Can Someone Tell Me Why There is Any Difference? 1950 - Julius and Ethel Rosenberg passed US atomic secrets to Soviet Russia. They were subsequently convicted and executed. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rosenbergs-executed 2020 - The Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department Dr. Charles Lieber and two Chinese nationals have been charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China. Lieber served as the Principal Investigator of the Lieber Research Group at Harvard University, has received more than $15,000,000 in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD).   These grants REQUIRE the disclosure of significant foreign financial conflicts of interest, including financial support from foreign governments or foreign entities. The criminal complaint against Lieber alleges that he lied to both the government and Harvard about his involvement in the Thousand Talents Plan. According to the complaint, Lieber was involved with the program from at least 2012 to 2017. His contract called for a salary as high as $50,000 a month, along with about $150,000 per year for living expenses and $1.5 million to ESTABLISH a lab at the Wuhan University of Technology. Unbeknownst to Harvard University China’s Thousand Talents Plan has been one focus of the US government’s efforts to crack down on foreign interference in research. A recent US Senate panel suggested that the program could be a means by which the Chinese government diverts US intellectual property for the state’s own benefit. (Ya think...?) Michael Lauer, a deputy director at the NIH, told lawmakers that the contracts encouraged participants to set up ‘shadow labs’ in China that REPLICATED THEIR RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! So let me get this straight... Lieber, who is getting paid handsomely by Harvard as an internationally recognized professor, decides to accept a Dept of Defense grant to do research in nanotechnology (with obvious weaponized potential since the DOD is a funder) WHILE he is being paid by the Chicoms to set up a DUPLICATE lab in Communist China with a commitment to WORK for the Chinese for part of the year doing research that the DOD is also paying him to do? Wow...  Is Lieber weaponizing viruses? No. He is the inventor and researcher of the nanotech which measures biomarkers such as weaponized viruses like Zika or CV-19.  Not only measures their presence but also their concentrations. He designs labs for the measurement of the effectiveness of bio-weaponry. https://www.vistatherapeutics.org/Technology.html All in the name of science, right Professor Lieber? You personally didn't "drop the viral bomb", you just designed the Chicom lab that made it possible.
