The mainstream media is attempting to reconstitute its COVID narrative after multiple government agencies confirmed that a Chinese lab in Wuhan is the likely source of the deadly Pandemic known as COVID-19. But as progressive media outlets like NPR and Stephen Colbert voiced opposition to the government confirmation of a theory of origin that they had already attacked, the FBI Director Christopher Wray reinforced the finding.

00:00:30.340 The mainstream media is attempting to reconstitute its COVID narrative
00:00:33.760 after multiple government agencies confirmed that a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan
00:00:38.100 was the likely origin of the virus.
00:00:40.740 Last week, the Wall Street Journal dropped a report based on classified evidence
00:00:44.540 from the Department of Energy revealing that the agency believed
00:00:47.940 that the lab origin hypothesis was the most likely explanation for COVID-19.
00:00:52.980 Even as progressive media outlets like NPR and alleged comedians like Stephen Colbert
00:00:58.600 voiced opposition to the government confirmation of a theory of origin that they had already
00:01:03.500 attacked, FBI Director Christopher Wray reinforced the finding, stating that his own agency also
00:01:09.200 identified the Wuhan lab as the likely source of the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:01:13.480 It's clear that, for whatever reason, the regime has decided that now is the time to acknowledge
00:01:19.240 the truth about the pandemic's origin.
00:01:21.580 A tsunami of leftist sophistry formed as the Progressive Commentary attempted to process its
00:01:28.080 latest software update.
00:01:29.480 These media outlets and talking heads had spent years calling the lab origin theory a racist
00:01:35.560 right-wing conspiracy theory.
00:01:37.960 Senator Tom Cotton was relentlessly attacked by news organizations from the New York Times
00:01:43.340 to the Washington Post as a dangerous and radical purveyor of misinformation
00:01:47.640 for simply suggesting the possibility.
00:01:50.920 Many experts, not to mention countless members of the general public, had been discredited,
00:01:56.240 discarded, and deplatformed for doubting the wet market narrative.
00:02:00.640 How could the regime's rabid attack dogs pivot away from a storyline that had been so aggressively
00:02:06.960 enforced?
00:02:08.660 If you thought that this monumental collapse of credibility, this sudden implosion of the
00:02:14.580 certainty of science would give the media a moment's hesitation, you were sadly mistaken.
00:02:20.620 The Progressive Chattering class spend their days forcing the American public to pretend 1.00
00:02:25.340 that men can become women at cultural gunpoint.
00:02:29.020 Science was never really their lodestone of truth.
00:02:32.540 They're not actually undergoing some kind of dramatic epistemological crisis here.
00:02:38.700 While some would expect a little more coordination between the regime and its media arm to create
00:02:43.860 a smoother narrative transition, this trailing dialectic serves its own purpose.
00:02:49.680 Our ruling elites secure power through a constant invocation of the state of exception.
00:02:55.420 In theory, we live in a democracy where the power of the government is constrained through
00:02:59.880 both the structure of the constitution and the will of the people.
00:03:03.440 In practice, however, both limiting factors can easily be removed in the case of an emergency.
00:03:09.100 No constitution can plan for everything, and as presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin
00:03:14.860 Delano Roosevelt have proven, Americans will allow their leaders an incredible degree of
00:03:19.780 latitude during an emergency.
00:03:22.180 By invoking the state of exception during an emergency, the ruling elite can grasp large quantities
00:03:28.260 of power that would never otherwise be granted.
00:03:31.540 A cunning leader knows that power, once granted, is rarely returned, and it's very difficult for
00:03:37.480 the public to hold anyone accountable after the fact.
00:03:40.840 When an emergency presents the opportunity to achieve power under the state of exception,
00:03:45.560 it's always best to manufacture the narrative to secure power as quickly as possible,
00:03:50.420 then make the necessary adjustments later, after that power is firmly in hand.
00:03:55.620 The pandemic allowed for the creation of an indefinite state of exception, during which the regime
00:04:01.380 could lock down its political opponents and unleash its own supporters to punish those
00:04:05.920 who opposed them.
00:04:07.680 Churches and gyms were shuttered.
00:04:09.280 Abortion clinics and Walmarts were deemed essential.
00:04:11.900 Leftist corporate allies like Amazon acquired a near monopoly on commerce, while their local
00:04:17.180 retail competition was driven into bankruptcy.
00:04:20.620 Trump supporters were forced to attend funerals of their loved ones on Zoom, while Joe Biden voters
00:04:26.440 drank champagne in the streets to celebrate his election.
00:04:30.100 Politics is, after all, about rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies.
00:04:35.920 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:04:39.260 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard.
00:04:44.100 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill.
00:04:46.760 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner.
00:04:50.480 Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer, so download the app and get delivery
00:04:54.800 in as fast as 60 minutes.
00:04:56.700 Plus, enjoy $0 delivery fees on your first three orders.
00:05:00.400 Service fees exclusions and terms apply.
00:05:02.680 Instacart.
00:05:03.500 Groceries that over-deliver.
00:05:05.920 During the early pandemic, the most important priority was discrediting Donald Trump and
00:05:10.680 any GOP allies who might be able to contend for the power that the state of exception would
00:05:15.580 produce.
00:05:16.820 This is not a defense of Trump's actions during the crisis.
00:05:20.380 He was largely played like a fiddle and conceded power to hostile functionaries like Anthony
00:05:24.840 Fauci.
00:05:25.580 But the left immediately understood the pandemic as an opportunity to unseat an opposing president
00:05:30.680 with a wildly successful economy that was likely heading towards re-election.
00:05:35.160 Anything Trump said about the pandemic, from its origins to the effectiveness of possible
00:05:40.720 treatments, had to be immediately attacked and discredited.
00:05:44.820 Once the threat of Trump had been removed and the desired power had been consolidated during
00:05:50.800 the state of exception, the regime could always slowly acknowledge the truth bit by bit, using
00:05:56.180 its media apparatus to retroactively bury the most divisive lies in order to smooth out the
00:06:01.820 transition.
00:06:03.020 The hosts of The View have already joined several liberal journalists in blaming Trump's racist
00:06:08.680 xenophobia for poisoning the well of the lab origin theory.
00:06:13.240 According to the new storyline, it was only Trump's evil racism that kept the media from embracing the
00:06:19.260 scientific truth, and he is ultimately to blame for whatever consequences followed.
00:06:24.820 What we're observing now is the process by which our ruling elite consolidate the power
00:06:29.900 that they gained while reconciling their narrative to something that more closely resembles the
00:06:35.000 observable reality.
00:06:36.980 Bit by bit, piece by piece, the powers that be have admitted the truth behind most of the
00:06:42.500 conspiracy theories that they so violently attacked.
00:06:45.540 From the efficacy of the vaccine, to the possible side effects of the injection, to the superiority
00:06:51.440 of natural immunity, and now the origin of the pandemic itself.
00:06:56.160 Each admission is made after the desired power has already been obtained and in a manner that would
00:07:01.820 diffuse responsibility.
00:07:03.980 This slow drip of truth is not some admission of failure or culpability.
00:07:09.220 It's instead designed to turn the political ratchet.
00:07:12.160 Conservatives and COVID skeptics get to feel vindicated, getting to utter a well-earned,
00:07:18.060 I told you so, and feel victorious.
00:07:21.220 While this is understandably cathartic, this gesture is ultimately meaningless, as those who 0.93
00:07:26.820 lied for the sake of power and used that power to punish their enemies face no consequences.
00:07:33.220 Vast amounts of wealth and power were transferred under false pretenses during the pandemic-induced
00:07:39.240 state of exception, but no one is held accountable.
00:07:42.780 No one admits failure.
00:07:44.740 Instead, the regime gets to consolidate its gains by letting conservatives feel like they
00:07:49.560 secured some form of win.
00:07:52.120 Unless a specific political and legal cost is paid for the deception, abuse, and tyranny
00:07:59.500 exercised during the pandemic, the left will simply watch and wait for the next emergency
00:08:05.140 under which they can invoke the state of exception and start the whole process over again.
