Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
It is difficult to get reliable information about coronavirus. The information difficulty is further complicated by interest groups using the outbreak for their own agendas. For example, many both inside and outside China are using the spread of the virus to criticize the Chinese government. Others, both inside and outside China, claim the virus is a bioweapon unleashed on China by the US. Still others say the global elite has decided to implement a program to reduce the world population and that Bill Gates, one of the global elite, said some months ago that a global pandemic would break out at this time. Some Internet sites attract traffic by posting reports of massive numbers of Chinese deaths and crematoriums running 24/7. The official Chinese story has been that the virus originated in a market that sold wild animal meat. The fact remains that Wuhan, apparently a city larger than any in the US, has been locked down for a month.
Francis Boyle (University of Illinois) is an expert on biowarfare weapon research. He wrote the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 1989, which is the US implementing legislation for the 1972 Bio-Weapons Convention. In interviews (see for example, https://www.activistpost.com/2020/02/us-biowarfare-act-author-studies-confirm-coronavirus-weaponized.html ) Boyle says he has read four scientific studies that confirm beyond doubt that the coronavirus is an engineered bioweapon. The studies show that the virus has elements added to make it easy to spread and elements that reduce the ability of the immune system to resist the virus.
Boyle reports that the bio-engineering work that makes the virus easy to spread was done at the University of North Carolina, and that the work that allows HIV to be added was done in an Australian facility. He shows that Chinese scientists from the Wuhan BSL-4 biowarefare lab were present in both the UNC and Australian labs and participated in the research. The Chinese scientists returned to Wuhan, each with an essential part that enabled the Wuhan lab to produce what we call the coronavirus, the official name of which is CoVid-19.
Boyle says that the virus’ escape was an unintended event, and that such escapes from biowar labs have happened before.
Scientists now say that a person with CoVid-19 can be contagious for 30 days without showing symptons. As the virus can be spread through air and touch and has a 9-day life on surfaces, it can spread far and wide before it shows itself. As the death rate is now estimated to be 15-18 percent, it is a major threat.
In China the escape of the virus coincided with the internal travel associated with the Chinese New Year, thus quickly and widely spreading the contagion. Americans and Europeans have found comfort in the few cases outside of Asia and in reports that only Asians have died from the virus. However, this might only reflect the time delay in the appearance of symptoms. Globalism makes every virus spreadable. The Western World might be in for a shock as it has turned out that the 14-day quarantine period is insufficient. Scientists now say the quarantine has to be 27 or 30 days to be effective in preventing the spread of the virus. Considering the number of exposed people who were released after 14 days, the Western world should be prepared for a large and rapidldy increasing number of infections.
The view that only Asians were infected (the early cases in the West were Chinese people) and that Americans had been thrown out of China for collecting Chinese DNA supported the belief of those who regard the virus as a race-specific biowarfare attack on China. Again, the long incubation period would be the explanation for lack of deaths so far among white races. Considering that Iran has now reported Iranian deaths from the virus, the virus is unlikely to be race-specific.
What can be done? Perhaps very little. Boyle reports that the weaponization of viruses for biowarfare is a felony punishable with life imprisonment. Yet, Boyle says that every country with the capability engages in the work despite its illegality. Boyle says that the National Institute of Health financed the work at the UNC facility. As US, Chinese, and Australian governments are complicit in the felonies, they cannot tell the truth about the situation without implicating themselves. Thus coverup stories such as the claim that the virus came from eating infected bats.
Moreover, few qualified to speak out can. The reason is that so many micro-biologists and virologists are involved in the illegal work. Boyle says the US alone has 13,000 scientists involved in illegal biowarfare work. People do inhumane work because of money.
Boyle is an expert, but one authorities can easily discredit. An active civil libertarian and strong critic of the US government, he opposed the Vietnam War, pointed out Amnesty International’s cooperation with US foreign policy, opposes the sanctions on Iran and Israel’s threatment of Palestinians, supports the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement, and has a number of other positions regarded as controversial. He became persona non grata when he was the first to state that the anthrax in the anthrax letters sent to US senators in the aftermath of 9/11 to stop any independent investigation and opposition to the police state measures that were put into law could only have come from a US government military laboratory, and when he published “Biowarfare and Terrorism,” which exposed the US government’s initiation and expansion of an illegal biological arms buildup. Boyle, the person-to-go-to for the media, found himself banned. Today he is interviewed only on Internet programs and is termed a kook by those who control the narrative.
I have no competence in DNA engineering or bio-weapons. I do know that the four studies on which Boyle bases his position do exist. As far as I can tell, they say what Boyle says they say. I, too, am controversial and, thereby, suspect, not so much for my own positions but for reporting the findings of those who dissent from official explanations, such as Boyle, the 9/11 truth movement, and historians such as David Irving and John Wear. In my lifetime, American education has taken a lot of hits. Americans who are opinionated and censorious of other views think that no one would report, or give a forum to, a view that wasn’t his own. The notion that we don’t know and need a range of opinion in order to have awareness is foreign to them. Thus, every dissenting opinion or controversial finding that I report or give a voice to is ascribed to me.
This makes it almost impossible for dissenting views to get into public discussion. Without public challenges, the controlled explanations prevail.
Nevertheless, there is some hope that the controlled coronavirus narative is running out of steam. The official coronavirus story is being adjusted as it no longer fits the facts. The cover story of the virus originating in a Wuhan seafood market is being abandoned. The Chinese government has approved a change in the narrative ( https://www.zerohedge.com/health/chinese-scientists-find-coronavirus-did-not-originate-wuhan-seafood-market ).
Zerohedge reports a jump in cases in South Korea and Italy:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/coronavirus-deaths-outside-china-spike-who-team-visits-wuhan
Here is a similar report from CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/23/coronavirus-live-updates-chinas-hubei-reports-630-new-cases-96-additional-deaths.html
It is not out of the question that the United States and Europe will soon be experiencing what China is experiencing. If so, there will be much disruption of life. If an outbreak of the virus in America and Europe is only a couple of weeks away, it will be interesting to see if the West handles the challenge any better than the East.

The only coverstory is that Coronavirus itself is a coverstory for whatever big events are coming in March.
The Ides of March.
Other than that PCR articles are “boomer bedtime stories” complete with links to Zerohedge propaganda puff pieces.
You can’t trust anything coming from the WHO. They are a mouthpiece for the elite. If China admitted that this did not originate from a “wet market” then why did the WHO just state this in their update this morning?
“Bat is the host, and pangolin might be one of the ‘intermediate host’ – but research is ongoing.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-live-who-team-delivers-first-report-mission-wuhan
Furthermore, the President just said everything is “under control”. He forgot to say that slavery is freedom. He was reportedly furious about the 14 sick people brought home from the Corona Princess because “it would reflect badly on his administration”. I’m now convinced is he a sociopath.
The information coming out of the CDC is just as much suspect as the information out of China. They admitted that only 3 states are doing any testing, then admitted the tests were faulty. We are on our own.
All outright cover-ups and lies from the WHO, CDC and USA.
100’s of thousands of Chinese Nationals throughout our cities, industries and university’s.
You’d think they are trying to covertly spread this throughout our whole country intentionally before we know what hit us.
The “They” being the WHO and the CDC with the willing stupidity of the USA.
But, MC . . . when BO brought Ebola here in 2014 (I’m sure they are upset that it didn’t “catch”), I think it reflected poorly on his administration, because they DID NOT protect the country FROM it.
I’m sure that Trump has info that we do not, but what I know:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-incubation/coronavirus-incubation-could-be-as-long-as-27-days-chinese-provincial-government-says-idUSKCN20G06W
So repatriating people who have a high probability of infection – into ANY situation wherein there is OBVIOUS lack of preparation – yeah, that’s bad.
Please don’t get me wrong. I don’t think that Trump gives a fu*k about us, but this is a “no-win” situation, IDC who is or is not in charge.
OT but this is the link I posted below re: Costa Mesa, CA, and the RESTRAINING ORDER they have against the fedgov to NOT transfer CV patients into a retirement center in the center of RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS because the same fedgov showed NO transparency:

THEY WANT US DEAD
We are on our own
Truer words were never spoken. The fact is we have very few facts and lots of suppositions and false numbers. Many chose to deny the virus, it’s only the flutypes but the facts are that it’s real, highly contagious and in the worst effects it kills via pneumonia and ARDS, and not just old people or Asians are affected.
I continue to prepare.
I’m trying to assess the risk/benefit of going into town once a week or so to buy fresh vegetables in order to maintain my normal diet, no I’m not a vegan not even close. I could switch to rice, beans, spaghetti, sardines etc. and go for over half a year if I had to but when should I switch to that extreme. I don’t know.
Quackademia is currently waiting for the Government to write the next script for the “authority scientists” to read to the public. Control the narrative, not the problem.
China coronavirus hype straight out of the CDC flu playbook – Jon Rappaport
NOTE: DO NOT believe the New World Order Hype. Think Big Pharma and mandatory injections
In today’s episode of Numbskulls and Deceivers in Medical Science, I ask the question: Are Chinese researchers copying an old CDC scam, or have they independently come up with their own lies which happen to mirror CDC hype?
In my series on the China epidemic (archive here), I’ve pointed out that pneumonia—the key indicator of the “coronavirus”—can be caused by many other factors:
Excerpt:
You see, the CDC has created one overall category that combines both flu and pneumonia deaths. THEY CALL THIS CATEGORY “FLU.” Why do they do this? Why do they deceptively assert the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu? Because they want to sell doctors and the public on the “dangers of the flu.”
Excerpt
So we have two fake hustles, years apart, in the US and China, both based on the deceptive use of pneumonia.
Liars tend to tell the same kinds of lies, over and over. Medical liars often import diseases which have nothing to do with their claims, in order to build up case numbers and pump up threats and fears.
And then sell toxic drugs and vaccines, as solutions.
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/02/24/china-coronavirus-hype-s…
Honeybee.
Yup. It’s all about the vaccines and their strange ingredients.
I must say I don’t have much useful info about Corona and don’t have much of a game plan right now. I can tell you though that the last thing I am going to do is allow myself or my family to be injected with the “vaccine” for the virus… Lots of orange juice, tequila, and oregano oil I guess…

“minutes before there were 2”
it’s the corona virus. it’s mutated into an ai dedicated to suppressing free speech.
Trump takes responsibility for stawk market meteoric rise, this becomes his Achilles heel.
Factions fighting Trump take illegal steps to oust him, these steps fail, so they decide to pull out all the stops and kill 2 birds with 1 stone: the threat of a rising China, the threat of 4 more years of Trump.
nothing happens on this planet by accident, all events are part of a diabolical plan to win complete control over the masses, with a single rules based oligarchy making decisions for a border-less market place.
And China is merely the beta test site for implementing all the societal controls needed for the big brother utopia:
censored web
Facial Rec
Social credit score
cashless society (coming on the heels of a virus that infects bank notes)
Anon.
Exactly. This “Virus” is nowhere near as deadly as the mandatory vaccine they are going to force on us.
This may explain how they plan on implementing mandatory vaccine programs.

Normally I would have linked to the GAO reports but apparently they are all down for the moment.
“504 ERROR. Your request could not be satisfied.”
Indeed.
Farmer.
I assume this is over and above the stash they gathered that caused the shortage under the black Irishman O’bummer.
Here’s what alarms me about these NMGA’s getting strapped. They are all unemployable Mall Cops. AKA Auxiliary Police. Have you ever had the pleasure of watching them show up to an emergency in uniforms that look like they just pulled them out of the dirty clothes bin. It was these very same goons who blocked the roads after a village was flattened and grabbed the kids to sell to the flesh peddlers in Saigon.
Big Red must have given me her super powers. I am having prescient dreams and not liking them: I come home to find government officials have rounded up some people in the neighborhood. I ask and they take me to the Sexy Mulatta who is in handcuffs. I say, why the cuffs? and the dude says it’s so she won’t run. WTF.
EC? are you serious?
Please tell me you are exaggerating.
??????????????????????????????
What is happening, EC?
Hey! I have been worried!!!!
Fleabo, some people hold on to the illusion that race will set them free. When you can clearly see that the rich have been loading up on government scrip. They are getting ready to head for the hills with the loot and the power. The surviving hordes will be converted via inoculations into domestic humanoids, post-human creatures with low intellectual ability. HG Wells was not too far off the mark.
C Dog.
Exactly. “It’s the vaccines to make us stupid, STUPID”.
Flea? Do you see EC’s comment above?
“The city said it was told the 50 people have been diagnosed with the virus and that the federal government and state of California planned to transfer them from Travis Air Force Base in California to the Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/02/22/costa-mesa-granted-federal-restraining-order-prevent-transfer-coronavirus-infected-patients/
But accordinng to ECDC (Europe), as of today, the US only has 35 cases of Covid 19. [ The US CDC has not updated numbers since Friday 2/21/2020 . . .
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html ]
” the United States (35)”
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/geographical-distribution-2019-ncov-cases
So, there’s a restraining order (granted by the judge, btw) that concerns more patients than are recognized by our public health institutions.

Somebody ain’t straight. I.e., (that is, for you numbskulls who ain’t got no language learnin’) . . . WE BEIN’ LIED TO.
So yeah, we are on the brink of something.
BINGO… the United States is withholding information.
This is a British doctor who has been following this outbreak and has some really good videos.
He states we are already in a pandemic.
And yet the planes from China and other affected countries keep landing and the passengers disembark and head out into the Homeland.
Does not compute.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the US is going to lie every bit as much as China. They know this is going world wide and there is no way to stop it. Quarantining is now all for show and is only being done to promote the illusion “they’re” doing the best they can. The approach they are following is hide the truth and delay as long as possible so that the Gov. can prepare for when the population goes into panic.
If you understand that, then everything that’s being done makes sense.
What makes sense to me is that they will milk it to the max as a medical 911 and give us a medical patriot act.
“milk it to the max as a medical 911”
they’re gonna need a bigger virus.
Everything makes sense if you let it…
It only computes if you realize that the government is not your friend, that affirmative action bureaucrats should never be allowed to set policy and, most importantly, the spice must flow.
When the money flow stops then something will be done.
“Coronavirus Could Be on the Verge of Worldwide Breakout”
given all the hype, it should be rampaging in the streets right now. so where is it?
I was implying that they are going to hype it to the max regardless of it’s real threat. Same thing Iv’e been saying for a month. They obvioulsy want it to spread hysteria.
(deleted)
The Hype is only beginning to be ramped up smart ass. The FLU is not cooperating by spreading faster. Apparently in their rush to splice it together, they spliced in a lazy gene. An astute observer might have seen what looks like a slow walk to hysteria sufficient to justify whatever measures they may want to impose.
https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-confirmed-patients-can-transmit-the-coronavirus-without-showing-symptoms
How convenient.
HSF.
Sweet. I think you have the virus, you’re under arrest. I saw another article headline about CDC claims up to some ridiculous % will get it by the end of 2020. Now I see how they’ll fulfill their prophecy.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
I couldn’t help but remember that the Department of Health and Human Services (CDC is one of their sub departments) has been stockpiling guns and ammo for some reason. The GAO has removed all the links to the reports from their website.
Must be making some room in the old hard drive for the new Space Force.
I suppose some of those guns are reserved for Child Protective Agents. It’s getting harder to kidnap kiddies without a gun.
Election coming up. Manufactured crisis. Profit-taking. War president. PATRIOT Act II. Emergency adjustment of SS. Quarantine facilitates house inspections for drugs, guns and gold. Resistance is grounds for arrest. Trump declared permanent chairman of emergency governing body as congress succumbs to covid-19.
EC
Exactly, and that requires a slow walk to hysteria. The shame of it all is we won’t be able to say we told you so because this site will be taken down. Not that I want to gloat over suffering but it would be hard to resist. Of gloaters, I am among the chief’s.

Change your moniker to -“told you so” Fleabaggs
meanwhile I’ll be bookmarking this blog post, along with all the others, and reminding everyone of this six months from now. “hey guys, remember when we were all gonna die?”
heh – remember when the virginia pro-gun protests were gonna get slaughtered in the “kill box”? I’m starting to think some of you guys live for this stuff.
Gman
The word Hype and term milk mean blow something out of proportion, often with ulterior motives.
I never said we’re gonna die etc. I said the govt. never wastes a good crisis, especially when they created the crisis in the first place. Iv’e downplayed the severity of this thing since day one. You apparently don’t get SARC because you missed it several times or you just don’t read comments and just throw out cute statements.
” You apparently don’t get SARC”

Remember that volcano in the Philippines back in December that was going to cause another year without a Summer?
And whatever happened to suicide bombers? I remember when that was more popular than Culture Club, nowadays they’re like hoop skirts and buggy whips.

Patience is a virtue
Geez, must everything happen immediately?
Do you see that, the Black Plague took three years to play out.
“Black Plague took three years to play out”
the black plague was spread by scurrying rats. covid-19 has international air travel.
and high speed internet
“and high speed internet”
actually, that seems to be a MUCH bigger factor. for the hype anyway ….
Scurrying rats, diseased immigrants what’s the difference?
That’s funny.

Serpent and the Rainbow, amairait?
Do you remember that Diamond Princess Cruise ship where the coronavirus quarantine was described to be a disaster?
A quick search yielded the latest reports from last week:
Coronavirus quarantine ends for most on cruise ship in Japan as global deaths top 2,100 – 2-19-2020
So far, two people in their eighties have died.
The Guardian on 2-5-2020 reported the following:
But… according to past news reports:
– The ship was first quarantined (6,000 passengers) on February 4th.
– By Feb 8th it was reported 63 people were ill.
– By Feb 10th 24 Americans were said to be suffering from coronavirus.
– Then, last week, the cruise line itself updated the following on their website: 169 new cases on February 18th and the end of the quarantine and disembark process on February 19th and 20th.
Given the quarantine began 20 days ago – either the incubation process takes longer – or – the death rate is lower than 15-18% as some are now claiming – or – the virus is not as contagious as claimed – or they want the virus to spread – or the reporting is FUBAR?
Regardless, something is off. Because shouldn’t we be hearing more dire news on the Diamond Princess passengers by now?
“So far, two people in their eighties have died.”
typical of a bad flu.
“Because shouldn’t we be hearing more dire news on the Diamond Princess passengers by now?”
were this a real plague, yes, we should be.
That’s in keeping with the newspaper I quoted this past weekend. It advised the same precautions you would take for the flu. That men, people over 80 and immune-compromised were most susceptible.
We could call it the mafia flu, in that no kids have died. Yay!
Doug – “something” is off
“A 70-year-old man in China’s Hubei Province was infected with coronavirus but did not show symptoms until 27 days later”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-incubation/coronavirus-incubation-could-be-as-long-as-27-days-chinese-provincial-government-says-idUSKCN20G06W
AND . . . you can’t have a pandemic if you aren’t testing for it; this flow chart from the CDC shows the restrictions in regards to testing: no more than 1 degree separation from a visit to China.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/2019-nCoV-identify-assess-flowchart-508.pdf
Yep that’s the reason there will be few to no “confirmed cases” simply don’t test for it. It’s just that simple.
What’s the point of testing and confirming that it is the covid-19 when the treatment is no different from the flu or pneumonia? If no tests are done then the statement that there are no confirmed cases will be true.
So far, no cases of COVID-19 in KY,70+ people being monitored for symptoms. Nobody here can afford to go on a cruise or take flights to Asian lands so we are looking good down the road. Derby is in May which will be the only time tourism is heavy, might get some cases then.
