Reports: According to BND, Coronavirus Did Come from Chinese Lab - Government Has Kept Files Secret for 5 Years

The German intelligence service has apparently assumed the lab theory since the beginning of the pandemic. Several media outlets report this consistently. But the German government is keeping the files under wraps.

For five years, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) has believed that coronavirus originated from a Chinese laboratory. The BND classifies the lab theory as "probable," with a certainty of "80 to 95 percent." The German government has kept the BND's findings secret since then. The virus is said to have come from the biolab in Wuhan. This is reported by NZZ, Zeit, and SZ.

To this day, it remains unclear whether the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is of natural origin or came from a laboratory. Despite intensive research, no intermediate host has been identified that naturally transmitted the pathogen from animals to humans. At the same time, controversial experiments at the Wuhan Instit

"We are Vladimir Putin's useful idiots": Le Figaro found Nate, JD Vance's first cousin and volunteer fighter in Ukraine

EXCLUSIVE - The Texan spent three years in Ukraine, including two and a half years fighting on the bloodiest fronts. He despairs of his cousin's and Donald Trump's position.

When Nate heard his cousin JD Vance attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office of the White House, he was furious. In his camper van, lost on the roads of the American West that he has been traveling since his return from Ukraine in January 2025, Nate was disappointed. Disappointed in this cousin, a few years his junior - Nate is 47 - whose integrity he has never stopped defending. "JD is a good guy, intelligent," he explains. "When he criticized aid to Ukraine, I told myself it was because he had to appeal to a certain electorate, that it was the game of politics. But what they did to Zelensky (with Donald Trump, Ed.), was an ambush of absolute bad faith," he fumes.

Carpet — a meme that emerged in early 2007, presumably on photo hosting sites like Flickr, and apparently took shape on LiveJournal. It manifests as frenzied commenting about carpets. It critiques and exposes the flaws of amateur photography, such as: shabby interiors, harsh frontal flash, acne, tracksuits, and most importantly — the obsessive tendency to photograph against a Carpet hanging on the wall or lying on the floor. A true Carpet is considered only one with Oriental or pseudo-Oriental patterns (usually having nothing to do with the East, mass-produced in textile factories during the late Soviet era). The deer-patterned carpet is especially revered and can only hang on the wall; placing it on the floor is considered terrible sacrilege.

Essence of the Meme

A Carpet hanging on the wall is considered a sign of low cultural sophistication and insufficient wealth of its owner. Typically, the wall Carpet is covered in dust and accompanies yellowed wallpaper, a 1992 GoldStar TV (remote control wrapped in

Can Europe Defend Itself?

NATO countries rely on assistance from US forces. In an emergency, this could be insufficient. What Europe would need for effective deterrence.

Key Points

• Weakness. A threat scenario for NATO is that Russia occupies parts of the Baltics in a rapid advance before the West can react.
• Deterrence. Europe's ability to defend itself is more important than ever to limit Russia's military options.
• Support. According to new, exclusive calculations, the US can only actually send about a quarter of its soldiers and weapons to Europe.
• Precaution. Therefore, Europe should invest massively in the leadership competence and combat power of its armies to effectively deter Moscow.
