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.
中国が債務増加していることはたしかです。ただ日本の例を日銀資金循環報告でみると家計、320兆円、民間非金融機関1,785兆円、一般政府 1,284兆円となります。合算すると3,300兆円にもなり、GDPの600%を超えています。 https://www.boj.or.jp/statistics/sj/sjexp.pdf この記事の統計と同じ考え方で数値を採用しているのかどうか気になります。 加えて、この資金循環報告に書かれている海外資産というのが内数なのか外数なのか?私にはよくわかりません。当然海外債務も結構な額になります。一度日銀資金循環 図表1を見てください。詳しい方に教えていただければ。 この中国のたどる道は昔のソ連とかMMTと同様で、自国通貨ならいくら発行しても倒産はしない、というか為政者が痛みに耐えることができず緩和を続けるというものです。でも最終的には限界点に達します。ソ連は建国から崩壊まで70年かかりました。 自由主義経済なら立ち行かなくなった企業は退場してもらうというのが減速なのですが、これがうまくゆかないわけです。 でも日本は中国のはるか先を言っているように見えます。ちょっと検索したのですが、日本の債務に関しては政府債務に言及したものばかりで、この記事のように民間、個人まで総合的に記載しているのは日銀の資金循環統計しか見つけることができませんでした。 China Continues To Pile Debt On Top Of More Debt Written by Jesse Colombo | Feb, 27, 2019 Like many countries, China attempted to rein in its debt growth over the past couple years, but ultimately gave up and is now back to piling on even more debt.

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...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう "On The Precipice" by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/24/2019 - 14:30 Authored by Kevin Ludolph via Crescat Capital, Dear Investors: The US stock market is retesting its all-time highs at record valuations yet again. We strongly believe it is poised to fail. The problem for bullish late-cycle momentum investors trying to play a breakout to new highs here is the oncoming freight train of deteriorating macro-economic conditions. 米国株式は記録的バリエーションのもとで再度過去最高を試している。私どもはこれが失敗すると強く信じている。景気拡大終盤で強気のモメンタム投資家が新高値を試そうとしていることの問題は、マクロ経済条件の悪化にある。 US corporate profit growth, year-over-year, for the S&P 500 already fully evaporated in the first quarter of 2019 and is heading toward outright decline for the full year based on earnings estimate revision trends.

Powell Keeps The Bond Bull Kicking Written by Lance Roberts | Mar, 21, 2019 In a widely expected outcome, the Federal Reserve announced no change to the Fed funds rate but did leave open the possibility of a rate hike next year. Also, they committed to stopping “Quantitative Tightening (or Q.T.)” by the end of September. 多くの人が予想したとおり、FEDはFFR変更をしないだけでなく来年も不明とした。さらには、QTを9月末に終えると約束した。 The key language from yesterday’s announcement was: 昨日の発表の重要な部分はこういう具合だ: “ Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the labor market remains strong but that growth of economic activity has slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter . Payroll employment was little changed in February, but job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. 「1月のFOMC以来の情報を分析すると、労働市場は強いがQ4に比べると経済成長は鈍化している。2月の雇用環境にほとんど変化がなかった、ここ数ヶ月確実に雇用は増えている、そして失業率は低いままだ。 Recent indicators point to s...
