Fauci Diaries: Anthony Fauci Ran to Obama for PR Help, Obama Called Trump a ‘Hopeless Idiot… Pathological Liar’

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci ran to former President Barack Obama as his public image deteriorated during the coronavirus pandemic, recording that Obama referred to Donald Trump as a “hopeless idiot” and “pathological liar.”

The diary entries — released by Rep. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs ahead of Fauci’s testimony before the committee — provide a look into Fauci’s personal thinking throughout the pandemic, seemingly cherishing his own rise to fame more than anything else. Many entries show Fauci marveling over his popularity and gushing over his many media appearances. At one point, he reveled in what he described as his “explosive and really unimaginable” fame.

But when the tide began to turn, Fauci did not know how to handle it and desperately reached out to the far left for help in restoring his tattered image. He received quite a bit of bad press as the public grew weary of the coronavirus lies, blatant displays of hypocrisy, and the continued demonization of those refusing to get the vaccines (which did not prevent transmission of the virus or prevent a recipient from contracting it, contrary to initial claims from public health officials).

In April 2022, for instance, Fauci was still making grandiose statements like, “You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up, you won’t have a surge of infections.”

On top of that, taxpayer watchdog White Coast Waste Project brought attention to some other horrific studies reportedly under his leadership. Notably, the Trump administration stopped the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) beagle experimentation.

“Now they have begun harassing campaign where I am getting does [sic] is in dozens of calls on my cell phone using FaceTime from numbers that I do not recognize which are clearly people who now have my cell phone number for harassing me about the Beagle study,” Fauci lamented in his diary.

“It is so very clear now that this is a concerted effort to discredit me and assassinate my character. We have counted [sic] the attacks regarding the Beagle dog experiments, but still the attacks continue falsely claiming that NIAID funded the studies,” he wrote.

As PR turned sour on a range of fronts, Fauci ran to Obama for advice.

In a Nov. 4, 2021 diary entry, Fauci wrote, “Leslie Dach had contacted Barack Obama to ask him to give me a call to see what he could do to counter the slanderous lies there have been coming from the far right press, extreme right elements in society, and even several members of the Senate and the House.”

He revealed that Obama called him and “offered to help in any way that he can. He started off the conversation by saying that he was concerned about me and how I was holding up under this onslaught of slanderous lies.”

“HE SAID THAT I WAS A ‘CIVILIAN’ and that I should not have to put with this nonsense. He as a politician is used to this, but I have done nothing but serve that American public and the world for decades. He expressed concern that this would interfere with my important work on behalf of the American people,” he said, asserting that Obama offered to call “Ron Klain and or Jeff Zients to ask them to have the administration be proactive in countering these lies.”

“President Obama said that he would call up Jeff Zients and tell him to mobilize some of the people in the administration to proactively go out and defend me. I told President Obama about the crazy things that the far-right Republicans were doing including the fact that Donald Trump, Jr. had on his website the sale of sweatshirts and T-shirts to collect money for his campaign and on the T-shirts and sweatshirts it said ‘Fauci kills puppies,’” Fauci wrote.

“Obama said that Donald Trump junior is ‘A fucking moron.’ He apologized for using crude language but then went on to say that Donald Trump was a hopeless idiot who was a pathologic liar,” Fauci continued — an ironic claim, given that Fauci continued to lie to the public about the coronavirus throughout his rise to fame, even recording the mortality rate to be much lower than he was publicly stating in this very diary.

Fauci also asserted that Obama was “very upset that none of the moderate Republicans were actually speaking out on my behalf and were distancing themselves from all of this terrible slanderous behavior against me.”

Days later, Fauci wrote about a successful phone call with Eric Schultz “at the request of Barack Obama,” adding, “I am very thankful to Barack Obama for helping to set up this meeting with Eric.” He also praised articles defending him from the revelations made by White Coat Waste (WCW) during that time.

“From the moment we exposed Beaglegate, the Washington establishment — bureaucrats, politicians and the corporate media — circled the wagons to defend Fauci over his funding of deadly dog labs. Now, Fauci’s own diary reveals that former President Barack Obama personally helped him coordinate a covert damage-control campaign to discredit White Coat Waste after we ignited what the Washington Post called ‘the biggest firestorm yet for Fauci,’” Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President of WCW, said in light of these diary revelations.

The full diary, which also features Fauci marveling at his own fame, can be read here.

ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MS NOW ignore Fauci diary entries that reveal fixation on fame during COVID

Eye-popping diary entries written by Dr. Anthony Fauci reveal the former White House COVID advisor was fixated on his newfound celebrity at the height of the global pandemic, but anyone who relies on legacy media outlets for news and information may not be aware. 

ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN and MS NOW’s on-air broadcasts ignored Fauci’s diary entries from the time they were released on Saturday afternoon through Monday at 9 a.m. ET when flagship morning shows had concluded, according to a search of transcripts using Grabien Media. 

Released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., the journals chronicle Fauci’s day-to-day role during the COVID-19 crisis through conversations with President Donald Trump, governors and world leaders, media appearances, and his personal observations as the pandemic unfolded in 2020.

Paul, a longtime Fauci critic who frequently clashed with him over the federal response and the origins of the virus, made the diaries public as part of the committee’s ongoing oversight investigation. The diary entries document Fauci’s fondness of his newfound fame, cozy relationships with a variety of legacy media personalities, his growing frustration with the Trump White House and the suggestion that it was “not hyperbole” to say he was “the most famous and talked about person in the country.”

The diary entries exploded on social media but appear to have been ignored by mainstream news networks. 

“NBC Nightly News” failed to mention the story over the weekend and NBC continued to look the other way Monday morning on “Today,” according to Grabien transcripts. On ABC, “World News Tonight” and “Good Morning America” followed the same pattern, while “CBS’ Evening News” and “CBS Mornings” didn’t find anything newsworthy, either.  

Sunday affairs programs such as ABC’s “This Week,” NBC’s “Meet the Press” and CBS’ “Face the Nation” also declined to cover Fauci’s diary.

Diary Bombshell: Obama Personally Coached Fauci on Beaglegate, Deployed His Fixer, and Weaponized the Washington Post to Try and Crush White Coat Waste

In a massive development exposing the coordinated effort to protect Dr. Anthony Fauci and silence critics of taxpayer-funded animal experiments, newly released entries from the mad scientist’s personal diary show that former President Barack Obama not only contacted the former NIAID head about the Beaglegate scandal but actively advised him and connected him with his political fixer Eric Schultz to help discredit and shut down the taxpayer watchdog organization White Coat Waste.

This goes far beyond the account of the conversation that Fauci provided in his 2024 memoir.

The Gateway Pundit has done extensive reporting for years on White Coat Waste’s work that first brought Beaglegate into the national spotlight, reporting that the corporate media also spent years trying and failing to debunk.

In August 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported exclusively on WCW’s FOIA-obtained documents showing Fauci’s NIAID had directed a portion of a $375,800 grant to a laboratory in Tunisia where beagles were sedated, their heads locked into mesh cages filled with starved sand flies infected with Leishmania parasites so the insects could feed on the living dogs, and the animals were then isolated alone in desert cages for nine consecutive nights to serve as bait.

Additional records detailed a $424,000 University of Georgia study funded by Fauci’s division in which healthy beagles were given an experimental drug and intentionally infested with parasite-carrying flies, causing them to vocalize in pain for months before being killed, as well as domestic toxicity tests on dozens of beagle puppies that included surgical removal of vocal cords.

In one of many other beagle labs that White Coat Waste exposed, which were funded with American tax dollars under Dr. Fauci, dozens of beagles had their vocal cords cut to silence them before being used to test pharmaceuticals.

The horrifying beagle experiments were real, the funding was real, and the public and congressional pressure that followed forced changes. Some of these Fauci-approved dog tests are even still happening years after he left NIH.

Fauci Diary Shows He Lied to the Public About Coronavirus Fatality Rate

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci publicly lied about the coronavirus’s fatality rate, initially telling the public it was 2 to 2.5 percent but privately recording in his diary that it was “more like 0.2-0.3%.”

This explosive revelation is found in Fauci’s personal diary documenting his day-to-day duties in the early days of the Trump administration’s coronavirus response. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, released the diary ahead of Fauci’s appearance before the committee.

In a February 2020 entry, Fauci recorded the number of cases as well as his many media appearances. He also surmised that the mortality rate of the virus was “more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.”

The entry reads:

Tom Frieden called me this AM and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak. He and I are on the same page in thinking tht [sic] this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility and that the denominator is much greater than 34,867 (above) making the case fatality rate (CFR) more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.

However, that is not what Fauci was saying publicly around that time.

During a March appearance on Hannity, Fauci said the mortality for the coronavirus is “about two, two and a half percent.”

“The mortality for seasonal flu is 0.1. The mortality for this is about two, two and a half percent. It’s probably lower than that. It’s probably closer to one. But even if it’s one, it’s ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu. You got to make sure that people understand,” Fauci said.

That same month, testifying before Congress, Fauci touted those same figures yet again:

Well, understand that the seasonal flu that we deal with every year has a mortality of 0.1 percent. The stated mortality overall of this, when you look at all the data, including China, is about 3 percent. It first started off as two, and now three. I think if you count all the cases of minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, that probably brings the mortality rate down to somewhere around one percent, which means it is ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu.

I think that’s something that people can get their arms around and understand. I mean, people always say, well, the flu. You know, the flu does this. The flu does that. The flu has a mortality of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality of 10 times that. And that’s the reason why I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this.

That same month during an appearance on the Daily Show, Fauci told Trevor Noah that “the mortality is about 0.1 percent” for the seasonal flu.

“That’s a lot, and we get used to that morbidity and mortality, but the mortality of this is about 10 times that. It’s at least 1 percent,” Fauci said.

Yet, those figures are not what he recorded in his personal diary in that February entry.

REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China’s Payroll

The identities were buried.

Foreign-agent filings reveal that operatives working for a Chinese Communist Party-linked influence organization planned free trips for American journalists based on the potential for “favorable coverage” and sought to “effectively disseminate positive messages” about Beijing.

But the filings did not plainly identify the reporters who received the access.

By cross-referencing the filings with archived newsletters, annual reports and contemporaneous accounts, this investigation has uncovered the names of prominent American journalists who participated in China trips organized or funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF.

The roster includes current and former journalists from The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, NPR, the Associated Press, Vox, The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and other major American news organizations.

In several cases, the trips were followed by columns and reports defending Chinese government policies, attacking President Trump’s confrontation with Beijing or presenting the decline of American manufacturing as unavoidable.

CUSEF was founded by Tung Chee-hwa, a former vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a central component of the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front system.

A bipartisan congressional report explains that the United Front seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority” of the CCP. Its targets include foreign governments, universities, businesses, media organizations and other institutions capable of shaping public opinion.

CUSEF’s own foreign-agent records reveal how that strategy was applied to the American press.

Washington lobbyists and public-relations firms working for the organization described plans to recruit influential journalists, generate “favorable coverage” and “effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public” regarding China.

Flashback: Fauci Funded Technique To Hide Evidence Of Genetic Engineering According To RFK Jr.

Four years ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made an accusation that got him shadowbanned, “fact-checked,” and dismissed as a crank: that Anthony Fauci’s NIAID had bankrolled the development of a laboratory technique whose primary utility was erasing the fingerprints of human engineering from a manipulated virus – and that the technique was then handed to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

With Fauci’s personal diaries now public, Tulsi Gabbard’s last-day document dump on the record, Ralph Baric stripped of his NIH grants and placed on leave by UNC, and Fauci himself scheduled to appear under subpoena before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee this Wednesday at 8:30 a.m., Kennedy’s remarks are worth revisiting.

Here’s what he said:

“He [Fauci] funded Ralph Baric to develop a technique called seamless ligation. And that is a technique for hiding the engineering project.”

“So, normally, when you do that kind of engineering, you can see it, and you can say, ‘That bug was created in a lab.'”

“He [Baric] developed a way of hiding all traces [of what] was developed. And he taught that to the Chinese scientists – to Shi Zhengli.”

“There is no public health [reason for this]; it is the OPPOSITE of what you would do if you are interested in public health… To teach people how to hide that only has a nefarious purpose.”

Fauci’s diary shows he fed questions to journalists, built friendships with media figures

Dr. Anthony Fauci opened up about his relationships with various media personalities in a series of controversial diary entries that put a spotlight on the former White House COVID advisor’s cozy relationship with the press. 

Fauci’s diary entries were released on Saturday by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., detailing the doctor’s role during the COVID-19 crisis through conversations with President Donald Trump, governors, world leaders, media appearances and his personal observations as the pandemic unfolded in 2020. The stunning diary entries reveal that Fauci made fast friends with members of the liberal media who were tasked with covering the pandemic. 

Fauci’s closest media ally appeared to have been CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who was mentioned 41 times in the eyebrow-raising diary. 

According to the diary, Tapper texted Fauci to mock rival cable news hosts and other doctors. On one occasion, Tapper called to check on Fauci after an appearance on his show irked Trump supporters. 

“Jake wanted to make sure the interview did not cause me any problems,” Fauci wrote on April 13, 2020. 

In July 2020, Fauci gushed that he was forming a friendship with Tapper.   

“Had dinner over Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper’s home in DC. Terrific couple. Friendship building,” Fauci wrote, according to the diary. 

Later that month, Fauci wrote that he “gave Jake some questions to ask” pediatrician Brett Giroir during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” But Tapper would later express frustration, waking Fauci up in the process. 

“Tapper woke me up at 11:23 AM (I went to bed early) furius [sic] at POTUS for tweeting about the fact that Jake severly [sic] questioned Brett Giroir on SOTU CNN show today. Jake was really pissed at the craziness of it all,” Fauci wrote.

Secret Service Agent Arrested, Charged with Five Felonies in Near-Fatal Hazing Incident

A Secret Service agent was arrested and charged with five felonies in connection with a near-fatal hazing incident.

Three men, including a Secret Service agent, were arrested in Miami for severely beating fraternity pledges.

The men beat the pledges with paddles and canes. The college and fraternity have not been identified.

The SS Agent, identified as 29-year-old Marquez Christopher Pinder, was charged with attempted manslaughter with a deadly weapon, hazing with a deadly weapon and other charges.

CBS News reported:

Three men have been arrested and charged in connection with alleged fraternity hazing that left victims hospitalized, Miami-Dade authorities said.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and Sweetwater Police Chief Sergio Diez identified the suspects as 29-year-old Marquez Christopher Pinder, 26-year-old Jared Lamar James and 29-year-old Elijah Delano Dyous.

Investigators said the alleged hazing involved prolonged and repeated beatings with canes and paddles. According to prosecutors, the victims were beaten after they failed to correctly answer questions about the fraternity.

The incidents allegedly began April 1 at an apartment in the 400 block of Southwest 183rd Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.

Pinder, James and Dyous face various counts of attempted manslaughter with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm and hazing with a deadly weapon, according to the state attorney’s office.

‘Scandalous, irrational and irresponsible’: French beekeepers’ fury at lifting of pesticides ban

Beekeepers and environmentalists in France have reacted furiously after parliament approved a bill reauthorising two banned pesticides scientists say can poison bees.

“There are no words to describe the frustration,” said Carolyn Bouguet, a beekeeper in Essonne, greater Paris. “Bee populations have already been badly compromised by climate change, new parasites and loss of habitat. And now this.”

Henri Clément, a beekeeper in the southern Lozère department and spokesperson for the French beekeeping association, UNAF, said the measure was “an absolute disaster for our sector, and for biodiversity as a whole”.

For bees, the risk was “very high mortality rates and reduced harvests”, Clément told local media. “It’s just incomprehensible these pesticides have been reauthorised. We’ve been fighting them for 30 years. It’s scandalous, irrational and irresponsible.”

The law, passed on Tuesday, allows France’s food and environmental safety agency, Anses, to grant waivers authorising the use of the pesticides acetamiprid and flupyradifurone in struggling farm sectors and under exceptional circumstances.

The use of the pesticides, allowed in the EU but banned in France, will be authorised to combat aphid-borne diseases that can ruin crops of sugar beet, apples, hazelnuts and cherries, which has led producers to claim they can no longer compete with European rivals.

Scientific studies have established that acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid with powerful neurotoxic effects, can poison bees, affecting their foraging capacity and memory. A 2024 study suggested flupyradifurone could be lethal to some honeybees.

Greenpeace France said the country’s centrist government and its rightwing allies in parliament were “trampling on science, health, the environment and the clear will of the people”, describing the legislation as “deeply concerning” and “a disgrace”.

France’s environment minister, Monique Barbut, said the legislation was “one environmental setback too many” and submitted her resignation on Wednesday, but was later persuaded to stay on after meeting President Emmanuel Macron.

Waste of the Day: Education Fraud Sweeps Nation

At Broward County Public Schools in Florida, information officer Anthony Hunter allegedly used district funds to buy $17 million worth of school supplies from a friend’s business, ignoring the competitive bidding process. In return, the friend hired Hunter and his son to work a security job and sold Hunter a house for $150,000 below market value, state prosecutors claim

Chicago Public Schools received $1 million of federal grants meant for Native American students, using an application that included more than 1,000 students of South Asian descent. The district was unable to verify how many students were actually in the program, and agreed to repay the money.

Fraud arguably hits small school districts the hardest because they have fewer budgetary resources to begin with. When Janis Bucknor, former head of Community Preparatory Academy in California, admitted to stealing $3 million from the school over five years, it amounted to one-third of all the school’s state and federal funding.

Bucknor spent $220,600 of the money on Disney vacations and also funded her internet shopping and private school tuition for her kids. She was sentenced to three years of home detention and ordered to repay the money.
