AT the start of the Corona Pandemic, a friend’s WhatsApp of a couple of video clips made me tune in some credible-sounding authors, as I concurrently happened to read Tom Harper’s piece in the China Daily chastening the world to stay away from the virus of blame game which was unleashed by the media after the demonstrated resilience of the Chinese people how to combat the pandemic, the blame-game silenced ever since.
The fact is that contemptuously ignoring China’s progress, and motivated by the desire to deflect from their own incompetence in handling the outbreak in respective countries; the United States and Australia, joined by some in the European Union led the chorus for an inquiry into the outbreak. But the above mentioned video accounts; one of Dick Algire a journalist and the other of Kevin Barrett a scholar; both Americans, attracted my attention as they pointed their accusing finger back home, which reminds me of familiar scenes of assassins themselves leading the funeral of the dead to avoid suspicion. A deep probe indeed is called for, and it is that motivation which encourages me to invite attention of the discerning eye to examine the following accounts which intriguingly, have since been taken off the tube.
“My head is spinning with this one but I’m going to take you down the rabbit hole. Is this the most important report I’ve ever done in 34 years of being a journalist! Might be. I am Dick Allgire and I’ll prove to you that the ‘good guys’ always plan ahead.” Algire’s preponderance starting with Donald Trump signing the Cares Act H.B. 748 in the White House on March 27, 2020, meaning the Coronavirus aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act, allocating US $ 6.2 Trillion to mitigate the sufferings of those affected by the Pandemic; something you would crave to show to your friends and family how much your elected officials love and want to care for you. But Algire leads you to the startling faction the official US Government website congress.gov; that the Bill leading to passing of the Cares Act was actually introduced on 24 January 2019; nearly 11 months prior to the first revelation of the outbreak in Wuhan China which was on 31 December 2019.” Intriguing is it not that the Chinese were so outdated about the emergence of the deadly virus; no wonder they were premeditatedly blamed by the US for delaying sharing of the details of the pandemic, known only to the actual manufacturers of the virus who had been working on the bill in May and July of 2019. How come the Congress introduced a Bill to provide relief for this virus styled as Pandemic nearly a year before it was officially discovered and named? Without pointing an accusing finger, perhaps it is fair to demand an explanation from the White House, because “Could this be a Plandemic?” Appears to be an apt Dick Algire description of the plot. But Kevin Barrett an American author, journalist and radio host with a PHD in Islamic and Arabic Studies goes further into a logical-sounding reasoning.
“With Israel saying that US intelligence warned them in November last about a potentially catastrophic pandemic in Wuhan, apparently other US allies were also warned concurrently. It means US intelligence knew what was happening in China’s Wuhan better than the Chinese did. And the only reason that could be the case would be if the US had itself planted the virus there. Now that sounds like an outrageous hypothesis, but it’s really not if we understand how geopolitics operates and covert operations take place. If we understand the complete lack of normal morality and ethics among people who are in charge of foreign policies, we understand why it is far more probable than not that US intelligence was indeed behind this, although given that the Israelis are pointing their fingers at the Americans, maybe the Israelis were involved too and want to offload some of the blame-who knows!
In any case the US desperately needs to stop the rise of China to number one world power status. To do that it has to slow down Chinese economic growth considerably, which has been in double digits for almost 40 years. The only way to do that would be to torpedo the entire global economy and find a way to try to break the global supply chains so that individual countries would be looking elsewhere rather than to China for their goods through such projects as Belt and Road and so on. If history continues on the trajectory that it was on before the coronavirus, the Chinese are going to rule the world within a decade or two; there’s no question about that. And that is absolutely unacceptable to the American decision makers which is why they had to find some way to strike at China, and this appears to be what they’ve done. The US threatening to divert China’s investment into US treasury to the tune of trillions of dollars as supposed compensation for the virus, is to use this as an excuse to destroy China’s economic leverage, and to attempt to de-globalize the world.
All of this point straight at the usual suspects; the same people who staged 9/11 in order to launch their war on Islamic civilization coining it as the beginning of the clash of civilizations, now realizing that the most threatening to their continued hegemony in the world actually was the Chinese civilization. This is the first strike of World War-3 as the US is preemptively striking China not so much with the virus itself but with the massive publicity and the empirical effect it will have as they can smear China and convince other countries to stop trading with China as they attempt to freeze the world the way it is, where the US still has the vast preponderance of military power;” a presumption, being fast discounted.”
