The former US intelligence director said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should not host the 2022 Winter Olympics because they refused to let the international investigation into the origin of Wuhan pneumonia (COVID-19), not responding. before millions of people died from COVID-19.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe
John Ratcliffe served as Director of National Intelligence during the Trump administration. According to the Epoch Times, on Monday (August 2), he published an article on Fox News that pointed out that the CCP has been working on a large scale to cover up the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. situation at the onset of the pandemic, therefore the International Olympic Committee should not allow Beijing to host the Olympics.
Mr. Ratcliffe wrote: “The 2022 Winter Olympics should continue. We should not lose the opportunity of athletes who train hard.”
However, he emphasized that the world and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) should not allow the CCP to benefit from the organization of large-scale global events, because they refuse to be transparent, refuse to investigate. the origin of the virus, there was no response to the millions of souls around the world who died because of the disease.
Virus leak from the lab is the most convincing point
Mr. Ratcliffe mentioned that the CCP once again refused to investigate the second phase of the virus’s origin. “Just last week, China (CCP) rejected a plan by the World Health Organization (WHO) to investigate the virus leaking from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. This is remarkable, not only because China (CCP) continues to be belligerent, but also because WHO used to be an accomplice, initially succumbing to pressure from the CCP to reject the theory that the virus leaked in the laboratory. and distract from the issue of the CCP’s cover-up of the epidemic. But the reality is too difficult to refute, not even the WHO can ignore, so hopefully the International Olympic Committee cannot ignore it.”
During a pandemic, as the director of national intelligence, he has access to all of the most sensitive US government intelligence related to the pandemic, Mr. Ratcliffe said. What he witnessed all showed that the pandemic originated from a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology: “It is very simple, the theory of laboratory leaks is the only theory supported by science, emotional information journalism, and common sense”.
On Monday (August 2), the China Working Group led by Republican Commissioner Michael McCaul of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report entitled “Origins of the COVID-19 Virus: The New World War I investigation of Wuhan pneumonia”. The latest concluding report pointing to the direct origin of the virus involves the Wuhan Institute of Virology, saying that “there is a large amount of evidence of the virus originating from the Wuhan Institute of Virology”, the virus already exists. as early as September 2019. The report calls for a full investigation.
The CCP’s actions are not in line with Olympic values
Mr. Ratcliffe wrote that every move by the CCP to obstruct legal investigations, prevent criticism, and conduct global propaganda to shirk responsibility, even ridiculously asserts that the virus was created by the US military: “In crimes that have a harmful effect on most people on the planet, the CCP has not provided any evidence to prove their innocence, because they cannot do it. that is okay”.
As for the prosecution of the CCP and its continued denial of transparency and accountability, the former Director of Intelligence urged President Biden to take more active action, declassify and disclose it publicly. intelligence, because it is of vital importance to U.S. national and global interests: “World leaders have a responsibility to find the source of COVID-19 because millions billions of people have been harmed, especially those who have lost their lives and their families, it must be for justice to ensure that the situation does not happen again.”
He suggested the effort should start with the US government sharing what it knows. In addition, the International Olympic Committee should reject the CCP so as not to affect the organization’s global image: “The seven Olympic values are friendship, excellence, respect, courage, determination, encouragement, and equality. . The fact that the CCP covers up the source of the virus proves once again that they are not the friend of the world.”
According to the Epoch Times, on July 23, the bipartisan US Congressional committee responsible for monitoring human rights in China called on the International Olympic Committee to rearrange the venue for the 2022 Winter Olympics. wrote to the Olympic Committee that the Olympic Games should be moved to another country, unless the human rights situation in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region improves, verified by an independent UN just mechanism.
