Weirdly, what you both have in common is that you both want to believe it's possible.

It is not. Period.

I have advanced degrees in all of this stuff, you can believe me or not, what's more likely though - the Chinese are trying to do something that would help them win a doomsday scenario, or they are just hoping that it might work and are wasting money because of the potential upside.

Anyone with cursory biological knowledge knows this is BS. The only people who would buy this are the futurist types that think humans are so much more advanced than they actually are, and the covidians who think sarscov2 is actually something dangerous, which it is not, according to the data regarding population level studies (it's a strong flu or common cold, period). These same people don't even realize the jabs are meant as the real biological weapon, because in both the short and long term, they do more damage and kill more people, especially when accounting for fertility and age.

I'll laugh if someone talks about how effective China can be if wiping out another country's 80 year olds. LOL!

My prediction, made almost 4 years ago, was that wave after wave of pandemics would sweep the world. The current waves of covid and the pandemics yet to come will sweep the entire world irrespective of differences in human biology.

My more specific predictions would be:
  • There will be a major global financial panic and crisis. Supply chains will break, resulting in unavailability of critical raw materials and components. Global trade will begin to shut down. As it begins to become apparent that the supply chain linkages are permanently broken, the global interlinked financial markets will shut down and cease to exist. This will all happen very quickly. It will not take years from the initial panic.
  • The focus of governments will turn to controlling their panicked and hungry populations. Due to lack of availability of imported goods and adequate storage "sufficient to reconstitute" a system consistent with nation state government, this will prove to be too little too late and most government will devolve to the local level as populations lose faith in their national governments and the national governments lose the resources and ability to control their populations.
  • There will be no large scale nuclear war. Instead, the population will be culled through starvation, local strife (including settling of long-standing scores) and disease. Wave after wave of pandemics will sweep the world.
  • Similar to national economies and governments, centralized utilities will fail or become so decrepit as to be unsafe and unusable. All centralized utilities including the power grid will shut down permanently.
  • The initial worldwide kill rate during the first couple decades following the financial panic will exceed 90%. The global population will be in the range of a few tens of millions when the bottom is hit in two or three centuries. Similar to the last dark age, the world's largest cities will have a population on the order of 25,000 and a large town will be 1,000.
  • Life during the coming dark age will be similar to the last dark age but worse due to environmental damage and pollution.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

This was PNAC's speculation in a report published in September 2000.
Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and sea will be vastly different than it is today, and “combat” likely will take place in new dimensions: in space, “cyber-space,” and perhaps the world of microbes. Air warfare may no longer be fought by pilots manning tactical fighter aircraft sweeping the skies of opposing fighters, but a regime dominated by long-range, stealthy unmanned craft. On land, the clash of massive, combined-arms armored forces may be replaced by the dashes of much lighter, stealthier and information-intensive forces, augmented by fleets of robots, some small enough to fit in soldiers’ pockets. Control of the sea could be largely determined not by fleets of surface combatants and aircraft carriers, but from land- and space-based systems, forcing navies to maneuver and fight underwater. Space itself will become a theater of war, as nations gain access to space capabilities and come to rely on them; further, the distinction between military and commercial space systems – combatants and noncombatants – will become blurred. Information systems will become an important focus of attack, particularly for U.S. enemies seeking to short-circuit sophisticated American forces. And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.

When I read this in the early 2000s, I wrote to an old friend who was a biology professor at the University of Maryland at College Park (near Fort Detrick) (she is now at Cornell) and asked her if she thought it would be theoretically possible for specific genotypes to be targeted with biological weapons. She never responded and I didn't try a second time.

It has been my belief that the Chinese read this report and took it seriously.

I agree the "solution" is the "sickness". It's the best way for them to weed out the idiots from the resistors. Either way, for "them" it's a win-win scenario. They get rid of the ones that are too dumb to think for themselves (and those that do survive will be scared enough to do whatever they want them to do) and they identify the ones they need to round up into camps to keep them from creating trouble.

Ignoring the part about genotypes, when I reread the PNAC report, I noted that sentence I put in bold could be read like this:

I remember reading this when you first posted this. Four years? Time flies. As gloomy as it is, I much prefer this to nuclear war. John's scenario at least allows for the possibility of nuclear vaporization, which for me is as close to being "raptured" away as we will get. Navigator's predictions are the absolute worst, a real nightmare set of scenarios.

I won't miss the gangsta rappers, the Kardashians, or loud mouthed liberals of CNN. I except them all to die first.

I think this would be a better world in some respects; however, I will miss air conditioning.

I have said this before, and I will keep saying it: The world will miss Donald Trump, especially after another year of Biden and Harris (insert vomiting smile face here).

It's understandable considering all the missile development and production being done in Iran that was never covered in JCPOA. Also when considering how many times Saudi Arabia has been hit by Iranian missiles and drones launched either directly from Iran or from Yemen. Having the ability to strike back might make the Mullahs think twice. Probably not.
