Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Is the David Morens indictment science vs. politics, or even political retaliation? This government scientist has been indicted for allegedly conspiring to suppress investigation into the Covid lab leak. Meanwhile, passengers disembarked a ship in Spain after Hantavirus exposures, and we recorded this episode the next day (May 11) because this leaves us in uncomfortable wonder: Are we still vulnerable to the same failures that may have cost millions of lives? We're not here to do much rehash of what we covered in our landmark March 2023 Episode 41, "Covid and the Spillover Gang." There, we presented a thorough case for why the lab leak was a far better explanation than zoonotic spillover. Here, we're bringing you the breaking facts in the Morens indictment, what they reveal about the original investigation, and why they matter today. And here's what might surprise you most: Jim will show how this entire affair — the cover-ups, the politics, the tangled science — can be handled with Grace leading to reconciliation. Two crises. New evidence. A path forward. Start listening.

There are the obvious reasons it's wrong, and then... There is the overlooked reason. Besides that, it's contrary to a No Kings ethic, not to mention the Zero Aggression Principle and Human Respect. Maybe, when you believe the ruler's heart is rotten and his actions stink, instead of violence, there's a role for a higher power. With that, there's an action that promotes peace in the heart and only then... Peace in the land. CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator.
