Missing big picture, errors abound

Some pretty big picture issues are smothered with irrelevant small-time distractions, compounded by erroneous talking points and narratives.

An update on the Wuhan-to-Omicron flu virus: “COVID-19 Was CCP ‘Biological Warfare,’ New Research Group Says,” by Jackson Elliot (theepochtimes.com), paints a devastating (to China apologists) picture. It was not a naturally-occurring “bat virus” spread at a Chinese “wet market” in Wuhan, nor an accidental release of the virus from a Wuhan Virology lab studying the virus.

Many suspect intentional manipulation of viral characteristics, released into unsuspecting world populations for a diabolical scheme: Weaken and devastate the primary adversaries and impediments to Chinese world domination, primarily the United States. The Center for Security Policy (CSP) has concluded that “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used COVID-19 for biological warfare…

“Generals, medical and foreign policy experts, including former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra and former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Lieutenant General William “Jerry” Boykin, contributed to the report, which is available in book form on Amazon.

“The report, titled ‘The CCP is at War with America,’ stated that there is no evidence COVID-19 was a natural virus, arguing that there is significant evidence it came from a CCP lab. It also stated that the CCP deliberately allowed the virus to spread worldwide by allowing international flights while locking down movement within China.”

Many “experts”—from U.S. intelligence agencies to the World Health Organization to the CDC and Drs. Fauci, Birx, Walensky, and endless “knowledgeable” panels on news media—advanced erroneous conclusions. It’s now likely that they were all, knowingly or not, part of the smokescreen and “gaslighting” effort to give the CCP every benefit of the doubt over the origin of COVID.

Absolving the perpetrators of culpability for what was perhaps the most malevolent act of undeclared war in recorded history—that’s the legacy of that duplicitous dwarf, Doctor (treats-no-patients) Anthony Fauci and the China sycophants at the World Health Organization. We may never know the full penetration of Chinese spies, double and sleeper agents, and thinly-veiled China-philes into America’s health establishment at the highest levels.

“Follow the money” proves, once again, the corrupting influence of “payola” over vaccines, preferred and approved treatments vs. disapproved (though long accepted by FDA) drugs like HCQ and Ivermectin, and the profiting by those trading on their authority and “expertise” for lucrative sinecures.

This column and many others called into question those very “authorities” for their disingenuous and shameless refusal to level with the American people about every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic: the mask and vaccine mandates, shutdowns, lockdowns, school closures, persecution of churches and dissenters and despotism foisted on the formerly freest people on earth.

The CSP research and report took the genetic features of COVID, together with China’s military biological warfare program, plus the way they restricted internal travel but allowed their citizens to travel abroad—to draw their conclusion that it was undoubtedly biological warfare meant to reduce America’s ability to resist China’s advancing domination of the world. Very Big Picture intentionally obfuscated by our authorities.

“We must never again allow our constitutional freedoms to be denied on the pretext of a public health emergency, especially at the insistence of foreign powers, let alone our mortal enemy,” the report stated.

A related “big picture” emerges from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). It has proven to be an irrefutable record of the deleterious side-effects and reactions to the vaccines, including 29,790 official deaths and a multitude of heart-related and other vaccine-implicated effects (1.3 million reports) in many young and working-age people with no prior conditions. See “The Feds Pile Up Vaccine ‘Adverse Event’ Reports as They Decry Scaremongering Elsewhere,” by Clayton Fox (realclearinvestigations.com, July 14).

“Big Picture” aspects of global warming, the so-called climate crisis, have become smothered by the talking points and endlessly-regurgitated narratives that “we’re killing the planet with greenhouse gases and we must end fossil fuels asap before…” whatever.

First, we are in no danger of running out of fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, coal—in this century, according to estimates of recoverable deposits in America and elsewhere. To argue that a supposedly limited supply is cause for a halt to the extraction, refinement and use of those fuels to continue our most-abundant-lifestyle-in-history—well, it’s just lunacy.

Look at Sri Lanka’s disastrous imposition of “green” agriculture sans fertilizers to see that the abundant food we take for granted can turn into famine and starvation in short order. Four meals, or just 96 hours, is all it takes to reduce humans to savagery, fighting over essentials. We don’t like enviros because they’ll get us killed.

It’s preposterous to think that solar panels and wind turbines can ever be anything other than a boutique, undependable power source for an advanced, industrial nation. The 5 percent of our energy they generate can never be scaled up to replace the fossil fuel sources. Even environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg believes we can more economically mitigate whatever effects come from a warming planet, compared to the trillions of dollars needed annually to cover the equivalent of entire states with panels and turbines that won’t work in darkness and no wind.

Finally, no computer models, however powerful, can come close to the predictive capacity to reliably forecast “the climate” any further than a couple of weeks from now. All computer predictions are bunk, bovine excrement dressed up as authoritative “science” with zero track record of past predictive accuracy—because they are “garbage in, garbage out” guestimates, as reliable as a crystal ball or a “Magic 8-Ball.”
