  1. @ Michael S: I have read in various sources that China is now conducting “gain-of-function” experiments in its laboratories on avian flu. in order , supposedly, to “study” a mutation allegedly discovered in a remote part of China that can be transmitted from one human to another. Hmmmm. Many epidemiogists say that avian flu is far more deadly than COVID-19, and that its transmission from one human to another would result in far more deaths than have been caused by COVID. Of course more expensive vaccines will have to be developed, pouring more millions into the coffers of BIG Pharma at the expense of millions of lives, and trillions of treasure.

    “…an, because if they do, China will expose their staggering corruption.”

    If I learn anything during my short sojourn on earth, I’m afraid it might be to what length people are willing to go, to appear righteous. They will kill or be killed, for a chance to accomplish this, giving no regard for the fate of their neighbors, their loved ones, or even life itself. If it weren’t for this fact, on both sides of the Pacific, the whole China-US mess would have a simple solution. As things stand, the prospect is one of near-certain doom for everyone involved.

  3. @ Adam Dalgliesh:
    I agree with Adam Dalgliesh that China is preparing to invade Taiwan. Who will stop them?? The Washington swamp is owned and operated by China. China owns corrupt China-centric Joe Biden, the corrupt China-centric Democrat politicians, and the equally corrupt China-centric RINOS. None will intervene to protect Taiwan, because if they do, China will expose their staggering corruption. No one does extortion better than the communist Chinese. If the DOJ weren’t so overwhelmingly corrupt, it would have already done a forensic accounting and exposed all of the crooks in Congress and the WH. Follow the money – always follow the money.

  4. “Navarro: Clear signs show Fauci is ‘father of the pandemic’; Mnuchin blocked Trump commission

    “Mounting evidence pointing to laboratory origins of the Covid-19 virus in Wuhan, China implicates Dr. Anthony Fauci, said economist Peter Navarro, an assistant to President Donald Trump and early proponent for cutting off travel from China early in the pandemic.

    “Navarro followed up the explosive statements in a column with a podcast in which he said President Trump had wanted to launch a presidential commission on the origins of the virus which would have placed China on the defensive. However Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin blocked the initiative.

    “In an April 13 op-ed for the Washington Times, Navarro wrote: “The former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, believes the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    “If Dr. Redfield is correct — and he almost certainly is — then Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health must assume significant responsibility for a global pandemic that has killed over half-a-million Americans, kicked tens of millions of Americans to the unemployment curb and drained trillions of dollars of wealth from the American economy.”

    It was Fauci who “provided the Wuhan lab with both the funding and the green light for gain-of-function experiments,” Navarro noted, adding those are facts that “are not in dispute.”

    ““Gain of function” refers to artificial manipulation of existing viruses in order to enhance or enable their transmission to humans and to cause disease. The acknowledged purpose is to gain knowledge to better fight such viruses. Bioweapon development is another potential application…”

    WHEN WE TALK ABOUT “FACING DOWN” CHINA, REMEMBER THAT BIDEN AND HIS CREW ARE ON CHINA’S SIDE.

  5. I believe China is preparing to invade Taiwan in the near future. The U.S. was and is crazy to allow China to buy the U.S. economy and make us vulnerable to economic collapse if China ever decides to sell its interests in the United States. The are some indications that Xi may be planning to force Chinese businesses to transfer their assets in the U.S. back to China, so that he will have a free hand to invade Taiwan. Such an invasion would be costly to China, but nations have sometimes put their nationalist imperatives above economic considerations.
