What Did
U.S. Intel Really Know About the ‘Chinese’ Virus?
By Pepe

Hybrid War
2.0 on China, a bipartisan U.S. operation, is
already reaching fever pitch. Its 24/7 full spectrum
infowar arm blames China for everything coronavirus-related
– doubling as a diversionist tactic against any
informed criticism of woeful American
unpreparedness.
Hysteria
predictably reigns. And this is just the beginning.
A deluge of
lawsuits is imminent – such as the one in the
Southern District of Florida entered by Berman Law
Group (linked to the Democrats) and Lucas-Compton
(linked to the Republicans). In a nutshell: China
has to shell out tons of cash. To the tune of at
least $1.2 trillion, which happens to be – by
surrealist irony – the amount of U.S. Treasury bills
held by Beijing, all the way to $20 trillion,
claimed by a lawsuit in Texas.
The
prosecution’s case, as Scott Ritter memorably
reminded us, is straight out of
Monty Python. It
works exactly like this:
“If she
weighs the same as a duck…
…she’s made
of wood!”
“And
therefore…”
“A
witch!!!!!”
In Hybrid
War 2.0 terms, the current CIA-style narrative
translates as evil China never telling us, the
civilized West, there was a terrible new virus
around. If they did, we would have had time to
prepare.
