The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) has also funded several studies conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including research focused on bat coronaviruses alongside U.S.-based research groups such as the Anthony Fauci-funded EcoHealth Alliance. …Despite the military ties, Collins entered the government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) into a joint agreement with the NSFC to facilitate “cooperation in medical research” in 2010.
…The following year, a 16-person delegation from the NIH – headed by Hugh Auchincloss, the Deputy Director of Anthony Fauci’s NIAID – visited Beijing to meet with their Chinese Communist Party counterparts to solidify “carry[ing] out the funding of joint research programs.”

Critical Race Theory May Violate Civil Rights Act, the Constitution: Dr. Carol Swain: Epoch Times
…Dr. Carol Swain, a former professor of political science and law at Princeton and Vanderbilt universities. …The main tenet of Critical Race Theory (CRT) is that the people of the world are divided into oppressors and oppressed, and in the United States, “all white people are considered oppressors who benefit from undeserved advantages,” Swain told The Epoch Times in an interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program. A lot of white people who are forced into CRT-based training, and forced to confess to being racist because of their race, do not realize that they are protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, and disability, explained the retired professor. …White people are protected in the same way that black people are by civil rights laws, she said. “We’re not a country where it’s acceptable to bully and shame people because of the color of their skin.”
Congresswoman Nancy Mace: ‘Inflation Is Taxation’- Epoch Times
Freshman Rep. Nancy Mace (R-N.C.) said Monday that although President Joe Biden and the Democrats have said they will not raise taxes on low- and middle-income earners, out-of-control spending by the federal government is causing inflation and is a form of taxation. …Some Fed officials are not fully convinced that inflation is temporary. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Monday that the economy is in unprecedented territory, making it hard to know where inflation will go next… …“When I go to the grocery store today, I’m shopping on the exterior aisle—meat, fruit, and vegetables—because the cost of groceries has gone up 21 percent. The cost of lumber to build a house, up 381 percent, which means to build a house today, over last year, is 30 percent more expensive today than it was a year ago. And after Colonial Pipeline, we all saw gas prices go up. My gas prices have stayed up. They haven’t gone back down,” said Mace.
Black theologian sounds warning, savages ‘demonic’ ideologies behind CRT, BLM, antiracism
Before becoming a Christian, he’d been attracted to the teachings of Malcolm X, who “denounced Christianity as a religion designed for slaves,” according to Brown. The theologian explained that such a worldview was incompatible with Christianity. But it was the exposure to those ideas gave him keen insight into “the nature of CRT and other ideologies that seek to politically weaponize race and undermine faith,” as Brown noted. …But he sees a darker side to these movements. Regarding Black Lives Matter, he writes in his book, “The organization is Marxist, revolutionary, feminist, misandrous, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-abortion, and anti-family, with roots in the occult. It is unacceptable for Christians to partner with, celebrate, identify with or promote this organization.”
New Study Links Ivermectin to ‘Large Reductions’ in COVID-19 Deaths: Epoch Times
The use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin could lead to “large reductions” in COVID-19 deaths and may have a “significant impact” on the pandemic globally, according to a recent pre-print review based on peer-reviewed studies. …researchers concluded with a moderate level of confidence that the drug reduced the risk of death in COVID-19 patients by an average of 62 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval of 0.19–0.79, in a sample of 2,438 patients.
Defund the Universities: Epoch Times
I’m not merely suggesting that states defund their public universities. I’m recommending that all funding for universities, both private and public, be withdrawn. Even private colleges benefit from, and depend on, a whole array of government subsidies from grants and loans to students, research money, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and other military provisions, and so on. It’s time to end all of it. …Funding our universities today is like giving money to our foreign enemies. Just as our foreign enemies work assiduously to destroy our society and our culture, so too, the universities are doing the same, but domestically, internally. They’re the enemy within. And the tragedy is that we have been giving them money to do it. Thus, we, no less than they, are to blame for the harm they’re doing. Their future is in our hands, and by cutting them off, we save ourselves and our children.
US Reliance on Russian Oil Surges to Record High Amid Tensions: Epoch Times
“Last month we saw a record 5.75 million barrels of Russian crude discharged in the US, and we’re projecting a further record this month of 7.5mn bbls,” ClipperData analysts wrote on Twitter on June 7. Critics argue that Biden’s climate agenda is hard on the U.S. oil industry but soft on foreign producers. “It’s disturbing to our industry that the Biden administration goes out of its way to disadvantage the American producer while buttressing the Iranian and Russian industries,” Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, told The Epoch Times.

Joe Biden as leader of western democracies is an ‘insult to the free world’: Alan Jones, Sky News
In the following 3 minute video, Alan Jones comments on Biden’s image; green vs coal power; and the G7 conference which is enabling China. Furthermore, at G7, they proposed to stop funding coal-fired power; Jones noted that such legislation will put the western world at a disadvantage and give an edge to China and many other nations who will continue to use coal power and pollute the world….
