In China's Pocket

China produced the Wuhan virus. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died. Our ruling class — politicians, tech oligarchs, news media — is in China’s pocket, and has been covering for them, while using the pandemic as an excuse to extend its own power.

What price will our ruling class pay for adhering to the Chinese government? - Glenn Reynolds

My prediction: once it becomes clear that telling the truth about the origins of Covid19 will not benefit the cultural and political elite, everyone will clam up.  There may be a little law-enforcement theater put on by the DOJ for a while, but only for the purpose of puncturing the expanding balloon of public indignation. Whatever faux-investigative effort they involve themselves in will sink beneath the waves just as soon as the voter's attention wanes.

Any actual accountability for the "ruling class" will only ever originate from outside the group of popular kids who currently have their hands on the levers of power.
