PART 1: The Crime and the Cover-Up — Why This May Be a War Crime

Let us begin with what should have been obvious from the start: this was not just a public health crisis—it may have been a deliberate attack, or at the very least, a catastrophic man-made event that should be prosecuted as a war crime.

We know the common cold is an RNA virus, and after more than 100 years of study, we have never produced a reliable vaccine for it. Why? Because RNA viruses mutate rapidly, and there is no single target to pin down. Every winter season is a new game. The same goes for influenza—another RNA virus. It changes constantly, and even our best flu vaccines are educated guesses.

So how is it that, out of nowhere, a novel lab-modified RNA virus is introduced to the world, and within months, pharmaceutical companies—working hand-in-hand with government agencies—claim to have the magic shot? That alone should raise red flags. It is like being told that after a century of chasing a ghost, we suddenly caught it in a butterfly net.

And let us not forget—this was not a traditional vaccine. It did not use weakened virus particles. It did not build lasting immunity. It was a genetic modifier, delivering mRNA instructions to your cells to produce a foreign protein. In short: it turned your body into a temporary spike protein factory. And when the definition of "vaccine" did not fit, the CDC quietly changed it—with no hearings, no congressional debate, no scientific consensus—just a website update.

Now tie that to where it all began: the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was doing gain-of-function research. This means they were taking animal viruses and altering them to infect humans more easily. That is not theoretical—it is in published papers and grant applications. And the money? It came from the U.S. government, routed through agencies like NIH and NIAID, led by people like Dr. Fauci, who later denied it all under oath.

If this virus was intentionally released, or even accidentally released but intentionally covered up, that is the legal definition of a biological weapon. Under the Geneva Conventions, that is a war crime. If a government—China in this case—created and let loose a lab-enhanced virus that killed millions globally, the international community has a duty to respond.

But here is the failure: no one is responding. No international tribunal. No U.S. prosecution. No investigation worthy of the name. And that silence is deafening.

If justice means anything, this demands prosecution at the highest level—not just of foreign actors, but of anyone domestically who knew, enabled, or profited from this tragedy. Because failure to act on a crime of this scale is not neutrality—it is complicity.

PART 2: Lockdowns, Herd Immunity, and the Natural Laws of Viral Mutation

Let us now talk about the science that was ignored—or deliberately buried.

Viruses, whether RNA or DNA-based, follow a basic evolutionary rule: they need a host to survive, but if they kill the host too quickly, they destroy their own future. So they evolve. They mutate. And over time, they become less deadly and more transmissible—because that is how they spread and persist.

That is why natural immunity matters. When a virus passes through a population, especially a healthy one, it typically becomes weaker. This is not fantasy—it is basic virology. But instead of trusting the biology of nature and humanity's proven immune system, we were locked down, masked up, isolated, and told to wait for a "vaccine" that was not a vaccine.

By shutting down normal contact, we actually interrupted the natural weakening of the virus. Instead of letting it spread through the low-risk population and build community-level immunity, we created pressure for mutations to arise in isolated pockets. We did not flatten the curve—we stretched it. We fed it.

The result? Variants. Delta, Omicron, and others. Not because people refused to wear two masks, but because we refused to let the virus burn itself out naturally. In our arrogance, we tried to outsmart a law of biology—and failed. Lockdowns protected the virus, not the people.

Meanwhile, we punished those who exercised common sense. We silenced doctors who spoke of herd immunity and early treatment. We censored discussion of vitamin D, zinc, or lifestyle resilience. Instead, we flooded the airwaves with corporate slogans and political threats.

And then came the second insult—long COVID. People who had mild infections were now suffering long-term symptoms. But here is what they are not telling you: many long COVID cases mirror the immune reactions seen in those who took the mRNA shots. Autoimmune responses. Cardiovascular inflammation. Neurological issues. Could it be that long COVID is not just from the virus—but from the so-called "cure"?

Science demands that we ask that question. Politics demands that we do not.

PART 3: The National Reckoning — Why the American People Deserve the Full Truth

This leads us to the most important point: we deserve answers. Not someday—now. Not whitewashed reports from captured agencies, but a full accounting, in public, under oath.

Because this is not just about viruses. It is about trust.

The Kennedy assassination still leaves unanswered questions. The missing moon landing tapes—gone, just like that. The Epstein client list—still sealed. And now this: the greatest global disruption since World War II, and no one is held accountable. Instead, we are told to move on. Trust the science. Trust the process.

But the process was broken. And the science was hijacked.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. And this entire pandemic—from lab leaks to lockdowns to vaccines that were not vaccines—reeks of institutional rot. This was not just a failure of medicine. It was a collapse of ethics, of accountability, and of the sacred duty that governments have to their people.

The American taxpayer funded the research. The American public suffered the consequences. And now the American people deserve the truth.

We need names. We need timelines. We need to know who lied, who covered, and who profited. Because if we do not get answers now, it will happen again. And next time, it may be worse.

Truth is not a luxury. It is the foundation of a free society.

And if this government, or any government, refuses to tell the truth about what happened—then it has forfeited the right to lead.

PART 4: A Call to Action — Think About It, Share It, and Never Forget What They Did

If you have made it this far, I thank you. That means you are listening. You are reading. You are thinking. And that right there is the beginning of change.

This is not a rant. It is not a theory. It is a record—a methodical breakdown of what happened, how it happened, and why silence is no longer an option.

I ask you to share this episode. Send it to your family. Your friends. Neighbors. Coworkers. Especially the ones who turned away. The ones who dismissed the warning signs. The ones who said, "Just get the shot," without ever stopping to question what was being injected into their arm—and why.

I lost clients over this. Real clients. I lost long-time acquaintances. And yes—I lost a few people I once called friends. They drank the Kool-Aid. They latched onto the slogans of the state, the spin of the media, and the noise of peer pressure. They never stopped to say, "Wait a minute... does any of this actually make sense?"

That is why, for over five decades, I have used one phrase over and...
