People always ask about the timing of future Russian and Chinese moves. To understand future timing, look at how past events were timed. In this context, the timing of the outbreak of the pandemic is suggestive. The pandemic appears to have been a watershed moment, and thus, fitting like a puzzle piece, the pandemic also appears to have been calculated rather than accidental. There is also the question of the Communist Party’s consolidation of Hong Kong from late 2019 through 2020. Here was a clear precursor event. As the whole world can see, Hong Kong’s politicians have outlawed all criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (on orders of the Communist Party). Meanwhile, dissidents say that thousands of protestors are missing. The corpses of some have washed ashore, others have been scraped off pavements after fatally falling from buildings or parking structures. Grieving parents have been threatened into silence. At least one parent was murdered, her body found in a dumpster. It is alleged that the CCP’s secret police deployed 400 officers to Hong Kong at the beginning of the 2019 protests. Why did the CCP decide to take back Hong Kong, on the eve of the pandemic? Did this move foreshadow the pandemic? I think it did; for it was a move that would, in normal times, have turned world opinion against China. Yet Beijing got away with it. No sanctions. No serious consequences of any kind. The pandemic so thoroughly eclipsed the takeover of Hong Kong that the world preferred not to notice.
What has emerged out of Hong Kong is a story of bloody conquest — bloodier than the violence of June 1989, at Tiananmen Square. It is violence that was spearheaded by agent provocateurs, by controlled opposition leaders and secret death squads. Here is a campaign of kidnapping, murder and intimidation — a campaign that was meticulously planned. Given the subsequent pandemic, the timing of the Hong Kong takeover must have been part of a larger plan. Today, all eyes are focussed on Taiwan. China is threatening a blockade or invasion of the island. Yet, according to defector testimony, China’s real target is America. According to the secret speech of Chi Haotian Taiwan is a diversionary ploy. America is Target No. 1. Defeat America and Taiwan surrenders automatically. Here is the larger strategic context; that is, the enemy’s plan. That plan involves Russia and China moving together against the United States. This plan was explained long ago by the KGB and GRU defectors A. Golitsyn and S. Lunev. To view the Hong Kong takeover as an isolated event, therefore, is an error. To view the pandemic as an isolated event is an error. To view Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an isolated event is an error. What the defectors called a “plan,” is still on the table. It is still playing out. That ought to be clear (though almost nobody knows how important the defector testimony turns out to be when it comes to analyzing contemporary events).
Then there is the curious case of the World Health Organization’s modulated criticisms of China after the pandemic outbreak. This was calculated, I think, to establish the organization’s credentials as a legitimate international authority. Officials of the World Health Organization are not normally critical of Communist China. After all, China pays most of the organization’s bills. And the ideological orientation of the officials will prove to be communist. So why would they risk the wrath of their patron in China, to criticize lab safety at the Wuhan L4 virology lab as they did in 2020? The game is to preserve the credibility of certain agents of influence, to keep the ball moving forward on the biological war front.
If we think strategically, the COVID-19 pandemic was too strategically important to have been an accidental lab leak. It was very strange to find local health officials, at ground zero in Wuhan, reprimanding Dr. Li Wenliang for texting about the SARS-like illness when it first appeared. Why was he under attack from the CCP? In reality, it was as if Beijing had ordered Wuhan health authorities to allow the virus to spread. Why, indeed, would they do this? In terms of disinformation, whole books have been written to paper this over.
If there was any doubt about the danger of an outbreak, the Wuhan virology lab had already run the RNA sequencing of the virus on or before January 7, 2020. They knew it was a SARS-like illness. They probably knew it was theirs. Was a warning issued? No. Everyone was ordered to keep quiet. Where do orders in China come from? The top of the Communist Party. Why would they give such an order? It only makes sense if they wanted it to spread.
Toward the end of 2019 China and Russia were planning for what KGB Major Golitsyn called “one clenched fist.” This is where China and Russia act together, as open allies. It began with the takeover of Hong Kong. Strategically, Russia and China would begin to make military threats, to use their economic weapons (fertilizer, food and energy). Later, in 2021, Vladimir Putin would demand that NATO pull out of the Baltic States and Poland.
Please remember that this all goes back to late 2019. It goes back to the CCP’s takeover of Hong Kong. It goes back to the pandemic, which has weakened the West, setting the stage for further economic blows. As the invasion of Ukraine was part of a push to collapse NATO and kick the U.S. out of Europe, China’s moves are meant to force Japan and Australia to cut their ties with America, forcing America out of the Far East.
The pandemic must be seen in this context. The most disturbing fact suggesting an intentional release of the coronavirus by Beijing, was the massive Wuhan potluck, involving 40,000 families, which was held after government meetings on 17 January 2020 in which obedience to Party orders was underscored. At the insistence of Beijing — against the advice of local party officials and the mayor of Wuhan — the city went forward with the potluck, which took place in Wuhan weeks after the danger of a wider outbreak was known. The Chinese New Year’s potluck in Wuhan was credited with infecting 10,000 people. Some of those people returned to jobs abroad — in Europe, Australia, and North America. It was an essential vector of the global pandemic to come. It was, arguably, a biological attack.
Was COVID-19 unleashed for the purpose of destroying global capitalism? Is the party-state system of China better able to function — by killing millions of its own elderly people — while the West collapses in a futile but hopeless humanitarian effort to save its elderly? Has China now reduced the burden of its oversized elderly population? Does the savvy economist doubt, at this moment, that despite China’s troubles the West is facing the gravest economic crisis in its history? Eight billion people depend on the global market — on capitalism — to eat and live. Destroy that division of labor with a fear that paralyzes it, and what will be left? What would another pandemic outbreak bring? How far are we from the edge?
China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc., represent a new communist bloc. Evidence suggests they have been strategically preparing and coordinating for a single purpose: to take down the United States and destroy global capitalism. Like Lenin and Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, they do not care how many people die. They do not care if the global economy collapses. They have been preparing many decades for this moment. They have been stockpiling food, weapons and gold. They have executed a series of strategic deception operations, and sabotage operations. They have been infiltrating and subverting the institutions of the West. They have engaged in drug trafficking. They have used organized crime and terrorism. Details related to their vast preparations may be found in the defector literature, in the writings of Jan Sejna, Anatoliy Golitsyn, Viktor Suvorov, Ion Pacepa, Stanislav Lunev, and Alexander Litvinenko (among others). The countries of the former communist bloc, also known as “the socialist camp,” developed a long-range strategy which has been meticulously followed.
