MORENS GUILTY

We speculated that Moren would enter a plea bargain and turn state’s evidence on his co-conspirators. The fact that co-conspirators were numbered in his case bodes well for follow-up prosecutions.

James Lyons-Weiler, PhD

Aug 19, 2026

David M. Morens, a former senior adviser in the Office of the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pleaded guilty on August 18, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to Count One: conspiracy to commit offenses against and to defraud the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. The signed plea agreement is unusually informative: it says the conspiracy contemplated violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 (destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in a federal matter), 18 U.S.C. § 2071(a) (concealment, removal, mutilation, or destruction of federal records), and 18 U.S.C. § 201(c) (illegal gratuities). Morens admitted guilt to the § 371 conspiracy; the government agreed that the remaining open counts would be dismissed at sentencing. [1]

According to DOJ, after NIH terminated the grant Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence, Morens and others anticipated Freedom of Information Act requests and agreed in writing to shift communications concerning the grant, NIH funding, and COVID-19 origins to Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH account. DOJ says those communications included nonpublic NIH information, edits to letters intended for NIH leadership, efforts to restore funding to the grant recipient, and information “back-channeled” to a senior NIAID official. Morens also admitted that the conspiracy involved illegal gratuities: a co-conspirator sent him wine after his “behind-the-scenes shenanigans,” and further high-end meals were discussed. [2]

The criminal case establishes intentional misconduct concerning federal records, government processes, and gratuities—not the origin of the virus. Prosecutors have not accused Anthony Fauci of wrongdoing in Morens’s case. [3]

The connection to the underlying grant is nevertheless real rather than speculative. HHS records identify NIAID award R01AI110964, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” as an EcoHealth Alliance award beginning June 1, 2014; the original FY2014 award action was $666,442. DOJ expressly says the grant recipient made a subaward to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Public records and major-news reporting make EcoHealth Alliance and its then-president Peter Daszak the overwhelmingly likely identities of “Company 1” and “Co-Conspirator 1,” although DOJ deliberately leaves them unnamed in the plea documents. The Washington Post reports that previously released records likewise point to Boston University scientist Gerald Keusch as “Co-Conspirator 2.” Neither Daszak nor Keusch was reported charged in this case as of August 19. [4]

On sentencing, there is an important correction to some commentary: there is no publicly agreed or recommended prison term in the plea agreement. The statutory range is zero to five years’ imprisonment, up to three years of supervised release, a maximum $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment. The parties stipulated to guideline calculations that, after the anticipated three-level acceptance-of-responsibility reduction, produce offense level 15, with Morens permitted to argue for another two-level reduction under the “zero-point offender” provision. If that reduction applies, the level would be 13. Both sides expressly reserved the right to advocate for a reasonable sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Sentencing is scheduled for November 12, 2026, before U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis. [5]

Morens’s plea materially strengthens the proposition that an NIAID senior adviser intentionally circumvented federal recordkeeping and public-access mechanisms while helping people with a direct interest in the controversial coronavirus grant. As presented, the case does not strengthen the virological evidence that the pandemic began in a laboratory nearly as much as it strengthens the evidence of a transparency and government-integrity failure.

**Comment**

The ‘must read’ article includes a timeline of actions of David Morens and EcoHealth and so much more.

Weiler states that prosecutors did not accuse Fauci of wrongdoing in Morens’s case. My guess is they will make Morens the ‘fall guy’ and Fauci will continue to walk free. It’s also important to note that many other people were involved in this monolithic crime that remain unnamed and free.

Kennedy and Quaid do not discuss treatments for Lyme. The title below is misleading. What they do discuss is that HHS is supposedly throwing a lot of money at research which up until now has done ZERO to help sick patients. I don’t expect this latest PR stunt to do much either. I pray I’m wrong. Go here for the reasons why.

Actor Dennis Quaid joins Secretary Kennedy to discuss treatments for Lyme disease


by CHARLOTTE HAZARD | The National News Desk Mon, August 17, 2026

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actor Dennis Quaid teamed up Monday to make an announcement about furthering research about Lyme disease.

“At HHS, we are taking bold new actions against Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-borne diseases—accelerating research, improving care, and driving new treatments,” Kennedy wrote on the social media platform, X. “Millions of Americans need faster diagnoses, better care, and real answers.”

In a video attached to the post, Quaid said that his friend, the late Kris Kristofferson spent years living with Alzheimer’s.

“But Alzheimer’s wasn’t the problem,” Quaid said. “He actually had Lyme disease and when the doctors finally diagnosed him correctly in 2016 and started the right treatment, his symptoms did improve.”

Kennedy said that HHS is investing millions of dollars in innovation to develop AI-powered tools to help improve patient care. (See link for article and videos)

This would be a tad more believable if it didn’t include a Hollywood actor, but here we are.

I don’t trust AI powered tools as far as I can throw them. Throwing millions of dollars into research won’t do a thing either as long as that research continues to skirt truth of persistent/relapsing infection, pleomorphism (shape shifting organism), and polymicrobialism (the involvement of other organisms).

The physician locator on the HHS website takes you directly to the ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Syndrome) website. Further, when I typed in Wisconsin, a bunch of doctors popped up I do not know at all, which is not a good sign. They might have taken a ‘fundamentals’ course but that does not make them experienced in treating this beast.

Further, this is a pretty tough thing to treat via telemedicine, which many of the doctors on the list offer.

The 11-Minute Pandemic Era Time Capsule They Tried to Bury

Why eleven minutes of on-the-record pandemic rhetoric hit #1 on X — and why I paid the price for keeping the copy

Sayer Ji

Aug 18, 2026

A video time capsule of pandemic-era rhetoric is the top news story on X right now. Here is what it documents — and the one entry still missing from the record.

As I write this, an eleven-minute video I posted (compiled by Matt Orrfalea) I is the top trending news story on X: https://x.com/i/trending/2089514747016434085?s=20

There is no narration. No music. No editing tricks. Just public officials, public health authorities, and the media voices who amplified them — on camera, on the record, between 2020 and 2022 — describing the fellow citizens they were supposed to serve.

When I reposted it this morning, I attached a challenge:

Every one of the dozens of public officials who blamed the failures of the mRNA shots on those who were prudent enough not to participate in a mass medical experiment owes the public an apology. They demanded punishment, exclusion, restrictions, and social consequences for people who said no. The 11-minute compilation below preserves their words for the historical record. Of the dozens featured here, has even one publicly apologized? If so, I genuinely want to know who.

The comments have been pouring in ever since. Nobody has produced a name.

What the tape actually shows

Watch it start to finish and you’ll notice it unfolds in three acts.

Act one: the mantra. “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” Heads of state, health ministers, anchors — dozens of them, repeating the same seven words until the sentence stopped being a claim and became a permission slip. If no one is safe until everyone complies, then the person who declines is no longer making a private medical decision. He is the reason you are not safe.

Act two: the sorting. Once the premise was installed, the language followed. “If you are the unvaccinated, you are the problem.” “Condemn them, shame them, blame them.” “They should not be part of polite society.” “You are an enemy.” A sitting American governor told a church congregation that the unvaccinated “aren’t listening to God.” A celebrated attorney announced on television that “you have no right not to be vaccinated.” An Oscar-winning actor compared declining the shot to “pointing a gun in somebody’s face.” A late-night host mused about who should get the ICU bed — “unvaccinated guy? Rest in peace, Wheezy.” And then the insults hardened into demands: fire them, ban them from restaurants and colleges, keep them out of hospitals, keep them from “breathing the same air.” Not fringe voices. Prime time. Podiums. Press rooms.

Act three: the promise. Every one of those demands rested on a single factual claim, delivered with absolute confidence. “The virus stops with every vaccinated person.” “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” And from the director of the CDC herself, on March 29, 2021: vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, don’t get sick” — a statement the CDC walked back within days and that she later conceded was “no longer correct”. It didn’t matter. Fortune ran the headline “It’s official: Vaccinated people don’t transmit COVID-19” — then appended a correction note two days later. The tape closes act three by simply reading the news that followed: Biden tests positive. Fauci tests positive. CDC director tests positive. Pfizer’s CEO tests positive — again.

The switch nobody acknowledges

Here is the response you will hear, so let’s deal with it now: “The shots still reduced hospitalization and death.”

Fine. Notice what that argument concedes. Protection against severe disease is a personal benefit — and nobody in this video was threatening to fire people to protect those people themselves. The mandates, the passports, the two-tier society, the “you’re not welcome” — all of it was justified on one ground and one ground only: that the unvaccinated were uniquely spreading the virus and the vaccinated were not. That is the claim the officials in this video made, in those words, on the record. And that is the claim that collapsed — publicly, undeniably, on their own timelines.

When the factual premise for punishing millions of people fails, the people who demanded the punishment inherit a debt. It is a small one, as debts go. It is one sentence long: “I was wrong to say that about you. I’m sorry.” (See link for article and videos)

**Comment**

Really worth your time to read and digest.

I would only disagree on one point: the clot shots did not reduce hospitalization and death and remains unproven for the following reasons:

  • they have never, to this day, created a successful “vaccine”  for an upper respiratory disease
  • a “vaccine” isn’t needed for an illness which has a 99.991% recovery rate by doing nothing
  • the entire house of cards is based upon flawed testing making everything COVID when it could simply be the flu
  • this article points out that these injections lack a viable mechanism of action against COVID in the airways and that antibodies cannot prevent injection due to the fact COVID invades through the respiratory tract and that none of the “vaccine” trials gave any evidence that they prevent transmission.  Urging people to get these fast-tracked gene therapy injections to “protect others” has NO basis in fact
  • Despite forcing countries to put up sovereign assets including their bank reserves, military bases, and embassy buildings as collateral, these “vaccine” manufacturers ADMIT efficacy and risks are UNKNOWN
  • when absolute risk is taken into account, these injections are less than 1% effective
  • COVID “vaccine” manufacturers have unblinded their trials  giving control groups the actual “vaccine,” making long-term efficacy and safety impossible to assess
  • Every clinical study and non-peer reviewed press release regarding efficacy needs to be revisited due to the sleight-of-statistical hand and the faulty PCR used in these studies.  Please remember that the CDC did not consider people “vaccinated” until up to five weeks after the initial dose – demonstrating brazen statistical manipulation to bury perception of adverse events and deaths
  • CDC data has shown that mass “vaccination” has had NO measurable impact on COVID mortality.
  • Thanks to a federal court order, the FDA has confirmed graphene is in the COVID shotsSpanish researchers have found that graphene makes up more than 99% of the injection
  • German researchers have found each and every vial to be contaminated with toxic ingredients
  • The COVID gene therapy injections have caused more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS

A massive crime was perpetrated upon the American public and crickets….. Never forget this: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2022/09/21/if-public-health-cared-about-public-health-research-ethics-vaccinologist-paul-offit-wont-be-getting-any-more-covid-shots/

Americans Know They’ve Been Lied to about CV19 Vax – Tom Haviland

“Embalmers are still seeing these white fibrous clots in 18% to 20% of their corpses currently in 2026.”

Lioness of Judah Ministry

Aug 18, 2026


By Greg Hunter August 4, 2026

Since 2022, retired Airforce Major Tom Haviland has been asking what mortuary workers are finding in the bodies they are preparing for burial. Haviland’s last survey called the “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey” found “It’s not dying down. That is the very scary part of this. Embalmers are still seeing these white fibrous clots in 18% to 20% of their corpses currently in 2026.”

You can thank Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for letting everyone know almost everything he said about CV19 and the CV19 bioweapon vax was a huge lie. All it took was him to plead the 5th Amendment more than 100 times at a recent Senate hearing on Covid19.

Dr. Fauci was supposed to be the leading expert on everything Covid as the top White House Advisor. Fauci pleading the 5th raised an illuminating big red flag for the public and, according to Haviland, “I think Americans realize now they have been lied to.

There are plenty of times on video where Anthony Fauci said if you take the CV19 shots, you can’t catch Covid or transmit it to others. That’s a lie. He said if you took the CV19 shot, it would not pass from the mother’s breast milk into the child. That was a lie. They said the shot would only last for two days, and the mRNA would leave your body. That’s a lie. It’s been found that the mRNA would produce spike proteins years after the last injection. It is just a total debacle of these mRNA shots with this lipid nanoparticle technology. Americans are starting to figure this out.”

The actual science shows there are plenty of other problems caused by the CV19 covid injections. Just a few from a very long list include: heart disease. cancer, autoimmune disease and, of course, all sorts of blood clots.

Don’t expect any truth or clarity coming from big medicine or the Lying Legacy Media. They have done nothing to draw attention to the huge negative downside to the CV19 injections.

Meanwhile, Haviland and others just got their work published in the prestigious International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science. The work Haviland did is now peer reviewed and legit, and, yet, it is ignored.

Haviland says, “It’s not just gaslighting. It is also censorship. Even though I got this paper published, I can’t begin to get on mainstream media. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and CNN, none of them will have me on to talk about this very visible side effect from the Covid vaccines. They don’t seem to have any interest whatsoever. That is very unusual because I am sure they know somebody that has been killed or injured by the Covid vaccines.”

Haviland goes on to say, “It’s not just the FDA and CDC that have fallen down on the job. What about Johns Hopkins? What about the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, Stanford and MIT? All of these organizations and university labs around the world, they could have gotten samples of the white fibrous clots like me and the doctors I work with and examined the clots and done a whole series of tests on them…

They could have done that and been years ahead of the game if they would have done this five years ago, but they turned a blind eye to it. They have done a disservice to the public because we are no further along except for a few people doing this work showing this problem and showing us ways to mitigate it.”

There is much more in the 49-minute interview.

Join Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog as he goes one-on-one with Tom Haviland to do a deep dive on why there is still a gigantic and growing clot coverup caused by the CV19 vax for 8.4.26.

The Jimmy Dore Show

Aug. 11, 2026

This segment focuses on a legal challenge to California’s COVID-19 misinformation law, arguing that doctors should retain First Amendment protections when discussing medical information and treatment options with patients. Attorney Richard Jaffe tells Jimmy that after earlier rulings treated doctor-patient advice as regulable “conduct,” a later Supreme Court decision on protected therapeutic speech changed the legal landscape, leading a federal judge to rule in favor of three doctors challenging California’s restrictions.

Dr. Pierre Kory argues that the case has implications far beyond COVID-19 because allowing governments or medical boards to dictate what physicians may say could suppress medical dissent and independent judgment. The three characterize the ruling as a major victory for doctors’ and patients’ freedom of medical discussion, while also crediting legal organizations that supported the litigation.
