CTH says it often because it is critical to understanding the motives: “When the institutions need a public relations team to get out in front of sunlight upon their corrupt activity they follow a consistent pattern. (1) The FBI leaks to the New York Times and Politico; (2) The CIA leaks to The Washington Post; and (3) The State Dept leaks to CNN.” This pattern has been consistent for well over a decade.
As a result it does not come as a surprise to see the Biden State Department turn to their stenographers at CNN when they are worried the sunlight is getting too intense.
In this example it is because the “Wuhan Lab Leak Theory” is no longer a theory, and the origin of the COVID virus is again under intense scrutiny. As the walls close in, the corrupt network within the Dept. of State (DoS) attempt to get in front of their duplicity.
Washington (CNN) – “President Joe Biden’s team shut down a closely-held State Department effort launched late in the Trump administration to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab over concerns about the quality of its work, according to three sources familiar with the decision.
The existence of the State Department inquiry and its termination this spring by the Biden administration — neither of which has been previously reported — comes to light amid renewed interest in whether the virus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military. The Biden administration is also facing scrutiny of its own efforts to determine if the Chinese government was responsible for the virus.

Perhaps the most consistent question about the installed dementia patient occupying the oval office, is about who actually is planning the policy, scheduling the implementation and giving Biden his instructions after his breakfast pudding. For those who have followed politics closely, the answer has always been obvious: Barack Obama and the Chicago crew.
When this baseline forms the forward analysis, the paradigm of historic western engagement with North Korea takes on an entire new dimension.
