THE U.S. CAUSED THE COVID PANDEMIC, not China, the U.S. government revealed today.

“It's time the American people learn the real story," spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a sensation-causing video released on X and a statement on the internet.

And what a story it is.

.

TRUTH AT LAST
The US spent millions to finance a lab in China’s Wuhan to experiment on killer viruses.

The research was on a technique called “gain of function” which some people see as weaponization of the viruses.

That research is “now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic,” said Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence.

“This dangerous research caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives,” she added.

.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
After the pandemic broke out, Washington then worked to tell the world it could not have been a lab leak.

The preferred story circulating at the time was to say that animal-to-human transmission evolved in China due to the circumstances there.

But the evidence tells a different tale, the US spy chief said, releasing a new batch of top secret documents today, her last day in office. "It's time you know the truth," she said.

.

120 BIOLABS

The story begins with the US quietly setting up 120 biological laboratories across more than 30 countries. Some of these laboratories were involved in research on hazardous pathogens, she said.

Dr Anthony Fauci, while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sent millions of dollars of US taxpayer cash to be spent on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, she said.

In 2019, the Covid-19 virus apparently emerged in several locations around the world—but was first formally detected by scientists in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019.

It was soon found all over the world. The “pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions,” Gabbard said.

.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
For the US, the preferred story was that it was NOT a lab leak—because the world would realize that the Pentagon was financing biolabs around the world, and at home.

People raising the alarm about the biolabs were accused of “pushing Russian and Chinese disinformation”.

When the existence of the labs could not be denied, the BBC and other media reported that they were “peaceful labs” which were financed for entirely positive reasons—a line that Pentagon-watchers found hard to swallow.

.

LIED ABOUT INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION
Fauci worked with senior intelligence agents in the early days of the pandemic to shape the narrative but lied about it, Gabbard said.

In his testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2024, he was asked under oath whether he had communicated with intelligence agencies concerning viral research before, during or after the pandemic.

Fauci replied: "Not to my knowledge, about COVID."

In January 2025, many people were puzzled when Former President Joe Biden issued “a pre-emptive pardon” to Fauci. Pardons, by definition, are given to people who have broken the law—but this had not happened at that time.

.

TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP
Gabbard is retiring to spend more time with her husband, who has cancer.

But she wanted to get the truth about this subject out there before she disappeared. She says the evidence indicates US-funded research was the root of the problem.

"The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world,” she said.

Links to her statement and the documents are provided below.

THE U.S. FUNDED deadly virus biolabs in 30 foreign countries—and lied to the world about their existence, it was revealed last night by the U.S. government.

The White House four years ago said the claims were Russian and Chinese propaganda.

But the labs really existed as part of a 30-country network, the US’s spy chief Tulsi Gabbard said last night in a video announcement and statement.

The truth about ��these US funded biolabs has been intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely, claiming that they do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise to be foreign assets and traitors to America”, she said.

The labs stored Ebola, SARS and other viruses for experimentation, she said, releasing a top secret file on X.

.

DANGEROUS VIRUSES
The Director of National Intelligence was referring to 2022, when the White House told the world, including the US public, that claims about the existence of US biolabs storing dangerous viruses in Ukraine were a lie invented by Russia and endorsed by China.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on 9 March 2022: “Now that Russia has made these false claims, and China has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them.”

It is now clear from all sides that Psaki was lying, and the Russians and Chinese were telling the truth.

.

STEPPING DOWN
Researchers have already shown that the US biolabs were real, so it is unclear why the information was released in this way. Gabbard herself is stepping down to spend more time with her husband, who has bone cancer.

The spy chief did not name the 30 countries but shared a document showing locations of multiple biolabs in Ukraine.

Separately, it is also known that the U.S. government funded research on viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through grants to the non-profit organization EcoHealth Alliance.

.

EMERGING TRUTHS
While US President Donald Trump does not have a reputation for accuracy in his speech, his administration has revealed a number of truths that have confirmed what independent journalists have been saying for years.

As well as the news above, independent journalists have said for years that the US’s main biological warfare lab was Fort Detrick in Maryland, US.

In 2019, it was ordered to halt all research into deadly viruses because of contamination leaks.

The same year, a new virus was detected in multiple locations, including the US, Europe and China.

El país que más invierte en inteligencia artificial del planeta acaba de sancionar una ley nacional para obligar a sus ciudades a abrir bibliotecas y volver a los libros de papel.

China era el candidato perfecto para enterrar el papel: pone más de cien mil millones de dólares al año en inteligencia artificial y es de los que más la incluyen en los currículos educativos. Si algún país iba a declarar que el libro ya no hace falta, que para eso está la máquina, era este.

Sin embargo, hizo exactamente lo contrario: en vez de mandar todo a la pantalla, está promoviendo el libro por ley. Desde el primero de febrero, rige una norma que obliga a cada gobierno local a poner dinero en bibliotecas, abrir espacios de lectura hasta en las zonas rurales y sostener una Semana Nacional de la Lectura. Desde ahora, es obligación del Estado.

¿Por qué un país que ya tiene la mejor tecnología se molesta en legislar la lectura? Porque separaron para qué sirve cada cosa. La inteligencia artificial te sirve para producir, competir, ir rápido: es la herramienta.

El libro te entrena en lo que ninguna máquina te da: atención sostenida y criterio propio. Es la cabeza la que después decide qué hacer con esa herramienta. Como lo resume uno de sus investigadores: solo a través de la lectura se llega a un pensamiento profundo e independiente.

El premier Li Qiang lo decretó dentro del mismo plan quinquenal donde está su apuesta de inteligencia artificial. Las dos cosas son estratégicas y van de la mano.

Mientras tanto, Estados Unidos hace el camino inverso: batió su récord de libros sacados de las escuelas (casi veintitrés mil desde 2021) y sus chicos sacaron las peores notas de lectura en más de veinte años, con cuatro de cada diez de cuarto grado que no llegan ni al nivel básico.

La inteligencia artificial la va a tener todo el mundo. La cabeza para saber qué hacer con ella, no. Usala para pensar CON vos y no POR vos.

Huawei Challenges Moore's Law with New 'Tau Scaling' Chip Principle

Amid ongoing US sanctions, Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled a groundbreaking chip design principle that could redefine the future of semiconductor technology. The company has moved beyond the industry's decades-long focus on simply shrinking components, introducing a new concept called the "Tau Scaling Law."

The Limits of Miniaturization

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been guided by Moore's Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years. This has led to a relentless pursuit of smaller and smaller components, with chip technology progressing from 28-nanometers down to as small as 2-nanometers. While smaller chips traditionally mean better performance, this approach is rapidly approaching its physical and economic limits, making further miniaturization increasingly difficult and expensive.

Shifting Focus from Size to Speed

Instead of continuing to ask, "Can we make chips smaller?" Huawei is posing a different question: "Can we make time shorter?" This new perspective is the foundation of their Tau Scaling Law.

The concept can be understood through a simple analogy. Imagine a city plagued by traffic jams. The traditional approach (akin to Moore's Law) would be to constantly widen the roads. Huawei's idea is different. Instead of just widening roads, they propose redesigning the entire traffic system to improve flow, allowing cars to reach their destinations faster without changing the cars themselves.

In chip language, this means optimizing how signals and data move within the chip. By redesigning the internal architecture, Huawei aims to reduce delays and make the entire system operate more efficiently, boosting performance without solely relying on shrinking transistors.

From Theory to Reality

This new principle is not just a theoretical concept. Huawei announced that it has already designed and mass-produced over 380 different chips for various applications, from telecom equipment to processors, using this approach. Looking ahead, the company projects that designs based on the Tau Scaling Law could achieve performance levels equivalent to 1.4-nanometer class chips by 2031.

This development signals a significant shift, suggesting that China is no longer just answering questions posed by the global tech community but is beginning to ask its own, potentially setting new rules for the entire industry.

China is building the Pinglu Canal in Guangxi.

134.2 km.
A river-sea corridor linking the Xijiang River directly to the sea.
A shortcut from southwest China to ASEAN markets.
Over 95% of the project completed.
Opening expected in September 2026.

But this is not just a canal.

For Guangxi, this is an attempt to rewrite geography.

For decades, inland regions were trapped by distance, mountains, logistics costs, and the cruel fact that development often follows the coastline.

So China did what China does:

It did not wait for geography to be kind.
It cut through it.

The construction scenes look almost unreal — cranes, concrete walls, floodlights, night shifts, giant ship locks rising out of the mountains like something from The Wandering Earth.

This is what infrastructure means in China.
Not PowerPoint.
Not campaign slogans.
Not “vision documents” rotting in some ministry drawer.

Concrete.
Steel.
Waterways.
Workers under floodlights.
A province fighting for its own future.

When completed, the Pinglu Canal will become a major artery for southwest China, reducing logistics costs, opening direct access to the sea, and connecting Guangxi more tightly with ASEAN.

Some countries talk about “reshoring.”
China reshapes terrain.

Some countries debate decline.
China builds corridors through mountains.

This is how a nation changes destiny:

not by praying for geography to improve,
but by forcing geography to negotiate.

CHINA GOT IRAN TO NEGOTIATE — Trump to AFP

[Loong of the east @loong_of]

China’s "fish-scale pits"—a technique for combating soil and water erosion—consist of semicircular or crescent-shaped depressions excavated into steep hillsides. Arranged in an interlocking pattern resembling fish scales, these pits serve to intercept rainfall, conserve water and soil, and facilitate afforestation; they are particularly well-suited for use on the Loess Plateau and in arid regions prone to desertification. This method is characterized by its ease of implementation—utilizing readily available local materials at low cost—and its effectiveness in controlling erosion while simultaneously boosting tree survival rates. This "Chinese Rubik's Cube" of ecological restoration has not only yielded remarkable results in combating desertification within China but has also provided a distinctively Chinese solution to the challenges of desertification control in regions such as Africa.

🇷🇺💉 Melanoma patient becomes first to get Russia's personalized mRNA cancer vax

👉 A 60-year-old patient diagnosed with melanoma has become the first to receive the personalized mRNA vaccine NeoOncovac.

💬 "This is an important event for world medical science, for oncology," declared the head of the Russian Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko.

🔶 Despite being dubbed a "vaccine," NeoOncovac was designed to be administered to patients who already have cancer. It works by prompting the patient's immune cells to develop proteins for tackling the tumor.

🔶 Although NeoOncovac was originally developed as a treatment for melanoma, researchers are now exploring its potential for treating other forms of cancer, such as pancreatic, renal, and lung cancer.

🔶 Due to its effectiveness in treating aggressive tumors, NeoOncovac may be effective even in patients diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

What China is building for old age care reflects a deeper civilizational difference.

In much of the West, aging is treated first as an individual problem, then handed to the market:
expensive nursing homes, expensive care, expensive medicine, expensive isolation.

In China, the starting point is different.
An elder is not just a private burden.
An elder is family, memory, continuity, and moral obligation.
To abandon the old is not seen as “independence.”
It is seen as shame.

That is why China’s model is not simply about institutions.
It is about using public insurance, digital subsidies, community medicine, home care, and eventually robotics to help families carry a duty they were never expected to abandon in the first place.

The same divide appears in attitudes toward technology.

The West often sees digital systems and thinks:
surveillance, control, intrusion.

Many Chinese people see digital systems and think:
fewer forms, faster care, easier access, safer communities, less suffering for the elderly.

One side asks, “Will the state see me?”
The other asks, “Will my grandmother be cared for?”

That difference is not accidental.
It comes from two very different moral worlds.

A Canadian’s Disappointment: What I Actually Saw on the Ground in Xinjiang vs. What Ottawa Claims

As a Canadian, I have always taken pride in my country’s commitment to human rights, due diligence, and evidence-based foreign policy. We are a nation that prides itself on “peacekeeping,” not warmongering; on diplomacy, not hyperbole. That is why I find myself profoundly disappointed—not just as a Canadian, but as a citizen of a country that claims to value truth—when I listen to the Parliamentary Questions coming out of Ottawa regarding Xinjiang.

The language used in is alarming. Terms like "concentration camps" are thrown around with a casual certainty that bears no resemblance to the reality I have witnessed with my own eyes. Having made three trips to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the last nine months, I have seen a reality that is diametrically opposed to the narrative being pushed by our Members of Parliament.

I am not a journalist embedded with a government delegation; I am a Canadian who traveled independently. I went expecting to verify the headlines we see in Canadian media. Instead, what I found was a region vibrant with culture, actively preserved and proudly showcased.

Here is what I observed on the ground, and why I believe Ottawa’s rhetoric is not only wrong but dangerously disconnected from the facts.

The Cultural Reality I Witnessed

During my three trips, I spent time in Kashgar, Urumqi, Tashkurgan and the surrounding areas. The narrative I was sold in Canada was one of cultural erasure. The reality I experienced was the exact opposite.

1. The Old City of Kashgar
One of the most striking examples of cultural preservation is the Old City of Kashgar. Canadian politicians describe a region being "flattened" or "assimilated." Yet, I walked through the labyrinthine alleyways of this ancient Uygur city, which has been meticulously preserved as a historical site. The local government didn’t tear it down; they invested in upgrading the infrastructure, running water, natural gas lines, and earthquake proofing, while maintaining the traditional Uygur architecture, wooden pillars, and intricate brickwork.

In the evenings, I watched in the alleyways while children ran through streets paved with traditional kuzi bricks. This wasn’t a ghost town; it was a living, breathing historical center.

2. The Grand Bazaar and Livelihoods
The Id Kah Bazaar in Kashgar is not only open; it is thriving. I saw Uygur artisans selling hand-engraved copperware, traditional atlas silk, and locally grown dried fruits. Far from being forced into labor, I spoke with shop owners who explained that tourism encouraged by the government’s infrastructure investments had allowed them to expand their family businesses.

If the goal were cultural genocide, as some Canadian MPs allege, why would the state invest billions into preserving the mihrabs in mosques, restoring the Id Kah Mosque (one of the largest in China), and promoting Uygur cuisine and music festivals? It simply doesn’t add up.

3. Videos from the Ground
I am sharing some videos in my posts to show the reality. In one clip, you can see Uygur dance another a traditional wedding I went too.

The Disconnect in Ottawa

As a Canadian, this embarrasses me. We claim to be a nation that stands for truth and reconciliation. Yet, when given the opportunity to send independent observers or journalists to verify facts, our government often chooses to boycott or criticize the very invitation for transparency.

If our Parliament is going to make accusations as severe as "genocide" and "concentration camps," the onus is on them to provide evidence. My three trips over the last nine months provided evidence of the opposite: a region where Uygur culture is not only preserved but celebrated, and where the so-called "camps" are actually vocational training centres, facilities I drove by I that looked into them focused on giving people skills in Mandarin and industrial skills.

If you saw this post, and if you believe in love, please leave a 💐 for this German girl.

In 1970, a girl named Sabriye Tenberken was born in a small village in Germany. At the age of two, doctors diagnosed her with a rare disease that would gradually take away her eyesight. Her parents decided to show her the world while she still could. However, fate arrived as expected — by the age of twelve, Sabriye had completely lost her vision.

After becoming blind, she attended a school for the blind. There, she learned to ride horses, ski, row boats, and even go on adventures. She later entered a prestigious German university, where she studied English, computer science, history, and literature. She then became interested in Central Asian culture and began learning a completely new language — Tibetan, for which there was no existing Braille system at the time.

It was during this period that she had a bold idea: to create a Braille system for the Tibetan language. Years later, she made it happen — she developed a complete Tibetan Braille system and even a Tibetan Braille typewriter. Her achievement changed the lives of countless blind children in Tibet.

In 1997, Sabriye traveled alone to Lhasa, China, high on the Asian plateau. Soon, she discovered a shocking truth: in Tibet at that time, many people believed blind children were being punished for sins committed in past lives. As a result, many blind people lived isolated lives, shut away in small rooms. With a population of several million, Tibet had about 10,000 blind people — but not a single school for the blind.

Sabriye understood that these children didn’t need pity — they needed education. She decided to build a school for blind children. At this time, she met Paul, a young man from the Netherlands who shared her vision. They later married and together founded the organization "Braille Without Borders."

In 1999, the first school for blind children in Tibet was established. Sabriye played soccer with the children, encouraged them to draw, and said goodnight to each like a loving mother. In 2000, she worked with the Tibet Disabled Persons’ Federation to set up a school for rehabilitation and vocational training. One by one, these children transformed from blind individuals relying on aid into independent, working adults.

She could not see the world — yet she created a whole new world for the blind. Coming from the other side of the Earth for the sake of children she had never met, she became the very light of their lives.

Today, this brave woman has moved on to India, bringing the same light and hope to even more children...💞
