*This article by Milosz Matuschek first appeared in German in* ***["Freischwebende Intelligenz".](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/usaid-and-co-die-ersten-kopfe-der)*** *In my first multi-part Corona series,* *[The Corona Complex](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/coronakomplex?utm_source=publication-search), I focused on the early inconsistencies of the "pandemic." In The Corona Connection, I will explore the key players involved in this event over multiple installments.* *It’s not yet spring, but the bud of truth is already breaking through the icy layer of lies. You can cover the truth with as much PR, manipulation, and propaganda as you want—it will only turn into compost. Because truth is rooted in something; it’s a living organism, while lies are rotting waste. The coming weeks and months will be enlightening.* ### The USAID Front Organization The grand cleanup led by Musk & Trump is in full swing. In the U.S., the agency USAID is currently being dismantled amid protests from employees. [As of Friday, February 7, nearly all staff members have lost their jobs.](https://www.usaid.gov) What does this mean? *Der Spiegel* referred to USAID as a "development agency" and reported that a nervous Bill Gates now wants to [call Trump](https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/bill-gates-zu-stopp-der-us-auslandshilfen-donald-trump-hat-mir-seine-telefonnummer-gegeben-a-fafae10c-3163-43ea-96a4-f218050d658a) "to save lives." The *NZZ* euphemistically describes USAID as an "independent development aid agency." Seeing "AID" in the name, people think of humanitarian efforts—Bob Geldof, compassionate nuns, and "Bread for the World." In reality, USAID ("United States Agency for International Development" – claim: "From the American People") is far from just a food distribution service (although it does that too). Primarily, it serves as a [covert, rapid-response intelligence force for operations such as regime change, astroturfing, and targeted executions](https://foundationforfreedomonline.com/usaid-internal-documents-reveal-government-plot-to-promote-censorship-initiatives/)—expanding new business models for the U.S. empire. They are the enforcers who move in before "peace, democracy, and reconstruction" are declared. USAID was heavily involved in Ukraine, providing $5 billion in funding, as Robert Kennedy Jr. recently stated in an interview. The agency throws money around freely, financing both the GAVI vaccine alliance and the World Economic Forum—because, of course, these are the world's most "needy" causes. <https://x.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1886153128757629157> ### The PREDICT Program It gets even stranger. Under the so-called PREDICT program, significant funding was allocated to research coronaviruses in bats. This research was conducted in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and included gain-of-function experiments. In 2017, the NIH lifted a previously imposed moratorium on funding such research, paving the way for its resumption and expansion, including international partnerships like the one with WIV. USAID spent about $200 million in taxpayer money on bat virus research, with approximately $50 million going directly to WIV. Despite being a publicly funded science program, PREDICT's administrators have largely refused to release sensitive details about its research. Peter Daszak, who received substantial funding ([now cut off](https://oversight.house.gov/release/breaking-hhs-formally-debars-ecohealth-alliance-dr-peter-daszak-after-covid-select-reveals-pandemic-era-wrongdoing/)), even ignored some subpoenas. Officials shared information with taxpayers only reluctantly and in minimal amounts. <https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1886098345938284813> A 2023 investigation by the *[White Coat Waste Project](https://blog.whitecoatwaste.org/2023/06/15/covid-origin-wcw-investigation-proves-u-s-govt-funded-patient-zero/)*, following a public records request, revealed that U.S. taxpayer dollars—through the NIH and USAID—flowed to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. These funds supported gain-of-function experiments in which viruses were genetically modified to increase their transmissibility or virulence. The program ended in 2019. ### The Mystery of Ben Hu One of the most explosive revelations was the identification of Ben Hu, a lead researcher at WIV, as a potential "Patient Zero." Reports indicate that he developed COVID-like symptoms as early as November 2019—before the first officially recognized cases. Hu was deeply involved in the gain-of-function experiments funded by U.S. taxpayer money. Looking further back, the picture becomes clearer. As early as 2012, USAID funds were used to capture bats in caves, including those in Mojiang, where [several miners died from a deadly respiratory illness](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33194988/). The infection was reportedly caused by bat droppings. <https://x.com/TheSeeker268/status/1886469590701760960> Too many coincidences are piling up: The virus strain from back then, RaTG13, has striking similarities to SARS-CoV-2. Fauci’s pardon dates back to as early as 2014. A significant portion of funding from both Fauci and USAID went to Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance. Daszak in 2016 gave surprisingly candid responses regarding gain-of-function research. <https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1883378918687719725> The director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, had already pointed out in previous hearings that [U.S. public funds were used for research in Wuhan.](https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1886126884108554352) So, to summarize here quickly, adding a question: * A CIA front organization was catching sick bats in a previous outbreak zone of deadly respiratory diseases in China (e.g., Mojiang caves) in 2012. * It funded tens of millions of dollars' worth of research to enhance the pathogenicity of coronaviruses in Wuhan. * It transferred money to Chinese military-medical institutions. * Wuhan researcher Ben Hu fell mysteriously ill and became Patient Zero. So here’s the question: Isn't a natural origin of the virus the most obvious explanation in the world? *** ADVERTISEMENT: *Looking for the easiest way to buy Bitcoin and store it yourself?

The official narrative worldwide is that the virus originated naturally—perhaps from someone consuming or handling a bat at a wet market near WIV. Yet, neither the sick animal nor the first human case of "natural transmission" has ever been identified. At the same time, intelligence-backed "nudging" units worked preemptively to discredit vaccine skeptics and bolster "Trusted News Initiatives" and fact-checking programs. [Even the CIA director has now suggested that COVID may have originated in a lab.](https://apnews.com/article/covid-cia-trump-china-pandemic-lab-leak-9ab7e84c626fed68ca13c8d2e453dde1) And he likely knows exactly why. One thing is certain: The theory of natural zoonotic transmission in COVID-19 has been obliterated. It was the PR stunt of the century. A joint effort by the CIA and China—who else could pull off such a grand deception? These revelations are making the players behind the "Corona Connection" increasingly visible: a network of CIA-China partnerships, NGOs, the media apparatus, corrupt politicians, and willing, unscrupulous, or even outright sociopathic scientists.  As these connections come to light over the next months and years, the consequences for those involved—and for society at large—will be immense. We are approaching a moment of societal reckoning. A house of cards can only stand for so long before it collapses. In Germany, Christian Drosten was one of the most aggressive proponents of the "conspiracy theory" label, frequently using it to discredit critics. As one of the main gatekeepers of the COVID narrative, he played a key role in shaping the scientific community’s response. His most steadfast domestic opponent was Hamburg physicist Roland Wiesendanger. [Drosten was one of the most outspoken propagandists of the zoonosis theory—while simultaneously working as its chief cover-up artist and deflector. He often portrayed himself as the misunderstood victim.](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/wanted-drosten-luege?utm_source=publication-search) This is what happens when the desire for recognition and power overshadows any sense of medical ethics. Now, serious questions arise about his role: What did he know about the research in Wuhan? Was he aware of USAID’s funding? Given that Charité (his institution) received grants from Bill Gates and that his PCR test was immediately declared the global gold standard, it seems unlikely that he knew nothing. This demands an investigative committee and legal proceedings. In the coming weeks and months, many more connections will be uncovered, fully exposing the "Corona Connection." The era of silence is over. And so is the era of immunity. *** This article was written with the **[Pareto-client](https://pareto.space/read?category=global)** on Nostr.
