'Highly suspect': DARPA tried to hire executive at Wuhan lab funder as COVID emerged, he says

September 20, 2022

came from a lab, the fact that [Fauci] approved the research and funded the lab would draw culpability to himself" and NIH, "who made the unwise decision to send money to China to do dangerous research."

The senator said he'd try to appoint a special counsel to investigate Fauci and the federal COVID response.

"We have some good Rs that have been going after #Fauci and so we spent months working to put together what they needed to take action," Renz tweeted Sunday, though none of the officials the packet names seems to have acknowledged it.

Johnson's office responded to a query but hasn't answered whether the senator was working with Renz or Huff, who refers to himself as a whistleblower. EcoHealth didn't respond to queries.

In a press conference Saturday, Renz said that offers he made to present the evidence his team has put together were "turned down by some mainstream right-wing outlets" going back to May. Renz has equated Fauci with Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for Nazi Germany, and shared the hashtag #FauciForPrison.

Huff has taken an active role promoting his declaration, tweeting the Renz packet and sharing it directly with several Twitter accounts including those of the House Republicans, public health watchdog U.S. Right to Know and the conservative Libs of TikTok.

He said he first came to oppose gain-of-function (GoF) research through his emerging infectious diseases doctoral work at the University of Minnesota with Michael Osterholm, now an advisor to President Biden. GoF compresses "thousands of years of unnatural evolution" into months, "with the likelihood of success decreasing in every timestep."

Huff left Sandia in late 2014 to become a staff scientist at EcoHealth, where he reviewed a proposal to NIH that "clearly stated" GoF SARS-CoV-2 research "was already underway" at WIV "with the support" of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

He witnessed "firsthand presentations" by EcoHealth staff and research partners at WIV and the University of North Carolina on the group's GoF research and warned leadership, including President Peter Daszak, about "biosafety and biosecurity risks in contract laboratories" doing its work, to no avail.

Huff said he helped create an investment pitch for the CIA's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel to expand EcoHealth's GoF and "humanized mice" research.

When he became VP in late 2015, Huff said he learned the group "depended heavily on government contract salary overhead to remain solvent" and noticed "irregular financial transactions" such as "double dipping on contracts, between government organizations and private donors" including the Gates Foundation.

"Coincidentally," the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) tried to poach Huff through a "highly suspect" recruitment in fall 2019, when "the first cases of COVID-19 likely emerged." He believes "people working within the US government potentially identified me as a risk to knowing firsthand" that COVID-19's emergence "was a consequence" of federal sponsorship of "genetic engineering" and calculated that hiring Huff would legally muzzle him.

NAR: Existing-Home Sales Decreased to 4.80 million SAAR in August

Existing-home sales experienced a slight dip in August, marking the seventh consecutive month of declines, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Month-over-month sales varied across the four major U.S. regions as two regions recorded increases, one was unchanged and the other posted a drop. On a year-over-year basis, however, sales fell in all regions.

Total existing-home sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, notched a minor contraction of 0.4% from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.80 million in August. Year-over-year, sales faded by 19.9% (5.99 million in August 2021).

...

Total housing inventory registered at the end of August was 1,280,000 units, a decrease of 1.5% from July and unchanged from the previous year. Unsold inventory sits at a 3.2-month supply at the current sales pace – identical to July and up from 2.6 months in August 2021.

Cap#1 existing home sales, on a Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) basis since 1993. Sales in August (4.80 million SAAR) were down 0.4% from the previous month and were 19.9% below the August 2021 sales rate. Cap#2 shows nationwide inventory for existing homes. According to the NAR, inventory decreased to 1.28 million in August from 1.30 million in July.

Headline inventory is not seasonally adjusted, and inventory usually decreases to the seasonal lows in December and January, and peaks in mid-to-late summer. Cap#3 shows the year-over-year (YoY) change in reported existing home inventory and months-of-supply. Since inventory is not seasonally adjusted, it really helps to look at the YoY change. Note: Months-of-supply is based on the seasonally adjusted sales and not seasonally adjusted inventory. Inventory was unchanged year-over-year (blue) in August compared to August 2021.

Months of supply (red) was unchanged at 3.2 months in August from 3.2 months in July.

Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement-raises by 75bp points

The rate hike brings the central bank’s benchmark interest rate, the federal funds rate, to a new range of 3.0% to 3.25% — its highest level since 2008 — from a current range between 2.25% and 2.5%.

Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices, and broader price pressures.

Russia's war against Ukraine is causing tremendous human and economic hardship. The war and related events are creating additional upward pressure on inflation and are weighing on global economic activity. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 3 to 3-1/4 percent and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in the Plans for Reducing the Size of the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet that were issued in May. The Committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
