The Whining of the Impeachment Basij

After a Progressive Democrat-led House impeachment process that included secret , behind-closed-door meetings that excluded any Republican ; that refused to allow Republicans to call witnesses of their choice ; that censored Republican lines of questioning ; and that Democrat leadership stated upon its codifying vote was “ proof positive ” and “ airtight ” , now Progressive-Democrats say they need an opportunity to “ make their case ” ?
The time for “ making the case ” was during the phase of the process when the case was required to be made .
That phase was the House impeachment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the idea of our legal system but it is a political vehicle that only draws loosely from that model .
Just as the House is not mandated to present evidence of a specific compilation of impeachable conduct ( i.e .

“Here, McConnell is trying to prevent the witness from ever testifying, and the public from ever finding out what they have to say…this will be the first impeachment trial in American history in which the Senate did not allow the House to present its case with witnesses and documents.” – House Democrats Impeachment Managers statement, January 21, 2020
After a Progressive Democrat-led House impeachment process that included secret, behind-closed-door meetings that excluded any Republican; that refused to allow Republicans to call witnesses of their choice; that censored Republican lines of questioning; and that Democrat leadership stated upon its codifying vote was “proof positive” and “airtight”, now Progressive-Democrats say they need an opportunity to “make their case”?
The time for “making the case” was during the phase of the process when the case was required to be made. That phase was the House impeachment phase.
The impeachment process draws from the idea of our legal system but it is a political vehicle that only draws loosely from that model. Just as the House is not mandated to present evidence of a specific compilation of impeachable conduct (i.e. they can be vague, as in the case presented against Trump), the Senate is not mandated to apply specific procedural rules or due-process standards during an impeachment trial (i.e. they do not have to satisfy a call for witnesses given that the evidentiary phase of the process was supposed to be satisfied in the House).

Aside from the fact that McConnell’s rules for the Senate impeachment trial include the caveat that Senators can vote on additional witnesses and documentary evidence after the House managers deliver their case, we are left with an obvious and obnoxious point.
The Progressive-Democrat impeachment managers floating of the false narrative that additional discovery is necessary is not only an indictment of an inadequate, flawed, and politicized process in the House, it stands as their conviction on the charge that the entire effort was manufactured to affect the 2020 General Election, the very thing they are accusing the President of doing.
Any insistence that witnesses be called is evidence that the House leadership – mainly Schiff, Nadler, and their respective committees, failed to make their case and were unsuccessful in meeting the requirements for impeachment.
Any insistence that additional evidence be submitted is proof the House Democrats failed to meet the burden of demonstrating that High Crimes and Misdemeanors have been committed and that they were, again, were ineffective in meeting the constitutional requirements for impeachment.
In a nutshell: There was and is no there, there.
To that end, any attempts by the House impeachment managers and Speaker Pelosi to apply pressure on the Senate to conduct their trial in any specific way is an unconstitutional encroachment onto the purview of the Senate and grotesque abuse of power. Further, McConnell (of whom I am not a fan) was absolutely correct to include a “kill switch” that allows the President’s defense team to request a motion to judgment or dismissal. To not have included that mechanism would have been to invite a trial by media and not by the Senate.
The totalitarian Islamofascist regime in Iran understands that they must maintain the ability to regulate opinion; to control the news, the narrative so that the illusion of legitimacy is maintained. In that pursuit, they instructed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to create the Basij. The Basij serve as an auxiliary force engaged in activities that include enforcing state control over society, policing morals, and suppressing dissident gatherings.
The coercive tactics of the Progressive-Democrat Basij – their attempt to bully the Senate into accepting their conditions for and definition of a fair trial, and their furious propagandizing to the American people; their attempt to control the narrative surrounding impeachment – is no less egregious than what the Iranian Basij do to the Iranian people who end up bloodied and dead in the streets of Tehran.
The protestations of Progressive-Democrats; their insistence that they get their way, rules be damned, are the protestations of an arrogant, elitist class of narcissists who have routinely violated due process to achieve their goals and bring about socially engineered changes they deem appropriate for all of our society.

Women’s March In DC Drops By 98% In 2 Years!
Remember when The D.C. Women’s March was a big news story? Now it seems to be just an event that is struggling to survive.
Disrn reports:
The Women’s March took place on Saturday but made much less noise than past years as its number of participants continues to fall precipitously. According to the National Park Service permit, there were fewer than 10,000 Washington, D.C. marchers this weekend, while last year saw about 100,000, and the year before that — the inaugural year of the Women’s march — a half-million protesters took part.
There were also “sister marches” in other U.S. cities which, according to reports, also attracted fewer participants than past years.
We rose up today to demand our elected officials step up and join us in building a just, bold vision for our country where climate justice, reproductive freedom, and immigrants’ rights are not up for debate. And it was powerful. #WomensMarch2020 #WomenRising 📸: @KishaBari pic.twitter.com/6lj5W6fr4I — Women's March (@womensmarch) January 18, 2020
The demonstrators identified three main reasons for their march this year: advocacy for abortion access, increased immigration, and action on climate change. Also, as each other year, opposition to President Trump featured prominently in the protests.

Amid numerous claims of anti-Semitism among Women’s March leadership, the group has recently seen dwindling support, the resignation of multiple leaders, and abandonment from sponsors — including the AFL-CIO, Center for American Progress, Emily’s List, and National Resources Defense Council.
There were also no speakers at event this year, in sharp contrast to previous marches which featured speeches from famous activists and celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera, Michael Moore, Cecile Richards, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, and Kamala Harris.

Their current causes are worn out.
How about taxpayer-funded breast implants?

Because women are beautiful just the way God created them.

California:  Cop Arrested For Faking War On Cops Story Of Sniper Shooting Him, Setting Off Massive Manhunt

Los Angeles , CA — The country watched in horror last year after news stations across America ran the story of how Los Angeles Sheriff ’ s Deputy Angel Reinosa was shot in the shoulder by a sniper as he walked from his patrol car into the station .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-22--French Textbook Links CIA to 9/11

French Textbook Links CIA to 9/11

A French Publisher has now apologized for printing history textbooks that linked the CIA to 9/11 .
Here ’ s more from The BBC : A French publisher has apologised after a history textbook that appeared in bookshops in recent weeks suggested the 11 September 2001 attacks were probably “ orchestrated by the CIA ” .
The debunked conspiracy theory was apparently highlighted on social media initially by a group of schoolteachers .
The book History of the 20th Century in Flash Cards is aimed at undergraduate students .
On its website , the publisher said the phrase should never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ echoes conspiracy theories devoid of any factual basis should never have been used in this work .
It doesn ’ t reflect the editorial position either of Ellipses publications or the author , ” it said ( in French ) .
The textbook is described as a complete course on the last century in French , European and world history .
It was written by Jean-Pierre Rocher , a teacher of history and geography and a graduate of the Sciences Po university in Paris , and aimed at Sciences Po undergraduates as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elite “ grandes écoles ” .
Although the book came out in November , it was not until the daughter of one of the secondary school teachers bought a copy that one of them spotted the reference to the CIA .
On page 204 the author explains the context of the creation of the jihadist group , al-Qaeda and the “ quadruple terrorist attack of 11/9 2001 on New York and Washington ” .
He then makes the following statement .
“ This global event – no doubt orchestrated by the CIA ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Middle East ?
– hit the symbols of American power on its own territory.
” I do find it rather ridiculous to print a conspiracy theory as history , but… When was this conspiracy theory debunked ?
I ’ m afraid we haven ’ t seen any of these conspiracies debunked on this side of the pond .
• GHOST PLANES : How did all the physical evidence of terrorist planes on 9/11 mysteriously vanish ?

A French Publisher has now apologized for printing history textbooks that linked the CIA to 9/11.
The obvious question is…
Was the information correct?
A French publisher has apologised after a history textbook that appeared in bookshops in recent weeks suggested the 11 September 2001 attacks were probably “orchestrated by the CIA”.
The debunked conspiracy theory was apparently highlighted on social media initially by a group of schoolteachers.
The book History of the 20th Century in Flash Cards is aimed at undergraduate students.
On its website, the publisher said the phrase should never have appeared.
“This phrase which echoes conspiracy theories devoid of any factual basis should never have been used in this work. It doesn’t reflect the editorial position either of Ellipses publications or the author,” it said (in French).
The textbook is described as a complete course on the last century in French, European and world history. It was written by Jean-Pierre Rocher, a teacher of history and geography and a graduate of the Sciences Po university in Paris, and aimed at Sciences Po undergraduates as well as students preparing for France’s elite “grandes écoles”.
Although the book came out in November, it was not until the daughter of one of the secondary school teachers bought a copy that one of them spotted the reference to the CIA.
On page 204 the author explains the context of the creation of the jihadist group, al-Qaeda and the “quadruple terrorist attack of 11/9 2001 on New York and Washington”. He then makes the following statement.
“This global event – no doubt orchestrated by the CIA (secret services) to impose American influence on the Middle East? – hit the symbols of American power on its own territory.”
Read the rest…
#####
I do find it rather ridiculous to print a conspiracy theory as history, but…
When was this conspiracy theory debunked?
I’m afraid we haven’t seen any of these conspiracies debunked on this side of the pond.
It has been reported on numerous occasions that roughly half of Americans don’t believe the official story of 9/11.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I am one of them.
The truth is out there, but we are unlikely to find it in my lifetime.

Designated Islamic terror group Council on American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR ) has announced that it is launching its 2020 “ Muslims Vote ” campaign that seeks to empower antichrist Muslims in America by “ increasing their political capacity and presence in the 2020 General Election.

The final few questions beginning at the Trust Act , except for those about voter discrimination , which is not discrimination at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries if one desires to do so are the only things I see in there that appear to be a serious consideration of unconstitutionality .
However , the First Amendment , contrary to popular opinion , was never designed to protect the public practice of Islam in the US .
And keep in mind how Muslims have been gaining political traction in the US in the past couple of years .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ protected in the First Amendment despite the unconstitutional “ laws ” regarding discrimination .
The fact that the right to “ assemble ” necessarily imports the idea of who one assembles with and who one doesn ’ t makes discrimination “ laws ” unconstitutional , plain and simple , whether in business , your home or any place else .

This week Americans will be paying tribute to this century ’ s likely brightest orator and most dedicated man to individual liberty , Reverend Michael King , Jr. , aka Martin Luther King , Jr .

His mission was to proclaim the Gospel and his basis was God-given rights , and liberty under Law , which in his case was eloquent enough to land him behind bars .
You see , King understood that an unjust , man-made law is to be disobeyed .
In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail , he stated “ One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws .
Conversely , one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goes on to quote renowned theologian and early church father Augustine that , “ …an unjust law is no law at all.

As stated in his letter , “ A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.
” This definition coincides with what the Declaration calls “ the laws of Nature and Nature ’ s God ” .

However , in recent years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that purported laws draw their efficacy — their validity — from adherence to these two fixed standards .

This week Americans will be paying tribute to this century’s likely brightest orator and most dedicated man to individual liberty, Reverend Michael King, Jr., aka Martin Luther King, Jr. While I am almost certain that the good minister from Atlanta, Georgia, would not condone having a day named after him, I do not condone the worthless heaping of accolades by any people group who co-opt, blindly turn from, or outright despise the Christian minister’s teachings.
Immorality, theft, vandalism, Second Amendment violations, and so-called civil rights were not the basis of this Baptist minister’s philosophies. His mission was to proclaim the Gospel and his basis was God-given rights, and liberty under Law, which in his case was eloquent enough to land him behind bars.
You see, King understood that an unjust, man-made law is to be disobeyed.
In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, he stated “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
Why?
Pastor King’s letter goes on to quote renowned theologian and early church father Augustine that, “…an unjust law is no law at all.”
King knew the definition of law. As stated in his letter, “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.” This definition coincides with what the Declaration calls “the laws of Nature and Nature’s God”.
At one time in our history, this was widely understood. However, in recent years, Americans have largely forgotten the fact that purported laws draw their efficacy — their validity — from adherence to these two fixed standards. Indeed, in modern times, these two critical standards are not applied by most Americans to the actions of government because these two critical standards are not studied or even known to the people.
Americans desperately need to be reintroduced to the Supreme Law of the Universe (the Bible) and the supreme law of the land (the Constitution).
This country, as great as it is, suffers from many sociopolitical diseases, one of which Dr. King coined “schizophrenia” when discussing founding documents like the Declaration of Independence.
He describes that government has a tendency to praise one concept while malevolently tearing down its foundations.
The lesson for us today is we need to resist what is not law and obey what is; but, of course, we need to know the difference.

The father of eight was murdered in accordance with Qur ’ an 47:4 — Islamic ritual slaughter .

“ To break some news items can traumatize .

Pastor Andimi had said in a Boko @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 that he hoped to be reunited with his wife , children and colleagues .
“ If the opportunity has not been granted , maybe it is the will of God , ” he said .
“ I want all people close and far , colleagues , to be patient .

“ I have never been discouraged , because all conditions that one finds himself is in the hand of God , ” Pastor Andimi said in the video .

” Ayokunle said in the statement .
“ Is this government and the security agencies still claiming that the war against these criminals in religious garments has been won despite all the killings ?
Is the government sincere in fighting these terrorists or merely paying lip service to the war against the insurgency ?
Is there any hope that our security is guaranteed under this government ?
” CAN ’ s director of legal and public affairs , Kwamkur Vondip , reportedly said in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything within her reach to secure the safe release of this pastor gentleman but it was not possible because they didn ’ t have the military power to do so , ” according to The Nation .

“ In the light of the current developments and the circumstantial facts surrounding the prevailing upsurge of attacks against the church , it will be difficult for us to believe that the federal government under President Muhammadu Buhari is not colluding with the insurgents to exterminate Christians in Nigeria , bearing in mind the very questionable leadership of the security sector that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region !
“ Is that lopsidedness not a cover-up for the operation of the insurgency ?
If not , why couldn ’ t the well-equipped security agents of Nigeria get this man killed rescued ?
” Vondip urged the government to ensure the release of Leah Sharibu , kidnapped from a high school in Dapchi , Yobe state in February 2018 , and hundreds of other victims of Boko Haram and splinter group the Islamic State ’ s West Africa Province ( ISWAP ) .
“ A government that can not protect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vondip said .
“ Can the government tell us what they did since Rev .
Andimì cried out to them for help ?
…If the security agencies claim the terrorists are operating outside the country , why is it possible for these hoodlums to invade the country , kill , maim , burn and kidnap without any convincing checks on the part of the security agencies ?

BOKO HARAM EXECUTES BRETHREN PASTOR IN NORTHEAST NIGERIA
CHRISTIAN LEADER IN ADAMAWA STATE SOUGHT RESCUE BUT ENTRUSTED HIS FATE TO GOD.
By Our Nigeria Correspondent
JOS, Nigeria, January 21, 2020 (Morning Star News) – The Rev. Lawan Andimi had a treasured life – loving family, an affectionate congregation, respect from his colleagues.
The kidnapped district chairman of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN) in Michika County, in northeast Nigeria’s Adamawa state, had stated in a video that he trusted in God should he lose his life to Islamic terrorists of Boko Haram. The rebel militants executed the father of eight children on Monday (Jan. 20), the head of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) confirmed today.
Ahmad Salkida, a Muslim journalist who has been a primary means for Boko Haram to release information, reported in a tweet today that the group beheaded Pastor Andimi on Monday afternoon.
Boko Haram’s journalist – their primary means to release information — hasn’t been arrested?
“To break some news items can traumatize. I’m battling with one of such. Reverend Andimi, abducted by #BokoHaram was executed yesterday,” Salkida tweeted. “Rev. Andimi was a church leader, a father to his children and the community he served. My condolences go to his family.”
CAN President Samson Ayokunle today confirmed in a comment to the Nigerian newspaper the Daily Post that Pastor Andimi had been executed.
Pastor Andimi had said in a Boko Haram video released by Salkida on Jan. 5 that he hoped to be reunited with his wife, children and colleagues.
“If the opportunity has not been granted, maybe it is the will of God,” he said. “I want all people close and far, colleagues, to be patient. Don’t cry, don’t worry, but thank God for everything.”
Pastor Andimi, who also served as chairman of CAN’s local chapter, was kidnapped on Jan. 2 when Boko Haram attacked two Christian communities in the area.
In the video released on Jan. 5, the pastor called on church leaders to speak out for him and urge Adamawa Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri to intervene to secure his release.
“I have never been discouraged, because all conditions that one finds himself is in the hand of God,” Pastor Andimi said in the video.
Strongly Worded Statement
CAN President Ayokunle said in a press statement that the execution of Pastor Andimi was “gruesome, unfortunate and a shame on the federal government,” according to Nigerian newspaper The Nation.
“What has become of intelligence-gathering of our security agencies?” Ayokunle said in the statement. “Is this government and the security agencies still claiming that the war against these criminals in religious garments has been won despite all the killings? Is the government sincere in fighting these terrorists or merely paying lip service to the war against the insurgency? Is there any hope that our security is guaranteed under this government?”
CAN’s director of legal and public affairs, Kwamkur Vondip, reportedly said in a statement that the church did “everything within her reach to secure the safe release of this pastor gentleman but it was not possible because they didn’t have the military power to do so,” according to The Nation.
“Just last Sunday, a clergyman, Rev. Denis Bagauri, was murdered by unknown gunmen in his residence at Mayo Belwa of Adamawa state,” Vondip reportedly said. “The church views the unabated kidnappings, extortions and killings of Christians and innocent Nigerians as shameful to the government that each time boasts that it has conquered insurgency.”
In the strongly worded statement, Vondip said it was reprehensible and saddening that each time the government claims the defeat of Boko Haram, more killings are committed.
“In the light of the current developments and the circumstantial facts surrounding the prevailing upsurge of attacks against the church, it will be difficult for us to believe that the federal government under President Muhammadu Buhari is not colluding with the insurgents to exterminate Christians in Nigeria, bearing in mind the very questionable leadership of the security sector that has been skewed towards a religion and region!
“Is that lopsidedness not a cover-up for the operation of the insurgency? If not, why couldn’t the well-equipped security agents of Nigeria get this man killed rescued?”
Vondip urged the government to ensure the release of Leah Sharibu, kidnapped from a high school in Dapchi, Yobe state in February 2018, and hundreds of other victims of Boko Haram and splinter group the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP).
“A government that cannot protect the governed is a failed government,” Vondip said. “Can the government tell us what they did since Rev. Andimì cried out to them for help?…If the security agencies claim the terrorists are operating outside the country, why is it possible for these hoodlums to invade the country, kill, maim, burn and kidnap without any convincing checks on the part of the security agencies?
“Since the government and its apologists are claiming the killings have no religious undertones, why are the terrorists and herdsmen targeting the predominantly Christian communities and Christian leaders?
“If the security agencies are not living up to the expectations of the government, why hasn’t it overhauled them with a view of injecting new visionary ones into the security system?”
He said that as long as the government refuses to act, the crimes will continue.
“We are almost losing hope in government’s ability to protect Nigerians, especially Christians who have become endangered species under its watch,” he said.
Ayokunle called on the international community to come to the aid of Nigeria, “especially, the Nigerian church, so that we might not be eliminated one by one.”
President Buhari, in a statement to the Daily Post, said security forces were working continuously to secure the release of hostages and appealed for Nigerians not to see terrorist attacks and plans as a religious fight or persecution of Christians.
“Not seeing terrorists as they should be is exactly what they wish to divide Nigerians,” Buhari said in the statement. “Nigerians must continue to be united in ensuring that they do not subscribe to the terrorists’ message of division. Unfortunately, some leaders and politicians seek to make political capital from our religious differences.
“As we fight Boko Haram on the ground, so too must we tackle their beliefs: stability and unity in face of their hatred is itself a rejection of their worldview. This government shall never tolerate religious intolerance. We clearly and unambiguously restate our support for the freedom to practice whichever belief you wish. The politicization of religion – as forbidden by the constitution – has no place in Nigeria.”
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-24--Coincidence? US Patent For ‘An Attenuated Coronavirus’ Filed In 2015 Was Granted In 2018

We are being told that the coronavirus outbreak which is currently escalating at an exponential rate probably started with a snake .
Perhaps that is true , but a lot of researchers are now pointing out some really odd “ coincidences ” regarding this outbreak .
For example , China ’ s very first biosafety-level-4 lab is located just 20 miles away from where this outbreak supposedly originated .
And a news report about this lab from a few years ago specifically stated that it would be “ studying the pathogen that causes SARS ” .
Of course , SARS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now a “ new coronavirus ” has been unleashed in the only Chinese city where coronavirus research was being conducted .
I will discuss this more later in the article , but first I want to talk about the very odd “ coincidence ” that a U.S. patent for “ an attenuated coronavirus ” was granted not too long ago .
As you can see right here , the patent was filed in July 2015 and it was granted in November 2018 .
So it has just been a little over a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a summary of this patent , this attenuated coronavirus “ may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease ” … This patent was filed by the Pilbright Institute , and as Stefan Stanford has pointed out , some of the major backers of the Pilbright Institute include the World Health Organization , the European Commission , and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Okay , that is more than just a little bit weird .
Could it be possible that researchers at the biosafety-level-4 lab in Wuhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
We don ’ t have an answer to that question , but what we do know is that this biosafety-level-4 lab was the very first one to be constructed in China .
According to an article that was published by Nature in February 2017 , this lab would be working “ with the world ’ s most dangerous pathogens ” once it opened… A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world ’ s most dangerous pathogens .
The move is part of a plan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level-4 ( BSL-4 ) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025 , and has generated much excitement , as well as some concerns .
Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping , and the addition of a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions between China and other nations .
But Chinese microbiologists are celebrating their entrance to the elite cadre empowered to wrestle with the world ’ s greatest biological threats .
There are less than 60 such labs on the entire planet , and they are equipped with cutting edge equipment .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ The lab cost approximately 44 million dollars to build , and the Nature article specifically mentioned that future plans for the facility included “ studying the pathogen that causes SARS ” .
In other words , coronavirus research was to be conducted in this lab .
Perhaps it is just a wild coincidence that the coronavirus outbreak began in the only city in China with a biosafety-level-4 lab that was conducting coronavirus research .
An article that was just posted by LiveScience seems to think that this is actually a fortuitous development… As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , only one lab in the country meets the required biosafety standards needed to study the new disease .
The lab happens to sit in the center of Wuhan , the city where the newly identified coronavirus first appeared , according to the , an Indian news outlet .
The facility , known as the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory , is housed within the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was specifically designed to help Chinese scientists “ prepare for and respond to future infectious disease outbreaks , ” according to a published by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prevention ( CDC ) .
Nobody in the mainstream media is likely to connect the dots , and we shouldn ’ t expect them to do so .
But it is very interesting to note that the SARS virus “ has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times ” … Of course , those facilities were not biosafety-level-4 labs , but it does show a pattern of past negligence that is definitely quite alarming .
The Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory is located approximately 20 miles away from the Huanan Seafood Market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lab had absolutely nothing to do with this outbreak and instead a really sick snake unleashed this pathogen on the world .
You can believe that if you want , but for many of us the “ coincidences ” are starting to become too startling to ignore .

Of course, SARS was caused by a coronavirus, and now a “new coronavirus” has been unleashed in the only Chinese city where coronavirus research was being conducted.

So it has just been a little over a year since the patent was granted.
According to a summary of this patent, this attenuated coronavirus “may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease”…
The present invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. The coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject.
Very interesting.
This patent was filed by the Pilbright Institute, and as Stefan Stanford has pointed out, some of the major backers of the Pilbright Institute include the World Health Organization, the European Commission, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Okay, that is more than just a little bit weird.
Could it be possible that researchers at the biosafety-level-4 lab in Wuhan were studying this “attenuated coronavirus”?
We don’t have an answer to that question, but what we do know is that this biosafety-level-4 lab was the very first one to be constructed in China.
According to an article that was published by Nature in February 2017, this lab would be working “with the world’s most dangerous pathogens” once it opened…
A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns. Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping, and the addition of a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions between China and other nations. But Chinese microbiologists are celebrating their entrance to the elite cadre empowered to wrestle with the world’s greatest biological threats.
There are less than 60 such labs on the entire planet, and they are equipped with cutting edge equipment. The following comes from the Daily Mail…
It was the first ever lab in the country designed to meet biosafetey-level-4 (BSL-4) standards – the highest biohazard level, meaning that it would be qualified to handle the most dangerous pathogens. BSL-4 labs have to be equipped with airtight hazmat suits or special ‘cabinet’ work spaces that confine viruses and bacteria that can be transmitted through the air to sealed boxes that scientists reach into using attached high-grade gloves.
The lab cost approximately 44 million dollars to build, and the Nature article specifically mentioned that future plans for the facility included “studying the pathogen that causes SARS”.
In other words, coronavirus research was to be conducted in this lab.
Perhaps it is just a wild coincidence that the coronavirus outbreak began in the only city in China with a biosafety-level-4 lab that was conducting coronavirus research.
An article that was just posted by LiveScience seems to think that this is actually a fortuitous development…
As an escalating viral outbreak unfolds in China, only one lab in the country meets the required biosafety standards needed to study the new disease. The lab happens to sit in the center of Wuhan, the city where the newly identified coronavirus first appeared, according to the Hindustan Times , an Indian news outlet. The facility, known as the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, is housed within the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was specifically designed to help Chinese scientists “prepare for and respond to future infectious disease outbreaks,” according to a 2019 report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Nobody in the mainstream media is likely to connect the dots, and we shouldn’t expect them to do so. But it is very interesting to note that the SARS virus “has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times”…
But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Of course, those facilities were not biosafety-level-4 labs, but it does show a pattern of past negligence that is definitely quite alarming.
The Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory is located approximately 20 miles away from the Huanan Seafood Market where this outbreak supposedly originated.
Perhaps the lab had absolutely nothing to do with this outbreak and instead a really sick snake unleashed this pathogen on the world.
You can believe that if you want, but for many of us the “coincidences” are starting to become too startling to ignore.
