Something is seriously amiss.
I tried to figure out what exactly as I was writing my previous thread, but it escaped me completely.
Today something clicked, with the Russians now officially claiming they have proof of US funded bioweapon research right at their doorstep (which, by itself, would be a casus belli).
I was wrestling with the triangle deep state, China, Russia. This is what they call ‘spitballing’, as I admit frankly that I don’t have much solid info to go on for several of my conjectures and assumptions, while other points are by now well established. So, for what it is worth.
Let’s back up a little, about 2 ago.
Suddenly, we hear stories about a new virus, potentially very deadly, with clips from people in China dropping dead on the streets, and medical personal in full hazmat suits collecting the bodies.
Then Trump closing the borders with China, a lot of back and forth’s about what to do/how to handle this, and then, on March 13, 2020, the first day of the lockdown, 1, perhaps 2 weeks, to ‘flatten the curve’.
(That really sounds absurd now, looking back, doesn’t it?)
Immediately, things did not make sense. The Chinese knew, much earlier. The videos about people dropping dead, and the hazmat teams? How do such teams appear so quickly? How do they know to come in hazmat suits? Why did the Chinese refuse to share their info on the genetic mapping of the virus? Why refusing to let virologists come to ground zero to search for patient zero? Etc.
Now, we have confirmation that the lab in Wuhan indeed was involved in dangerous research, involving gain of function. We have confirmation that the virus was around much longer than the official narrative let us believe (see the amazing work of EthicalSkeptic on Twitter and CognitiveCarbon on Telegram).
One of the questions to ask when shady business is going on, is ‘cui bono’? Who benefits? China benefitted greatly, selling billions in masks and tests and other things, as our economies were shutting down, worldwide, as they were getting out of it all. They bought up companies and such and gave aid (with strings attached, for sure) to countries that were hit hard with their economies shattered.
But then we started to hear about how Fauci and the NIH actually funded gain of function research. Not just in China, but also within the US! That Darpa had refused such projects, but that it was then shipped off to Wuhan.
This seemed to make more sense, as internally, the Democrats have benefitted immensely from Covid and the draconian measures, and seemingly limitless power it gave them to enact emergency laws, based on very loosely defined ‘emergency powers’. Including massive vote by mail schemes…
This appears to let the Chinese off the hook, and place the blame for this squarely back with our own deep state.
Then again, how infiltrated is ‘our own’ deep state with Chinese agents and influence? Some of the stories have detailed this, with the high ranked Chinese intelligence defector talking about tens of thousands of Chinese people within US academia, business, research and even politics, with various ties to the Chinese government and/or military.
Is our deep state aligned with the Chinese CCP? I don’t think they are identical, at all, as their final motives are very different, even opposed. But under the paradigm ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’, they seem to cooperate or at least pursue shared goals.
(Where each side doubtlessly believes they are ‘using’ the other side.)
Now, enter Russia and Ukraine.
Suddenly, we hear about several (not so secret) bioweapon labs within the borders of Ukraine, literally at the doorstep of Russia. I knew about the neo-Nazi militia there, but those bioweapon labs was new to me. (And not just in Ukraine, but all over the world, as well.)
Now, I am certain that there are perfectly legitimate reasons to operate a network of such biolabs. But now that we know that Fauci and his ilk funded and executed gain of function research, in violation of the moratorium on it, and against all caution, within the US, and in China, how can we know for sure that this wasn’t done elsewhere, also?
Granted, there is no direct evidence of bioweapon research going on in those labs in Ukraine. The US Embassy in Kiev described on their own website that one of the functions of those labs as ‘biological “threat reduction”’. Yeah, of course. And nothing else, right? Just like Fauci declared, under oath, that they were not involved in any gain of function research, right?
And all we have, so far, is a Russian official claim to have found an emergency cleansing directive by the Ukrainian government, sent to a few labs the Russians now have under their control, and prior warnings by Putin about US bio labs in Georgia and Ukraine.
But if the documents shown by Major General Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, are proven to be authentic, this changes yet another ‘conspiracy theory’ into proven fact.
And it changes everything, as well. Would the US tolerate a Chinese or Russian biolab in Canada or Mexico, near the border? When there is reasonable suspicion and perhaps intelligence indicating that those labs are used for research into dangerous, easily weaponized? Of course not.
Now, I am NOT saying that I think that Putin is working with Trump on some elaborate scheme to root out the deep state and their cronies in Ukraine. At all. But there might be interests that are aligned. It is easier for Putin to anticipate countries and their actions, much harder to act against hidden actors such as deep state agents and influencers, hiding behind sovereign states.
Or even much simpler: he wants to roll back the color revolution in Ukraine, and reorganize politics there, restoring Ukrainian independence from the power of foreign powers (be those states, or organizations).
It was very interesting to read about Putin paying off the Russian debt to some of those bankers in record speed, to be free from their meddling and influence, when he first came into power (who shared that article again, about Putin being an anti-globalist?)
So it is not unreasonable, I think, to assume that Putin saw his chance, with Biden in the White House, to clean ship.
Not just the NATO threat and restoring Ukrainian neutrality (even a Russia-leaning neutrality, who are we kidding?),
not just the threat of those labs (in light of Wuhan and the proven US funding of gain of function, no longer something to ignore),
but also the encroaching influence of deep state like actors, oligarchs, and bankers, united under the WEF or not?
I think those interests align for Putin, making this a perfect opportunity. Also to reassert the important of such geopolitics, in a political climate that is infected with the woke ideas of open borders and such, that completely lost track of the significance of secure borders, of strategic geopolitical considerations.
It is easy to put Putin away as a fossil, stuck in the 80s of the last century, while we are so much more advanced and don’t care about borders and such anymore. Reality, however, shows otherwise, as Poland and Hungary are proving within the EU, with success (look at the map showing immigration and terror attacks, for one).
Now, China.
They, too, are outside the US (or Western) Deep State [I really don’t think they are global, look at the WEF, for example: still very much centered on Western thought and philosophy, even if projecting globally].
They might be collaborating with the Russians, or at least supporting them, but they do not share their main goals. While the current sanctions against Russia are pushing them into China’s arms, and their own credit card system, this risks that China, Russia, and apparently also India move away from the Dollar.
This weakens the US, but what do Russia, China and India care, as long as they get away from a system that can be weaponized against them?
Back to China: there are claims floating around that China will step in to end corruption in Taiwan, including child trafficking and such. I never heard of Taiwan being a hub of such perversion before, but even if so, what do the Chinese care about such violations of human rights? Nothing. If anything, it is an excuse to finally annex Taiwan. So I reject all such rumors.
No, that unity between Trump, Putin and Xi against the deep state? Rubbish.
Putin and Xi don’t care much about what happens within our borders, as long as it weakens the US, and handicaps US diplomatic and strategic efforts, US prestige and influence, and US power projection abroad.
As Andre or Slag wrote: there is a cascade or alignment of events coming, faster and faster. This, I believe, is part of it.
What was Trump’s role in this all? He might have provoked or schemed to influence Putin, by showing strong support for Ukraine, even sending weapons, to goad Putin into taking his chance as soon as Trump was out of the way, and it became clear that he wasn’t returning anytime soon.
Yet he was against NATO membership, something Bush, Obama and now Biden seem to have pushed/push, even without actually sending weapons to Ukraine, what’s up with that?
(Researching this, I came across this article: look in the first paragraph how quickly ‘obvious fact’ has now been overturned, vindicating so many ‘anons’ and ‘conspiracy theorists:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/11/14/president-trump-ukraine-hearings-impeachment-nato-column/2555946001/ )
Perhaps there is more cooperation, supported by the fact that the Russian ambassador to the UN called Trump the rightful winner of the 2020 elections. Then again, everything is propaganda and kayfabe at the moment, and nothing can be taken at face value anymore.
Where is the time that ‘I had no sex with that woman’ simply meant that Bill was a sleazbag? Now Trump and Barr seem to be at it, against each other, for example, and somehow that is setting the stage for clearing Barr from Trump allegiances. Their claims don’t mean what they appear to mean. Same with the Russians. Same with just about everyone else.
So I think it is safe to summarize it like this:
A) Groups in the US funded gain of function (in violation), in the US, and in China (and Ukraine?).
B) There a virus ‘escaped’. Result: China expands influence, US breaks the election with mail in votes, among other things.
C) US funds biolabs in Ukraine, and does not deescalate by accepting that Ukraine should not become part of NATO.
D) Putin sees his opportunity, under a very weak Biden, to deal with a series of problems relating to or converging on Ukraine, including the thread posed by those labs.
(Red lines lose their meaning, if you keep drawing them, and never protect them…)
E) Putin and Xi seem to be pushed closer together in all this. But this is a strategic partnership of opportunity, not a deeper one, I think. (At least, not at this point).
F) Putin seems to counter certain globalist goals and means of power (such as decoupling from credit card and banking systems used in the West, and linking to China). Against the globalists, or out of self-preservation, the fact of it remains.
G) An emergent Trump presidency could and would fully upend this even further, and clean ship here as well, dealing a very strong blow against globalist inspirations, and to the support structures of their lackeys here in the US.
Separate lines of interest and threat response between Trump and Putin, but, for some part, aligning. Xi remains outside that, from what I can tell. (And where Putin will be content with making his statement loud and clear through Ukraine, and not aspire to more conquest, I think China has her sights on the world, directly or indirectly: a whole different type of enemy.)
I am very excited and curious to see how the next year(s) will unfold, and how draining the swamp in the US will ripple through the world. Can’t come fast enough, even though I am weary about how a more and more desperate deep state might lash out as it feels the noose tighten.
