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 Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians.

Class 8 Heavy Truck Orders Crash 68% in January by Tyler Durden Wed, 02/06/2019 - 17:25 Among the latest dismal news about the strength of the US economy, on Tuesday ACT Research released preliminary truck orders for January 2019 which showed that Class 8 truck orders collapsed an astounding 68% for January. The decline is being attributed to a 300,000+ vehicle backlog potentially prompting fleets to halt purchases in the near term. 米国経済に関し最近憂鬱なニュースが多い中で、火曜にACT researchが2019年1月のトラック発注を開示した、1月にClass 8のトラック発注がなんと68%も急落した。この発注減は短期的に300,000台超の潜在在庫を生み出す。 Specifically, in January Class 8 net orders were 15,800 units (14,700 SA; 176,400 SAAR), down 68% YoY and down 26% MoM. Class 5- 7 January net orders were 23,400...
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれておきました。 Fed’s Risky QE4 Stock Ramp Adam Hamilton January 31, 2020 3567 Words The US stock markets dramatically surged mostly in a straight line since mid-October. This extraordinary rally started when the Federal Reserve announced it would resume expanding its balance sheet for the first time in years. The deluge of new liquidity from that quantitative-easing bond buying has again acted like rocket fuel for stock markets. After shooting vertically they are in real trouble when the Fed pulls back. In early October the flagship US S&P 500 stock index (SPX) slumped to 2888. That was a mild 4.6% pullback from late July’s latest record high. The SPX was still having a great year though, up 15.2% year-to-date at that point thanks to extreme Fed easing . After the SPX had plunged 19.8% mostly in Q4’18 in a severe near-bear cor...
一定のエネルギーが外部から流入する系ではその流入量が普遍一定でも、散逸構造、自己組織化をすることが知られています。散逸構造では空間時間的な周期構造が生じます。たとえば隔離された無人島にうさぎときつねを放した場合、時間とともに均衡値に近づきますが、完全な定常状態にはならずその前後で周期的な変動が起きます、うさぎを捕食しすぎてが減るとキツネの食料が減りキツネの個体数上昇には限界が生じ、その後うさぎの個体数が増えます。うさぎの数もその島の植物総量に限界があります。 株式市場にも30年前後のバリュエーション変動があります。管理人はこの原因はたぶん投資家の世代交代に起因するものだと感じています。多くの人の投資寿命は30年前後です。私を含めて現在投資をしている人は英國や日本で政府債務解消のための金融抑圧など記憶にもないでしょう、学校の歴史でも教えてくれません。あの米国でも金本位制のなかで国民からゴールドを強制買い上げし、ゴールド価格を改定したり個人がゴールド保有を長年禁止していたことを多くの人は知らないでしょう。少なくとも私は学校の歴史で習った覚えがありません。 また大統領任期に関連した8年前後の変動があります、政党は政権を維持するために選挙に向けて財政刺激策を行いますが選挙後にはこれが息切れします。大統領選挙前数ヶ月の株価動向と選挙結果、民主共和転換、の相関は90%を超えています。トランプのときもそうでした、YellenはFRB議長としては珍しい熱心な民主党員で、FEDバランスシート正常化の先送り、二回目の金利引き上げの先送りをしたのですが、2016年秋には株価が徐々に下落してしまいました。 次に短いのが1年の変動で気候に関する人の気分や新学期・新年度に関するものです。もっと短いのが週間の変動で、月曜や金曜は特異的な動きをします。こういう繰り返しは左の参考図書「市場のサイクルは永遠に」に解説されています。 Are We In A Secular Bull Market?
