who was forcing them? hint: the CCP
During WW2, men fought without bullets. During the Viet War, men fought without air support or supply chains. During this war, our first liners started this viral ambush without adequate PPE, even less clinical knowledge, and very limited pharmaceutical options. PPE has improved in the last month, in a war-time, working around a stragetic-shortage attack, scraping the corners of the earth for product, kind of way.
But let’s not forget, from January on, when there were no cases of CCPVirus in the US, CCP had ‘stuff’ hunters out scouring the globe for all the stuff the world would soon need. And they bought it all up. Hundreds of tons. And the fabric to make them, too. Enough for every man woman child and baby in China to have 10 PPE suits and a dozen masks each. (even if they did show us film clips of the poor who couldn’t buy masks) (I particularly liked the one where the old farmers were using melons as masks). It was reminiscent of the daiguo’s - who go around stripping Australia and the US of baby formula, or Walgreens of their entire lipstick displays, or toy stores of the latest toys, so that the product can be sold in China for Chinese for a profit. It’s called capitalism, ok, greed and selfishness, in peace-time. In wartime, pandemic time, it’s an international crime.
This was a mission-complete, TV show made for broadcast on CNTV, before the USA had a dozen cases and the world was still focused on the Diamond Princess. In the meantime, Shanghai factories alone were generating 100M masks a month. In February. Each. So they could sell their masks and gowns at 3-10x the normal rate - committing the int’l crime of illegal price gouging in a pandemic and using mask diplomacy to buy one-sided power concessions for China. As China exploits death to try to transform their economic power into world political supremacy. As China uses televised videos of overrun hospitals around the world to bolster their citizens sense of ‘superiority’ to the world.
It sucks our ambulance drivers, EMTs, cops, firemen, nurses, NPs, ICU certified and doctors, grocers, minimart clerks, postal employees, food chain employees, and our vulnerable, were ambushed. No doubt about it. And while it’s acceptable to lay some blame on the Governors and their Disaster Preparedness staff for a rocky start, the real blame falls squarely to CCP China. Where it should remain. Very vocally. And very harshly. Had China not actively tried to monopolize critical supplies, had they not withheld data, or put out fake data, many of our first liners would be with us today. China lied and people died.
BATTLE OF SOURCES - Will the Truth Please Stand Up?
Five Eyes network contradicts theory Covid-19 leaked from lab
“There is no current evidence to suggest that coronavirus leaked from a Chinese research laboratory, intelligence sources have told the Guardian, contradicting recent White House claims that there is growing proof this is how the pandemic began.
The sources also insisted that a “15-page dossier” highlighted by the Australian Daily Telegraph which accused China of a deadly cover up was not culled from intelligence from the Five Eyes network, an alliance between the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Yeah but, Pelosi is blocking investigations into the Wuhan laboratory. The NHI funded the research that has resulted in 1/3 of all cases being in the US. That wont last for long as the Third World will be devastated soon.
