Big Pharma lobbying is my #1.

This seems to be a popular one... seems like it deserves a deep dive!

Defense Threat Reduction Agency spending in Wuhan and Ukraine. Everyone points to NIH funding of Wuhan lab, but DTRA was in there first. There are also associated with numerous Ukraine biolabs.

What documents did nypost get this from and why did no one else ever follow up especially now that DTRA projects in Ukraine are under scrutiny due to Russian allegations of bioweapons research?

Very early on in the invasion, when the Russian accusations had barely been made there was a preemptive foray into debunking bioweapons by the current CTRA head Pope.

That is highly suspicious that he was so eager to get out ahead of this story. The article itself is basically "deny, deny, counter accuse, deny" which doesn't exactly strike me as a policy that screams trustworthy.

Hunter Biden invested in Metabiota, which was subcontracting to a major gov contract firm Black and Veatch to do work in Ukraine biolabs for DTRA. A Metabiota employee was in an email chain with Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance in which he urged keeping certain viral sequences out of a database Genbank.

I am just an amateur internet sleuth and it would be great to see a professional journalist address this issue that sits at the nexus of nepotism, corrupt contracting, bioweapons research, and the origin of sars-cov-2.

Hi Rebecca, I am super curious about the organization https://www.betterhelp.com/ - an online counseling service. They are advertising on or hosting so many podcasts...it seems like a great way to collect data about people with mental/emotional issues. Thank you for all you do.

Yeah, this is an interesting one. There's a few mental health platforms like this that have launched in the last 5-7 years and became aggressively advertised during the pandemic... upon first glance at their privacy policies I saw some super vague language about them selling data to corporations (but which information and to which companies?) Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds crazy but trust me there’s a treasure trove waiting to be uncovered here… investigate the field of virology. Report how they claim to identify a virus. How they use no controls in their experiments. Watch House of Numbers. Look at all early claims of virus isolation. Look at the original Enders paper. Explore Koch’s postulates and Rivers’ postulates. Look at the Spanish flu experiments with prisoners on Deer Island and how none got sick. Read Kary Mullis. See how Luc Montagnier changed his tune after discovering AIDS. Nutty I know. And risky piece to write. Trust me and just look into it.

I also love pharma lobby/revolving door. Would love a comprehensive piece on these two topics (combined perhaps?)

Keep up the great work!!

Just finished books (The Inheritence, by Fulton and January 6) that describe how federal prison system uses extreme, corrupt and very unlawful measures against imprisoned, non-charged citizens to fascilitate their political means. Not on anybody's radar yet but should this woke agenda move along it may come to your front door, guns drawn.

The spraying of our skies. The spraying that most of us can see and know is happening but that we are supposed to pretend is not happening and never speak about.

Ahh yes, this one's a classic. So much conflicting info out there about it which is highly suspect. Will have to look into this at some point, thanks!

How about a deep dive into captured agencies...seems to be a very significant issue in many regards.

Also, a shorter subject, but the talk in the FDA regarding regulating certain OTC supplements. One in particular that has been discussed during the pandemic was N-acetyl cysteine.

Good call, this is a big one. Not familiar with that particular supplement, so I'll look into it... thanks, Rick!
