Researcher and attorney Michael P. Senger suggests that the Chinese government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign to exaggerate the severity of coronavirus in order to force the rest of the world into a draconian lockdown that would serve to benefit Beijing.
In an article for Tablet Magazine, Senger details how in late January, “international COVID-19 hysteria began” with a series of suspicious videos posted to social media sites showing people in China suddenly collapsing on the streets, including one instance where a man held out his arm to break his fall, suggesting the collapse was staged.
After tens of millions of people were confined to their homes during one of the most brutally enforced lockdowns in history, Senger notes how in February the CCP “reported an exponential decline in coronavirus cases, until March 19 when they announced their lockdown had eliminated domestic cases entirely.”
China has officially recorded just 4,634 deaths from coronavirus, despite having a population almost five times larger than the United States, where the current death toll stands at over 205,000.
The World Health Organization and other scientific experts then waxed lyrical about China’s response to COVID-19, which is what led to virtually every other country on the planet mirroring its approach.
However, Senger argues that the initial hysteria over COVID and lockdown that followed could have been a carefully orchestrated Chinese propaganda campaign to hoodwink its hegemonic competitors into destroying their own economies in response to a virus with a relatively low fatality rate.
The researcher documents how armies of Chinese bot accounts on Twitter were instrumental in promoting early lockdowns in countries like Italy while bombarding political figures who refused to order strict lockdowns, such as South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, with criticism and abuse.
By promoting fraudulent data, aggressively deploying disinformation, and flexing its institutional clout, Beijing transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” crippling rival economies, expanding its influence, and sowing authoritarian values.https://t.co/VdC2DkDckG — Michael P Senger (@MichaelPSenger) September 16, 2020
He also highlights how Chinese state media organs savaged the “herd immunity” approach, which was initially considered but then rejected by several western leaders, as a violation of “human rights.”
Sweden, which went for the herd immunity approach by refusing to enforce a lockdown and came out economically better than any other European country, was also targeted by the bots, as was British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was accused of engaging in “genocide” by initially considering the herd immunity approach.
Senger’s conclusion explores why China aggressively emphasized the need for global lockdowns.
“The most benign possible explanation for the CCP’s campaign for global lockdowns is that the party aggressively promoted the same lie internationally as domestically—that lockdowns worked.
For party members, when Wuhan locked down it likely went without saying that the lockdown would “eliminate” coronavirus; if Xi willed it to be true, then it must be so. This is the totalitarian pathology that George Orwell called “double-think.” But the fact that authoritarian regimes always lie does not give them a right to spread deadly lies to the rest of the world, especially by clandestine means.”
“And then there’s the possibility that by shutting down the world, Xi Jinping, who vaulted through the ranks of the party, quotes ancient Chinese scholars, has mastered debts and derivatives, studies complexity science, and envisions a socialist future with China at its center, knew exactly what he was doing.”
Senger’s theory holds weight when one considers how China has now been back to “normal” for months, while western countries, still panicked by COVID hysteria, continue to lockdown their citizens and cripple their own economies despite hospitalizations and deaths due to coronavirus having flatlined in countries like the United Kingdom.

Interesting. I was wondering at the time about some of that stuff; looked orchestrated, acted, lone chinee in room ranting about what they saw w/o evidence. Earthmoves supposedly making hospitals but no buildings, etc. Also guys wandering around ERs with body bags all over the place, I wondered how the CCP gov allowed them to film it and put on twiiter; thus thinking maybe wanted them to put that out there.
CCP + W.H.O. + Demshevik Revolutionary Party + Bill Gates and his Oct. 2019 “What if there was a Covid Pandemic” Symposium = SCAMDEMIC/PLANDEMIC!
Nanzi was pushing people into Chinatown while DeBlasio and his henchpeeps were pushing people into NY Chinatown - “Wuhan Strong” - “Don’t fear the virus” etc.
Wasn’t “stupidity”.
It was to ensure infection.
Demshevik party was in cahoots with China to spread virus. That’s why they condemned Trump for stopping flights from China etc. They wanted it to spread and once it did, jumped to the other side of the fence and screamed that Trump didn’t do enough, and then took away our constitutional rights with insane restrictions. How many governors forced covid patients into nursing homes to increase the death numbers? How many governors and other “health officials” refused to allow people to get treated with HCQ, to increase sickness and death numbers?
And the MSM did their part by whipping up fear and pushing lies, and social media by banning anyone who didn’t toe the W.H.O. line.
People need to get over the idea that the Demshevik party and their bullhorn the MSM would not cause deaths to push their revolution. Our deaths mean nothing to them. They are the party of death and repression.
They are worse than evil.
The main purpose of covid was to get mail in voting so the Demsheviks could cheat and get rid of Trump and install Bitem, the CCP friendly (”Owned”) candidate.
And blame Trump for all the covid deaths and mayhem.
Works for me.
It makes far more sense than anything else.
It’s all about stopping this, he explains it exactly.

Xi screwed up big time he hurt to many countries going to be many back room meetings about him.
Maybe even a power struggle in China ?.
And we fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Just like the CCP knew we would.

I didn’t fall for it. My mom was moved to Hospice on 3/10 and on 3/17 I was locked out from being with her, until the last 45 minutes of her life. The suckers fell for the BS and people suffered. My mom suffered.
People are still suffering.
This looks like it was cooked up some time ago and when you see western nations such as Australia and the USA acting like totalitarian governments it certainly looks like there were people in our country that wanted to take over the country away from the sovereign voters. Globalist admire the way China has found a “scientific” way to control human beings. Don’t be surprised if many of those globalist people who have been supporting China trade would love to have a country like that. Why not? They would not lose their freedom. They would have all the freedom in the world and the majority of the people would be kept smothered like the poor Chinese people. The Chinese communists with western internet technology have surpassed the dystopian society of George Orwell’s “1984”.
Remember those videos of police grabbing people and putting them in police wagons? People being forced into their apartments and being locked up?
Give us a huge centrally planned world government, PLEASE! PLEASE! That is the only way to stop covid!!
So trade with China was supposed to bring the Chinese into the world of free enterprise and democracy. Yeah sure. It brought us into the Chinese world of slave wages and suppresion of rights. The globalists weren’t trying to bring the Chinese to our side, they were trying to bring us into their side. They are showing their true colors as globalist tyrants secretly envy the power of dictators.
Testing for the virus has proven to be a mistake as well because they are simply making it part of the hoax. They play with the numbers of “new cases” which are always going up. This just serves to confuse the public and keep us in hysterics. The “new cases” are questionable and may just be from old colds or flues but it just keeps feeding the fear.
Biden would be the Chinese dream come true.
I have been thinking about how they faked covid in the United states. I think is was 10% actual covid and 90% fakery with fake numbers.
Getting briefed by the CCP and stocking up on hydroxychloroquine.
That was obvious from the get go.
They are still trying it and I presume you’ve seen the warnings of that dreaded *second wave* that’s going to be worse than the first.
I also think thye are going to use this COVID hysteria with the regular flu this year to continue to justify the continued lockdowns and demands for mask wearing.
They are calling this our *new normal* and they are doing their dangest to make it that way so there’s less resistance to the concept. I think that thye are hoping and maybe planning on keeping it up long enough so that the old normal begins to fade in our minds.
Watch for more holidays and traditions to be canceled and prohibited.
Only state approved activities for you from now on, comrade.
Your last line just knocked me over “comrade”. The commmies never give up and they pass their mental illness from generation to generation. If they can’t get in the front door, they sneak in the back door. We know that they love to tear down traditions and cultural values and what a sneaky way to do this, one step at a time. No one can challenge them on it because it is only to save lives. Who doesn’t want to save live?
A Chinese woman scientist who appeared on Tucker Carlson says that the virus was not man made and was intentionally released by the Chinese government. If it was intentionally released it was a weapon of war. If the first step was to release it to the USA and other countries the next question is just what methods did they use to spread it to the population?
Thank God the President finally got the right doctor—Dr. Scot Atlas. Too bad he wasn’t the one in charge of the NIH from the beginning.
What did Fauci know and when did he know it?
Sixty million abortions doesn’t bother the dems.
Pelosi and Deblasio.
Go to the Chinese New Year's celebration. Use public transportation.
There's nothing to worry about. It's harmless.
President Trump is over reacting because he's just a racist and xenophobe for stopping incoming flights from China.
And don't forget cuomo and all his buddies who ordered nursing homes to take COVID patients thus killing off large numbers of elderly residents of those nursing homes.
THOSE are the methods they used to spread it in the population.
