Media's Wuhan Lies Lengthen, Deepen
American Thinker.com ^ | September 27, 2020 | Trevor Thomas

Because they've made a god of government, there's seemingly always another low to which liberals will stoop in order to help slow, sleepy Joe defeat Donald Trump in November. Many of these lows involve the numerous nefarious reactions to the Wuhan virus. Make no mistake about it: we have suffered an unprecedented loss of jobs and businesses, the shutdown of schools, entertainment, and hospitals; the mandating of masks and "social distancing"; and the like, not because of a global pandemic, but because of our foolish and unprecedented reaction to a global pandemic.

In other words, much of what was "unprecedented" in the fight against the Wuhan virus was simply unnecessary. As Tim Black at Spiked recently put it, because of what leftism has wrought worldwide, we have turned a pandemic into an apocalypse. Mr. Black writes:

To varying degrees, political elites, screamed on by the media, have responded to the threat posed by this virus as if it is world-ending. As if it demands the complete reorganisation of social and economic life around the supreme principle of safety. As if there is no way back. They treat it not as a nasty virus that poses a significant but manageable health risk to certain sections of the populace. No, they treat it as a god-like judgement on the old structures of social life, now deemed, in the jargon of the day, unsafe and unsustainable.

This is what is unprecedented. Not the novel virus itself. But the panicked, fear-laden and, in some quarters, gleefully apocalyptic response.

Because viruses are simply going to virus — not at all unprecedented — in order to keep the fear and the panic high, American leftists in politics, academia, and the media must regularly lie.

Should be required reading for fearpers. I was talking to one of my neighbors two days ago and she was confusing new cases with new deaths.

It wouldn’t come as a surprise if this virus not only was concocted but also used by China with he intend to use it as an economic weapon. Not only that but that some of our own home grown socialists-they prefer to be called liberals; had their fingers in it and in a roundabout were hoping that these events, such as shut downs etc. would also bring down Trump. Well, it is just a thought, probably not as far fetched as you may think.

It all comes down to one blatant fact:

Horseshoe bats roost all over the continent from eastern China to North Africa and as far north as Scandinavia and Russia. They have been discovered in Iceland and Japan. So with all the spread of this animal that is the cause of the pandemic, how come it is traced back to one location in all these miles and miles of possibilities, to one place that just happens to have the largest bio warfare labs in existence in China and they sell more bio warfare products than anyone else in the world? And that’s just the bottom line.

Wow, the Democrats/China fool President Trump, local leaders, other National Governments in the world, and a lot of Republican governors too.

I saw another report here that stated China conducted a big Covid-19 hoax using Social Media.

This has to be the biggest Hoaxs in world history.

I am a little (maybe highly) disappointed in our National Republican Leaders who did not identify this as a hoax. Not only they still believe the hoax, they continue to support the hoax to be re-elected.

As an everyday common man, I do not have the resources to discount a hoax like this. I have to trust my leaders on matters like this. Now I ask myself should I trust people who lie to get re-elected.

The article to which the AT article refers, Making an apocalypse out of a pandemic by Tim Black, is excellent, too.

There was a similar article a month ago: "Viruses Gonna Virus" by Scott Morefield at Townhall.com.

The absolute end-of-days hysteria over this virus is just nuts. A theory was covered in an yesterday that the Chinese falsely amped this thing up just to send the West into an economic tailspin. I've wondered about all the film coming out of China around March and April showing the apocalypse in Wuhan with the rapid construction of eight "hospitals," welding doors shut, people in taxis crying about relatives burned alive in crematoria, etc. It was all well choreographed.

Thank God here in Idaho we never went insane. These days, you typically see less than 10% of the populace in masks. It was just announced our schools are going from Orange to Yellow and will be open five days, but the kids have to keep wearing masks.

... and the fact that China did not seal off Wuhan to international travel at the same time they sealed it to internal China travel.

The hysteria is over a cold/flu according to many here.

Besides the films coming out of China, we have to wonder about the videos coming out of Italy. We need to question the Reports of the high count of deaths coming out of other countries too.

Could China have choreographed the differnt world goverments and certain US States to generate false Covid-19 deaths reports?

I would pray our leadership in the National Government and State Government could see through this hoax. If they cannot, we are in big trouble no matter who is elected.

A lot of folks believe the officer holders are only supporting the hoax to get re-elected. Do we really want to re-elect liars? They will just lock the USA down again for the next election or maybe control.

Well, it is what they do best, and have been doing for decades.

“February 4: President Trump vowed in his State of the Union Address to “take all necessary steps” to protect Americans from the coronavirus.”

I did not know President Trump stated this on Feb 4th. So he is hook line and sinker too.

Such ugly fraud has been perpetuated numerous times across the U.S. by the media, politicians, school administrators, business executives, and medical personnel alike. Enough is enough! These Wuhan virus lies are disrupting and destroying lives and livelihoods. It's long past time to end the lies and open the country!

The key words are “ugly fraud ”!!!
