The '''Donbas war''' began on April 13, 2014, the same day [[Hunter Biden]]'s appointment to [[Burisma]] oil and gas in Ukraine was announced.<ref>https://s2.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IMR_13.05.2014.mp4?_=1</ref>

On May 2, 2014 forty-eight Russian speaking citizens of Ukraine protesting the [[Maidan coup]] were burnt alive in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] by US-backed [[Nazi]]s{{cn}}.

in [[Mariupol]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 2014 the U.S.-backed [[Maidan regime]] opened fire on civilians who were celebrating the 69th anniversary of the defeat of [[Nazism]]. On June 3, 2014, [[CNN]] reported on the aerial bombing of civilians in Donbas by the U.S.-backed Maidan regime.<ref>[https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/03/world/europe/ukraine-luhansk-building-attack/index.html Air attack on pro-Russian separatists in Luhansk kills 8, stuns residents], Diana Magnay and Tim Lister, CNN, Updated 6:53 PM EDT, Tue June 3, 2014.</ref> Five women and three men, all civilians, were killed in the aerial bombing with at least 20 more injured.<ref>[https://youtu.be/IUchjQ_zoBs Lugansk after the bombing aircraft Ukrainian army]</ref> The attack on Donbas residents by the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] and Nazi paramilitary groups with heavy weapons, artillery and aircraft by the U.S.-backed [[Kyiv regime]], with funds and training provided by the United States, continued for the next 8 years, killing 14,000.


The [[Obama administration]]-backed [[Maidan coup]] had overthrown the [[democracy|democratically]] elected president of [[Ukraine]].<ref>https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/06/03/how-why-us-government-perpetrated-2014-coup-ukraine/</ref> [[President Viktor Yanukovych]]'s election had been certified by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). He was the first democratically elected official overthrown in a violent revolution in recent memory. The U.S.-backed [[coup]] was accomplished with the aid of anti-Russian, anti-democratic [[neo-Nazi]]s and traitors to Ukraine. It was an unconstitutional U.S.-sponsored [[regime change]].

As of 2021, 13,000 people had been killed in the conflict.<ref>https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/UA/29thReportUkraine_EN.pdf</ref>

In early December 2021 it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125,000 troops, half of its forces, against the predominantly Russian speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.<ref>https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2021/12/01/russia-ukraine-has-deployed-half-of-its-army-to-donbass-conflict-zone</ref> More than 600,000 Russian citizens reside in Donbas.<ref>http://uawire.org/kremlin-almost-640-000-donbas-residents-received-russian-passports</ref>

As published in the ''[[Washington Post]]'' on May 9, 2023, the 78th anniversary of [[Victory Day]] commemorating the defeat of [[Nazi Germany]] by [[Russia]], NATO boss Jens Stoltenberg said "The war in Ukraine has fundamentally changed NATO, but then you have to remember the war didn’t start in 2022…The war started in 2014."<ref>[https://archive.is/0wj8w Opinion Editorial Board interview: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg], By the ''Washington Post'' Editorial Board, May 9, 2023.</ref>

The Donbass war is not what Americans think of as a 21st-century war. It is a [[World War II]] type conflict, with two well-equipped, capable, real armies fighting each other for control of towns, villages, and fortifications.<ref>https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/03/27/final-battle-for-the-donbass-takes-shape/</ref>

==Crimean Annexation==

[[Crimea]] held a referendum and rejoined Russia rather than live under an illegal government. However, Russia did not accept the results of the [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] referendums in the Don River Basin, collectively known as Donbas. Donetsk and Luhansk declared independence from [[Kyiv]] and became known as the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. The Kyiv regime tried to retake the two separatist provinces.

An email sent from [[Hunter Biden]] to his business partner [[Devon Archer]] on April 13, 2014, contained information from a classified [[State Department]] memo one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet prime minister [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]]. The email predicted an escalation of Russia's “destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full scale takeover of the eastern region, most critically [[Donetsk]]":
{{quotebox-float|“The strategic value is to create a land bridge for [[Russia|RU]] to [[Crimea]]. That won’t directly affect [[Burisma]] holdings but it will limit future [[UK]] exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular.

It will also result in further destabilization of UK nationally and for whatever govt is in power. And the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the [[EU]] which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases.”<ref>https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/theres-no-hiding-bidens-fright-over-classified-document-scandal/</ref> }}

===Odessa Trade Unions House massacre===
[[File:Revolution of Dignity.PNG|right300px|thumb|Burnt victims of the "[[Revolution of Dignity]]."]]
On April 16, 2014 ''[[Forbes]]'' reported Obama CIA Dir. [[John Brennan]]'s visited the new undemocratically elected [[Obama administration]]-backed regime in Kyiv.<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/melikkaylan/2014/04/16/why-cia-director-brennan-visited-kiev-in-ukraine-the-covert-war-has-begun/#248cdd8510cb</ref> Two weeks later on May 2, 2014, Ukrainian nationalists murdered at least 42 Russians, most burnt alive in the Odessa Trades Union Building.<ref>https://www.opednews.com/populum/pagem.php?f=Odessa--the-First-Pogrom-by-George-Eliason-Activism-Anti-War_Civil-Disobedience_Class-War_Obama-Warmonger-140507-595.html</ref> Some eyewitnesses claim the real number is over a hundred. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref>

The Maidan fascists according to eyewitnesses outnumbered the anti-Kiev protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.

A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails while the boys were busy using them to burn people alive.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond for hours. The Maidan activists blocked the lone fire truck and wouldn't let the firefighters operate.

===Murder, assassination and kidnapping===
On March 25, 2019, Vasily Prozorov, a former employee of the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU) held a press conference. He reported that from April 2014 he rendered assistance to the special services of Russia. “From April 2014 I absolutely voluntarily, for ideological reasons, assisted the special services of the [[Russian Federation]] in obtaining information about the activities of Ukrainian [[law enforcement]], in particular in the area of the ATO (Kiev’s military operation in the Donbass),” he stressed. According to Prozorov, he decided to do this after the events on “[[Maidan]]”.<ref>https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/</ref>

Prozorov informed Russia about the whereabouts of Russian ''Life News'' journalists detained in May 2014 by Ukrainian military personnel. He described that back then he worked in the team of the Security Service of Ukraine in one of the villages near [[Slavyansk]], where these journalists were detained. He immediately reported where they were, “because there were many who wanted to introduce your colleagues as military personnel and start their interrogations.”

In the area of conducting military operations in Donbass there are secret SBU prisons. One of them is located at the airport of [[Mariupol]]. The location is called “the library (библиотека),<ref>https://youtu.be/2r5g0W3bTXg</ref> and its prisoners are called books”. According to Prozorov, it was possible to end up in such a prison for anything, including on suspicion of working for the Russian Federation, [[DPR]], and [[LPR]].

The leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics became victims of special operations, and not internal conflicts. “I am not omniscient, but concerning Motorola and Givi I am 100% sure that it was an operation of the special fifth department of the SBU and the special operations forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he specified. According to Prozorov, employees of the Special Operations Forces are constantly trained under the guidance of instructors from the [[UK]] and other countries. Their specialties are acts of [[terrorism]] and the deployment of a partisan insurrection movement.

[[Fascist]] and Nazi views are widespread in Ukrainian law enforcement structures. Prozorov noted that this concerns not only voluntary battalions, where this phenomenon is rampant, but also about linear units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and National Guard.

The “Azov” formation is a non-controlled paramilitary formation that is subordinated only to its leader and the Interior Minister [[Arsen Avakov]]. Prozorov recalled that in May 2017 another truce was concluded between the parties to the conflict. However, on May 9–10 the Azov artillery shelled the DPR and Mariupol. The former SBU officer noted that this is how the battalion carried out the orders of their superior, without informing the leadership of the ATO and the National Guard.

{{Anchor|Minsk Agreements}}

==Minsk Agreements==
A truce was negotiated between the two separatist Republics and the Kyiv regime in late 2014 and early 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]] and known as the Minsk Agreements. The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]]. [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well. The Minsk Agreements would give autonomy to the two provinces while remaining part of Ukraine. However the Ukraine regime did nothing to further implement the agreements after 2015, and only a ceasefire for the use of heavy weapons (tanks and artillery) remained in place.
The Minsk Agreements established a 12-point roadmap to ensure an immediate bilateral ceasefire; carry out decentralization of power, allowing temp
orary local self-government in areas of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine under a "special status" law; immediately free all hostages and illegally detained persons; ensure monitoring on the Ukrainian-Russian border and a security zone; ensure the holding of snap local elections in Donetsk and Luhansk; remove illegal armed groups, military hardware, and all fighters and mercenaries from Ukrainian territory; pass a law against the prosecution and punishment of people over certain events in Donetsk and Luhansk region.<ref>https://archive.fo/owxxq</ref>

The agreement was drawn-up by the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine, which consisted of representatives from Ukraine, Russia, and the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|OSCE]].<ref>[http://www.osce.org/home/123124 Press statement by the Trilateral Contact Group], Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, 2 September 2014</ref> with mediation by the leaders of [[France]] and [[Germany]].<ref>https://www.csis.org/analysis/impact-normandy-format-conflict-ukraine-four-leaders-three-cease-fires-and-two-summits</ref> The agreement aimed to implement an immediate ceasefire.

Starting Mid-April 2014 the Donetsk People's Militia captured several towns in the newly proclaimed independent republic;<ref>https://newrepublic.com/article/117387/putin-accidentally-helping-unite-eastern-and-western-ukraine</ref><ref>http://en.itar-tass.com/world/735082</ref> including Avdiivka.

In March 2016 the Maidan regime forces set up its fortifications in the area "Industrial Zone", until then a buffer zone between the [[Donetsk People's Republic]] controlled territories and the Kyiv regime army controlled territory in the eastern part of Avdiivka. This meant that the Donetsk People's Militia no longer had full control of the highway that united their controlled cities [[Donetsk]] and Horlivka and that it became more difficult for them to fire at Avdiivka with weapons not prohibited by the Minsk II agreement. Since March 2016 fighting for Avdiivka's "Industrial Zone" greatly intensified.<ref>[http://pda.pravda.com.ua/articles/id_7134026/ Freeze on fire.

==Battle of Iloviask==
Maidan regime forces made their first attempts to attack the city of Ilovaisk on August 7, 2014. Over the next few days, Maidan fascists made multiple attempts to enter the city, but were bogged down by heavy fighting with the citizens of Donbas defending their homes. Maidan forces attempted to enter Ilovaisk during the day on August 18, but failed. Led by the Maidan regime's Donbas Battalion, Kyiv forces launched another attempt to storm the city on the night of August 18–19.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html |script-title=ru:Из "иловайского котла" вырвались еще 84 украинских бойца |newspaper=Segodnya |date=1 September 2014 |access-date= |language=ru |archive-date=4 September 2014 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904083057/http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html }}</ref> This attempt was successful, and they raised the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag over the city administration building without any casualties.

==Battle of Debaltsevo==
In 2014, after the start of the [[Donbass war]], Major General [[Syrsky]] was appointed [[chief of staff]] - first deputy head of the ATO (the so-called Ukrainian "Anti-Terrorist Operation"). Many Ukrainian officers blamed Syrsky for the huge losses that the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered in the [[Debaltseve]] cauldron in early 2015 and gave him the nickname “Kotlovoy General.” According to various sources, more than 3,000 soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed in the city of Debaltsevo and its environs, and almost all [[artillery]] and armored vehicles were lost. Even by the standards of a larger [[NWO]], these losses are significant.<ref>[https://rumble.com/v6mt61u-the-legendary-liberation-of-debaltsevo-part-12.html The Legendary Liberation of Debaltsevo (Part 1/2)], [[Graham Phillips]].

==Zugres beach==

On August 13, 2014, the small Donbass town of Zugres became a target for the Ukrainian Air Force. The city beach was also shelled from Smerch MLRS, where at that time many families were vacationing with children. More than 20 people died that day, including 3 children, and dozens were injured.

On May 7, 2016, a website closely affiliated with the [[Kiev regime]]'s internal police, the Ministry of Interior, published the personal data of 4,508 [[journalist]]s and other [[media]] members from all over the planet who had worked or had received accreditation from the Donetsk Peoples Republic to report from Donbas, and therefore were considered by the fascist-controlled Kiev regime to have cooperated with "terrorists," according to the ''Voice of America''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.voanews.com/europe/debate-over-free-press-ukraine-suffers-old-stereotypes|title=Debate Over Free Press in Ukraine Suffers From Old Stereotypes|publisher=Voice of America|date=2016-06-15|accessdate=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eesc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/resources/docs/freedom-of-media_eu_report.pdf|title=Freedom of media / audio-visual development in Ukraine|publisher=EU-Ukraine Civil Society Platform|date=2017-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Ukraine: Website leaks personal information of more than 4,000 journalists |url=https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2016/05/ukraine-website-leaks-personal-information-4000-journalists/ |website=Index on Censorship |date=13 May 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Crouch |first1=Erik |title=Ukrainian journalists Sevgil Musaieva and Sonia Lukashova receive death threats |url=https://cpj.org/2022/06/ukrainian-journalists-sevgil-musaieva-and-sonia-lukashova-receive-death-threats/ |access-date=15 October 2022 |work=Committee to Protect Journalists |date=30 June 2022}}</ref> There were phone numbers, [[email]] addresses, and some countries and cities of residence of Ukrainian and foreign journalists received from the hacked database of Donetsk People's Republic.

==Crowdstrike==
On January 3, 2017, George Eliason reported in an article entitled, ''Why Crowdstrike’s Russian Hacking Story Fell Apart- Say Hello to Fancy Bear"''<ref>https://washingtonsblog.com/2017/01/crowdstrikes-russian-hacking-story-fell-apart-say-hello-fancy-bear-2.html</ref>
{{Quotebox-float|"In the wake of the JAR-16-20296 dated December 29, 2016 about hacking and influencing the 2016 election, the need for real evidence is clear. The joint report adds nothing substantial to the October 7th report. It relies on proofs provided by the cyber security firm Crowdstrike that is clearly not on par with intelligence findings or evidence. At the top of the report is an “as is” statement showing this.

The difference between Dmitri Alperovitch’s claims which are reflected in JAR-1620296 and this article is that enough evidence is provided to warrant an investigation of specific parties for the DNC hacks. The real story involves specific anti-American actors that need to be investigated for real crimes.

For instance, the malware used was an out-dated version just waiting to be found. The one other interesting point is that the Russian malware called Grizzly Steppe is from Ukraine. How did Crowdstrike miss this when it is their business to know?

Later in this article you’ll meet and know a little more about the real “Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear.” The bar for identification set by [[Crowdstrike]] has never been able to get beyond words like probably, maybe, could be, or should be, in their attribution.

===Dimitri Alperovitch===

The article is lengthy because the facts need to be in one place. The bar Dimitri Alperovitch set for identifying the hackers involved is that low. Other than asking America to trust them, how many solid facts has Alperovitch provided to back his claim of Russian involvement?

The December 29th JAR adds a flowchart that shows how a basic phishing hack is performed. It doesn’t add anything significant beyond that. Noticeably, they use both their designation APT 28 and APT 29 as well as the Crowdstrike labels of Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear separately.

This is important because information from outside intelligence agencies has the value of rumor or unsubstantiated information at best according to policy. Usable intelligence needs to be free from partisan politics and verifiable. Intel agencies noted back in the early 90’s that every private actor in the information game was radically political.

[[The Hill]].com article about Russia hacking the electric grid is a perfect example of why this intelligence is political and not taken seriously. If any proof of Russian involvement existed, the US would be at war. Under current laws of war, there would be no difference between an attack on the power grid or a missile strike.

According to the Hill “Private security firms provided more detailed forensic analysis, which the FBI and [[DHS]] said Thursday correlated with the [[IC]]’s findings.

:''“The Joint Analysis Report recognizes the excellent work undertaken by security companies and private sector network owners and operators, and provides new indicators of compromise and malicious infrastructure identified during the course of investigations and incident response,” read a statement. The report identities two Russian intelligence groups already named by CrowdStrike and other private security firms.”

In an interview with Washingtonsblog, William Binney, the creator of the NSA global surveillance system said
:''“I expected to see the IP’s or other signatures of APT’s 28/29 [the entities which the U.S. claims hacked the Democratic emails] and where they were located and how/when the data got transferred to them from DNC/HRC [i.e. Hillary Rodham Clinton]/etc. They seem to have been following APT 28/29 since at least 2015, so, where are they?”''

According to the latest Washington Post story, Crowdstrike’s CEO tied a group his company dubbed “Fancy Bear” to targeting Ukrainian artillery positions in Debaltsevo as well as across the Ukrainian civil war front for the past 2 years.

Alperovitch states in many articles the Ukrainians were using an Android app to target the self-proclaimed Republics positions and that hacking this app was what gave targeting data to the armies in Donbass instead.

Alperovitch first gained notice when he was the VP in charge of threat research with McAfee. Asked to comment on Alperovitch’s discovery of Russian hacks on [[Larry King]], [[John McAfee]] had this to say.
:''Based on all of his experience, McAfee does not believe that Russians were behind the hacks on the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC), [[John Podesta]]’s emails, and the [[2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign|Hillary Clinton presidential campaign]]. As he told [[RT]], “if it looks like the Russians did it, then I can guarantee you it was not the Russians.”''

How does Crowdstrike’s story part with reality? First is the admission that it is probably, maybe, could be Russia hacking the DNC. “Intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to Wiki Leaks.”

The public evidence never goes beyond the word possibility. While never going beyond that or using facts, Crowdstrike insists that it’s Russia behind both Clinton’s and the Ukrainian losses. [[NBC]] carried the story because one of the partners in Crowdstrike is also a consultant for NBC.

According to NBC the story reads like this.
:''"The company, Crowdstrike, was hired by the DNC to investigate the hack and issued a report publicly attributing it to Russian intelligence. One of Crowdstrike’s senior executives is [[Shawn Henry]], a former senior FBI official who consults for [[NBC News]].

:''“But the Russians used the app to turn the tables on their foes, Crowdstrike says. Once a Ukrainian soldier downloaded it on his [[Android phone]], the Russians were able to eavesdrop on his communications and determine his position through geo-location.''

In June, Crowdstrike went public with its findings that two separate Russian intelligence agencies had hacked the DNC. One, which Crowdstrike and other researchers call Cozy Bear, is believed to be linked to Russia’s CIA, known as the [[FSB]]. The other, known as Fancy Bear, is believed to be tied to the military intelligence agency, called the [[GRU]].”

The information is so certain the level of proof never rises above “believed to be.” According to the December 12th Intercept article “Most importantly, the Post adds that “intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to [[WikiLeaks]].”

Because Ukrainian soldiers are using a smartphone app they activate their geolocation to use it. Targeting is from location to location. The app would need the current user location to make it work.

In 2015 I wrote an article that showed many of the available open source tools that geolocate, and track people. They even show street view. This means that using simple means, someone with freeware or an online website, and not a military budget can look at what you are seeing at any given moment.

Where Crowdstrike fails is insisting people believe that the code they see is (a) an advanced way to geolocate and (b) it was how a state with large resources would do it. Would you leave a calling card where you would get caught and fined through sanctions or worse? If you use an anonymous online resource at least Crowdstrike won’t believe you are Russian and possibly up to something.

:''”Using open source tools this has been going on for years in the private sector. For geolocation purposes, your smartphone is one of the greatest tools to use. Finding and following you has never been easier. Let’s face it if you are going to stalk someone, “street view” on a map is the next best thing to being there. In the following video, the software hacks your modem. It’s only one step from your phone or computer.”

If you read that article and watch the video you’ll see that using “geo-stalker” is a better choice if you are on a low budget or no budget. Should someone tell the Russians they overpaid?

According to Alperovitch, the smartphone app plotted targets in about 15 seconds. This means that there is only a small window to get information this way.

Using the open source tools I wrote about previously, you could track your targets all-day. In 2014, most Ukrainian forces were using [[social media]] regularly. It would be easy to maintain a map of their locations and track them individually.

===Drones===

From my research into those tools, someone using Python scripts would find it easy to take photos, listen to conversations, turn on GPS, or even turn the phone on when they chose to. Going a step further than Alperovitch, without the help of the Russian government, GRU, or FSB, anyone could take control of the drones Ukraine is fond of flying and land them. Or they could download the footage the drones are taking. It’s copy and paste at that point. Would you bother the FSB, GRU, or Vladimir Putin with the details or just do it?

In the WaPo article Alperovitch states “The Fancy Bear crew evidently hacked the app, allowing the GRU to use the phone’s GPS coordinates to track the Ukrainian troops’ position.

In that way, the Russian military could then target the Ukrainian army with artillery and other weaponry. Ukrainian brigades operating in eastern Ukraine were on the front lines of the conflict with Russian-backed separatist forces during the early stages of the conflict in late 2014, CrowdStrike noted. By late 2014, Russian forces in the region numbered about 10,000. The Android app was useful in helping the Russian troops locate Ukrainian artillery positions.”

In late 2014, I personally did the only invasive passport and weapons checks that I know of during the Ukrainian civil war. I spent days looking for the Russian army every major publication said were attacking Ukraine. The keyword Cyber Security industry leader Alperovitch used is “evidently.” Crowdstrike noted that in late 2014, there were 10,000 Russian forces in the region.

When I did the passport and weapons check, it was under the condition there would be no telephone calls. We went where I wanted to go. We stopped when I said to stop. I checked the documents and the weapons with no obstacles. The weapons check was important because Ukraine was stating that Russia was giving Donbass modern weapons at the time. Each weapon is stamped with a manufacture date. The results are in the articles above.

The government in Kiev agreed with my findings throughout 2014 and 2015. There were and are no Russian troops fighting in Donbass regardless of what Mr. Alperovitch asserts. There are some Russian volunteers which I have covered in detail.

Based on my findings which the CIA would call hard evidence, almost all the fighters had Ukrainian passports. There are volunteers from other countries. In Debaltsevo today, I would question Alperovitch’s assertion of Russian troops based on the fact the passports will be Ukrainian and reflect my earlier findings. There is no possibly, could be, might be, about it.

The SBU, Olexander Turchinov, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense all agree that Crowdstrike is dead wrong in this assessment. Although subtitles aren’t on it, the former Commandant of Ukrainian Army Headquarters thanks God Russia never invaded or Ukraine would have been in deep trouble.

How could Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike be this wrong on easily checked detail and still get this much media attention? Could the investment made by [[Google]] and some very large players have anything to do with the media Crowdstrike is causing?

In an interview with [[PBS NewsHour]] on December 22nd 2016, Dmitri Alperovitch finally produced the hard evidence he has for Russian involvement clearly. To be fair, he did state it several times before. It just didn’t resonate or the media and US intelligence agencies weren’t listening.

According to Alperovitch, the CEO of a $150 million dollar cyber security company
:''“And when you think about, well, who would be interested in targeting Ukraine artillerymen in eastern Ukraine who has interest in hacking the [[Democratic Party]], Russia government comes to mind, but specifically, Russian military that would have operational over forces in the Ukraine and would target these artillerymen.”

That statement is most of the proof of Russian involvement he has. That’s it, that’s all the [[CIA]], [[FBI]] have to go on. It’s why they can’t certify the intelligence. It’s why they can’t get beyond the threshold of maybe.

Woodruff then asked two important questions. She asked if Crowdstrike was still working for the DNC. Alperovitch responded
:''“We’re protecting them going forward. The investigation is closed in terms of what happened there. But certainly, we’ve seen the campaigns, political organizations are continued to be targeted, and they continue to hire us and use our technology to protect themselves.”

Based on the evidence he presented Woodruff, there is no need to investigate further? Obviously, there is no need, the money is rolling in.

Second and most important Judy Woodruff asked if there were any questions about conflicts of interest, how he would answer? This is where Dmitri Alperovitch’s story starts to unwind.

His response was
:''“Well, this report was not about the DNC. This report was about information we uncovered about what these Russian actors were doing in eastern Ukraine in terms of locating these artillery units of the Ukrainian army and then targeting them. So, what we just did is said that it looks exactly as the same to the evidence we’ve already uncovered from the DNC, linking the two together.”''

Why is this reasonable statement going to take his story off the rails? First, let’s look at the facts surrounding his evidence and then look at the real conflicts of interest involved. While carefully evading the question, he neglects to state his conflicts of interest are worthy of a DOJ investigation. Can you mislead the federal government about national security issues and not get investigated yourself?

If Alperovitch’s evidence is all there is, then the US government owes some large apologies to Russia.

After showing who is targeting Ukrainian artillerymen, we’ll look at what might be a criminal conspiracy.

Crowdstrike CEO Dmitri Alperovitch story about Russian hacks that cost Hillary Clinton the election was broadsided by the SBU (Ukrainian Intelligence and Security) in Ukraine. If Dimitri Alperovitch is working for Ukrainian Intelligence and is providing intelligence to 17 US Intelligence Agencies is it a conflict of interest?

Ukraine has been screaming for the US to start a war with Russia for the past 2 1/2 years. Using facts accepted by leaders on both sides of the conflict, the main proof Crowdstrike shows for evidence doesn’t just unravel, it falls apart. Is Ukrainian Intelligence trying to invent a reason for the US to take a hard-line stance against Russia? Are they using Crowdstrike to carry this out?

'''Real Fancy Bear?'''

Meet the real Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, part of the groups that are targeting Ukrainian positions for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. These people were so tech savvy they didn’t know the Ukrainian [[SBU]] (Ukrainian CIA/internal security) records every phone call and most internet use in Ukraine and Donbass. Donbass still uses Ukrainian phone and internet services.

These are normal people fighting back against private volunteer armies that target their homes, schools, and hospitals. The private volunteer armies like [[Pravy Sektor]], Donbas Battalion, [[Azov Battalion|Azov]], and [[Aidar Battalion|Aidar]] have been cited for atrocities like [[child]] [[rape]], [[torture]], [[murder]], and [[kidnap]]ping. That just gets the ball rolling. These are a large swath of the Ukrainian servicemen Crowdstrike hopes to protect.

This story which just aired on Ukrainian news channel TCN shows the SBU questioning and arresting some of what they call an army of people in the Ukrainian-controlled areas. This news video shows people in Toretsk that provided targeting information to Donbass and people probably caught up in the net accidentally.

This is a civil war and people supporting either side are on both sides of the contact line. The SBU is awestruck because there are hundreds if not thousands of people helping to target the private volunteer armies supported by Ukrainian-Americans.

The first person they show on the video is a woman named Olga Lubochka. On the video her voice is heard from a recorded call saying
:''”In the field, on the left about 130 degrees. Aim and you’ll get it.” and then ”Oh, you hit it so hard you leveled it to the ground.” ”Am I going to get a medal for this?”''

Other people caught up in the raid claim and probably were only calling friends they know. It’s common for people to call and tell their family about what is going on around them. This has been a staple in the war especially in outlying villages for people aligned with both sides of the conflict. A neighbor calls his friend and says “you won’t believe what I just saw.”

Another “fancy bear,” Alexander Schevchenko was caught calling friends and telling them that armored personnel carriers had just driven by.

Anatoli Prima, father of a DNR (Donetsk People’s Republic) soldier was asked to find out what unit was there and how many [[artillery]] pieces.

One woman providing information about fuel and incoming equipment has a husband fighting on the opposite side in [[Gorlovka]]. Gorlovka is a major city that’s been under artillery attack since 2014. For the past 2 1/2 years, she has remained in their home in Toretsk. According to the video, he’s vowed to take no prisoners when they rescue the area.

When asked why they hate Ukraine so much, one responded that they just wanted things to go back to what they were like before the coup in February 2014.

Another said they were born in the Soviet Union and didn’t like what was going on in Kiev. At the heart of this statement is the anti-OUN, antinationalist sentiment that most people living in Ukraine feel. The OUNb Bandera killed millions of people in Ukraine, including starving 3 million Soviet soldiers to death. The new Ukraine was founded in 1991 by OUN nationalists outside the fledgling country.

Is giving misleading or false information to [[intelligence community|17 US Intelligence Agencies]] a crime? If it’s done by a cyber security industry leader like Crowdstrike should that be investigated? If unwinding the story from the “targeting of Ukrainian volunteers” side isn’t enough, we should look at this from the American perspective. How did the Russia influencing the election and DNC hack story evolve? Who’s involved? Does this pose conflicts of interest for Dmitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? And let’s face it, a hacking story isn’t complete until real hackers with the skills, motivation, and reason are exposed.

===The Chalupas===
In the last article exploring the DNC hacks the focus was on the Chalupas. The article focused on Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa. Their participation in the DNC hack story is what brought it to international attention in the first place.

According to journalist and DNC activist [[Andrea Chalupa]] on her Facebook page “After Chalupa sent the email to Miranda (which mentions that she had invited this reporter to a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]]), it triggered high-level concerns within the DNC, given the sensitive nature of her work.
:''“That’s when we knew it was the Russians,” said a Democratic Party source who has been directly involved in the internal probe into the hacked emails. In order to stem the damage, the source said, “we told her to stop her research.””'' July 25, 2016

If she was that close to the investigation Crowdstrike did how credible is she? Her sister Alexandra was named one of 16 people that shaped the election by Yahoo news. The DNC hacking investigation done by Crowdstrike concluded hacking was done by Russian actors based on the work done by [[Alexandra Chalupa]]? That is the conclusion of her sister Andrea Chalupa and obviously enough for Crowdstrike to make the Russian government connection. These words mirror Dimitri Alperovitch’s identification process in his interview with PBS Judy Woodruff.

How close is Dimitri Alperovitch to DNC officials? Close enough professionally he should have stepped down from an investigation that had the chance of throwing a presidential election in a new direction.

According to Esquire.com, Alperovitch has vetted speeches for Hillary Clinton about cyber security issues in the past. Because of his work on the Sony hack, President [[Barrack Obama]] personally called and said the measures taken were directly because of his work.

Still, this is not enough to show a conflict of interest. Alperovitch’s relationships with the Chalupas, radical groups, think tanks, Ukrainian [[propagandist]]s, and Ukrainian state supported hackers do. When it all adds up and you see it together, we have found a Russian that tried hard to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in 2016.

In my previous article I showed in detail how the Chalupas fit into this. A brief bullet point review looks like this.

The Chalupas are not Democrat or Republican. They are OUNb. The OUNb worked hard to start a war between the USA and Russia for the last 50 years. According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'' in a rare open statement of their existence in 2011, “Other statements were issued in the Ukrainian language by the leadership of the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] (B) and the International Conference in Support of Ukraine. The OUN (Bandera wing) called for”… What is [[OUNb]] Bandera? They follow the same political policy and platform that was developed in the 1930’s by [[Stepan Bandera]]. When these people go to a [[Holocaust]] memorial they are celebrating both the dead and the OUNb SS that killed There is no getting around this fact. The OUNb have no concept of democratic values and want an [[authoritarian]] [[fascism]].

===Dmitry Yarosh===

Alexandra Chalupa- According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'',… “The effort, known as Digital Maidan, gained momentum following the initial [[Twitter]] storms. Leading the effort were: Lara Chelak, Andrea Chalupa, Alexandra Chalupa, Constatin Kostenko and others.” The Digital Maidan was also how they raised money for the coup. This was how the Ukrainian emigres bought the bullets that were used on Euromaidan. Ukraine’s chubby nazi, [[Dima Yarosh]] stated openly he was taking money from the Ukrainian emigres during Euromaidan and [[Pravy Sektor]] still fundraises openly in North America. The “Sniper Massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine by Dr. [[Ivan Katchanovski]], University of Ottowa shows clearly detailed evidence how the massacre happened. It has Pravy Sektor confessions that show who created the [[Heavenly Hundred]]. Their admitted involvement as leaders of Digital Maidan by both Chalupas is a clear violation of the [[Neutrality Act]] and has up to a 25 year prison sentence attached to it because it ended in a coup.

Andrea Chalupa-2014, in a Huff Post article Sept. 1 2016, Andrea Chalupa described Sviatoslav Yurash as one of Ukraine’s important “dreamers.” He is a young activist that founded [[Euromaidan Press]]. Beyond the gushing glow what she doesn’t say is who he actually is. Sviatoslav Yurash was Dmitri Yarosh's spokesman just after Maidan. He is a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist and was rewarded with the Deputy Director position for the UWC (Ukrainian World Congress) in Kiev.
In January, 2014 when he showed up at the Maidan protests he was 17 years old. He became the foreign language media representative for [[Vitali Klitschko]], [[Arseni Yatsenyuk]], and [[Oleh Tyahnybok]]. All press enquiries went through Yurash. To meet [[Dimitri Yurash]] you had to go through Sviatoslav Yurash as a ''Macleans'' reporter found out.

===Andrei Paruby===

At 18 years old, Sviatoslav Yurash became the spokesman for Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under [[Andrei Paruby]]. He was Dimitri Yarosh’s spokesman and can be seen either behind Yarosh on videos at press conferences or speaking ahead of him to reporters. From January 2014 onward, to speak to Dimitri Yarosh, you set up an appointment with Yurash.

Andrea Chalupa has worked with Yurash’s Euromaidan Press which is associated with [[Informnapalm]].org and supplies the state level hackers for Ukraine.

[[Irene Chalupa]]- Another involved Chalupa we need to cover to do the story justice is Irene Chalupa. From her bio– Irena Chalupa is a nonresident fellow with the [[Atlantic Council]]’s Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center. She is also a senior correspondent at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), where she has worked for more than twenty years. Ms. Chalupa previously served as an editor for the Atlantic Council, where she covered Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Irena Chalupa is also the news anchor for Ukraine’s propaganda channel org She is also a Ukrainian emigre leader.

According to Robert Parry’s article At the forefront of people that would have taken senior positions in a [[Clinton administration]] and especially in [[foreign policy]] are the Atlantic Council. Their main goal is still a major confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia.

The Atlantic Council is the think tank associated and supported by the CEEC (Central and Eastern European Coalition). The CEEC has only one goal which is war with Russia. Their question to candidates looking for their support in the election was “Are you willing to go to war with Russia?” Hillary Clinton has received their unqualified support throughout the campaign.

What does any of this have to do with Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? Since the Atlantic Council would have taken senior cabinet and policy positions, his own fellowship status at the Atlantic Council and relationship with Irene Chalupa creates a definite conflict of interest for Crowdstrike’s investigation. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was gaining ground and Clinton needed a boost. Had she won, would he have been in charge of the CIA, NSA, or Homeland Security?

When you put someone that has so much to gain in charge of an investigation that could change an election, that is a conflict of interest. If the think tank is linked heavily to groups that want war with Russia like the Atlantic Council and the CEEC, it opens up [[criminal]] [[conspiracy]].

If the person in charge of the investigation is a fellow at the think tank that wants a major conflict with Russia it is a definite conflict of interest. Both the Atlantic Council and clients stood to gain Cabinet and Policy positions based on how the result of his work affects the election. It clouds the results of the investigation. In Dmitri Alperovitch’s case, he found the perpetrator before he was positive there was a crime.

Alperovitch’s relationship with Andrea Chalupa’s efforts and Ukrainian intelligence groups is where things really heat up. Noted above she works with Euromaidanpress.com and Informnapalm.org which is the outlet for Ukrainian state-sponsored hackers.

When you look at Dimitri Alperovitch’s twitter relationships, you have to ask why the CEO of a $150 million dollar company like Crowdstrike follows Ukrainian InformNapalm and its hackers individually. There is a mutual relationship. When you add up his work for the OUNb, Ukraine, support for Ukraine’s Intelligence, and to the hackers it needs to be investigated to see if Ukraine is conspiring against the US government.

'''Alperovitch and Fancy Bear tweet each other?'''

Crowdstrike is also following their hack of a Russian government official after the DNC hack. It closely resembles the same method used with the DNC because it was an email hack.

ff-twitter-com-2016-12-30-02-24-54

Crowdstrike’s product line includes Falcon Host, Falcon Intelligence, Falcon Overwatch and Falcon DNS. Is it possible the hackers in Falcons Flame are another service Crowdstrike offers? Although this profile says [[Virginia]], tweets are from the Sofia, [[Bulgaria]] time zone and he writes in Russian. Another curiosity considering the Fancy Bear source code is in Russian. This image shows Crowdstrike in their network.

'''Crowdstrike is part of Ukrainian nationalist hacker network'''

In an interview with Euromaidanpress these hackers say they have no need for the CIA. They consider the CIA amateurish. They also say they are not part of the Ukrainian military Cyberalliance is a quasi-organization with the participation of several groups – RUH8, Trinity, Falcon Flames, Cyberhunta. There are structures affiliated to the hackers – the [[Myrotvorets]] site, Informnapalm analytical agency.”

In the image it shows a network diagram of Crowdstrike following the Surkov leaks. The network communication goes through a secondary source. This is something you do when you don’t want to be too obvious. Here is another example of that.

'''Ukrainian Intelligence and the real Fancy Bear?'''

Although OSINT Academy sounds fairly innocuous, it’s the official twitter account for Ukraine’s Ministry of Information head Dimitri Zolotukin. It is also Ukrainian Intelligence. The Ministry of Information started the Peacekeeper or Myrotvorets website that geolocates [[journalist]]s and other people for assassination. If you disagree with OUNb politics, you could be on the list.

Should someone tell Dimitri Alperovitch that [[Gerashchenko]], who is now in charge of Peacekeeper recently threatened president-elect [[Donald Trump]] that he would put him on his “Peacemaker” site as a target? The same has been done with [[Silvio Berlusconi]] in the past.

Trying not to be obvious, the Head of Ukraine’s Information Ministry (UA Intelligence) tweeted something interesting that ties Alperovitch and Crowdstrike to the Ukrainian Intelligence hackers and the Information Ministry even tighter.

'''Trying to keep it hush hush?'''

This single tweet on a network chart shows that out of all the Ukrainian Ministry of Information Minister’s following, he only wanted the 3 hacking groups associated with both him and Alperovitch to get the tweet. Alperovitch’s story was received and not retweeted or shared. If this was just Alperovitch’s victory, it was a victory for Ukraine. It would be shared heavily. If it was a victory for the hacking squad, it would be smart to keep it to themselves and not draw unwanted attention.

These same hackers are associated with Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa through the portals and organizations they work with through their OUNb. The hackers are funded and directed by or through the same OUNb channels that Alperovitch is working for and with to promote the story of Russian hacking.

'''Pravy Sektor Hackers and Crowdstrike?'''

When you look at the image for the hacking group in the Euromaidan press article, one of the hackers identifies themselves as one of Dimitri Yarosh’s Pravy Sektor members by the Pravy Sektor sweatshirt they have on. Noted above, Pravy Sektor admitted to killing the people at the Maidan protest and sparked the coup.

Going further with the linked Euromaidanpress article the hackers say” Let’s understand that Ukrainian hackers and Russian hackers once constituted a single very powerful group. Ukrainian hackers have a rather high level of work. So the help of the USA… I don’t know, why would we need it? We have all the talent and special means for this. And I don’t think that the [[USA]] or any [[NATO]] country would make such sharp movements in international politics.”

What sharp movements in international politics have been made lately? Let me spell it out for the 17 US Intelligence Agencies so there is no confusion. These state sponsored, Russian language hackers in [[Eastern Europe]]an time zones have shown with the Surkov hack they have the tools and experience to hack states that are looking out for it. They are also laughing at US intel efforts.

The hackers also made it clear that they will do anything to serve Ukraine. Starting a war between Russia and the USA is the one way they could serve Ukraine best, and hurt Russia worst. Given those facts, if the DNC hack was according to the criteria given by Alperovitch, both he and these hackers need to be investigated.

According to the ''Esquire'' interview “Alperovitch was deeply frustrated: He thought the government should tell the world what it knew. There is, of course, an element of the personal in his battle cry. “A lot of people who are born here don’t appreciate the freedoms we have, the opportunities we have, because they’ve never had it any other way,” he told me. “I have.”

While I agree patriotism is a great thing, confusing it with this kind of nationalism is not. Alperovitch seems to think by serving OUNb Ukraine’s interests and delivering a conflict with Russia that is against American interests, he’s a patriot. He isn’t serving US interests. He’s definitely a Ukrainian patriot. Maybe he should move to Ukraine.

The evidence presented deserves investigation because it looks like the case for conflict of interest is the least Dimitri Alperovitch should look forward to. If these hackers are the real Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, they really did make sharp movements in international politics.

By pawning it off on Russia, they made a worldwide embarrassment of an outgoing President of the United States and made the President Elect the suspect of rumor.

From the Observer.com, “Andrea Chalupa—the sister of DNC research staffer Alexandra Chalupa—claimed on social media, without any evidence, that despite Clinton conceding the election to Trump, the voting results need to be audited to because Clinton couldn’t have lost—it must have been Russia. Chalupa hysterically tweeted to every politician on Twitter to audit the vote because of Russia and claimed the TV show ''The Americans'', about two KGB spies living in America, is real.”

Quite possibly now the former UK Ambassador Craig Murry’s admission of being the involved party to “leaks” should be looked at. “Now both [[Julian Assange]] and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access? Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness. Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling.”}}

==US biological labs==
Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the [[US Department of Defense]] (DoD) and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The [[Pentagon]] has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
[[File:Biological research labs.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian military reported it had identified 30 sites where biological research with pathogens had been occurring under the direction of the [[Pentagon]].]]
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<ref>https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/</ref>

One such biological lab contractor is [[Metabiota]], a company financed by [[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the state owned Bank of China. Metabiota was awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the so-called "Defense Threat Reduction Program" in the former Soviet [[Republic of Georgia]] and Ukraine.<ref>https://govtribe.com/contract/award/hdtra114c0104</ref> Metabiota receives the lion's share of funding as a U.S. defense contractor for bio labs in Ukraine.

Captured documents published by Russia claimed the labs were working on [[biological weapons]] such as [[anthrax]] and plague and that the Pentagon instructed the labs to destroy them in violation of Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1500499205663645700</ref> Russia released captured U.S. documents indicating that among the work of the U.S.-funded biolabs was the testing of 400 and 4000 Ukrainian soldiers, respectively, for antibodies to Crimea-Congo fever and regional hantaviruses, and a search for anthrax spores in soil at livestock graves.

On March 7, 2022, the Russian military claimed to have identified 30 sites where pathogenic research under the direction of the U.S. Defense Department had been occurring on the territory of Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, "The Ukrainian biological laboratories in [[Lvov]] were conducting work with infectious agents of plague, anthrax, and brucellosis, while the labs in Kharkov and Poltava were working with infectious agents of [[diphtheria]], [[Salmonella|salmonellosis]], and [[dysentery]]…The government in Kiev had sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United States thousands of patients’ serum samples, primarily from patients of “[[Slavic]] [[ethnic]]ity”, under the pretext of testing [[COVID-19]] treatment methods”.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220307/30-biolabs-whose-activities-were-commissioned-by-pentagon-were-formed-in-ukraine---russian-mod-1093662299.html</ref>

''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022:
{{quotebox-float|"The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.

The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.

The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}
Kherson had been the first city to fall in the incursion. The first commemoration of the city's liberation from Nazism in 1944 was held since the Maidan coup. The eternal flame to the victims of Nazism and the soldiers who died liberating the city was relit.<ref>https://youtu.be/M68NrUWJCdc</ref>

By early March, 2022 partisan activity was reported in Kherson. NATO trained Ukrainian partisan militias and military units to use civilian vehicles to infiltrate and strike behind Russian units with mortar attacks and call in targeted artillery strikes.

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, vowed a guerrilla insurgency after the devastating defeat of Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield.<ref>https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/ukraine-says-russia-wants-to-split-nation-into-two/cid/1857888</ref>

The United States flooded Ukraine with billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, with some of those arms ending up in the hands of actual neo-Nazi battalions integrated into the Ukrainian government and military. The ''[[New York Times]]'' admitted that “[[C.I.A.]] officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html?smid=tw-share</ref> By definition, the U.S. is waging a [[proxy war]] against Russia, using Ukrainians as their instrument, with the goal of not ending the war but prolonging it, making the United States a cobelligerent.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-03-17/u-s-is-in-a-proxy-war-with-russia-panetta-video</ref>

On March 8, 2022, the [[U.S. Congress]] approved a $14 billion aid package for Ukraine - nearly equal to 10% of Ukrainian [[GDP]] ''before'' its loss of territory and population - insuring and funding an insurgency long past the Ukrainian military's defeat in the field by Russian forces.<ref>https://thehill.com/policy/international/597379-congress-reaches-deal-on-billions-in-ukraine-aid</ref>

In early February 2022 Russia accused Ukraine's military of committing "crimes against residents of the eastern Donbas region" in a report filed with the [[United Nations]].<ref>https://theweek.com/russia/1010313/russia-in-report-to-un-again-accuses-ukraine-of-genocide-amid-shelling-in-donbas</ref> The Russian news outlet ''Sputnik'' reported that the [[Russian Investigative Committee]] opened a criminal investigation after the discovery of mass graves of civilians in Donbass. "The remains of at least 295 civilians who died as a result of indiscriminate shelling by Ukrainian armed forces in 2014 were exhumed from them. It is already known that among the remains there are bodies of women of different ages," a statement from the committee said.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220216/russia-opens-criminal-case-after-discovery-of-mass-graves-of-civilians-in-donbass-1093089542.html</ref>
Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] called the events in Donbass a "[[genocide]],"<ref>https://www.marketwatch.com/story/russian-documents-level-genocide-allegation-against-ukraine-in-eastern-donbas-region-11645114453</ref> saying that the Ukrainian government continues to violate [[human rights]], including by legalizing the [[discrimination]] of the Russian-speaking population in the country. On January 16, 2022 ''Tass'' reported that Ukraine mandated all print media are to switch to the Ukrainian language.<ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref>

In the run up to the wider war, both the [[United States]] and NATO rejected, without consideration, two formal diplomatic proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] for peace treaties between the Russian Federation, United States and NATO to avoid war. The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed. The U.S. and NATO rejected the proposals out of hand in December 2021, and instead acted aggressively by sending more NATO forces to Eastern Europe and continued to heavily arm Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/24/what-putin-says-are-the-causes-aims-of-russias-military-action/</ref>

NATO-backed neo-Nazi proxy forces attacked the [[Donbas]] again on February 14, 2022.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/17/western-media-is-literally-peddling-neo-nazi-propaganda-to-prompt-war-between-russia-and-ukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3848518841859137</ref> Military forces of the Russian Federation (RF) entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022, to put an end to the ethnic violence and de-nazify the areas where the children and grandchildren of World War II Nazi collaborators had been carrying an ethnic hatred of Russians since the [[Holodomor]] of the 1930s and earlier. A wave of [[patriotism]] swept over Russian society, viewing the operation as a second [[Great Patriotic War]].<ref>https://thesaker.is/two-videos-from-the-ukrainian-blogger-iurii-podoliaka-must-see/</ref> Soldiers felt they were sent to finish the job of de-nazifying Ukraine that their grandfathers left unfinished after World War II. The use of civilian human shields by the U.S-trained Armed Forces of Ukraine led to civilian casualties and was a primary strategy of the NATO proxies. Ukrainian security forces committed reprisal actions and atrocities against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in areas which Russian forces vacated. Numerous attacks by Ukrainian forces on its own citizens, which had been ongoing in the Donbas region for the eight previous years, spread outside the Donbas to create [[false flag]] images of attacks by Russians. Efforts to rehabilitate the image and reputation of Nazis and Nazism by Western and Ukrainian media and [[psyop]]s were non-stop since the beginning of the Russian incursion, with permanent and debilitating damage to the West's educational system and image throughout the civilized world. By early April 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been so degraded and decimated, or were out of fuel and unable to retreat, the Maidan regime doubled down on soft power, [[psyops|psychological operations]] and propaganda to garner sympathy from the West for continued support.

===Propaganda war===
In their drive to stoke hostilities between [[the West]] and Russia, corporate media ignored the fact that the U.S. and NATO forces have been supporting openly Neo-Nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine for many years. A MintPress study of the op-ed pages of ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Wall Street Journal'' found that only one of 91 articles published in January 2022 mentioned this connection at all, with far more asserting that Vladimir Putin himself is Hitler incarnate. Around 90% of opinion columns pushed a “get tough on Russia” message, with anti-war voices few and far between.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/279612-2/279612/</ref> “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” Ivan Katchanovski, Professor of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, told MintPress, adding:
[[File:Wolfsangel.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian flag with Nazi SS Wolfsangel insignia. Ukrainian Nazis served in the Nazi SS Galacia Division to fight against Russia in [[World War II]] and are known for horrific atrocities against Russian, [[Polish]], and [[Jewish]] civilians.<ref>https://spzh.news/en/zashhita-very/68324-ss-galichina-uniaty-kholokost-i-zhizny-v-sostojanii-lzhi</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in Donbas even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention. The Western media also omitted that recent ‘unity marches’ in Kharkiv and Kyiv and a staged training of civilians, including a grandmother, were organized and led by the far right, in particular, the [[Azov Battalion|Neo-Nazi Azov [Battalion].]]”<ref>https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski/status/1490034084600594436</ref>}}
Conducting a civilian training operation in the middle of the Donbas city of [[Mariupol]] while a crowd of Western journalists looked on, Azov units showed locals how to use rifles. The image of a silver-haired, 79-year-old “babushka” staring down the sights of an [[AK-47]] went viral around the world, allowing the media to construct an “everyone in brave Ukraine is doing their part to oppose an imminent Russian invasion” narrative. The story was covered by a host of outlets, including [[ABC News]], [[MSNBC]], [[Newsweek]], the [[BBC]], ''[[The Guardian]]'' and The Financial Times, as well as by media in [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[Israel]], [[Denmark]], [[Thailand]] and [[Indonesia]]. Images from the training day featured on the front cover of six national British newspapers on February 14, 2022.

This was all despite the fact that the Wolfsangel insignia of the many Azov soldiers instructing the grandmother is clearly visible in a number of the images. The Wolfsangel was the crest of the infamous [[SS]] brigades, [[Hitler]]’s elite paramilitary units that carried out the extermination of millions of people (including countless Ukrainians) in Nazi death camps across Europe. The image is widely used by Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. and is considered a hate symbol by the [[Anti-Defamation League]]. Azov’s original commander, politician Andriy Biletsky, has stated that he sees Ukraine’s mission as to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against [[Semite]]-led subhumans.” None of the outlets above mentioned the fact that they were profiling Neo-Nazis.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-reveal-us-ned-spent-22m-promoting-anti-russia-narrative-ukraine/279734/</ref>

===Evacuation of Russian citizens===

As tensions escalated in mid-February 2022, some 700,000 women, children, and elderly were being evacuated to Rostov in neighboring Russia.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ukraine-russia-separatists-shelling-civilians_n_620fc47de4b0f2c343f3d4fa</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1406247</ref> Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] instructed the Russian government to house and feed people fleeing the Ukrainian military advance once they arrived in southern Russia. Each refugee arriving from Donbass is to be given a payment of 10,000 roubles ($129). [[RT]] reported Denis Pushilin, the head of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]] warned, "Kiev can start a full-scale assault on Donbass at any moment, the situation is critical”<ref>https://www.rt.com/russia/549912-donetsk-leader-ukraine-invasion-war/</ref> A fullscale [[mobilization]] was ordered, and men 18 to 55 were conscripted to remain and defend against the Ukrainian military attack.<ref>https://youtu.be/GksixfgW_Q0</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/hUTXV4VusTM</ref>

===Cyberattack===
On February 19, 2022, Luhansk internet providers came under cyberattack.<ref>https://aleph.wtf/22943/</ref>

===Ceasefire violations===
On February 19, 2022, the JCCC reported: “A total of 49 ceasefire violations by the Ukrainian armed forces were registered on the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the past day."<ref>https://tass.com/world/1406513</ref>

===Peacekeepers===
After repeated artillery sheeling of civilian residences by NATO-baked Ukrainian fascists, Russian peacekeeper forces were sent into the independent Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk on February 21, 2022.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/donbas-rebel-leaders-formally-urge-immediate-russian-military-assistance</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/a73W9wNZx4M</ref>

===Operation Denazification===
{{See also|Operation Denazification}}
On February 23, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into Greater Ukraine in a demilitarization and denazification operation.<ref>https://tass.ru/politika/13825671</ref>

In a televised speech shortly before 04:00 Moscow time on 24 February 2022, Putin announced that he had ordered Russian forces to enter eastern Ukraine. He insisted it was not Russia's intention to annex the country, but stated that Russia would protect the right of the self-declared breakaway republics to self-determination, and that it would do so by forcing the "demilitarisation" of the remainder of the Ukraine. Minutes later, explosions were reported at various points throughout the country, including the Ukrainian capital of Kiev as well as at Kharkov, Odessa, and several other cities. Ukrainian officials attributed these to cruise and ballistic missiles launched by Russian units at their military installations.

Russian ground troops were reported entering the Ukraine at around 06:48 local time near the city of Senkivka on the northern border, with others entering from the Crimea in the south shortly thereafter.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/23/europe/russia-ukraine-putin-military-operation-donbas-intl-hnk/index.html Russia launches military attack on Ukraine with reports of explosions and troops crossing border]. CNN. Thu February 24, 2022.</ref> Ukrainian government sources reported throughout the day that Russian units had launched attacks on numerous targets, including a landing of airborne soldiers at the Antonov International Airport outside Kiev, but added that their own forces were counterattacking and had inflicted heavy casualties on the Russians. A press conference by Ukrainian President Zelensky at 16:00 Kiev time revealed that heavy fighting was occurring in the [[Chernobyl]] Exclusion Zone, site of the 1986 nuclear accident, which lies along the direct route of advance towards Kiev from the north.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/chernobyl-nuclear-russia-attack-ukraine-b2022444.html Fighting breaks out close to Chernobyl nuclear waste facility, says Ukrainian president] Rory Sullivan, ''The Independent'' (UK). Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

==Reactions==

Russia's actions in the Donbas region were condemned by a number of world leaders. In a speech to the House of Commons on 24 February, British Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] called Putin's claim of seeking the "demilitarisation and denazification" of the Ukraine an "absurd pretext" and accused him of attacking his "free and peaceful neighbor. "Putin will stand condemned," he said, "in the eyes of the world and of history."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgQ10FfZyOs</ref> [[NATO]] Secretary General [[Jens Stoltenberg]] announced that NATO troops would be deployed to Poland in the near future; at the same time, the [[EU]] warned of "massive" sanctions against Russian assets.<ref>[https://euobserver.com/world/154423 'Massive' EU sanctions to target Putin's war chest]. Andrew Rettman, ''The EUObserver''. Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

[[Pope Francis]] declared the next [[Ash Wednesday]] (2 March) to be an international day of fasting and prayer for peace, while Justin Welby, the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], called Russian movement into the Ukraine "an act of great evil."<ref>[https://www.churchofengland.org/media-and-news/press-releases/attack-ukraine-act-great-evil-statement-archbishops-canterbury-and Attack on Ukraine 'an act of great evil'-statement from Archbishops of Canterbury and York] The Church of England, 24 February 2022.</ref>

He was the first democratically elected official overthrown in a violent revolution in recent memory. The U.S.-backed [[coup]] was accomplished with the aid of anti-Russian, anti-democratic [[neo-Nazi]]s and traitors to Ukraine. It was an unconstitutional U.S.-sponsored [[regime change]].

As of 2021, 13,000 people had been killed in the conflict.<ref>https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/UA/29thReportUkraine_EN.pdf</ref>

In early December 2021 it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125,000 troops, half of its forces, against the predominantly Russian speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.<ref>https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2021/12/01/russia-ukraine-has-deployed-half-of-its-army-to-donbass-conflict-zone</ref> More than 600,000 Russian citizens reside in Donbas.<ref>http://uawire.org/kremlin-almost-640-000-donbas-residents-received-russian-passports</ref>

[[Crimea]] held a referendum and rejoined Russia rather than live under an illegal government. However, Russia did not accept the results of the [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] referendums in the Don River Basin, collectively known as Donbas. Donetsk and Luhansk declared independence from [[Kyiv]] and became known as the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. The Kyiv regime tried to retake the two separatist provinces.

An email sent from [[Hunter Biden]] to his business partner [[Devon Archer]] on April 13, 2014, contained information from a classified [[State Department]] memo one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet prime minister [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]].

On April 16, 2014 ''[[Forbes]]'' reported Obama CIA Dir. [[John Brennan]]'s visited the new undemocratically elected [[Obama administration]]-backed regime in Kyiv.<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/melikkaylan/2014/04/16/why-cia-director-brennan-visited-kiev-in-ukraine-the-covert-war-has-begun/#248cdd8510cb</ref> Two weeks later on May 2, 2014, Ukrainian nationalists murdered at least 42 Russians, most burnt alive in the Odessa Trades Union Building.<ref>https://www.opednews.com/populum/pagem.php?f=Odessa--the-First-Pogrom-by-George-Eliason-Activism-Anti-War_Civil-Disobedience_Class-War_Obama-Warmonger-140507-595.html</ref> Some eyewitnesses claim the real number is over a hundred. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref>

The Maidan fascists according to eyewitnesses outnumbered the anti-Kiev protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.

A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails while the boys were busy using them to burn people alive.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond for hours. The Maidan activists blocked the lone fire truck and wouldn't let the firefighters operate.

===Murder, assassination and kidnapping===
On March 25, 2019, Vasily Prozorov, a former employee of the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU) held a press conference. He reported that from April 2014 he rendered assistance to the special services of Russia. “From April 2014 I absolutely voluntarily, for ideological reasons, assisted the special services of the [[Russian Federation]] in obtaining information about the activities of Ukrainian [[law enforcement]], in particular in the area of the ATO (Kiev’s military operation in the Donbass),” he stressed. According to Prozorov, he decided to do this after the events on “[[Maidan]]”.<ref>https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/</ref>

Prozorov informed Russia about the whereabouts of Russian ''Life News'' journalists detained in May 2014 by Ukrainian military personnel. He described that back then he worked in the team of the Security Service of Ukraine in one of the villages near [[Slavyansk]], where these journalists were detained. He immediately reported where they were, “because there were many who wanted to introduce your colleagues as military personnel and start their interrogations.”

In the area of conducting military operations in Donbass there are secret SBU prisons. One of them is located at the airport of [[Mariupol]]. The location is called “the library (библиотека),<ref>https://youtu.be/2r5g0W3bTXg</ref> and its prisoners are called books”. According to Prozorov, it was possible to end up in such a prison for anything, including on suspicion of working for the Russian Federation, [[DPR]], and [[LPR]].

The leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics became victims of special operations, and not internal conflicts. “I am not omniscient, but concerning Motorola and Givi I am 100% sure that it was an operation of the special fifth department of the SBU and the special operations forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he specified. According to Prozorov, employees of the Special Operations Forces are constantly trained under the guidance of instructors from the [[UK]] and other countries. Their specialties are acts of [[terrorism]] and the deployment of a partisan insurrection movement.

[[Fascist]] and Nazi views are widespread in Ukrainian law enforcement structures. Prozorov noted that this concerns not only voluntary battalions, where this phenomenon is rampant, but also about linear units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and National Guard.

The “Azov” formation is a non-controlled paramilitary formation that is subordinated only to its leader and the Interior Minister [[Arsen Avakov]]. Prozorov recalled that in May 2017 another truce was concluded between the parties to the conflict. However, on May 9–10 the Azov artillery shelled the DPR and Mariupol. The former SBU officer noted that this is how the battalion carried out the orders of their superior, without informing the leadership of the ATO and the National Guard.

==Minsk Agreements==
A truce was negotiated between the two separatist Republics and the Kyiv regime in late 2014 and early 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]] and known as the Minsk Agreements. The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]]. [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well. The Minsk Agreements would give autonomy to the two provinces while remaining part of Ukraine. However the Ukraine regime did nothing to further implement the agreements after 2015, and only a ceasefire for the use of heavy weapons (tanks and artillery) remained in place.
The Minsk Agreements established a 12-point roadmap to ensure an immediate bilateral ceasefire; carry out decentralization of power, allowing temp
orary local self-government in areas of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine under a "special status" law; immediately free all hostages and illegally detained persons; ensure monitoring on the Ukrainian-Russian border and a security zone; ensure the holding of snap local elections in Donetsk and Luhansk; remove illegal armed groups, military hardware, and all fighters and mercenaries from Ukrainian territory; pass a law against the prosecution and punishment of people over certain events in Donetsk and Luhansk region.<ref>https://archive.fo/owxxq</ref>

In March 2016 the Maidan regime forces set up its fortifications in the area "Industrial Zone", until then a buffer zone between the [[Donetsk People's Republic]] controlled territories and the Kyiv regime army controlled territory in the eastern part of Avdiivka. This meant that the Donetsk People's Militia no longer had full control of the highway that united their controlled cities [[Donetsk]] and Horlivka and that it became more difficult for them to fire at Avdiivka with weapons not prohibited by the Minsk II agreement. Since March 2016 fighting for Avdiivka's "Industrial Zone" greatly intensified.<ref>[http://pda.pravda.com.ua/articles/id_7134026/ Freeze on fire.

Over the next few days, Maidan fascists made multiple attempts to enter the city, but were bogged down by heavy fighting with the citizens of Donbas defending their homes. Maidan forces attempted to enter Ilovaisk during the day on August 18, but failed.

==Battle of Debaltsevo==
In 2014, after the start of the [[Donbass war]], Major General [[Syrsky]] was appointed [[chief of staff]] - first deputy head of the ATO (the so-called Ukrainian "Anti-Terrorist Operation"). Many Ukrainian officers blamed Syrsky for the huge losses that the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered in the [[Debaltseve]] cauldron in early 2015 and gave him the nickname “Kotlovoy General.” According to various sources, more than 3,000 soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed in the city of Debaltsevo and its environs, and almost all [[artillery]] and armored vehicles were lost. Even by the standards of a larger [[NWO]], these losses are significant.<ref>[https://rumble.com/v6mt61u-the-legendary-liberation-of-debaltsevo-part-12.html The Legendary Liberation of Debaltsevo (Part 1/2)], [[Graham Phillips]].

==Crowdstrike==
On January 3, 2017, George Eliason reported in an article entitled, ''Why Crowdstrike’s Russian Hacking Story Fell Apart- Say Hello to Fancy Bear"''<ref>https://washingtonsblog.com/2017/01/crowdstrikes-russian-hacking-story-fell-apart-say-hello-fancy-bear-2.html</ref>
{{Quotebox-float|"In the wake of the JAR-16-20296 dated December 29, 2016 about hacking and influencing the 2016 election, the need for real evidence is clear. The joint report adds nothing substantial to the October 7th report. It relies on proofs provided by the cyber security firm Crowdstrike that is clearly not on par with intelligence findings or evidence. At the top of the report is an “as is” statement showing this.

The difference between Dmitri Alperovitch’s claims which are reflected in JAR-1620296 and this article is that enough evidence is provided to warrant an investigation of specific parties for the DNC hacks. The real story involves specific anti-American actors that need to be investigated for real crimes.

For instance, the malware used was an out-dated version just waiting to be found. The one other interesting point is that the Russian malware called Grizzly Steppe is from Ukraine. How did Crowdstrike miss this when it is their business to know?

Later in this article you’ll meet and know a little more about the real “Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear.” The bar for identification set by [[Crowdstrike]] has never been able to get beyond words like probably, maybe, could be, or should be, in their attribution.

===Dimitri Alperovitch===

The article is lengthy because the facts need to be in one place. The bar Dimitri Alperovitch set for identifying the hackers involved is that low. Other than asking America to trust them, how many solid facts has Alperovitch provided to back his claim of Russian involvement?

The December 29th JAR adds a flowchart that shows how a basic phishing hack is performed. It doesn’t add anything significant beyond that. Noticeably, they use both their designation APT 28 and APT 29 as well as the Crowdstrike labels of Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear separately.

This is important because information from outside intelligence agencies has the value of rumor or unsubstantiated information at best according to policy. Usable intelligence needs to be free from partisan politics and verifiable. Intel agencies noted back in the early 90’s that every private actor in the information game was radically political.

[[The Hill]].com article about Russia hacking the electric grid is a perfect example of why this intelligence is political and not taken seriously. If any proof of Russian involvement existed, the US would be at war. Under current laws of war, there would be no difference between an attack on the power grid or a missile strike.

According to the Hill “Private security firms provided more detailed forensic analysis, which the FBI and [[DHS]] said Thursday correlated with the [[IC]]’s findings.

:''“The Joint Analysis Report recognizes the excellent work undertaken by security companies and private sector network owners and operators, and provides new indicators of compromise and malicious infrastructure identified during the course of investigations and incident response,” read a statement. The report identities two Russian intelligence groups already named by CrowdStrike and other private security firms.”

In an interview with Washingtonsblog, William Binney, the creator of the NSA global surveillance system said
:''“I expected to see the IP’s or other signatures of APT’s 28/29 [the entities which the U.S. claims hacked the Democratic emails] and where they were located and how/when the data got transferred to them from DNC/HRC [i.e. Hillary Rodham Clinton]/etc. They seem to have been following APT 28/29 since at least 2015, so, where are they?”''

According to the latest Washington Post story, Crowdstrike’s CEO tied a group his company dubbed “Fancy Bear” to targeting Ukrainian artillery positions in Debaltsevo as well as across the Ukrainian civil war front for the past 2 years.

Alperovitch states in many articles the Ukrainians were using an Android app to target the self-proclaimed Republics positions and that hacking this app was what gave targeting data to the armies in Donbass instead.

Alperovitch first gained notice when he was the VP in charge of threat research with McAfee. Asked to comment on Alperovitch’s discovery of Russian hacks on [[Larry King]], [[John McAfee]] had this to say.
:''Based on all of his experience, McAfee does not believe that Russians were behind the hacks on the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC), [[John Podesta]]’s emails, and the [[2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign|Hillary Clinton presidential campaign]]. As he told [[RT]], “if it looks like the Russians did it, then I can guarantee you it was not the Russians.”''

How does Crowdstrike’s story part with reality? First is the admission that it is probably, maybe, could be Russia hacking the DNC. “Intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to Wiki Leaks.”

The public evidence never goes beyond the word possibility. While never going beyond that or using facts, Crowdstrike insists that it’s Russia behind both Clinton’s and the Ukrainian losses. [[NBC]] carried the story because one of the partners in Crowdstrike is also a consultant for NBC.

According to NBC the story reads like this.
:''"The company, Crowdstrike, was hired by the DNC to investigate the hack and issued a report publicly attributing it to Russian intelligence. One of Crowdstrike’s senior executives is [[Shawn Henry]], a former senior FBI official who consults for [[NBC News]].

:''“But the Russians used the app to turn the tables on their foes, Crowdstrike says. Once a Ukrainian soldier downloaded it on his [[Android phone]], the Russians were able to eavesdrop on his communications and determine his position through geo-location.''

In June, Crowdstrike went public with its findings that two separate Russian intelligence agencies had hacked the DNC. One, which Crowdstrike and other researchers call Cozy Bear, is believed to be linked to Russia’s CIA, known as the [[FSB]]. The other, known as Fancy Bear, is believed to be tied to the military intelligence agency, called the [[GRU]].”

The information is so certain the level of proof never rises above “believed to be.” According to the December 12th Intercept article “Most importantly, the Post adds that “intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to [[WikiLeaks]].”

Because Ukrainian soldiers are using a smartphone app they activate their geolocation to use it. Targeting is from location to location. The app would need the current user location to make it work.

In 2015 I wrote an article that showed many of the available open source tools that geolocate, and track people. They even show street view. This means that using simple means, someone with freeware or an online website, and not a military budget can look at what you are seeing at any given moment.

Where Crowdstrike fails is insisting people believe that the code they see is (a) an advanced way to geolocate and (b) it was how a state with large resources would do it. Would you leave a calling card where you would get caught and fined through sanctions or worse? If you use an anonymous online resource at least Crowdstrike won’t believe you are Russian and possibly up to something.

:''”Using open source tools this has been going on for years in the private sector. For geolocation purposes, your smartphone is one of the greatest tools to use. Finding and following you has never been easier. Let’s face it if you are going to stalk someone, “street view” on a map is the next best thing to being there. In the following video, the software hacks your modem. It’s only one step from your phone or computer.”

If you read that article and watch the video you’ll see that using “geo-stalker” is a better choice if you are on a low budget or no budget. Should someone tell the Russians they overpaid?

According to Alperovitch, the smartphone app plotted targets in about 15 seconds. This means that there is only a small window to get information this way.

Using the open source tools I wrote about previously, you could track your targets all-day. In 2014, most Ukrainian forces were using [[social media]] regularly. It would be easy to maintain a map of their locations and track them individually.

===Drones===

From my research into those tools, someone using Python scripts would find it easy to take photos, listen to conversations, turn on GPS, or even turn the phone on when they chose to. Going a step further than Alperovitch, without the help of the Russian government, GRU, or FSB, anyone could take control of the drones Ukraine is fond of flying and land them. Or they could download the footage the drones are taking. It’s copy and paste at that point. Would you bother the FSB, GRU, or Vladimir Putin with the details or just do it?

In the WaPo article Alperovitch states “The Fancy Bear crew evidently hacked the app, allowing the GRU to use the phone’s GPS coordinates to track the Ukrainian troops’ position.

In that way, the Russian military could then target the Ukrainian army with artillery and other weaponry. Ukrainian brigades operating in eastern Ukraine were on the front lines of the conflict with Russian-backed separatist forces during the early stages of the conflict in late 2014, CrowdStrike noted. By late 2014, Russian forces in the region numbered about 10,000. The Android app was useful in helping the Russian troops locate Ukrainian artillery positions.”

In late 2014, I personally did the only invasive passport and weapons checks that I know of during the Ukrainian civil war. I spent days looking for the Russian army every major publication said were attacking Ukraine. The keyword Cyber Security industry leader Alperovitch used is “evidently.” Crowdstrike noted that in late 2014, there were 10,000 Russian forces in the region.

When I did the passport and weapons check, it was under the condition there would be no telephone calls. We went where I wanted to go. We stopped when I said to stop. I checked the documents and the weapons with no obstacles. The weapons check was important because Ukraine was stating that Russia was giving Donbass modern weapons at the time. Each weapon is stamped with a manufacture date. The results are in the articles above.

The government in Kiev agreed with my findings throughout 2014 and 2015. There were and are no Russian troops fighting in Donbass regardless of what Mr. Alperovitch asserts. There are some Russian volunteers which I have covered in detail.

Based on my findings which the CIA would call hard evidence, almost all the fighters had Ukrainian passports. There are volunteers from other countries. In Debaltsevo today, I would question Alperovitch’s assertion of Russian troops based on the fact the passports will be Ukrainian and reflect my earlier findings. There is no possibly, could be, might be, about it.

The SBU, Olexander Turchinov, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense all agree that Crowdstrike is dead wrong in this assessment. Although subtitles aren’t on it, the former Commandant of Ukrainian Army Headquarters thanks God Russia never invaded or Ukraine would have been in deep trouble.

How could Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike be this wrong on easily checked detail and still get this much media attention? Could the investment made by [[Google]] and some very large players have anything to do with the media Crowdstrike is causing?

In an interview with [[PBS NewsHour]] on December 22nd 2016, Dmitri Alperovitch finally produced the hard evidence he has for Russian involvement clearly. To be fair, he did state it several times before. It just didn’t resonate or the media and US intelligence agencies weren’t listening.

According to Alperovitch, the CEO of a $150 million dollar cyber security company
:''“And when you think about, well, who would be interested in targeting Ukraine artillerymen in eastern Ukraine who has interest in hacking the [[Democratic Party]], Russia government comes to mind, but specifically, Russian military that would have operational over forces in the Ukraine and would target these artillerymen.”

That statement is most of the proof of Russian involvement he has. That’s it, that’s all the [[CIA]], [[FBI]] have to go on. It’s why they can’t certify the intelligence. It’s why they can’t get beyond the threshold of maybe.

Woodruff then asked two important questions. She asked if Crowdstrike was still working for the DNC. Alperovitch responded
:''“We’re protecting them going forward. The investigation is closed in terms of what happened there. But certainly, we’ve seen the campaigns, political organizations are continued to be targeted, and they continue to hire us and use our technology to protect themselves.”

Based on the evidence he presented Woodruff, there is no need to investigate further? Obviously, there is no need, the money is rolling in.

Second and most important Judy Woodruff asked if there were any questions about conflicts of interest, how he would answer? This is where Dmitri Alperovitch’s story starts to unwind.

His response was
:''“Well, this report was not about the DNC. This report was about information we uncovered about what these Russian actors were doing in eastern Ukraine in terms of locating these artillery units of the Ukrainian army and then targeting them. So, what we just did is said that it looks exactly as the same to the evidence we’ve already uncovered from the DNC, linking the two together.”''

Why is this reasonable statement going to take his story off the rails? First, let’s look at the facts surrounding his evidence and then look at the real conflicts of interest involved. While carefully evading the question, he neglects to state his conflicts of interest are worthy of a DOJ investigation. Can you mislead the federal government about national security issues and not get investigated yourself?

If Alperovitch’s evidence is all there is, then the US government owes some large apologies to Russia.

After showing who is targeting Ukrainian artillerymen, we’ll look at what might be a criminal conspiracy.

Crowdstrike CEO Dmitri Alperovitch story about Russian hacks that cost Hillary Clinton the election was broadsided by the SBU (Ukrainian Intelligence and Security) in Ukraine. If Dimitri Alperovitch is working for Ukrainian Intelligence and is providing intelligence to 17 US Intelligence Agencies is it a conflict of interest?

Ukraine has been screaming for the US to start a war with Russia for the past 2 1/2 years. Using facts accepted by leaders on both sides of the conflict, the main proof Crowdstrike shows for evidence doesn’t just unravel, it falls apart. Is Ukrainian Intelligence trying to invent a reason for the US to take a hard-line stance against Russia? Are they using Crowdstrike to carry this out?

'''Real Fancy Bear?'''

Meet the real Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, part of the groups that are targeting Ukrainian positions for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. These people were so tech savvy they didn’t know the Ukrainian [[SBU]] (Ukrainian CIA/internal security) records every phone call and most internet use in Ukraine and Donbass. Donbass still uses Ukrainian phone and internet services.

These are normal people fighting back against private volunteer armies that target their homes, schools, and hospitals. The private volunteer armies like [[Pravy Sektor]], Donbas Battalion, [[Azov Battalion|Azov]], and [[Aidar Battalion|Aidar]] have been cited for atrocities like [[child]] [[rape]], [[torture]], [[murder]], and [[kidnap]]ping. That just gets the ball rolling. These are a large swath of the Ukrainian servicemen Crowdstrike hopes to protect.

This story which just aired on Ukrainian news channel TCN shows the SBU questioning and arresting some of what they call an army of people in the Ukrainian-controlled areas. This news video shows people in Toretsk that provided targeting information to Donbass and people probably caught up in the net accidentally.

This is a civil war and people supporting either side are on both sides of the contact line. The SBU is awestruck because there are hundreds if not thousands of people helping to target the private volunteer armies supported by Ukrainian-Americans.

The first person they show on the video is a woman named Olga Lubochka. On the video her voice is heard from a recorded call saying
:''”In the field, on the left about 130 degrees. Aim and you’ll get it.” and then ”Oh, you hit it so hard you leveled it to the ground.” ”Am I going to get a medal for this?”''

Other people caught up in the raid claim and probably were only calling friends they know. It’s common for people to call and tell their family about what is going on around them. This has been a staple in the war especially in outlying villages for people aligned with both sides of the conflict. A neighbor calls his friend and says “you won’t believe what I just saw.”

Another “fancy bear,” Alexander Schevchenko was caught calling friends and telling them that armored personnel carriers had just driven by.

Anatoli Prima, father of a DNR (Donetsk People’s Republic) soldier was asked to find out what unit was there and how many [[artillery]] pieces.

One woman providing information about fuel and incoming equipment has a husband fighting on the opposite side in [[Gorlovka]]. Gorlovka is a major city that’s been under artillery attack since 2014. For the past 2 1/2 years, she has remained in their home in Toretsk. According to the video, he’s vowed to take no prisoners when they rescue the area.

When asked why they hate Ukraine so much, one responded that they just wanted things to go back to what they were like before the coup in February 2014.

Another said they were born in the Soviet Union and didn’t like what was going on in Kiev. At the heart of this statement is the anti-OUN, antinationalist sentiment that most people living in Ukraine feel. The OUNb Bandera killed millions of people in Ukraine, including starving 3 million Soviet soldiers to death. The new Ukraine was founded in 1991 by OUN nationalists outside the fledgling country.

Is giving misleading or false information to [[intelligence community|17 US Intelligence Agencies]] a crime? If it’s done by a cyber security industry leader like Crowdstrike should that be investigated? If unwinding the story from the “targeting of Ukrainian volunteers” side isn’t enough, we should look at this from the American perspective. How did the Russia influencing the election and DNC hack story evolve? Who’s involved? Does this pose conflicts of interest for Dmitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? And let’s face it, a hacking story isn’t complete until real hackers with the skills, motivation, and reason are exposed.

===The Chalupas===
In the last article exploring the DNC hacks the focus was on the Chalupas. The article focused on Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa. Their participation in the DNC hack story is what brought it to international attention in the first place.

According to journalist and DNC activist [[Andrea Chalupa]] on her Facebook page “After Chalupa sent the email to Miranda (which mentions that she had invited this reporter to a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]]), it triggered high-level concerns within the DNC, given the sensitive nature of her work.
:''“That’s when we knew it was the Russians,” said a Democratic Party source who has been directly involved in the internal probe into the hacked emails. In order to stem the damage, the source said, “we told her to stop her research.””'' July 25, 2016

If she was that close to the investigation Crowdstrike did how credible is she? Her sister Alexandra was named one of 16 people that shaped the election by Yahoo news. The DNC hacking investigation done by Crowdstrike concluded hacking was done by Russian actors based on the work done by [[Alexandra Chalupa]]? That is the conclusion of her sister Andrea Chalupa and obviously enough for Crowdstrike to make the Russian government connection. These words mirror Dimitri Alperovitch’s identification process in his interview with PBS Judy Woodruff.

How close is Dimitri Alperovitch to DNC officials? Close enough professionally he should have stepped down from an investigation that had the chance of throwing a presidential election in a new direction.

According to Esquire.com, Alperovitch has vetted speeches for Hillary Clinton about cyber security issues in the past. Because of his work on the Sony hack, President [[Barrack Obama]] personally called and said the measures taken were directly because of his work.

Still, this is not enough to show a conflict of interest. Alperovitch’s relationships with the Chalupas, radical groups, think tanks, Ukrainian [[propagandist]]s, and Ukrainian state supported hackers do. When it all adds up and you see it together, we have found a Russian that tried hard to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in 2016.

In my previous article I showed in detail how the Chalupas fit into this. A brief bullet point review looks like this.

The Chalupas are not Democrat or Republican. They are OUNb. The OUNb worked hard to start a war between the USA and Russia for the last 50 years. According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'' in a rare open statement of their existence in 2011, “Other statements were issued in the Ukrainian language by the leadership of the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] (B) and the International Conference in Support of Ukraine. The OUN (Bandera wing) called for”… What is [[OUNb]] Bandera? They follow the same political policy and platform that was developed in the 1930’s by [[Stepan Bandera]]. When these people go to a [[Holocaust]] memorial they are celebrating both the dead and the OUNb SS that killed There is no getting around this fact. The OUNb have no concept of democratic values and want an [[authoritarian]] [[fascism]].

===Dmitry Yarosh===

Alexandra Chalupa- According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'',… “The effort, known as Digital Maidan, gained momentum following the initial [[Twitter]] storms. Leading the effort were: Lara Chelak, Andrea Chalupa, Alexandra Chalupa, Constatin Kostenko and others.” The Digital Maidan was also how they raised money for the coup. This was how the Ukrainian emigres bought the bullets that were used on Euromaidan. Ukraine’s chubby nazi, [[Dima Yarosh]] stated openly he was taking money from the Ukrainian emigres during Euromaidan and [[Pravy Sektor]] still fundraises openly in North America. The “Sniper Massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine by Dr. [[Ivan Katchanovski]], University of Ottowa shows clearly detailed evidence how the massacre happened. It has Pravy Sektor confessions that show who created the [[Heavenly Hundred]]. Their admitted involvement as leaders of Digital Maidan by both Chalupas is a clear violation of the [[Neutrality Act]] and has up to a 25 year prison sentence attached to it because it ended in a coup.

Andrea Chalupa-2014, in a Huff Post article Sept. 1 2016, Andrea Chalupa described Sviatoslav Yurash as one of Ukraine’s important “dreamers.” He is a young activist that founded [[Euromaidan Press]]. Beyond the gushing glow what she doesn’t say is who he actually is. Sviatoslav Yurash was Dmitri Yarosh's spokesman just after Maidan. He is a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist and was rewarded with the Deputy Director position for the UWC (Ukrainian World Congress) in Kiev.
In January, 2014 when he showed up at the Maidan protests he was 17 years old. He became the foreign language media representative for [[Vitali Klitschko]], [[Arseni Yatsenyuk]], and [[Oleh Tyahnybok]]. All press enquiries went through Yurash. To meet [[Dimitri Yurash]] you had to go through Sviatoslav Yurash as a ''Macleans'' reporter found out.

===Andrei Paruby===

At 18 years old, Sviatoslav Yurash became the spokesman for Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under [[Andrei Paruby]]. He was Dimitri Yarosh’s spokesman and can be seen either behind Yarosh on videos at press conferences or speaking ahead of him to reporters. From January 2014 onward, to speak to Dimitri Yarosh, you set up an appointment with Yurash.

Andrea Chalupa has worked with Yurash’s Euromaidan Press which is associated with [[Informnapalm]].org and supplies the state level hackers for Ukraine.

[[Irene Chalupa]]- Another involved Chalupa we need to cover to do the story justice is Irene Chalupa. From her bio– Irena Chalupa is a nonresident fellow with the [[Atlantic Council]]’s Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center. She is also a senior correspondent at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), where she has worked for more than twenty years. Ms. Chalupa previously served as an editor for the Atlantic Council, where she covered Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Irena Chalupa is also the news anchor for Ukraine’s propaganda channel org She is also a Ukrainian emigre leader.

According to Robert Parry’s article At the forefront of people that would have taken senior positions in a [[Clinton administration]] and especially in [[foreign policy]] are the Atlantic Council. Their main goal is still a major confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia.

The Atlantic Council is the think tank associated and supported by the CEEC (Central and Eastern European Coalition). The CEEC has only one goal which is war with Russia. Their question to candidates looking for their support in the election was “Are you willing to go to war with Russia?” Hillary Clinton has received their unqualified support throughout the campaign.

What does any of this have to do with Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? Since the Atlantic Council would have taken senior cabinet and policy positions, his own fellowship status at the Atlantic Council and relationship with Irene Chalupa creates a definite conflict of interest for Crowdstrike’s investigation. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was gaining ground and Clinton needed a boost. Had she won, would he have been in charge of the CIA, NSA, or Homeland Security?

When you put someone that has so much to gain in charge of an investigation that could change an election, that is a conflict of interest. If the think tank is linked heavily to groups that want war with Russia like the Atlantic Council and the CEEC, it opens up [[criminal]] [[conspiracy]].

If the person in charge of the investigation is a fellow at the think tank that wants a major conflict with Russia it is a definite conflict of interest. Both the Atlantic Council and clients stood to gain Cabinet and Policy positions based on how the result of his work affects the election. It clouds the results of the investigation. In Dmitri Alperovitch’s case, he found the perpetrator before he was positive there was a crime.

Alperovitch’s relationship with Andrea Chalupa’s efforts and Ukrainian intelligence groups is where things really heat up. Noted above she works with Euromaidanpress.com and Informnapalm.org which is the outlet for Ukrainian state-sponsored hackers.

When you look at Dimitri Alperovitch’s twitter relationships, you have to ask why the CEO of a $150 million dollar company like Crowdstrike follows Ukrainian InformNapalm and its hackers individually. There is a mutual relationship. When you add up his work for the OUNb, Ukraine, support for Ukraine’s Intelligence, and to the hackers it needs to be investigated to see if Ukraine is conspiring against the US government.

'''Alperovitch and Fancy Bear tweet each other?'''

Crowdstrike is also following their hack of a Russian government official after the DNC hack. It closely resembles the same method used with the DNC because it was an email hack.

ff-twitter-com-2016-12-30-02-24-54

Crowdstrike’s product line includes Falcon Host, Falcon Intelligence, Falcon Overwatch and Falcon DNS. Is it possible the hackers in Falcons Flame are another service Crowdstrike offers? Although this profile says [[Virginia]], tweets are from the Sofia, [[Bulgaria]] time zone and he writes in Russian. Another curiosity considering the Fancy Bear source code is in Russian. This image shows Crowdstrike in their network.

'''Crowdstrike is part of Ukrainian nationalist hacker network'''

In an interview with Euromaidanpress these hackers say they have no need for the CIA. They consider the CIA amateurish. They also say they are not part of the Ukrainian military Cyberalliance is a quasi-organization with the participation of several groups – RUH8, Trinity, Falcon Flames, Cyberhunta. There are structures affiliated to the hackers – the [[Myrotvorets]] site, Informnapalm analytical agency.”

In the image it shows a network diagram of Crowdstrike following the Surkov leaks. The network communication goes through a secondary source. This is something you do when you don’t want to be too obvious. Here is another example of that.

'''Ukrainian Intelligence and the real Fancy Bear?'''

Although OSINT Academy sounds fairly innocuous, it’s the official twitter account for Ukraine’s Ministry of Information head Dimitri Zolotukin. It is also Ukrainian Intelligence. The Ministry of Information started the Peacekeeper or Myrotvorets website that geolocates [[journalist]]s and other people for assassination. If you disagree with OUNb politics, you could be on the list.

Should someone tell Dimitri Alperovitch that [[Gerashchenko]], who is now in charge of Peacekeeper recently threatened president-elect [[Donald Trump]] that he would put him on his “Peacemaker” site as a target? The same has been done with [[Silvio Berlusconi]] in the past.

Trying not to be obvious, the Head of Ukraine’s Information Ministry (UA Intelligence) tweeted something interesting that ties Alperovitch and Crowdstrike to the Ukrainian Intelligence hackers and the Information Ministry even tighter.

'''Trying to keep it hush hush?'''

This single tweet on a network chart shows that out of all the Ukrainian Ministry of Information Minister’s following, he only wanted the 3 hacking groups associated with both him and Alperovitch to get the tweet. Alperovitch’s story was received and not retweeted or shared. If this was just Alperovitch’s victory, it was a victory for Ukraine. It would be shared heavily. If it was a victory for the hacking squad, it would be smart to keep it to themselves and not draw unwanted attention.

These same hackers are associated with Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa through the portals and organizations they work with through their OUNb. The hackers are funded and directed by or through the same OUNb channels that Alperovitch is working for and with to promote the story of Russian hacking.

'''Pravy Sektor Hackers and Crowdstrike?'''

When you look at the image for the hacking group in the Euromaidan press article, one of the hackers identifies themselves as one of Dimitri Yarosh’s Pravy Sektor members by the Pravy Sektor sweatshirt they have on. Noted above, Pravy Sektor admitted to killing the people at the Maidan protest and sparked the coup.

Going further with the linked Euromaidanpress article the hackers say” Let’s understand that Ukrainian hackers and Russian hackers once constituted a single very powerful group. Ukrainian hackers have a rather high level of work. So the help of the USA… I don’t know, why would we need it? We have all the talent and special means for this. And I don’t think that the [[USA]] or any [[NATO]] country would make such sharp movements in international politics.”

What sharp movements in international politics have been made lately? Let me spell it out for the 17 US Intelligence Agencies so there is no confusion. These state sponsored, Russian language hackers in [[Eastern Europe]]an time zones have shown with the Surkov hack they have the tools and experience to hack states that are looking out for it. They are also laughing at US intel efforts.

The hackers also made it clear that they will do anything to serve Ukraine. Starting a war between Russia and the USA is the one way they could serve Ukraine best, and hurt Russia worst. Given those facts, if the DNC hack was according to the criteria given by Alperovitch, both he and these hackers need to be investigated.

According to the ''Esquire'' interview “Alperovitch was deeply frustrated: He thought the government should tell the world what it knew. There is, of course, an element of the personal in his battle cry. “A lot of people who are born here don’t appreciate the freedoms we have, the opportunities we have, because they’ve never had it any other way,” he told me. “I have.”

While I agree patriotism is a great thing, confusing it with this kind of nationalism is not. Alperovitch seems to think by serving OUNb Ukraine’s interests and delivering a conflict with Russia that is against American interests, he’s a patriot. He isn’t serving US interests. He’s definitely a Ukrainian patriot. Maybe he should move to Ukraine.

The evidence presented deserves investigation because it looks like the case for conflict of interest is the least Dimitri Alperovitch should look forward to. If these hackers are the real Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, they really did make sharp movements in international politics.

By pawning it off on Russia, they made a worldwide embarrassment of an outgoing President of the United States and made the President Elect the suspect of rumor.

From the Observer.com, “Andrea Chalupa—the sister of DNC research staffer Alexandra Chalupa—claimed on social media, without any evidence, that despite Clinton conceding the election to Trump, the voting results need to be audited to because Clinton couldn’t have lost—it must have been Russia. Chalupa hysterically tweeted to every politician on Twitter to audit the vote because of Russia and claimed the TV show ''The Americans'', about two KGB spies living in America, is real.”

Quite possibly now the former UK Ambassador Craig Murry’s admission of being the involved party to “leaks” should be looked at. “Now both [[Julian Assange]] and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access? Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness. Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling.”}}

==US biological labs==
Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the [[US Department of Defense]] (DoD) and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The [[Pentagon]] has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
[[File:Biological research labs.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian military reported it had identified 30 sites where biological research with pathogens had been occurring under the direction of the [[Pentagon]].]]
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<ref>https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/</ref>

One such biological lab contractor is [[Metabiota]], a company financed by [[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the state owned Bank of China. Metabiota was awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the so-called "Defense Threat Reduction Program" in the former Soviet [[Republic of Georgia]] and Ukraine.<ref>https://govtribe.com/contract/award/hdtra114c0104</ref> Metabiota receives the lion's share of funding as a U.S. defense contractor for bio labs in Ukraine.

Captured documents published by Russia claimed the labs were working on [[biological weapons]] such as [[anthrax]] and plague and that the Pentagon instructed the labs to destroy them in violation of Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1500499205663645700</ref> Russia released captured U.S. documents indicating that among the work of the U.S.-funded biolabs was the testing of 400 and 4000 Ukrainian soldiers, respectively, for antibodies to Crimea-Congo fever and regional hantaviruses, and a search for anthrax spores in soil at livestock graves.

On March 7, 2022, the Russian military claimed to have identified 30 sites where pathogenic research under the direction of the U.S. Defense Department had been occurring on the territory of Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, "The Ukrainian biological laboratories in [[Lvov]] were conducting work with infectious agents of plague, anthrax, and brucellosis, while the labs in Kharkov and Poltava were working with infectious agents of [[diphtheria]], [[Salmonella|salmonellosis]], and [[dysentery]]…The government in Kiev had sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United States thousands of patients’ serum samples, primarily from patients of “[[Slavic]] [[ethnic]]ity”, under the pretext of testing [[COVID-19]] treatment methods”.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220307/30-biolabs-whose-activities-were-commissioned-by-pentagon-were-formed-in-ukraine---russian-mod-1093662299.html</ref>

''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022:
{{quotebox-float|"The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.

The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.

The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}
Kherson had been the first city to fall in the incursion. The first commemoration of the city's liberation from Nazism in 1944 was held since the Maidan coup. The eternal flame to the victims of Nazism and the soldiers who died liberating the city was relit.<ref>https://youtu.be/M68NrUWJCdc</ref>

By early March, 2022 partisan activity was reported in Kherson. NATO trained Ukrainian partisan militias and military units to use civilian vehicles to infiltrate and strike behind Russian units with mortar attacks and call in targeted artillery strikes.

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, vowed a guerrilla insurgency after the devastating defeat of Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield.<ref>https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/ukraine-says-russia-wants-to-split-nation-into-two/cid/1857888</ref>

The United States flooded Ukraine with billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, with some of those arms ending up in the hands of actual neo-Nazi battalions integrated into the Ukrainian government and military. The ''[[New York Times]]'' admitted that “[[C.I.A.]] officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html?smid=tw-share</ref> By definition, the U.S. is waging a [[proxy war]] against Russia, using Ukrainians as their instrument, with the goal of not ending the war but prolonging it, making the United States a cobelligerent.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-03-17/u-s-is-in-a-proxy-war-with-russia-panetta-video</ref>

On March 8, 2022, the [[U.S. Congress]] approved a $14 billion aid package for Ukraine - nearly equal to 10% of Ukrainian [[GDP]] ''before'' its loss of territory and population - insuring and funding an insurgency long past the Ukrainian military's defeat in the field by Russian forces.<ref>https://thehill.com/policy/international/597379-congress-reaches-deal-on-billions-in-ukraine-aid</ref>

[[File:Number-of-Explosions-in-Donbass-19-20-February-2022.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]
In early February 2022 Russia accused Ukraine's military of committing "crimes against residents of the eastern Donbas region" in a report filed with the [[United Nations]].<ref>https://theweek.com/russia/1010313/russia-in-report-to-un-again-accuses-ukraine-of-genocide-amid-shelling-in-donbas</ref> The Russian news outlet ''Sputnik'' reported that the [[Russian Investigative Committee]] opened a criminal investigation after the discovery of mass graves of civilians in Donbass. "The remains of at least 295 civilians who died as a result of indiscriminate shelling by Ukrainian armed forces in 2014 were exhumed from them. It is already known that among the remains there are bodies of women of different ages," a statement from the committee said.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220216/russia-opens-criminal-case-after-discovery-of-mass-graves-of-civilians-in-donbass-1093089542.html</ref>
Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] called the events in Donbass a "[[genocide]],"<ref>https://www.marketwatch.com/story/russian-documents-level-genocide-allegation-against-ukraine-in-eastern-donbas-region-11645114453</ref> saying that the Ukrainian government continues to violate [[human rights]], including by legalizing the [[discrimination]] of the Russian-speaking population in the country. On January 16, 2022 ''Tass'' reported that Ukraine mandated all print media are to switch to the Ukrainian language.<ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref>

In the run up to the wider war, both the [[United States]] and NATO rejected, without consideration, two formal diplomatic proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] for peace treaties between the Russian Federation, United States and NATO to avoid war. The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed. The U.S. and NATO rejected the proposals out of hand in December 2021, and instead acted aggressively by sending more NATO forces to Eastern Europe and continued to heavily arm Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/24/what-putin-says-are-the-causes-aims-of-russias-military-action/</ref>

NATO-backed neo-Nazi proxy forces attacked the [[Donbas]] again on February 14, 2022.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/17/western-media-is-literally-peddling-neo-nazi-propaganda-to-prompt-war-between-russia-and-ukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3848518841859137</ref> Military forces of the Russian Federation (RF) entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022, to put an end to the ethnic violence and de-nazify the areas where the children and grandchildren of World War II Nazi collaborators had been carrying an ethnic hatred of Russians since the [[Holodomor]] of the 1930s and earlier. A wave of [[patriotism]] swept over Russian society, viewing the operation as a second [[Great Patriotic War]].<ref>https://thesaker.is/two-videos-from-the-ukrainian-blogger-iurii-podoliaka-must-see/</ref> Soldiers felt they were sent to finish the job of de-nazifying Ukraine that their grandfathers left unfinished after World War II. The use of civilian human shields by the U.S-trained Armed Forces of Ukraine led to civilian casualties and was a primary strategy of the NATO proxies. Ukrainian security forces committed reprisal actions and atrocities against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in areas which Russian forces vacated. Numerous attacks by Ukrainian forces on its own citizens, which had been ongoing in the Donbas region for the eight previous years, spread outside the Donbas to create [[false flag]] images of attacks by Russians. Efforts to rehabilitate the image and reputation of Nazis and Nazism by Western and Ukrainian media and [[psyop]]s were non-stop since the beginning of the Russian incursion, with permanent and debilitating damage to the West's educational system and image throughout the civilized world. By early April 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been so degraded and decimated, or were out of fuel and unable to retreat, the Maidan regime doubled down on soft power, [[psyops|psychological operations]] and propaganda to garner sympathy from the West for continued support.
[[File:AFU troop concentrations prior to SMO.PNG|right|300px|thumb|AFU troop concentrations on eastern Ukraine's border on eve of the Russian SMO, February 24, 2022. According to the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Ukraine had massed 122,000 troops on the border with Donbas. The Duma furthermore has claimed to have intelligence indicating that these troops were planning an offensive into Donbas on March 7, 2022, which the Russian invasion preempted.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/21/putin-recognizes-donbass-independence-as-violence-soars/</ref>]]
In early December 2021 it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125,000 troops, half of its forces, against the predominantly Russian speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.<ref>https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2021/12/01/russia-ukraine-has-deployed-half-of-its-army-to-donbass-conflict-zone</ref> Previously, on October 19, 2022, ''The Jerusalem Post'' reported that Canada, the US, France, the UK and other Western countries helped train neo-Nazi extremists in Ukraine.<ref>https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/western-countries-training-far-right-extremists-in-ukraine-report-682411</ref> Military analyst Boris Rozhin predicted an escalation of the conflict by the Kyiv regime and their NATO consultants with a full-scale provocation in Donbas.

The Ukrainian authorities intend to repeat the “Serbian scenario” in the territory of Donbas in order to expel citizens of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics from their homeland at gunpoint and take control of the region.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/01/17/ethnic-cleansing-in-donbass-kiev-prepares-republics-for-croatian-storm/</ref> More than 600,000 Russian citizens reside in Donbas.<ref>http://uawire.org/kremlin-almost-640-000-donbas-residents-received-russian-passports</ref>

In the previous reporting period, it recorded 591 ceasefire violations in the region. In Luhansk region, between the evenings of 18 and 20 February, the Mission recorded 1,073 ceasefire violations, including 926 explosions. In the previous reporting period, it recorded 975 ceasefire violations in the region.<ref>https://www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/512683</ref>

===Propaganda war===
In their drive to stoke hostilities between [[the West]] and Russia, corporate media ignored the fact that the U.S. and NATO forces have been supporting openly Neo-Nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine for many years. A MintPress study of the op-ed pages of ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Wall Street Journal'' found that only one of 91 articles published in January 2022 mentioned this connection at all, with far more asserting that Vladimir Putin himself is Hitler incarnate. Around 90% of opinion columns pushed a “get tough on Russia” message, with anti-war voices few and far between.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/279612-2/279612/</ref> “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” Ivan Katchanovski, Professor of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, told MintPress, adding:
[[File:Wolfsangel.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian flag with Nazi SS Wolfsangel insignia. Ukrainian Nazis served in the Nazi SS Galacia Division to fight against Russia in [[World War II]] and are known for horrific atrocities against Russian, [[Polish]], and [[Jewish]] civilians.<ref>https://spzh.news/en/zashhita-very/68324-ss-galichina-uniaty-kholokost-i-zhizny-v-sostojanii-lzhi</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in Donbas even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention. The Western media also omitted that recent ‘unity marches’ in Kharkiv and Kyiv and a staged training of civilians, including a grandmother, were organized and led by the far right, in particular, the [[Azov Battalion|Neo-Nazi Azov [Battalion].]]”<ref>https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski/status/1490034084600594436</ref>}}
Conducting a civilian training operation in the middle of the Donbas city of [[Mariupol]] while a crowd of Western journalists looked on, Azov units showed locals how to use rifles. The image of a silver-haired, 79-year-old “babushka” staring down the sights of an [[AK-47]] went viral around the world, allowing the media to construct an “everyone in brave Ukraine is doing their part to oppose an imminent Russian invasion” narrative. The story was covered by a host of outlets, including [[ABC News]], [[MSNBC]], [[Newsweek]], the [[BBC]], ''[[The Guardian]]'' and The Financial Times, as well as by media in [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[Israel]], [[Denmark]], [[Thailand]] and [[Indonesia]]. Images from the training day featured on the front cover of six national British newspapers on February 14, 2022.

This was all despite the fact that the Wolfsangel insignia of the many Azov soldiers instructing the grandmother is clearly visible in a number of the images. The Wolfsangel was the crest of the infamous [[SS]] brigades, [[Hitler]]’s elite paramilitary units that carried out the extermination of millions of people (including countless Ukrainians) in Nazi death camps across Europe. The image is widely used by Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. and is considered a hate symbol by the [[Anti-Defamation League]]. Azov’s original commander, politician Andriy Biletsky, has stated that he sees Ukraine’s mission as to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against [[Semite]]-led subhumans.” None of the outlets above mentioned the fact that they were profiling Neo-Nazis.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-reveal-us-ned-spent-22m-promoting-anti-russia-narrative-ukraine/279734/</ref>

===Evacuation of Russian citizens===

As tensions escalated in mid-February 2022, some 700,000 women, children, and elderly were being evacuated to Rostov in neighboring Russia.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ukraine-russia-separatists-shelling-civilians_n_620fc47de4b0f2c343f3d4fa</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1406247</ref> Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] instructed the Russian government to house and feed people fleeing the Ukrainian military advance once they arrived in southern Russia. Each refugee arriving from Donbass is to be given a payment of 10,000 roubles ($129). [[RT]] reported Denis Pushilin, the head of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]] warned, "Kiev can start a full-scale assault on Donbass at any moment, the situation is critical”<ref>https://www.rt.com/russia/549912-donetsk-leader-ukraine-invasion-war/</ref> A fullscale [[mobilization]] was ordered, and men 18 to 55 were conscripted to remain and defend against the Ukrainian military attack.<ref>https://youtu.be/GksixfgW_Q0</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/hUTXV4VusTM</ref>

===Cyberattack===
On February 19, 2022, Luhansk internet providers came under cyberattack.<ref>https://aleph.wtf/22943/</ref>

===Ceasefire violations===
On February 19, 2022, the JCCC reported: “A total of 49 ceasefire violations by the Ukrainian armed forces were registered on the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the past day."<ref>https://tass.com/world/1406513</ref>

===Peacekeepers===
After repeated artillery sheeling of civilian residences by NATO-baked Ukrainian fascists, Russian peacekeeper forces were sent into the independent Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk on February 21, 2022.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/donbas-rebel-leaders-formally-urge-immediate-russian-military-assistance</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/a73W9wNZx4M</ref>

===Operation Denazification===
{{See also|Operation Denazification}}
On February 23, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into Greater Ukraine in a demilitarization and denazification operation.<ref>https://tass.ru/politika/13825671</ref>

In a televised speech shortly before 04:00 Moscow time on 24 February 2022, Putin announced that he had ordered Russian forces to enter eastern Ukraine. He insisted it was not Russia's intention to annex the country, but stated that Russia would protect the right of the self-declared breakaway republics to self-determination, and that it would do so by forcing the "demilitarisation" of the remainder of the Ukraine. Minutes later, explosions were reported at various points throughout the country, including the Ukrainian capital of Kiev as well as at Kharkov, Odessa, and several other cities. Ukrainian officials attributed these to cruise and ballistic missiles launched by Russian units at their military installations.

Russian ground troops were reported entering the Ukraine at around 06:48 local time near the city of Senkivka on the northern border, with others entering from the Crimea in the south shortly thereafter.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/23/europe/russia-ukraine-putin-military-operation-donbas-intl-hnk/index.html Russia launches military attack on Ukraine with reports of explosions and troops crossing border]. CNN. Thu February 24, 2022.</ref> Ukrainian government sources reported throughout the day that Russian units had launched attacks on numerous targets, including a landing of airborne soldiers at the Antonov International Airport outside Kiev, but added that their own forces were counterattacking and had inflicted heavy casualties on the Russians. A press conference by Ukrainian President Zelensky at 16:00 Kiev time revealed that heavy fighting was occurring in the [[Chernobyl]] Exclusion Zone, site of the 1986 nuclear accident, which lies along the direct route of advance towards Kiev from the north.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/chernobyl-nuclear-russia-attack-ukraine-b2022444.html Fighting breaks out close to Chernobyl nuclear waste facility, says Ukrainian president] Rory Sullivan, ''The Independent'' (UK). Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

==Reactions==

Russia's actions in the Donbas region were condemned by a number of world leaders. In a speech to the House of Commons on 24 February, British Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] called Putin's claim of seeking the "demilitarisation and denazification" of the Ukraine an "absurd pretext" and accused him of attacking his "free and peaceful neighbor. "Putin will stand condemned," he said, "in the eyes of the world and of history."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgQ10FfZyOs</ref> [[NATO]] Secretary General [[Jens Stoltenberg]] announced that NATO troops would be deployed to Poland in the near future; at the same time, the [[EU]] warned of "massive" sanctions against Russian assets.<ref>[https://euobserver.com/world/154423 'Massive' EU sanctions to target Putin's war chest]. Andrew Rettman, ''The EUObserver''. Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

[[Pope Francis]] declared the next [[Ash Wednesday]] (2 March) to be an international day of fasting and prayer for peace, while Justin Welby, the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], called Russian movement into the Ukraine "an act of great evil."<ref>[https://www.churchofengland.org/media-and-news/press-releases/attack-ukraine-act-great-evil-statement-archbishops-canterbury-and Attack on Ukraine 'an act of great evil'-statement from Archbishops of Canterbury and York] The Church of England, 24 February 2022.</ref>

The '''[[Russia-Ukraine War]]''' was a [[proxy war]] started by the [[United States]] in 2014 with the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of [[Ukraine]]<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/</ref> with the aid of [[neo-Nazi]] forces.<ref>https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY</ref>

There are multiple issues that led to the [[Russian]] incursion into Ukraine in February 2022:<ref>[https://youtu.be/yUblV23WL4c Reasons for the War between Russia and Ukraine].</ref>

1. [[ethnic cleansing]] of native Russians in the [[Donbas]] region and unrelenting shelling of civilian communities by the [[Maidan]] regime since 2014; 
2. defending the Russian homeland against NATO aggression; 
3. the Kyiv regime's [[discrimination]] against Russian speaking people and making them second-class citizens in the country of their birth; 
4. collective security between the Donbas Republics and the Russian Federation under Article 51 of the [[UN Charter]]; 
5. the 2014 NATO overthrow of the democratically elected government; 
6. the [[Heavenly Hundred|murder of at least one hundred protesters]] by U.S.-backed neo-Nazis during the Maidan coup; 
7. the burning alive of at least 48 anti-Maidan protesters in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] and subsequent cover up by the U.S.-backed Maidan regime; 
8. existence of the Maidan regime's [[Myrotvorets]] kill list public website of "enemies of Ukraine; 
9. the United States and NATO's violation of the Naval and Ground Warfare Hague Conventions; 
10. NATO's desire to dismember the Russian Federation in order to seize its oil and gas reserves using Ukrainian troops as cannon fodder; 
11. continued efforts by the [[CIA]] to subvert and overthrow the legitimate governments of [[Belarus]] and Russia; 
12. [[NATO]] infiltration into [[Ukraine]] and supplying weapons and training to [[neo-Nazi]] groups; 
13. NATO's violation of the Joint Allied Ceasefire Declaration of May 1945 ending [[World War II]] which declared membership in a Nazi organization a crime; 
14. NATO-Ukraine's destruction of monuments to soldiers who defeated Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, and fascism and liberated the territories of Ukraine;

==1991 - 2022==
{{See also|History of Ukraine}}
When the [[Soviet Union]] collapsed in 1991, 25 million ethnic Russians woke up the next day finding themselves citizens of countries outside Russia proper. Working and retired ethnic Russians in their new countries of citizenship lost the social security pension benefits that the former Soviet regime had promised them. None of these citizens and workers had any democratic voice in their fate. Many if not most of these ethnic Russians themselves were the descendants of victims of the Soviet [[communist]] regime whose parents or grandparents had been deported to Soviet Republics outside of the Russian Federation by the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]]'s security services, the [[NKVD]] for being uncooperative in the Soviet system. Putin called the loss of Russian citizenship and citizenship rights as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union a "genuine tragedy". As of 2014 when the U.S.-backed Maidan coup occurred in Ukraine, 10 million Russians lived as a minority in [[multicultural]] Ukraine. Immediately after the new unelected regime was installed by the West, discriminatory laws and ethnic violence targeted the Russian minority. The [[Donbas war]] claimed nearly 14,000 lives between 2014 and 2022, mostly civilians including children and elderly, as the West and the rest of the "civilized" world ignored the crisis.

In the run up to the wider war, both the United States and NATO rejected, without consideration, two formal diplomatic proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] for peace treaties between the Russian Federation, United States and NATO to avoid war.<ref>[https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790818/?lang=en Treaty between The United States of America and the Russian Federation on security guarantees], Ministry of the Russian Federation, 17 December 2021.</ref><ref>[https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790803/?lang=en Agreement on measures to ensure the security of The Russian Federation and member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization], Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation, 17 December 2021.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/woOvb US, NATO rule out halt to expansion, reject Russian demands]. By MATTHEW LEE and LORNE COOK, ''Associated Press'', January 7, 2022.</ref> The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed. The U.S. and NATO rejected the proposals out of hand in December 2021, and instead acted aggressively by sending more NATO forces to Eastern Europe and continued to heavily arm Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/24/what-putin-says-are-the-causes-aims-of-russias-military-action/</ref>

NATO-backed neo-Nazi proxy forces attacked the [[Donbas]] again on February 14, 2022.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/17/western-media-is-literally-peddling-neo-nazi-propaganda-to-prompt-war-between-russia-and-ukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3848518841859137</ref><ref>https://kanekoa.substack.com/p/osce-reports-reveal-ukraine-started</ref> Military forces of the Russian Federation (RF) entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022, to put an end to the ethnic violence and de-nazify the areas where the children and grandchildren of World War II Nazi collaborators had been carrying an ethnic hatred of Russians since the [[Holodomor]] of the 1930s and earlier. A wave of [[patriotism]] swept over Russian society, viewing the operation as a second [[Great Patriotic War]].<ref>https://thesaker.is/two-videos-from-the-ukrainian-blogger-iurii-podoliaka-must-see/</ref> Soldiers felt they were sent to finish the job of de-nazifying Ukraine that their grandfathers left unfinished after World War II.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/ItE2zdYHPcL2/</ref> The use of civilian human shields by the U.S-trained Armed Forces of Ukraine led to civilian casualties and was a primary strategy of the NATO proxies. Ukrainian security forces committed reprisal actions and atrocities against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in areas which Russian forces vacated. Numerous attacks by Ukrainian forces on its own citizens, which had been ongoing in the Donbas region for the eight previous years, spread outside the Donbas to create [[false flag]] images of attacks by Russians. Efforts to rehabilitate the image and reputation of Nazis and Nazism by Western and Ukrainian media and [[psyop]]s were non-stop since the beginning of the Russian incursion, with permanent and debilitating damage to the West's educational system and image throughout the civilized world. By early April 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been so degraded and decimated, or were out of fuel and unable to retreat, the Maidan regime doubled down on soft power, [[psyops|psychological operations]] and propaganda to garner sympathy from the West for continued support.

====Timeline====
*'''World War II.''' Ukrainian national fascists, led by [[Stepan Bandera]], at first allied with the German Nazis, massacre more than a hundred thousands [[Jews]] and [[Pole]]s.

*'''1950s to 1990.''' [[CIA]] brought Ukrainian [[fascist]]s to the [[US]] and worked with them to undermine the [[Soviet Union]] in Ukraine, running [[sabotage]] and [[propaganda]] operations. Ukrainian fascist leader Mykola Lebed was taken to [[New York]] where he worked with the CIA through at least the 1960s and was still useful to the CIA until 1991, the year of Ukraine’s independence.<ref>The evidence is in a U.S. government report starting from page 82. https://www.archives.gov/files/iwg/reports/hitlers-shadow.pdf Ukraine has thus been a staging ground for the U.S. to weaken and threaten Moscow for nearly 80 years.</ref>

*'''November 1990.''' A year after the [[fall of the Berlin Wall]], the Charter of Paris for a New Europe (also known as the Paris Charter) is adopted by the US, [[Europe]] and the Soviet Union. The charter is based on the [[Helsinki Accords]] and is updated in the 1999 Charter for European Security. These documents are the foundation of the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]]. The OSCE charter says no country or bloc can preserve its own security at another country’s expense.

*'''December 25, 1991.''' Soviet Union collapses. [[Wall Street]] and [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] [[carpetbagger]]s, among them [[Bill Browder]], move in during ensuing decade to asset-strip the country of formerly state-owned properties, enrich themselves, help give rise to [[oligarch]]s, and impoverish the Russian, Ukrainian and other former Soviet peoples.

*'''1990s.''' U.S. reneges on promise to last Soviet leader [[Gorbachev]] not to expand [[NATO]] to [[Eastern Europe]] in exchange for a unified [[Germany]]. George Kennan, the leading [[US government]] expert on the [[USSR]], opposes expansion. [[Sen. Joe Biden]], who supports [[NATO enlargement]], predicts Russia will react hostilely to it.

*'''1994:''' [[Bill Clinton]] co-signs [[Budapest Memorandum]] enshrining Ukrainian neutrality;

*'''2001:''' [[George W. Bush]] withdraws from [[Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty]] with Russia;

*'''2003:''' George W. Bush oversees overthrow of the [[Republic of Georgia]] government;

*'''2003-2008:''' [[US]] begins arming and training Republic of Georgia forces;

*'''2008:''' In April, George W. Bush invites Ukraine to join NATO in violation of the Budapest Memorandum;

*'''2008:''' In August, Republic of Georgia forces attack Russian peacekeepers triggering Russian-Georgian war;

*'''2009:''' Under the [[Obama administration]] Secretary [[Hillary Clinton]] organizes a "reset" with Russia;

*'''2011:''' Following the US-engineered "[[Arab Spring]]," US Senator [[John McCain]] claims Russia is next;

*'''2014:''' [[Barack Obama]] oversees overthrow of the Ukrainian government;

*'''2014-2019:''' US begins training Ukrainian forces;

*'''2016.''' The [[hoax]] known as [[Russiagate]] grips the [[Democratic Party]] and its [[liberal media|allied media]] in the [[United States]], in which it is falsely alleged that Russia interfered in the [[2016 US presidential election]] to get [[Donald Trump]] elected. The phony scandal serves to further [[demonize]] Russia in the US and raise tensions between the [[nuclear-arm]]ed powers, conditioning the public for [[war]] against Russia.

*'''May 12, 2016.''' [[Obama regime]] activates missile system in [[Romania]], angering Russia. [[Obama/Biden regime]] claims it is purely defensive, but [[Moscow]] says the system could also be used offensively and would cut the time to deliver a strike on the Russian capital to within 10 to 12 minutes.

*'''June 6, 2016.''' Symbolically on the anniversary of the [[Normandy invasion]], [[NATO]] launches aggressive exercises against [[Russia]]. It begins war games with 31,000 troops near Russia’s borders, the largest exercise in [[Eastern Europe]] since the [[Cold War]] ended. For the first time in 75 years, [[German]] troops retrace the steps of the [[Operation Barbarossa|Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union]] across [[Poland]]. German Foreign Minister [[Frank Walter-Steinmeier]] objects. "What we shouldn’t do now is inflame the situation further through saber-rattling and [[warmonger]]ing," Steinmeier stunningly tells ''[Bild am Sontag'' newspaper. "Whoever believes that a symbolic [[tank]] parade on the alliance's eastern border will bring security is mistaken." Instead Steinmeier calls for dialogue with [[Moscow]]. "We are well-advised to not create pretexts to renew an old confrontation," he warns, adding it would be "fatal to search only for [[military]] solutions and a [[policy]] of deterrence."

*'''2019:''' [[Donald Trump]] withdraws from the [[INF Treaty]] with Russia;

*'''2019:''' Donald Trump begins arming Ukrainian [[military]];

*'''2022:''' US trained and armed Ukrainian troops begin intensifying operations in the [[Donbass]] along Russia's border followed by the start of Russia's [[Special Military Operation]];

*'''2025:''' Donald Trump seeks "reset" with Russia while proposing [[Western alliance|Western troops]] enter Ukraine to freeze conflict as the West expands arms/ammunition production;

====US owned biological labs====
{{See also|U.S. funded biological labs abroad}}
Between 2005 and early 2022, the US poured more than $224 million into biological research in Ukraine, according to Russia's Investigative Committee.

Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the [[US Department of Defense]] (DoD) and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The [[Pentagon]] has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
[[File:Biological research labs.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian military reported it had identified 30 sites where biological research with pathogens had been occurring under the direction of the [[Pentagon]].]]
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<ref>https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/</ref>

One such biological lab contractor is [[Metabiota]], a company financed by [[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the state owned Bank of China. Metabiota was awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the so-called "Defense Threat Reduction Program" in the former Soviet [[Republic of Georgia]] and Ukraine.<ref>https://govtribe.com/contract/award/hdtra114c0104</ref> Metabiota receives the lion's share of funding as a U.S. defense contractor for bio labs in Ukraine.

Captured documents published by Russia claimed the labs were working on [[biological weapons]] such as [[anthrax]] and plague and that the Pentagon instructed the labs to destroy them in violation of Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1500499205663645700</ref> Russia released captured U.S. documents indicating that among the work of the U.S.-funded biolabs was the testing of 400 and 4000 Ukrainian soldiers, respectively, for antibodies to Crimea-Congo fever and regional hantaviruses, and a search for anthrax spores in soil at livestock graves.

On March 7, 2022, the Russian military claimed to have identified 30 sites where pathogenic research under the direction of the U.S. Defense Department had been occurring on the territory of Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, "The Ukrainian biological laboratories in [[Lvov]] were conducting work with infectious agents of plague, anthrax, and brucellosis, while the labs in Kharkov and Poltava were working with infectious agents of [[diphtheria]], [[Salmonella|salmonellosis]], and [[dysentery]]…The government in Kiev had sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United States thousands of patients’ serum samples, primarily from patients of “[[Slavic]] [[ethnic]]ity”, under the pretext of testing [[COVID-19]] treatment methods”.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220307/30-biolabs-whose-activities-were-commissioned-by-pentagon-were-formed-in-ukraine---russian-mod-1093662299.html</ref>

The term "biological weapons" includes biological formulations that contain pathogenic micro-organisms and toxins, as well as the means of delivery and use of said formulations. While the priority for Ukrainian healthcare is socially significant diseases such as [[HIV]], [[poliomyelitis]], [[measles]] and [[hepatitis]], US customers are interested in a completely different nomenclature: [[cholera]], [[tularemia]], [[plague]] and hantaviruses.

As a result of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, facts of work with the specified pathogens, which are potential agents of biological weapons, have been revealed. At the same time, it was noted that Ukraine had sent a request to the manufacturing company regarding the possibility of equipping the Bayraktar drones with aerosol equipment. In addition on March 9, 2022, three unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with 30-litre containers and equipment for spraying formulations were detected by Russian reconnaissance units in Kherson region. At the end of April 2022, ten more were found near Kakhovka.<ref>https://telegra.ph/Briefing-on-the-results-of-the-analysis-of-documents-related-to-the-military-biological-activities-of-the-United-States-on-the-t-05-11</ref>

Only three laboratories in Ukraine had the required safety criteria to undertake the type of research they were doing, according to the Russian military. Captured Ukrainian government documents point to a series of problems at one of those sites in Odessa.

Lieutenant General [[Igor Kirillov]], the head of the Radioactive, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces, accused the Kyiv regime of carrying out “inhumane experiments” on Ukrainian patients and of launching a biological attack against the Lugansk Peoples Republic in early May 2022. Other evidence suggests that when Russia moved soldiers into Ukraine in February 2022, attempts were made to weaponize drones to spread pathogens and to destroy compromising materials. In response to the revelations by Russia's Investigative Committee, the Pentagon fessed up in June 2022 to funding 46 biological research facilities in Ukraine over the last 20 years.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/pentagon-admits-biolabs-ukraine/</ref> Gen. Kirillov was assassinated in a [[terrorist]] attack in [[Moscow]] in December 2024.

In the 30 U.S. owned and operated biological laboratories the Russian military discovered on the territory of Ukraine in early 2022; the United States Department of Defense later reported the existence of 46 such facilities in Ukraine. Russian defense minister Gen. [[Sergei Shoigu]] said at the opening of the 10th Moscow International Security Conference in August 2022: "information provocations are aimed at distracting attention from the facts discovered in Ukraine that US experts have conducted banned military and biological research. Currently, a significant amount of data has been accumulated...US military-biological activities in Ukraine are not exceptional. Pentagon-controlled laboratories have been established and operate in many post-Soviet, Asian, African and Latin American countries. Local authorities generally have no control over research carried out on their premises that poses a lethal threat to the local population. The consequences of [[epidemic]]s, I believe, were felt by all during the period of the fight against the spread of [[coronavirus]]."

On September 19, 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry presented evidence of US military-biological activity in Ukraine to member states of the Biological Weapons Convention in Geneva.<ref>https://thesaker.is/statement-by-k-v-vorontsov-head-of-the-delegation-of-the-russian-federation-at-the-consultative-meeting-of-states-parties-to-the-biological-and-toxin-weapons-convention/</ref> on the territory of Ukraine in early 2022; the United States Department of Defense later reported the existence of 46 such facilities in Ukraine.

===American nuclear doctrine===
American military planners have quietly disposed of the Doctrine of [[Mutual Assured Destruction]] and now believe they can win a [[nuclear war]] with a nuclear first strike. The doctrine of America initiating, surviving, and "winning" a nuclear war is known as the doctrine of "[[Nuclear Primacy]]".<ref>[https://archive.is/TR1qG America’s Secret Planned Conquest of Russia], December 29, 2016 by Eric Zuesse.</ref> American military planners believe they can knock out [[Moscow]]'s command and control center before Russian leadership has an opportunity to react. While in most scenarios military planners understand the North American homeland and civilian population will take a hit, they believe portions of the US can ultimately survive and prevail.

Of course, destroying Russia with a thousand nuclear weapons would also destroy much of the world's food production, alter the climate and cause millions of refugees to flow out of Russia, but the United States would win the war.

===US funding and training Nazi paramilitary groups===
In 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a provision blocking any training of the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] by American forces. The House previously passed amendments banning support of Azov between 2014 and 2017, but due to pressure from the [[Pentagon]], the amendments were quietly lifted. This was protested by the [[Simon Wiesenthal]] Center which stated that lifting the ban highlighted the danger of [[Holocaust]] distortion in Ukraine.<ref>https://archive.ph/g7a9V</ref> NATO by-passed Congressional action by training Azov fighters in [[Canada]] under Operation Unifer with an $890 million budget.<ref>https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/operations/military-operations/current-operations/operation-unifier.html</ref> Congress later rescinded the prohibition in 2019. ''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022, six weeks before the Russian incursion:
{{quotebox-float|"The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.

The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.

The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}
''[[The New York Times]]'' reported on June 25, 2022:
{{quotebox-float|"[[C.I.A.]] personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, [[Kyiv]], directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces...a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and [[Lithuania]], also have been working inside Ukraine....commandos are not on the front lines with Ukrainian troops and instead advise from headquarters in other parts of the country or remotely by encrypted communications...the signs of their stealthy logistics, training and intelligence support are tangible on the battlefield....Ukrainian commanders recently expressed appreciation to the United States for intelligence gleaned from satellite imagery, which they can call up on tablet computers provided by the allies. The tablets run a battlefield mapping app that the Ukrainians use to target and attack Russian troops."<ref>https://archive.ph/IJ9yI</ref>}}
Every year since 2012 the Russian Federation has proposed a Resolution before the UN General Assembly entitled, "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of [[racism]], racial [[discrimination]], [[xenophobia]] and related [[intolerance]]."<ref>https://www.ohchr.org/en/calls-for-input/2022/combating-glorification-nazism-neo-nazism-and-other-practices-contribute</ref> Only two countries have voted to oppose it, Ukraine and the United States.<ref>https://countercurrents.org/2021/12/u-s-and-ukraine-only-two-countries-vote-against-un-resolution-condemning-nazism/</ref>

===Western duplicity in scuttling the Minsk Accords===

The [[Minsk Accords]] were negotiated between the two [[Donbas]] Republics and the [[Kyiv regime]] in 2014 and 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]]. The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]]. [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well.

A meeting between representatives of the four countries, France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine was held in [[Paris]] on January 26, 2022, in the context of the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220124122214/https://www.reuters.com/world/political-advisers-hold-four-way-talks-ukraine-paris-2022-01-22/</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220125205354/https://www.dw.com/en/scholz-macron-say-diplomacy-can-fix-ukraine-russia-standoff/a-60549166</ref> The representatives of the four governments confirmed their support for Minsk II and committed themselves to resolving existing disagreements. They supported an unconditional ceasefire.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220127023902/https://www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-macron/2022/01/26/declaration-of-the-advisors-to-the-n4-heads-of-states-and-governments</ref>

In June 2022 former Kyiv regime strongman [[Petro Poroshenko]], in an interview with Radio Liberty, admitted that he had signed the Minsk agreements, but had no intention to fulfill them. He noted that he wanted to buy time in order to get more weapons from [[the West]].<ref>https://tfiglobalnews.com/2022/06/20/ukraines-new-masterstroke-against-russia-is-actually-ukraines-biggest-pro-russia-move/</ref>

In an interview with ''Zeit'' magazine in December 2022, former German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] confirmed the [[Western alliance]]'s [[duplicity]] in using the Minsk Accords to buy time for the [[NATO]]ization of Ukraine to use as a battering ram for destruction of the [[Russian Federation]].

Merkel described the September 2014 Minsk agreement which France and Germany had brokered a ceasefire after the failure of Ukraine's attempt to subdue the republics of [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] by force. “[Ukraine] used this time to get stronger, as you can see today. The Ukraine of 2014/15 is not the Ukraine of today. As you saw in the battle for Debaltsevo in early 2015, [Russian President Vladimir] [[Putin]] could easily have overrun them at the time. And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much then as they do now to help Ukraine.” The [[Kyiv regime]]'s defeat at Debaltsevo resulted in the Minsk II protocol signed in February 2015. Merkel said that it was “clear to all of us that the conflict was frozen, that the problem had not been solved, but that gave Ukraine valuable time.”<ref>https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/merkel:-minsk-agreement-attempted-to-give-ukraine-time</ref>

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] responding to Merkel's comments stated, "The things that Merkel said in her interview - this is a testimony of a person, who stated it directly that everything that was done in 2014 and 2015 had only one goal: to divert the global community’s attention from the real problems, to buy some time, to pump the [[Kiev regime]] with weapons and to lead the situation to a large-scale conflict”.<ref>https://tass.com/politics/1547779</ref>

Former [[French]] president [[Francois Hollande]], an accomplice in the duplicity, corroborated Merkel's account. Under UN Security Council Resolution 2202 endorsing the Minsk Accords, Vladimir Putin has the right to intervene in Ukraine as a guarantor under his "responsibility to protect".<ref>https://www.voltairenet.org/article218584.html</ref>

==U.S. overthrow of the democratically elected government==
{{See also|Maidan coup}}
In 2014, the [[United States]], under the [[Obama administration]], orchestrated the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of Ukraine. This violated the "rules based order" that the United States claims to advocate. Obama Undersecretary of State [[Victoria Nuland]], who assembled the cabinet for the new illegal regime, selected Nazis to fill positions in the Ministry of the Interior (secret police) and Ministry of Defense due to their violently anti-Russian stance. Almost immediately, those ministries received U.S. funding and began coordinating with NATO.

==="Heavenly hundred"===
Key neoconservatives, such as [[Victoria Nuland]] and Sen. [[John McCain]], began pushing for the [[violent]] coup that in February 2014 ousted Ukraine's elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] and touched off the [[new Cold War]] with Russia. Senior U.S. government officials reportedly told the leaders of the [[Svoboda party]] that the deaths of a few protestors would not be enough to change Western support, but the Yanukovych government would only change if the number of victims was greater than one hundred.<ref>https://rumble.com/vxdun0-the-maidan-sniper-massacre-revealing-ukraine.html</ref>

On February 20, 2014, a sniper firing from a building controlled by the [[Pravy Sektor]] shot and killed both police and protesters. The organized mass killing of both protesters and the police had the goal of delegitimizing the Yanukovych government and its forces and seizing power in Ukraine. Oligarchic and Ukrainian nationalist elements were involved in this massacre. The official investigation by the coup regime was fabricated and stonewalled.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8</ref>

The official forensic investigations which were made public at the Maidan massacre trial revealed that on February 20, 2014, the absolute majority of the protesters were shot from side and back directions and from top to bottom directions, while videos and photos of the massacre showed them facing the Berkut special police force on the same ground level. In January 2015, a forensic ballistic examination conducted upon the request of prosecution concluded that bullets extracted from killed protesters did not match the bullet samples from any Kalashnikov assault rifle which members of the Berkut special police force were then armed. The findings of this computer-based ballistic examination and results of the other 40 ballistic examinations were reversed in a couple of ballistic examinations conducted manually in the very end of the investigation. Such unexplained reversals which contradicted other evidence, such as testimonies of wounded protesters and results of forensic medical examinations, suggested that the findings of the new examinations of bullets were unreliable and likely falsified. The forensic ballistic examinations also found that many protesters were killed on February 18–20 by hunting pellets and expanding hunting bullets, in particular, with caliber that did not match calibers of weapons used by the special police company, whose members were charged with killings these protesters.<ref>Katchanovski</ref>

A female Maidan medic during the massacre was pointing to the top of a building and shouting about snipers. But her words were translated in a [[BBC]] report as referring to six protesters killed by the snipers in that area. A Maidan protester and another Maidan medic, who were wounded near the same spot where two protesters were killed, both testified at the Maidan massacre trial that they were shot from this building. Government ballistic experts confirmed this during on-site investigative experiments.

These revelations were not reported by any Western media. This includes ''The New York Time'', which on April 5, 2014, profiled this wounded protester against the backdrop of an unquestioned report by the acting Kiev regime that blaming “former President Viktor F. Yanukovych, his riot police and their suspected Russian assistants for the violence that killed more than 100 people in Kiev in February.” It also includes [[CNN]], which filmed the shooting of this medic and attributed it to the government forces.

The Maidan regime investigation simply denies that there were any snipers there and in other Maidan-controlled buildings, and refuses to investigate them. This is done despite videos of such snipers and testimonies of the absolute majority of wounded protesters at the trial and investigation and more than 150 other witnesses about snipers in these locations.

The official investigation in Ukraine simply denies that there were any such snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, even though the Prosecutor General Office of Ukraine previously stated that snipers massacred many protesters from the Hotel Ukraina and other buildings.

Testimonies by five Georgian ex-military members in Italian, Israeli, Macedonian and Russian media and their published depositions to defense lawyers of police from the former regime in the Maidan massacre trial have also been ignored. They stated that their groups received weapons, payments, and orders to massacre both police and protesters from specific Maidan and Georgian politicians. They also said that they received instructions from an ex-U.S. Army sniper and then saw Georgian, Baltic States, and Praqvy Sektor-linked snipers shooting from specific Maidan-controlled buildings.

Western media silence also ignored a statement by Anatolii Hrytsenko, who was a Maidan politician and minister of defense, that the investigation of the massacre was stonewalled because of the involvement of someone from the current leadership of Ukraine in the mass killing.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171019101358/http://world.time.com/2014/02/21/ukraine-parliament-yanukovych-kiev-deal/</ref>

===Ukrainian racial theories===

In March 2022 the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, a governmental entity, published in both Russian and English a series of arguments claiming Ukrainians are pureblood [[Slavs]], while the Russian nation was formed through mixing with Asiatic tribes, "the Ugro-Finnish tribes: Muroma, Mernia, Wes, Meshchera, Moksha, Perm, Narova, and others,” it stated. The difference apparently is “visible to the naked eye”. Despite the common language, alphabet, history, society, culture, and literary traditions, the Institute denies that Ukrainians and Russians are "fraternal brothers," and states that Ukrainians are European, unlike "russian nomads" (spelled with a lower case "r". Several cabinet ministers in the Zelensky regime make a habit of always spelling "Russia" with a lower case "r".)

In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/</ref> The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.<ref>https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/</ref> The Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to ban Russian-language music.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-to-ban-russian-music-culture/31905236.html</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref>

Secretary of the Security Council Alexei Danilov said on the air of the NTA TV channel that the Russian language must be completely eradicated on the territory of Ukraine. According to Danilov, the Russian language is allegedly hostile to Ukrainians, so it has no place in this country. "The Russian language in general should disappear from our territory as an element of hostile propaganda and brainwashing of our population," Danilov said on a national talk show.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/10/21/national-security-and-defense-council-of-ukraine-the-russian-language-must-disappear/</ref> Danilov claimed that the "narrative" about the need to reach mutual understanding with Russian-speaking Ukrainians is highly dangerous for the state. "To plant these Russian narratives here is a very, very dangerous thing. Presumably, we have to understand each other, who they are, what they are. Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated.

Danilov complained about a large number of Ukrainian political experts who regularly appear on television using Russian as the main language. In response to this, the show host proposed to create and broadcast a list of Ukrainian public figures that speak Russian. He also said that the state-owned Ukrainian channel Freedom will abandon the Russian language and start broadcasting in English. “I would like to draw your attention to something else – we have a lot of experts who go from channel to channel and use Russian as the main language of their communication. Moreover, they are rated in some studies, they claim, they say that they will go to the president, somewhere else. Look, the Russian language should disappear from our territories altogether as an element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing for our population,” Danilov added.

The Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk sent out a tweet using the lower case "r" for Russians, which many Kyiv regime authorities use to express derision and disrespect:

The people of the Donbas refused to recognize the legitimacy of the illegal [[coup]], so the newly installed government sent the army to quell protests. The army refused to follow the new regime's orders to fire on civilian protesters. Some units even joined the protests. With the army proving itself unreliable, the U.S.-installed Kyiv regime incorporated neo-Nazi militias into official Ukrainian government armed forces, entrusted to perform the tasks that [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and Kyiv wanted. On May 17, 2014, the International Observatory of Ukrainian Crisis posted:
{{quotebox-float|“Reporting that militants of neo-nazi “[[Right Sector]]” have murdered a group of soldiers (members of the Ukrainian army) near Kramatorkaya Starovavarke (Kramatorsk)...The soldiers [of Ukraine’s army in Kramatorsk] didn’t want to kill civilians.

And just because they didn’t want to kill civilians!!!”<ref>https://archive.ph/BG5xK</ref>}}
A general rebellion against the illegal coup broke out. In September 2014, Amnesty International noted the failure of the Kyiv regime to deal with war crimes in the Donbas committed by neo-Nazi militias:
{{quotebox-float|“The failure to stop abuses and possible [[war crimes]] by volunteer battalions risks significantly aggravating tensions in the east of the country and undermining the proclaimed intentions of the new Ukrainian authorities to strengthen and uphold the rule of law more broadly.”<ref>https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/09/ukraine-must-stop-ongoing-abuses-and-war-crimes-pro-ukrainian-volunteer-forces/</ref>}}
When the Russian language was prohibited in Ukraine and the Ukrainian government was promoting neo-Nazi theories and practices, [[the West]] did not discourage, but rather encouraged such behavior and applauded Ukraine as a beacon of [[democracy]].

===Odessa Trade Unions House massacre===

On May 2, 2014, Ukrainian nationalists murdered at least 42 Russians, most burnt alive in the Odessa Trades Union Building.<ref>https://www.opednews.com/populum/pagem.php?f=Odessa--the-First-Pogrom-by-George-Eliason-Activism-Anti-War_Civil-Disobedience_Class-War_Obama-Warmonger-140507-595.html</ref>

According to eyewitnesses the Maidan fascists outnumbered the anti-Kyiv protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.<ref>https://youtu.be/s-bpkx0d1fM</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond. The Maidan activists blocked the lone fire truck and wouldn't let the firefighters operate.

Some eyewitnesses claim the real number is over a hundred. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref> The Western-backed Kyiv regime covered up the atrocities, most victims being ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine.

{{quotebox-float|"After massive 1 May antifascist demonstration, the Right Sector and the Ukrainian National Socialist Organization and not just "soccer fans" converged on the city. There are numerous videos showing the Odessa junta police and the fascist paramilitaries consulting with each other and the authorities in Kiev their joint actions.

On several videos, the police and the fascist mob can be seen as working closely together--militants shooting from behind the police, the police letting them pass, etc. In the morning hours, the fascist "pro-unity" marches congregated in several central streets of Odessa, thus drawing there antifascist protesters.

It is evident that this early phase was well planned as a diversionary tactic for the main target was the Kulikovo field with the Labor Union building which was the center of nearly all antifascist manifestations in Odessa. It is also there where antifascist patriots set up their makeshift tent city. The junta felt that this needed to be cleared and that, at the same time, the protesters must be taught a harsh lesson which would break the spirit of this "hero city," a title Odessa gained with several other select cities in the [[Great Patriotic War]].

The diversion worked, and many of the young antifascist activists remained in downtown. In well synchronized and organized columns, the fascist paramilitaries then quickly regrouped and moved against their principal target--the antifascist tent city on the Kulikovo field accompanied by units of the Odessa police. Because of the successful diversion, most of the people on the Kulikovo field were middle-age and older people with many women among them. As soon as they arrived there, the militants not only started burning and destroying the tents, but they also started killing the people. They did in such a way that, for most people, the only exit left was into the Labor Union building. That was a trap.

Once they got the people inside, the fascists started throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting. However, as can be seen on the photos and videos, the fire was mainly at the main entrance and in few several rooms elsewhere. Only a smaller number of victims showed signs of being completely burned. Many of the victims died of suffocation or strangling or their upper bodies or faces were burned. Many of the victims were shot into the heads. Many were beaten to death.

This means that most of the victims were hunted and killed one by one inside the building. This killing spree given the size of the building apparently lasted over several hours and as going on even when the much delayed and very feeble response of the fire department was detected.

All this time, the Odessa police stood by and some of the police with ties to the Right Sector reportedly assisted the fascists by shooting into the people who were climbing on the windows. After several hours, the police then acted and detained ... guess who ... some 60-80 antifascist survivors who then, without food or water, were kept for many hours in the police department, and charged with multiple crimes, including murder.

The one main thing, which the police was interested most, was trying to find at least one "Russian" in the group. Alas, this did not succeed. All the victims and now detainees were Odessites (unlike may of the fascist militants). An angry crowd later that day forced their release .... which profoundly upset the Right Sector murderers. An Odessite grandmother was memorably recorded "beating" with lilacs (who used to symbolize Victory Day--lilacs blossom in May) Odessa policemen who were blocking on Saturday the Labor Union building with the corpses (most likely well over 100) still there.

Only when it was dark, the Right Sector crawled back and came back to the scene of their crime singing and shouting "glory" to themselves. Evidently, the corpses were removed soon after--during the night for today, as various videos show, people started to roam the devastated building still shocked, distraught, and upset. As expected and true to its character, the junta first blamed the victims. They allegedly caused the fire themselves and burned themselves by throwing Molotov cocktails on the peaceful pro-junta protesters.

A later modified line, repeated by Western media, was that what happened was a "tragedy," but one without a perpetrator. The one problem identified was some sort of further unspecified failing on the part of the local police. The head of the police was replaced .... with an even more over Right Sector hand.

Following a cue from Catherine Ashton, [[Yatsenyuk]], the junta's PM, then issued a call (to an unspecified addressee) for an "independent investigation." The same assembly of fascist murderous thugs was planning to hit in a similar way Kharkov. The massive outrage and mobilization appears to have stopped this or at least delayed for now.<ref>http://ai-zhilin.livejournal.com/1360753.html</ref>}}
The Kiev regime took over the investigation and reported 46 dead in the building. However, Voice of Russia reported, "The interim Ukrainian authorities are hiding from the public the true death toll in Friday's tragedy in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, which actually claimed 116 lives, a member of the Odessa regional council told RIA Novosti Monday. "According to our data, there were 116 people killed in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa. Killed, not just "dead". "We don't use the word "burned" or "suffocated", because autopsies are not being performed, since the people have bullet wounds to the head," Vadim Savenko said.<ref>https://archive.fo/wip/Bt0JC</ref>

Luc Michel cites [[Oleg Tsarev]]: "We believe that in the House of Unions there are more than 100 corpses. The police let nobody in so that the corpses are not counted. We know exactly there are there minor children. We are sure that those in power will do everything possible to conceal the traces of this horrible crime. We want to conduct an investigation and prosecute those responsible for this crime, he told RIA Novosti."<ref>http://www.lucmichel.net/2014/05/07/lucmichel-net-what-hides-kiev-on-the-massacre-of-odessa-more-than-100-dead-children-victims-raped-before-their-death/</ref>

As tensions escalated in mid-February 2022, some 700,000 women, children, and elderly were being evacuated to Rostov in neighboring Russia.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ukraine-russia-separatists-shelling-civilians_n_620fc47de4b0f2c343f3d4fa</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1406247</ref> Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] instructed the Russian government to house and feed people fleeing the Ukrainian military advance once they arrived in southern Russia. Each refugee arriving from Donbass is to be given a payment of 10,000 roubles ($129). [[RT]] reported Denis Pushilin, the head of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]] warned, "Kiev can start a full-scale assault on Donbass at any moment, the situation is critical”<ref>https://www.rt.com/russia/549912-donetsk-leader-ukraine-invasion-war/</ref> A full-scale mobilization was ordered, and men 18 to 55 were conscripted to remain and defend against the Ukrainian military attack.<ref>https://youtu.be/GksixfgW_Q0</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/hUTXV4VusTM</ref>

===Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with the Russian Federation and Donbas Republics===
To provide a legal framework for Russian military support to Donetsk and Lugansk the Russian President Vladimir Putin had signed [[executive order]]s to recognize the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic as independent states:
{{quotebox-float|"In this regard, I consider it necessary to take a long overdue decision and to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic. I would like to ask the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to support this decision and then ratify the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance with both republics. These two documents will be prepared and signed shortly.<ref>http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67828</ref>}}
On Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the Federal Assembly held an extraordinary session and acted upon the recommendations:
{{quotebox-float|In a session held on Tuesday, the Duma, the lower house of Russia’s parliament, unanimously backed the deals, with 400 MPs voting in favor.

According to a [[Spetsnaz]] source, Russian forces recovered a nuclear dirty bomb that was brought into Ukraine from the West at Gostomel outside of Kiev in March 2022. So-called "armour piercing shells," as they are commonly referred to in the United States, in its media, and in Congressional committees, is actually a battlefield [[nuclear weapon]] that uses [[depleted uranium]].

Russian casualties were fewer than 400. Ukraine threw all its strategic reserves into the fight. Due to the magnitude of losses and the approaching seasonal change, Gen. Valerei Zalushni was reported to have advised Zelensky to cease the counteroffensvie and revert to a defensive posture.

On September 26, 2022, the United States attacked the civilian infrastructure oof Europe by sabotaging [[Nordstream]] pipelines in [[Danish]] water off Barnholm island,<ref>https://youtu.be/VEKtudJXPR4</ref> guaranteeing that the German people and others throughout the continent would lack natural gas for heating as [[winter]] approached. The detachment of US Navy ships led by the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge announced the completion of work in the area of the alleged sabotage on gas pipelines. US ships completed their tasks in the Baltic Sea and were spotted heading to the Baltic Straits into the North Sea. President Putin had proposed three weeks earlier to reopen the pipeline to alleviate Europeans home heating crisis<ref>https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-war/russia-ready-to-switch-on-nord-stream-ii-pipeline-tomorrow-if-europe-gives-green-light/2678820</ref> while Biden had vowed to end the pipeline.<ref>https://youtu.be/vbM7-r2VaMc</ref>

With the approval of the four treaties of accession to the Russian Federation by the Russian State Duma, the Special Military Operation came to an end and the four new territories came under the protective defense of the Russian nuclear umbrella. With the incorporation four new Republics into the Federation, Russia found itself under conditions that Russian Military Doctrine describes as the "massive use by the enemy of modern and advanced combat weapons" flooded into Ukraine by the Western powers NATO bloc.<ref>https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2000-05/russias-military-doctrine</ref>

===Legality of operation===

Vladimir Putin set forth a claim under the doctrine of 'anticipatory collective self-defense', devised originally by the [[Clinton administration]] and NATO in regard to the 1998 [[Kosovo]] conflict,<ref>https://youtu.be/rsSB_2RShBQ</ref> as it applies to Article 51 of the [[United Nations Charter]].<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/29/russia-ukraine-the-law-of-war-crime-of-aggression/</ref> The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by [[the West]]'s successful demands for Kosovo to be recognized as independent from [[Serbia]], and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.<ref>https://www.icj-cij.org/en/case/141</ref>

The Organization of World Peace reported in 2021, “according to Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021, Ukraine has committed to putting all options on the table to taking back control over the Russian annexed Crimea region. Signed on March 24th, President Zelensky has committed the country to pursue strategies that . . . ‘will prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the peninsula.’”<ref>https://theowp.org/ukraine-declares-all-options-possible-even-war-to-retake-crimea-from-russia/</ref> Given that the residents of Crimea, most of whom are ethnic Russians, are quite happy with the current state of affairs under Russian governance – this, according to a 2020 ''[[Washington Post]]'' report – Zelensky’s threat in this regard was not only a threat against Russia itself but was also a threat of potentially massive bloodshed against a people who do not want to go back to Ukraine.<ref>https://archive.ph/5s7Cd</ref> The Donbas war represents a much more compelling case for justifying Russian intervention under the ''Responsibility to Protect'' (R2P) doctrine which has been advocated by such Western ‘humanitarians’ as [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Samantha Power]], and [[Susan Rice]], and which was relied upon to justify the NATO interventions in countries like the former [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Libya]].

On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin addressed the nation and made clear the objective of the [[Special Military Operation]] in Ukraine was not [[regime change]]:
{{quotebox-float|"The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and [[genocide]] perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation. It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force."<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/full-transcript-vladimir-putin-s-televised-address-to-russia-on-ukraine-feb-24</ref>}}
Referendums were conducted in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson republics from September 23–27, 2022 for accession to the Russian Federation. 1,000 international observers were present for the referendums.

===Diplomacy===

During the night of February 25–26, 2022 Volodymyr Zelensky sent a ceasefire proposal to Russia via the [[Chinese]] embassy in Kyiv. The [[Kremlin]] immediately responded by setting out its conditions:<ref>https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/zelensky-prepared-to-surrender/</ref>
*arrest of all Nazis ([[Dmitro Yarosh]] and the [[Azov Battalion]], etc.)
*removal of all street names and destruction of monuments glorifying Nazi collaborators during the [[Second World War]] ([[Stepan Bandera]], etc.),
*laying down of weapons.

''Bloomberg News,'' reported: “The US-led drive to isolate Russia through sanctions has not succeeded, as half the countries in the Group of Twenty leading global economies refused to sign on...Senior officials from leading Western nations are surprised by the lack of support within the wider G20, despite their efforts to make the case for restrictions against Russia...[[Argentina]], [[Brazil]], China, India, [[Indonesia]], Mexico, [[Saudi Arabia]], [[South Africa]], and Turkey have not joined the sanctions that were adopted by the US, UK, EU, and their allies Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea...Some nations, like China and South Africa, have openly criticized the restrictions…The G20 nations account for around 85% of global economic output”.<ref>https://archive.ph/Aan9A</ref>
[[File:Zelensky and Boris.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Zelesnky and BoJo. Boris Johnson sabotaged peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine in April 2022. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian solders died needlessly in the following months,]]
''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in May 2022 on Boris Johnson's unannounced surprise visit to Kyiv shortly after Russia and Ukraine had reached a peace settlement in their talks in [[Istanbul]]. The Russians had agreed to withdraw to the pre-February 2022 borders and Zelensky would implement the [[Minsk Accords]]. ''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in essence what Johnson told Zelensky according to sources close to the Ukrainian dictator:
{{quotebox-float|"if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the [[Western alliance|collective West]], which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to "press him."<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/western-allies-led-uks-johnson-sabotaged-tentative-ukraine-russia-peace-deal</ref>}}

While fighting alleged "separatists" in Donbas, Zelensky called for war against [[China]] to protect separatists in Taiwan when he addressed the Shangri-La Dialogue summit in Singapore on June 11, 2022.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/06/11/zelensky-calls-for-support-taiwan-before-https://youtu.be/5TpDJcyZLP0china-attacks-ukraine-russia/</ref>

On August 3, 2022, Sen. [[Lindsey Graham]] announced that he was pleased with Ukrainian's willingness to "fight to the last person" as U.S. proxies.<ref>https://youtu.be/cGj-cHyEhPs</ref>

On August 4, 2022, Director General Fu Cong of the Chinese Foreign Ministry proposed, “The United States should withdraw all its [[nuclear weapon]]s from Europe and refrain from deploying nuclear weapons in any other region."

In August 2022 reports surfaced of a meeting between Lithuanian and Polish officials to discuss creating a Belarussian government-in-exile after the disputed 2020 presidential election.

On August 19, 2022 ''Zerohedge'' reported:
{{quotebox-float|"The western world is about to stop waging some bizarro war against Vladimir Putin that has sparked loathed energy [[hyperinflation]] across most of Europe, and is about to embrace the Russian leader, behind closed doors of course, even if it means a terribly vexxed [[Zelenskyy]] and US [[deep state]].

Why? Because "pariah" Vladimir Putin is about to re-emerge on the [[G20]] scene again, this time courtesy of [[Indonesia]]n President Joko Widodo, who today said that both Putin and China's president Xi both plan to attend the G20 summit in the resort island of [[Bali]] later this year.

“[[Xi Jinping]] will come. President Putin has also told me he will come,” Jokowi, as the president is known, said in an interview with ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on Thursday. It was the first time the leader of the world’s fourth-most populous nation confirmed both of them were planning to show up at the November summit, according to ''Bloomberg''.

Needless to say, the presence of Xi and Putin at the meeting will set up a showdown with the deep state handlers who control Joe Biden's teleprompter and other, less [[senile]] "western" leaders, all of whom are set to meet in person for the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The attack has left the G-20 divided over whether to place sanctions on Russia, because while a handful of G-20 countries are relatively self reliant, most are desperate for Russia's [[commodity]] [[export]]s, whose lack has sent European energy prices to... well, just look for yourselves.

Putin and Jokowi discussed preparations for the G-20 summit in Bali in a phone call Thursday, the [[Kremlin]] said in a statement that didn’t mention whether the Russian leader will attend. Putin’s attendance will also likely bring him face to face with [[Volodymyr Zelenskiy]] for the first time since Russia’s invasion because for some odd reason the Ukrainian president - who also doubles as a [[Vogue magazine|''Vogue'' model]] - is also slated to be in Bali."<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-will-attend-g20-summit-indonesia-despite-us-demands-exclude-russian-leader</ref>}}
Why Ukraine would be invited to attend a G20 Summit is a mystery to many people; Ukraine is nowhere near in size to a G20 economy. Prior to Ukraine's economy shrinking by an estimated 50% as a result of the war, it ranked No. 125 in size of 195.

On August 23, 2022, Zelensky told Donetsk President Denis Pushilin that if [[denazification]] trials of Azov Battalion war criminals went forward, there would be no ceasefire negotiations.

In addition to the Zelensky's regimes sheeling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and nuclear blackmail, the murder of Russian journalist and political scientist Darya Dugina in a Moscow car bombing was discussed during an emergency meeting of the [[United Nations Security Council]] on August 24, 2022. Russian investigators established the killing as an act of terrorism by the Security Service of Ukraine. Ukrainian Ambassador Petro Vrublevskyi told an interviewer on August 21, 2022, immediately after the bombing, "We are trying to kill as many of them [Russians] as possible. The more Russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to kill," according to ''[[Yahoo News]]''.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/trying-kill-many-them-possible-085433987.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall</ref>

On August 24, 2022, a U.S. sponsored UN General Assembly vote condemning Russia garnered only 58, less than 33%, of 195 member votes.

In Kyiv on September 10, 2022 [[Antony Blinken]] conveyed a message from Joe Biden to begin negotiations with Russia, according to ''Ukrainska Pravda''.<ref>https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/09/10/7366954/</ref>

On September 15, 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] warned, "Should Washington decide to supply longer-range missiles to Kiev, by doing so it will cross a red line and become a direct party to the conflict. Under such a scenario, we will be forced to respond appropriately."<ref>https://tass.com/politics/1508043</ref>

On October 7, 2022, French President Emmanuel Macron blasted Joe Biden for escalating the nuclear war rhetoric,<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/10/08/bidens-armageddon-comments-blasted-by-french-president-macron/</ref> comments which were echoed by Vladimir Zelensky the following day with a call for a nuclear first strike by NATO on Russia. White House national security spokesman and Ukrainian troll bot John Kirby
waked back Biden's comments, saying they were not based on any specific new information. Kirby said Biden's "comments were not based on new or fresh intelligence or new indications that Mr. Putin has made a decision to use nuclear weapons."<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bidens-warning-nuclear-armageddon-reflects-stakes-russia-imminent/story?id=91211670</ref>

After visiting with NATO boss Stoltenberg, Ukrainian Defense Minister [[Alexey Reznikov]] wrote on Twitter that the long-standing cooperation between Ukraine and NATO makes it possible to say that the country has ''de facto'' become a member of the North Atlantic alliance.<ref>https://tass.com/world/1522041</ref><ref>https://congressionalpost.com/ukraine-is-now-a-de-facto-member-of-nato/</ref>

After French President Emmanuel Macron, a NATO ally, pledged not to use nuclear weapons in a confrontation with Russia, UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace, a NATO ally, publicly scolded Macron for revealing his hand.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/britain-scolds-macron-for-revealing-his-hand-in-nuclear-war-of-words-with-putin/ar-AA12VxnJ</ref>

On October 13, 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference:
{{quotebox-float|"We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in [[Istanbul]]. These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.

This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.

Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.

We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the [[Soviet Union]] and are now in Russia."}}
In a move to further escalate the conflict, EU foreign ministers assented to start a military training program for 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers at a meeting in [[Luxembourg]] on October 14, 2022. In addition to training, it was also promised to create a fund valued at 500 million euros to finance European aid to Ukraine.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/eu-unveil-ukraine-training-mission-132254462.html</ref>

Podolyak told the ''Guardian'' that the Kerch Strait bridge linking Crimea with the Russian mainland was a target. “It’s an illegal construction and the main gateway to supply the Russian army in Crimea. Such objects should be destroyed,” he said.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/16/creating-chaos-zelenskiys-adviser-outlines-ukraines-military-strategy</ref>

Zelensky and Western propagandists claimed the Russians were firing on themselves to create a nuclear hazard.<ref>https://youtu.be/b28sN1tcbgI</ref>]]
On July 12, 2022, the AFU targeted the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) located in the town of Energodar. Russian forces have been in control of the plant, with Ukrainian technicians still operating it, since February 2022. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The attack was complex, involving drone and artillery fire. The Ukrainian Army used six kamikaze drones conducting reconnaissance mission over the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the city heating and water supply plant in Energodar. The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) dropped two mines near the power plant, which reportedly did not cause any significant damage. Another drone was heading in the direction of residential buildings in Energodar, its course may have been corrected. The UAV attack was thwarted, none of the six drones reached their targets, and the air defense of the Zaporozhye region successfully prevented the attack. The Ukrainians earlier launched a false flag attack against the plant in March 2022.

On July 18, 2022, Ukraine again attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this time with three kamikaze drones.<ref>https://youtu.be/S7lEXNC_O80</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/OkuFVXm1V25q/</ref>

Beginning on August 5, 2022, the 44th brigade of the AFU stationed in Nikopol, 18 kilometers across the [[Dnieper River]], increased shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant with US [[M777 Howitzer]]s. Kiev forces used a British-made Brimstone missile in one of the attacks. The situation was compounded by [[HIMAR]] attacks on the hydroelectric plant at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which provides electricity for the nuclear plant's vital cooling system. The political motive for shelling a nuclear power is reported to be motivated by upcoming referendums in September 2022 for the former Ukrainian oblasts of Zaporozhye and Kherson to join the Russian Federation. The Kyiv regime is attempting to intimidate the local population. Russia asked the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] to look into the matter. Sources on the scene familiar with the matter claimed Zelensky's shelling of the nuclear power plant was an effort to [[blackmail]] the Western powers for more military aid and financial support.<ref>https://tsarizm.com/news/eastern-europe/2022/08/22/source-ukrainian-troops-shelling-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-to-blackmail-west-for-military-aid/</ref>

By August 19, 2022, the town of Ugledar (pop. 15,000) came under Russian operational tactical encirclement, opening the door for operations behind the entire AFU Zaporozhye line.

On August 26, 2022, on the ground reports appeared of Zelensky ordering 1,000 Ukrainian troops with radiological protective gear to the Dnieper River across from the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.<ref>https://youtu.be/hWdIxRLryO0</ref>

On August 29, 2022, Ukrainian artillery fire began targeting a storage facility for nuclear waste.

At about 6 AM Moscow time on September 1, 2022, Ukrainian troops freshly trained in the [[United Kingdom]] landed on the coast of the reservoir three kilometers northeast of the Zororozhye nuclear power plant in two sabotage groups of 64 people in seven boats and attempted to seize the power plant, according to the Russian defense ministry. The provocation was aimed at disrupting the arrival of the IAEA working group at the Zororozhye nuclear power plant. Four Ukrainian shells exploded during the shelling at a distance of 400 meters from the first power unit of the Zororozhye power plant.

Russian intelligence was fully aware of the plans and had monitored the commandos from the time they left their training in the UK and crossed from Poland into Ukraine.

On September 2, 2022, a US-made Switchblade loitering drone crashed near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

On September 25, 2022, the Kiev regime again attacked the Zaporozhye NPP. Eight U.S. kamikaze UAVs targeted the station, but all were shot down by Russian forces. About 60 shells were also fired at the city of Energodar.

On October 16, 2022, NATO/Ukrainian forces attempted their fourth amphibious landing assault across the Dnieper river to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant. The Russian army destroyed the Ukrainian landing force, which was trying to carry out the attack on barges and speedboats.<ref>https://youtu.be/kTwDBfUMEmo</ref>

==Response to NATO interference: partial mobilization==

In a morning television address to the nation on September 21, 2022, address, Vladimir Putin announced a partial [[mobilization]] of military reserves:
{{quotebox-float|"In this situation, I consider it necessary to take the following decisions, they are fully adequate to the threats we face. Namely: to protect our Motherland, its [[sovereignty]] and territorial integrity, to ensure the security of our people and people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff on conducting partial mobilization in the Russian Federation....Only citizens who are currently in the reserve and, above all, those who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience will be subject to conscription for military service. Those called up for military service before being sent to the units will necessarily undergo additional military training taking into account the experience of a special military operation.}}
Additionally all military service contracts currently in force (usually 3 to 12 months) are extended indefinitely. Putin said that the current conflict was instigated by the West, noting that the Western countries seek the destruction and disintegration of Russia. He said that the West had been supporting international terrorists, promoted the infrastructure of the NATO offensive close to Russia's borders and fostered Russophobia.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said:
{{quotebox-float|"In reality, we are fighting the [[collective West]] plus NATO. When we speak about it, we mean not only the weapons being supplied [to Kiev] in huge batches, but also about systems of communication and information processing systems.}}
The Western states as well as NATO, Shoigu said, are supplying Kiev with "huge" amounts of weapons. Shoigu said that 300,000 reservist will be mobilized. People who served in the past 10 years, or with combat experience in the [[Syrian war]], Africa, [[Republic of Georgia|Georgia]] or [[Chechen wars]] will be given preference.<ref>https://youtu.be/LmXyaRGFW00</ref> Conscripts and people currently in post-secondary education will not be sent to Ukraine. He also said that, so far, 5,937 Russian soldiers have died during the war in Ukraine. (This number does not include the militia of the DPR and LPR, or the [[Wagner group]], who have done most of the frontline work and thus have had higher losses.) Shoigu puts Ukrainian losses at some 62,000 killed and some 50,000 wounded.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220921/shoigu-russia-at-war-with-collective-west-rather-than-ukraine-1101029246.html</ref> Russia's total military reserve, people who have previously gone through military training, is 25 million.<ref>https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/1572480191108104193</ref> It also has the equipment to arm those forces. Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev was put in full command of the special operation and his predecessor General Dmitry Bulgakov was moved to chief of staff of Logistics in charge of the supply of Russian troops stationed in Syria.

Chechnen head of the Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, claimed that the mobilization in the region already “exceeded by 254%”, even before the announcement of partial mobilization." Kadyrov added, there is a reserve of thousands of volunteers in Chechnya, “who, if necessary, will be able to join the ranks of defenders of Russia.”

Belarus also announced that it is in the process of getting ready for war. Belarus could, as it had threatened before, cut of the supply lines from Poland, NATO, and the West into the western part of Ukraine.

Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky told [[CBS News]] on ''[[Face the Nation]]'', "I don't think Putin is bluffing."<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/volodymyr-zelenskyy-vladimir-putin-ukraine-russia-nuclear-weapons-face-the-nation/</ref>

U.S. analyst Scott Ritter observed:
{{quotebox-float|"The U.S. and its allies in the “collective West” now have to decide if the continued pursuit of a decades-long policy of isolating and destroying Russia is a matter of existential importance to them, and if the continued support of a Ukrainian government that is little more than the modern-day manifestation of the hateful ideology of [[Stepan Bandera]] is worth the lives of their respective citizenry, and that of the rest of the world."<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/22/scott-ritter-reaping-the-whirlwind/</ref>}}

The '''NATO war in Ukraine''', sometimes known as the '''Russia–Ukraine civil conflict''' is a [[proxy war]] started by the [[United States]] in 2014 with the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of [[Ukraine]]<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/</ref> in collaboration with [[neo-Nazi]] traitors to the Ukrainian nation.<ref>https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY</ref> The newly installed [[Maidan puppet regime]] immediately began a campaign of unprovoked aggression against the civilians of [[Donbas]].

Th Russian [[special military operation]] which commenced on February 24, 2022 was provoked by the [[United States]] promise to the [[Kyiv regime]] to extend the borders of [[NATO]] to within 500 kilometers and four minutes flight time of a [[nuclear arm]]ed missile to [[Moscow]], the capital of the [[Russian Federation]], posing an existential [[national security]] threat to the nation and removing [[Ukraine]]'s decades long neutrality, according to Ambassador [[George Kennan]], Ambassador [[Jack Matlock]], Senator [[Joe Biden]], Senator [[Bill Bradley]], Senator [[Sam Nunn]], Senator [[Gary Hart]], Senator [[Gordon Humphrey]], [[Secretary of State]] [[Henry Kissinger]], [[Defense Secretary]] [[Robert McNamara]], [[Defense Secretary]] [[William Perry]], [[Defense Secretary]] [[Robert Gates]], [[CIA]] Director [[William Burns]], [[CIA]] Director [[Stansfield Turner]], Professor Edward Herman, Professor [[Noam Chomsky]], Professor [[John Mearsheimer]], Prime Minister Paul Keating and [[Prime Minister]] [[Malcolm Fraser]],<ref>https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1894833586387501070</ref>

[[Groupthink]] and greed among Western NATO leaders and their populations led to the false belief that [[Fourth generation warfare]] could be won by [[propaganda]] and [[misinformation]] alone without an industrial base. As the ''[[Washington Post]]'' attempted to explain, "[[the West]] tricked itself into thinking that sloganeering could forge a consensus to back [[Kyiv]] — 'for as long as it takes,' as President Biden put it — without explaining that sacrifice, setbacks and staggering sums of money would inevitably be needed..."<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/12/26/orban-ukraine-europe-threat-west-hungary/</ref>

Nazi and neo-Nazi organizations have been active in Ukraine since 1941 and received [[Pentagon]] and [[CIA]] arms and assistance until 1954, which was resumed by the [[Obama administration]] in 2013 under CIA director [[John Brennan]].<ref>https://archive.ph/5Tbgg</ref> Brennan was a key player in the [[Russia collusion hoax]], a [[disinformation]] and [[propaganda]] [[psyop]] to convince the American people that [[Donald Trump]] had "[[collude]]d" with Russian President Vladimir Putin to rig the [[2016 presidential election]] and to stir anti-Russian sentiment.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/fresh-evidence-obama-ordered-up-the-phony-russiagate-scandal/ Fresh evidence Obama ordered up the phony Russiagate scandal], New York Post Editorial Board, June 27, 2020.</ref>

In 2016, well before Russia's Special Military Operation, [[Barack Obama]] signed a Presidential Finding authorizing covert action against Russia, as reported in ''The Washington Post''.<ref>[https://archive.vn/DBHCM Obama used covert retaliation in response to Russian election meddling.

During the [[sham impeachment]] trial of [[President Donald J. Trump]] over aid to Ukraine, [[impeachment and removal|impeachment]] manager [[Adam Schiff]] openly stated about the illegal, undeclared proxy war which most Americans were not even aware of let alone ever consulted about, "we fight Russia over there so we don't have to fight Russia here."<ref>https://youtu.be/4d4rcoPulY4</ref>

By December 2022 in the first year of Russia's Special Military Operation, Ukraine had lost 250,000 soldiers killed and wounded - more than the size of the Ukraine army when the SMO began in late February 2022. The only thing keeping the bankrupt Zelensky regime in the fight was American aid, with marginal aid supplied by the European vassal states.

As published in the ''[[Washington Post]]'' on May 9, 2023, the 78th anniversary of [[Victory Day]] commemorating the defeat of [[Nazi Germany]] by [[Russia]], NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said, "The war in Ukraine has fundamentally changed NATO, but then you have to remember the war didn’t start in 2022…The war started in 2014."<ref>[https://archive.is/0wj8w Opinion Editorial Board interview: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg], By the ''Washington Post'' Editorial Board, May 9, 2023.</ref>

By September 2023 NATO and its Ukrainian proxy forces were soundly defeated on the battlefield by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

[[Biden junta]] foreign secretary [[Antony Blinken]] announced in a speech at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies as part of the [[Zbigniew Brzezinski|Brzezinski]] Lecture Series on September 13, 2023, after the failed 2023 [[Ukraine counteroffensive]], "The old world order is over...One era is ending, a new one is beginning, and the decisions that we make now will shape the future for decades to come."<ref>https://youtu.be/yXd_KDsOpSQ</ref>

Tom Luongo was quoted in ''[[Zerohedge]]'' on December 16, 2023, saying, "The folks with the most to lose in Ukraine at this point are those [[carpetbagger]]s who were chosen to rebuild the country after the war. Russia understands this and no more wants [[Blackrock]] rebuilding Ukraine than it wants Ukraine in NATO.”<ref>[https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/luongo-running-empty-us-leaves-zelenskyy-hanging Luongo: Running On Empty, The US Leaves Zelenskyy Hanging], Tyler Durdan, zerohedge.com, December 16, 2023. zerohedge.com</ref>

Western states began to train Ukraine’s armed forces and allow their participation in military exercises. In December 2016, [[Sen.

A 2019 Rand Corporation paper entitled ''Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground'' knowingly imperiled Ukraine as a nation and its people, to extend Russia in the hopes of precipitating a sociopolitical or economic collapse, or both, with the full understanding Ukraine itself would lose any such conflict. The policy of militarizing Ukraine to provoke a Russian intervention was anticipated, according to the report, "to produce disproportionately large Ukrainian casualties, territorial losses, and refugee flows as well as a disadvantageous peace."<ref>Dobbins, James, Raphael S. Cohen, Nathan Chandler, Bryan Frederick, Edward Geist, Paul DeLuca, Forrest E. Morgan, Howard J. Shatz, and Brent Williams, ''Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground.''

In February 2019, Ukraine’s constitution was amended to make NATO membership a compulsory government goal. Zelensky, who was elected President on a pro-peace platform in May 2019, did nothing to change that provision and in March 2021 he adopted the Crimean Platform – a program to recapture Crimea and the naval base at [[Sevastopol]] for NATO by any means necessary, including unspecified military measures which the Kyiv regime by itself was incapable of. In April, Ukraine forced a provocation with Russian naval forces in the Sea of Azov, which ended without violence, and in June the United Kingdom used the incident as an excuse to enhance Ukraine’s seaborne capabilities. That same month NATO promised Ukraine’s eventual membership of the alliance. In July, the United States and Ukraine co-hosted a naval exercise in the Black Sea that involved 32 countries and in August signed a US-Ukraine Strategic Defense Framework, followed a couple of months later by a Charter on Strategic Partnership. Between March and June, NATO conducted Defender 21, a multinational military exercise focussed on supposedly defending Europe from Russian attack. In the spring Ukraine began increasing its forces along the Donbass line of contact with the aim of eliminating the Donbas militias and retaking Crimea.

Investigative reporter [[Seymour Hersh]] reported in the summer of 2023 that Biden junta national security advisor [[Jake "the Snake" Sullivan]] took an American delegation to the 'second international peace summit' in August at [[Jeddah]] in [[Saudi Arabia]]. The summit was led by Crown Prince [[Mohammed bin Salman]] (MBS) who four years earlier was accused of ordering the assassination and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi for the ''Washington Post'' at the Saudi consulate in [[Istanbul]], for perceived disloyalty to the state.

The summit stars included MBS, Sullivan, and Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia was not invited to the summit. It included a handful of heads of state from the fewer than fifty nations that sent delegates. ''Reuters'' reported that Zelensky’s goal was to get international support for “the principles” that he would consider as a basis for the settlement of the war, including “the withdrawal of all Russian troops and the return of all Ukrainian territory.” Russia’s formal response came from Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs [[Sergei Ryabkov]] who called the summit “a reflection of [[the West]]’s attempt to continue futile, doomed efforts” to mobilize the [[Global South]] behind Zelensky. [[India]] and [[China]] both sent delegations to the session. An American intelligence official told Hersh,

Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by [[the West]] to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbas region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, and sent them there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the [[Kiev regime]] to its senses and negotiating a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then-British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.<ref>[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/in-ukraine-the-western-powers-have IN UKRAINE THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE CREATED A POISONOUS WEB OF LIES], AEARNUR, NOV 11, 2023. aearnur.substack.com</ref>

The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as [[HIMAR]]s. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what [[Genghis Khan]], [[Napoleon]], and [[Hitler]] could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility. Ukrainian journalist [[Diana Panchenko]] confirmed what happened:
{{quotebox-float|"I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March. A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: We simply ditched the Russians in March. He boasted about it... Friends, I know them all personally.

I appeal to Ukrainians. You are ruled by [[sociopath]]s who do not understand the consequences".<ref>[https://twitter.com/Andromeda11711/status/1670500664403951616 Andromeda11711 tweet, Jun 18, 2023:]💥 "I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March."

Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko on the Istanbul peace treaty: "A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: 'We just got rid of the Russians in March. He bragged about it... Friends, I know them all personally. They are ruled by sociopaths. They don't understand the consequences.

Yesterday, Putin gave the Kiev regime a real knockout blow.

Imagine Zelensky beating his chest and assuring the Ukrainians that there are no agreements with Russia. That's exactly why the Bucha fake was staged: the Kiev regime needed to show that the Russians hadn't left on their own, but that the Kiev region had supposedly been liberated by the Ukrainian military. The provocation in Bucha was necessary to falsify the reason for the rejection of the agreements by making a fuss in the Western media.

Britain, China, the USA, Turkey, France and Belarus were listed as security guarantors for Ukraine in the Istanbul Treaty, which Ukraine did not want to fulfill. Of course, Zelensky was forbidden by Washington and London to comply, but in this situation it does not matter, because it was Ukraine that violated the treaty.

Yesterday's statement by Vladimir Putin completely destroys the myth of Ukraine's independence in decision-making and clearly shows the people of Ukraine what Zelensky got them into: he had an opportunity to avoid a disaster.

There would have been no deaths or destruction. A viable Ukrainian economy would have been preserved. No one would have interfered with Ukraine's "independence"! But it was the Kiev regime that dragged Ukraine into a major war, and it can no longer stop what is happening.

This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.

Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.

We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, and that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad.

Deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia was not ready to begin nuclear talks with the United States until Washington abandons its hostile stance. The development comes days after Russia was attacked by the long-range [[ATACMS]] missiles delivered to Ukraine by the United States.

After passing unanimously in the Lower House, the bill to de-ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CBTB) was approved by the Upper House by 156 votes to zero. The approved legislation was sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his signature.

==Escalation==
{{See also|Escalation in the NATO war in Ukraine|Obama war crimes}}

Escalation in the NATO war in Ukraine began in 2014 shortly after the United States and UK's failed efforts to take over the [[Sevastopol]] Naval Base in [[Crimea]] during the U.S.-backed anti-[[democracy|democratic]] [[Maidan coup]]. In a foot race, the Russians made it to Crimea first to protect their vital [[national security]] asset at Sevastopol naval base before the US and NATO, following the US overthrow of the democratically elected President of Ukraine, [[Victor Yanukovich]].

Although the United States successfully overthrew the Russian client state in its capital city Kyiv, it failed in its covert purpose for overthrowing the regime - to seize one of three of Russia's most vital national security assets linking Russia to the outside world. The port cities of Sevastopol, Murmansk, and [[Vladivostok]] are Russia's only links for trade with the outside world. Murmansk in the frozen north is not open year-round, and Vladivostok is a 6-day journey by train from Moscow. Sevastopol and its surrounding territory of Crimea are close to the Russian homelands, are majority ethnic Russian and Russian speaking, and are Russia's most valued strategic asset. Without any of these three vital ports, Russia is landlocked and impoverished because of a lack of trade routes. Sevastopol had been leased to the Russian Federation by Ukraine on a long-term lease after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The "interagency consensus" of the U.S. [[Deep State]], as Lt. Col. [[Alexander Vindman]] referred to it in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, conducted an armed [[proxy war]] since 2014 in Ukraine with heavy weapons against Russian-speaking civilians.<ref>"The West has used everything from signals intelligence operations, espionage, fighter jet saber-rattling, and diplomatic standoffs to stem the rise of Russian influence around the world.

During the 3 days of voting in the Russian presidential election from March 15-17, 2024, NATO and Ukraine staged a suicide cross-border invasion and shelling of polling stations in [[Belgorod]] and [[Donbas]].<ref>https://weapons.substack.com/p/ukraines-effort-to-interfere-in-russias</ref> 11 people were killed at voting stations in Belgorod and over 80 injured.<ref>https://youtu.be/ZwvAfzvynU8</ref> The NATO interference in Russian [[democracy]] caused a huge turnout and rallying to the flag among the Russian population.

===Crocus Hall terrorist attack===
{{See also|Crocus Hall terrorist attack}}
On March 22, 2024 four [[Kyiv regime]]/[[NATO]]-backed [[terrorist]]s attacked civilians at a rock concert in [[Moscow]]. More than 143 concertgoers were killed, including five children aged 8 to 11.

The Crocus City Hall, Russia's largest music concert hall seating some 6,000, is part of a large shopping mall complex located in the suburb of Krasnogorsk on the northwestern outskirts of Moscow. The concert was to feature the band Picnic with a symphony orchestra to perform their new hit ''Don't Be Afraid of Anything''.

Four militants, armed with automatic weapons, entered the building and began to methodically shoot everyone who came in their way. Eyewitnesses said that they had Kalashnikov assault rifles and carbines equipped with sights, apparently collimators, and even flashlights, and small backpacks on their shoulders. Most of the attackers' faces were covered with scarves, but some of the witnesses saw beards sticking out from under them. The terrorists were young men, above average height, up to 180 cm, possibly using false beards and mustaches.

The criminals acted in a coordinated manner, in a military manner, as if such actions were a habitual thing for them. According to the security forces, the terrorists had military and airsoft training, using it against civilians and unsuspecting people.

After spilling the liquid they had brought with them, they set fire to the curtain and chairs with incendiary devices. When the fire flared up, rising to the very top and engulfing part of the roof, they, according to preliminary data, left the scene of the massacre. An explosion was heard. About 100 people were trapped inside, who were rescued by the fire department. The roof of the building collapsed. Special Forces of the [[FSB]] entered the building.

11 suspects were apprehended, including the four who committed the murders in the auditorium. They attempted to evade a roadblock in [[Bryansk]] province, following a car chase and exchange of gunfire with [[law enforcement]] officers while heading for the Ukrainian border. In televised comments to a nation in mourning, President Vladimir Putin put the attack in the context of global terrorism saying it was a kind of 'demonstrative execution'. President Putin said "There is information about the preparation of an escape window for the murderers on the Ukrainian side"

The [[U.S.]] [[proxy]] force, the [[Islamic State]], supposedly took credit for the attack. The Islamic State proxy force was organized in 2012 by the United States to counter [[Iran]] and Iranian proxies after the [[Obama administration]] withdrew forces from [[Iraq]]. The Islamic State was armed and equipped with weapons captured in the [[NATO war in Libya]].

''[[The New York Times]]'' named Eric Schmidt as being the main impetus behind Ukraine’s new push toward autonomous [[AI]] drones which can hunt human targets on their own after their signal has been cut by [[Electronic warfare]].<ref>[https://archive.is/ZuoAw In Ukraine, New American Technology Won the Day.

Google’s pilot project with the [[US Defense Department]]’s Project Maven, an effort to identify objects in drone footage, was discussed widely within the company when information about the project was shared on an internal mailing list. Some Google employees were outraged that the company would offer resources to the military for [[surveillance]] technology involved in drone operations while others argued that the project raised important [[ethical]] questions about the development and use of machine learning.

Schmidt summed up the tech industry’s concerns about collaborating with the [[Pentagon]], “There’s a general concern in the tech community of somehow the [[military-industrial complex]] using their stuff to [[kill]] people incorrectly," leaving unanswered the question of the "correct" or proper way to kill people.<ref>https://gizmodo.com/google-is-helping-the-pentagon-build-ai-for-drones-1823464533</ref>

===U.S. 2024 presidential election===
German Member of the [[European Parliament]] from the [[AfD]] party, Maximilian Krah, in a television interview summarized the situation in mid-summer 2024
{{quotebox-float|What do I even expect? More Ukrainian losses, no matter how cynical it may sound. But we are at war. And the casualties are so great that we are approaching the threshold of 30% of the [[population]] capable of [[military]] service. There is an international rule that if you lose 30% of the population capable of military service, the war ends. For two reasons:

Firstly, the population no longer believes in victory, but wants to save lives. [[Politician]]s say that if we sacrifice even more young people now, the survival of our [[state]] will be at risk because the population is running out. My guess is that Ukraine will face [[conscription]] problems this year, and therefore domestic approval for the war will drop.

Secondly, the military superiority of the [[Russian]]s is so great that even you understand that there is no chance of victory. In this regard, pressure is increasing to somehow reach an agreement within [[Ukraine]].

On the other hand, [[the West]], based on its [[logic]], cannot agree to [[peace]], because this will be a [[defeat]] for it. Therefore, they will try to continue the war at least until the [[2024 presidential election|American presidential elections]].

Russia’s strategy and tactics were designed to avoid and eschew practices that would cause large numbers of casualties among civilians and its own military. The strategy was to destroy Ukrainian military forces and war-making potential and avoid civilian casualties. Russia pursued victory in its Special Military Operation not for territorial conquest, contrary to Western propaganda, but to defeat the Ukrainian army and [[Maidan regime]], and force Kiev to acquiesce to Moscow's political goals:

(1) accept Russia’s annexations of territories under threat from Ukrainian [[discrimination]], repression, and [[violence]];

(2) renounce membership and close ties with NATO;

(3) and adopt measures to protect the Russian language and ethnic Russians in whatever rump Ukraine remains.

These were President Putin’s declared goals of ‘demilitarization’ and ‘denazification’ of the U.S. Maidan puppet state.<ref>[https://gordonhahn.com/2023/11/16/in-putins-russia-politics-is-war-by-other-means-and-war-is-revolutionizing-russian-military-affairs/ In Putin’s Russia Politics is War by Other Means and War is Revolutionizing Russian Military Affairs], Gordon Hahn, ''Russian and Eurasian Politics'', November 16, 2023. gordonhahn.com</ref>

On March 12, 2022, the second Battle of Avdiivka, just north of Donetsk city, began. On March 15, Ukrainians counterattacked.
[[File:Avdiivka cauldron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Avdiivka cauldron, October 22, 2023.]]
The Ukraine's extensive, deeply-layered defense in the Donbas was broken apart, one hedgerow or defense line at a time. Every town or village taken by DPR forces was an absolute mess of destroyed homes, sliced-up trees, abandoned trenches or bunkers, wrecked Ukrainian equipment, Ukrainian bodies, and the weapons and munitions, disorganized piles of supplies, and trash that the Ukrainians left.<ref>https://videopress.com/embed/LWJWQXqA</ref> By March 27, 2022, DPR forces, with support from their own and Russian artillery as well as Russian airstrikes, finally broke through the painstakingly-engineered, heretofore-impenetrable first line of defense around Ukrainian-held Avdiivka (pop. 30,000). About 15,000 Ukrainian troops remained in the Avdiivka bridgehead.

On May 11, 2022, the AFU blew up a dam near Avdiivka, endangering the lives in civilian settlements and creating a humanitarian catastrophe, in order to slow down the advance of the DPR army and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.<ref>https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1524411961454309382</ref>

By the end of May 2022, the civilians of the city of Donetsk remained under heavy bombardment by the Armed forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka.

Shelling of the civilians of Donetsk city by Ukrainian forces from Avdiivka continued throughout the end of May 2022 and into June in an effort to draw Russian forces away from the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk cauldron.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/RamXgEN7qewJ/</ref> On June 11, 2022, a mother and her 11-year-old son were killed by Ukrainian shelling while shopping in an open market. On June 13, 2022, 300 projectiles were fired by the Ukrainian army or by 'nationalists' onto civilian areas of the city of Donetsk.<ref>https://youtu.be/kGrA_I4UNWs</ref> It was the heaviest shelling in 8 years, A maternity hospital and church were hit.<ref>https://youtu.be/Ub2H8mcvmcM</ref> There were at least 7 dead and 22 wounded. According to the DPR authorities, the daily number of civilian victims exceeded the losses of the DPR military on the front lines.

French self-propelled 155-mm CAESAR howitzers were used to kill civilians. The attack was ordered by Ukrainian Colonel Roman Vladimirovich Kachur, commander of the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On June 20, 2022, the Ukrainians used for the first time their HIMAR missiles on the civilians of Donetsk, in addition to continued use of the M777 Howitzers. At least 23 civilians were killed and more than 100 non-combatants were injured over several days of Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk.

On June 25, 2022, Russian missiles killed 80 Polish mercenaries and destroyed 20 armored vehicles and eight GRAD multiple rocket launchers at the Megatex zinc production facility in Konstantinovka.

On July 24, 2022, soldiers of the 131st Reconnaissance Territorial Defense Unit posted a video message to Zelensky protesting illegal orders. The unit expressed its distrust of the battalion command, had been given no written orders, lost 70% of its personnel, was given no artillery support, occupied positions without equipment and ammunition, was armed only with firearms and four magazines, had no communication with command headquarters, no logistical support, no officers, commanders, medics, drinking water or food, no evacuation of wounded or dead. Helmets, bulletproof vests, and anti-tank weapons were taken from them. They did not receive basic pay or combat pay for their service. Their requests to battalion command were ignored.<ref>https://youtu.be/xLOL5a7vsDI</ref>

After two months of fighting, Russian forces captured the Uglegorskaya electrical power plant at Vuhlehirska on July 25, 2022.<ref>https://www.voanews.com/a/russia-captures-power-plant-in-southern-ukraine/6677073.html</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/F4VX8i-uny4</ref>

AFU shelling of civilians in [[Gorlivka]] killed one and left several in critical condition.<ref>https://youtu.be/_I1ZKKo8g6g</ref> AFU soldiers of the 54th Brigade, armed only with small arms and shovels, posted a video on social media about the incompetence and negligence of their commanders.<ref>https://youtu.be/F4tvkQu1MF4</ref>

By July 27, 2022, a breakthrough to the west occurred for the first time in 8 years of fighting on the Avdiivka-Donetsk front. The breakthrough is said to have been partially enabled by the withdrawal of some AFU troops and transfer to the southern [[Kherson]] front.
[[File:Elenovka.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Aftermath of Ukrainian strike on Elenovka POW camp.]]
On July 29, 2022 ''Reuters'' reported the prisoner-of-war camp at Elenovka was hit by a U.S.-built [[HIMAR]],<ref>https://youtu.be/xOpXJbE-HIc</ref> causing the deaths of 40 prisoners and 13 guards and prison employees.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-40-ukrainian-pows-killed-by-ukrainian-missile-strike-donetsk-prison-2022-07-29/</ref> At least one hundred other prisoners were injured.

A bill was introduced into the Ukrainian parliament granting legal authority to Ukrainian commanders to execute Ukrainian soldiers who wanted to surrender. Morale was reported to have fallen in recent weeks among Azov Battalion detainees at Elenovka as they realized the Kyiv regime was not negotiating their exchange for Russian POWs, and they began giving up more information in exchange for more lenient sentences for war crimes. Russia asked the United Nations to investigate the attack.<ref>https://twitter.com/Dpol_un/status/1553563952432414723</ref> The Pentagon claimed the Ukrainian strike on its own personnel was 'accidental'.<ref>https://en.rua.gr/2022/07/30/the-pentagon-leaked-zelensky-ukrainians-hit-the-prison-with-azov-fighters/</ref><ref>https://socialbites.ca/latest-news/67370.html</ref> Prominent Ukrainian neo-Nazi Andriy Biletsky vowed revenge against "whoever did this."

In late July 2022 Ukrainian and NATO strategists began removing artillery and manpower from Avdiivka, and transferring them to the west bank of the Dnieper for the so-called upcoming "counteroffensive" against the Kherson bridgehead. This action allowed a Russian breakthrough against the heretofore impregnable Avdiivka frontline entrenchment, which held for eight years since 2014 and has been a key artillery firing point against the citizens of Donetsk.

As the breakthrough continued on August 2, 2022, the Ukrainian 54th mechanized brigade lost 50 soldiers to friendly fire. Ukrainian forces completely destroyed elements of its own 56th mechanized brigade by artillery fire as they were retreating from the village of Pisky. Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, who was embedded with the AFU in Donbas, posted an expletive-laden report from Pisky revealing “There is no counter-battery fire, none at all...Russian forces are firing 6,500 shells per f****** village in less than 24 hours...It’s been like this for six days now, and it’s hard to fathom how any number of our infantry remain alive under this barrage...Without counter-battery fighting, it turns into a senseless meat grinder, where huge numbers of our infantry are chewed up in one day...A reserve platoon that tried to advance was taken apart in minutes, with only one out of 15 men left unharmed...All the reserves are spent, the military equipment goes up in flames, and the enemy approaches and takes our positions without any problems after another barrage of artillery...Right now we are losing Péski, all our human and material capabilities are almost exhausted”. Pisky was once a more affluent suburb of the city of Donetsk with 2,000 inhabitants; after the Kyiv regime attacked the Donetsk airport in 2014, the population fell to as low as 6 inhabitants at one point. By August 10, the 56th brigade was reported to have had 70% casualty rate, or loss of 3,500 men out of 5,000. 2,500 alone were lost in the past week. The village is located 2 km west of the airport. Russian forces deliberately chose Pisky as a weak point in the Avdiivka front as a breakthrough point specifically because of the low risk of danger to civilians. Mop up operations were completed by August 11 with thermobarics.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/VEojCa2H9AdX/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/gBFsWeVW6zM</ref> The collapse of a once prosperous community since 2014 is emblematic of the devastation the U.S.-backed Maidan regime wrought upon the Ukrainian [[economy]] and population.

After the false flag attack on Poland by Ukraine in late November 2022, fighting in Marinka intensified.

On December 11, 2022, the Russians reported that 80 civilians had been killed in Donetsk and about 200 injured over the previous week by NATO/Ukraine shelling, including the use of HIMARS.

More than 4,000 civilians of all ages and sexes in Donetsk city have been killed by Ukrainian shelling since February 2022.

According to a website of an observer named Colonel Cossad, most of the shelling of Dontesk city civilians has not come from Avdiivka, but rather from Krasnogorovka.<ref>https://cont.ws/@colonel-cassad/2450047?ysclid=lc8rhtkzsi666660612</ref>

On October 10, 2023 it was reported that the Russian armed forces hit a train station near Avdiivka, disrupting the logistics of Ukrainian NATO forces. NATO forces of Ukraine were left without communication and hit their own people at Avdiivka. Ukrainian units located near Avdiivka lost communication and inflicted chaotic artillery strikes on each other, according to the Sinya Z Boroda Telegram channel.

Smart kids fresh from senior high school are leading platoons of men mostly in their 30s or 40s and 50s. Brigade commanders give direct orders down to platoons because the staff of battalions and companies in between is no longer there.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/10/ukraine-sitrep-storming-andivka-ukrainian-losses.html</ref>

By late October 2023 roughly 20,000 AFU forces faced 45,000 Russian forces on three sides in the Avdiivka pocket.

On [[Christmas]] Day, December 25, 2023 after nine years of clashes between AFU and the armed services of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, the suburb of Marinka near the Donetsk airport fell in Russian hands.

In January 2024 Russian Spetsnaz around Avdiivka were reported to have been wearing stealth clothing, making themselves invisible to ultraviolet thermo-imaging technology of the US/NATO.

===Svatovo-Kremennaya front===
By October 11, 2022, NATO/Ukraine had assembled 40,000 troops on the Svatovo-Kremennaya front. After the loss of electricity in the Kharkiv region, the only radio signal accessible in motor vehicles was from Russian radio warning civilians to leave the Kharkiv region immediately.

By October 21, 2022, cold weather began to affect both sides ability to send up reconnaissance drones.

On October 26, 2022 ''RIA Novosti'' reported Lugansk People's Republic (LNR) police colonel of the Vitaly Kiselev saying that Polish NATO forces killed several members of the Pravy Sektor who had tried to force them to attack Russian defense lines near Kremennaya. According to Kiselev, after several unsuccessful attempts to advance deep into the positions of the Russian troops, the Poles refused to go forward. The Polish mercenaries said that it was not them, but Territorial Defenсe units should attempt to break through Russian defenses. Otherwise, the Polish units would suffer heavy losses. It was essentially a suicide mission, the Ukrainian military was attempting to use NATO forces as cannon fodder. Pravy Sector pressured the Poles to move forward, and Polish NATO forces killed several members of the Pravy Sector. Poles historically are not particularly enamored by the legacy of the Pravy Sector's national hero, [[Stepan Bandera]].<ref>https://english.pravda.ru/news/hotspots/154582-polish_mercenaries/</ref>

On January 21, 2024 the Russian Military of Defense announced the destruction of 80 foreign mercenaries in the area of Konstantinovka/ Russian military intelligence managed to identify the exact location of the foreign mercenaries with the help of reconnaissance drones. The destruction of foreign mercenaries was carried out with
an Iskandar [[ballistic missile]]. According to preliminary data, about 40 mercenaries from Poland, Britain, Canada, France and the United States were killed. Moreover, an ammunition depot of the 31st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army was also destroyed in this area.

Russian Armed Forces had great success NW of Svatove in late January 2024. An area of 35-40 km2 has been retaken. The breakthrough of the Ukrainian front is 7-8 km in width and up to 5 km in depth. Two small settlements were retaken.

===2023 Ukraine counteroffensive===
{{See also|2023 Ukraine summer counteroffensive}}

The 2023 Ukrainian spring-summer counteroffensive, which Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi were opposed to due to lack of preparedness but were pushed into by [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] for U.S domestic political purposes, was a disaster for the armed forces and people of Ukraine. Nonetheless, Western NATO propaganda claimed victory. Ukrainian troops pressed into service were untrained and ill-prepared. The counteroffensive failed miserably, never penetrating within 5 km of Russian frontline fortifications. Ukraine lost 83,000 troops between June 4, 2023 and October 4, 2023. Russian forces actually gained 200 square km more territory while fighting on the defensive. Defense chief Reznikov and eight of his deputies were fired for the debacle, and Reznikov was promoted to the post of ambassador to the UK.

In December 2023 the ''Washington Post'' released a two-article series, ''Miscalculations, Divisions Marked Offensive Planning By U.S., Ukraine'' and ''In Ukraine, A War Of Incremental Gains As Counteroffensive Stalls''. It dispenses equal blame on the US and UK planning of the whole mess and the Ukrainian execution of it:<ref>[https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/12/the-war-in-ukraine-is-done.html The War In Ukraine Is Done], Moon of Alabama, December 05, 2023. moonofalabama.org</ref>

{{quotebox-float|'''Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine'''

Ukrainian, U.S. and British military officers held eight major tabletop war games to build a campaign plan. But [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] miscalculated the extent to which Ukraine’s forces could be transformed into a [[Western alliance|Western-style fighting force]] in a short period — especially without giving Kyiv air power integral to modern militaries.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials sharply disagreed at times over [[strategy]], [[tactics]] and timing. The [[Pentagon]] wanted the assault to begin in mid-April [2023] to prevent Russia from continuing to strengthen its lines. The Ukrainians hesitated, insisting they weren’t ready without additional [[weapon]]s and training.

U.S. military officials were confident that a mechanized frontal attack on Russian lines was feasible with the troops and weapons that Ukraine had. The simulations concluded that Kyiv’s forces, in the best case, could reach the [[Sea of Azov]] and cut off Russian troops in the south in 60 to 90 days.

The United States advocated a focused assault along that southern axis, but Ukraine’s leadership believed its forces had to attack at three distinct points along the 600-mile front, southward toward both Melitopol and Berdyansk on the Sea of Azov and east toward the embattled city of [[Bakhmut]].

The [[U.S. intelligence community]] had a more downbeat view than the U.S. [[military]], assessing that the offensive had only a 50-50 chance of success given the stout, multilayered defenses Russia had built up over the winter and spring.

[...]

As the expected launch of the offensive approached, Ukrainian military officials feared they would suffer catastrophic losses — while American officials believed the toll would ultimately be higher without a decisive assault.}}

And from the second part:

{{quotebox-float|'''In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls'''

Seventy percent of troops in one of the brigades leading the counteroffensive, and equipped with the newest Western weapons, entered battle with no [[combat]] experience.

Ukraine’s setbacks on the battlefield led to rifts with the [[United States]] over how best to cut through deep Russian defenses.

The commander of U.S. forces in Europe couldn’t get in touch with Ukraine’s top commander for weeks in the early part of the campaign amid tension over the [[American]]’s second-guessing of battlefield decisions.

Each side blamed the other for mistakes or miscalculations. U.S. military officials concluded that Ukraine had fallen short in basic military tactics, including the use of ground reconnaissance to understand the density of minefields. Ukrainian officials said the Americans didn’t seem to comprehend how attack drones and other [[technology]] had transformed the battlefield.}}

===Winter 2023-2024===
Ukraine needs a minimum of 200,000 155mm artillery shells per month to sustain "localized fire superiority". The shell production of the entire West is estimated between 480-700k—for the entire year of 2023 - well more than a half million or 40% below what was requested. Defense contractors are reluctant to increase capacity since there is no "clarity of orders over time." It costs billions of dollars to increase capacity. New, very expensive upgrades of lathes and forging machines are required in sufficient numbers, a large amount of expensive training of personnel, potentially expensive expansion of actual work sites, purchasing new land, factories, etc. All this costs a huge amount of money at a time when the European economies are shot, energy prices have skyrocketed, etc. The average price of a single artillery round in Europe inflated from 4 to 8 times in some countries since February 2022.

Meanwhile Russian capacity to manufacture artillery shells reached 5 million in 2023, and was forecasted to reach 7 million in 2014-2025. Russia is said to have received 10 million shells from [[North Korea]]n stockpiles, which also maintains an industrial base to continue production. Furthermore, Western artillery cannons or barrels wear out, become unusable and must be towed to Poland or Lithuania for repair and change out. Russian forces carry out routine maintenance on the frontline.

Artillery is usually called "The God of War." It is assessed that Ukraine will need 1500-2000 barrels per year, with each barrel costing up to 900,000 [[euro]]s. That's approximately $2 billion in barrels. There are a limited number of forging plants in [[the West]] to manufacture barrels, and Ukraine uses at least 17 different artillery platforms.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) began to record an increased number of Ukrainian citizens who began not only to sympathize with the Russian Army, but also to help enemy forces. The spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuri Ignat, officially stated that almost all targets in Ukraine are destroyed by the Russian Aerospace Forces with the help of a tip from Ukrainian citizens who sympathize with Moscow and want to live as part of Russia. Moreover, representatives of the SBU admitted that many Ukrainian citizens help fighters of the Russian Spetsnaz sabotage and reconnaissance groups carry out sabotage operations on the territory of Ukraine. Since mid-December 2023, more than 100 Ukrainian citizens were detained who are suspected of complicity with Russian forces. Most of the detainees were from Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions. The SBU claims that these citizens allowed soldiers of Russian Spetsnaz to warm themselves in their homes, gave them food, water, and provided valuable information for sabotage. The activation of Russian Spetsnaz increased dramatically in the Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions. It Was reported that Russian Spetsnaz, with the support of local residents, caused significant damage to the infrastructure and logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On December 22, 2023 early in the morning near the village of Velikodolinskoye in the Odessa region, Russian Spetsnaz derailed a military train
carrying shells and small arms from [[Germany]]. As a result AFU were left without shells and other important weapons. Moreover, the Odesa incident proved that NATO countries deliver weapons to Ukraine by sea through the territorial waters of [[Romania]], [[Bulgaria]], and [[Turkey]].

On December 27, 2023 Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who also serves as the economy minister, said: “Ukraine may have to postpone pay for [[civil service system|public servants]] and [[Social Security|pension payments]] to millions of its citizens if the European Union and United States fail to deliver promised financial aid early next year...Kyiv might have to delay paying wages for 500,000 civil servants and 1.4 million teachers and benefits for 10 million pensioners if foreign aid does not come through”.<ref>https://archive.is/mGFjC#selection-1551.0-1551.62</ref>

Also on December 27 Ukrainian soldiers who defected to Russia for the first time engaged in battle with the Ukrainian Army near Bakhmut, according to Kirill Spassky, one of the commanders of the Russian operational combat tactical formation (OBTF) Cascade.<ref>https://amalantra.ru/obtf-kaskad/?ysclid=lqpq332znf462310768</ref> Spassky claims that Ukrainian soldiers in the Russian army are very motivated to bring about a common victory. More than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are fighting on the side of Russia. It is reported that every third captured Ukrainian POW expresses a desire to join the ranks of the Russian army and obtain Russian citizenship.

Deputy Chairman [[Dmitry Medvedev]] of the Security Council of the [[Russian Federation]] announced on December 29, 2023: "The Russian military operation in Ukraine will continue next year with its goals remaining unchanged...Those goals include the disarmament of Ukrainian troops and the rejection of the ideology of [[neo-Nazism]] by the [[Maidan regime|current Ukrainian state]]...The removal of the ruling [[Banderovite]] regime isn’t being openly declared, but it's the most important and inevitable goal that must and will be achieved." Defense Minister [[Sergey Shoigu]] stated: "All recruitment plans for the Army and the Navy this year have been fulfilled...The overall size of the Russian Armed Forces currently stands at 1.15 million service personnel...The size of the military will increase to 1.5 million in 2024, which would include up to 745,000 contract troops”.

On February 17, 2024 ''Business Insider'' reported ''Ukraine's military is shifting to a defensive strategy that failed [[Nazi Germany]] in WWII''.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-military-shifts-active-defensive-failed-nazi-germany-wwii-2024-2# , Analysis by Michael Peck, ''Business Insider'', Feb 17, 2024. businessinsider.com</ref>

==2024 Ukraine summer offensive==
[[File:RF spring 2024.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Russian forces, spring-summer 2024.]]
By Spring 2024 Russia was producing 375 tanks and armored vehicles a month, whereas the [[United States]] was producing only 200 [[Javelin missile]]s per month with a 19% kill rate. Likewise, Russia and [[North Korea]] combined to produce 3 million artillery shells yearly, whereas all of NATO was producing 500,000 a year.

By the summer the Russian military forces engaged against the Kyiv puppet regime were Battlegroup Zapad, Battlegroup Tsentr, Battlegroup Yug, Battlegroup Vostok and Battlegroup Sever.

A single precision-guided Krasnopol can do the job of roughly 50-100 conventional 155mm shells. [[M1A1 Abrams]], M109s, and other Western ''[[wunderwaffen]]'' were being taken out with the Krasnopol.

On June 9, 2024 the head of the [[Chechen Republic]], [[Ramzan Kadyrov]], announced the occupation of the village of Ryzhevka in the Sumy region on the border with the [[Kursk]] region by Akhmat fighters. "As a result of large-scale planned offensive actions, the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses and was forced to retreat. The well-coordinated and effective work of the fighters of all units made it possible to achieve this result without certain difficulties in just three days," Kadyrov wrote.

In June 12, 2024 the 13th of 31 [[M1A1 Abrams]] American main battle tank was destroyed. This represents more than 40% of the fleet that was sent to Ukraine. By contrast, less than 10% of the T-90 Russian main battle tanks in Ukraine have been destroyed in the nearly 2 1/2 years of fighting. In the Poltava region, the Russian military attacked the Myrhorod Air Base and destroyed three Mig-29 fighter jets, as well as one [[S-300]] air defense system. In Odesa and Kyiv, 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles hit and destroyed two classified military installations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was reported that these were decision-making centers where Ukrainian and NATO officers coordinated their work. Sources in the Russian military department claim about 40 high-ranking officers of the AFU along with officers of armies of NATO countries, were killed.

By mid-June 2024 Western "experts" began to express concern about the strengthening of Russian intelligence. Referring to their own sources in the Ukrainian general staff and the [[Pentagon]], these experts drew attention to the fact that Russian missiles successfully hit and destroyed even the most classified military facilities on the territory of Ukraine. Additionally, the number of massive combined and individual missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine increased rapidly in the past 3 to 4 weeks. This all indicated that Russian intelligence not only fully controlled the situation in Ukraine, but also had dozens of agent networks at its disposal, even in the Ukrainian Military Department. [[American]] experts at the [[Institute for the Study of War]] (ISW) admitted that Russian troops significantly advanced in the [[Seversk]] direction.

In July 1, 2024 Russian forces destroyed 9 Ukrainian jets in one day. ''[[Forbes]]'' military observer David Axe has called the strikes “one of the costliest single days for the battered Ukrainian air arm” since the start of the hostilities in February 2022.<ref>[https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/nine-ukrainian-jets-destroyed-in-one-day/ Nine Ukrainian jets destroyed in one day], ''Nexus Newsfeed, July 2, 2024. nexusnewsfeed.com</ref>

===Northern Kharkov front===
[[File:Northern front spring 2024.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Northern front, spring 2024.]]
As of May 12, 2024, the situation for the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] (AFU) continued to deteriorate rapidly in the northern part of the [[Kharkiv]] region. War correspondents reported that Ukrainian soldiers from the [[Territorial Defense]] brigades surrendered ''en masse'' to Russian troops
along the entire line of contact. Ukrainian Telegram channels denounced the [[lie]]s of the Ukrainian General Staff that the AFU allegedly stopped the advance of the Russian army in the Gray Zone. Ukrainian military-linked channels openly accused Ukrainian leadership of not having built any defenses in the north. The funds designated for defensive fortifications were stolen or looted.

The Ukrainian military High Command sent the AFU's remaining combat-ready reserves, the [[Kraken Battalion]] as "blocking units" to punish AFU soldiers wanting to surrender.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/truBnSBYNQrq/</ref> Ukrainian volunteers complained that the Nazi formations of the GUR ("Kraken", "Sonechko", "Brotherhood", etc.) blocked the evacuation of the local population from Volchansk and are using city residents as [[human shield]]s.

On May 12 Russian fighters from assault groups under the designation "Fearless" entered the battle against Ukrainian nationalists in the Volchansk area. Fighters from the so-called [[Russian Volunteer Corps]] also fought on the side of the Ukrainian nationalists. As a result, Russian troops destroyed an entire group of Ukrainian militants. Ukrainian nationalists lost more than 100 killed. Many nationalists did not have time to escape. More than 30 Ukrainian nationalists were forced to surrender.

According to [[Big Serge]], the new Kharkiv front absorbed nearly 30 Ukrainian battalions, which would be almost 10% of the [[AFU]]'s frontline strength.<ref>[https://bigserge.substack.com/p/russo-ukrainian-war-widening-the Russo-Ukrainian War: Widening the Front], BIG SERGE, MAY 25, 2024. bigserge.substack.com</ref> The Ukrainians flooded 30,000 soldiers to defend these regions. These soldiers were withdrawn from other very important fronts. The new front became known as the Volchansk meatgrinder, with Ukrainian casualties averaging over 1,000, and sometimes as high as 2,000 per day. Some weeks numbered over 10,000 casualties in a 7-day period.

On June 20, 2024 the Russian FAB-3000 glide bomb was used for the first time in the town of Liptsy.

The 2024 NATO attack on Russia began on August 6, 2024, the 79th anniversary of the destruction of [[Hiroshima]] by America with an [[atomic bomb]]. The operation was conducted in line with the latest developments of [[American]] military doctrine, namely the doctrine of multi-domain operations. Multi-domain operations combine classical warfare with cyber attacks, information and [[Psyop|psychological operations]], and control in cyberspace. American fingerprints were all over the invasion.

From the first hours of the invasion, the Ukrainians and NATO mercenaries used [[terrorism|terror tactics]] and attacked [[civilian]]s, systematically shooting cars with fleeing refugees on the roads. Michael Clarke writing in ''[[The Times of London]]'' on August 31, 2024 confirmed the use of terror attacks on civilians to "frighten residents into panic measures."<ref>[https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/ukraine-arm-wrestles-russia-in-final-effort-to-break-forces-before-winter-gkbkq5gpd Ukraine ‘arm-wrestles’ Russia in final effort to break forces before winter], Michael Clarke, ''The Times'', August 31, 2024. thetimes.com</ref>

The purpose of terror tactics was to force local residents to stay in their homes in order to, on the one hand make it more difficult for Russian aircraft to strike at invading units in populated areas, and on the other hand to make it easier for the NATO forces to take hostages. It is not unusual for Ukrainians to use civilians as [[human shield]]s, but by the third day the NATO terror tactics changed. The Center for Information and Psychological Operations of Ukraine began to encourage a large-scale flight of the population from areas where there was no fighting. The strikes on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant were intended by the Ukrainians to sow chaos and panic.

On the night of September 19, 2024 a massive UAV strike was launched on various targets in Russia. Air defense was active in the Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol and Smolensk regions. One of the targets was an arsenal in the city of Toropets in the Tver region.

According to military expert Alexander Zimovsky the strike on Toropets with six AGM-158B JASSM-ER ALCMs were likely launched from an [[F-16]].<ref>https://t.me/zimovskyAL/32868</ref>

The explosions at the warehouses were so powerful that they were recorded by earthquake monitoring systems. The first tremors, measuring 2.8 on the [[Richter scale]], were recorded at 3:56 a.m., and the next seven were weaker, ranging from 2 to 2.8 on the Richter scale.

==Economic war==
{{See also|Great Reset}}
The West hoped to quickly strangle the Russian economy. However, the calculations of the United States and its allies failed after the start of the special military operation. It became clear that the [[collective West]]'s bet on the weakness of the Russian economy did not play out. All the plans and calculations of NATO analysts failed. From 2014 to 2019 Western and NATO analysts claimed that Russia had a powerful army, but with a weak economy it would not be able to fight for long. They believed that they would impose sanctions and Russia would die. The West bet on the decomposition of Russian society by American culture and the discrediting of [[traditional values]].

By the summer of 2022 the Ukrainian Army was demilitarized, its weapons and manpower had been destroyed. By late 2022 Russia was demilitarizing not Ukraine, but NATO whose member states provided the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons and artillery shells. The Ukrainian Army itself was already being formed from reservists, conscripts recruited by force, and foreign mercenaries.

By the end of the third quarter of 2023 the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation reported that the national debt reached $206 billion accounting for 16.7% of gross domestic product (GDP),<ref>https://www.rt.com/business/583791-russia-state-debt-rising/</ref> in comparison to the [[socialist]] [[European Union]] national debt reaching a staggering $14 trillion accounting for 84.36% of its GDP,<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/253616/national-debt-of-the-eu-and-the-euro-area-in-relation-to-the-gdp/</ref> while the United States [[national debt]] reached over $33 trillion accounting for 122.8% of its GDP.<ref>https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/government-debt--of-nominal-gdp</ref>

===2023 cancelation of grain deal===
Under the July 2022 grain deal, which was intended to help needy countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the poorest countries received only 2.3% of all supplies. Ukrainian agricultural products went to the EU countries where prices are higher, according to UN data. Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, France and Romania accounted for 38% of all supplies under the grain deal. Turkey, [[Egypt]], [[Bangladesh]] and China filled out the balance, while [[Yemen]], [[Somalia]], [[Sudan]] and [[Ethiopia]] faced famine conditions.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2023/07/16/the-un-summed-up-the-results-of-the-grain-deal-the-poorest-countries-got-only-2-3-per-cent-of-supplies/</ref>

On July 17, 2023, the Russian Federation announced that it would not be renewing the grain deal that was supposed to allow for shipments of grain and fertilizers from both Russia and Ukraine. The expulsion of Russia from the [[SWIFT]] world banking network made it impossible for Russia to get paid. The official Russian list of requirements that would need to be fulfilled for Russia to reinstate the grain deal was:

1. A real, not a speculative conclusion from the sanctions on the supply of Russian grain and fertilizers to world markets.

2. All obstacles for Russian banks and financial institutions that serve the supply of food and fertilizers must be removed.

3. Deliveries to Russia of spare parts and components for agricultural machinery and the fertilizer industry should be resumed.

4. All issues with the charter of ships and insurance of Russian export food supplies must be resolved, all logistics of food supplies must be provided.

5. Unhindered conditions must be provided for expanding the supply of Russian fertilizers and raw materials for their production, including the restoration of the operation of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline.

6. Russian assets related to the agricultural industry should be unlocked.

7. There must be a restoration of the original humanitarian nature of the grain deal. It should work for countries in need, not make rich countries richer.

{{quotebox-float|"The grain initiative is a good cover for the military operations that Kiev is conducting in the Black Sea against Crimea under the direct leadership of the American and British military. It is more convenient to launch all surface and underwater drones, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, towards the southern and southeastern coast of Crimea from civilian ships that carry various cargoes...It's one thing to launch a marine drone from a civilian vessel 60-80 miles from the coast and point it directly at the target. And it's another thing to launch it, for example, from Ochakov, [[Nikolaev]] or the port of Yuzhny, near Odessa. In this case, they need to imperceptibly go around the Crimean Peninsula from the southwest in order to get to the Sevastopol Bay. And this is only in a straight line over 150 nautical miles. The [[Crimean Bridge]] is generally twice as far. Of course, Russia's withdrawal from the grain initiative greatly hinders Kiev's plans to carry out terrorist attacks in the Crimea."}}
The Crimean Bridge was attacked by NATO underwater drones launched from civilian vessels near the bridge on July 17, 2023.

==Propaganda war==

From the earliest days of the conflict, the Kyiv regime, with CIA assistance, focused more on winning a global information and propaganda war rather than a military conflict. The phrase "unprovoked invasion" flooded global media.<ref>https://youtu.be/crL0rs8phk4?t=1207</ref>

A clear democratic majority of the planet [[Earth]] does not support NATO's war on Russia. The two most populous countries on the planet, India and China, are not opposing Russia. Most of [[Africa]] is not condemning Russia. Similarly, the [[Arab]] and [[Muslim]] world has not condemned Russia. Only traditional US allies support America's efforts to overthrow the legitimate government of Russia, and many of them are seriously divided on the issue.

The incidents are too numerous to list (and many more are available above, see also the link), including deliberate war crimes committed by the Ukrainian government against its own citizens to blame on the Russian forces for global propaganda purposes.

On June 16, 2022, Presidents Emmanuel Macron of France, Olaf Scholz of Germany, Mario Draghi of Italy, and Klaus Iohannis of Romania traveled to Kyiv to present an alternative view to Volodymyr Zelensky for peace and negotiations versus the warmongering view of NATO escalation advocated by Boris Johnson and Joe Biden. The racist Western media, however, ignored Iohannis's presence and reported only on the three white presidents.<ref>https://thesaker.is/nothing-will-be-as-before/</ref>

On October 10, 2022, the head of the Department of Cyber Security of Ukraine, Police Colonel Yuriy Zaskoka was killed in the epicenter of a Russian cruise missile attack.<ref>https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/10/10/russia-strikes-kyiv-multiple-ukrainian-cities-many-dead.html</ref>

After all the death and destruction NATO wrought in Ukraine by February 2024, an interview with Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky garnered only 38,000 views on [[YouTube]], whereas an interview with President Vladimir Putin on the X platform with [[Tucker Carlson]] receive over 90 million in just 12 hours.

===Bucha massacre===

Evidence points to the Security Service of Ukraine, in conjunction with UK MI6, having committed the Bucha massacre.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/04/03/whats-wrong-with-the-ukrainian-srebrenica-story/</ref>

====Western coverup====
[[File:Reuters Izium fake news.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Reuters withdrew the initial attempt by the Zelensky regime to create another false narrative about alleged Russian massacres.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/09/ukraine-dissecting-some-war-propaganda-news-items-addendum.html</ref>]]
Western media and the NATO allies [[coverup]] came unglued by their own investigation. A team of forensic investigators from Kyiv reported that dozens of civilians who died in the city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) artillery.

Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv said they found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people's heads and chests. “We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region,” Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told ''[[The Guardian]]''. “It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region.”

Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the [[First World War]]. These small metal darts are contained in tank or field gun shells. Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.

“According to a number of witnesses in Bucha, fléchette rounds were fired by artillery a few days before Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March”, – ''The Guardian'' reported.<ref>https://youtu.be/MpSM-aiaxK4</ref> The same fléchettes were used by the AFU in 2014 in the [[Lugansk Peoples Republic]] (LPR) at the start of the Donbas war.

Fléchettes were not widely used during the [[Second World War]], but were brought back by the US during the [[Vietnam War]]. “Fléchettes are an anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation and to strike a large number of enemy soldiers,” according to Amnesty International. “They should never be used in built-up civilian areas.”<ref>https://southfront.org/bucha-investigation-contradicts-itself-confirms-afus-atrocities/</ref>

A team of 18 experts from the forensic department of France's national gendarmerie, alongside a team of forensic investigators from Kyiv, have started documenting the situation after the re-occupation of Bucha by the SBU Safari force. “We are seeing a lot of mutilated (disfigured) bodies,” said Pirovsky. “A lot of them had their hands tied behind their backs and shots in the back of their heads. There were also cases with automatic gunfire, like six to eight holes on the back of victims. And we have several cases of cluster bombs’ elements embedded in the bodies of the victims.”

Evidence collected by experts during a visit to Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, and reviewed by independent weapons experts, showed that cluster munitions and powerful unguided bombs were used in the region. They killed a large number of civilians and destroyed at least eight buildings. These types of weapons are banned by the Ottawa Convention, which Ukraine is party to. Illegal cluster munitions were discovered in Ukrainian weapons storage depots.

===Mass rapes===

Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament's Commissioner for Human Rights, was fired when no evidence could be found of her allegations of 400 instances of mass rape by Russian soldiers.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-05-31/card/ukraine-s-parliament-dismisses-human-rights-chief-1kQWT7i0GHXyeqh6spRe</ref> 238 Members of Parliament voted her out. Denisova was accused of failing to perform her duties and in particular of spreading fake news and propaganda about atrocities supposedly committed by Russian troops in Ukraine. Such actions only served to tarnish Ukraine's image, MPs have argued. Other complaints were that Denisova had failed to organize humanitarian corridors and POW exchanges.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/rape-allegations-against-russian-troops-in-ukraine-were-fake.html#more</ref>

The fake news stories stemming from high-ranking Ukrainian officials were widely disseminated by [[TIME magazine|''TIME'' magazine]], [[CNN]], ''[[Newsweek]]'' and other fake news sources.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-fires-human-rights-chief-perpetuating-russian-troop-systematic-rape-stories</ref>

===2024 D-Day commemoration===
[[File:Biden poops his pants again.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Democrat President [[Joseph R. Biden]] poops his pants while representing the [[United States of America]] at commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the [[D-Day]] landings in [[France]], June 6, 2024.]]
In June 6, 2024 Supreme Socialist commander [[Joe Biden]] visited Normandy beaches in [[France]] to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the [[Normandy invasion]]. The commemoration was a falsified version of the D-Day landings and an opportunity for Biden and French globalist leader [[Emmanuel Macron]] to draw a parallel with their equally falsified presentation of the NATO war in Ukraine.

No Russian delegation was invited. On the contrary, the Ukrainian army, which fought alongside the [[Nazi]]s, was.

Biden, Macron and their guests presented the [[United States]] as the victors of the [[Second World War]], whereas it was the [[Soviet Union]] that took [[Berlin]] and overthrew the [[Third Reich]]. The Western globalist leaders ignored the sacrifice of 27 million Soviet people. On the contrary, they focused their narrative on the 292,000 dead soldiers of the United States (mainly in the [[Pacific Theatre]] in war against [[Japan]]).<ref>[https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL32492 American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics], Updated July 29, 2020. Congressional Research Service RL32492. https://crsreports.congress.gov </ref> Two completely different war efforts.<ref>Of the 291,557 official American [[combat]] deaths in World War II, less than half, or 104,812 were killed in action in the European Theatre of Operations. [https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/604573/# V-E Day Marked End of Long Road for World War II Troops], by Jim Garamone, [[DOD]] News. www.defense.gov</ref>

In passing, they recalled the murder of 6 million [[Jew]]s by the Nazis, whether in the "Shoah by bullets" or, from 1942 onwards, in Nazi death camps. A way of ignoring the murder of 18 million Soviet [[Slavic]] civilians considered "[[sub-human]]"<ref>[https://www.academia.edu/7928812/America_s_Nazis_in_Kiev_Russians_are_Subhuman_ America’s Nazis in Kiev: “Russians are Subhuman”], [[Tony Cartalucci]], ''New Eastern Outlook'', 30.06.2014. www.academia.edu</ref> and designated as the main targets of the Nazi extermination project. Not a word either about all the other target categories, such as other Slavs or [[Gypsies]].

Speaking to [[Volodymyr Zelensky]], Biden declared: "Ukraine is being invaded by a tyrant, and we will never give up on him (...) We cannot give up on dictators, it’s unimaginable (...) The soldiers of D-Day did their duty, will we do ours? (...) We must not lose what has been done here".

Far from being a "[[dictator]]", Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] was re-elected in March with 88.5% of the vote. The ballot was conducted in a valid manner, even if, according to Westerners, the election campaign left little room for his opposition. On the contrary, Volodymyr Zelensky term of office as President of Ukraine expired three weeks earlier on May 21, 2024 and was extended by himself without a free and fair [[democracy|democratic]] [[election]].<ref>[https://www.voltairenet.org/article221018.html How to justify NATO’s aggression against Russia],

[[Crimea]] held a referendum and rejoined Russia rather than live under an illegal government. However, Russia did not accept the results of the [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] referendums in the Don River Basin, collectively known as Donbas. Donetsk and Luhansk declared independence from [[Kyiv]] and became known as the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. The Kyiv regime tried to retake the two separatist provinces.

An email sent from [[Hunter Biden]] to his business partner [[Devon Archer]] on April 13, 2014, contained information from a classified [[State Department]] memo one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet prime minister [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]]. The email predicted an escalation of Russia's “destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full scale takeover of the eastern region, most critically [[Donetsk]]":
{{quotebox-float|“The strategic value is to create a land bridge for [[Russia|RU]] to [[Crimea]]. That won’t directly affect [[Burisma]] holdings but it will limit future [[UK]] exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular.

The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref>

The Maidan fascists according to eyewitnesses outnumbered the anti-Kiev protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.

A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails while the boys were busy using them to burn people alive.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond for hours. The Maidan activists blocked the lone fire truck and wouldn't let the firefighters operate.

===Murder, assassination and kidnapping===
On March 25, 2019, Vasily Prozorov, a former employee of the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU) held a press conference. He reported that from April 2014 he rendered assistance to the special services of Russia. “From April 2014 I absolutely voluntarily, for ideological reasons, assisted the special services of the [[Russian Federation]] in obtaining information about the activities of Ukrainian [[law enforcement]], in particular in the area of the ATO (Kiev’s military operation in the Donbass),” he stressed. According to Prozorov, he decided to do this after the events on “[[Maidan]]”.<ref>https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/</ref>

Prozorov informed Russia about the whereabouts of Russian ''Life News'' journalists detained in May 2014 by Ukrainian military personnel. He described that back then he worked in the team of the Security Service of Ukraine in one of the villages near [[Slavyansk]], where these journalists were detained. He immediately reported where they were, “because there were many who wanted to introduce your colleagues as military personnel and start their interrogations.”

In the area of conducting military operations in Donbass there are secret SBU prisons. One of them is located at the airport of [[Mariupol]]. The location is called “the library (библиотека),<ref>https://youtu.be/2r5g0W3bTXg</ref> and its prisoners are called books”. According to Prozorov, it was possible to end up in such a prison for anything, including on suspicion of working for the Russian Federation, [[DPR]], and [[LPR]].

The leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics became victims of special operations, and not internal conflicts. “I am not omniscient, but concerning Motorola and Givi I am 100% sure that it was an operation of the special fifth department of the SBU and the special operations forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he specified. According to Prozorov, employees of the Special Operations Forces are constantly trained under the guidance of instructors from the [[UK]] and other countries. Their specialties are acts of [[terrorism]] and the deployment of a partisan insurrection movement.

[[Fascist]] and Nazi views are widespread in Ukrainian law enforcement structures. Prozorov noted that this concerns not only voluntary battalions, where this phenomenon is rampant, but also about linear units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and National Guard.

The “Azov” formation is a non-controlled paramilitary formation that is subordinated only to its leader and the Interior Minister [[Arsen Avakov]]. Prozorov recalled that in May 2017 another truce was concluded between the parties to the conflict. However, on May 9–10 the Azov artillery shelled the DPR and Mariupol. The former SBU officer noted that this is how the battalion carried out the orders of their superior, without informing the leadership of the ATO and the National Guard.

==Minsk Agreements==
A truce was negotiated between the two separatist Republics and the Kyiv regime in late 2014 and early 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]] and known as the Minsk Agreements. The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]]. [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well. The Minsk Agreements would give autonomy to the two provinces while remaining part of Ukraine. However the Ukraine regime did nothing to further implement the agreements after 2015, and only a ceasefire for the use of heavy weapons (tanks and artillery) remained in place.
The Minsk Agreements established a 12-point roadmap to ensure an immediate bilateral ceasefire; carry out decentralization of power, allowing temp
orary local self-government in areas of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine under a "special status" law; immediately free all hostages and illegally detained persons; ensure monitoring on the Ukrainian-Russian border and a security zone; ensure the holding of snap local elections in Donetsk and Luhansk; remove illegal armed groups, military hardware, and all fighters and mercenaries from Ukrainian territory; pass a law against the prosecution and punishment of people over certain events in Donetsk and Luhansk region.<ref>https://archive.fo/owxxq</ref>

==Battle of Avdiivka==
Starting Mid-April 2014 the Donetsk People's Militia captured several towns in the newly proclaimed independent republic;<ref>https://newrepublic.com/article/117387/putin-accidentally-helping-unite-eastern-and-western-ukraine</ref><ref>http://en.itar-tass.com/world/735082</ref> including Avdiivka.

==Battle of Iloviask==
Maidan regime forces made their first attempts to attack the city of Ilovaisk on August 7, 2014. Over the next few days, Maidan fascists made multiple attempts to enter the city, but were bogged down by heavy fighting with the citizens of Donbas defending their homes. Maidan forces attempted to enter Ilovaisk during the day on August 18, but failed. Led by the Maidan regime's Donbas Battalion, Kyiv forces launched another attempt to storm the city on the night of August 18–19.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html |script-title=ru:Из "иловайского котла" вырвались еще 84 украинских бойца |newspaper=Segodnya |date=1 September 2014 |access-date= |language=ru |archive-date=4 September 2014 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904083057/http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html }}</ref> This attempt was successful, and they raised the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag over the city administration building without any casualties.

==Battle of Debaltsevo==
In 2014, after the start of the [[Donbass war]], Major General [[Syrsky]] was appointed [[chief of staff]] - first deputy head of the ATO (the so-called Ukrainian "Anti-Terrorist Operation"). Many Ukrainian officers blamed Syrsky for the huge losses that the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered in the [[Debaltseve]] cauldron in early 2015 and gave him the nickname “Kotlovoy General.” According to various sources, more than 3,000 soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed in the city of Debaltsevo and its environs, and almost all [[artillery]] and armored vehicles were lost. Even by the standards of a larger [[NWO]], these losses are significant.<ref>[https://rumble.com/v6mt61u-the-legendary-liberation-of-debaltsevo-part-12.html The Legendary Liberation of Debaltsevo (Part 1/2)], [[Graham Phillips]].

==Zugres beach==

On August 13, 2014, the small Donbass town of Zugres became a target for the Ukrainian Air Force. The city beach was also shelled from Smerch MLRS, where at that time many families were vacationing with children. More than 20 people died that day, including 3 children, and dozens were injured.

==Crowdstrike==
On January 3, 2017, George Eliason reported in an article entitled, ''Why Crowdstrike’s Russian Hacking Story Fell Apart- Say Hello to Fancy Bear"''<ref>https://washingtonsblog.com/2017/01/crowdstrikes-russian-hacking-story-fell-apart-say-hello-fancy-bear-2.html</ref>
{{Quotebox-float|"In the wake of the JAR-16-20296 dated December 29, 2016 about hacking and influencing the 2016 election, the need for real evidence is clear. The joint report adds nothing substantial to the October 7th report. It relies on proofs provided by the cyber security firm Crowdstrike that is clearly not on par with intelligence findings or evidence. At the top of the report is an “as is” statement showing this.

The difference between Dmitri Alperovitch’s claims which are reflected in JAR-1620296 and this article is that enough evidence is provided to warrant an investigation of specific parties for the DNC hacks. The real story involves specific anti-American actors that need to be investigated for real crimes.

For instance, the malware used was an out-dated version just waiting to be found. The one other interesting point is that the Russian malware called Grizzly Steppe is from Ukraine. How did Crowdstrike miss this when it is their business to know?

Later in this article you’ll meet and know a little more about the real “Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear.” The bar for identification set by [[Crowdstrike]] has never been able to get beyond words like probably, maybe, could be, or should be, in their attribution.

===Dimitri Alperovitch===

The article is lengthy because the facts need to be in one place. The bar Dimitri Alperovitch set for identifying the hackers involved is that low. Other than asking America to trust them, how many solid facts has Alperovitch provided to back his claim of Russian involvement?

The December 29th JAR adds a flowchart that shows how a basic phishing hack is performed. It doesn’t add anything significant beyond that. Noticeably, they use both their designation APT 28 and APT 29 as well as the Crowdstrike labels of Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear separately.

This is important because information from outside intelligence agencies has the value of rumor or unsubstantiated information at best according to policy. Usable intelligence needs to be free from partisan politics and verifiable. Intel agencies noted back in the early 90’s that every private actor in the information game was radically political.

[[The Hill]].com article about Russia hacking the electric grid is a perfect example of why this intelligence is political and not taken seriously. If any proof of Russian involvement existed, the US would be at war. Under current laws of war, there would be no difference between an attack on the power grid or a missile strike.

According to the Hill “Private security firms provided more detailed forensic analysis, which the FBI and [[DHS]] said Thursday correlated with the [[IC]]’s findings.

:''“The Joint Analysis Report recognizes the excellent work undertaken by security companies and private sector network owners and operators, and provides new indicators of compromise and malicious infrastructure identified during the course of investigations and incident response,” read a statement. The report identities two Russian intelligence groups already named by CrowdStrike and other private security firms.”

In an interview with Washingtonsblog, William Binney, the creator of the NSA global surveillance system said
:''“I expected to see the IP’s or other signatures of APT’s 28/29 [the entities which the U.S. claims hacked the Democratic emails] and where they were located and how/when the data got transferred to them from DNC/HRC [i.e. Hillary Rodham Clinton]/etc. They seem to have been following APT 28/29 since at least 2015, so, where are they?”''

According to the latest Washington Post story, Crowdstrike’s CEO tied a group his company dubbed “Fancy Bear” to targeting Ukrainian artillery positions in Debaltsevo as well as across the Ukrainian civil war front for the past 2 years.

Alperovitch states in many articles the Ukrainians were using an Android app to target the self-proclaimed Republics positions and that hacking this app was what gave targeting data to the armies in Donbass instead.

Alperovitch first gained notice when he was the VP in charge of threat research with McAfee. Asked to comment on Alperovitch’s discovery of Russian hacks on [[Larry King]], [[John McAfee]] had this to say.
:''Based on all of his experience, McAfee does not believe that Russians were behind the hacks on the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC), [[John Podesta]]’s emails, and the [[2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign|Hillary Clinton presidential campaign]]. As he told [[RT]], “if it looks like the Russians did it, then I can guarantee you it was not the Russians.”''

How does Crowdstrike’s story part with reality? First is the admission that it is probably, maybe, could be Russia hacking the DNC. “Intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to Wiki Leaks.”

The public evidence never goes beyond the word possibility. While never going beyond that or using facts, Crowdstrike insists that it’s Russia behind both Clinton’s and the Ukrainian losses. [[NBC]] carried the story because one of the partners in Crowdstrike is also a consultant for NBC.

According to NBC the story reads like this.
:''"The company, Crowdstrike, was hired by the DNC to investigate the hack and issued a report publicly attributing it to Russian intelligence. One of Crowdstrike’s senior executives is [[Shawn Henry]], a former senior FBI official who consults for [[NBC News]].

:''“But the Russians used the app to turn the tables on their foes, Crowdstrike says. Once a Ukrainian soldier downloaded it on his [[Android phone]], the Russians were able to eavesdrop on his communications and determine his position through geo-location.''

In June, Crowdstrike went public with its findings that two separate Russian intelligence agencies had hacked the DNC. One, which Crowdstrike and other researchers call Cozy Bear, is believed to be linked to Russia’s CIA, known as the [[FSB]]. The other, known as Fancy Bear, is believed to be tied to the military intelligence agency, called the [[GRU]].”

The information is so certain the level of proof never rises above “believed to be.” According to the December 12th Intercept article “Most importantly, the Post adds that “intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin ‘directing’ the identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to [[WikiLeaks]].”

Because Ukrainian soldiers are using a smartphone app they activate their geolocation to use it. Targeting is from location to location. The app would need the current user location to make it work.

In 2015 I wrote an article that showed many of the available open source tools that geolocate, and track people. They even show street view. This means that using simple means, someone with freeware or an online website, and not a military budget can look at what you are seeing at any given moment.

Where Crowdstrike fails is insisting people believe that the code they see is (a) an advanced way to geolocate and (b) it was how a state with large resources would do it. Would you leave a calling card where you would get caught and fined through sanctions or worse? If you use an anonymous online resource at least Crowdstrike won’t believe you are Russian and possibly up to something.

:''”Using open source tools this has been going on for years in the private sector. For geolocation purposes, your smartphone is one of the greatest tools to use. Finding and following you has never been easier. Let’s face it if you are going to stalk someone, “street view” on a map is the next best thing to being there. In the following video, the software hacks your modem. It’s only one step from your phone or computer.”

If you read that article and watch the video you’ll see that using “geo-stalker” is a better choice if you are on a low budget or no budget. Should someone tell the Russians they overpaid?

According to Alperovitch, the smartphone app plotted targets in about 15 seconds. This means that there is only a small window to get information this way.

Using the open source tools I wrote about previously, you could track your targets all-day. In 2014, most Ukrainian forces were using [[social media]] regularly. It would be easy to maintain a map of their locations and track them individually.

===Drones===

From my research into those tools, someone using Python scripts would find it easy to take photos, listen to conversations, turn on GPS, or even turn the phone on when they chose to. Going a step further than Alperovitch, without the help of the Russian government, GRU, or FSB, anyone could take control of the drones Ukraine is fond of flying and land them. Or they could download the footage the drones are taking. It’s copy and paste at that point. Would you bother the FSB, GRU, or Vladimir Putin with the details or just do it?

In the WaPo article Alperovitch states “The Fancy Bear crew evidently hacked the app, allowing the GRU to use the phone’s GPS coordinates to track the Ukrainian troops’ position.

In that way, the Russian military could then target the Ukrainian army with artillery and other weaponry. Ukrainian brigades operating in eastern Ukraine were on the front lines of the conflict with Russian-backed separatist forces during the early stages of the conflict in late 2014, CrowdStrike noted. By late 2014, Russian forces in the region numbered about 10,000. The Android app was useful in helping the Russian troops locate Ukrainian artillery positions.”

In late 2014, I personally did the only invasive passport and weapons checks that I know of during the Ukrainian civil war. I spent days looking for the Russian army every major publication said were attacking Ukraine. The keyword Cyber Security industry leader Alperovitch used is “evidently.” Crowdstrike noted that in late 2014, there were 10,000 Russian forces in the region.

When I did the passport and weapons check, it was under the condition there would be no telephone calls. We went where I wanted to go. We stopped when I said to stop. I checked the documents and the weapons with no obstacles. The weapons check was important because Ukraine was stating that Russia was giving Donbass modern weapons at the time. Each weapon is stamped with a manufacture date. The results are in the articles above.

The government in Kiev agreed with my findings throughout 2014 and 2015. There were and are no Russian troops fighting in Donbass regardless of what Mr. Alperovitch asserts. There are some Russian volunteers which I have covered in detail.

Based on my findings which the CIA would call hard evidence, almost all the fighters had Ukrainian passports. There are volunteers from other countries. In Debaltsevo today, I would question Alperovitch’s assertion of Russian troops based on the fact the passports will be Ukrainian and reflect my earlier findings. There is no possibly, could be, might be, about it.

The SBU, Olexander Turchinov, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense all agree that Crowdstrike is dead wrong in this assessment. Although subtitles aren’t on it, the former Commandant of Ukrainian Army Headquarters thanks God Russia never invaded or Ukraine would have been in deep trouble.

How could Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike be this wrong on easily checked detail and still get this much media attention? Could the investment made by [[Google]] and some very large players have anything to do with the media Crowdstrike is causing?

In an interview with [[PBS NewsHour]] on December 22nd 2016, Dmitri Alperovitch finally produced the hard evidence he has for Russian involvement clearly. To be fair, he did state it several times before. It just didn’t resonate or the media and US intelligence agencies weren’t listening.

According to Alperovitch, the CEO of a $150 million dollar cyber security company
:''“And when you think about, well, who would be interested in targeting Ukraine artillerymen in eastern Ukraine who has interest in hacking the [[Democratic Party]], Russia government comes to mind, but specifically, Russian military that would have operational over forces in the Ukraine and would target these artillerymen.”

That statement is most of the proof of Russian involvement he has. That’s it, that’s all the [[CIA]], [[FBI]] have to go on. It’s why they can’t certify the intelligence. It’s why they can’t get beyond the threshold of maybe.

Woodruff then asked two important questions. She asked if Crowdstrike was still working for the DNC. Alperovitch responded
:''“We’re protecting them going forward. The investigation is closed in terms of what happened there. But certainly, we’ve seen the campaigns, political organizations are continued to be targeted, and they continue to hire us and use our technology to protect themselves.”

Based on the evidence he presented Woodruff, there is no need to investigate further? Obviously, there is no need, the money is rolling in.

Second and most important Judy Woodruff asked if there were any questions about conflicts of interest, how he would answer? This is where Dmitri Alperovitch’s story starts to unwind.

His response was
:''“Well, this report was not about the DNC. This report was about information we uncovered about what these Russian actors were doing in eastern Ukraine in terms of locating these artillery units of the Ukrainian army and then targeting them. So, what we just did is said that it looks exactly as the same to the evidence we’ve already uncovered from the DNC, linking the two together.”''

Why is this reasonable statement going to take his story off the rails? First, let’s look at the facts surrounding his evidence and then look at the real conflicts of interest involved. While carefully evading the question, he neglects to state his conflicts of interest are worthy of a DOJ investigation. Can you mislead the federal government about national security issues and not get investigated yourself?

If Alperovitch’s evidence is all there is, then the US government owes some large apologies to Russia.

After showing who is targeting Ukrainian artillerymen, we’ll look at what might be a criminal conspiracy.

Crowdstrike CEO Dmitri Alperovitch story about Russian hacks that cost Hillary Clinton the election was broadsided by the SBU (Ukrainian Intelligence and Security) in Ukraine. If Dimitri Alperovitch is working for Ukrainian Intelligence and is providing intelligence to 17 US Intelligence Agencies is it a conflict of interest?

Ukraine has been screaming for the US to start a war with Russia for the past 2 1/2 years. Using facts accepted by leaders on both sides of the conflict, the main proof Crowdstrike shows for evidence doesn’t just unravel, it falls apart. Is Ukrainian Intelligence trying to invent a reason for the US to take a hard-line stance against Russia? Are they using Crowdstrike to carry this out?

'''Real Fancy Bear?'''

Meet the real Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, part of the groups that are targeting Ukrainian positions for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. These people were so tech savvy they didn’t know the Ukrainian [[SBU]] (Ukrainian CIA/internal security) records every phone call and most internet use in Ukraine and Donbass. Donbass still uses Ukrainian phone and internet services.

These are normal people fighting back against private volunteer armies that target their homes, schools, and hospitals. The private volunteer armies like [[Pravy Sektor]], Donbas Battalion, [[Azov Battalion|Azov]], and [[Aidar Battalion|Aidar]] have been cited for atrocities like [[child]] [[rape]], [[torture]], [[murder]], and [[kidnap]]ping. That just gets the ball rolling. These are a large swath of the Ukrainian servicemen Crowdstrike hopes to protect.

This story which just aired on Ukrainian news channel TCN shows the SBU questioning and arresting some of what they call an army of people in the Ukrainian-controlled areas. This news video shows people in Toretsk that provided targeting information to Donbass and people probably caught up in the net accidentally.

This is a civil war and people supporting either side are on both sides of the contact line. The SBU is awestruck because there are hundreds if not thousands of people helping to target the private volunteer armies supported by Ukrainian-Americans.

The first person they show on the video is a woman named Olga Lubochka. On the video her voice is heard from a recorded call saying
:''”In the field, on the left about 130 degrees. Aim and you’ll get it.” and then ”Oh, you hit it so hard you leveled it to the ground.” ”Am I going to get a medal for this?”''

Other people caught up in the raid claim and probably were only calling friends they know. It’s common for people to call and tell their family about what is going on around them. This has been a staple in the war especially in outlying villages for people aligned with both sides of the conflict. A neighbor calls his friend and says “you won’t believe what I just saw.”

Another “fancy bear,” Alexander Schevchenko was caught calling friends and telling them that armored personnel carriers had just driven by.

Anatoli Prima, father of a DNR (Donetsk People’s Republic) soldier was asked to find out what unit was there and how many [[artillery]] pieces.

One woman providing information about fuel and incoming equipment has a husband fighting on the opposite side in [[Gorlovka]]. Gorlovka is a major city that’s been under artillery attack since 2014. For the past 2 1/2 years, she has remained in their home in Toretsk. According to the video, he’s vowed to take no prisoners when they rescue the area.

When asked why they hate Ukraine so much, one responded that they just wanted things to go back to what they were like before the coup in February 2014.

Another said they were born in the Soviet Union and didn’t like what was going on in Kiev. At the heart of this statement is the anti-OUN, antinationalist sentiment that most people living in Ukraine feel. The OUNb Bandera killed millions of people in Ukraine, including starving 3 million Soviet soldiers to death. The new Ukraine was founded in 1991 by OUN nationalists outside the fledgling country.

Is giving misleading or false information to [[intelligence community|17 US Intelligence Agencies]] a crime? If it’s done by a cyber security industry leader like Crowdstrike should that be investigated? If unwinding the story from the “targeting of Ukrainian volunteers” side isn’t enough, we should look at this from the American perspective. How did the Russia influencing the election and DNC hack story evolve? Who’s involved? Does this pose conflicts of interest for Dmitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? And let’s face it, a hacking story isn’t complete until real hackers with the skills, motivation, and reason are exposed.

===The Chalupas===
In the last article exploring the DNC hacks the focus was on the Chalupas. The article focused on Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa. Their participation in the DNC hack story is what brought it to international attention in the first place.

According to journalist and DNC activist [[Andrea Chalupa]] on her Facebook page “After Chalupa sent the email to Miranda (which mentions that she had invited this reporter to a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]]), it triggered high-level concerns within the DNC, given the sensitive nature of her work.
:''“That’s when we knew it was the Russians,” said a Democratic Party source who has been directly involved in the internal probe into the hacked emails. In order to stem the damage, the source said, “we told her to stop her research.””'' July 25, 2016

If she was that close to the investigation Crowdstrike did how credible is she? Her sister Alexandra was named one of 16 people that shaped the election by Yahoo news. The DNC hacking investigation done by Crowdstrike concluded hacking was done by Russian actors based on the work done by [[Alexandra Chalupa]]? That is the conclusion of her sister Andrea Chalupa and obviously enough for Crowdstrike to make the Russian government connection. These words mirror Dimitri Alperovitch’s identification process in his interview with PBS Judy Woodruff.

How close is Dimitri Alperovitch to DNC officials? Close enough professionally he should have stepped down from an investigation that had the chance of throwing a presidential election in a new direction.

According to Esquire.com, Alperovitch has vetted speeches for Hillary Clinton about cyber security issues in the past. Because of his work on the Sony hack, President [[Barrack Obama]] personally called and said the measures taken were directly because of his work.

Still, this is not enough to show a conflict of interest. Alperovitch’s relationships with the Chalupas, radical groups, think tanks, Ukrainian [[propagandist]]s, and Ukrainian state supported hackers do. When it all adds up and you see it together, we have found a Russian that tried hard to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in 2016.

In my previous article I showed in detail how the Chalupas fit into this. A brief bullet point review looks like this.

The Chalupas are not Democrat or Republican. They are OUNb. The OUNb worked hard to start a war between the USA and Russia for the last 50 years. According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'' in a rare open statement of their existence in 2011, “Other statements were issued in the Ukrainian language by the leadership of the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] (B) and the International Conference in Support of Ukraine. The OUN (Bandera wing) called for”… What is [[OUNb]] Bandera? They follow the same political policy and platform that was developed in the 1930’s by [[Stepan Bandera]]. When these people go to a [[Holocaust]] memorial they are celebrating both the dead and the OUNb SS that killed There is no getting around this fact. The OUNb have no concept of democratic values and want an [[authoritarian]] [[fascism]].

===Dmitry Yarosh===

Alexandra Chalupa- According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'',… “The effort, known as Digital Maidan, gained momentum following the initial [[Twitter]] storms. Leading the effort were: Lara Chelak, Andrea Chalupa, Alexandra Chalupa, Constatin Kostenko and others.” The Digital Maidan was also how they raised money for the coup. This was how the Ukrainian emigres bought the bullets that were used on Euromaidan. Ukraine’s chubby nazi, [[Dima Yarosh]] stated openly he was taking money from the Ukrainian emigres during Euromaidan and [[Pravy Sektor]] still fundraises openly in North America. The “Sniper Massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine by Dr. [[Ivan Katchanovski]], University of Ottowa shows clearly detailed evidence how the massacre happened. It has Pravy Sektor confessions that show who created the [[Heavenly Hundred]]. Their admitted involvement as leaders of Digital Maidan by both Chalupas is a clear violation of the [[Neutrality Act]] and has up to a 25 year prison sentence attached to it because it ended in a coup.

Andrea Chalupa-2014, in a Huff Post article Sept. 1 2016, Andrea Chalupa described Sviatoslav Yurash as one of Ukraine’s important “dreamers.” He is a young activist that founded [[Euromaidan Press]]. Beyond the gushing glow what she doesn’t say is who he actually is. Sviatoslav Yurash was Dmitri Yarosh's spokesman just after Maidan. He is a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist and was rewarded with the Deputy Director position for the UWC (Ukrainian World Congress) in Kiev.
In January, 2014 when he showed up at the Maidan protests he was 17 years old. He became the foreign language media representative for [[Vitali Klitschko]], [[Arseni Yatsenyuk]], and [[Oleh Tyahnybok]]. All press enquiries went through Yurash. To meet [[Dimitri Yurash]] you had to go through Sviatoslav Yurash as a ''Macleans'' reporter found out.

===Andrei Paruby===

At 18 years old, Sviatoslav Yurash became the spokesman for Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under [[Andrei Paruby]]. He was Dimitri Yarosh’s spokesman and can be seen either behind Yarosh on videos at press conferences or speaking ahead of him to reporters. From January 2014 onward, to speak to Dimitri Yarosh, you set up an appointment with Yurash.

Andrea Chalupa has worked with Yurash’s Euromaidan Press which is associated with [[Informnapalm]].org and supplies the state level hackers for Ukraine.

[[Irene Chalupa]]- Another involved Chalupa we need to cover to do the story justice is Irene Chalupa. From her bio– Irena Chalupa is a nonresident fellow with the [[Atlantic Council]]’s Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center. She is also a senior correspondent at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), where she has worked for more than twenty years. Ms. Chalupa previously served as an editor for the Atlantic Council, where she covered Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Irena Chalupa is also the news anchor for Ukraine’s propaganda channel org She is also a Ukrainian emigre leader.

According to Robert Parry’s article At the forefront of people that would have taken senior positions in a [[Clinton administration]] and especially in [[foreign policy]] are the Atlantic Council. Their main goal is still a major confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia.

The Atlantic Council is the think tank associated and supported by the CEEC (Central and Eastern European Coalition). The CEEC has only one goal which is war with Russia. Their question to candidates looking for their support in the election was “Are you willing to go to war with Russia?” Hillary Clinton has received their unqualified support throughout the campaign.

What does any of this have to do with Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike? Since the Atlantic Council would have taken senior cabinet and policy positions, his own fellowship status at the Atlantic Council and relationship with Irene Chalupa creates a definite conflict of interest for Crowdstrike’s investigation. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was gaining ground and Clinton needed a boost. Had she won, would he have been in charge of the CIA, NSA, or Homeland Security?

When you put someone that has so much to gain in charge of an investigation that could change an election, that is a conflict of interest. If the think tank is linked heavily to groups that want war with Russia like the Atlantic Council and the CEEC, it opens up [[criminal]] [[conspiracy]].

If the person in charge of the investigation is a fellow at the think tank that wants a major conflict with Russia it is a definite conflict of interest. Both the Atlantic Council and clients stood to gain Cabinet and Policy positions based on how the result of his work affects the election. It clouds the results of the investigation. In Dmitri Alperovitch’s case, he found the perpetrator before he was positive there was a crime.

Alperovitch’s relationship with Andrea Chalupa’s efforts and Ukrainian intelligence groups is where things really heat up. Noted above she works with Euromaidanpress.com and Informnapalm.org which is the outlet for Ukrainian state-sponsored hackers.

When you look at Dimitri Alperovitch’s twitter relationships, you have to ask why the CEO of a $150 million dollar company like Crowdstrike follows Ukrainian InformNapalm and its hackers individually. There is a mutual relationship. When you add up his work for the OUNb, Ukraine, support for Ukraine’s Intelligence, and to the hackers it needs to be investigated to see if Ukraine is conspiring against the US government.

'''Alperovitch and Fancy Bear tweet each other?'''

Crowdstrike is also following their hack of a Russian government official after the DNC hack. It closely resembles the same method used with the DNC because it was an email hack.

ff-twitter-com-2016-12-30-02-24-54

Crowdstrike’s product line includes Falcon Host, Falcon Intelligence, Falcon Overwatch and Falcon DNS. Is it possible the hackers in Falcons Flame are another service Crowdstrike offers? Although this profile says [[Virginia]], tweets are from the Sofia, [[Bulgaria]] time zone and he writes in Russian. Another curiosity considering the Fancy Bear source code is in Russian. This image shows Crowdstrike in their network.

'''Crowdstrike is part of Ukrainian nationalist hacker network'''

In an interview with Euromaidanpress these hackers say they have no need for the CIA. They consider the CIA amateurish. They also say they are not part of the Ukrainian military Cyberalliance is a quasi-organization with the participation of several groups – RUH8, Trinity, Falcon Flames, Cyberhunta. There are structures affiliated to the hackers – the [[Myrotvorets]] site, Informnapalm analytical agency.”

In the image it shows a network diagram of Crowdstrike following the Surkov leaks. The network communication goes through a secondary source. This is something you do when you don’t want to be too obvious. Here is another example of that.

'''Ukrainian Intelligence and the real Fancy Bear?'''

Although OSINT Academy sounds fairly innocuous, it’s the official twitter account for Ukraine’s Ministry of Information head Dimitri Zolotukin. It is also Ukrainian Intelligence. The Ministry of Information started the Peacekeeper or Myrotvorets website that geolocates [[journalist]]s and other people for assassination. If you disagree with OUNb politics, you could be on the list.

Should someone tell Dimitri Alperovitch that [[Gerashchenko]], who is now in charge of Peacekeeper recently threatened president-elect [[Donald Trump]] that he would put him on his “Peacemaker” site as a target? The same has been done with [[Silvio Berlusconi]] in the past.

Trying not to be obvious, the Head of Ukraine’s Information Ministry (UA Intelligence) tweeted something interesting that ties Alperovitch and Crowdstrike to the Ukrainian Intelligence hackers and the Information Ministry even tighter.

'''Trying to keep it hush hush?'''

This single tweet on a network chart shows that out of all the Ukrainian Ministry of Information Minister’s following, he only wanted the 3 hacking groups associated with both him and Alperovitch to get the tweet. Alperovitch’s story was received and not retweeted or shared. If this was just Alperovitch’s victory, it was a victory for Ukraine. It would be shared heavily. If it was a victory for the hacking squad, it would be smart to keep it to themselves and not draw unwanted attention.

These same hackers are associated with Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa through the portals and organizations they work with through their OUNb. The hackers are funded and directed by or through the same OUNb channels that Alperovitch is working for and with to promote the story of Russian hacking.

'''Pravy Sektor Hackers and Crowdstrike?'''

When you look at the image for the hacking group in the Euromaidan press article, one of the hackers identifies themselves as one of Dimitri Yarosh’s Pravy Sektor members by the Pravy Sektor sweatshirt they have on. Noted above, Pravy Sektor admitted to killing the people at the Maidan protest and sparked the coup.

Going further with the linked Euromaidanpress article the hackers say” Let’s understand that Ukrainian hackers and Russian hackers once constituted a single very powerful group. Ukrainian hackers have a rather high level of work. So the help of the USA… I don’t know, why would we need it? We have all the talent and special means for this. And I don’t think that the [[USA]] or any [[NATO]] country would make such sharp movements in international politics.”

What sharp movements in international politics have been made lately? Let me spell it out for the 17 US Intelligence Agencies so there is no confusion. These state sponsored, Russian language hackers in [[Eastern Europe]]an time zones have shown with the Surkov hack they have the tools and experience to hack states that are looking out for it. They are also laughing at US intel efforts.

The hackers also made it clear that they will do anything to serve Ukraine. Starting a war between Russia and the USA is the one way they could serve Ukraine best, and hurt Russia worst. Given those facts, if the DNC hack was according to the criteria given by Alperovitch, both he and these hackers need to be investigated.

According to the ''Esquire'' interview “Alperovitch was deeply frustrated: He thought the government should tell the world what it knew. There is, of course, an element of the personal in his battle cry. “A lot of people who are born here don’t appreciate the freedoms we have, the opportunities we have, because they’ve never had it any other way,” he told me. “I have.”

While I agree patriotism is a great thing, confusing it with this kind of nationalism is not. Alperovitch seems to think by serving OUNb Ukraine’s interests and delivering a conflict with Russia that is against American interests, he’s a patriot. He isn’t serving US interests. He’s definitely a Ukrainian patriot. Maybe he should move to Ukraine.

The evidence presented deserves investigation because it looks like the case for conflict of interest is the least Dimitri Alperovitch should look forward to. If these hackers are the real Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, they really did make sharp movements in international politics.

By pawning it off on Russia, they made a worldwide embarrassment of an outgoing President of the United States and made the President Elect the suspect of rumor.

From the Observer.com, “Andrea Chalupa—the sister of DNC research staffer Alexandra Chalupa—claimed on social media, without any evidence, that despite Clinton conceding the election to Trump, the voting results need to be audited to because Clinton couldn’t have lost—it must have been Russia. Chalupa hysterically tweeted to every politician on Twitter to audit the vote because of Russia and claimed the TV show ''The Americans'', about two KGB spies living in America, is real.”

Quite possibly now the former UK Ambassador Craig Murry’s admission of being the involved party to “leaks” should be looked at. “Now both [[Julian Assange]] and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access? Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness. Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling.”}}

==US biological labs==
Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the [[US Department of Defense]] (DoD) and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The [[Pentagon]] has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
[[File:Biological research labs.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian military reported it had identified 30 sites where biological research with pathogens had been occurring under the direction of the [[Pentagon]].]]
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<ref>https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/</ref>

One such biological lab contractor is [[Metabiota]], a company financed by [[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the state owned Bank of China. Metabiota was awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the so-called "Defense Threat Reduction Program" in the former Soviet [[Republic of Georgia]] and Ukraine.<ref>https://govtribe.com/contract/award/hdtra114c0104</ref> Metabiota receives the lion's share of funding as a U.S. defense contractor for bio labs in Ukraine.

Captured documents published by Russia claimed the labs were working on [[biological weapons]] such as [[anthrax]] and plague and that the Pentagon instructed the labs to destroy them in violation of Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1500499205663645700</ref> Russia released captured U.S. documents indicating that among the work of the U.S.-funded biolabs was the testing of 400 and 4000 Ukrainian soldiers, respectively, for antibodies to Crimea-Congo fever and regional hantaviruses, and a search for anthrax spores in soil at livestock graves.

On March 7, 2022, the Russian military claimed to have identified 30 sites where pathogenic research under the direction of the U.S. Defense Department had been occurring on the territory of Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, "The Ukrainian biological laboratories in [[Lvov]] were conducting work with infectious agents of plague, anthrax, and brucellosis, while the labs in Kharkov and Poltava were working with infectious agents of [[diphtheria]], [[Salmonella|salmonellosis]], and [[dysentery]]…The government in Kiev had sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United States thousands of patients’ serum samples, primarily from patients of “[[Slavic]] [[ethnic]]ity”, under the pretext of testing [[COVID-19]] treatment methods”.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220307/30-biolabs-whose-activities-were-commissioned-by-pentagon-were-formed-in-ukraine---russian-mod-1093662299.html</ref>

The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.

The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}

In the run up to the wider war, both the [[United States]] and NATO rejected, without consideration, two formal diplomatic proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] for peace treaties between the Russian Federation, United States and NATO to avoid war. The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed.

Numerous attacks by Ukrainian forces on its own citizens, which had been ongoing in the Donbas region for the eight previous years, spread outside the Donbas to create [[false flag]] images of attacks by Russians. Efforts to rehabilitate the image and reputation of Nazis and Nazism by Western and Ukrainian media and [[psyop]]s were non-stop since the beginning of the Russian incursion, with permanent and debilitating damage to the West's educational system and image throughout the civilized world. By early April 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been so degraded and decimated, or were out of fuel and unable to retreat, the Maidan regime doubled down on soft power, [[psyops|psychological operations]] and propaganda to garner sympathy from the West for continued support.

In early December 2021 it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125,000 troops, half of its forces, against the predominantly Russian speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.<ref>https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2021/12/01/russia-ukraine-has-deployed-half-of-its-army-to-donbass-conflict-zone</ref> Previously, on October 19, 2022, ''The Jerusalem Post'' reported that Canada, the US, France, the UK and other Western countries helped train neo-Nazi extremists in Ukraine.<ref>https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/western-countries-training-far-right-extremists-in-ukraine-report-682411</ref> Military analyst Boris Rozhin predicted an escalation of the conflict by the Kyiv regime and their NATO consultants with a full-scale provocation in Donbas.

===Propaganda war===
In their drive to stoke hostilities between [[the West]] and Russia, corporate media ignored the fact that the U.S. and NATO forces have been supporting openly Neo-Nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine for many years. A MintPress study of the op-ed pages of ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Wall Street Journal'' found that only one of 91 articles published in January 2022 mentioned this connection at all, with far more asserting that Vladimir Putin himself is Hitler incarnate. Around 90% of opinion columns pushed a “get tough on Russia” message, with anti-war voices few and far between.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/279612-2/279612/</ref> “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” Ivan Katchanovski, Professor of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, told MintPress, adding:
[[File:Wolfsangel.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian flag with Nazi SS Wolfsangel insignia. Ukrainian Nazis served in the Nazi SS Galacia Division to fight against Russia in [[World War II]] and are known for horrific atrocities against Russian, [[Polish]], and [[Jewish]] civilians.<ref>https://spzh.news/en/zashhita-very/68324-ss-galichina-uniaty-kholokost-i-zhizny-v-sostojanii-lzhi</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in Donbas even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention. The Western media also omitted that recent ‘unity marches’ in Kharkiv and Kyiv and a staged training of civilians, including a grandmother, were organized and led by the far right, in particular, the [[Azov Battalion|Neo-Nazi Azov [Battalion].]]”<ref>https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski/status/1490034084600594436</ref>}}
Conducting a civilian training operation in the middle of the Donbas city of [[Mariupol]] while a crowd of Western journalists looked on, Azov units showed locals how to use rifles. The image of a silver-haired, 79-year-old “babushka” staring down the sights of an [[AK-47]] went viral around the world, allowing the media to construct an “everyone in brave Ukraine is doing their part to oppose an imminent Russian invasion” narrative. The story was covered by a host of outlets, including [[ABC News]], [[MSNBC]], [[Newsweek]], the [[BBC]], ''[[The Guardian]]'' and The Financial Times, as well as by media in [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[Israel]], [[Denmark]], [[Thailand]] and [[Indonesia]]. Images from the training day featured on the front cover of six national British newspapers on February 14, 2022.

This was all despite the fact that the Wolfsangel insignia of the many Azov soldiers instructing the grandmother is clearly visible in a number of the images. The Wolfsangel was the crest of the infamous [[SS]] brigades, [[Hitler]]’s elite paramilitary units that carried out the extermination of millions of people (including countless Ukrainians) in Nazi death camps across Europe. The image is widely used by Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. and is considered a hate symbol by the [[Anti-Defamation League]]. Azov’s original commander, politician Andriy Biletsky, has stated that he sees Ukraine’s mission as to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against [[Semite]]-led subhumans.” None of the outlets above mentioned the fact that they were profiling Neo-Nazis.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-reveal-us-ned-spent-22m-promoting-anti-russia-narrative-ukraine/279734/</ref>

===Evacuation of Russian citizens===

As tensions escalated in mid-February 2022, some 700,000 women, children, and elderly were being evacuated to Rostov in neighboring Russia.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ukraine-russia-separatists-shelling-civilians_n_620fc47de4b0f2c343f3d4fa</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1406247</ref> Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] instructed the Russian government to house and feed people fleeing the Ukrainian military advance once they arrived in southern Russia. Each refugee arriving from Donbass is to be given a payment of 10,000 roubles ($129). [[RT]] reported Denis Pushilin, the head of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]] warned, "Kiev can start a full-scale assault on Donbass at any moment, the situation is critical”<ref>https://www.rt.com/russia/549912-donetsk-leader-ukraine-invasion-war/</ref> A fullscale [[mobilization]] was ordered, and men 18 to 55 were conscripted to remain and defend against the Ukrainian military attack.<ref>https://youtu.be/GksixfgW_Q0</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/hUTXV4VusTM</ref>

===Cyberattack===
On February 19, 2022, Luhansk internet providers came under cyberattack.<ref>https://aleph.wtf/22943/</ref>

===Ceasefire violations===
On February 19, 2022, the JCCC reported: “A total of 49 ceasefire violations by the Ukrainian armed forces were registered on the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the past day."<ref>https://tass.com/world/1406513</ref>

===Peacekeepers===
After repeated artillery sheeling of civilian residences by NATO-baked Ukrainian fascists, Russian peacekeeper forces were sent into the independent Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk on February 21, 2022.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/donbas-rebel-leaders-formally-urge-immediate-russian-military-assistance</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/a73W9wNZx4M</ref>

===Operation Denazification===
{{See also|Operation Denazification}}
On February 23, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into Greater Ukraine in a demilitarization and denazification operation.<ref>https://tass.ru/politika/13825671</ref>

In a televised speech shortly before 04:00 Moscow time on 24 February 2022, Putin announced that he had ordered Russian forces to enter eastern Ukraine. He insisted it was not Russia's intention to annex the country, but stated that Russia would protect the right of the self-declared breakaway republics to self-determination, and that it would do so by forcing the "demilitarisation" of the remainder of the Ukraine. Minutes later, explosions were reported at various points throughout the country, including the Ukrainian capital of Kiev as well as at Kharkov, Odessa, and several other cities. Ukrainian officials attributed these to cruise and ballistic missiles launched by Russian units at their military installations.

Russian ground troops were reported entering the Ukraine at around 06:48 local time near the city of Senkivka on the northern border, with others entering from the Crimea in the south shortly thereafter.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/23/europe/russia-ukraine-putin-military-operation-donbas-intl-hnk/index.html Russia launches military attack on Ukraine with reports of explosions and troops crossing border]. CNN. Thu February 24, 2022.</ref> Ukrainian government sources reported throughout the day that Russian units had launched attacks on numerous targets, including a landing of airborne soldiers at the Antonov International Airport outside Kiev, but added that their own forces were counterattacking and had inflicted heavy casualties on the Russians. A press conference by Ukrainian President Zelensky at 16:00 Kiev time revealed that heavy fighting was occurring in the [[Chernobyl]] Exclusion Zone, site of the 1986 nuclear accident, which lies along the direct route of advance towards Kiev from the north.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/chernobyl-nuclear-russia-attack-ukraine-b2022444.html Fighting breaks out close to Chernobyl nuclear waste facility, says Ukrainian president] Rory Sullivan, ''The Independent'' (UK). Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

==Reactions==

Russia's actions in the Donbas region were condemned by a number of world leaders. In a speech to the House of Commons on 24 February, British Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] called Putin's claim of seeking the "demilitarisation and denazification" of the Ukraine an "absurd pretext" and accused him of attacking his "free and peaceful neighbor. "Putin will stand condemned," he said, "in the eyes of the world and of history."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgQ10FfZyOs</ref> [[NATO]] Secretary General [[Jens Stoltenberg]] announced that NATO troops would be deployed to Poland in the near future; at the same time, the [[EU]] warned of "massive" sanctions against Russian assets.<ref>[https://euobserver.com/world/154423 'Massive' EU sanctions to target Putin's war chest]. Andrew Rettman, ''The EUObserver''. Thu 24 Feb 2022.</ref>

[[Pope Francis]] declared the next [[Ash Wednesday]] (2 March) to be an international day of fasting and prayer for peace, while Justin Welby, the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], called Russian movement into the Ukraine "an act of great evil."<ref>[https://www.churchofengland.org/media-and-news/press-releases/attack-ukraine-act-great-evil-statement-archbishops-canterbury-and Attack on Ukraine 'an act of great evil'-statement from Archbishops of Canterbury and York] The Church of England, 24 February 2022.</ref>

The '''[[Russia-Ukraine War]]''' was a [[proxy war]] started by the [[United States]] in 2014 with the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of [[Ukraine]]<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/</ref> with the aid of [[neo-Nazi]] forces.<ref>https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY</ref>

There are multiple issues that led to the [[Russian]] incursion into Ukraine in February 2022:<ref>[https://youtu.be/yUblV23WL4c Reasons for the War between Russia and Ukraine].</ref>

1. [[ethnic cleansing]] of native Russians in the [[Donbas]] region and unrelenting shelling of civilian communities by the [[Maidan]] regime since 2014; 
2. defending the Russian homeland against NATO aggression; 
3. the Kyiv regime's [[discrimination]] against Russian speaking people and making them second-class citizens in the country of their birth;

8. existence of the Maidan regime's [[Myrotvorets]] kill list public website of "enemies of Ukraine; 
9. the United States and NATO's violation of the Naval and Ground Warfare Hague Conventions; 
10. NATO's desire to dismember the Russian Federation in order to seize its oil and gas reserves using Ukrainian troops as cannon fodder; 
11. continued efforts by the [[CIA]] to subvert and overthrow the legitimate governments of [[Belarus]] and Russia; 
12. [[NATO]] infiltration into [[Ukraine]] and supplying weapons and training to [[neo-Nazi]] groups; 
13. NATO's violation of the Joint Allied Ceasefire Declaration of May 1945 ending [[World War II]] which declared membership in a Nazi organization a crime; 
14. NATO-Ukraine's destruction of monuments to soldiers who defeated Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, and fascism and liberated the territories of Ukraine; 
15. efforts to dispose of old Soviet-era weapons stockpiles among former [[Warsaw Pact]] members and upgrade them with modern standard NATO equipment; 
16. the presence of 46 U.S. biological laboratories doing research with dangerous [[pathogens]] on the territory of Ukraine near the Russian border; 
17. the transformation of Ukraine into a testing ground for pharmaceutical experiments by [[Big Pharma]] in circumvention of international safety standards and to by-pass regulations, informed consent, and disclosure laws in Western countries;<ref>https://thesaker.is/empire-of-bioweapon-lies/</ref> 
18. to turn Ukraine into a testing ground for the newest NATO weapons;<ref>https://nypost.com/2022/07/20/ukraine-invites-arms-makers-to-test-weapons-against-russia/</ref>

21. competition between the [[European Union]] and the [[Eurasian Economic Union]] over the boundaries of their respective trade zones, playing a central role in the illegal [[Maidan coup]]; 
22. violation of the assurances given by NATO not to expand eastward beyond the Oder–Neisse line which in exchange Soviet leaders consented to the re-unification of Germany;

==1991 - 2022==
{{See also|History of Ukraine}}
When the [[Soviet Union]] collapsed in 1991, 25 million ethnic Russians woke up the next day finding themselves citizens of countries outside Russia proper. Working and retired ethnic Russians in their new countries of citizenship lost the social security pension benefits that the former Soviet regime had promised them. None of these citizens and workers had any democratic voice in their fate. Many if not most of these ethnic Russians themselves were the descendants of victims of the Soviet [[communist]] regime whose parents or grandparents had been deported to Soviet Republics outside of the Russian Federation by the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]]'s security services, the [[NKVD]] for being uncooperative in the Soviet system. Putin called the loss of Russian citizenship and citizenship rights as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union a "genuine tragedy". As of 2014 when the U.S.-backed Maidan coup occurred in Ukraine, 10 million Russians lived as a minority in [[multicultural]] Ukraine. Immediately after the new unelected regime was installed by the West, discriminatory laws and ethnic violence targeted the Russian minority. The [[Donbas war]] claimed nearly 14,000 lives between 2014 and 2022, mostly civilians including children and elderly, as the West and the rest of the "civilized" world ignored the crisis.

In the run up to the wider war, both the United States and NATO rejected, without consideration, two formal diplomatic proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] for peace treaties between the Russian Federation, United States and NATO to avoid war.<ref>[https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790818/?lang=en Treaty between The United States of America and the Russian Federation on security guarantees], Ministry of the Russian Federation, 17 December 2021.</ref><ref>[https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790803/?lang=en Agreement on measures to ensure the security of The Russian Federation and member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization], Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation, 17 December 2021.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/woOvb US, NATO rule out halt to expansion, reject Russian demands]. By MATTHEW LEE and LORNE COOK, ''Associated Press'', January 7, 2022.</ref> The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed. The U.S. and NATO rejected the proposals out of hand in December 2021, and instead acted aggressively by sending more NATO forces to Eastern Europe and continued to heavily arm Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/24/what-putin-says-are-the-causes-aims-of-russias-military-action/</ref>

NATO-backed neo-Nazi proxy forces attacked the [[Donbas]] again on February 14, 2022.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/17/western-media-is-literally-peddling-neo-nazi-propaganda-to-prompt-war-between-russia-and-ukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3848518841859137</ref><ref>https://kanekoa.substack.com/p/osce-reports-reveal-ukraine-started</ref> Military forces of the Russian Federation (RF) entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022, to put an end to the ethnic violence and de-nazify the areas where the children and grandchildren of World War II Nazi collaborators had been carrying an ethnic hatred of Russians since the [[Holodomor]] of the 1930s and earlier. A wave of [[patriotism]] swept over Russian society, viewing the operation as a second [[Great Patriotic War]].<ref>https://thesaker.is/two-videos-from-the-ukrainian-blogger-iurii-podoliaka-must-see/</ref> Soldiers felt they were sent to finish the job of de-nazifying Ukraine that their grandfathers left unfinished after World War II.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/ItE2zdYHPcL2/</ref> The use of civilian human shields by the U.S-trained Armed Forces of Ukraine led to civilian casualties and was a primary strategy of the NATO proxies. Ukrainian security forces committed reprisal actions and atrocities against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in areas which Russian forces vacated. Numerous attacks by Ukrainian forces on its own citizens, which had been ongoing in the Donbas region for the eight previous years, spread outside the Donbas to create [[false flag]] images of attacks by Russians. Efforts to rehabilitate the image and reputation of Nazis and Nazism by Western and Ukrainian media and [[psyop]]s were non-stop since the beginning of the Russian incursion, with permanent and debilitating damage to the West's educational system and image throughout the civilized world. By early April 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been so degraded and decimated, or were out of fuel and unable to retreat, the Maidan regime doubled down on soft power, [[psyops|psychological operations]] and propaganda to garner sympathy from the West for continued support.

====US owned biological labs====
{{See also|U.S. funded biological labs abroad}}
Between 2005 and early 2022, the US poured more than $224 million into biological research in Ukraine, according to Russia's Investigative Committee.

Ukraine has no control over the military bio-laboratories on its own territory. According to the 2005 Agreement between the [[US Department of Defense]] (DoD) and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US DoD dangerous pathogens for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The [[Pentagon]] has been granted access to certain state secrets of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
[[File:Biological research labs.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian military reported it had identified 30 sites where biological research with pathogens had been occurring under the direction of the [[Pentagon]].]]
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an international organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<ref>https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/</ref>

One such biological lab contractor is [[Metabiota]], a company financed by [[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the state owned Bank of China. Metabiota was awarded a $18.4 million federal contract under the so-called "Defense Threat Reduction Program" in the former Soviet [[Republic of Georgia]] and Ukraine.<ref>https://govtribe.com/contract/award/hdtra114c0104</ref> Metabiota receives the lion's share of funding as a U.S. defense contractor for bio labs in Ukraine.

Captured documents published by Russia claimed the labs were working on [[biological weapons]] such as [[anthrax]] and plague and that the Pentagon instructed the labs to destroy them in violation of Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1500499205663645700</ref> Russia released captured U.S. documents indicating that among the work of the U.S.-funded biolabs was the testing of 400 and 4000 Ukrainian soldiers, respectively, for antibodies to Crimea-Congo fever and regional hantaviruses, and a search for anthrax spores in soil at livestock graves.

On March 7, 2022, the Russian military claimed to have identified 30 sites where pathogenic research under the direction of the U.S. Defense Department had been occurring on the territory of Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, "The Ukrainian biological laboratories in [[Lvov]] were conducting work with infectious agents of plague, anthrax, and brucellosis, while the labs in Kharkov and Poltava were working with infectious agents of [[diphtheria]], [[Salmonella|salmonellosis]], and [[dysentery]]…The government in Kiev had sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United States thousands of patients’ serum samples, primarily from patients of “[[Slavic]] [[ethnic]]ity”, under the pretext of testing [[COVID-19]] treatment methods”.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220307/30-biolabs-whose-activities-were-commissioned-by-pentagon-were-formed-in-ukraine---russian-mod-1093662299.html</ref>

The term "biological weapons" includes biological formulations that contain pathogenic micro-organisms and toxins, as well as the means of delivery and use of said formulations. While the priority for Ukrainian healthcare is socially significant diseases such as [[HIV]], [[poliomyelitis]], [[measles]] and [[hepatitis]], US customers are interested in a completely different nomenclature: [[cholera]], [[tularemia]], [[plague]] and hantaviruses.

As a result of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, facts of work with the specified pathogens, which are potential agents of biological weapons, have been revealed. At the same time, it was noted that Ukraine had sent a request to the manufacturing company regarding the possibility of equipping the Bayraktar drones with aerosol equipment. In addition on March 9, 2022, three unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with 30-litre containers and equipment for spraying formulations were detected by Russian reconnaissance units in Kherson region. At the end of April 2022, ten more were found near Kakhovka.<ref>https://telegra.ph/Briefing-on-the-results-of-the-analysis-of-documents-related-to-the-military-biological-activities-of-the-United-States-on-the-t-05-11</ref>

Only three laboratories in Ukraine had the required safety criteria to undertake the type of research they were doing, according to the Russian military. Captured Ukrainian government documents point to a series of problems at one of those sites in Odessa.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of the Radioactive, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces, accused the Kyiv regime of carrying out “inhumane experiments” on Ukrainian patients and of launching a biological attack against the Lugansk Peoples Republic in early May 2022. Other evidence suggests that when Russia moved soldiers into Ukraine in February 2022, attempts were made to weaponize drones to spread pathogens and to destroy compromising materials. In response to the revelations by Russia's Investigative Committee, the Pentagon fessed up in June 2022 to funding 46 biological research facilities in Ukraine over the last 20 years.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/pentagon-admits-biolabs-ukraine/</ref>

In the 30 U.S. owned and operated biological laboratories the Russian military discovered on the territory of Ukraine in early 2022; the United States Department of Defense later reported the existence of 46 such facilities in Ukraine. Russian defense minister Gen. [[Sergei Shoigu]] said at the opening of the 10th Moscow International Security Conference in August 2022: "information provocations are aimed at distracting attention from the facts discovered in Ukraine that US experts have conducted banned military and biological research. Currently, a significant amount of data has been accumulated...US military-biological activities in Ukraine are not exceptional. Pentagon-controlled laboratories have been established and operate in many post-Soviet, Asian, African and Latin American countries. Local authorities generally have no control over research carried out on their premises that poses a lethal threat to the local population. The consequences of [[epidemic]]s, I believe, were felt by all during the period of the fight against the spread of [[coronavirus]]."

===American nuclear doctrine===
American military planners have quietly disposed of the Doctrine of [[Mutual Assured Destruction]] and now believe they can win a [[nuclear war]] with a nuclear first strike. The doctrine of America initiating, surviving, and "winning" a nuclear war is known as the doctrine of "[[Nuclear Primacy]]".<ref>[https://archive.is/TR1qG America’s Secret Planned Conquest of Russia], December 29, 2016 by Eric Zuesse.</ref> American military planners believe they can knock out [[Moscow]]'s command and control center before Russian leadership has an opportunity to react. While in most scenarios military planners understand the North American homeland and civilian population will take a hit, they believe portions of the US can ultimately survive and prevail.

Of course, destroying Russia with a thousand nuclear weapons would also destroy much of the world's food production, alter the climate and cause millions of refugees to flow out of Russia, but the United States would win the war.

===US funding and training Nazi paramilitary groups===
In 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a provision blocking any training of the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] by American forces. The House previously passed amendments banning support of Azov between 2014 and 2017, but due to pressure from the [[Pentagon]], the amendments were quietly lifted. This was protested by the [[Simon Wiesenthal]] Center which stated that lifting the ban highlighted the danger of [[Holocaust]] distortion in Ukraine.<ref>https://archive.ph/g7a9V</ref> NATO by-passed Congressional action by training Azov fighters in [[Canada]] under Operation Unifer with an $890 million budget.<ref>https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/operations/military-operations/current-operations/operation-unifier.html</ref> Congress later rescinded the prohibition in 2019. ''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022, six weeks before the Russian incursion:
{{quotebox-float|"The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.

The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.

The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}

===Western duplicity in scuttling the Minsk Accords===

The [[Minsk Accords]] were negotiated between the two [[Donbas]] Republics and the [[Kyiv regime]] in 2014 and 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]]. The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]]. [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well.

A meeting between representatives of the four countries, France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine was held in [[Paris]] on January 26, 2022, in the context of the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220124122214/https://www.reuters.com/world/political-advisers-hold-four-way-talks-ukraine-paris-2022-01-22/</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220125205354/https://www.dw.com/en/scholz-macron-say-diplomacy-can-fix-ukraine-russia-standoff/a-60549166</ref> The representatives of the four governments confirmed their support for Minsk II and committed themselves to resolving existing disagreements. They supported an unconditional ceasefire.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220127023902/https://www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-macron/2022/01/26/declaration-of-the-advisors-to-the-n4-heads-of-states-and-governments</ref>

In June 2022 former Kyiv regime strongman [[Petro Poroshenko]], in an interview with Radio Liberty, admitted that he had signed the Minsk agreements, but had no intention to fulfill them. He noted that he wanted to buy time in order to get more weapons from [[the West]].<ref>https://tfiglobalnews.com/2022/06/20/ukraines-new-masterstroke-against-russia-is-actually-ukraines-biggest-pro-russia-move/</ref>

In an interview with ''Zeit'' magazine in December 2022, former German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] confirmed the [[Western alliance]]'s [[duplicity]] in using the Minsk Accords to buy time for the [[NATO]]ization of Ukraine to use as a battering ram for destruction of the [[Russian Federation]].

Merkel described the September 2014 Minsk agreement which France and Germany had brokered a ceasefire after the failure of Ukraine's attempt to subdue the republics of [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] by force. “[Ukraine] used this time to get stronger, as you can see today. The Ukraine of 2014/15 is not the Ukraine of today. As you saw in the battle for Debaltsevo in early 2015, [Russian President Vladimir] [[Putin]] could easily have overrun them at the time. And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much then as they do now to help Ukraine.” The [[Kyiv regime]]'s defeat at Debaltsevo resulted in the Minsk II protocol signed in February 2015. Merkel said that it was “clear to all of us that the conflict was frozen, that the problem had not been solved, but that gave Ukraine valuable time.”<ref>https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/merkel:-minsk-agreement-attempted-to-give-ukraine-time</ref>

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] responding to Merkel's comments stated, "The things that Merkel said in her interview - this is a testimony of a person, who stated it directly that everything that was done in 2014 and 2015 had only one goal: to divert the global community’s attention from the real problems, to buy some time, to pump the [[Kiev regime]] with weapons and to lead the situation to a large-scale conflict”.<ref>https://tass.com/politics/1547779</ref>

Former [[French]] president [[Francois Hollande]], an accomplice in the duplicity, corroborated Merkel's account. Under UN Security Council Resolution 2202 endorsing the Minsk Accords, Vladimir Putin has the right to intervene in Ukraine as a guarantor under his "responsibility to protect".<ref>https://www.voltairenet.org/article218584.html</ref>

==U.S. overthrow of the democratically elected government==
{{See also|Maidan coup}}
In 2014, the [[United States]], under the [[Obama administration]], orchestrated the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of Ukraine. This violated the "rules based order" that the United States claims to advocate. Obama Undersecretary of State [[Victoria Nuland]], who assembled the cabinet for the new illegal regime, selected Nazis to fill positions in the Ministry of the Interior (secret police) and Ministry of Defense due to their violently anti-Russian stance. Almost immediately, those ministries received U.S. funding and began coordinating with NATO.

==="Heavenly hundred"===
Key neoconservatives, such as [[Victoria Nuland]] and Sen. [[John McCain]], began pushing for the [[violent]] coup that in February 2014 ousted Ukraine's elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] and touched off the [[new Cold War]] with Russia. Senior U.S. government officials reportedly told the leaders of the [[Svoboda party]] that the deaths of a few protestors would not be enough to change Western support, but the Yanukovych government would only change if the number of victims was greater than one hundred.<ref>https://rumble.com/vxdun0-the-maidan-sniper-massacre-revealing-ukraine.html</ref>

On February 20, 2014, a sniper firing from a building controlled by the [[Pravy Sektor]] shot and killed both police and protesters. The organized mass killing of both protesters and the police had the goal of delegitimizing the Yanukovych government and its forces and seizing power in Ukraine. Oligarchic and Ukrainian nationalist elements were involved in this massacre. The official investigation by the coup regime was fabricated and stonewalled.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8</ref>

The official forensic investigations which were made public at the Maidan massacre trial revealed that on February 20, 2014, the absolute majority of the protesters were shot from side and back directions and from top to bottom directions, while videos and photos of the massacre showed them facing the Berkut special police force on the same ground level. In January 2015, a forensic ballistic examination conducted upon the request of prosecution concluded that bullets extracted from killed protesters did not match the bullet samples from any Kalashnikov assault rifle which members of the Berkut special police force were then armed. The findings of this computer-based ballistic examination and results of the other 40 ballistic examinations were reversed in a couple of ballistic examinations conducted manually in the very end of the investigation. Such unexplained reversals which contradicted other evidence, such as testimonies of wounded protesters and results of forensic medical examinations, suggested that the findings of the new examinations of bullets were unreliable and likely falsified. The forensic ballistic examinations also found that many protesters were killed on February 18–20 by hunting pellets and expanding hunting bullets, in particular, with caliber that did not match calibers of weapons used by the special police company, whose members were charged with killings these protesters.<ref>Katchanovski</ref>

A female Maidan medic during the massacre was pointing to the top of a building and shouting about snipers. But her words were translated in a [[BBC]] report as referring to six protesters killed by the snipers in that area. A Maidan protester and another Maidan medic, who were wounded near the same spot where two protesters were killed, both testified at the Maidan massacre trial that they were shot from this building. Government ballistic experts confirmed this during on-site investigative experiments.

These revelations were not reported by any Western media. This includes ''The New York Time'', which on April 5, 2014, profiled this wounded protester against the backdrop of an unquestioned report by the acting Kiev regime that blaming “former President Viktor F. Yanukovych, his riot police and their suspected Russian assistants for the violence that killed more than 100 people in Kiev in February.” It also includes [[CNN]], which filmed the shooting of this medic and attributed it to the government forces.

The Maidan regime investigation simply denies that there were any snipers there and in other Maidan-controlled buildings, and refuses to investigate them. This is done despite videos of such snipers and testimonies of the absolute majority of wounded protesters at the trial and investigation and more than 150 other witnesses about snipers in these locations.

The official investigation in Ukraine simply denies that there were any such snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, even though the Prosecutor General Office of Ukraine previously stated that snipers massacred many protesters from the Hotel Ukraina and other buildings.
<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/22/the-buried-maidan-massacre-and-its-misrepresentation-by-the-west/</ref>

Testimonies by five Georgian ex-military members in Italian, Israeli, Macedonian and Russian media and their published depositions to defense lawyers of police from the former regime in the Maidan massacre trial have also been ignored. They stated that their groups received weapons, payments, and orders to massacre both police and protesters from specific Maidan and Georgian politicians. They also said that they received instructions from an ex-U.S. Army sniper and then saw Georgian, Baltic States, and Praqvy Sektor-linked snipers shooting from specific Maidan-controlled buildings.

Western media silence also ignored a statement by Anatolii Hrytsenko, who was a Maidan politician and minister of defense, that the investigation of the massacre was stonewalled because of the involvement of someone from the current leadership of Ukraine in the mass killing.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171019101358/http://world.time.com/2014/02/21/ukraine-parliament-yanukovych-kiev-deal/</ref>

===Ukrainian racial theories===

In March 2022 the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, a governmental entity, published in both Russian and English a series of arguments claiming Ukrainians are pureblood [[Slavs]], while the Russian nation was formed through mixing with Asiatic tribes, "the Ugro-Finnish tribes: Muroma, Mernia, Wes, Meshchera, Moksha, Perm, Narova, and others,” it stated. The difference apparently is “visible to the naked eye”. Despite the common language, alphabet, history, society, culture, and literary traditions, the Institute denies that Ukrainians and Russians are "fraternal brothers," and states that Ukrainians are European, unlike "russian nomads" (spelled with a lower case "r". Several cabinet ministers in the Zelensky regime make a habit of always spelling "Russia" with a lower case "r".)

In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/</ref> The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.<ref>https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/</ref> The Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to ban Russian-language music.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-to-ban-russian-music-culture/31905236.html</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref>

Secretary of the Security Council Alexei Danilov said on the air of the NTA TV channel that the Russian language must be completely eradicated on the territory of Ukraine. According to Danilov, the Russian language is allegedly hostile to Ukrainians, so it has no place in this country. "The Russian language in general should disappear from our territory as an element of hostile propaganda and brainwashing of our population," Danilov said on a national talk show.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/10/21/national-security-and-defense-council-of-ukraine-the-russian-language-must-disappear/</ref> Danilov claimed that the "narrative" about the need to reach mutual understanding with Russian-speaking Ukrainians is highly dangerous for the state. "To plant these Russian narratives here is a very, very dangerous thing. Presumably, we have to understand each other, who they are, what they are. Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated.

Danilov complained about a large number of Ukrainian political experts who regularly appear on television using Russian as the main language. In response to this, the show host proposed to create and broadcast a list of Ukrainian public figures that speak Russian. He also said that the state-owned Ukrainian channel Freedom will abandon the Russian language and start broadcasting in English. “I would like to draw your attention to something else – we have a lot of experts who go from channel to channel and use Russian as the main language of their communication. Moreover, they are rated in some studies, they claim, they say that they will go to the president, somewhere else. Look, the Russian language should disappear from our territories altogether as an element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing for our population,” Danilov added.

The Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk sent out a tweet using the lower case "r" for Russians, which many Kyiv regime authorities use to express derision and disrespect:

In October 2022 it was reported that Ukrainian nationalists tore down statues of Hungarian historic figures. Ukraine sperm banks advertised specimens from "pure blood' Ukrainians.

According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Ukraine, which never existed prior to 1918, first applied to join the European Union in 988 A.D. ([[Anno Domini]]).<ref>https://youtu.be/6ryrNQibEGo?t=1378</ref> The European Union, which was founded as a coal and steel consortium in 1957, did not adopt the name "European Union" until 1992 A.D. after going through a series of other name changes.

According to ''Jewish News'', a publication of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, antisemitic graffiti was discovered in the city of Uzhhorod in western Ukraine on December 26, 2022.

An email sent from [[Hunter Biden]] to his business partner Devon Archer on April 13, 2014, contained information from a classified [[State Department]] memo one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet prime minister [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]].

{{quotebox-float|“The strategic value is to create a land bridge for [[Russia|RU]] to [[Crimea]]. That won’t directly affect [[Burisma]] holdings but it will limit future [[UK]] exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular.

The people of the Donbas refused to recognize the legitimacy of the illegal [[coup]], so the newly installed government sent the army to quell protests. The army refused to follow the new regime's orders to fire on civilian protesters. Some units even joined the protests. With the army proving itself unreliable, the U.S.-installed Kyiv regime incorporated neo-Nazi militias into official Ukrainian government armed forces, entrusted to perform the tasks that [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and Kyiv wanted. On May 17, 2014, the International Observatory of Ukrainian Crisis posted:
{{quotebox-float|“Reporting that militants of neo-nazi “[[Right Sector]]” have murdered a group of soldiers (members of the Ukrainian army) near Kramatorkaya Starovavarke (Kramatorsk)...The soldiers [of Ukraine’s army in Kramatorsk] didn’t want to kill civilians.

And just because they didn’t want to kill civilians!!!”<ref>https://archive.ph/BG5xK</ref>}}
A general rebellion against the illegal coup broke out. In September 2014, Amnesty International noted the failure of the Kyiv regime to deal with war crimes in the Donbas committed by neo-Nazi militias:
{{quotebox-float|“The failure to stop abuses and possible [[war crimes]] by volunteer battalions risks significantly aggravating tensions in the east of the country and undermining the proclaimed intentions of the new Ukrainian authorities to strengthen and uphold the rule of law more broadly.”<ref>https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/09/ukraine-must-stop-ongoing-abuses-and-war-crimes-pro-ukrainian-volunteer-forces/</ref>}}
When the Russian language was prohibited in Ukraine and the Ukrainian government was promoting neo-Nazi theories and practices, [[the West]] did not discourage, but rather encouraged such behavior and applauded Ukraine as a beacon of [[democracy]].

According to eyewitnesses the Maidan fascists outnumbered the anti-Kyiv protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.<ref>https://youtu.be/s-bpkx0d1fM</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond. The Maidan activists blocked the lone fire truck and wouldn't let the firefighters operate.

Some eyewitnesses claim the real number is over a hundred. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref> The Western-backed Kyiv regime covered up the atrocities, most victims being ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine.

{{quotebox-float|"After massive 1 May antifascist demonstration, the Right Sector and the Ukrainian National Socialist Organization and not just "soccer fans" converged on the city. There are numerous videos showing the Odessa junta police and the fascist paramilitaries consulting with each other and the authorities in Kiev their joint actions.

On several videos, the police and the fascist mob can be seen as working closely together--militants shooting from behind the police, the police letting them pass, etc. In the morning hours, the fascist "pro-unity" marches congregated in several central streets of Odessa, thus drawing there antifascist protesters.

It is evident that this early phase was well planned as a diversionary tactic for the main target was the Kulikovo field with the Labor Union building which was the center of nearly all antifascist manifestations in Odessa. It is also there where antifascist patriots set up their makeshift tent city. The junta felt that this needed to be cleared and that, at the same time, the protesters must be taught a harsh lesson which would break the spirit of this "hero city," a title Odessa gained with several other select cities in the [[Great Patriotic War]].

The diversion worked, and many of the young antifascist activists remained in downtown. In well synchronized and organized columns, the fascist paramilitaries then quickly regrouped and moved against their principal target--the antifascist tent city on the Kulikovo field accompanied by units of the Odessa police. Because of the successful diversion, most of the people on the Kulikovo field were middle-age and older people with many women among them. As soon as they arrived there, the militants not only started burning and destroying the tents, but they also started killing the people. They did in such a way that, for most people, the only exit left was into the Labor Union building. That was a trap.

Once they got the people inside, the fascists started throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting. However, as can be seen on the photos and videos, the fire was mainly at the main entrance and in few several rooms elsewhere. Only a smaller number of victims showed signs of being completely burned. Many of the victims died of suffocation or strangling or their upper bodies or faces were burned. Many of the victims were shot into the heads. Many were beaten to death.

This means that most of the victims were hunted and killed one by one inside the building. This killing spree given the size of the building apparently lasted over several hours and as going on even when the much delayed and very feeble response of the fire department was detected.

All this time, the Odessa police stood by and some of the police with ties to the Right Sector reportedly assisted the fascists by shooting into the people who were climbing on the windows. After several hours, the police then acted and detained ... guess who ... some 60-80 antifascist survivors who then, without food or water, were kept for many hours in the police department, and charged with multiple crimes, including murder.

The one main thing, which the police was interested most, was trying to find at least one "Russian" in the group. Alas, this did not succeed. All the victims and now detainees were Odessites (unlike may of the fascist militants). An angry crowd later that day forced their release .... which profoundly upset the Right Sector murderers. An Odessite grandmother was memorably recorded "beating" with lilacs (who used to symbolize Victory Day--lilacs blossom in May) Odessa policemen who were blocking on Saturday the Labor Union building with the corpses (most likely well over 100) still there.

Only when it was dark, the Right Sector crawled back and came back to the scene of their crime singing and shouting "glory" to themselves. Evidently, the corpses were removed soon after--during the night for today, as various videos show, people started to roam the devastated building still shocked, distraught, and upset. As expected and true to its character, the junta first blamed the victims. They allegedly caused the fire themselves and burned themselves by throwing Molotov cocktails on the peaceful pro-junta protesters.

A later modified line, repeated by Western media, was that what happened was a "tragedy," but one without a perpetrator. The one problem identified was some sort of further unspecified failing on the part of the local police. The head of the police was replaced .... with an even more over Right Sector hand.

Following a cue from Catherine Ashton, [[Yatsenyuk]], the junta's PM, then issued a call (to an unspecified addressee) for an "independent investigation." The same assembly of fascist murderous thugs was planning to hit in a similar way Kharkov. The massive outrage and mobilization appears to have stopped this or at least delayed for now.<ref>http://ai-zhilin.livejournal.com/1360753.html</ref>}}
The Kiev regime took over the investigation and reported 46 dead in the building. However, Voice of Russia reported, "The interim Ukrainian authorities are hiding from the public the true death toll in Friday's tragedy in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, which actually claimed 116 lives, a member of the Odessa regional council told RIA Novosti Monday. "According to our data, there were 116 people killed in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa. Killed, not just "dead". "We don't use the word "burned" or "suffocated", because autopsies are not being performed, since the people have bullet wounds to the head," Vadim Savenko said.<ref>https://archive.fo/wip/Bt0JC</ref>

Luc Michel cites [[Oleg Tsarev]]: "We believe that in the House of Unions there are more than 100 corpses. The police let nobody in so that the corpses are not counted. We know exactly there are there minor children. We are sure that those in power will do everything possible to conceal the traces of this horrible crime. We want to conduct an investigation and prosecute those responsible for this crime, he told RIA Novosti."<ref>http://www.lucmichel.net/2014/05/07/lucmichel-net-what-hides-kiev-on-the-massacre-of-odessa-more-than-100-dead-children-victims-raped-before-their-death/</ref>

The Maidan regime adopted a policy of ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking people in the Donbas region shortly after the [[Obama administration]] installed it in power in 2014.

During the U.S.-backed Maidan coup many inhabitants of the Donbas wanted to join Russia. In April 2014 the government building of Donetsk was occupied by separatist resistance fighters.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26910210</ref> On April 7, 2014, the resistance declared the independent "Republic of Donetsk".<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/07/ukraine-officer-shot-dead-russian-soldier-crimea</ref> It was only recognized by [[South Ossetia]].<ref>http://itar-tass.com/en/world/738110</ref> Since 2014 the Ukrainian government tried to regain the city.

===Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with the Russian Federation and Donbas Republics===
To provide a legal framework for Russian military support to Donetsk and Lugansk the Russian President Vladimir Putin had signed [[executive order]]s to recognize the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic as independent states:
{{quotebox-float|"In this regard, I consider it necessary to take a long overdue decision and to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic.

According to a [[Spetsnaz]] source, Russian forces recovered a nuclear dirty bomb that was brought into Ukraine from the West at Gostomel outside of Kiev in March 2022. So-called "armour piercing shells," as they are commonly referred to in the United States, in its media, and in Congressional committees, is actually a battlefield [[nuclear weapon]] that uses [[depleted uranium]].

The detachment of US Navy ships led by the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge announced the completion of work in the area of the alleged sabotage on gas pipelines. US ships completed their tasks in the Baltic Sea and were spotted heading to the Baltic Straits into the North Sea.

With the approval of the four treaties of accession to the Russian Federation by the Russian State Duma, the Special Military Operation came to an end and the four new territories came under the protective defense of the Russian nuclear umbrella. With the incorporation four new Republics into the Federation, Russia found itself under conditions that Russian Military Doctrine describes as the "massive use by the enemy of modern and advanced combat weapons" flooded into Ukraine by the Western powers NATO bloc.<ref>https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2000-05/russias-military-doctrine</ref>

Vladimir Putin set forth a claim under the doctrine of 'anticipatory collective self-defense', devised originally by the [[Clinton administration]] and NATO in regard to the 1998 [[Kosovo]] conflict,<ref>https://youtu.be/rsSB_2RShBQ</ref> as it applies to Article 51 of the [[United Nations Charter]].<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/29/russia-ukraine-the-law-of-war-crime-of-aggression/</ref> The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by [[the West]]'s successful demands for Kosovo to be recognized as independent from [[Serbia]], and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.<ref>https://www.icj-cij.org/en/case/141</ref>

The Organization of World Peace reported in 2021, “according to Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021, Ukraine has committed to putting all options on the table to taking back control over the Russian annexed Crimea region. Signed on March 24th, President Zelensky has committed the country to pursue strategies that . . . ‘will prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the peninsula.’”<ref>https://theowp.org/ukraine-declares-all-options-possible-even-war-to-retake-crimea-from-russia/</ref> Given that the residents of Crimea, most of whom are ethnic Russians, are quite happy with the current state of affairs under Russian governance – this, according to a 2020 ''[[Washington Post]]'' report – Zelensky’s threat in this regard was not only a threat against Russia itself but was also a threat of potentially massive bloodshed against a people who do not want to go back to Ukraine.<ref>https://archive.ph/5s7Cd</ref> The Donbas war represents a much more compelling case for justifying Russian intervention under the ''Responsibility to Protect'' (R2P) doctrine which has been advocated by such Western ‘humanitarians’ as [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Samantha Power]], and [[Susan Rice]], and which was relied upon to justify the NATO interventions in countries like the former [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Libya]].

On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin addressed the nation and made clear the objective of the [[Special Military Operation]] in Ukraine was not [[regime change]]:
{{quotebox-float|"The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and [[genocide]] perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.

===Diplomacy===

During the night of February 25–26, 2022 Volodymyr Zelensky sent a ceasefire proposal to Russia via the [[Chinese]] embassy in Kyiv. The [[Kremlin]] immediately responded by setting out its conditions:<ref>https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/zelensky-prepared-to-surrender/</ref>
*arrest of all Nazis ([[Dmitro Yarosh]] and the [[Azov Battalion]], etc.)
*removal of all street names and destruction of monuments glorifying Nazi collaborators during the [[Second World War]] ([[Stepan Bandera]], etc.),
*laying down of weapons.

''Bloomberg News,'' reported: “The US-led drive to isolate Russia through sanctions has not succeeded, as half the countries in the Group of Twenty leading global economies refused to sign on...Senior officials from leading Western nations are surprised by the lack of support within the wider G20, despite their efforts to make the case for restrictions against Russia...[[Argentina]], [[Brazil]], China, India, [[Indonesia]], Mexico, [[Saudi Arabia]], [[South Africa]], and Turkey have not joined the sanctions that were adopted by the US, UK, EU, and their allies Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea...Some nations, like China and South Africa, have openly criticized the restrictions…The G20 nations account for around 85% of global economic output”.<ref>https://archive.ph/Aan9A</ref>

{{quotebox-float|"if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not.

On August 4, 2022, Director General Fu Cong of the Chinese Foreign Ministry proposed, “The United States should withdraw all its [[nuclear weapon]]s from Europe and refrain from deploying nuclear weapons in any other region."

In August 2022 reports surfaced of a meeting between Lithuanian and Polish officials to discuss creating a Belarussian government-in-exile after the disputed 2020 presidential election.

On August 19, 2022 ''Zerohedge'' reported:
{{quotebox-float|"The western world is about to stop waging some bizarro war against Vladimir Putin that has sparked loathed energy [[hyperinflation]] across most of Europe, and is about to embrace the Russian leader, behind closed doors of course, even if it means a terribly vexxed [[Zelenskyy]] and US [[deep state]].

Why? Because "pariah" Vladimir Putin is about to re-emerge on the [[G20]] scene again, this time courtesy of [[Indonesia]]n President Joko Widodo, who today said that both Putin and China's president Xi both plan to attend the G20 summit in the resort island of [[Bali]] later this year.

“[[Xi Jinping]] will come. President Putin has also told me he will come,” Jokowi, as the president is known, said in an interview with ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on Thursday. It was the first time the leader of the world’s fourth-most populous nation confirmed both of them were planning to show up at the November summit, according to ''Bloomberg''.

Needless to say, the presence of Xi and Putin at the meeting will set up a showdown with the deep state handlers who control Joe Biden's teleprompter and other, less [[senile]] "western" leaders, all of whom are set to meet in person for the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The attack has left the G-20 divided over whether to place sanctions on Russia, because while a handful of G-20 countries are relatively self reliant, most are desperate for Russia's [[commodity]] [[export]]s, whose lack has sent European energy prices to... well, just look for yourselves.

Putin and Jokowi discussed preparations for the G-20 summit in Bali in a phone call Thursday, the [[Kremlin]] said in a statement that didn’t mention whether the Russian leader will attend. Putin’s attendance will also likely bring him face to face with [[Volodymyr Zelenskiy]] for the first time since Russia’s invasion because for some odd reason the Ukrainian president - who also doubles as a [[Vogue magazine|''Vogue'' model]] - is also slated to be in Bali."<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-will-attend-g20-summit-indonesia-despite-us-demands-exclude-russian-leader</ref>}}
Why Ukraine would be invited to attend a G20 Summit is a mystery to many people; Ukraine is nowhere near in size to a G20 economy. Prior to Ukraine's economy shrinking by an estimated 50% as a result of the war, it ranked No. 125 in size of 195.

On August 23, 2022, Zelensky told Donetsk President Denis Pushilin that if [[denazification]] trials of Azov Battalion war criminals went forward, there would be no ceasefire negotiations.

In addition to the Zelensky's regimes sheeling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and nuclear blackmail, the murder of Russian journalist and political scientist Darya Dugina in a Moscow car bombing was discussed during an emergency meeting of the [[United Nations Security Council]] on August 24, 2022. Russian investigators established the killing as an act of terrorism by the Security Service of Ukraine. Ukrainian Ambassador Petro Vrublevskyi told an interviewer on August 21, 2022, immediately after the bombing, "We are trying to kill as many of them [Russians] as possible. The more Russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to kill," according to ''[[Yahoo News]]''.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/trying-kill-many-them-possible-085433987.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall</ref>

On September 15, 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] warned, "Should Washington decide to supply longer-range missiles to Kiev, by doing so it will cross a red line and become a direct party to the conflict.

White House national security spokesman and Ukrainian troll bot John Kirby
waked back Biden's comments, saying they were not based on any specific new information. Kirby said Biden's "comments were not based on new or fresh intelligence or new indications that Mr. Putin has made a decision to use nuclear weapons."<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bidens-warning-nuclear-armageddon-reflects-stakes-russia-imminent/story?id=91211670</ref>

After visiting with NATO boss Stoltenberg, Ukrainian Defense Minister [[Alexey Reznikov]] wrote on Twitter that the long-standing cooperation between Ukraine and NATO makes it possible to say that the country has ''de facto'' become a member of the North Atlantic alliance.<ref>https://tass.com/world/1522041</ref><ref>https://congressionalpost.com/ukraine-is-now-a-de-facto-member-of-nato/</ref>

After French President Emmanuel Macron, a NATO ally, pledged not to use nuclear weapons in a confrontation with Russia, UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace, a NATO ally, publicly scolded Macron for revealing his hand.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/britain-scolds-macron-for-revealing-his-hand-in-nuclear-war-of-words-with-putin/ar-AA12VxnJ</ref>

On October 13, 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference:
{{quotebox-float|"We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in [[Istanbul]]. These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.

This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.

Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.

We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the [[Soviet Union]] and are now in Russia."}}
In a move to further escalate the conflict, EU foreign ministers assented to start a military training program for 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers at a meeting in [[Luxembourg]] on October 14, 2022. In addition to training, it was also promised to create a fund valued at 500 million euros to finance European aid to Ukraine.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/eu-unveil-ukraine-training-mission-132254462.html</ref>

In August 2022 Zelensky aid [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] told the ''[[Guardian]]'' there could be more attacks in the “next two or three months” similar to strikes on a railway junction and an airbase in Crimea, as well as a hit on Russian warplanes at Crimea's Saky aerodrome. Podolyak told the ''Guardian'' that the Kerch Strait bridge linking Crimea with the Russian mainland was a target. “It’s an illegal construction and the main gateway to supply the Russian army in Crimea.

Zelensky and Western propagandists claimed the Russians were firing on themselves to create a nuclear hazard.<ref>https://youtu.be/b28sN1tcbgI</ref>]]
On July 12, 2022, the AFU targeted the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) located in the town of Energodar. Russian forces have been in control of the plant, with Ukrainian technicians still operating it, since February 2022. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The attack was complex, involving drone and artillery fire. The Ukrainian Army used six kamikaze drones conducting reconnaissance mission over the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the city heating and water supply plant in Energodar. The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) dropped two mines near the power plant, which reportedly did not cause any significant damage. Another drone was heading in the direction of residential buildings in Energodar, its course may have been corrected. The UAV attack was thwarted, none of the six drones reached their targets, and the air defense of the Zaporozhye region successfully prevented the attack. The Ukrainians earlier launched a false flag attack against the plant in March 2022.

On July 18, 2022, Ukraine again attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this time with three kamikaze drones.<ref>https://youtu.be/S7lEXNC_O80</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/OkuFVXm1V25q/</ref>

Beginning on August 5, 2022, the 44th brigade of the AFU stationed in Nikopol, 18 kilometers across the [[Dnieper River]], increased shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant with US [[M777 Howitzer]]s. Kiev forces used a British-made Brimstone missile in one of the attacks. The situation was compounded by [[HIMAR]] attacks on the hydroelectric plant at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which provides electricity for the nuclear plant's vital cooling system. The political motive for shelling a nuclear power is reported to be motivated by upcoming referendums in September 2022 for the former Ukrainian oblasts of Zaporozhye and Kherson to join the Russian Federation. The Kyiv regime is attempting to intimidate the local population. Russia asked the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] to look into the matter. Sources on the scene familiar with the matter claimed Zelensky's shelling of the nuclear power plant was an effort to [[blackmail]] the Western powers for more military aid and financial support.<ref>https://tsarizm.com/news/eastern-europe/2022/08/22/source-ukrainian-troops-shelling-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-to-blackmail-west-for-military-aid/</ref>

By August 19, 2022, the town of Ugledar (pop. 15,000) came under Russian operational tactical encirclement, opening the door for operations behind the entire AFU Zaporozhye line.

On August 26, 2022, on the ground reports appeared of Zelensky ordering 1,000 Ukrainian troops with radiological protective gear to the Dnieper River across from the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.<ref>https://youtu.be/hWdIxRLryO0</ref>

On August 29, 2022, Ukrainian artillery fire began targeting a storage facility for nuclear waste.

At about 6 AM Moscow time on September 1, 2022, Ukrainian troops freshly trained in the [[United Kingdom]] landed on the coast of the reservoir three kilometers northeast of the Zororozhye nuclear power plant in two sabotage groups of 64 people in seven boats and attempted to seize the power plant, according to the Russian defense ministry. The provocation was aimed at disrupting the arrival of the IAEA working group at the Zororozhye nuclear power plant. Four Ukrainian shells exploded during the shelling at a distance of 400 meters from the first power unit of the Zororozhye power plant.

Russian intelligence was fully aware of the plans and had monitored the commandos from the time they left their training in the UK and crossed from Poland into Ukraine.

On September 2, 2022, a US-made Switchblade loitering drone crashed near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

On September 25, 2022, the Kiev regime again attacked the Zaporozhye NPP. Eight U.S. kamikaze UAVs targeted the station, but all were shot down by Russian forces. About 60 shells were also fired at the city of Energodar.

On October 16, 2022, NATO/Ukrainian forces attempted their fourth amphibious landing assault across the Dnieper river to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant. The Russian army destroyed the Ukrainian landing force, which was trying to carry out the attack on barges and speedboats.<ref>https://youtu.be/kTwDBfUMEmo</ref>

==Response to NATO interference: partial mobilization==

In a morning television address to the nation on September 21, 2022, address, Vladimir Putin announced a partial [[mobilization]] of military reserves:
{{quotebox-float|"In this situation, I consider it necessary to take the following decisions, they are fully adequate to the threats we face. Namely: to protect our Motherland, its [[sovereignty]] and territorial integrity, to ensure the security of our people and people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff on conducting partial mobilization in the Russian Federation....Only citizens who are currently in the reserve and, above all, those who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience will be subject to conscription for military service. Those called up for military service before being sent to the units will necessarily undergo additional military training taking into account the experience of a special military operation.}}
Additionally all military service contracts currently in force (usually 3 to 12 months) are extended indefinitely. Putin said that the current conflict was instigated by the West, noting that the Western countries seek the destruction and disintegration of Russia. He said that the West had been supporting international terrorists, promoted the infrastructure of the NATO offensive close to Russia's borders and fostered Russophobia.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said:
{{quotebox-float|"In reality, we are fighting the [[collective West]] plus NATO. When we speak about it, we mean not only the weapons being supplied [to Kiev] in huge batches, but also about systems of communication and information processing systems.}}
The Western states as well as NATO, Shoigu said, are supplying Kiev with "huge" amounts of weapons. Shoigu said that 300,000 reservist will be mobilized. People who served in the past 10 years, or with combat experience in the [[Syrian war]], Africa, [[Republic of Georgia|Georgia]] or [[Chechen wars]] will be given preference.<ref>https://youtu.be/LmXyaRGFW00</ref> Conscripts and people currently in post-secondary education will not be sent to Ukraine. He also said that, so far, 5,937 Russian soldiers have died during the war in Ukraine. (This number does not include the militia of the DPR and LPR, or the [[Wagner group]], who have done most of the frontline work and thus have had higher losses.) Shoigu puts Ukrainian losses at some 62,000 killed and some 50,000 wounded.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20220921/shoigu-russia-at-war-with-collective-west-rather-than-ukraine-1101029246.html</ref> Russia's total military reserve, people who have previously gone through military training, is 25 million.<ref>https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/1572480191108104193</ref> It also has the equipment to arm those forces. Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev was put in full command of the special operation and his predecessor General Dmitry Bulgakov was moved to chief of staff of Logistics in charge of the supply of Russian troops stationed in Syria.

Chechnen head of the Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, claimed that the mobilization in the region already “exceeded by 254%”, even before the announcement of partial mobilization." Kadyrov added, there is a reserve of thousands of volunteers in Chechnya, “who, if necessary, will be able to join the ranks of defenders of Russia.”

Belarus also announced that it is in the process of getting ready for war. Belarus could, as it had threatened before, cut of the supply lines from Poland, NATO, and the West into the western part of Ukraine.

Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky told [[CBS News]] on ''[[Face the Nation]]'', "I don't think Putin is bluffing."<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/volodymyr-zelenskyy-vladimir-putin-ukraine-russia-nuclear-weapons-face-the-nation/</ref>

U.S. analyst Scott Ritter observed:
{{quotebox-float|"The U.S. and its allies in the “collective West” now have to decide if the continued pursuit of a decades-long policy of isolating and destroying Russia is a matter of existential importance to them, and if the continued support of a Ukrainian government that is little more than the modern-day manifestation of the hateful ideology of [[Stepan Bandera]] is worth the lives of their respective citizenry, and that of the rest of the world."<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/22/scott-ritter-reaping-the-whirlwind/</ref>}}

'''Tommy Robinson''' is the pseudonym of '''Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon''' (born November 27, 1982), the [[United Kingdom|British]] activist who co-founded and served as spokesman and leader of the [[English Defence League]] (EDL), from which he resigned in 2013.

Anthony Fauci

2024-07-18T17:25:02Z

Tumelo:

[[File:Cartoon Fauci speaking to Bill Clinton.jpg|500px|right|thumb|Fauci gushes with Bill Clinton while at the NIH in 1995]]
<center>''See also [[The Real Anthony Fauci]].''</center>
'''Anthony Stephen Fauci, M.D.''' (b. December 24, 1940, age 83 years old) was the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (1984 to 2022), part of the [[National Institutes of Health]], and a government bureaucrat since 1983.<ref>A [[Hillary Clinton]] admirer, Fauci has held his current government position since 1983.</ref><ref>[https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/anthony-s-fauci-md-bio "Biography", NIAID]</ref> Fauci is the worst of [[scientism]] (politically distorted science) in how he:
*plays dumb about the man-made origin of [[COVID-19|Covid-19]], and misled by implying a false natural origin
*disparaged early treatment of the virus with the result that many have died who could have been saved
*misleads by over-promoting [[COVID vaccine]]s and [[remdesivir]]
*falsely pretends to "represent science" when his biased approach has led to higher mortality in the [[U.S.]] than in poorer countries.

Fauci's policies are a disastrous mixture of [[socialism]] and [[scientism]], sometimes called "'''[[Faucism]]'''," which infringes on basic freedoms while increasing government controls that have resulted in the [[U.S.]] having one of the highest rates of [[COVID-19]] mortality in the world.

Fauci's tyrannical approach to [[COVID-19]] has been a complete failure by downplaying, denying, and even allowing obstruction of early treatment which has been successful in poorer countries that have held their mortality rates far lower than in the [[U.S.]] under [[Fauci]]'s [[socialism|socialistic]] approach. In 2020, Fauci misled the public by asserting that the origin of [[COVID-19]] was from wildlife, when in fact there was no evidence for that, and in May 2021 Fauci began to backtrack by admitting the virus may be of a manmade origin as others pointed out. Confidence in Fauci's recommendations have been likened to trust in gas station sushi.<ref>https://twitter.com/gobagel/status/1453109364173070337</ref>

As head of the NIAID, Fauci doles out millions of dollars in research grants, including experiments of questionable scientific relevance on [[transgender]] monkeys and household pets.<ref>https://www.peta.org/blog/government-funded-hiv-experiment-monkeys-wont-help-transgender-women/</ref> Fauci approved a grant for [[gain of function]] research to the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) after the [[Defense Department]] had deemed the research too dangerous to proceed.<ref>https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/2mVob3c1aDd8CNvVnyei6n/95af7dbfd2958d4c2b8494048b4889b5/JAG_Docs_pt1_Og_WATERMARK_OVER_Redacted.pdf</ref> The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the [[Covid-19]] virus was a [[bioweapon]] manufactured in the WIV laboratory.<ref>https://technofog.substack.com/p/new-documents-reveal-early-beliefs</ref> As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the [[Center for Disease Control]]. Fauci's initial reaction [[Coronavirus coverup|was to cover up]] the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists outside of government
who were recipients of grant money from Fauci, who then in turn issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref> Fauci encouraged publication of hit pieces in popular and non-scientific journals on colleagues who discussed the non-natural origins of the coronavirus.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/fauci-shut-down-lab-leak-theory-despite-scientists-lending-it-credence-emails-show></ref>

Fauci is the inspiration for the Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals (FAUCI) Act, so that financial disclosures filed by government officials would be more readily available to the general public.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/gop-senator-plans-to-introduce-fauci-act-to-make-disclosures-readily-accessible_4213530.html</ref> While shuttering your business and getting you fired, Fauci made $1.7 Million on his lies.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2022/01/17/while-shuttering-your-family-business-fauci-made-1-7-million-on-his-lies/</ref>

In his [[psychotic]] imagination,<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/09/fauci_psychopath_or_narcissist.html</ref> Fauci has repeatedly made grandiose and self-delusional statements to the effect that he believes that he is the walking embodiment of truth and science.<ref>https://twitter.com/FaceTheNation/status/1465003501541597191</ref> According to [[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]] of Children's Health Defense, Fauci's many atrocities include experiments on children.<ref>

An [[italian]] by heritage, Anthony Fauci views himself as carrying on the work of [[Galileo]], standing up to the church and religion, and using science to seek truth and prove that God does not exist.

Fauci justified his decision in 2012 to provide funding to the PLA [[front group]] at the WIV for gain-of-function research, converting deadly pathogens which only bats were susceptible over to infecting humans - despite dire warnings from within the scientific community,<ref>[https://archive.is/Rb0Lb Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate.

Scientific progress was the motivating factor behind the [[Great Leap Forward]] in the late 1950s which systematically [[murder]]ed some 60 million people by violence and by government-induced economic pressures and famine. The scientific progress was intended to tear China away from its 3,000-year-old traditional culture and norms. Fauci partnered with the same political party - the Chinese Communist Party - which has never held a free election nor reformed its ideology of holding the lives of individual citizens in low regard, in his gain-of-function research.

On January 9, 2017, eleven days before Obama left office, the Obama White House lifted a ban on funding gain-of-function research and weaponization of the bat [[coronavirus]] to make it transmissible to humans at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2017/01/09/recommended-policy-guidance-potential-pandemic-pathogen-care-and-oversight</ref><ref>https://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/documents/p3co-finalguidancestatement.pdf</ref> Two days later Fauci made a presentation at Georgetown University stating that there is “no doubt” Donald J.

The risks have never been higher, and the question of his perspective on these issues has never been more dubious than it is with Donald Trump.” In December 2017 Fauci awarded the grant specifically to the Wuhan lab.<ref>https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-director/statements/nih-lifts-funding-pause-gain-function-research</ref> Nine months later [[Lisa Monaco]] announced, ''The Next Pandemic Will Be Arriving Shortly''.<ref>https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/28/the-next-pandemic-will-be-arriving-shortly-global-health-infectious-avian-flu-ebola-zoonotic-diseases-trump/</ref>

Dr. Anthony Fauci knew by mid-February 2020 that covid -19 was Chinese-manufactured in a Chinese [[PLA]] laboratory and, as the nation's top health advisor, misled the president of the United States and the American people.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/fauci-lied-and-people-died/</ref>

The evidence came out that Dr. Fauci had funded [[gain-of-function]] research on coronavirus at the [[WIV|Wuhan lab]], which was also done illegally via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and EcoHealth Alliance<ref>https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/</ref> due to [[Barack Obama]] having banned such research in the United States, which made him directly responsible for the [[coronavirus]] outbreak, with Rand Paul calling him out on it.<ref>https://nationalfile.com/watch-rand-paul-confronts-fauci-for-funding-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref> In addition, leaked audio around 2017 had him telling President Trump with certainty that he'll be facing a pandemic.<ref>https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20170111/fauci-no-doubt-trump-will-face-surprise-infectious-disease-outbreak</ref>
[[File:Letter-to-fauci-.png|left|300px|thumb|February 12, 2020: Fauci forwarded an email warning the coronavirus came from a laboratory.<ref>https://100percentfedup.com/fauci-forwards-email-warning-virus-was-released-from-wuhan-lab-to-nih-deputy-dir-with-two-word-response-please-handle/</ref>]]
A January 9, 2020, email exchange labeled “high” importance between NIAID Senior Scientific Advisor Dr. David Morens and [[Peter Daszak]] details the relationship between the Fauci agency and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-141-149/</ref>

On January 23, 2020, the day the Wuhan viral outbreak was announced to the world, a senior NIH official, Melinda Hoskins, forwarded a Daily Mail article to colleagues discussing NIH/NIAID funding of the bat virus research, and noting that Fauci would be briefing senators the following morning. Hoskins says, “Would you please confirm the exact nature of our support to the Wuhan Institute of Virology/Biosafety Lab.” <ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JW-v-HHS-NIAID-Wuhan-June-2021-00692-pgs-47-48.pdf</ref>

From 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which was headed by Fauci.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-74-75/</ref> In an April 15, 2020 email marked “high” importance, Principal Deputy Director of NIH Lawrence Tabak emailed Fauci, NIH Director Francis Collins, and other NIH officials with the subject line: “HEADS UP: Wuhan lab research.” Tabak provides details of the grant to Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, for a project titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” Tabak continues, saying, “The 3.7M dollar figure is over 6 years to all sites which include (several in) China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. We estimate that approximately $826,300 has been spent at this site since the inception of the grant. Yearly costs appear to be about 80K/year. The grant is in year 6 of a total of 10 year.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-3-4/</ref>

On January 28, 2020, Fauci was informed that the coronavirus was genetically engineered.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9646811/Fauci-dismisses-email-revelation-warned-COVID-19-engineered.html</ref> That very same day at a meeting of President Trump's Coronavirus Task Force, Fauci strenuously objectied to President Trump's travel ban of flights from [[China]].<ref>https://noqreport.com/2021/10/29/peter-navarro-drops-bombshell-about-first-time-he-met-anthony-fauci-and-how-he-cost-hundreds-of-thousands-of-lives/</ref>

On October 1, 2017, after receiving Daszak's email related to his then-unpublished paper describing detailed research into a novel bat-born virus tied to Swine Acute Diarrheal Syndrome, Fauci forwards Daszak's email and paper on to NIH official Greg Folkers, saying, “Confidential, but fyi for you.” Daszak says, “You should know that this work was supported by a NIAID ROl that [NIH’s] Erik Stemmy is the Program Officer for, and that I’m PI [principal investigator] on, with [[Zhengli Shi]] [the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of the Wuhan Institute of Virology] as co-PI.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-193-282</ref>

In an especially appalling display of arrogance, he replied to a memo explicitly warning him of how China was at best fudging the numbers of the death rate of COVID among the Chinese and at worst completely fabricated the numbers by saying "Too Long for Me to Read."<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/response-warning-covid-china-fauci-wrote-just-6-words-long-read/</ref> Fauci referred to his CCP and [[PLA]] grant recipients as "very competent, trustworthy scientists.”<ref>https://www.kennedy.senate.gov/public/2021/5/kennedy-asks-fauci-whether-wuhan-lab-lied-you-never-know</ref>

In the spring of 2020 Fauci dismissed evidence that the coronavirus came from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] laboratory, only to reverse himself after the defection of a high-level State Security minister from the [[Peoples Republic of China]] with damning evidence.<ref>https://archive.is/JsDBE#selection-271.0-275.37</ref> The denial of factual evidence by alleged scientific experts has been cited as a contributing factor to the [[2020 presidential election]] outcome.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/557783-lindsey-graham-dismissal-of-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-cost-trump-2020-election</ref>

In total, Fauci funded over 60 projects at the Wuhan lab, and never disclosed that fact to president Trump.<ref>https://youtu.be/nFoAczoHbV0</ref>

===Gain of function===
In a 2012 scientific paper, Fauci argued that the alleged benefits resulting from gain of function research outweighed the risks.<ref>https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1398286881306128402</ref> On October 17, 2014, the [[Obama administration]] announced a moratorium on gain-of-function research.<ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2014/10/17/doing-diligence-assess-risks-and-benefits-life-sciences-gain-function-research</ref> The moratorium was lifted by the Obama [[White House]] in January 2017, eleven days before President Trump was sworn into office.

In March 2018, Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) submitted a funding request to the [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA) for bat coronavirus research called Operation Defuse. It was rejected as too dangerous.<ref>https://twitter.com/VigilantFox/status/1480740626161414145</ref> DARPA gave as the reason's for rejection:<ref>https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/5OjsrkkXHfuHps6Lek1MO0/5e7a0d86d5d67e8d153555400d9dcd17/defuse-project-rejection-by-darpa.pdf</ref>
{{quotebox-float|''DRASTIC independently assesses that the tone of the proposal (see for instance the ‘our cave complex’) and the deep suggested involvement of some of the WIV parties ([[Shi Zheng Li]] employed half-time for 3 years - paid via the grant - and invited to DARPA headquarters at [[Arlington, Virginia|Arlington]]), may not have helped either - especially in the absence of any DURC [Duel Use Research of Concern] risk mitigation program.''

''It is clear that the proposed DEFUSE project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk by failing to consider the following issues:''

- Gain of Function

- Dual Use Research of Concern

- Vaccine epitope coverage

- Regulatory requirements

- ELSI (ethical, legal, and social issues)

- Data Usage}}
[[File:Govt Advisors SHRED Documents Detailing Fauci Obama-Era Work With Wuhan Lab.PNG|right|275px|thumb|In February 2022 it was reported that government advisors shredded documents detailing the Obama administration's work with the Wuhan Lab.]]
Fauci however, cast aside the [[Pentagon]]'s concerns and picked up the project, funding to be continued at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and in [[North Carolina]]. Fauci's reasoning was that the probability of a pandemic arising in nature was greater than a viral pathogen escaping from a lab, or his trusted communist partners in the [[Peoples Liberation Army]] using it as an offensive biological weapon.<ref>https://youtu.be/_Rt_dcAh8JI</ref>

===Covid coverup===

According to government documents obtained by a legal watchdog organization, Fauci knew, the Chinese
were withholding COVID-19 data,<ref>Isabel van Brugen, "[https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-agency-knew-chinese-authorities-were-withholding-covid-19-data-in-january-2020-documents-show_4313524.html Fauci Agency Knew Chinese Authorities Were Withholding COVID-19 Data in January 2020, Documents Show]", ''Epoch Fimes'', 2 March 2022.</ref>

In fact, Fauci was told in a secret teleconference on February 1, 2020, that the COVID-19 virus very likely leaked from a laboratory in China. After the teleconference, however, Fauci and his associates began pushing an alternate narrative, instead claiming the virus was of natural origin, and the researchers who informed him and others of the likely lab leak also changed their narrative to align with Fauci, despite their own documented statements saying otherwise.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-knew-about-virus-lab-origin-from-secret-teleconference-jeff-carlson-and-hans-mahncke_4248579.html</ref>

The National Institutes of Health repeatedly failed to comply with congressional requests for documents related to its involvement with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, instead forcing agency personnel to “shred notes and other documents” referencing the Chinese Communist Party-run lab and its work with the U.S. government during the [[Obama administration]]. Members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform wrote a to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commissar [[Xavier Becerra]] urging the release of the documents. The letter reveals that an NIH advisor was “forced by NIH to shred notes and other documents pertaining to the WIV grants as early as 2014.” An email from an individual, whose name has been redacted, to a committee staff member on November 5, 2021, revealed the following:
{{quotebox-float|“I signed a confidentiality agreement in which I agreed not to discuss any grant with anyone except with other members of the study section, and – once the meeting was over – that I would destroy any notes that I had taken during the meeting (we did this by tossing them in shred box in the meeting room)).”}}
The letter outlines how, “to date, HHS and NIH have refused to produce any responsive documents or information.” The congressional committee requested documents from former NIH Director Francis Collins surrounding a 2014, Obama-era grant awarded from Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to EcoHealth Alliance and the WIV in May and July 2021. Despite committee staff repeatedly amending their requests, making them broader in scope and easier for the agency to fulfill, both agencies refused to turn over any documents.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/16/nih-refuses-to-comply-with-congressional-doc-request/</ref>

===Fauci under oath===
[[File:Arrest Fauci.PNG|right|275px|thumb|[[Twitter]] CEO [[Elon Musk]] posted, "My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci."<ref>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1601894132573605888</ref>]]
In Congressional testimony,<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/20/senator-rand-paul-confronts-a-very-nervous-and-lying-dr-anthony-fauci/</ref> Fauci attempted to parse the term "gain-of-function," and was threatened with [[prosecution]] for lying to Congress.<ref>https://www.viralnigeria.com.ng/rand-paul-to-make-criminal-referral-to-doj-after-accusing-fauci-of-lying-to-congress-regarding-gain-of-function-virus-research/</ref> Dr. Roger Ebright, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at [[Rutgers University]] and biosafety expert, contested Fauci's testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Fauci's claim that “the NIH [National Institutes of Health] has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV]” is “demonstrably false.”<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/biosafety-expert-explains-why-fauci-140753796.html Biosafety Expert Explains Why Fauci’s NIH ‘Gain-of-Function’ Testimony Was ‘Demonstrably False’, Yahoo News]</ref> The research can be classified as gain-of-function under a number of different definitions, including those found in two pieces of Department of Health and Human Services guidance on the subject.

The work being conducted at the WIV, using NIH funds originally granted to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, “epitomizes” gain-of-function research under the definition HHS provided in its guidance, and is the exact kind of research that led the Obama administration to conclude that gain-of-function was too dangerous to continue domestically.

Ebright said, "The Wuhan lab used NIH funding to construct novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and laboratory animals...This is high-risk research that creates new potential pandemic pathogens (i.e., potential pandemic [[pathogen]]s that exist only in a lab, not in nature). This research matches — indeed epitomizes — the definition of ‘gain of function research of concern’ for which federal funding was ‘paused’ in 2014–2017.” Chimeric coronaviruses refers to those that have been altered and enhanced by man, in this case in such a way as to make them more transmissible and dangerous to humans.

The paper drafted by WIV scientists, ''Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus'' by [[Zheng-Li Shi]] and others,<ref>https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698#abstract0</ref> clearly states that the underlying research was funded by, among other entities, the National Institutes of Health. The NIH’s own database of grantees lists this research and confirms that over $660,000 was spent supporting it.

By October, 2021 calls for Fauci to be removed, increased.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Allott|first=Daniel|date=2021-10-26|title=It's time for Fauci to go — but don't expect it to happen|url=https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/578436-its-time-for-fauci-to-go-but-dont-expect-it-to-happen|access-date=2021-10-28|website=TheHill|language=en}}</ref>

===International Criminal Court complaint===
[[File:Fauci3.JPG|right|275px|thumb|Fauci. "To attack me is to attack [[science]]"]]
In December 2021 a complaint was filed with the Prosecutor of the [[International Criminal Court]] naming Fauci, Peter Daszak, Bill Gates, [[Klaus Schwab]], [[Boris Johnson]] and various other international figures by a team of experts in [[UK]]. The complaint argues that “based on the extensive claims and enclosed documentation, we charge those responsible for numerous violations of the [[Nuremberg Code]], crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression in the United Kingdom, but not limited to individuals in these countries”. The applicants state that “It is our intention to present to you and detail how, in the United Kingdom this year, the Government of the United Kingdom, with its Ministers and senior officials have violated the Nuremberg Code not only in a single aspect but in many aspects”.

The UK team which filed the complaint is represented by attorney Hannah Rose, with co-applicants including Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former vice-president and Chief Scientist of allergy and respiratory research at [[Pfizer]] respiratory pharmacology, former vice president and Chief Scientist of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer and others.<ref>https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/10/uk-team-file-complaint-of-crimes-against-humanity-with-the-international-criminal-court/</ref>

==U.S. covid pandemic==
Fauci told [[Jake Tapper]] of CNN in February 2020 that fifteen to twenty percent of those who contracted the [[CCP virus]] would require hospitalization. In March 2020, he said: “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” [[Kim Kardashian]] invited Fauci to address a private Zoom call of thirty-seven [[Hollywood values|Hollywood celebrity]] friends so they could ask him about quarantine measures.<ref>https://thelampmagazine.com/2021/04/30/doctor-who/</ref> Fauci had a Google Alert set up to send news articles about himself directly to his government email address. Any news article that mentioned the words “Anthony Fauci” or “Tony Fauci” was delivered straight to Fauci's inbox.<ref>https://dossier.substack.com/p/megalomaniac-fauci-has-every-article</ref> Fauci told President Trump that millions of Americans would die if the U.S. did not implement draconian [[lockdown]]s.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/03/15/sotu-fauci-millions.cnn</ref>

Fauci took the rather unscientific view of criticizing the inexpensive [[hydroxychloroquine]] approved decades ago for off-the-shelf use by humans, despite numerous studies indicating its effectiveness as a treatment or prophylaxis for [[COVID-19]]. Instead, Fauci promoted expensive alternatives promoted by Big Pharma but lacking in any proven significant benefits.

Fauci encouraged vaccinated individuals to avoid unvaccinated relatives during the 2021 [[Christmas]] holidays, so that people supposedly immunized by the vaccine would be protected from catching the virus from unvaccinated people.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/12/21/anthony-fauci-says-unvaxxed-relatives-not-worthy-enough-to-attend-family-christmas-gatherings/</ref>

===Zuckerbucks===
{{See also|Democrat election fraud}}

The [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (CTCL) is a group organized by [[Obama]] operatives and funded by [[Mark Zuckerberg]] to promote [[Democrat election fraud]].<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/how-mark-zuckerbergs-350-million-threatens-democracy</ref><ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/07/what-is-mark-zuckerbergs-election-money-doing-in-georgia/</ref> Zuckerberg funneled more than $400 million in election fraud efforts, $350 million was siphoned through the CTCL.

CTCL distributed hundreds of millions in “[[Zuckerbucks]]” to thousands of election jurisdictions in 48 states and [[Washington, D.C.]]. These funds were pitched as “COVID-19 response grants” supposedly intended to assist election officials in the safe conduct of elections. However, the infusion of CTCL funds into Democrat-leaning jurisdictions influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Much of the Zuckerbucks were not spent on COVID-19 related expenses—with states reporting expenditures on advertising, vehicle purchases, registering teenagers to vote, and other non- COVID-related items.

Zuckerberg money to [[CTCL]] was laundered through the [[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative]] (CZI) controlled by Zuckerberg and his wife. Chan Zuckerberg also gave $433,000 to Ralph Baric,<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/facebook-czi-funds-controversial-wuhan-researcher/</ref> who was described by [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology as her “longtime collaborator” on gain-of-function research on the bat coronavirus.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/wuhan-lab-partner-scheming-on-pandemic-profits/</ref> Baric also received funding from Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Health (NIH).

Fauci admitted that Mark Zuckerberg offered him “resources and money” at the time same Zuckerberg was plowing cash into interfering in the 2020 presidential election on behalf of Democrats.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/news/fauci-reveals-what-was-redacted-in-his-zuckerberg-emails/</ref>

===Racist vaccine mandates===
{{See also|Systemic racism}}

Fauci has been criticized for the Biden regime's racist vaccine mandates.<ref>https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2021/04/01/welcome-new-jim-crow-vaccine-passports-racist-n381478</ref><ref>https://www.aier.org/article/fauci-was-duplicitous-on-the-aids-epidemic-too/</ref> Rapper [[Nicki Minaj]] had been invited to the [[White House]] to speak with Anthony Fauci and the [[Surgeon General]] after expressing covid vaccine skepticism. As [[leftist]] [[bigot]]s attacked her for expressing skepticism, the White House denied an invitation was extended in an effort to discredit her before her 200 million-plus followers. Minaj supporters came out in droves to march on the CDC's Atlanta headquarters chanting "Nicki told the truth to me! [[Fauci]] lied to me!" about [[COVID]] vaccines.<ref>https://pagesix.com/2021/09/17/nicki-minaj-fans-chat-at-cdc-hq-that-star-told-the-truth-on-vaccines/</ref><ref>https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/bia-defends-nicki-minaj-stop-listening-to-the-government-and-media-news.139413.html</ref>

The group that organized the protests invited Trump supporters to join them. The protest was set up by the Black Hammer Organization's [[commander-in-chief]] Gazi Kodzo, who told the ''[[Gateway Pundit]]'' about how they hope to put political differences aside to fight together against [[Biden's vaccine mandate|Biden's racist vaccine mandates]]. Kodzo told the ''Gateway Pundit'' that “this is such a human issue that we can’t let things that used to separate us continue to separate us. A real core value of our humanity is literally being ripped from us — the ability to say what goes inside of our bodies.”<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/09/exclusive-group-protested-cdc-support-nicki-minaj-invites-trump-supporters-join-demonstration-friday-cdc-headquarters-says-cdc-employees-threw-things/</ref> “If we do not make that choice that [[Biden junta|this administration]] tells us to make, we are no longer capable of working,” Kodzo continued. He said that he is willing to stand with “anyone who is willing to go side by side with me to fight for that core value.”

Kodzo said that while his group wears masks, he does not understand why people get mad at those who choose not to. He pointed out that Fauci had originally said that masks do not work, but keeps changing his story. “Fauci never went back and said, ‘you know what? I was wrong.’ If Fauci had to go on TV and tell everyone each time he was wrong, he wouldn't be ‘America’s Doctor’ anymore.” Kodzo asserted that these days, it seems like the unelected Dr. Fauci is the one who is actually running this country and calling all the shots. He also noted that the doctor had originally claimed that there would not be any kind of vaccine mandate placed upon the American people, which was obviously untrue. “Ever since Joe Biden has been ‘the president’ he has been a puppet for whatever Fauci says. Dr. Fauci is the freaking president. I don't know what [[Kamala]] is doing, every time you ask her a question she's just giggling,” Kodzo said, adding that every issue she tries to fix she just seems to make it worse.

==Fauci, Daszak and Hunter Biden==

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) held a conference, "Healthy People, Healthy Ecosystems," from April 7–9, 2017 in Washington, D.C. In its description of the event, CUGH notes that the conference supports its vision for a “world without borders”:
{{Cquote|CUGH believes in a world [[open borders|without borders]], because the desire for health and well-being is universal and doesn’t change based on race, ethnicity, national, socioeconomic status, [[sexual identity]], or geographic location.}}
[[File:ACE2 receptor.png|right|300px|thumb|Part of a slide presentation made by Peter Daszak at the CUGH conference, April 2017.<ref>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ltnwcnugf3ykh4u/AADjaaC1-lgsReoYxlGV5srQa?dl=0&preview=PS09_Daszak.pdf</ref>]]
Fauci appeared on a panel alongside Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance and Principal Deputy Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Anne Schuchat, Natalie Winters of ''The National Pulse'' reported.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/peter-daszak-admits-china-coronavirus-work-funded-by-nih/</ref> The three individuals participated in a panel – “Future of Infectious Disease Pandemics: From Ebola to Zika, and Beyond” – where they discussed pandemic preparedness. “Although much is known about how to detect and respond to existing infections, more research is needed to predict the likelihood of their emergence and spread, and to improve the precision and timeliness of public health responsiveness,” notes the panel description.
[[File:RSTP.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden financed a company that partnered with Peter Daszak and the Wuhan lab.]]
During Daszak's presentation, given with an accompanying slideshow, he states his coronavirus work in China was carried out with “funding” from Fauci's NIAID along with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) program: “Working with the USAID EPT PREDICT Program and funding through NIAID to work on coronaviruses in China, we were able to test out this idea of predicting what the next emerging diseases might be. So we’ve all heard of SARS. We know that SARS is carried by civets. Well, actually, the host of SARS-like viruses, the viruses that the [[SARS-CoVid-1|SARS]] coronavirus emerged from are bats....We worked in China to go out and do surveillance in other bat species and say how many other SARS-like viruses are there. Is there something even close to SARS? And sure enough, there was."

“Even the international grants, the bulk of those funds go through U.S. organizations like ours before we send any abroad,” Daszak answers in response to a question about federal funding posed by Cornell Medicine's Oliver Fein, who asserts “the worst virus that we presently have is the [[Trump administration]].”

During the panel, Schuchat, a CDC official, also praised the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) response to China's first SARS outbreak:
[[File:Hunter Biden with meth pipe.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden and the [[Biden family]] are co-investors in one of Fauci's schemes.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/kevindowneyjr/2021/06/28/breaking-hunter-bidens-firm-funded-company-that-partnered-with-wuhan-bat-research-n1457874</ref>]]
“A key lesson was that cover-ups are not worth it. You may recall the Minister of Health and the Mayor of Beijing were both removed during the SARS epidemic and that being transparent and open with your situation is a lot better....[[Beijing]] did an incredible job of responding once the political level let them respond. They took over the healthcare system.”

Another panel at the event – “The Global Virome Project: A First Step Toward Ending the Pandemic Era” – featured Daszak and the Chief Scientific Officer of [[Metabiota]], a pandemic tracking and response firm whose lead financial backer was a [[Hunter Biden]]-led investment group. Biden served as managing director of [[Rosemont Seneca]] Technology Partners (RSTP), which led the company's first round of funding worth $30 million.

The panel summary predicts declared that “The frequency of pandemics is increasing, driven by surging populations, environmental change and globalized trade and travel. Disease outbreaks illustrate that we are ill-prepared to mitigate the impact of a novel virus or prevent its emergence. Only a small proportion of viral threats have been identified. Over the coming century we will witness spillover from a pool of more than 1,000,000 “unknown” viruses into human populations. A global initiative to identify and characterize every significant viral threat circulating in the world is achievable over the next ten years – a critical and essential step towards ending the pandemic era.”

==Fauci collusion with Bill Gates==
[[File:Gates & Tedros.jpg|thumbnail|200px|left|Bill Gates with [[CCP]] puppet and head of the [[WHO]] [[Tedros Adhanom]].<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/who-chief-tedros-has-got-to-go/</ref>]]
Scientists first attempted to develop coronavirus vaccines after China's 2002 [[SARS-CoV-1]] outbreak. Teams of US & foreign scientists vaccinated animals with the four most promising vaccines. At first, the experiment seemed successful as all the animals developed a robust [[antibody]] response to coronavirus. However, when the scientists exposed the vaccinated animals to the wild virus, the results were horrifying. Vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses including inflammation throughout their bodies, especially in their lungs. Researchers had seen this same “enhanced immune response” during [[human]] testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1960s. Two children died.

Paul Offit, Peter Hotez, and Anthony Fauci warned that any new coronavirus vaccine could trigger lethal immune reactions “vaccine enhancement” when vaccinated people come in contact with the wild virus. Instead of proceeding with caution, Fauci has made the choice to fast track vaccines, partially funded by Gates, without critical animal studies before moving into human clinical trials that could provide early warning of runaway immune response.

[[Bill Gates]] is so worried about the danger of adverse events that he says vaccines shouldn't be distributed until governments agree to indemnity or grant legal immunity from lawsuits.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/heres-why-bill-gates-wants-indemnity-are-you-willing-to-take-the-risk/</ref>

==Vaccines for profit==

Fauci has promoted [[vaccination]] as an approach to disease, and has been criticized for favoring approaches advantageous to [[Big Pharma]]. Fauci is a patent holder who receives royalties on the sale and distribution of vaccines.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/profit-motive-hidden-from-patients/</ref> Fauci said in a [[White House]] press briefing "not particularly concerned” about the safety risk on human guinea pigs of a potential coronavirus vaccine by Moderna, despite the fact that it uses untested technology.<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/27/dr-anthony-fauci-isnt-particularly-concerned-about-safety-of-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine.html</ref>
[[File:AZT treatment.png|right|300px]]
According to the ''[[Associated Press]]'', patients who took part in clinical trials at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) had no idea that scientists at the institutes received $8.9 million in royalty payments and might benefit financially for the use of their discoveries by pharmaceutical companies and device maker. The information was not made public until the press agency obtained the information after filing a request under the [[Freedom of Information Act]]. The ''AP''reported that 916 present and former NIH researchers received annual royalty payments averaging $9700 but could receive as much as $150 000. At the same time, NIH researchers spent millions of taxpayers' dollars studying the treatments that they had developed that were licensed to drug companies. Patients said they might not have participated and undergone risks of trial treatment if they knew of scientists' had a financial interest.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC545012/</ref>

The NIH has been criticized before for not disclosing [[conflict of interest|conflicts of interest]].<ref>https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=BMJ&volume=329&publication_year=2004&pages=10&</ref>

In April 2020, three months after the Wuhan virus outbreak in the United States and days after news of Fauci's funding of Wuhan lab gain of function research on the bat coronavirus began [[leak]]ing out, Robert Kennedy, Jr. went on the Thomas Paine podcast and warned Anthony Fauci is a fraud and known inside the CDC as the man who “poisoned an entire generation of Americans”. Fauci is workplace tyrant who ruined the careers of countless physicians and researchers. Fauci has used his post for financial gain in the form of obtaining lucrative vaccine patents. Doctors and researchers underneath him who developed breakthrough technologies have been fired so that Fauci could assume ownership of their work. “Tony Fauci has many, many vaccine patents,” Kennedy contends, noting that Fauci now owns a patent on a special protein sheet made from HIV that helps to more efficiently deliver vaccine material throughout the body. Fauci didn't develop this protein sheet himself, but rather stole it from someone else who was relieved from duty after creating it. “Tony Fauci fired [this person] and he somehow ended up owning that patent,” Kennedy says. “And that patent is now being used by some of these companies … to make vaccines for the coronavirus … that company has a 50/50 split with Tony Fauci’s agency … so Fauci’s agency will collect half the royalties on that vaccine and there’s no limit for how much the agency can collect.”<ref>https://drleonardcoldwell.com/2020/04/20/anthony-fauci-is-a-fraud/</ref>

==Investment portfolio==
Anthony Fauci invested in the Chinese regime's corporate “national champions,” large Chinese companies that advance Beijing's interests and benefit from state policies. At the end of the first year of the covid pandemic Fauci had $10.4 million in investments.<ref>https://www.marshall.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Anthony-Fauci-Financial-Disclosures-for-2020-and-2019.pdf</ref> One particular fund was named the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund. The fund invested 42.7% of its investors’ capital on companies based in [[China]]. Those companies included Tencent Holdings, Alibaba Group Holdings, Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing Ltd., and WuXi Biologics Cayman.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/science/2022/01/15/anthony-faucis-10m-2020-investment-portfolio-chinese-companies/</ref>

Tencent Holdings is known for complying with the Chinese regime's censorship rules and for extending its monitoring and censorship to U.S. users of WeChat. The app has drawn scrutiny from the U.S. government over national security concerns.
[[File:Fauci net worth.png|right|400px|thumb|''Source: National Pulse.''<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/09/29/faucis-net-worth-surged-to-12-6-million-during-pandemic/</ref>]]
Alibaba, China's e-commerce and technology giant founded by billionaire tech entrepreneur Jack Ma, along with Tencent, were among several Chinese companies named in 2017 by China's Ministry of Science and Technology on the communist regime's “national team” for advancing [[artificial intelligence]].

Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ford said in 2019 that the [[PRC]]'s technology giants, including Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent, had “become deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.”

WuXi Biologics Cayman, a biopharmaceutical company listed in Hong Kong, has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. According to a 2021 article published by China's news portal NetEase, the firm was among several Chinese companies signing a partnership deal with the municipal government in Wuxi, a city near Shanghai, in forming a “Party-building alliance.” One of the things the alliance would allow the participating companies to do better would be to share information on improving the “cohesiveness and competitiveness” of their “Party organizations.”<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-invested-in-chinese-companies-with-ties-to-beijing-according-to-financial-disclosures_4217809.html</ref>

Aside from the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Fauci's 2020 investments also include Pimco's investment-grade bond fund and the Pax Ellevate Global Women's Leadership Fund.

Fauci has been accused of lying about his financial disclosures during sworn Senate testimony.<ref>https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/breaking-sen-marshall-proves-fauci-lied-by-obtaining-previously-unpublished-financial-records/</ref>

==Experiments on children==

The Fauci led NIH approved experiments on hundreds of [[New York City]] orphans.<ref>https://iccinvestigation.wordpress.com/</ref> Government agencies and pharmaceutical companies used the orphans in deadly AIDS drug trials. In 2005, the city of New York hired the VERA Institute to form a final report on the drug trials. VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008.
[[File:Monument to orphan victims.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Mass grave of victims of Fauci medical experiments on orphan children, Hawthorne New York.<ref>''[https://www.amazon.com/Real-Anthony-Fauci-Democracy-Childrens/dp/1510766804/ The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health]'', Robert F.

{{quotebox-float|"They reported that twenty-five children died during the drug studies, that an additional fifty-five children died following the studies (in foster care), and, according to Tim Ross, Director of the Child Welfare program at VERA (as of 2009), 29% of the remaining 417 children who were used in drug studies had died (out of a total 532 children that are admitted to have been used).<ref>https://archive.md/wip/B9aKW</ref>

The [[Wikipedia|WIKIPEDIA]] writers cover up all details, as is expected.

No payment or compensation has been paid to any of the children used in the trials, or to their families.}}
A hospital nurse later spoke out to reporters about the testing. She reported that children would immediately get sick, break out or throw up during the testing.
They were orphans at the Incarnation Children's Center in New York City.<ref>https://youtu.be/cyJLYPh9pxY</ref>

At least 85 orphan minority children in New York, children who were vulnerable, could not consent, and who would not be missed.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/guinea-pig-kids-faucis-legacy-of-cruel-experiments-on-children-dead-babies-and-mass-graves/</ref> These children were buried in mass graves at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, NY in Westchester County and otherwise forgotten.

These extreme claims are the subject of a new book by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., called “The Real Anthony Fauci.” In Chapter 7, Kennedy lays out “NIAID’s Barbaric and Illegal Experiments on Children”. In an interview with journalist James Corbett,<ref>https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/rfkjr-fauci720p:e</ref> Kennedy specifically explained the facts on Fauci's illegal testing on orphan children:
[[File:Excerpt from the Real Anthony Fauci.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Excerpt from ''The Real Anthony Fauci'' by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/exclusive-forgotten-monument-dead-orphans-faucis-torturous-deadly-aids-testing-located-new-york-state-heart-breaking-photos/</ref>]]
*Fauci tested harsh [[chemotherapy]] drugs on orphan children in order to determine its use for AIDS treatments in the 1980s
*Fauci got control of foster homes in 7 states
*Children were tortured to death
*Children were denied guardians and any kind of legal protector
*Children who refused to take Fauci's drugs had feeding tubes installed so drug companies could administer the drugs even when the kids fought back
*Most of the children did not have HIV/AIDS, they were just used as guinea pigs to see if they could survive the harsh drug regimen
*At least 85 kids died as part of these experiments

The graveyard where these children were thrown into a pit, filled with hundreds of coffins sometimes stuffed with multiple children, is buried under an astroturf pit in New York. In the book Kennedy refers to Fauci as America's ‘homegrown [[Joseph Mengele|Mengele]].’ These are the victims of Fauci's crimes, says Kennedy.

==Animal experiments==
[[File:Fauci animal experiment.JPG|left|300px|thumb|Fauci funded animal experiments where dogs were eaten alive by flies.]]
Fauci provided funding for a laboratory experiment where beagle puppies were drugged, their heads locked in mesh cages filled with sand flies, and the insects ate them alive. ''The Hill'' reported that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Fauci, gave part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in [[Tunisia]] “to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so that the insects could eat them alive.”

Democrat and Republican lawmakers signed a letter to the NIH condemning the experiments as “cruel” and a “reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds.”<ref>https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/medical-advances/578086-bipartisan-legislators-demand-answers-from-fauci?amp&__twitter_impression=true</ref>

A nonprofit organization called White Coat Waste Project claimed that the NIAID is “infecting dozens of beagles with disease-causing parasites to test an experimental drug on them.” The organization also claimed that some of the 44 beagle puppies used in the lab experiment had their vocal cords cut out, allegedly so that “scientists could work without incessant barking.”

“They also locked beagles alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights,” charged the organization, “To use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/fauci-funded-lab-that-drugged-beagle-puppies-locked-their-heads-in-cages-where-sand-flies-ate-them-alive-report/</ref>[[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] (PETA) called for Fauci's resignation.<ref>https://fee.org/articles/peta-calls-on-fauci-to-resign-after-more-allegations-his-agency-funded-horrific-experiments-on-puppies/</ref>

Between 2020 and 2021 Fauci spent $2.3 million on experiments that injected [[cocaine]] into puppies.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/01/31/nih-injected-beagles-with-cocaine/</ref>

According to the state-media outlet [[National Public Radio]], Fauci oversaw experiments on monkeys to develop an [[HIV]] vaccine. The virus used to challenge the monkeys after vaccination was "a pretty hefty, robust" virus, as Fauci put it.<ref>https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/01/06/144778146/monkey-experiments-boost-hope-for-human-aids-vaccine</ref> In December 2019, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) sued the National Institutes of Health (NIH) after it refused to release videos and other materials related to experiments on primates.<ref>https://youtu.be/7iIRLDh9X2A</ref>

In December 2021 Fauci paid $205,562 for research on [[transgender]] [[monkey]]s. The study aims to determine why transgender women have high rates of [[HIV]]. As part of the study, researchers inject male monkeys with female hormones.

Critics call it another pointless, wasteful monkey torture experiment. Dr. Katherine Roe, a neurologist, said "It's just bad science to suggest that dosing monkeys with feminizing medication makes them good stand-ins for humans. This study will not help to prevent or treat HIV and will not help transgender women." Roe says the study is ineffective because monkeys cannot contract HIV. They contract Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, a milder form of the disease. She faults the National Institutes of Health for spending billions of dollars on using monkeys in HIV research, since the primates cannot contract AIDS.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/faucis-nih-division-paid-205k-for-researchers-to-study-transgender-monkeys/</ref>

==HIV and Big Pharma==

[[File:Mikovits.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Dr. Judy Mikovits exposed Fauci's collusion with Big Pharma to scam the public with AIDS research and drug royalties, for which Fauci retaliated against Dr. Mikovits.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/the-truth-about-fauci-featuring-dr-judy-mikovits/</ref>]]
In Bruce Nussbaum's 1990 book, ''Good Intentions: How Big Business And the Medical Establishment Are Corrupting the Fight Against AIDS'',
a large portion is about how Fauci, in the late 1980s, used the federal bureaucracy to block all research on the development of a drug to treat [[AIDS]]. Fauci pushed his patented Interleukin 2, a derivative of which became the highly toxic and controversial AZT.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Good-Intentions-Business-Establishment-Corrupting/dp/0871133857</ref>

In Celia Farber's 1989 expose on the scandal surrounding AZT, ''Sins of Omission'', newspapers across America banner headlined that AZT had been proven to be effective in antibody positive, [[asymptomatic]] patients even though one of the main concerns was that the drug should only be used as a last resort for critically ill AIDS patients because of the drugs extreme toxicity. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Health, was pushing to expand its use, and implied in a later interview that he either was inspired to do so due to [[ACT-UP]]'s terrorism, or otherwise used it as an excuse to do so.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy3frBacd2k</ref> The [[FDA]]'s traditional concerns had been set aside. AZT was already being by an estimated 20,000 people in sixty countries. Not only had no new evidence dispelled the initial concerns regarding AZT's toxicity and safety, but the follow-up data that had been promised was ignored. The beneficial effects of the drug had been proven to be temporary. the toxicity however stayed the same.

AZT had been approved faster than any drug in FDA history, and activists considered it a victory. The price paid for the victory however was that almost all government trials focused on AZT, while over 100 other promising drugs were left uninvestigated. The pharmaceutical manufacturers' stock price went through the roof when the announcement was made. AZT was the most expensive drug ever marketed.

On August 17, 1989, the government announced that 1.4 million healthy antibody positive Americans could benefit from taking AZT even though they showed no symptoms of the disease. New studies have proven that AZT is effective in stopping the progression of autoimmune deficiency syndrome in asymptomatic and early cases.

The [[liberal media]] and [[Wikipedia]] heap unjustified praise on Fauci. Such as claiming he helped end the AIDS outbreak by developing a vaccine despite not actually doing so (with the closest thing to a treatment to AIDS actually coming from the private sector after he failed to produce results). Critics charge that he uses erroneous models that he does not adequately check, and makes recommendations for "forever" lifestyle changes that any individual patient would naturally refuse. There is also evidence that Fauci at best had grossly exaggerated the AIDS pandemic, including conflating HIV with AIDS and strongly and falsely implying that even standard heterosexual couples were vulnerable to getting it (when in reality, AIDS was limited strictly to homosexual men and/or promiscuous people, and only would cross over to heterosexuals if a woman happened to sleep with a bisexual man). Some physicians have also been requesting for Fauci to be fired for incompetence since 2003, even going as far as to contact C-SPAN to request it.<ref>https://iotwreport.com/18-years-ago-a-caller-on-cspan-suggested-fauci-resign-because-he-was-ineffectual/</ref> As NIAID director Fauci funneled massive amounts of taxpayer funding to unethical experiments, including one that involved implanting aborted babies’ scalps onto mice.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2021/06/21/fauci-spent-more-than-61-million-funding-for-research-with-aborted-baby-parts/</ref>

Fauci congratulated Dr. Ian Lipkin, a key Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator, on receiving personal awards from Chinese Communist Party [[dictator]] [[Xi Jinping]] in 2016.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/foiad-fauci-emails-reveal-congratulating-researchers-earning-ccp-awards/</ref> Since assuming power in 2012, Xi Jinping has ramped up [[Uighur]] [[genocide]] in [[Xinjiang]].<ref>https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2018/11/07/xi-jinpings-genocide-of-the-uyghurs/</ref>

Emails publicized by Wikileaks revealed Dr. Fauci as an admirer of [[Hillary Clinton]].

==Arrogance==
[[File:Fauci narcissist.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Fauci's home office is reported to be a shrine to himself.]]
*In Dec 2020, [[Andrew Cuomo]] compared himself and Fauci to ‘Godfather’ stars De Niro, Pacino.<ref>Geoff Herbert, [https://www.oleantimesherald.com/news/cuomo-compares-himself-and-fauci-to-godfather-stars-de-niro-pacino/article_1a982d6c-63ba-5240-b8e5-067c3e3a59ea.html Cuomo compares himself and Fauci to ‘Godfather’ stars De Niro, Pacino], Syracuse.com, Dec 8, 2020</ref><blockquote>Who do you want to be: De Niro or Pacino?

This: “Attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science.”.
— Dr. Anthony Fauci, Wednesday (June 9, 2021)

We say: By now, only Martians can be unfamiliar with Fauci's arrogance — not to mention his deceptions, manipulations and, well, lies. From the effectiveness of masks to the coronavirus lab-leak theory, Fauci has been on every side of the issue, claiming the “science” backs him up each time. Please.

In Fauci's faux intellectualism, he has developed the habit of talking down to people whom he feels to be their intellectual superior, including medical doctors and people not in the scientific field.<ref>https://drleonardcoldwell.com/2020/04/20/anthony-fauci-is-a-fraud/</ref>

Fauci's home office is a shrine to himself. Fauci sits surrounded by pictures of himself including a massive, life-size portrait of himself. The images appear in the ''National Geographic'' documentary titled “Fauci.” ''[[The New York Post]]'' described the scene – Fauci typing what appears to be an email while “a canvas print of his likeness looms over him,” and a “framed photo of what appears to be Fauci’s face” and “a Dr. Fauci bobblehead” can all be observed.<ref>https://nypost.com/2022/01/20/faucis-home-office-features-photos-of-self-bobblehead/</ref>

Critics seized on what many viewed as evidence of a narcissist at work. New York City Council member Joe Borelli simply captioned the image with, “My God.” Radio host and columnist Tim Young tweeted, “Sooo… Fauci is a total narcissistic piece of sh**… got it.” “Doesn’t this tell you everything about Fauci?” added [[Fox News]] contributor Lisa Boothe.

Aside from consulting with his larger-than-life portrait and bobblehead, Fauci has praised himself as representing science.
{{quotebox-float|“If they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well people can recognize that there’s a person there, so it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science.”}}
At the age of 81, some concern has been raised about Dr. Fauci's mental wellbeing.<ref>[https://principia-scientific.com/dr-fauci-hero-liar-or-sociopath/ Dr. Fauci: Hero, Liar, Or Sociopath?], June 11, 2020. principia-scientific.com/</ref>

==Personal life==

Fauci has been on the federal payroll since 1968. As one of the highest-paid employees in the U.S. government earning $417,600 a year plus lavish benefits and royalties, Fauci has earned a reputation as a grifter. Fauci receives royalties exceeding $100,000 a year from medical textbooks. At the age of 80, his pension is said to be worth $350,000 per year.<ref>[https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/dr-faucis-retirement-pay-will-exceed-350000-year-largest-us-federal-government-history Dr Fauci's Retirement Pay Will Exceed $350,000 Per Year: The Largest In U.S. Federal Government History]</ref>

Fauci's wife, Christine Grady, earns $176,000 as Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the NIH. Christine Grady and her husband Anthony Fauci have three daughters: Jennifer Fauci, Megan Fauci, and Alison Fauci.

[[File:Cartoon Fauci speaking to Bill Clinton.jpg|500px|right|thumb|Fauci gushes with Bill Clinton while at the NIH in 1995]]
<center>''See also [[The Real Anthony Fauci]].''</center>
'''Anthony Stephen Fauci, M.D.''' (b. December 24, 1940, age 83 years old) is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the [[National Institutes of Health]], and a government bureaucrat since 1983.<ref>A [[Hillary Clinton]] admirer, Fauci has held his current government position since 1983.</ref><ref>[https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/anthony-s-fauci-md-bio "Biography", NIAID]</ref> Fauci is the worst of [[scientism]] (politically distorted science) in how he:
*plays dumb about the man-made origin of [[COVID-19|Covid-19]], and misled by implying a false natural origin
*disparaged early treatment of the virus with the result that many have died who could have been saved
*misleads by over-promoting [[COVID vaccine]]s and [[remdesivir]]
*falsely pretends to "represent science" when his biased approach has led to higher mortality in the [[U.S.]] than in poorer countries.

Fauci's policies are a disastrous mixture of [[socialism]] and [[scientism]], sometimes called "'''[[Faucism]]'''," which infringes on basic freedoms while increasing government controls that have resulted in the [[U.S.]] having one of the highest rates of [[COVID-19]] mortality in the world.

Fauci's tyrannical approach to [[COVID-19]] has been a complete failure by downplaying, denying, and even allowing obstruction of early treatment which has been successful in poorer countries that have held their mortality rates far lower than in the [[U.S.]] under [[Fauci]]'s [[socialism|socialistic]] approach. In 2020, Fauci misled the public by asserting that the origin of [[COVID-19]] was from wildlife, when in fact there was no evidence for that, and in May 2021 Fauci began to backtrack by admitting the virus may be of a manmade origin as others pointed out. Confidence in Fauci's recommendations have been likened to trust in gas station sushi.<ref>https://twitter.com/gobagel/status/1453109364173070337</ref>

As head of the NIAID, Fauci doles out millions of dollars in research grants, including experiments of questionable scientific relevance on [[transgender]] monkeys and household pets.<ref>https://www.peta.org/blog/government-funded-hiv-experiment-monkeys-wont-help-transgender-women/</ref> Fauci approved a grant for [[gain of function]] research to the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) after the [[Defense Department]] had deemed the research too dangerous to proceed.<ref>https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/2mVob3c1aDd8CNvVnyei6n/95af7dbfd2958d4c2b8494048b4889b5/JAG_Docs_pt1_Og_WATERMARK_OVER_Redacted.pdf</ref> The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the [[Covid-19]] virus was a [[bioweapon]] manufactured in the WIV laboratory.<ref>https://technofog.substack.com/p/new-documents-reveal-early-beliefs</ref> As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the [[Center for Disease Control]]. Fauci's initial reaction [[Coronavirus coverup|was to cover up]] the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists outside of government
who were recipients of grant money from Fauci, who then in turn issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref> Fauci encouraged publication of hit pieces in popular and non-scientific journals on colleagues who discussed the non-natural origins of the coronavirus.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/fauci-shut-down-lab-leak-theory-despite-scientists-lending-it-credence-emails-show></ref>

In his [[psychotic]] imagination,<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/09/fauci_psychopath_or_narcissist.html</ref> Fauci has repeatedly made grandiose and self-delusional statements to the effect that he believes that he is the walking embodiment of truth and science.<ref>https://twitter.com/FaceTheNation/status/1465003501541597191</ref> According to [[Robert F.

Scientific progress was the motivating factor behind the [[Great Leap Forward]] in the late 1950s which systematically [[murder]]ed some 60 million people by violence and by government-induced economic pressures and famine. The scientific progress was intended to tear China away from its 3,000-year-old traditional culture and norms. Fauci partnered with the same political party - the Chinese Communist Party - which has never held a free election nor reformed its ideology of holding the lives of individual citizens in low regard, in his gain-of-function research.

[[File:Daszak and Fauci.PNG|right|275px|thumb|Daszak and Fauci]]
On January 9, 2017, eleven days before Obama left office, the Obama White House lifted a ban on funding gain-of-function research and weaponization of the bat [[coronavirus]] to make it transmissible to humans at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2017/01/09/recommended-policy-guidance-potential-pandemic-pathogen-care-and-oversight</ref><ref>https://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/documents/p3co-finalguidancestatement.pdf</ref> Two days later Fauci made a presentation at Georgetown University stating that there is “no doubt” Donald J. Trump will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency.<ref>https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20170111/fauci-no-doubt-trump-will-face-surprise-infectious-disease-outbreak</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=285342982614327</ref> Biden chief of staff [[Ron Klain]] was also in attendance and said, "It’s hard to think of a more important time to show a willingness to speak out in the public health community and the global health community than it is right now on the eve of Donald Trump becoming our next president. The risks have never been higher, and the question of his perspective on these issues has never been more dubious than it is with Donald Trump.” In December 2017 Fauci awarded the grant specifically to the Wuhan lab.<ref>https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-director/statements/nih-lifts-funding-pause-gain-function-research</ref> Nine months later [[Lisa Monaco]] announced, ''The Next Pandemic Will Be Arriving Shortly''.<ref>https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/28/the-next-pandemic-will-be-arriving-shortly-global-health-infectious-avian-flu-ebola-zoonotic-diseases-trump/</ref>

Dr. Anthony Fauci knew by mid-February 2020 that covid -19 was Chinese-manufactured in a Chinese [[PLA]] laboratory and, as the nation's top health advisor, misled the president of the United States and the American people.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/fauci-lied-and-people-died/</ref>

{{Anchor|National Institutes of Health}}

The evidence came out that Dr. Fauci had funded [[gain-of-function]] research on coronavirus at the [[WIV|Wuhan lab]], which was also done illegally via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and EcoHealth Alliance<ref>https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/</ref> due to [[Barack Obama]] having banned such research in the United States, which made him directly responsible for the [[coronavirus]] outbreak, with Rand Paul calling him out on it.<ref>https://nationalfile.com/watch-rand-paul-confronts-fauci-for-funding-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref> In addition, leaked audio around 2017 had him telling President Trump with certainty that he'll be facing a pandemic.<ref>https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20170111/fauci-no-doubt-trump-will-face-surprise-infectious-disease-outbreak</ref>
[[File:Letter-to-fauci-.png|left|300px|thumb|February 12, 2020: Fauci forwarded an email warning the coronavirus came from a laboratory.<ref>https://100percentfedup.com/fauci-forwards-email-warning-virus-was-released-from-wuhan-lab-to-nih-deputy-dir-with-two-word-response-please-handle/</ref>]]
A January 9, 2020, email exchange labeled “high” importance between NIAID Senior Scientific Advisor Dr. David Morens and [[Peter Daszak]] details the relationship between the Fauci agency and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-141-149/</ref>

On January 23, 2020, the day the Wuhan viral outbreak was announced to the world, a senior NIH official, Melinda Hoskins, forwarded a Daily Mail article to colleagues discussing NIH/NIAID funding of the bat virus research, and noting that Fauci would be briefing senators the following morning. Hoskins says, “Would you please confirm the exact nature of our support to the Wuhan Institute of Virology/Biosafety Lab.” <ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JW-v-HHS-NIAID-Wuhan-June-2021-00692-pgs-47-48.pdf</ref>

From 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which was headed by Fauci.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-74-75/</ref> In an April 15, 2020 email marked “high” importance, Principal Deputy Director of NIH Lawrence Tabak emailed Fauci, NIH Director Francis Collins, and other NIH officials with the subject line: “HEADS UP: Wuhan lab research.” Tabak provides details of the grant to Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, for a project titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” Tabak continues, saying, “The 3.7M dollar figure is over 6 years to all sites which include (several in) China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. We estimate that approximately $826,300 has been spent at this site since the inception of the grant. Yearly costs appear to be about 80K/year. The grant is in year 6 of a total of 10 year.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-3-4/</ref>

On January 28, 2020, Fauci was informed that the coronavirus was genetically engineered.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9646811/Fauci-dismisses-email-revelation-warned-COVID-19-engineered.html</ref> That very same day at a meeting of President Trump's Coronavirus Task Force, Fauci strenuously objectied to President Trump's travel ban of flights from [[China]].<ref>https://noqreport.com/2021/10/29/peter-navarro-drops-bombshell-about-first-time-he-met-anthony-fauci-and-how-he-cost-hundreds-of-thousands-of-lives/</ref>

On October 1, 2017, after receiving Daszak's email related to his then-unpublished paper describing detailed research into a novel bat-born virus tied to Swine Acute Diarrheal Syndrome, Fauci forwards Daszak's email and paper on to NIH official Greg Folkers, saying, “Confidential, but fyi for you.” Daszak says, “You should know that this work was supported by a NIAID ROl that [NIH’s] Erik Stemmy is the Program Officer for, and that I’m PI [principal investigator] on, with [[Zhengli Shi]] [the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of the Wuhan Institute of Virology] as co-PI.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-193-282</ref>

In an especially appalling display of arrogance, he replied to a memo explicitly warning him of how China was at best fudging the numbers of the death rate of COVID among the Chinese and at worst completely fabricated the numbers by saying "Too Long for Me to Read."<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/response-warning-covid-china-fauci-wrote-just-6-words-long-read/</ref> Fauci referred to his CCP and [[PLA]] grant recipients as "very competent, trustworthy scientists.”<ref>https://www.kennedy.senate.gov/public/2021/5/kennedy-asks-fauci-whether-wuhan-lab-lied-you-never-know</ref>

In the spring of 2020 Fauci dismissed evidence that the coronavirus came from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] laboratory, only to reverse himself after the defection of a high-level State Security minister from the [[Peoples Republic of China]] with damning evidence.<ref>https://archive.is/JsDBE#selection-271.0-275.37</ref> The denial of factual evidence by alleged scientific experts has been cited as a contributing factor to the [[2020 presidential election]] outcome.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/557783-lindsey-graham-dismissal-of-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-cost-trump-2020-election</ref>

In total, Fauci funded over 60 projects at the Wuhan lab, and never disclosed that fact to president Trump.<ref>https://youtu.be/nFoAczoHbV0</ref>

===Gain of function===
In a 2012 scientific paper, Fauci argued that the alleged benefits resulting from gain of function research outweighed the risks.<ref>https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1398286881306128402</ref> On October 17, 2014, the [[Obama administration]] announced a moratorium on gain-of-function research.<ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2014/10/17/doing-diligence-assess-risks-and-benefits-life-sciences-gain-function-research</ref> The moratorium was lifted by the Obama [[White House]] in January 2017, eleven days before President Trump was sworn into office.

In March 2018, Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) submitted a funding request to the [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA) for bat coronavirus research called Operation Defuse. It was rejected as too dangerous.<ref>https://twitter.com/VigilantFox/status/1480740626161414145</ref> DARPA gave as the reason's for rejection:<ref>https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/5OjsrkkXHfuHps6Lek1MO0/5e7a0d86d5d67e8d153555400d9dcd17/defuse-project-rejection-by-darpa.pdf</ref>
{{quotebox-float|''DRASTIC independently assesses that the tone of the proposal (see for instance the ‘our cave complex’) and the deep suggested involvement of some of the WIV parties ([[Shi Zheng Li]] employed half-time for 3 years - paid via the grant - and invited to DARPA headquarters at [[Arlington, Virginia|Arlington]]), may not have helped either - especially in the absence of any DURC [Duel Use Research of Concern] risk mitigation program.''

''It is clear that the proposed DEFUSE project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk by failing to consider the following issues:''

- Gain of Function

- Dual Use Research of Concern

- Vaccine epitope coverage

- Regulatory requirements

- ELSI (ethical, legal, and social issues)

- Data Usage}}
[[File:Govt Advisors SHRED Documents Detailing Fauci Obama-Era Work With Wuhan Lab.PNG|right|275px|thumb|In February 2022 it was reported that government advisors shredded documents detailing the Obama administration's work with the Wuhan Lab.]]
Fauci however, cast aside the [[Pentagon]]'s concerns and picked up the project, funding to be continued at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and in [[North Carolina]]. Fauci's reasoning was that the probability of a pandemic arising in nature was greater than a viral pathogen escaping from a lab, or his trusted communist partners in the [[Peoples Liberation Army]] using it as an offensive biological weapon.<ref>https://youtu.be/_Rt_dcAh8JI</ref>

===Covid coverup===

According to government documents obtained by a legal watchdog organization, Fauci knew, the Chinese
were withholding COVID-19 data,<ref>Isabel van Brugen, "[https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-agency-knew-chinese-authorities-were-withholding-covid-19-data-in-january-2020-documents-show_4313524.html Fauci Agency Knew Chinese Authorities Were Withholding COVID-19 Data in January 2020, Documents Show]", ''Epoch Fimes'', 2 March 2022.</ref>

In fact, Fauci was told in a secret teleconference on February 1, 2020, that the COVID-19 virus very likely leaked from a laboratory in China. After the teleconference, however, Fauci and his associates began pushing an alternate narrative, instead claiming the virus was of natural origin, and the researchers who informed him and others of the likely lab leak also changed their narrative to align with Fauci, despite their own documented statements saying otherwise.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-knew-about-virus-lab-origin-from-secret-teleconference-jeff-carlson-and-hans-mahncke_4248579.html</ref>

The National Institutes of Health repeatedly failed to comply with congressional requests for documents related to its involvement with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, instead forcing agency personnel to “shred notes and other documents” referencing the Chinese Communist Party-run lab and its work with the U.S. government during the [[Obama administration]]. Members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform wrote a to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commissar [[Xavier Becerra]] urging the release of the documents. The letter reveals that an NIH advisor was “forced by NIH to shred notes and other documents pertaining to the WIV grants as early as 2014.” An email from an individual, whose name has been redacted, to a committee staff member on November 5, 2021, revealed the following:
{{quotebox-float|“I signed a confidentiality agreement in which I agreed not to discuss any grant with anyone except with other members of the study section, and – once the meeting was over – that I would destroy any notes that I had taken during the meeting (we did this by tossing them in shred box in the meeting room)).”}}
The letter outlines how, “to date, HHS and NIH have refused to produce any responsive documents or information.” The congressional committee requested documents from former NIH Director Francis Collins surrounding a 2014, Obama-era grant awarded from Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to EcoHealth Alliance and the WIV in May and July 2021. Despite committee staff repeatedly amending their requests, making them broader in scope and easier for the agency to fulfill, both agencies refused to turn over any documents.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/16/nih-refuses-to-comply-with-congressional-doc-request/</ref>

===Fauci under oath===
[[File:Arrest Fauci.PNG|right|275px|thumb|[[Twitter]] CEO [[Elon Musk]] posted, "My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci."<ref>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1601894132573605888</ref>]]
In Congressional testimony,<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/20/senator-rand-paul-confronts-a-very-nervous-and-lying-dr-anthony-fauci/</ref> Fauci attempted to parse the term "gain-of-function," and was threatened with [[prosecution]] for lying to Congress.<ref>https://www.viralnigeria.com.ng/rand-paul-to-make-criminal-referral-to-doj-after-accusing-fauci-of-lying-to-congress-regarding-gain-of-function-virus-research/</ref> Dr. Roger Ebright, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at [[Rutgers University]] and biosafety expert, contested Fauci's testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Fauci's claim that “the NIH [National Institutes of Health] has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV]” is “demonstrably false.”<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/biosafety-expert-explains-why-fauci-140753796.html Biosafety Expert Explains Why Fauci’s NIH ‘Gain-of-Function’ Testimony Was ‘Demonstrably False’, Yahoo News]</ref> The research can be classified as gain-of-function under a number of different definitions, including those found in two pieces of Department of Health and Human Services guidance on the subject.

The work being conducted at the WIV, using NIH funds originally granted to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, “epitomizes” gain-of-function research under the definition HHS provided in its guidance, and is the exact kind of research that led the Obama administration to conclude that gain-of-function was too dangerous to continue domestically.

Ebright said, "The Wuhan lab used NIH funding to construct novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and laboratory animals...This is high-risk research that creates new potential pandemic pathogens (i.e., potential pandemic [[pathogen]]s that exist only in a lab, not in nature). This research matches — indeed epitomizes — the definition of ‘gain of function research of concern’ for which federal funding was ‘paused’ in 2014–2017.” Chimeric coronaviruses refers to those that have been altered and enhanced by man, in this case in such a way as to make them more transmissible and dangerous to humans.

The paper drafted by WIV scientists, ''Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus'' by [[Zheng-Li Shi]] and others,<ref>https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698#abstract0</ref> clearly states that the underlying research was funded by, among other entities, the National Institutes of Health. The NIH’s own database of grantees lists this research and confirms that over $660,000 was spent supporting it.

By October, 2021 calls for Fauci to be removed, increased.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Allott|first=Daniel|date=2021-10-26|title=It's time for Fauci to go — but don't expect it to happen|url=https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/578436-its-time-for-fauci-to-go-but-dont-expect-it-to-happen|access-date=2021-10-28|website=TheHill|language=en}}</ref>

===International Criminal Court complaint===
[[File:Fauci3.JPG|right|275px|thumb|Fauci. "To attack me is to attack [[science]]"]]
In December 2021 a complaint was filed with the Prosecutor of the [[International Criminal Court]] naming Fauci, Peter Daszak, Bill Gates, [[Klaus Schwab]], [[Boris Johnson]] and various other international figures by a team of experts in [[UK]]. The complaint argues that “based on the extensive claims and enclosed documentation, we charge those responsible for numerous violations of the [[Nuremberg Code]], crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression in the United Kingdom, but not limited to individuals in these countries”. The applicants state that “It is our intention to present to you and detail how, in the United Kingdom this year, the Government of the United Kingdom, with its Ministers and senior officials have violated the Nuremberg Code not only in a single aspect but in many aspects”.

The UK team which filed the complaint is represented by attorney Hannah Rose, with co-applicants including Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former vice-president and Chief Scientist of allergy and respiratory research at [[Pfizer]] respiratory pharmacology, former vice president and Chief Scientist of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer and others.<ref>https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/10/uk-team-file-complaint-of-crimes-against-humanity-with-the-international-criminal-court/</ref>

==U.S. covid pandemic==
Fauci told [[Jake Tapper]] of CNN in February 2020 that fifteen to twenty percent of those who contracted the [[CCP virus]] would require hospitalization. In March 2020, he said: “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” [[Kim Kardashian]] invited Fauci to address a private Zoom call of thirty-seven [[Hollywood values|Hollywood celebrity]] friends so they could ask him about quarantine measures.<ref>https://thelampmagazine.com/2021/04/30/doctor-who/</ref> Fauci had a Google Alert set up to send news articles about himself directly to his government email address. Any news article that mentioned the words “Anthony Fauci” or “Tony Fauci” was delivered straight to Fauci's inbox.<ref>https://dossier.substack.com/p/megalomaniac-fauci-has-every-article</ref> Fauci told President Trump that millions of Americans would die if the U.S. did not implement draconian [[lockdown]]s.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/03/15/sotu-fauci-millions.cnn</ref>

Fauci took the rather unscientific view of criticizing the inexpensive [[hydroxychloroquine]] approved decades ago for off-the-shelf use by humans, despite numerous studies indicating its effectiveness as a treatment or prophylaxis for [[COVID-19]]. Instead, Fauci promoted expensive alternatives promoted by Big Pharma but lacking in any proven significant benefits.

Fauci encouraged vaccinated individuals to avoid unvaccinated relatives during the 2021 [[Christmas]] holidays, so that people supposedly immunized by the vaccine would be protected from catching the virus from unvaccinated people.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/12/21/anthony-fauci-says-unvaxxed-relatives-not-worthy-enough-to-attend-family-christmas-gatherings/</ref>

CTCL distributed hundreds of millions in “[[Zuckerbucks]]” to thousands of election jurisdictions in 48 states and [[Washington, D.C.]]. These funds were pitched as “COVID-19 response grants” supposedly intended to assist election officials in the safe conduct of elections. However, the infusion of CTCL funds into Democrat-leaning jurisdictions influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Much of the Zuckerbucks were not spent on COVID-19 related expenses—with states reporting expenditures on advertising, vehicle purchases, registering teenagers to vote, and other non- COVID-related items.

Zuckerberg money to [[CTCL]] was laundered through the [[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative]] (CZI) controlled by Zuckerberg and his wife. Chan Zuckerberg also gave $433,000 to Ralph Baric,<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/facebook-czi-funds-controversial-wuhan-researcher/</ref> who was described by [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology as her “longtime collaborator” on gain-of-function research on the bat coronavirus.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/wuhan-lab-partner-scheming-on-pandemic-profits/</ref> Baric also received funding from Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Health (NIH).

Fauci admitted that Mark Zuckerberg offered him “resources and money” at the time same Zuckerberg was plowing cash into interfering in the 2020 presidential election on behalf of Democrats.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/news/fauci-reveals-what-was-redacted-in-his-zuckerberg-emails/</ref>

===Racist vaccine mandates===

Fauci has been criticized for the Biden regime's racist vaccine mandates.<ref>https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2021/04/01/welcome-new-jim-crow-vaccine-passports-racist-n381478</ref><ref>https://www.aier.org/article/fauci-was-duplicitous-on-the-aids-epidemic-too/</ref> Rapper [[Nicki Minaj]] had been invited to the [[White House]] to speak with Anthony Fauci and the [[Surgeon General]] after expressing covid vaccine skepticism. As [[leftist]] [[bigot]]s attacked her for expressing skepticism, the White House denied an invitation was extended in an effort to discredit her before her 200 million-plus followers. Minaj supporters came out in droves to march on the CDC's Atlanta headquarters chanting "Nicki told the truth to me! [[Fauci]] lied to me!" about [[COVID]] vaccines.<ref>https://pagesix.com/2021/09/17/nicki-minaj-fans-chat-at-cdc-hq-that-star-told-the-truth-on-vaccines/</ref><ref>https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/bia-defends-nicki-minaj-stop-listening-to-the-government-and-media-news.139413.html</ref>

The group that organized the protests invited Trump supporters to join them. The protest was set up by the Black Hammer Organization's [[commander-in-chief]] Gazi Kodzo, who told the ''[[Gateway Pundit]]'' about how they hope to put political differences aside to fight together against [[Biden's vaccine mandate|Biden's racist vaccine mandates]]. Kodzo told the ''Gateway Pundit'' that “this is such a human issue that we can’t let things that used to separate us continue to separate us. A real core value of our humanity is literally being ripped from us — the ability to say what goes inside of our bodies.”<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/09/exclusive-group-protested-cdc-support-nicki-minaj-invites-trump-supporters-join-demonstration-friday-cdc-headquarters-says-cdc-employees-threw-things/</ref> “If we do not make that choice that [[Biden junta|this administration]] tells us to make, we are no longer capable of working,” Kodzo continued. He said that he is willing to stand with “anyone who is willing to go side by side with me to fight for that core value.”

Kodzo said that while his group wears masks, he does not understand why people get mad at those who choose not to. He pointed out that Fauci had originally said that masks do not work, but keeps changing his story. “Fauci never went back and said, ‘you know what? I was wrong.’ If Fauci had to go on TV and tell everyone each time he was wrong, he wouldn't be ‘America’s Doctor’ anymore.” Kodzo asserted that these days, it seems like the unelected Dr. Fauci is the one who is actually running this country and calling all the shots. He also noted that the doctor had originally claimed that there would not be any kind of vaccine mandate placed upon the American people, which was obviously untrue. “Ever since Joe Biden has been ‘the president’ he has been a puppet for whatever Fauci says. Dr. Fauci is the freaking president. I don't know what [[Kamala]] is doing, every time you ask her a question she's just giggling,” Kodzo said, adding that every issue she tries to fix she just seems to make it worse.

==Fauci, Daszak and Hunter Biden==

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) held a conference, "Healthy People, Healthy Ecosystems," from April 7–9, 2017 in Washington, D.C. In its description of the event, CUGH notes that the conference supports its vision for a “world without borders”:
{{Cquote|CUGH believes in a world [[open borders|without borders]], because the desire for health and well-being is universal and doesn’t change based on race, ethnicity, national, socioeconomic status, [[sexual identity]], or geographic location.}}
[[File:ACE2 receptor.png|right|300px|thumb|Part of a slide presentation made by Peter Daszak at the CUGH conference, April 2017.<ref>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ltnwcnugf3ykh4u/AADjaaC1-lgsReoYxlGV5srQa?dl=0&preview=PS09_Daszak.pdf</ref>]]
Fauci appeared on a panel alongside Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance and Principal Deputy Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Anne Schuchat, Natalie Winters of ''The National Pulse'' reported.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/peter-daszak-admits-china-coronavirus-work-funded-by-nih/</ref> The three individuals participated in a panel – “Future of Infectious Disease Pandemics: From Ebola to Zika, and Beyond” – where they discussed pandemic preparedness. “Although much is known about how to detect and respond to existing infections, more research is needed to predict the likelihood of their emergence and spread, and to improve the precision and timeliness of public health responsiveness,” notes the panel description.
[[File:RSTP.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden financed a company that partnered with Peter Daszak and the Wuhan lab.]]
During Daszak's presentation, given with an accompanying slideshow, he states his coronavirus work in China was carried out with “funding” from Fauci's NIAID along with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) program: “Working with the USAID EPT PREDICT Program and funding through NIAID to work on coronaviruses in China, we were able to test out this idea of predicting what the next emerging diseases might be. So we’ve all heard of SARS. We know that SARS is carried by civets. Well, actually, the host of SARS-like viruses, the viruses that the [[SARS-CoVid-1|SARS]] coronavirus emerged from are bats....We worked in China to go out and do surveillance in other bat species and say how many other SARS-like viruses are there. Is there something even close to SARS? And sure enough, there was."

“Even the international grants, the bulk of those funds go through U.S. organizations like ours before we send any abroad,” Daszak answers in response to a question about federal funding posed by Cornell Medicine's Oliver Fein, who asserts “the worst virus that we presently have is the [[Trump administration]].”

During the panel, Schuchat, a CDC official, also praised the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) response to China's first SARS outbreak:
[[File:Hunter Biden with meth pipe.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden and the [[Biden family]] are co-investors in one of Fauci's schemes.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/kevindowneyjr/2021/06/28/breaking-hunter-bidens-firm-funded-company-that-partnered-with-wuhan-bat-research-n1457874</ref>]]
“A key lesson was that cover-ups are not worth it. You may recall the Minister of Health and the Mayor of Beijing were both removed during the SARS epidemic and that being transparent and open with your situation is a lot better....[[Beijing]] did an incredible job of responding once the political level let them respond. They took over the healthcare system.”

Another panel at the event – “The Global Virome Project: A First Step Toward Ending the Pandemic Era” – featured Daszak and the Chief Scientific Officer of [[Metabiota]], a pandemic tracking and response firm whose lead financial backer was a [[Hunter Biden]]-led investment group. Biden served as managing director of [[Rosemont Seneca]] Technology Partners (RSTP), which led the company's first round of funding worth $30 million.

The panel summary predicts declared that “The frequency of pandemics is increasing, driven by surging populations, environmental change and globalized trade and travel. Disease outbreaks illustrate that we are ill-prepared to mitigate the impact of a novel virus or prevent its emergence. Only a small proportion of viral threats have been identified. Over the coming century we will witness spillover from a pool of more than 1,000,000 “unknown” viruses into human populations. A global initiative to identify and characterize every significant viral threat circulating in the world is achievable over the next ten years – a critical and essential step towards ending the pandemic era.”

==Fauci collusion with Bill Gates==
[[File:Gates & Tedros.jpg|thumbnail|200px|left|Bill Gates with [[CCP]] puppet and head of the [[WHO]] [[Tedros Adhanom]].<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/who-chief-tedros-has-got-to-go/</ref>]]
Scientists first attempted to develop coronavirus vaccines after China's 2002 [[SARS-CoV-1]] outbreak. Teams of US & foreign scientists vaccinated animals with the four most promising vaccines. At first, the experiment seemed successful as all the animals developed a robust [[antibody]] response to coronavirus. However, when the scientists exposed the vaccinated animals to the wild virus, the results were horrifying. Vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses including inflammation throughout their bodies, especially in their lungs. Researchers had seen this same “enhanced immune response” during [[human]] testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1960s. Two children died.

Paul Offit, Peter Hotez, and Anthony Fauci warned that any new coronavirus vaccine could trigger lethal immune reactions “vaccine enhancement” when vaccinated people come in contact with the wild virus. Instead of proceeding with caution, Fauci has made the choice to fast track vaccines, partially funded by Gates, without critical animal studies before moving into human clinical trials that could provide early warning of runaway immune response.

[[Bill Gates]] is so worried about the danger of adverse events that he says vaccines shouldn't be distributed until governments agree to indemnity or grant legal immunity from lawsuits.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/heres-why-bill-gates-wants-indemnity-are-you-willing-to-take-the-risk/</ref>

==Vaccines for profit==

Fauci has promoted [[vaccination]] as an approach to disease, and has been criticized for favoring approaches advantageous to [[Big Pharma]]. Fauci is a patent holder who receives royalties on the sale and distribution of vaccines.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/profit-motive-hidden-from-patients/</ref> Fauci said in a [[White House]] press briefing "not particularly concerned” about the safety risk on human guinea pigs of a potential coronavirus vaccine by Moderna, despite the fact that it uses untested technology.<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/27/dr-anthony-fauci-isnt-particularly-concerned-about-safety-of-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine.html</ref>
[[File:AZT treatment.png|right|300px]]
According to the ''[[Associated Press]]'', patients who took part in clinical trials at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) had no idea that scientists at the institutes received $8.9 million in royalty payments and might benefit financially for the use of their discoveries by pharmaceutical companies and device maker. The information was not made public until the press agency obtained the information after filing a request under the [[Freedom of Information Act]]. The ''AP''reported that 916 present and former NIH researchers received annual royalty payments averaging $9700 but could receive as much as $150 000. At the same time, NIH researchers spent millions of taxpayers' dollars studying the treatments that they had developed that were licensed to drug companies. Patients said they might not have participated and undergone risks of trial treatment if they knew of scientists' had a financial interest.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC545012/</ref>

The NIH has been criticized before for not disclosing [[conflict of interest|conflicts of interest]].<ref>https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=BMJ&volume=329&publication_year=2004&pages=10&</ref>

In April 2020, three months after the Wuhan virus outbreak in the United States and days after news of Fauci's funding of Wuhan lab gain of function research on the bat coronavirus began [[leak]]ing out, Robert Kennedy, Jr. went on the Thomas Paine podcast and warned Anthony Fauci is a fraud and known inside the CDC as the man who “poisoned an entire generation of Americans”. Fauci is workplace tyrant who ruined the careers of countless physicians and researchers. Fauci has used his post for financial gain in the form of obtaining lucrative vaccine patents. Doctors and researchers underneath him who developed breakthrough technologies have been fired so that Fauci could assume ownership of their work. “Tony Fauci has many, many vaccine patents,” Kennedy contends, noting that Fauci now owns a patent on a special protein sheet made from HIV that helps to more efficiently deliver vaccine material throughout the body. Fauci didn't develop this protein sheet himself, but rather stole it from someone else who was relieved from duty after creating it. “Tony Fauci fired [this person] and he somehow ended up owning that patent,” Kennedy says. “And that patent is now being used by some of these companies … to make vaccines for the coronavirus … that company has a 50/50 split with Tony Fauci’s agency … so Fauci’s agency will collect half the royalties on that vaccine and there’s no limit for how much the agency can collect.”<ref>https://drleonardcoldwell.com/2020/04/20/anthony-fauci-is-a-fraud/</ref>

==Investment portfolio==
Anthony Fauci invested in the Chinese regime's corporate “national champions,” large Chinese companies that advance Beijing's interests and benefit from state policies. At the end of the first year of the covid pandemic Fauci had $10.4 million in investments.<ref>https://www.marshall.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Anthony-Fauci-Financial-Disclosures-for-2020-and-2019.pdf</ref> One particular fund was named the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund. The fund invested 42.7% of its investors’ capital on companies based in [[China]]. Those companies included Tencent Holdings, Alibaba Group Holdings, Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing Ltd., and WuXi Biologics Cayman.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/science/2022/01/15/anthony-faucis-10m-2020-investment-portfolio-chinese-companies/</ref>

Tencent Holdings is known for complying with the Chinese regime's censorship rules and for extending its monitoring and censorship to U.S. users of WeChat. The app has drawn scrutiny from the U.S. government over national security concerns.
[[File:Fauci net worth.png|right|400px|thumb|''Source: National Pulse.''<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/09/29/faucis-net-worth-surged-to-12-6-million-during-pandemic/</ref>]]
Alibaba, China's e-commerce and technology giant founded by billionaire tech entrepreneur Jack Ma, along with Tencent, were among several Chinese companies named in 2017 by China's Ministry of Science and Technology on the communist regime's “national team” for advancing [[artificial intelligence]].

Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ford said in 2019 that the [[PRC]]'s technology giants, including Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent, had “become deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.”

WuXi Biologics Cayman, a biopharmaceutical company listed in Hong Kong, has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. According to a 2021 article published by China's news portal NetEase, the firm was among several Chinese companies signing a partnership deal with the municipal government in Wuxi, a city near Shanghai, in forming a “Party-building alliance.” One of the things the alliance would allow the participating companies to do better would be to share information on improving the “cohesiveness and competitiveness” of their “Party organizations.”<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-invested-in-chinese-companies-with-ties-to-beijing-according-to-financial-disclosures_4217809.html</ref>

Aside from the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Fauci's 2020 investments also include Pimco's investment-grade bond fund and the Pax Ellevate Global Women's Leadership Fund.

Fauci has been accused of lying about his financial disclosures during sworn Senate testimony.<ref>https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/breaking-sen-marshall-proves-fauci-lied-by-obtaining-previously-unpublished-financial-records/</ref>

==Experiments on children==

The Fauci led NIH approved experiments on hundreds of [[New York City]] orphans.<ref>https://iccinvestigation.wordpress.com/</ref> Government agencies and pharmaceutical companies used the orphans in deadly AIDS drug trials. In 2005, the city of New York hired the VERA Institute to form a final report on the drug trials. VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008.

The [[Wikipedia|WIKIPEDIA]] writers cover up all details, as is expected.

A hospital nurse later spoke out to reporters about the testing. She reported that children would immediately get sick, break out or throw up during the testing.
They were orphans at the Incarnation Children's Center in New York City.<ref>https://youtu.be/cyJLYPh9pxY</ref>

At least 85 orphan minority children in New York, children who were vulnerable, could not consent, and who would not be missed.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/guinea-pig-kids-faucis-legacy-of-cruel-experiments-on-children-dead-babies-and-mass-graves/</ref> These children were buried in mass graves at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, NY in Westchester County and otherwise forgotten.

These extreme claims are the subject of a new book by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., called “The Real Anthony Fauci.” In Chapter 7, Kennedy lays out “NIAID’s Barbaric and Illegal Experiments on Children”. In an interview with journalist James Corbett,<ref>https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/rfkjr-fauci720p:e</ref> Kennedy specifically explained the facts on Fauci's illegal testing on orphan children:
[[File:Excerpt from the Real Anthony Fauci.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Excerpt from ''The Real Anthony Fauci'' by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/exclusive-forgotten-monument-dead-orphans-faucis-torturous-deadly-aids-testing-located-new-york-state-heart-breaking-photos/</ref>]]
*Fauci tested harsh [[chemotherapy]] drugs on orphan children in order to determine its use for AIDS treatments in the 1980s
*Fauci got control of foster homes in 7 states
*Children were tortured to death
*Children were denied guardians and any kind of legal protector
*Children who refused to take Fauci's drugs had feeding tubes installed so drug companies could administer the drugs even when the kids fought back
*Most of the children did not have HIV/AIDS, they were just used as guinea pigs to see if they could survive the harsh drug regimen
*At least 85 kids died as part of these experiments

The graveyard where these children were thrown into a pit, filled with hundreds of coffins sometimes stuffed with multiple children, is buried under an astroturf pit in New York. In the book Kennedy refers to Fauci as America's ‘homegrown [[Joseph Mengele|Mengele]].’ These are the victims of Fauci's crimes, says Kennedy.

==Animal experiments==
[[File:Fauci animal experiment.JPG|left|300px|thumb|Fauci funded animal experiments where dogs were eaten alive by flies.]]
Fauci provided funding for a laboratory experiment where beagle puppies were drugged, their heads locked in mesh cages filled with sand flies, and the insects ate them alive. ''The Hill'' reported that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Fauci, gave part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in [[Tunisia]] “to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so that the insects could eat them alive.”

Democrat and Republican lawmakers signed a letter to the NIH condemning the experiments as “cruel” and a “reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds.”<ref>https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/medical-advances/578086-bipartisan-legislators-demand-answers-from-fauci?amp&__twitter_impression=true</ref>

A nonprofit organization called White Coat Waste Project claimed that the NIAID is “infecting dozens of beagles with disease-causing parasites to test an experimental drug on them.” The organization also claimed that some of the 44 beagle puppies used in the lab experiment had their vocal cords cut out, allegedly so that “scientists could work without incessant barking.”

“They also locked beagles alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights,” charged the organization, “To use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/fauci-funded-lab-that-drugged-beagle-puppies-locked-their-heads-in-cages-where-sand-flies-ate-them-alive-report/</ref>[[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] (PETA) called for Fauci's resignation.<ref>https://fee.org/articles/peta-calls-on-fauci-to-resign-after-more-allegations-his-agency-funded-horrific-experiments-on-puppies/</ref>

Between 2020 and 2021 Fauci spent $2.3 million on experiments that injected [[cocaine]] into puppies.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/01/31/nih-injected-beagles-with-cocaine/</ref>

According to the state-media outlet [[National Public Radio]], Fauci oversaw experiments on monkeys to develop an [[HIV]] vaccine. The virus used to challenge the monkeys after vaccination was "a pretty hefty, robust" virus, as Fauci put it.<ref>https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/01/06/144778146/monkey-experiments-boost-hope-for-human-aids-vaccine</ref> In December 2019, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) sued the National Institutes of Health (NIH) after it refused to release videos and other materials related to experiments on primates.<ref>https://youtu.be/7iIRLDh9X2A</ref>

In December 2021 Fauci paid $205,562 for research on [[transgender]] [[monkey]]s. The study aims to determine why transgender women have high rates of [[HIV]]. As part of the study, researchers inject male monkeys with female hormones.

Critics call it another pointless, wasteful monkey torture experiment. Dr. Katherine Roe, a neurologist, said "It's just bad science to suggest that dosing monkeys with feminizing medication makes them good stand-ins for humans. This study will not help to prevent or treat HIV and will not help transgender women." Roe says the study is ineffective because monkeys cannot contract HIV. They contract Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, a milder form of the disease. She faults the National Institutes of Health for spending billions of dollars on using monkeys in HIV research, since the primates cannot contract AIDS.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/faucis-nih-division-paid-205k-for-researchers-to-study-transgender-monkeys/</ref>

==HIV and Big Pharma==

[[File:Mikovits.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Dr. Judy Mikovits exposed Fauci's collusion with Big Pharma to scam the public with AIDS research and drug royalties, for which Fauci retaliated against Dr. Mikovits.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/the-truth-about-fauci-featuring-dr-judy-mikovits/</ref>]]
In Bruce Nussbaum's 1990 book, ''Good Intentions: How Big Business And the Medical Establishment Are Corrupting the Fight Against AIDS'',
a large portion is about how Fauci, in the late 1980s, used the federal bureaucracy to block all research on the development of a drug to treat [[AIDS]]. Fauci pushed his patented Interleukin 2, a derivative of which became the highly toxic and controversial AZT.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Good-Intentions-Business-Establishment-Corrupting/dp/0871133857</ref>

In Celia Farber's 1989 expose on the scandal surrounding AZT, ''Sins of Omission'', newspapers across America banner headlined that AZT had been proven to be effective in antibody positive, [[asymptomatic]] patients even though one of the main concerns was that the drug should only be used as a last resort for critically ill AIDS patients because of the drugs extreme toxicity. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Health, was pushing to expand its use, and implied in a later interview that he either was inspired to do so due to [[ACT-UP]]'s terrorism, or otherwise used it as an excuse to do so.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy3frBacd2k</ref> The [[FDA]]'s traditional concerns had been set aside. AZT was already being by an estimated 20,000 people in sixty countries. Not only had no new evidence dispelled the initial concerns regarding AZT's toxicity and safety, but the follow-up data that had been promised was ignored. The beneficial effects of the drug had been proven to be temporary. the toxicity however stayed the same.

AZT had been approved faster than any drug in FDA history, and activists considered it a victory. The price paid for the victory however was that almost all government trials focused on AZT, while over 100 other promising drugs were left uninvestigated. The pharmaceutical manufacturers' stock price went through the roof when the announcement was made. AZT was the most expensive drug ever marketed.

On August 17, 1989, the government announced that 1.4 million healthy antibody positive Americans could benefit from taking AZT even though they showed no symptoms of the disease. New studies have proven that AZT is effective in stopping the progression of autoimmune deficiency syndrome in asymptomatic and early cases.

[[File:Fauci Film.JPG|right|275px|thumb|The Fauci agitprop film was not well received. [[Rotten Tomatoes]] refused to allow critical reviews.<ref>https://youtu.be/OBbEV8qP4fo</ref>]]
The [[liberal media]] and [[Wikipedia]] heap unjustified praise on Fauci. Such as claiming he helped end the AIDS outbreak by developing a vaccine despite not actually doing so (with the closest thing to a treatment to AIDS actually coming from the private sector after he failed to produce results). Critics charge that he uses erroneous models that he does not adequately check, and makes recommendations for "forever" lifestyle changes that any individual patient would naturally refuse. There is also evidence that Fauci at best had grossly exaggerated the AIDS pandemic, including conflating HIV with AIDS and strongly and falsely implying that even standard heterosexual couples were vulnerable to getting it (when in reality, AIDS was limited strictly to homosexual men and/or promiscuous people, and only would cross over to heterosexuals if a woman happened to sleep with a bisexual man). Some physicians have also been requesting for Fauci to be fired for incompetence since 2003, even going as far as to contact C-SPAN to request it.<ref>https://iotwreport.com/18-years-ago-a-caller-on-cspan-suggested-fauci-resign-because-he-was-ineffectual/</ref> As NIAID director Fauci funneled massive amounts of taxpayer funding to unethical experiments, including one that involved implanting aborted babies’ scalps onto mice.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2021/06/21/fauci-spent-more-than-61-million-funding-for-research-with-aborted-baby-parts/</ref>

==Arrogance==
[[File:Fauci narcissist.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Fauci's home office is reported to be a shrine to himself.]]
*In Dec 2020, [[Andrew Cuomo]] compared himself and Fauci to ‘Godfather’ stars De Niro, Pacino.<ref>Geoff Herbert, [https://www.oleantimesherald.com/news/cuomo-compares-himself-and-fauci-to-godfather-stars-de-niro-pacino/article_1a982d6c-63ba-5240-b8e5-067c3e3a59ea.html Cuomo compares himself and Fauci to ‘Godfather’ stars De Niro, Pacino], Syracuse.com, Dec 8, 2020</ref><blockquote>Who do you want to be: De Niro or Pacino?

“I love them both,” Fauci said, laughing. He refused to pick a favorite, though: “I don’t want to hurt the feelings of one or the other.”</blockquote>

This: “Attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science.”.
— Dr. Anthony Fauci, Wednesday (June 9, 2021)

We say: By now, only Martians can be unfamiliar with Fauci's arrogance — not to mention his deceptions, manipulations and, well, lies. From the effectiveness of masks to the coronavirus lab-leak theory, Fauci has been on every side of the issue, claiming the “science” backs him up each time. Please.

In Fauci's faux intellectualism, he has developed the habit of talking down to people whom he feels to be their intellectual superior, including medical doctors and people not in the scientific field.<ref>https://drleonardcoldwell.com/2020/04/20/anthony-fauci-is-a-fraud/</ref>

Fauci's home office is a shrine to himself. Fauci sits surrounded by pictures of himself including a massive, life-size portrait of himself. The images appear in the ''National Geographic'' documentary titled “Fauci.” ''[[The New York Post]]'' described the scene – Fauci typing what appears to be an email while “a canvas print of his likeness looms over him,” and a “framed photo of what appears to be Fauci’s face” and “a Dr. Fauci bobblehead” can all be observed.<ref>https://nypost.com/2022/01/20/faucis-home-office-features-photos-of-self-bobblehead/</ref>

Critics seized on what many viewed as evidence of a narcissist at work. New York City Council member Joe Borelli simply captioned the image with, “My God.” Radio host and columnist Tim Young tweeted, “Sooo… Fauci is a total narcissistic piece of sh**… got it.” “Doesn’t this tell you everything about Fauci?” added [[Fox News]] contributor Lisa Boothe.

Aside from consulting with his larger-than-life portrait and bobblehead, Fauci has praised himself as representing science.
{{quotebox-float|“If they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well people can recognize that there’s a person there, so it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science.”}}
At the age of 81, some concern has been raised about Dr. Fauci's mental wellbeing.<ref>[https://principia-scientific.com/dr-fauci-hero-liar-or-sociopath/ Dr. Fauci: Hero, Liar, Or Sociopath?], June 11, 2020. principia-scientific.com/</ref>

==Personal life==

Fauci has been on the federal payroll since 1968. As one of the highest-paid employees in the U.S. government earning $417,600 a year plus lavish benefits and royalties, Fauci has earned a reputation as a grifter. Fauci receives royalties exceeding $100,000 a year from medical textbooks. At the age of 80, his pension is said to be worth $350,000 per year.<ref>[https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/dr-faucis-retirement-pay-will-exceed-350000-year-largest-us-federal-government-history Dr Fauci's Retirement Pay Will Exceed $350,000 Per Year: The Largest In U.S. Federal Government History]</ref>

Fauci's wife, Christine Grady, earns $176,000 as Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the NIH. Christine Grady and her husband Anthony Fauci have three daughters: Jennifer Fauci, Megan Fauci, and Alison Fauci.

Tumelo: add covid spread among vaccinated misinfo

<center>''See also [[coronavirus]].''</center>
'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into the [[CCP global pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

The CCP tried to cover up the emergence of the COVID-19 which prevented the pandemic being contained in its early stages.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets. Photos show what the markets look like.]", ''Business Insider''</ref>

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

===Hospitalizations===
False COVID-19 hospitalization numbers were reported by the CDC and amplified by the U.S. media.

Gaza Strip

2024-06-07T04:24:16Z

Tumelo:

[[Image:Gazastrip91.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Gaza Strip]]
The '''Gaza Strip''', often referred to simply as "Gaza", is a narrow [[coast]]al strip of land that runs along the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. With a population of 2.2 million, of whom 90% are Palestinian Arabs, in an area of only 141 square miles, it is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and has been littered with refugee camps. The strip takes its name from [[Gaza City|Gaza, the main city]].

"When its footprint is overlaid onto [[New York City]], it covers an area roughly the size of [[Manhattan]], the [[Bronx]] and [[Hoboken]], [[New Jersey]], combined."<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/gaza-strip-size-us-cities-maps-1833863</ref>

The Gaza Strip is one of two predominantly Palestinian territories, the other being the [[West Bank]], which have been controlled by [[Israel]] as a result of the [[Six-Day War]] in 1967 until the [[Oslo Accords]] of 1993-95. In 2005 Israel took out all the remaining soldiers on the strip, but after the start of the [[Gaza War|2023 Gaza War]] who controls Gaza today is disputed, as Hamas still has control over it.

==History==
[[History|Historically]] the Gaza Strip was part of the land controlled by ancient [[Israel]] after the removal of the [[Philistines]]. An Islamic area since the Islamic conquest of the 7th century, it was controlled by the British after [[World War I]] and was to be a part of an independent "Palestinian" state in 1948 based upon a UN partition, but the first Arab-Israeli War saw Israel take most of the region that would have made the Arab state and Egypt absorbed the Gaza Strip, which overflowed with refugees from the war. In 1967 Israel overran the area in the [[Six Day War]] and administered the region. They built settlements, but these never attracted many people and only 10,000 Israelis lived there by 2005 among the Arab residents. The Israeli government withdrew, with strong objections from the settlers, leaving the area under the control of the [[Palestinian Authority]]. In 2007, [[Hamas]] overran the Palestinian Authority and took ''de facto'' control for themselves.

==Christians in Gaza Strip==
[[File:Orthodox Christians in Gaza Strip.jpg|thumbnail|Greek [[Orthodox Christian|Orthodox Christians]] in the Gaza Strip.]]
The Arab Palestinians are roughly 94% Muslim. 89% of Christians in Gaza are Greek Orthodox while 9.3% are Catholic and 1.52% belongs to other denominations.<ref name=GreekReporter>{{cite web|url=https://greekreporter.com/2014/08/11/struggling-christian-minority-in-gaza/|title=Struggling Christian Minority In Gaza|date=August 11, 2014|publisher=Greek Reporter}}</ref>

At least since 2012, Gaza Christians sense pressure to convert to Islam

2019 report cited "Islamic oppression" as the main source of persecution at Christian small minority of Arab Palestinians.<ref name=jp25dec2019>[https://www.jpost.com/opinion/the-christian-crisis-612032 A Christian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank], The Jerusalem Post, Dec 25, 2019.
 
In the Gaza Strip, the Christian population has plummeted from about 3,000 a decade ago to an estimated 1,000 today, most of them Greek Orthodox.

<blockquote> ...
“Though the Christians in the PA avoid saying so publicly, many of them fear – with good reason – that Muslim aggression against them will only escalate,” wrote Edy Cohen, a researcher at the center. “Such fears are all the stronger in light of the thunderous silence of the Western [and Israeli] media, in the face of the Christian minority’s ongoing disappearance from the PA and Islamic lands in general.”

He added, pointedly, that “the ongoing international neglect of the plight of the Christians under PA rule can only lead to the vanishing of Christianity from the place where it emerged.”

In the Gaza Strip, the Christian population has plummeted from about 3,000 a decade ago to an estimated 1,000 today, most of them Greek Orthodox...

The situation of Christians in Bethlehem has deteriorated dramatically in the last century, and especially since the PA took control of the city in 1995. In 1947, Christians comprised about 85% of the city’s population, but that figure had plunged to 16% by 2016, and is estimated since then.

Bethlehem’s mayor at the time said that, “Due to the stress – either physical or psychological – and the bad economic situation, many people are emigrating: either Christians or Muslims, but it is more apparent among Christians because they already are a minority.”

A study by the Pew Research Center found that the decline in the Arab Christian population was both a result of a lower birth rate among Christians compared to Muslims and the fact that Christians were more likely to emigrate than any other religious group. A statistical analysis of the Christian exodus cited a lack of economic and educational opportunities among a community known for its middle-class status and higher education.</blockquote/></ref>

Since the 2007 Israel blockade of Gaza, Christians have not being able to visit Holy Sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, having the same struggle as other Gaza inhabitants. This has led many to hold extreme positions "which does not differentiate between race and religion", warns a report from the Young Men’s Christian Association.<ref name=GreekReporter/>

== Hostilities in late 2008-present ==
Terrorists are still attacking Israel from the Gaza strip with missiles. In response to this, Israel is bombarding the strip in order to prevent more threats to its population on the border. On January 3, 2009 Israel has started a ground campaign in Gaza. It was preceded by an artillery barrage to soften the border so Israeli troops could cross safer. The campaign was against Hamas targets and Israel never had any plans to reoccupy the land. Hamas, rather than stop firing rockets into Gaza has begun sabre rattling and stated that they will kidnap and kill invading Israeli soldiers and cause mental illness from the horrors they will bring them. They have also stated that they will begin suicide attacks again.[https://www.onenewsnow.com/Headlines/Default.aspx?id=372854]

==Today==
A very poor and desolate area, the residents of the area live in poverty and squalor due to the control of their daily lives by Hamas and blockades enforced by Israel and Egypt. The Strip is not self-sufficient and counts on outside aid, but Hamas takes most foreign aid for itself to manufacture more bombs and rockets. There is continued friction with Israel with home made rockets being fired by the Gaza residents and occasional open fighting. Hamas does not recognize Israel's right to exist. The Strip has been the source of many suicide missions against Israel as well Kasam rocket fire against the settlements and towns of southern Israel.

Israel controls the Gaza strip’s airspace and offshore maritime access, in order to prevent more materials being given to Hamas terrorists.

Sometimes the racism is expressed nonverbally through looks.

Some tell of discriminatory experiences growing up.
Racist taunts toward Gaza’s African minority are not uncommon, despite centurieslong African migration to Palestine.<ref name=almonitor2013>Asmaa al-Ghoul, "[https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2013/11/black-palestinians-suffer-racism.html Black Palestinians shrug off racism], Al Monitor, November 4, 2013.
<blockquote>
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — “Hey, chocolate,” “Hey, cappuccino,” “Hey, Galaxy [brand of chocolate],” “Hey, brown one” and “Hey, black one,” are jocular expressions used by some in Gaza when a man, woman or child of African descent passes by. Sometimes the racism is expressed nonverbally through looks. Gazans, however, seem unaware of this racism.

Al-Monitor met with political activist Samah al-Rawagh, 33, at her home and asked her whether she experienced any discrimination due to her skin color. She made light of the matter. Yet, when her father Ahmad al-Rawagh, 80, recounted incidents he had experienced involving racism, Samah was shocked. “That’s the first time I’ve heard such stories from you,” she said.

“I struggled a lot to overcome the difficulties caused by the color of my skin. I always had to doubly prove myself at school, at work and in life, because I’m dark-skinned,” Ahmad said...

Ahmad remembers when he was a teacher in the late 1950s, and one of his colleagues invited everyone, except him, to a wedding. “That day, I felt embarrassed, and I decided that no one in my family would go through such an experience,” he said...

Samah agreed with her father and added, “I never felt that the color of my skin made me different from others. I always had the best toys and clothing. I studied in a private school, and I felt that people liked me. Sometimes, I heard comments that bothered me, but this is the first time I’ve heard about my father’s suffering.”

Samah did not deny that she has been hearing more discriminatory words recently, but she denied that it is about hate. “I hear phrases such as ‘Hey, Galaxy.’ But I sometimes feel that it’s banter, rarely for the purpose of harassing me,” she said...

"Africans first entered Palestine during the Islamic conquests, specifically when Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab entered Jerusalem, accompanied by a number of Africans. African communities from Chad, Nigeria, Sudan and Senegal came in the late 19th century, either for worship or to participate in the resistance," Bakhit noted in an interview with Al-Monitor.

According to Gaza Through History, a book by Ibrahim Sakik, wealthy families in the Gaza Strip participated in the slave trade hundreds of years ago. Another book, Delighting in the Wealth of Gaza's History, notes that some of the residents of the Palestinian village of Berbera were dark-skinned people who came from Morocco.

The "black neighborhood"

Next to the Rawagh family’s home there is an entire area on Jala Street inhabited by dark-skinned Gazans. The people and taxi drivers refer to it as the “black neighborhood” or the “dark-skinned neighborhood."

Mohammed Abu Rashed, 13, who is a talented soccer player and dreams of becoming like Lionel Messi, recounted his experience to Al-Monitor. “At school, they say ‘Hey, chocolate,’ but I don’t pay attention to them.” His friend Ahed, 17, interrupted and said, “Liar. We do get bothered.” ...

Abed al-Rawagh, 21, who works at a grocery store at the neighborhood’s entrance, told Al-Monitor that racism affects his business. “I don’t feel discriminated against until a white girl or woman comes to buy from the grocery store. As soon as she sees me, she changes her mind about buying and leaves. There’s a widespread belief that a black man would harm her. That offends me.”..

Bakhit, who lives in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, recalled an incident with one of the security services in Gaza after the split in 2007. “The policeman looked inside a taxi and ordered the two dark-skinned men inside, us, to step out. So my brother and I stepped out, and we headed to the search location. After they made sure that we weren’t suspects, we went back to the car. I felt very insulted. The driver asked me why. I told him ‘It seems we are now in Chicago!'”</blockquote></ref>

Security forces have been recently (2017) very harsh on black Palestinians. Like selecting them out for further security checks.<ref name=gn2017>"[https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/black-palestinians-face-subtle-racism-in-gaza-1.2018514 Black Palestinians face subtle racism in Gaza]." Ahmed Alnaouq, Special to Gulf News. May 05, 2017.<blockquote>

Obaid, who believes his ancestors came from Sudan, says he has to work twice as hard to prove himself.

Gaza: Black Palestinians constitute a minority of one per cent of the total population of the two million inhabitants living in Gaza Strip.

While its is difficult to accurately pin their exact origins, many say they came from Ghana, Sudan and Egypt — or at least that’s what has been passed down through their oral history.

Many first came to Palestine during the Islamic conquests as slaves to serve their owners in the seventh century.

It is also reported that another wave of Africans emigrated to Palestine in the late 19th century to work as merchants or fighters under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Despite their deep roots in Palestine, many still encounter racism and discrimination, although it is to a much less degree as how poorly people of colour are treated in other countries — particularly the US.

Mohammad Obaid, 26, a folklore dancer and founder of the Dabke Club for children, thinks his ancestors originally came from Sudan.

“My grandparents worked as merchants in 1948 areas, which is considered Beersheba in Israel today..."

At least 11,000 black Palestinians live in Al Jalla’a district of Gaza in a neighbourhood called “Al Abeed” which means slaves in Arabic...

Although there is no official discriminatory policy against black Palestinians, Obaid says that subtle racism makes his life more difficult than lighter skinned Palestinians.

“If I wasn’t the best dancer, I wouldn’t be on the Dabke team,” he said.

“I always have to prove myself twice as much as others.”

Many black Palestinians are not considered for jobs that require direct communication or interaction with customers.

The majority of Palestinians do not marry black Palestinians, although recently there have been some changes in mentality.

“Where I live, people accept to marry black Palestinians, but in other areas it is strictly forbidden,” he said.

It is worse for black Palestinian women — while dark-skinned men may be able to marry light-skinned Palestinians, the reverse is mostly not accepted.

“I knew a couple who were in love but the father of the would-be groom threatened to renounce him in the newspapers. Sadly, they separated,” he said.

And Obaid says the security forces have been recently very harsh on black Palestinians.

When the cops pulled him and his friends over recently, he was the only one from the passengers pulled out for further security checks.

He took his anger out by writing a poem directed at the police entitled “Blacks are not security suspects”...

“The police treatment has gotten worse, so for the first time I thought about leaving.”

But for Karama, a 34-year-old Palestinian woman, who has a black father and white mother, race has never gotten in the way of her success.

“I personally haven’t experienced any discrimination,” she told Gulf News.

“Blacks are sometimes preferred by some organisations who seek diversity.”

Karama has participated and led many different social work initiatives and ceremonies, but she acknowledges that having a white mother could be the reason.

“I know in other areas of Gaza, people are not as accepting.”</blockquote></ref>

==Attitudes towards black Israelis==
Reporter (in 2019) 'The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them.' A "slave" as they see them.<ref>[https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/Article-706884 "The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them"], Maariv Online, 05/07/2019.<blockquote> [https://images.maariv.co.il/image/upload/f_auto,fl_lossy/c_fill,g_faces:center,w_690/532630]
[Soldier at Qalandiya checkpoint, archive (photographers have nothing to do with what is said in the article) (Photo: Flash 90)]

Commentator Zvika Yehezkeli referred to the way Ethiopians protested in the Arab and Palestinian media: "A Gaza worker told me he could not accept that a slave would check on me."

... In general the whole matter of the dark-skinned in the Arab countries and also in Islam is a huge story of its own. "... Abd - slave in Arabic - an inferior slave who is bought is black, dark-skinned."

You told me that you came across this this week when you were in Gaza and met workers from Gaza there.

"True. First of all I also met it in the territories but this week I got it really strong. I came to Gaza with Alon Ben David, we did an article in the envelope to mark five years to the war. Put him in the Kerem Shalom crossing. In this crossing there is the part where Israel unloads the goods The Palestinian forklifts from Gaza. I asked them to let me in their part to talk to them as freely as possible. It is difficult for them to really say what they think about the Gaza government. When the camera went down on the floor they spoke more freely. Mine is near Ashkelon I will go back there and it will be okay, you are fine. I told him but you always want to send us to places where our parents came, to Iraq. He says to me 'I have no problem with you, I have a problem with Ethiopians and Russians. "And I can not accept that a slave will examine me."

I mean he can not have an Ethiopian soldier be in position and check on him?

"Yes. Islam from its inception and even before Islam, all Arab signs would buy black slaves in Africa. The color black is an inferior color in Islamic society."

So what does it do to him when an Ethiopian soldier stands in front of him?

"Oh ... do you know what he told me? 'I can not stand this thing. This is for me the greatest humiliation I get - that you put an Ethiopian soldier.' Look how much this social stratification of colors is imprinted, and so it was in Africa. Today in Africa - the horrific massacre in Darfur was among those who are less dark-skinned and darker-skinned. The word slave is black in Arabic. Even the word crembo is the head of Africans, blacks because crembo is dark. Western countries will stop stopping the slave trade. "The color black is perceived as inferior, and the thing that drives them crazy the most is us with Ethiopian soldiers checking them out and it really drives them crazy."</blockquote></ref>

<blockquote>
Ninety-eight percent of respondents said the Oct. 7 slaughter made them feel "prouder of their identity as Palestinians."

Slightly more than three in four Palestinians have a positive view of Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 slaughter in Israel, according to a survey by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) research firm.

The Ramallah-based institute polled 668 Palestinian adults in the southern Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria between Oct. 31 and Nov. 7. (The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, AWRAD said.)

The Palestinian poll, the first of its kind since the Oct. 7 attacks, found that 48.2% of respondents characterize Hamas’s role as “very positive,” while 27.8% view Hamas as “somewhat positive.” Almost 80% regard the role of Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades “military” wing as positive.

The Al-Qassam Brigades killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and wounded thousands in the Oct. 7 attack on southwestern Israel. In addition, terrorists took some 240 people hostage.

When asked whether they support or oppose Hamas’s actions on Oct. 7, 59.3% of the Palestinians surveyed said they “extremely” supported the attacks and 15.7% said they “somewhat” support the murderous rampage.

Only 12.7% expressed disapproval, with 10.9% saying they neither support nor oppose the attack.

Almost all (98%) of the respondents said the Oct. 7 slaughter made them feel “prouder of their identity as Palestinians,” with an equal percentage saying they would “never forget and never forgive” the Jewish state for its ongoing military operation against Hamas.

Three-quarters said they expect the Israel-Hamas war to end in a Palestinian victory.

In response to the question “What would you like as a preferred government after the war is finished in Gaza Strip,” 72% said they favor a “national unity government” that includes Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction.

Approximately 8.5% said they favor a government controlled by the Palestinian Authority.

In addition, more than 98% of Palestinians surveyed by AWRAD hold negative views of the United States.

On Nov. 8, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Gaza must be handed over to the P.A. following hostilities. The solution in “must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority,” stated Blinken.

During an Oct. 18 visit to Tel Aviv, U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a speech in which he claimed that “Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.”

AWRAD said that “the poll’s sample includes all socioeconomic groups, ensuring equal representation of adult men and women, and is proportionately distributed across the West Bank and Gaza.”</blockquote></ref>

'''Christopher Charles "Fredo" Cuomo''' is a television host at NewsNation. He is a son of [[Mario Cuomo]], the former Governor of [[New York]] and the brother of [[Andrew Cuomo]], who resigned in disgrace as governor of New York in a series of sexual harassment scandals. Chris Cuomo has faced his own charges of sexual improprieties with co-workers.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/09/24/chris-cuomo-accused-of-sexually-harassing-ex-boss-at-2005-party/</ref> Chris Cuomo became liberal since at least around Trump's presidential

Cuomo, who began his career at CNN in 2013,<ref>https://onmilwaukee.com/articles/CuomoCNN</ref> had been CNN's top anchor with fewer than one million nightly viewers.

Cuomo was fired from CNN on December 4, 2021; the reason given for his firing was his illicit and unethical use of his journalism contacts to shield his brother Andrew Cuomo against allegations of sexual assault made against him by the latter's female staffers.<ref name="Cuomo fired"/>

However, Chris Cuomo faced sexual misconduct accusation before CNN fired him - unrelated to Gov. Andrew Cuomo matrer. CNN fired Chris days after a lawyer for a former colleague accused the host of sexual misconduct.<ref>Michael M.

CNN Fires Chris Cuomo Amid Inquiry Into His Efforts to Aid His Brother

The network said it had “terminated him, effective immediately,” a move that came days after a lawyer for a former colleague accused the host of sexual misconduct.

... On Wednesday, Debra S. Katz, a prominent employment lawyer informed CNN of a client with an allegation of sexual misconduct against Chris Cuomo. Ms. Katz said in a statement on Saturday that the allegations against the anchor, which was made by a former junior colleague at another network was "unrelated to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo matter."
[...]
Ms. Katz said her client "came forward because she was disgusted by Chris Cuomo's on-air statements in response to the allegations made against his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo."</blockquote></ref>

His last segments were dedicated to non-contributing repetition that "we don't know" about the new [[Covid]] variant and obsessed about defending arch bigot, racist [[The Squad|Squad]] member [[Ilhan Omar]] from a joke by Rep.

==John Griffen==
CNN producer John Griffen, who claimed he worked “shoulder-to-shoulder” with Cuomo, was taken into custody by the FBI which acted after a grand jury delivered an indictment that Griffen used [[social media]] to “communicate with people purporting to be parents of minor daughters” in order to try to “persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive.” Details emerged from an unsealed indictment including that he “sexually trained girls as young as 7 years old” and advised a mother that her 14-year-old daughter “would be a good candidate for such training.”

In June of 2020, Griffin advised a mother of 9- and 13-year-old daughters that the mother’s responsibility was to see that her older daughter was “trained properly.” Griffin later transferred over $3,000 to the mother for plane tickets so the mother and her 9-year-old daughter could fly from Nevada to Boston’s Logan airport. The mother and child flew to Boston in July of 2020, where Griffin picked them up in his Tesla and drove them to his Ludlow house. At the house, the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity.

Griffin worked at CNN for nine years, many of them during Cuomo’s stint on “New Day.”<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/12/14/sick-details-emerge-in-indictment-of-cnn-producer-who-claimed-to-work-shoulder-to-shoulder-with-cuomo-1175478/</ref>

His brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is often referred to as [[Fredo the Elder]].

After Fredogate, Cuomo was displeased with the not guilty verdict in the [[Kyle Rittenhouse]] self-defense case. Rittenhouse shot three leftist rioters who threatened him with severe debilitating injuries and potential life-threatening harm; two of the aggressors died while the third was permanently disabled. This, hypocritically coming from a pro-violence news anchor who threatened to beat people up. Cuomo added "... too many other kids get in trouble for way less." The hypocrite added that [[liberal redefinition|he has a problem with the current definition of self-defense]].<ref>[https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/11/27/says-the-guy-who-threatens-to-beat-people-up-a-lot-chris-cuomo-is-unhappy-with-self-defense-definition-1168453/ ‘Says the guy who threatens to beat people up a lot’: Chris Cuomo is unhappy with self-defense definition]</ref>

COVID-19

2024-01-16T18:55:23Z

Tumelo: /* Blood-clotting */

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market.

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

Thus every participant had natural immunity.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm Reduced Risk of Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 After COVID-19 Vaccination — Kentucky, May–June 2021], ''CDC'', Aug 13, 2021</ref> Natural immunity provides greater protection against Covid than vaccination.<ref>[https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/15/ron-desantis/fact-checking-desantis-covid-19-natural-immunity/ People who “have recovered (from COVID-19) have very strong immunity.”], ''Politifact'', Sept 13, 2021</ref>

===Vaccine Efficacy===
During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." He also claimed that "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in the ICU unit, and you're not going to die". These claims were false.<ref>[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-if-vaccinated-wont-get-covid/ Did Biden Say You Won't Get COVID if You're Vaccinated?], ''Snopes'', Nov 8, 2021</ref> The initial clinical trials showed no reduction in deaths<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFph7-6t34M&t=15546s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee – 9/17/2021], ''U.S. Food and Drug Administration'', Sept 17, 2021</ref> and in March 2022, an average of 261 fully vaccinated people died of COVID each week according to [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] data.<ref>[https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-compare-covid-deaths-for-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-people/ How to Compare COVID Deaths for Vaccinated and Unvaccinated People], ''Scientific America'', June 7, 2022</ref>

===Hospitalizations===
False COVID-19 hospitalization numbers were reported by the CDC and amplified by the U.S. media. Rather than reporting the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, they reported numbers of all people hospitalized for any reason that tested positive for COVID-19, even if they were asymptomatic.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/defining-covid-hospitalization-numbers-235039871.html Defining Covid hospitalization numbers], ''yahoo News'', Jan 9, 2022</ref>

===Deaths===
Similar to hospitalizations, the CDC reported inflated numbers of Covid-19 deaths. Those who died while Covid-positive, but died from unrelated causes were included in the COVID-19 death count.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/status/1681101810831093760 Kevin Bass PhD MS], July 17, 2023</ref>.

The CDC illegally changed counting guidelines for counting COVID-19 deaths. The previous counting method remained un-updated for 17 years and remained in affect for all causes of deaths other than COVID-19. The new counting standards resulted in a substantial increase in COVID-19 deaths according to a study published in the Journal of Science, Public Health Policy, and Law.<ref>[https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/peer-reviewed-study-claims-cdc-skewed-ccp-virus-fatalities-upward-3741614 CDC Skewed CCP Virus Fatalities Higher, Peer-Reviewed Study Claims], ''The Epoch Times'', March 19, 2021</ref> It has been estimated that COVID-19 was as deadly as a bad flu season-twice as bad at worst.<ref>[https://peckford42.wordpress.com/2021/03/09/covid-is-not-a-hoax-but-the-numbers-are-a-look-at-the-first-flu-season-with-covid COVID is not a hoax, but the numbers are: A look at the first flu season with COVID], ''Brian Peckford'', March 19, 2021</ref>

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) mandates its members be [[atheists]] (see: [[China and atheism]] and [[Atheism and communism]] and [[militant atheism]] and [[State atheism]]).<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref><ref>[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''</ref>

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets. Photos show what the markets look like.]", ''Business Insider''</ref>

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

==Misinformation==

===Natural Immunity===

In October 2021 CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, claimed on air that a study showed that those with natural immunity were twice as likely to get infected than those who have been vaccinated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZTN5NkxmQ&t=512s Watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta go one-on-one with podcaster Joe Rogan], ''CNN'', Oct 14, 2021</ref> This appears to be based on a misleading headline on a [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] release, which was titled "New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection], ''CDC'', Aug 6, 2021</ref> The focus of the study, however, was the risk of reinfection.

===Vaccine Efficacy===
During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

===Hospitalizations===
False COVID-19 hospitalization numbers were reported by the CDC and amplified by the U.S. media. Rather than reporting the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, they reported numbers of all people hospitalized for any reason that tested positive for COVID-19, even if they were asymptomatic.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/defining-covid-hospitalization-numbers-235039871.html Defining Covid hospitalization numbers], ''yahoo News'', Jan 9, 2022</ref>

===Deaths===
Similar to hospitalizations, the CDC reported inflated numbers of Covid-19 deaths. Those who died while Covid-positive, but died from unrelated causes were included in the COVID-19 death count.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/status/1681101810831093760 Kevin Bass PhD MS], July 17, 2023</ref>.

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

As of March 27, 2020, the most successful doctor treating coronavirus patients is [[Vladimir Zelenko]], M.D. as none of his 699 patients have died or have required intubations whereas 1.5% of U.S. coronavirus patients die.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSHM1TK5tM Vladimir Zelenko: Important March 27, 2020 update regarding my coronavirus treatment regimen]</ref> See: [[Vladimir Zelenko's coronavirus treatment]]

[[President Donald Trump]] expressed optimism that Dr. Zelenko's treatment could be expanded to meet the threat of the deadly disease during the national emergency.

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets. Photos show what the markets look like.]", ''Business Insider''</ref>

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

==Misinformation==

===Natural Immunity===

In October 2021 CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, claimed on air that a study showed that those with natural immunity were twice as likely to get infected than those who have been vaccinated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZTN5NkxmQ&t=512s Watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta go one-on-one with podcaster Joe Rogan], ''CNN'', Oct 14, 2021</ref> This appears to be based on a misleading headline on a [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] release, which was titled "New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection], ''CDC'', Aug 6, 2021</ref> The focus of the study, however, was the risk of reinfection. Thus every participant had natural immunity.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm Reduced Risk of Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 After COVID-19 Vaccination — Kentucky, May–June 2021], ''CDC'', Aug 13, 2021</ref> Natural immunity provides greater protection against Covid than vaccination.<ref>[https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/15/ron-desantis/fact-checking-desantis-covid-19-natural-immunity/ People who “have recovered (from COVID-19) have very strong immunity.”], ''Politifact'', Sept 13, 2021</ref>

===Vaccine Efficacy===
During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." He also claimed that "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in the ICU unit, and you're not going to die".

===Hospitalizations===
False COVID-19 hospitalization numbers were reported by the CDC and amplified by the U.S. media. Rather than reporting the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, they reported numbers of all people hospitalized for any reason that tested positive for COVID-19, even if they were asymptomatic.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/defining-covid-hospitalization-numbers-235039871.html Defining Covid hospitalization numbers], ''yahoo News'', Jan 9, 2022</ref>

===Deaths===
Similar to hospitalizations, the CDC reported inflated numbers of Covid-19 deaths. Those who died while Covid-positive, but died from unrelated causes were included in the COVID-19 death count.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/status/1681101810831093760 Kevin Bass PhD MS], July 17, 2023</ref>.

The CDC illegally changed counting guidelines for counting COVID-19 deaths. The previous counting method remained un-updated for 17 years and remained in affect for all causes of deaths other than COVID-19.

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen.

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market.

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

Rather than reporting the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, they reported numbers of all people hospitalized for any reason that tested positive for COVID-19, even if they were asymptomatic.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/defining-covid-hospitalization-numbers-235039871.html Defining Covid hospitalization numbers], ''yahoo News'', Jan 9, 2022</ref>

===Deaths===
Similar to hospitalizations, the CDC reported inflated numbers of Covid-19 deaths. Those who died while Covid-positive, but died from unrelated causes were included in the COVID-19 death count.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/status/1681101810831093760 Kevin Bass PhD MS], July 17, 2023</ref>. Only 6% of COVID-19 deaths were from COVID-19 alone.<ref>[https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/new-cdc-report-shows-94-of-covid-19-deaths-in-us-had-underlying-medical-conditions/ New CDC report shows 94% of COVID-19 deaths in US had contributing conditions], ''Fox 8'', Aug 30, 2020</ref>. The CDC illegally changed counting guidelines for counting COVID-19 deaths. The previous counting method remained un-updated for 17 years and remained in affect for all causes of deaths other than COVID-19. The new counting standards resulted in a substantial increase in COVID-19 deaths according to a study published in the Journal of Science, Public Health Policy, and Law.<ref>[https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/peer-reviewed-study-claims-cdc-skewed-ccp-virus-fatalities-upward-3741614?utm_source=morningbrief&utm_medium=email&email=jrdn.cttr@gmail.com&utm_campaign=mb-2021-03-20 CDC Skewed CCP Virus Fatalities Higher, Peer-Reviewed Study Claims], ''The Epoch Times'', March 19, 2021</ref>

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) mandates its members be [[atheists]] (see: [[China and atheism]] and [[Atheism and communism]] and [[militant atheism]] and [[State atheism]]).<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref><ref>[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''</ref>

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===

One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S.

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID-19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occasions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen.

On February 6, 2020, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020, that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan's Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

Abbas’ advisor: “Allah is liable to bring down punishment on everyone, on all the people who are silent facing injustice, agree with injustice, and defend the oppressors… I think that today we are seeing the realization of this… '''All of humanity'''… is being included in one punishment, in this disaster [of the Coronavirus]… Is there a greater injustice than the injustice directed against us?</blockquote></ref>
==Biden's "achievement"==
Biden's LIE OF THE THE YEAR 2021: ‘I Will Shut Down The Virus.’ Not fun fact however: the grim milestone: Biden's COVID-19 death count passes 400K.<ref>Andrew Stiles, [https://freebeacon.com/?p=1551060 LIE OF THE THE YEAR: ‘I Will Shut Down The Virus’], Washington Free Beacon, December 23, 2021.
<blockquote>
Biden's COVID-19 death count passes 400K.

More than 400,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 since President Joe Biden took office.
Biden achieved the grim milestone despite repeatedly telling the American people that electing him president was the only way to "shut down the virus." That turned out to be an egregious lie.

The Washington Free Beacon projects that Biden's COVID-19 death toll will exceed that of his predecessor (408,450) by the end of the year, and will reach approximately 420,069 by the time he delivers his first State of the Union address.</blockquote></ref>

===Natural Immunity===

In October 2021 CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, claimed on air that a study showed that those with natural immunity were twice as likely to get infected than those who have been vaccinated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZTN5NkxmQ&t=512s Watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta go one-on-one with podcaster Joe Rogan], ''CNN'', Oct 14, 2021</ref> This appears to be based on a misleading headline on a [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] release, which was titled "New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection], ''CDC'', Aug 6, 2021</ref> The focus of the study, however, was the risk of reinfection.

===Vaccine Efficacy===
During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson told Fox News,
{{quotebox|“Rachel Maddow’s success was a one-trick pony. That trick was Trump-Russia conspiracy theories on an [[Alex Jones]] level of crazy. After the Mueller report, Maddow’s decline was inevitable. He got a respite due to [[impeachment sham|impeachment hysteria]], but now that that too has passed, there’s no reason for anyone except the [[far left|hardcore left]] to watch her. His decline could be permanent unless some other political paranoid delusion draws people back to her.”<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/rachel-maddows-ratings-continue-to-tank-at-msnbc/</ref>}}
[[Media Research Center]] Vice President Dan Gainor also told [[Fox News]],
{{quotebox|“I think this is a battle of extreme idiocy and that favors [[CNN]]. Maddow has two strikes against him — he tends to be wonky and he lost a lot of [[leftist]] support when he was massively wrong about Russia.

==Obama appointed McFaul's tweet==
In Mar 2022, at [[Russia-Ukraine war]], MSNBC's [[Rachel Maddow]] Show removed tweet of guest's Hitler claim after Auschwitz Memorial proves it false. The inaccurate tweet was by Michael McFaul, Obama's appointed Ambassador to the Russian Federation. It claimed a Hitler comparison (besides the uniqueness of evil Hitler), falsely claiming Hitler didn't kill his own people, Germans.<ref>Joseph A. Wulfsohn , "[https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-guest-hitler-putin-ethnic-germans-ambassador-mcfaul MSNBC guest torched for 'rehabbing Hitler' during Putin talk; claims Hitler 'didn't kill ethnic Germans']", Fox News, Mar 12, 2022.<blockquote>Michael McFaul was blasted for making an 'insanely false claim' about the Nazi dictator</blockquote></ref>
It was pointed out that:<ref>Yael Halon , "MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show removes tweet of guest's Hitler claim after Auschwitz Memorial proves it false", ''Fox News'', Mar 12, 2022.
<blockquote>
'Rachel Maddow Show' deletes segment of guest after he was criticized by Auschwitz Memorial for claiming Putin more of a killer than Hitler.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show account on Twitter was forced to delete a segment of a guest comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler after it was fact-checked by the Auschwitz Memorial.

Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum Replying to @MaddowBlog:

On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'. He ordered the murder of people with different disabilities & finally the murder of German Jewry.

[https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1502636091584745475 8:22 AM · Mar 12, 2022]

By late Saturday, the show had taken down the post, and issued a correction emphasizing that contrary to what McFaul asserted, Hitler did indeed kill "millions of Germans."</blockquote></ref> On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'.

==Obama appointed McFaul's tweet==
In Mar 2022, at [[Russia-Ukraine war]], MSNBC's [[Rachel Maddow]] Show removed tweet of guest's Hitler claim after Auschwitz Memorial proves it false. The inaccurate tweet was by Michael McFaul, Obama's appointed Ambassador to the Russian Federation. It claimed a Hitler comparison (besides the uniqueness of evil Hitler), falsely claiming Hitler didn't kill his own people, Germans.<ref>Joseph A.

'Rachel Maddow Show' deletes segment of guest after he was criticized by Auschwitz Memorial for claiming Putin more of a killer than Hitler.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show account on Twitter was forced to delete a segment of a guest comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler after it was fact-checked by the Auschwitz Memorial.

Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum Replying to @MaddowBlog:

On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'. He ordered the murder of people with different disabilities & finally the murder of German Jewry.

[https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1502636091584745475 8:22 AM · Mar 12, 2022]

By late Saturday, the show had taken down the post, and issued a correction emphasizing that contrary to what McFaul asserted, Hitler did indeed kill "millions of Germans."</blockquote></ref> On a factual note: Hitler did kill ethnic Germans & German-speaking people: those who opposed the Nazi regime, those who resisted, those who did not fit into the 'Weltanschauung'.

COVID-19

Tumelo: /* Vaccine Efficacy */ remove extra period

<center>''See also [[coronavirus]].''</center>
'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also, unfortunately, called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from Covid 19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occassions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) mandates its members be [[atheists]] (see: [[China and atheism]] and [[Atheism and communism]] and [[militant atheism]] and [[State atheism]]).<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref><ref>[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''</ref>

The CCP tried to cover up the emergence of the COVID-19 which prevented the pandemic being contained in its early stages.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

As of March 27, 2020, the most successful doctor treating coronavirus patients is [[Vladimir Zelenko]], M.D. as none of his 699 patients have died or have required intubations whereas 1.5% of U.S. coronavirus patients die.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSHM1TK5tM Vladimir Zelenko: Important March 27, 2020 update regarding my coronavirus treatment regimen]</ref> See: [[Vladimir Zelenko's coronavirus treatment]]

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020 scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}
China's leftwing censors however deleted the content.<ref>https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3831465/posts</ref>

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019 Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020 Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019 the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020 the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020 Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020 that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref> https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan’s Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020 the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020 stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets. Photos show what the markets look like.]", ''Business Insider''</ref>

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

===Natural Immunity===

In October of 2021 CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, claimed on air that a study showed that those with natural immunity were twice as likely to get infected than those who have been vaccinated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZTN5NkxmQ&t=512s Watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta go one-on-one with podcaster Joe Rogan], ''CNN'', Oct 14, 2021</ref> This appears to be based on a misleading headline on a [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC]] release, which was titled "New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection], ''CDC'', Aug 6, 2021</ref> The focus of the study, however, was the risk of reinfection.

'''[[Coronavirus]] disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also, unfortunately, called Chinese Virus, Wuhan Virus, [[Kung Fu|kung flu]],<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the CCP flu), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]'s ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from Covid 19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occassions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.{{fact}}

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

As of March 27, 2020, the most successful doctor treating coronavirus patients is [[Vladimir Zelenko]], M.D. as none of his 699 patients have died or have required intubations whereas 1.5% of U.S. coronavirus patients die.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSHM1TK5tM Vladimir Zelenko: Important March 27, 2020 update regarding my coronavirus treatment regimen]</ref> See: [[Vladimir Zelenko's coronavirus treatment]]

[[President Donald Trump]] expressed optimism that Dr. Zelenko's treatment could be expanded to meet the threat of the deadly disease during the national emergency. Several [[Democrat]] governors subsequently issued [[executive order]]s banning the treatment.<ref>https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2020/03/democrats-fear-cure.html</ref> On March 30, 2020, the [[Food and Drug Administration]] granted expedited approval of [[hydroxychloroquine]] nationwide for treatment of COVID-19.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/29/fda-emergency-authorization-anti-malaria-drug-155095</ref> [[War on science|Anti-science]] [[Democrat]] governors however, showing no regard for the lives of their people, resisted the FDA approved treatment.

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

On February 6, 2020 scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019 Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020 Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019 the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020 the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020 Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020 that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref> https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan’s Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020 the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020 stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets. Photos show what the markets look like.]", ''Business Insider''</ref>

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

'''Coronavirus disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called '''Chinese Virus''', '''Wuhan Virus''', '''kung flu'''<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the '''[[CCP flu]]'''), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is 1.2%.<ref>[https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality John Hopkins, 6 April, 2022]</ref> By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref> Nearly 1 million Americans have died.<ref>John Hopkins</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus and “Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021”.<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] FDA</ref> Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]' ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2022. [[Herd immunity]] will probably develop and enable the world to survive. The following basic habits are highly recommended for persons wishing to survive this global [[pandemic]]: handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, not touching the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits
The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended. According to the politicized [[CDC]], over 800,000 Americans have died from Covid 19<ref>[https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine] Centre for Disease Control (CDC).</ref> and more than 5,500,000 worldwide.<ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/] Worldmeters</ref> The U.S. CDC has revised its definitions and reporting on several occassions since early 2020. Statistics from the United States and the [[Peoples Republic of China]] are highly suspect for valid scientific ananlysis.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen.

On February 6, 2020 scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019 Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020 Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market.

Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019 the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020 the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020 Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established".<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020 that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref> https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan’s Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020 the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020 stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

He endorsed [[Bernie Sanders]] during the [[2020 Democrat primary]]. The endorsement was accepted by Sanders, but some supporters expressed concern<ref>https://people.com/politics/joe-rogan-bernie-sanders-endorsement-controversy/</ref>. Rogan would later vote for Libertarian candidate [[Jo Jorgensen]] instead<ref>https://sharecaster.com/2020/11/05/joe-rogan-reveals-who-he-voted-for/</ref>. In 2022, a video resurfaced of Joe Rogan comparing a black neighborhood to Planet of the Apes<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/ron-desantis-joe-rogan-shouldnt-165021974.html</ref>.

Because of this, he is popular among many conservatives; however, he describes himself as socially liberal<ref>https://heavy.com/news/joe-rogan/politics-socially-liberal/</ref>, and supports [[homosexual "rights"]], [[feminism]], [[universal health care]], recreational use of [[drugs]] and [[marijuana]].

==Podcast controversy==

Rogan was widely criticized for giving [[Twitter]] CEO [[Jack Dorsey]] a softball interview.<ref>https://cloverchronicle.com/2019/02/04/joe-rogan-exposed-popular-podcaster-is-secretly-funded-by-twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-and-george-soros/</ref><ref>https://archives.infowars.com/twitter-ceo-appears-on-joe-rogan-show-gets-ratioed-over-censorship-policies/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mBBiSvCUjs</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhrpFaBag3g</ref>

<blockquote>
Everyone knows the double standard is in place. It is taken for granted so much that people barely remark upon it anymore. When someone who dissents from the Leftist agenda offends Leftist sensibilities, his or her career is ruined for good. Remember Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and a host of others. Now the Left has Joe Rogan in its sights for daring to dissent from COVID orthodoxy and has suddenly discovered that years ago, he used a racial slur. Spotify has removed over a hundred of his podcasts, and the end is not in sight. But if someone who is reliably Leftist says something that offends the self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion, the punishment is slight at best, as we have just seen with Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension for Holocaust denial (which doesn’t really bother the hard Left, but they have to keep up some semblance of an attachment to truth and basic decency). And if the offending speaker is a member of a group with enough victimhood privilege, he or she won’t be punished at all, as the career of Mehdi Hasan indicates.

Mehdi Hasan is a hate-filled far-Left MSNBC host who espouses fashionable Big Lies such as the claim that “white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party” and “the far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.” During the Whoopi Goldberg controversy, remarks that Hasan made in 2009 resurfaced, leading many to question why Hasan’s star has consistently risen in the Leftist media, despite his manifest hatred and contempt for non-Muslims.
Hasan, a Shi’ite, said of the early Sunni caliph Yazid: “All of these ulama unanimously agree that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir [unbeliever] — then at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother.”

'''Jacob Paul “Jake” Tapper''' (born March 12, 1969 (age {{age|1969|3|12}})) is the host of [[CNN]]'s ''The Lead'' and Sunday ''State of the Union'' . The shows feature and promote [[Democrat]] talking points and [[propaganda]] which it refers to as "news" to its viewers.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/13/watch-jake-tapper-prove-hes-more-of-a-partisan-hack-than-an-actual-democrat-senator/</ref> Critics refer to him as Fake Yapper or Tapp Jaker<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viZJuCtkILM Tapp Jaker Suddenly Realizes Biden Is A Terrible Candidate]</ref>. Reports indicate that Tapper's producer for ''State of the Union'', Rick Saleeby, was accused of soliciting nude photographs of underage girls on [[social media]]. As of December 2021, Saleeby had not been fired nor had CNN responded to press inquiries.<ref>https://youtu.be/hQLXesFRxLc</ref> The scandal came on the heels of the arrest of another CNN producer for [[grooming]] young girls for sexual abuse, the re-hiring of [[Jeff Toobin]] who was suspended for masturbating in public while on a Zoom chat, the firing of [[Chris Cuomo]] for attempting to intimidate victims of his brother, [[Democrat]] Gov. [[Andrew Cuomo]]'s sexual abuse as well as allegations of Chris Cuomo's own personal sexual misconduct toward co-workers, and [[homosexual]] sexual assault accusations against CNN anchor [[Don Lemon]].

Tapper took the lead in promoting the [[Trump-Russia conspiracy theory]] based on illegal [[leak]]s he received from [[Obama]] [[DNI]] [[James Clapper]].

According to a [[Breitbart]] exclusive on September 6, 2020, Tapper tried to convince GOP House candidate Sean Parnell not to run against incumbent [[liberal]] [[Democrat]] [[Conor Lamb]] in 2020.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/06/exclusive-jake-tapper-attempted-to-convince-gops-sean-parnell-to-run-in-different-district-than-against-democrat-conor-lamb/ Exclusive — Jake Tapper Attempted to Convince GOP’s Sean Parnell to Run in Different District than Against Democrat Conor Lamb]</ref> A poll later showed a dead heat in the House race.<ref>https://twitter.com/SeanParnellUSA/status/1306687876680294404</ref>

Sometime before January 6, 2017, [[DNI]] [[James Clapper]] briefed opposition research talking points, manufactured by the Clinton campaign in the ''[[Steele dossier]]'', to Jake Tapper of CNN. The salacious innuendo lacked verification and a " news hook" for CNN to report, so Clapper instructed [[FBI]] Director [[James Comey]] to brief President-elect Trump on the allegations. Clapper immediately leaked the fact Trump had been briefed, creating the "news hook" CNN was looking for to publicize the existence of the ''Steele dossier''.

Rachel Maddow

2022-01-18T03:39:58Z

Tumelo: changed He to She (funny mistake, but mistake none-the-less)

[[File:Maddow Trump Russia.jpg|rigt|300px|thumb|Rachel Maddow Nets $30 Million Annually in New MSNBC Deal (Report).<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rachel-maddow-nets-30-million-170143455.html</ref>]]
'''Rachel Maddow''' (born 1973) is an American media personality and [[Trump-Russia]] [[conspiracy theorist]]. She currently is a news anchor for [[MSNBC]]. During the [[covid pandemic]], Maddow once again proved herself a purveyor of lies and unscientific covid misinformation.<ref>https://youtu.be/qWLc8dHW0T4</ref>

A rabid anti-[[Trump]] fanatic, Maddow once was a critic of "[[outsourcing]]" and unfair trade deals that have destroyed the American [[middle class]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040124061734/http://alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=17601 The Dark Side of the Outsourcing Revolution,] By Naeem Mohaiemen, AlterNet, January 23, 2004.</ref><ref>[http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081107105607AA41xPq Does Outsourcing Create Racism?] Yahoo Answers.</ref><ref>[http://theweek.com/article/index/207509/is-outsourced-racist Is 'Outsourced' racist?

What he claimed would happen, which he reported as if it were "fact," was thoroughly debunked by the report that no [[collusion]] or obstruction of justice was found.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/03/24/special-counsel-investigation-finds-no-collusion-with-russia/ Special Counsel Investigation Finds No Trump Collusion with Russia] at Breitbart News Network</ref>

In September 2017, [[conservative]] [[Sean Hannity]] had his show moved to the 9 pm EDT time slot, putting him in direct competition with Maddow. Hannity has received much higher ratings than him, despite his rise in ratings pushing the Russia collusion hoax since early 2017.<ref>Schwartz, Jason (September 29, 2017). [https://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/29/sean-hannity-rachel-maddow-ratings-243307 Hannity beats Maddow in first week of 9 p.m. showdown]. ''Politico''.

Maddow has a bachelor's degree from [[Stanford University]], and earned a doctorate from [[Oxford University]] as a [[Rhodes Scholar]]. He previously worked for [[Al Gore]] and [[Al Franken]]'s now-defunct [[Air America]] radio network. Maddow is one of the few openly [[lesbian|homosexual]] personalities in the mainstream news media. Maddow frequently makes crude sexual innuendos in reference to the [[Tea Party Movement|Tea Party]]. Like almost everyone at the MSNBC network, he has a secular worldview and uses his position in the media to advance his morally bankrupt [[homosexual agenda]]. In 2010, some liberal [[Democrat]]s circulated rumors that Maddow might be drafted to run for the [[US Senate]] contest in Massachusetts for the 2012 election against [[Republican]], [[Scott Brown]].<ref>[http://www.universalhub.com/2010/walshgate-how-come-top-mass-dem-couldnt-hook-rache]</ref> Maddow has exploited the tragedies suffered by families and victims of the [[September 11, 2001 terror attacks]] to promote [[socialism]].<ref>Maddow: "How about we get together as Americans and agree to get health care for the heros of 9/11."

[http://www.livedash.com/transcript/the_rachel_maddow_show/5304/MSNBC/Thursday_September_9_2010/294079/]</ref> Maddow openly derides [[Conservative values]] and the [[Republican Party]]. As a self-described "commie lib", Maddow has not been known to criticize any extreme leftists or agenda.

Maddow is a critic of [[David Koch]] and [[Charles Koch]].<ref>https://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/paranoid-style-liberal-politics_555525.html?page=3</ref> However, he refuses to admit the [[liberal hypocrisy]] inherent in calling them out while ignoring similar actions by MSNBC parent company [[Comcast]] and myriad other groups.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/367762/rachel-maddows-koch-addled-world-msnbc-funding-tea-party-too-andrew-johnson</ref>

==Conspiracy Theories==

Maddow has used his show to promulgate a number of conspiracy theories including:
[[File:Madcow.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Years after the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was exposed, debunked, and dismissed as the hoax that it was, Maddow continued trying to justify his slipshod and biased reporting.<ref>https://youtu.be/ewRYHkTZ-K4</ref>]]

Maddow, MSNBC, Comcast Corporation and NBC Universal were sued by [[OANN]] for [[defamation]] and $10 million in damages when Maddow said on the air in July 2019 that OANN “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”<ref>https://lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/conservative-network-files-10-million-defamation-lawsuit-against-rachel-maddow-and-msnbc/</ref>

==''"Have you no decency ma'am, at long last?"''==
Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson told Fox News,
{{quotebox|“Rachel Maddow’s success was a one-trick pony. That trick was Trump-Russia conspiracy theories on an [[Alex Jones]] level of crazy. After the Mueller report, Maddow’s decline was inevitable. He got a respite due to [[impeachment sham|impeachment hysteria]], but now that that too has passed, there’s no reason for anyone except the [[far left|hardcore left]] to watch her. His decline could be permanent unless some other political paranoid delusion draws people back to her.”<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/rachel-maddows-ratings-continue-to-tank-at-msnbc/</ref>}}
[[Media Research Center]] Vice President Dan Gainor also told [[Fox News]],
{{quotebox|“I think this is a battle of extreme idiocy and that favors [[CNN]]. Maddow has two strikes against him — he tends to be wonky and he lost a lot of [[leftist]] support when he was massively wrong about Russia. Even the left has the standard of wanting their pundits not to make them look bad."}}

COVID-19

2022-01-13T22:29:35Z

Tumelo: add alt name

<center>''See [[coronavirus]] for a more substantive explanation.''</center>
'''Coronavirus disease 2019''', or '''COVID-19''' (also called '''Chinese Virus''', '''Wuhan Virus''', '''kung flu'''<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/504224-trump-again-refers-to-coronavirus-as-kung-flu Trump again refers to coronavirus as 'kung flu']</ref> and the '''CCP flu'''), is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of the [[coronavirus]] (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) identified as originating in [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17], Josephine Ma, 13 Mar, 2020. www.scmp.com</ref> The outbreak turned into a [[pandemic]], reaching every continent on the planet by March 2020. Genetic mapping suggests that the Wuhan virus is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome [[SARS-CoVid-1|(SARS) of 2002 and 2003]] as well as to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) of 2012 to the present. COVID-19 is considered highly infectious with an estimated basic reproduction number (R0) of 2.2. The mortality rate is described as considerably less than 1 percent in people under 65. By comparison, the mortality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.1 percent, SARS was 9 to 10 percent, and MERS was 36 percent.<ref name="Fauci">Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., "[https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted]," ''New England Journal of Medicine'', March 26, 2020.</ref> The numbers hospitalized due to Covid have been exaggeraged.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/</ref>

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus escaped from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

A great deal of research is being conducted on this virus. The first vaccine candidates will enter phase 1 trials by early spring 2020. Therapy is currently limited to supportive care. Medication in current use include the antiviral drugs lopinavir–ritonavir, interferon-1β, the dangerous and expensive RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, and [[hydroxychloroquine]].<ref name="Fauci" />

Because of the [[virus]]' ability to replicate exponentially it is difficult to calculate the total number of people infected, as well as a definitive mortality rate. Quantifying total infections is hampered by the number of test kits available, as well as trained personnel to interpret the results of a novel, previously unknown, virus. The exponential rate of infections can overwhelm healthcare facilities and healthcare givers. With only experimental treatments available for a previously unknown virus, experts recommend persons with symptoms remain home so as to not infect others, or even if your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 you could become infected at hospitals where carriers likely are present.

Many carriers of the virus show no symptoms at all, and may never show symptoms. Social distancing, remaining at least 6 feet away from other people, is recommended to avoid infection and for an untested, [[asymptomatic]] (showing no symptoms) carrier to avoid spreading the virus. Each survivor of the virus must build immunity through antibodies. Therefore, the size of a person's initial exposure to the virus is crucial.

Ultimately, experts have stated, some 80% of the planet will be exposed to the infection between 2019 and 2021. [[Herd immunity]] eventually will develop in the human species to survive against the infection. Until a widespread vaccine becomes available in later 2020 or in 2021, practicing such basic habits as handwashing, social distancing, wearing masks to avoid spreading or catching the infection, avoid touch the mucus membranes of your mouth, nose, and eyes, and other sanitary habits are highly recommended for persons who chose to survive this global [[pandemic]].

The virus has the ability to survive on surfaces, such as door knobs, money, tables, floors, etc. Maintaining cleanliness and avoiding contact with surfaces commonly used by the general public is also recommended.

World leaders actively hope that COVID-19 can lead to [[The Great Reset]], and are even openly calling for it in the news.

== Atheistic, Chinese Communist Party and the COVID-19 pandemic ==

''See also:'' [[Atheism and the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic]]

The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) mandates its members be [[atheists]] (see: [[China and atheism]] and [[Atheism and communism]] and [[militant atheism]] and [[State atheism]]).<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref><ref>[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''</ref>

The CCP tried to cover up the emergence of the COVID-19 which prevented the pandemic being contained in its early stages.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>

China allowed thousands of COVID-19 infected people leave China during the early stage of the pandemic when the world was not aware of it.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-china-confronting-chinese-communist-party/ To Confront China After Coronavirus, We Must See the Bigger Picture], National Review</ref>

''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

President Trump is now taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a prophylactic (preventitive measure), though he first checked with his personal physician that it was safe to do so (people with heart conditions should not take hydroxychloroquine).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsfqJ1TkgP0 Donald Trump says he takes hydroxychloroquine drug for Covid-19]</ref>

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==
:{{See also|CCP pandemic coverup}}
Chinese students researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page.

===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===
CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref>Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]], blasted Sen.

On February 6, 2020 scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of Coronavirus:
{{quotebox|The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>}}

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019 Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020 Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confesion read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019 the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref>https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020 the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020 Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is." 

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!" 
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles." 
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!" 

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon Gain of Function research in Wuhan===
:{{See also|Gain of function}}
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The State Department issued a report in 2019 stating "''Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established"''.<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>


====Dr. Anthonly Fauci and the NIAID====
As head of the NIAID, [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] doles out millions of dollars in research grants. Fauci approved a grant for gain of function research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The grant was not approved by a mandatory oversight board.<ref>Also known as P3CO or Potential Pandemic Preparedness Care and Oversight. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

Fauci was informed on February 1, 2020 that the covid virus was a bioweapon manufactured in the WIV laboratory. As the nation's top health advisor, Fauci did not inform the president of the United States, nor anyone in the [[Department of Health and Human Services]] or the Center for Disease Control. Fauci's initial reaction was to cover up the fact that he had funded the research that produced the virus,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/03/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal/</ref> and the fact that the research had not been approved by the oversight board. Fauci arranged a teleconference with 11 virologists who were recipients of grant money from Fauci outside of government, who then, in turn, issued papers and statements denying that the virus originated in a laboratory.<ref> https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/14/dr-faucis-emails-tell-the-story-of-panic-lies-and-a-possible-cover-up/</ref>

[[File:Covid 19 bioweapon.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Leaked Chinese document.]]
====Peoples Liberation Army====

According to leaked documents, COVID-19 was created in a laboratory by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and fine-tuned as a bioweapon. It was specifically designed to be highly contagious, but often [[asymptomatic]], have low lethality, but produce uncontrollable variants and possessing characteristics providing plausible deniability as a bioweapon.

According to [[Chinese military doctrine]], such bioweapons are used prior to a declaration of war for political or international strategic needs, where the use of which can be denied. The intent, according to leaked documents, being: "Even if the academic evidence, virological evidence, and animal experiment data could possibly prove (that the virus comes from the lab), we can just deny it, stop (investigation), suppress (scholars), make sure the international organizations and honest people’s work is futile.”

A fully formed sample of COVID-19 was ready for testing in early 2019, while a parallel [[vaccine]] program was underway.

Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were chosen to participate in non-human primate (monkeys) transmission testing, simulated coronavirus release and response exercises such as at Wuhan’s Tianhe airport in September 2019 and an actual test release of COVID-19 at the 2019 Military World Games from October 18–27, 2019.<ref>https://ccnationalsecurity.org/more-evidence-leaked-from-china-on-the-deliberate-release-of-covid-19-by-the-chinese-military/</ref>

===Early cover story===
:{{See also|CCP propaganda war}}
On January 23, 2020 the Wuhan virus exploded. While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020 stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese fake news narrative and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

Biden's LIE OF THE THE YEAR 2021: ‘I Will Shut Down The Virus.’ Not fun fact however: the grim milestone: Biden's COVID-19 death count passes 400K.<ref>Andrew Stiles, [https://freebeacon.com/?p=1551060 LIE OF THE THE YEAR: ‘I Will Shut Down The Virus’], Washington Free Beacon, December 23, 2021.
<blockquote>
Biden's COVID-19 death count passes 400K.

More than 400,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 since President Joe Biden took office.
Biden achieved the grim milestone despite repeatedly telling the American people that electing him president was the only way to "shut down the virus." That turned out to be an egregious lie.

The Washington Free Beacon projects that Biden's COVID-19 death toll will exceed that of his predecessor (408,450) by the end of the year, and will reach approximately 420,069 by the time he delivers his first State of the Union address.</blockquote></ref>

Jeffrey Dahmer

Tumelo: Add better ref for atheist claim

[[File:Jeffrey Dahmer Milwaukee Police 1991 mugshot.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|The [[serial killer]] Jeffrey Dahmer was an [[atheism|atheist]].<ref>[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1sv4ky_serial-killer-jeffrey-dahmer-blames-atheism-and-evolution-belief-for-murders_news Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer blames Atheism and Evolution belief for Murders]</ref> See: [[Atheism and cannibalism]] ]]
'''Jeffrey Dahmer''' (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994) wasa serial killer who engaged in [[cannabalism]] and he was an [[atheism|atheist]]<ref>[https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/september/34.125.html Jeffrey Dahmer's Story of Faith]</ref>when he committed these acts.<ref>[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1sv4ky_serial-killer-jeffrey-dahmer-blames-atheism-and-evolution-belief-for-murders_news Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer blames Atheism and Evolution belief for Murders]</ref> After his last victim escaped and notified authorities, they found a gruesome scene at his apartment: the remains of 11 of his murdered victims. He was sent to prison for the rest of life, and killed in jail. Dahmer was especially unnerving for the general public because, far from looking crazed, he was actually attractive.

According to adherents.com, "Jeffrey Dahmer's homosexuality ... [was] not unusual among serial killers. ... Other well known homosexual or bisexual serial killers include Andrew Cunanan, [[John Wayne Gacy]], Patrick Wayne Kearney, Gilles de Rais, Randy Steven Kraft, Michael Swango, Andrei Chikatilo, David D. Hill, Wayne Williams, Larry Eyler, Henry Lee Lucas, Fritz Haarmann, and dozens more."<ref>http://www.adherents.com/people/pd/Jeffrey_Dahmer.html</ref>

Dahmer, after being discharged from the military for excessive drinking in 1981, released him to [[Miami|Miami Beach]], [[Florida]], where he spent a short amount of time in a hospital until he was kicked out for his excessive [[alcoholism]]. He later moved in with his grandmother in [[Wisconsin]] for six years, where his crimes began. In 1988, his grandmother asked him to move out because she couldn't stand his late night ventures and foul smells coming from the basement. He then found an apartment in [[Milwaukee]], where he continued his crimes. Between 1988 and 1991, Dahmer had been sentenced for multiple crimes, including exposing himself to children, and was a registered [[sex offender|sexual offender]]. One of Dahmer's victims, a 14-year-old adolescent named Konerak Sinthasomphone, temporarily escaped, bleeding and naked and was found by police, but Dahmer conned the officers into believing everything was fine (including lying about the boy's age, claiming he was 19) and Sinthasomphone was returned to him in spite of the protests of the three women accompanying the boy, who had first contacted the police regarding his condition. Dahmer killed Sinthasomphone the next day.

==Imprisonment==
Following his arrest in the summer of 1991 after reaching a pace of killing nearly one person a week, police investigated Dahmer's apartment and discovered photos, human remains, and body parts positioned in the form of a "[[shrine]]". Evidence and a later confession by Dahmer revealed he had engaged in necrophilia and [[cannibalism]]. See also: [[Atheism and cannibalism]]

With overwhelming amounts of evidence against Dahmer in court, his only option was to plead not guilty by reason of [[insanity]]. The courts found him sane and sentenced him to roughly 957 years in prison. After the hearing, Dahmer expressed remorse, and had wished for his own death.

While serving time at Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, Dahmer, who had not been in a church since he was five, began to review religious material sent to him by his father's friend Roy Ratcliff and said he made an admission of his sins and accepted [[Christ]] as his savior. Ratcliff, a local preacher, met with his son and agreed to [[baptism|baptize]] him. Shortly thereafter, Dahmer was attacked by an inmate in the prison [[chapel]], but suffered only minor wounds.

==Death==
On November 28, 1994, Dahmer and another fellow inmate, Jesse Anderson, were both [[club|bludgeon]]ed to death by another inmate, Christopher Scarver, with a bar from a weight machine while on work detail. Both inmates died from the attack; Dahmer died en route to the hospital from severe [[trauma|head trauma]].

His mother wanted his brain to be donated for research, but Jeffrey Dahmer himself had insisted on being [[cremation|cremated]]. Applying applicable law, a judge held that Dahmer's desire to be cremated should prevail.

Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Conservative Personalities

2022-01-07T21:13:19Z

Tumelo: put better reference before less useful reference

[[File:Hannahgiles.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hannah Giles]]
[[Image:Schlafly phyllis.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Phyllis Schlafly]]
This article lists examples of [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia|Bias in Wikipedia]], as it relates to Conservative Politicians and Personalities:
#On November 2, 2006, days before the mid-term Congressional elections, an anonymous IP address traced to the ''[[New York Times]]'' changed [[U.S. House of Representatives]] [[Majority Leader]] [[Tom DeLay]]'s Wikipedia biographical entry from "a prominent member of the [[Republican Party]]" to "Grand Dragon of the Republican Party."<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_DeLay&diff=prev&oldid=85320018 Wikipedia/Tom DeLay, Revision as of 20:19, 2 November 2006, IP 199.181.174.146]</ref><ref>[http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=New+York+Times&location= WikiScanner]</ref>[dead link]
# Wikipedia has thousands of obscure pages for individuals that the public never heard of or recognize. Conservative undercover journalist [[Hannah Giles]] is not given her own page mostly likely due to the fact she has taken on the liberal establishment and won. A search of Hannah Giles gives her an obscure paragraph in what Wikipedia titles the ''ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy''. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Giles#Hannah_Giles_and_James_O.27Keefe]
# On June 21, 2012, an IP added an allegation to the biography of [[Bob Livingston]] saying that he was a "part of a broad criminal conspiracy involving Turkish operatives and Representatives Dennis Hastert, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Bob Livingston, Stephen Solarz, and Tom Lantos."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Livingston&diff=prev&oldid=498647198</ref> This remained in the article until 2013.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Livingston&diff=prev&oldid=556359990</ref>
# For [[liberal]] politicians, Wikipedia uses flattering photos. But for [[conservative]] politician [[Sally Kern]], about whom [[homosexual]] activists have had a sissy fit, from 2009 to 2011, Wikipedia used an absurd, uncharacteristic photo.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_February_26#File:Sally_Kern_2009.jpg</ref>
#Amid the [[libel]] controversy against [[Rush Limbaugh]] during his bid to purchase an NFL team, the [[St. Louis Rams]], Newsbusters revealed the false quote's Web source appeared to be from [[Wikipedia]].<ref>[https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=112839 Limbaugh: Media 'scum' lying about fake racist quotes], WND, October 13, 2009.</ref> The quote has been removed and replaced several times since 2005. And the Wikipedia entry did not provide a transcript link to Limbaugh's show with the citation, because the quote did not exist but was part of a bias strategy by Wikipedia to label Limbaugh a racist. While the talk host criticized the website that bills itself as an "online encyclopedia," Wikipedia editors were busy discussing their strategy for handling the controversy.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rush_Limbaugh#Legal_threat</ref> It was later revealed that the quotes were added by a highly controversial, bias user with the IP address of 69.64.213.146.<ref>[https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/10/the_search_for_the_wikipedia_l.html The Search for the Wikipedia Libelist (important update)], American Thinker, October 21, 2009.</ref>
#''Alma mater'' normally refers to a college that a person actually graduated from.<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alma%20mater</ref> However, at [[Wikipedia]], the biography for co-founder Jimmy Wales prominently lists two colleges he didn't graduate from as alma maters.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&oldid=272581018</ref> Conservative [[Sean Hannity]] attended but did not graduate from NYU. Wikipedia does not list NYU as Sean Hannity's alma mater. Although this exclusion is accurate, it demonstrates a [[double standard]] when comparing liberals and conservatives.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sean_Hannity&oldid=272201242</ref>
# Wikipedia tries to smear [[conservatives]] as "conspiracy theorists," even when they are not, and yet omits that epithet for [[liberals]] who insist there are vast conspiracies, such as [[Hillary Clinton]]'s claim of a "vast right-wing conspiracy." Compare Wikipedia's entry on [[Phyllis Schlafly]], which repeats a false assertion that she "veers off into conspiracy theories,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly</ref> with Wikipedia's entry on Hillary Clinton, which provides her quote of a "vast" conspiracy yet refuses to describe her as a conspiracy theorist.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton</ref> Wikipedia's entry on [[liberal]] [[Michael Moore]], the biggest conspiracy theorist of all, does not even include any reference to the word "conspiracy"!<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore</ref>
# The Wikipedia page on [[Phyllis Schlafly]] implies that she took a stance in favor of segregation in 1960, and that she used Jewish code words. The source is a ''NY Times'' book review of a book about her, but the review does not say those things. The book review criticizes the book author instead. The Wikipedia article does not identify the book reviewer as Jewish, even though the reviewer is a Jew raising a Jewish issue. A user who tried to correct these errors was blocked indefinitely from Wikipedia, and a comment was even removed from the Talk page. The Schlafly article has been repeatedly vadalized.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=449399938&oldid=448715966|author=Mooreturns|date=Sept. 9, 2011|title=Phyllis Schlafly}}</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=next&oldid=351501626</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=319693606&oldid=319410037</ref>
# The Wikipedia page on [[John Lott]], a respected conservative commentator and academic, cites supposed errors in Lott's characterization of [[liberal bias]] against gun owners in his book ''More Guns, Less Crime''. In fact, Lott's figures are accurate, and Wikipedia's sanctimonious claim of "bias" for his exposure of liberal media bias smacks of [[liberal hypocrisy]]. The rest of the entry is also filled with other unfounded smears and accusations attempting to silence his factual conservatism, characteristic of Wikipedia's [[liberal censorship]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lott#Media_bias_and_defensive_gun_use</ref>
# Despite Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neo#Neologisms policy on not including "neologisms"], the disgusting and hateful term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(neologism) Santorum] is listed on Wikipedia and ranks #2 in Google. This was a smear term specifically invented by gay rights activist [[Dan Savage]] to be derogatory of Republican [[Presidential Election 2012|Presidential candidate]] [[Rick Santorum]]. Wikipedia:Biographies of Living Persons also is said to restrict material that may cause "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Santorum harm to the subject]." The page has existed for five years, was nominated for deletion, but all the liberal editors of Wikipedia had their say, and the article has been kept. The article was also repeatedly nominated for "good article" status.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Santorum_%28neologism%29/GA1</ref>
# Wikipedia uses trivia to push its [[liberal]] icons on readers. In its first 200 words about [[conservative]] Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Wikipedia used to include the meaningless trivia that he was born on the same day as (liberal) [[Jimmy Carter]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rehnquist</ref> Yet nowhere in Carter's entry does it say he was born on the same day as Rehnquist.
# [[Wikipedia]] biographies for conservatives such as [[Rush Limbaugh]] and [[Michelle Malkin]] are usually saddled with large sections titled “controversies”. These “controversies” are often nothing but quotes or complaints by fringe [[liberal]] elements, and Wikipedia advises against such sections, but its liberal editors ensure the biased use of such sections.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Criticism&oldid=225325117</ref> However, the Wikipedia page for “Hanoi” Jane Fonda describes her obviously controversial propagandizing for the North Vietnamese government during the Vietnam War as “political activism” rather than “controversy”.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Fonda</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]] allows countless entries flattering obscure [[liberals]], but lacks many entries about leading [[conservatives]]. For example, the [[Wikipedia]] entry on pro-life leader [[Judie Brown]] was previously nothing but a redirect<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judie_Brown&redirect=no</ref> to an entry about an organization which barely mentions her.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Life_League</ref> A proper page for her has since been added.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judie_Brown</ref>
#The Wikipedia page for Republican Mark Kirk<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=263357766</ref> made no mention of the widely reported and significant fact that, as a Navy reservist, he is the first U.S. Representative since WWII to make an overseas deployment to an imminent danger area (Afghanistan).<ref>http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/il10_kirk/Kirk_Completes_Reserve_Tour.html</ref> Instead, the Wikipedia page devotes an entire section titled "contributors" that attempts to smear Kirk with tenuous associations to controversial figures because of relatively small campaign donations. A grammatically-incorrect acknowledgment of Kirk's deployment eventually appeared.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=263472629</ref> Kirk's Wikipedia page mentioned a $1,000 donation from [[Tony Rezko]],<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=268845790</ref> but Obama's page does not mention the $54,416 <ref>http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/353782,CST-NWS-rezpols23.article</ref> Rezko donation.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&oldid=272320979</ref> Only after this issue was brought up were issues corrected.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=274813568</ref>
#[[Wikipedia]] bias against [[movement conservative]]s is intense. [[Michele Bachmann]] won reelection in 2008 by 3% in a state that went heavily towards the [[Democratic Party]], but instead of crediting her [[conservative]] positions the biased Wikipedia entry states, "Despite fallout from controversial statements that she had made, Bachmann defeated her Democrat opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg in the 2008 election."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann#cite_ref-33</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[conservative]] [[Ron Paul]] smears him with unsubstantiated statements (newsletter "issues gave tactical advice to right-wing militia groups and advanced various conspiracy theories"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ron_Paul&oldid=183792833</ref>), misleading attributions of statements (Paul renounced the statements in 2001), and an overall political hatchet job ... and then locks the page to prevent correction!<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=Ron+Paul&year=&month=-1 The page was locked from January 8 to August 6, 2008]</ref>
#On July 28, 2010, the United States was listed as a "belligerent" fighting on the side of Iraq in Wikipedia's "Iran-Iraq War" article.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War&diff=375898707&oldid=375895692</ref> On July 15, 2010, [[Ronald Reagan]] was listed under "commanders and leaders" as a commander of Iraqi forces, alongside Saddam Hussein and his thugs.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War&diff=368133799&oldid=368122576</ref>
# Wikipedia smears prominent [[Conservative Christianity|Christian conservatives]], including [[James Dobson]] and [[D. James Kennedy]], with an allegation that they are part of a grand scheme Wikipedia calls "Dominionism".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism</ref> The term was made up by [[liberals]] and this conspiracy theory has no factual basis, but Wikipedia smears these [[conservatives]] with elaborate templates in their own entries depicting them as part of this fictional scheme.<ref>See, e.g., [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._James_Kennedy D. James Kennedy]</ref> This edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eagle_Forum&curid=3647552&diff=165330150&oldid=165044484] calls [[Eagle Forum]] dominionist, even though there is not even any source that says so. The Eagle Forum article now has a "criticism" section that alleges various associations with theocracy and dominionism citing various left-wing opinion web sites, but none of those sites even says that Eagle Forum supports theocracy or dominionism. One editor was blocked just for trying to fix it.
# Wikipedia's entry about the anti-[[Christian]] and anti-[[Semitic]] [[H.L. Mencken]] praises him profusely because he, Wikipedia's words, "notably assaulted America's preoccupation with [[Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] [[Christianity]]."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mencken</ref> After 3,500 words of adulation, Wikipedia then buries a concession that Mencken "has been referred to as anti-Semitic and misogynistic."<ref>''Ibid.''</ref> Wikipedians like Mencken's hostility to religion too much to admit that his biographer (Terry Teachout) and his close Jewish friend (Charles Angoff) described him as racist and anti-Semitic.<ref>http://cjrarchives.org/issues/2003/1/mencken-payne.asp</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]] uses guilt-by-association far worse than [[Joseph McCarthy]] ever did. [[Wikipedia]] smears numerous persons and organizations by giving the false impression that they are associated with the [[John Birch Society]] (JBS). Examples have included:
#* pro-life Congressman [[Jerry Costello]], merely because JBS gave him a favorable rating<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jerry_Costello&oldid=142488803</ref>
#* anti-communist Fred Schwarz, merely because JBS agreed with him<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Schwarz&oldid=143791808</ref>
#* the conservative [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]], by repeating a '''40 year old''' newspaper claim that some of its leaders once belonged to the JBS<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons</ref>
#* conservative baseball pitcher Dave Dravecky, a cancer survivor, merely because a newspaper claimed he once belonged to JBS<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dave_Dravecky&oldid=155924640</ref>
# In response to this criticism, Wikipedia removed ... only the smears against the more [[liberal]] targets, such as the ''[[Democrat]]'' [[Jerry Costello]], or the less influential entries, such as the deceased Fred Schwarz. Additionally, as of August 5, 2008, the Dravecky article no longer mentions anything about JBS.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dave_Dravecky&oldid=225907517</ref> Wikipedia left intact the smear against the AAPS. After removal of the smear against Costello, it was then reinserted before being removed again.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jerry_Costello&diff=156607328&oldid=156100194</ref>
# Wikipedia's article on the longest-serving and most powerful Maryland official in its history, [[William Donald Schaefer]], contains about 1900 words, but over two-thirds of those words (1400/1900) are devoted to silly gossip, outright vulgarity and National Enquirer-type material.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Donald_Schaefer</ref> 406 words, which is over 20% of the entire entry, is devoted to a silly dispute Schaefer had one day with the local newspaper.
#[[Wikipedia]] will give often great prominence to [[liberal]] criticism of someone, while almost never giving such prominence to [[conservative]] criticism of a [[liberal]]. For example, Wikipedia's entry for [[conservative]] [[Texas]] legislator Debbie Riddle is devoted mostly to [[liberal]] criticism of an obscure quote of hers.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Riddle</ref> But Wikipedia's entry for [[liberal]] [[Chuck Schumer]] consists of glowing praise without including any [[conservative]] criticism of him.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Schumer</ref>
# Wikipedia's entry for seven weeks about [[Thad Cochran]],<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thad_Cochran&oldid=135420256 (revised only after being exposed on Conservapedia, but then the smear was reinserted again before being removed again)</ref> a conservative Republican member of the [[U.S. Senate]], smeared him with an offensive, unsupported quotation not of Cochran, but of a Democrat Mississippi governor for whom Cochran's mother campaigned when Cochran was age 14. The unsupported quote was never spoken or endorsed by Cochran, but Wikipedia featured it near the top of Cochran's entry to mislead the reader into thinking Cochran is somehow a racist.
# Wikipedia's article about the late Senator [[John Tower]] of Texas, who moved leftward as his tenure in the Senate advanced, includes a mean-spirited story whose only point seems to be to indicate the degree of his ex-wife's bitterness toward him. The article previously spelled his wife's name incorrectly. The article was in that state since it was first inserted in May 2006<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Tower&oldid=101859325 John Tower], revision as of Jan 25</ref> and until it was corrected on January 26, 2007.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Tower&offset=20070208110937&limit=20&action=history</ref> No real encyclopedia would print such silly gossip.
# Wikipedia's presidential template for George W. Bush is a sterile presentation of his life and presidency,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:George_W._Bush</ref> but the template for Barack Obama is filled with non-notable, forgettable fluff such as links to articles about songs about him, a list of artists who support him, a Super Mario-type video game based on him and a list of places named after him.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Public_image_of_Barack_Obama</ref> (Note that there is no mention on Wikipedia of George W. Bush Elementary in Stockton, CA.<ref>http://www.google.com/search?q=%22george+w.+bush+elementary%22+stockton&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a</ref>)
#Wikipedia reported on the [[Glen Beck]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restoring_Honor_rally#Crowd_size "Restoring Honor rally"] with an emphasis on the dispute over the estimates of the size of the crowd. Although Beck claimed 500,000 attended, Wikipedia reported that "a scientific estimate placed the crowd size around 87,000, while media reports varied dramatically from tens of thousands to 500,000." In contrast, Wikipedia's coverage of the [[Jon Stewart]]/[[Stephen Colbert]] "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" merely reported "About 215,000 people attended the rally, according to aerial photography analysis by AirPhotosLive.com for CBS News." without giving any conflicting estimates.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rally_to_Restore_Sanity_and/or_Fear&oldid=504295774</ref>
#The Wikipedia article on the [[Council for National Policy]] cites to liberal sources critical of the CNP pointing out its private membership lists, closed meetings and litigation involving its tax exemption, without also citing to conservative sources that view the CNP in a more favorable light.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Council_for_National_Policy&oldid=508133295|accessdate=August 23, 2012|title=Council for National Policy}}</ref>
# Wikipedia's entries about media sources are biased towards the liberal media. In its entry on [[Fox News]], Fox's conservatism is mentioned in the first paragraph,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_news</ref> but its first paragraph on liberally slanted CNN offers no such information.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnn</ref>
#Although [[Clint Eastwood]]'s speech at the [[2012 Republican National Convention]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=933hKyKNPFQ was a clever one], Wikipedia catered to the liberal media, which hyped and mocked his speech as ridiculous and detrimental to the [[Republican Party|Republican]] cause, by creating a whole article on his appearance.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Eastwood_at_the_2012_Republican_National_Convention Wikipedia: Clint Eastwood at the 2012 Republican National Convention]</ref> Even though the famous actor already had a long section in his article on politics, Wikipedia felt it was necessary to create a whole new article to further the left's ridicule of him.
# [[Wikipedia]] entries contain [[liberal]] claims followed by citations that do not actually support the claims. For example, [[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[Michael Farris]] states that it "was speculated that Farris' close connection to [[conservative]] leaders ... alienated some voters" in his campaign for lieutenant governor,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Farris</ref> but its citation for that [[liberal]] claim actually attributes his loss to his opponent's [[television]] ads that (falsely) claimed Farris wanted "to ban children's books such as 'The Wizard of Oz', 'Rumpelstiltskin,' and 'Cinderella'."<ref>http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2519/is_n1_v15/ai_14891141</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]]'s pervasive anonymous editing vandalizes numerous [[conservative]] entries, such as that of [[pro-life]] scholar [[Mary Ann Glendon]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Ann_Glendon</ref> For nearly two weeks her entry on [[Wikipedia]] has featured the disrespectful and unsupported statement that "She is a notable pro-life feminist, and ''a fan of the Dropkick Murphys," which is a punk rock group''. [[Liberal]] editors monitor anonymous editing, but often allow attempts to embarrass [[conservatives]] to remain for a long time.
# [[Wikipedia]] often inserts bias by downplaying a [[liberal]] outrage or fallacy amid thousands of words of nearly irrelevant information. For example, no one credibly disputes that [[liberals]] forced [[Larry Summers]] to resign as president of [[Harvard]] because he dared to suggest that the under-representation of women in math, science and engineering may be due to innate differences between women and men.<ref>http://www.davisenterprise.com/articles/2007/09/14/news/114new1.txt</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19181-2005Jan18.html</ref> But the verbose entry for Larry Summers on [[Wikipedia]] implies that his obscure other positions were more important in causing his ouster.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Summers</ref>
# Conservative activist [[Larry Klayman]]'s biography on Wikipedia was repeatedly edited over a 6-month period by an editor account created only for that purpose. The result was a six-month edit war with an editor who repeatedly removed the unsubstantiated allegations taken from a legal document in his divorce case.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive764#6_month_edit_war_on_Larry_Klayman|title=6 month edit ware on Larry Klayman|accessdate=October 18, 2013}}</ref>
# During conservative Senator [[Mitch McConnell]]'s 2014 re-election campaign, someone edited his Wikipedia biography to say that he was a turtle.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2014/09/23/mcconnell-turtle-wikipedia/16120239/|title=Wikipedia swift to remove McConnell turtle entry|date=September 23, 2014|accessdate=October 6, 2014|work=USA Today}}</ref>
# On August 19, 2015, an editor edited the Wikipedia article of former White House Press Secretary and conservative-leaning commentator [[Dana Perino]] to add a section about her views on atheism. There was only one sentence in the section, taken completely out of context and out of place with the rest of the article: "Perino said atheists should leave America, stating 'they don't have to live here'".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dana_Perino&diff=676763635&oldid=670144439</ref> Several people tried to remove that section and two people tried to place the comment in context, but the editor persistently re-added that section. As of July 2016, the section has been removed.
# The Wikipedia article for U.S. Senator [[Jesse Helms]] has a strong left-leaning bias. In the section about his political and social views, the only two subsections were titled "Racism" and "Homophobia" (since corrected<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jesse_Helms&diff=708447585&oldid=708112034</ref>) with disproportionately long and detailed information about these alleged views. Additionally, Helm's article labeled him a "conspiracy theorist", despite there being no information to substantiate such a claim (since removed<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jesse_Helms&diff=726207903&oldid=724448198</ref>).
#The Wikipedia article of [[Alex Jones]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alex_Jones_(radio_host)&oldid=755574598</ref> describes the InfoWars host as follows (as of December 18, 2016): "Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio show host, documentary filmmaker, writer, and conspiracy theorist. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which airs on the Genesis Communications Network and shortwave radio station WWCR across the United States and online. His website, InfoWars.com, has been labeled a fake news website." Although InfoWars has over 3 million subscribers and was more accurate than the New York Times (currently on the verge of bankruptcy) in predicting the outcome of the 2016 election, Wikipedia has categorically labeled InfoWars as a "fake news website" in the introductory paragraph about Alex Jones. Any attempts to alter this description on Wikipedia is met with swift resistance from a cabal of left-wing administrators whose goal it is to paint Jones as an illegitimate crackpot. While attempting to challenge the claim of InfoWars as a "fake news website," User:Boab was banned indefinitely from Wikipedia (by User:The Blade of the Northern Lights <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Blade_of_the_Northern_Lights</ref> and User:Ian.thomson<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ian.thomson</ref>) for "Disruptive editing: Pushing fringe theories and displaying a belligerent BATTLEGROUND approach to disputes."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Boab&oldid=755441776</ref>
# In the Wikipedia article about President [[Donald Trump]],<ref name=trump>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump&oldid=787269818</ref> in the final sentence of the second paragraph of the introductory section in the article on President Donald Trump, this summary sentence has been flagged as "disputed – discuss": "The Russian government interfered in the election to support his candidacy.".<ref name=trump/> The article then has a section entitled "Russian interference in election" and a cross-reference to an article on this topic, but those sections are not similarly flagged. Only users with 500 edits are allowed to edit the page of the President of the United States. Also in the second sentence of the second paragraph of the introductory section in the article on President Donald Trump, there is a claim that says "many of his public statements were controversial or false" while Wikipedia articles on liberal Presidents do not make similar challenges. The article then elaborates, "Fact-checking organizations have denounced Trump for making a record number of false statements compared to other candidates. At least four major publications – ''Politico'', ''The Washington Post'', ''The New York Times'', and the ''Los Angeles Times'' – have pointed out lies or falsehoods in his statements during his campaign and after the election." with five footnotes.<ref name=trump/>
# In the Controversies section of the Wikipedia article about [[Milo Yiannopoulos]],<ref>https://web.archive.org/save/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos#Controversies</ref> , his sexuality is listed as a controversy. However, for any other self-identified gay person especially on the left, they do not do such a thing.
# In the Wikipedia article about President [[Donald Trump]]<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170805173406/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump</ref> in the final sentence of the final paragraph of the introductory section, it says, "After Trump dismissed FBI Director [[James Comey]], the Justice Department appointed his predecessor Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russia's interference in the presidential election, potential links between Russia and Trump campaign associates, and any related matters.". However, for Presidential candidates [[Hillary Clinton]]<ref>https://web.archive.org/save/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton</ref> and [[Bernie Sanders]],<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170805173635/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders</ref> who are both under FBI investigation, it does not do such a thing what so ever.

Tumelo: Slander about Ben Swann

[[File:Hannahgiles.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hannah Giles]]
[[Image:Schlafly phyllis.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Phyllis Schlafly]]
This article lists examples of [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia|Bias in Wikipedia]], as it relates to Conservative Politicians and Personalities:
#On November 2, 2006, days before the mid-term Congressional elections, an anonymous IP address traced to the ''[[New York Times]]'' changed [[U.S. House of Representatives]] [[Majority Leader]] [[Tom DeLay]]'s Wikipedia biographical entry from "a prominent member of the [[Republican Party]]" to "Grand Dragon of the Republican Party."<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_DeLay&diff=prev&oldid=85320018 Wikipedia/Tom DeLay, Revision as of 20:19, 2 November 2006, IP 199.181.174.146]</ref><ref>[http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=New+York+Times&location= WikiScanner]</ref>[dead link]
# Wikipedia has thousands of obscure pages for individuals that the public never heard of or recognize. Conservative undercover journalist [[Hannah Giles]] is not given her own page mostly likely due to the fact she has taken on the liberal establishment and won. A search of Hannah Giles gives her an obscure paragraph in what Wikipedia titles the ''ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy''. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Giles#Hannah_Giles_and_James_O.27Keefe]
# On June 21, 2012, an IP added an allegation to the biography of [[Bob Livingston]] saying that he was a "part of a broad criminal conspiracy involving Turkish operatives and Representatives Dennis Hastert, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Bob Livingston, Stephen Solarz, and Tom Lantos."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Livingston&diff=prev&oldid=498647198</ref> This remained in the article until 2013.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Livingston&diff=prev&oldid=556359990</ref>
# For [[liberal]] politicians, Wikipedia uses flattering photos. But for [[conservative]] politician [[Sally Kern]], about whom [[homosexual]] activists have had a sissy fit, from 2009 to 2011, Wikipedia used an absurd, uncharacteristic photo.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_February_26#File:Sally_Kern_2009.jpg</ref>
#Amid the [[libel]] controversy against [[Rush Limbaugh]] during his bid to purchase an NFL team, the [[St. Louis Rams]], Newsbusters revealed the false quote's Web source appeared to be from [[Wikipedia]].<ref>[https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=112839 Limbaugh: Media 'scum' lying about fake racist quotes], WND, October 13, 2009.</ref> The quote has been removed and replaced several times since 2005. And the Wikipedia entry did not provide a transcript link to Limbaugh's show with the citation, because the quote did not exist but was part of a bias strategy by Wikipedia to label Limbaugh a racist. While the talk host criticized the website that bills itself as an "online encyclopedia," Wikipedia editors were busy discussing their strategy for handling the controversy.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rush_Limbaugh#Legal_threat</ref> It was later revealed that the quotes were added by a highly controversial, bias user with the IP address of 69.64.213.146.<ref>[https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/10/the_search_for_the_wikipedia_l.html The Search for the Wikipedia Libelist (important update)], American Thinker, October 21, 2009.</ref>
#''Alma mater'' normally refers to a college that a person actually graduated from.<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alma%20mater</ref> However, at [[Wikipedia]], the biography for co-founder Jimmy Wales prominently lists two colleges he didn't graduate from as alma maters.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&oldid=272581018</ref> Conservative [[Sean Hannity]] attended but did not graduate from NYU. Wikipedia does not list NYU as Sean Hannity's alma mater. Although this exclusion is accurate, it demonstrates a [[double standard]] when comparing liberals and conservatives.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sean_Hannity&oldid=272201242</ref>
# Wikipedia tries to smear [[conservatives]] as "conspiracy theorists," even when they are not, and yet omits that epithet for [[liberals]] who insist there are vast conspiracies, such as [[Hillary Clinton]]'s claim of a "vast right-wing conspiracy." Compare Wikipedia's entry on [[Phyllis Schlafly]], which repeats a false assertion that she "veers off into conspiracy theories,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly</ref> with Wikipedia's entry on Hillary Clinton, which provides her quote of a "vast" conspiracy yet refuses to describe her as a conspiracy theorist.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton</ref> Wikipedia's entry on [[liberal]] [[Michael Moore]], the biggest conspiracy theorist of all, does not even include any reference to the word "conspiracy"!<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore</ref>
# The Wikipedia page on [[Phyllis Schlafly]] implies that she took a stance in favor of segregation in 1960, and that she used Jewish code words. The source is a ''NY Times'' book review of a book about her, but the review does not say those things. The book review criticizes the book author instead. The Wikipedia article does not identify the book reviewer as Jewish, even though the reviewer is a Jew raising a Jewish issue. A user who tried to correct these errors was blocked indefinitely from Wikipedia, and a comment was even removed from the Talk page. The Schlafly article has been repeatedly vadalized.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=449399938&oldid=448715966|author=Mooreturns|date=Sept. 9, 2011|title=Phyllis Schlafly}}</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=next&oldid=351501626</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phyllis_Schlafly&diff=319693606&oldid=319410037</ref>
# The Wikipedia page on [[John Lott]], a respected conservative commentator and academic, cites supposed errors in Lott's characterization of [[liberal bias]] against gun owners in his book ''More Guns, Less Crime''. In fact, Lott's figures are accurate, and Wikipedia's sanctimonious claim of "bias" for his exposure of liberal media bias smacks of [[liberal hypocrisy]]. The rest of the entry is also filled with other unfounded smears and accusations attempting to silence his factual conservatism, characteristic of Wikipedia's [[liberal censorship]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lott#Media_bias_and_defensive_gun_use</ref>
# Despite Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neo#Neologisms policy on not including "neologisms"], the disgusting and hateful term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(neologism) Santorum] is listed on Wikipedia and ranks #2 in Google. This was a smear term specifically invented by gay rights activist [[Dan Savage]] to be derogatory of Republican [[Presidential Election 2012|Presidential candidate]] [[Rick Santorum]]. Wikipedia:Biographies of Living Persons also is said to restrict material that may cause "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Santorum harm to the subject]." The page has existed for five years, was nominated for deletion, but all the liberal editors of Wikipedia had their say, and the article has been kept. The article was also repeatedly nominated for "good article" status.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Santorum_%28neologism%29/GA1</ref>
# Wikipedia uses trivia to push its [[liberal]] icons on readers. In its first 200 words about [[conservative]] Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Wikipedia used to include the meaningless trivia that he was born on the same day as (liberal) [[Jimmy Carter]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rehnquist</ref> Yet nowhere in Carter's entry does it say he was born on the same day as Rehnquist.
# [[Wikipedia]] biographies for conservatives such as [[Rush Limbaugh]] and [[Michelle Malkin]] are usually saddled with large sections titled “controversies”. These “controversies” are often nothing but quotes or complaints by fringe [[liberal]] elements, and Wikipedia advises against such sections, but its liberal editors ensure the biased use of such sections.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Criticism&oldid=225325117</ref> However, the Wikipedia page for “Hanoi” Jane Fonda describes her obviously controversial propagandizing for the North Vietnamese government during the Vietnam War as “political activism” rather than “controversy”.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Fonda</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]] allows countless entries flattering obscure [[liberals]], but lacks many entries about leading [[conservatives]]. For example, the [[Wikipedia]] entry on pro-life leader [[Judie Brown]] was previously nothing but a redirect<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judie_Brown&redirect=no</ref> to an entry about an organization which barely mentions her.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Life_League</ref> A proper page for her has since been added.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judie_Brown</ref>
#The Wikipedia page for Republican Mark Kirk<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=263357766</ref> made no mention of the widely reported and significant fact that, as a Navy reservist, he is the first U.S. Representative since WWII to make an overseas deployment to an imminent danger area (Afghanistan).<ref>http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/il10_kirk/Kirk_Completes_Reserve_Tour.html</ref> Instead, the Wikipedia page devotes an entire section titled "contributors" that attempts to smear Kirk with tenuous associations to controversial figures because of relatively small campaign donations. A grammatically-incorrect acknowledgment of Kirk's deployment eventually appeared.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=263472629</ref> Kirk's Wikipedia page mentioned a $1,000 donation from [[Tony Rezko]],<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=268845790</ref> but Obama's page does not mention the $54,416 <ref>http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/353782,CST-NWS-rezpols23.article</ref> Rezko donation.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&oldid=272320979</ref> Only after this issue was brought up were issues corrected.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Kirk&oldid=274813568</ref>
#[[Wikipedia]] bias against [[movement conservative]]s is intense. [[Michele Bachmann]] won reelection in 2008 by 3% in a state that went heavily towards the [[Democratic Party]], but instead of crediting her [[conservative]] positions the biased Wikipedia entry states, "Despite fallout from controversial statements that she had made, Bachmann defeated her Democrat opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg in the 2008 election."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann#cite_ref-33</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[conservative]] [[Ron Paul]] smears him with unsubstantiated statements (newsletter "issues gave tactical advice to right-wing militia groups and advanced various conspiracy theories"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ron_Paul&oldid=183792833</ref>), misleading attributions of statements (Paul renounced the statements in 2001), and an overall political hatchet job ... and then locks the page to prevent correction!<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=Ron+Paul&year=&month=-1 The page was locked from January 8 to August 6, 2008]</ref>
#On July 28, 2010, the United States was listed as a "belligerent" fighting on the side of Iraq in Wikipedia's "Iran-Iraq War" article.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War&diff=375898707&oldid=375895692</ref> On July 15, 2010, [[Ronald Reagan]] was listed under "commanders and leaders" as a commander of Iraqi forces, alongside Saddam Hussein and his thugs.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War&diff=368133799&oldid=368122576</ref>
# Wikipedia smears prominent [[Conservative Christianity|Christian conservatives]], including [[James Dobson]] and [[D. James Kennedy]], with an allegation that they are part of a grand scheme Wikipedia calls "Dominionism".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism</ref> The term was made up by [[liberals]] and this conspiracy theory has no factual basis, but Wikipedia smears these [[conservatives]] with elaborate templates in their own entries depicting them as part of this fictional scheme.<ref>See, e.g., [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._James_Kennedy D. James Kennedy]</ref> This edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eagle_Forum&curid=3647552&diff=165330150&oldid=165044484] calls [[Eagle Forum]] dominionist, even though there is not even any source that says so. The Eagle Forum article now has a "criticism" section that alleges various associations with theocracy and dominionism citing various left-wing opinion web sites, but none of those sites even says that Eagle Forum supports theocracy or dominionism. One editor was blocked just for trying to fix it.
# Wikipedia's entry about the anti-[[Christian]] and anti-[[Semitic]] [[H.L. Mencken]] praises him profusely because he, Wikipedia's words, "notably assaulted America's preoccupation with [[Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] [[Christianity]]."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mencken</ref> After 3,500 words of adulation, Wikipedia then buries a concession that Mencken "has been referred to as anti-Semitic and misogynistic."<ref>''Ibid.''</ref> Wikipedians like Mencken's hostility to religion too much to admit that his biographer (Terry Teachout) and his close Jewish friend (Charles Angoff) described him as racist and anti-Semitic.<ref>http://cjrarchives.org/issues/2003/1/mencken-payne.asp</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]] uses guilt-by-association far worse than [[Joseph McCarthy]] ever did. [[Wikipedia]] smears numerous persons and organizations by giving the false impression that they are associated with the [[John Birch Society]] (JBS). Examples have included:
#* pro-life Congressman [[Jerry Costello]], merely because JBS gave him a favorable rating<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jerry_Costello&oldid=142488803</ref>
#* anti-communist Fred Schwarz, merely because JBS agreed with him<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Schwarz&oldid=143791808</ref>
#* the conservative [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]], by repeating a '''40 year old''' newspaper claim that some of its leaders once belonged to the JBS<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons</ref>
#* conservative baseball pitcher Dave Dravecky, a cancer survivor, merely because a newspaper claimed he once belonged to JBS<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dave_Dravecky&oldid=155924640</ref>
# In response to this criticism, Wikipedia removed ... only the smears against the more [[liberal]] targets, such as the ''[[Democrat]]'' [[Jerry Costello]], or the less influential entries, such as the deceased Fred Schwarz. Additionally, as of August 5, 2008, the Dravecky article no longer mentions anything about JBS.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dave_Dravecky&oldid=225907517</ref> Wikipedia left intact the smear against the AAPS. After removal of the smear against Costello, it was then reinserted before being removed again.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jerry_Costello&diff=156607328&oldid=156100194</ref>
# Wikipedia's article on the longest-serving and most powerful Maryland official in its history, [[William Donald Schaefer]], contains about 1900 words, but over two-thirds of those words (1400/1900) are devoted to silly gossip, outright vulgarity and National Enquirer-type material.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Donald_Schaefer</ref> 406 words, which is over 20% of the entire entry, is devoted to a silly dispute Schaefer had one day with the local newspaper.
#[[Wikipedia]] will give often great prominence to [[liberal]] criticism of someone, while almost never giving such prominence to [[conservative]] criticism of a [[liberal]]. For example, Wikipedia's entry for [[conservative]] [[Texas]] legislator Debbie Riddle is devoted mostly to [[liberal]] criticism of an obscure quote of hers.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Riddle</ref> But Wikipedia's entry for [[liberal]] [[Chuck Schumer]] consists of glowing praise without including any [[conservative]] criticism of him.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Schumer</ref>
# Wikipedia's entry for seven weeks about [[Thad Cochran]],<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thad_Cochran&oldid=135420256 (revised only after being exposed on Conservapedia, but then the smear was reinserted again before being removed again)</ref> a conservative Republican member of the [[U.S. Senate]], smeared him with an offensive, unsupported quotation not of Cochran, but of a Democrat Mississippi governor for whom Cochran's mother campaigned when Cochran was age 14. The unsupported quote was never spoken or endorsed by Cochran, but Wikipedia featured it near the top of Cochran's entry to mislead the reader into thinking Cochran is somehow a racist.
# Wikipedia's article about the late Senator [[John Tower]] of Texas, who moved leftward as his tenure in the Senate advanced, includes a mean-spirited story whose only point seems to be to indicate the degree of his ex-wife's bitterness toward him. The article previously spelled his wife's name incorrectly. The article was in that state since it was first inserted in May 2006<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Tower&oldid=101859325 John Tower], revision as of Jan 25</ref> and until it was corrected on January 26, 2007.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Tower&offset=20070208110937&limit=20&action=history</ref> No real encyclopedia would print such silly gossip.
# Wikipedia's presidential template for George W. Bush is a sterile presentation of his life and presidency,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:George_W._Bush</ref> but the template for Barack Obama is filled with non-notable, forgettable fluff such as links to articles about songs about him, a list of artists who support him, a Super Mario-type video game based on him and a list of places named after him.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Public_image_of_Barack_Obama</ref> (Note that there is no mention on Wikipedia of George W. Bush Elementary in Stockton, CA.<ref>http://www.google.com/search?q=%22george+w.+bush+elementary%22+stockton&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a</ref>)
#Wikipedia reported on the [[Glen Beck]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restoring_Honor_rally#Crowd_size "Restoring Honor rally"] with an emphasis on the dispute over the estimates of the size of the crowd. Although Beck claimed 500,000 attended, Wikipedia reported that "a scientific estimate placed the crowd size around 87,000, while media reports varied dramatically from tens of thousands to 500,000." In contrast, Wikipedia's coverage of the [[Jon Stewart]]/[[Stephen Colbert]] "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" merely reported "About 215,000 people attended the rally, according to aerial photography analysis by AirPhotosLive.com for CBS News." without giving any conflicting estimates.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rally_to_Restore_Sanity_and/or_Fear&oldid=504295774</ref>
#The Wikipedia article on the [[Council for National Policy]] cites to liberal sources critical of the CNP pointing out its private membership lists, closed meetings and litigation involving its tax exemption, without also citing to conservative sources that view the CNP in a more favorable light.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Council_for_National_Policy&oldid=508133295|accessdate=August 23, 2012|title=Council for National Policy}}</ref>
# Wikipedia's entries about media sources are biased towards the liberal media. In its entry on [[Fox News]], Fox's conservatism is mentioned in the first paragraph,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_news</ref> but its first paragraph on liberally slanted CNN offers no such information.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnn</ref>
#Although [[Clint Eastwood]]'s speech at the [[2012 Republican National Convention]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=933hKyKNPFQ was a clever one], Wikipedia catered to the liberal media, which hyped and mocked his speech as ridiculous and detrimental to the [[Republican Party|Republican]] cause, by creating a whole article on his appearance.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Eastwood_at_the_2012_Republican_National_Convention Wikipedia: Clint Eastwood at the 2012 Republican National Convention]</ref> Even though the famous actor already had a long section in his article on politics, Wikipedia felt it was necessary to create a whole new article to further the left's ridicule of him.
# [[Wikipedia]] entries contain [[liberal]] claims followed by citations that do not actually support the claims. For example, [[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[Michael Farris]] states that it "was speculated that Farris' close connection to [[conservative]] leaders ... alienated some voters" in his campaign for lieutenant governor,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Farris</ref> but its citation for that [[liberal]] claim actually attributes his loss to his opponent's [[television]] ads that (falsely) claimed Farris wanted "to ban children's books such as 'The Wizard of Oz', 'Rumpelstiltskin,' and 'Cinderella'."<ref>http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2519/is_n1_v15/ai_14891141</ref>
# [[Wikipedia]]'s pervasive anonymous editing vandalizes numerous [[conservative]] entries, such as that of [[pro-life]] scholar [[Mary Ann Glendon]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Ann_Glendon</ref> For nearly two weeks her entry on [[Wikipedia]] has featured the disrespectful and unsupported statement that "She is a notable pro-life feminist, and ''a fan of the Dropkick Murphys," which is a punk rock group''. [[Liberal]] editors monitor anonymous editing, but often allow attempts to embarrass [[conservatives]] to remain for a long time.
# [[Wikipedia]] often inserts bias by downplaying a [[liberal]] outrage or fallacy amid thousands of words of nearly irrelevant information. For example, no one credibly disputes that [[liberals]] forced [[Larry Summers]] to resign as president of [[Harvard]] because he dared to suggest that the under-representation of women in math, science and engineering may be due to innate differences between women and men.<ref>http://www.davisenterprise.com/articles/2007/09/14/news/114new1.txt</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19181-2005Jan18.html</ref> But the verbose entry for Larry Summers on [[Wikipedia]] implies that his obscure other positions were more important in causing his ouster.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Summers</ref>
# Conservative activist [[Larry Klayman]]'s biography on Wikipedia was repeatedly edited over a 6-month period by an editor account created only for that purpose. The result was a six-month edit war with an editor who repeatedly removed the unsubstantiated allegations taken from a legal document in his divorce case.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive764#6_month_edit_war_on_Larry_Klayman|title=6 month edit ware on Larry Klayman|accessdate=October 18, 2013}}</ref>
# During conservative Senator [[Mitch McConnell]]'s 2014 re-election campaign, someone edited his Wikipedia biography to say that he was a turtle.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2014/09/23/mcconnell-turtle-wikipedia/16120239/|title=Wikipedia swift to remove McConnell turtle entry|date=September 23, 2014|accessdate=October 6, 2014|work=USA Today}}</ref>
# On August 19, 2015, an editor edited the Wikipedia article of former White House Press Secretary and conservative-leaning commentator [[Dana Perino]] to add a section about her views on atheism. There was only one sentence in the section, taken completely out of context and out of place with the rest of the article: "Perino said atheists should leave America, stating 'they don't have to live here'".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dana_Perino&diff=676763635&oldid=670144439</ref> Several people tried to remove that section and two people tried to place the comment in context, but the editor persistently re-added that section. As of July 2016, the section has been removed.
# The Wikipedia article for U.S. Senator [[Jesse Helms]] has a strong left-leaning bias. In the section about his political and social views, the only two subsections were titled "Racism" and "Homophobia" (since corrected<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jesse_Helms&diff=708447585&oldid=708112034</ref>) with disproportionately long and detailed information about these alleged views. Additionally, Helm's article labeled him a "conspiracy theorist", despite there being no information to substantiate such a claim (since removed<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jesse_Helms&diff=726207903&oldid=724448198</ref>).
#The Wikipedia article of [[Alex Jones]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alex_Jones_(radio_host)&oldid=755574598</ref> describes the InfoWars host as follows (as of December 18, 2016): "Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio show host, documentary filmmaker, writer, and conspiracy theorist. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which airs on the Genesis Communications Network and shortwave radio station WWCR across the United States and online. His website, InfoWars.com, has been labelled a fake news website." Although InfoWars has over 3 million subscribers and was more accurate that the New York Times (currently on the verge of bankruptcy) in predicting the outcome of the 2016 election, Wikipedia has categorically labeled InfoWars as a "fake news website" in the introductory paragraph about Alex Jones. Any attempts to alter this description on Wikipedia is met with swift resistance from a cabal of left-wing administrators whose goal it is to paint Jones as an illegitimate crackpot. While attempting to challenge the claim of InfoWars as a "fake news website," User:Boab was banned indefinitely from Wikipedia (by User:The Blade of the Northern Lights <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Blade_of_the_Northern_Lights</ref> and User:Ian.thomson<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ian.thomson</ref>) for "Disruptive editing: Pushing fringe theories and displaying a belligerent BATTLEGROUND approach to disputes."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Boab&oldid=755441776</ref>
# In the Wikipedia article about President [[Donald Trump]],<ref name=trump>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump&oldid=787269818</ref> in the final sentence of the second paragraph of the introductory section in the article on President Donald Trump, this summary sentence has been flagged as "disputed – discuss": "The Russian government interfered in the election to support his candidacy.".<ref name=trump/> The article then has a section entitled "Russian interference in election" and a cross reference to an article on this topic, but those sections are not similarly flagged. Only users with 500 edits are allowed to edit the page of the President of the United States. Also in the second sentence of the second paragraph of the introductory section in the article on President Donald Trump, there is a claim that says "many of his public statements were controversial or false" while Wikipedia articles on liberal Presidents do not make similar challenges. The article then elaborates, "Fact-checking organizations have denounced Trump for making a record number of false statements compared to other candidates. At least four major publications – ''Politico'', ''The Washington Post'', ''The New York Times'', and the ''Los Angeles Times'' – have pointed out lies or falsehoods in his statements during his campaign and after the election." with five footnotes.<ref name=trump/>
# In the Wikipedia article about Milo Yiannopoulos,<ref>http://web.archive.org/save/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos#Controversies</ref> under the section of the article entitled "Controversies", it lists a controversy as his sexuality. However, for any other gay person especially on the left, they do not do such a thing.
# In the Wikipedia article about President [[Donald Trump]]<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170805173406/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump</ref> in the final sentence of the final paragraph of the introductory section, it says, "After Trump dismissed FBI Director [[James Comey]], the Justice Department appointed his predecessor Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russia's interference in the presidential election, potential links between Russia and Trump campaign associates, and any related matters.". However, for Presidential candidates [[Hillary Clinton]]<ref>http://web.archive.org/save/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton</ref> and [[Bernie Sanders]],<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170805173635/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders</ref> who are both under FBI investigation, it does not do such a thing what so ever.
