According to reports, during the most difficult period of the Sino-US trade war, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) considered the use of viral weapons to disrupt the United States.

President Donald Trump’s push-back against China’s exploitive trade practices from 2017-2019 was not acceptable to Beijing. Trump upset China’s play for economic dominance. Look what followed: — a global pandemic out of China, lockdowns of citizens, an experimental vaccine pushed on hundreds of millions of people, Western markets crashing, countries paralyzed with fear, massive economic dislocations, banks ready to fail, free societies turning to government controls, medical “martial law,” and a Russian invasion of Ukraine. All these events must be seen in context, as part of a sequence. It is a sequence best understood with reference to the defector literature (and testimony) of Anatoliy Golitsyn, Jan Sejna, Viktor Suvorov, and Stanislav Lunev. The main point of these authors is that Russia did not undergo a fundamental change after the fall of the Soviet Union. Golitsyn and Sejna refered to a “long range” communist bloc plan for collapsing the Warsaw Pact. Golitsyn, as well as Lunev, said that Russia and China were in a solid, long-term alliance that was kept hidden from the West. At some future date, the plan was, that Russia and China would confront the West. And that is what is happening now.

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.

Here is the Reuters story from 17 December 2021: “Russia demands NATO roll back from East Europe and stay out of Ukraine,” by Gabrielle Tetrault-Farber and Tom Balmforth. “Russia said on Friday it wanted a legally binding guarantee that NATO would give up any military activity in Eastern Europe and Ukraine.” The article also stated, “Moscow for the first time laid out in detail its demands … [for] defusing the crisis over Ukraine…. Russia has denied planning an invasion.”

We know that the Russians were lying about planning to invade. At this juncture, they were looking for the West to renounce any defensive measures regarding the five countries in question. What Moscow wanted, before the invasion took place, was a commitment from the United States and NATO. That commitment would be, on the West’s part, to do nothing, to let Ukraine, the Baltic States and Poland fall under Russian control. Here Russia was not acting the part of a country under threat. Russia was preparing the way for an invasion that would ultimately include five countries. Russia was doing in Eastern Europe what China had done in Hong Kong.

The Russians also wanted the U.S. to remove all its nuclear weapons from Europe. If any of these December 2021 Russian demands had been met, NATO would have collapsed. NATO membership would have been meaningless. In essence, Moscow was actually making a play for the breakup of the Western alliance. And why would such an attempt occur two years into the COVID pandemic? First, because the West was economically exhausted by the lockdowns. Second, Russia had prepared a campaign of energy blackmail. Resistance was futile, according to the Kremlin’s logic. And before Putin invaded Ukraine he went to Beijing and met with President Xi. The “one clenched fist” was a fact. Golitsyn’s nightmare prediction from 1984 had come true. The West had fallen for the controlled liberalization strategy of Russia. Consequently, America had not tested or built a nuclear weapons since 1992. Russia and China, however, were making nuclear weapons and ICBMs like sausages. The upper hand was theirs.

All the Russian stooges in Western Europe were jolted awake to the consequences of their past activities. Even if many were being gently blackmailed, there was no incentive to commit political suicide by accomodating Moscow in everything. Fair is fair. A blackmailed politician might even resent being blackmailed or bullied over the long haul. “We are your guys,” they might say, “but we cannot do everything for you. Overrun Ukraine if you must. Make it a fait accompli as the Chinese did in Hong Kong. We will rant and rave, but do nothing in the end. Look at our performance after your annexation of Crimea. We did nothing to you! Go to it, then. Take Ukraine. But do not expect us to openly assist you.”

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.

I recently discussed my concerns about communist bloc strategy and the COVID vaccines with Nevin Gussack. The video was censored by YouTube, and so I am uploading it here, for those who would like to hear something so dangerous and subversive that Nevin’s channel was suspended for a week.

is History Repeating ItselF?

Here is a “big picture” postcript: Secular socialism appears, more and more, as a religion. In this religion man’s salvation is to be political. The state, geared toward objectives of “socialization,” is to deliver humanity from poverty, backwardness and war. Always, the religion of socialism seeks the elimination of the old religion and its gradual replacement with wokism. The erosion of the old religion, together with the rise of the ruthless new faith, not only entails the eventual persecution and denigration of the old faith, but its gradual replacement in full.

The New Religion appears in the large cities first. It is spread by intellectual elements in the urban population. This was true of Christianity under the Roman Empire. The phenomenon of red states and blue states in the U.S. is actually a reflection of blue urban centers going over to the New Religion, with red rural and small-town areas (the Bible Belt) holding to the old religion. According to Max Weber, Christianity first spread in the cities of the Roman Empire. The word “pagan,” in fact, signifies “an ignorant country dweller,” a “rural bumpkin.” Today, the word “redneck” has the same connotation; only now the Christian is considered the bumpkin. Christianity no longer dominates in the ruling centers, and is no longer the ideology of the ruling (urban) elite. Socialism is taught in the universities and schools. It is the hobby-horse of the mainstream media. It is no more fashionable to be a redneck in today’s America than it was to be a pagan under Theodosius the Great, in the late Roman Empire.

An empire founded under pagan rites and principles could not survive the gutting of its traditions. A decade after Theodosius’s reign the barbarian invasions began. Sixteen years after his reign, the city of Rome was besieged and sacked for first the first time in more than 700 years. The army, largely made up of pagans (ignorant country dwellers) was asked to fight for an empire that had destroyed their temples, murdered their priests, and smashed their gods. A similar situation now colors the United States military, whose soldiers are governed by feminists and homosexual rights activists. Senators have, for the first time, called into question the propriety of Christians serving in senior positions of government because they are out of step with the ruling ethic of the country. Such is the revolution that has been underway.

The external threat to the West, like the external threat to Rome, coincides with feelings of envious inferiority from large nations dwelling outside the frontiers of the civilization. Envy is a dangerous form of hatred, which also coincides with covetousness and great power ambition. The prosperity of the West under the Pax Americana resembles the prosperity of the Roman Empire under the Pax Romana. A leading barbarian prince of the late Roman period famously admitted there was something inside him that wanted to see Rome burn. The same sentiments may be found in the statements of Mao Zedong, Nikita Khrushchev, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. The difference between the “barbarian” powers of Roman times and those of today, is that our latter-day barbarians have long been ideological socialists, politically opposed to Christianity and capitalism (despite splashy disinformation to the contrary). The barbarians of today are exemplars of the New Religion. They are connected to the West’s socialist elite in a web of relationships tracing back to the Cold War. The left that presently dominates Western institutions is the same left that supported Stalin in the 1930s and 40s, wanted to “ban the bomb” in the 1950s, supported Ho Chi Minh in the 1960s, and reviled Reagan in the 1980s.

Taking a long view of the current crisis, we can see a problem of history coming to light. Though we remain in ignorance, some kind of process, involving cause and effect, presents us with recurring pattern of revolution in which core values are overturned. This may only be understood if we examine problems related to moral and spiritual decline, together with the problem of ideology (i.e., the systemic falsification of reality by a political party, faction, or ruling elite). Also, as civilizations age, they lose touch with their founding faith. This may be, at bottom, why our civilization seems to be in free fall.
