China and Covid

 

China and Covid

 More and more evidence is emerging that the Covid pandemic started in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, rather than in bats or pangolins, as falsely reported for over a year.  As in many other cases, when President Trump posited the Wuhan lab origin in early 2020, he was excoriated by our dishonest media, and made to look like a conspiracy theorist.

 It is doubtful, but not impossible, that the communist party of China purposely released the Covid virus on the world.  The CCP were weaponizing corona viruses, so this is not entirely impossible, but it is more likely that the virus was released from the lab accidently.

 Of course, once the CCP knew that the virus had been released and was in the wild, (sometime toward the end of 2019), instead of informing the world, they covered it up and brutally suppressed in within China, but let it escape to the rest of the world.  It should not surprise anyone if they had Machiavellian motives in doing this.  Effectively, someone in power in China must have reasoned, “as long as the virus has escaped from the lab, let’s stamp it out within China and put a lid on it, and if that results in China gaining hegemony over the rest of the world as a result of this, all the better for China.”

 It seems to have worked!  A quick look at China’s 6% + growth in GDP since the Covid outbreak, compared to the puny, 1 - 2% growth in GDP of the U.S. and most other major countries, shows that China’s gambit was successful.  Of course, this is simplistic, and there are many other factors, but directionally…..

 As of June, 2021, China’s reported Covid numbers are 91,400 cases, and 4,600 deaths, for a population of 1.4 billion people.  As a contrast, the U.S. has over 34 million cases, and over 614,000 deaths.  For India, these numbers are 29.4 million cases, and 367,000 deaths.  Even if one applies a factor of 100 to the reported Chinese numbers, they would be orders of magnitude out of line with the rest of the world.

 The CCP lied about the outbreak of the Coved pandemic, and they continue to lie about the numbers within China.  Whistleblowers out of China early in the pandemic reported infected people locked in their apartments and left to die, very high crematoria activity, and millions of people disappearing from telephone listings.  Again, these reports were covered up by the Chinese media, and willingly acquiesced to by our accommodating anti-Trump media.

 Better begin learning Mandarin, (and maybe some Russian and Farsi, too), particularly you Biden voters.  Xi Jinping’s and China’s avowed goal is to become the dominant economic and military power in the world.  President Trump realized that China, not weak, little, badger-like Russia, was our main antagonist in the world, and he held them somewhat in check.

 But this weak, puling socialist government of Joe Biden and his puppeteers, is no match for an ever-expanding China.  Until we install a government that can institute a strong foreign policy, we had better be prepared for further real expansion by China, the nipping away at weak spots in the world by a badger-like Russia, and the development of a nuclear capability and delivery systems by the Iranian mullahs.

 Buyer’s remorse, yet, you Biden voters who resulted in a country governed by a weak, subservient socialist government?  Were Trump’s tweets worse than derision by foreign friends and antagonists, incipient inflation, $4.00 gasoline, uncontrolled aliens and drugs streaming across our southern border, defunded police and high crime rates, imposed racism due to “wokeness” and critical race theory, identity politics and cancel culture?  These are all things you brought us and sanctioned, Biden voters.

Marxism is Destroying America

 

Marxism is Destroying America

 What is wrong with the current crop of democrats who “elected” Joe Biden president in the 2020 election?  Are they not American citizens, who are proud of that fact?

 Apparently not, because it seems that the modern democrat party does not follow our American constitution, our heritage and our laws.  Instead, it seems to follow the precepts of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other Marxist philosophies and movements. 

 Obviously not all democrats are Marxists.  Most are just uninformed, and follow the siren song of the far-left Marxists, and their biased, collaborative news media, which have perverted American values beyond all recognition.

 Even a cursory review of the tenets of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky will show that the goals of Marxism are to tear down the foundations of a government, and build it back from scratch as a Marxist communist/socialist “peoples’” utopia.  (As an aside, history has proven that this utopian dream never works, and results in totalitarian dictatorships that kill millions of their own people to maintain hegemony.)

 Consider what our current American Marxists are doing.  They are attempting to erase real American history and values, and replace them with slave-holding, rather than liberty, as our guiding principle.  With the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory, our modern Marxists are in processing of infesting our elementary schools, through graduate level universities, with these false, corrosive philosophies.

 Then there is law enforcement, which has been emasculated by left-leaning local governments, that have defunded the police, such that crime rates have increased to alarming levels across our major cities.  This is another Marxist tactic to produce crime and chaos, so that they can establish their own leftist regulatory forces. (Already tried in Seattle’s “autonomous zone” last summer, and in force, right now, in “Floydville”, Minneapolis.)

 Our founders allowed for an armed populace that could protect themselves against external dangers, and that also could protect themselves from an over-zealous government.  Of course, the Marxists can’t have this.  What really sticks in their craw is the fact that there are over 300 million guns in the country, one for nearly every man, woman and child.  To their chagrin, confiscation is hardly feasible, with such massive numbers.  So, they chip away.  With euphemisms and “newspeak” misrepresenting actual capabilities of certain classes of firearms.  They invent terms like “assault rifles”, that have no resemblance to reality, to generate fear in the uninformed, mainly democrat, masses.

 Another Marxist tactic is political correctness, “wokeism” and cancel culture.  All these really are, are euphemisms for censorship.  “Wokeism is a Marxist inspired movement that started off with well-intentioned people that wanted to stop racism and social injustice. It has now morphed into a cult that seeks to silence all of those that disagree. At first, using social humiliation, but now graduating to violence through Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots.” 

 It seems that much of what this current crop of democrats, spurred on by alt-left Marxists, are doing, is to vindictively undo anything that President Trump instituted, whether or not it harms the country.  A case in point is the southern border.  Under Trump, illegal border incursions were a trickle.  Biden reversed Trump’s policies, opening up the border to all comers – real Latin American migrants, possible terrorists, drugs, including fentanyl, all orchestrated by coyotes and criminals.  Why?  Obviously to get more potential leftists into the country, to aid in solidifying a one party, Marxist, system.

 There is a litany of abuses to our American Republic by Joe Biden and his leftist handlers.  Things that were working under President Trump that Biden and his puppeteers have wrecked are;- our energy independence under Trump, (low emission LNG for domestic use and export delivered by pipeline), no inflation and stable consumer prices under Trump, low gas prices under Trump, a strong foreign posture, particularly with China, Russia and Iran, under Trump.

Our strength and efficacy as a nation continues to erode almost daily, as socialist programs continue to spew from the Bidenites.  Trillions in socialist pork spending are proposed, as are undoing Trump’s middle class tax cuts, and new taxes from the Biden crowd.

 It seems that everything that the Marxist crowd controlling Biden touches turns to crap.  About the only thing they have done right is continue to vaccinate the country against Covid.  This is because of Trump’s “warp speed” program to produce effective vaccines within nine months, and to start putting them into people’s arms.  Of course, Biden, the plagiarist, tries to take credit for these accomplishments. 

 If we don’t wake up as a country, vote these Marxists out, establish viable borders, reinstitute our state voting laws, including identification, ensure that our schools teach honest American history, and strengthen our law enforcement, we run the risk of becoming just another experiment in free society that failed.

Buyer’s remorse yet?

 

Buyer’s remorse yet?

 Do you have buyer’s remorse yet, all you Biden voters who couldn’t stand Trump’s “in your face” personality and tweets?  It didn’t matter that we actually had a real southern border, that we were energy independent, that we were proud to be Americans, black, white, Asian, all, that we had no inflation and low gas prices, that the Trump tax cuts benefited all of us by about $2000 per month per family, that we were strong in our foreign relations, rather than weak and subservient, that we had “warp speed” vaccines, and a vaccination program within 9 months.

 What seemed to matter more to you Bidenites were Trump’s irritating personality and tweets.  So, you got rid of him, by fair means or foul, mostly foul.  By unconstitutional perversion of swing state election laws, by repeated chicanery at the polls reported by whistleblowers, and dismissed, by possible tampering with internet connected voting machines, and on and on, all dismissed, “POOF”, by the corrupt Bidenite cabal, along with Durham’s investigation, Hunter’s laptop, - “POOF”, all gone in Biden’s totalitarian, socialist regime.

 After five months of Biden and his socialist handlers, we have thousands of undocumented and unscreened, coyote orchestrated illegal aliens, including possible terrorists, and illegal drugs, including fentanyl, streaming across our southern border. We have inflation.  We have at least $1.00 per gallon higher gas prices. We have trillions of dollars-worth of programs designed to make our country a totalitarian, one-party socialist/communist system, all masked by newspeak platitudes. And we have a reversion to the choking restrictions and taxes on businesses that hinder the economic growth of the country.

 Wait until inflation erodes your economic power further, and Biden’s reversal of The Trump tax cuts and his own increase in taxes further emasculate your budgets.  Perhaps then, the buyer’s remorse will seem closer to home, and you’ll vote these socialist charlatans out of office.

Mike Lindell 9-0

 

Mike Lindell 9-0

 https://youtu.be/JAmi3dXNFSk

 Mike Lindell’s presentation is glib, filled with “techno” special effects, and is, overall, however, somewhat amateurish.  The presentation presents packet capture traffic from China and other foreign countries, ostensibly to Dominion voting machines in several key U.S. swing states during the November 3, 2020 national election.  It purports to unpack that network traffic into source and destination IP addresses, latitude and longitude, network ID, and other information, including votes stolen from President Trump.

 At first, all is well and good.  The IP addresses from China check out, as do the U.S. IP addresses from swing states.  Then Lindell and his silhouetted cyber expert jump to conclusions about the numbers of votes stolen from Trump in each location.  This does not follow as matter-of-factly as these guys jump to it.  IMHO, this is the main area where the presentation fails as fact, and enters into the realm of conspiracy theory, because they do not explain how they obtained this conclusive data from the network traffic.

 The makers of Dominion election machines first claimed that these machines were not connected to the internet.  They were not on line.  During a live hearing in Georgia, a white hat hacker established a two-way connection into the integral part of a Dominion voting machine.  Dominion management later retracted, and admitted that “some” Dominion machines could be connected to the internet.

 As far as SCOTUS rendering a 9-0 decision to return Donald Trump to the White House by August, 2021, there is no mechanism in our government to do this.  First of all, it is hardly likely that SCOTUS will take up Lindell’s cause, no matter how highly Lindell thinks of it.  Secondly, SCOTUS is, typically, in recess from late June/early July until the first Monday in October. Thirdly, the only ways that we can unseat a sitting president is by impeachment, (hardly likely, with a democratic congress), or by the 25^th amendment because of impairment.  In any case, the replacement would be the Vice President, Kamala Harris, and not Trump.

 Mike Lindell is a valiant crusader for Donald Trump, and against the scurrilous and probably illegal way that Trump was removed from office.  He is also a tireless salesman, as anyone who has heard his “my pillow” commercials will attest. Unfortunately, in this case, Lindell is promoting what most rational thinkers will relegate to the realm of conspiracy theory.

Poof!

 

Poof!

 What happened to the Durham investigation?  What happened to Hunter Biden and the incriminating laptop?  What happened to our energy independence and low gas prices?  What happened to our strong southern border?  What happened to no inflation? What happened to American pride and integrity?

 All gone, POOF! Under the totalitarian, socialist regime being instituted by Biden’s handlers, using good old lying, plagiarizing, grandfatherly Joe as the stalking horse for the Marxists.

 Is the American public ever going to escape the hypnotic grasp of the lying, biased media, and realize what is happening to our country?  The country is being subverted by Marxist activists supported by a corrupt media.  Our freedoms are being eroded away under our noses while Marxist/socialist operatives croon newspeak platitudes.  Even the most uninformed must realize to some extent, what is happening.

 If we do not resist this current, headlong, rush toward a Marxist system, we will have no country left.  Individual states are seeing the writing on the wall, and are resisting. The whole country needs to see the danger, and vote out these Marxists in the ensuing elections.  If we don’t, we risk of following other wealthy countries, like Venezuela, down the road to socialist ruin.

Covid Lab Reversal

 

Covid Lab Reversal

 Liar!, Fakir!, Conspiracy theorist!  All epithets thrown at President Trump with impunity by the dishonest, biased media, in their successful efforts to remove Trump from office.  And all being slowly retracted (on page 8 of NYT or WaPo, or in 5 second “news” bursts on our lying TV channels).  But slanting the news and coloring it “anti-Trump”, and hiding pro-Trump news, like vaccine availability and Hunter’s laptop, obviously contributed to ending Trump’s term.  Is it any wonder that he strenuously protested the election results?

 It’s not “cool”, and certainly not “woke”, to talk about the 2020 presidential election being stolen.  Forgetting the myriad whistleblowers and repeated reports of election fraud that have been conveniently dismissed by our biased media, one just needs to consider old Joe Biden, the political hack who was in Washington for 50 years, sitting in his basement, and garnering 15 million more votes than the saintly Obama.  Does anyone think that the combined efforts of our lying media, big tech, big Hollywood had any impact on Joe Biden being “elected”?

 This article is a remarkably fair look at the current Covid origin reversal and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in it.  President Trump and Secretary of State Pompeo were excoriated for suggesting that Covid was a lab-engineered virus out of the Wuhan labs, rather than originating in bats or pangolins, and jumping to humans.  A furor of denials, with Dr. Anthony Fauci prominent in the mix ensued.  Now, as is often the case in these reversals, Dr. Fauci is being made the fall guy, even leading to Trump’s election demise.

 The article reviews several of Dr. Fauci’s email exchanges at the time, and does not immediately condemn him.  Instead, it discusses these emails in the context of the times, and cuts Dr. Fauci a bit more slack than his immediate detractors seem to be doing.

America’s Enemies – China, Russia, Iran

 

America’s Enemies – China, Russia, Iran

The mostly uninformed American public, conditioned by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, and the rest of the biased mainstream media, consider Russia as being our major foreign antagonist, with China and Iran secondary to Russia.  This could be further from the truth.  As I’ve often posited, rather than being a major foreign power like the old Soviet Union, Russia, these days, can be compared economically to Mexico, or even Texas, except that the Russians  have nuclear weapons left over from the cold war.

 The old image of the big, old, powerful Russian bear can be replaced by the image of a mischievous and destructive badger, nipping and ripping away at weak spots in the world fabric, (of which there are plenty, under our current very weak Biden administration).

 Of course, Russia is run by an educated and accomplished thug.  Putin’s education is as a mining engineer and lawyer, and his background is as a Soviet master spy in the old East Germany.  He speaks German and English fluently in public, and as an educated European, he probably is also fluent in French and Polish, the latter a sister Slavic language.

 Russia’s Prime Minister, or number two these days is Mikhail Mishustin, who has advanced degrees in systems engineering, and a background in government tax administration and private investment.

 s, but run by a charismatic thug, whose people love him.  When I was in Russia in 2017, Putin had an 83% approval rating.  He could do no wrong.

 Iran, similarly, is a relatively weak country, but which is a continuing danger because of their sponsorship of international terrorism.  They are a reginal threat to Israel, because Iran supplies rockets to Hamas and Hezbollah to be used against Israel.  Currently, some of these rockets are funded by payments from the U.S. to Iran.  In spite of Biden’s and Kerry’s weak and ineffective efforts based on bribes to the contrary, there is no doubt that Iran will soon emerge as a dangerous nuclear power.

 The Chinese communists are something else.  They are the greatest threat to the hegemony of the U.S. and the west in the world.  They are an oligarchic, totalitarian one-party, communist dictatorship, with Xi Jinping now as “President in Perpetuity”.  When I visited China in 2015, I was impressed by the order of their society, the rapid building expansion of their cities and infrastructure, and their foreign economic expansion, particularly their Belt and Road Initiative.

 The Chinese communists have a massive military, with similarly massive nuclear and ICBM capabilities. They are a totalitarian and monolithic country, controlling every aspect of their people’s lives, including how many children a couple can have.  Facial recognition cameras track the movements of urban people.  Minorities, like the Uighurs and Christians are segregated and many incarcerated in concentration camps.  China domestically, is a completely subjugated and controlled society.

 Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council and China’s number two leader, are both educated men, and both veterans of “rural labor” during the Mao Zedong’s “Cultural Revolution”.  Xi’s time during the Cultural Revolution was particularly arduous, since his father was denounced and thrown into prison, and Xi was forced to fend for himself at a young age.

 Xi Jinping’s original education is as a Chemical Engineer.   Li Keqiang has a law degree, and an advanced degree in economics.  Both men worked their way up through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party to their present positions of power.  Most of the rest of the politburo are similarly educated as economists, engineers and businessmen, and have comparable communist credentials. 

 Their MBA’s and PhD’s place the Chinese leadership about as far from revolutionaries as one can get.  Their aim is to make China the dominant economic and political power in the world, and they are working strenuously toward that end.

 The Chinese like to say “We have been art this for seven or eight millennia. Some millennia have been good for China, and some have been not so good.  We are making sure that this millennium is a good one for China.”

 If this country, and particularly the Biden administration, does not acknowledge China as the real danger she is toward the western world, as the Trump administration did, we had all better start learning Mandarin, like John Cena’s apology to the CCP.
