The CIA has reportedly said that it now favors the lab leak theory as the most likely explanation for the origins of COVID-19.
The agency’s analysis, based on evidence it has had for months, comes in response to a look into the conditions at high-security laboratories in Wuhan, China, prior to the pandemic, according to the New York Times.
The outlet reported that sources familiar with the agency’s work have said that this closer scrutiny of Wuhan labs has been a key focus in the agency’s assessment. A CIA spokesperson emphasized that while the lab leak theory currently has more support among analysts, other theories remain plausible, and the agency continues to evaluate all credible intelligence related to the pandemic’s origins.
In the remaining days of the Biden administration, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan ordered a classified review of the origin of COVID-19. Part of the review included former CIA director William J. Burns telling analysts that they need to take a position on how the virus originated.
Newly appointed CIA director John Ratcliffe has long supported the lab leak theory. On Thursday, he told Breitbart that he wanted the agency to no longer be “on the sidelines” regarding the pandemic origin debate. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
