Oh, now I understand. It doesn't matter what the origin of this virus is. We've now been hit by THREE DANGEROUS VIRUSES IN 20 YEARS WHICH ORIGINATED IN CHINA. I was just showing that China's political environment, not merely its cultural environment, fosters the creation and spread of dangerous diseases to the point where China is now the No. 1 threat on the planet to civilization.

In particular I was showing how nuts, not merely weird, China is by our standards. To understand the degree of the threat China poses to the rest of the world, I explained the hideously dangerous nature of these unofficial biowar labs. At no time did I say that CV19 originated there. I have repeatedly said that we'll likely never know if it did, or in any official Chinese biowar or medical research lab.

And by we, I mean the public, not the US government or any of its intelligence agencies. I explained back in 2001, on the Freep, how no American acting by himself could have developed the anthrax used on us after 9/11, how the FBI was lying and being misleading, and why I thought it originated in Iraq as a laboratory one-off which was found not to be useable as a military weapon. And then handed off to Mohamed Atta for terrorist use.

In terms of my personal credibility, you should look at all my posts on the Freep.

I’m sorry you see this as an issue of personal credibility. It was certainly not my intent to convey that.

Everyone knows the cultural and political cesspit that is China.

It was the assertion that there are multiple biowar labs in China outside the control of the central government. And their plans to use it against their fellows. And the assertion this virus originated in one of them.

Those are the points I was diving in to.
