Using more recent data from China of
the coronavirus’ infection and death rates than the Indian scientists had,
“Moon of Alabama” concludes that the “pandemic” has reached its peak and will
be over within a month.
If
so, then Jon Rappoport was correct in the beginning that coronavirus was just
another big scare hype.
Let’s
hope that this is the case and that the coronavirus is a far less threat than
ordinary flu. Nevertheless, such a happy outcome still leaves us with a lot of
puzzling questions. Here are a few of them:
1. Why such an enormous
effort by the Chinese government using draconian quarantine measures affecting
millions of people and multi-country halts of travel to and from China over a
threat far less serious than ordinary flu?
2. Why is there a rush
to develop a vaccine?
3. Why the expert
predictions of a worldwide pandemic?
4. Why did the virus
originate in a Chinese city known to have labs for the study of dangerous
viruses?
5. Why do the scare
viruses originate in China—SARS, swine flu, bird flue, coronavirus?
6. Why did the team of
scientists in India find elements of HIV in the coronavirus genome that is
believed to raise the infectious potential, a finding, if correct, implies the
engineering of a bioterror weapon?
The
scientists might be wrong, but they are not presenting a conspiracy theory. They published their paper provisionally in
order to get input from other scientists. I have no
idea whether their findings will be validated, and whatever we are told, we
might never know. If the virus proves to be bioengineered, the Chinese
government will know whether something they did escaped. If
they are not responsible for the virus, they will perceive an attack on them by
the US. This type of information would confirm Chinese
suspicions:
“Research
conducted by the Pentagon, and DARPA specifically, has continually raised
concerns, not just in the field of bioweapons and biotechnology, but also in
the fields of nanotechnology, robotics and several others. DARPA, for instance,
has been developing a series of unsettling research projects that ranges from
microchips that can create and delete memories from the human brain to voting
machine software that is rife with problems.
“Now,
as fear regarding the current coronavirus outbreak begins to peak, companies
with direct ties to DARPA have been tasked with developing its vaccine, the
long-term human and environmental impacts of which are unknown and will remain
unknown by the time the vaccine is expected to go to market in a few weeks
time.
“Furthermore,
DARPA and the Pentagon’s past history with bioweapons and their more recent
experiments on genetic alteration and extinction technologies as well as bats
and coronaviruses in proximity to China have been largely left out of the
narrative, despite the information being publicly available. Also left out of
the media narrative have been the direct ties of both the USAMRIID and
DARPA-partnered Duke University to the city of Wuhan, including its Institute
of Medical Virology.
“Though
much about the origins of the coronavirus outbreak remains unknown, the U.S.
military’s ties to the aforementioned research studies and research
institutions are worth detailing as such research — while justified in the name
of “national security” — has the frightening potential to result in unintended,
yet world-altering consequences. The lack of transparency about this research,
such as DARPA’s decision to classify its controversial genetic extinction
research and the technology’s use as a weapon of war, compounds these concerns.
While it is important to avoid reckless speculation as much as possible, it is
the opinion of this author that the information in this report is in the public
interest and that readers should use this information to reach their own
conclusions about the topics discussed herein.”
If
the Indian scientists’ findings are correct, we should expect them to be
shouted down by government supported scientists. To save
their careers, they would have to acknowledge a mistake in their research. If the virus were a US manufactured one, China
would have the same incentive to coverup the fact as Washington, because
otherwise the consequence would be war, for which China is not ready.
There
are other concerns. For example, concurrent
with the announcement of the new virus there were accusations that the Chinese
virus lab was responsible for the pandemic threat and might even have released
it purposely on its own population. Moon of Alabama is correct to call this a
conspiracy theory. It is a conspiracy theory
to discredit the Chinese government with the Chinese population and the rest of
the world. The Chinese government has no interest in
harming the Chinese economy and discrediting itself with a population that it
is trying to rule without a harsh hand, but Washington has an interest in
ruining the Chinese.
I
think it is a good thing that the question whether coronavirus is an engineered
virus came up. There are a number of secret high security labs around the world
doing scary things. As Whitney Webb writes,
“The lack of transparency about this research, such as DARPA’s decision to
classify its controversial genetic extinction research and the technology’s use
as a weapon of war, compounds these concerns.” There is a treaty—or
was as Washington might have pulled out of it like it has the arms control
agreements with the Russians—that supposedly prevents countries from making
bioweapons. However, whether they are making the weapons or
not, they are doing research that could quickly be weaponized.
Perhaps
it would be a good thing if there were a worldwide public discussion whether
the benefit of the research is greater than the risk of a deadly pandemic. The lack of transparency makes mischief
possible. Remember the anthrax letters in the wake of
9/11 that turned out to contain a version of anthrax available only in a US
government lab. To cover this up, the letters were blamed on a
dead man who had no motive to send the letters and no access to the anthrax. Something as dangerous as bioengineered
pathogens require plenty of transparency.
There
is no reason scientists should be permitted to investigate whatever they want. Think for a minute, what is the good of nuclear
weapons? Perhaps if Earth were invaded by hightech
Aliens, thermonuclear weapons could be a defense. Perhaps if
an astroid is on collision course with Earth, nuclear missiles could shatter it
into small pieces that would burn up in the atmosphere or into smaller pieces
that would do less damage. What else are nuclear
weapons good for but to bring us Armageddon?
A
lot of thought is needed also about robotics and artificial intelligence. Robots such as those that can withstand deep
underwater pressures and radiation are useful. But robots
that displace people can leave humans unemployed and without purpose. And do we really want machines as smart or
smarter than humans or weaponized?
The
challenges of these technologies can be very interesting to scientists, but the
unintended and ignored consequences can be horrific.
An
obvious question is: If people with white skin
cannot use certain words or long-established expressions, cannot read, study,
or teach certain subjects that some believe are offensive, and cannot organize
or segregate themselves as others are permitted to do, why can scientists and
governments study and manufacture things that could terminate life itself? This makes no sense. If we do not
begin to make better sense soon, conspiracy theories are going to become very
real.
We
cannot rely on the ethics and morality of governments. They have
neither. Consider the US and its European vassals. For 20 years they have bombed, invaded,
murdered, and ravaged seven countries, destroying them in whole or part, all on
the basis of transparent lies. And nothing
is done about it. Indeed, the murderous process continues.
Based
on these transparent lies, President George W. Bush violated the US
Constitution and held indefinitely American citizens on suspicion alone, and
President Obama violated due process by executing US citizens on suspicion
alone.
Neither
were impeached. Congress, the judiciary, and the public
accepted this shredding of the US Constitution and stepped into a police state. When there is no honest media to protect the
people, government transparency becomes even more critical.
Since 2009, the US government has
overthrown governments in Honduras, Ukraine, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina,
reversed the reform process in Ecuador, temporarily overthrew Chevez in
Venezuela and continues to try to overthrow his successor Maduro. Cuba, North
Korea, Syria, Iran, Russia, and China remain on Washington’s list of countries
to be overthrown.
This extraordinary arrogance is easily
capable of using a false flag engineered pathogen to produce termoil within a
country that collapses a government. For this
reason, the transparency of research is of the upmost importance.
