Hybrid War 2.0 on China, a bipartisan U.S. operation, is already reaching fever pitch. Its 24/7 full spectrum infowar arm blames China for everything coronavirus-related – doubling as a diversionist tactic against any informed criticism of woeful American unpreparedness.
Hysteria predictably reigns. And this is just the beginning.
A deluge of lawsuits is imminent – such as the one in the Southern District of Florida entered by Berman Law Group (linked to the Democrats) and Lucas-Compton (linked to the Republicans). In a nutshell: China has to shell out tons of cash. To the tune of at least $1.2 trillion, which happens to be – by surrealist irony – the amount of U.S. Treasury bills held by Beijing, all the way to $20 trillion, claimed by a lawsuit in Texas.
The prosecution’s case, as Scott Ritter memorably reminded us, is straight out of Monty Python. It works exactly like this:
“If she weighs the same as a duck…
…she’s made of wood!”
“And therefore…”
“A witch!!!!!”
In Hybrid War 2.0 terms, the current CIA-style narrative translates as evil China never telling us, the civilized West, there was a terrible new virus around. If they did, we would have had time to prepare.
And yet they lied and cheated – by the way, trademark CIA traits, according to Mike “We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal” Pompeo himself. And they hid everything. And they censored the truth. So they wanted to infect us all. Now they have to pay for all the economic and financial damage we are suffering, and for all our dead people. It’s China’s fault.
All this sound and fury forces us to refocus back to late 2019 to check out what U.S. intel really knew then about what would later be identified as Sars-Cov-2.
“No such product exists”
The gold standard remains the ABC News report according to which intel collected in November 2019 by the National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), a subsidiary of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), was already warning about a new virulent contagion getting out of hand in Wuhan, based on “detailed analysis of intercepted communications and satellite imagery”.
An unnamed source told ABC, “analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event”, adding the intel was “briefed multiple times” to the DIA, the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, and even the White House.
No wonder the Pentagon was forced to issue the proverbial denial – in Pentagonese, via one Col. R. Shane Day, the director of the DIA’s NCMI: “In the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists.”
Well, if such “product” existed, Pentagon head and former Raytheon lobbyist Mark Esper would be very much in the loop. He was duly questioned about it by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
Question: “Did the Pentagon receive an intelligence assessment on COVID in China last November from the National Center for Medical Intelligence of DIA?”
Esper: “Oh, I can’t recall, George,” (…) “But, we have many people who watch this closely.”
Question: “This assessment was done in November, and it was briefed to the NSC in early December to assess the impact on military readiness, which, of course, would make it important to you, and the possible spread in the United States. So, you would have known if there was a brief to the National Security Council in December, wouldn’t you?”
Esper: “Yes (…) “I’m not aware of that.”
So “no such product exists” then? Is it a fake? Is it a Deep State/CIA concoction to trap Trump? Or are the usual suspects lying, trademark CIA style?
Let’s review some essential background. On November 12, a married couple from Inner Mongolia was admitted to a Beijing hospital, seeking treatment for pneumonic plague.
The Chinese CDC, on Weibo – the Chinese Twitter – told public opinion that the chances of this being a new plague were “extremely low.” The couple was quarantined.
Four days later, a third case of pneumonic plague was identified: a man also from Inner Mongolia, not related to the couple. Twenty-eight people who were in close contact with the man were quarantined. None had plague symptoms. Pneumonic plague has symptoms of respiratory failure similar to pneumonia.
Even though the CDC repeated, “there is no need to worry about the risk of infection”, of course there was plenty of skepticism. The CDC may have publicly confirmed on November 12 these cases of pneumonic plague. But then Li Jifeng, a doctor at Chaoyang Hospital where the trio from Inner Mongolia was receiving treatment, published, privately, on WeChat, that they were first transported to Beijing actually on November 3.
The key point of Li Jinfeng’s post – later removed by censors – was when she wrote, “I am very familiar with diagnosing and treating the majority of respiratory diseases (…) But this time, I kept on looking but could not figure out what pathogen caused the pneumonia. I only thought it was a rare condition and did not get much information other than the patients’ history.”
Even if that was the case, the key point is that the three Inner Mongolian cases seem to have been caused by a detectable bacteria. Covid-19 is caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus, not a bacteria. The first Sars-Covid-2 case was only detected in Wuhan in mid to late December. And it was only last month that Chinese scientists were able to positively trace back the first real case of Sars-Cov-2 to November 17 – a few days after the Inner Mongolian trio.
Knowing exactly where to look
It’s out of the question that U.S. intel, in this case the NCMI, was unaware of these developments in China, considering CIA spying and the fact these discussions were in the open on Weibo and WeChat. So if the NCMI “product” is not a fake and really exists, it only found evidence, still in November, of some vague instances of pneumonic plague.
Thus the warning – to the DIA, the Pentagon, the National Security Council, and even the White House – was about that. It could not possibly have been about coronavirus.
The burning question is inevitable: how could the NCMI possibly know all about a viral pandemic, still in November, when Chinese doctors positively identified the first cases of a new type of pneumonia only on December 26?
Add to it the intriguing question of why the NCMI was so interested in this particular flu season in China in the first place – from plague cases treated in Beijing to the first signs of a “mysterious pneumonia outbreak” in Wuhan.
There may have been subtle hints of slightly increased activity at clinics in Wuhan in late November and early December. But at the time nobody – Chinese doctors, the government, not to mention U.S. intel – could have possibly known what was really happening.
China could not be “covering up” what was only identified as a new disease on December 30, duly communicated to the WHO. Then, on January 3, the head of the American CDC, Robert Redfield, called the top Chinese CDC official. Chinese doctors sequenced the virus. And only on January 8 it was determined this was Sars-Cov-2 – which provokes Covid-19.
This chain of events reopens, once again, a mighty Pandora’s box. We have the quite timely Event 201; the cozy relationship between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the WHO, as well as the Word Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins galaxy in Baltimore, including the Bloomberg School of Public Health; the ID2020 digital ID/vaccine combo; Dark Winter – which simulated a smallpox bio-attack on the U.S., before the 2001 anthrax attack being blamed on Iraq; U.S. Senators dumping stocks after a CDC briefing; more than 1,300 CEOs abandoning their cushy perches in 2019, “forecasting” total market collapse; the Fed pouring helicopter money already in September 2019 – as part of QE4.
And then, validating the ABC News report, Israel steps in. Israeli intel confirms U.S. intel did in fact warn them in November about a potentially catastrophic pandemic in Wuhan (once again: how could they possibly know that on the second week of November, so early in the game?) And NATO allies were warned – in November – as well.
The bottom line is explosive: the Trump administration as well as the CDC had an advance warning of no less than four months – from November to March – to be properly prepared for Covid-19 hitting the U.S. And they did nothing. The whole “China is a witch!” case is debunked.
Moreover, the Israeli disclosure supports what’s nothing less than extraordinary: U.S. intel already knew about Sars-Cov-2 roughly one month before the first confirmed cases detected by doctors in a Wuhan hospital. Talk about divine intervention.
That could only have happened if U.S. intel knew, for sure, about a previous chain of events that would necessarily lead to the “mysterious outbreak” in Wuhan. And not only that: they knew exactly where to look. Not in Inner Mongolia, not in Beijing, not in Guangdong province.
It’s never enough to repeat the question in full: how could U.S. intel have known about a contagion one month before Chinese doctors detected an unknown virus?
Mike “We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal” Pompeo may have given away the game when he said, on the record, that Covid-19 was a “live exercise”. Adding to the ABC News and Israeli reports, the only possible, logical conclusion is that the Pentagon – and the CIA – knew ahead of time a pandemic would be inevitable.
That’s the smokin’ gun. And now the full weight of the United States government is covering all bases by proactively, and retroactively, blaming China.
We obviously have here a bio weapon directed against China with the aim of subverting China (and Russia) economically, politically and financially. The same probably goes for Europe, the intent being to place it under direct US economic control. Now compensation is demanded from China, with lawsuits placed in US courts, as if sovereign China falls under the jurisdiction of the US. Nothing surprising here, as in the US political and judiciary systems, anything goes, with double standards and hypocracy being the norm. True, the US can plunder Chinese property in the US, with China doing the same thing to US firms in China.
However, this is all part of geopolitics. The US empire is falling and, as all empires do when they start to collapse, it’s playing dirty. In the end this policy will do more damage to the US than it will do to China.
How can you be sure the US will fail? As it stands, China remains hopefully outmatched in the propaganda department and the majority of the world (or at least the parts of the world that matter) are buying the anti-Chinese rhetoric about how the pandemic is all a result of China’s incompetence and deception, if not outright malice. The courts in the US may not have jurisdiction over China, but the court of public opinion may eventually force China to cough up compensation in one way or another.
*That should be “woefully”, not “hopefully”.
The court of public opinion? You mean the court of public propaganda, and the Chinese will pay no heed to that court either.
“the parts of the world that matter”
WTF does that even mean? Perhaps the parts that imagine that they matter no longer do? Likewise “public opinion.” If we’re talking about US public opinion, what exactly is that worth? “A bucket of warm spit,” as the old saying goes. Said “compensation” will surely be the open default on Chinese-held US Treasuries, which was always going to happen anyway. Of course the Treasury will just issue more and the Fed will buy them up, just as they’re doing now, and the Ponzi scheme will roll on… for a time longer at least. The end game is still assured, however. The sun is setting on Pax Americana and all the worthless T-Bills in the known universe aren’t going to forestall that forever. Whether China and Russia will do any better in the wake of the all that remains to be seen, but they could hardly do any worse. The overarching lesson of Covid-19 is that it’s a demonstration of capability and, more ominously, intent on the part of the AngloZionists, and that more – decidedly more lethal – such events are no doubt in the wings ready to be rolled out next time; very possibly later this year, where they could plausibly be blamed on natural mutations of Covid-19. Rinse and repeat.
By “the parts of the world that matter” I mean the US and its 5-Eyes allies, along with Western Europe, Japan, and perhaps India and South Korea as well. The general public in these countries never liked China to begin with and the coronavirus outbreak has just given them an excuse to display their Sinophobia openly. If these countries decide to act in concert to force concessions upon China, what could China do in response?
The rest of the world don’t really matter because they’re basically waiting to see how the contest between the US and China goes, and they won’t do anything to influence the outcome.
Bless your heart. I think you really believe the propaganda you parrot.
Unfortunately, this may shock you, but not everyone in the world thinks so badly of those mean Chinese. Including the USG’s ” greatest ally in the middle east” Below is by no means a complete list, but be sure to check the last link for the latest partnership between the two.

I presume you’re American or you wouldn’t be so confident in whom the world might believe. Here anything America says is taken with the utmost scepticism, perfidy is second nature to US politicans and we’ve watched them lie their way into mass murder in the ME …simply to pillage and plunder their natural resources. We’ve watched them through WMD, through 9/11 etc etc, and if they say black is black you automatically search for something sinister.
I used to believe American and UK news for many years, but have learned never to believe anything they say.
I’ve lived in both countries for about 13 years or so and am citizen of both. The same in Canada. Anglo-Saxon countries have become the modern-day MORDOR ruled by the most predatory (yet not that bright at all and getting dumber and dumber all the time in both absolute and relative terms) psychopaths the world has ever seen.
I am dong my best helping my friends around the world learn that lesson despite the loudest megaphone of lies and fraud these psychopaths control (Hollywood , BBC etc)
With all due respect, your views and those of others here are not exactly representative of the mainstream public opinion. While it is on the extreme end of the spectrum, incidents like the following link are more in line with what the general public thinks of China and the Chinese:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8231517/Chinese-international-students-attacked-white-stranger-break-silence.html
People don’t like China, this is not a controversial statement and there is a long history of Sinophobia. The fact is, the general public in the West don’t need much encouragement to hate China and at the end of the day they will support the US-led West regardless of who they believe is telling the truth because a world not dominated by the West is a world in which the people of the West do not enjoy the privileges that come with being the top dog. It’s simply a matter of self-interest. They have supported the US as it pillaged and plundered around the world, and they will continue to support it in its war against China.
Obsequious
“The majority of the world … buying anti-Chinese propaganda”. You sure about that ? And is the majority of the world buying US explanations for 9-11, when we all know it was an inside job ?
China is not outmatched in the propaganda department, although it is outnumbered by the Anglo-American propaganda machine, whose methods of deception are by now well known.
I am certain that the mainstream public opinion in the West at least is firmly against China. China has never had much success with its attempts at propaganda in the West, and its efforts now remain typically clumsy and unpersuasive.
Im in the west and no one is blaming china, we all think this is stupid.
The only peoole blaming china sre the same.people that said saddam had WMD’S.
So its up to you to make your own choices, it matters not what public opinion says, as it is soft clay for the propagandizers to make silly pots out of.
Public opinion means nothing once one realizes its all been manufactured, by varioys factions.
Great article Pepe, too notch!
‘How can you be sure the US will fail?’
When hubris surpasses reason empires crumble.
“or at least the parts of the world that matter”
So which parts of the world matter?
Do Yemen matter? How about Afghanistan?
Are you serious?
If it was not against the rules here i would write a profane ridden angry rant, i pray that you can defend your words when you stand infront of God after your soul leave your body.
I didnt like that part of the comment either, stinks of fascism dont it?
I felt the same way. Cheers
Not quite, B.F.. Pepe writes; “the CIA knew ahead of time a pandemic would be inevitable.” Right, because they knew that the total and utter collapse of the Western financial system was inevitable.
Unlike in 2008, the Western financial system was no longer sustainable, and on the verge of a complete and utter meltdown.
That’s when (and why) the coronavirUS showed up, so that the Western kakistocracy (at its core the bankers) could impose de facto Martial Law (forestalling Yellow Vests-like protests). Not the other way around.
(that’s Dr. Ron Paul’s main theory)
It was to be blamed on their most formidable opponent China (Russia, Iran). So, China did everything perfectly right, irrespective of the lethality of this coronavirUS unleashed on them.
The term Wet Market has been appearing alot in the Western press, and I see too many Westerners using the term without understanding what it means. Here in Singapore, we have been using this exact term for at least 5 decades. It really means a market in a traditional naturally ventilated setting where many vendors assemble to sell their assorted goods. It is used to distinguish such a market from a “supermarket” which is usually air-conditioned and owned by a single retailer selling all the various goods in one space.
If people bother to google what the said wet market in Wuhan looked like rather than taking all the media innuendo about its “disgusting” environment, you would no different from traditional markets all around the world.
If you pride yourself in being independent minded enough to see the lies your government and media routinely spout about the economy, politics, etc etc, surely you would also be open minded enough to entertain the thought that they may be lying to you about the “evil and disgusting Chinese” too?
It is probably comparable to the Pike Street Market in Seattle.
It is comparable to any farmer’s market in North America, except the variety is greater
I agree with Peppe Escobar, that the blame for the COVID-19 must be found somewhere ells than in China.
COVID-19 is not a natural mutated virus. It is genetically modified in a Laboratory, as a Bio Weapon.
The virus is not spread by people eating naturally infected animals, bought at the Wuhan wet market.
The virus is spread via aerosol, at several places around Wuhan city, including at the Wet Market.
The US Deep state has since 2002 covertly attacked China with:
Swine flu virus,
Bird flu virus,
SARS-COV virus,
And now SARS-COV 2. (COVID-19)
Both SARS-COV and SARS-COV 2 and MERS-COV are genetically modified Bio-weapons created on the basis of the Coronavirus, called in short COV.
How did the COVID-19 spread?
A study lead by peter Forster – lead virologist of Cambridge University, was centered upon finding the origin of the Covid-19 Virus, by classifying them in accordance to development, as type A – B – C.
The Origin of the Pandemic the type A virus MUST have occurred as early as September 2019.
The type A virus is only found in the US and Australia.
The type B virus was the one released in Wuhan (probably by US soldiers who took part in the Military games in October 18-27 2019). The type B virus spread to Germany.
The more deadly C type was spread from the WEF in Davos January 2020 to Italy and from there by cruise ship to Spain and then back to the US.
It is therefore possible that covid-19 is a bio-weapon attack on China executed by Deep State actors.
The purpose of the COVID-19 clandestine Attack:
1) To keep the Deep State in place. There will be no second Trump term in November to drain the swamp.
2) To avoid China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela to end the Petro dollar world reserve currency status.
3) To blame something ells than western Bankers and politicians for the crash of the financial system.
4) To institute Martial Law: A War-time measure which overrides Democracy (Parliament sessions and elections are put on standby) Human rights such as free movements and free assembly including Demonstrations becomes unlawful. Martial law changes the traditional penalty codes. Theft of essential good will be punished severely, and even the death penalty can be introduced for riot or treason.
5) To hinder allied nations from defecting Empirical institutions like the US, UK, EU, FN, IMF, NATO.
J.F. Kennedy said about the Deep State:
We are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. Today we face this common enemy. Its threat has loomed large on the horizon for many years.
Today, there is very grave danger that National security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand it into censorship and conceal from the public the facts they deserve to know.
In time of war, the government and the press join in self-discipline to prevent disclosures to the enemy.
In times of “clear and present danger,” the courts have held that even the First Amendment must yield for national security.
Today no war has been declared—and it may no longer be declared in traditional fashion.
Our way of life is under attack. The free world are opposed by a ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration and invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night and armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into building a Fascist network of agents that combines Economic, Political, intelligence, military, Scientific and international diplomatic operations.
Its operations are concealed. Its mistakes are buried. Its dissenters are silenced. No expenditure is questioned, no secret is revealed. It conducts a clandestine War with military discipline against democracy.
It is the hidden nature of this force that obligates the Media to inform and alert the people—to make certain that they possess all the facts that they need, so they understand the perils we face.
I am asking your help in the task of informing the people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.
The Deep State (A generational Fascist conspiracy to control the world) killed J.F. Kennedy 22 Nov. 1963.

So, NCMI “in the interests of transparency” knew nothing. Just like Col. Schultz on Hogan’s Hero’s. “I know nuttink”. But, ABC News knew about it? How does that happen? How would a MSM news outlet know about this virus in China, even before the Chinese did, but the intel community knew nothing?
The west had a four-month jump on China and did nothing to prepare.
It looks to me all this media hate against China is all part of western intelligence (that is an oxymoron, I know) efforts to weaken China further and deflect attention away from themselves. And any media engaged in this should be suspect.
But this foreknowledge strongly suggests something more sinister. I don’t need to say it or spell it out. I feel an urge to start cussing.
Mr. Escobar: Great report! Thank you.
Col Klink Sergeant Schultz – being right on TV characters is all that is left to us. 👍 on comment.
As you can imagine, watching that was a while ago. I accept the correction and thank you.:)
At the moment I am spending an unnecessary amount of time watching videos about cats, food preparation, animal rescues and all the cool things you can do with a speed square. A gift from the dear leaders, protecting us from the killer virus and giving us prisoner training at the same time.
Would this be of any interest to you ?
Globalists plotted COVID years in advance . — https://www.realhistorychannel.org/globalists-plotted-cv-19-years-in-advance
Facts:
1) This outbreak was predicted few years ago by Michael Osterholm, seeing the unhygienic and disgusting wet markets that the Chinese run. China takes no responsibility for their appalling, disease-spreading markets that has killed thousands around the world and disrupted the global economy.
2) China censored whistleblower doctor Li Wenliang who tried to warn the world about this virus and later died from it. China tried to suppress the information from coming out.
I don’t like the US, but why should anyone trust the Chinese who don’t take any responsibility and censor anyone or anything they don’t like?
PS – You can see how biased the pro-China voices are by how they went completely silent after the Hong Kong election results came out in November 24 showing huge loss for the Pro-China base. This after all the boasting that China was winning the PR war in Hong Kong.
Wet markets are disgusting only to PETA-types, Epoch Times-Falun Gong propagandists, paid bots for the CIA and Taiwan separatists, along with morons who don’t know jackshit about how Chinese shop for food. As many as 75% of Chinese prefer wet markets and farmers’ markets to supermarket shopping.
At one time not very long ago, it was common in the US to go to live chicken butcher to get chicken for dinner.
Not out in the boondocks or farmland. In Westchester County, NY in a suburb of the most urbane city in the world, in a town called Mamaroneck. I can attest to that fact.
The reason they have not been shut down, as the dopes who judge others want, is they are the supply chain of food for 1.4 billion people.
I haven’t been to a Chinese wet market, but I regularly go to one in Thailand. Fruits. vegetables, meats, fish, shrimp, squid, it’s all there. And guess what? I have never gotten sick eating food from this market. Or these markets. The meat sits out, just iced, often not refrigerated, and rarely (I have never heard of a case) do people get sick.
On the other hand, we often hear of outbreaks of E coli in socalled clean packaged vegetables in the US, as well as rat excrement and other disgusting items found in the highly unsanitary and disgracefully uninspected Chicken, pork and beef processing plants in the US.
But it’s all China’s fault and why? Because in the superior civilization of the West, all their failings are somebody else’s fault.
Yup, China’s a witch. Let’s go witch hunting.
I also get the bulk of fresh food from the wet market – pork, fish prawn. They are fresh from the farm, river/lake, sea. Inexpensive too.
I seldom buy those from the super market, except for chilled beef from oversea.
I also like to go to so called wet markets here in Holland. I go there for as much as possible, fish, cheese, meat, veggies, game, fruit and so on. Only when there are heatwaves I do not for potential hygene issues (since rare here, they cannot prepare for that). I never gotten sick from it either. I get good prices, support small independent business. I prefer that to going to supermarkets since that is mostly big agro and related big business. Ofcourse I do go to supermarkets for conveiniance as well. Like getting garbage bags, toilet paper and ofcourse beer (smile)

Dr. Li Wenliang saw test results on one of his patients on Dec 30 that indicated a condition resembling SARs. China reported the exact same thing to WHO on Dec 31. This is one of those clever memes that wreaks of our Intel community to play on our emotions. Yes, local authorities did force him to remove a public posting and hide info from Chinese civilians but it is a completely irrelevant fact. The same information was given to an international organization immediately.
Have you found out how a real wet market in China looks like ??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whbyuy2nHBg
Your second ‘fact’ appears rather shaky. I would say it is not a fact at all. It is a fact that this doctor died from this virus. However, he was not a communicable disease doctor. He made a posting on Chinese social media about the illness and the government suspended his ability to practice for spreading false information. At this point, the government didn’t even know exactly what was going on. This suspension lasted a matter of days and was reinstated and he could practice his medicine again.
I’m sure you mean well, but western propaganda never sleeps. When they wish to smear a nation, government, leader or anyone else, they will flood the media with all manner of outrageous stories that are not verified and totally false. Could it be your apparent disgust for China is based on lies? I will never again take such outrageous stories pushed by the west at face value. We don’t want to be part of the problem, do we?
This is what a Chinese wet market looks like this century:
https://viktoriajean.com/2019/10/25/qingdao-starfish-sea-urchin-and-other-exotic-foods/
Diverse Yes, dirty No.
(You’ll even see a few mask wearers, predating current trend)
A western market by comparison is filthy and overcrowded. Measuring by one’s own yardstick indeed.
It would seem that you dislike China a lot more than the US.
Out of interest, I have to wonder if you actually read Pepe’s article? The revelations concerning the early warnings given by the US NMCI to certain select parties are literally quite devastating, but this all seems to have escaped you completely.
Anyway Pepe says that the US NCMI clearly appeared to have several weeks of foreknowledge of an outbreak of a viral respiratory infection in Wuhan. But you ignore this startling revelation and proceed to recycle the stereotyped CIA style hogwash about the wet fish market. Hmmm!
Did you know that there are 124 countries with higher literacy rates than the US and that it is by design ?? An uneducated population is easier to keep divided and control with cradle to grave propaganda.
I view it like this Cyndy: Americans don’t resolve things Americans construct relationships.‘I know all of you are on your short lunch break so I hope these few comments on the thoughts of President Trump will help you understand better the intellectual sophistication going on above and over your heads in the White House.
Your supposed facts are more like half-truths, particularly about Li Wenliang, whom the West (not just the USA) has disingenuously promoted as a “whistleblower” in their anti-China smear campaigns.
Thus, Li wasn’t a epidemiologist or virologist. He was an Ophthalmologist no less (as in eye doctor) who posted on a social media platform to his friends that there might be an outbreak of SARS. As Davide Mastracci explains:
“A main piece of the anti-China narrative is that the government arrested or imprisoned a COVID-19 whistleblower.
The story goes that a doctor found out about a new virus, tried to tell the world, was arrested and imprisoned, and then died from the virus. Commentators claim China did this because they wanted to cover up the existence of a deadly virus in the country, and that the result was COVID-19 spreading quicker and further than it otherwise would have.
Most of this narrative is false, or at least based on half-truths.
Doctor Li Wenliang was an ophthalmologist, not an epidemiologist. He initially misidentified the novel coronavirus as evidence of a SARS outbreak. He shared that claim, along with patients’ medical records, in a WeChat group on December 30 with a few colleagues, not to any hospitals or public health organizations. Li was not arrested or imprisoned. He was called in to a police station on January 3, after a screenshot from his WeChat group leaked and caused panic. At the station, he was reprimanded for falsely claiming there was a SARS outbreak, asked to sign a document pledging not to continue spreading the misinformation and then was free to leave. Unfortunately, it’s true that Li did die on February 7 from COVID-19, which he reportedly got from treating one of his patients who had been infected.
This narrative also serves to distract from another sequence of events.
On December 26, Zhang Jixian, the director of respiratory and critical care at Hubei Provincial Hospital, noticed that four patients in her unit who sought treatment for suspected pneumonia — an elderly couple, their son and someone who had come in from a seafood market — all had similar and unusual CT images, which led her to believe they were suffering from something else. The next day, Zhang — who played a crucial role in combating the 2003 SARS outbreak — reported it to the head of her hospital. Within the next two days, the information was passed on to the provincial Centers for Disease Control, which then initiated full scale research into the hospital.
All of this took place before Li shared those screenshots in his WeChat group. Zhang wasn’t punished for her efforts — she was given an award by the regional government.”

Thanks for this comment. I would just like to add one point about the unfortunate death of Dr. Li Wenliang: as an ophthalmologist, he would have used a slit lamp to check the condition of his patients’ eyes. This is part of a standard eye exam by such a doctor. Usually, the doctor or staff wipe down the surfaces of the lamp with alcohol before/after each patient, but the slit lamp brings the patient’s face very close to that of the physician during the exam.
It is thus very easy to imagine an ophthalmologist contracting this illness from an infected patient, especially as we are learning that COVID-19 is transmissible even when patients are asymptomatic.
I salute the many doctors and nurses all over the world, who are on the front lines of this battle against the virus.
Of course the Chinese lied!
Look at a very partial list of the Chinese history of lying, almost by habit, just in the last two decades alone!
China lied in 1999 about “massacres” committed by Serbia and bombed Belgrade to set up the narcomafia organ-smuggling so called state of “Kosovo”.
China lied about Saddam Hussein having WMDs and invaded Iraq in 2003.
China lied about “imminent massacres” and “Viagra rape” in Libya in 2011, and deliberately misused a UN Security Council resolution to bomb and destroy that country and hand it over to slave trading jihadi headchopper gangs.
China lied about Syria using chemical weapons from 2013 onwards, armed and trained and financed terrorist gangs, conducted missile strikes on the country, and continues to occupy and steal oil from East Syria.
China organised a blatant Nazi coup in Ukraine in 2014 and lied about it being a “popular democratic revolution”.
China murdered Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani in 2020 and lied about him being about to conduct terrorist attacks when he was actually on a peace mission.
With just this partial list of Chinese lies in the last two decades alone, who would believe anything China has to say?!?!?
You are not attempting to lend credibility to the ability of the U.S. to hide its lies are you? For I think I have enough proof over here to show that, we are the king of liers.
Lol, you make a joke, speaking in code or reverse language to conceal the real meaning.
This is priceless. lol
Donald it was me in my kitchen with WD40, a white turnip maliu float and a pair of black-market red pliers that done it. What a triumph! More details following…. but I can fix it in an instant if you want. All I need is one of Hillary’s fingernails.
LoL.
Yes, China lied about the 9-11 Reichstag Fire in order to launch the global War on Terrorism, threatening the world that “You are Either with Us or Against Us” and whining that “Evil Doers Hate Us for Our Freedoms!”

You forgot to mention that the Chinese bombed also their own Embassy in Belgrade.
This is a resource article. Save it for years to come. This historic event will be with you the rest of your life, and the debate will not end, ever.
We have either a war with biological weaponry or a massive coincidence of mathematical immensity (odds of 1 in 100 quadrillion) that all the facts are mere chance and not “related” in a hand-made, man-made operation.
For me, from the first article I read in China news sources the news rang a bell. I said so to my inner conspiracy monitor (a genetic disposition to think that much of what the world regards as random, accidental, or not proven otherwise is man-made, Intel agency-generated.) I connected it to the mysterious vaping pneumonia deaths right away. Then the news of Fort Detrick being shut down in the same summer as the vaping death epidemic all linked, for me, into a mosaic of “man-made”.
That it erupted in Wuhan was quite understandable. That was no coincidence. That was where the Level 4 biolab was located. Perfect.
When it erupted, right before the mass migration of Chinese New Year (Jan. 24) perfect again for the widest dispersal possible, human-to-human among five million in Wuhan, 700 million nation-wide.
As some facts came out, how easy to insert it into Wuhan–the virus lives for 3 days on metal or hard plastic.
Door handles, elevator buttons, bicycle handlebars, car doors, bus seats, etc.
It began 10 days before Dec.26-27th in Hubei-Wuhan. The first cases were mother, father and adult son. CGTN’s show The Point had a half-hour interview with the woman doctor who handled the cases in Hubei hospital respiratory department. Dr. Zhang Jixian was the first to alert authorties, not the opthalmologist who died. She warned her superiors and the warning went to the municipal CDC and the provincial CDC and it went on-line at the reporting portal directly to the National Health Ministry. They decided that those 3 plus 4 more who came in on the 28th and 29th of December had a new, unidentified virus condition. Six of the patients were moved to another hospital for intensive care. The adult son patient stayed, and Dr. Zhang cured him. The other six were cured at other hospitals, too. Meanwhile in other Wuhan hospitals, ten more patients arrived with the same virus condition.
The Chinese focused on the science of the virus, creating the genome so it could alert the world with scientific information.
Was it a natural-forming virus that climbed from wild bats to local animals to residents of Hubei/Wuhan or was it something moved from the US lab (discovered as a new coronavirus in US studies, natural-forming) and used to attack China’s society in a stealth attack, labeled a “leak” from the Wuhan lab, and propagandized as China’s fault and liability? How did the US discover the new coronavirus, if that was a fact? When Ft. Detrick was contaminated. That would be the moment a US accident led to a US idea to use the new virus as a weapon.
And the argument of natural-forming is not set as scientific fact. It might not be natural-forming.
I read that the virus that first came to Wuhan via the US soldiers who too part in the Military games in Wuhan from October 18-27, was the ‘A’ type found only in bats in the US and Australia. This came out in a study lead by Forster – the lead virologist of Cambridge University.
In Wuhan, it undergone 2 mutations to become the “B” type. The “B” virus spread to Germany where it further mutate into the more lethal “C” type. From Germany it spread to Italy and the USA.
But the ‘mother’ virus was the “A” type found only in bats in the USA and Australia.
So the genealogy of the virus points to Australia and the USA. It therefore raised the possibility that covid-19 is a bio-weapon attack on China planned by the USA and its lap-dog – Australia.
The West led by the USA and closely followed by Australia is without a conscience. They had rejected the God of the Bible and is now living wholly in a Satanic post-truth world. This is exemplified by Mike “we lie, we cheat, we steal” Pompeo the present US Secretary of State.
@Simon C
Australia was certainly embedded up to its eyeballs in this.
Lost down the memory hole from early January is reporting on how Australia was at the forefront of finding a vaccine.
“Leading the world”… in research into this new flu.
http://Www.abc.net carried lots of items, all quoting Atlantic Council spokesclowns.
I posted a link in a January MFC where ABC reported they were actually on site in a Melbourne lab when the virus was first identified: “We got it” was the jubilant report..( seriously… how likely is that???)……
Col from NZ clicked less than 30mins after I posted… and the item had been deleted!
I had it in cache, but even though I was sure I screenshot and saved it – it’s gone.
But I really knew it was a bioweapon when the ABC ran a piece quoting an Atlantic Council spokesclown absolutely refuting the conspiracy theories that it was a bioweapon.
As it had now been officially denied as “fake news” ….. I knew for certain it was true.
It’s still online.

The very next day…
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.
Keep in mind that the Coronavirus incubation period is 14 days. So, fourteen days later…
The first occurrences in December appeared.

It is great to see how an Australian media owner (Godless Rupert) can so easily get US media and politicians to do his bidding. As an Australian it is heartwarming …. but don’t these people have any pride.
Thank the gods that Rupert gave up Australian citizenship to become a US media mogul!
Here is an interview with Peter Forster, one of the researchers in the Cambridge University study that suggests that COVID-19 might *not* have originated in Wuhan.
Virus origin: Scientists claim COVID-19 outbreak did not start in China’s Wuhan

“And now news from the US, one of the most read on the Internet today. The Pentagon admitted to collecting biological materials of Russians. Vladimir Putin claimed this two days ago at a meeting with human rights activists but many of them didn’t believe his words.
The US military department now confirmed the fact but tried to justify themselves, saying they’ve been collecting biological materials in Russia solely for medical purposes. But is it true? Why is the research in St. Petersburg led by a US citizen? And we did find such a scientific center. Is Russia facing a biological threat? Alexei Petrov has the details.
Correspondent:
The Pentagon recognizes that the US Air Force did hold a tender, hoping to acquire the necessary biological materials. The military is especially interested in everything related to the way joints work. The main requirements for the donor are to be from Russia and have no serious diseases.”
@Larchmonter445
This is a resource article. Save it for years to come.
This historic event will be with you the rest of your life, and the debate will not end, ever.
Absolutely agree.
Also absolutely agree that my spidery conspiratoid sense started twitching when I saw the meme-ready images prepared for social media of an Instagram influencer eating bat soup.
The bat soup/ wet market was all too “here’s a narrative we prepped earlier”….
And images of people dropping dead on the Wuhan streets….. footage aired everywhere….. it just MSM but alt sites I thought would “know”better…… but who can resist such great images…..
But no questioning of whoa and how such images were conveniently available.
Maybe capturing one person falling to the ground dead might be possible…. but so many… all with someone we a camera-phone at the ready to capture that exact instant.
???
Also. I have been reading about bioweapons, bioweapon labs and the research being undertaken since 2008.
So, again, the Wuhan flu seemed like something I knew was possible.
There has been more than a decades concentrated effort to find away to get disease from bats into humans.
Here at the cafe there have been many links provided since January, by myself and others, to the extensive research behind this covid 19.
This sars-cov-2 is “natural” in that it is indeed a “flu”.
But it has had extensive laboratory help in finding its way from bats to humans, via the ACE-2 receptors.
Pepe queries how the US intel knew in Nov China/Wuhan was in early stages of a major epidemic/ pandemic.
Over at Unz Review Ron Unz has written several times linking the 300 US participants in the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 19/21. He strongly believes the virus was released by US operatives posing as competitors. Evidently the US performance was exceptionally poor at these games, raising suspicion they were not athletes but agents.
The bat-eating video is from Indonesia, not China. But it worked. Millions saw it for proof that Chinese were eating the bats. That stuff came from an Asian Indian website. Spread like warm butter.
France 24 the Observers
As the coronavirus epidemic continues to rage across China,
people have been sharing a video on social media that they claim
shows a wide variety of animals – including dogs, rats and bats –
being sold for meat at the market in Wuhan, believed to be the
birthplace of the virus. Our team analysed this video and discov-
ered it was actually filmed thousands of miles away from Wuhan.

Also, if covid-19 is a bio-weapon attack on China to cripple her economy and stop her ascension in the world stage, it could only had been authorised pre or post by the ‘top dog’.
Hi Larchmonter445,
A thing to keep in mind that mathemathecal risk calculations are basically wool for over the eyes of the public. The amount of mathematical near impossibilities in the financial sector are enourmous during the last few decades for example. The amount of events that were classified like once in a million, once in one hundered thousand years etc risks calculated that happend are immense. The most recent example being the oil price going negative. One risk expert I learned to appriciate since brutally honest about all of this is Nassim Taleb. He has very interesting things to say, also about this virus. Also that most mathemetical models of risk are basically worthless.
A practical example. I gotten on my companies risk chart is an EMP caused by an astroid (60% of our business is transporting electicity from producer to customers). Historical records show they happen around every 125ish years. Insurance for protection against that (EMP destroys electicity distibution for years) was priced as if it would happen around every well over 100k years.
As of the origin of the virus. I do not know. What I do think is that the chances it being natural are very slim to put it mildly. What we do know is that there states doing official reserch in level 4 labs (research into the most deadly pathogenes). Ii think it is a safe assumption many more do it but do not declare it openly. Probably also less secure there thus.
There were 109 countries present on the ”soldier games” in Wuhan. If that was the cause of infection in China. Then there are 109 suspect countries. Many of them have a potential motive, some of what us normal people cannot get. For me it is way to soon to conclude it was the US. Of course, they are highly suspect. I also do not rule out rogue elements within them countries.

Hugo
“I connected it to the mysterious vaping pneumonia deaths right away”
Larchmonter, this mysterious vaping illness was strange…it was attributed to some chemical contamination (Vit E acetate) however, all those who died had elevated WBC count and C reactive protein which is indicative of an infection.
https://emcrit.org/ibcc/vaping-associated-pulmonary-injury/
I find it interesting that those who died of the vaping illness were mostly male with a median age of 23. This is exactly the cohort one would use for a phase I clinical trial (..believe it or not this is how some university students earn their pocket money)…
I did not pay much attention to the news story, as is my nature. But I did wonder what the Vitamin E was contaminated with? . . Then the story disappeared off the news, quicker than the Anthrax story in 2001.
So again, I wonder what was in that Vitamin E? If it were a hot live new virus, that would have launched the pandemic right there and then. Was it a test of a vaccine?
Spook medicine. Mengele would be turning in his grave (or cackling in his Argentine nursing home) at this news.
So now we have the “we decided to pull it” of this event.
Early on, the stories out of the Washington Times, the Epoch Times, and “greatgameindia.com” and anonymous blogger “harvardtothebighouse.com” who materialized out of the ether to ‘splain it to ye, naturally all pointed to the virology lab in Wuhan.
Later on, we have a parade of professors and other sciencey type guys, declaring without a doubt that it was a totally natural phenomenon, and came from a bat (that lives hundreds of miles from Wuhan, as I understand). But exploring the literature a little, I notice that molecular biologists can now ‘knit’ together a virus from off the shelf chemicals, based only on its genetic sequence (they cannot do this yet with any other thing, even a yeast cell or bacterium is far to complex to make from scratch). So there is no way to really prove the origin of this pest one way or the other.
All of that does seem like sort of an echo the “news” media immediately figuring out that 911 was planned by a mysterious Muslim friend of the Bush clan, followed by a parade of NIST scientists, debasing themselves to verify that a trash fire on the 12th floor would naturally cause a skyscraper to collapse into its own basement several hours later, within a span of 2 or 3 seconds.
But I’ll have to disagree with your remark below, L445, that the vast majority of people know. Way back around 1969, some of my own cohort from high school informed me that JFK was shot by the CIA because he was going to dismantle them (they were polysci majors, and I was a nerd). At the time I did not really internalize such news, and probably would have repeated the ‘deranged gunman’ story, up until about 2005. Someone pointed out a video of building 7 collapsing, and the Silverstein statement about it. At that time, I recalled what my schoolmate had said about the Kennedy murder, and it became clear.
Since then, it has been my experience that the majority (at least until 2015 or so) of people simply cannot digest this news, and will refuse to look at evidence of it. “A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest” — Paul Simon.
As weapons go, it’s a pretty crappy one, only killing a small fraction of a percent of its victims, but I suppose it is enough to take the blame for the economic reset.
As for China, I sort of doubt that blame will stick to them. But it isn’t because of any vast majority understanding anything. It’s more like they’re putting a ‘Hello Kitty’ temporary tattoo sticker on a blue whale, and expecting it to roll over and die.
You are probably right, we will never know…
As for not being lethal, neither is a landmine. It’s designed that way. It is more disruptive if you have to evacuate the sick/injured and then look after them than if they had been killed on the spot.
Amerikanski,
Overall, I get your notion.
The more recent generations perhaps don’t understand JFK’s assassination.
But those of us who lived through the 1960s understand what went down.
Malcolm X, JFK, MLK, Jr., RFK were a package of leaders and all were eliminated for reason, not random lone psychos.
Yes, time changes the mix of the population. Eventually, everyone who knows what happened and who did it will be gone. Just like the web resources get scrubbed, and even the Way Back Archive is doctored.
This struggle to find the truth, spread the truth and protect the resources that prove the truth is perpetual.
The Saker’s Vineyard is just such a contemporary resource. A profound reason why supporting it and linking it when on other social media or forums is vital to keeping the truth alive.
Pepe’s metaphor is always so much more apt than mine,
“The dogs bark, and the caravan rolls on.”
I don’t know where that comes from, but I should probably repeat it more often.
That metaphor goes back to the Ottoman Era….
very popular saying in Turkey, even today….
Pompeo’s “live exercise” comment is extremely overblown. He is merely framing events within his own reference and the actual Press conference video reveals nothing suspicious or revealing.
People really need to get used to the fact that like 911, the assassination of JFK and similar incidents, the vast majority of people will NEVER know the real truth about this virus. We can speculate, we can accuse, but we cannot know. Not in today’s world. Any singular truth is trumped by mountains of disinformation, speculation and opportunism.
We really do not even fully understand the virus, and that understanding is also mired in mountains of disinformation, speculation and opportunism.
The only thing we really know is that mountains of disinformation, speculation and opportunism prevail. And that is not some unique truth brought about by the pandemic, that is a truth you can bank on from the very outset of the disinformation age.
https://roacheforque.blogspot.com/search?q=truth
Incorrect, Roacheforque. The vast majority of people do know the truth about JFK, 911 and we are getting really close on the truth of this pandemic.
They have trained us well by lying, covering up, killing the investigators, and persecuting the truth tellers.
So we know the pattern. We understand their tradecraft.
They can’t fool us.
We know their M.O.
This is questionable, they know what they want to believe, and nothing more.
I don’t mean this as criticism, but may I give a kind of intermediate opinion?
I think lots of people know there is something fishy, but for some things we may never know the complete truth. Nobody believes that bullets make curves of 90 degrees in a car. But do people really care? Can you tell me who shot JFK, and what will this bring us?
The scenario that Pepe unfolds for us (thanks Pepe, always a treat to read your articles), is to say in Skripalspeak ‘higly likely’ (btw, where are these people anyway?). For now, it won’t bring us any further because we have to deal with it for now and that will take another year or so (gut feeling, I’m not a virologist).
If the point is that this will be used to blame China, yes they will. But it won’t stand.
Cheers, Rob
Well it wont bring much beyond perhaps compassion, for his motivations were probably going to be good for the country, but his intentions were going to be fatal to the advancement of the human race.
So the country was going to survive w/o him, but the human race was not going to survive (to its fullest potential) with him.
Rightio Rob,
Who shot JFK? Easy! Have a look at the video’s of LHO murder in the police garage/basement, and you will see the same team at work that shot JFK. Officer William J Harrison aka Johannes Overbeeke, demonstrates he is left-handed when he destroys the cigarette he is smoking. However within minutes when LHO is shot, Officer Harrison is holding a smoking cigar. Officer William J Harrison was the shooter on the grassy knoll.
Immediately after LHO is shot, Harrison moves forward and to the rear of the shooter. The shooter is wearing a fedora style hat, which never gets knocked off his head in any struggle. The shooter is also wearing a suit, but when Jack Ruby (Rubenstein) is marched down the 3rd floor corridor by Harrison, Ruby has lost the fedora, and the suit jacket, his white shirt has been ripped open displaying his singlet and his tie has been pulled almost undone, and none of this damage to Jack Ruby’s attire happened in the police garage, ergo the shooter could not have been Jack Ruby, ergo who was the shooter?
There is a photograph of LHO being escorted out of the Texas Theatre by a man munching on a cigar. There is another photograph of this man outside the School book depository building wearing a fedora, whilst JFK’s vehicle drives past. This ‘agent’ also shot Officer JD Tippit outside 104 tenth Street. Australians know this man as Joe Vialls; Americans know him as Ari ben Menashe.
During the arrest of the shooter in the police garage, after Harrison has moved to protect the shooter from the back, Harrison is joined by a tall skinny man wearing a ‘Tenby’ style hat. This was Henry Ayres of Alaska, aka Alexander Henri Legault, the third man of the team and was the shooter on the top of the Del-Tex building. These men were all former SAS snipers hire by James Angleton and Bill Harvey (CIA) from MI6. Their boss was photographed outside the TSBD well after the assassination. How this assassination was planned by Edward Lansdale who had resigned his commission on the 1st November, and was photographed passing the arrested ‘Three Tramps’ after their arrest.
How do I know this? That’s easy; Joe told me that himself in an email he sent me via a roundabout manner. In fact some of you may even know Joe as he used to comment on this blog under the name of Mulga Mumblebrain.
WOW Andrew you are breaking my poor simple head!
You are saying that MM is Joe Vialls aka Ari ben Menashe who along with two other SAS blokes shot LH Oswald JFK?
Stunning revelation if true.
Andrew
Do you mean this AbM?
https://www.mintpressnews.com/ari-ben-menashe
Wikipedia informs he was born in 1951
And Joe Vialls died in 2005 acc to Wikipedia – so how could he be Mulga Mumblebrain?
Clearly I don’t have access to the resources at your disposal but your claim seems out of this world.
We’re discussing ‘intelligence’ but maybe take this one to the MFC
@Roacheforque
Why is the Pompeo statement of a “live exercise” overblown? Why would he use such a technical term whose meaning is well understood but probably not so much by the common human because it’s rarely used in normal conversation? Why did Trump immediately retort “you should have let us know”, revealing Trump knows very well the actual meaning of that term?
@Larchmonter
I agree 100% with you and Pepe Escobar. I also think that @Trump was not informed of what was going down. I think one faction knows exactly what it is doing with this coronavirus. Enough scientists are now starting to question the unnatural “gain of function” of the virus with some even stipulating that it would have had to go for several thousand years to mutate with said “gain of function” if it’s even possible.
Pompeo has tested positive for being a poisonous Christian toad.

If the U.S. is behind the Covid-19, then it takes American “backfire syndrome”, where U.S. attacks on other countries backfire spectacularly, to a new level.
The word is “blowback”.
Sort of– I have something a bit different in mind. The people in Washington are not competent. They develop these schemes against countries like Russia or Iran, but don’t have enough of a feel for international affairs to pull them off. Instead they end up undermining the U.S. in some way or elevating their target. Trump and his clueless cronies seem to take these blunders to a new level. If they are behind the Covid-19 this will be a new level of disaster and incompetence.
@Edward.
More like:
Make sure the stick you throw is not a boomerang…..
Blowback, you say? Are sure it’s not Payback? The Chinese know what we did.
I read the fact that Trump and the US NATO allies did nothing for four whole months, went about their business as though there was nothing to worry about and that the virus would mainly affect China and Chinese, as a curiosity.
Perhaps the reason they did nothing to prepare was because they thought that the virus would not infect the West. Now why did they think that?
Or perhaps they were wrong-footed by the virus which mutated to infect the West with a more deadly strain?
Trump and the US NATO allies have all economic problems, each their own, if they thought they could beneffit by getting rid of certain ammount of people so as to save their asses, they will allow the virus spread in their own countries.
If a great economic crisis was already announced some years ago, governments would greatly beneffit y accelerating it while people is into lockdown.
At the same time, as the armies of pensioners have been always one of the main worries in old Europe, if at the same time you get rid of a good bunch of them, plus a great part of the fixed health personel who are about ot retire or will do in a decade or so, some of your problems seem to be solving.
Recall how Macron was before all this started, he had all the public employees out protesting the pension reforms plus the Yellow Vests…
The USA usually points to and blames those countries where it did some (heavy) damage. I think China will be no exception from this behavior. And to blame China for this virus and make it “pay for” is some sort of extremely sick behavior or big monetary and economic problems.
Moreover, its way is too sad that still too many people believe mainstream media, especially some “prepared” pictures instead of starting to question.
The MERS and SARS viruses (inclusive the COVID-19) cannot withstand higher temperatures. At least at 70°C those viruses are dead. Even before this temperature are reached, I think by 50°C its RNA is already too damaged to infect anybody/-thing.
If Chinese eat really bats (so as already in a former post stated they do not) by some sort of cooking bats would be dead. I don’t think at a wet market this COVID-19 virus could spread so much that it would infect people by “smear infection”. Viruses don’t “jump”.
So some “implementation” could surely be very possible, however maybe different to search for as well as even known the West’s mainstream media would never report ist.
Moreover, I would like to point out that to masses it becomes from day to day more obvious that this COVID-19 virus isn’t as deadly as had been said.
As mostly old and already sick people fall prey to.
So I think the masses worldwide will until next summer not longer pay into US propaganda war against China. Listening to many more and more people start to discredit lock-downs. And with it the actions of their governments.
Hello monnalisa,
Agreed, it is not as deadly as said. Our RIVM here in Holland (loosly translated translated, Governement Institute for public health and enviroment) that is basically that. They advise government and as you can see here from their own site that the only risk observed is for elderly. Still locked down the whole country. I refer to the graph ”Aantal overledenen naar leeftijd en geslacht” here in Holland in this link https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus-covid-19/grafieken. It shows clearly that there are basically 0 deaths (but IC admissions) up to the age brackets up to 44. Up to 70 yo deaths are sad, dont get me wrong but most had underlying issues like cancer, heart issues and the likes. It only spikes for the older they are.
We were told yesterday that all have to remain in lock down till may 11th while also showing no one basically died up to 45 yo age bracket. The models were also wrong since the predictions of overwhelmed health care also didnt happen. So what is the agenda? Why keep every one locked down under the age of 45? Or even 65 actually? I am getting suspicious and am playing with the idea of another power and money grab by the elites like they did twice already this century.

Hugo

#1 2:20 Historical weekly deaths for the likes of France, Netherlands, Turkey Indonesia, Britain, Spain, Belgium, Sweden…the pattern is clear in every case…an enormous spike in total deaths. These are excess deaths that don’t even account for the deaths avoided by the lockdowns.
#2 10:50 Very disturbing evidence of permanent lung damage from even mild symptoms
#3 11:55 Active scuba divers had irreversible lung damage even though they only had mild Covid-19 symptoms

Thanks for posting this…for an “its nothing, it will go away” virus it sure as hell has f#&^%%d with those historical weekly death tolls!

Hello Col…’the farmer from NZ’,
Thank you for your kind message even though you disagree. A good basis for honest sharing of thoughts when they are opposed.
I know and DID (and now dont) follow mr Martenson’s work since he has been wrong many times. He was big on peak oil. Gosh, we are awashed with that stuff. Before him it was the club of rome promoting the same. He also predicted that hyperinflation would have happend before now. Also did not happen and then some. I came to the conclusion (before this virus) that he is a Malthus believer. Malthus predicted late 1700 early 1800 that human over population would destroy the riches they had back then. Never came true. Oh, an our savior from this virus is like Malthus as well. Bill Gates that is. He stated openly in older interviews he likes to curtail the amout of humans on this planet.
I do fully agree with him (another theme of Mr Martenson) on us all becoming more decentralised and more resilent.
As I shown from the graph of the Dutch version of the US CDC. (I refer to the graph ”Aantal overledenen naar leeftijd en geslacht” here in Holland in this link https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus-covid-19/grafieken) Basically no one under the age of 60 dies of this. The ones above 60 that do in most cases have underlying diseases. Like reporting, well, you had a heart attack with heart issues but are infected with corona. Well, you die because of corona. As the joke (very dark now) goes, there are lies, damn lies and then government statistics. That is my take.
I have no doubts that some that caught corona have health issues after being cured ofcourse. But to lock up the whole globe to protect some people from getting lung issues? That seems outlandish to me to say the least. Sure, we should protect the vulnerable. That is for that is for sure since we need to learn more about this ugly virus. But what people like mr Martenson propose is basically worse then the examples I am going to give
We know car accidents kill more people <65 then corona. Just as serious injuries. So lets ban car driving for all. Permanently. For some reason we accept that risk and not from corona even while it id mild.
We also know air pollution kills big time. Well, lets just stop all industrial activity. Well, that we are doing. You will find out what the results will be.
We also know that wars sanctions and so on kill big time. Miss Albright was so happy to say that the 500k Irak kids alone that died during the sanctions crisis were very worth killing off even though based on a lie. (she knew when she made that statement, just as the public). For some reason, that continues big time and is expanded upon even. More killing there, but hey, a virus that kills way less is enough to kill the economy.
To summarise it, even though we lock down our economies all effords shoud remain in place to kill way more then the virus via war, sanctions, bombing and so on. Bombing, sanctions and the likes deaths are good! Way less virus deaths are bad.
We also know that isolation is killing mind wise. The UN recognises it as torture.
I could go on but I think I made my point. The case is that here all the horror projections about medical triage and so on turned out to be a wrong nog time to say the least. Mr Martenson states it is a disaster here. It is not at all. If we did not had massive austerity here (needed since so recless before) our ICU would have more then capable to deal with it. It was the recless spending and the consequences that made this bad. Still never close to horrible as we were told it would be.
Anecdotal evidence. Public authorities here called upon all ex nurses, surgeons and so on to help. My early retired steph mom signed up to help. Her whole working life was about nursing critical patients (and the ones recovering from it. Only to hit the burocazy wall. Yes during the times MSM was shouting, health system will implode.
The solution being proposed to this flue scares me big time though. Proves to me at least again the motto, never let a good crisis go to waste. Forced vaccines, privacy gone, economy gone and thus you gone.
This truely reminds me of a clip I saw of two prime ministers giving exactly the same speach on why to attack Iraq in 2003 ish. Just as all the exact same mass media reports on lesser things. All saying exactly the same things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYfDTsjwE58&feature=emb_title
I know I sound conspirital now and I am not. I seen so many lies, conspiracy theories going to conspiracy fact. I am using official Dutch government statistics now proving basically no one dies from corona under 60.
What I do agree upon is that the elderly and people with underlying diseases should be protected from exposure since I agree with you that they have high risk. Higher then normal.
From official sources here, there are 2000 more deaths vs a normal flue season. Less so when there is a harsh flue season. We expose ourself with this lock down to food shortages and related supply chain break downs. Sweden isnt doing to bad.
Even the UN now projects that 100s of thousands will perish or be thrown into extreme poverty because of this. if not millions. Not because of the virus but because of the draconian actions. A nice statistic, every one death in the US attributed to the virus means 545 unemployed people in the US (remember the statistics note I made). Most losing their health insurance and homes. I am also getting mental issues for being locked down in my house. Knowing full well that if I catch corona, my death rate chance via official governemnt records be 0.05%
For some reason, I like them chances. Lets end this and protect the vulnerable people. Let the ones that like their chances to do what they want to do. That is what a free society is about in my mind. Not what the proven tyrans want to get out of this.
I hope I given you some food for thought. Just as you did to me.
Regards,
Hugo
CIA generally is not smart but stupid. However they are not stupid enough to not take a chance of using COVID-19 as another tool to increase panic and steal people’s property. Like in many times before we should not too easily follow the path of conspiracy theory but likely that of opportunism. Obviously Trump, Pompeus and Deep State thought this COVID-19 could destroy China’s economy. However they never thought it would be their actually western problem. Trump can’t be too sure of his re-election in November.
to Ernests:
Even if not Trump will be elected next time – so what?
Do you think anything will change ? Maybe. Maybe not.
But to see the behavior of USA since the WWII nothing will stop its hegemonic aspiration. Whether this or that president – USA will follow a certain path. And this will not differ whatever has been said before elections.
USA follows the path of the Middle Ages and later until the 17th/18th century.
Feudal hegemony. Nowadays in case of USA the “different” deep state’s entities together with the “elite”.
The point which I feel very sad for the US population: why are the people so disinterested (and dump, please forgive) and don’t question the government/state’s behavior and the exorbitant debt accumulated? Do they think USA can rob other countries and than what ?
We aren’t in the Middle Ages yet – with the Internet things changed greatly and when today still too many individuals believe lies tomorrow and after tomorrow it will have been changed. Nothing will stay forever.
And the reserve currencies – looking at past times – couldn’t stay very long.
Pepe, you have said some interesting things, not only in this article. There are interesting coincidences that somehow jived with this virus:
1. oil war. Intended to throw Russia to it’s knees, backfired, forcing the Wallstreet, in order to keep US oil being extracted, to allegedly take over the oil wells. And then we hear “May orders for oil in Texas hitting -$37+”? Are they going to pay us till out tanks? I guess not.
https://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2020/4/negative-oil-prices-theyre-already-here/
2. Kennedy allegedly saying that some Lab in Wuhan was financed by “someone in US” to the amount of $3.6mln do work and develop virus “SARS+bat-covid aka Chimera”. Do you think he dreamed it up? I do not think so.
3. MAGA and suing China for $tens-of-trillions by claiming “it’s all China’s fault”? Hmm.
Break down what is known Before This “Event”, What Is Known Now…….and What Is Not Known Now (but might be reasonably anticipated, in order of priority or importance:
# 1 The only possible way that a tiny percentage of the world population can maintain their parasitical domination over billions of people…… is through Divide and Conquer methods of mind control using fear and maintaining their victims in general ignorance. The Game is up for the Empire if too many people in too many places get wise to this manipulation. Ergo…the main premise of Pepe’s article is correct: It is necessary to divide especially USA from China (Where’d Russia go? Oh, forget about them. LOL …Russiagate didn’t work..SO .we need mail-in voting now! Lockdowns through November!..and China-China-China!) in the current time frame.
# 2 Here’s where almost everyone falls into the trap:
No decent sized town or city, let alone any nation of 10-340 millions of persons or 1 billion # persons…………is homogenous in terms of containing good or bad people. China is not all angels…the USA is not all devils. Apparently the American devils have their Chinese partners and those partners are willing to play a traitorous role against their own country, China for personal gain just as America has had especially wealthy and traitorous ego-driven “elites” from the very beginning. . However the preponderance of evidence points to US bioweapons origin of a highly infective but not very deadly (but enormously HYPED virus) in a new iteration of an old pattern of bio-manipulation for political control and propaganda purposes…going back decades.
This does not mean the Covid 19 Conspiracy (of US, Chinese and other nationalities “breathing together” for “world government” purposes was originated by Donald Trump. IN point of obvious FACT, it was originated by his political enemies, for the purpose of getting him out of office, primarily, I would argue …..in the short term.
And that is precisely where many of you will grow annoyed and exasperated by “too much complexity” and demand to get back to the Oh so absorbing soccer or rugby sports match between the two Fearsome Behemoth “Eternal Opponents” USA and China.
The elites knew that you would react that way. You’ve been programmed to do so all of your lives.
Pepe’s argument is that Blaming China (and perpetuating US vs China conflict…..even leading to military attacks…WAR) is the primary goal. Medium to long term that is correct.But in the short term, Trump “I think better relations with Russia and China would be a good thing, not a bad thing.” ….TRAITOR!! lol….is an obstacle to the Empire objective….not a reliable implementer of it.
Do not be surprised by what happens next inside the US…maybe even before the November election in terms of Trump’s tune with regard to China. He knows his most deadly enemy resides in DC…not Beijing. Do you know that he knows that??? If you do know, don’t forget it. If you doubt he knows that, please consider that you may be incorrect.
But he needs re-election before he can really establish much better relations….simply because any slip ups between now and November…mean Clinton, Obama, Brennan, Gates, Fauci, etc …The Empire Minions win…and the American Republic…as an idea at least in many Americans…is forever crushed as they are vaccinated, tatooed, barcoded and Microsoft-chipped or taken to FEMA camps as “enemies of the (fascist) corporatist state if they refuse to comply. Or they are shot resisting.
I know. It’s too complicated and you’re getting a headache…and need to relax with a beer and watch a good football game….or China vs USA sports match of any highly competitive physically and mentally adversarial nature.
Here I am talking to mainly the China “home crowd.fans”.
The same goes for the vast majority of dumb ‘Muricans that think they’re the home team being invaded…by a “Chinese Virus”.
This is the Colonel calling Nostradamus 93…do you read me?
You said…
“No decent sized town or city, let alone any nation of 10-340 millions of persons or 1 billion # persons…………is homogenous in terms of containing good or bad people. China is not all angels…the USA is not all devils.”
Goodness me, never in a million years would that have ever occurred to me…it just goes to show how truly lost we would all be without your superior knowledge, guidance, and constant proclamations of the real facts.
Methinks there is a word for this condition…for the life of me, I can’t remember what the hell it is…super something maybe?…ummm, no, no it’s gone…damn, I’ll have to ask Amarynth.
Why does everyone think that a virus has to come out of a military bio-weapons lab after being tinkered with insertions and artificial constructions? Why not just let a virus naturally mutate until it has become something far more dangerous and then package that for deployment?
Didn’t we hear initially that Covid only affected Asian people? Maybe that was the intent but unfortunately viruses will do as they please and will always mutate further.
The circumstantial evidence from all this shaped political rhetoric is troubling.
One version on what is taking place would be that the US Deep State has been at work and the uncivil ware within the US is trying to drain the swamp. Here is a link how an American professor lied about his illegal activity in Wuhan:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-and-two-chinese-nationals-charged-three-separate-china-related
Who placed a false flag? Some who can see the overall picture?
If i may let myself loose on an (educated) guessing spree, pardon me for doing that, but I like it, this is a multi pronged direction affair.
For some reason that escapes the naked eye, the nouveau riche sods donning funny names like ‘deep state’ or whatever, seem to be completely hysterical about Donald Trump. This has been more then visible to the naked eye for the last 4 years, no need to elaborate on that- everything has been thrown at him except the kitchen sink.
That has to be strange because Trump is just another noveau rich sod, just as vulgar and primitive as the rest, including his opponents. So where does this amount of hatred and fear of him come from? Is it Trump that Soros, Clinton, Gates, etc. are so afraid of, or are they afraid of some big dark shadow behind Trump? Shadow of Someone being rather vieux riche?
This epidemic looks like the last try to get rid of Trump, hoping the bursting the mother of all financial bubbles before the election spoils his chances. Most probably the operation was intended to try getting rid of Putin and Xi at the same time, if the luck would have it. This point of the plan seems to have failed miserably. The persons with the big dark shadows are unleashing the unprecedented helicopter money bombardment, so the Trump riddance seems just as unlikely.
What I am asking myself, when and how do we get rid of the psychopatic idiots, of these monkeys who got into the tank turret somehow? Is even this scale of crime against all humanity going to be tolerated, and if yes, why, and to keep whom happy?
Some good information thanks!
Bombshell article. I get flak for posting this link but – Watch: https://youtu.be/3J6zm6zgah0?t=8
Like the US is responsible for similar damage to Iraq. Economic liability is not like ice cream flavours where you can choose. When you betray logic in one area it tends to grow and it’s result makes some folk look like fools. It betrays maturity.
When hubris surpasses reason empires crumble.
Colonel, It appears my “Smell of Money” Empire Land Mines reply to my first post here is in review.
Should it be sanitized, by flushing, let me answer your above annoyed reply with …ummm slightly more agape:
I said, in that attempted post, “I have discovered a new doctor on this COVID business whose only 1 I have seen of many videos …… I will post.”.
This fellow ( an American…but apparently of Southwest Asian ethnic origin…) adds something new, that Dr Shiva and Dr Paul Cottrell lack (military service) which gets right to the bottom of this New World Order Septic Tank….and so that more people reading this thread absorb his facts and passion for truth, let me put you right in the middle of the first video that I have seen of him:
https://youtu.be/WGbYHJcMbz8?t=1438
What does he say there??? For those too lazy or too cliquish in the Cafe against me to click on the above link, Dr Rasid Buttar says THIS:
“Gary, I know a friend who served in that First Gulf War, his name is First Sgt Rafael Medina, from Columbus South Carolina. We were told that we were deployed to Kuwait and Iraq to save Kuwait’s oil from Saddam Hussein destroying their wells by fire. Medina told me, Dr Buttar, I personally, along with other US forces in 6 dune buggies set 300 of those oil well fires.’………. in Kuwait.
The reason Rashid is SO passionate in this video, is that in addition to intimate knowledge of that false flag nearly 30 years ago………he is highly trained in Medicine and can see the Bigger Picture….and is alarmed by so many other medical professionals that he knows know….but are cowed into silence. Just like your cattle.
Now, Colonel…..ask yourself this:
“What is different this time, in contrast to the GHW Bush, Bill Clinton, Dubya and Hussein Administrations that gives some hope of blowing up The Mother of ALL Empire False Flags (so far)???
If you have difficulty answering this question, here’s a helpful hint:
Rashid supplies you with the answers in his interview. If you are unable to find those answers…..I’ll come back here and try to help you out on that.
Excellent spot. Thank you for linking. Very interesting. Wouldn’t be the first time the U.$. used FalseFlag to try and achieve their own objectives.
The Covid-19 numbers DON’T WASH. They don’t make sense. The number of infections in the U.$. is OUT OF CONTROL compared to all the models and examples from other countries around the world. But why?
Contagion models are very effective at calculating spread and resistance in a populations to the emergence of NEW epidemics. But the the U.$. bucks this trend to SUCH A DEGREE that the standard contagion models break down. Nothing makes sense with regards to the U.$. (or Italy for that matter). The standard WHO (and accepted medical practice) contagion model is ‘kaput’… Unless…
Unless the original date of spread of Covid-19 in the U.$. is MUCH EARLIER than the White House, Pentagon and CDC want to say. When was the U.$’s. PATIENT ZERO? When was Covid-19 FIRST ‘disclosed’ in the U.$. and when was the first patient zero DISCOVERED in the U.$? These are not necessarily the same question and you may not necessarily get the same answer. Why would this be such a ‘tricky question’ for the CDC to answer? It could only be tricky for the CDC to answer if they WANTED to hide the true origin of Covid-19.
Nostradamus 93
You asked…
“What is different this time, in contrast to the GHW Bush, Bill Clinton, Dubya and Hussein Administrations that gives some hope of blowing up The Mother of ALL Empire False Flags (so far)???”
Absolutely no problem whatsoever….and the difference is simply he is even dumber than the dumbest on your list…quite something to top Baby Bush on that count!
Some more pearls of wisdom from Trumpty Dumpty!…
” I see that disinfectant knocks it [CV-19] out in a minute…and is there a way we can do something like that…or of injection inside or almost a cleaning…because you see it gets in the lungs mumble burble and does a tremendous amount of harm…so it would be interesting to check…but you are going to have to use medical doctors…but it sounds interesting to me.”
All I can say is thank god this clown is not a medical researcher.

Nostradamus 93
Hold on a minute, on second thought if he had taken up a career in medicine he would likely have caused far fewer deaths than he would operating from the big old house where like his predecessors he is effectively given license to kill…indeed license to kill millions. Of course, the death tally from the US’s global rampage stands at roughly 30 million since WW2…add to that serious injuries and the number comes to a mind-numbing 330 million…pretty close to the total current population of the belligerent Hegemon.
Yet you have faith in this meat-head with the vision of an amoeba, the foreign policy of a drunken sailor, and the moral compass of Attila the Hun.
And talking about moral compasses, I could give you 100 examples of your idol’s complete lack of one. I will give you just one because it is is so utterly obscene it is all that is needed to leave no doubt in my mind. It involved the $350 billion deal over 10 years to the KSA and Trump’s personal ecstatically gleeful announcement of the deal…https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2018-04/news/trump-touts-saudi-arms-sales…
the fact that these munitions would be used against Yemen, the poorest nation in the ME, and add to an already appalling humanitarian crisis seemingly totally escaped him.
a quote from another link…https://www.vox.com/2017/5/20/15626638/trump-saudi-arabia-arms-deal
“The deal had been in the works for some time, but the White House evidently pushed hard to finalize the deal in time to announce it during the president’s trip to Saudi Arabia. It was meant to send a clear message: Trump isn’t going to do things the way his predecessor did.
Back in September, the Obama administration approved a more than $115 billion arms deal with the Saudis. But as the death toll and reports of human rights violations in the Saudi-led war on Yemen began to rise dramatically, the Obama administration nixed the sale of the precision-guided munitions it had originally agreed to put in the deal to try to coerce the Saudis into curbing those atrocities.
Now those munitions are back in the Trump arms package — which speaks volumes about this administration.
In fact, the entire deal paints a vivid picture of the Trump administration — an administration that is willing to bend over backwards to make deals with important friends, that doesn’t let human rights concerns get in the way of doing business, and where personal relationships with those closest to the president can prove highly lucrative.”
unquote…
Disclaimer…Yes, Hitlery would have been worse in the warfare stakes, so too would Sleepy Joe if he ever took up residence. This leaves just one positive with the incumbent MIGA POTUS…the fact that he has hastened the complete destruction of the Hegemons diplomatic capital to such a degree that their unilateral assault on the world will soon be a thing of the past.
By the way, the great state of the economy under Trump’s stewardship before CV-19 was complete fairy tale land anyway, so add that the to the veritable bonfire of diplomatic Browny points and the trend is a veritable train wreck. Trump’s pretense of success was completely delusional.
Prior CV-19…six ways to Sunday as to why the whole US economy was a complete farce before the black swan swam…ummm I mean arrived…
#1 The FED drove 93% of the stock market gains since 2008
#2 Real unemployment was already in double digits and as John Williams demonstrated if the calculation was legitimate would have been more than 20%
#3 GDP was much lower and real inflation multiples higher than official figure show …lies, damn lies, and statistics!…also GDP is always a nominal figure anyway…not adjusted for inflation
#4 US private debt was 150% of GDP
#5 Corporate debt was 73% of GDP
#6 Total debt was 350% of GDP = completely unsustainable even before CV-19

The Colonel
Even stranger information is coming out.—In California, two things are recently being mentioned.
1) Of persons showing presumed coronavirus symptoms who are tested only some 10-11% show results positive for actual coronavirus infection.
2) When persons are tested for antiviral antibodies proving past infection with coronavirus, it is showing that huge numbers of persons have in fact been infected but have never shown any symptoms of illness.
That all leads to a suspicion that coronavirus might not be the real and only cause of this spreading sickness.
Maybe the commotion about “coronavirus” is fake and false. The real cause of the sickness is something else.
The quite possibly criminal Dr Fauci warned for this virus outbreak in 2017. He himself circumnavigated US legislation of 2014 that forbids further research into chimeric viruses and funded (with US taxpayers money) further research done in China.

Dear Pepe,
Tis an interesting article, but there are certain aspects that I believe could be further investigated.
You wrote:
“Add to it the intriguing question of why the NCMI was so interested in this particular flu season in China in the first place – from plague cases treated in Beijing to the first signs of a “mysterious pneumonia outbreak” in Wuhan” which is the normal ‘Why’ question, which should demonstrate a prior knowledge, but what that knowledge was is yet to be determined. .
You then state: “There may have been subtle hints of slightly increased activity at clinics in Wuhan in late November and early December. But at the time nobody – Chinese doctors, the government, not to mention U.S. intel – could have possibly known what was really happening.” The problem is that somebody did know which is why the NCMI was so interested.
You mentioned ‘Event 201’ and the link is rather innocent, so here is a better link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoLw-Q8X174&authuser=0.
And of course, this ‘Event 201’ video was put out on the same day as the Military Games started in Wuhan, the 18th October, but the problem here is that ‘Event 210’ was not a spontaneous event, but rather a well planned event, which simply means that the gist of their preparations would have occurred prior to the release date.
And then you stated; “Then, on January 3, the head of the American CDC, Robert Redfield, called the top Chinese CDC official.”, but unfortunately you did not name that particular Chinese official, though I doubt it would have been George Fu Gao. So considering all of this, let’s go back to ‘Event 201’.
There were fifteen players at this table-top planning event. Three of them were Australian; Sarah Jane Halton under the ANZ Bank logo, but in reality a recently retired top Australian Federal government bureaucrat who had worked in the Federal government ever since she finished her studies at the ANU and her final positions were as Secretary of health and then finally Secretary of Finance. Then there was Sofia Borges, whose role in the UN centred on Timor and finally Adrian Thomas of Johnson & Johnson.
Then there was Stephen C. Redd. His CV for the event states: “RADM Stephen C. Redd is the Deputy Director for Public Health Service and Implementation Science at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Dr Redd currently oversees the Centre for Preparedness and Response: The Center for Global Health, etc, etc. dr. Redd became Director for CDC’s Center for Preparedness and Response while CDC responded to the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, when he helped to ensure that congressional stakeholders were kept up to date on the evolving outbreak. [so forth and so on.] Previously Dr. Redd served as incident commander for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic response, which was the longest activation of CDC’s Emergency Operations Center at the time. As leader of the response involving more than 3,000 CDC staff, he aided in the effort to vaccinate 81 million people against H1N1 in the United States.
Now if you think that Stephen Redd is an interesting chap, then how about George!
Professor George Fu Gao is the Director General, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention; a Professor in the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Society of Biotechnology; and President of the Asian Federation of Biotechnology (AFOB) Dr Gao obtained his DPhil degree from Oxford University, UK, and did his postdoc work in both Oxford University and Harvard University, with a brief stay in Calgary University. His research interests include enveloped viruses and molecular immunology. His group research is mainly focused on the enveloped virus entry and release, especially influenza virus interspecies transmission (host-jump) structure-based drug-design, and structural immunology. He is also interested in virus ecology, especially the relationship between influenza virus and migratory birds or live poultry markets and the bat-derived virus ecology and molecular biology. He led the China CDC team from September to November 2014 to work in Sierra Leone in the fight against Ebola.
Now what is the chancers that Dr Gao is from Hong Kong? And then we are supposed to believe that all of this is wildly coincidental!
What would have been the motivation for such a move? To weed out the weak so the strong could carry on, but in the process possibly compromise the strong’s environment so as to further separate them from themselves.
It has the potential to set back humanity as a whole for many years or even decades to come, or, if the winging it aspect prevails, set a new course for humanity, which would also take decades.
Seems like a big risk to me with such an undetermined outcome as the most likely result.

————————————————–
Prof. Dr. Alfred Nordheim – https://www.livercancer.de/people/?id=53
I was looking for this article in Asia Times but couldn’t find it. Was it too provocative for their
predisposition toward unquestioned parroting of the US line that Covid19 is of Chinese origin
and badly handled by the wicked CPC? More evidence will now emerge that Covid 19 was
circulation in the US in 2018-2019 masquerading as “common flu” developing into “common
pneumonia”. No big deal. The US CDC failed to detect it because they were “not funded”
to investigate and nobody questioned why the high number of fatalities during the flu season.
The critical point for me was the steady developmental and gain of function research that was funded by the USA at UNC and in Wuhan. Then, there was the ‘Fauci prophecy’ in 2017, that Trump would face something like this pandemic. The ‘Event 201’ also indicated foreknowledge. Fauci’s praise for the ridiculous WHO head and his support from Pence indicate a bipartisan agenda. No honest man who is familiar with the career of this fellow could possibly support him in any capacity…beyond, perhaps, cleaning out the monkey cages at Fort Detrick…. yet, Trump keeps him…as well as the duplicitous Birx. They have ALL played an essential part in the creation of the pandemic, assisted its spread through early failures and left the usual calling card of the intelligence agencies for such attacks–fingers pointed in the press in every conceivable direction assigning blame. As the 1989 law prohibiting gain of function research was violated…trampled and ignored, a grand jury investigation into the crimes of capital murder and crimes against humanity is in order in every jurisdiction in which death or injury occurred…not to mention investigations into the malfeasance and misfeasance of the officials involved. This is a criminal matter…unfortunately, the criminals run the FBI and DOJ. The goal of this crime was to absolve the bankers from responsibility for the collapse of the market and economy; to mandate a deadly vaccine; to justify tracking chips and police state antics. Trump’s double game is pretty much out in the open with his suspension of WHO funding–raw meat for his supporters–while keeping Fauci and Birx to carry on with the Lockdown Scam–the same kind of political reasoning behind his Immigration suspension which wasn’t really much of a suspension and in the noise he made supporting the ending of the lockdown which resulted in Governor Kemp beginning to reopen and Trump telling him it was to soon. This entire thing is a Deep State/NWO ploy to move forward on their agenda…as we hear from Gates and other accomplices–‘We have to have a vaccine to return to normal…’
