I was listening to the Bryan Dean Wright podcast this past week, and found an excellent news story that I thought everyone should know about. I think we all have concerns at this point about whether people in government can be trusted to do anything except help Democrats and punish Republicans. This story makes it clear that the CIA is one of those departments lacking integrity.

New York Post:

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.

The most senior analyst was the one most willing to cover up for the Chinese:

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

How were the CIA analysts paid? “a significant monetary incentive”:

“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, noting that the analysts were “experienced officers with significant scientific expertise.”

Always remember that people in government are being paid by the money they grab from taxpayers. They ought to be serving the taxpayers who pay their salaries. But often, these are people who are on the secular left. They think the universe is an accident, that human beings are machines made out of meat, and that there is no accountability from a Moral Lawgiver. What sort of integrity would you expect from a secular leftist? They do what is best for themselves.
