China

Update: New York Times tried to resurrect the Chinese CoronaVirus scam in time for Easter. But former NYTimes reporter Alex Berenson squashed them like a bug at a wet market and ate them for lunch:

The purpose of the NYTimes story based on leaks from HHS and DHS was to stop any reopening of America. The report “suggested, should the mitigation measures relax, the outbreak would be worse than before.” Liars figure, figures lie.

————————————————————

The “experts” needed CoronaVirus. World governments needed CoronaVirus. Lots of “it’s the end of the world” hysterics craved CoronaVirus. Fools wanted CoronaVirus. Big Media demanded CoronaVirus. Trump haters insisted on CoronaVirus. Wall Street desired CoronaVirus. Obama scam artists relived their Obama scam via CoronaVirus. Like all scams many interests for many reasons worshiped at the altar of CoronaVirus. Empty lives made CoronaVirus their god. CoronaVirus however is the Emperor without clothes and many now see the naked ugliness of why CoronaVirus became the scam it is.

CoronaVirus has been a scam from the very beginning. China scammed us all by lying about the CoronaVirus. The World Health Organization continued the scam by protecting China. Then the flowering of CoronaVirus hit the entire world and the scam flourished. For those that doubt we have been right all along about the CoronaVirus scam we give you an “expert” that confirms much of what we have written:

We mocked the lies, damned lies, and statistics way back when and now more and more see the damned lies from the statistics for what they are:

Yesterday, Dr. Deborah Birx finally let the secret out during the daily press conference in response to a reporter’s question. “I think in this country, we’ve taken a very liberal approach to mortality,” said Dr. Birx, who along with Dr. Anthony Fauci has become the face of this push for a national lockdown.

“There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.”

“The intent is if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death,” concluded Birx.

So you have asymptomatic CoronaVirus and you get hit by a car the liar statistics declare you died from CoronaVirus. Paging President Eisenhower and his addendum warning against the “military industrial complex”. “Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”

The CoronaVirus scam is laid bare:

The CDC Confesses to Lying About COVID-19 Death Numbers

Can any government statistics on COVID-19 deaths be trusted?

It is an open question now that we are learning that the highly respected, world-class Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been lying to us. [snip]

The normal rules about reporting deaths have been violated by that city in the rush to inflate the body count, presumably to steer more taxpayer money to the Big Apple.

That the CDC isn’t telling the truth to Americans is no conspiracy theory:  it’s right out there in the open for everyone to see.  The CDC openly admits that it is fudging the COVID-19 death figures.

We know this because, among other truth-tellers, a plainspoken small-town physician from Kalispell, Montana, has pulled back the curtain.

Dr. Annie Bukacek, MD, explained in a presentation how death certificates are made.  (See “Montana physician Dr. Annie Bukacek discusses how COVID-19 death certificates are being manipulated,” YouTube, April 6). [snip]

The CDC counts both true COVID-19 cases and speculative guesses of COVID-19 the same.  They call it death by COVID-19.  They automatically overestimate the real death numbers, by their own admission. 

The numbers are lies. “Garbage in, Garbage out”, used to be an axiom in the computer programming world. Today it is Garbage out because Garbage in. Someone we thought we would never cite positively, had some smart things to say which comport with our analysis about how Chinese CoronaVirus is a rather cheap imitation of a pandemic:

This morning they revised their number of projected deaths to 60,000. That is a reduction of 90% from the 2.2 million number. But what else? Does the number 60,000 — 60,000 deaths — does that resonate with any of you? Does the number 60,000 mean anything to you?

Well, let me tell you what it is: 60,000 is the number of deaths due to the flu every year in this country. It’s between 30,000 and 60,000. So the very projections from the modelers who have given us our current circumstances, including the lockdown have now reduced their original projection of 2.2 million down to 60,000. That’s a reduction of 90%. Do you realize how worthless a model is you can input different data and get that wide a variance? [snip]

In fact, ladies and gentlemen, that 60,000 flu death number was 80,000 in 2018. [snip]

Remember, these are the doomsayers. They never lose. They are never wrong. They can always claim that what they “doom-said” is the reason we’ve had success. It’s the nature of doomsayers. [snip]

Dr. Birx said it. It’s a key word here. “If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting it as a COVID-19 death.” “With COVID-19” does not mean the same thing as “because of.” If you have coronary heart failure, if you have a heart attack, if you have renal failure, kidney failure, and you also have — if they find that you’ve got — COVID-19, to heck with your heart disease, to heck with your kidney disease, they’re chalking it up as a COVID-19 death.

So it may well be that the number of COVID-19 deaths isn’t as high as we’re being told. But it’s obvious there are people who want it to be reported as high because they think that’ll help them with their mitigation efforts, keeping people sequestered and socially distanced and all of that. [snip]

“According to the most recent data from the [CDC], almost two-thirds (65.6%) of the people who have died after testing positive for coronavirus have been confirmed to have one of those specified underlying conditions,” diabetes, heart disease, obesity, kidney problems, liver problems, “while just 1.9% of the people who died after testing positive were confirmed to have ‘no underlying conditions.’”

Only 1.9% of the people that died in New York City were confirmed to have no underlying conditions. That’s huge! So people that have these underlying conditions obviously need to stay home. But we’re getting to the point, I would think, where we could begin to think about turning the rest of us loose — people that don’t have any underlying health conditions. [snip]

Pneumonia. Pneumonia deaths are way down. And that’s one of the things this virus supposedly replicates. It affects lungs like pneumonia. You know, pneumonia is a lung infection. A lot of people think pneumonia is fluid in the lungs. It’s not true. It’s an infection of the lungs. And the coronavirus causes something similar.

But the death rates for pneumonia are way down ’cause everything is being chalked up to COVID-19. They want the number of deaths up there. That’s the only way they can justify what the hell limits they’re putting on everybody here.

As the year began, Big Media did not think much of Chinese CoronaVirus. Big Media wanted to protect China. Obama Dimocrats like Nancy Pelousy and New York City officials insisted Chinese CoronaVirus was nothing and that citizens of America should go to various Chinatown neighborhoods to prove they were not racist. Then… the calculations changed.

As Big Media and assorted NeverTrump RINOs alongside Obama Dimocrats began to see the amazing Trump economic miracle begin to get hurt they calculated that a destruction of the American economy would surely stop the reelection of President Trump. So these creeps aligned to proclaim that CoronaVirus was a mortal threat to the world, indeed the end of the world, and that President Trump was the one responsible for the viral outbreak world-wide.

Unfortunately for them, the tricks that would have worked against boobs like Jeb Bush or his brother did not work against smart and courageous President Trump. If anything the polling everywhere in every demographic indicated that massive majorities agreed with President Trump that China was to blame for all the damage done to the world economies and health. Even more, Americans are waking up to the rest of the dangers candidate and President Trump spoke about:

What is the American status quo? It is the nation and its perceived global mission crafted after the end of the Cold War by America’s newly emergent meritocratic elite. In international relations, the fundamental tenets of this vision were the intrinsic virtue of America’s “benign” hegemony, globalism, free trade, a commitment to spreading democracy around the world, and an abiding faith in the country’s ability to salve the hurts and wounds of humanity. 

In domestic terms, the status quo has been characterized by relatively porous borders, the financialization of the U.S. economy, deindustrialization, anti-nationalism, a liberal political hegemony on social and cultural issues enforced through political correctness, and an oligarchy of bigness–Wall Street’s big finance, Washington’s big government, big corporations throughout the country, big labor representing increasingly well-off public employees, and self-aggrandizing state and local governments.  

This status quo is facing increasing hostility from vast numbers of ordinary Americans who feel that the elites and the big institutions they dominale have hijacked the American system for their own exploitation. [snip]

This knot of political hostility stems from the perceived follies perpetrated over the last half-century or so by the meritocratic elite–endless Middle East wars without victory or even much of a point; immigration laxity to the point of serious assimilation challenges; the outsourcing of our industrial capacity to the point where other nations, particularly China, control the distribution of goods and products that are crucial to U.S. military preparedness and citizen safety and health; a student-debt crisis that thwarts upward mobility of the nation’s young; a spree of fiscal irresponsibility that saddles cities and states with irrepressible pension debt while leaving untended massive infrastructure imperatives; and financial disruption throughout Middle America stemming from the hollowing out of the country’s industrial base. 

The central reality of American politics today is the gulf between, on one hand, the nation’s elites and their primary constituency groups (minorities, academics, government employees, and well-off urban/suburbanites) and, on the other hand, that 55 percent of the electorate characterized by Walter Russell Mead as being motivated primarily by an abiding hostility to what Mead calls “the self-proclaimed expert class.” 

This is an inherently unstable political environment. As Mead points out, “Populism arises when establishment leadership fails.”  

The totalitarian left thought CoronaVirus was the key to stop the reelection of President Trump. Then as President Trump proved his capacity for leadership, second thoughts of desperation seeped through. At the leftist Atlantic there is mourning in such articles as The Coronavirus Killed the Revolution. The argument there is that the proposed massive structural change of the left has been supplanted by a desire for “stability” and “normalcy”. More important however was the shocking publication in the leftist Atlantic of Consider the Possibility That Trump Is Right About China – Critics are letting their disdain for the president blind them to geopolitical realities.

Amid a global pandemic, he’s being accused—on this site and elsewhere—of alienating allies, undercutting multinational cooperation, and causing America to fight the coronavirus alone.

And yet even as the current emergency has proved him right in fundamental ways—about China specifically and foreign policy more generally—many respectable people in the United States are letting their disdain for the president blind them to what is really going on in the world. Far from discrediting Trump’s point of view, the COVID-19 crisis reveals what his strategy asserted: that the world is a competitive arena in which great power rivals like China seek advantage, that the state remains the irreplaceable agent of international power and effective action, that international institutions have limited capacity to transform the behavior and preferences of states.

China, America’s most powerful rival, has played a particularly harmful role in the current crisis, which began on its soil. [snip] “They didn’t tell us the truth,” one team member said of the local authorities, “and from what we now know of the real situation then, they were lying” to us.   

Now China’s propagandists are competing to create a narrative that obscures the origins of the crisis and that blames the United States for the virus. This irresponsible behavior and lack of transparency revealed what Trump’s National Security Strategy had identified early on: that “contrary to our hopes, China expanded its power at the expense of others.” Instead of becoming a “responsible stakeholder”—a term George W. Bush’s administration used to describe the role it hoped Beijing would play following China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001—the Chinese Communist Party used the advantages of WTO membership to advance a political and economic system at odds with America’s free and open society.

But at some point, an American administration needed to shift the conversation away from hopes for an imagined future China to the realities of the Communist Party’s conduct—which is hardly a secret. [snip]

Trump’s emphasis on protecting U.S. sovereignty brought to a boil a simmering national debate about the overlooked costs of globalization. A blind adherence to what the economist Dani Rodrik has called “hyper-globalization”—the idea that the interests of big corporations and the principle of market integration took precedence over widely shared prosperity and economic security—had come at the expense of domestic industries. For years, people who complained about these consequences were dismissed as isolationists or as being on “the wrong side of history.” [snip]

Many of President Trump’s critics in the foreign-policy community put great stock in the ability of multilateral and international organizations to constrain the misbehavior of China and other states. These organizations, at their best, promote concerted action against commonly recognized problems. But Trump’s critics tend to view them mainly in their idealized form and as the central instruments to solve global problems and advance values shared by all. In practice, though, how international organizations perform is profoundly influenced by power relationships among member states.

China’s leaders have become quite skillful at using these bodies to pursue their own interests. [snip]

The Trump administration’s National Security Strategy challenged the assumption that international organizations are always driven by a common global good.

It is stunning to realize that Atlantic readers got to see such an article which demolishes their most cherished preconceptions of globalism.

President Trump was elected to “Drain The Swamp” domestically. CoronaVirus has revealed the intricate connections of The Swamp internationally.

The totalitarian left globalists tell us to “trust the experts”. Anyone who does not “trust the experts” is deemed a hillbilly to be mocked. But it is “the experts” such as Fauci who deserve the scorn.

The ObamaCare architects are demanding the United States remain shut down for at least 18 months or until a vaccine is found. They full well know such a vaccine is years away. Their intent is to stop the reelection of President Trump.

These same corrupt “experts” deplore the HCQ treatments so many doctors around the world extol. Why? The reason which makes most sense is so that an expensive vaccine can be found and sold by the very same people who mock the “Trump pill”.

All these “experts” thought the same way as the Obama Dimocrats and NeverTrump fools. They thought President Trump would do like President Hoover did when confronted with the Great Depression, which was not much. Instead President Trump has taken full charge not seen since FDR experimented unsuccessfully to end the Great Depression. It was World War II which finally succeeded where economic policy had failed.

The totalitarian left has consistently misunderstood President Trump due to their hatred. Instead of impotence President Trump has been able to stop all illegal immigration at the southern border thanks to the Chinese CoronaVirus emergency declarations. Now illegals are returned within 96 minutes to Mexico and zero asylum claims are processed. President Trump has continued to “drain the swamp” by firing Obama Inspector Generals as Benjamin Wittes’ salty tears flow. On China, total victory for President Trump as the entire world sees he has been correct all along.

President Trump is now supreme leader in his fight to bring back manufacturing to the United States as Americans see the danger of not being self sufficient but instead relying on a communist globalist world order. And as President Trump prepares to reopen the strongest economy in the world there is news on the issue that once was the hope of the totalitarian left:

Indictments. After Communist Chinese CoronaVirus comes Durham to remove permanently the deadly infection of totalitarian left globalists who hate America.
