'People are Going to be Shocked'.

Bannon claims

Wuhan Lab Employees have Defected.

Are working with the FBI.
 

 

 

One day after a report that a respected Chinese virologist fled Hong Kong to accuse Beijing of a COVID cover-up, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon told the Daily Mail that,

scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other labs have defected to the West and are "turning over evidence" against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for their role in the COVID-19 pandemic,

...which has claimed over 560,000 lives worldwide since last December.

"People are going to be shocked," Bannon told the Mail ("from a yacht off the East coast of America," the Mail would like us to know).

The 66-year-old then said that defectors are cooperating with intelligence agencies in,

  • America

  • Europe

  • the UK,

...which have been assembling evidence to challenge the CCP claim that the pandemic originated in a wet market - not in a lab home to scientists who have come under fire for manipulating bat coronavirus to be more transmissible to humans.

 

 

 

"I think that they [spy agencies] have electronic intelligence, and that they have done a full inventory of who has provided access to that lab.

 

I think they have very compelling evidence. And there have also been defectors," he said.

 

"People around these labs have been leaving China and Hong Kong since mid-February. [US intelligence] along with MI5 and MI6 are trying to build a very thorough legal case, which may take a long time.

 

It's not like James Bond."

Mr Bannon even suggested that the French government, which helped to build the institute, had left behind monitoring systems after Beijing shut them out of the project before it opened in 2017. (Daily Mail)

"The thing was built with French help, so don't think that there aren't some monitoring devices in there.

 

I think what you are going to find out is that these guys were doing experiments which they weren't fully authorized [for] or knew what they were doing and that somehow, either through an inadvertent mistake, or on a lab technician, one of these things got out," Bannon continued.

 

"It's not that hard for these viruses to get out. That is why these labs are so dangerous."

 

"You essentially had a biological Chernobyl in Wuhan, but the center of gravity, the Ground Zero, was around the Wuhan lab, in terms of the casualty rates.

 

And like Chernobyl, you also had the cover-up - the state apparatus reports to itself and just protects itself."

Mr Bannon, who has close links to Guo Wengui, an exiled Chinese billionaire, told this newspaper:

'Regardless of whether it came out of the market or the Wuhan lab, the Chinese Communist party's subsequent decisions hold them guilty of pre-meditated murder.

 

'We know this because Taiwan formally informed the WHO on December 31 that there was some sort of epidemic coming out of Hubei province [where Wuhan is].

 

The CDC in Beijing was informed on January 2 or 3, and they decided to withhold that information and then sign a trade deal [with the US on January 15].

 

'If they had been straightforward and truthful in the last week of December, 95 per cent of the lives lost and the economic carnage would have been contained.'

Bannon continues:

"That is the tragedy here.

 

They used the time to scoop up all the world's personal protective equipment. This is a murderous dictatorship.

 

The blood is [also] on the hands of the world's corporations - the investment banks, the hedge funds and the pension funds - and it is time to start calling it out before it leads to the destruction of the West," Bannon elaborated.

 

"We are in the most extraordinary crisis in modern American history, more than Vietnam, the Cold War, even the Second World War.

A global pandemic and an economic inferno...

I have no faith in the WHO, the leadership should face criminal charges and be shut down."

One has to wonder if China will respond with whistleblowers from Ft. Detrick to support their narrative...?
