I Already Proved On April 12 That The New Coronavirus Escaped From A Chinese Lab. Now the U.S. Establishment Is Beginning to Catch Up With Me

 Six weeks ago I posted an essay that proved that the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease originated as a leak from a Chinese research laboratory. [Link below- Footnote 1.] 

First of all, let me say that proof is a bit like beauty, in that it's in the eye of the beholder. Proof is, quite simply, that which convinces someone that something is true. We can see a cop murdering a person on video, yet to cop-lovers and other cops, the video proves no such thing. In mathematics there are agreed rules for proof. No other area has such precise rules, not even the sciences, where there is some subjectivity and interpretation. And in every other area, there are no real rules, because people ignore the basic rules of logic when it suits them, and deny or ignore facts they don't like.

Nevertheless, I made a cogent case, based mainly on the behaviour of Chinese state authorites and those under their control, that this disease-causing virus originated as a leak from the notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology lab in Wuhan, China. You need to read my original essay. To briefly summarize some of the main points:

- When Chinese doctors first spotted signs of the disease, the police threatened them with prison for "spreading rumors," which stopped an incipient medical response.

-The Chinese regime reacts violently to any calls for investigating the origin of the disease. When the Australian government called for an investigation, the Chinese immediately applied punitive tariffs on Australian imports to China.

-The Chinese regime stonewalled the World Health Organization for months on doing an investigation. When they finally allowed a WHO team into Wuhan, it was closely chaperoned and not permitted to actually investigate. Instead they were spoonfed a Chinese "investigation" which dismissed the possibility of a lab leak out of hand and instead suggested frozen food as a disease vector, an absurdity in this case.

Since I last wrote on this, more damning evidence has emerged. Three workers from the notorious Wuhan lab were hospitalized in November 2019, with symptoms of COVID-19, before the first acknowledged cases in China. (The Wall Street Journal reported this, and it was picked up by other media outlets.) And every time the Chinese react with extreme defensiveness and screech outraged rhetoric at suggestions that further (that is, actual and not performative) investigation is called for, that constitutes more evidence that they feel a strong need to hide something. That something is obviously the lab leak.

Furthermore, contrary to the false and pacifying claims by U.S. government bureaucrat Dr. Anthony Fauci and by other Americans with ties to the Wuhan lab, that lab is NOT a highly secure facility. Fauci and others have emitted a smokescreen of reassuring, anodyne, misleading statements all along on that score. The Wuhan lab doesn't operate at top level biosecurity. Leaks are common at such labs. In fact, there are at least 6 prior known escapes of coronaviruses from research labs. Four of these occurred in Beijing, China's capital, and one each in Singapore and Taiwan. [2]

We are also seeing nails put in the coffin of the alibi that the outbreak originated in the "live animal" market in Wuhan. Hundreds of samples were taken from the market. The number of positive coronavirus results? Zero. And the "live animals" sold at the market were reptiles only, which cannot be infected with this virus. Only dead mammal meat was sold there, which cannot infect humans.  [3]

Much of the resistance to accepting the apparent fact of the true origin of the virus stems from the fact that the hated Donald Trump said it. Since the Democrats and the vast constellation of media assets allied with them in an anti-Trump front felt duty-bound to oppose most anything Trump uttered, this inclined them ti dismiss the idea of a Chinese lab leak as a baseless smear. 

But not every single thing Trump says is false, as mindless Democrats and their media allies believe. I despise Trump as much as anyone, but that hasn't caused me to lose my ability to evaluate reality objectively. Trump indeed tells thousands of lies, and some number of falsehoods which he believes (telling which bits of his nonsense he actually believes is not always easy). But even Trump occasionally makes true statements. To think otherwise is irrational.

The dam of denial started to break earlier this year, when U.S. government career medical bureaucrat, former Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said in March that  he believes “the most likely etiology of this pathology in Wuhan was from a laboratory." The pressure increased earlier this month when 18 prominent virologists managed to get Science magazine to publish their letter saying the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan lab deserved study.  (Science, the premiere U.S. science journal, is the publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.) Exercising scientific caution, they won't say it happened until they see biological evidence. The rest of us are free to consider ALL the evidence in drawing a conclusion. As I have shown, the behavior of the Chinese "authorities" is pretty definitive in this regard.

U.S. president Biden just ordered the U.S. "intelligence community" to investigate the source of the outbreak. If the secret police had read my mid-April expose, they'd have a leg up. [4]

The government buraucrat Saint Anthony Fauci (at least that's how much of the media treats him and a large swath of the population regards him- as a saint), supple public relations man/propagandist that he is, has smoothly slinked away from his prior position that the virus DEFINITELY did NOT leak from the Wuhan lab. What he's been saying NOW is for example this stuff: "Because we don't know 100% what the origin is, it's imperative that we look and we do an investigation:" "I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus;” “That possibility [a lab accident in Wuhan] certainly exists, and I am totally in favor of a full investigation of whether that could have happened;” and "no one knows not even I 100% what the origin is including me. That's why we favor further investigation." Not even the Great Fauci knows for sure!

Fauci is a political cat who always lands on his feet. 

Fauci is an extremely successful bureaucrat, having held the same high level position as director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly 40 years. Fauci is the guy who early in the pandemic told people masks were no good and you shouldn't wear them. Asked to explain this later, when he took the diametrically opposite tack, he said "we" were worried about mask shortages for medical personnel. In other words, he'll be dishonest in order to manipulate the public. We are people to be acted upon by this character.

So we should discount what Fauci has to say about this. The only interest in his pronouncements will be watching how he smoothly inches his way over to the most politic position of the moment for him. If and when the U.S. establishment consensus is that yes indeed, the virus was a lab leak, he'll be telling us that he never ruled that out as a possibility (which will be a lie). He's an expert at parsing words so he never admits error or is caught in a blame-worthy position.  He is first and foremost a government bureaucrat, all of whose public pronouncements are designed to manipulate the public, to cause a political or social effect. [5]

But Fauci's newfound openness to at least investigating the possibility of a lab leak in Wuhan has inadvertently provided more confirmation that that's exactly what happened. Chinese state media are now calling Fauci "morally degenerate." (No gratitude for the year Fauci spent deflecting suspicion away from them!) 

If the lab was blameless, the Chinese would WELCOME an investigation to exonerate the lab and themselves! Instead they go ballistic at the mere suggestion of looking into the matter.. You know what that proves?

Guilty as charged.

A year ago, Fauci got the usual glorifying treatment in this National Geographic puff piece from May 4, 2020. Notice the straw man argument headline: "No scientific evidence the coronavirus was MADE in a Chinese lab." The issue isn't whether it was man-made. The issue is a leak of the virus into the environment. "Proving" the virus was not artificially engineered was speciously used to assert the disease outbreak did not come from the lab. Which of course is sophistry. What research labs study is organisms from nature.

Fauci Knows Best! Just Put Your Faith In Him.

In 2002 a coronavirus caused the disease SARS. In 2011 another such virus caused MERS. Many times more cases of illness, and of death, have been caused by COVID-19 than by either of those two earlier coronavirus-caused diseases.

But the units of the massive U.S. police state assigned to torment domestic dissidents are the most secretive and highly compartmentalized part of the repressive apparatus. So it is unlikely they would communicate with those assigned to the task of investigating the Wuhan outbreak. Plus their hatred of me would disincline them from seeing any value in my insights.

Career corporate propagandist Katie Courie presented the "award." Fauci spoke thus at the ceremony: "Always speak truth to power." Thus the spectacle of a career government bureaucrat osing as a brave dissident! Hey asshole, if you meant it, you'd call on Biden to stop persecuting Julian Assange and issuea presidential pardon to protect him! What an obnoxious phony!

Strong Evidence The Novel Coronavirus Originated In A Chinese Lab. Here's The Evidence

  Think back to what happened when the new coronavirus disease (now dubbed COVID-19) was first noticed by doctors in Wuhan, China. This is never mentioned anymore, but it should be, because it is highly significant.

A few doctors noticed new, unusual illnesses in patients and began communicating about it to each other. The police hauled them in and threatened them with prison for "spreading rumors," telling them in no uncertain terms to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Why would a government feel threatened by doctors alerting each other to cases of a new illness?

The "explanation" that the U.S. media peddled at the time, apparently taking their lead from Chinese propaganda, was that the Wuhan bosses feared looking bad to their superiors in Beijing. That "explanation" makes zero sense, if you spend about 10 seconds thinking about it.

The local goons constituting "authority" in Wuhan were afraid of making a bad impression on their superiors if they acted quickly to deal with a disease outbreak.

Whereas they would look GOOD if they forced the doctors to keep quiet, not alert the medical community, take NO steps to deal with the disease, and allow it to spread. Right. Got it.

That is some of the purest BULLSHIT there is.

The behavior of the Wuhan "authorities" (political power bosses) ONLY makes sense if they were COVERING UP A STATE CRIME. Their behavior is how rulers behave when they are hiding criminality, malfeasance, or culpability by the state. We've seen the pattern hundreds of times all over the world, including often in the U.S., where whistleblowers are routinely raided by the FBI, indicted, and imprisoned.

This is prima facie evidence that the state was guilty of causing the outbreak.

More evidence: Chinese stonewalling on allowing outside investigations. In fact, after Australia called for such an investigation, the Chinese regime punished Australia by imposing stiff import tariffs on important Australian products. The regime reacts with fury if anyone even MENTIONS doing a real investigation.

 Sounds like someone has something to hide, now doesn't it?

That something was an experiment with a virus that went badly awry. It could have been a non-military experiment, or part of bioweaponry research.

U.S. medical bureaucrat Anthony Fauci has put up a smokescreen of reassuring rhetoric to absolve the Chinese of this possibility. This is the same guy who early on in the pandemic told Americans not to wear face masks. This was terrible MEDICAL advice, and he KNEW it at the time. 

But Fauci wasn't acting as a physician when he discouraged Americans from wearing face masks to protect themselves, even though he pretended he was. He was acting as a government medical bureaucrat. It later emerged that his motive was to prevent a run on masks that might lead to shortages of masks for medical personnel. Fauci and the bureaucracy decided that the public needed to be tricked in order to place a higher priority on medical staff. Later, when confronted with the contradiction between this early "medical advice" and the subsequent incessant exhortations to mask up, Fauci spoke as if it was other people who said don't wear masks.

This wasn't the only dishonesty by Fauci. As problems have emerged with the Johnson & Johnson and Astra-Zeneca vaccines, including fatal blood clots in young women from the latter vaccine, Fauci has papered over the facts with assertions that the vaccines are safe and people should take them. The entire U.S. propaganda system has toed this line. (Johnson & Johnson gave thousands of people cancer by selling talcum powder contaminated with asbestos, doing this for years in utter contempt of its customers. Not exactly a trustworthy company. If you want to trust their vaccine data, go ahead, you trusting soul you.)

Meanwhile the Chinese rulers stubbornly stick to their coverup. After months of stalling and stonewalling, the Chinese regime finally allowed a team of "investigators" from the World Health Organization (a UN agency virtually under Chinese control since Trump pulled the U.S. out of it, one of the numerous destructive acts this pathological liar and narcissist committed in four years as president of the U.S., culminating in his failed coup attempt of January 6, 2021). This UN team was held on a short leash by the Chinese, controlling all their movements, and spoon fed them data. The W.H.O. dupes did no real investigating. They went to the market that we are supposed to believe the outbreak originated from, and talked to people there. What possible use this could be, a year later, is unexplained. W.H.O. then told the world that the virus probably didn't originate in a Chinese laboratory.

But there IS another plausible explanation for the behavior of the Wuhan apparatchiks over a year ago. Maybe they were afraid of presenting rising disease statistics to their superiors in the tyrannical hierarchy. Maybe they feared being condemned for poor performance over something beyond their control. Maybe they thought they could hide a budding epidemic if they just didn't report it.

 Now, I don't know, perhaps the party apparatchiks running Wuhan were really that stupid. It's possible. People operating within a rigid totalitarian system are often forced to behave in irrational ways  that are incredibly dumb. So it can't be ruled out entirely.

I just got some insight into how crazy-making the Chinese totalitarian system is, and how the apparatchiks and enforcers within that system have virtually no room for independent judgment and action from an article in The New Yorker magazine detailing the experience of a Kazakh woman, loyal to China, who was sucked into the "reeducation" system in China for no reason at all. It provides a very detailed look at the remorseless system of Chinese oppression of human beings from the inside, and how irrational that system can be.  [1]

China is run by a one-party dictatorship that imprisons lawyers who represent citizens who sue officials who rob them, that disappears workers who complain about conditions of work into a vast gulag of brainwashing prisons. Anyone who dares speak out is guilty of the "crime" of "picking quarrels and causing trouble." This is not a trustworthy state. [2]

In any event, the dictatorship is still working assiduously to keep their coronavirus dirt hidden under the rug of propaganda and lies. And now the Chinese regime is making hay by spreading its vaccine around the world, scoring Goodwill points. Only thing is, it's a crappy vaccine. Latest statistics from Brazil, for example, show it having an efficacy rate of 50.4%, just barely acceptable.

But not to worry. Chinese officials and their propagandists and stooges will lie about that, and the Good Dr. Fauci will manage to put a positive spin on that too. He just LOVES the vaccines, ALL of them!

P.S. I myself have received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

TWO MEN YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST:

Xi Jinping, Dictator of China: "I applaud myself for excellent job of manipulating and fooling you!"

Dr. Anthony Fauci: "You should understand that we lie to you for your own good."

1] "Surviving The Crackdown In Xinjiang ," The New Yorker, April 5, 2021.

2]  See for instance, "China Detains Delivery Worker Who Tried To Improve Working Conditions," NPR radio network, April 12, 2021, among countless examples of ubiquitous oppression in China. Actually "the authorities" didn't "detain" him, they disappeared him into their vast prison gulag. His crime was the all-purpose "spreading rumors and making trouble." That's a beef good for a five year prison stretch.

Reality Finally Forces Trump To Bend To Its Will

Donald Trump has lived in a solipsistic bubble of his own creation, a narcissistic virtual reality, most of his life. He even denies science, the hardest of hard truths, reality at its most certain, when it comes to global warming.

But apparently his "genius" mind has met its match in medical science, epidemiology, and the modeling of disease spread. (Climate change models are just bunk, however, according to Republicans.)

Trump spent the first few months of the coronavirus pandemic spewing fatuous guff claiming everything was fine and he and his bureaucratic lackeys and sycophants were doing a great job, as always. He announced that all would be well by Easter (early April) and the economy would get back to normal.

"Everything looks sunny to ME! 

But apparently the data- the numbers- wore him down. Trump in his career as a real estate hustler, bank and investor defrauder, and overall scammer and grifter, has needed to be able to grasp numbers to pull off his con jobs. So numbers he understands.

And the numbers on the spread of coronavirus, and the piling up of dead bodies, are grim and set to get much grimmer, Possibly much, much grimmer. This has caused a noticeable change in Trump's tone during his press performances. He's had to admit that things are actually bad, and set to get worse. He was forced to alter his Back-To-Normal timetable to the end of April. (Still far too optimistic.)

  

"Reality- what a bummer! What did I do to deserve this?"

Even though he brays that he's the World's Greatest Expert on just about everything (rather like his North Korean counterpart, with whom he has had an on again off again bromance with), he's not too proud to turn to experts to advise him on what to do. Amazingly, some of these experts, like Fauci and Birx, medical professionals, have even been allowed to speak at length during Trump's press appearances. The fact that he is willing to risk being upstaged is perhaps a sign of his desperation. 

Two of the main props on which Trump was basing his reelection- the raging bull stock market and the "good" economy, have now both come crashing down big time. We hardly ever hear about The Wall anymore- maybe Trump felt he'd worn out that shtick- and he never did lock up Hillary Clinton (who actually deserves to be executed for her crimes against humanity, forget about hiding the email record of her activities as Barack "The Drone Assassin" Obama's Secretary of State in a private, secret computer server- so what does Trump have to run on? His mediocre performance dealing with the covid-19 pandemic. (The disease caused by the coronavirus- an acronym for coronavirus 2019.)\

What has totally absorbed not just the media's attention, but the populace's too- as already about a third are forced to stay at home deprived of income-- is this menacing microorganism that is relentlessly spreading disease and death to an mushrooming number of people. And Trump is ill-equipped personally to rise to the occasion. (Contrast his performance with those of New York State governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, neither of whom I have any use for otherwise, but they're doing the job, providing leadership both in action and in addressing the public daily.)

"OH GOD NO DON'T LET THIS VIRUS COST ME MY REELECTION!!"

 

But the odds are that Trump will win regardless. Joe Biden is a horrible politicians and a fatally vulnerable candidate. And amazingly, in polls, the majority approve of the job he's doing in the pandemic!! Even though, for just one example, he's currently hoarding 10,000 ventilators, necessary to try and save the lives of critically ill patients, even though Cuomo and de Blasio have been publicly pleading for weeks for more ventilators, and 3,000 are needed in New York City next week. When questioned about the hoarded ventilators by a reporter, Trump responded that he need to have "flexibility" as to where to send them. (Translation: screw states that aren't voting for him.)

How could anyone be impressed by the job this lifelong grifter and ripoff artist is handling this crisis? The hopelessness of changing the U.S. for the better ultimately lies in the fact that a majority are cretins and many of those are racists and reactionaries.
