Poison goo

Old hippies will remember The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, easily the best comic books of our stoned generation. I commend to your recollection Fat Freddy stomping on cockroaches in the kitchen, determined to eradicate them. Next panel, under the refrigerator, a cockroach general is dressed like MacArthur, dark sunglasses and pipe. A distressed lieutenant reports 100 troops killed. The general calmly observes: "I have billions of them. We will prevail."

Let's examine a sequence of published facts. Wuhan is the location of a Chinese biowarfare laboratory. NIH scientists say that the "novel corona virus" is unlike all others. It's sheathed with an HIV shell and survives on surfaces up to 72 hours. It may have been engineered. A benign explanation is that it was released accidentally from the Wuhan laboratory. It seems implausible that the Chinese authorities would deliberately kill their own people, right?

Not so fast. The Chinese government suppressed initial reports of an outbreak in Wuhan. An alarmed doctor was detained by police for five weeks and died. Two journalists disappeared. The government allowed (encouraged?) a mass Wuhan banquet attended by 40,000 families and did not quarantine Wuhan until there were hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands infected, many thousands who traveled to Italy, Iran, South Korea, and the United States. Let's suppose that the "wet market bat" story was disinformation. Chinese officials advised WHO that the respiratory disease in Wuhan was not communicable by human-to-human contact, which was a lie and had to be revised six weeks later. Offers of U.S. medical experts were rebuffed. China accused the U.S. Army of releasing the virus, another lie. The benign explanation is repeated attempts to save face, an important Chinese cultural tradition.

Not so fast. China got its butt kicked in Trump's trade war. Their economic house of cards is crumbling for structural reasons, and they have been universally condemned for slave labor and brutal "re-education" camps full of Muslim prisoners. Beijing and Shanghai are almost uninhabitable with pea soup air polution. Hong Kong is in open rebellion. Red China has no chance of winning a kinetic war with the United States, nor is that a strategic objective. They want to become a dominant global superpower as stealthily as possible.

I think the novel virus was a deliberate release to cripple us economically. It was a matter of indifference to Xi and his inner circle that some thousands or tens of thousands were killed in China, plus thousands who traveled to and infected Italy, Germany, Iran, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Brazil, Africa, England, France, and the United States -- which is dependent on China for pharmaceuticals, vitamins, cheap consumer goods, and electronics. It is almost unanimously agreed that the U.S. has to claw back production of pharmaceuticals and vitamins pronto as a national security matter.

Terrible news flow: The White House Task Force projects that up to 200,000 Americans could die from the bioweapon unleashed by China (an act of war). Long haul truckers are working 90 hours a week, 20% shortfall of drivers, DMV offices closed, no way to license more big rig pilots. Virus outbreaks on two 7th Fleet aircraft carriers. 500 TSA workers tested positive. Houston air traffic control suspended. 1500 NYPD cops and EMS infected. New York hospitals mobbed, doctors and nurses begging for help. Rhode Island National Guard stationed on highways, at bus stations, going door to door looking for New Yorkers. Texas troopers doing the same at airports and highway checkpoints, detaining escapees from New Orleans. Florida cops searching for New Yorkers, breaking up religious services. Nationally, you need DHS permission to visit a dentist for emergency care. Arkansas troops are breaking up crowds in state parks. Oklahoma has relaxed its rules to serve as a police officer, no training required. Numerous states unable to process or pay unemployment claims. Trump says that perhaps some liberty can be restored in June, which I doubt. It will take America years to recover, unless we're attacked by another more lethal Chinese bioweapon.

Much depends on bare knuckles economic war to punish a dangerous adversary that has tens of thousands of agents embedded in U.S. tech firms, higher ed, Democrat campaign funding, and organized crime. We should task FBI and DEA agents to investigate Chinese criminals and saboteurs, but it won't be sufficient, like Fat Freddy stomping roaches in the kitchen.

There are billions of Chinese. They will prevail unless we put on our Orkin hazmat suits and squirt poison goo in the supply chain cupboard, starting with rotten Apple. Put WalMart on a diet, punitive tariffs on slave labor Christmas decorations and toys. Dell and HP will have to train Americans to build computers, immediate blockade of Chinese components. We can import smartphones, big screens, and auto parts from South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.

Fumigate the fucking murderers. Deport all Chinese diplomats, commercial envoys, tourists, and students. Evacuate all Americans from Communist China except Elon Musk. If they want kinetic war, do it. Find their subs and kill them.

Rush Limbaugh and I are the same age. I can read between the lines, because I understand him. He's been briefed. He knows that it was a deliberate Chicom biowarfare attack. I agree with Rush that it's intolerable to duck and cover, to destroy our economy, allow a handful of infected sailors to cripple 7th Fleet naval aviation operations, and let imbecile politicians repeal the Bill of Rights, state by state, unopposed. We support President Trump, but he's been mesmerized by Deep State statistical modeling. Trump has to be shaken as roughly as possible by his friends. Let freedom ring, and bring China to book, indict their asses.
