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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

-MSN

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:

  • July 9th, Report of vape pneumonia 100km southeast of Fort Detrick, VA. The lungs showed the ground glass shadow typical of Covid-19. Still unexplained.
  • July 12th, 2019–Respiratory outbreak at Springfield, Virginia assisted care facility, near Fort Detrick, VA kills 2, sickens 54. A third patient dies four days later. Deaths remain unexplained to this day.
  • 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. 
  • In July 2019, a group of Chinese virologists were forcibly removed 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.

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–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 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.

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.

A video surfaced that alleges that an American service person appears to purposefully spread COVID in Wuhan.

She is also described as an “armed diplomatic driver” with a history of ties to intelligence operations involving key RussiaGate figures.

Benassi was driver for General James Jones, of ShadowNet, (George Webb) and worked for US Army intelligence.  ShadowNet and Psy-Group along with Cambridge Analytica were part of the Mueller investigation, seeking information on their relationships with Paul Manafort (imprisoned) and Donald Trump Jr. (not yet imprisoned).

2 November 2019 – Wuhan Outbreaks.

The first (well established) coronavirus case in Wuhan appeared two weeks later, on November 2. [renamed to COVID-19]

Relative locations of the Wuhan vaccine lab, and where the American soldiers stayed, relative to the Wuhan wet market. Note that the American soldiers shared a hotel with Iranian, and North Korean and Italian soldiers at that location.

Keep in mind that the Coronavirus incubation period is 14 days.

So, fourteen days later…

15 November 2019

29 June 2018
“”Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources “Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event,” a source says.”” https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources/story?id=70031273 So the CIA knew before China about a virus outbreak of pandemic proportions?!.

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. 

- Ultimation 007
   

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.  

- Pangolins Latest Animal Identified as Intermediate Coronavirus Host 

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.” 

- Scientist Explains New Study Revealing Coronavirus May ... 

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. To control the spread of the disease, a team of doctors is brought in that includes a contagious disease expert (Dustin Hoffman).

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.
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.”  

(See: Spanish Flu of 1918 Was Really a Bioterror Attack on Humanity)

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.
  • On October 18th, 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in conjunction with the World Economic Forum assembled “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. The Chinese were not invited. The members took notes, and then returned to their day to day operations.
  • In Simulation Run 3 Months Ago, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Predicted Up To 65 Million Deaths Via Coronavirus.
  • 300 US military personnel arrived in Wuhan for the Military World Games on October 19. The first coronavirus case appeared two weeks later, on November 2. Coronavirus incubation period is 14 days.
  • Two months later a very similar coronavirus pandemic hit China at Wuhan, a major transport hub in Central China and for the high-speed train network, and with 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 right at the Spring Festival travel rush when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to be with their families.
  • The Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is 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.
  • SARS had 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 . . .” Several Russian scientists suggested a link between SARS and biowarfare. 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.”
  • 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.” Dr. Cantwell noted that the genetic engineering of coronaviruses has been occurring in both medical and military labs for decades. 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.”
  • The virus outbreak coincides with the trade war on China.
  • The virus outbreak coincides with the HK “pro democracy” riots fully funded and instigated by the NED / CIA.
  • The virus outbreak occurred just after Swine Flu decimated the Chinese pork industry.
  • The virus outbreak occurred just after Bird Flu decimated the Chinese chicken industry.
  • The virus outbreak occurred just before NED support and training of Uyghur Muslim extremists.
  • This month, CNN published a gleeful (and untrue) report, “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.”

What will America do next?

  • Nuclear plant meltdown?
  • Mysterious deaths in the Chinese leadership ranks.
  • Armed fighting in Taiwan?
  • Collapse of a dam?
  • Sinking of cargo ships?
  • Mysterious disappearance of a passenger plane or ship?
  • Launch of 50 ICBM’s that annihilate China completely?

Do not be under the mistaken assumption that America will stop, or that China will continue to accept this status quo. It can only proceed so long before all fucking Hell breaks loose.

I’ve said this over and over … please listen for once.

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 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.

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."

The Fake News kings: Western media about China: 

Xi Jinping is not the president but the "paramount leader" of China... 

Chinese media don't bring news because they're the "mouthpiece" of the Party...  

China doesn't fire officials, it "purges" them... 

China doesn't requisition private hospitals during a health 
emergency by passing laws, it "seizes" them ...

Chinese leaders don't strengthen laws, they "concentrate power"... 

China doesn't give out loans, they "trap" countries in debt... 

China doesn't punish corrupt officials, they "net" them... 

Chinese media doesn't report news, it reports "propaganda"... 

China doesn't revise counting methodologies, it "under-reports" cases ...

Chinese companies don't innovate, they "steal IP" ...

Chinese people are not patriotic, they're "brainwashed" ...

Chinese provinces don't win PISA tests, they "selectively nominate the best schools". . .

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 9

February 10th, a group of companies will try to resume work, if you happen to be employees of these enterprises, please be sure to take a hard look at the following 10 recommendations:

1, carry your ID card with you

2, at least 3 masks.

3, vial alcohol 1 bottle (but please note keeping, do not smoke)

4, 1 phone sealbag

5, pen 1

6, home-cooked meals

7. Don’t touch colleagues

8, wash your hands frequently

9, cycling to and from work

10. Looking for a new job (don’t ask why, this time to let you go to work company, must not be a good company ( tears) #职场达人说#职场进化论 #

Translation from the Chinese government alert;

2月10日即将有一批公司尝试复工,如果你正好是这些企业的员工,请一定要认真看以下10条建议: 1,随身携带身份证 2,至少3个口罩 3,小瓶酒精1瓶(但请注意保管,别抽烟) 4,手机密封袋1个 5,笔1只 6,自家煮的饭菜 7,不要触碰同事 8、勤洗手 9、骑车上下班 10、寻找新工作(不要问为什么,这个时间还要让你们去上班的公司,一定不是什么好公司[泪奔])#职场达人说# #职场进化论#

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.  

-ALS

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…

How convenient. America patented the conoravirus, and now America has the vaccine. Amazing how that works.

Update 24

"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.”

Bats, Gene Editing and Bio Weapons: Recent DARPA experiments Raise Concerns Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

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…

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.
 
Finally, we have this…

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.

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

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.”

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.

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.

 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

If America implements conflict against Russia or China, it will lose bigly. An interview with Andrei Martyanov.

This is an interesting interview with Andrei Martyanov. He is a Russian military expert who emigrated to the United States. In it he argues that the stranglehold of American propaganda by the mainstream media has created a dangerous situation – one in which the “fake news” is believed by the American leadership.

ANDREI MARTYANOV is an expert on Russian military and naval issues. He was born in Baku, USSR in 1963. He graduated from the Kirov Naval Red Banner Academy and served as an officer on the ships and staff position of Soviet Coast Guard through 1990. He took part in the events in the Caucasus which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

- Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning 

He explains that the American leadership, knowing full well that the media is a propaganda tool, actually believes much of the propaganda that they create. This is true on all levels.

The American leadership actually believes this “news”. Not only the “fake news” from CNN, MSNBC an WaPo but also from the conservative and alternative “Right wing” media.

He argues that this is extraordinarily dangerous.

Andrei Martyanov.
Andrei Martyanov.

This belief in American propaganda is dangerous because it creates a situation where foolish men in leadership positions can make some very serious mistakes.

The majority of travelers I have met see foreign lands entirely through  the filter glasses of their home front. Their worldview is shaped by  government schools, Hollywood actors, television programming, mainstream  pressing, and the resulting illusion of “us being the good guys.” When  they travel, they carry a lifetime supply of brainwash shampoo with  them. A backpack full of sheep’s wool over their eyes. And a dumbed-down  uniform of sweatshop t-shirts, shorts and sandals that sores the eye of  the beholder.

-Doug Casey, International Man 

Mistakes, Leadership mistakes, that could absolutely devastate the United States. The leadership of a healthy and functioning nation needs good and accurate intelligence. It cannot rely own it’s own propaganda to base decisions upon.

History is full of stories of the destruction of cities, nations and empires that fell due to the bad Intel, and decisions by the top leadership. Read about the destruction of Hungary by Genghis Khan, if you don't believe me.

Or, consider the Marketing strategy of Gillette with their "Men are inherently foul pigs" campaign (to sell razors).

Or, consider Hollywood and their bevy of all-female re-writes of famous movies. Movies that no one will watch. Like "Oceans 8".

Or, consider what happened to NFL football, when the team owners permitted the players to protest against America.

Now, consider what might happen to America if it believes the narrative that both Russia and China are backwards, third-world shit holes and are no match for the United States military...

Ah. Andrei . You do not need to believe him. You just need to consider that he has some good ideas and makes some valid points.

Now, I find that he has some good points, especially his appraisal on the ignorance of the Washington “insider” class. His ideas are able to explain much of the strange decision processes that originate out of Washington DC today.

Andrei wrote…

Time after time the American military has failed to match lofty  declarations about its superiority, producing instead a mediocre record  of military accomplishments. 

Starting from the Korean War the United States hasn’t won a single war against a technologically inferior, but  mentally tough enemy.  
  • Vietnam
  • Syria
  • Lybia
  • Somalia
  • Yemen
  • Lebanon
  • Iraq
The technological dimension of American “strategy” has completely overshadowed any concern with the social, cultural,  operational and even tactical requirements of military (and political)  conflict. 

With a new Cold War with Russia emerging, the United States  enters a new period of geopolitical turbulence completely unprepared in  any meaningful way—intellectually...

... economically, 

... militarily...

...or culturally

... to face a reality which was hidden for the last 70+ years  behind the curtain of never-ending Chalabi moments...

... and a strategic delusion concerning Russia, whose history the US viewed through a Solzhenitsified caricature kept alive by a powerful neocon lobby, which  even today dominates US policy makers’ minds.  
The book  Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning  explores the  dramatic difference between the Russian and US approach to warfare,  which manifests itself across the whole spectrum of activities from art  and the economy, to the respective national cultures; 

Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning   illustrates the  fact that Russian economic, military and cultural realities and power are no longer what American “elites” think they are by addressing  Russia’s new and elevated capacities in the areas of traditional warfare as well as cyberwarfare and space; 

Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning  studies in depth several ways in which the US can simply stumble into conflict with Russia and what must be done to avoid it. 

Martyanov’s former Soviet military background  enables deep insight into the fundamental issues of warfare and military  power as a function of national power—assessed correctly, not through  the lens of Wall Street “economic” indices and a FIRE economy, but  through the numbers of enclosed technological cycles and culture, much  of which has been shaped in Russia by continental warfare and which is  practically absent in the US.

Indeed, a point that I have “hammered” over and over again, is the idea that the most dangerous propaganda is the news reports that we WANT to believe.

Propaganda works best when we WANT to believe the lies told to us.

Such as 11 million Uighur Muslims are in reeducation concentration camps in Xinjiang China. That America must "do something" to free the poor Muslim innocents! All, yes ALL of conservative news is full of these stories and the figure of 11 million is bantered about without question.

Except...

No one can point out where these concentration camps are. 

You cannot find them on Google Earth. And you should. After all, the population of New York City is 6 million people. So a concentration camp housing 11 million people would be over twice the size of New York city. It would be pretty fucking big. Bigger than the largest city in America, and then some.

You would be able to see it from the Moon.

If there were 11 concentration camps in Xinjiang, China, (each one million people in size) then you would be able to easily locate all eleven Atlanta, Georgia sized complexes on Google Earth. Where are all these concentration camps?

Simple math.

Simple thought process.

... Propaganda. Don't fall for it.

Anyways, he makes a great point.

Our American leadership has taken to actually believing what is being repeated day in and day out by the lying American mainstream press. And this is very dangerous.

Some minor Russian Naval ships.
Some minor Russian Naval ships.

You might not like his opinions, but please just view his point of view as something that you will not hear from the mainstream, or alt-conservative news. As such it is a valuable alternative view point.

One that should be taken seriously.

The interview.

Yvonne Lorenzo interviews Andrei Martyanov …

Yvonne Lorenzo: I’d like to discuss the central thesis of your first book, Losing Military Supremacy. Aside from a civil war in the late 1800s, the United States has never experienced the effects of a devastating war fought on its own soil by foreign nation and believes it is invulnerable and won’t be attacked. To the contrary, Russians to this day know the price of war. If you would be so kind to summarize, if possible, the key points you wished to make known about Russia.

"America believes that it is invulnerable and won’t ever be attacked."

Andrei Martyanov: In a sense, my new book, The Real Revolution in Military Affairs, is a continuation of my first one—Losing Military Supremacy.

The difference is that I get more in depth into the tactical, operational and technological issues—to a degree that is possible in what amounts to a geopolitical study—to demonstrate and drive my point home…

… that the current American political elites are utterly delusional on the nature of modern warfare…

… especially in a peer-to-peer scenario of which the United States hasn’t faced since WW II.

My point is very simple…

…the ignorance of the American ruling class of modern warfare is such that it has become a clear and present danger for the world…

… since, while improbable at this stage, it is totally plausible to see at some point of time someone in the US political top losing it…

…and unleashing a confrontation with Russia, or China…

…being fully convinced, mostly by Hollywood or [Tom] Clancy-esque pseudo military fiction…

The Hunt for Red October is a 1990 American submarine spy-thriller film directed by John McTiernan, produced by Mace Neufeld, and starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones, and Sam Neill. The film is an adaptation of Tom Clancy's 1984 bestselling novel of the same name. It is the first installment of the Jack Ryan film series.

…that the United States and NATO can attack Russia and survive.

That, America could attack Russia or China and it would remain unscathed and devastate the rest of the world and America would not suffer at all.

That’s the danger…

…especially in a country whose elites completely lost their mind and are delusional…

Rulership class in America are bat-shit crazy.

American leadership, on both sides of the political spectrum, plus the oligarchy that controls them are completely delusional and out of touch with the American citizens, the rest of the world, and the comparative technological strengths of America.

The arms race.

The US did lose the arms race.

The arms race was not lost in 2018 or even 2015, however; it was lost much earlier and it was mostly due to the US media-propaganda machine…

… which kept it secret from the US public.

It still continues to do so but it is increasingly difficult to keep it under wraps when information, including imagery of what Russia does in this field becomes increasingly available.

But that is just part of the issue: I write about predictors—the real economy, scientific development, education, etc.—for war’s outcomes [are] non-stop.

Other people have written about these predictors. Not once do they agree with the narrative coming out of the American mainstream media.

In the end, when I state that the US elites have no clue about the size and complexity of Russia’s economy, it is one thing…

…but when I state that they basically have no clue about their own economy, not Wall Street’s cooking of books, I can rely on some serious American professionals in the field.

After all, it was Trump’s White House which initiated Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States.

The report was prepared by an Inter-agency Task Force in September 2018 and reads as an epitaph to the US machine-building complex…

… and the issue is not just massive de-industrialization…

America has still not recovered from the de-industrialization of the last forty years.
America has still not recovered from the de-industrialization of the last forty years. It is not going to recover in only one or two years.

… or the lack of a labor force which can fill in for departing old-timers…

…with many in the new generation of Americans being mostly interested in pot and drugs or in avoiding any productive labor…

…nor money alone can solve the problem of America’s declining military strength, which was always overstated to start with.

It is the culture, an institutional one, which is responsible for this decline.

The decline of American culture

The United States is very good at building extremely expensive and dubiously effective (against a competent enemy) power projection forces, which by definition are offensive and aggressive.

Once one gets into the issues of actual defense, the picture changes dramatically for the United States.

Read this assessment of the true and actual American defense picture from townhall.com.  "We Are Going To Lose The Coming War With China" by Kurt Schlichter. It opens up in a separate tab.

It is enough to mention the whole non-stop hysteria about Turkey buying and activating the S-400 complex, with India already having a 5 billion dollar contract signed with Russia, and many Arab states lining up for Russian-made air and anti-missile systems, not to mention combat aircraft, such as a contact for SU-35s between Egypt and Russia signed, following next.

S-400 complex launching system.
S-400 complex launching system.

All of it creates an extremely emotional reaction in the United States, but the fact that Russian military technology is in some key defense fields better than anything out there was never in doubt.

S-400 complex launching system with potential targets that it is designed to strike.
S-400 complex launching system with potential targets that it is designed to strike.

It is enough to recall Vietnam, but in the time of radio and printed media it was easier to control narratives.

The American media blitz on this subject is constant and unyielding.

Today it is extremely difficult.

Russia always built weapons to effectively kill the enemy—such is Russia’s experience with warfare, much of which being invasions of foreign powers.

The United States has zero historic experience with defending the US proper against powerful and brutal enemies.

While the Revolutionary war had some moments of brutality, as did the American civil war, neither wars EVER approached the level of absolute depraved scorched earth devastation that Russia, Europe, and China have experienced.

It is something that America has NEVER experienced.

Mexico never invaded. Canada never invaded. Russia never invaded. Cuba never invaded. Bermuda never invaded.

It is a cultural difference, a profound one and it manifests itself across the whole spectrum of activities, not just the respective military-industrial complexes.

In other words, Russians MUST build top of the line weaponry, because the safety of Russia depends on it.

Tom Clancy Delusion

Yvonne Lorenzo: You’ve written about what I’d call the “Tom Clancy Delusion” on your blog. This recent article, “The CIA’s Jack Ryan Series Is ‘Regime-Change’ Propaganda Aimed At Venezuela” noted:

 Dr. Matthew Alford of the University of Bath, author of National  Security Cinema: The Shocking New Evidence of Government Control in  Hollywood, told MintPress that the new Amazon product is a “disgrace of a  series,” unfairly demonizing a nation at a time when the United States  has its boot on the throat of Venezuelan society.
Russian SU-30SM.
Russian SU-30SM.
“The  new Jack Ryan series comes in the context of four movies stretching  back decades that have all had Department of Defense and/or CIA support  at the scriptwriting phrase,” he noted, labeling Jack Ryan as a classic  “national security entertainment product”.
The  character of Jack Ryan first appeared in Cold War era Clancy stories  such as The Hunt for Red October and The Cardinal of the Kremlin, where  the heroic Ryan battles the dark forces of the Soviet Union. 

The series  was put on hiatus but has recently returned, bringing with it much of  the same Cold War mentality and rhetoric. 

Ryan has been previously  played on screen by Hollywood stars such as Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford  and Ben Affleck.
Alford’s  book, which he co-wrote with Tom Secker, describes the enormous  influence that the national security state has on popular culture. 

Based  on Freedom of Information requested documents, the two calculated that  between 2004 and 2016, the Department of Defense was directly involved  in the production of 977 Hollywood movies or television shows, many of  which were carefully scripted, edited and curated by government agents  in order to present a certain viewpoint of the world to the public. 

For  example, the writers of Homeland were revealed to have private meetings  with ex-CIA officials before each season.
Russia's Radical Sukhoi S-37 Fighter Plane
Russia’s Radical Sukhoi S-37 Fighter Plane.
From  big budget movies like Ironman and Transformers to surprisingly banal  television productions like The Biggest Loser, Mythbusters or American  Idol, virtually every movie or television show featuring the military or  intelligence figures has been edited, scripted or funded by the  Department of Defense in order to cast the government in the best  possible light. 

Those that do not comply with the Department of  Defense’s requests are not given privileged access to, or use of,  military resources and may be attacked by the state as being unpatriotic  or deceptive.
The  constant flow of pro-security state messages has an effect on the  public. 

Researchers found that respondents who were shown torture scenes  from the television series 24 were more likely to subsequently support  the government’s policies of torture in sites like Guantanamo Bay and  Abu Ghraib. 

This held even for liberal college students. 

Andrei Martyanov: The first person of repute who challenged Tom Clancy’s fantasies was professor Roger Thompson in his seminal 2006 book Lessons Not Learned, in which he correctly asked a question how an insurance agent who never served a day in uniform and had undergraduate degree in English can write competently on any issue related to modern combat and technology.

In Clancy’s case it was clear that he was promoted, he openly writes about it in his book, by former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, for purely propaganda reasons.

Secretary of the Navy John Lehman swearing in Grace Harper.

Most of what Clancy wrote was cringe-worthy pop-literature, which could be described as incompetent military-intelligence porn.

Ouch!

Clancy never made it a secret that his Jack Ryan character was written from…Tom Clancy himself. A good testimony about late Clancy himself.

Why Jack Ryan was written as a spy as opposed to as insurance agent remains a complete mystery to me, but, I guess, whatever sells books for the late Tom Clancy.

These digs… oh, boy!

In Soviet/Russian military environment Clancy’s “literature” overwhelmingly was treated with ironic smile at best, and with Homeric laughter at worst.

Yup. How the rest of the world feels about this kind of literature, and movies.

But that pretty much describes the “level” of American “knowledge” and awareness of Russia in general and her military in particular—a caricature.

It is, however, one thing to promote caricatures in pop-art, totally another when a caricature becomes a working model for decision making at the top political level.

That is dangerous.

And his point is very, very valid…

As General Latiff of DARPA correctly noted—most of what the US public and political class know about war is from entertainment, from Hollywood to the literature of such “professionals” like the late Clancy.

The Generals won’t save us.

Yvonne Lorenzo: I quoted (retired) Major Danny Sjursen earlier. He wrote a piece title, “The Generals Won’t Save Us From The Next War” for the American Conservative. I want to reproduce an excerpt and then ask you to comment. Your disdain for the political class is well known but what about the generals in power? How capable and knowledgeable are they? How competent?

Why should any sentient citizen believe that these commanders’ former  subordinates—a new crop of ambitious generals—will step forward now and  oppose a disastrous future war with the Islamic Republic? 

Don’t believe  it! 

Senior military leaders will salute, about-face, and execute  unethical and unnecessary combat with Iran or whomever else (think  Venezuela) Trump’s war hawks, such as John Bolton, decide needs a little  regime changing.
John Bolton. Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton said that it would be great if the United States could get their hands on that Venezuelan oil, and that statement alone tells you everything that you need to know about why the US is trying so hard to interfere in Venezuelan affairs.

Need  proof that even the most highly lauded generals will sheepishly obey  the next absurd march to war? Join me in a brief trip down an ever so  depressing memory lane. 

Let us begin with my distinguished West Point  graduation speaker, Air Force General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs  Richard Myers. 

He goes down in history as as a Donald Rumsfeld lackey  because it turns out he knew full well that there were “holes” in the  Bush team’s inaccurate intelligence used to justify the disastrous Iraq  war. 

Yet we heard not a peep from Myers, who kept his mouth shut and  retired with full four-star honors.
Air Force General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs  Richard Myers
Air Force General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Richard Myers .
Then,  when Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki accurately (and somewhat  courageously) predicted in 2003 that an occupation of Iraq would  require up to half a million U.S. troops, he was quietly retired. 

Rummy  passed over a whole generation of active officers to pull a known  sycophant, General Peter Schoomaker, out of retirement to do Bush the  Younger’s bidding. 

It worked too. 

Schoomaker, despite his highly touted  special forces experience, never threw his stars on the table and called  BS on a losing strategy even as it killed his soldiers by the hundreds  and then the thousands. 

Having heard him (unimpressively) speak at West  Point in 2005, I still can’t decide whether he lacked the intellect to  do so or the conscience. 

Maybe both.
General Peter Schoomaker.
General Peter Schoomaker.
After  Bush landed a fighter plane on a carrier and triumphantly announced  “mission accomplished” in Iraq, poor Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez,  the newest three-star in the Army, took over the hard part of conquest:  bringing the “natives” to heel. 

He utterly failed, being too reliant on  what he knew—Cold War armored combat—and too ambitious to yell “stop!”  

Soon after, it came to light that Sanchez had bungled the  investigation—or cover-up (take your pick)—of the massive abuse scandal  at Abu Ghraib prison.
Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez.
Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez.
General John Abizaid was one of the most disappointing in a long line of subservient generals. 

It seems Abizaid knew better: he knew the Iraq war  couldn’t be won, that it was best to hand over control to the Iraqis  posthaste, that General David Petraeus’s magical “surge” snake oil  wouldn’t work. 

Still, Abizaid didn’t quit and retired quietly. 

He’s now  Trump’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, which is far from comforting.
General John Abizaid .
General John Abizaid .
Lieutenant  General H.R. McMaster was heralded as an outside-the-box thinker. 

And  indeed, he was a Gulf War I hero, earned a Ph.D., taught history at West  Point, and wrote a (mostly) well-received book on Vietnam. 

Yet when  Trump appointed him national security advisor, he brought only  in-the-box military beliefs with him into the White House. 

He then  helped author a fanciful National Defense Strategy that argued the U.S.  military must be ready at a moment’s notice to fight Russia, China,  Iran, North Korea, and “terror.” 

Perhaps at the same time! 

No nuance, no  diplomatic alternatives, no cost-benefit analysis, just standard  militarism. 

These days, McMaster is running around decrying what he  calls a “defeatist narrative” and arguing for indefinite war in the  Middle East.
Lieutenant  General H.R. McMaster .

Then  there was the other Washington insider and “liberal” favorite, one of a  trio of “adults in the room,” General Jim Mattis. 

Though sold to the  public as a “warrior monk,” Mattis offered no alternative to America’s  failing forever wars. 

In fact, when he decided his conscience no longer  allowed him to stay in the Trump administration, his reason for leaving  was that the president had called for a reduction of troops in  Afghanistan after 18 senseless years. 

U.S.-supported Saudi terror  bombings that killed tens of thousands of Yemeni civilians? A  U.S.-backed Saudi blockade that starved at least 85,000 Yemeni children  to death? Yeah, he was fine with that. 

But a modest troop withdrawal  from a losing 18-year-old war in landlocked Central Asia, that he  couldn’t countenance.
General Jim Mattis
General Jim Mattis.
Then  there’s the propensity for politics and pageantry among senior military  officers. 

This was embarrassingly and unconscionably on display in the  tragic cases of Private First Class Jessica Lynch and Corporal Pat  Tillman. 

When, during the initial invasion of Iraq, the young Lynch’s  maintenance convoy got lost, she was captured and briefly detained by  Saddam’s army. 

Knowing a good public relations opportunity when they saw  it, Bush’s staff and the generals concocted a slew of comforting lies:  Lynch was a hero who had fought to her last bullet (she’d never fired  her rifle), she’d been tortured (she hadn’t), her combat-camera equipped  commando rescue had come just in the nick of time (she was hardly  guarded and in a hospital). 

Who cares if it was all lies, if this young  woman’s terrifying experience was co-opted and embellished? The Lynch  story was media fodder.
Private First Class Jessica Lynch.
Private First Class Jessica Lynch.
More  tragic was the Pat Tillman escapade. 

Tillman was an admirable outlier,  the only professional athlete to give up a million dollar contract to  enlist in the military soon after 9/11. 

Tillman and his brother went all  in, too, choosing the elite Army Rangers. It was quite the story.  

Rumsfeld even wrote the new private a congratulatory letter. Then  reality got in the way. Tillman was killed in Afghanistan during a  friendly fire incident that can only be described as gross incompetence.  

Almost immediately, President Bush’s staff and much of the Army’s top  brass went to work crafting the big lie: a heroic narrative of Tillman’s  demise, replete with dozens of marauding Taliban fighters and a one-man  charge befitting the hard-hitting former NFL defensive back. 

Promoted  to corporal posthumously, he was awarded the Silver Star. Some of his  fellow Rangers were instructed to lie to the Tillman family at the  memorial service regarding the manner of Pat’s death.
Corporal Pat Tillman.
Corporal Pat Tillman.
Only  Bush’s neophytes and the Army’s complicit generals didn’t count on the  tenacity of Tillman’s parents. 

They waged something nearing war with the  U.S. military for several years until they found out the truth,  unearthing a cover-up that implicated Bush’s civilians and many of the  military’s four-star generals (including Stanley McChrystal, John  Abizaid, and Richard Myers). 

The Tillman family got their congressional  hearing, but the sycophantic representatives on the Hill refused to  seriously criticize the top brass and no one was seriously punished. 

Andrei Martyanov: I don’t know the exact answer to this question. I am positive that there are many highly educated and competent people in US Armed Forces but there is no denial of the fact that some segments of the US top brass are more politicians than military leaders. It is not unique to the United States Armed Forces, but the record of failures is in the open and everyone can make their own conclusions.

Fighting Russia is the goal of the political class

Yvonne Lorenzo: Your latest book, The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs provides further detail on Russia’s technological advancements. A layman, I see America as principally using bombing as artillery and proxy fighters (see Syria) on the ground—not too competent. I’ve read enough to be dangerous—having no military background—but wars can’t be won by bombing campaigns alone, even against a mediocre target (I think you called Iraq’s army third-rate).

Fighting Russia, which appears to be the goal of the political class, is not what they will expect, even if the confrontation doesn’t rise to a nuclear exchange.

I’d appreciate your summarizing some of the key points of this book but I have to ask, having read some of The Saker’s writings…

… can Russia be overwhelmed by thousands upon thousands of slow missiles, like the TLAMs…

The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile ( TLAM ) is a long-range, all-weather, jet-powered, subsonic cruise missile that is primarily used by the United States Navy and Royal Navy in ship- and submarine-based land-attack operations. It was designed and initially produced in the 1970s by General Dynamics as a medium- to long-range, low-altitude missile that could be launched from a surface platform. The missile's modular design accommodates a wide variety of warhead , guidance, and range capabilities.

… or will Russia use their “800 Pound Gorilla” in your parlance, that is…

A leaked memo confirms that Russia is developing Kanyon, the world's most powerful nuclear weapon, with twice the power of any ever tested. 

This is 2x, or double the destructive power of the most dangerous and largest nuclear weapon ever designed;  The Soviet RDS-202 hydrogen bomb (code name Ivan  or Vanya), known by Western nations as Tsar Bomba. 

Russia's New 'Satan' Nuclear Weapons System Could Wipe Out Texas or France.  Russia has for months been testing a giant nuclear weapons delivery system that can carry 10 heavyweight warheadsenough power to wipe out Texas or France. This is the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile known in Russia as "Satan 2" 

Mar 06, 2018 · Russia announced it is about to test its Satan 2 missile, a nuclear weapon so powerful it could destroy a country size the of Texas or France in seconds. While its official name is RS-28 Sarmat, NATO officials have given the weapon the nickname Satan 2, the Mirror reports. 
RS-28 Sarmat.
RS-28 Sarmat ICBM.

… does Russia have enough weapons, from cruise missiles, to defensive, to hypersonic, not to be overwhelmed…

… and are American generals aware of the risk if it does should they engage in hostilities?

Rumors of Kanyon (or Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6, as it’s known in Russia) first started swirling in 2015 following a leak on Russian television. Soon after, the nation confirmed the weapon’s existence, while claiming the leak was a mistake.

However, as defense analyst and military historian H. I. Sutton told Futurism, this leak of the latest nuclear posture review is the first official recognition of Kanyon by U.S. officials.

“The  unclassified posture review document doesn’t really tell defense  analysts anything new, but it does establish Kanyon as a military fact,”  said Sutton. “Until now, many observers had regarded the system as  ‘fake news.’ I think that this was partly because the stated  specifications are so incredible and partly because it is hard to  understand how it will be used.”

Incredible Devastation

“Incredible” is perhaps putting it mildly.

Based on leaked Russian documents,  Kanyon is a nuclear-armed autonomous torpedo capable of traveling  10,000 kilometers (6,213 miles) with a 100-megaton thermonuclear weapon  as its payload. That’s at least twice as powerful as any nuclear weapon  ever tested. According to nuclear bomb simulator Nukemap, it would instantly kill 8 million people and injure an additional 6.6 million if dropped on New York City.

Kanyon’s  weapon wouldn’t be dropped, though. It would arrive via the ocean and  bring with it a massive artificial tsunami that would blanket the  coastal area in radioactive water. If the warhead is “salted” with the  radioactive isotope Cobalt-60, as some have reported, a detonation could render contaminated areas uninhabitable by humans for an entire century.

“Kanyon is unique in every respect,” said Sutton. “There really is nothing like it in any navy’s inventory.”

I noted your comments on Professor Cohen’s latest on Ukraine posted to Unz.com on November 14th but his most recent video in PushBack from The Grayzone he said that in all the years he studied Russia and America he’d never thought the two nations would go to war.

Yet now he fears this possibility. I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Willy Wimmer discussed on RT ‘We are on a path of war again’: 30 years after the Berlin Wall fell, Europe betrays its own hopes (By Willy Wimmer). He said:

It is a kind of Anglo-Saxon policy not to have cooperation on the  European continent – mainly between the Russians, the French, the Poles  and the Germans. They want to have a line of confrontation in this area  and therefore are against all promises. [As a result] NATO was extended  to the East.
I  was responsible for the organization of the German Armed Forces on the  German territory following reunification. 

We did not want foreign troops in former East Germany. 

We did not want to have British or French troops there; we wanted to have only German ones. 

We wanted to explain  to the world that there was no desire to enlarge NATO up to the new  borders with Russia that were created in 1992.
It was against all the ideas we had after reunification. 

What is happening now is some kind of Anglo-Saxon policy that was created even before WWI.  

We are on the path of war again. 

That is so much against the will of  our people.

But,  when you now come to Rostock, Dresden or Leipzig they are learning  Russian again, they go to theaters to watch Russian performances and  listen to Russian music. 

They have re-established their links with  Russia, and if they could do what they want to do, they would be the big  economic partners of Russia these days.
Things  have really changed for the Russian Federation and with regard to  Russia. 

People in Dresden, Saxony’s capital, are absolutely proud that  Russian President Vladimir Putin once served there. 

That is the reality  these days, despite what the American mainstream media say.

Would Russia engage in tank battles and soldier-to-soldier combat if NATO attacked, or would they use stand-off weapons that you discuss just to obliterate command  and control centers, the sources of munitions, etc.? 

Mr. Wimmer clearly  sees that some Germans, as opposed to the “vassal” government, want better relations with Russia as opposed to war, including cold war. 

Andrei Martyanov: The issue of TLAMs: in a conventional configuration, I don’t think that they can do much damage to Russia, especially considering Russia’s unique anti-air and anti-missile defense.

A few possible leakers in conventional configuration will not do much damage; a few leakers in a nuclear configuration, however, is a completely different game. Hence Russia’s worry about Aegis Ashore installations in Romania and Poland. That’s the main worry.

"Leakers" missile weapons systems that are able to bore through national defenses.

In a conventional scenario, Russia will not be overwhelmed and even conventional response-head on (otvetno-vstrechnyi) strike will be extremely damaging to NATO and the US.

That first strike (in Russian parlance, a retaliatory strike, or otvetno-vstrechnyi udar) follows Russia’s military doctrine, which mandates such strikes to compensate for Russia’s conventional inferiority vis-à-vis NATO and the United States. 

- Eastern European Missile Defense: Russia's Threat ... 

Valeri Gerasimov was explicit couple of years ago in his interview about Russia having enough stand-off weapons at every strategic direction to provide a reliable deterrence.

Even in conventional exchange Russia can launch weapons at the US proper with Russian bombers not leaving Russia’s aerospace.

The X-101 cruise missile has a range in excess of 5,500 kilometers. Russia continues to increase her deterrence with 3M22 Zircon getting ready to be tested from Admiral Gorshkov frigate very soon, with Kazan SSGN of project 885 planned to launch the hyper-sonic Zircon from underwater early next year.

All this changes deterrence dynamics completely because the United States cannot defend her coasts and in depth against such systems.

Yvonne Lorenzo: Let me ask you about Colonel Douglas Macgregor. A recent piece for Strategic-Culture, Douglas Macgregor: America’s De Gaulle, Unheeded Prophet of Houthi Victory and Saudi Fall described him thus:

The brilliant Houthi military victory over the Saudis fulfilled the  predictions in military doctrine made by America’s own De Gaulle, a  retired US Army Colonel, Douglas Macgregor with an outstanding combat  and command record who has been treated over the past 20 years by most  of his own country’s four star generals and civilian theorists with  contempt: Just as the French Army ignored DeGaulle’s armored warfare  doctrines 90 years, when they were being read and applied passionately  by the generals of Germany.
Macgregor  observed after the Houthi victory in September that that there was no  reason for surprise. Sure enough, two and a half years earlier, in  testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) on March 7,  2017, he stated:

“The skies over the battlefield will be crowded with loitering munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones). These agile cruise missiles are designed to engage beyond line-of-sight ground targets. With proximity-fused, high-explosive warheads, these systems will remain airborne for hours, day or night. Equipped with high resolution electro-optical and infrared cameras, enemy operators will locate, surveil, and guide the drones to targets on the ground… When these loitering missiles are integrated into the enemy’s Strike Formations armed with precision guided rocket artillery that fires high explosive, incendiary, thermobaric, warheads including sub-munitions with self-targeting anti-tank and anti-personnel munitions warfare as we know it changes.”

Macgregor  was even more prescient in predicting the previous Houthi precision  missile strikes that wiped out half the production capacity of Saudi  Arabia’s oil refineries earlier in September. 

Those attacks  humiliatingly exposed the ultra-expensive, endlessly praised US missile  defense systems sold to Riyadh as worthless dinosaurs.
Yet,  writing in his book “Transformation Under Fire” published back in 2003,  Macgregor had said: “The idea is to link maneuver and strike assets  through a flatter operational architecture empowered by new terrestrial  and space-based communications throughout the formation… Long-range,  joint precision fires and C4ISR [Command, Control, Communications,  Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] offer the  possibility to reach over enemy armies to directly strike at what they  hope to defend or preserve. 

Precision strategic strikes closely  coordinated and timed with converging Army combat forces would present a  defending enemy with an insoluble dilemma.”

As you see, he’s retired and  never became a general. 

At least he appears to oppose war with Russia and Iran and China, from his appearances on Tucker Carlson that I’ve seen. Can you comment on the above piece and how Russia might respond if America used such techniques? It seems to me Russia would also be able  to implement such techniques. 

Andrei Martyanov: Douglas Macgregor is a brilliant man but his testimony is about…

… fighting an enemy which does not posses C4ISR [Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] capabilities comparable to that of the United States.

Russia does and we have to be very clear on that distinction.

Fighting a modern combined arms war against such opponents as North Korea or even Iran the United States will have massive leverage, at least initially, before boots get on the ground, in terms of stand-off operations.

Once boots hit the ground, well, then it will change. But fighting peers, such as China, let alone Russia—…

…I simply cannot see how the United States will stay away from escalation to a nuclear threshold, because the scale of losses will be catastrophic both in men and materiel.

 It’s EXTREMELY unlikely that the US can stop modern nuclear weapons from  Russia.  There is ZERO evidence that any of the US anti-missile  technologies would be sufficient to stop a MIRV warhead – let alone  multiple MIRV warheads – traveling at the speeds a modern missile can  achieve. In a war with Russia, literally hundreds if not thousands of  warheads would be heading towards the US. No missile defense system  known can handle that. 

- Richard Steven Hack on 09/19/2017 at 3:40 PM 

In the end, Macgregor is on the record:

In 110 days of fighting the German army in France during 1918, the U.S.  Army Expeditionary Force sustained 318,000 casualties, including 110,000  killed in action. 

That’s the kind of lethality waiting for U.S. forces in a future war with real armies, air forces, air defenses and naval power.

Only… on American soil.

Ignoring  this reality is the road to future defeats and American decline. It’s  time to look beyond the stirring images of infantrymen storming  machine-gun nests created by Hollywood and to see war for what it is and  will be in the future: 

the ruthless extermination of the enemy with accurate, devastating firepower from the sea, from the air, from space  and from mobile, armored firepower on land. 
The United Sates is not in a position to take this scale of losses, not to mention having its rear, from staffs to munition depots and airfields being under relentless and devastating fire impact from operational to a strategic depth—a condition the US Army simple has no experience with. 

As even RAND people admitted:
“We lose a lot of people. We lose a lot of equipment. We usually fail to achieve our objective of preventing aggression by the adversary,” RAND analyst David Ochmanek told a security conference on Thursday. “In our games, when we fight Russia and China, blue gets its ass handed to it.”

In war games with either Russia, China or both, almost always, the United States loses.

I’ve been writing about this for years.
 
It’s good that some people are beginning to get it. I hope—although I don’t hold my breath—their opinions will be heard at the political top.

Yvonne Lorenzo: Recent articles have posted on cooperation between Russia and China, not just the well know business deals but cultural and Chinese students coming to Russia. See these articles, “Top Russian nuclear university eyes future cooperation with China” and “Film about WWII sniper ‘Lady Death’ kicks off ‘2019 Russian Film Exhibition’ in Beijing” posted on China’s Global Times.

I’d appreciate your thoughts about the Russian-Chinese relationship/partnership.

Andrei Martyanov: The answer is extremely simple—Russian-Chinese cooperation is not only natural, but it was inevitable, considering the state of the combined West and, especially so, of the United States.

Yvonne Lorenzo: Andrei, you posted this on your blog on November 26th, 2019, “New S-400 Contract For Turkey?” which I want to discuss not only because of your observations, but because in the past (and I’m not picking on him) Paul Craig Roberts wrote in effect that Russia must be more aggressive with America to avoid a shooting war, quoting him, “The Russian government’s failure to stand up to Washington’s bullying guarantees more bullying. Sooner or later the bullying will cross a line, and Russia will have to fight.”

However, in this post of yours I cited above you commented:

So, [the] Turks are already running, it seems, detection routines with  F-16 and F-4 as targets. 

Turks will, already do, want more. 

The Turks  know what comes next, and it is S-500—they want it. 

The reason is  simple: look at [a] map of Turkey and see how much [of the] Eastern  Mediterranean she will be able to cover—pretty much all of it. Just in  case. 

And it is not just for reasons of Greece and gas fields, but for  reasons of Israel. The Turkish path towards a leadership in [the]  Islamic world lies through the fate of Palestine.
So,  a lot of thing are riding on those systems for Turkey and, just a  hunch, SU-35s will follow.

I’m surprised the Turks haven’t start testing against any F-35s, unless Turkey had to return them to America; 

I’d love  to see the reaction if they did, which so far has included this:  

“‘Erdogan thumbs his nose at Trump’: US senator says Turkey crossed  ‘another red line’ with S-400 test, calls for new sanctions.” 

As you also wrote recently: “How about State Department creating a new Office of S-400 Weekly Complaints and Threats Towards Turkey (OSWCTTT). Should be a pretty nice sinecure for some bureaucrat. Should pay well too—rent and real estate prices inside the Beltway are atrocious. Foggy Bottom especially.”

And I see in the way they’ve turned Turkey away from American dominance, or Western dominance, that Russia’s diplomatic team, of course under the leadership of President Putin, have performed a Jujitsu move against the West more effective than using force.

Of course, the Turks are no angels as this article, “ISIS Captives Offer a Convenient Pawn in Turkey’s Syria Chess Game” by the respected Vanessa Beeley notes although I suspect they won’t turn on Russia.

What are your thoughts?

Andrei Martyanov: As a Russian proverb says: “Diplomacy is the art to say to your counterpart that he is an idiot in the politest manner.”

In reality, the Russian version is very profane, so I softened it a bit. Russians do not operate on the so called “values-based,” ideological that is, principle in foreign policy. Russians actually DO consider the other side’s interests and concerns and that is what makes Russian diplomacy so effective.

This, plus, of course, military power. As another Russian saying goes: “If you do not want to talk to Lavrov, you will talk to Shoigu.”

With Turkey, Russia does accommodate many Turkish interests; the Turks feel that.

This is as much as I can respond to, because I am not in the position to pass deep and knowledgeable judgment on Turkey’s policies since I do not know the region that well.

I am sure, however, that Turks have a very good idea about what Russia offers technologically and economically.

The Turkish officer crews for S-400 underwent an extensive training in Russia so they do not need any additional argumentation in favor of the system they were trained on.

The F-35 is irrelevant here, apart from the fact that Turks cannot use, I believe, from the top of my head, those two aircraft which they had and which will be returned to the US.

Yvonne Lorenzo: In this interview with John Pilger, “American Exceptionalism Driving World to War – John Pilger,” he discusses the risk of “hot war” instigated by America against Russia. Here’s an excerpt:

Question: You have worked for over five decades as a war reporter and  documentary film-maker in Vietnam, elsewhere in Asia, Africa and Latin  America. 

How do you see current international tensions between the US,  China and Russia? 

Do you think the danger of war is greater now than in  previous times?
John  Pilger: In 1962, we all may have been saved by the refusal of a Soviet  naval officer, Vasili Arkhipov, to fire a nuclear torpedo at US ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

Are we in greater danger today? 

During  the Cold War, there were lines that the other side dared not cross.  

There are few if any lines now;

The US surrounds China with 400 military  bases and ...
...sails its low-draught ships into Chinese waters and...
...flies its drones in Chinese airspace. 

American-led NATO forces mass on the same Russian frontier the Nazis crossed...
...the Russian president is insulted as a matter of routine. 

There is no restraint and none of the diplomacy that kept the old Cold War cold. 

In the West, we have acquiesced as bystanders in our own countries, preferring to look away (or at our smart phones) rather than break free of the post-modernism entrapping us with its specious “identity” distractions.
Question:  You traveled extensively in the US during the Cold War years. You witnessed the assassination of presidential candidate Robert Kennedy in  1968. 

It seems the American Cold War obsession with “communism as an  evil” has been replaced by an equally intense Russophobia towards  modern-day Russia. 

Do you see a continuation in the phobia from the Cold  War years to today? What accounts for that mindset?
John  Pilger: The Russians refuse to bow down to America...
...and that is intolerable. 

They play an independent, mostly positive role in the  Middle East, the antithesis of America’s violent subversions...
...and that  is unbearable. 

Like the Chinese, they have forged peaceful and fruitful alliances with people all over the world...
...and that is unacceptable to the US Godfather. 

The constant defamation of all things Russian is a symptom of decline and panic...
...as if the United States has departed the  21st century for the 19th century...
...obsessed with a proprietorial view of the world. 

In the circumstances, the phobia you describe is hardly  surprising. 

Andrei Martyanov: As in any event, war between Russia and the US is possible, but how probable it is, is a completely different matter. Some probability of Russia and the United States actually fighting each other certainly exists.

It is not very high, I think, but it does exist.

We all have to do our utmost to prevent this scenario becoming a reality.

Paradoxically, Russia’s very real military strength today is a guarantor or, at least, a robust deterrent against such a nightmarish scenario.

As I said, the US military does understand the implications, even when American politicians don’t.

I always repeat that I feel much better when Gerasimov and Milley talk to each other than when Lavrov is forced to explain basic things to Pompeo.

Mike Pompeo.

Yvonne Lorenzo: Hypersonic weapons, impressive as they are, rely on Newtonian physics. There was—to me—a term that you would call “Runglish”, Russian-English, discussing “New physical principles” which I finally understood to mean “new principles of physics” relating to the new Peresvet laser, which I think you’ve speculated on its purpose but is highly secret.

However, all this technology is used for military purposes; what I find it sad about deteriorating relations with Russia because the best of the West and Russia could accomplish a great deal sharing and developing non-military technology.

I’m reminded of this wonderful video of a Russia cosmonaut’s interactions with an American astronaut and seeing the world below they have disdain for politicians.

I Need More Space: Russian Cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin’s long road to the stars

What are your thoughts and how can Russians and American in this environment of “Russophobia” which is a polite, diplomatic word for hatred of Russians, cooperate as we two are doing now for peaceful and good purposes?

I worry both your doors and mine, for simply communicating with one another, will be kicked in one day by someone from the government, as happened with Max Blumenthal.

Can we both pessimistic and hopeful?

Max Blumenthal.
Max Blumenthal.

Andrei Martyanov: As I stated repeatedly, the combined West committed cultural suicide in Russia.

Yes, Russians are open to mutually beneficial cooperation, with space being one of those exhibit A cases where international cooperation manifests itself in the most profound and positive way.

Sadly, with the current US political “elites” who are Russophobic in the extreme, any prospects of serious Russian-American cooperation look very grim.

The world is in the process of unprecedented geopolitical realignment which increasingly degrades the position of the United States and Russia is at the center of this process.

The Obama Administration destroyed Russian-American relations totally and I don’t see any improvement, bar some symbolic gestures, such as, I hope, President Trump visiting Moscow on May 9th next year, because the American political class’s Russophobia is systemic and was nurtured for generations.

Plus, the United States is not an agreement-capable entity because it is ungovernable, as the last three years so dramatically demonstrated.

The first thirty cities to be attacked with nuclear weapons during a Russia or China first-strike event. Say, if America puts troops in the Ukraine, or conducts Naval operations near the Chinese coast.
The first thirty cities to be attacked with nuclear weapons during a Russia or China first-strike event. Say, if America puts troops in the Ukraine, or conducts Naval operations near the Chinese coast.

Russia is aware of that—no agreement signed with the United States is worth the paper it is written on.

"... no agreement signed with the United States is  worth the paper it is written on." I think that China would agree.

We can only hope that things will change for the better in the future but this change may come only through the United States reassessing its role in history and the world…

…a process which may take decades, serious tribulations and, hopefully, emergence of new American elites that would be able to formulate real American national interests.

After I asked Andrei my last question, this Russian video posted on YouTube: so much for future cooperation between America and Russia in space, because of sanctions Americans cannot be carried to the space station by Russians any longer:

I’d like to thank Andrei for his kind answers to my questions and highly recommend his books and his writings on his blog and on Unz.com for those who wish to escape the Matrix and find a knowledgeable Russian perspective on events and military matters; Martyanov is the antidote to Tom Clancy disease.

I want to close by noting Andrei Martynov’s recent blog post “Ishenko Delivers” that referenced an article by Rostislav Ishenko entitled “In Bulgaria, a Russian Soldier” the title itself a reference to the song “Alyosha,” which I am familiar with from the album Wait for Me by the late exceptional baritone Dimitri Hvorsostovky. The below passage Ishenko wrote is moving, as is the song.

It was 1970. I was five years old. 

I came to visit my grandmother. To  the White Church. Near Kiev. 

My grandmother is from the Urals. 

My  grandfather (on my father’s side) started the war near Stalingrad, and  ended on the Dnieper (six wounds, four of them heavy, two shell shocks,  medals “For Military Merit” and “For Courage,” the Order of the “Red  Star” and “World War II” degrees). 

The commander of a machine gun  company. He fought for an incomplete year. From October 1943 he was no  longer sent to the front (and his division arrived near Stalingrad in  November 1942). 

He died (in 1956) at 36 years old, from the consequences  of a concussion (as a young major, in a colonel’s position).
In  1970, I was five years old (to be exact, then four and a half).  

Grandmother was a teacher of French. At the same time and a class  teacher. I came to visit her. Contrary to usual, I didn’t go straight  home, but (for some reason unknown to me) I went to the school where she  taught. 

I think that she needed to complete the work with the class,  and the school was five to seven minutes’ walk from home. 

Here I am, as a  future student, and they brought me to see how the children learn.
For  about fifteen minutes I studied desks in an empty classroom (which at  that time did not differ from the gymnasium at the beginning of the  century) and read what was written on the board. 

And then she went with  her grandmother to the porch of the school, where her class (and other  classes) performed. 

Now I don’t remember what the holiday was, but I  suspect it is May 9th. Because I went out onto the porch (they rather  took me out, I was too small to go out myself), just as the girls from  my grandmother’s class (8–10, already without pioneer ties and, as for  me, adult aunts) sang “Alyosha.” 

I haven’t heard the song so often since  then, but I remember it well, because, in the words, “He doesn’t give  flowers to girls, they give him flowers,” the entire female team of the  school, which was standing next to me, wept.
It  was the 70th year. 

My grandmother was 48 years old. 

Exactly at that age  (in 2014) I left Kiev. 

The city where four generations of my ancestors  lived, in which my mother survived the occupation (and met the Red Army  at the age of three), became not just a stranger, but a hostile one. 

I  can be forced to return there, but I cannot be persuaded or persuaded to  do so voluntarily. 

It’s like in a war. 

All who survived and won are  proud of the Victory, and while their fellow soldiers were alive, they  met and remembered the days of old. 

But they themselves did not dream of  returning to the dugout under shelling, nor did they want to experience  the “pleasure” of the attack (to their full height on the prepared  defense) for their children. 

Russians have in their collective memory the trauma of a war that killed millions, a subject Martyanov has discussed in depth especially in his first book;

…in that respect, they are different from Americans and I question the sanity of the rulers…

…especially the feckless political class…

…of the West who make the Russians foes.

Launch of American ICBM's from the underground silos.

Perhaps only the people of the two nations—if they are enough in number in America—can prevent war from coming, because I am uncertain if the American military can reign in the powers that control them.

Or perhaps it is the fate for Russia to humble America, the way she did Nazi Germany, not necessarily by military might—at least I pray.

I suspect the process has started already.

Sadly, we know which side is most at fault for this deterioration of relations between our nations.

Reminders… China.

China and Russia will mutually work together militarily to counter American aggression.

As a history buff I must point out that ALL Major Wars started from  misconceptions (they enemy is weak, cannot hit the broad side of the  barn etc) AND starred new disruptive weapons (the Machine Gun in WW1 vs  Calvary/Infantry charges, Aircraft carrier in WW2 vs the MIGHTY  Battleship).  

Will WW3 find the USA under EMP?  Will Russian and Chinese high tech  ECM systems shut off our High Tech Weapons? Ask the commanders of the  two recent US Navy collisions if they think ECM jammed their Command and  Control Systems.  Both of the Ships were very high tech Aegis Warships,  yet were rammed by slow moving clumsy Cargo Ships. 

Will we get our  heads handed to us like the Germans?  

You know that in both world wars the Germans did not expect to lose you know.

Prepare for bad times my friends the petrodollar is almost done. The cost of everything is about to rise quickly.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged Russia to strengthen bilateral comprehensive cooperation and mutual political support during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit in Hangzhou. This action has prompted political analyst Rostislav Ishchenko to assert that both countries are moving towards a political and military alliance.

"De  facto a political and military alliance between Russia and China has  existed for a long time and it is not a secret to anyone. Rumors have repeatedly surfaced that it could be  formalized. But at the recent G20 summit the Chinese leader has for the  first time mentioned the need to 'formalize relations' as openly  as Chinese political and diplomatic traditions permit."

- Ishchenko,  head of the Center for Systems Analysis and Forecasting, wrote  for RIA Novosti. 

Xi Jinping said that both countries should support each other in their efforts to protect national sovereignty and security. The Chinese president added that both nations should step up cooperation in such areas as infrastructure development, energy, aviation, aerospace and cutting-edge technology.

In addition, Russia and China should foster bilateral military exchanges and security cooperation.

Reminders… American Mainstream media

The US is likely to provoke a major war, partly in an attempt to unite a  culturally divided country. But not just a sport war such as we’ve had  in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. Probably with China, possibly Russia or  Iran. Perhaps with all three. The US won’t do well, since it will find  that its aircraft carriers, F-35s, and the like are equivalent to  cavalry before WW1 and battleships before WW2. 

- Doug Casey’s Top 7 Predictions for the 2020s 

Americans, all jazzed up with the mainstream media news, and the mainstream pro-military movies, and a neocon government, is all but “chomping at the bit” to fight and (of course) win a war with either, Russia or China or both…

Lord help us all.
