You might want to contact Cmdr. Charles Rixey https://prometheusshrugged.substack.com/ who was the guy who published the DEFUSE proposal 'leak' or 'find' to review this work. The more eyes on this story the better we can vet it.

This is some of the most important journalistic and criminal investigative work being done on the planet right now and Jim gets high praise from me at least.

I've finished your excellent book. I've been following the origins debate off and on for a couple of years now and keeping an eye on Emily Kopp's work, but I was nowhere near having any complete narrative in my head. I believe you have solved it. Chapeau!

I trust you sent a copy to Ridley & Chan and RFK Jr, as you have gone beyond their books in this area. With RFK Jr, you may be able to get it in front of people who can change things in the hope that this will never happen again.

Thank you, Winston! Glad you get it because it's an easy-to-follow narrative about a complex subject. You're a fast reader because I haven't even received my "author copies" yet (not part of Prime shipping).

I'll send them a copy. Ridley understands the implications of SARS2 infecting Egyptian fruit bats. RFK Jr wants to fire the NIH. Please leave a review on Amazon since word of mouth is the best method for spreading the truth.

Sorry Jim but your dates appear to be wrong for instance R01AI110964 was granted by NIH to eco health from 2014 to 2019, ie this grant started before the DARPA grant application in 2018.

Sorry but since you can't read: "That grant was quietly renewed in July 2019 during (Trump's) administration—a $3.2 million investment by Fauci in Daszak’s DARPA Defuse project. The odd part of the 2019 R01 grant renewal was the inclusion of Ralph Baric of UNC—a high-dollar scientist attached to a relatively low-dollar subgrant to Wuhan. It was so odd it came up in Baric’s congressional testimony:

Committee: Did you have any conversations with Dr. Daszak regarding the termination?

Baric: I hadn't received any of the money to do anything on that grant yet when the termination notice hit. So he called and told me that the grant had been terminated and that the EcoHealth lawyers were looking into it. So I knew about it. But in terms of how that would impact my program, that was a very small component on that grant.

Committee: When did you get added to the grant?

Baric: After the first round. So it would have been the second round, I don’t know exactly. I can't remember.

Committee: So going into year 6?

Baric: It would have been going in -- if year 6 was around 2019 or 2020, that's when I would have been a part of it. My role was to study a couple of the viruses that the Wuhan Institute of Virology found that they were willing to share with me. So I always viewed that as not number one or number two on the list, maybe number five or number six on the list.
