What Did U.S. Intel Really Know About The ‘Chinese’ Virus?

By Pepe Escobar

Investigative journalist Pepe Escobar

Hybrid War 2.0 on China, a bipartisan U.S. operation, is already reaching fever pitch. Its 24/7 full spectrum infowar arm blames China for everything coronavirus-related – doubling as a diversionist tactic against any informed criticism of woeful American unpreparedness.

Hysteria predictably reigns. And this is just the beginning.

A deluge of lawsuits is imminent – such as the one in the Southern District of Florida entered by Berman Law Group (linked to the Democrats) and Lucas-Compton (linked to the Republicans). In a nutshell: China has to shell out tons of cash. To the tune of at least $1.2 trillion, which happens to be – by surrealist irony – the amount of U.S. Treasury bills held by Beijing, all the way to $20 trillion, claimed by a lawsuit in Texas.

The prosecution’s case, as Scott Ritter memorably reminded us, is straight out of Monty Python. It works exactly like this:

“If she weighs the same as a duck…

…she’s made of wood!”

“And therefore…”

“A witch!!!!!”

In Hybrid War 2.0 terms, the current CIA-style narrative translates as evil China never telling us, the civilized West, there was a terrible new virus around. If they did, we would have had time to prepare.

And yet they lied and cheated – by the way, trademark CIA traits, according to Mike “We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal” Pompeo himself. And they hid everything. And they censored the truth. So they wanted to infect us all. Now they have to pay for all the economic and financial damage we are suffering, and for all our dead people. It’s China’s fault.

All this sound and fury forces us to refocus back to late 2019 to check out what U.S. intel really knew then about what would later be identified as Sars-Cov-2.

“No such product exists”

The gold standard remains the ABC News report according to which intel collected in November 2019 by the National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), a subsidiary of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), was already warning about a new virulent contagion getting out of hand in Wuhan, based on “detailed analysis of intercepted communications and satellite imagery”.

An unnamed source told ABC, “analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event”, adding the intel was “briefed multiple times” to the DIA, the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, and even the White House.

No wonder the Pentagon was forced to issue the proverbial denial – in Pentagonese, via one Col. R. Shane Day, the director of the DIA’s NCMI: “In the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists.”

Well, if such “product” existed, Pentagon head and former Raytheon lobbyist Mark Esper would be very much in the loop. He was duly questioned about it by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

Question: “Did the Pentagon receive an intelligence assessment on COVID in China last November from the National Center for Medical Intelligence of DIA?”

Esper: “Oh, I can’t recall, George,” (…) “But, we have many people who watch this closely.”

Question: “This assessment was done in November, and it was briefed to the NSC in early December to assess the impact on military readiness, which, of course, would make it important to you, and the possible spread in the United States. So, you would have known if there was a brief to the National Security Council in December, wouldn’t you?”

Esper: “Yes (…) “I’m not aware of that.”

So “no such product exists” then? Is it a fake? Is it a Deep State/CIA concoction to trap Trump? Or are the usual suspects lying, trademark CIA style?

Let’s review some essential background. On November 12, a married couple from Inner Mongolia was admitted to a Beijing hospital, seeking treatment for pneumonic plague.

Taboo 2020: Larry Romanoff – Covert Biological Warfare And COVID-19 Earth Lockdown.

By Jerry Alatalo

“It is necessary that the prince should know how to color his nature well, and how to be a hypocrite and dissembler. For men are so simple, and yield so much to immediate necessity, that the deceiver will never lack dupes.” The Prince (1513)

Larry Romanoff shares explosive pandemic facts during a mind-numbing ‘Guns and Butter’ interview

eaders who rely for information on the Canadian world affairs website Global Research will already be aware of one of their increasingly prominent contributors, based on his articles focused around the pandemic, Larry Romanoff. Some of Mr. Romanoff’s recent article titles include:

• “China’s Coronavirus: A Shocking Update, Did the Virus Originate in the US? Japan, China and Taiwan Reports on the Origin of the Virus”
• “Humanity at the Crossroads – Connecting the Dots to Our Brave New World”
• “Why Is the US Apparently Not Testing for the COVID-19 Coronavirus?”  

Among the topics discussed in the ground-breaking, powerful, 60-minutes roller-coaster interview of Larry Romanoff with longtime Guns and Butter host Bonnie Faulkner:

• Six unexplained viral outbreaks in China during the trade war necessitating US imports
• Research into the origins of the coronavirus
• Gene sequencing of all of the different strains
• All strains existing only in the US
• Wuhan Seafood Market was not the origin of the virus
• Wuhan BSL4 lab is not a bioweapons lab
• Over 1,000 leaks from US BSL 3 and 4 labs in five years
• Enormous Ft. Detrick bioweapons lab (1,000,000 square feet) shutdown for 6 months
• China virus 100% Chinese specific, same with SARS
• Harvard kicked out of China for illegally collecting Chinese DNA
• CDC ordered American physicians not to test for coronavirus
• Italy and Iran geopolitical targets
• CDC produced flawed tests and then none at all
• CDC part of the US military
• Economic devastation.

Needless to say, the assertions Mr. Romanoff makes in his articles and in this particular interview are stupendous (perhaps immeasurable is the more accurate descriptive) as measured in historic magnitude. In addition, it is needless to say Mr. Romanoff’s assertions raise questions which seem impossible for highest-level world leaders to any longer avoid.

Will his very serious assertions remain ignored and/or unaddressed, leading people to lean strongly toward understanding what Mr. Romanoff has written and spoken has a foundation in reality, thus revealing the maximally discouraging fact that humanity faces the most disturbing situation imaginable?

Or will the world’s most powerful and influential leaders meet the boldest of events-narrative challenges from Larry Romanoff in a time of historic uncertainty, and take those actions which reflect the zenith of courage and moral character necessary to deal fearlessly and straight on with a civilization-threatening, unprecedented, direst state of worldly affairs?

In a time of uncertainty, people may or may not find some small comfort in knowing this: Answers to these most important-of-important questions will arrive in the near future, – manifesting in one outcome or another. Unfortunately, due to current worldwide circumstances, an unprecedented number of men and women around the Earth now have ample time to think deeply on these unbelievably vital matters.

Peace.
