All through the recent weeks since US President Donald Trump coined the epithet “China virus” to rename Coronavirus, Moscow kept a deafening silence.
Finally, on Sunday, March 29, Moscow broke that silence. That the first Russian statement came at the level of the Russian foreign ministry makes this particularly significant.
In an exclusive remark, a “source in the Russian Foreign Ministry” told the state news agency Tass:
“In order to unambiguously answer the question about the origin, about where the first case emerged, major research needs to be carried out. So, Washington’s accusing tone in comments against China arouses blatant bewilderment.”
The source then went on to touch on the allegation made in China —namely, that a team of American military personnel had visited Wuhan, China, previously before the outbreak. The Russian Foreign Ministry source said:
“As for “US trace” in the COVID-19 outbreak, we don’t have this data today. However, for a long time we have been watching with concerns the US military and biological activity carried out in direct proximity with our borders. In other words, there are indeed questions for the US.”
Now, a few things must be said right at the outset. Any longtime observer of the Russian state system, media culture and Russian diplomacy would know that Tass, which functions under the supervision of the Kremlin is not in the business of lapping up stray remarks by a moonlighting Russian source.
As for Russian diplomats, even the dumbest of them know better than casually chat up a Tass correspondent. And, of course, Tass will never put out as lead story a stray remark of such significance without clearance from a high level, possibly even from the Kremlin.
What it adds up to is that Russia is signalling that it knows something about coronavirus’ parentage that is explosive in its impact on world politics and international security. Russia has highly privileged intelligence sharing arrangements with China. Kremlin is the only interlocutor with which President Xi Jinping’s office maintains an institutionalised system of sharing vital information and coordination.
All these factors come into play while assessing yesterday’s Tass report.
Suffice to say, one plausible explanation for the Tass report today is that Moscow has alerted Trump to something that he may not yet be aware of.
Indeed, no attempt has been made by the US so far to disprove the Chinese allegation. There has been a media cover-up instead. Meanwhile, experts have opined that it is unlikely that coronavirus has been used by anyone as a biological weapon but it cannot be ruled out that during research, the virus might have “escaped”.
Interestingly, the Russian “source” drew a pointed comparison with covert attempts by the US military to indulge in “biological activity” near Russia’s borders as well.
Trump is on record that his “china virus” reference was an instinctive reaction to the Chinese allegation. Trump since added that he has stopped using that expression. In fact, he has more than made up by making a telephone call to Chinese President Xi Jinping to bury the hatchet.
After their conversation on March 27, Trump seemed relieved that Beijing is agreeable to bury the past and to look forward to a future of joint effort to combat coronavirus. Trump tweeted in unusually empathic language, even expressing his “respect” for the Chinese system:
“Just finished a very good conversation with President Xi of China. Discussed in great detail the Corona Virus that is ravaging large parts of our Planet. China has been through much & has developed a strong understanding of the Virus. We are working closely together. Much respect!”
Military medical staff of the People’s Liberation Army arrive at Tianhe International Airport to fight Covid-19 epidemic, Wuhan, Feb. 2, 2020.
The Xinhua carried an unusually detailed report on the conversation which highlighted that a serious discussion took place between Trump and Xi and made it clear that POTUS quizzed Xi closely and held out reassuring words: “Stressing that China’s experience is very illuminating to him, he said he will make personal efforts to ensure that the United States and China can ward off distractions and concentrate on cooperation against COVID-19.”
The references here to “personal efforts” and “distractions” merit particular attention. Has Xi taken Trump into confidence? The Russians have broken their silence within 2 days of the conversation between Trump and Xi.
However, this isn’t the end of the story. The orphan who appeared in Wuhan late last year may be establishing its parentage by reaching the US and creating an apocalyptic situation in New York. The big question will continue to haunt the world community: Was the coronavirus originally conceived in the womb of a Pentagon lab developing biological weapons?

Russia now says it has information to that effect. Was the Pentagon conducting tests of potential biological weapons on the two big powers that the Deep State in America regards as the US’ principal adversaries and existential threats?
Moscow has a way of drawing the White House’s attention to sensitive issues through such modes at a time when the direct communication channels remained hopelessly clogged. Moscow knows fully well from past experiences that the POTUS may not always be kept briefed on the shenanigans of the cold warriors in the US intelligence and defence establishment.
The military-industrial complex and the ‘Deep State’ have been historically a law unto themselves. Remember the farewell speech by President Dwight Eisenhower on 17 January, 1961 when he forewarned the nation to be on guard against the potential influence of the military-industrial complex (a term he is credited with coining). Eisenhower said:
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
Eisenhower was drawing deep into the bitter experience during his presidency that despite his profound military background and being the only general to be elected president in the 20th century, the military-industrial complex torpedoed his efforts to initiate detente with the USSR.
In the wake of the famous U-2 spy plane incident on May 1, 1960 (just days before a summit meeting between Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in Paris), which infuriated the Kremlin, Eisenhower had to abandon a planned Moscow visit in June to flesh out his pet foreign-policy project of detente with the USSR, which the highly decorated World War 2 general had deeply cherished would be his finest presidential legacy.

Political intrigue now with a damned disease?
One of the things frequently mentioned by posters here is normalcy bias. Our group bias might be described as anti-establishment. This group frequently has the real story or close to it long ahead of the pack. We also may subscribe to the old saw of “a stopped clock is right twice a day.” I believe our normalcy bias is blinding many to the idea that THIS is one of the two times when the stopped clock has it right.
I stated yesterday that a very smart guy, my wife’s surgeon who is also a field grade officer, said this shit is real and he is scared. I cautioned we should see where we are in two weeks. If the naysayers are indeed correct, not a lot will change, at least not “quickly.”
If the people in the rare situation of being caught in that normalcy bias they so easily see correctly most of the time are blinded by such a bias, I pray you will reassess. Why? If those we usually debunk do have it right THIS time at the end of my two weeks there will be 50,000 plus dead from this. Don’t be one of them! I enjoy most of you fuqueres and respect your insight. Be safe. Be smart.
H R – I keep vacillating between this being the biggest psy-op ever or it being much more dangerous than they are telling us. It is hard to get a handle on the disease and how dangerous it really is, but I feel confident, it did not come from someone eating a bat at the Wuhan wet market.
I’m with you, let’s let it play out for a couple more weeks to see where we stand. They are currently gaming this and saying TN will have 3,400 deaths with 165/day in 3 weeks and this is with social distancing.
The only things I am missing are my weekly breakfast with my church buddies, going to church and taking the Mrs. out to eat. She really misses shopping with her daughters and eating out.
No more than the regular flu my friend, a flu we happen to have a “vaccine” for. NOT. Do the Maff. People are going to die , it happens every fucking day. Deal with it.
Like everything else connected to COVID-19, you can find something to support anything you want to believe regarding origins. Some guy ate a bat – we know that for sure! The Chinese government created SARS-COV2 in a lab in Wuhan – anybody that disputes that is an idiot. Without any doubt, the Pentagon created the virus at Ft. Detrick, then sent it to China with a military games team. People who aren’t in any position to know anything at all are the ones most sure about what they believe, which oddly enough seems to align with their overall political beliefs.
You forgot to mention one important way of looking at things, which however takes a long historical memory, attention to detail, and a certain wisdom:
Things of a certain magnitude don’t happen by chance. Like the “surprise” attack on Pearl Harbor. Or the assassination of JFK by a “lone gunman.” Or 9/11 by three dozen half-morons commandeered by a guy in a cave, completely “missed” by our IC (intelligence community.)
So how is it a virus that is an almost perfect bio-weapon (note that not all weapons intend to outright kill everybody),
a) creates itself “by pure chance” and
b) randomly appears first in one of the biggest Chinese cities, in the logistical center of their country, and
c) at the height of a US – Chinese “trade” war?
You’re right and I am suspicious. But let’s see what develops over time. I do have tinfoil hat tendencies, but I’d like my suspicions to be based on something other than a knee-jerk reflex.
I’ve been having a good laugh about a story making the rounds about a “leaked intel report” which “proves” the Chinese are “lying” about COVID-19. So, if that’s proof, then the leaked intel about Trump being a Putin puppet must also be true. The Democrats were right all along and Trump should be impeached!!
Right when the globalists desperately NEED a way to cash in on a century of FED-inflated asset bubbles while destroying the futures of everyone on the planet, all with a great cover story…..
That’s the biggie, all right. Awfully convenient.
I thinkmit escaped ft detrick last year and started the vape blame game. I blamed a vape pen last year. Myself and a friend partook of one. He ended up super sick for two weeks. I caught a minor cold that resulted in copd. Kinda matches this virus’ symptoms. Love to be tedted for covid antibodies at this point.
So the copd died down and barely affected me up until about two weeks ago, and its kicking my ass now.
Wife has had the sniffles.
Opinions?
Certainly a possibility that the vaping issue was really this virus. Funny how even that issue just “popped up” despite years of people vaping. I would put nothing past the scum who pull the strings of our government.
This is certainly an interesting theory. I recall people becoming ill with serious lung damage after using a zipperhead counterfeit cartridge only once or twice. We should all revisit this down the road.
Take massive doses of vit-c. 8-20 grams divided into 3 doses and call me in the morning? seriously. Take it until your bowel mvmts are very soft, then back off by 2 grams from there. I’ve been taking 8-10 g for 30 years and have never had a flu. Should I get cov2 I’ll be taking 50-100 g per day; not mg but grams. It will prevent the cytokine storm that does everybody in.
I’ve been vaping for years. organic VG, no PG. My nicotine is your caffeine. i’m good, thank you. Neighbors have fevers, I’m good so far. I thank my magic mushroom spray. And where the fuck is our mark from nc?
And of course the magic mushroom spray and high dose vitamin D (50,000 twice per week)
Stay safe out there my friends.
13,000 people are employed and 400 labs operate all over the world, paid for with the STOLEN TAX DOLLARS of US citizens, all for the purpose of creating humanity-murdering biological weapons. Indeed, the TRUE origin of this virus MUST be ascertained, and those responsible put to death (even if that reaches the top levels of government). But even if it actually came from bats (a highly unlikely scenario), EVERY PERSON must be fired and EVERY LAB must immediately be DESTROYED to stop any man-made virus from ever accidentally or purposely getting out in the future. THAT is the least we should get out of this for all the NEW MONEY they have stolen from us and our futures.
TPTB will have murdered a million people and they must pay for this CV-19 Holocaust.
Will they? NO. They are all sheep that follow the media (sadly).
Anybody who thinks China developed a virus that particularly targets Asians then released it a block from one of their own bio labs probably also believes a handful of 80-IQ saudi nationals with no flight experience flew jet liners into 3 buildings and Oswald shot Kennedy.
