Another
bombshell "conspiracy" raising serious questions over the coronavirus
pandemic and China's biological weapons research and espionage programs
goes mainstream.
A now viral investigative report based on a newly released FBI document authored by no less than the Chemical and Biological Intelligence Unit of the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD) finds that a
Chinese scientist was caught under extremely suspicious circumstances
transporting vials believed to contain the deadly MERS and SARS viruses
into the United States.
Illustrative file image via USA Today“In late November 2018, just over a year before the first
coronavirus case was identified in Wuhan, China, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection agents at Detroit Metro Airport stopped a Chinese biologist
with three vials labeled 'Antibodies' in his luggage,” the lengthy report by Yahoo News begins.
“Inspection of the writing on the vials and the stated recipient led
inspection personnel to believe the materials contained within the vials
may be viable Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) materials,” the report reads.
The unnamed scientist claimed he was asked to deliver the vials to a
US institute, though the FBI report also fails to identify the
recipient. “But the FBI concluded that the incident, and two other cases cited in the report, were part of an alarming pattern,” Yahoo News reports.
“The Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate assesses foreign
scientific researchers who transport undeclared and undocumented
biological materials into the United States in their personal carry-on
and/or checked luggage almost certainly present a US biosecurity risk,” the FBI report states.
“The WMDD makes this assessment with high confidence based on liaison reporting with direct access,” the FBI report adds.
「WMDOはこの見立てを確信している、」とFBIの報告書は加える。
The
report cites US military experts who speculate it could be part of a
broader Chinese program aimed at stealing US state secrets and research,
and further that such foreign nationals caught with the materials might
be unwitting mules, but regardless the case is part of an "alarming
pattern".
Other additional and more recent instances detailed in the report,
such as in September 2019, detailed a separate case of a Chinese
national's attempt to sneak vials of H1N1 influenza samples into Dallas.
Needless to say, as we reviewed precisely in past reporting related
to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its 'coincidental' proximity to
the market where COVID-19 is claimed to have first emerged, the
potential for deadly pathogens to 'escape' through mishandling during
such haphazard airport trips by individuals trying to sneak vials across
borders is high.
And this is where the Yahoo News report pivots to the subject and main questions of our own reporting of two months ago, which readers may remember, was deeply triggering for Buzzfeed
and others who set themselves up as gatekeepers policing and ensuring
acceptance of only what they narrowly deem 'acceptable' analysis and
questions: "the FBI appears to be concerned with dual-use research that would be used for bioterrorism,"the report emphasizes.
Digging deeper into what we were all told is supposed to be a mere deranged conspiracy theory the Yahoo News authors then make the direct connection between COVID-19 and the aforementioned potential for bioterrorism:
The report, which came out more than two months before the
World Health Organization learned of a cluster of pneumonia cases in
Wuhan that turned out to be COVID-19, appears to be part of a larger FBI
concern about China’s involvement with scientific research in the U.S. While the report refers broadly to foreign researchers, all three cases cited involve Chinese nationals.
And just to underscore further potentially what we're dealing with in
terms of likely threats, the FBI itself said it approached and
investigated the Detroit MERS/SARS airport case and others ultimately
out of biosecurity and bioterrorism concerns.
我々が直面する潜在的脅威を過小評価しているに過ぎないが、FBI自身はこう言う、デトロイト空港でのMERS/SARS事件を調べてみて、他にもバイオセキュリティが欠如しており、バイオテロが懸念される。
"The FBI report refers to both biosecurity, which typically refers to the intentional misuse of pathogens, such as for bioterrorism, and biosafety, which covers accidental release. The FBI declined to comment on the report,"it continues.
So it now appears the FBI itself has long been closely following
Chinese military bioweapons research as well as dangerous pathogens'
mishandling and 'misuse' in relation to unique deadly respiratory
viruses, and asking the relevant and obvious questions. Glad to know
we're not alone.
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Albert Edwards: This Was The Final Recessionary Shoe, And It Has Now Fallen by Tyler Durden Thu, 06/27/2019 - 12:45 Exactly three months ago, in late March, the 3 month-10 year spread inverted for the first time since 2007... ちょうど3か月前の3月遅くのことだ、3M10Yスプレッドが2007年以来初めて反転した・・・・ ... an event which sparked near-panic in the market as historically curve inversion has preceded the last 7 recessions. ・・・市場は準混乱状態になった、というのも歴史的に見てイールドカーブ反転が過去7回の景気後退の前兆となっているからだ。 However, while the inversion was certainly a memorable event, the question on everyone's lips is how do risk assets perform once the curve flattens and/or inverts. According to backtests from Goldman, since the mid-1980s, significant stock drawdowns (i.e. market crashes) began only when term slope started steepening after being inverted. ...
Is The Stock Market As Confused As You Are About A Recession? Written by Lance Roberts | Apr, 1, 2019 Last week, Barron’s ran an article entitled “The Stock Market Is Just As Confused About A Potential Recession As You Are?” To wit: 先週バロンズにこういう記事が掲載された「株式市場は景気後退を予感させるほどに混乱しているだろうか?」見てみよう: “Investors have long used where we are in the economic cycle to decide which stocks to buy and sell. New research from Nomura’s Joseph Mezrich flips that on its head by showing how investors can use stock performance to help determine where we are in the cycle. Too bad the market is sending mixed messages right now.” 長らく投資家は現在景気サイクルのどこに居るかを見てこの株式を売るか買うかを判断してきた。野村證券のJoseph Mezrichの最近の研究では、これが逆さで、投資家は株式のパフォーマンスを見て今景気サイクルのどこにいるかを判断している。最悪なことに現在相場は悪化改善混在のメッセージを送っている。」 But let’s be clear here; no one wants the party to end. So, despite a struggling stock market over the last year, slowing economic growth, and a collapsing yield curve, there are s...
China Injects Gargantuan 1.1 Trillion In Liquidity This Week by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/16/2019 - 22:19 Following what Bloomberg calculated was a record net reverse repo liquidity injection on Wednesday, when the PBOC injected a whopping 560 billion yuan of liquidity into the financial system via open market operations, the Chinese central bank has done it again and in Thursday's open market operation, it sold 250BN yuan in 7 Day repos (slightly below yesterday's record 350BN), and 150BN in 28 Day repos, which net of maturities resulted in a whopping net 380BN yuan ($56.2BN) liquidity injection. ブルームバーグの算出によると水曜に記録的なリバースレポ流動性注入が行われた、PBOCがなんと公開市場操作で金融システムになんと560B人民元を注入した、中国中央銀行は再び木曜に公開市場操作を行った、250B人民元の7日決済レポを売却した(昨日の350B人民元よりも少し少ない)、そして28日決済のレポを150B人民元注入した、結果としてなんと380B人民元($56.2B)の流動性注入となる。 (訳注:なんか足し算すると辻褄が合いません、ブルーム...
