance, the underlying purpose of its activities, and, potentially, the origins of the pandemic itself.

Messengers of Gates’ Agenda: How the Cornell Alliance for Science Spreads Disinformation on behalf of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Published on Tuesday December 1st, 2020 by Independent Science News: Messengers of Gates’ Agenda: How the Cornell Alliance for Science Spreads Disinformation on behalf of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was written by Heather Day/AGRAWatch, Director of the Community Alliance for Global Justice.
Synopsis: The Cornell Alliance for Science is an organisation that operates out of Cornell University. As an institution, the Alliance is misnamed, however. It is not an Alliance and it owes its allegiance not to Cornell but to its founder and main funder, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Moreover, as shown in a new report published by the Seattle-based Community Alliance for Global Justice (CAGJ), neither does the Alliance promote ‘science’. Rather, it promotes agribusiness, its associated technologies, and its principal agendas. It does so largely by virtue of extended trainings in public relations, given at Cornell, to its ‘Global Leadership Fellows’. These are individuals recruited from target nations and who then return to their homelands to act as paid mouthpieces for their sponsors.

EcoHealth Alliance Orchestrated Key Scientists’ Statement on “natural origin” of SARS-CoV-2
Synopsis: In February 2020 medical journal The Lancet published a letter with 27 scientific signatories. It turns out that the letter was authored chiefly by the President of the EcoHealth Alliance,
Emails obtained by U.S. Right to Know show that a statement in The Lancet authored by 27 prominent public health scientists condemning “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin” was organized by EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit group that has received millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funding to genetically manipulate coronaviruses. EcoHealth Alliance, the US non-profit which funded the research under suspicion for having leaked the virus in Wuhan, China.

Gates Ag One: The Recolonisation Of Agriculture
The Biosecurity Myth That Is Destroying Small Farming by Lucile Leclair.
Synopsis: Governments are deciding that small farms are not biosecure against infectious diseases. Despite plentiful evidence that small farms are in fact more safe and more biosecure than factory farms, governments are enacting rules and regulations that are near impossible for small farms with animals outdoors to meet, either cost-effectively or at all. The result is destroying rural and traditional ways of life. Read the full article written by Lucile Leclair at: https://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/the-biosecurity-myth/
