“How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly.”
― From " Wives and Daughters ", by Elizabeth Gaskell, 1864
The words " mystery ", " baffled " and " puzzled" are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything.
That’s why a news story below from January of this year is headlined “What we know about the mysterious , pneumonia-like coronavirus spreading in China and elsewhere.”
While a current news article below, from the U.K., reads " One poll by YouGov and the Economist in March 2020 found 13% of Americans believed the Covid-19 crisis was a hoax, for example, while a whopping 49% believed the epidemic might be man-made."
Did you notice that they violated strict journalistic rules by putting the larger percentage after the smaller one? That’s because they’re desperately trying to minimize it and downplay it. 49%! My eyes popped when I saw that number. 49% is at the, wait for it, tipping point of becoming a majority. Everybody is getting to know what’s up.
Aside: I hate the meme " tipping point ".
The author says that “a whopping 49% believed the epidemic might be man-made”, deliberately substituting the word " epidemic ", which is general, for “the Covid-19 virus”, which is specific. In propaganda terms, they’ve “walked it back” a step.
Early on, the gaudily written limited hangout was foisted upon us with the guy saying " it came from Wuhan - the bat pissed and crapped on the guy at the lab "…it’s “What To Think”.
Then the Harvard douche story broke:
February 18, 2020 - Was Charles Lieber Arrested for Selling the COVID-19 Coronavirus to China ?
Where " selling " deliberately obscures an obvious joint operation. He’s the chair of Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology - arrested by the Feds and charged with “lying to the Department of Defense about secret monthly payments of $50,000.00 paid by China and receipt of millions more to help set up a chemical/biological “Research” laboratory in China.”
It was completely memory holed. Meaning it is “What Not To Think”. Here’s the perpetrator:

He certainly looks the part. What a twisted little shit of a man.
We’ll see what happens to him. I’m guessing someone fingered him in a way where they couldn’t not take him in. If he keeps his job at Harvard, his guilt is proven. If he loses his job at Harvard, he’s still guilty, but we’ll know he’s the “fall guy”, the Patsy.
“Us-vs.-them” worked for all history. Of late, the method has been changed to “us against nature”. If humanity responded in this precise way to new, only coincidentally-mutated, naturally-occurring virii that killed 1 to 2% of those afflicted (or 2-4%, if you like) every economy on Earth would collapse. Which, I suggest, is the end-game. New Feudalism.
It’s wholesale class warfare. Those at the top of the pyramid get to keep their jobs, work remotely. Drive to the supermarket, literally pick up some lobsters, drive home, log on and take all the time in the world to figure out how to perfect the souffle they’re making for dessert. Maybe binge-watch some Zombie shows.
A friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook with the caption saying something about being shut in, and “takeout Pho and Henny”. The pic of the takeout bag next to a bottle of Hennessy, the “Henny” draped next to her thigh on the cream leather seat of the Benz they were riding home in. And anyone who knows me knows that I love Pho, Henny, Benz’s, high quality leather seating, and the friends posting the picture. They’re playing by the rules, they’re coloring inside the lines.
Cons, short for " Confidence Games ", are executed by malicious people who take advantage of the innocent. For the criminal scam to work, one first has to have trust in the person running the con. One has to have “confidence” in them.
When cons collapse, they do so in a rush, like a house of cards. The con artists are found out, or " made ", and have to “beat it”. Meaning quickly leave town, before they’re beaten to death by the angry mob of people they took advantage of.
And, once a majority of people feel a certain way, things change. Even today, while some subset of people still wish slavery were legal, the majority view is now “slavery is illegal.”
They say the hardest part of solving a problem is admitting that you have one. I think it’s easy to agree that we should live without engineered virii being regularly released upon the human and animal populations of the Earth. And the 49% statistic shows that seems to be becoming the majority view.
Evil regimes topple from power. Evil regimes are toppled from power.
It’s a thing that happens.

January 25, 2020 - What we know about the mysterious , pneumonia-like coronavirus spreading in China and elsewhere
February 18, 2020 - Was Charles Lieber Arrested for Selling the COVID-19 Coronavirus to China?
(Whitewashes an obvious joint operation. Acts as if he stole it off a shelf in Washington and sold it on the black market to China. Farcical. - ed)
The arrest of a Harvard professor fueled conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 coronavirus disease outbreak in 2020.
(Where “Outbreak” is an extreme hedge back from “pandemic”. Shameful. - ed)
In case you missed it, today, Federal Agents arrested Dr. Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, with lying to the Department of Defense about secret monthly payments of $50,000.00 paid by China and receipt of millions more to help set up a chemical/biological “ Research ” laboratory in China.
(Omits “Wuhan”, covering it with the general "in China ". " Millions more " is general. If you were an honest reporter, you’d lead with the larger figure, printing it exactly, and analyze it, then get to the $50K per month. “Research”? What type of research? More generality, more propaganda. - ed)
Also arrested were two Chinese “Students” working as research assistants, one of whom was actually a lieutenant in the Chinese Army, the other captured at Logan Airport as he tried to catch a flight to China – smuggling 21 vials of “Sensitive Biological Samples” according to the FBI.
(" Sensitive biological samples " is general. How was this known? More propaganda. - ed)
Oh, almost forgot. The research lab the good professor had helped set up? It’s located at the Wuhan University of Technology. Wuhan China is ground zero to the potentially global pandemic known as the “Coronavirus”which is both spreading rapidly and killing people.
(Pretends to have “forgotten” to use the word “Wuhan” earlier in the article. It makes the mouth-breather reader feel like Sherlock Holmes, like they discovered something. - ed)
This is Stephen Coonts international spy novel stuff happening in real life – and it has barely made the news.
April 6, 2020 - Why smart people believe coronavirus myths
From students to politicians, many smart people have fallen for dangerous lies spread about the new coronavirus. Why? And how can you protect yourself from misinformation?
It is a sad truth that any health crisis will spawn its own pandemic of misinformation.
In the 80s, 90s, and 2000s we saw the spread of dangerous lies about Aids – from the belief that the HIV virus was created by a government laboratory to the idea that the HIV tests were unreliable, and even the spectacularly unfounded theory that it could be treated with goat’s milk. These claims increased risky behaviour and exacerbated the crisis.
Now, we are seeing a fresh inundation of fake news – this time around the coronavirus pandemic. From Facebook to WhatsApp, frequently shared misinformation include everything from what caused the outbreak to how you can prevent becoming ill.
There’s evidence these ideas are sticking. One poll by YouGov and the Economist in March 2020 found 13% of Americans believed the Covid-19 crisis was a hoax, for example, while a whopping 49% believed the epidemic might be man-made . And while you might hope that greater brainpower or education would help us to tell fact from fiction, it is easy to find examples of many educated people falling for this false information.
(Can you see how they used the general " what caused the outbreak", to walk it back from having to state “created by a government laboratory”? As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. The author says that “a whopping 49% believed the epidemic might be man-made”, deliberately substituting “the epidemic”, which is more general, for the word “virus”, which is specific. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. - ed)
