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.Almost immediately, legacy media outlets and fact-checkers launched a campaign to dismiss Beaglegate as a right-wing smear or exaggeration.The Washington Post ran pieces framing the public outrage as driven by “misleading” images and a campaign by WCW while downplaying NIAID’s role. One Washington Post cover story referenced by Fauci in his diary had the title, “Fake Beagle Research Claim Deluges Fauci’s Phone Line.”FactCheck.org and others claimed Fauci’s agency had not directly funded certain specific Tunisia experiments even as documents showed NIAID grants supporting related parasite and drug studies involving the dogs.EXCLUSIVE: Media Ran a Disinformation Campaign to Protect Fauci From Criticism Over Dog Torture/*!
