How a Trump media dump mainstreamed Chinese lab coronavirus conspiracy theories
A conspiracy theory about Covid-19 escaping from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology is the Trump administration’s Iraqi WMD. And the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin is playing the role of Judith Miller.
By Max Blumenthal and Ajit Singh
With US deaths from Covid-related complications peaking above 30,000, allies of President Donald Trump are taking their anti-China public relations blitz to new heights of absurdity, hoping to legitimize a conspiracy theory blaming a Chinese biological research lab for engineering the novel coronavirus.
The theory points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the culprit behind the pandemic, either through an accidental leak caused by unsafe research on bat coronaviruses or deliberately, by manufacturing a biological weapon. First deployed in January by the right-wing Washington Times, the conspiracy was dismissed and discredited at the time by journalists and scientists.
With an apparent cue this April from a Trump administration desperate to shift the blame for its feckless coronavirus response, Fox News and the Washington Post have fished the story out of the right-wing’s political wet market and polished it off for public consumption.
Though neither outlet published a single piece of concrete evidence to support their claims, the story has gained traction among even fervently anti-Trump elements of the political establishment........

Human Lab Rats: The U.S.Government's Secret History of Grisly Experiments
“They were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don't recognize them for what they are until it's too late.” — Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar ChildrenI have never known any government to put the best interests of its people first, and this COVID-19 pandemic is no exception.
Now this isn’t intended to be a debate over whether COVID-19 is a legitimate health crisis or a manufactured threat. Such crises can—and are—manipulated by governments in order to expand their powers. As such, it is possible for the virus to be both a genuine menace to public health and a menace to freedom.
Yet we can’t afford to overlook the fact that governments the world over, including the U.S. government, have unleashed untold horrors upon the world in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.
While the U.S. government is currently looking into the possibility that the novel coronavirus spread from a Chinese laboratory rather than a market, the virus could just as easily have been created by the U.S. government or one of its allies.
After all, grisly experiments, barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions have become synonymous with the U.S. government, which has meted out untold horrors against humans and animals alike.
For instance, did you know that the U.S. government has been buying hundreds of dogs and cats from “Asian meat markets” as part of a gruesome experiment into food-borne illnesses?
The cannibalistic experiments involve killing cats and dogs purchased from Colombia, Brazil, Vietnam, China and Ethiopia, and then feeding the dead remains to laboratory kittens, bred in government laboratories for the express purpose of being infected with a disease and then killed.
It gets more gruesome..........

Covid-19 The Fight for a Cure: One Gigantic Western Pharma Rip Off
A few days ago, Dr. Tedros,
the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) repeated
what he said already a few weeks ago, that there are about 20
pharmaceutical laboratories throughout the world that are developing a
vaccine for the novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, also called
2019-nCOV, or SARS-CoV-2. For the layman, it is just a stronger mutation
of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus, that broke out
in 2002 / 2003, also in China. To be sure, a mutation made in a
laboratory. In a US high-security biological warfare laboratory. In
other words, both SARS and COVID-19 – among many other bio-war agents –
were made in the US.
And now, the chaotic western-style race of private corporations for a vaccine wanting to outdo one another, has begun.
Who is first to develop a vaccine?
– It’s a fierce competition to establish a patent, a monopoly – for a
possibly multi trillion-dollar business. Its western neoliberal
capitalism at its very worst – or best, depending on the angle from
where one looks.
There are no
words to describe this chaotic fever for profit over human wellbeing. It
has nothing to do with health, with healing sick and suffering,
possibly dying people. It’s all about money. Hundreds of billions, if
not trillion of profit for the pharmaceutical oligarch and their
associated research laboratories and enterprises. And even more so, if
the WHO-declared “pandemic” (sic) will prompt a forced vaccination
campaign, enhanced by military and police surveillance.
Let’s put COVID-19 in context. As of 23 March 2020 (18:33 GMT), and
according to WHO statistics, reported worldwide cases are 372,572;
deaths 16,313; recovered 101,373 – a death rate of 4.37%. However, these
figures must be considered with caution. In many countries, especially
developing economies, accurate testing may be a problem. Test kits are
often not available, or not reliable. So, may people who go to the
doctor with some flu symptoms are possibly falsely diagnosed as COVID-19
victims, as it serves the publicity hype.
Miscalculations and false reporting may even occur in the United States. Mr. Robert Redfield,
CEO of the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), testified before
Congress that CDC does no longer carry out regular tests, that these
were carried out at State-level and only in extreme cases. See also this
reference form the LA Times of California measures and directives.
By comparison,
the US CDC estimates that in the 2019 / 2020 flu season in the US
alone, some 38 to 54 million people may catch the common flu, and 23,000
to 59,000 may die from it. The vast majority of these deaths will be
elderly people above 70-years of age and many of them with pre-health
conditions and /or pre-existing respiratory problems. This is pretty
much the same disease and death pattern as with COVID-19. Expanding
these common flu figures linearly on a worldwide scale would result in
hundreds of thousands of flu deaths. In the particularly strong
2017-2018 US flu season, an estimated 60,000 people died from the flu in
the US alone. The reader may himself judge whether WHO was justified
declaring COVID-19 a “pandemic” — or whether there may have been – just
perhaps – another agenda behind it?..........

For over twenty years Bill Gates
and his Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) have
been vaccinating foremost children by the millions in remote areas of
poor countries, mostly Africa and Asia. Most of their vaccination
program had disastrous results, causing the very illness (polio, for example in India) and sterilizing young women (Kenya, with modified tetanus vaccines).
Many of the children died. Many of the programs were carried out with
the backing of the WHO and – yes – the UN Agency responsible for the
Protection of Children, UNICEF.
Most of these vaccination campaigns
were implemented without the informed-consent of the children, parents,
guardians or teachers, nor with the informed-consent, or with forged
consent, of the respective government authorities. In the aftermath, The
Gates Foundation was sued by governments around the world, Kenya,
India, the Philippines – and more.
Bill Gates has a strange image of
himself. He sees himself as The Messiah who saves the world through
vaccination – and through population reduction.
Around the time, when the 2010 Rockefeller Report was issued, with its even more infamous “Lock Step” Scenario,
precisely the scenario of which we are living the beginning right now,
Bill Gates talked on a TED show in California, “Innovating to Zero”
about the use of energy.
He used this TED presentation to promote his vaccination programs, literally saying, “If we are doing a real good job vaccinating childen, we can reduce the world population by 10% to 15%”............

Questioning the Virus Thoughtcrime
CENSORSHIP BEGINS
Pssst. You. Yes, you, reader. Are you interested in talking about, things? You know, the kind of things that we’re not allowed to talk about anymore? You know, since, uhhh, ‘The Event’?You are? Great. I mean, you might have noticed things are getting a bit hairy out there. As in, you’re likely to get your head bitten off for daring to suggest things may not be okay with the “new normal”.
In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, it was the state that determined what constituted acceptable speech in keeping society orderly. In 2020, a small cadre of companies in Silicon Valley are now wielding absolute power over what we are permitted to see and say online.
Even before the coronavirus arrived to turn life upside down, social media platforms were under growing pressure to curb the spread of ‘misinformation’. Today, with COVID-19 reaching unprecedented heights, the event has triggered what is now described as an ‘infodemic’.
Digital platforms are now taking more steps to tackle anti-establishment COVID-19 content on their services. In a joint statement, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube have pledged to work together to stop the spread of opposing viewpoints......

China's COVID-19 reporting is truthful Birx and Trump demonstrate Unwittingly
China’s Covid-19 Reporting Is Truthful, Birx and Trump Demonstrate-Unwittingly
At President Trump’s April 18 press briefing on the Covid-19 Pandemic, Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the US response to the outbreak, criticized China’s reports on the Covid-19 data. She did so by showing a chart with data from the following countries. (I have updated the chart with data* from the New York Times of April 19, but the two data sets differ by only a small and negligible amount.)Mortality, Deaths per 100,000 population
Belgium: 49.8
Spain: 43.8
Italy: 39.2
France: 29.4
UK: 24.2
Netherlands: 21.4
USA: 10.9
Iran: 6.3
Germany: 5.2
China: 0.3
Dr. Birx called China’s low number “unrealistic,” saying, “I put China on there so you could see how basically unrealistic this could be.” That was after President Trump pointed at China’s number and interrupted Birx to ask rhetorically, “Excuse me. Does anybody really believe this number? Does anybody really believe this number?” (Transcript here; see minute 37:08 and following.)
The argument that Blix and Trump were making was clear. China’s number was way out of line with the others, lower by more than a factor of 10. Therefore, China’s report was a lie.............
