The origin of\nthe virus is unknown; some say it came from animals (bats) and then jumped to\nhuman carriers. Some say it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a\nresearch institute administered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the\nonly biosafety level 4 laboratory in mainland China, built by the French in\n2015, and it is located in Wuhan city. Then there\u2019s this: &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/02\/22\/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab\/\">https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/02\/22\/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is evidence that the number of corona cases in China\nis being under-reported: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/leaked-documents-reveal-chinas-shandong-province-faked-coronavirus-infection-data-real-numbers-up-to-52-times-higher_3251354.html\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/leaked-documents-reveal-chinas-shandong-province-faked-coronavirus-infection-data-real-numbers-up-to-52-times-higher_3251354.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you know where to look you can see vids of people\nliterally collapsing on the streets of Wuhan from the virus (this occurred last\nweek). There\u2019s a massive effort by the Chinese Communist Party and those who\nsympathize with them to minimize the impact of the virus. Minimizing the effect\nof the virus isn\u2019t a bad thing because it prevents people from panicking and co-creating\na negative future. But ignoring a problem isn\u2019t a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s just say that the spread of the corona virus is a\nmarker in the battle between dark and light. It\u2019s another wild card, like the\nelection of Trump. A wild card is an unexpected event or situation that affects\nlarge numbers of people. As of Feb 25th the virus has spread to 31 countries.\nIn Italy, half of the industrial production of the country is offline now. The\nCatholic Church has suspended religious rituals throughout the country. Today,\nFeb 26, A senior CDC official is warning that Americans should prepare for an\nincrease in the spread of the new coronavirus disease. The CDC is distributing\ntest kits to state and local labs. Meanwhile, the number of infections is\nsharply increasing in Italy, Iran, and South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us-official-warns-americans-prepare-for-community-spread-of-new-coronavirus_3250191.html\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us-official-warns-americans-prepare-for-community-spread-of-new-coronavirus_3250191.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>New York Times<\/em> reports that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan asked all of the country\u2019s schools to  close for a month to help contain the spread of the coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of this blog isn\u2019t to alarm anyone. However, when a wild card occurs people should be informed. By the time you read this, hopefully, the spread of the virus will have slowed or halted altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTens of thousands of people die in the US every year from\nthe flu,\u201d you say. \u201cStop spreading propaganda and trying to scare people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, let\u2019s talk about the economic impact of the virus then.\nWithin the last thirty years, the world economy has gone to globalist\n\u201cjust-in-time\u201d manufacturing, much of it centered in China. Chinese factories\nhave not reopened (yet) after the Chinese New Year because of the corona virus,\nso supply chains all over the world are being stressed. This is affecting the\nproduction of pharmaceutical products like antibiotics, and many other\nindustries. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/coronavirus-hits-supply-chains-saps-us-business-activity_3247352.html\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/coronavirus-hits-supply-chains-saps-us-business-activity_3247352.html<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Italy (at the time of this writing) 50% of the\nmanufacturing base of the country has been shut down due to concerns about the\nvirus. The Catholic Church announced on Feb 24 that religious events throughout\nthe country have been cancelled. Here in Michigan, the state is monitoring over\n300 persons. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickondetroit.com\/news\/local\/2020\/02\/23\/hundreds-in-michigan-being-monitored-due-to-coronavirus\/\">https:\/\/www.clickondetroit.com\/news\/local\/2020\/02\/23\/hundreds-in-michigan-being-monitored-due-to-coronavirus\/<\/a>\n) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of this wild card virus is that even though it is spreading, it has largely affected only one country: China. China is the source and the Chinese people have been most severely affected. China is the last major country in the world with a communist government. As I explained in a previous blog post, communism is simply fascism with another name. The Chinese people have been laboring under this totalitarian system since 1949, as the Russian people did from 1917-1991. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their military enforcement branch, the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) have lost respect within the country, and now in the world, for their attempt to suppress information, to deny that anything was wrong, and their delay in halting the spread of the virus, allowing it to spread outside China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/chinas-internal-reports-on-coronavirus-response-our-main-priorities-are-controlling-public-opinion-social-stability_3253554.html\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/chinas-internal-reports-on-coronavirus-response-our-main-priorities-are-controlling-public-opinion-social-stability_3253554.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The corona virus could be the beginning of the end for the\ncommunist leadership in China. This would be another blow to the dark army on\nearth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The emperor, President Xi, may have lost the mandate from heaven. When the virus runs its course and the Chinese people take an assessment of their leadership, the CCP and the PLA may be found sadly wanting in integrity and competence. For China, the effect of the corona virus resembles the periodic, widespread famines that have occurred over the country\u2019s 5,000-year history. The resilient, hardworking people of China understand this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-new-york-times\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Coronavirus Weakens China\u2019s Powerful Propaganda Machine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/svc\/oembed\/html\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2020%2F02%2F26%2Fbusiness%2Fchina-coronavirus-propaganda.html#?secret=D0Zfq94IBF\" data-secret=\"D0Zfq94IBF\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could democracy come to this great nation of 1.4 billion, as\nit is now thriving in the great nation of India, with its 1.2 billion people?&nbsp; That is an inspiring thought to me. Prime Minister\nNarendra Modi won the recent election in India with over 600 million votes out\nof 800 million cast. 800 million votes cast! That is close to three times the\npopulation of&nbsp; the United States. It took\nweeks for the votes to be counted. Much of it was by hand, on paper ballots,\nbut the votes were tabulated honestly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here in the United States, we can learn a lot about\ndemocracy from India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons Trump went to India was to cement the\nrelationship between the world\u2019s two greatest democracies. The images and speeches\nfrom these meetings between Modi and Trump, and the reception of the U.S.\npresident by the people of India, are inspiring (despite the U.S. media\u2019s complete\nfailure to cover it). Sure, the two leaders signed a military agreement, and\nthe trip was partly for geo-strategic reasons (to counter the influence of\nChina), but the outpouring of love and affinity at these meetings was\ninspiring. I\u2019m all for anything that advances the cause of world peace \u2013 even\nif Trump is doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing is for sure: the global capitalists, who took\nfactories and jobs out of the US and exported them to China (looking for the cheapest\nlabor) are thinking twice about their investments now that their supply chains\nare being cut. Nothing is more influential to hedge fund managers, bankers, and\ncapitalists than money. Their shortsighted decision over the past 20 years to\ngo for short term profit at the expense of their own people is coming back to\nbite them. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The light is winning over the dark, which is being exposed\nmore and more every year. &nbsp;The spread of\nthe corona virus is shining light on the corrupt practices of corporate\ncapitalism and state-owned corporate communism, both in Asia and in the West.\nGreed and a lack of humanity, whether it be capitalist or communist, must\nultimately fail. Integrity will win the day as the consciousness of humanity\nslowly rises and people wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2020 is the year when eyes will be opened all across the\nplanet. It\u2019s already begun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An event of historical significance has occurred with the release of the corona virus in Hubei Province in central China.
