‘Let Everybody Read It’: Senate Votes to Declassify U.S. Intelligence on COVID Origins
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), co-sponsor of a bill that would require the Biden administration to declassify all intelligence and documentation related to the origins of COVID-19, said “it’s past time” to show the American people what the government has.
The U.S. Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a bill that would require the Biden administration to declassify all intelligence and documentation related to the origins of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023 was introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.). It passed via unanimous consent, as proposed by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).
Congress uses unanimous consent to quickly decide issues without taking a vote.
The bill will now go to the House of Representatives, where the Republican majority has indicated they will pass the bill.
House Democrats oppose the bill, arguing the executive branch, and not the legislative branch, should make decisions concerning the declassification of intelligence documents.
This bill previously passed the Senate in May 2021, according to Politico. At the time, the House never acted on it.
Declassifying COVID Origin Reports Would Open ‘Pandora’s Box’
Congresswoman Kat Cammack says it best: declassifying this intel would require action on the current administration regarding China, funding sources for NIH, CDC, WHO, FDA, and collusion between the admin and social media companies who censored dissenters and so much more.

Leaked UK Government Messages Reveal Plans for Lockdowns
Including Destroying All Pets
British politicians are in damage control after leaked WhatsApp messages from a British politician gives us insight to how the government made lockdown and school closure policies: based on personal sentiment and politics. The damning texts prompted one official to say that they once considered killing all pets but didn’t do that so we can all just calm down about the measures they did put in place.
The messages come from Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care from 2018 to 2021 who resigned after breaking lockdowns to have an affair with an aide. Just three months later he was given a prestigious UN job advising African nations on how to bounce back after the pandemic.
Hancock handed his messages over to British political journalist Isabel Oakeshott to help her ghostwrite his book, “Pandemic Diaries,” but in breach of a non-disclosure agreement, Oakeshott leaked all of the WhatsApp messages to The Telegraph.
While some messages are simply derogatory banter, others show Hancock:
- ignored scientific advice
- spoke of plans to “deploy the new variant”
- spoke of plans to frighten the public
- sought favorable coverage from past political colleagues who worked in media
- gave police officers their “marching orders” to enforce lockdown measures, while claiming in public that the police were operationally independent of the government
- Derbyshire Police were admonished for using “sinister” drones to monitor ramblers in the Peak District
- then they dyed a blue lagoon black “to make the water look less appealing”
- police forces were repeatedly criticised for being over-zealous
- Neil Basu, then the Met Police assistant commissioner, warned in this newspaper “how we police this pandemic will be remembered for many years to come.”
- police in England and Wales processed a total of 118,000 fines under Covid rules up to February 2022.

“It has, in fact, taken a team of eight investigative journalists, the best part of two months, to sift through all this stuff.
It seemed to me that there was really no other option but to put it out there.
Can you imagine any journalist worth the name journalist that sat on material like that. “Even though I knew that I risked being sued and that I would, of course, be accused of a breach of trust.” ~ Isabel Oakeshott

Why Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp messages were revealed by The Telegraph | The Lockdown Files
Associate Editor, Camilla Tominey, reveals how The Telegraph came to the decision to publish Matt Hancock’s WhattsApp messages as part of The Lockdown Files.
‘In the interest of openness, transparency and accountability, the public has a right to know what went on behind the scenes‘.
The Telegraph has been handed more than 100,000 messages linked to Mr Hancock’s time as health secretary at the height of the pandemic. Some of texts show Matt Hancock rejecting the Chief Medical Officer’s advice to test for Covid all residents going into English care homes, Prof Sir Chris Whitty told the then health secretary early in April 2020, about a month into the pandemic, that there should be testing for “all going into care homes.” But Mr Hancock did not follow that guidance, telling his advisers that it “muddies the waters.” Instead, he introduced guidance that made testing mandatory for those entering care homes from hospital, but not for those coming from the community. Prior to the guidance, care homes had been told that negative tests were not required even for hospital patients. The guidance stating that those coming in from the community should be tested was eventually introduced on Aug 14.
