A further continuation of thoughts and discussions on the changing of Geo-Political powers with Ukraine actions

Ok, so the Russians make a move that they were forced into by the United States. Of course the USA knew what it was doing. Every American knows about the “Cuban Missile Crisis”.

To pretend that it doesn’t is ridiculous.

If you place, or threaten to place, nuclear weapons on the border of a major nation, you can expect CERTAINLY a series of responses.

Plan to attack Russia.

This is exactly what happened, but of course, it’s not being reported this way in the American / British “news”. According to that “news”, the Russians are taking a beating by the proud and brave Ukranians.

Russia facing more resistance than it expected!
Putin's losses now stand at 2,800 troops...
Readies 'father of all bombs'...
Hero Ukrainian soldier blows himself up to destroy bridge...
Chernobyl radiation levels rising...
US intel predicted invasion plans. Did it matter?
More than 50,000 flee in 48 hours...
Jews seek refuge in synagogues...
Europe says it has 'financial nuclear weapon'. But uncertain if it wants to use it...
SKYNEWS LIVE...

And then we have these…

Seven, eh?

So, I go on LinkedIN, and other other mainstream media, and Lordy! It’s all about the brave Ukranians fighting the evil communists. Sheech! Talk about spinning a narrative! So here, we are going to put some perspectives in place and then resume business as usual.

This is a fine meandering article hosting a wide selection of rambling thoughts and interests. Remember, don’t look at one singular issue and study it. Look at the big picture, as that is how everything is actually connected.

First, a look at a map…

Did you know that the Ukraine is the fourth-largest recipient of American equipment and weapons in the world? Imagine that.

Why? Why in Good God’s name, why?

Now, we begin with a statement that The Domain Commander made; “We are striving for little bads, so we can avoid the Big Bads”…

Social media giants will be forced to help users block trolls in new clampdown on poisonous posts

  • Users will be able to block anonymous unverified accounts in a new crackdown 
  • These new measures have been added to the upcoming Online Safety Bill
  • Individuals will be allowed to choose whether to join the verification process  

Social media users will be given new powers to control who can interact with them under a major crackdown on hate-filled internet trolls.

Platforms like Facebook and Twitter will by law have to give users the tools to block anonymous unverified accounts.

Users will also be given the option to verify themselves. The onus will be on the firms to find a suitable verification method, but it could range from taking a selfie to providing proof of a passport or driving licence.

The new measures have been added to the upcoming Online Safety Bill, which will impose a duty of care on tech companies to protect users.

However, individuals will be allowed to choose whether to join the verification process – despite calls from some campaigners to make it a requirement.

Ministers were concerned it could jeopardise the safety of vulnerable users. Online anonymity can be crucial for domestic abuse victims, activists living in authoritarian countries and young people exploring their sexuality.

The Government has also announced a measure that will force platforms to provide adult users with tools to block ‘legal but harmful content’ such as racist abuse and Covid disinformation.

This could include allowing users to turn on settings that would stop them receiving recommendations on certain topics or place sensitivity screens over that content.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said the new measures would ‘put more power in the hands’ of social media users by giving them more choice over who they communicate with.

Digital Secretary Nadine Dorries said: ‘Tech firms have a responsibility to stop anonymous trolls polluting their platforms.

‘We have listened to calls for us to strengthen our new online safety laws and are announcing new measures to put greater power in the hands of social media users themselves.

‘People will now have more control over who can contact them and be able to stop the tidal wave of hate served up to them by rogue algorithms.’

It comes after calls from MPs, footballers and celebrities to take action on internet trolls after highlighting the horrific abuse they suffered.

The Government has already announced tougher punishments for trolls, with those found guilty of the worst abuse facing up to five years in prison under the new Bill.

The latest measures will only apply to the biggest social media platforms deemed ‘category one’ such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as they pose the severest risk.

Watchdog Ofcom will be given the power to fine them up to 10 per cent of annual global turnover for any breach or even block the sites from being used in the UK.

A DCMS spokesman said of the new measures: ‘While this will not prevent anonymous trolls posting abusive content in the first place – providing it is legal and does not contravene the platform’s terms and conditions – it will stop victims being exposed to it and give them more control over their online experience.’

The Bill will also force social media giants to remove illegal content such as child sexual abuse imagery, the promotion of suicide, hate crimes and incitement to terrorism.

But there is a growing list of toxic content and behaviour on social media which falls below the threshold of a criminal offence which still causes significant harm.

The spokesman added: ‘Much of this is already expressly forbidden in social networks’ terms and conditions, but too often it is allowed to stay up.’ Firms will have to make tools available that will allow users to block this on news feeds.

Three ways to crack down on hate

New measures added to the Online Safety Bill today will force social media giants like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to ensure users can:

VERIFY THEMSELVES

Users must be given the option of verification. It will be up to the platforms what methods they use, but this could range from uploading a selfie to match their profile picture or providing proof of Government-issued ID like a passport.

BAR ANONYMOUS TROLLS

Tools must be provided to enable individuals to block other users who choose to remain anonymous. These could include ticking a box within settings that allows direct messages or replies to posts to be sent only by verified accounts.

FILTER HARMFUL CONTENT

Users must also be given a way to block content that falls below the criminal threshold but still causes significant harm, such as racist abuse. Tools could include allowing users to alter settings so the site does not recommend certain topics or placing sensitivity screens over such content.

And for MM here…

I am SERIOUSLY considering making everyone apply to comment. I have to verify their email, and I am considering interviewing everyone via skype as well. This should seriously, seriously CUT down on trolls.

And don’t give me that “free speech” speil. There is no “free speech” in MM land. You join a community, and we police that community. If you disfunctional, or sociopathic, we kill you off.

It’s really simple.

Here, we operate like the social clubs of yore. Like the “Polish Falcons”, “The Elks”, “The grand woodsmen”, and others. You apply to join, and you pay membership dues. And the community polices itself.

Why community? Well this is why…

About the capturing or destruction of equipment…

This is war, and it is in flux. There are going to be losses on all sides. Whether one side recaptures this, or shoots down that, has no meaning. The end result is what happens when the dust settles.

However, there are those that are trying to keep score. As if war is a tabulated war game. Here is a decent enough site in a flood of websites.

Keep in mind, though, that much of the digital evidence you see online is faked by amateurs. From Gizmodo:

Gizmodo has found at least ten viral photos and videos currently being spread on social media that are completely fake. In some cases, the videos and photos are years old. In others, the images are clearly not from Ukraine. There are even two examples of videos on Twitter today that are actually from war-themed video games.

Then, quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Neiman Labs has a list of resources for following the war.

But it hilariously lists Bellingcat, the Atlantic Council’s cut-out to the Intertubes, which is a lot like putting the American Council of Pork Producers in charge of censoring fact-checking information on swine fever.

Finally, some common sense suggestions:

Russian operation in the Ukraine – end of day 2

Today was only day two of the Russian military operation.  And yet, what a day it was!!!

First, a quick update on the progress of Russian forces.  Here is a bulletpoint summary for today:

  • Kherson: liberated
  • Nikolaev: fighting taking pace in outskirts
  • Konotop: taken by Russians
  • Chernigov: blocked by all sides by Russian forces
  • Melitopol: surrounded
  • Mariupol: is under attack, street fighting
  • Severodonetsk: under attack
  • Kharkov: very heavy mopping up operation
  • Suma: mopping up operations
  • Kiev: blocked from the West and under attack, the authorities are distributing weapons
  • Gostomel airport has been captured by Russian forces
  • Zaporozhie: Russian forces expected there tomorrow
  • A land corridor from Crimea to Russia should be opened by tomorrow.
  • Odessa: big question mark – so far, not Russian attacks reported (that I know of!)

 

Now about Donetsk and Lugansk:

  • Both cities are still under fire, and that goes to show that the advance of the LDNR forces has been slow, which is hardly surprising considering that the Ukronazis had 7 years to prepare their defenses.  Still, things ARE getting better.  Not only that, but the LDNR air defenses shot down a Ukie Tochka-U missile aimed at Donetsk.  So it sure looks like the long awaited A2/AA “protective cupola” is being extended over the LDNR.
  • That being said, the LDNR forces did break through in at least two directions today, which means that the life left for the Ukie artillery shelling the LDNR will soon come to an end.

But that does not really tell the full story.  So I will try to clarify things a little.

A typical battalion has about 400-600 men, depending on the type.  Let’s also assume that that battalion has 3-4 companies with APCs, a mortar battery, an air defense platoon, an automatic grenade launcher platoon, a signal platoon, supply platoon, and a few smaller more specialized subunits.  If that battalion loses its APCs it has basically lost its most important source of firepower.  If its communications are down (destroyed or jammed), then that battalion cannot operate as part of a bigger force and if its supply routes are cut, then its ability to operate (more or fire) will rapidly dwindle down.  So, on paper this battalion will remain combat capable, but in reality it will have broken up and cannot be considered a truly combat capable battalion anymore.

So, to destroy/incapacitate a battalion only a few precision strikes are needed.  Such strikes though, will leave most of the soldiers alive and quite capable of resistance, but not as a battalion anymore, but more like a typical infantry company or even squads armed with small arms, machine guns, PRG, mines, etc..  They cannot maneuver very much, but they can conduct small hit and run operations against the enemy force.  Which means that specialized infantry/police forces must now be send to find these small forces and deal with them in potentially bloody mopping up operations.

Of course, rather than a few precision strikes, it is much more effective to strike the entire battalion with, say, MLRS strikes which will not only destroy most of the hardware, but which will kill most of the soldiers, especially if they did not prepare and seek cover.  But that means 400-500 dead in one single strike.  That is if this battalion is somewhere in the steppe.  But if it is in downtown Mariupol such a strike will inevitably result in even more scores of dead civilians, especially since the Ukies are very careful to always position their artillery near or even on top of buildings.

Does Russia want that?

Not if there is ANY other option left.

Please keep in mind that Russia has the reconnaissance-fire complexes needed obliterate an entire battalion anywhere in the eastern Ukraine in one single salvo.  They have deliberately NOT done so today (with one possible exception during the very heavy battle for the Gostomel airport, which was taken by Russian special forces and is now secured as a safe bridgehead for Russian Military-Transport aviation right next to Kiev).

Something similar can be seen in urban offensive operations.  It is one thing to get to a city or town’s outskirts, and quite another to penetrate inside the city or town.  If the city is lightly defended by small arms fire, that is one thing, but if the city is well defended, in specially engineered defensive circles, with minefield, IEDs, very strong building used as command posts and if the city’s houses and basements have been prepared by combat engineers, then it is much harder to take.  Again, one option is to send it dedicated urban combat groups while the other is flatten any building which is used by the defenders as a fortress.

The Russian forces have the means to flatten any building anywhere in the Ukraine, including by cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, MLRS with cluster or fuel-air munition or by using howitzers, heavy mortars and even the TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy flamethrower multi-barrel rocket launch systems.

But, again, that can only be done at a major cost in human lives.  Russians won’t hesitate to obliterate some Nazi deathsquads, but to massacre hundreds of regular Ukrainians, irrespective of their personal views, is only and truly a last resort option.

There is a lot of evidence that the Russian forces have moved into the outskirts of many Ukrainian towns, including Kiev, Mariupol and others.  Here is how Russian military practice works:

  • First, approach and try to block or surrender the city
  • Second, suppress the main enemy firing positions
  • Third, make sure that the city is truly blocked (except for a few special corridors, see below)
  • Fourth, hold your position and reconnoiter the outermost enemy lines (by fire when appropriate)
  • Fifth, send in special reconnaissance groups inside the city to observe and coordinate attacks
  • Sixth, once the city is surrounded/blocked and once you get a pretty decent picture of what is inside you take the next decisions which might include any of the following: open corridors for civilians to flee and for military personnel to surrender and cross over, determine the main axes of attack and begin slowly grinding down the opposition with heavy firepower (artillery, air, missiles).
  • Seventh, once the city’s defenses have been sufficiently disorganized, begin a house to house mopping up operation by specialized forces.

Before I go further, I want to remind you that during WWII the Soviet Military freed a whopping 1’200 (one thousand two hundred!) cities from the Nazi forces.  Russians know how to do this better than anybody else.

Furthermore, during both Chechen wars, the Russians always managed to take Grozny, which was extremely heavily fortified and defended by some of the toughest fighters on the planet in spite of the fact that at that time the Russian army was it its lowest and badly disorganized, especially during the first Chechen war!  But even in the first Chechen, the Russian did seize Grozny, twice, admittedly a huge cost (on both sides), but they did.

That was almost three decades ago.

Speaking of the Chechen war, in the first one the Russian military lost a big part of an entire brigade which had quickly entered the city, moved into the city center only to find itself surrounded and cut off, with terrible communications, quasi-non existing reconnaissance capabilities.  That debacle left a very painful memory in the Russian collective memory and if somebody was expecting Russian APCs to reach the Mariupol or Kharkov at full speed with flags and screams of “hurrah!” – they don’t understand what is taking place: the (truly criminal) mistake made by Eltin’s generals during that first Chechen war will never be repeated by modern Russian commanders.

Any defeat is always a terrible tragedy, the only and best thing anybody can do after a defeat is to understand why and how it happened, and never repeat such a (criminal) mistake again.

That is the true reason why today Russians stopped on the outskirts of so many cities.

The bottom line is this.  These are things which the Russians are trying to achieve

  • Destroy the Ukie armed forces but kill the absolute minimum number of Ukrainian soldiers (real Nazi will probably be destroyed no questions asked).  Why?  Because these surviving Ukrainian soldiers and officers are the ones who will play the main role in finally cleaning the Ukraine from the Nazi scum.
  • Get to the outskirts of as many major Ukrainian cities and gradually begin the steps I outlined above.
  • Convince civilians to flee and convince Ukrainian solders to lay down arms
  • Delay any Russian penetration inside the cities until the moment is “just right” (not too early, not too late)

Why?

Because Russia has ZERO intention of occupying or, even less so, rebuild or police the Ukraine, that’s why.  The LDNR (in its legal borders) is as far as the Russians will go (with only a few possible exceptions).

The Kremlin decided that the goal of the operation was to 1) disarm and 2) to denazify the Ukraine.  As soon as these goals are reached, the Russian want to get the hell out of the Ukraine and back into the LDNR and let the Ukrainians fight their own anti-Nazi civil war.  That means that:

  • The Russians now must identify reasonable Ukrainian commanders and/or politicians to negotiate with
  • That Russia needs to offer the leftover Ukrainian ground forces the same deal which the Ukrainian forces which were tasked with the control of the Chernobyl nuclear planet were given today by the Russian forces: let’s secure this facility together and keep it secure together, with no combats of any kind.   The Ukrainians gladly accepted, by the way, and now they are jointly patrolling area.
  • The Russian might also try something which worked well in Chechnia: tell the local town/city authorities that if they guarantee that not a single bullet will be fire from that town/city not a single Russian bullet will fly back and not a single Russian solider will enter the city, unless accompanied by locals and in order to ascertain the reality of the situation.  But if a city is declared “open and peaceful” and then is used to attack Russian forces, it will be simply flattened with artillery.  I call that the “Shamanov ultimatum” and, after a few false starts (and subsequently flattened towns) it worked very well.

The crucial factor is this: during the two Chechen wars or during 08.08.08 the Russians never saw the local people as their enemy and, if anything, they were hoping that the locals would start their own “housecleaning operation” which was a bad joke in the first Chechen war, but worked very well in the second Chechen war, and failed again during 08.08.08.

In military/combat terms the Ukies are much more similar to the Georgians than to the Chechens, so there is a good chance Russia might have to leave unconditionally and let the locals slug it at between each other for as much as they want (which is what Russia did in 08.08.08 even though Russia Airborne units were at the outskirts of Tbilissi).

Which brings me to THE QUESTION for tomorrow: how will the Ukrainian soldiers and civilians behave?

Right now, Ukrainian losses have been minimal (considering the undeniable fact that this is a fullscale strategic offensive), the Russian forces have reached their positions on the outskirts of many towns and tomorrow or the day after will be “decision time”.

I hope and pray that Russian and Ukrainian soldiers find a common language in as many locations as possible.  Those who will chose a heroic stance (hardcore Nazis mostly) will be offered the possibility to die for their ideas.

In that context, “Ze” released a video in which he offered to negotiate directly and unconditionally, even about neutrality and any other topic.  The Russian reply was simple and to the point:

  • Russia is immediately ready to start negotiations after the Armed Forces of Ukraine lay down their arms.
  • The Ukraine must be demilitarized and declared neutral.
  • The Ukraine must be denazified.
  • Russia will no longer allow the Nazis to rule in Ukraine.  Ever.

After that reply, “Ze” and his aides stopped communicating.

I personally doubt that he has any control over anything.  And the fact that a huge amount of weapons has been distributed to whomever wanted one today in Kiev shows that “Ze”‘s handlers have given him the order to make the biggest possible mess and bloodbath before he is evacuated.

This is very sad, and utterly immoral, but there is nothing Russia can do about that: the Ukraine will be flooded by well armed criminals gangs and Nazi insurgents for years to come.

Putin today made a speech in which he suggested that Russia’s beef was only with the Nazis and their deathsquads but that Russia would seek to cooperate with the Ukrainian armed forces (well, what’s left of them, really) should they overthrow the Nazis.  See his full message here.

So, today was “we get to our staging positions” day.

So what did not happen (yet)?

  • The operational envelopment of the Ukrainian forces along the LOC with the LDNR forces has not happened yet, there is still a corridor by which these forces can withdraw.  The Russian could have shut it down already “by maneuver by fire” but, apparently, they want to keep it open for a little longer.
  • The Russian Black Sea fleet has not engaged in any major combat activities (that I know off, so take that with a grain of salt).

Will that happen tomorrow?  Maybe, it all really depends on whether the regular Ukrainian units will agree to surrender or whether they will fight to their last solider.  It also depends on how the Ukrainian civilians will react at the sight of approaching Russian forces.

So what to look for tomorrow?

  • A further penetration of Russian forces deeper inside Ukie territory, with cities bypassed.
  • The gradual penetration of Russian forces into blocked/surrounded cities
  • The intervention of the Black Sea Fleet in combat operations (with maybe Odessa as a strategic target, not necessarily to take, but at least to threaten and weaken).
  • A western false flag (some “Russian atrocity” no doubt)

One more thing:

Western PSYOPs are in “max attack mode” and they are being helped by Russian 5th columnist websites.  For example, I was trying to find a halfway decent map of the combat operations today, and ALL the Russian websites which offered such maps were hardcore 5th element.  Okay, I get it – 5th columnists don’t need any real facts to make their maps, while the real patriots are afraid of both getting it wrong and leaking info.  Still, I remember during the first two wars in the Donbass, there were some pretty decent maps available out there.

Today I see such zero.  If anybody can recommend semi-decent military maps of the combat operations I would be most grateful.

The fact that the Russian 5th column is allowed to continue to operate the way it does really frustrates me.  Could the Kremlin not tell them to “zip it” at least during active combat operations?

I did not even bother checking the output of the 6th column today, I fully expect it to be indistinguishable from the output of the 5th, and so I have no interest in it.

What is certain are two things: the joint efforts 5th and 6th column efforts have had some success, especially in locations where Putin his hated and pro-western views more common than in most of Russia.  The best poll I have seen says “Three-quarters of the respondents rather support the decision of the President of Russia to recognize the independent Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (73%), rather do not support – 16%, and every tenth Russian found it difficult to answer (11%). The majority of Russians – 78% – expressed support for the President’s decision to sign an agreement on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance between Russia and the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Rather, 14% of respondents do not support this decision“.  Putin personal rating is at 67,2%. 

My guesstimate that no more than  5% of Russian support the 5th column and not more than 15% support the 6th column. Toss in another 5-10% which is afraid and on the fence. This is only a guess following my readings of the Russian social media, not a precise figure or even one based on serious research!

Next, the main thesis of US PSYOPs today was “the Russian movement is very slow, much slower than expected” hinting at some formidable Ukrainian defense operations.  I hope that while I did not post any maps today, the above will tell you all you need to know to identify this thesis for what it is: western information operations, nothing more.  The problem is that there is no “smartphone confirmation” of any of that, and by tomorrow I expect the main western PSYOPs thesis to change from “no/slow advance” to “Russian atrocities” (the smartphone coverage for that will, of course, be provided by the western press corps).

So, in conclusion, and once more – the “fog of war” is real, and to read through it takes both time and experience.  By tomorrow, I only expect this “fog of war” (powerfully augmented by PSYOPs) to drown us all in all sorts of nonsense, rumors and wild claims.  Again, please don’t post panicked questions such as “is it true that the Ukrainian forces are already on the Red Square in Moscow” or something equally insipid.

Two quick ones just in, then I need to crash (sorry, I am exhausted).

The US decided to impose personal sanctions personally on Putin (and others) which will result in a full termination of any diplomatic relations (as Russians warned the US many times).  Note: such sanctions are entirely symbolic but maximally offensive, so a full break with Russia is what the US wants.

Twelve thousand Chechens will be sent to the LDNR if needed,  so promised Ramzan Kadyrov, the President of Chechnia.  Actually, I think that this is a very good idea, like in Syria, the Chechens should get involved in policing and public security operations.  FYI – when the “toughest” and “NATO trained and equipped” Georgian brigade heard that the Chechen battalion Vostok was approaching, they all ran abandoning all their fancy (and secret) equipment.  Russia then organized exhibits of all that NATO kit.

Today, the LDNR authorities report the seizure of large Ukie weapons depots including the famous Javelins and NLAWs.  This is all very good news.

Moscow: War in Ukraine started 8 years ago, Russia is now ending it

RT from HERE

Russia’s Foreign Ministry says it wants to end the 8-year bloodbath in Donbass that both Ukraine and the West turned a blind eye to.

The West spent eight years ignoring the “sea of blood” in Donbass while arming Ukraine, and now claims Moscow is the aggressor when it stepped in to end the conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RT on Thursday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday, claiming it was necessary to “demilitarize and de-nazify” the neighbor. Kiev accused Russia of aggression, while the US, EU and NATO have called it an “unprovoked” invasion. Moscow insists this is not the case.

In announcing the operation, Putin said the “main objective is to stop the escalation of the war that’s been going on for eight years, and to stop the war,” Zakharova told RT in an exclusive interview.

“Russia did not commit aggression of any kind,” Zakharova insisted. “This did not start yesterday. There’s a sea of blood that’s appeared over the past 8 years,” she added, referring to the conflict in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which Russia on Monday recognized as independent states.

The main aim is to stop the escalation of the war that's been going on for eight years, to stop this war

Donetsk and Lugansk broke away from Ukraine in 2014, after the West-backed coup ousted the democratically elected government in Kiev. Zakharova noted that the two self-proclaimed republics held a referendum eight years ago, saying they did not want to remain in Ukraine, but both Moscow and the West rejected this and tried to put the “broken” country back together.

When asked about President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine wanted peace, Zakharova wondered why Ukraine was arming itself and refusing to negotiate with the Donbass.

“If Ukraine wanted peace, why did they get all these weapons” from all over the world, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman told RT, adding, “It was clear that these were offensive weapons.  Who were they fighting? Their own people in southeast Ukraine, and spoke often about seizing Crimea.”

The peninsula voted to rejoin Russia in March 2014, but Ukraine and its Western backers have refused to recognize this, calling it an “annexation.”

Zakharova also noted that the top Ukrainian officials have openly and publicly brought up the idea of obtaining nuclear weapons in recent weeks, pointing out this was a fact and not something claimed by Russian intelligence.

Divisions in Ukraine go beyond Donetsk and Lugansk, Zakharova added, accusing armed groups with Nazi-era symbols – such as the notorious Azov Battalion – of having influence over much of the country.

For years, she said, Western media so concerned over human rights in places like South Sudan and Myanmar kept silent on all this, ignoring that more than 13,000 people have died in the Donbass – many of them civilians. While Russia provided them with humanitarian aid, Kiev besieged them by cutting off trade, finance, and even utilities. Zakharova noted that the water canal towards Crimea is now once again operational after Ukraine “criminally” shut it off years ago.

THE BODY LANGUAGE OF THE SPEECH — PUTIN HAS REPUDIATED LENIN, STALIN, GORBACHEV, YELTSIN & MOBILIZED RUSSIA’S DEFENCE AGAINST US ATTACK AS NEVER BEFORE

From HERE.

by John Helmer, Moscow
@bears_with

Not in his entire life has President Vladimir Putin made a speech like Monday’s Donbass address to the Russian people.

Nor has he ever named the Americans to be Russia’s national enemy in such unequivocal Russian terms – American promises worthless, American intentions deadly, American speeches lies, American actions intimidation, extortion, blackmail.

“So I want to ask”, Putin said: “why, why all this, for what? Okay, you don’t want to see us as a friend and ally, but why make us an enemy? There is only one answer: it’s not about our political regime, it’s not about anything else, they just don’t need such a large independent country as Russia. That’s the answer to all the questions. This is the source of traditional American policy towards Russia.”

“The pretext for another sanctions attack will always be found or simply fabricated, regardless of the situation in Ukraine. There is only one goal – to restrain the development of Russia. And they will do it as they did before, even without any formal pretext at all, just because we are and will never give up our sovereignty, national interests and our values.”

Unlike the most famous of English and American mobilization speeches against French, German and Confederate enemies – King Henry’s Agincourt, Winston Churchill’s Dunkirk, and Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg speeches – Putin didn’t wave his arms or move significantly his head, neck, shoulders, or right hand.  Putin’s right hand is the operational one.

Watch and listen. The stillness of the body language, the pauses for breathing, the speech pitch, pace and modulation – these mean to all Russians: Do or die — now we do for ourselves or else the Americans will kill us.

Putin spoke for 55 minutes, 48 seconds – Shakespeare’s Henry V spoke for just over two minutes; Lincoln for less than that; Churchill for 20 minutes.

The Pentagon has been using body language and voice techniques to spy on Putin for years. Timothy Colton, the US Naval War College agent doubling as a Harvard professor, was exposed in 2015 after several years of paid secret work; read the details here.

Colton has also been the biographer of Boris Yeltsin, a work celebrated as a “masterpiece”  by the US officials who once controlled Yeltsin. Yeltsin was unnamed in Putin’s speech, but all Russian listeners understand that he was meant in Putin’s accusations of “historic, strategic mistakes”, “pandering to the ambitions of the nationalist elites”; “injustices, lies and outright pillage.”

“Against the backdrop of the superficial and populist rhetoric about democracy and a bright future based either on a market or a planned economy, but amid a true impoverishment of people and widespread shortages, no one among the powers that be was thinking about the inevitable tragic consequences for the country… The collapse of the historical Russia known as the USSR is on their conscience.” For “market” Putin means the Yeltsin group, the two ranking officials who belong to it – Anatoly Chubais and Alexei Kudrin — are still alive, along with the oligarchs they created. For “planned economy” Putin refers to Mikhail Gorbachev whom he has condemned as well. For “conscience” Putin means hypocrisy.

The qualifier: “Of course, we cannot change past events, but we must at least admit them openly and honestly, without any reservations or politicking. Personally, I can add that no political factors, however impressive or profitable they may seem at any given moment, can or may be used as the fundamental principles of statehood. I am not trying to put the blame on anyone.”

Analysis of Putin’s body language and verbal cues on behalf of the secret services by Colton and his colleagues has not discouraged the hospitality which has been shown to Colton by the Valdai Club, the Kremlin-financed platform.  The reason Putin has just announced openly. For the traditional American reason the Russian command believes Colton’s capacity to threaten is limited by his incapacity to comprehend.

Count Putin’s head, neck, and shoulder movements and measure them against the vertical and horizontal axes. Head movements left and right are restricted within 5 degrees of the vertical;  there is almost no kinesis of the head forward or back; no neck rotation;  and apart from a couple of left shrugs, Putin’s shoulders remain immobile and at rest on the horizontal for all 55 minutes. This is an unusually long time.

Movement psychologists diagnose these features as indicating on the one hand a combination of internal control and confidence in what is being said; on the other hand, the commitment to reassure the listener.

Putin does not stumble in speech, mispronounce or misread his teleprompter lines. Speaking without a glass of water for an hour, he clears his throat very rarely. His breathing intakes are short, regular, and without the diaphragmatic discipline of the Stanislavsky stage method; in short, natural. The pitch and modulation of his voice remain steady without many peaks of emphasis or emotion. But the president does something he has exhibited very rarely — he breathes out in audible sighs. This is a display of regret, sadness. For the Russian audience this is attractive because it is human.

For his emphases Putin employs as few of his moving parts as he can. This signifies a high degree of self-control without nervousness. Instead, he uses his hands, the right more than the left, to anchor his body. When he wants to underline a verbal point, there is no agitation of the arms nor tension in the fingers on the table. His gestures – either single-handed or double-handed – illustrate the military threats Putin is discussing from the US, the NATO alliance, and from Ukrainian territory.

Left: “a truly fatal document, the so-called ethnic policy of the party in modern conditions”. 2nd from left: “blackmailing the West to secure preferences by claiming that otherwise Russia would have a bigger influence in Ukraine”. 3rd from left: “we got five waves of NATO enlargement one after another….” 4th from left: “It’s called, rightly, ‘the knife to the throat’”. Right: “they are trying to blackmail us, again threatening us with sanctions, which, by the way, they will still introduce as Russia’s sovereignty strengthens”.

The last time the United States faced an enemy as calm, unmoving, disciplined, and confident was in the Vietnam War. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and deputy Victoria Nuland were less than eight years old at the time; National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had not been born.

Oh, and speaking about Taiwan…

And about China’s defenses regarding Taiwan…

How community works

This is what happens inside of China. It is a nation that values community, and that does not tolerate social misfits. And Trolls are mentally ill social misfits. That’s WHY they hide their true names, faces, appearance, and location.

Then (supposedly) hidden they cause saddness, interruptions and sow disgust.

This is unaccceptable inside of China, and China is very strict about putting these misfits out of society. Instead they provide them with meaningful labor, in well structured environments where their social skills are allowed to gorw and mature until one day then can return back into that community.

Community. Without it, you are just a loney, solitary misfit.

Chicken a la King

When was the last time you ate this delicious dish?

My guess is that you must have eaten at least 300 buckets of KFC chicken since then. So much, that you (and the rest of society) has forgotten that there as so many ways to cook chicken, and deep frying it is only one such way.

Chicken a la King took the United States by storm in the middle of the 20th century. But if you try to find it on a dinner menu these days, you probably won’t have much luck.

By embracing this dish, featuring cubed chicken with a cream sauce served over your favorite grain (rice, noodles or bread), you’ll get to taste what made this chicken recipe such a classic and maybe even discover your next favorite meal.

Get the recipe from Taste and Tell.

Russian bear wants justice

by Batko Milacic

Despite possible sanctions and their hard-hitting economic consequences, the hunted Russian bear has got out of the den and is going after the hunters. Until recently, Russians, Ukrainians, and Europeans believed that there would be no war.

What we see now, however, is a full-scale Russian intervention and quite a successful one too. Where are the Russian troops going, and most importantly, why? And where will they stop?

Strengthened since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia was quite content with its new status of a leading regional power, and only verbally recalled its glorious imperial past. During the early 2000s, Russia even mulled the possibility of integrating into NATO and the EU, only to see its natural and legitimate interests repeatedly and shamelessly ignored. Millions of Russian-speakers living in the post-Soviet republics were deprived of their right to use their native language, while the Baltic countries and Ukraine profited from the transit of gas, oil, and raw materials. There was even a new “policy of gas pipelines,” when Russia was pressured into make concessions in exchange for being allowed to build a gas pipeline or simply put a stop to the syphoning off of its pipeline gas.

In fact, a resurgent Russia was gradually being presented as a “potential enemy” for the sake of reiterating NATO’s role as a defender against the imagined Russian threat. All this resulted in the 2013 events in Ukraine where nationalists came to power not without outside help, flatly refusing to safeguard the interests of the country’s Russian-speaking population, primarily in eastern Ukraine. Facing the risk of losing its naval base in Sevastopol (existing there since the 18th century) and wishing to protect the Russian-speaking people living in Ukraine, Russia, with the full support of the local population, re-absorbed Crimea and supported the separatists of Donbass. This was followed by Kiev’s ban on the use of the Russian language in the country (not entirely successful, though, since it was the main spoken language of Ukraine) and police persecution of those who advocated a dialogue with Moscow. In its effort to support Ukraine, the West introduced a series of anti-Russian sanctions, which seriously damaged the Russian economy. Still, for the past eight years, Russia was ready for dialogue. In exchange for autonomy for Russian-speakers and guarantees of non-deployment of a NATO infrastructure in eastern Ukraine, Moscow was prepared to roll back its support for the separatists and, possibly, even hold a new referendum in Crimea on its reunification with Russia.

However, during all these eight years, people continued to die along the disengagement line in Donbass, separating Kiev’s armed forces and the separatists (at the rate of more than 100 a year). Meanwhile, Russia was officially branded by Kiev as an “aggressor,” and those in power in Ukraine started to busily prepare for a big war, demanding military and financial assistance from the EU and Washington. And while President Zelensky’s predecessor, the millionaire Petro Poroshenko, was still able to maintain a dialogue with Moscow with the help of the oligarchs, the current president, who came to power on the strength of promises to seek peace and reconciliation, was trying hard to enter NATO and was threatening Russia with missiles deployed near Chernigov (750 km from Moscow). As for the Kremlin, it has spent the past six months trying to negotiate with Brussels, Washington and Zelensky himself. All that Putin was asking for were security guarantees for Russia. In fact, Moscow never really threatened Ukraine but was still being systematically pushed towards a military solution.

It should be noted that prior to the intervention, Putin explained in great detail to his compatriots what was going on, recalling how the borders of the Soviet republics had been cut and how Russian-speaking territories had been handed over to Ukraine. He also made it clear that one cannot talk about a violation of international law after the invasion of Iraq, the bombing of Serbia, the recognition of Kosovo and NATO’s move to the Russian borders.

Let’s be honest: a bear sleeping peacefully in its den was smoked out of there by being poked with a stick, and now they are wondering why it is chasing those who did that. Moscow has been pushed into a corner and is now demonstrating its strength and standing up for its interests. Now Putin will at best be satisfied with a change of guard in Kiev, and at worst, Ukraine as a state will disappear from the map of Europe. Is it possible to justify an aggression that has been provoked for a long time? This is a matter of a lengthy discussion. One thing is clear: 20 years ago, Russia could and wanted to join NATO and united Europe. However, the latter chose to make Russia an enemy…

Pick a side

I have recounted how various “experts” are advising Washington DC to sanction China along with Russia. They argue that since the USA controls the money supply and debt that countries would “of course” choose America over China. I argue otherwise. Where are people going to get things?

And concerning China…

A reminder that China DOES NOT PLAY

Like Russia, China has a ferocious military.  Military training starts in first grade, however, certain kindergarden schools also start the tykes early as well. Marching, rules of organization are taught in first grade. Third grade you have field stripping of firearms, small arms training, and mortar fire.

China has a population of merit driven, determined soldiers of 1.6 billion people. Someone should slap the American neocons ont he side of the head and remind them that both China and Russia are decendents of Genghis Khan.

Day 2 of the Russian operation in the Ukraine

Today is a major day in the Russian military operation.  Why?

Because Russian forces are now on the outskirts of many major Ukrainian cities.  If yesterday was “standoff weapons” day, today is the first day when Russian forces can now begin to degrade Ukrainian artillery dispositions, engage Ukie armor and break through Ukrainian fortifications.  Today is also the last day for US PSYOPs to try to present a counter-narrative (Ukies heroically resisting, Russian dying in huge numbers, effective counter-attacks, etc.).

Yet we live in the smartphone with camera era and picture like this one tell the full story:

What you see in this picture are immense traffic jams of folks fleeing not Mariupol or Kramatorsk, but Kiev, the capital.

Here is a quick machine translated news update from Col. Cassad:

1. LDNR – the positional nature of the fighting remains, with attempts by the LDNR armies to advance to the borders of the territories occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

2. The southern direction – the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation retained control over the bridge over the Dnieper at Kherson, repulsing attempts of counterattacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.. Fighting in the Antonovsky Bridge area continues.

A New Kakhovka is also being held. Melitopol was taken this morning and the advance towards Berdyansk began.

3. Kharkiv direction – fighting continues on the near approaches to Kharkov. Both sides are suffering losses in people and equipment.

4. Sumy direction – the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took Putivl and passing through Sumy (the battle at the airport continued there today), advanced to Konotop, surrounding the city. Today, attempts to take Akhtyrka continued in order to reach Kharkov from the west. There are Russian roadblocks on the Sumy-Kiev highway. There is an advance to Kiev and Chernihiv. (The APU repelled the attack of the Russian Armed Forces in the Chernihiv direction).

5. Kiev – Gostomel airfield is held by paratroopers. The APU could not dislodge them from there. This morning, tank columns of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation broke through to the near approaches to Kiev and are close to establishing direct communication with the landing. The AFU is preparing a counterattack, stating that another landing will be thrown out in the Gostomel area today. The Pentagon says that Kiev will fall in the coming days. After 10 o’clock shooting was heard in the city. Also, according to the statement of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the landing was thrown to the west of Zhytomyr. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively undermining bridges on the approaches, trying to slow down the advance of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,

6. In the morning, strikes continued on military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine throughout the territory of Ukraine. A Su-27 of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down over Kiev – according to one version by the Russian air defense system, according to another – by the Ukrainian ones. The downed “Caliber” fell on a residential building in Kiev, but there were no casualties. During the shelling of Gorlovka, a school was hit – 2 teachers were killed.

7. The AFU launched a missile attack on the Millerovo airfield on the territory of the Russian Federation. Damage is reported at the airfield, but there are no losses in aircraft.

Yeah. It’s pretty much like this. Only, her house is not nearly as messy and cluttered up as mine. You know, having young kids is a real way to “decorate” your home. Video

Chinese Experts Uncover Details of NSAs Equation Group’s Bvp47 Covert Hacking Tool

It’s a tad too technical, on my side. You all can skim over the article if you want. Essentially, China’s AI systems detected the behavior of the USA’s NSA hacking tool. It mapped it out, and then algorithims figured it all out. The part that is NOT reported in this article is that the Chinese were able to do so as the enire system is transparent. It’s like trying to find a glass stature submerged in ice cube water.

Researchers from China’s Pangu Lab have disclosed details of a “top-tier” backdoor put to use by the Equation Group, an advanced persistent threat (APT) with alleged ties to the cyber-warfare intelligence-gathering unit of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).

Dubbed “Bvp47” owing to numerous references to the string “Bvp” and the numerical value “0x47” used in the encryption algorithm, the backdoor was extracted from Linux systems “during an in-depth forensic investigation of a host in a key domestic department” in 2013.

The defense research group codenamed the attacks involving the deployment of Bvp47 “Operation Telescreen,” with the implant featuring an “advanced covert channel behavior based on TCP SYN packets, code obfuscation, system hiding, and self-destruction design.”

Bvp47 is said to have been used on more than 287 targets in the academia, economic development, military, science, and telecom sectors located in 45 countries, mainly in China, Korea, Japan, Germany, Spain, India, and Mexico, all the while going largely undetected for over a decade.

The elusive backdoor is also equipped with a remote control function that’s protected using an encryption algorithm, activating which requires the attacker’s private key – something the researchers said they found in the leaks published by the Shadow Brokers hacker group in 2016.

Pangu Lab is a research project of Pangu Team, which has a history of jailbreaking Apple iPhones dating all the way back to 2014. At the Tianfu Cup hacking contest last year, the white hat hacking team demonstrated several security flaws that allowed for remotely jailbreaking a fully patched iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 15.

The Shadow Brokers leaks

Equation Group, designated as the “crown creator of cyber espionage” by Russian security firm Kaspersky, is the name assigned to a sophisticated adversary that’s been active since at least 2001 and has used previously undisclosed zero-day exploits to “infect victims, retrieve data and hide activity in an outstandingly professional way,” some of which were later incorporated into Stuxnet.

The attacks have targeted a variety of sectors in no less than 42 countries, counting governments, telecom, aerospace, energy, nuclear research, oil and gas, military, nanotechnology, Islamic activists and scholars, media, transportation, financial institutions, and companies developing encryption technologies.

The group is believed to be linked to the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit, while intrusion activities pertaining to a second collective known as Longhorn (aka The Lamberts) have been attributed to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Equation Group’s malware toolset became public knowledge in 2016 when a group calling itself the Shadow Brokers leaked the entire tranche of exploits used by the elite hacking team, with Kaspersky uncovering code-level similarities between the stolen files and that of samples identified as used by the threat actor.

Bvp47 as a covert backdoor

The incident analyzed by Pangu Lab comprises two internally compromised servers, an email and an enterprise server named V1 and V2 respectively, and an external domain (identified as A), sporting a novel two-way communication mechanism to exfiltrate sensitive data from the systems.

“There is abnormal communication between external host A and the V1 server,” the researchers said. “Specifically, A first sends a SYN packet with a 264-byte payload to port 80 of the V1 server, and then the V1 server immediately initiates an external connection to the high-end port of the A machine and maintains a large amount of exchange data.”

Simultaneously, V1 connects to V2 via the SMB service to perform a number of operations, including logging in to the latter with an administrator account, trying to open terminal services, enumerating directories, and executing PowerShell scripts through scheduled tasks.

V2, for its part, also connects to V1 to retrieve a PowerShell script and an encrypted second-stage payload, the encrypted execution results of which are sent back to V1, which, according to the researchers, “acts as a data transfer between the A machine and the V2 server.”

The Bvp47 backdoor installed on the servers consists of two parts, a loader which is responsible for decoding and loading the actual payload into memory. “Bvp47 generally lives in the Linux operating system in the demilitarized zone that communicates with the Internet,” the researchers said. “It mainly assumes the core control bridge communication role in the overall attack.”

Links to the Equation Group

Pangu Lab’s attribution to Equation Group stems from overlaps with exploits contained in a GPG-encrypted archive file published by the Shadow Brokers – “eqgrp-auction-file.tar.xz.gpg” – as part of a failed auction of the cyber weapons in August 2016.

“In the process of analyzing the ‘eqgrp-auction-file.tar.xz.gpg’ file, it was found that Bvp47 and the attacking tools in the compressed package were technically deterministic, mainly including ‘dewdrops,’ ‘suctionchar_agents,’ ‘tipoffs,’ ‘StoicSurgeon,’ ‘incision’ and other directories,” the researchers explained.

“The ‘tipoffs’ directory contains the RSA asymmetric algorithm private key used in the Bvp47 covert channel [for] command execution and other operations. On this basis, it can be confirmed that Bvp47 is from [the] Equation group.”

The findings mark the second time hitherto undocumented malware developed by the Equation Group has come to light in as many months. In late December 2021, Check Point Research disclosed details of a diagnostic utility called “DoubleFeature” that’s used in conjunction with the DanderSpritz malware framework.

“Judging from the attack tools related to the organization, including Bvp47, Equation group is indeed a first-class hacking group,” the researchers concluded.

“The tool is well-designed, powerful, and widely adapted. Its network attack capability equipped by zero-day vulnerabilities was unstoppable, and its data acquisition under covert control was with little effort. The Equation Group is in a dominant position in national-level cyberspace confrontation.”

A most outstanding Interview

It truly is. Man, oh man. No holding back. This is THE Scott Ritter that was sent to Iraq to find WMD’s and got in all sorts of trouble by the Bush Administration when he couldn’t find any. Man, he lets loose!

This link with Scott Ritter just popped up on moa a little while ago.
I’ve had to listen twice — highly recommended.

I think he is correct — NATO is dead and gone, bar for the funeral.
The European defence process will need to rebuild a less costly, more effective framework for peaceful co-existance with the Slavic world.

And this is a key point about re-alignments at a higher level than simply nation state.
It is at Chinese; Slavic; European; Anglo-American scales — everything else is just “loose ends” from the 20th century past.

Time to wake up, folks, and smell the roses (or the rubbish in the streets) and blame our local political representitives — after all, they ARE our ‘leaders’ (so they keep saying).
Accountability is a bitch ….Lol.

Archdukes across Europe hiring extra security details

Better safe than sorry.

By Cobré Commandreé

BRUSSELS — Archdukes across Europe are beefing up their security details following a full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine.

“We’ve seen this picture show before, ahem,” claimed Archduke Peter Von Fishburn-Waldrop III, of County Hampshire, as he took snuff.  “Whenever a world war is about to break out, one of us is inevitably assassinated, ahem.”

Archdukes are contracting mercenaries, hirelings, sell-swords, adventurers-about-town, and various other soldiers of fortune to round out their security details.

“Aye, it be good for business, make no mistake.  Surely none of us wish to see an Archduke what with his life-force pourin’ out of his noggin, but we got bills to pay too, mind you,” said Captain John Ninefingers, leader of the famed Free Company.

Students of history will remember that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand precipitated World War I, called The Great War at the time, fought by various European powers. Archdukes fear that with the Ukrainian crisis, it’s only a matter of time before history repeats itself.

“One day you’re collecting rent from peasants, ahem, or getting promoted in the military despite no accomplishments, and the next day, ahem, you get assassinated by a young upstart who wants freedom from your imperial empire,” muttered Archduke Yannis Belagrovstad, of the Gutenberg Province. “What nerve!  What cheek!”

The motley collection of heirs-apparent is leaving nothing to chance. The finest technologies have been employed to ensure the safety of the Archduke corps throughout Europe.

“We attempted to develop a motorcar that was consistently surrounded by a moat as it traveled, ahem, but the peasants complained that it was too much digging,” mused Archduke Johannes Reberg, of the Kaiserschoten Kaserne.  “And isn’t that just like a peasant?”

When asked for comment, Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, the current leader of the European Commission, said, “The safety of the Archdukes remains our number one priority.  That’s why we’ve diverted troops from Ukraine to stand guard around their four-post beds throughout the night.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a press release Tuesday morning regarding the safety of the Archdukes.

“When it comes to the assassination of Archdukes, it appalls me to think that anyone could be considering such an action,” said Putin, “without me having first ordered it”.

MoA – Disarming Ukraine – Day 2

The Russian operations in the Ukraine continue at a moderate pace. Some more troops were committed today. In all the Russian military may have now introduced some 20-40% of its prepared forces.

The Ukrainian military is not so much holding a line but concentrating in and around its bigger cities. It has destroyed some bridges north of Kiev to make an approach more difficult. That will slow down the Russian moves but will not prevent them. Russia’s military is famously good at setting up combat bridges.

So far the Russians have used their artillery sparsely. An exception was last night near Kharkiv in the northeast of Ukraine where a strike by multiple launcher artillery systems (MLRS) hit some area target with yet unknown results.

A 13 minutes long video from a highway drive near Kherson, a city north of Crimea, shows nearly 100 destroyed Ukrainian trucks and tanks. These are likely victims of air attacks.

If this map from a Turkish think tank source is correct the Russian troops did not attempt much deeper strikes today but mostly consolidated their frontline.

This map from Janes shows less progress. But it also has not marked the Donbas area in the southeast which is held by pro-Russian forces.

Russia’s President has called on the Ukrainian military to overthrow its government. I do not think he believes that will happen but it is a possibility so why not call for it.

Facebook now allows to praise Ukrainian Nazi groups like the Azov battalion. This was prohibited with Azov previously being in the same category as ISIS. Now these are ‘our guys’.

There are a lot of discussions of sanctions against Russia and every western country is trying to get as much exemptions for its industries as possible . The U.S. has for example exempted everything that has to do with hydrocarbons from its own sanction package. It will still buy Russian oil and will continue to sell drilling equipment to Russia.

The EU countries are still negotiating with themselves. They should be careful with what they do.

Britain has had the stupidity of sanctioning the Russian air carrier Aeroflot. In a counter move Russia prohibited British Airways from flying over Russian territory. Normally all flights from Britain to the Far East cross Russian airspace. These will now have to be redirected to other routes which will significantly increase their flight time and fuel burn.

Russia has threatened ‘inconvenient’ counter-sanctions to those who sanction it. Overflight rights are only one of the tools it can use.

NATO has said it will continue to deliver weapons, including air defenses, to the Ukraine. NATO does not have any weapons but some NATO countries seem to strive for a larger war. The U.S. seem willing to sacrifice the Ukraine to create a quagmire for Russia.

Syria was also supposed to become a quagmire for Russia when Russia came to its help. It didn’t turn out that way.

Finally, this is how we handle Trolls here on MM

"Once you cut through the bullshit and understand what's going on, it's easy to predict what will happen.

These people and countries acting as attack dogs for the empire must therefore be taught an unforgettable lesson. If you don't put down the rabid dogs, they will get up and bite you again. 

Therefore, Russia will not take half measures. 

They will not stop unless the surrender is total, and punishment for the miscreants dealt out accordingly. Otherwise, this operation will be for naught."

If you don’t understand this video, you must have a mental illness. Truth this.

America is stepping back from war with China, and stepping up to the plate to take on Russia. A Rand recommendation.

The soaring contempt and smug exceptionalism made me almost gag on my weetbix as I read this. I've never met an empire more in dire need of a slap down...

-Posted by: Patroklos | Apr 14 2021 19:50 utc | 6

For shits and giggle, I often read some of the policy papers that are generated out of Washington DC. They are fantastical and outlandish and shows that either [1] America is a nation run by herd-mentality idiots, or [2] that they are so enraptured in their own echo chamber that they don’t realize what fresh-air is. Here is one such policy paper.

It is from RAND.

Which is a big “Think Tank” out in Washington DC that loves war, like I love sex, pizza and wine.

Research Questions

  1. How do Russia and China challenge U.S. national security and global influence?
  2. How can the United States meet those challenges?

Russia and China represent distinct challenges to U.S. national security.

Russia is not a peer or near-peer competitor but rather a well-armed rogue state that seeks to subvert an international order it can never hope to dominate.

So Russia; enormous Russia with a population larger than the United States is a "well armed" rogue state.

I can agree that it is well-armed. But, a rogue state?

A rogue state otherwise known as an outlaw state, is a term applied by some international theorists to states that they consider threatening to "the world's peace". 

This means being seen to meet certain criteria, such as [1] being ruled by authoritarian or totalitarian governments. [2] That severely restrict human rights. That [3] sponsors terrorism and [4] seeking to proliferate weapons of mass destruction. 

By these criteria, it is America that is a rogue state.

Yet, the term is used most by the United States, and in his speech at the United Nations in 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated this phrase. 

In contrast, China is a peer competitor that wants to shape an international order that it can aspire to dominate.

Yes. China is a peer competitor with the Untied States, and in many areas it has surpassed the Untied States.

But this idea that it wants to "shape an international order" that it can dominate is flat-out false.

It wants to follow confucianism values in cooperation and harmony so that all can benefit. Of course China wants to put the Chinese people first. This is the function of all governments. But to call a peaceful nation that hasn't been involve din a war for over 50 years desirous of dominating others is really outlandish.

4 Confucian principles that are integral to a moral life and a moral society

[1] Development of the self. The development of the self and the cultivation of virtue and morality are crucial to Confucius’ vision of a harmonised world.

[2] Filial Piety. Filial piety is a love and respect for one’s parents. ...

[3] The importance of tradition. ...

[4] We must be humane. ...

No wonder that RAND and those psychopathic personalities in Washington DC are confused with China. these values are completely alien to them.

Both countries seek to alter the status quo.

But only Russia has attacked neighboring states, annexed conquered territory, and supported insurgent forces seeking to detach yet more territory.

Russia assassinates its opponents at home and abroad.

Russia interferes in foreign elections.

Russia subverts foreign democracies.

Russia works to undermine European and Atlantic institutions.

And so does the United States. Historically this is known as spy-craft, international politics, and intrigue. It's not a reason to go to war over.

In contrast, China’s growing influence is based largely on more-positive measures: trade, investment, and development assistance. These attributes make China a less immediate threat but a much greater long-term challenge.

True. China is not an immediate military threat.

But the only challenge here is whether the Untied States is able to compete with it. After throwing away it's scientists and engineers, it's going to be a hard slog trying to compete with "diversity directors" and "accountants".

In the military realm, Russia can be contained, but China cannot.

Its military predominance in east Asia will grow over time, compelling the United States to accept greater costs and risks just to secure existing commitments.

But it is geoeconomics, rather than geopolitics, in which the contest for world leadership will play out.

It is in the domain of geoeconomics that the balance of global influence between the United States and China has begun shifting in China’s favor.

Key Findings

China presents a greater geoeconomic challenge to the United States than Russia does

  • China’s per capita GDP approaches Russia’s; its population is eight times Russia’s, and its growth rate three times.
  • As of 2017, China’s economy was the second largest in the world, behind only that of the United States. Russia’s was 11th.
  • Russia’s military expenditure is lower than China’s, and that gap is likely to grow.
  • Russia is far smaller, has poorer economic prospects, and is less likely to dramatically increase its military power in the long term.
You can tell just how out of sync this entire paper is when they start using GDP instead of PPP for comparison values. I argue, rather convincingly I must add, that if you remove the top 0.1% of the super-billionaires out of America in your GDP calculations, the GDP slides way down to a value that is half of China's GDP.

Also the level of crime and corruption is far lower than what you see in America. Thus you can make and create things with far, far less effort and money.

Thus you really cannot make the comparisons that are being made here.

It truly is like comparing apples with bananas.

Russia is a more immediate and more proximate military threat to U.S. national security than China is but can be countered

  • Russia will probably remain militarily superior to all its immediate neighbors other than China.
  • Russia is vulnerable to a range of nonmilitary deterrents, such as sanctions on the Russian economy and limiting Russian income from exports of fossil fuels; multilateral efforts would be more effective than U.S.-only operations, however.

China presents a regional military challenge and a global economic one

  • Militarily, China can be contained for a while longer; economically, it has already broken free of regional constraints.
  • Russia backs far-right and far-left political movements with a view to disrupting the politics of adversarial societies and, if possible, installing friendlier regimes. China, in contrast, seems basically indifferent to the types of government of the states with which it interacts, increasing its attractiveness as an economic partner.

Recommendations

  • In the security sphere, the United States should continue to hold the line in east and southeast Asia, accepting the larger costs and risks involved in counterbalancing growing Chinese military capabilities. Meanwhile, Washington should help its regional allies and partners to field their own antiaccess and area denial systems. Finally, the United States should take advantage of any opportunities to resolve issues and remove points of Sino-American tension, recognizing that its bargaining position will gradually deteriorate over time.
  • In the economic realm, the United States needs to compete more effectively in foreign markets, persevere and strengthen international norms for trade and investment, and incentivize China to operate within those norms. Given China’s efforts to take technological leadership in the long term and the potential advantages that such leadership brings, the United States also needs to improve its innovation environment. Measures could include greater funding for research, retention of U.S.-educated foreign scientists and technologists, and regulatory reforms that ease the introduction of product and process improvements into businesses and the market.
  • In responding to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the United States should move to secure its own preferential access to the world’s largest markets, the industrialized countries of Europe and Asia; assist nations in increasing connectivity with the world economy; work with partners to ensure more transparency in China’s Belt and Road projects; and increase support to U.S. exporters and investors.
  • In all these challenges, the United States will be more successful coordinating action with allies and trading partners.

The differences between Texas and Taiwan

One of the big (intentionally fabricated) misunderstandings within America today is that Taiwan is an “independent” nation. It is not independent. It is a province of China. And has been so for some time, around fifty years.

But the drum beat for war against China continues, and the idea that it is “independent” is one that must be drilled over and over in the heads of Americans.

It’s necessary, don’t you see? How else can America justify a war? The argument must be hammered over and over again to make Americans believe that American marines must land on Taiwan to “save it”! Just like American had to invade Kuwait, Panama, Yemen, and Syria.

US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo gave a radio interview to Hugh Hewitt and said, 'Taiwan is not a part of China'."

Mike Pompeo's Taiwan remarks

But, we know that this is all just part of the CIA “fire hose of disinformation”. It’s the usual build of of anti-nation propaganda that always proceeds an American invasion force.

And Taiwan…?

Taiwan is very much like Texas. It is, in that it has subverted it’s independence to become part of something bigger. Texas, which was once fully independent, became a member state of the United States, and now operates as a semi-autonomous member of the union.

This is exactly the case of Taiwan. And here, we are going to discuss the similarities and the differences between Texas and Taiwan.

This is a just a quick post that I threw together. I tire to trying to explain what the fuck is going on in China to people who have never been there, and just simply regurgitate the "fire hose of disinformation" that Mike Pompeo has established regarding China.

Bottom line, American ignorance in matters outside America is astounding. Just friggin' out-of-this-world insane. Thus this post.

Introduction

It serves the interests of the oligarchy-run American government to keep the American citizenry ill-informed, and ignorant. That is why the government controls 99% of the American media. This means all of the alternative media source, not just the mainstream media. But also the government controls both the alt-Left and the alt-Right media.

In effect, creating three separate “echo chambers” that they control.

  • Alt-Left echo chamber.
  • Mainsteam “news” echo chamber.
  • Alt-Right echo chamber.

And the Trump / Neocon cabal has been desirous of a hot war with China to [1] “make America great again”, and [2] unify the nation, while at the same time [3] generating the reelection of Trump in 2020 as a “war President”.

And to this end, they have unleashed a torrent of anti-China propaganda that is astounding in it’s depth, quantity, persistence, and just the lies. It’s just (chuckle) fucking amazing.

Because people are a lot more likely to click, read and share information which validates their pre-existing opinions and follow people who do the same, social media is notorious for the way it creates tightly insulated echo chambers which masturbate our confirmation bias and hide any information which might cause us cognitive dissonance by contradicting it.

-This Is Your Brain On Echo Chambers: Right Calls Biden A Xi Puppet As He Packs His Cabinet With China Hawks

One of the big lies is that Taiwan is a tiny isolated nation that is under the shadow of near-by China. And that it is too fearful to do anything. It needs American military support to defend it! It needs protection! For liberty TM! And for democracy TM!

It’s all bullshit.

Here we are gonna compare Texas with Taiwan. Hopefully this simple comparison will help the reader understand Taiwan better than any of the voluminous bullshit out of the American media.

Ties to the “parent nation”

Texas stopped being an independent nation (independent Republic of Texas) and became a United States client state on December 29, 1845 by Annexation. It is the 28th State of the United States.

Taiwan stopped being an independent nation, and became a Chinese client state in 1972 by [1] The Shanghai Communiqué and the 1982 [2] Joint Communiqué and [3] the August 17 Communiqué. It’s the 23rd province of China.

All of this his was codified and made permanent on October 1971, when the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 2758, which recognized the government of the People’s Republic of China as the only legitimate representative of China at the United Nations and established the One-China Principle.

From the ice-breaking visit to the normalization of relations and to the establishment of diplomatic ties, leaders and statesmen of the elder generation in China and the U.S., Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping on the Chinese side, and Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Henry Kissinger on the American side, acted in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and made the political decision of historic significance with their exceptional strategic vision and political courage to rise above the differences in ideology and social systems. 

The Shanghai Communiqué, the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, and the 1982 Joint Communiqué that focused on addressing the question of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, something left over from history, identified the One China principle and established the principles of mutual respect, equality and seeking common ground while putting aside differences as the guiding principles in conducting China-U.S. relations.

-Full text: Yang Jiechi's signed article on China-U.S. relations

And…

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 was passed in response to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1668 that required any change in China's representation in the UN be determined by a two-thirds vote referring to Article 18  of the UN Charter. 

The resolution, passed on 25 October 1971, recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations" and...

...removed the collective representatives of Chiang Kai-shek (Taiwan) from the United Nations.

Links on Taiwan, China and USA agreements

The USA and the Taiwan issue

But facts don’t matter to the brutish and the idiots that follow them. That is why people die in wars. The UN doesn’t matter to the American Alt-Right political machinery. Nor does any Chinese agreements, or Taiwan agreements. Agreements are meaningless to Trump and his cabal of neocons.

Don’t scream at me. I don’t make the rules. I’m only reporting on it.

The UN and treaties are meaningless unless they benefit America. Other than that, you can ignore them.
The UN and treaties are meaningless unless they benefit America. Other than that, you can ignore them.

Falsehoods, repeatedly and endlessly repeated, create a narrative and a justification for action. And smart people, and sincere people, and real true believers in ideals and truth follow these false narratives…

…and historically the results are always painful.

Gott mit uns is a phrase commonly used in heraldry in Prussia and later by the German military during the periods spanning the German Empire, the Third Reich, and the early years of West Germany. It was also commonly used by Sweden in most of its wars and especially as a warcry during the Thirty YearsWar.

.

So who’s side was God on? The Nazi Germans or the Proud Patriotic Americans? When you are led by a madman, or a crazed sociopath, you don’t know what is real or what is a lie. Even though, yourself, you might be pure and innocent of the true state of affairs.

Speaking recently about the Trump administration’s policy toward China, United States Vice President Mike Pence accused China of pressuring three Latin American nations to sever ties with Taipei and to recognize Beijing. He condemned these alleged actions, which he said “threaten the stability of the Taiwan Strait.” His claim reveals his ignorance of history.

Put simply, there is only one China, and Taiwan is an integral part of China’s territory. 

This has been widely accepted since October 1971, when the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 2758, which recognized the government of the People’s Republic of China as the only legitimate representative of China at the United Nations and established the One-China Principle.

El Salvador became the 177th country this year (2020) to adopt Resolution 2758 when President Salvador Sánchez Cerén recognized that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate representative of China, and that Taiwan is an integral part of China’s territory.

Decades ago, when the United States established formal ties with China, they recognized the One-China Principle. 

The three joint communiqués that established formal China-U.S. relations, namely the Shanghai Communiqué, the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations and the August 17 Communiqué, all affirmed the One-China Principle. 

American adherence to the three joint communiqués and the One-China Principle, and its cooperation with China on restraining Taiwan independence forces, are part of the political foundations of healthy China-U.S. relations.

From time to time, some voices in the United States call on the government there to abandon the promises it made all those years ago. And some go so far as to call for the government to interfere in China’s domestic affairs in relation to Taiwan. Mike Pence, an avowed Christian, would be well aware of the Bible’s admonishment: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

-When it comes to Taiwan, America should reflect on its own history

With all that being said, let’s compare Texas with Taiwan and see how they “stack up” comparatively.

stack up against, to

To compare the worth or power of something. This term comes from poker and alludes to how one player’s chips, representing money, compare to another’s. The higher the stack in front of a player, the more money he or she has. 

Military

Texas has it’s own military. It uses United States supplied weapons and training. And the forces are all United States trained. They are under the control of the United States.

Taiwan has it’s own military. It uses United States supplied weapons and training. And the forces are all Taiwan trained. They are under the control of the local Taiwan government.

Language

In Texas, the schools teach in English and in the local Spanish. All official government dealings is in English, while on the very local regional level, Spanish is often used. Most residents of Texas can speak English fluently, and most can speak some Spanish.

In Taiwan, the schools teach in Chinese and in the local Taiwan language. All official government dealings is in Chinese, while on the very local regional level, Taiwan language is often used. Most residents of Taiwan can speak Chinese fluently, and most can speak some local Taiwan language.

Passports and Travel

In Texas, the people use United States passports to travel internationally. They do not need personal papers to travel in the United States.

In Taiwan, the people have both Taiwan and Chinese passports. They can use either to travel internationally. Travel to China is simple, all they do is show their Chinese passports.

Culture / Society

The people of Texas celebrate United States holidays. They speak the local language at home. They obey the local religions. They participate in United States (typical) hobbies, watch United States sports, and listen / read United States news.

The people of Taiwan celebrate Chinese holidays. They speak the local language at home. They obey the local religions. They participate in Chinese (typical) hobbies, watch Chinese sports, and listen / read Chinese news.

Trade

Texas trades with the United States. Texans own factories that operate within the United States, and people in Texas buy products that are made in the USA and vice versa.

Taiwan trades with China. The Taiwanese own factories that operate within China, and people in Taiwan buy products that are made in China and vice versa.

Food

Texans enjoy American food, however personally they also enjoy Mexican food. Thus creating their own style of food known as Tex-Mex.

Taiwanese enjoy Chinese food, however personally they also enjoy local food. Thus creating their own style of food known as Taipei Cuisine.

What about International Intervention?

Texas cannot invite The Chinese military without repercussions. In Texas, if the local Texas Congress invited the Chinese military to come in, train, equip and set up a base on Texas soil, the United States Federal government would consider it an invasion and would respond militarily.

Taiwan cannot invite The United States military without repercussions. In Taiwan, if the local Taiwan Congress invited the American military to come in, train, equip and set up a base on Taiwan soil, the Chinese would consider it an invasion and would respond militarily.

Conclusions

There is an American narrative (actually alt-Right) that has really been heavily promoted during the four years of the Donald Trump Presidency, that America must “DO SOMETHING” about Taiwan.

The over all strategy is to establish American military bases and a presence on the island, and then, eventually use it as a staging location for a military confrontation and invasion of mainland China.

It’s a crazy, no it’s an INSANE, pipe-dream.

American cities would all be smoldering radioactive ruins were that to be attempted. China does not play.

Hopefully, this post explains why.

One last point…

You know, it is in China’s interests for America to supply Taiwan with it’s latest technology, ships and aircraft. This is because inside Taiwan, there is a small “cottage industry” that gets the parts, reverses engineers them and send the data to the engineers and designers inside of China. It’s a great system. Very mature. Well perfected.

This is precisely why China’s Navy is peer capable with America’s.

Or, perhaps you think that 60 years of technical innovation just happened in a span of ten years? Of that China was able to match and duplicate American electronics and sensing systems alone without feedback? They are either geniuses, or able to copy extremely well.

You decide.

China is using the American Alt-Right to provide them with the technical expertise and technology it needs to build up it’s military. Great work Mike Pompeo! Great work Mike Pence! Great work Donald Trump!

Here is an excerpt from “The Unconquered”…

"Deng opened the doors for the great Land of the Orient to do business with America and the rest of the world. It was however not without risks. The West led by the U.S. wrote the modern rules of the game—rules such as Bretton Woods, Plaza Accord, Washington Consensus, WTO, Petrodollar, World Bank, IMF, the Fed, LIBOR, SWIFT, et cetera, et cetera. These are cold and calculated capitalist rules.


As the rule-maker, the West can also change the rules, ignore the rules, or unilaterally abrogate the rules if they so wish. Rules are made for the weak. The West had all the game pieces while China had none. Those pieces weren’t free. China must pay to play. The West on the other hand could, when necessary, conjure up any number of game pieces out of thin air. 


Furthermore, the West has a favorite move known as All Options Are on the Table, which would cause weaker players to concede right away, considering the alternative would be at least a black eye, a bloody nose, and several dislodged teeth accompanied by the loss of face. For the impertinent and recalcitrant, it could be much worse. It’s a game the West does not play to lose. 


Put yourself in Deng’s shoes. What choices did he have? Deng might have been a communist but he was also a realist. China had very little resources except a billion penurious people, most of whom half-literate peasants. In order to survive in the world, China must play the only game in town. 

As a big country, China could endure the usual insults, even absorb a punch now and then, but it could also learn to play the game, and over time improve the lives of its people. 

That’s the ultimate goal of the Chinese government—whose motto is “Serve the People”—in fact of any government that purports to serve its constituents. 

Who cares what color cats others may think the Chinese are keeping? As quantum physicists well know, Schrödinger’s cats are simultaneously black and white, especially when no one is watching."

...

“The impossible becomes reality because the Chinese Communist never gives up,” David told Victoria while the two stood among the throng that listened to Chairman Mao’s declaration of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China at Tiananmen Square. 

“China’s independence and its right of self-determination are not gained by rabid barking nor through a master’s largesse, but by blood and sacrifice, lest anyone forgets.”

War Cheerleaders – Anti-Russia and Anti-China neocons have hijacked American media.

I am appalled at the anti-China rhetoric that is spewing out from the United States these days. It is horrific and truly frightening.

This level of propaganda historically precedes a hot war with a major power.

And somehow, the American leadership thinks that they can use “small” nuclear weapons, germ-warfare, and start putting “boots on the ground” inside of China without having Chicago, Los Angles, San Francisco, and New York City vaporized within a nuclear fireball. They point out that America outnumbers the number of Chinese nuclear weapons by a huge margin, and that no one would ever risk using them against the USA.

Yes, the actually do believe that.

The mass-produced Chinese DF-41. The new weapon delivery system is reportedly designed to be launched as the final stage of China’s intercontinental ballistic missile, which would approach its target at a velocity of up to 10 times the speed of sound. Hypersonic speed range lies between Mach 5 and Mach 10, or 3,840 to 7,680 miles per hour.
The mass-produced Chinese DF-41. The new weapon delivery system is reportedly designed to be launched as the final stage of China’s intercontinental ballistic missile, which would approach its target at a velocity of up to 10 times the speed of sound. It carries a warhead that is 1000 times more devastating than what was used on Hiroshima. Hypersonic speed range lies between Mach 5 and Mach 10, or 3,840 to 7,680 miles per hour.

Given the fact that geographically China is much larger than the United States, has a population four times of America, and over 40-times the number of factories, were there to be a devastating nuclear Armageddon between the United States and China…

… it would be China that would survive.

The United States would end up being transformed to pre-medeaval England. America without electricity, gasoline, water, or medicine is Somalia.

Even though much of China would be in ruin, the enormous number of factories, all spread out everywhere, and the insane level of “get back on your feet” attitude that the Chinese possess, would be formidable. The Chinese would pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and get right to work.

And it’s not just that.

China and Russia are military partners.

If you attack one, the other would chime in. Combined, any attack on either Russia or China would result in both coming for the American jugular vein. And there would be no mercy. Both would conduct “double taps”, and America would become a radioactive agrarian society… without electricity or running fresh water.

It’s not just myself that understand this. This has been the continuous, steady state response to all the simulations conducted by the RAND group, the pentagon, and other NGO’s.

Yet, the anti-China narrative has ramped up. It’s fucking insanity.

Here we talk about this…

The following article is from Caitlin Johnstone. com It’s titled “Liberal NPCs Hate Russia, Conservative NPCs Hate China“, and a really good read. It has been edited to fit this venue. All credit to the author. And please take a moment to visit the website when you get a chance. It’s pretty good, eh?

Liberal NPCs Hate Russia, Conservative NPCs Hate China

Americans are manipulated by both sides of the political spectrum.
Americans are manipulated by both sides of the political spectrum.

The hashtag #ChinaLiedPeopleDied was recently sent trending on Twitter by “new right” pundit Michael Courdrey.

With the amplification of all the usual Trump bootlickers and their sheep-like followers.

Further feeding into the anti-China cold war hysteria conservatives have been aggressively pushing with increasingly frenetic urgency lately.

Which is hilarious, since these are the same people who’ve spent the last three years making fun of liberals and calling them NPCs for doing the exact same thing with Russia.

The Same Propaganda Technique.

And when I say the exact same thing, I mean literally the exact same thing.

The frenzied, shrieking hysteria I’m witnessing right now among Trump’s base regarding China looks and moves in the exact same way…

… the mental zombification of Russia hysteria looked and moved…

… when it began tearing through rank-and-file Democrats in late 2016 and early 2017.

The seething, screaming vitriol I get from the MAGA crowd on social media when I talk about this…

… is identical to what I got during that period from Democrats: just as irrational, just as vituperative, and just as emotion-driven.

The 2020 outbreak of China hysteria is so identical to the 2016/2017 outbreak of Russia hysteria…

…. that as of this writing if you do a Twitter live search right now for the word “wumao” or “CCP paying you”…

… you’ll see an endless stream of Trump supporters running around bleating accusations of being a paid troll for the Chinese Communist Party at anyone who disputes their hysterical China narratives.

Same  with the word "wumao". Trump bootlickers are bleating accusations of  being a Chinese propagandist in exactly the same way liberals have been  bleating "How's the weather in St Petersburg, Ivan?" at anyone who  questions establishment narratives.https://t.co/UCVrVV9I63

— Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ (@caitoz) March 19, 2020

It’s Obvious.

Anyone who’s ever shared anti-establishment ideas on social media will immediately recognize this.

It is identical to accusations which come from the pussyhatted #Resistance crowd of brainwashed MSNBC liberals.

Liberals who accuse anyone who questions establishment narratives of being a paid troll conducting propaganda for the Russian government.

These “How much is the CCP paying you for this?” accusations which have been cluttering up my social media notifications for the last 24 hours are indistinguishable…

… from the “How’s the weather in St Petersburg, Ivan?”

McCarthyite accusations I’ve been receiving from rank-and-file Democrats for the last three years.

It’s just like the froth-mouthed victims of media-induced Russia hysteria.

The victims of media-induced China hysteria are always unable to justify their sudden Beijing anxiety in a way that makes any coherent sense.

I’ve spent the last few days debating these poor wretches online.

It’s what I do whenever a new sociopathic establishment narrative surfaces.

I do it to gain an understanding of how it works.

And I have yet to encounter a single one which can coherently reconcile the sudden uptick in shrieking China hysteria with the thing that China has always been throughout its historical existence.

Excuses and Justifications

They’ll tell me it’s because China lied about the virus and made errors in the early days of the outbreak.

But can’t lucidly explain how screaming about this helps fix any problem.

They can’t justify the fact that lying about the virus and making errors is exactly what president Trump just spent weeks doing.

They’ll tell me it’s because China is authoritarian.

Yet, they can’t explain the sudden uptick in outrage over this.

For after all, China has always had an authoritarian government and that has nothing to do with the virus.

They’ll parrot establishment narratives about Uighurs and organ harvesting, but, again, can’t explain how this has any connection to the virus.

Manipulation of American Citizenry.

When I point out that there are extremely powerful government agencies which stand much to gain from all this.

That they tend to gain from manufacturing consent for new escalations against America’s primary geostrategic rival.

I mostly get more outraged, incoherent sputtering.

But you know, once in a while a more thoughtful China Derangement Syndrome victim will say they don’t want any escalations against China.

The truth is that they just want to end an economic relationship between China and the US which they perceive as unfair.

But, again, this has nothing to do with the virus, and also it’s a mighty interesting coincidence that they’ve formed this opinion about the one nation who just so happens to be America’s primary geopolitical foe.

Emotionally driven, not rational.

This inability to draw a rational straight line from the facts in evidence to their hysterical anti-China bleating tells you everything you need to know.

They are not rending their garments over China because of facts in evidence. Instead, they’re reacting emotionally to recent propaganda narratives. Narratives that they’ve been spoon fed. Then, they begin listing off the things they’ve heard about China in an attempt to justify their irrational behavior.

In reality these people are rallying behind the campaign to blame China for the health crisis they’re now facing. This is simply because they understand that otherwise the blame will land squarely on the shoulders of their president, who’s running for re-election this year.

Deep down they know full well that this isn’t really about China, but about protecting their president.

But what they are actually doing, unwittingly, is manufacturing consent for an agenda which is far bigger and far more consequential than who wins the election in November.

And it’s no accident that they’re being shepherded in this direction with the help of right-wing establishment narrative managers.

Russiagate Isn't About Trump, And It Isn't Even Ultimately About Russia #China #Russiagate #TrumpRussiahttps://t.co/6QhzZGNPfX

— Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ (@caitoz) January 28, 2018

Russia! Russia! Russia!

More than two years ago I wrote an article titled “Russiagate Isn’t About Trump, And It Isn’t Even Ultimately About Russia“, about how all these Russia escalations (and the propaganda used to justify them) are ultimately not really about Russia at all, but China.

Here’s an excerpt:

This is what Russiagate is  ultimately about. Democrats think it’s about impeaching Trump and  protecting the world from a nigh-omnipotent supervillain in Vladimir  Putin, Trump’s supporters think it’s a “deep state coup” to try and oust their president, but in reality this has nothing to do with Trump, and ultimately not a whole lot to do with Russia either. 

When all is said  and done, Russiagate is about China.

In an essay titled “Russia-China Tandem Changes the World”, US-Russia relations analyst Gilbert Doctorow explains how the surging economic power China depends upon Russia’s willingness to go head-to-head with America and its extensive experience with US attempts to undermine the USSR during the Cold War. 

Alone both nations  are very vulnerable, but together their strengths are complementary in a way that poses a direct threat to America’s self-appointed role as world leader.

And now we’re seeing one of America’s two mainstream factions cheerleading for increased hostility toward America’s primary rival.

While the other faction cheerleads for increased hostility against that rival’s right arm.

This two-pronged propaganda campaign has enabled the establishment via the Trump administration to escalate tensions not just with China but with Russia as well.

America is a nation of manipulated sheep.

This tracks with something I’ve been pointing to for a while now, which I described in an article from last year titled “37 Tips For Navigating A Society That Is Full Of Propaganda And Manipulation“:

Notice  how the manipulators like to split the population in two and then get  them arguing over how they should serve the establishment. 

Arguing over  whether it’s better to vote Democrat or Republican, arguing over whether it’s better to increase hostilities with Iran and Venezuela or with  Syria and Russia, over whether you should support the US president or  the FBI, arguing over how internet censorship should happen and whom should be censored rather than if censorship  should happen in the first place. 

The longer they can keep us arguing over the best way to lick the imperial boot, the longer they keep us from talking about whether we want to lick it at all.

37 Tips For Navigating A Society That Is Full Of Propaganda And Manipulation

Added  some more tips to this article from last year in order to help navigate  through the haze of narrative manipulation in these confusing times. https://t.co/Z05RH16IlB

— Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ (@caitoz) March 18, 2020

I wrote more about the way the establishment manipulators get the mainstream factions arguing over which nation should be targeted with aggression, rather than if any nations should be targeted at all, in a January 2020 article titled “On The Idiotic Partisan Debate Over Regime Change In Iran Or Syria“:

It  is truly, deeply and profoundly stupid because the agenda to topple  Iran’s government and the agenda to topple Syria’s government are not  two separate agendas. 

They are the same. 

Supporting one while opposing  the other is like wanting to shoot someone in the head but being morally  opposed to shooting them in the heart.Syria and Iran are  allies. 

Eliminating one government necessarily hurts the other. Iran  has been helping Syria to win the war against foreign-backed extremist proxy fighters who nearly succeeded in toppling Damascus before its allies stepped in, and should Syria  succeed in rebuilding itself (something the Trump administration is actively preventing it from doing) we can be sure it would return the favor when called upon.

We are now seeing this exact same two-pronged approach used with Russia and China.

We’ve actually been seeing it for years, like in this affectionate debate between former CIA Director James Woolsey and Fox News’ Laura Ingraham over which of the two nations America should be more aggressive toward, but it’s kicked into high gear now.

The End Result

The end result being that you have America’s two mainstream parties arguing over which establishment agenda should be advanced.

  • War with Russia.
  • War with China.

As well as how establishment interests should be served.

  • More money for the military-establishment.
  • More money for studies.
  • More money and more regulations.

Hardly anyone in mainstream circles ever questioning if the establishment should be served at all.

Which is just how the establishment likes it.

America has two war parties.

  • Anti-Russia
  • Anti-China

The Overton window of acceptable mainstream debate has been ripped away from those who simply want peace and a healthy planet altogether, and now the only permitted arguments are about which wars should occur first.

This is gravely disordered, and it cannot continue.

The war will not play out like anyone expects. Both Russia and China are serious, serious nations that do not fuck around. It’s not gonna be another Yemen. It’s not gonna be another “police action”. It’s going to be lethal and on YOUR front door.


Chinese ICBMs.
Chinese ICBMs.

Conclusion

War clouds are brewing. Perhaps it would be be best to start reading some of my posts on SHTF events. The Washington establishment wants war and no… it will not be televised.

If things continue along this path…

If people don’t start to put their “foot down” and demand this neocon nonsense stop…

…most Americans will notice that they suddenly have no electricity and no internet.

No phones.

No gas.

No food.

And the skies over the hills will glow red all night.

Then, and then, things will start to get really strange…

Another Opinion on the COVID-19 coronavirus. Worth a read.

Most of the negative comments to my postings come from people who don’t read the entire post / article. They scan the headline, maybe read one or two paragraphs and then lash out with some kind of vitriol. Aside from the trolls (they don’t last long here) the responses are telling. Unless you state something similar to the mainstream media narrative, you are a radical; and irresponsible fool, who needs to be “put in his place”. Maybe. Here’s another opinion. Check it out.

Mainstream media 
Government approved propaganda for the masses.

Alt-Left and Alt-Right 
Elements of real actual truth interspersed with the intentionally outrageous. The articles are designed to push an on-going narrative "off track" and move it away from the truth.

This opinion on the COVID-19 coronavirus is from another person looking at things from a different, and more expansive point of view. He omits some things that I include in my calculus, such as the use of drones to propagate germ warfare, but it’s still a good look at this situation. Please give him every consideration.

The following is an article titled “China is Confronting the COVID-19 Epidemic. Was It Man-Made? An Act of of Bio-warfare?” written by Peter Koenig for Global Research on February 29, 2020. It was edited to fit this venue, but aside from that, left intact. All credit to the author.

China is Confronting the COVID-19 Epidemic. Was It Man-Made? An Act of of Bio-warfare?

The new coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, also called COVID-19, has as of this date resulted in more than 3,000 deaths and infected more than 80,000 people Worldwide, the vast majority of them in China

The epidemic is largely confined to Mainland China.

While the virus has spread to at least 51 countries according to the WHO, the numbers of confirmed cases are low: 4691 confirmed  cases outside Mainland China. (See table right) 

Not Addressed is that this could be a man-made virus.

COVID-19 status.

Source: WHO, February 28, 2020. 51 countries according to WHO

What western media fails to address is that there is a probability that the virus could have been man-made in one or more of the numerous US bio-warfare laboratories.

Western media also are silent about the fact that the virus appears to be largely affecting ethnic Chinese, meaning, it targets specifically Chinese DNA. 

Also not addressed is that this virus initially targeted Asians exclusively.

Almost all of the deaths and confirmed cases in the 51 countries and territories to which the virus has spread, are of Chinese origin.

The virus appears to be strengthening, as it mutates over time, making its control even more difficult. Will it eventually break the “Chinese DNA boundaries” and affect also other DNA types, i.e. western “Caucasian” people.

The West expects the Chinese to control the spread and limit it to China.

But the west also expects Chinese scientists and bio-researchers to overcome the epidemic and stop the virus from further mutating, therefore reducing the western infection risk.

Finding a Vaccine.

Despite early hopes that a vaccine may be found soon – until now there has been little progress in this direction. However, Cuba’s antiviral Recombinant Interferon Alpha 2B (IFNrec) was chosen by Chinese medical and bio-researchers to combat the coronavirus.

Interestingly, Interferon had been discovered in Cuba 39 years ago, at the very onset of Cuba’s biotechnology programme in 1981. But it is not widely used in the world, even though it could save countless lives and cure countless patients (mainly diabetics), simply because of the US boycott that does not allow marketing of medication Made in Cuba.

This could be an act of biological warfare.

Nevertheless, the COVID19 infection rate seems to have been gradually declining in the last three weeks. And there is no doubt that China will overcome this epidemic. Yet, the world must wake up to the fact that this could be an act of biological warfare.

Precedents: Bird Flu, African Swine Flu affecting China

In the last two years, since 2018 alone, China was hit by several types of bird flu (H7N4 and H7N9) in 2018 and yet another strain just in January 2020 which was overshadowed by the more serious COVID-2019.

There was also an outbreak of the African swine Flu (2018), killing millions of pigs.

Propagated by drones. These advanced and technically advanced drones sprayed the virus over the widely isolated pig farms. Not talked about in the Western media, but well known in China.

And there was a massive food crop destruction (2019 – mostly corn and soybeans) by the so-called “armyworms”.

Compensating for the impacts on the supply of pork, corn and soybean, China resorted to importing theses commodities– and most of the imports came from the US.

An attempt to create a famine?

Were these ‘outbreaks’ which  had destructive impacts on China’s economy coincidental? They have created instability, food price inflation and a dependence on imported agricultural products from the US.

The western media has been playing up the so-called Trump tariff war with China, while hidden from the limelight and in parallel, more serious warfare – bio-warfare – was going on.

These actions are being kept hidden from Americans.

In fact, little is known in the west about these previous biological attacks by the US-led west. Thus aiming at damaging massively the China’s economy…

… as well as heightening China’s dependence on imports from the US.

In addition to damaging China morally, thereby, they, the west, believe (wrongly), weakening the level of resistance.

A real war with bombs and guns, maybe nuclear, aiming at total destruction, cannot be ruled out.

The Big Picture

Let’s remember the Big Picture.

Namely that this is, in whatever way you want to turn it, a bio-war against China.

And perhaps the first step of an all-out war against China’s rising economic power…

…and foremost against China’s solid currency, the yuan which may soon take over as the world’s chief reserve currency.

This would mean the fall of the US-dollar hegemony, the only force that keeps the (American) empire alive and kicking, other than its military strength which is non-sustainable…

….as it aims only at destruction abroad…

… but leaving behind a rapidly faltering economy at home.

Precisely the same pattern brought down the Roman Empire some 2000 years ago.

Too Many “Coincidences”: The October 2019 Simulation of a High Level Pandemic 

There are too many “coincidences” to conclude that this strengthened coronavirus…

… considerably stronger than SARS, the one of the 2002 / 2003 epidemic…

… ‘escaped’ a Wuhan lab by accident, or as the west would like to present it: by negligence.

Wuhan Military World Games.

First, there were the Military Olympics in October in Wuhan (18 – 27 October 2019), where about 200 American soldiers participated.

The first cases of 2019-nCoV fever were discovered about two weeks later…

… two weeks is the average gestation period from infection to outbreak.

Event 201

Event 201.

Second, there was Event 201, on October 18, 2019, at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in Baltimore, Maryland, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum.

(WEF – the corporatocracy representing Big Weapons, Big Pharma and Big Money), and the John Hopkins Institute.

The theme was simulating a High-Level Pandemic Exercise – and yes, the simulation produced 65 million deaths. Just a couple of weeks before the first COVID-19 victims were identified. (See below)

Lunar New Year: The Year of the Rat 

Year of the Rat.

And third – the timing, hitting China right on their most important Holiday, the Lunar New Year. When people are traveling, uniting with family and friends, when there are usually huge festivities with lots of people. This is an event of celebrating happiness.

All now cut short by the outbreak that put Wuhan and portions of Hubei Province, and a total of about 50 million Chinese in quarantine. And more – no shopping, no exchange of presents, no celebrations – a huge economic loss.

Not “just” coincidences

Circumstantial gut-feeling tells me, this is not a series of three coincidences. This could be (yet to be confirmed) a maliciously planned disaster.

Is this is a sinister plan carried out by a western elite to attack China’s rapidly growing economy, outpacing that of the United States?

Is it an attack on the Yuan which is also gradually replacing the US dollar as a world reserve currency?

When that (the Yuan replacing the dollar) happens the US-empire which essentially relies on dollarization is doomed.

The build-up to more harm and destruction, possibly a hot war?

Strange WHO activity…

In late January,  the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Director General (DG) said that the new coronavirus, COVID19, also called 2019-nCoV, was not a pandemic.

On January 30, probably on instructions from Washington, he declared the outbreak of a Global Emergency, but added on his own initiative that there were no reasons for countries to ban travel of their citizens to China.

In contradiction to WHO’s recommendation, Washington immediately issued a travel warning for US citizens not to travel to China. Many other countries followed their master, especially Europeans.

Another hit on the Chinese economy.

Cruise ships with Chinese on board are not granted docking rights. Merchandise vessels are in many countries not allowed to enter international harbors to unload their goods.

Media Propaganda

The media propaganda drums proclaim that the virus is spreading fast and will soon engulf the entire world. The culprit is China, where the virus originated. That’s what western propaganda wants you to believe.

Nobody mentions that the COVID19 virus appears to be focusing on the Chinese genome (yet to be confirmed) and that almost no westerners.

Well, if the media would talk about it, it would become clear for the entire world that the virus could not have been created or originated in China.

As China would not infect her own people.

No matter what the ridiculous Alt-Right narrative might proclaim.

And that the virus was most likely man-made and somehow transported into Wuhan.

Could it be that it was brought to Wuhan by one or more of the American participants in the military games?

Rates are declining.

The death to infection rate is about 3% in China, but has been steadily declining in the past week. The ratio is less than  1% in the several countries outside of China, where the virus was detected. Italy and Iran seem to be exceptions.

In Italy, as of this date, the official number of infected people has jumped to 400 with 12 confirmed deaths, also a death rate of 3%.

Iran with about 140 cases and 20 deaths, a 14% death rate, the highest in the world. Why? Faulty reporting, or do those who died in Iran have Chinese DNA?

In Italy, a country in the midst of the European flu season, most diseased people are elderly, according to the Health Ministry. But how precise are the tests? This is important since most symptoms of COVID19 are very similar to those of the common flu, especially for elderly people vulnerable to respiratory diseases and pneumonia.

By comparison, US deaths from in the 2019 / 2020 flu season so far are estimated at about 34,200 (CDC). Figures in Europe are probably proportionately similar. But these figures are silenced by the media.

And now Italy is building up the propaganda drama, discussing border closing, but not yet deciding, and so are France, Germany and Switzerland – the discussion is a big media hype – but so far to the question – “Shall we ban entry to travelers from Italy?” –  They decided up to now, to leave borders open, as closing them would be bad for business. Though, that’s what they don’t say.

To add spice to the drama, Italy has also canceled the Venice Carnival and other public events, even closed church service and tourist attractions and monuments.

Anti-China fear.

The point is tremendous fear mongering, propagating fear from China. People in fear can easily be manipulated. It’s always been the case. Planting fear into a docile and even placid and peaceful population has always been the precursor to a call for war.

Fear, in a first round also helps isolating China, to cause as much economic damage as possible (weakening China to the point of ‘least resistance’).

Public consent for the second round, namely a hot war, will then be easy.

There is not much time, as the Chinese economy is advancing rapidly and along with it – the Yuan’s supremacy over the dollar.

Which, once recognized by the majority of the world, means the dollar hegemony is broken, and through that the US empire is broken.

For sure the US would not shy away from killing millions, hundreds of millions, just to preserve their dollar hegemony.

America.

Washington also realizes that the east, China, Russia and the rest of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is no longer dependent on the west. But could carry on with an autonomous “eastern” economy – which in itself would be an incentive for other countries in defiance of the US dictate to join the east.

The China – Russia – Iran alliance is one of the strongest “eastern axis” – which also provides full energy self-sufficiency to the eastern countries, i.e. the Shanghai Cooperation Organization or SCO. 

The association of SCO and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) comprises today about half of the world’s population and controls about a third of the world’s economic output (GDP).

Economic Damage

Nevertheless, China’s economic damage is considerable – work stoppages, limited consumption at home and in many countries a virtual ban on Chinese imports.

The stock market has dropped tremendously due to the Coronavirus outbreak and its economic consequences.

The worst may not yet be over, even if it doesn’t come to a ‘hot’ war…

… which we profoundly trust it will not.

China reacts…

To counteract this economic calamity, the People’s Bank of China (PBC – China’s Central Bank) may consider injecting quickly important amounts of money into China’s economy.

Especially targeting small and medium size enterprises, both public and private.

It would do this through China’s public banking system and other means of direct economic support…

  • To cut short losses caused by the western-imposed epidemics.
  • Reduce the risk of economic stagnation and.
  • Reducing un- or under-employment.
  • And to (once again) achieve food self-sufficiency.
  • Diversify China’s suppliers and supply-chains away from the US and western US-allies.

The accent is on food self-sufficiency.

International Trade

For international trade and transfer payments, Chinas Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and the crypto-yuan is expected to gradually increase its acceptance around the world…

… and outrank the western transfer system SWIFT…

… and the US-dollar hegemony which are key instruments the United States uses to impose…

… totally illegal economic sanctions upon countries that dare insisting on their sovereignty. And refuse to submit to Washington’s pressure.

Cases in point are Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Sudan – and many more.

These US-led western efforts to weaken China’s economy are also meant to send a discouraging message to all those countries that are planning to divest their reserves and international payment methods away from the US-dollar.

The west will not succeed.

China is far more powerful than the West believes.

Even with the massive damage caused by the recent coronavirus, China’s economy is steadier and stronger than that of most western countries, especially the US.

China’s non-confrontational approach to resolve these social – health – and economic issues, will help China to overcome and isolate her aggressive adversaries.

That’s part of the 5000-year old Tao philosophy.

What this all looks like…

As the US is increasing her aggressive stance against China (and Russia) – Washington appears and acts more and more like a dying beast…

… lashing out around itself, trying to bringing down and destroying as much as possible…

… while steadily digging itself deeper into its own (economic) grave.

Sanctions left and right and bio-wars on China – threatening China by surrounding her with some 400 military bases and nuke-equipped warships and planes…

… will not create more confidence in the US, rather the contrary.

Countries and people realize that being aligned and allied with the US of A, is dangerous, can be deadly.

So, they are driven away and towards the east, rather than being attracted by the western sinking ship.

Predictions

Amazingly, western aggression will falter confronting China’s robust social and economic system…

… and more so, China’s peaceful plan to connect and build bridges between the world’s people, nations and cultures…

… through the socioeconomic development scheme of the 21st Century spanning the globe – the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also called the New Silk Road.

A way Towards a Shared Future for Mankind.

Conclusion

I am not alone in the idea that the COVID-19 coronavirus is part of a legion of efforts used by America to thwart and suppress China’s rise. It’s pretty obvious if you look at the big picture and take off you “rose colored glasses”.

What I fear is World War III.

America is run by neocon idiots who believe the lies that they propagandize to the American people.

They are going to destroy the world, and no… America will not escaped unscathed. It will be a Genghis Khan level event. The few future survivors will crawl out of their bunkers and lament this period of time. And they will consider the current American leadership to be the greatest fools in all of humanity.

They had an opportunity to share in the bounty of the world, but instead chose to be the Lord over everything and everyone, and destroyed the entire world in the process.

Perhaps moving to either Iceland or Fiji might make sense at this time. Eh?

Chimeric virus – “Combining two pathogenic viruses increases the lethality of the new virus”.

As the weeks go by, I’ve grown accustomed to a new normal here in  Beijing. In my neighborhood, the whirring of passing cars has been  replaced by wind whispering through alleyways. Without the loud honking  of delivery scooters, I can hear birds chirping for the first time. Many  stores and restaurants remain closed, but life is slowly coming back to  many of Beijing’s major areas.

Residents are used to constantly  wearing masks, sanitizing, and going through multiple temperature  checks. Parks have been one of the few distractions that are still open  to the public, and on a rare blue-sky day last week, I saw groups of  families walking through the park and elderly folks resuming their  outdoor exercise and ping pong tournaments (all with masks on, of  course. Watch a video here). 

Some  locals I’ve talked to in Beijing have cautiously started to return to  work, taking comfort in strict health checks across the city and the  slowdown in reported cases across China. Others are more skeptical of  the official numbers and concerned that infections will spike again as  more people come back to the city, so they continue to self-quarantine.  

- Coronavirus Edges Closer to Pandemic  

I tire of the narrative that this COVID-19 is just “another everyday flu” and that I am being “irresponsible” in saying that it is a biological weapon.

Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.

The trail of “coincidences” in favor of it being so is so outrageously obvious and stunning in it’s implications, it is a crime to consider anything else.

I made the statement "It's like a Horror Movie".  

Online comment: "No it's not."

-A response on LinkedIN when I reported that China went to DEFCON ONE on CNY eve and drones were telling everyone to say inside and quarantine roadblocks were being set up everywhere.

That's the arrogance of Americans. If you do not experience it yourself, it does not exist.

Couple that with China going into a war-footing DEFCON ONE on Chinese New Years Eve is quite telling.

It is equivalent to having the 9-11 event on Christmas eve. There while you and your family are drinking egg nog and hanging out by the Christmas tree, the TV and cellphones all light up showing the planes crash into the skyscrapers.

Then, when the government declares the military go onto high alert. It goes to DEFCON ONE and all the reservists are called to duty...

But...

...the news media repeats the mantra 'It's only one or two planes, World War I was much worse.". 

You do not do this with “the flu”. Couple that with the “on the street” Tiktok videos – videos that the military has forbidden American soldiers from viewing…

…really makes a thinking-person ponder.

Time will tell if I am correct, or if I am wrong.

Time will tell.

I would suggest that everyone take the necessary preparations and follow strict safety protocols at this time. Be safe, and let’s all be optimistic.

Be like the Chinese during this emergency.

I would suggest that everyone take the necessary preparations and follow strict safety protocols at this time. Be safe, and let's all be optimistic.
The Chinese are taking COVID-19 very seriously. I would suggest that everyone take the necessary preparations and follow strict safety protocols at this time. Be safe, and let’s all be optimistic.

Anyways…

Meanwhile, the COVID-19 is a very interesting pathogen. That’s because it has a double whammy punch, and no one is talking about this.

Well, we will do so here.

This is an interesting article pulled from HERE. It’s titled ” Chimeric virus – “Combining two pathogenic viruses increases the lethality of the new virus”. as well as the follow up article “I told you so” And while it is short, it is really interesting. I edited to fit within this venue, and all credit should go to the author.

I told you so.

So, what’s the story of this virus? It consistently bypasses conventional wisdom.  

The R0 was obviously greater than 2.6 from the start, my original estimate was 8.  

[1] Asymptomatic transmission, [2] unusually long length of incubation, [3] surface survival duration, [4] numerous modes of transmission including airborne…

…the virus smells like “intent”.

In other words, it’s a hack; it was designed by a hacker mentality. It was designed to do exactly what it’s doing, circumventing the normal channel of control.

Authorities claim a 3% mortality rate but that’s a lie.  

That 3% is only achievable with extreme methods that won’t scale up in an epidemic.  

The real rate will probably fall into the 10-15% range for the initial pneumonia phase.  

But…

But… NOBODY is talking about the secondary phase after a victim heals from the flu, the heart attack (“drop dead in your tracks”) phase.  

There’s no numbers on this at all.  

Gee, I wonder why.

Combining two pathogenic viruses increases the lethality of the new virus

This chart shows diseases according to their mortality (deadliness)  and mobility (contagiousness).  The COVID-19 coronavrus is shown in green.
This chart shows diseases according to their mortality (deadliness) and mobility (contagiousness). The COVID-19 coronavrus (the Wu Flu) is shown in green.

This chart shows diseases according to their mortality (deadliness) and mobility (contagiousness).    This is a classic  X * Y = K  graph depicting an environmental constraint.   High mortality reduces mobility and vice versa.

If you’re a bioweapon designer, though, your goal is that empty upper right quadrant, i.e. maximum mortality AND mobility.  

How can you reach that goal?

From an algebraic view, assume X * Y = 100:

Maximum mobility would be (2 * 50 = 100) 

OR

Maximum mortality would be (50 * 2 = 100)

Assume a typical virus at  10 * 10 = 100

Now assume we can design the behavior by separating it into two phases:

Phase 1, maximum mobility:   2 * 25 = 50
Phase 2, maximum mortality:  25 * 2 = 50

So we’re still within the original constraint (100) but increased mortality from 10 to 25 and mobility from 10 to 25.   In other words, traditional virologists are now dealing with something TOTALLY outside of their models.

Let’s look at one ramification of the new model.

COVID-19 mortality over time.
COVID-19 mortality over time.

To maximize mobility, the weapon should minimize mortality at first.  It will look deceptively innocuous for most of its life.  

But mortality will rise drastically at the end.  

The average virologist could be baffled by its behavior because it violates the well-known viral model.

Right now, the COVID-19’s rate is reported as 3%, 15% or 55% mortality rate, depending on when its measured and who is measuring it.

Think about that.

Behavior is not natural.

A natural virus does TWO things poorly ALL the time, mobility and mortality.

  • This virus does ONE thing well for MOST of the time…   mobility.
  • And then it switches and does a DIFFERENT thing well…  mortality.

If this is a chimeric virus, I’d expect the final rate to be closer to 55% than 3%.

Which is why the Chinese government made wearing masks MANDATORY all over China. You cannot enter a building, ride in a car, or purchase anything unless you are wearing a mask. They are taking this very, very seriously.

What do they know?

The Chinese government is taking this COVID-19 coronavirus very seriously and has made it a law that everyone must wear masks if they go in public.
The Chinese government is taking this COVID-19 coronavirus very seriously and has made it a law that everyone must wear masks if they go in public.

Now for something truly frightening…

I read this and yes, things are frightening. If you are not petrified, then you are NOT paying attention.

The World Health Organization says the coronavirus has the potential  to become a pandemic and is now at a "decisive stage". But some health  experts say that the markings of a pandemic are already clear, and  containment is not possible anymore. 

 - Coronavirus Edges Closer to Pandemic   
Man gets stricken by the COVID-19 virus while riding a bus.

So much for this not being as serious as “the flu”…

Marc Lipsitch, an infectious  disease epidemiologist from Harvard, predicts that within the coming  year, some 40-70%  of the global population will be infected with the coronavirus - though  most will likely have mild disease or no symptoms. A growing number of  epidemiologists say that the coronavirus could become a regular part of  the cold and flu season.

 - Coronavirus Edges Closer to Pandemic   

All of this is very, very serious.

Especially so when I see Americans being so nonchalant about this virus. They are acting as if they are immune and that the stuff in China is just a communist nation over-reacting…

Americans are not at all worried about COVID-19. They are just going about their normal day-to-day activities. No one is wearing a mask. No one is stocking up on supplies. No one is taking this seriously. "It's not as bad as the flu", don't you know.

The following is from “COVID-19″ What you’re NOT Being Told by Officials or Media: This will be Survival of the Fittest. The rest will die.” It’s a bit sensational, but maybe that’s what we need right now. While China is taking this all very seriously, America is off in la-la-land. It’s reprinted but edited to fit this venue. My alterations are in [brackets]. All credit to the authors.

COVID-19; What you’re NOT Being Told by Officials or Media: This will be Survival of the Fittest. The rest will die.

Since the outbreak of a “novel coronavirus” in Wuhan, China in Mid-December, the disease has spread wildly, killing many who become infected.  A LOT has been learned about this illness, but YOU [if you are an American] are not being told. 

Here’s what YOU need to know . . .  because your LIFE depends on you knowing:

  • This coronavirus, now named COVID-19, is the worst public health crisis since the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918.   
  • Almost no one alive today has lived through anything like this.
  • [It is a possibility that] literally MILLIONS worldwide, will NOT LIVE through this. 

DISEASE FACTS:

This disease has an eighty-three percent (83%) infection rate.  This means that if 100 people are merely EXPOSED to it, 83 will get sick.

  • Of those who get sick, about half will get so sick, they will need hospital care. [This is debatable. It’s a substantial number, but varies from 20% to 50%.]
  • Of those who need a hospital, about half will end up needing INTENSIVE CARE due to fluid build-up in their lungs (Pneumonia). [Of those that go into a hospital, a substantial will need to go into intensive care. Figures on this are hard to come by.]
  • Of those who need INTENSIVE CARE, and who GET THAT CARE, fifteen percent (15%) will die. [Also difficult to come up with a decent percentage.]

So, using the example above of 100 people exposed, we get 83 who get sick, about half (40) need a hospital,  half of those (20), need ICU, and of those, 3 die.

Woman thought that she could handle this sickness at home like she would the flu. Not so. This is a very dangerous and lethal sickness. That is why the Chinese set up complete quarantine centers for people to go to, and be monitored.

ULTRA CONTAGIOUS

This new disease is an absolute NIGHTMARE in its ability to spread.   It’s horrifying.

It spreads the way other diseases can, through coughing, sneezing, and the like. So if you are walking down the street, and an infected person a block away sneezes or coughs, the wind can carry that virus right to . . . YOU.   

Similarly, if you’re in a store shopping, and an infected person coughed or sneezed minutes earlier, and several store aisles away, the heating and air conditioning system can blow that virus all over the store, and as you are minding your business, it blow onto YOU. 

This virus can live OUTSIDE A PERSON, in the air or on surfaces, for upwards of nine days!

That means the counter at a store cashier, or in a restaurant, or at a bank teller, or at an ATM can be contaminated as well.  Worse still, door handles.   You’re out doing business and pull open the door to a company or store, and you have no way on knowing that an infected person grabbed that same handle a day earlier.  Now, his virus is on YOUR hand.  When you touch your face, blow your nose, grab a hamburger, hot dog or sandwich and eat it without washing your hands, POW, you’re infected.

INFECTING OTHERS WITHOUT SYMPTOMS

A number of people who contract this virus start shedding it to others BEFORE THEY GET SYMPTOMS.  So the infected person DOES NOT KNOW he’s sick, but begins spreading it to other people!!!

Doctors measure how many people are typically infected by one sick person, and they record that as R0 (pronounced “R naught”).   The R naught for this virus is between R4 and R6.   So one infected person can be expected to infect between four and six other people! That is a catastrophic level of contagiousness. 

Here’s where things get absolutely nuts:

This disease also “sheds” from infected people via urine and feces.  So, when an infected person goes to the bathroom and flushes, the swirling toilet water thrusts a small torrent of tiny mist all over the place and in that mist . . . . is virus!  You walk into the bathroom and smell another person’s “stink” and POW, you’re infected.

As the toilet contents go down into the sewers and head out to the sewer treatment plant, some of the water evaporates and comes out the holes in manhole covers across town.  In that water vapor . . .  is virus.   So people on ONE side of town, can get a blast of virus because another person on the OTHER side of town, took a dump while infected, and flushed, and the virus comes out of the sewer!   

In one apartment building in Hong Kong, a sewer vent pipe in a wall had a crack in it.  Virus went up that vent pipe, got out a crack, and infected people in apartments several floors away from an infected family! (STORY HERE)

Here is where things get REALLY UGLY . . .

Military decontamination squad going building by building to eradicate the virus.

HOSPITAL FACTS:

In the United States, there are only 2.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people. (SOURCE)

So, using the numbers above about the 83% infection rate, if 1,000 people get exposed, 830 will get sick.  About half, 400, will need hospital, and half of those, 200, will need ICU.  But there are only 2.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people.

Now, you’re a smart person.  How many people can the 2.4 hospital beds hold?   Yep, 2.4.

So when we have 400 people sick with this COVID-19 virus who need hospital, and the 2.4 beds are full, that leaves 398 who CANNOT GET HOSPITAL CARE.

In Wuhan, China, the epicenter of this outbreak, people who needed hospital care, but who could not get it because the hospitals were full, suffered a death rate of 61.5%  (Source)

If that just sent shivers up your spine, it should have.  This is a terrible reality.  And it’s here; in America,  now.

Because when you apply the fatality rate for those who died in Wuhan because they could not get care, the numbers then look like this per 1,000:

  • 1000 exposed = 830 Infected.
  • Half need hospital = 400
  • Half of those need ICU = 200
  • Only 2.4 beds = 397 WITHOUT CARE

of the 397 who need care but cannot get it because hospitals are full, 61.5% die = 244 DEAD, per 1,000 infected.

This is why a LEAKED Government document in the United Kingdom, shows the UK government making plans for MASS GRAVES!

This is also why China recently bought — and deployed — forty (40) portable cremation furnaces for Wuhan.   Each furnace can cremate 50 people per day.  Times forty furnaces equals 2,000 bodies PER DAY.

Chinese military decontamination trucks in action.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS:

Since the outbreak began, scientists have studied this virus like no other, and what they’re finding is that the virus appears to be “bi-phasic.”   

  • It happens in TWO phases, similar to the way ANTHRAX happens.  (STORY)

The first phase causes fever, cough, congestion in the lungs, and myalgia (muscle twitches and pain).   Then, it **** seems **** to go away….

… But it doesn’t go away.  

People who have been released from hospitals, showing NO TRACE of active virus, suddenly drop dead on the streets from heart failure.   

That’s the SECOND phase of the virus. 

It attacks the vital organs, kidneys mostly.  The person feels achy again, feels tired again, figures it will pass and keeps on about their daily life.  But what’s actually taking place inside them is the disease is sending them into Sepsis, and they drop dead from Septic Shock and organ failure.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

We are in for a terrible, life altering, situation.   Many, many, people are going to get terribly sick and DIE.   Almost none of us has ever lived through a real pandemic like this before.   It’s going to be heart-breaking to see the level of suffering and death.

We will see, firsthand, with our own eyes, nature’s primary law: Survival of the fittest.

Not just the physically fittest, but the mentally fittest as well.   A lot of people in America are going to die because mentally, they cannot or will not see the facts as they are.   They will REFUSE to plan with emergency food and water.  They will refuse to wear filter masks.  They will refuse to comply with Quarantines.   The mentally unfit will likely die-off at larger levels than the physically unfit.  Their tombstones should read “Died because he was stupid.” 

Government is not telling you this because they don’t want you to panic.   Noble goal, but misplaced.   

We’re adults.  We not only have a right to know the facts, we MUST know in order to make informed decisions about our own safety.

Conclusion

Some basic math skills and deductive reasoning can clearly show that this COVID-19 is a serious virus. It is also deceptive. It masquerades as something innocuous, and then hits with a sudden ferocity.

Please take note of all the videos taken in China of the sudden onset of this illness. And also take note of the car accidents that just happened suddenly when the driver collapsed at the steering wheel.

Contrary to the seemingly popular narrative in the United States, that the Chinese are stupid, dirty, and over-reacting for this virus the opposite is true. They are taking serious immediate steps to control it.

We can only see just how successful the United States is when it strikes. Let’s watch how the “talented” leadership in the USA handles it…

Take note;

This just came in on my WeChat. Translated from Chinese. It states that the ground zero carrier for the COVID-19 virus was found and identified. He got the virus from an American while in Hawaii.

Funny thing. According to the US Government, no one in Hawaii has the COVID-19.

New Italian coronavirus carrier found
  
According to the latest reports from the Italian media, patient number 1 has now been found in Italy.  The large-scale outbreak of the new crown in Italy is directly related to the trajectory of patient No. 1. Prior to the diagnosis, the patient had participated in many sporting events, such as the 10,000-people marathon and the football match, and had breakfast with friends many times.  .  

Within half a month, patient No. 1 affected 50,000 people and 10 cities.  It is worth noting that the Italian patient No. 1 was infected with the new coronavirus after taking a vacation in Hawaii, USA, and had no history of residency in China.  So, from this perspective, the outbreak of the Italian epidemic has nothing to do with China.
  
Not only does the epidemic in Italy have nothing to do with China, but other infected countries do not have a direct relationship with China.  

Researchers in the United States have re-investigated people who died from the flu, and most have died from the new coronavirus.  An elderly person infected with the new coronavirus has never contacted strangers in rural Japan, and there are also cases in Spain and Iran.  Then the origin of the new coronavirus is not China!  !!  .

One last thing…

Oh, and you can get COVID-19 from a mosquito bite. Think about that, will you.

Modern American Geopolitical Doctrine; Submit or be Extinguished.

Everyone seems to be confused with the role that America has in the world. Is it a force of stability, and a leader offering geopolitical guidance (and inspiration), or is it something else?

Long since President Trump came on the picture, these questions have been swirling around in people’s minds, and “muddying up” their opinions of the United States.

  • Just what kind of “neighbor” is America?
  • Is America a partner, or is it a threat?
  • Can America be counted on to contribute to the stability of the world?
  • Is America a destabilizing factor that might become a large problem in the future?

Here is an article that sorts this entire situation out.

It explains the military doctrine that was established during the Bush Administration, and how it has evolved into the totalitarian Military Empire America is today.

This is a reprint of an article titled “The Pentagon’s New Map: How to Know if America Is Your Enemy”. It was published on February 27, 2020 by Enrique Suarez and printed within “Global Research” on February 26, 2020. It was initially released on the “Strategic Culture Foundation” on the 24 February 2020. All credit to the authors. Please kindly note that it was edited to fit this venue, but every effort has been made to keep the content as pristine as possible.

The Pentagon’s New Map: How to Know if America Is Your Enemy

If your country is friendly toward Russia, China, or Iran, then today’s American Government is probably applying subversion, economic sanctions, or maybe even planning a coup …

or (if none of those will succeed) probably is war-gaming now for a possible military invasion and permanent military occupation, of your country.

These things have been done to Russia, Iran, China, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Cuba, Ukraine, Georgia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and some other countries.

A Second Justification for war…

However, after the 9/11 attacks in America, the U.S. Government has added another system for selecting countries to immiserate…

… and those are mainly [1] the countries that already suffer the most misery, some of them are countries that were listed above…

… but others (many others) are not, and are selected instead largely because they are [2] already in misery, and also because America…

.... that is, the Deep State which controls it, America’s hundreds  of billionaires, who control international corporations and the press in  America and not just control the politicians who win public offices...

…. wants to [3] control the given target country in order to extract its natural resources …

…. or [4] simply in order to place some of U.S. military bases there so as to be better able to invade other countries.

The New Category for war…

This relatively new category of America’s targeted enemies was invented, mainly, in 2003 and 2004, by Thomas P. M. Barnett.

Thomas P. M. Barnett is a professor at the U.S. Naval College and columnist and writer for various popular magazines, as well as of best-selling books.

His 2004 book The Pentagon’s New Map, presents that map, to show the areas, mainly around the Equator and including all of Central America; plus all of South America except Chile, Argentina, and Brazil; plus all of Africa except South Africa, all countries of which are supposedly not connected to globalization…

 i.e., they are Third World instead of First World.

…and he says that they are unstable and therefore need to be policed by the world’s policeman, which is the U.S. Government.

The United States, to serve there as the judge, jury, and executioner, of anyone who lives there.

And those who resists that judge, jury, and executioner. 

His key statement is on page 227,

“A  country’s potential to warrant a U.S. military response is inversely  related to its globalization connectivity.”

Here is the map, which shows which countries are supposedly high globalization connectivity and therefore inappropriate for America to sanction, coup, or invade and occupy; and which countries are supposedly low globalization connectivity and therefore appropriate for America to sanction, coup, or invade and occupy:

Map of American Control freedom.
Map of American Control freedom.

As can be seen there, the following countries are not to be policed by the U.S. Government: Canada, U.S., Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, UK, Greenland, Iceland, EU, Switzerland, Ukraine, Georgia, South Africa, Russia, Mongolia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, N.Z.

He calls those the “Globalized Functioning Core.”

All others are “the Non-Integrated Gap” countries, America’s virtual free-fire zones, to control (at will) so as to ‘prevent terrorism’.

America makes the rules.

Instead of international law being what the United Nations says it is, this “new map” theory says that international law in the “Non-Integrated Gap” countries should be what the U.S. Government says it is.

The Reasoning.

According to Barnett’s theory, as he expressed it in its original version in an Esquire magazine article titled “Why the Pentagon Changes Its Maps: And why we’ll keep going to war,”.

He listed these countries as “THE GAP” or third-world countries, “My list of real trouble for the world in the 1990s, today, and tomorrow, starting in our own backyard”.

And these are listed here by the names that he gave to them:

  • Haiti,
  • Colombia,
  • Brazil
  • Argentina
  • Former Yugoslavia
  • Congo
  • Rwanda/Burundi
  • Angola
  • South Africa
  • Israel-Palestine
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Iraq
  • Somalia
  • Iran
  • Afghanistan
  • Pakistan
  • North Korea
  • Indonesia. 

Then he listed “CORE MEMBERS I WORRY WE MAY LOSE:”;

  • China
  • Russia
  • India.

So, if you live in any of those countries, then [1] Barnett, and [2] the many U.S. generals who respect his theory, and [3] the U.S. billionaires, who want the resources in those countries or else just want military bases there…

…view you as an enemy, not as a citizen of a sovereign foreign country.

This is very DANGEROUS thinking.

His Esquire article says,

“it is always possible to fall off  this bandwagon called globalization. And when you do, bloodshed will  follow. If you are lucky, so will American troops.” 

He assumes that you need a “policeman” from America because what your own country provides is too primitive.

And,

“Conversely, if a country is largely functioning  within globalization, we tend not to have to send our forces there to  restore order or eradicate threats.”

On 22 August 2017, Thierry Meyssan at Voltairenet headlined “The US military project for the world” and gave his progressive critical interpretation of Barnett’s theory by placing it into the long-term evolution of U.S. geostrategy.

On 26 September 2004, Razib Khan gave his admiring racist-fascist or ideologically nazi interpretation of it, under the headline “IQ And The Non-Integrating Gap”.

He assumed there that lower-income countries are “lower IQ” and therefore need to be directed according to the master’s whip, not as sovereign countries.

The book’s publisher places online an informative excerpt from the work. under the headline “An Operating Theory of the World” and Barnett says there:

As the “vision guy,” my job was to generate and deliver a compelling brief that would mobilize the Defense Department toward generating the future fighting force demanded by the post-9/11 strategic environment. 

Over the next two years, I gave that brief well over a hundred times to several thousand Defense Department officials. 

Through this intense give-and-take, my material grew far beyond my original inputs to include the insider logic driving all of the major policy decisions promulgated by the department’s senior leadership. 

Over time, senior military officials began citing the brief as a Rosetta stone for the Bush Administration’s new national security strategy.

The strategy remains in force, though there now is a return to focusing on the main enemies being Russia, China, and Iran.

The “gap” countries are currently viewed not only according to the “gap” but also according to their relationships to Russia, China, and Iran.

Conclusions and Thoughts

As with most policy papers and briefs, they are written with long run-on sentences, and jargon. They remain ensconced within an elite and tight circle of leadership due to the often impenetrability of their writings. But if you take the time to look into their ideas, their narratives, and their beliefs, the picture becomes quite clear.

Frighteningly clear.

America is not a nation that wants to work with other nations.

America does not trade on a “win – win” relationship. America intends to rule, and it will devote all of it’s energies to rule the world and stomp on and extinguish any person, nation or organization that stands in it’s way.

You might be ok with this if you are a 20-something gung-ho American cannon fodder type… Or if you are living inside the bubble of “American Greatness”….

While I find Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump enjoyable as entertainment, the extent of my beliefs on their abilities end there. Seriously, the idea that other people, children and families need to be killed so that “American Democracy” prevails is an idea that is dangerously sick.

I am not alone.

The rest of the world agrees with me.

The American military ARE NOT considered “freedom fighters”. They are considered to be the “strongmen for the local dictator”.

That includes the billions and billions of people in India, China, and China. All who are holding on to nuclear weapons and all of which see the behaviors of America with great ALARM.

What do you do?

When you have a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, what do you do?

You call the dog catcher, and he utilizes the best equipment and techniques at his disposal to control the dangerous beast.

But…

What if he cannot control the beast…

…then what?

Well…

…sometimes they just simply have to put it down.

America has become the rabid dog.
America has become the rabid dog.

The strange coincidence that all of America’s enemies are being hit severely by the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

The top three nations, in deaths by COVID-19, are China, Iran and North Korea. All of these nations have the dubious distinction that they are all America’s enemies in some capacity or the other. What a coincidence.

The top three, in ranking from most deaths to least as of 25FEB20 are;

A purist would say that you shouldn’t include North Korea because you don’t have “official” numbers. OK, then, we can bump up the number four spot, South Korea. Combined North and South Korea is competing against Iran for the number two spot.

Next is Italy, followed by Hong Kong.

What do all these nations have in common? Anyone? Can anyone tell me what they all have in common?

That’s right. They are all enemies of the United States. Either economically (as in the case with China) or global threats, as are Iran and North Korea.

According to this report, the highly-disturbing information revealed yesterday by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)...

...about how Russian  biomedical language expert Olesya Krasilova was thrown into a Spanish  prison, at the believed request of the Americans...

...after she communicated  with US intel expert Phil Haney, who himself was then assassinated...

...is now seeing the Krasilova-Haney investigation into why the coronavirus outbreak in Iran is greater than any other nation besides China...

... growing gravely worse by the hour—with one Iranian lawmaker reporting that 50 people have died from this coronavirus in the City of Qom alone...

...—a death toll disputed by the Iranian Health Ministry that claims only 12 deaths out of 66 coronavirus infected peoples...

...—which shows this coronavirus is killing 20% of the people it infects—a beyond shocking death toll that has now caused Pakistan and Turkey to close their borders with Iran—who were quickly followed by Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq closing their borders with Iran, too.

Just an observation

This is just an observation.

It does seem curious. And, of course, according to most Americans impossible. You see that America would never get involved in global germ warfare. America is the best and would never do that and anyone even considering it is a terrible communist enemy!

Don’t believe me? You can go ahead and read the comments sections on the UNZ Review and Free Republic to observe that narrative and belief manifest.

America is the best. Anything that says otherwise is evil, Satanic, and Communist. And they have bad writing style, copies the work of others, and has horrible body odor!

I am not the only one to notice that this virus seems to be tailor made to achieve United States objectives.

 While charges that the Coronavirus outbreak in China was  bioengineered by the United States are unsubstantiated, “it looks as if  it was tailor-made to achieve Washington' objectives," according to  Dennis Etler, an American political analyst who has a decades-long  interest in international affairs.
 
Etler, a former professor of Anthropology at Cabrillo College in  Aptos, California, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on  Friday while commenting on the virus outbreak that has resulted in 213  deaths in China and more than 130 cases have been reported in at least  25 other countries and regions. 

...

 “On the other hand, many people are suspicious of the viruses'  origins and attribute it to US sabotage. Charges that it is a biowarfare  attack are, however, unsubstantiated. Until there is a smoking gun that  shows there was a human-engineered component to the virus it is pure  speculation,” he said.

 “Nonetheless, there is good reason to be suspicious of a US role in  the origin of the Wuhan coronavirus. The US is a bad actor, its word  cannot be trusted and it has a history of engaging in illegal and  immoral clandestine actions, both at home and abroad. The US also has  the motive to engineer and spread a virus of this sort in China. It has  used every stratagem it can think of to try and destabilize China and  disrupt its economy. It has also launched an incessant propaganda  campaign to demonize and ostracize China. Whether or not it engineered  the outbreak it is taking advantage of it to advance its anti-China  agenda,” he noted. 

...

 “US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has gone so far as to say the  virus could help bring jobs back home to the US, which is a disgraceful  and callous statement that shows his disdain for the lives, health, and  safety of the Chinese people,” Etler said.

 “The virus outbreak thus looks as if it was tailor-made to achieve  Washington’s objectives. The virus is mild enough not to have  apocalyptic consequences but severe enough to warrant extreme and  aggressive measures to contain it. China is especially vulnerable at  this time, during the annual Spring Festival celebrating the Chinese New  Year,” the analyst noted.

 “Whether or not the virus is a mutant strain of a naturally occurring  coronavirus or a genetically engineered biological weapon is a moot  question. China has to focus on one thing and one thing only, containing  the outbreak to protect not only its own people but the people of the  world. Its valiant efforts to do so, at great cost and sacrifice, should  be welcomed and appreciated the world over,” he concluded. 

Some Observations

At the exact same time as the coronavirus hit, the anti-Chinese propaganda campaign by America went into overdrive. All of the on-line sources tied to the (former) CIA had non-stop anti-China articles. The Alt-Right copied and disseminated these articles. It was a scream-fest of the highest order.

To an outsider this is what it appears as…

While China is fighting this most serious virus and people are dying, instead of lending helping hands and assistance, the United States government launched an anti-china propaganda assault of unparalleled ferocity.
While China is fighting this most serious virus and people are dying, instead of lending helping hands and assistance, the United States government launched an anti-China propaganda assault of unparalleled ferocity.

You know, is that what America is?

 As the usual suspects fret over the “stability” of the Chinese  Communist Party (CCP) and the Xi Jinping administration, the fact is the  Beijing leadership has had to deal with an accumulation of extremely  severe issues: a swine-flu epidemic killing half the stock; the  Trump-concocted trade war; Huawei accused of racketeering and about to  be prevented from buying the U.S. made chips; bird flu; coronavirus  virtually shutting down half of China.

Add to it the incessant  United States government Hybrid War propaganda barrage, trespassed by  acute Sinophobia; everyone from sociopathic “officials” to self-titled  councilors are either advising corporate businesses to divert global  supply chains out of China or concocting outright calls for regime  change – with every possible demonization in between.

There are no holds barred in the all-out offensive to kick the Chinese government while it’s down.

-  No Weapon Left Behind: The American Hybrid War on China 

Is that what America stands for?

America as historically portrayed is one of a “God Fearing Nation”, one that “Lends hands to those in need”. Not one that “kicks you when you are down”, like some out-of-control tyrannical Empire. But that is not what we are seeing.

What does this mean?

It could mean nothing. It could all be a coincidence.

Or it could mean that the Untied States is utilizing Weapons of Mass Destruction on a host of it’s enemies to achieve global nationalistic objectives without declaring a state of war through Congress.

If this is the case…

And, it doesn’t matter what you or I think, all that matters is what the leaders in these respective governments think…

Neocons running American Foreign Policy

Yes, if you start to play with matches you could get burnt. I think that this is something that most Americans realize. Therefore they make the assumption that the American government would never do something as risky as to precipitate a global thermonuclear back-lash.

No one would be that stupid.

Right?

Trump has not drained the swamp, in fact he has filled his  administration with war hawks, bankers, Zionists and the  Neoconservatives (Neocons) who are all inter-connected to various  corporations and special interests.  

-Silent Crow News

Hey! Have you seen the neocons that surround President Trump?

Do you think that these guys have any idea of what they are dealing with? In their mind China is a cartoon image and is harmless and would never align with Russia. It would never happen.

Right?

What could happen

Well, contrary to what the neocons want, we are seeing China and Russia forging trade and self-defense treaties. We are also seeing them in combined military exercises.

This was one month ago, when the coronavirus started to hit…

This was in September 2019, right when all the operators of the drones what were spraying swine flu all over China were being rounded up and arrested…

They began hosting these combined drills immediately after the start of the Trump Trade War in 2017. What a coincidence!

And all these drills continued into and throughout 2018 and 2019. All during the Trump Trade War. Most Americans were oblivious to this. Especially on the Alt-Right side of things. You would think that they would be able to “connect the dots” and see the relationship. Eh?

And there are a few, just a handful of observers that are wondering about all this. Though they haven’t fully “connected all the dots”…

And the thing about all this is that these are not drills using conventional weapons, or engaging in exercises to secure trade or strategic resources. These are exercises in which tactical, and global nuclear weapons, as well as full NBC environment is taking place! Yes, that’s right boys and girls.

The joint Russia and Chinese drills are about using nuclear weapons against America.

It’s all just a coincidence. Right?

You do not need to fear though. The American (former CIA) propaganda ministry is countering all this with the idea that Russia and China can never forge any kind of relationship to counter the USA…

So you all can rest easily. America could fight both Russia and China, with Iran and North Korea “with one arm tied behind it’s back”. Not a problem. Go ‘Merica! So now you just go back to work and report for your “white privilege meeting” held by the company “Diversity Officer”. And do make sure that you have all your tax documentation when you report your personal papers next month to your “government”.

Nothing to see here.

‘Merica!

Conclusion

America appears to be waging germ warfare with all of it’s enemies in the world. It is doing so under the guidance of the neocons in control of Washington DC. They do not believe that anyone would ever counter this aggression. So you can expect them to “ratchet up” the extent of belligerent actions to counter the rise of Asia.

We’re deep into a vicious intel war. 

From the point of view of Chinese intelligence, the current toxic cocktail simply cannot be attributed to just a random series of coincidences. Beijing has serial motives to piece this extraordinary chain of events as part of a coordinated Hybrid War, Full Spectrum Dominance attack on China.

Enter the Dragon Killer working hypothesis: a bio-weapon attack capable of  causing immense economic damage but protected by plausible deniability.  The only possible move by the “indispensable nation” on the New Great  Game chessboard, considering that the U.S. cannot win a conventional war  on China, and cannot win a nuclear war on China.

A biological warfare weapon?

On  the surface, coronavirus is a dream bio-weapon for those fixated on  wreaking havoc across China and praying for regime change. 

- No Weapon Left Behind: The American Hybrid War on China 

Meanwhile, both Russia and China have been conducting joint military planning exercises involving NBC. (Nuclear – Biological – Chemical warfare.)

You would think that Washington “would take a hint”. Apparently not. Unfortunately not.

Knowing what I know about China, and Russia, do not expect World War III to be isolated and take place in a small out-of-the-way third-world-shithole. Expect it to occur on American soil, and involve Americans, American cities and American people.

If you were aware, you would be taking notes at just how well organized and direct China has handled the COVID-19 biological attack. I can tell you that America would flounder helplessly. It would not take much to reduce America to a pre-industrial agrarian society. And that’s a fact, Jack.

Are you willing to take that risk?

I ask this because apparently Washington DC believes that you are fine with this. That you are absolutely are fine with using germ warfare against other global powers, and that you are not worried about the consequences.

It’s for “democracy!” don’t you know.

My Interview on the CNY Wuhan Coronavirus emergency

I was interviewed to speak on my thoughts of the CNY Wuhan Coronavirus emergency. I accepted, as after all, we are all locked up inside our isolated and quarantined areas, and have nothing better to do, eh? It’s my very first interview and I do not think that it is all that great, but others think that it is interesting. Oh, I don’t know.

In it I go by the name of Uriah Heep, cool eh?

Taking their name from the scheming, parasitic lawyer in Charles Dickens' 1850 novel David Copperfield, Uriah Heep is a progressive rock institution who, alongside bands like Deep Purple, Queen, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin, helped lay the foundation for the United Kingdom's vibrant hard rock/heavy metal scene, via combustible hits like "Easy Livin'," "The Wizard," "Sweet Lorraine," "Lady ...

Funny thing about on-line personas. I suppose in real life I am more a combination of Pauly Shore, David Lee Roth and Rodney Dangerfield.

9SEP20 Update

Apparently, the China Government agrees with my appraisal. From a message group that I belong to…

Chinese propaganda getting good. Unlike West propaganda, Chinese includes evidence. exactly consistent with Uriah Heep's version. Thanks Jeff, but Kevin it may be a conspiracy that Heep told it in real time and the Chinese officials docu youtubed 8 months later.

More videos of China taken during the CNY Wuhan Coronavirus emergency part 3

Here are some more videos taken during the Chinese New Year Coronavirus emergency. At this time, and when these videos were taken, the Chinese government pretty much locked down most cities, and placed travel restrictions everywhere else. Everyone must wear a mask, and everyone must stay indoors unless it is an absolute emergency and they NEED to get out.

Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.

Video 1 – Viral task team.

The Chinese have established task teams to go forth and tackle specific issues and problems specifically and surgically. Here we have a video describing one such team.

It was an urgent order. Many members left their Chinese New Year's Eve family reunions to get ready to board a special plane to the capital of central China’s Hubei Province. Three nurses from Shanghai Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine are in the team. 

- Medics abandon reunions to head to Wuhan - SHINE News 

Video 2 – Disinfecting the public areas.

All areas are being disinfected. Here’s one in process.

Cleaning involves getting rid of dirt and gunk where germs can grow. The friction of cleaning -- often with soap and water -- removes most surface germs, which is adequate for most household surfaces. In other cases, however, it's a good idea to disinfect, which destroys or inactivates most of the germs. 

In this case anti-viral agents are being sprayed.

Video 3 – Police drones telling everyone to stay indoors.

No one is to go outside. Everyone must stay indoors. Here we have a police drone telling a village woman to go back to her house.

The use of police drones is notable, because the drone allowed  surveillance of gaming operators who otherwise would have been difficult  to track. While old-fashioned surveillance works best in some  situations, drones in this case allowed investigators to plan a raid  with 3D intel on the target site. China is the world leader in the use of drones.

Video 4 – Regional militia and police roadblocks.

Road bocks come in different sizes and shapes. Here’s an overview.

Video 5 – Virus is killing everyone.

This is a deadly virus. It stays inside of you and then when it’s ready to hit, it hits you with incredible force.

On January 10, gene sequencing determined it to be the new Wuhan coronavirus, namely 2019-nCoV, a betacoronavirus, related to the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome virus (MERS-CoV) and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus (SARSCoV). However, the mortality and transmissibility of 2019-nCoV are still unknown, and likely to vary from those of the prior referenced coronaviruses.  

Video 6 – Police drones telling everyone to go back home and stay inside.

In the cities, the drones were out in force and instructing everyone to get home as quickly as possible.

Video 7 – Handing out face masks.

I have hundreds of these videos. Everyone is donating face masks and handing them out.

Video 8 – The virus attacks the hospital staff.

As I’ve stated before, this is a deadly lethal virus. Hospital staff are not immune. Already doctors and nurses have died. The first doctor was a man who was 62, and collapsed in the elevator.

Video 9 – Roadblocks and checkpoints.

More road blocks and checkpoints.

To all my valued clients, overseas friends and family: 

With regard to the infection of the New Corona Virus, the Chinese government is currently taking the most effective and powerful measures to actively respond, and at least in Shanghai people are calm, and staying at home, except for journeys to the grocery store , which by the way (despite media reports) are well stocked! 

Most cities in China are normal, albeit unusually quiet, and only cities close to the source of the outbreak around Wuhan have been affected by stricter travel restrictions . Although we expect the infection numbers to rise in the short term, we believe everything will be back to normal soon as the control measures slow down the spread of infection . 

The government has extended the official CNY holidays until Feb 9th to help facilitate the measures taken, but some companies and factories will reopen earlier according to the local situation. Thanks for your understanding and support through this challenging time.

Video 10 – Arresting one of the “criminal elements” who operated the drones that sprayed swine flu and wiped out the pork industry in 2019.

As strange was it seems, the complete collapse of the pig farm industry in China in 2019 was propagated by drones. This is why so many isolated pig farms became infected. “Criminal elements” were using drones to spray the pigs with flu to devastate the pork industry.

This is the Swine-flu pandemic in 2019.

Here’s the arrest of one such CIA / NED agent.

Video 11 – Rural roadblocks.

Here are some ways that the people in rural areas blocked the roads to keep their villages safe.

Sometimes its with piles of dirt. Sometimes it’s will huge boulders. Sometimes, it’s with fencing, and sometimes it’s with bricks. Curiously, sometimes it’s just with a sign saying “keep out – infected area”. And, sometimes it’s just a few sticks and tree branches on the road.

Video 12 – Canceled wedding.

When everyone was told to stay inside, many events were canceled. Here is a wedding.

You know, many weddings are planned to occur on CNY as that is the only time during the year where everyone can come together in one spot. Canceling the wedding means that everyone will need to wait until next year to get married.

Thank you.

Was the 2020 Wuhan Coronavirus (COVID-19) an engineered biological attack on China by America for geopolitical advantage?

First…

I wrote this piece during the 2020 Chinese New Year when China went DEFCON ONE.

At that time, all of us inside of China were stunned when out of the blue, all the holiday celebrations were cancelled, called up all militia, set up road blocks everywhere, and manned all the ICBM and SLBM installations on full retaliatory strike mode. China was on FULL ALERT and FULL MILITARY FOOTING.

World War III was adverted, but just narrowly.

China secured the virus, and weathered out 2020. When I wrote this piece no one was aware what was going on, but my background in ONI, MAJ pretty much told me that something “fishy” was up. At that time, I was unaware of the full depth and background.

So I wrote this piece.

I’ve tried to keep it updated, but stopped around June 2020 or so. In August 2020, the Chinese government made an official statement to the UN which pretty much validated everything written here. They blamed the USA for designing, developing, and releasing the COVID-19 in China during 2020 CNY. What’s more, they had documentation to support all their accusations. They had videos, biopsies, and some hard technical data to back up what I have collected.

Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump refused to respond to the statement made by China. They made no statments. They did not respond. The American media remained silent. It was as if China was talking to an empty room.

Instead, they gathered a military flotilla consisting of five assault carriers and marine landing forces and sailed to the South China Sea. They also engaged in numerous NGO-backed “color revolutions”, and tried to set up “The QUAD”, which was intended to be a “Asian NATO” lead by America to threaten Asia with.

As of October 2020, all American efforts to suppress China have failed. I am leaving this post as is for historical purposes. It’s pretty much well established as to whom developed and released the viral pathogen on China. And irregardless to what the American media reports, the leadership of most Asian nations, and European nations fully recognize that the United States is the culprit behind this biological warfare attack. As well as the global Coronavirus pandemic that has swept the world and collapsed world-wide trade and commerce in 2020.

Read and learn…

Given that the US fired the National Pandemic Response Team, withdrew its Pandemic Liaison Officer from Beijing, held two major pandemic simulations (attended by the Deputy Director of the CIA), and experienced multiple, unexplained pneumonia cases in Maryland and Virginia, does this look suspicious to you? 

Or is it just me?

It does seem farfetched, doesn’t it?

That the United States will risk World War III, using nuclear weapons, by launching a coronavirus inside China during the 2020 Chinese New Year celebrations? But that is exactly the scenario that I fear has occurred.

Here we discuss this horror.

If this is the actual case, and it is actually intentionally engineered and used against China, it means that the USA is flirting with global nuclear annihilation. This is nothing that should be treated lightly.

Maybe not so far-fetched. When you get into the details

Introduction

Many in the know, believe America has two options when it comes to  winning a world war against China and Russia. Also, what most agree on  is the fact that America cannot win a conventional war against either  power, or both. 

-  Can America Win World War III? A Critical Analysis 

Officially called the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), [renamed to COVID-19 for some odd reason] the contagion is a respiratory illness, a new type of viral pneumonia, in the same family of infections as SARS and MERS. 

It highly contagious. It’s of a factor many, many time contagious than any other known virus.

High Contagiousness 

Indeed, if we  compare how SARS spread out in 2002-2003, it is hard not to notice how  much more contagious nCoV-2019 is compared to SARS. 

It took SARS three  months to reach to the point of 300 cases between November 2002 and  February 2003. In the climax of SARS, the daily number of newly  registered cases in Mainland China never exceeded 200 cases. 

In  comparison, on 28th January 2020 alone, 1459 new cases of nCoV-2019 were  reported nationwide, including 315 cases in Wuhan. In just a week  between 20-28 January, the number of patients with nCoV-2019 exceeded  the number of all SARS patients confirmed in Mainland China between  2002-2004! 

Mainland China had just 5327 cases of SARS, but nCoV-2019  already had 5974 registered cases by the end of January 28th, 2020. 

- Coronavirus: Summary to date & insights 

Taken alone, it’s just “another” viral agent. Only this time it’s much stronger. However, taken in context with other events, other systems, and other considerations it points to some very serious conclusions; conclusions that are far too hard to ignore.

Everything seemingly points to biowarfare being waged against China.

Crazy! Right?

“(…) advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific  genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a  politically useful tool “. 

- “Rebuilding America’s Defenses”, published by the conservative think tank “Project for a New American Century” 

No nation would be so crazy, so stupid, so insane, so evil… as to launch a very deadly WMD inside a nuclear-armed world power on their most important holiday. Right?

… on their most important holiday …

Who would be interested in doing this?

The calls for drastic and immediate action against China are all over the major American neocon publications. Just because you (personally) are not aware of them, does not mean that they do not exist. These neocons are foaming at the mouth for a fight. They just cannot wait to go off the coast of China and start firing some of those expensive cruise missles at the Chinese mainland. They are all rearing up for another Iraq… or Afghanistan

Who are they?

The culprits are the dominant Western Powers. Which pretty much is America and it’s allies (namely Britain). The objective is to put “stress” on China in a combined effort to contain her growing power and influence.

It seems so far-fetched.

No one would be that crazy, that evil, that insane to want to hurt a successful nation full of hard-working and family loving people. No one, unless…

…they are ideologically motivated.

Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique.  It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that  you don't use when it's not to your advantage.
 
-John Bolton 
During the 2020 Chinese New Year celebrations and mass-migration, a very dangerous and lethal virus exploded all over the nation.
During the 2020 Chinese New Year celebrations and mass-migration, a very dangerous and lethal virus exploded all over the nation. [renamed to COVID-19 for some odd reason]

This should not be a trivial concern.

To accuse the United States of doing so is not to be done lightly.

All that is presented herein is, of course, speculative. I sincerely wish, hope and desire that it is not the case at all. Though the sum total or unexplained coincidences have created a preponderance of evidence in support of America attacking China with multiple biological weapons…

Wuhan virus in 2020.
Wuhan virus in 2020. [renamed to COVID-19 for some odd reason]

As it is pretty much a yearly event to have some type of flu or viral outbreak in China. The Chinese government is well-equipped to deal with these outbreaks.

But this time, it’s really… really different.

However, what is different THIS TIME is that the virus is [1] new (not a strain of an existing virus), [2] extremely aggressive, [3] launched during the yearly Chinese migration, and [4] comes at the heels of a wide spectrum of American instigated attacks on China during the “Trump Trade Wars”.

Let’s open up this discussion with something that is well known all over the globe, but hidden from the Americans inside their echo-chamber media…

Swine flu was propagated by drones

As strange was it seems, the complete collapse of the pig farm industry in China in 2019 was propagated by drones. This is why so many isolated pig farms became infected. “Criminal elements” were using drones to spray the pigs with flu to devastate the pork industry.

“Criminal Elements”.

This is the Swine-flu pandemic in 2019.

Have you ever heard of this?

The idea that drones would spread a virus was intriguing.

  • Who designed and modified the drones?
  • Who manufactured and modified them so professionally?
  • How were the drones in the South of China, equal to those in the West, North and East?
  • How can the pig farmers get a hold of the same viral agent?
  • Meanwhile the Western media isn’t reporting on the drone use to decimate the pork industry.

It’s using technology to destroy an entire national industry. And it’s blamed on “criminal gangs”. I know that gangs are powerful, but why would they ever want to destroy a national resource?

That is like Tony Soprano conspiring to sink every container ship in every port in the United States. It does not add up.

Trump trade war went “hot”

For some reason, ever since the “Trump trade war”, China has been hit with unusually dangerous and lethal germs, viral agents, and illnesses that has attacked livestock and people.

The Chinese chicken industry was almost wiped out in 2018 by the bird flu virus.
The Chinese chicken industry was almost wiped out in 2018 by the bird flu virus.

You do not need to believe me.

Just Google for viral outbreaks in China. It’s all over the place. It’s everywhere.

Ever since President Donald Trump became President and incorporated Neocon “War Hawks” on his negotiation team, China has been wracked with all sorts of [1] new, [2] novel, and [3] unusually lethal strains of viral agents. All of which cripple the Chinese people, food and livestock.

They have been relentless, and their control of the American media is such that no one notices or cares about their activities.

History

Let’s take a look at the history behind the COVID-19. Here’s a time line. Check it all out…

2003 to present…

Firstly, the American DARPA scientific labs have been working on gene editing technology in the development of advanced biological warfare. This is through the use of rare poisonous bats. The goal is to create very lethal biological weapons based upon the coronavirus platform.

  • US Military research.
  • Genetic gene editing technology.
  • Based on rare, poisonous bats.
  • Based on the coronavirus platform.

Authorized and approved, and funded by Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump.

2015

2015
Let’s focus on Dr. Shi Zhengli https://www.veteranstoday.com/2020/03/27/pravda-us-army-created-covid-19-in-2015-research-proofs-or-debunking-you-pick/ Only focus on the work that she did. She took hundreds of trips to Yunnan to study bats and she was (more or less) the person that discovered that SARS-CoV came from bats. She and many others received grants from USA and China to, for some reason, create a chimeric bioweapon. I have not bothered to do any research to find the actual grants that were issued for this project. Here is the first important part, bats are the largest incubators of coronaviruses. But it was IMPOSSIBLE for bats to transmit the coronavirus to humans because they could not interact with human cells with ACE2 receptors. So the more typical route would be for a specific bat to infect some other animal (pig, bird, etc), and that animal then infects humans (from us eating said animal). It should be made abundantly clear that bats or the consumption of bats was NOT present at the Wuhan wet market. So there is absolutely zero proof of anyone in that market eating a bat and then spreading this virus. The study writes that Dr. Shi discovered a specific type of horseshoe bats that carry a unique strain of SARS coronavirus that can THEORETICALLY be transmitted to humans. The team named this SHC014-CoV. The science here is VERY complex and most will not understand it anyway, so to make it simple they made SARS into a super virus, that was airborne, could directly transmit to humans, and most importantly uses a glycoprotein S-Spike for RBD into ACE2. Let me make this very, very clear. The research team need to HACK SARS, give it GAIN OF FUNCTION just to make this virus POSSIBLE in nature. Again, I am ONLY referring to bat to human transmission, which the paper says is virtually impossible. Even Bat-animal-human ACE2 entry is absurdly improbable, but still possible, but then on top of that to have gain of function for R0+ aerosol? We are talking about a 0.00001% of evolution for this to happen. But this is still possible to evolve. Once this paper went public the backlash from the virology, biology, epidemiology community was heavy. Scientists could not understand why the team would intentionally weaponize SARS. That part can be verified. I heard that congress, or some government body then forced the UNC lab to be shutdown, grants revoked, and suddenly Dr. Shi goes back to China. I have not verified ANY of that information. Later in that same year, 2015, The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) opens the country’s FIRST BSL4 lab. This was a BIG DEAL in China, but opening a BSL4 lab in the middle of a major city was HEAVILY criticized. Dr. Shi was named the director of the BSL4 lab. I have HEARD that the scientific paper grants/work were, in part, from the DoD, which would not surprise me. I have not looked into that. Was SHC014 leaked from WIV BSL4? Absolutely not! SARS-CoV2 shares its closest connection to RaTG13, a different coronavirus found in Yunnan bats that has nothing to do with humans and has never infected humans. The most probable scenario is that the research team created this super weapon, their grants were cut and all of their research was terminated. The DoD 100% would have had this research and no one knows what they did with that. This is where Dr. Shi should exit our timeline, for now.

By 8/17 the COPD vaping sickness becomes an epidemic, and the CDC investigates 94 cases. The illness/deaths are later to be determined to come from vitamin E acetate. Once the government identified the specific products, the vaping deaths essentially dropped to zero. So it is highly IMPROBABLE that the vaping outbreak is related BUT it could have been used as cover OR it is highly probable that SOME/FEW of those cases was misdiagnosed and were actually COVID19. It would be great if ANY doctor could go back and look at those Virginia cases and confirm that COVID19 existed well before Wuhan.

In 6/29/18 At the Good Samaritan Society in Illinois, between mid May to June 29th, 20 suffer from an unknown respiratory illness, leaving 9 dead. All doctors were baffled and have zero answers to provide..

2018 American Coronavirus Patent Granted.

Secondly, let it be well understood that after approximately 15 years of development, this particular virus was patented in the United States. A U.S. Patent For ‘An Attenuated Coronavirus’ Was Filed In 2015 And Granted In 2018. And the actual text of the patent HERE.

"The present invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising  a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in  one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or  nsp-16."  

It is an identical description of the current coronavirus [COVID-19]

"... a mutation in  one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or  nsp-16."  

Let that sink in…

May 2018

A sudden exit of the head of the “pandemic response” team in America exits. It is not cordial, and appears that he was forced out.

American Bio-Warfare Office Reorganization in 2018

At the same time, John Bolton take over all Bio-weapons programs and pandemic offices. There was a complete and utter shakedown. It went from a civilian response organizaiton, to a military offensive organization…

In 2018, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser at the time, John R.  Bolton, ousted Mr. Bossert and eliminated the National Security Council  directorate, folding it into an office dedicated to weapons of mass  destruction in what Trump officials called a logical consolidation.

Asked about that shift on March 13, Mr. Trump told a reporter that it was “a nasty question,”  before adding: “I don’t know anything about it.” Writing on Twitter the  next day, Mr. Bolton lashed out at critics who said the shift had  reflected disinterest in pandemic threats. 

-MSN

A few months after the reorganization of the office…

January 2019 America runs a “Pandemic Exercise”.

‘Crimson Contagion’

The Crimson Contagion  planning exercise run last year (2019) by the Department of Health and Human  Services involved officials from 12 states and at least a dozen federal  agencies. They included the Pentagon, the Department of Veterans Affairs  and the National Security Council. Groups like the American Red Cross  and American Nurses Association were invited to join, as were health  insurance companies and major hospitals like the Mayo Clinic.

The  war game-like exercise was overseen by Robert P. Kadlec, a former Air  Force physician who has spent decades focused on biodefense issues.  After stints on the Bush administration’s Homeland Security Council and  the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he was appointed  assistant secretary of Health and Human Services for Preparedness and  Response.

“He recognized early that we have a big problem and we  needed much bigger budgets to prepare,” said Richard Danzig, the  secretary of the Navy in the Clinton administration, who had worked with  Mr. Kadlec.

The exercise played out in four separate stages, starting in January 2019.

The  events were supposedly unspooling in real time — with the worst-case  scenario underway as of Aug. 13, 2019 — when, according to the script,  12,100 cases had already been reported in the United States, with the  largest number in Chicago, which had 1,400.

The fictional outbreak  involved a pandemic flu, which the Department of Health and Human  Services says was “very different than the novel coronavirus.” The  staged outbreak had started when a group of 35 tourists visiting China  were infected and then flew home to Australia, Kuwait, Malaysia,  Thailand, Britain and Spain, as well as to the United States, with some  developing respiratory symptoms and fevers en route.

A 52-year-old  man from Chicago, who was on the tour, had “low energy and a dry cough”  upon his return home. His 17-year-old son on that same day went out to a  large public event in Chicago, and the chain of illnesses in the United  States started.

Many of the moments during the tabletop exercise are now chillingly familiar.

In  the fictional pandemic, as the virus spread quickly across the United  States, the C.D.C. issued guidelines for social distancing, and many  employees were told to work from home.

A few months after the exercise, Canada tries to secretly import virulent viruses into China…

Imagine that!

29 June 2018
By the numbers in short order, we have in a very short time span… (1) Militarized Coronavirus Patent Granted (2) Bi-warfare office reorganized. (3) The “Pandemic Exercise”. And finally, after the results of the exercise, someone tries to sneak this very same virus into China….

March 2019Strange Shipment of Viruses to China

In March 2019, in a mysterious event, a shipment of exceptionally virulent viruses from Canada’s NML biological labs ended up in China. Canadian officials say the shipment was part of its efforts to support public-health research worldwide. They claimed that it was just normal procedure.

What is unclear is why it was done in secret, and why the Chinese officials lodged a complaint. For certain, if this was just a routine transfer, the Chinese government would have been notified. And they would not have lodged a complaint.

  • Lethal viral agents.
  • Secretly imported into China.
  • The Chinese government filed a complaint.

Keep in mind that this was during the peak of the Trump trade wars, and at a time when remotely operated drones were spraying swine flu and decimating the Chinese pig population.

May 2019

May 2019
5/23-30/19 A Baltimore couple (one hour from Fort Detrick) check into a resort in Dominican Republic, only to later be found dead in their room. Autopsy shows pulmonary edema, respiratory failure. Both had prior medical conditions. Another American also checked into the hotel on the exact same day as the couple. She dropped dead in her hotel room on 5/25. Her husband said she collapsed 30+ minutes after drinking something from the mini-bar. She suffered a heart attack BUT also died from pulmonary edema, and a mystery respiratory illness. She had several underlying medical conditions. Her husband did NOT have any underlying medical conditions. It is important to note that the Baltimore couple died first but were not found for FIVE DAYS. FBI and CIA ran toxicology and everything came back clean. Official FBI result of THREE coincidental deaths was just that.. unexplained and coincidence. Heart attacks can happen, but pulmonary edema is something that takes days to destroy your lungs and have you drown to death. So we have an unknown virus. I cannot find any information if anyone else at the resort was sick or died. Just amazing that this case from Baltimore happens and a month later there are TWO retirement home outbreaks of mystery respiratory illness. To correct something in your article, Fort Detrick received a cease and desist order from the CDC on 7/15/19, which is coincidentally exactly when the retirement home outbreaks happened.

June 2019Strange Tweets

  • June 14, 2019– CDC finds US Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, VA non-compliant with its pathogen control agreement. 
  • The Tweets from Turkish psychic, spiritual guru and ultra-nationalist. p.s. He is a known psychic and close to authorities. My bet he had insider information.

This is his tweet from 06/11/2019:

“”Decipher:

The U.S. sent an aircraft of biological weapons to China. Epidemics may begin in China soon.They should not forget that if there is a Turk on earth, there is hope.””

The NML is Canada’s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle the world’s deadliest diseases, including Ebola, SARS, Coronavirus, etc.

People have speculated that there might be a connection between these two events. Perhaps, they wonder, that the Chinese have been stealing the weaponized viral agents. Perhaps, they wonder, that they were caught and then expelled from NWL.

But maybe something else was going on.

Perhaps, something else that had to be done in secret and kept away from the Chinese scientists.

September 2019 – Trump signs an emergency Executive Order

  • In September 2019, President Trump signs an “emergency” Executive Order that gives 120 days for the development of a vaccine “just in case” a global pandemic were to occur. WTF?
  • September 2019–A nationwide outbreak of a mysterious pneumonia causes severe respiratory problems in hundreds of people, kills 54. So-called ‘vaping-associated lung disease’ shares same symptoms as Covid-19 and images invariably show the same bilateral ground-glass opacities.

September 2019 – Bolton and WHO

John Bolton figures predominantly in all of this.

The official US-WHO position is that the coronavirus originated 
in Wuhan, Hubei Province and was first discovered in Late December. This statement is questioned by Chinese and Japanese virologists who claim that the virus originated in the US. 

Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease expert at Georgetown University in Washington, said in an article in Science magazine that the first human infection has been confirmed as occurring in November 2019, (not in Wuhan), suggesting the virus originated elsewhere and then spread to the seafood markets. “One group put the origin of the outbreak as early as 18 September 2019.

A renowned Taiwanese virologist pointed to evidence that the virus could have originated at an earlier stage, stating : “We must look to September of 2019” (in America).
  • John Bolton

John Bolton (Neocon who was in favor of World War III with China) was fired. No one knows why.

Perhaps we should take a look at his preoccupation with biological warfare, to get some insight…

“About 2 years ago when he was still in the White House as national security advisor, John Bolton  abruptly disbanded the government officials responsible for dealing  with pandemics, global health security and bioterrorism. Apparently the  health security bureaucracy is fragmented across various agencies, which  means the White House has significant control over national health  security.

 This would explain the strange behavior and response of the CDC and  other ostensibly independent government agencies. They’re fragmented and  dependent on White House direction. This also seems like it would be a  ripe environment for funny business by elements of the national security  state. If health security is fragmented across various agencies and  subject to White House control and can be easily kept out of the loop of  things, there’s a greater probability that black ops could be  implemented without worry of whistleblowers and the like. 

-Global Research

The circumstances regarding his firing is speculated upon, but not one person states the real reason for the firing. It’s a big mystery, and both the Alt-Right, and the mainstream media speculated endlessly on this. Even Rush Limbaugh put in his two cents.

  • World Health Organization

The next month…

October 2019 – Top Secret Meeting with Trump

In October, a top secret meeting was held with President Trump to discuss how the United States would fare during a pandemic situation.

They discussed the results from the on-going exercise “Crimson Contagion” that pretty much run from January 2019 into later Summer.

That scenario, code-named “Crimson Contagion,” was simulated by the  Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services in a  series of exercises that ran from last January to August.

The simulation’s sobering results — contained in a draft report dated October 2019  that has not previously been reported — drove home just how  underfunded, underprepared and uncoordinated the federal government  would be for a life-or-death battle with a virus for which no treatment  existed.

The  draft report, marked “not to be disclosed,” laid out in stark detail  repeated cases of “confusion” in the exercise. Federal agencies jockeyed  over who was in charge. State officials and hospitals struggled to  figure out what kind of equipment was stockpiled or available. Cities  and states went their own ways on school closings.

Many of the  potentially deadly consequences of a failure to address the shortcomings  are now playing out in all-too-real fashion across the country. And it  was hardly the first warning for the nation’s leaders. Three times over  the past four years the U.S. government, across two administrations, had  grappled in depth with what a pandemic would look like, identifying  likely shortcomings and in some cases recommending specific action. 

-MSN

Additionally, and strangely, at the same time…

October 18, 2019: The B. and M. Gates Foundation and the WEF were partners in the John Hopkins National Security October 2019  nCoV-2019 Pandemic “Simulation Exercise”. This event is in ADDITION to the American Government “Crimson Contagion,” exercise.

On October 18th the Johns Hopkins  Center for Health Security, in  conjunction with the World Economic Forum  and the Bill & Melinda  Gates Foundation, brought together “15  leaders of business, government,  and public health” to simulate a  scenario in which a coronavirus  pandemic was ravaging the planet.   Major participants were American military leadership, and certain neocon political figures. 

Simulation Exercise of a coronavirus epidemic which results in 65 million dead. Supported by the World Economic Forum (WEF) representing the interests of Financial institutions, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation representing Big Pharma:

In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201  with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda  Gates Foundation. …  For the scenario, we modeled a fictional  coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a  prediction. 

Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and  response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic.  We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65  million people. 

Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus,  the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional  virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.“We are not now predicting that the  nCoV-2019 [which was also used as the name of the simulation] outbreak  will kill 65 million people. .

Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus,  the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional  virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.”

Several of the occurrences of the nCoV-2019 exercise coincided with what really happened.

  • In the Event 201 Simulation of a Coronavirus Pandemic, a 15% collapse of financial markets had been “simulated”.

It was not “predicted” according to the organizers and sponsors of the event.

Private sector initiative. Participation of corporate execs, foundations, financial institutions, Banks, Big Pharma, CIA, CDC, No health officials on behalf of national governments or the WHO.

  • The simulation exercise was held on the same day as the opening of the CISM World Military Sports Games in Wuhan.
  • The Chinese were not invited. This is unusual, as almost all the major viral outbreaks for the last decade occurred inside of China and Africa.

The members took notes, and then returned to their day to day operations…

The very next day

October 2019 – American Military in Wuhan, China.

300 US military personnel arrived in Wuhan for the Military World Games on October 19. The American contingent did so abismially, that many have wondered if the American standards of performance has lowered, or that the participants were there for another purpose.

“They claim the inattentive attitude and disproportionately below  average results of American athletes in the game indicate they might  have been in for other purposes and they might actually be bio-warfare  operatives, and that their place of residence during their stay in Wuhan  was also close to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the first  known cluster of cases occurred.”

-Wikipedia

And the poor showing by the American military wasn’t the only thing observed…

 In October 2019, the US brought 172 (really 369) military athletes to  Wuhan for the World Military Games.  Despite having the largest  military in the world, ten fold, the US came in 35th behind nations like  Iran, Finland and Slovenia. No video or photos exist of the US team, no  records were kept, a huge team but a pitiful performance for the best  military in the world.

 The US team did so badly that they were called “Soy Sauce Soldiers”  by the Chinese.  In fact, many never participated in any event and  stayed near the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the disease is  said to have originated only days after the US left the area.

 The US team went home on October 28, 2019 and within 2 weeks, the  first human contact cases of COVID 19 were seen in Wuhan.  The Chinese  have not been able to find “patient zero” and believe he was a member of  the US team.

 They also have sources that say the US had misrepresented influenza  that Trump claims has killed thousands, an influenza carried to China by  the US team, an influenza that was really COVID 19, a disease developed  in a military bio-warfare facility in the state of Washington, now  “ground zero” in the US for COVID 19.

 The Chinese claim, something censored in the US, that the inattentive  attitude and disproportionately below average results of American  athletes in the game indicate they might have been in for other purposes  and they might actually be bio-warfare operatives, and that their place  of residence during their stay in Wuhan was also close to the Huanan  Seafood Wholesale Market, where the first known cluster of cases  occurred.

Additionally, and pay strict attention to this…

… the housing for the American military was also in close proximity to the [1] Iranian, [2] Italian and [3] South Korean military housings.

End October 2019

It appears that the American virus Covid 19 came with the U.S. soldier, Maatje Benassi. Maatje Benassi took part in the military games in Wuhan in October 2019.

Maatje Benassi has a relative, Matthew Benassi.

  • Matthew Benassi works at the Fort Detrick, the U.S. military’s chemical and biological weapons laboratory where the 2019 bio-warfare agent accident occurred.

She ( Maatje ) competed in the Wuhan Military Games as a women’s road cyclist. Maatje Benassi Age: 53 Gender: female Maatje Benassi is a NATO admiral guard and driver (diplomatic security officer) of Dutch origin.

  • What is a 53 year old woman doing in the Olympics?

She lives in close proximity to Fort Detrick. Fort Detrick is an American biological warfare lab, and the place where the biological weapons are developed.

We do not know how many others were infected, but we know that 5 US military where emergency rescued from the Dongfang Jianguo Hotel.

  • Chinese medical staff went to the Dongfang Jianguo hotel to rescue five American military participants who were suffering from [1] high fevers, [2] shallow coughs, and [3] chest pains.

Once retrieved from the Dongfang Jianguo hotel they were sent to the Wuhan hospital. There, their symptoms were recorded, some treatment provided and they were immediately evacuated to the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport.

They were then picked up by a special US military airplane to evacuate them to the US.

After the American military contingent left China, the hotel staff started to come down with an illness.

In all, 42 employees of the Oriental Hotel were diagnosed with COVID-19, becoming the first cluster in Wuhan.

At the time only 7 people from the market had been thus diagnosed (and treated before the hotel staff). All 7 had contact with the 42 from the hotel. From this source, the virus spread to the rest of China.

So how did the President deal with this information?

Strangely, while President Trump was downplaying the news in China as “just a flu”,

President Trump did this…

Trump ordered his government to begin hiring thousands of Quarantine Public Health Advisors.

President Trump said one thing, and then in secret, did something else entirely different.

Imagine that!

November 2019 in Italy – Mysterious illness outbreak

 A “strange pneumonia” was circulating in northern Italy as long ago as November, weeks before doctors were made aware of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, one of the European country’s leading medical experts said this week.

“They  [general practitioners] remember having seen very strange pneumonia,  very severe, particularly in old people in December and even November,”  Giuseppe Remuzzi, the director of the Mario Negri Institute for  Pharmacological Research in Milan, said in an interview with the  National Public Radio of the United States.

“This  means that the virus was circulating, at least in [the northern region  of] Lombardy and before we were aware of this outbreak occurring in  China.” 

December 2019 – Outbreaks increase in severity.

The first (outbreak) occurrences in China appeared in December.

Here is a statement from StatNews (“DNA sleuths read the coronavirus genome, tracing its origins and looking for dangerous mutations,” January 24, 2020).  It’s a bit complicated, but read it over, and then I’ll comment:
 
“Given what’s known about the pace at which viral genomes mutate,  if nCoV [the coronavirus] had been circulating in humans since  significantly before the first case was reported on Dec. 8, the 24  genomes [from, presumably, 24 different samples of the virus in 24  people] would differ more. Applying ballpark rates of viral evolution,  Rambaut [one of the “experts”] estimates that the Adam (or Eve) virus  from which all others are descended first appeared no earlier than Oct.  30, 2019, and no later than Nov. 29.”
 
My, my.  That’s quite a precise peg: the coronavirus jumped from  animals to humans, for the very first time, between October 30 and  November 29, 2019.   

-No more fake news

They appeared to be of minor concern. The incubation period has not been definitively stated but, once infections began, the spread was surprisingly rapid after the first case was confirmed.

December 2019 – American Military Forbidden to View Chinese Videos.

When the outbreak began, the pentagon suddenly began telling it’s soldiers not to use popular Chinese APPs such as TicToc and WeChat…

…No excuses were given, other than for “Natural Security”.

Apparently the United States military did not want the rank and file soldiers watching locally made videos inside of China.

Everyone is getting in on the act. This was posted on 24FEB20.
Everyone is getting in on the act. This was posted on 24FEB20. What the fucking hell could a Tiktok application do to TSA, for goodness sakes?

Was it because they hated lip-synchronization and dancing, or something else? Maybe they didn’t want the troops to see the “on the street” Chinese coping with American germ warfare.

The initial symptoms were mild, which permitted many people to travel before stronger symptoms were detected.

December 2019 – My Urges.

Curious coincidence, I published this post on Christmas Eve…

The Largest Biological Attack In American History Occurred in Oregon at Public Salad Bars.
Here we look at how easy it is to unleash biochemical and germ warfare on an unsuspecting public. Germs, dangerous germs, are easily cultivated. It can be anything from leaving a pizza unattended in a automobile trunk for a week in the Summer, to actually cultivating various strains of anthrax. Now, of course, most Americans would prefer to revolt against the evil oligarchy using the ballot box, or barring that, using the second amendment to the Bill of Rights. They are totally oblivious that simpler and more deadly options are available to them.

People, there are no such things as coincidences. Especially, not with my actions. Especially things that invade my subconscious.

December 2019 – China alerted WHO

China’s early conventional efforts seemed unsuccessful in halting the spread of the disease.

Then on Jan. 23rd and after only 17 deaths, the Chinese government took the astonishing step of locking down and quarantining the entire 11 million inhabitants of the city of Wuhan, a story that drew worldwide attention. They soon extended this policy to the 60 million Chinese of Hubei province, and not longer afterward shut down their entire national economy and confined 700 million Chinese to their homes, a public health measure probably a thousand times larger than anything previously undertaken in human history. So either China’s leadership had suddenly gone insane, or they regarded this new virus as an absolutely deadly national threat, one that needed to be controlled at any possible cost.

Given these dramatic Chinese actions and the international headlines that they generated, the current accusations by Trump Administration officials that China had attempted to minimize or conceal the serious nature of the disease outbreak is so ludicrous as to defy rationality. 

In any event, the record shows that on December 31st, the Chinese had already alerted the World Health Organization to the strange new illness, and Chinese scientists published the entire genome of the virus on Jan. 12th, allowing diagnostic tests to be produced worldwide.

Unlike other nations, China had received no advance warning of the nature or existence of the deadly new disease, and therefore faced unique obstacles. But their government implemented public health control measures unprecedented in the history of the world and managed to almost completely eradicate the disease with merely the loss of a few thousand lives.

-American Pravda: Our Coronavirus Catastrophe as Biowarfare Blowback?

December 31, 2019  China alerted WHO to several cases of “unusual pneumonia” in Wuhan, Hubei province.

On December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO)  was informed of an outbreak of “pneumonia of unknown cause” detected in  Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China – the seventh-largest city in China  with 11 million residents. 

Late December 2019

In late December about 10 doctors reported cases of an unknown or SARS- like virus. These were immediately reported to WHO and thorough investigation was undertaken in China and by WHO.

One doctor, Li Wenliang, posted two notices, sent from his colleagues engaged in the investigation, on wechat and weibo, and the local police reprimanded him for inappropriate use of social media.

Importantly, he was not silenced or fined.

Instead he kept working and he was by no means the only one involved in the research.

Of  course, the Western media made a big brouhaha about a supposed  ‘whistleblower’ who was ‘silenced’, but this was a clear distortion of  the actual situation. 

I recommend that you (the reader) read this report of the 40-day investigation of the matter by the National Supervisory Commission (on China Daily).

The report noted that there are very strict laws concerning the  verification, release and reporting of epidemic information. Li had not  followed those laws and provided some incorrect information at the time.  Thus, the actions by the local police at the time had followed the law.  At the same, Li – as a member of the CPC – had acted in good faith and  for the social good. The report also finds that two of the police  officers involved had followed substandard procedures. Thus, a sincere  apology was given to Li’s family and the official letter of reprimand  rescinded.

Clearly, the early mistakes in China were incidental and not systemic.

Later in December 2019

Meanwhile, WHO sent a team to China. This team included Americans who reported directly to Donald Trump.

Which is a contributor as to the absolutely ludicrous narrative that China withheld information, misinterpreted things, and did not act promptly enough. American doctors and scientists were inside the WHO investigation team almost from "day one".

16 U.S. administration officials were embedded with the WHO.
  • The sequence of the unknown virus was identified in a record 7 days by a Chinese laboratory.
  • A diagnostic kit was developed by a German lab.
  • A full diagnosis was possible by 20 January.

The WHO notes that this was the fastest identification made in the case of a new disease.

The plan developed was a WHO-China joint plan, and the WHO urged the rest of the world to act immediately since China had given the world an opportunity to change the course of the disease.

Unfortunately, too many countries did not listen and we find ourselves in the current situation.

In China, the ability of its socialist system to control and manage a new epidemic is now history.

Through widespread testing (1.6 million a day), integration of AI, 5G and big data, it was able to keep the epidemic to a miniscule fraction of one percent of the whole population. As for the population itself, the old Chinese cultural – and socialist – reality of the greater social good kicked in and almost everyone cooperated (those who did not soon did so). Notably, public health was paramount, and not the economy. Of course, the economy too would benefit from a focus on public health, as China’s staged resumption – as I write – of production indicates.

By contrast, the totally inept response in a place like Australia seeks to prioritize the economy and make public health a secondary issue. This will have greater economic repercussions, as more get infected.

As for the China Model, we can also note that those countries that followed it to some degree (Singapore and South Korea come to mind, but also – to its credit – Denmark, which still has a strong and able public sector, despite efforts to erode it over the last few years) have been able to control the epidemic.

Start of 2020 New Year

The United States begins a massive anti-China propaganda campaign. It was relentless and unwavering.

This campaign was uncovered in March 2020:

On March 21 the Daily Beast reported of the propaganda campaign the White House was launching against China:

As the number of coronavirus cases continues to grow at a rapid pace in the U.S., the White House is launching a communications plan across multiple federal agencies that focuses on accusing Beijing of orchestrating a “cover-up” and creating a global pandemic, according to two U.S. officials and a government cable obtained by The Daily Beast. 

The cable, sent to State Department officials Friday, lays out in detail the circumstances on the ground in China, including data on coronavirus cases and deaths, the local business environment and transportation restrictions. 

But it also issues guidelines for how U.S. officials should answer questions on, or speak about, the coronavirus and the White House’s response in relation to China.

The talking points appear to have originated in the National Security Council. One section of the cable reads “NSC Top Lines: [People’s Republic of China] Propaganda and Disinformation on the Wuhan Virus Pandemic.”

Soon the mainstream media started to spread the new talking points. A Google News search for the search term "China Cover-up" now finds 449.000 results.

Early January 2020 – New Virus Identified.

  • January 7, 2020 Chinese officials announced they had identified a new virus, The novel virus was named by the WHO 2019-nCoV  (exactly the same name as the virus pertaining to the John Hopkins simulation exercise, with the exception of the placement of the date).

Which triggered this timeline…

Here is a timeline on President Xi Jinping’s “personal leadership and personal commands” to combat the CoronaVirus crisis, published in the official Communist party magazine Qiushi magazine: 

Jan 7: 
Mr Xi met the party’s politburo standing committee, China’s most powerful decision-making body, and gave clear instructions on the virus response.  

Jan 20: 
Mr. Xi gave an official command to all levels of government to put lives and public health first, and effectively contain the virus spread.  

Jan 22, 
Mr. Xi sent clear commands to control human mobility from Hubei province.  

Jan 25, 
Mr. Xi chaired the Politburo Standing Committee meeting to establish the Virus Control leadership team.  

Jan 7th meeting was 13 days before the Chinese public was warned about the human-to-human transmission.

  • On January 10, gene sequencing further determined it to be the new Wuhan coronavirus, namely 2019-nCoV, a betacoronavirus, related to the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome virus (MERS-CoV) and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus (SARSCoV). However, the mortality and transmissibility of 2019-nCoV are still unknown, and likely to vary from those of the prior referenced coronaviruses.

January 2020 – CIA Propagandizes that it is a Chinese Bio-weapon.

  • The first mention of this being a biological weapon comes from Radio Free Asia. This is an American government propaganda outlet. Formerly CIA. Now operates “independently” under the leadership of CIA management.

They made the outrageous statement(s) that;

  • There is a military bio-weapons research complex in Wuhan.
  • That the Chinese government intentionally released it to hurt and harm the Chinese people.
  • The Chinese stole the technology from the United States.
Radio Free Asia, the U.S.-government funded media outlet targeting Asian audiences that used to be run covertly by the CIA and named by the New York Times as a key part in the agency’s “worldwide propaganda network.” 

Though it is no longer run directly by the CIA, it is now managed by the government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which answers directly to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was CIA director immediately prior to his current post at the head of the State Department. 

In other words, Radio Free Asia and other BBG-managed media outlets are legal outlets for U.S. government propaganda.

This information was picked up all over the American Alt-Right media.

Who gobbled it up as fact.

For everyone “knows” (in the Conservative circles) that China hates it’s people and China is Hard-Line Communist.

Nonsense.

But, articles like this one gets buried in the onslaught of the propagandized “biological weapons narrative” re-direction.

Additionally, it begins to be noticed outside of China…

  • Japan, North Korea, and Iran reports COVID-19 illnesses.
The moment it started spreading in Iran,  it became obvious it was Israel/US rogue elements that spread  coronavirus. Similar to when the Stuxnet ‘virus’ hit Iran and everywhere  else but was denied by Israel/US intelligence at first. But this wasn’t  JUST for Iran, this was for China, Iran, and the Silk Road countries.

Mid January 2020

Trump’s first attempt was to blame the World Health Organization for not providing all information. But 16 U.S. administration officials were embedded with the WHO in Geneva. They relayed real time updates of all information the WHO received.

As the Democrats and the media did not join Trump in blaming the WHO another scapegoat was needed. Everyone then agreed that it China would be the most convenient target.

The intensity of the current anti-China campaign reminds one of the run up to the war on Iraq. The people who now claim that ‘China lied, people died’ are the very same who ran the Iraq WMD campaign. But all the reports claiming Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were just fantasy. The reports of Chinese culpability are similar nonsense.

To blame China the hawks are accusing it of three issues:

  • Lack of public hygiene
  • Insufficient information
  • Creating or spreading the virus by accident

The “wet market” in Wuhan did not have hygiene problems. A “wet market” is comparable to a farmers market (vid). It is “wet” in that it provides fresh products like fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. A “dry market” provides the complementary products like rice, flour, tea and sugar. China has yet to be overrun by super market chains. Some 40% of the Chinese people source their daily food at the wet markets.

The wet market in Wuhan was not the source of the epidemic. It did not and does not sell bats. The epidemic started in December at a time when bats hibernate. The first known case was not related to the market at all.

The U.S. claims that China did not inform it sufficiently. The timeline as published by China and confirmed by media reports does not support that claim.

On January 3 the head of the U.S. Center of Disease Control was personally informed by his Chinese counterpart that there was an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan. On January 8 the “unknown cause” was identified as a novel coronavirus. A full genome sequence of the virus was published on January 12 and preliminary testing kits were developed and made available in Wuhan. By January 13 another test and test protocol had been developed in Germany and on January 17 the WHO adopted its refined version.

In the U.S. the CDC insisted on developing its own test and failed by contaminating its test components. It then failed for more than a month to correct the issue.

The German Federal Health Ministry was recently asked if it perceived a lack of information from China or saw reason to criticize China over its changing case numbers. It responded (in German, my translation):

"The federal government is not aware that China held back any data." ... "Considering the interim development the adoption of different definitions of cases during the epidemic in China is comprehensible."

Another claim is that China somehow created the virus or let it escape from a laboratory in Wuhan where it was researching bat viruses.

But scientists see strong evidence that the novel coronavirus is a natural development and they do not believe that it leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan:

Edward Holmes, a biologist at the University of Sydney and a fellow of the respected Royal Society in London, said the Wuhan laboratory blamed by some for the pandemic does have specimens of the bat virus RaTG13, the closest relative of Covid-19 source SARS-CoV-2, but the two are not genetically linked.

RaTG13 strains, he says, are from the southern Chinese province of Yunnan, not the central city of Wuhan, the pandemic’s initial epicenter.

...

Genome tracing has revealed that the bat virus RaTG13 has at least 20 years of genetic divergence, or evolutionary change, from SARS-CoV-2, and possibly as much as 50 years, ruling it out as the source of the pandemic.

The claims against China made by both U.S. parties do not have a factual basis.

It is no wonder than that Chinese people are asking “What Do You Really Want From Us?

End of January 2020

January 24, 25, 2020: Meeting at Davos, under the auspices of CEPI which is also a WEF-Gates partnership, the development of a 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced. (2 weeks after the January 7, 2020 announcement, and barely a  week prior to the launching of the WHO’s Worldwide Public Health emergency).

The first reported infected individuals, some of whom showed symptoms as early as December 8, were discovered to be among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market. Subsequently, the wet market was closed on Jan 1.

The virus causing the outbreak was quickly determined to be a novel coronavirus. [renamed to COVID-19]

Worst Case: It's some bio-engineered frankenvirus, with who-knows what lethality, r-naught, and incubation time. 

-Woodpile Report

As of January 26, there are over 2019 cases of 2019-nCoV [renamed to COVID-19] confirmed globally, including cases in at least 20 regions in China and nine countries/territories.

Local medical authorities have said the true extent of the Wuhan coronavirus [renamed to COVID-19] is unclear, and the early official figures may have been an underestimation since the mild symptoms and delayed onset meant infections may have been undetected.

January 30th, 2020, WHO Director General announces the “Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

 The WHO did not act to reassure and inform World public opinion. Quite the opposite: A “Fear Pandemic” rather than a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)  was launched.

 Outright panic and uncertainty were sustained through a carefully designed media disinformation campaign.

 Almost immediately this led to economic dislocations, a crisis in  trade and transportation with China affecting major airlines and  shipping companies.  A hate campaign against ethnic Chinese in Western  countries was launched, followed by the collapse in late February of  stock markets, not to mention the crisis in the tourist industry.

 The complexity of this crisis and its impacts have to be addressed and carefully analysed.

 What we are dealing with is “economic warfare” supported by media  disinformation, coupled with the deliberate intent of the Trump  administration to undermine China’s economy. The ongoing economic  dislocations are not limited to China.

 There  are important public health concerns which must be addressed. But what  motivated the Director-General of the WHO to act in this way?  Who was  behind this historic January 30th decision of the WHO’s Director General  Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

31 January 2020 – CIA pushes the narrative and Conservative shrills magnify it.

The American narrative that this is an accidental or intentional leak by the Chinese is heavily pushed by American “interests”. A good example is this one…

Written by ” harvard2thebighouse” who is actually an anonymous author. But who places this comment in the start of the article…

 "An accessible and comprehensive YouTube summary of the report below by a Professor of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh’s Medical School is available here. "

If you weren’t paying attention you would assume that the Professor of Neurobilogy at the University of Pittsburgh’s Medical Schools wrote this article.

But yet again…

Un-named sources. Un-named authors. Un-named school, but a rather generic and officially sounding association. Which medical school in Pittsburgh, and which professor at that medical school? All are un-named. But look at the rich and comprehensive narrative that states that it’s FROM CHINA.

Check it out!

Given that this outbreak was said to begin in late December when most bat species in the region are hibernating and the Chinese horseshoe bat’s habitat covers an enormous swath of the region  containing scores of cities and hundreds of millions people to begin  with, the fact that this Wuhan Strain of coronavirus, denoted as  COVID-19 emerged in close proximity to the only BSL-4 virology lab in  China, now notoriously located in Wuhan, which in turn was staffed with  at least two Chinese scientists – Zhengli Shi and Xing-Yi Ge – both  virologists who had previously worked at an American lab which already  bio-engineered an incredibly virulent strain of bat coronavirus – the  accidental release of a bio-engineered virus from Wuhan’s virology lab  cannot be automatically discounted, especially when the Wuhan Strain’s  unnatural genomic signals are considered.

The American internet was flooded from January though to March with these kinds of articles. All pointing “fingers” at China for accidentally or intentionally releasing a bioweapon.

CNY February 2020 – China; Full Nationwide Lock-down

Covid-19 is a really, really nasty disease:

All the evidence suggests the Chinese authorities acted effectively as soon as they realized the danger they might be facing.

As Hubei was struggling to provide adequate care for those infected, over 10,000 medical professionals have volunteered by Feb. 3rd.  

But as the number of patients became once again overwhelming even for them, Beijing enacted an emergency order. 

On Feb. 9th. nearly 6,000 medical professionals were flown in on 41 flights from all over China. 

Then on Feb. 10th., another order was activated and each province and major city in China was assigned one or several "sister cities" in Hubei which they will supply with medical teams and support logistically with medical supplies. 

Currently (17FEB20) the number of medical professionals which arrived in Hubei from other provinces are estimated to be over 40,000.  Now, that's one thing, but keep in mind, nearly all medical professionals in all of China are still on emergency standby and have not had a single days off since the beginning of the epidemic. The medical staff are all tired, and those that stayed behind are working overtime to pick up the work of those who went to Hubei.  
What kind of evil person would unleash such a weapon?

Medical authorities immediately declared the outbreak, and within a week they had identified the pathogen and also determined and shared the genome sequence with the WHO and other parties, a sufficiently speedy response that earned praise from the WHO and scientists around the world.

In America – February 2020 – People told not to wear masks.

As unbelievable as it seems, the United States government instructed the American people NOT to wear masks. This is true even though the primary means of transmission of the COVID-19 virus is through the air.

People! Masks are critically important to controlling the spread of this virus.

You need to wear a mask. It is the best way to "flatten the curve".
You need to wear a mask. It is the best way to “flatten the curve”.

Why did the American government tell Americans NOT to wear masks? What is their malfunction? This is a well-known method to controlling the spread of a dangerous viral agent. This has been well known since 1918!

Are they [1] intentionally trying to kill millions of Americans, or are they [2] trying to “gin up” a “scape-goat” from which to generate a new war with?

Various media articles detailed the growing anger over the CDC’s  recommendation to not wear masks and the US politicizing of the  coronavirus. 

On Feb. 28, the CDC released a video on its official  Twitter account entitled “COVID-19: Should I wear a mask?”, in which the  CDC discouraged people from using face masks. 

“The CDC’s  recommendations were immediately questioned or slammed by the American  public on social media, with many claiming that the irresponsible  remarks [were] risking people’s life by not encouraging basic  protection.” 

-People
Americans are instructed to do the opposite of what China is doing. In China everyone MUST wear a mask or be arrested. In America, a mask is not needed, apparently...

February 2020 – Test Results are Reported.

  • Beijing points a finger at the United States;
“Perhaps the US delegates (to the Wuhan Military World Games) brought the coronavirus to  Wuhan, and some mutation occurred to the virus, making it more deadly  and contagious, and causing a widespread outbreak this year.” 

(People’s Daily, February 23, 2020) (1) 

March 2020 – China regains control over virus. USA holds secret meetings.

Reported new cases in China fall to double digits. 99 cases recorded on March 7.  All of the new cases outside Hubei province are categorized as  “imported infections”(from foreign countries).

The Trump administration is treating the meetings associated with this entire COVID-19 event as a Top Secret Deliberation. Apparently, some SAP information is being disclosed in the meetings and non-military people are excluded from attending.

 The White House held dozens of meetings about coronavirus response that excluded government experts because the discussions were unnecessarily classified over the objections of HHS Secretary Alex Azar, reports Reuters. Experts were not just barred from speaking openly about what we knew about the emerging pandemic. Apparently, they weren’t even allowed in the room.

 “It is not normal to classify discussions about a response to a  public health crisis,” an unnamed official from the Republican George W.  Bush administration told the wire service. 

What “Top Secret” SAP information could be withheld from the participants during this national emergency? Why is this being done? What possible MILITARY information could be discussed in a meeting about a new kind of flu? (As this is the American government narrative.)

[1]  Here in the United States, the National Security Council,  under direct orders from the White House has sealed the top emergency  meetings on this topic and classified them. 

[2]  Only people with top secret  clearances have been allowed to participate, which rules out most of the  medical experts who should have been there.

So putting these two facts together, first, that the rumors on  Chinese social media that were already very widespread a month ago or  more...

... and now have gotten the official stamp of approval that the  coronavirus outbreak was an act of biological warfare by the United  States...

... it seems to be becoming the official position of the Chinese  government.

 And that is quite concerning, because if indeed, the US government or  its allies or out of control rogue agencies within it did in fact  whether deliberately as is the most likely possibility, or accidentally  or some combination thereof, perhaps a clumsy effort by someone outside  of the normal chain of command, whatever the truth is about this, this  could set off an escalation that could easily lead to World War Three.PressTV 

And this…

Exclusive: White House Told Federal Health Agency to Classify Coronavirus Deliberations-Sources: 


"Critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go,” one official said. “These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.” 

The sources said the National Security Council (NSC), which Exclusive: White House Told Federal Health Agency to Classify Coronavirus Deliberations- Sources advises the president on security issues, ordered the classification.

“This came directly from the White House,” one official said. 

The White House insistence on secrecy at the nation’s premier public health organization, which has not been previously disclosed, has put a lid on certain information - and potentially delayed the response to the crisis. 

COVID19, the disease caused by the virus, has killed about 30 people in the United States and infected more than 1,000 people. HHS oversees a broad range of health agencies, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which among other things is responsible for tracking cases and providing guidance nationally on the outbreaks. 

The administration officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said they could not describe the interactions in the meeting room because they were classified. 

An NSC spokesman did not respond to questions about the meetings at HHS. But he defended the administration’s transparency across federal agencies and noted that meetings of the administration's task force on the coronavirus all are unclassified. It was not immediately clear which meetings he was referring to. “From day one of the response to the coronavirus, NSC has insisted on the principle of radical transparency,” said the spokesman, John Ullyot. He added that the administration “has cut red tape and set the global standard in protecting the American people under President Trump’s leadership.” 

A spokeswoman for HHS, Katherine McKeogh, issued a statement that did not address questions about classified meetings. Using language that echoed the NSC’s, the department said it that it agreed task-force meetings should be unclassified. Critics have hammered the Trump administration for what they see as a delayed response to coronavirus outbreaks and a lack of transparency, including sidelining experts and providing misleading or incomplete information to the public. State and local officials also have complained of being kept in the dark about essential federal response information. 

U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence, the administration's point person on coronavirus, vowed on March 3 to offer “real-time information in a steady pace and be fully transparent.” The vice president, appointed by President Donald Trump in late February, is holding regular news briefings and also has pledged to rely on expert guidance. Katie Miller, Pence's press secretary, said Wednesday that since being appointed the vice president has never requested that HHS hold meetings in the SCIF or treat information as classified. 

The meetings at HHS were held in a secure area called a "Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility," or SCIF, according to the administration officials. SCIFs are usually reserved for intelligence and military operations. 

Ordinary cell phones and computers can't be brought into the chambers. HHS has SCIFs because theoretically it would play a major role in biowarfare or chemical attacks. 

A high-level former official who helped address public health outbreaks in the George W. Bush administration said “it’s not normal to classify discussions about a response to a public health crisis.” 

Attendees at the meetings included HHS Secretary Alex Azar and his chief of staff Brian Harrison, the officials said. Azar and Harrison resisted the classification of the meetings, the sources said. HHS did not make Azar or Harrison available for comment. 

One of the administration officials told Reuters that when complex issues about a quarantine came up, a high-ranking HHS lawyer with expertise on the issue was not admitted because he did not have the proper security clearance. 

His input was delayed and offered at an unclassified meeting, the official said. A fifth source familiar with the meetings said HHS staffers often weren’t informed about coronavirus developments because they didn’t have adequate clearance. 

He said he was told that the matters were classified "because it had to do with China."

26MARCH 2020

A few days ago, Mike Pompeo phoned Yang Jiechi, Chinese State Councillor for Foreign Affairs.

Pompeo’s counterpart is actually Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Yang is Wang’s boss, so Pompeo wanted to talk about something urgent and important.

The entire purpose of the phone call was that American Secretary of State Pompeo wanted the Chinese not to publicize what they had found out about the start of the illness in Wuhan.

Yang’s reply:

“We await your solemn explanation, especially about Patient Zero.” 

This little bit of information is all over Chinese media and Social media. With absolutely zero coverage inside America.

April 2020

The United States adjusts it’s anti-China propaganda campaign.

On April 1 Bloomberg was called up by "officials" to reinforce the campaign by attributing the claim of a cover-up of China's case and death numbers to a "secret U.S. intelligence report". That report is unlikely to exist at all because the New York Times reported a day later that the CIA hunt for "authentic numbers" of deaths in China was still ongoing and failing:

So far, to the frustration of both the White House and the intelligence community, the agencies have been unable to glean more accurate numbers through their collection efforts.

We used the Bloomberg report to explain that the case fatality numbers, which China reported correctly, are very different from the total number of fatalities, or excess deaths, an epidemic causes. 

There was no cover-up by China but naturally incomplete reporting of all deaths. 

A day later the BBC published a similar explainer piece.
On April 3 the Economist also discussed wrong fatality numbers though it had found those in Italy and Spain: Covid-19’s death toll appears higher than official figures suggest. It also made this snarky cover-up remark:

[W]hen Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in 2017, America recorded only 64 deaths. A study later found that the surge in total deaths was close to 3,000. Many occurred in hospitals that lost power.

And elements of it are completely “off the wall”…

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/04/07/report-wuhan-funeral-homes-burned-people-alive/

Warning, this story is not for the squeamish, take comfort that it is most certainly fiction.

1. It's published by Breitbart which we know has low journalistic standards but it is sourced from 'Radio Free Asia' so it has our US CIA goons despicable fingerprints on it.

2. The propaganda worked on its target audience, the posters on Breitbart bought it hook-line-and-sinker.

3. Why do I think it's false? The sensationalistic tone, even FOX and the Daily Mail won't touch it (China must have gotten to them), they make other erroneous claims such as Chinese hospitals only giving patients oxygen because they don't have medicine while western hospitals are trying new therapies such as Colloquine. Notice the 'hero narrative' assigned to the U.S. even though China was the first to use this drup.

This is seriously demented.

-MoA Comments

Chinese treated this seriously.

Remembering the SARS troubles, they did much more.

In most large centers in the country, all sports venues, theaters, museums, tourist attractions, all locations that attract crowds, have been closed, as have all schools. All group tours have been canceled. Not only the city of Wuhan but virtually the entire province of Hubei has been locked down, with all trains, aircraft, buses, subways, ferries, grounded and all major highways and toll booths closed.

Thousands of flights and train trips have been canceled until further notice. Some cities like Shanghai and Beijing are conducting temperature tests on all roadways leading into the cities. In addition, Wuhan is building (in five days) a portable hospital of 25,000 square meters to deal with the infected patients. As well, Wuhan has asked citizens to neither leave nor enter the city without a compelling reason, and all are wearing face masks.

Additionally, the following unique measures are being taken throughout China. This is common in the far North as well as the remote South;

  • Small towns and villages are blocking the roads and not allowing anyone in or out. This is being enforced by the local militia.
  • In cities, the police are walking up and down the streets with bullhorns telling everyone to stay inside and not to leave their homes.
  • A tent hospital has been constructed in Wuhan to handle the cases.
  • A full “regular” hospital is being constructed (in ten days) to handle the problem.
  • A secondary hospital will be built after the construction of the first one is completed.
  • The military, police, fire, and hospital staff all over China are on full alert. Many are working without sleep and rest.
  • After the initial fireworks, everything turned eerily quiet. No one is going outside, no one is traveling, and no one is visiting friends.
  • All major transport hubs are on lock down and temperature screening by CDC attire is the norm.
Individual villages are laying down roadblocks all over China.
Individual villages are laying down roadblocks all over China.

The scale of the challenge of implementing such a blockade is immense, comparable to closing down all transport links for a city five times the size of Toronto or Chicago, on Christmas eve. These decisions are unprecedented but testify to the determination of the authorities to limit the spread and damage of this new pathogen.

CHINA’S HANDLING OF THE  NOVELLE CORONA VIRUS INFECTION 
Below are comments from Robin Daverman , a American  Doctor, expressed in Quora. 

👇 Dude, the Chinese government has been exceptionally good in dealing with this virus. You can NOT deliver what the Chinese government has delivered so far, unless you are the mythical Santa Claus. 

During the Western African Ebola virus epidemic in 2014, the CDC rushed in to try to find the virus. It took them 2 months from getting the 1st patient sample to identifying the complete genomic sequence, and then another 6 weeks to publish it. 

This is Top Urgency, with a virus that has a 90% case fatality rate. 

The 2009 Swine Flu in the US, which ended up infecting 55 million Americans and killed 11,000 of them, the first cases started to appear in late March, the CDC identified it on April 17, and the identification kits were not generally available until mid-May. And that was 250 people working 100+ hour a week! 

CNY 2020 devistation!

They not only address the gravity of the situation but also the seriousness of consideration for the public health, unfortunate and difficult decisions since the holiday is being destroyed for hundreds of millions of people. Most public entertainment has been canceled, as have tours, and many weddings as well.

The damage to the economy during this most festive of all periods will also be enormous.

Just received some "professional analysis and insights" from CITI Group (as most of you know a company with a very checkered past). The most interesting "insight":

"In order to shut down the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus, many countries will need to temporarily shut down economic activity."

Ominous. I'm about 90% convinced, based on a preponderance of circumstantial evidence, that this virus was genetically engineered and deliberately released into the public domain.

Hong Kong will suffer severely in addition to all its other troubles since visits from Mainland Chinese typically support much of its retail economy during this period.



Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique. It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that you don't use when it's not to your advantage.

John Bolton
John Bolton quote.
As an aside, I can confirm that no one is going out. Everyone is staying inside. Avoiding others, and all celebrations are either cancelled or muted. It's really sad.

The Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese. Saturday, January 25, is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a festive period that typically sees the largest mass movement of people on the planet as Chinese flock back to their hometowns to be with relatives. No health authority has ever tackled the challenge currently faced by China, as the country grapples with a new coronavirus just as hundreds of millions prepare to travel.

What kind of evil person would unleash such a weapon?

And of course, the Western media had a field day of schadenfreude. CNN published a report – a bit too gleefully, I thought – on the potential damage to China’s economy:

“China’s economy is slumping and the country is still suffering the effects of the trade war with America. An outbreak of a new and deadly virus is the last thing it needs. 

The Wuhan coronavirus has already roiled Chinese markets and thrown plans for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday into chaos for millions of people. The world’s second-biggest economy grew at its slowest pace in nearly three decades last year as it contended with rising debt, cooling domestic demand and US tariffs, many of which remain in place despite a recent truce. 

Beijing is worried about unemployment, too, and has announced a wave of stimulus measures in recent weeks aimed at preventing mass layoffs. . . 

The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak could spark widespread fear and spur people to hunker down and avoid going outside. That kind of behavior would deal a huge blow to the service sector, which now accounts for about 52% of the Chinese economy.” [And so on... .]

American media… (shrug)… What can you say?

Meanwhile, in China…

From Asia Times https://lnkd.in/gErEzCe 

"the speed of the Chinese scientific response has been breathtaking – and obviously not fully appreciated in an environment of Total Info War. Compare the Chinese performance with the American CDC, arguably the top infectious disease research agency in the world, with an $11 billion annual budget and 11,000 employees. 

During the swine flu in the US in 2009 – 55 million infected Americans, 11,000 killed – the CDC took over a month and a half to come up with identification kits. 

The Chinese took only 1 week from the first patient sample to complete, vital identification and sequencing of coronavirus. Right away, they went for publication and deposit in the genomics library for immediate access by the whole planet. Based on this sequence, Chinese biotech companies produced validated essays within a week – also a first." 

Point of origin.

The Western media have already staked out their claim to the fundamentals, all media sources claiming the virus was transferred to humans from animals or seafood. None of which has been confirmed as happening.

So you can pretty much ignore the older articles like this one…

The initial reports were dangerously wrong.

It did not originate from a seafood market.

There is no proof that the virus is transmitted via seafood. Ignore the American mainstream media. They lie, and do so obviously.

The media have added fuel to the fire by claiming the virus emerged from “illegally traded wildlife” in a market “where offerings reportedly include wild animals that can carry viruses dangerous to humans”, and that this virus “jumped into the human population from an infected animal”.

And a better detailed explanation…

Myth:
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is a Chinese virus that comes from bats. It infected people because Chinese people eat bats.
 
Facts:
 
The source of the virus is actually not known. The patient number 1,  the person who first carried the virus, has not been found. The Wuhan  wet market where exotic animals are sold was not the source of the outbreak:
     
The paper, written by a large group of Chinese researchers  from several institutions, offers details about the first 41  hospitalized patients who had confirmed infections with what has been  dubbed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). In the earliest case, the patient became ill on 1 December 2019 and had no reported link to the seafood market,  the authors report. “No epidemiological link was found between the  first patient and later cases,” they state. Their data also show that,  in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace. “That’s a  big number, 13, with no link,” says Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease  specialist at Georgetown University.
 
While the novel corona virus might be one that was originally carried  by bats it is unlikely to have jumped from a bat to a human. The older  SARS virus, which is somewhat similar to the novel coronavirus,  originated from bats but first spread to other animals before mutating  from there into a form that infects humans.
 
The only place where bats are regularly used as food is the Pacific island Palau which is more or less a U.S. colony. Videos showing Chinese citizens eating fruit bat soup were actually filmed on that island. 

-MoA

Those reports are also nonsense.

Bio-engineers have confirmed that trans-species “jumping” and mutation of this virus is pretty much impossible.

According to the reports, there would be three kinds of species that would have to be involved. An African cobra (now a scaled anteater), a rare South Pacific bat, and some kind of sea-creature (or else, how did it get into a seafood market?).

Three (3x) species were involved.

We know that 96% of the genome resembles a rare South African bat. We know that "other" DNA from a secondary species is involved, this has tentatively been presupposed to be a cobra. We also know that it somehow mutated to be able to exist within fish or some other kind of sea creature. 

Testing at the supposed point of "ground zero" showed high concentrations of this virus within the separate fish tanks throughout the area.So, not only are three species involved, but "somehow" the virus was able to "jump" out of one fish tank and enter others.

And not a snake, something rarer…

 The pangolin, a scaly mammalian anteater, is the latest animal to be  identified as an intermediate host of the novel coronavirus that has  sickened more than 31,000 people worldwide.

 According to local media reports, an analysis of genome sequences of  viruses isolated from pangolins were a 99% match with those of  2019-nCoV, as the coronavirus behind the epidemic is known. Pangolins  are a trafficked, critically endangered species whose scales are  believed by some to have medicinal properties.

 Scientists at the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province in southern China, reported findings  Friday from research conducted jointly with the People's Liberation  Army Academy of Military Science in Beijing and the research department  of the Guangdong Zoo.

 “This has major significance for the  prevention and control of the novel coronavirus,” South China  Agricultural said in a statement, though it did not elaborate on the  research.
 While there is general consensus among  scientists that the new strain of coronavirus spread from bats to  another host before making the jump to humans, previous research  pointing to snakes as the culprit has been disputed.

Trans-species migration is very rare, but unheard of to involve three species. Especially ones as diverse as the ones being considered.

  • Bat
  • Pangolin
  • Fish

Then it was discovered that the genome contained “HIV insertions”. Thus they discovered that not only is this virus stealthy, contagious and lethal, but it also shuts down the immune systems of the infected person. WTF?

We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses,” the report’s Abstract section states. 

Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV-1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag.”

These insertions are not random.

Their functions, all four of them, are to make the coronavirus [renamed to COVID-19] very lethal. (Read about it HERE.) Leading world experts in bio-warfare to conclude that this was an engineering pathogen.

And a rebuttal to this narrative…

Myth:
The virus is related to HIV, the virus that causes aids.
 
Facts:
Some Indian researchers found four genome sequences in the novel  coronavirus that can also be found in the HIV virus. They self published  their findings in a paper that was not peer reviewed. A few days later the paper was retracted by its authors  after other scientists had pointed out that the lengths of each of the  four sequences they had compared were way too small to be of statistical significance. 

-MoA

So, according to the rebuttal, since the paper was retracted, it MUST be false.

That’s right. Nothing to see here. The paper has been retracted. It is as isf nothing happened.

It was a bio-engineered, bio-weapon that is intended for mass casualties on a grand scale.

Initially, Chinese officials stated that the virus appears to have originated at a seafood market in Wuhan, though the actual origin has not been determined nor stated by the authorities. This is still an open question primarily because viruses seldom jump species barriers without human assistance.

The odds of this being a natural viral agent is infinitesimally small.

After investigation, the subsequent cases of the illness had zero association with that particular market.

A virus outbreak in the city of Wuhan immediately prior to the Chinese New Year migration could potentially have dramatic social and economic repercussions. Wuhan, with a population of about 12 million, is a major transport hub in Central China, particularly for the high-speed train network, and with more than 60 air routes with direct flights to most of the world’s major cities, as well as more than 100 internal flights to major Chinese cities.

The odds of an accidental release of a bio-weapon inside one of China’s largest cities is infinitesimally small.

When we add this to the Spring Festival travel rush during which many hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to be with their families, the potential consequences for the entire country are far-reaching.

The odds of this event occurring naturally during the CNY eve is infinitesimally small.

The odds of this happening is the same as a COVID-19 outbreak on Christmas eve, AND Labor Day, AND the Fourth of July, AND Easter, AND Thanksgiving. Most Americans have absolutely no idea just how stunningly impossible the timing of this outbreak actually is.

Comparison with SARS

This is a novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), an entirely new strain related to the MERS (MERS-CoV) and the SARS (SARS-CoV) viruses, though early evidence suggested that it was not dangerous.

SARS was proven to be caused by a strain of the coronavirus, a large family of mostly harmless viruses also responsible for the common cold, but SARS exhibited characteristics never before observed in any animal or human virus, did not by any means fully match the animal viruses mentioned above, and contained genetic material that still remains unidentified – similar to this new coronavirus in 2019.

Virologist Dr. Alan Cantwell wrote at the time that “the mysterious SARS virus is a new virus never before seen by virologists.

This is an entirely new illness with devastating effects on the immune system, and there is no known treatment.”

Military Weaponization of the Virus by America

Dr. Cantwell also noted that the genetic engineering of coronaviruses has been occurring in both medical and military labs for decades.

He wrote that when he searched in PubMed for the phrase “coronavirus genetic engineering”, he was referred to 107 scientific experiments dating back to 1987. To quote Dr. Cantwell:

“I quickly confirmed scientists have been genetically engineering animal and human coronaviruses to make disease-producing mutant and recombinant viruses for over a decade. 

No wonder WHO scientists identified the SARS/coronavirus so quickly. Never emphasised by medical news writers is the fact that for over forty years scientists have been “jumping species” with all sorts of animal and human viruses and creating chimera viruses (viruses composed from viruses of two different species). 

This unsupervised research produces dangerous man-made viruses, many of which have potential as bioweapons. 

Certainly SARS has the hallmarks of a bioweapon. After all, aren’t new biological warfare agents designed to produce a new disease with a new infectious agent? As in prior military experiments, all it might take … to spread SARS is an aerosol can . . .”

Almost immediately upon receiving the genome sequence, several Russian scientists suggested a link between SARS and biowarfare. 

No trust in America.
No trust in America. But China is considered the most trustworthy nation.

Sergei Kolesnikov, a member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, said the propagation of the SARS virus might well have been caused by leaking a combat virus grown in bacteriological weapons labs. According to a number of news reports, Kolesnikov claimed that the virus of atypical pneumonia (SARS) was a synthesis of two viruses (of measles and infectious parotiditis or mumps), the natural compound of which was impossible, that this mix could never appear in nature, stating, “This can be done only in a laboratory.”

And Nikolai Filatov, the head of Moscow’s epidemiological services, was quoted in the Gazeta daily as stating he believed SARS was man-made because “there is no vaccine for this virus, its make-up is unclear, it has not been very widespread and the population is not immune to it.”

“...there is no vaccine for  this virus, its make-up is unclear, it has not  been very widespread and  the population is not immune to it.” 

-  Nikolai Filatov, the head of  Moscow’s epidemiological services 

Russian and Chinese biochemists believe that this virus is man-made.

It wasn’t widely reported, but it seems the final conclusion of the Chinese biochemists was the same, that the SARS virus was man-made.

This conclusion wasn’t a secret, but neither was it promoted to the international media since they would simply have used the claim to heap scorn on China, dismissing this as a paranoid conspiracy theory.

What kind of evil person would unleash such a weapon?

The Western media totally ignored this aspect, except for ABC news who reported that the SARS “Mystery Virus” was possibly “a Chinese bio-weapon that accidentally escaped the laboratory”.

Nice of ABC to notice, but their story, if true, would be the first example of a nation creating and releasing a race-specific biological weapon designed to attack exclusively itself.

And a rebuttal…

Myth:
The virus originated from a military weapon research laboratory.
 
Facts:
There is zero evidence that the virus is from a Chinese or U.S. or  other (weapon) laboratory and the claim actually makes no sense. The  genome of the virus consists of more then 23,000 'letters'. It is  significantly different than the genome of other known viruses. (Added:)  It is not lab made:
 
We offer a perspective on the notable features of the SARS-CoV-2 genome and discuss scenarios by which they could have arisen. Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.
 
To artificially create such a complex entity and to test all its  variants would have been a program of the size of the Manhattan project  and would have cost billions.
 
Weapon researchers are sane people with a limited budget. They look  for methods to defeat an enemy. A virus that affects all humans  indiscriminately but kills mostly very old ones would have no military  value. 

-MoA

No arguments on the rebuttal. Except that germ-warfare is the only way to zero out a nations GDP short of wide-scale nuclear war. Is it really that outrageous that the neocons in Washington DC would want to do this instead of awaiting the entire American petro-dollar “house of card” to collapse?

Virus is tailored to attack Asians

Notable is that while SARS spread to about 40 countries, the infections in most countries were few and deaths almost zero, and it was exclusively (or almost exclusively) Chinese who were infected, those in Hong Kong most seriously, with Mainland China suffering little by comparison.

The Corona virus is a virus that, for whatever reason, East Asians  are susceptible to but other races are not, just like SARS. None of our  people are going to succumb to this condition. The MSM’s constant hyping  is just a way of making people panic, because people are more  susceptible to being indoctrinated when they panic. By not reporting the  race of those who have caught this disease in Europe, unnecessary panic  is being fomented among Europeans…so that they can be more easily  inculcated with the message than “race differences don’t exist, because  race is a social construct.”  

-vDare

The SARS virus apparently much preferred Chinese to Caucasians, though it did attack Vietnamese health care workers (who may be similar to Chinese in their susceptibility).

 Outbreak (1995) A dangerous airborne virus threatens civilization in this tense thriller. After an African monkey carrying a lethal virus is smuggled into the U.S., an outbreak occurs in a California town.

This appears to be precisely the case with this new virus, in that all the infected persons are Chinese. News reports speak of infections appearing in Thailand or the US, but those (at least to date of writing) were all Chinese who had been to Wuhan. There have been no cases so far of infected Caucasians.

As with SARS, this new virus appears to be tightly-focused and race-specific to Chinese.

And a rebuttal…

Myth:
Asian people are genetically more receptive for the novel coronavirus.
 
Fact:
The virus enters human cells by binding to the ACE-2 receptor on the  cells hull. There were assertions that people in Asia have more ACE-2  receptors than people elsewhere. But detailed studies of various genome  sequence databases have found no statistical basis for such claims.  People of Asian, Caucasian or African heritage all have the same  numbers of ACE-2 building elements and receptors. The virus will effect  them equally. 

-MoA

This is a mute argument, as the virus has mutated and now seemingly affects just about everyone.

American bio-scientists caught by the police inside of China doing illegal acts.

We might in other circumstances pass this off as an unfortunate coincidence but for some major circumstantial events that serve to alter our focus.

One of these is the history of American universities and NGOs having come into China in recent years to conduct biological experiments that were so illegal as to leave the Chinese authorities enraged.

This was particularly true when it became known that Harvard University had surreptitiously proceeded with experiments in China. Experiments that had been forbidden by the authorities years earlier. And where they collected many hundreds of thousands of Chinese DNA samples and then left the country.

The Chinese were furious to learn that Americans were collecting Chinese DNA.

The government intervened and prohibited the further export of any of the data. The conclusion at the time was that the ‘research’ had been commissioned by the US military with the DNA samples destined for race-specific bio-weapons research.

So the American military was collecting Chinese DNA to develop bio-weapons.

Trademarks and indicators

In a thesis on Biological Weapons, Leonard Horowitz and Zygmunt Dembek stated that one clear sign of a genetically-engineered bio-warfare agent was a disease caused by an uncommon (unusual, rare, or unique) agent, with lack of an epidemiological explanation. I.e. no clear idea of the source.

They also mentioned an “unusual manifestation and/or geographic distribution”, of which race-specificity would be one.

Recent disease outbreaks that would seem to possibly qualify as potential bio-warfare agents are AIDS, SARS, MERS, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Hantavirus, Lyme Disease, West Nile Virus, Ebola, Polio (Syria), Foot and Mouth Disease, the Gulf War Syndrome and ZIKA.

In fact, thousands of prominent scientists, physicians, virologists and epidemiologists on many continents have concurred that all these viruses were lab-created and their release deliberate. The recent swine flu epidemic in China has the hallmarks as well, with circumstantial evidence of the outbreak raising only questions.

Curious questions…

There was another curiosity in this case, in that additionally to the usual criticisms of China being inactive or secretive, several US media replicated accusations from “a senior US State Department official” claiming Washington was “still concerned” about transparency in the Chinese government on the Wuhan coronavirus.

This virus has a long incubation time, and the symptoms appear to be of no concern. Then it strikes suddenly with lethal affect.

Other articles claimed the US CDC was “concerned that Chinese health officials have still not released basic epidemiological data about the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, making it more difficult to contain the outbreak.”

There is no substantial reason that officials at any level of the US State Department should concern themselves with a virus outbreak in a foreign country.

Their criticisms were surprisingly detailed, demanding specifics on the number of infections directly from contact with the Wuhan market, the number of person-to-person infections, the precise incubation period from exposure to the onset of symptoms, the point at which persons become contagious.

The questions were presented in benevolent terms of helping the Chinese medical authorities deal with the virus, though it was already self-evident China had no need to be lectured on such basics. I must say my sense from reading the articles in question was that the Americans were fishing for something unstated, very possibly the crucial details of their handiwork.

I must say my sense from reading the articles in question was  that the  Americans were fishing for something unstated, very possibly  the  crucial details of their handiwork. 

As of the date of writing, details are still too scarce to form definitive conclusions but, in every such case, once the smoke clears there are many unanswered questions that challenge the official Western narrative, but it’s old news and the media have already staked out their ground so the matter dies in the Western public mind, but not in China.

Yet, why all this United States propaganda promotion?

As the coronavirus outbreak has come to dominate headlines in recent weeks, several media outlets have promoted claims that the reported epicenter of the outbreak in Wuhan, China was also the site of laboratories allegedly linked to a Chinese government biowarfare program. 

However, upon further examination of the sourcing for this serious claim, these supposed links between the outbreak and an alleged Chinese bioweapons program have come from two highly dubious sources.  

For instance, the first outlet to report on this claim was Radio Free Asia, the U.S.-government funded media outlet targeting Asian audiences that used to be run covertly by the CIA and named by the New York Times as a key part in the agency’s “worldwide propaganda network.” 

Though it is no longer run directly by the CIA, it is now managed by the government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which answers directly to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was CIA director immediately prior to his current post at the head of the State Department.  (How dubious, coincidence ??? - my view)

-LinkedIN Anonymous  

The Argument for Bioweapon use to suppress China.

First of all Pompeo admitted that the COVID-19 was a “live exercise” on 30MAR20202.

Given the multiple and serious woes that China has suffered from during 2019, it comes as no surprise that the Western powers would continue to suppress China in an effort to regain global dominance.

  • HK “pro democracy” riots fully funded and instigated by the NED / CIA.
  • Swine Flu decimated the vast bulk of the Chinese pork industry.
  • Bird Flu decimated huge numbers of the Chinese chicken industry.
  • NED support and training of Uyghur Muslim extremists.

If there’s one last hit to the economy that China doesn’t need right now, it’s a global pandemic that ‘supposedly’ originated in Wuhan.

Wuhan is the capital of Central China’s Hubei province (see map below with the red marker identifying Wuhan). For those of you who are unaware, Wuhan is located right in the center of China’s highly productive southeast region—the economic powerhouse of the nation.  It is the population center of China.

…But not the center of where the local Chinese eat strange critters. That is in the deep South, near Vietnam.

Map showing where Wuhan is located inside of China.

This strategic location is an ideal location to launch a biological attack because of the easily engineered vectors of disease dissemination. After all, isn’t that a staple of Hollywood Science Fiction movies like  12 Monkeys (1995)?

Scene from "12 Monkeys". In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.
Scene from “12 Monkeys”. In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.

The idea of paralyzing China’s economic and financial sectors is, after all, a primary goal of this essentially Anglo-American black operation.

Long Incubation Phase
The main concern for nCoV-2019  is relatively extended incubation phase of the virus, which can last  from 5 to 14 days, during which a person is contagious. Moreover, there  is already evidence of clinically silent cases (no symptoms), which will  make prevention even more challenging.

In any case, full-scale  quarantine to cope with Wuhan crisis seems to be a legitimate measure,  supported both domestically and in the international community.  

In light of the [1] US-staged Hong Kong protests, [2] U.S. tariff regime against China, [3] threat of economic sanctions against nations working with Huawei, [4] CIA-inflamed Xinjiang conflict involving the Muslim Uyghurs, [5] provocative sailing of US Navy warships through the Taiwan Strait, [6] transparent political prosecution of Huawei’s CFO, and the [7] ravaging of China’s pig farms by a bioengineered virus, etc., the Chinese government has been under withering attack since 2018.

When so many debilitating assaults are suspiciously happening at once, what can China do?

SARS conspiracy theory

The original SARS pandemic that took place in China after the turn of the millennium was also well-known in bio-medical circles as a naked act of biowarfare. 

Like this year’s coronavirus bio-attack in Wuhan, the bioengineered SARS outbreak also involved a highly coordinated campaign of propaganda and disinformation.

However, the administration of Xi Jinping is much too concerned about the panic that would inevitably result if the populace was informed of a full-blown bioweapon attack. 

The precipitating chaos would simply overwhelm the government in Beijing which is already on serious overload because of the seemingly endless interference by the Anglo-American Axis.

The SARS outbreak that occurred from 2002 to 2003 has already shown that China is not willing to release the hard scientific evidence that proves the existence a bioengineered coronavirus. This favors the antagonists.

The following excerpt from Wikipedia explains some of the background of SARS—the Severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic that took place primarily in mainland China and Hong Kong, but also in Canada and other countries.

Wuhan Coronavirus of 2020

The rapidly spreading Wuhan coronavirus, also known as Novel coronavirus, that was first reported in 2019 has all the hallmarks of yet another bioengineered virus in a U.S. Military laboratory.

What follows is a short description form Wikipedia of this Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

Wikipedia on this Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
Wikipedia on this Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

Time will tell whether this deadly coronavirus was released into the Chinese population with the intent to kill and sicken, scare and intimidate.  We really do not know what the actual purpose was.

However, given the lethal nature of this viral agent, the history associated with the American bio-weapons engineering, and public statements made by American neocon leaders, can can pretty much guess the intention;

Complete and utter devastation of the Chinese population and the collapse of the Chinese government.

The intimidation phase of such an ongoing black operation is certainly aimed at the government in Beijing which refuses to be coerced and threatened by the Trump administration.

Because the highly disruptive, Western-backed Hong Kong protests have yet to yield the result desired by the U.S. State Department, it was only a matter of time before the C.I.A. implemented Plan B…

…or is this Plan C?

…or D?


Why China?

The $64,000 question here is: Why is China always the epicenter for so many strains and variations of coronaviruses, influenzas, pneumonia viruses and other highly contagious infection agents that strike the major commercial centers on southeastern mainland.

What’s particularly suspicious about all of these outbreaks in China is that they are each described by the Mainstream Media as quite dangerous to human health.  The mortality rate in the beginning of these eventual pandemics is especially high, as if by purposeful design of the bioengineers. 

In this way, the whole world is eventually drawn into a pandemic melodrama that’s certainly designed to fear-monger. 

Hence, more of these endless distractions serve the specific purpose of taking the attention away from real problems caused by governments everywhere.  But it’s the numerous criminal conspiracies at work and shocking scandals that the elites seek to cover up by any means possible.

There are relatively few military bioweaponry labs in the world that have the capability to create such a fatal and infectious virus. 

Thus, when the truth is confirmed about the Wuhan flu, there will be only a few culprits who are behind these assaults against the Chinese people.  In reality, should this Wuhan coronavirus outbreak become a full-blown epidemic in China it could represent an attempt to commit genocide. 

Likewise, if it becomes a bona fide pandemic, it could ultimately be labeled a crime against humanity.


“It’s really quite easy for any of the numerous U.S. military bioweapon labs to bioengineer a deadly super-virus and then release it in a city as large as Wuhan, China.  

Acts of bioterrorism like this are carried out all the time.  As a matter of historical fact, the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 actually originated at Fort Riley, Kansas where soldiers reported to the Army’s largest training facility during World War I.  

The soldiers who were [DELIBERATELY] infected with the H1N1 influenza virus then served as countless vectors of dissemination for the pandemic that ultimately killed as many as 100 million people worldwide.  That single US-executed biowarfare operation against humanity was arguably the deadliest depopulation event in human history.”

THE DARK SIDE

This is from UNZ, a great website, worthy of visiting.

  • Since the 20th century, the West has been and continues to be the most avid users of bioweapons. The United States is the biggest user of biochemical weapons in history, including in Cuba; Iraq, Syria and Iran (by proxy); Serbia, Japan, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and America has eagerly used them on its own people, apparently more often than we care to admit.
  • In the 1940s the United States purposely infected thousands of Guatemala, natives with syphilis and gonorrhea, to test these human guinea pigs with antibiotics. Of course, these suffering souls were sexually active for the rest of their lives and unwittingly infected everybody they came in contact with, including spouses.
  • At Tuskegee, hundreds of American blacks were allowed to carry syphilis from the 1930s to the 1970s, to act as human petri dishes. This was to track the progress of the disease and observe the eventual macabre deaths that this bacteria is wont to inflict on its victims, in its final stages: insanity, nervous disorders, liver and heart disease.
  • The United States has a long, illustrious history of using bioterrorism around the world. Cuba has been a favorite target and has seen hundreds of thousands of its people infected with Dengue fever as well as its entire swine herd wiped out by swine fever.
  • The United States of America holds the exclusive patent on the Ebola virus: US patent number 20120251502, is owned by the American government. Ebola has been Uncle Sam’s bioweapon plaything since 1976, when it was discovered in Zaire and shipped 3,500km by America’s bio-warfare lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland, then to West Africa for cultivation and development (via the UK’s bio-warfare labs in Porton Down and with the help of the World “Health” Organization), specifically, to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the current epicenters of the Ebola epidemic on the Great Continent.
  • The 2014 Ebola outbreak came as a result of another rogue US Military operation in austral Africa from which the Soros/Gates-funded Kenema bioweapons lab in Sierra Leone was involved.
  • The US has a long history of biowarfare against China. The Report of the International Scientific Commission for the Investigation of Facts Concerning Bacteriological Warfare in Korea and China (ISC report) validated claims by North Korea and China that the US had launched bacteriological warfare (biological warfare, BW) attacks against both troops and civilian targets in those two countries over a period of months in 1952. This 667 page truth commission report has the dubious distinction of being the most vilified written document of the 20th Century. The report’s release in September 1952 brought a withering international attack. It was roundly denounced by American and British politicians of the highest rank, ridiculed by four star generals, accused of fraud by celebrated pundits, misquoted by notable scientists, and scorned by a compliant Western press. In subsequent decades, volumes placed in American university library collections were quietly and permanently removed from circulation. When the rare copy came up for auction, it was discretely purchased and disappeared from public view.
  • In March 2019, in a mysterious event, a shipment of exceptionally virulent viruses from Canada’s NML biological labs ended up in China. Canadian officials say the shipment was part of its efforts to support public-health research worldwide. They claimed that it was just normal procedure. What is unclear is why it was done in secret, and why the Chinese officials lodged a complaint. For certain, if this was just a routine transfer, the Chinese government would have been notified. In July 2019, a group of Chinese virologists were forcibly dispatched from the Canadian National Microbiology Laboratory (NML). The NML is Canada’s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle the world’s deadliest diseases, including Ebola, SARS, Coronavirus, etc.

Americans have no FUCKING idea how bad things can get. Do not believe that fighting for “Oligarch ruled global democracy” is worth the ultimate “push back”.

Contrary Opinions

I do not have all the answers. All I did was sleuth though public, but forgotten articles, and stung things together into a thesis. There are other opinions, of course.

[1] It’s natural, but the bad timing is coincidental.

Of course, this theory omits a number of "elephants in the room".

[1] These markets date back 5000 years. Why would there be an out break now? Why not during the time of King Nebuchadnezzar?

[2] If it is natural, then why would the United States patent it?

[3] Why are all these viral outbreaks against Chinese people and livestock? Why nothing else? Why no dogs and cats, donkeys and horses and birds? Why so darn selective?

[4] Why Wuhan; the geographic nexus of the Han race? Why not Guangzhou which is bigger, has more such markets, and has a year-round environment that is conducive to viral growth?

[5] Species jumping is rare. Tri-species jumping is unheard of, and the HIV inserts are not a natural occurrence.

[6] Why did China, a nation of merit, immediately treat this as a bio-weapon and go into immediate DEFCON ONE lockdown? To believe the "natural" origination of this virus is to assume that the Chinese are idiots, stupid, and moronic. Or, at best, over-reacting.

To accept this narrative, you must also accept that the world is filled with coincidences that should not be explained.

Bats? Really?

... many in the U.S. appear to believe bat-eating Chinese people caused  the current COVID-19 pandemic.  Since the epidemic first started in  Wuhan, Western social media have been lit up by links to several videos  of Chinese citizens eating bat soup, with not so subtle racial  insinuations that it is the Chinese people and their culture that have  caused the COVID-19 epidemic.

 But Chinese people do not have a tradition of eating bats.  

Journalists from France 24 TV recently tracked down the makers of five  of the six most-shared videos.  They found that none of these videos  were filmed near Wuhan, or in China, as many had claimed.  Instead, all  videos were filmed in Palau or Indonesia, in locales where bats have  traditionally been consumed as food,[4] and where adventurous visitors  from around the world would be welcomed to sample local, traditional  cuisine. 

- Will COVID-19 be Known as “the Chinese Virus” or “the Trump Virus”? 

Additionally, it’s not “so bad” or “so dangerous”. Here’s a chart that I found on a conservative web site called MoA;

The Wuhan virus is not that dangerous. It's all just a lot of hype.
The Wuhan virus is not that dangerous. It’s all just a lot of hype.

To agree with this assessment then you must accept the idea that the Chinese government are idiots and over-reacting.

[2] It’s a biological weapon, but it’s China’s fault. They stole it from the USA and accidentally released it.

This is the narrative that is being pushed by the American propaganda organ “Voice of America, and disseminated throughout the American Alt-Right outlets.

This narrative accepts the idea that the virus is man-made. However, it argues that the Chinese are not smart enough to develop weapons on their own, and are too inept to handle them.

The Chinese are the most merit-driven people on the world. This is true whether they are in school or working in a company. This narrative is something that does not fit with any Chinese that I know about. It's like that narrative the Trump hired low-class strippers and asked them to pee on a hotel bed. You might not like Trump, but this does not fit his personality.

[3] It’s a biological weapon, but it’s China’s fault. They had a biological weapons lab in the middle of one of the largest centrally located Chinese cities and it somehow escaped.

This is also the narrative that is also being pushed by the American propaganda organ “Voice of America“, and disseminated throughout the American Alt-Right outlets.

But…

The facility in Wuhan is NOT a military or development facility. It is a civilian diagnostic facility.

The  difference between a military development facility and a public  diagnostic facility is stark. It is the difference from a factory that  makes automobiles, and a local automotive service center.

"One of the goals was to build a BSL-4 laboratory that meets the national  and international standards for diagnosing, researching, and developing  antiviral drugs and vaccines while additionally preserving highly pathogenic BSL-4 agents for future scientific research." 

It is a diagnostic facility. It is used to develop antiviral drugs. Read for yourself.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6478205/

Civilian viral research facilities are registered with the UN. Here is a List of BSL-4 Facilities.

https://www.liquisearch.com/biosafety_level/list_of_bsl-4_facilities

Military viral research facilities are secret. While in the United States there MIGHT  be some shared use facilities, I remain very skeptical about that  concept. Knowing what I know about severely classified programs, it's  just not going to happen.

There is a fundamental difference between top-secret military warfare development, and civilian diagnostic facilities. 

Military  facilities do not need to be registered with any agency. Certainly,  unless specified by treaty, military development complexes are not  identified as they operate outside the public domain. You will notice  that no North Korean labs or facilities are listed, nor are any Chinese  military facilities.

If the Chinese were  developing a militarized viral agent, they would not use a monitored  diagnostic facility. They would use a classified military base, and they  would not advertise it's location. It would be in one or more of these  facilities...

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/army-fac.htm

What  most people do not understand is that most of the "dirty global  politics" that this Wuhan event signifies occurs outside the public  domain. Like the movie "Men In  Black", the public is kept ignorant  intentionally. In America that is why there are Special Access Programs,  and branches that are "waived" and "unacknowledged".

Now,  all that being said, the argument against an accidental release from  the BSL-4 Wuhan facility is that it is a new viral agent. It's new. It's  militarized. 

It cannot come out of a diagnostic facility.

That's  silly. That's like asking your local automobile clinic down the street  to build you a new car with custom details and new type of engine and custom transmission.  Silly. 
Comparison between the Wuhan diagnostic facility and an American R&D facility.
Comparison between the Wuhan diagnostic facility and an American R&D weapons facility. Note the difference in the number of buildings, the campus size and distance from public roads.

And…

Editors’ note, January 2020: Many stories have promoted an  unverified theory that the Wuhan lab discussed in this article played a  role in the coronavirus outbreak that began in December 2019. Nature knows of no evidence that this is true.

-Inside the Chinese lab poised to study world's most dangerous pathogens 

And of course, you have my conclusion…

Conclusion

America is waging biological warfare with China.

This time, it was really, really serious. Far worse than what started World War I, and World War II.

It is being done without an Act of War, and Congressional approval.

Luckily China took immediate steps, but the net-citizens, the world, and the people of Asia are on alert.

This is very, very dangerous, as the moment it is proved, both China and Russia will be forced to retaliate. Their people will not tolerate passive acceptance of a WMD attack on their nation.

It does not matter if it is nuclear, chemical or biological. It will not be permitted to pass without consequence.

For there HAS to be some consequences. If there isn’t any, things will only get worse.

Who ever thought this up was pure evil. It follows the same story-line as the movie “12 Monkeys” where a a bio-weapon was released directly in front of the Christmas holiday in all the major cities of the world.

Not only was the Wuhan coronavirus surreptitiously disseminated to serve as a major distraction from a rapidly collapsing Global Economic & Financial System

…this state-sponsored black operation also represents the worst of predatory capitalism conducted as a means of generating revenue. 

It occurred and peaked during the one most important day in the year in China; CNY eve. The odds of this occurrence being natural is rather small.

Look at the dissemination and propagation visually.

Look at the dissemination and propagation visually.
Look at the dissemination and propagation visually.

In China, CNY eve is roughly equivalent to a combination of Christmas eve, the fourth of July and Labor day. This is THE most critical time of the year for the Chinese people. It is a time when the “great migration” begins and everyone returns home. And there are many many public and private parties. It’s a time when drunken buddies hug each other splash alcohol all over each other and spend times with everyone. It is a time where everyone is interacting with everyone else.

The odds of this happening is 1 in 365.

Think about that! A release of a bio-weapon when the vast majority of Chinese are traveling and enjoying time together at parties.

What kind of evil person would unleash such a weapon?

Meanwhile, the narrative that this is an escaped bio-weapon is being heavily promoted by the Indian mainstream media (an individual funded by grants by an American institution). As well as some Australian news and opinion pieces (also funded by American interests).

Except, for one thing…

The bio-warfare labs are located in Xinjiang. Not in Wuhan… a city more than twice the size of New York City.

If you want to believe that a bio-warfare development lab is placed in a major city, then I have a bridge to sell you. No nation, especially not one run by merit, will put such a dangerous and lethal development center in the middle of such a large and important city.

Key Points...

American military members apparently unleashed an American patented, and Canadian engineered Biological Weapon in the major city of Wuhan designed to coincide with the yearly CNY mass migration. We know their names, and where they stayed and their actions. ALL Chinese cities are wired with video recording systems pipe-lined to the local police. 

Like HK was able to record the Trump Administration cutting deals with separatist radicals, the Chinese have full documented evidence of what occurred.

China is now coping with this situation. 

Once the situation settles, China will continue with negotiations with the soviets in Russia. They will conspire on a solution to reduce or to protect Asia from the American "pro democracy" internationalism. 

All Americans should take note. Nothing ever goes unpunished.

Lastly, the timing of the deadly virus that ravaged China’s pig farms last year quite predictably triggered a call for the development of a preventative vaccine.  What the following news report neglected to state was that the mass slaughter of pigs, in a society that demands LOTS of pork, was cynically planned to manufacture the urgent need for yet another vaccine.

The bottom line here is that the Wuhan coronavirus is likely a race-targeting bioweapon strategically unleashed throughout China by U.S. military labs

And now…

And now… it has mutated, and created some deadly strains that can disappear and reappear, and do all kinds of funky things.

It has come back to bite America on it’s ass. Payback is a bitch.

American propaganda onslaught…

"For all the missteps and misinformation Beijing has been accused of, London and Washington are just as guilty. I am not here to defend the Chinese government. I am here to decry the self-righteousness and hubris of the free world leaders who should have set the bars higher. Yet, they have failed pathetically."

On a personal note…

There are various comments sent to me by enraged readers. They do not like what I have written.

I do not post comments I do not approve up. This is my blog and I am God here.

They claim that I am America-bashing and that all that I am saying is an attack on the great American “democracy”. They argue that China is a Communist Dictatorship (it isn’t, it’s a Republic nearly identical to the setup in America in 1776), and that everything I write is a lie.

I am an American expat. I am also a former Navy “brown shoe” and as patriotic as can be. Check out my other SHTF posts. I am a proud gun-toting, Trump loving “deplorable”.

The desire for the United States to maintain it’s grip on the world should not be in question. That is understandable. What should be, however, is how it is being handled.

You should not try to raise yourself up by pushing others down.

This course that the United States is on is dangerous and fool-hardy. I worry that it will eventually result in a “push back” that America, the nation that I love, can never recover from.

I know things that most average Americans do not know. DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH THE THREAT OF DANGER. It’s foolish.

Cts have the ability to alter gravity. They can become lighter at will. THis can be used to help them hunt, and jump higher than they normally would.
Be careful in your actions.

When I was in High School I used to hang out with my friends and go to parties in the woods. We called these events “keg parties” and it was an every night affair. However, sometimes people would drink too much and insist on driving.

They were our friends, and buddies that we loved and cared about. But, things being as they were, eventually the sloshed friend would end up behind the wheel.

The others, with no other way to get home would be trapped in this death machine as our drunk buddy drove all over the road and in and off it. We were trapped while the good-meaning but absolutely incapable friend risked all of our lives.

That is what is going on… RIGHT NOW… in the United States.

Chinese messaging all over Wechat

The following is a message from the government of China to everyone. Read it. The Chinese government is treating this as a major event similar to that of a war. Read the translation and come to your own conclusions.

The Chinese…

什么叫“一级响应”?
         一级响应是国家在面临战争和重大灾难时的最高应对级别。2003非典都没有启动一级响应;2008年汶川地震死了十多万人也没有启动一级响应。这次浙江、广东率先启动一级响应、现全国启动了一级响应——这说明事态的严重性远远超出人们最大胆的想象。因此提醒大家千万不能等闲视之。能让武汉封城、北京所有庙会取消、上海迪斯尼关闭、贺岁电影全部下架、全国戒备百城空港!!疫情一定严重到超乎我们的想象了!请放下盲目自信… 请照顾好自己和家人,对自己和家人朋友负责!好好守在家里,安全度过这场大灾难!
   再次普及:这是战争不是儿戏,打赢了,天天都是春节!输了,这就是你最后一个春节!收起你盲目的自信和侥幸心理,也收起你事不关己高高挂起的态度,这场战役没有局外人!呆在家不要外出!保护的是你自己!是对全家人的负责!对一线的医护人员负责!对社会的负责!

The translation…

What is a first response?

The first-order response is the highest level of national response in the face of war and major disasters. None of the 2003 SARS initiated a first-order response; Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 killed more than 100,000 people did not start a response level. 

This time, Zhejiang and Guangdong took the lead in initiating the first-level response, and now the whole country has launched the first-level response. 

This shows that the seriousness of the situation is far beyond peoples boldest imagination. 

Therefore, we must not take it lightly. 

Can let Wuhan Fengcheng, Beijing all temple fairs canceled, Shanghai Disneyland closed, New Years film all off shelves, national guard hundred cities airport!! 

The outbreak must be worse than we thought! 

Please put down your blind confidence. Please take good care of yourself and your family and be responsible for yourself and your friends. 

Stay at home and ride out this disaster safely!

Once again popular: This is war is not a game, win, every day is the Spring Festival! Lose, this is your last Spring Festival! 

Put away your blind self-confidence and luck, but also put away your attitude that you have nothing to do with yourself, there is no outsider in this battle! 

Stay at home and don't go out! 

You're protecting yourself! 

Is responsible for the whole family! 

Responsible for the front-line medical staff! 

Responsibility to society!

The way that China is treating it differs substantially from the way the American and British mainstream media is reporting it.

The American mainstream media is completely out of touch. A nation with a population many times that of the United States locks down everyone inside their homes for three weeks, and this is NOT news? It’s like the flu? Only not as bad?

What.

The.

Fuck?

So the flu is far deadlier than this?

Chinese Government releases are curious statement…

Just now, the Chinese government has sent a message to everyone NOT to TRAVEL during the NEXT holiday sometime in April. That’s four months in the future…

Why?

What do they know?

Take Aways

  • American / Canadian bio-weapon scientists have engineered similar germ-weapons; of the same type, the same class, and the same nearly identical properties.
  • We know this because they have filed patents on this viral type with the United States patent office.
  • [1] Canadian bio-weapons scientists were caught “red handed” trying to sneak a similar Cat-4 viral pathogen into China in March 2019. The Chinese government lodged a complaint.
  • [2] American bio-scientists have also been caught “red handed” collecting Chinese DNA for their biological experiments.
  • Both events are well documented, and formal complaints by China have been lodged.
  • The profile, characteristics of this strain are are indicative of a bio-weapon. Especially the stealth nature of contamination, the deceptive nature of transmission, and the sudden and fatal results. All are hallmarks of a militarized biological weapon.
  • The launch of this sickness occurred at a time and place indicative of a biological attack. The odds of this occurring randomly is small.
  • Neocon John Bolton attended a high-level discussion with the Gates foundation about the transmission of a biological pathogen two months before this event.
  • Since 2018 the Chinese at all levels, have been “closed out” of American and “allied” biological weapons research, and pandemic studies.
  • American military personnel were in Wuhan at the precise moment of the first release of the virus.
  • Then all military staff were directed NOT to watch Chinese social media applications, videos and photos.
  • Chinese authorities are acting swiftly and proactively. They are not pointing fingers, or laying accusations.
  • However, the Chinese government and their military are treating this as a biological attack.
  • American mainstream media is treating this as a harmless flu.

Other thoughts…

There are some 100-plus CIA / Pentagon-sponsored clandestine and  semi-known laboratories spread throughout the world – laboratories to  fabricate and test agents for biological warfare. 

A few years ago, one  such laboratory was discovered and reported on in Ukraine. They were  working on a virus affecting the “Russian Race”. Since there is no  homogenous Russian Race – their initial trials supposedly failed. Since  the empire never gives up in its evil attempts to dominate the world, we  can assume that research on race directed bio-agents continues.

This  western, especially American (CIA, Pentagon, NATO) project to develop  biochemical weapons to kill people by disease rather than bullets and  bombs – it is much cheaper! And less obvious – does exist. 

You may draw  your own conclusion on whether SARS and the new 2019-nCoV fits that  pattern. The timing of the appearance was especially curious. It was  first reported on 31 December 2019 in Wuhan – and then expanded into a  proportion, so that it interfered with China’s most important holiday,  the Lunar New Year. It could, of course, be just coincidence.

One  of Washington’s “low-grade” warfare models is destabilizing China (and  Russia for that matter) with any means. With the objective of  destabilization, China is constantly being harassed and aggressed – see  Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, Tibet, the tariff wars – and why not with a contagious virus, a trial for a potential pandemic?

What  can be observed and even the west must notice to their chagrin and  frustration – is China’s extreme resilience and capacity to adapt and  resist – to resist with powerful minds and ingenuity that saves her  people. And that without counter-aggression, without even an accusation  and never a threat. 

This is China’s way forward: a steady  flow of endless creation, avoiding conflict, no dominance, but seeking  harmony by building bridges between people and among countries and  cultures – creating understanding and wellbeing, towards a multi-polar  world. A model for mankind? – If only the west would open its eyes and  wake up.

Why is America doing this?

Why America is doing this…

The actual trade imports that China obtains from the United States.
One of the often cited misconceptions that many Americans have is that China would collapse if the United States were to stop trading with her. The idea is that "China needs us more than we need them". It's not true, and it's not even remotely true. Here, is the actual import data that China imports from the United States. Take a good long hard look at it.

And the American government wants China to be reduced, they are openly announcing their glee that Chinese people are hurting…

Yeah. As if America still had factories that can employ skilled people, as well as still had people that had the ability to manage and supervise factories…

I just do not trust the USA government.

General trust.
General trust.

And neither does China;

Keep in mind that Pompeo admitted that the COVID-19 Coronavirus was a “Live Exercise” at the White-house. It was NOT a natural virus. It was NOT a Chinese-developed and deployed bio-weapon. It was an American “system” that was deployed as a “Live Exercise.

China was ready and expecting the attack

The United States carpet bombed China with bio-weapons from 1950-1952, after the disasterous losses that the United States experienced from the Chiense. When Mr. Mao made this quote most people discounted it, but today, we understand the TRUE and REAL situation much clearer.

What a quote!

He got the date and time, and reasoning quite clear.

Update 1

 Coronavirus: The Plot Thickens
 From Reports:

 Indian researchers have found HIV-derived inserts in the coronavirus  genome that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the  argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/coronavirus-contains-hiv-insertions-stoking-fears-over-artificially-created-bioweapon 

 This 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence  Community lists China as a major potential “terror actor” (p.2) and  genome editing (p.9) as a major terror risk.  https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/SASC_Unclassified_2016_ATA_SFR_FINAL.pdf 

 Before jumping to conclusions, let’s assume for argument’s sake that  the paper published in India on the makeup and likely evolution of this  virus passes peer review. What then? The international community will  likely conclude the virus was bio-engineered and will condemn China with  major implications for sanctions and global trade/travel. 

 But consider: it is the agenda of USA to contain the rise of China.  Cui bono? 

Is it far-fetched that having fingered China as a major terror  actor and terror risk that US agents would have created this epidemic  in the epicenter of Chinese virology experimentation? 

It is easier in  this instance to identify the crime than the criminal. Western intel  agencies are associated with false flags.

Update 2

Apparently, people are actually dying in the streets. WTF?

Do not let the soundtrack fool you. This is serious business.

And this…

Dead in the streets being attended to.
Dead in the streets being attended to.

Update 3

Americans to the rescue!

The holiday started on CNY eve, and ended just as abruptly when the government ordered everyone to stay inside. Now, on the eve of the first day of work after the holiday we get this message floating around Chinese social media…

重磅利好!!!   古利得是一家非常牛逼的美国研究病毒药物的公司,在世界上没有几家,它研究的一些药物是当今世界上没有的。这次中国请来的研究病毒的专家就是这个公司的老总,钟南山院士亲自去机场迎接接他!因为这个公司的抗病毒药瑞德西韦治好了中国武汉去美国的35岁患者,所以中美已经签订合同购买这个公司抗病毒的瑞德西韦进口协议!这个抗病毒特效药今天已经到了中国!明天就会用到武汉的病患者身上了!!!重要的是用药以后,一天就可以好转!很快局面就会转好了!那些重病人都有救了!  

Translation…

Big Benefit!!!

Gullit is a very powerful American company that studies viral drugs. There are few in the world, and some of the drugs it studies are not available in the world today. 

This time the expert that China invites to study virus is this companys boss, academician Zhong Nanshan goes to airport personally to meet him! 

Because the companys antiviral drug Red Seaway cured 35-year-old patients from Wuhan, China to the United States, China and the United States have signed a contract to buy the companys antiviral Red Seaway import agreement! 

This anti-virus medicine has arrived in China today! Tomorrow will be used in Wuhans patient body!!! 

The important thing is that after you take the medicine, you can get better in a day! It will all turn around soon! The seriously ill are saved! 

I do not know if this message is true or not. Typically, the Chinese tend to be very pragmatic, they usually don’t post hoaxes or lies. It can land them in a Chinese gulag if they do.

Imagine that, if true!

An [1] American company, suddenly has the [2] cure, and it’s a miracle cure! It works nearly [3] instantaneous! The world is saved, and it’s the Americans who did it.

Well… we will see.

In the world of politics, and global diplomacy it’s a high stakes game of push, thrust, parry, retreat, fancy foot work, and parry.

  • The idea that it is isolated to far away China only, and that it’s not so bad as the flu is falling apart.
  • With the alternative media promoting the idea that this is a bio-weapon stolen by the Chinese and released accidentally …
  • … and Tictoc and Chinese social media showing men, women, children and complete families, dressed like Americans, dying on the street…
  • And the American military being forbidden to watch this.
  • And the very non-confrontational (smiling and nodding) Chinese reaction…
  • While China and Russia are having meetings…

Perhaps, it’s time for the USA to pull back from this operation.

We will see.

All I do know is that according to the American mainstream news, “China has not accepted help from America”, from the article titled “China has not yet accepted US help with the coronvirus epidemic “. This article is what the White House adviser Robert O’Brien has to say.

All I do know is that according to the American mainstream news, "China has not accepted help from America", from the article titled "China has not yet accepted US help with the coronvirus epidemic ".

And Senator Tom Cotton (R) chimes in and demands that China be “more transparent”, yet he offers no suggestions how that is possible. HERE.

Sen. Tom Cotton, who has repeatedly chastised the Chinese Communist  Party for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, said, "I have very  low confidence in the state of Chinese politics because their government  is still lying to the world about this deadly matter," during an  interview Friday on Fox News. 

Update 4

Turns out the news in Update 3 about the medicine was out of Thailand, not the United States. Thailand did the research. The United States just owns the drug that the studies were based upon.

Today 5FEB20, Beijing has released a statement;

著名的北京中日友好医院曹彬医生团队在疫情发生后,通过一系列研究在2月3日凌晨起对瑞德西韦(Remdesivir)进行了临床试验证明,结果显示效果良好!——

用药以后17个小时,就恢复了96%的肺功能!到2月4日,所有参加临床试验的270名病人的肺部功能都正在恢复! 

Translation;

After the outbreak, the team of Dr. Cao Bin of the famous Beijing Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital conducted clinical trials on Remdesivir in the early hours of February 3rd through a series of studies, which showed good results! ——
 
Within 17 hours of the drug, 96% of the lung function was restored! By February 4th, all 270 patients who participated in the clinical trial were recovering their lung function!

The second part of this report reads…

而且,前天泰国传来的大消息,也佐证了该药物的有效性!

12小时好转!48小时就由阳转阴!

2月2日14:00,泰国副总理阿努廷公布了泰国在当前治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎的进展——使用艾滋病压制治疗药物及抗流感病毒两大组合疗法,重新制定出新式医疗方案治疗结果显示,在该医院接受该疗法的新冠肺炎病例,在12小时后病情好转,48小时检测结果为阴性。

来自武汉的患者已经70多岁,到Rajavithi医院的时候,肺部炎症情况已经十分严重,肺部充血,需要借用设备辅助呼吸,并且患者本身有高血压及心脏病等随身疾病史,综合来看,该患者感染情况属于较为严重一列。

泰国医疗专家组,通过综合考虑及临床实验等,通过HIV抗逆转录病毒药物与抗流感药物联合给药的方案:每天早-晚服用HIV抗逆转录病毒药物,同时每天早-晚服用抗流感病毒奥司他韦Oseltamivir,病人竟然全面退烧! 

Translation…

Moreover, the big news from Thailand the day before yesterday also confirmed the effectiveness of the drug!
 
12 hours to get better! 48 hours from yang to yin!
 
On February 2nd, at 14:00, Thai Deputy Prime Minister Anutin announced Thailand's progress in the current treatment of the new coronavirus pneumonia - the use of AIDS-suppressing drugs and anti-flu virus two combination therapies, to re-develop a new medical program.
 
The results showed that the hospital received the treatment of the new case of coronary pneumonia, after 12 hours of improvement, 48 hours test results were negative.
 
Patients from Wuhan have been more than 70 years old, to Rajavithi Hospital, the lung inflammation has been very serious, pulmonary congestion, need to borrow equipment to assist breathing, and the patient himself has high blood pressure and heart disease and other carry-on disease history, in general, the patient's infection is a more serious column.
 
Thai medical expert group, through comprehensive consideration and clinical trials, through HIV antiretroviral drugs and anti-flu drugs combined drug protocol program: daily morning-night HIV antiretroviral drugs, while taking anti-flu virus oseltamivir early-to-late daily anti-flu virus Oseltamivir, patients should be completely descarbexed!

The third part…

更可喜的是,美国方已经承诺不会为该药物引进中国不会做任何阻碍!美国总统特朗普和美国公共卫生行政部门已批准:

如果我国临床试验效果OK,中国就可以免费试用该药物,一直至4月27日!

就在临床试验效果不错的消息传来,高层就立即做出相应,可谓夜以继日在奋战!就在今天下午,科技部已经宣布,一批瑞德西韦药物于今天下午抵达国内。 

Translation…

What's more, the U.S. has promised not to introduce China for the drug without any hindrance! U.S. President Donald Trump and the U.S. Public Health Administration have approved:
 
If the results of clinical trials in China are OK, China can try the drug for free until April 27!
 
Just in the clinical trial effect of good news came, the high-level immediately made the corresponding, can be said to be fighting day after night! Just this afternoon, the Ministry of Science and Technology has announced that a batch of Redsiewe drugs arrived in the country this afternoon.

And just like that…

  • A patented American drug cures a patented American virus.

American media reports two types of stories… for two types of audiences;

  • It’s natural, and is pretty harmless. The flu is much worse.
  • It’s a biological weapon released by the communist dictatorship on the Chinese people. Either intentionally or accidentally.

Update 5

This is a serious virus that contaminates so very easily and quickly.

 Infected in 15 seconds while he bought vegetables at the market.
 GIC Team GICexpat 6FEB20

 A 56-year-old man in Ningbo was recently confirmed as a newly found case to have contracted the novel coronavirus after visiting a food market in the city’s Jiang Bei district on January 23. The confirmation was released to the public on February 4 by the district’s official social media account.

 What’s especially surprising about this case is how fast the man contracted the virus.

 Video surveillance revealed that it only took 15 seconds for him to be fully exposed, as neither he nor the 61-year-old woman standing next to him while picking out vegetables at the same stall were wearing protective masks.

 The woman is believed to have had contracted the virus a few days prior while attending a blessing ceremony.

 The man and woman, now both affected by the 2019-nCoV, did not know each other before crossing paths at the Shuang Dongfang market.

 Unfortunately, 19 people who subsequently came into close contact with the newly-infected 56-year-old patient have already shown positive signs of infection. All of them have been put under isolated medical observation for further examination. 

Update 6

Police are forcefully taking sick people into quarantine. Many refuse to go along, and have to be carried out of their homes.

Forcefully removed from their home.

Update 7

The Western American mainstream narrative is that this is nothing, just a “natural” virus. It’s not so lethal or worrisome. It’s not as bad as the flu. Though, I have yet to see any person with the flu act like this…

Not as bad as the flu they say.

Update 8

A good laugh. Written in the middle of a lethal American bio-weapons attack on China, The Washington Standard defends United States global actions, eight simultaneous wars and bio / economic warfare. Is America Now “The Evil Empire”? .

Their conclusion; no, not at all.

Communism is.

Well, because of history. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and many others, such as Pol Pot killed millions of their countrymen.

Except China is Communist in Name only, just like America is a Republic in name only.

  • America is an Oligarchy. It was started as a Republic. Changed into a Democracy with the passage of the 12th and 17th amendments, and the progressive “improvements” of President Wilson et.al. solidified the oligarchy we know of today.
  • China is a Social Republic. It follows the same model as pre-political party United States. Pure communist construction was discarded in the early 1970’s. It was replaced by Capitalism but with a single political party that keeps the “Communist” name.

Update 10

First, the Chinese government has treated the epidemic as an act of  war, deploying all the means at its disposal, including the military, in  order to contain its spread, building several large new hospitals,  putting entire huge cities under quarantine and extending the national  holidays. The response as been far beyond what this virus seems to  warrant, with its low mortality rate.
           
Second, the Western media response has been an exemplary  effort to produce a panic and to smear China, making what is happening  there into a horror story. Not only did the mass media outlets do their  best to stoke mass hysteria about all things Chinese, but various  bloggers and independent “experts” pitched in to produce a panic. 
           
Third, the White House has recently requested that experts  look into the possibility that 2019-nCoV has been genetically  engineered... I suspect that the next move will be to declare that this  virus is indeed an engineered biological weapon developed by Russia, of  course.

Update 11 – 13FEB20

From the Jerusalem Post

Arab media accuse US, Israel of coronavirus conspiracy against China

One report claimed that it was no coincidence that the coronavirus was largely absent from the US and Israel.

Numerous reports in the Arab press have accused the US and Israel of being behind the creation and spread of the deadly coronavirus as part of an economic and psychological war against China, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported.

One report in the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan claimed that it was no coincidence that the coronavirus was absent from the US and Israel, though this is despite America having 12 confirmed cases at the time of writing.

“A ‘wonder’ virus was discovered yesterday in China; tomorrow it will be discovered in Egypt, but it will not be discovered either today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in the US or Israel, nor in poor countries such as Burundi or the Comoro Islands,” the report said.

It also went on to accuse the US and Israel of being behind other outbreaks over the past several years in China and in the Arab world.”As soon as Egypt announced, a few years ago, that it would rely on poultry , and that it would even export [poultry] abroad – that is, that it no longer needed poultry from the US, France, and so on – [suddenly] there appeared, from underneath the ground, the avian flu virus… with the aim of nipping [Egypt’s economic] awakening in the bud,” the report said.”

Even before this, the same thing was done in China… when in 2003 [the country] announced that it had the [world’s] largest dollar reserves they [the Americans] introduced coronavirus’ cousin, SARS, into [the country].”

At the beginning of February, Syrian daily newspaper Al-Thawra also claimed the coronavirus and other outbreaks were part of a US-China war.

“From Ebola, Zika, SARS, avian flu and swine flu, through anthrax and mad cow disease to the corona[virus] – [all these] deadly viruses were manufactured by the US and threaten to annihilate the peoples of the world,” the report alleged.

“[The US] has turned biological warfare into a new type of war, by means of which it intends to change the rules of play and shift the conflict with the peoples [of the world] away from the conventional path.”A report on the Egyptian news site Vetogate.com built on this theory even more, specifying why Wuhan was supposedly chosen as the epicenter of the current outbreak.”

American factories are the first to manufacture every kind of virus and bacteria, from the virulent smallpox virus and the bubonic plague virus to all the viruses we saw in the recent years, such as mad cow disease and swine flu,” the site claimed.

“Wuhan, the city that has now been struck by the corona[virus], is an industrial town, but it is nevertheless the eighth-richest city in China after Shanghai.”Guangzhou, Beijing, Tianjin and Hong Kong, are the country’s major cities.

[Wuhan’s] place at the bottom of the list [of China’s major cities] is what makes it a suitable [place] for an American crime… for it is not a focus of attention, and the level of healthcare there is surely lower than in the larger and more important cities.”

The news site adds that there is a theorized economic motivation for the outbreak, as the supposed masterminds behind it will reap the billions of dollars spent by China on emergency treatments and medicines, “which, by the way, will be manufactured by an Israeli company.”

Over 37,000 people around the world have been infected with the coronavirus as the outbreak continues to spread. The current death toll is over 800 people.

Update 12

For some reason, of which we can only speculate, this coronavirus was renamed to COVID-19. Thus making it difficult to associate any earlier names (and associated articles) with the current virus news.

And, amid all this, we have this…

Update 13

But by the looks of it, this disease is a bioengineered weapon of mass destruction that has either been accidentally or purposefully released (either way the cat is out of the bag) so a vaccine isn't happening any time soon.

Irrefutable; The coronavirus was engineered by scientists in a lab using well documented genetic engineering vectors that leave behind a “fingerprint”.

Article is in Chinese, and the Chinese pretty much established this as a bio-weapon event. The article was picked up by German scientists that’s been distributing the data along scientific and technical social media channels.

Update 14

The R-0 value for Coronavirus is still being debated. It has been estimated around 2.x – 6.x . Link Posted February 11, 2020.

The novel  coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a recently emerged human pathogen that has  spread widely since January 2020. Initially, the basic reproductive number, R0, was estimated to be 2.2 to 2.7. 

Here we provide  a new estimate of this quantity. 

We collected extensive individual case reports and estimated key epidemiology parameters, including the  incubation period. 

Integrating these estimates and high-resolution real-time human travel and infection data with mathematical models, we estimated that  the number of infected individuals during early epidemic double every  2.4 days, and the R0 value is likely to be between 4.7 and 6.6.

Update 15

The CDC has restated (Feb 13) the virus is contagious when symptoms do not show – Link

Coronavirus  can be spread through people who aren’t exhibiting symptoms of the  illness, the director of the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention said Thursday.

Update 16

This falls in line with Japans researchers who estimate 1 in every 2 people were infected from people not showing symptoms Link

At least one  of every two instances of human-to-human transmission of the new  coronavirus is believed to occur while the first patient is not yet showing symptoms

Update 17

The incubation period was initially thought to be 14days, this has since been revised to 24days – Link

New research  from a group of Chinese scientists suggested the virus’ incubation  period – the time between exposure and the onset of symptoms – could be as long as 24 days.

And this…

The more we learn about this mysterious new coronavirus, the more  alarming this outbreak becomes.  When the virus first began to spread,  authorities insisted that it was very unlikely that human to human  transmission was taking place.  Of course we soon found out that this  virus spreads from person to person incredibly easily.  Initially we  were also told that we shouldn’t be afraid to touch a surface that an  infected person may have touched because the virus cannot be spread in  that manner.  But as you will see below, scientists have now discovered  that the virus can actually live for quite a few days on a smooth  surface.  Based on what we now know, this outbreak is going to be  exceedingly difficult to contain, and that has very serious implications  for all of us. 

- End of the American Dream

Update 18

The UK Government has stated the virus as a imminent threat – Link

Coronavirus  poses a serious and imminent threat to public health in the UK, the  government declared as it introduced new powers to forcibly quarantine people for their own safety.

Update 19

China is still refusing US health officials to be involved and the US are voicing their disappointment – Link

White House  economic adviser Larry Kudlow Thursday said the Trump administration was  "disappointed" with China's response to the coronavirus and the fact that no United States health officials have been invited in to  help with the outbreak.

Update 16

Professor Dennis Etler of San Francisco: Covid-19 is turning out to be much like the H1N1 influenza virus in its rate of infection and severity. The death rate is higher, but that is probably an artifact of its concentration in Wuhan and the fact that most people who get the virus have only mild symptoms or none at all and are therefore not counted. When that is factored in the death rate will lessen.

Currently the death rate is most similar to the Spanish Flu of 1918, but with time it may reduce to levels comparable to the H1N1/9 American Flu (aka swine flu) of 2009.

China has taken Covid-19 seriously and has taken a big hit as a result. The US did nothing for 6 months, resulting in its global spread and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Please pray tell. Which government is responsible and which government truly has the concern of it's people and the people of the world at heart?

Update 17

All February there has been a massive ant-China propaganda campaign launched by the neocon elements inside Washington DC, and the “deep state”.

Here’s an excellent article in the on-line magazine Veterans Today;

 This insecure passive aggressiveness shined with blinding intensity  on February 8 during an annual National Governors’ Association event  which saw 44 American state governors come together from Feb. 7-10 in  Washington, DC.
 
During his speech, Pompeo’s niceties quickly ended in order to launch  into his main agenda behind speaking at this venue: To threaten all  participants to stay away from China because “China is watching you. Working you.”
 
Pompeo warned the attending governors not to make bilateral deals with China “that could undermine national policy”, and stated: “Whether  you are viewed by the CCP as friendly or hardline, know that its  working you, know that its working the team around you. Competition with  China is happening inside your state and it affects our capacity to  perform America’s vital national security functions.”
 
Faced with Trump’s often re-stated desires to build positive  relations with China and achieve a trade deal, the deep state has gone  on overdrive pushing to sabotage this dynamic by promoting the support  of Taiwan and Hong Kong independence, while working hard to shut down as  many American-based Confucius institutes which had grown to 90 at their  max.
 
In recent months, FBI and CIA pressure has resulted in the closing of 29 of the 100 Confucius institutes  in the past 6 years. Most recently, under pressure of the new National  Defense Authorization Acts of 2018 and 2019, 22 Institutes have been  forced to shut down with sinophobe senators Mark Rubio, and Ted Cruz  leading the charge on the republican side and sinophobe democrats like  Seth Moulton running the pressure campaign for the democrats. On top of  this, hundreds of Chinese scholars, and scientists have been fired from  their positions as professors and researchers in universities, and  slandered as espionage agents by the new McCarthyite Witch hunt run  under the Christopher Wray’s FBI. The policy is blunt and simple: Sever  as many intellectual and cultural connections between America and China  as humanly possible to prevent any alliance from forming.
 
Pompeo’s deployment to the Governors’ conference was a major part of  this fanatical campaign since the oligarchy is aware that American  governors like Matt Bevin of Kentucky, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Nebraska’s  Pete Ricketts, and many others  see China’s desire to invest in American infrastructure and  agricultural products as a life line for survival where no federal  relief appears visible and an economic meltdown looms overhead.
 
The irony which leading deep state operatives managing the  anti-China/Russia campaign refuse to acknowledge is that America’s  oncoming economic collapse can only be stopped by a FDR-styled  bankruptcy reorganisation of Wall Street and a new alliance with  actually viable nations like Russia and China who wish to help America  rebuild its decayed agro-industrial foundations. 

Update 18

From WUWT

ctm posted my longish scientific commentary written last Sunday on Monday.  The situation is still rapidly evolving. Much more is now known than  last Sunday. This updates my previous commentary and the general  knowledge about Wuhan, adding new factual information plus additional  research. For those interested, the WSJ online (paywalled, but I am a  subscriber) has added a new coronavirus section tracking Wuhan daily  news because of the importance to China and global supply chains. I rely  on it here using today’s WSJ noon update.

 A special h/t to previous commenters Robert of Texas and Nicolas  McGinley, who added much to my previous post with many erudite comments.
 
Origins and precedents
 
Wuhan is the third known transmission of a respiratory tract  coronavirus infection from bats via an intermediary mammal to humans:
 
SARS 2003: The following information is derived from a special WHO  report. 916 deaths from 8422 total infections, mortality 10.9%. Not  transmissible prior to onset of symptoms (cough, fever); main  transmission days 4 and 5 after symptom onset. Mode of transmission  mainly contact, with an R0 about 3. Bat corona via live civet intermediate to humans in a Chinese wet market.
 
MERS 2012: 779 deaths from 2229 total infections, mortality 35.5%.  Not transmissible prior to symptom onset. Bat corona via live camel  intermediate to humans in a Saudi Arabian camel market.
 
Wuhan 2020: to today at noon (2/13/20), about 1300 deaths in about  59000 diagnosed cases, with about 5000 full recoveries. The implications  are discussed below. Bat corona via live pangolin to humans in Wuhan’s  Huanan wet market (since permanently closed) in December 2019.
 
Wuhan transmission and clinical progression
 
Many more case reports are now giving a clear clinical picture.
 
Transmission route is either contact or inhalation (of real concern, because more flu like than cold like—even with annual flu shots influenza R0  remains about 2 because of flu vaccine issues covered in the previous  post). 

Based on SARS and influenza, this means the likely Wuhan R0  is 3ish, so very contagious. The significant inhalation route is now  shown by both the Diamond Princess cruise ship experiment (more below)  and by the fact that ordinary surgical masks proved ineffective in the  Wuhan hospital setting (JAMA, previous post).
 
Incubation period is 7-10 days from initial infection. The good news  is that the 14-day quarantine adopted pretty much universally last week  should therefore be effective (with a margin of safety) at Wuhan  containment. But in most of Southeast Asia outside China, Japan, and  Singapore, or in Africa should Wuhan spread there, 14-day quarantine  will be difficult or impossible to maintain so the possibility of a  pandemic remains.
 
The bad news is that Wuhan IS transmissible during some later  part of the symptomless incubation period. The definitive clinical proof  (there was comment debate about the reliability of previous post  evidence from Japan and Germany) is an age 50’s UK male who attended an  about 100 person sales conference in Singapore 1/20-1/22 2020. 

The bad news is that Wuhan IS transmissible during the later part of the symptomless incubation period.

 A single  individual from Wuhan also attended this conference and was–per  Singapore Wuhan containment policies– symptomless on arrival (no fever,  no cough). 

That either symptomless or very early symptomatic individual  transmitted Wuhan to the UK citizen in Singapore. The UK individual then  flew to France for a 4-day family ski vacation 1/24-1/28 at Le  Contamines-Montjoie. During the 4-day vacation the UK male remained  symptomless (entire incubation time Singapore plus France at most 8  days) but transmitted Wuhan to 11 other individuals, 5 later diagnosed  in UK (family and friends), 5 later diagnosed in France, and 1 later  diagnosed in Spain. Clearly this case is NOT family close proximity contact transmission. 

This case may be a “super spreader” outlier, BUT it means a symptomless R0 as high as 11 cannot be ruled out, with a symptomless transmission period of several days. By comparison, the R0 for measles (absent vaccination) is 12-18, so a horrific Wuhan symptomless R0 of 11 is within the realm of actual possibility 

A horrific Wuhan symptomless R0 of 11 is within the realm of actual possibility.

 This is VERY bad news, as the formal CDC guidance on URI’s is that  transmission risk is highest with peak symptoms (equating to peak virion  shedding)–as was the case with SARS. Not so with Wuhan, reinforcing the  public health necessity of strict 14-day quarantine.
 
Disease progression is standard common cold symptoms for 7-10 days  with one exception–used since yesterday for clinical diagnosis in Hubei  Province, as both the Chinese and the experimental CDC US test kits are  showing significant problems with a high rate of false negatives. 

Common  colds from over 120 distinct serotypes from all three viral families  (RNA naked Rhino, RNA enveloped Corona, and DNA enveloped Adeno) all  evidence the same three symptoms: runny nose, sore throat, and cough.  

Influenza adds two: fever and muscle ache. 

Wuhan clinically shows four:  runny nose, sore throat, cough, AND fever—but NOT muscle ache. 

As of  today, Hubei switched to clinical diagnosis and today’s ‘new’ diagnosed  Wuhan cases were 14840. Yesterday, using only test kits, it was 1638.  This is not a leap in cases; it is a leap in diagnostics.
 
Unfortunately, this new fact means Wuhan has previously (as suspected  but now proven) been severely under diagnosed and reported. And that  unfortunately means the 1300 attributed deaths were also severely  underreported. More on presently inferable mortality comes in a  following section.
 
Wuhan then makes a now well-established clinical bifurcation. In  75-80% of cases, by symptom day 10 there is a normal ‘corona cold’  recovery lasting a few days. (In my own case last week, 3 recovery days  in total, days 9-12 from symptom onset.)
 
In 20-25% of cases, by symptom day 10 Wuhan progresses to lower  respiratory tract pneumonia, where death may occur with or without ICU  intervention. The percentage of these deep pneumonias that are viral as  opposed to a secondary bacteria infection is not known, but the NEJM  clinical case report from Washington State discussed in the following  paragraph strongly suggests viral (like SARS), not secondary bacterial  treatable with antibiotics.
 
The new NEJM  case report is so important it is summarized here because it leads to a  hopeful culminating section below. The Seattle Wuhan case evidenced  x-ray diagnosed lower respiratory tract pneumonia from days 9-11 from  symptom onset. Supplemental oxygen was started day 9. IV antibiotics  were started day 10 to no effect, so discontinued after one day.  

Importantly (more below), experimental antiviral remdesivir started day  11 by IV under a compassionate use exception, and the deep viral  pneumonia fully resolved (per x-ray diagnosis) within 24 hours!
 
Diamond Princess ‘lab’ experiment
 
On Sunday, reported cases were 69 out of about 3700 total ship  passengers and crew. Japan was removing people from the ship to hospital  isolation as soon as symptoms (fever) showed, so the cruise ship became  a somewhat artificial (close quarters) symptomless R0 experiment.
 
As of today, the ship’s website reports that 218 passengers have been  positively diagnosed from 713 tested, all removed to hospital  isolation. About 3500 passengers and crew remain on board as the  ‘experiment’ continues. This suggests symptomless Wuhan R0 is  greater than 2 (37 new cases per day for four days among a symptomless  about 3500- 3600) and could be, like SARS, 3ish. Except SARS  transmission was after symptom onset; this is before.
 
Per its website, ship offered today to begin removing symptomless  passengers to shore quarantine at their expense, or to remain  quarantined on the ship at Princess expense. In either event, full  cruise refunds have been made.
 
Inferable Mortality
 
The news here is not good. We have mostly very poor data; both Hubei  incidence and mortality were now provably severely under reported. 

But  we do have one piece of usable comparable information. 1300 mortalities  and 5000 recoveries amongst those who tested positive from the false  negative test kits used until yesterday (the majority of cases have not  yet resolved one way of the other). 

In the end, when the disease has run  its course, there are only two outcomes: recovery or death. 

On the test  kit basis, the mortality could be as high as 26%. That is horrible but  not impossible since MERS was almost 36%.  

On the test kit basis, the mortality could be as high as 26%.

Why was University of Rochester recruiting medical subjects, when the baseline requirement was they had to be 100% ethnic Chinese? Looks like DNA collection to me. China Rising Radio Sinoland 200222

Collect Chinese DNA flier.
Collect Chinese DNA flier.
It is more evidence of the US collecting Chinese and Slavic (Russian)  DNA, likely to be used to develop race-specific microbes that only kill  that group.

Mr. Jose took the photo the winter of 2018-2019, just  a year ago. It is one of those announcements seen all around schools  and on grocery store public bulletin boards, with the little tear-off  contact tabs below. Angela Mim’s email was on the tabs, as well as the  phone number of the Flaum Eye Institute, which is part of the School of  Medicine at the University of Rochester in New York. Dr. Michael  DePaolis was conducting this study. 

...

The University of Rochester, Flaum Eye Institute and Dr. DePaolis may  have been willing participants in DARPA’s (Defense Advanced Research  Projects Agency) Chinese DNA collection program to develop race specific  bioweapons, or were just innocent dupes, sending tissue samples on to a  fake-named laboratory with a P.O. Box. We’ll never know. But, it’s safe  to say that no matter the excuses, this is clear evidence of Chinese  citizens being used as guinea pigs to collect their DNA.

I can smell the germ warfare from here. 

Update 21

The American anti-China propaganda war has been relentless.

 Swooping in on a castle’s weak point, robbing the victim of a fire,  throwing stones at someone drowning in a well – a range of Chinese  proverbs have been coined to make the same point: not to kick a person  who is already down.
 
These sayings have been popping up in recent weeks in the coded  phrases used by Chinese diplomats. That’s because – just when the ink  was drying on the first phase of a long awaited trade deal between China  and the United States – there has been a new souring in relations.
 
Beijing focused on fighting the coronavirus outbreak at home,  Washington has seemed to be turning up the heat on the Chinese on  several fronts this month. 

With some Chinese believing that their American foes are trying to take advantage of the Covid-19 crisis, the subsequent bad feeling doesn’t bode well for future trade talks. 

-Week in China

Update 22

Well, I have always suspected that the food market wasn’t the source or cause for the virus. So many things just didn’t add up. Now things are getting clearer with each passing day.

First off, the videos of the authorities cleaning up the Animal Market are all over the Chinese Internet. QQ, Wechat and Tictoc has literally thousands of videos detailing the cleanup efforts and the discarding of the animals. Alive and / or dead, they are captured by men in haz-mat suits, put into pink plastic containers. Shoved into a hole in the ground. Set on fire, and then buried under three yards of soil.

You know what is missing?

Bat cages.

There just aren’t any bird cares. There are those plastic cages for ground fowl like ducks, chicken, geese and quail. But not the specialized cages for bats. They need special cages.

Now, I thought it was curious that there were videos of people eating bat soup. But these were out of Indonesia and Burma. You could see by the writing used in the background. Nothing in Chinese.

So, unless someone is going to show me the cages where they kept the rare and unusual bats, I am going to stick to my belief that the Animal Market is just a ruse and a cover for nefarious American activities.

And I am not alone…

"A 20-year-old woman from Wuhan, China, transmitted the coronavirus to her family members without ever showing any symptoms, a new study found. 

The woman tested positive for the virus, but her CT scans were clear and she never became physically ill. Five of her family members, however, came down with a fever. Two developed severe pneumonia. The case is evidence that the coronavirus can be transmitted when someone is asymptomatic".  

Update 25 – 24FEB20

This is a very long article with some good things. It discusses the DARPA experiments, and the propaganda war.

A pull-quote…

... upon further examination of the sourcing for this serious claim,(That the Chinese biological lab in Wuhan released this bioweapon)...

... these supposed links between the outbreak and an alleged Chinese  bioweapons program have come from two highly dubious sources. 

For instance, the first outlet to report on this claim was Radio Free Asia, the U.S.-government funded media outlet targeting Asian audiences that used to be run covertly by the CIA and named by the New York Times as a key part in the agency’s “worldwide propaganda network.” 

Though it is no longer run directly by the CIA, it is now managed by the  government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which answers  directly to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was CIA director  immediately prior to his current post at the head of the State  Department. 

In other words, Radio Free Asia and other  BBG-managed media outlets are legal outlets for U.S. government  propaganda. 

(But why not the CIA directly?) 

Notably, the long-standing ban on the domestic use of U.S.  government propaganda on U.S. citizens was lifted in 2013,  with the official justification of allowing the government to  “effectively communicate in a credible way” and to better combat  “al-Qaeda’s and other violent extremists’ influence.”

DARPA  RECENTLY SPENT MILLIONS ON RESEARCH INVOLVING BATS AND CORONAVIRUSES,  AS WELL AS GENE EDITING “BIOWEAPONS” PRIOR TO THE RECENT CORONAVIRUS  OUTBREAK. NOW, “STRATEGIC ALLIES” OF THE AGENCY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO  DEVELOP A GENETIC MATERIAL-BASED VACCINE TO HALT THE POTENTIAL EPIDEMIC.

WASHINGTON  D.C. – In recent weeks, concern over the emergence of a novel  coronavirus in China has grown exponentially as media, experts and  government officials around the world have openly worried that this new  disease has the potential to develop into a global pandemic.

As  concerns about the future of the ongoing outbreak have grown, so too  have the number of theories speculating about the outbreak’s origin,  many of which blame a variety of state actors and/or controversial  billionaires. This has inevitably led to efforts to clamp down on  “misinformation” related to the coronavirus outbreak from both  mainstream media outlets and major social media platforms.

However,  while many of these theories are clearly speculative, there is also  verifiable evidence regarding the recent interest of one controversial  U.S. government agency in novel coronaviruses, specifically those  transmitted from bats to humans.

Update 26

In order to prevent World War III, the Chinese government “bit the bullet”. It is well known that [1] this is a biological weapon [2] the profile is that obvious, and [3] China did go into DEFCON ONE in response.

The next step is what? World War III?

So China, suggests that perhaps the bio-weapon was an accidental leak from a weapons facility. So they made a statement to this effect, and everything calmed down.

There! Everyone is happy.

The neocons can breathe a little better knowing that World War III will not be on their shoulders, and China is given some “breathing room” to strategize…

But wait…

This explanation does not really fit the actual observed situation. And others are taking note of that;

Update 28

This is also of interest…
 
I urge you to put up with Jones and listen to the whole interview,  but to sum it up: A 2015 document Boyle unearthed fingers the Level 4  bio-lab (BSL 3) at the University of North Carolina as the U.S.  participant in the engineering of the ‘COVID 19’ virus. Names are named,  including the Chinese scientist from the Wuhan lab who bought and then  transported the pathogen back to China. The deal was sponsored by the  NIH (National Institute of Health) and the FDA (Federal Drug  Administration), aside from the university bureaucrats. As Professor  Boyle says, all involved should be prosecuted under the Bio-terrorism  Act of 1989, which, again, Professor Boyle wrote.
 .
 Smoking guns don’t come any hotter than this.
 .
 An interesting observation was Boyle’s assurance that the official claim  that bats were involved in the transmission to humans is ‘balderdash’,  and that, given The Bug’s HIV gene envelope, animals of any sort are  ruled out as spreaders. That the mainstream is outed on this  provenance-related prevarication is extremely significant, for its  implications. We obviously cannot trust them on any Bug-related matter.
 .
 My only bone to pick with Professor Boyle is his theory that the virus  leaked from the Wuhan lab accidentally. I spent half the weekend looking  into the protocols used by Level 3 and 4 labs and can assure you that  an accident is no more likely here than in the Baxter scandal from 2009,  which I described in a recent post. (For those who want to check my facts on this, see the quotes and links in the end notes to this post. It is quite important!)
 .
 Although Boyle is an exceptional man, one of the few amongst top level  scientists, he doesn’t understand the long range plans of those in  power, nor does he realize the lengths they have and will go to. Boyle  has shown courage in airing his views before: From his position as  professor of international law he spoke out against the war in  Afghanistan, a risk to his job and maybe his safety after 9/11, so I  tend to doubt he (in effect) would false-champion the official story on  the outbreak. It could be that — like most of us — he just cannot  imagine ‘colleagues’ letting loose such devastation upon the world. As I  say, he has some smartening up to do.
 .
 See, the official story is slowly becoming ‘an accidental release’ from  the Wuhan lab. This was inevitable, given the robustness of the evidence  that it is a bio-weapon. (Listen to the goddamn link!) 

Update 29

Novel coronavirus may not originate in China – Health Expert

The paper, written by a large group of Chinese researchers from several institutions, offers details about the first 41 hospitalized patients who had confirmed infections with what has been dubbed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). In the earliest case, the patient became ill on 1 December 2019 and had no reported link to the seafood market, the authors report. 

“No epidemiological link was found between the first patient and later cases,” they state. Their data also show that, in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace. “That’s a big number, 13, with no link,” says Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University. 

Highlights:

  • *Wuhan Seafood market may not be the source of COVID-19
  • *Though virus first showed-up in China but the source of the virus may not be in China
  • *The possibility that virus may have originated abroad can’t be ruled out
  • *The theory that virus originated in December 2019 has been contested. 
  • *According to new theory, human-to-human transmission may have started in November 2019 or even earlier.
  • *The people in the Wuhan Seafood may not be the first one to transmit it. 
  • *The scenario that someone bought it to the market is one of the three scenarios that is still consistent with the data
 Another study published on a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new virus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.  The findings were the result of analyses of genome-wide data, sources  of infection and the route of spread of 93 samples of the virus  collected from 12 countries across four continents, reported by VOV  World. Thus, their conclusion supports one of the scenarios built  by Kristian Andersen. 

According to the researchers, the new coronavirus experienced two sudden population expansions, including one on January 6, 2020, which was related to the lunar New Year holiday. An earlier expansion occurred on December 8, 2019,  implying human-to-human transmission may have started in early December  or late November, and then accelerated when it reached the Huanan  seafood market.

Creator Of BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon
 
Here we have a lawyer who drafted up some biological weapons  legislation. They asked him what he thought, and he believes that China  stole the technology, and accidently released it in Wuhan because they  were developing weapons in the middle of the 11 million people city of  Wuhan…
 
Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of  Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing  legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the  Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989
 
But the bottom line is I drafted the US domestic implementing  legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention that was approved  unanimously by both Houses in the United States Congress signed into law  by President Bush Sr. that it appears the coronavirus that we’re  dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaped  out of Wuhan BSL-4. I’m not saying it was done deliberately.

Abstract:
  
We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel  coronavirus (2019- nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We  found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to  the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly,  amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to  those in the HIV- 1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the  inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence,  3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute  the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the  2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues  in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in  nature. This work provides yet unknown insights on 2019-nCoV and sheds  light on the evolution and pathogenicity of this virus with important  implications for diagnosis of this virus. [my emphasis]

 COVID-19 May Have Originated from the US? Japanese TV Broadcast
 
This immediately went viral on Chinese social media, with speculation  that the coronavirus may have originated in the US. It had already been  widely discussed that the virus may have been released at the time of  the Military World Games.
 
“Perhaps the US delegates brought the coronavirus to Wuhan, and some  mutation occurred to the virus, making it more deadly and contagious,  and causing a widespread outbreak this year.”
 
In the same article, a professor at Fudan University stated that  global virologists were working to track the origin of the virus,  “including the intelligence agencies”.

 Harvard Genetic Research Team Collected and Transferred China Blood and DNA Samples Back to the US
 
The study below pertains to a US initiative by an unnamed “renowned  University” involved in collecting blood and DNA samples in China’s  Anhui province in the 1990s. The unnamed university is Harvard  University.
 
Blood samples were collected. In turn, the US scientists “acquired DNA samples of the target group for research purposes. 
 
“The principal investigator himself admitted that for the asthma  research alone, 16,400 DNA samples had been transferred to the US.“.   These DNA samples collected by the Harvard research team were then  shipped to the US. They are part of extensive data base.
 
According to Romanoff (in an earlier article) the number of DNA samples  transferred to the US was much larger than the figures quoted in Zhang  Yong and Zhao Wenxia’s chapter:
     
… it became known that Harvard University had surreptitiously  proceeded with experiments in China that had been forbidden by the  authorities years earlier, where they collected many hundreds of  thousands of Chinese DNA samples and then left the country. 

Update 33

 In other news…
 
But when the time came, the bastards were prepared: The  Weird Animal Market! The bat soup-slurping Chinese! And hey, if that  didn’t work: ‘The Wuhan Level 4 Biolab!’, which was conveniently minutes  away from the designated ground (or patient) zero, at the Market. (Talk  about convenient! As is the coincidence that the outbreak occurred in  the midst of the ultimate Chinese travel week, the Lunar New Year. Yes,  the better to spread not only The Bug, but the panic; and to make sure  both spread world-wide, via air travel.)
 
But blaming the bio-lab would be a fall-back position; ever the  optimists, the real perps were hoping mother nature as patsy would hold  water, at least for a few months.

Update 34

 There are seven  coronaviruses known to infect people. Four of them—229E, NL63, OC43,  and HKU1—typically cause a cold and only rarely result in death. The  other three—MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and the new SARS-CoV-2—have varying  degrees of lethality. In the 2003 SARS outbreak, 10 percent of infected  people died. Between 2012 and 2019, MERS killed 23 percent of infected  people. Although the case fatality rate of COVID-19 is lower, the virus  has already killed more people than the other two outbreaks combined, which some have attributed to the pathogen’s fast transmission.  

See “How COVID-19 is Spread”

The  cold-causing coronaviruses, as well as many other viruses that cause  common colds, are typically restricted to the upper respiratory tract,  that is, the nose and sinuses. Both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, however,  are capable of invading deep into the lungs, something that is  associated with more severe disease.  
One possible reason for  this is that the virus binds to the ACE-2 receptor on human cells in  order to gain entry. This receptor is present in ciliated epithelial  cells in the upper and lower airway, as well as in type II pneumocytes,  which reside in the alveoli in the lower airway and produce  lung-lubricating proteins. “The type II pneumocytes are . . . important  for lung function, so this is part of why the lower respiratory disease  can be so severe,” notes Gralinksi. 

The new coronavirus also appears  to use the ACE-2 receptor, which may help partially explain why, like  SARS, it is more deadly than the other four coronaviruses. Those  pathogens use different receptors, except for NL63, which also uses the  ACE-2 receptor but binds to it with less affinity, says Gralinski. (MERS  is thought to use an entirely different receptor, which is also present in the lower airways.)

Update 36

From John Paul Roberts...

It is difficult to get reliable information about coronavirus.  The information difficulty is further complicated by interest groups using the outbreak for their own agendas.  

For example, many both inside and outside China are using the spread of the virus to criticize the Chinese government.  Others, both inside and outside China, claim the virus is a bioweapon unleashed on China by the US.  Still  others say the global elite has decided to implement a program to  reduce the world population and that Bill Gates, one of the global  elite, said some months ago that a global pandemic would break out at  this time. 

Some Internet sites attract traffic by posting reports of  massive numbers of Chinese deaths and crematoriums running 24/7. The  official Chinese story has been that the virus originated in a market  that sold wild animal meat.  The fact remains that Wuhan, apparently a city larger than any in the US, has been locked down for a month.
 
Francis Boyle (University of Illinois) is an expert on biowarfare weapon research.  He  wrote the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 1989, which is the  US implementing legislation for the 1972 Bio-Weapons Convention.  In interviews (see for example, https://www.activistpost.com/2020/02/us-biowarfare-act-author-studies-confirm-coronavirus-weaponized.html  ) 

Boyle says he has read four scientific studies that confirm beyond  doubt that the coronavirus is an engineered bioweapon. The studies show  that the virus has elements added to make it easy to spread and elements  that reduce the ability of the immune system to resist the virus.  
 
Boyle reports that the bio-engineering work that makes the virus easy  to spread was done at the University of North Carolina, and that the  work that allows HIV to be added was done in an Australian facility.  

He  shows that Chinese scientists from the Wuhan BSL-4 biowarefare lab were  present in both the UNC and Australian labs and participated in the  research.  The Chinese  scientists returned to Wuhan, each with an essential part that enabled  the Wuhan lab to produce what we call the coronavirus, the official name  of which is CoVid-19.
 
Boyle says that the virus’ escape was an unintended event, and that such escapes from biowar labs have happened before. 

Update 37 – 3MAR20

It’s starting to hit the USA, and it’s not even prepared. Donald Trump calls it a “hoax” and “similar to the flu”. Vice President Pence is assigned to deal with it. Cases are popping up all over the nation, and Americans are flooding into the supermarkets without masks to stock up on supplies.

It appears to have mutated to accept non-Asians, and now it looks like generation four is multiplying in the USA.

 The team at the Seattle Flu Study have sequenced the genome of the  COVID19 community case reported yesterday from Snohomish County, WA, and  have posted the sequence publicly, link below. There are some enormous  implications here.
 
This case, which is referred to as "WA2," is on a branch in the  evolutionary tree that descends directly from the case referred to as  "WA1" the first reported case in the USA sampled on Jan 19, also from  Snohomish County, WA.
 
This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington State for the past 6 weeks.
   
Let's do some quick math, with an R0 of 15 and generation of two weeks:

This  person should have spawned four generations or roughly 3500 people, the  fourth generation should just be starting to show symptoms, so the  person that died is likely from the second  generation if dying now (death is four to five weeks after catching),  meaning they didn't catch it from the original person but from someone  the original person infected.
 
In another month, that one original spreader can be responsible for the infection of three quarters of a million cases. (R0,  generations two weeks).   Here is the Model being used by government  entities inside the United States.   It is utterly horrifying 

-Hal Turner Show

Update 38

Now the Intenet has officially claimed that the idea that COVID-19 is a biological Weapon as a hoax.

 The Wuhan coronavirus at the time of writing has caused the deaths of  563 people. The number of those infected stands at 28,256 with the  outbreak showing no signs of slowing down. It was reported a short while  ago that two newborn infants had been infected with the virus, which  suggests the virus may be passed on to unborn babies. 

 Conspiracy theories on the coronavirus outbreak are all over the  internet. Google, Twitter and Facebook are said to be taking steps to  prevent fake news from spreading across their platforms. 

 While several scientists believe that bats may be to blame for the  spread of the virus, the victims of this disease did not become infected  after eating bat soup as some conspiracy theorists are trying to  convince people. This misinformation seems to have spread after footage  of a Chinese woman eating soup with a bat in it was circulated on social  media. However, the footage is not of someone infecting themselves with  the coronavirus, but instead of a travel blogger eating at a restaurant  in Palau in 2016. 

 Once again, the biological weapon theory appears with theorists  stating the virus ‘escaped’ from a secure lab. Others claim that Clorox  or Lysol will kill the virus, which it definitely won’t. Neither will  keeping your throat moist and drinking vitamin C supplements prevent you  from contracting the virus. Some people are suggesting that those who  have already been infected should drink bleach while others claim that  avoiding ice cream or other milk products will help prevent infection.  None of these claims are true, and the only advice and suggestions that  should be followed are those provided by health professionals. 

 And because he has apparently not been blamed for enough disasters,  anonymous anti-vaxxers are also spreading the rumor that Bill Gates  created the coronavirus.

Update 39 – 4MAR20

“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” WHO  Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing  at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. In comparison, seasonal flu  generally kills far fewer than 0.1% of those infected, he said.

The World Health Organization had said last week that the mortality rate of COVID-19 can differ,  ranging from 0.7% to up to 4%, depending on the quality of the  health-care system where it’s treated. Early in the outbreak, scientists  had concluded the death rate was around 2.3%. 

-WHO
NBC News reported the mortality rate in Iran—which has seen a spike in cases since it reported its first case last week—was around 14 percent.  

- Newsweek
The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S., according to The New York Times. 

The death rate for COVID-19 appears to be higher than that of the flu.  

-Livescience. 
  Ambitious, agile, and aggressive

 The team began in Beijing and then split into two groups that, all  told, traveled to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and the hardest hit  city, Wuhan. They visited hospitals, laboratories, companies, wet  markets selling live animals, train stations, and local government  offices. “Everywhere you went, anyone you spoke to, there was a sense of  responsibility and collective action, and there’s war footing to get  things done,” Aylward says.

 The group also reviewed the massive data set that Chinese scientists  have compiled. (The country still accounts for more than 90% of the  global total of the 90,000 confirmed cases.) They learned that about 80%  of infected people had mild to moderate disease, 13.8% had severe  symptoms, and 6.1% had life-threatening episodes of respiratory failure,  septic shock, or organ failure. The case fatality rate was highest for  people over age 80 (21.9%), and people who had heart disease, diabetes,  or hypertension. Fever and dry cough were the most common symptoms.  Surprisingly, only 4.8% of infected people had runny noses. Children  made up a mere 2.4% of the cases, and almost none was severely ill. For  the mild and moderate cases, it took 2 weeks on average to recover.

 A critical unknown is how many mild or asymptomatic cases occur. If  large numbers of infections are below the radar, that complicates  attempts to isolate infectious people and slow spread of the virus. But  on the positive side, if the virus causes few, if any, symptoms in many  infected people, the current estimated case fatality rate is too high.  (The report says that rate varies greatly, from 5.8% in Wuhan, whose  health system was overwhelmed, to 0.7% in other regions.)

 To get at this question, the report notes that so-called fever  clinics in Guangdong province screened approximately 320,000 people for  COVID-19 and only found 0.14% of them to be positive. “That was really  interesting, because we were hoping and maybe expecting to see a large  burden of mild and asymptomatic cases,” says Caitlin Rivers, an  epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “That  piece of data suggests that’s not happening, which would imply that the  case fatality risk might be more or less as we currently have.” But  Guangdong province was not a heavily affected area, so it is not clear  whether the same holds in Hubei province, which was the hardest hit,  Rivers cautions.

 Much of the report focuses on understanding how China achieved what  many public health experts thought was impossible: containing the spread  of a widely circulating respiratory virus. “China has rolled out  perhaps the most ambitious, agile, and aggressive disease containment  effort in history,” the report notes.

 The most dramatic—and controversial—measure was the lockdown of Wuhan  and nearby cities in Hubei province, which has put at least 50 million  people under a mandatory quarantine since 23 January. That has  “effectively prevented further exportation of infected individuals to  the rest of the country,” the report concludes. In other regions of  mainland China, people voluntarily quarantined and were monitored by  appointed leaders in neighborhoods.

 Chinese authorities also built two dedicated hospitals  in Wuhan in just over 1 week. Health care workers from all over China  were sent to the outbreak’s center. The government launched an  unprecedented effort to trace contacts of confirmed cases. In Wuhan  alone, more than 1800 teams of five or more people traced tens of  thousands of contacts.

 Aggressive “social distancing” measures implemented in the entire  country included canceling sporting events and shuttering theaters.  Schools extended breaks that began in mid-January for the Lunar New  Year. Many businesses closed shop. Anyone who went outdoors had to wear a  mask.

 Two widely used mobile phone apps, AliPay and WeChat—which in recent years have replaced cash in China—helped enforce the restrictions,  because they allow the government to keep track of people’s movements  and even stop people with confirmed infections from traveling. “Every  person has sort of a traffic light system,” says mission member Gabriel  Leung, dean of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine at the University of  Hong Kong. Color codes on mobile phones—in which green, yellow, or red  designate a person’s health status—let guards at train stations and  other checkpoints know who to let through.

 “As a consequence of all of these measures, public life is very  reduced,” the report notes. But the measures worked. In the end,  infected people rarely spread the virus to anyone but members of their  own household, Leung says. Once all the people in an apartment or home  were exposed, the virus had nowhere else to go and chains of  transmission ended. “That’s how the epidemic truly came under control,”  Leung says. In sum, he says, there was a combination of “good old social  distancing and quarantining very effectively done because of that  on-the-ground machinery at the neighborhood level, facilitated by AI  [artificial intelligence] big data.”

 Deep commitment to collective action

 How feasible these kinds of stringent measures are in other countries  is debatable. “China is unique in that it has a political system that  can gain public compliance with extreme measures,” Gostin says. “But its  use of social control and intrusive surveillance are not a good model  for other countries.” The country also has an extraordinary ability to  do labor-intensive, large-scale projects quickly, says Jeremy Konyndyk, a  senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development: 

“No one else  in the world really can do what China just did.”

 Nor should they, says lawyer Alexandra Phelan, a China specialist at  Georgetown’s Center for Global Health Science and Security. 

“Whether it  works is not the only measure of whether something is a good public  health control measure,” Phelan says. “There are plenty of things that  would work to stop an outbreak that we would consider abhorrent in a  just and free society.” 

-ScienceMag 

Coronavirus: there are 2 types, Chinese researchers find, while authorities say faeces and urine can transmit the infection. They found that one type, which they called the L type, was more prevalent than the other, the S type, meaning it was more infectious.

They also found that the L type had evolved from the S type, and that the L type was far more widespread before January 7 and in Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak. https://lnkd.in/g-NrpBJ

Update 40

A Los Alamos National Laboratory analysis of the outbreak in China in December 2019 and January 2020 puts the unrestrained R0  of Covid-19 at between 4.5 and 6.6. (The R-naught figure indicates the  contagiousness of a disease in a given environment. If the number is  above one, it’s spreading.) 
  The Novel Coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, is Highly Contagious and More Infectious Than Initially Estimated

 [Excerpts:] Integrating uncertainties in the exponential growth  rate estimated from the ‘first arrival’ approach and the uncertainties  in the duration of latent and infectious periods, we estimated the  values of R0 to be 6.3 and 4.7. The high R0 values we estimated have  important implications for disease control.

 The 2019-nCoV epidemic is still rapidly growing and spread to  more than 20 countries as of February 5, 2020. Here, we estimated the  growth rate of the early outbreak in Wuhan to be 0.29 per day (a  doubling time of 2.4 days), and the reproductive number, R0, to be  between 4.7 to 6.6.

 How contagious the 2019-nCoV is in other countries remains to be  seen. If the value of R0 is as high in other countries, our results  suggest that active and strong population-wide social distancing  efforts, such as closing down transportation system, schools,  discouraging travel, etc., might be needed to reduce the overall  contacts to contain the spread of the virus.

 This shockingly high original Chinese R0 value meant a doubling of  the number of cases every few days, and subsequently, regional hospitals  were overrun by infected patients. The Chinese experience indicates how  it may spread in the West and the 3rd world. Critically, the  often-quoted case fatality rate (CFR) of “only” 2% for Covid-19 occurs  when severely affected patients have access to first-class medical  treatment, with teams of nurses and doctors caring for them in isolation  ICUs. About 15% of people infected with the virus will develop severe  symptoms (pneumonia, etc.) requiring intensive individual treatment in  order to survive. Once hospitals are swamped and many of the medical  staff become infected, the CFR can swiftly rise to above 15%. This is  believed to be the situation inside the Wuhan City quarantine zone.

 An infectious disease with an R-naught above five, and the number of  cases doubling every two days, is like a biological atomic bomb chain  reaction, particularly in the age of jet travel to all points of the  globe.  

Update 41 – 19MAR20

Scientsts are saying that this virus is natural, and discuss why…

 The novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that emerged in the city of Wuhan,  China, last year and has since caused a large scale COVID-19 epidemic  and spread to more than 70 other countries is the product of natural  evolution, according to findings published today in the journal Nature Medicine.

 The  analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related  viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or  otherwise engineered.

 “By comparing the available genome sequence  data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that  SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes,” said Kristian Andersen, PhD, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research and corresponding author on the paper.

 In addition to Andersen, authors on the paper, "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,"  include Robert F. Garry, of Tulane University; Edward Holmes, of the  University of Sydney; Andrew Rambaut, of University of Edinburgh; W. Ian  Lipkin, of Columbia University.

 Coronaviruses are a large  family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging widely in severity.  The first known severe illness caused by a coronavirus emerged with the  2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in China. A  second outbreak of severe illness began in 2012 in Saudi Arabia with the  Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

 On December 31 of last  year, Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization of an  outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus causing severe illness, which  was subsequently named SARS-CoV-2. As of February 20, 2020, nearly  167,500 COVID-19 cases have been documented, although many more mild  cases have likely gone undiagnosed. The virus has killed over 6,600  people.

 Shortly after the epidemic began, Chinese scientists  sequenced the genome of SARS-CoV-2 and made the data available to  researchers worldwide. The resulting genomic sequence data has shown  that Chinese authorities rapidly detected the epidemic and that the  number of COVID-19 cases have been increasing because of human to human  transmission after a single introduction into the human population.  Andersen and collaborators at several other research institutions used  this sequencing data to explore the origins and evolution of SARS-CoV-2  by focusing in on several tell-tale features of the virus.

 The  scientists analyzed the genetic template for spike proteins, armatures  on the outside of the virus that it uses to grab and penetrate the outer  walls of human and animal cells. More specifically, they focused on two  important features of the spike protein: the receptor-binding domain  (RBD), a kind of grappling hook that grips onto host cells, and the  cleavage site, a molecular can opener that allows the virus to crack  open and enter host cells.

 Evidence for natural evolution

 The  scientists found that the RBD portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins  had evolved to effectively target a molecular feature on the outside of  human cells called ACE2, a receptor involved in regulating blood  pressure. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was so effective at binding the  human cells, in fact, that the scientists concluded it was the result of  natural selection and not the product of genetic engineering.

 This  evidence for natural evolution was supported by data on SARS-CoV-2’s  backbone – its overall molecular structure. If someone were seeking to  engineer a new coronavirus as a pathogen, they would have constructed it  from the backbone of a virus known to cause illness. But the scientists  found that the SARS-CoV-2 backbone differed substantially from those of  already known coronaviruses and mostly resembled related viruses found  in bats and pangolins.

 “These two features of the virus, the  mutations in the RBD portion of the spike protein and its distinct  backbone, rules out laboratory manipulation as a potential origin for  SARS-CoV-2” said Andersen.

Update 42

It hit America hard in the middle of March 2020. Even with the mass riots in the stores (over toilet paper), and the total fuck-up on COVID-19 test kits… Americans still refuse to wear masks and Donald Trump is still saying that it’s a hoax or not as bad as the flu.

People(!) it has boomeranged back and hit the USA, and Ameria is not anywhere near as capable of dealing with it like the Chinese are.

Karma.

Update 43

America is overwhelmed. Everyone followed the nonsense about not wearing masks and now the entire nation is in trouble. The anti-China propiganda is relentless.

Harry Moroz @hrmoroz - 15:35 UTC · Mar 20, 2020 
For  the average American the best way to tell if you have covid-19 is to  cough in a rich person’s face and wait for their test results 

And this thought is interesting…

 China and Russia have adopted a policy to contain and eliminate the  Evil Virus, while much of the rest of the world has a policy of "Let 'Er  Rip!". These two policies are fundamentally incompatible, with the  result that China (and Russia) will have to seal itself off from the  rest of the world. If Chinese people can not freely move around the  world, their various development projects will be very difficult to  manage.

 Uncle Sam is always talking about "containing" those Evil Chinese and  Dastardly Russians, and now it appears they have found a way to do  that, at least for the moment. A little further along the timeline,  China's partners will also adopt contain-and-eliminate and move firmly  into China's "sphere of influence".
 
 Eventually that will leave disease-ridden, poverty-stricken Uncle Sam  completely isolated, and the rest of the world will breathe a sigh of  relief.

And others are getting with the program…

... I would differ from you only in that I would say that what the US is  engaged in is actual biological warfare. I don't think that there is much doubt that under international law the US guilt is easily established. As is that of its accessories.

People are noticing…

 https://southfront.org/in-video-putin-visits-hospital-treating-covid-19-patients-in-moscow/

 Putin, xi and non western world leaders, erdogan, orban, Netanyahu   are actually showing what it takes during a crisis, if you live in us  look to foreign more responsible governments during this crisis for news  and updates. America just spits politicized garbage over its propoganda  channels while Americans infect each other.

 Anyone who is against lockdowns does not understand this disease. 

GDP  is everything in China, for it to sacrifice an entire city during lunar  new year and to shutdown all schools and immobilize people shows the  severity. Wuhan virus circulated nearly 2 months before lockdown was  called, Chinese attempted everything before lockdown but was forced to  lockdown and show the world once the situation got untenable, the level  where wuhan locked down fully was 1000 deaths in a county of 1.5  billion. 

If they weren’t afraid they wouldn’t shut down, if people could  still interact commonly without mass infection they would be allowed  to. 

The problem is that this disease is undetectable without mass  testing for the damage is done by the time you realize you have it,  you’ve already ruined your lungs/organs permanently and may have  infected your entire family and close contacts. 

It appears to be spread  easily due to surface contact, even the ground or walls, and does not  die easily, countries around the world spray aerosols and disinfectants  to combat it, even poor countries like Iran attempt a wide general  disinfectant or public walk areas. 

This is what scares me the most, if  the virus died on surfaces after days there would be no need for China  to be spraying buildings and streets that have ALREADY BEEN CLOSED WEEKS  unless this disease spreads WAY EASIER AND LASTS LONGER on surfaces  then we know of, the only information out is on SARS which although  similar, appears to have a longer life and easier spread. 

I don’t feel  safe Until America begins similar disinfectant missions in train  stations, bus stations and airports and with the massive homeless  population in the americas Covid epicenters, San Fran, Seattle, la, and  New York street disinfectants may have no effect as these people go  around shitting on the streets

Update 44

The situation in America is very sad, and people are noticing.

Our government lacks basic competence, even in comparison to other governments:  Everyone with half a brain knows that comparing the private sector to  the government is like comparing flying cross country to driving cross  country. That being said, if you are driving cross country, you’re much  better off driving a new BMW than a 1987 Yugo. 

When you see a worldwide  crisis like the Coronavirus, you might think that the United States  would be leading the way, but actually it’s Denmark and South Korea.  Denmark is leading the way with their economic ideas for the crisis  (offering to cover 75-90% of employee salaries in hard-hit industries to  try to prevent mass firings) and South Korea has been the best at  fighting the virus (mass testing including widely available drive-thru  testing, thoroughly tracing & quarantining individual cases and  letting the public know where they’ve been, hand sanitizer everywhere).  

Depending on your political leanings, you might blame our problems on  Trump’s verbal gaffes or Democrats trying to use the virus as an excuse  to push their pet projects for our less than stellar performance, but  those are symptoms, not the disease. 

We have a hidebound, legalistic bureaucracy that’s almost uniformly incompetent and our political culture is centered around politicians saying things we want to hear, not getting results or achievements. Until we demand more, we’re going to be stuck with a Burger King quality government even though we’re paying enough to have Gordon Ramsay make us a 5-course meal. 

- 5 Long Term Lessons We Have Already Learned From the Coronavirus Crisis 

Update 45

People are starting to see the reality for what it is.

Though, people are beginning to see the obvious propaganda. Check out this post at MoA; "China Did Not Deceive Us - Counting Death During An Epidemic Is Really Difficult".

Americans are waking up, and just read the comments. All of them are pretty much seeing America as the "King without any clothes on". Maybe this pile on propaganda onslaught will ease up soon. But don't get too soft and comfortable. It will just change form.

"The fact that China had an outbreak of corona virus dose not mean it originated in China ! This virus came from a USA /UK bio warfare lab."

Update 46

Ten Questions About Covid-19

  1. Why did the President fire the entire US Pandemic Response Team in May, 2018? “The White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense’s job was to be the smoke alarm — keeping watch to get ahead of emergencies, sounding a warning at the earliest sign of fire — all with the goal of avoiding a six-alarm blaze.” [Washington Post, March 13, 2020]
  2. Why did this 2019 simulation not cause America to prepare for such an outbreak? “From last January to August, America’s Health and Human Services ran a simulation, code-named “Crimson Contagion,” that imagined an influenza pandemic: the outbreak of the respiratory virus began in China and was quickly spread around the world by air travelers, who ran high fevers. In the US, it was first detected in Chicago, and 47 days later, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic but, by then, 110 million Americans were ill, 7.7 million hospitalized and 586,000 dead.” [New York Times].
  3. After the WHO warned of an outbreak January 1, why did the CDC forbid Covid-19 testing until March?
  4. Why did CDC Director Robert Redfield not reveal the dates or locations of Americans whom he said were diagnosed as dying from influenza but later tested posthumously as positive for Covid-19?
  5. Why will our CDC not reveal when patient zero was detected in the US? This helps determine the time of initial infection, estimate the scope of transmission, the scale of the epidemic, and location of the intermediate host.
  6. Why will our CDC not reveal the earliest positive test result confirmed by a tissue samples? Epidemiologists, pathologists and public health authorities need this.
  7. Why will our CDC not reveal the names of the US hospitals where they were first detected?  
  8. Why are tests so few? Tiny South Korea tests more people in one day than we test in a month. Why?
  9. How many people are currently infected in the US? It has been almost three months since we learned of Covid-19 yet we have no idea how many of us are infected??
  10. Why does the CDC classify its coronavirus deliberations and why are HHS Coronavirus meetings held in Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities, usually reserved for intelligence and military operations?

Update 47 – Timeline

From Godfree Roberts;

Covid-19 TIMELINE
As of April 2, 2020
By: Godfree Roberts

September 2008: Though the first cases of H1N1 swine flu were reported in California and Texas in late March, 2009, genetic analysis suggests that it began six months earlier This is significant because the CDC now admits that early Covid-19 cases went undetected.

May 28, 2015 More than 200 US biosafety level 3 and 4 labs working with dangerous pathogens and keep their safety records secret. Fort Detrick, Virginia is one of twelve in that state.

May 16, 2018: The White House Fires the entire US Pandemic Response Team.

May 2nd, 2019– The chemical and biological defense unit of USA Defense Fort Detrick, VA announced its bid to develop SARS and MERS virus inhibitors.

June 14, 2019– CDC finds US Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, VA non-compliant with its pathogen control agreement.

June 30, 2019– Unidentified pneumonia in Springfield, Virginia nursing home near Fort Detrick, VA, 15 minutes from Fort Belvoir, VA, where the US team trained for the Wuhan Military Games.

July 9, 2019–The White House withdraws its only US epidemiologist embedded with China’s CDC. Why?

July 9th, 2019 Report of vape pneumonia 100km southeast of Fort Detrick, VA. The lung images showed the Covid-19 ground glass shadow. Still unexplained.

July 12th, 2019–Respiratory outbreak at Springfield, Virginia assisted care facility, near Fort Detrick, kills 2, sickens 54. A third patient dies four days later. Deaths remain unexplained to this day.

Jul 14, 2019–Chinese researcher escorted from infectious disease lab amid RCMP investigation. Public Health Agency of Canada describes it as a possible ‘policy breach,’ no risk to Canadian public. Did she discover the Covid-19 outbreak?

July 17th, 2019–A pneumonia epidemic report reported at a nursing home in Burke, VA,56 minutes from Fort Detrick, VA. It remains unexplained to this day.

July 26, Virginia State Health Bureau takes measures to prevent the spread of the pneumonia epidemic, including stopping collective activities, screening residents, and extra cleanliness.

August 5th, Media widely reports that the CDC’s closure of Fort Detrick, VA was for national security.

August 6, 2019–CDC shuts down America’s main biological warfare lab at Fort Detrick, VA, an unheard-of civilian intervention in military affairs. A senior scientist describes the atmosphere there as one of “fear and mistrust.” The CDC refuses to provide details.

August 19th, CDC expands patient detection system with the same symptoms as existing patients.

Aug 26, 2019 – The Virginia Department of Health confirms three cases of severe lung illness associated with the use of e-cigarettes, known as vaping.

September 2019–A nationwide outbreak of a mysterious pneumonia causes severe respiratory problems in hundreds of people, kills 54. So-called ‘vaping-associated lung disease’ shares same symptoms as Covid-19 and images invariably show the same bilateral ground-glass opacities.

Oct. 18, 2019–The Deputy Director of the CIA participated in a Johns Hopkins, WEF, and the Gates Foundation hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise codenamed Event 201 modeling a fictional coronavirus pandemic.

November, 2019–Coronavirus identified in Italy after laboratory tests isolated a strain of the virus from an Italian patient with genetic differences from the original strain isolated in China. Massimo Galli, professor of infectious diseases at the University of Milan said, “Very strange pneumonias” circulated in Europe as early as November last year (2018).

December 5, 2019. A Chinese medical researcher is arrested in Boston trying to take biological samples back to China. Zheng Zaosong, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, confessed to taking material from a lab in Boston. FBI Special Agent Kara Spice found 21 wrapped vials containing a “brown liquid” that appeared to be “biological material” (samples of post-mortem lung tissue look like ‘brown liquid’). Zheng’s roommate, also a researcher, told FBI agents that two labmates of Zheng had succeeded in getting specimens to China. China, presumably, now went on high alert.

Dec. 27, 2019 – Dr. Zhang Jixian, ICU doctor at Hubei Hospital reports to Wuhan Municipal Health Commission on pneumonia patients with an unknown cause.

Dec. 28, 2019– Three more patients arrive at the hospital, all related to Huanan Seafood Market.

Jan. 9, 2020–Chinese officials announce coronavirus outbreak with 44 confirmed cases.

Jan 11, 2020–China uploads the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus to an international database but it was unclear how serious this was or if serious actions should be taken: winter, flu and pneumonia are common, but discerning a novel, serious outbreak is no simple matter.

Jan. 15, 2020.– Oxford University’s Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease group says Covid-19 reached the UK no later than mid-January and may have infected half the population by March 21.

Jan. 18, 2020–US HHS runs a 6-month, “Crimson Contagion” scenario of a respiratory virus pandemic that begins in China and quickly spreads around the world.

Jan. 21, 2020 – WHO confirms human-to-human transmission of the virus.

Jan. 23, 2020 – Complete cordon sanitaire (not quarantine) around Wuhan.

Jan. 24, 2020–Slate op-ed by the New America Foundation proclaims, “Many of China’s actions to date are overly aggressive and ineffective in quelling the outbreak.” The Los Angeles Times calls President Xi’s efforts to rally the country, “Shoddy propaganda.” The Economist depicts China as an authoritarian plague threatening the world more than any pandemic.

Jan. 28, 2020– First confirmed coronavirus case at Seattle clinic.

Jan. 29, 2020–WHO rejects accusations that China was responsible for the global spread of COVID-19. Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says, “[China’s] actions actually helped prevent the spread of coronavirus to other countries.”

Feb. 15, 2020–CDC announces that its tests were flawed and recalls them.

Feb 16-24, 2020–2020 Said the WHO’s chief executive director for health emergencies, Michael Ryan of Ireland, “I have never seen the scale and commitment of an epidemic response at this level in terms of all of government. The challenge is great, but the response has been massive, and the Chinese government deserve huge credit for that response and for the transparency in which they have dealt with this.”

Feb. 25, 2020 – Without government approval, Dr. Helen Chu and University of Washington colleagues begin coronavirus testing and get an immediate positive Covid-19 result. By then, the virus has contributed to the deaths of two people and would kill twenty more in the Seattle region over the following days.

March 3, 2020–CDC announces it will distribute diagnostic kits to test 75,000 people by March 17. The CDC decided not to adopt a test approved by the World Health Organization and instead forged ahead with its own test.

March 9, 2020–HHS staffers often weren’t informed about coronavirus developments because they didn’t have adequate clearance. A source familiar with the meetings said he was told that the matters were classified “because it had to do with China.”

March 11, 2020–White House classifies all coronavirus deliberations and shifts HHS meetings to a secure area called a “Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility,” or SCIF, usually reserved for intelligence and military operations during biowarfare or chemical attacks.

March 12, 2020–Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian says the United States that lacks transparency. “When did patient zero begin in the US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be the US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! The US owes us an explanation!”

March 13, 2020–“If I get COVID, I’m going to China,” said Dr. Bruce Aylward, the WHO’s Assistant Director-General and head of the agency’s COVID-19 mission. “They know how to keep people alive. What I saw was a tremendous sense of responsibility, and of duty, to protect their families, their communities, and even the world, from this disease,” reflected Aylward. “I left with such a deep sense of admiration for the people of Wuhan and for Chinese society in general.”

March 18, 2020–Secretary of State Mike Pompeo vows to increase crushing sanctions on Iran though it is already preventing the country from purchasing vital medicine and ventilators. In Venezuela, meanwhile, U.S. sanctions have increased the cost of a coronavirus test to three times more than in non-sanctioned countries.

March 20, 2020–US State Department cables all officials: “NSC Top Lines: [PRC] Propaganda and Disinformation on the Wuhan Virus Pandemic. Chinese Communist Party officials in Wuhan and Beijing had a special responsibility to inform the Chinese people and the world of the threat, since they were the first to learn of it. Instead, the… government hid news of the virus from its own people for weeks, while suppressing information and punishing doctors and journalists who raised the alarm. The Party cared more about its reputation than its own people’s suffering. “These talking points are all anyone is really talking about right now,” one official said. “Everything is about China. We’re being told to try and get this messaging out in any way possible, including press conferences and television appearances.”

March 24, 2020–Three-quarters of China’s workforce was back on the job.

March 27, 2020–The U.S. military stops providing some of the more granular data about coronavirus infections within its ranks, citing concern that the information might be used by adversaries as the virus spreads.

March 27, 2020–China’s Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 52, above the 50 threshold signifies expansion.

March 30, 2020–The US Defense Department orders commanders at all of its installations worldwide to stop announcing publicly new coronavirus cases among their personnel, as more than 1,000 U.S. military-linked people had been sickened by the virus.

April 2, 2020–US has the most Covid-19 infections of any country in the world.

9SEP20 Update

Apparently, the China Government agrees with my appraisal. From a message group that I belong to…

Chinese propaganda getting good. Unlike West propaganda, Chinese includes evidence. exactly consistent with Uriah Heep's version. Thanks Jeff, but Kevin it may be a conspiracy that Heep told it in real time and official docu youtubed 8 months later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEo3qk-4yx8

Finally…

America has a very long history of using germ warfare to suppress it’s enemies. The idea that they would continue to do this is hardly radical. It is an accurate and natural progression of behavior.

To deny this is to be ignorant in the face of facts.

“The Chinese are DISGUSTING, souless frauds. I hope Coronavirus wipes out EVERY last one.” 

- @melpol posted on Unz.com 

I doesn’t matter what you think; what you believe. I doesn’t matter what CNN, FOX or MSNBC says.

All that matters is what China (and by extension, Russia) thinks.

China is convinced that this is a biological weapon.

They went to DEFCON ONE and mobilized their entire military, and locked the entire nation down. You do NOT do this with a flu, even if it is a bad flu. You do this ONLY if your entire nation is under attack.

This entire article supports the narrative that the Chinese government, the Chinese military are treating this outbreak as;

  • A WMD attack by a bioweapon,
  • As part of the on-going Trump Trade-War,
  • Designed to inflict damage on China to slow it’s growth,
  • Like the Chicken flu…
  • And the swine flu, propagated by drones, were.

So rather than waste your time trying to tell me that I am wrong, how about contacting Xi Peng and tell him yourself, instead. Tell the President of China that he is wrong. That it’s all just coiencidences. That China is over-reacting. You tell him yourself. Don’t waste your time telling me.

Mark my words, there WILL be repercussions over this.

Now, READ this… This is part two of this article….

The USA and China are now entangled in the Thucydides Trap; this is the entire story.

Links

Some general links…

It is very easy to find links and discussions of “the illegal collection of Chinese DNA by America” on the internet as the following links attest.

Here’s some HK links in English. There shouldn’t be any question that drones were used to spread swine flu during the heat of the trump trade wars. That is all well documented.

Whether they worked in behalf of the USA government is speculation. Most articles claim that they are working independently as part of a “criminal element”.

As far as the design of the drones, most commercially available drones are manufactured in Guangzhou. So, getting some drones and having them modified professionally, locally within China isn’t too much of a stretch. I do that all the time myself for other “projects”.

What is the question that people should be asking is HOW the “criminal elements” got a hold of “swine flu”, and learned how to handle it, use it, and disseminate it. Because, boys and girls, the virus dies once it is removed from a live host…

More info…

The very strange coincidence that an "exercise" was conducted in New York City involving a Coronavirus Pandemic two months before the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic outbreak.
Here’s a coincidence. On October 18th the Johns Hopkins  Center for Health Security, in conjunction with the World Economic Forum  and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, brought together “15  leaders of business, government, and public health” to simulate a  scenario in which a coronavirus pandemic was ravaging the planet.  Two months later, a very serious coronavirus pandemic breaks out in Wuhan, China. Here we discuss this matter.
Videos regarding the 2020 Coronavirus and how the Chinese residents coped.
This post is very top-heavy with videos that were taken at the start of the 2020 Chinese New Year at the same time that the Coronavirus outbreak. As I post this, all the roads have roadblocks and police in hazmat suits are performing 100% checks for the illness. It's a frightening and terrifying time.
