COVID-19: Ecological, Historical and Geopolitical

- The novel coronavirus pandemic
(COVID-19) that is threatening modern civilization
today is a disaster that was bound to happen mainly
because of human folly. This is an inevitable
consequence of the dominance of a neoliberal,
national security state doctrine with a
military-industrial complex pushing for perpetual
war and corporate globalization. This has devastated
entire ecosystems, distorted medical science and
disempowered communities.
This power
elite doctrine is the root cause of the increasingly
serious cases of emerging infectious diseases over
the past 40 years or so—coinciding with the
destruction of our ecosphere, gross disrespect of
the intimate relationship between humans and the
environment, and the reductionist thinking about
infectious diseases and health.
Despite
the fact that scientific evidence clearly shows that
viruses and other microbes are largely friends and
have been playing a significant role in the
evolution and survival of all life forms in our
entire ecosystem, 1 2 the
power elite institutions and their agents have
declared these microbes as mortal enemies that
deserve to be eliminated. Microbes and their
elements are in fact essential components of the
human biological entity and perform critical
physiologic functions that maintain homeostasis and
a robust immune system. 3 4 Rather
than cultivating harmony and co-existence, most
humans have declared total war against them. This
belligerent attitude is also a result of a largely
mistaken understanding of infectious disease and
illness propagated by a reductionist medical
paradigm which fails to recognize that illness is in
fact a disruption of the harmony between humans and
their physical, chemical, biological, spiritual and
social environment.5 Thus, the distorted,
corporate-controlled medical science have pushed for
mass vaccinations with the aim of total elimination
despite scientific evidence that mass vaccinations
do more harm than good.6 7
Furthermore, the military-industrial complex have
been, for several decades, converting and harnessing
microbes as “weapons of mass destruction” of people
perceived to be their enemies.
It is logical
to consider that a secret bioweapons program is a
major proximal causative driving factor that created
this coronavirus pandemic. There were in fact
numerous clear warning signals that this was bound
to happen but these were ignored and nonchalantly
dismissed. As early as 1970, a World Health
Organization (WHO) group of consultants in their
comprehensive report on chemical and biological
weapons noted that “a virulent mutant (microbe)…
could spread rapidly to produce an uncontrollable
epidemic on a large scale.” In addition, they warned
that there was the “ever-present risk of an
accidental escape.” 8 Indeed this
prediction was prescient. A list of biolab accidents
compiled by the Stop the Biolab Movement in
Boston, USA showed more than 50 biolab accidents
from 1985-2007, occurring mostly in the US,
including 7 accidents involving the United States
Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases (USAMRIID).9
Despite the clear dangers to public health, the US
Federal government has dramatically increased US
research and development activity and infrastructure
focused on biological weapons agents. More than two
dozen large new high-containment research facilities
were funded specifically to work with bioweapons
agents, according to the Center for Arms Control and
Non-Proliferation. “When more dangerous research is
performed by more people in more locations, there
are simply more opportunities for significant
biosafety or biosecurity breaches to occur… Worse,
if the accident involves an agent such as the 1918
influenza virus, which was reconstructed at the US
Center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2005, it could
start a global pandemic,” it added.10
USAMRIID itself recorded a total of 128 incidents
occurring from 2016 to 2018, with seven incidents of
potential biological exposures. Some risk of
exposure to infectious agents and/or toxins may have
occurred, and has resulted in precautionary medical
surveillance of the personnel involved.11
