>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases division (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), both of the United States Health and Human Services Department (HHS) of the federal government, went to Capitol Hill on Wednesday 29 July 2026, to testify to a Senate committee hearing chaired by Sen. Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY.) The video of the hearing is here: https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/testimony-of-anthony-fauci/. Yours Truly commented on this hearing, both while it was in session, and afterwards, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/07/29/kmag-daily-thread-20260729-data-centers/. After Dr. Fauci read his “opening statement” to the committee, he spent the rest of the hearing refusing to answer any any questions posed to him by committee hearing members, citing the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a total of one hundred and eleven times during the hearing in response to questions from committee hearing members. After closing statements were made by various committee hearing members, Sen. Dr. Paul stated that he would seek a vote regarding Contempt of Congress by Dr. Fauci next week, and then adjourned the hearing.

There was extensive media coverage of the committee hearing, and of Dr. Fauci’s repeated refusals to answer questions posed to him by committee hearing members by his invoking of the Fifth Amendment. This coverage either praises Dr. Fauci, or excoriates him. Yours Truly will, instead, focus on three concepts: Fraudulent activity / Lying; Manipulation / Control; and, Mindset (Narcissism, among other aspects.) Some of these aspects appear to present in combination (examples: Lying and Control; Fraudulent Activity and Narcissism.)

Sen. Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY) released multiple entries made by Dr. Anthony Fauci in his “personal diary”, a diary that Dr. Fauci wrote on computers owned by the Federal government. Multiple entries on this “personal diary” conflict with, or contradict, statements made by Dr. Fauci in public, including in sworn testimony before Congress. The “personal diary” entries by Dr. Fauci are here: https://www.paul.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026.07.26_Tonys-Diary-Package.pdf.

Fraudulent Activity / Lying:

Dr. Fauci “fraudulently claimed” that Ivermectin did not work to prevent or cure COVID-19:

Dr. Fauci lying regarding his “not knowing the authors of the “Proximal Origin” paper”:

Lying and Control:

Please see: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/psyop-19-coverup-dr-faucis-testimony, “PSYOP-19 COVERUP: Dr. Fauci’s Testimony Preview: Conning President Trump, Lying About Lockdowns, Malignant Narcissism, Epstein, Bill Gates, Fatality Rate Fraud, Hydroxychloroquine Suppression & More”, 27 July 2026.

Control:

Dr. Fauci suffered a pulmonary infarction in July 2021, several months after he took the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” (mRNA-1273.) He was treated for this incident. He kept this situation out of public knowledge — when he needed to, in Yours Truly’s opinion, gone public with the situation as an illustration of the dangers of this “vaccine.” Please see: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/tony-fauci-was-vaccine-injured, 30 July 2026. Please see the screenshot of the Summary of Mr. Kirsch’s article, below:

Fraudulent activity, Control, Narcissism:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) detailing, in the Senate hearing on 29 July, how Dr. Fauci used government time, government resources, and government employees to assist in his being awarded honors; some of which awards included money:

Mindset:

Yours Truly presents these: One: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sociopath-vs-narcissist, “Sociopath vs. narcissist: What is the difference?”, Amy Murnan, medically reviewed by Lori Lawrenz, PsyD, 30 October 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

And, Two: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/psychopathy/, reviewed by Kaja Perina, 24 October 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

Yours Truly will provide two examples of Dr. Fauci’s mindset, which, in this writer’s opinion, may present as “socionarcissism verging on possible psychopathy”: First, his experiments on AIDS-infected babies and young children (some of whom were orphans) in New York state. Please see this article, by our good Aubergine, from 2022: https://www.theqtree.com/2022/01/03/who-or-what-killed-all-of-these-children-the-world-deserves-to-know/. There is this link in her article, proving that these experiments did occur, and that babies and children died: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/rfk-jr-reporter-found-monument-dead-orphans-tortured-killed-monster-fauci-video/, 20 December 2021.

Second, the experiments on beagle puppies, in which their vocal cords were cut before the dogs were placed in cages to be exposed to sandflies (which would eat them alive): experiments which were allegedly funded through Dr. Fauci: https://insiderpaper.com/fauci-dog-beagles-funding-cage-sandflies/, “Fauci under fire for ‘dog experiments’ in which beagles were kept in cages to be eaten by hungry sandflies {UPDATE: Agency responds]”, Brendan Taylor, 26 October 2021. Please see the screenshot from this article, below, which was the “response” from NIAID on this situation:

In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Anthony Fauci is not a person “who has lost his way”, according to Dr. Peter A. McCullough (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-guilt-ridden-anthony-fauci, “BREAKING — Guilt-Ridden Anthony Fauci Pleads the Fifth Amendment 111 Times”, 29 July 2026. Dr. Anthony Fauci chose his path. In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Fauci is not “guilt-ridden”: in fact, something quite different: he presents as a person who shows, by his words and deeds, that he has no concept of guilt, no concept of personal responsibility, and no concept of either empathy or compassion.

Thank you, PAVACA! I think we have to consider the risks of democrats getting back into the presidency or any other position of authority. They might put him back in charge of any organization where he could harm more people or animals. That is not a risk I would choose to take..

This is in NO way a defense of Fauci.

I can’t help but remark upon how hard it must have been to sit through the accusations and statements without being able to respond. It would have been extremely difficult for me to keep quiet, and one of Fauci’s attorneys was removed for not staying quiet.

He, and his attorneys, must have been extremely wary of perjury charges resulting from the hearing. That tells its own tale.

Also not a defense of him: The contrast between the depths to which he has fallen in some of the public’s eyes, on public display in an accusatory hearing, in contrast to his narcissistic love of fame, is stark and must feel like a form of persecution and possibly even torture to him (well deserved).

I ask myself, What if this is the extent of his punishment? After all he has done and the millions of people whose lives were affected or who died, this would be as nothing. But it’s gratifying to see that at least he has been knocked off his pedestal and that his obfuscation and lies and narcissism are being revealed. A good first step.

I don’t know what the path would be to nailing him for his crimes against humanity. I hope it happens. (He could die before it happened.) Some of the states are looking into charging him.

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/29/florida-attorney-general-fauci-probe-covid-claims-01015441

…When asked by another X user about options, [Ron] DeSantis said only a state attorney general or prosecutor can bring a case due to his pardon.

“It would require either a state AG or local state attorney to bring a case, which would need to establish violations of state law as well as personal jurisdiction over the defendant,” DeSantis wrote. 

Paul told Fauci he will face consequences for pleading the Fifth and has scheduled an Aug. 5 committee meeting to discuss whether to declare him in contempt of Congress.

Does Contempt of Congress have any teeth? All of this appears to be dancing around Fauci’s crimes against humanity. Maybe that’s all that is possible because of the pardon?

I also would like to see others charged and prosecuted (Baric, Birx, etc.).

Birx throws Fauci under the bus here. She says Fauci was privately talking with governors and mayors and telling them to shut things down, while, according to her, “We were trying to figure out how to contain the virus without doing all of that.”

The first comment, by Jefferey Jaxen, says:

SHE IS LYING…..According to @ScottAtlas_IT‘s book:

“Dr. Fauci held court in the public eye on a daily basis, so frequently that many misconstrue his role as being in charge. However, it was really Dr. Birx who articulated Task Force policy. All the advice from the Task Force to the states came from Dr. Birx. All written recommendations about their on-the-ground policies were from Dr. Birx. Dr. Birx conducted almost all the visits to states on behalf of the Task Force.” (p. 309-10)

Agency also responded to accusation of vocal cords removal:
“Vocal cordectomies, conducted humanely under anesthesia, may be used in research facilities where numerous dogs are present.”

According to WHOM?

By WHOSE authority is this unsubstantiated assertion being made.

I just realized that yesterday’s post was In Lieu of Wolf…..which means I should have brought Kurt’s post.

So, here, we have [almost] new Schlichter —

“This is to reduce noise, which is not only stressful to the animals but can also reach decibel levels that exceed OSHA allowable limits for people and can lead to hearing loss.”

______________

So you torture animals, for fun and profit, and when they howl in pain, to comfort yourselves, you slit their throats so the sound of their torture doesn’t bother your ears?

And expecting you to wear ear protection is too much of an inconvenience, when you can just rip their vocal cords out instead — so the dogs can scream in silent agony.

This is the kind of thing that can only happen where no one believes in God or Hell.

John Michael Greer:

[Alberta-based tractor manufacturer] Ursa Ag recently set shockwaves in motion by marketing a line of tractors with no onboard computers at all.

Tractors these days are fragile, overpriced monstrosities in which everything is done by computer. They break down constantly because of excessive complexity, and only authorized repair firms are allowed to fix them, at wildly inflated prices and with long delays.

Ursa Ag’s tractors are on the other end of the spectrum. They’re simple, sturdy, easy to repair, and cost a modest fraction of what the big boys are charging. Unsurprisingly, the demand is so high that they’re scrambling to expand production lines, because what they offer is what farmers actually want. It’s also the kind of tractor that was standard on North American farms in 1970 or so.

Once again, somebody pushed the rewind button on progress, and the people most directly affected by it couldn’t be happier.

There’s a video of two people eating with masks on. Of course there’s an opening for their mouths.

I wonder if people will look back on this time and marvel at the stupidity and gullibility of the masses.
