Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
61 years ago Walter M. Miller Jr. published A Canticle for Leibowitz. The story spans thousands of years as humans rebuild civilization after a devastating nuclear war. Among the episodes is a conflict between warring nomads and a settled people who rely on cunning instead of arms and introduce hoof and mouth disease into the herds of the nomads. I was reminded of this as I read this account in RT of what appears to be a worsening situation with the coronavirus in China. China’s President Xi Jinping has described the situation as “grave” with the spread of infection accelerating. https://www.rt.com/news/479181-xi-china-coronavirus-win/
Could this be an engineered virus or a weaponized one that got loose from Chinese biolabs?
Could this be biological warfare deliberately unleashed on China to destabilize the government or to leave the country in chaos so that it cannot respond to an attack?
Or is the story just media hype?
Would it be prudent to stop all travel to and from China and to quarantine recent arrivals from China to prevent the spread of something that could be difficult to control?
Globalism, a darling of neoliberals, endangers us all. The possible importation of pandemics is another external cost of the global economy.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

I’d like to say no one is stupid enough to unleash a biological agent thinking it won’t come around and bite them in the ass, but I know military types exist and they’ve shown to be plenty stupid enough to threaten the world with this shit.
Why are there labs to weaponize microbes when unleashing them might kill off humanity? Anyone working on this stuff or authorizing it needs to be killed.
Wouldn’t be so sure (((they))) might have a vaccine for their own personal use
Like the vaccines used on children are ‘safe and effective’?
Again, these morons just might think that some vaccine is going to give (((them))) all immunity.
If this is some military grade stuff that got sent into the wild accidentally or purposely and (((they))) already took a vaccine, I hope all of them get cancer from it.
Bill Gates has sponsored “vaccination programs” in Africa, ostensibly to “save lives”. Along with antibacterial and antiviral agents, his “public service organizations” surreptitiously introduced “birth control” agents as well, without gaining “informed consent” from those receiving the vaccinations.
It makes one wonder whether the black groups who claimed that AIDS was an “engineered virus” were right, all along.
This is an informative article that puts The coronavirus in perspective. Of course the lame stream media doesn’t mention any of these facts. More narrative control methinks…

MORE factual information again and again folks.
I always figured aids were manmade.
The REALITY is in these Three articles by Mr. Reality. Third time post.
We don’t know anything in the US. It could be one of the many viruses that originate in China and spread west by the winds.
For sure I do not trust anything said by the media because the media only spreads fear rather than real informed balanced information.
We just have to wait and see how this virus plays out. I have heard people have survived it. But I have also been reading a lot of activity going on with the chicken little’s saying this is a big thing.
We will see.
Mostly not giving a shit and waiting for a concrete situation that can actually be addressed personally is the only way. Red people did not take to the white man’s diseases. Isolation creates weakness in the long run. The masses don’t care about the long run or anybody else. I don’t hit pause on my life any more. What a waste of my life watching and presuming to tend to the system. It’s BS. Media reports on the decline only rarely and like it’s inconsequential details. Unplugged is the only way.
I suggest that after the disastrous one child only policy leaving them with far too many angry young men, and the recent death of half their pigs (why they are eating bats) the Chinese government, ever the pragmatists, decided to prune the plant.
Let’s shrink our population, they thought, and then there will be enough to redistribute.
You can bet your ass that President Xi is magically immune to the Captain Trips virus.
