A recent article chronicled a poor navy Captain who was relieved of duty – fired as it were – for sending a dozen emails noting that over hundred of his crew had the Chinese Plague. Reading comments, I noticed that some were appalled at this. How dare the navy result to such “totalitarian” behavior! I guess it doesn’t occur to the masses yet, but I suspect and hope that most of our leaders are well aware that the U.S and China are essentially at war. At bare minimum we are already in a cold war and China is clearly winning.
Unlike America, whether they launched this plague on the world on purpose, or simply took advantage of a serendipitous situation, the Chinese Communists leaders are NOT concerned with saving lives – whether it be their own people – or the world’s – and especially American lives. They closed down the region of Wuhan but don’t tell me that they’re going to bring their economy to a screeching halt the way we did. At some point, we will have to risk lives and open up this lock down – or suffer a fate perhaps equal or greater than the Great Depression. No one who had looked at the unemployment stats and the stock market can argue that this is hyperbole. Unless you have lived well over nine decades, you won’t remember the stories of people jumping out of buildings when they lost everything. Granted, we have safety nets and welfare and unemployment insurance. But at some point, even America cannot simply PRINT money and hope that “stimulates” the economy when half the workforce is not actually producing anything of value.
All of this benefits China. At this point, our corrupt media and the Ruling Class that allowed China to prosper to the point that they could unleash this stealth weapon upon the US and the world will deny that there was any intent on the Chinese. After all, it was just their unusual dietary proclivity for bats, Koala bears, cats, dogs, and the unfortunate virus jumping from this bat to a human. Not possible that this was concocted in bio weapons lab in Wuhan. Not possible. And the World Health Organization and their leaders have droned on and commended China for such a good job of containing the virus. Pay no attention to the fact that the Ethiopian head of the WHO is a puppet of China despite the fact that America and Bill Gates funds most of the WHO – China does about $5 Billion in trade with Ethiopia – so don’t pay any attention to that fact.
I pray that Trump and his military are aware of the fact that China’s leaders are probably not very different from Mao – who famously gave his people The Great Leap Forward. A great exercise that resulted in about 80,000,000 Chinese starved to death. To them it’s a rounding error for a population of a billion and a half. So do not think for one second that these Communist Autocrats or Xi actually care if they have to sacrifice a million or two Chinese to achieve their goal of surpassing America as the world’s number one economy and only super power. For them it’s a small price to pay.
Yes, I am worried about the loss of life when we open up our economy. But I feel every day we wait is perhaps a bigger mistake if we want to actually save this country from ruin and an outcome that we can hardly fathom. I fall into the category of most vulnerable given my age and pre-condition. So, I am not the one I am worried about. I am more concerned that the America my daughter and grandchild will inherit if we allow China to succeed in doing what the former USSR could not do. But in the end, if China is successful, we can thank our greedy Ruling Class who looked at China as a billion plus customers rather than the enemy they have become. By the time some of these greedy fools in America’s Ruling Class figure this out, it may well be too late.
