China launches biological warfare agenda; covertly infiltrates Wuhan evacuation plane with “Trojan horse” carrier of the coronavirus to infect all passengers headed to Taiwan
Editorial note: To all national security personnel reading this from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Canada, the USA, Russia and other nations, you will want to urgently forward this to your commanding officers, as this story is verified and true, confirmed through our Taiwan investigators. It indicates a dangerous, global escalation of warfare tactics by a lawless, authoritarian regime that you already know has been dispatching spies to your countries, stealing intellectual property and infiltrating your universities, governments and military weapons research institutions. China's end game goal is world domination, and there is no weapon they won't deploy to achieve it.
On the heels of the bombshell revelation that China has been engineering an "offensive biological warfare weapon" that accidentally escaped their BSL-4 facilities and launched a global pandemic, we are now getting confirmation from our investigators in Taiwan that China has deployed a biological warfare attack against Taiwan by seeding an evacuation flight of Taiwan citizens with an infected "Trojan horse" human weapon who contaminated the entire evacuation flight.
This is a damning escalation of tensions between communist China and Taiwan as the coronavirus pandemic explodes, nearly doubling the number of confirmed infections every 3.5 days (i.e. exponential, self-sustained pandemic outbreak).
As part of an evacuation operation carried out by the government of Taiwan, the communist Chinese government refused to allow Taiwan to charter its own plane to rescue its citizens from the Wuhan region. China demanded that its own airplane be used, refusing to follow the Taiwan government's request that "old women, women with children and children" should be the priority of evacuees allowed to take the flight.
Instead, China placed three passengers on the flight who were not on Taiwan's list of citizens, and one of those individuals, completely unknown to Taiwan, turned out to be infected with coronavirus.
China now trying to spread the coronavirus across Taiwan
The covert operation appears to be a biological warfare attack on Taiwan by the communist Chinese regime, which deliberately intended to infect the entire flight with coronavirus so that infected passengers would further spread the pandemic in Taiwan. Such actions, of course, violate international laws, the Geneva Convention and various international treaties that outlaw the deployment of biological weapons.
Translated from Chinese, via Liberty Times Net: (emphasis added)
When senior media person Cai Yuzhen accepted an interview with "Faith" today, he criticized the Chinese side for a series of actions that were "black box operations"...
...there was no protective measures for the entire charter plane, and no one knew who was infected. It was not until the passengers returned to Taiwan for examination that one person was confirmed [infected]. "This charter flight took two hours. The virus is inserted into the charter flight, the rest of the passengers become a high-risk group. What can you say to them? It's a helpless situation. How can we use the original method to evacuate the rest of the people? "The worst part is how can a confirmed case get on the flight? Once it's on the flight, it's treated the same as the rest of the people, there's no quarantine. Can you still trust this kind of China?"
The Minister of Health Fu Chen Shizhong who did his best to prevent epidemics was sentimental and wept, because a confirmed case was like a black hole in epidemic prevention on an unprotected charter plane. It caused him to shed tears [for the safety of the people of Taiwan]...
Here's the original Chinese article, for those who are able to read it:
China knows its political power will be crippled by the coronavirus pandemic
It now appears China is attempting to export its pandemic to Taiwan by swapping seeding evacuation charter flights with "human weapons" who are known to be infected with the coronavirus. Given that China already realizes its economic and political future is now uncertain in the face of an exploding pandemic that has likely killed at least 25,000 Chinese, the deceptive communist regime appears to be attempting to cause the maximum damage to Taiwan as a form of lashing out against its political enemies as its own domestic situation turns to chaos.
The nCoV strain of the coronavirus was genetically engineered by Chinese scientists to create the perfect biological warfare weapon, which would one day be deployed against the United States, stunning new investigations have revealed. This underscores China's philosophy of achieving the extermination of its political enemies using horrifying weapons of death and destruction. This is why China's sudden biological warfare "Trojan horse" attack on Taiwan should come as a surprise to no one.

Taiwan's infectious disease officials brought to tears over China's biowarfare attack
Taiwan is working feverishly to protect its citizens from the malicious, criminal actions of the mainland Chinese regime, but given that China is willing to deploy "pandemic sleeper cells" on Taiwan evacuation flights, the Taiwan government is now facing an enormous burden to screen, quarantine and treat patients who may be in various stages of the coronavirus incubation.
For this effort, the communist Chinese regime should be labeled a criminal regime that is committing crimes against humanity, yet the compromised W.H.O. remains committed to China, even absurdly praising China for its "transparency."
Every institution in America -- from Hollywood to the tech giants and even the U.S. Senate -- seems to be running cover for China, one of the most inhumane, cruel authoritarian regimes in the history of our world. China routinely kidnaps innocent civilians, subjects them to rape and torture, murders political enemies, runs "education" camps that imprison Muslims, and even runs organ harvesting factories to generate profits from the international black market of human organs.
China also routinely bullies Taiwan and even threatens global corporations with retribution if they do not bow to the demands of the communist regime. By any reasonable standard, China is truly one of the most dangerous, evil and destructive regimes on our planet, and it proves that designation yet again by illegally deploying a human weapon biological warfare attack against Taiwan.
Why is there no outcry from the United Nations or the WHO? Where is the outcry from the scientific community? Where is the coverage in the mainstream media? It's nowhere to be found, because all the corrupt, criminal institutions of our world have already sold out to the communist Chinese regime. (Much of the controlled U.S. media is now run by communists. CNN is now called the "Communist News Network.")
Surely China's biological warfare attack on Taiwan should trigger a considered response from the United States, but so far, no one is even acknowledging this incident has taken place, since it's not reported anywhere in the (controlled) U.S. media. President Trump is likely not even aware this has happened.
The entire mainstream media is lying to you about the coronavirus pandemic and China in particular. But you already knew that, of course.
Fascinatingly, media lies about the coronavirus seem to be spreading almost as fast as the virus itself.

Doctors, journalists who try to SAVE lives during the coronavirus pandemic are being arrested, threatened and censored
A Chinese doctor was reportedly targeted with a reprimand and issued a misdemeanor after he privately warned friends and family members to be cautious about novel coronavirus, which at the time of his warning was still largely a mystery disease.
On December 30, Li Wenliang told his medical school alumni group via WeChat, a popular Chinese messaging app, that he had already witnessed seven patients at Wuhan Central Hospital where he works come down with a viral contagion similar to S.A.R.S. (severe acute respiratory syndrome). He then told then to basically be careful.
But Li's message ended up going viral on the web with his name attached to it, which almost immediately prompted local health officials, as well as local police, to go after him for allegedly spreading "rumors" online.
"When I saw them circulating online," Li says about these text messages he sent, "I realized that it was out of my control and I would probably be punished."
Li was right, as police quickly went after him for blowing the lid on what has now ballooned into a global pandemic situation with tens of thousands of sick people and hundreds of deaths – and this is only the official numbers, which independent reports says are far too low.
Ironically enough, Li caught what we now know as novel coronavirus himself from one of his infected patients. He spoke to the media via text message because the sickness has left him unable to speak well due to coughing and other breathing troubles.
"I only wanted to remind my university classmates to be careful," Li laments, revealing how he's been harassed and basically threatened for spilling the beans when the communist Chinese government obviously wanted to cover the whole thing up, just like it did for S.A.R.S. back in 2002-03.

In the end, Li was summoned to the officials who run his hospital for questioning. He was also issued a misdemeanor citation by local police for "spreading rumors online" and "severely disrupting social order" – the typical communist response to free speech that we're also seeing here in the U.S.
In case you missed it, the popular independent news outlet Zero Hedge was recently banned from Twitter for reporting on a Chinese scientist by the name of Dr. Peng Zhou, Ph.D., who has ties to the BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan where experimental bioweapons are apparently being experimented with and tested in bat carriers.
Similar censorship has also occurred against Natural News, along with Infowars and many other independent news outlets that over the past several years especially have been warning about things that our own semi-communist government doesn't want people to hear or know.
As for Li, his warnings were correct: Novel coronavirus is spiraling out of control with no end in sight. And the communist Chinese government's handling of the unfolding situation is, in many ways, exacerbating the problem because it's still centered around a tactic of remaining hush-hush until it's too late to do anything in response.

Entire cruise ship with thousands of passengers exposed to coronavirus, 20 confirmed new cases
A large cruise ship that's currently docked and quarantined at Japan's Yokohama port has at least 20 confirmed cases of novel coronavirus onboard, along withof other passengers who may also be infected with the pandemic disease. (The original story linked here first reported 10 cases, but 10 additional cases have now been confirmed, bringing the total to 20. See confirmation here .)
The "Diamond Princess" cruise ship reportedly set off with more than 3,000 passengers, only to have nearly a dozen of them end up testing positive with coronavirus just days later. The ship was brought back to port, but everyone onboard is now being forced to stay there, except for the confirmed cases which were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
As the cruise liner awaits some kind of next step or "all clear," health authorities in nearby Hong Kong have issued a public warning that coronavirus could "spread widely through Hong Kong" as well, seeing as how the territory directly abuts mainland China.
With three newly diagnosed cases of coronavirus in Hong Kong, bringing its total number up to 21, there are widespread concerns that the area government needs to immediately close all ports of entry between Hong Kong and China to ensure public safety.
As we reported, a major hospital workers union is issuing similar calls for the Hong Kong government to act swiftly, otherwise its members will refuse to work, bringing the local health care system to a grinding halt.
"It is highly probable the four were infected locally, so there could be invisible chains of infection happening within communities," stated Chuang Shuk-kwan, head of the communicable disease branch at Hong Kong's Center for Health Protection.
"We are not ruling out a large spread [of the virus] in the future."
Be sure to listen to the episode (below) of the Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, as he discusses the bio-engineered nature of novel coronavirus:
First coronavirus death in Hong Kong ignites even more unrest among striking hospital workers
Hong Kong recently reported its first death from coronavirus around the same time that local hospital workers walked out by the thousands in protest of their government's inaction in response to the pandemic.
Reports indicate that local Hong Kong hospitals are having to massively cut back services as hospital workers are busy marching in the streets rather than caring for patients.
While most of Hong Kong's land and sea crossings are now closed, there are two that remain open, which locals say is unacceptable considering that the Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou is located right across the border.
There are also two more reported cases of coronavirus in people living in Hong Kong who didn't even travel to Wuhan, which "indicates significant risk of community transmission," including a "large-scale" outbreak, according to officials monitoring the situation.
"Important services, critical operations have been affected," including cancer treatment centers and newborn care facilities, lamented Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's leader, about how the hospital workers strike is negatively impacting the local community.
"So, I'm appealing to those who are taking part in this action: Let's put the interests of the patients and the entire public health system above all other things."
But those striking have a different outlook on the situation as they don't want to be overloaded by coronavirus patients due to government inaction on fully sealing Hong Kong's borders to prevent even more potentially infected individuals from entering and spreading the disease.
"Usually when there is any bad news regarding cruise ships, the cruise industry starts pumping out commercials galore about the fun in the sun," wrote one commenter at The Epoch Times about the cruise ship situation.
"Haven't seen that this time. Perhaps they don't want to cruise right now, either."

Projecting “wave 2” and “wave 3” of the Coronavirus pandemic
It's too early to declare victory and too early to assume the virus can be completely eradicated in a few weeks on the SARS model.
Many people are already anticipating the end of the coronavirus pandemic and a quick return to "normal life" and renewed global growth. But if we examine the history of previous pandemics and the spread of this contagious virus, we reach a much different conclusion: "Wave 2" and "Wave 3" arising after the initial wave recedes are distinct possibilities.
(Article republished from CharlesHughSmith.Blogspot.com)
The corporate media and conventional economists in the U.S. and China's PR machine share a common goal: reassure consumers in the U.S., China and the rest of the world that everything will return to normal soon and they should continue buying stuff they don't need (5G phones, etc.) with borrowed money.
Meanwhile, authorities in China are tracking down everyone with a Wuhan residency ID card in the hopes that quarantining every one of the tens of thousands of Wuhan residents who traveled before the citywide quarantine took effect will stop the pandemic.
There are two problems with this official assumption that house-arresting everyone from Wuhan will end the pandemic:
1. Given that Wuhan residents traveled freely around China for the month before the citywide quarantine, infecting people in other cities, there is now a pool of carriers who did not come from Wuhan, so quarantining everyone from Wuhan won't stop these people from infecting others.
2. Much of the dirty, poorly paid work in China's cities is done by "illegal migrants" from rural areas who don't have official residency in the city. These people may have lived and worked in Wuhan but do not have Wuhan ID cards. They make up another reservoir of virus carriers who it will be difficult to track down and quarantine via residency permits and ID.
As mentioned previously, many of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese with overseas jobs returned home for New Years and are now anxious to get back to their jobs in other countries. Those without symptoms who are outside locked-down cities are free to find "work-arounds" to exit China by whatever means are available. Some consequential percentage of these people might be asymptomatic carriers of the virus.
As the city-wide quarantines limit the spread of the virus, victory will be declared and the quarantines will be lifted. But since the reservoirs of the virus have not been eliminated, the virus will start spreading again once the quarantines are lifted. This is "Wave 2."
Pandemics tend to decline in summer and then re-emerge in Fall. These renewed pandemics may be even more consequential than the first wave.
If an effective vaccine is developed and billions of doses are made and distributed globally by Fall, then a re-emergence will have been thwarted. But that's a tall order, and there may be areas where the vaccine (assuming one is developed) is not universally distributed.
A re-emergence in Fall would be "Wave 3." Perhaps this wave will be limited to impoverished nations without adequate healthcare systems; perhaps the virus mutates in some unexpected way. It's too early to declare victory and too early to assume the virus can be completely eradicated in a few weeks on the SARS model.

naturalnews--2020-02-05--The lies we are being told about the Coronavirus

( Natural News ) Lies are a powerful form of magic ; they can mislead large groups of people into making terrible errors , as well as cause them to be blind to the obvious .
Lies make people hurt themselves while thinking they are helping themselves .
It is a truly dark and horrific act of sorcery .
As the world stands at the edge of a global pandemic event , the people who are immune to the effects of lies have an opportunity to take action should the virus continue to expand beyond the borders of China .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , perhaps a couple of months , in which we can prepare ourselves for the fallout and ensure we are as protected as we can be .
This means taking precautions to prevent viral transmission , increasing the strength of our own immune systems , prepping for the loss of supply lines and freight shipments to retailers , organizing family , friends and neighbors for mutual aid and security , as well as preparing for the inevitable government attempts at martial law .
Of course , a person can not or will not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they believe that the virus is not a threat , or they think that the pandemic will have little effect on their daily lives .
I have recently seen a discomforting level of propaganda and disinformation agents invading the media and discussion boards related to this issue .
Whenever I see such an intense disinformation campaign surrounding an event , this tells me a couple of things : 1 ) If they are trying to overtly downplay the seriousness of the event while lying about the facts involved , it tells me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it will probably get worse as time passes .
2 ) If they all push the same false narrative and talking points it tells me that this is an organized effort paid for by a larger party with extensive resources .
If the narrative glosses over or hides recently revealed evidence by claiming that the event is “ all hype ” , then it is designed to create inaction in the public – It is designed to make us apathetic , which means there is a concerted conspiracy to harm us .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hide the guilt of the people involved in creating the crisis .
So what are some of the most insidious lies being spread right now on the virus threat ?
Lets go through a quick list of those I ’ ve identified so far : Lie # 1 : Deaths Caused By The Coronavirus Are Nothing Compared To The Death Rate Of The Average Flu… This lie seems to be the most common being used to plant seeds of apathy in the public consciousness right now .
I have even heard people on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try to convince themselves that all is well .
But even using official numbers , which are likely false and greatly reduced , the argument is simply wrong on every level .
There is a big difference between “ number of deaths ” and the actual “ death rate ” of a virus .
The flu infects tens of millions of people annually around the world with deaths in the US numbering usually under 10,000 .
In the US in the 2019-2020 season so far , the flu infected over 9 million people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death rate of the flu is minor compared to the number of sick .
Flu deaths are usually collated over the course of a year , yet people are already trying to compare death rates to the coronavirus , which has only been active for a few weeks .
Keep in mind also that the CDC has been called out for greatly inflating influenza death rates in order to push vaccine propaganda .
They consistently attach flu death numbers with pneumonia deaths ; which I would point is is the exact OPPOSITE of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus numbers .
The coronavirus has been active for about a month in China , it has a hibernation of around two weeks , and , China has been lying extensively about the number of deaths associated with the disease by labeling most deaths due to pneumonia .
We truly have no idea what the potential death rate of this illness is .
What we do know is that it behaves much like SARS , which had a death rate of around 11 % .
According to official numbers the coronavirus transmits faster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few weeks than SARS did in over a year .
The notion that the virus only kills the elderly is also incorrect .
The two deaths now confirmed outside of China were both men in their 30 ’ s and 40 ’ s .
When considering the issue of viral death rate , we have to take into account the capacity of local medical facilities in handling patient load .
If hospitals are only handling a few cases at a time , then the patients will get better overall treatment and less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospitals are overwhelmed with thousands of cases at a time , as is happening in China , then treatment quality will go down and many more people will die .
A minimal death rate outside of China today does not mean a minimal death rate tomorrow should the virus spread beyond hospital capacity .
With the flu , people can usually treat themselves with ease at home ; the coronavirus is obviously much more dangerous .
No country in modern times has EVER quarantined over 50 million people in 16 cities because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coronavirus and the flu is patently ridiculous .
There is no comparison .
The coronavirus is on another level entirely .
Lie # 2 : The Coronavirus Came From An Animal Market And The Claim It Is Engineered Is A “ Conspiracy Theory ” … The phrase “ conspiracy theory ” is usually exploited as a way to dismiss facts and evidence without consideration on the basis that the official story is the only story that has any validity .
In other words , the official story requires no justification because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best interests at heart .
The problem is , governments and the mainstream media have been caught lying over and over again about issues far less important than a global pandemic , so I ’ m not sure why we should trust ANYTHING they say ever .
There is considerable evidence that China has been lying incessantly about the number of sick and dead due to the coronavirus , including leaked accounts from medics and other people at ground zero in Wuhan .
These people are now being silenced by the Chinese government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was suppressing coverage and information on the coronavirus from the very beginning of the contagion , which helped allow it to spread unchecked .
Now , social media companies are taking action to remove people who try to document the facts of the virus and its potential source in the name of “ stopping fake news ” .
Anyone who questions the official narrative is not only a “ conspiracy theorist ” but also a “ danger ” to the public .
This narrative is supported by US government officials : “ These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to people , and the platforms must act to stop them from spreading , ” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. ( D-N.J. ) said in a statement to The Hill .
“ It ’ s critical that Americans receive verified , trustworthy information about the coronavirus and heed the advice of our country ’ s public health officials as we learn more about its potential impact here at home… ” The facts are the facts , and if the facts suggest a conspiracy , then so be it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in question stands the LARGEST Level 4 Biohazard Lab in Asia , which studies directly into the world ’ s deadliest pathogens including SARS and coronavirus .
In 2017 , experts warned that a virus could escape the labs in Wuhan because of lax containment standards .
To put this in perspective , it would be like an Ebola outbreak striking the city of Atlanta and then blamed on a food market only 20 miles from the CDC .
It looks suspicious… Last year , Chinese researchers were dismissed from a Level 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explanation , but the same lab was exposed last year for sharing deadly virus samples with China , including Ebola and henipavirus .
One of the Chinese researchers work focus was the SARS virus .
Media and government attention in Canada at the time of the scandal was on concerns that the lab in Winnipeg was supplying viral samples that would be used in China ’ s biowarfare programs .
According to a paper published by virologists in India , the coronavirus genetic code also contains proteins that are exactly like those found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been shown to respond positively to drugs that are meant to treat HIV and AIDS carriers .
Through official pressure the paper has now been retracted and the authors have said they will “ revise it ” .
But , the whole point of peer review is for the data to be examined by others in the field and then proven or disproven .
If the data can be reproduced , then it needs to be taken seriously .
This is not what the CDC and other official institutions on disease study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any information outright that suggests the coronavirus might have been made in a lab rather than in nature .
If true , the chances of coronavirus containing protein combinations identical to HIV in nature are astronomical , meaning , the virus was engineered .
If the virus is proven to be engineered , then this makes future narratives and propaganda harder to implement .
For example , it will be much harder to blame the pandemic on “ global warming ” if the virus was created by a bunch of guys in lab @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeat the facts , Wuhan is a hub for China ’ s largest biohazard labs and these labs are suspected by biological warfare experts of being involved in bioweapons testing .
Until there is more independent examination of the virus ( the original strain before mutation ) , no one knows for certain what the source is .
The mainstream media has been very aggressive in denying any links to bioweaponry , claiming that there “ is no evidence ” linking Wuhan ’ s labs to the virus ; yet , there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the biohazard labs than there is evidence proving that the virus originated an animal market .
They have simply decided that the animal market story is the tale they prefer , and so it has become the official story .
Lie # 3 : The Virus Won ’ t Have Any Effect On America The general thrust of the mainstream view of the coronavirus has been to assert that the US will not be affected and that concerns are “ overblown ” .
The UN ’ s World Health Organization continues to refuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and even Larry Kudlow , Trump ’ s Director of the National Economic Council , claims the damage to the US economy will be ‘ minimal ’ .
Now , firstly I have to say I would take the economic analysis of a long time cocaine addict with a grain of salt .
This is the same guy who was wildly incorrect in all his calls on the housing bubble in 2005-2006 , and yet he is now advising the White House on financial crisis events ?
But lets set the incompetence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that perhaps he is just reading from a script prepared for him by others .
Certainly , there are a lot of people out there that would like to keep the public ignorant of the depth of the situation , and they will give all sorts of half-assed rationales as to why they lie .
For the Chinese authorities , the pandemic is an undeniable fact of life , but they will say their economy and global image required the truth to be “ tempered ” to prevent civil unrest and to stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese markets en masse .
For US authorities who waited far too long to start shutting down flights from China carrying multiple infected , the claim will be that they had to lie to prevent general panic and market panic .
For the UN ’ s World Health Organization that lied about China “ containment ” and actually downplayed the danger of travel to China for a time while the virus was raging and human-to-human transmission was confirmed , I see no excuse really .
Their behavior , and the behavior of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they WANT the pandemic to spread .
As I write this the 11th confirmed case of coronavirus has been identified in the US with many more suspected cases still under observation .
Obviously , the virus is here already , but the issue of how much it will affect Americans is being diminished or buried in an endless stream of propaganda .
Given enough time , a viral outbreak that spreads as fast as the coronavirus with a death rate of 5 % or more is going to cause negative effects in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But in our current window of the progression of the pandemic , I think it ’ s important to point out that even if the death rate is low in the US , there is no escaping the economic consequences attached to this event .
The US economy is interdependent with multiple nations , and is tightly connected to China .
The greatest danger of globalism in terms of economics is that it forces national economies into losing the redundancies that protect them from systemic collapse .
When one major economy goes down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with it .
Not only that , but the US financial structure is precariously unstable anyway , with record levels of national debt , consumer debt and corporate debt , not to mention steep declines in manufacturing and demand .
The US sits atop one of the most massive economic bubbles of all time – The Everything Bubble , created by the Federal Reserve over ten years of stimulus measures , barely keeping the system alive in a state of zombification .
The bubble was always going to collapse .
In fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was already collapsing .
The coronavirus outbreak is a perfect cover event for this implosion .
To understand why a collapse event might be preferred by a certain minority of people within the elitist establishment , read my last article ‘ How Viral Pandemic Benefits The Globalist Agenda ’ .
As I have argued for the past couple of years , all that is needed to bring down the US economy is one major trigger event .
The idea that a global pandemic would not damage the American system already teetering on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absurd .
This event has the capacity to cause crisis around the world , not just in China .
You are going to hear this lie often in the next month or two .
I ’ ve heard it several times already from Chinese and US authorities in the past few weeks , and clearly their definition of the word “ contained ” must be different from mine .
China ’ s official sickness count and death toll rises exponentially by the day , and this is not accounting for the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Over 50 million people are now in forced quarantine and martial law measures have been implemented .
Hong Kong ’ s hopes of containment have been dashed and officials now expect the outbreak to grow worse in the region .
Japan just announced that a man carrying the virus boarded a cruise liner and then departed , infecting at least ten people in the process and forcing the ship into quarantine for the next two weeks .
A woman in Santa Clara , California carrying the virus came back from China and had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DAYS before the illness was identified .
Meaning , every single person she came in contact with in that time is now a potential carrier , and for the next two weeks they won ’ t know they are contagious .
These are just a few examples of why it is foolish to write off this situation as “ contained ” ; you can not contain what you can not identify .
The disinformation campaign seems designed to hide the true source of the virus , but also to keep the masses lethargic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sit and wait while the virus and the potential economic catastrophe runs us over .
Do not fall for the con ; prepare accordingly , and never accept what lying governments and mainstream media outlets tell you as the whole truth .
It is better to take precautions you might not need than to be found very stupid and desperate down the road because the “ experts ” told you it was all hype .

The lies we are being told about the Coronavirus
Lies are a powerful form of magic; they can mislead large groups of people into making terrible errors, as well as cause them to be blind to the obvious. Lies make people hurt themselves while thinking they are helping themselves. It is a truly dark and horrific act of sorcery.
(Article by Brandon Smith republished from Alt-Market.com)
As the world stands at the edge of a global pandemic event, the people who are immune to the effects of lies have an opportunity to take action should the virus continue to expand beyond the borders of China. We have a small window of time, perhaps a couple of months, in which we can prepare ourselves for the fallout and ensure we are as protected as we can be. This means taking precautions to prevent viral transmission, increasing the strength of our own immune systems, prepping for the loss of supply lines and freight shipments to retailers, organizing family, friends and neighbors for mutual aid and security, as well as preparing for the inevitable government attempts at martial law.
Of course, a person cannot or will not take any of these measures as long as they believe that the virus is not a threat, or they think that the pandemic will have little effect on their daily lives. I have recently seen a discomforting level of propaganda and disinformation agents invading the media and discussion boards related to this issue. Whenever I see such an intense disinformation campaign surrounding an event, this tells me a couple of things:
1) If they are trying to overtly downplay the seriousness of the event while lying about the facts involved, it tells me that the event is a legitimate threat and it will probably get worse as time passes.
2) If they all push the same false narrative and talking points it tells me that this is an organized effort paid for by a larger party with extensive resources.
If the narrative glosses over or hides recently revealed evidence by claiming that the event is “all hype”, then it is designed to create inaction in the public – It is designed to make us apathetic, which means there is a concerted conspiracy to harm us. It is not just an attempt to hide the guilt of the people involved in creating the crisis.
So what are some of the most insidious lies being spread right now on the virus threat? Lets go through a quick list of those I've identified so far:
Lie #1: Deaths Caused By The Coronavirus Are Nothing Compared To The Death Rate Of The Average Flu...
This lie seems to be the most common being used to plant seeds of apathy in the public consciousness right now. I have even heard people on the street regurgitate it verbatim as they try to convince themselves that all is well. But even using official numbers, which are likely false and greatly reduced, the argument is simply wrong on every level.

Lie #2: The Coronavirus Came From An Animal Market And The Claim It Is Engineered Is A “Conspiracy Theory”...
The phrase “conspiracy theory” is usually exploited as a way to dismiss facts and evidence without consideration on the basis that the official story is the only story that has any validity. In other words, the official story requires no justification because the authorities are infallible and always have our best interests at heart.

Anyone who questions the official narrative is not only a "conspiracy theorist" but also a "danger" to the public. This narrative is supported by US government officials:
"These lies can cause immediate and tangible harm to people, and the platforms must act to stop them from spreading," House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) said in a statement to The Hill. "It’s critical that Americans receive verified, trustworthy information about the coronavirus and heed the advice of our country’s public health officials as we learn more about its potential impact here at home..."
The facts are the facts, and if the facts suggest a conspiracy, then so be it. Only 20 miles away from the market in question stands the LARGEST Level 4 Biohazard Lab in Asia, which studies directly into the world's deadliest pathogens including SARS and coronavirus. In 2017, experts warned that a virus could escape the labs in Wuhan because of lax containment standards.

To repeat the facts, Wuhan is a hub for China's largest biohazard labs and these labs are suspected by biological warfare experts of being involved in bioweapons testing. Until there is more independent examination of the virus (the original strain before mutation), no one knows for certain what the source is.
The mainstream media has been very aggressive in denying any links to bioweaponry, claiming that there “is no evidence” linking Wuhan's labs to the virus; yet, there is FAR MORE evidence of the involvement of the biohazard labs than there is evidence proving that the virus originated an animal market.

China's official sickness count and death toll rises exponentially by the day, and this is not accounting for the number of sick and dead they are hiding.

These are just a few examples of why it is foolish to write off this situation as "contained"; you cannot contain what you cannot identify.
The disinformation campaign seems designed to hide the true source of the virus, but also to keep the masses lethargic and inactive. We are meant to sit and wait while the virus and the potential economic catastrophe runs us over. Do not fall for the con; prepare accordingly, and never accept what lying governments and mainstream media outlets tell you as the whole truth.

naturalnews--2020-02-05--Can fish oil and curcumin prevent muscle atrophy?

( Natural News ) It ’ s no secret that turmeric is one of the healthiest spices on the planet , thanks to curcumin , its primary active ingredient .
While the spice is a key addition to many curries , most people find the taste to be a little too strong .
Fish oil , on the other hand , is often linked to improved heart health .
People often take it to lower their cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease , but it ’ s also known for its fishy aftertaste .
Here ’ s where it gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ M University suggest combining the two – in the name of improved muscle health .
In their study , recently published in Nutrition Research , the team noted that the interesting combination can benefit those who are unable to use their muscles , such as patients who are either immobilized or under bed rest , and even astronauts in spaceflight .
The condition , which scientists refer to as mechanical unloading , can lead to muscle atrophy over time , where weakened muscles shrink and lose their mass .
This can undoubtedly have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quality of life , with muscle atrophy greatly impairing the ability to perform everyday activities .
Scientists have long identified the link between muscle inactivity , or mechanical unloading , and muscle atrophy .
When skeletal muscle use becomes limited or decreased , it can lead to low muscle mass , decreased muscle fiber cross-sectional area and muscle fiber transition from slow to fast – all of which indicate impaired force production , or the capacity to move weight .
This also causes the downregulation of heat shock proteins , a family of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against excessive stress , and further worsen these changes .
In the study , mice were fed with a diet with fish oil and curcumin supplements for 10 days before subjecting the animals to mechanical unloading of the calf muscle .

Can fish oil and curcumin prevent muscle atrophy?
It's no secret that turmeric is one of the healthiest spices on the planet , thanks to curcumin, its primary active ingredient. While the spice is a key addition to many curries, most people find the taste to be a little too strong. Fish oil, on the other hand, is often linked to improved heart health. People often take it to lower their cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease, but it's also known for its fishy aftertaste. Here's where it gets interesting: Researchers from Texas A&M University suggest combining the two – in the name of improved muscle health.
In their study, recently published in Nutrition Research, the team noted that the interesting combination can benefit those who are unable to use their muscles, such as patients who are either immobilized or under bed rest, and even astronauts in spaceflight. The condition, which scientists refer to as mechanical unloading, can lead to muscle atrophy over time, where weakened muscles shrink and lose their mass. This can undoubtedly have negative effects on a person's quality of life, with muscle atrophy greatly impairing the ability to perform everyday activities.
Curcumin and fish oil enhance anti-stress proteins
Scientists have long identified the link between muscle inactivity, or mechanical unloading, and muscle atrophy. When skeletal muscle use becomes limited or decreased, it can lead to low muscle mass, decreased muscle fiber cross-sectional area and muscle fiber transition from slow to fast – all of which indicate impaired force production, or the capacity to move weight. This also causes the downregulation of heat shock proteins, a family of proteins that help build muscle and protect against excessive stress, and further worsen these changes.
In the study, mice were fed with a diet with fish oil and curcumin supplements for 10 days before subjecting the animals to mechanical unloading of the calf muscle. The researchers then took samples of their muscle fibers a week after the mice were unloaded to assess whether the combination positively affected biomarkers for muscle atrophy.
The findings revealed that supplementing with curcumin and fish oil resulted in a lower loss of muscle fiber after unloading, as well as increased the amount of heat shock proteins in the muscle. The researchers also found that the tissues had reduced levels of Nox2, a biomarker for oxidative stress. (Related: Preventing muscle atrophy in those with diabetes: Animal study reveals tocotrienols can increase skeletal muscle weight.)
“The combination of fish oil and curcumin prevents skeletal muscle atrophy due to a boost of heat shock proteins and anabolic signaling in an unloaded state,” the researchers concluded in their report.
Natural approaches for dealing with muscle atrophy
A number of factors can cause muscle atrophy. These include chronic illnesses, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or arthritis; injuries or conditions that damage the nerves that control the muscles; aging and poor nutrition. Aside from a loss in muscle mass, symptoms of muscle atrophy vary and may include:
Having a limb that's smaller than the others
Weakness, whether in one limb or generally
Difficulty balancing
To prevent and address muscle atrophy, healthcare practitioners will often recommend physical therapy. This involves a patient doing movements to prevent immobility and increase muscle strength. Other treatment options include nutritional therapy, where a person adopts a diet geared to provide him with adequate protein, calories and nutrients for muscle development; specific exercises that target the area of concern; and topical herbal treatments such as arnica, comfrey and wild thyme.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), approximately 16 million American adults are diagnosed with COPD in the US, with many more who might not even be aware that they have the disease. While most would think that COPD is a smoker's disease, there are certain non-cigarette risk factors that can trigger the disease even in non-smokers.
A non-smoker's nightmare
While it is true that smoking cigarettes is a primary risk factor for COPD, not all smokers actually develop the disease, and some COPD patients have not smoked a day in their life. In fact, data from the NHLBI show that only 75 percent of COPD patients are smokers or former smokers. This leaves a whopping 25 percent of the patients as non-smokers. The following are potential risk factors that can trigger the development of COPD in non-smokers.
Long-term pollutant exposure
Pollutants found both indoors and outdoors can cause COPD in people who have never smoked a cigarette. According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, indoor air pollution is the primary suspect for a lot of COPD cases. Other pollutants include toxic fumes, dust, industrial fumes and secondhand cigarette smoke.
Genes
Genetics can also play a role in whether you develop COPD or not. There is a chance that a person would inherit a condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency or just alpha-1. This refers to people with two abnormal genes inherited from their parents. According to the Alpha-1 Foundation, only 100,000 Americans have this condition in the US, with similar numbers shown in Europe. If you do have alpha-1 and it causes lung disease, it is called genetic COPD. Symptoms include shortness of breath, repeated chest infections, wheezing and frequent cough that produces mucus.
Other respiratory conditions
People with chronic asthma experience a higher risk of developing COPD, especially if they have difficulties in managing their condition effectively. In addition, people who have had severe respiratory problems when they were kids can also have a much higher risk of developing COPD compared to other people. Because of the scarring nature of tuberculosis, developing this disease can also increase your risk of COPD.
Sex and age
A study published in the journal Thorax compared the COPD cases of 5,176 adults, aged 40 years and older, who were smokers and non-smokers alike. They found that non-smokers made up 47 percent of the study cohort, 10 percent of which had COPD. The study also revealed that, in non-smokers, COPD affected 7.4 percent of women compared to the five percent of men. There were similar COPD case discrepancies in men and women smokers.
In addition, biomass fuel exposure – referring to 10 years or more exposure from using wood, coal or manure-burning indoor fire as a source of heating or cooking – affected women much more than men.
With all that said, you can lower your risk of COPD or even prevent it by simply never smoking cigarettes, as well as avoiding secondhand smoke. For smokers, putting down that cancer stick is the right course of action. In addition, you should use protective clothing and even face mask when you must pass through an area filled with pollutants to minimize the effects.
