Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
China actually reported to the World Health Organization on New Year’s Eve that it was facing a novel coronavirus. It was on January 3rd when U.S. health officials offered assistance to China. They renewed the offer two days later, according to the president’s team.
Nancy Pelosi, while touring Chinatown in San Francisco on Feb. 24, insisted that the risk of infection was low and fears of the virus’ spread were “unwarranted in light of the precautions that are being taken here in the United States.” Now Pelosi says that Trump is responsible for the deaths of Americans because he reacted too slowly, and the president complains that Democrats fiddled or, more accurately, impeached while he was crafting policy in January.
On January 20th it was being called the “Chinese virus” by The New York Times. The coronavirus was less important than the impeachment coverage to try to expel Trump from the White House. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, first raised the matter at a press conference in New York on Jan. 26th. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden wrote an op-ed in USA Today on Jan. 27. He said Trump was the wrong type of person to lead America through a pandemic.
What is terribly clear is that blaming Trump has kept the nation divided unlike any other crisis including 9/11. Converting the virus into a talking point for the 2020 election demonstrates that the Democrats either really do not care about the people, or they are trying to convert the virus into a political weapon of 2020. Either way, this is the FIRST time in history where there has been some national crisis and the politicians failed to rally together.
Even standard modeling of the virus warns that this has been hyped simply for political gain.

Groundbreaking journalism.
Profound.
Sure it’s a political weapon, but what this sage columnist doesn’t realize is Trump grabbed said weapon out of their hands and has turned it against them.
The fact Trump’s major opponent is a senile Democrat doing videos from his home should tell you something. They couldn’t impeach him or manage to hide the financial problems with the banks so the next best opportunity was to help wreck the economy. Look at how many states are extending their lockdowns, who runs them, and how far in debt they are.
If they don’t get Trump, it’s more bailouts, default and war.
TPTB have tried every trick in the books to divide us. The latest “health” crisis has stepped it up to a whole new level. Many of us have lost jobs and friends during the hysteria.
Those who think we will ever go back to “normal” are in for surprises. Now we know the government can destroy our future and the people will eagerly participate. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop will drive some over the edge.
Many of us have tried to continue to live our lives in a normal fashion, but many who have lost their livelihood can’t do that. The saddest thing is most won’t learn a thing from this experience, and will continue to live on live on credit and consumerism. The proof is found at Wal-Mart parking lots.
TPTB released the Chinese flu for a number of reasons one of the main ones is to get Trump out of office and install another democrat puppet president who is more than happy to do their bidding
It all was/is fake political infighting to bring this virus to the forefront. Nowhere in this article does it question the virus itself. Of course not, because that’s not what this article is intended to do. It’s about us good, them bad as usual. The actual point should be that they are all political actors. And they’re all bad actors. The virus is the show. And the show must go on.
