Part of the fun of reading Snake Oil: How Xi Jinping Shut Down the World is that you get to put yourself in the dictator’s shoes. In the book, Xi is an allegory for the Chinese Communist Party in the 21st century. Xi’s “lines” break up the writing with dark humor, a satirical jab at western elites’ blasé attitude toward an advanced, totalitarian regime with overtly-manipulative goals. The book invites you to see through the bad guy’s eyes and imagine just how easy it was to subvert the free world into totalitarianism using the response to a perfectly banal virus.
Alas, to that end, my book has been upstaged by the work of Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, one of the “Trifecta” of three leading officials behind Covid lockdowns in the United States. Virtually every page of Birx’s monstrosity of a book, Silent Invasion, reads like a how-to guide in subverting a democratic superpower from within, as could only be told through the personal account of someone who was on the front lines doing just that.
Notably, though Birx’s memoir has earned relatively few reviews on Amazon, it’s earned rave reviews from Chinese state media, a feat not shared even by far-more-popular pro-lockdown books such as those by Michael Lewis and Lawrence Wright.
The glowing response from Chinese state media should come as no surprise, however, because every sentence of Birx’s book reads like it was written by the CCP itself. Chapter 1 opens with what she claims was her first impression of the virus.
I can still see the words splashed across my computer screen in the early morning hours of January 3. Though we were barely into 2020, I was stuck in an old routine, waking well before dawn and scanning news headlines online. On the BBC’s site, one caught my attention: “China Pneumonia Outbreak: Mystery Virus Probed in Wuhan.”
Indeed, as recounted in Snake Oil, that BBC article, which was posted at approximately 9:00 AM EST on January 3, 2020, was the first in a western news organization to discuss the outbreak of a new virus in Wuhan. Apparently, Birx was scanning British news headlines just as it appeared. What are the odds!

I read excerpts and came to a totally different conclusion than Birx she should be held on treason charges.
Depravity and hubris of these people.
In the Constitution, treason has a very limited definition.
Lest we forget Mike Pence who chaired the White House Coronavirus Response Task Force called Dr. Birx:
“my right arm”.
Fauxi, Scarf and Pence should all be hanged together at the same time.
I’m getting an Ambrose Bierce vibe.
Promising
A few civil lawsuits for damages would be nice as criminal prosecution will most likely not happen with the Biden administration.
Quite a few more could be lumped into that coal black heart pile. I'd pay to see it happen.
Of all of them, Pence is the biggest disappointment. I really thought he was one of the good guys but he was nothing but a deep state swamp creature the entire time. He folded like a cheap suit when it counted the most.
Birx should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop for giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
And with Birx’s scarfs!
Thanks for posting. BTTT
Bttt
So we can all agree or most that the scamdemic was just that to ruin the economy and set the stage for the great reset. How is it that we were doing just fine with trump until the election was stolen by the crime syndicate and the destruction of America was put in high gear
I’m sure she was Pence’s right arm. They succeeded in sandbagging PDJT, along with Fauci.
Great piece! Just...wow. Michael Sangar makes the case that Birx—”The Scarf” (Rush)—was almost single handedly responsible for the crazy lockdowns, masking, phony asymptomatic spread, school closures, etc. And she did it by lying to the boss, Trump, and his team. And how Atlas foiled many of her espionage.
Stealth Manchurian implant? Very possible.
And still, to this day, she denies china lied about so much. And reveals her subterfuge in her own book! And...she HATES Atlas.
Bookmarked the author’s substack. Looking forward to reading more.
“Sure sounds like insubordination and criminal conspiracy in aid of a foreign power.”
Plenty to charge her with under espionage.
“Fauxi, Scarf and Pence should all be hanged together at the same time.”
Hear, haear! Redfield, I’d settle for a public flogging.
