A Chinese Communist Party (CCP) defector claims that the Chinese Government deliberately spread Covid at an international military tournament in Wuhan two months before the World Health Organisation was notified about the first case of the virus. He says that some athletes at the event came down with Covid-like symptoms but that those he approached with his concerns – including figures in the Trump administration – seemed uninterested. The Mail Australia has the story.
Ex-CCP insider Wei Jingsheng said the World Military Games in October 2019 could have acted as the virus’ first superspreader event. …
Mr. Jingsheng claimed it was no coincidence some of the 9,000 international athletes who gathered for the event reportedly became sick with a mystery illness.
“I thought the Chinese Government would take this opportunity to spread the virus during the Military Games, as many foreigners would show up there,” he told the new Sky News documentary What Really Happened in Wuhan.
The whistleblower claimed he had heard of the Chinese Government carrying out an “unusual exercise” during the games.
“[I knew] of the possibility of the Chinese Government using some strange weapons, including biological weapons, because I knew they were doing experiments of that sort,” he said.
His claims were supported by the former Principal China Adviser to the U.S. State Department Miles Yu.
He said French, German and American athletes were among those to fall ill at the tournament with Covid-like symptoms, but were never tested for the virus.
“We see some indications in our own data… that there was Covid circulating in the United States as early as early December, possibly earlier than that,’ ex-U.S. State Department Covid investigator David Asher said.
Mr. Jingsheng also claims he took his concerns about the unfolding situation to senior figures within the Trump administration in November 2019 but was ignored.
The long-time democracy campaigner, who has served time in prison for “counter-revolutionary activities”, said he made the approach as whispers of a “new SARS virus” began circulating on WeChat and other Chinese social media platforms.
“I felt they were not as concerned as I was, so I tried my best to provide more detail and information,” he said.
“They may not believe that a Government of a country would do something like that (cover up a virus), so I kept repeating myself in an effort … to persuade them.” …
The Chinese dissident would not disclose which political leaders he spoke to but insisted they were senior government figures and had the ear of then-President Donald Trump.
“I’m not sure if this politician wants me to talk about him right here,” he said.
“But I want to say he is a high enough politician, high enough to be able to reach the President of the United States.”

The only thing we have to fear is fear iteslf. And the fears of our fellow citizens, who seem to enjoy the new dystopia.
All my life (I am 79) I have wondered how the German people were persuaded to support Hitler’s plans to eliminate the Jewish people and why those persecuted did not rise up.
I have obviously been aware of the power of state run propaganda like the BBC and other left wing outlets around the world to poison the minds of the gullible – especially our schools.
This is the first time I have seen it in action with the tragic results reported here.
How whole populations are not capable of doing basic research into this Chinese flu planned demic beats me. But shows how propaganda works.
It does. It also shows that sadly, the vast majority of people are gullible and stupid.
Indeed. Some also even identify the Brenda and Phil the Greek loving and BBC as ‘left wing’!
Well I know we disagree on the BBC and whether it is “left wing”, partly I think because of the difficulty in pinning down meanings for such terms, especially at present, but leaving that aside I think the BBC’s pro-Royalness is not a sign in itself that it’s not “left wing”. I think they realise a lot of their viewers/listeners are older Royal-lovers and shy away from attacking them. I think there are things to be said for and against the monarchy but broadly they have been demonstrated as irrelevant by covid. I think the BBC people pushing agendas (consciously or sub consciously) realise the battle is not worth the effort.
Plus, most of the Royals seem to be woke, eco-lefties these days so would feel quite at home on the BBC…
While the idea of a Royal Family seems archaic and traditionalist, a lot of it seems like empty theatre and they have clearly adapted to modern trends, which is why they’ve not been attacked much.
The BBC is a Royal Charter organisation and as such is required to have a certain amount of deference for the institution of monarchy (in the same way as the Church of England, for example). I used to work for a Royal Chartered body myself and a certain amount of deference was expected there as well (eg, pictures of HMQ on the walls, Loyal Toast at formal events etc). It doesn’t mean the BBC is ‘pro-monarchy’.
I have felt shame at myself for not doing more to oppose during this terrible time. I expect many Germans living in the Nazi era felt that way too.
I have thought the same thing, and it’s chilling to know quite how easy it must have been isn’t it?
A few years ago myself and Mr Gum went to Berchtesgaden in Bavaria to visit Hitlers ‘Eagles Nest’. You have to park up and a bus takes you up, but before that you go to the Obersalzberg Documentation museum. There are literally millions of pieces of paper propaganda in there. I hadn’t quite realised how much of it there was, and how much saturation there must have been, In schools, at work, in buildings…just everywhere. Paper Psy-Ops on a grand scale!
Fear propaganda works sadly, and it is going to be very hard to undo the damage of the last 16 months.
And the big push for climate change idiocy is clearly in the pipeline.
Yes, it’s not CAS, Covid Anxiety Syndrome, it’s GAS, Government-inspired Anxiety Syndrome.
Can they not get some more propaganda to tell them it’s OK?
Ideally the government should start telling people that the risks from covid are very small even for people with underlying health conditions. Sadly this won’t happen as it would require them admitting that they’ve been lying for the last year and a half.
I wonder if the rise in anxiety is something the government should’ve foreseen but didn’t or was just one more effect of lockdown that they didn’t care about.
Everybody suffering from covid anxiety should be prescribed a daily dose of lockdown sceptics as the 1st part of their treatment, and should be regarded as victims of propaganda rather than hopeless bedwetters.
IMO this psychosis will be used by the government as justification for the continuation of restrictions after 19 July. ‘The public demands it’ etc.
How will they get pharmaceutical companies to pay for that? Or am I being too cynical?
No, cos we have more of the agenda to come. Fear will continue.
Those with CAS should Stay at Home Save The NHS and let the rest of us live our lives.
OK, bit harsh, but you get the point.
Or put another way, we should all be allowed to just get on with our lives so that those with CAS can see there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Exactly. Apparently (because I don’t have one) you should never overtly fuss over a dog during a thunderstorm because that teaches it that there IS something to fear. Instead just act normal around the dog so it knows there is nothing wrong and nothing to be afraid of. Same with people. Lead by example and let them see there is nothing externally to fear. But their psychosis is their problem to own and deal with, not ours.
Not in the least a ‘bit harsh’- these people are pathetic, hand wringing excuses for human beings. If they can’t tell it’s OK to go outside after 16 months of this, or that it’s actually healthier to go outside even, then they should stay indoors and out of the way. My contempt for grown adults behaving like frightened baby animals knows no bounds…it really is time to put your big boy trousers on people!
Yes. And when people you thought you’ve known well for many years start behaving like frightened children and accuse you of selfishness, perhaps it’s time to find new friends. But where? Where can I find a club for people like me?

“ We should be allowed” !! Get on with your life man, Its yours to live
Have no fear, Mike, my family and I haven’t stopped doing anything we normally do (travel, etc).
But I am not an island, I am not a rock – if everyone continues to comply, they will keep taking our freedoms – so really I am urging everyone I see to do as I do and as you suggest.
I agree.
It is widely recognised that it is unhelpful for others to go along with OCD (which is what this supposed “new” syndrome really is), as that just reinforces it and makes it worse. Indeed, one of the standard treatments for OCD is to encourage people suffeing from it to try not to engage in avoidance behaviour.
If people are afraid, they can stay at home and avoid contact. They can socially distance, they can walk, they can cycle, they can drive, they can order on line, they can work from home or change their job, they can compromise the future of their children, they can interact with the world through their little screens, but they have no right to expect the rest of the world to fit in with them. The Amish manage to coexist with the rest of the modern world and don’t insist that we all use horses and carts, let the Covid deranged isolate themselves.
So, 4-in-5 are not crippled by anxiety? That’s good news.
I sympathise with the 20%, as they are victims of a sustained psychological campaign.
And don’t forget there were a lot of people suffering mental health problems already.
The statistic that got me was that there was (pre-2020, mark you) a higher percentage of young women with some sort of mental health problem than of army veterans who had servedd in combat zones. Strangely, this never seemed to be a very big issue in the msm…
It was grossly irresponsible of the government to mount a campaign based on fear, and especially in these circumstances. Women and children first and helping damsels in distress may be old-fashioned, but for me it has been criminal of the government to apparently ignore this completely (and vaccine coercion of young and pregnant women was a good example).
Propaganda tactic used to guilt us back into lockdown
Surely, if we really want to help those with CAS, those of us who aren’t worried should be allowed to live free, lead by example, and demonstrate that there’s nothing to worry about.
Ah, but such a policy wouldn’t keep everyone enslaved, would it…?
I got the train into Brighton to watch the Cricket on Friday evening.
What was hugely encouraging for me is that the vast majority of young people were not wearing masks. In fact, they showed every sign of enjoying life and behaving ‘irresponsibly’ by cheerfully drinking, hugging each other, etc. As youngsters should.
This was the first time in months I’ve got the train and not felt like Charlton Heston in ‘The Omega Man’.
I’m hoping the tide is turning.
Here people are still mostly wearing masks in shops, but they are walking the “wrong way” round the supermarket quite a lot Small steps . . .
I too have noticed more freefacers lately. Not many, but certainly more than there were even just a month or two ago.
Bedwetters stay home!
Is fear the excuse for brutish authoritarian scum like this US doctor (former President of Planned Parenthood, apparently) given an uncritical platform on leftist mainstream media to advocate coerced experimental medication of dissenters?

“It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated…..we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice.”
I had an argument last year with a pro- abortion and pro-lockdown friend- I asked about ‘my body, my choice’ and she actually said that abortion doesn’t affect anyone else so it is different. I was not a little taken aback and asked her to repeat this, but she was bemused, wondering why…what can you say to that? I’m not against abortion specifically BTW, just wondered how she could hold both views.
Diddums.
God save us from these hysterical hypochondriacs. GET A GRIP.
Let’s get some focus here! Essentially, the anxiety is not due to release of lockdown. It is due to scaremongering about covid. Whether there is lockdown or not, this anxiety will remain until its causes are removed. Pandering to the causes is no way to remove this anxiety.
So important for halfwitted sheeples to get support.
Not like people in such pain that they yanked their own teeth out because the dentist was too cowardly to help them, then. Not like cancer patients during the first savage lockdown, then. Or old people in care home hell. Or people dying in solitude without the ‘support’ of their loved ones.
Diddums.
Nearly half, 46%, of those who have been vaccinated, say they are still concerned they will catch the virus.
Not surprising. That’s what they have repeatedly been told, as they clamp on their face knickers. For once, they have probably been told the truth. What they haven’t been told is hoe astronomically unlikely it is that the virus will do them any harm.
Some of us have been living in fear and anxiety for the last year and can’t wait to be able to sleep soundly again.

“If you want a picture of the present, imagine Susan Michie’s boot stamping on your face – forever.”
It would appear supporting your country’s Football team or enjoying others’ company in a hospitality setting override this anxiety.
It’s quite remarkable how many people seem to suffer from this anxiety at the thought of having to go back into an office (even part-time), but magically don’t suffer from it when it comes to their social lives…
Got it in one, CynicalRealist!
This is a “nudge” poll/report to try and get the those who aren’t anxious to modify their behaviour and pander to the fears of the anxious by voluntarily continuing to wear masks etc. And just to encourage is we have a new threat from Whitty that if we don’t “behave responsibly” a new lockdown may be required later in the year.
My personal belief is that those who aren’t Covid fearties need to demonstrate to the anxious that there is nothing to be scared of by behaving as close to old normal as possible. Which is what I’ve been doing all along.
Exactly. It’s been hard, all I have had from my colleagues and the strangers I see in the shops are evil glares, a handful of very nasty remarks and threats of violence, and accusations of being a science denier, conspiracy theorist, QAnon member, mentally instable, cold-hearted, callous etc.
Stay strong, RTSC.
To some people it is now a religion, and any questioning of “The Science” and its rituals, no matter how mild and reasonably-expressed, will cause them to take umbrage. Standard accusations are that anyone not fully bought-in is a “Covid-denier”, a “conspiracy theorist”, is “happy to let people die”, is a “science denier” (very ironic, that one!), and so on.It all goes to show how easily many people are influenced by propaganda.
40% of people avoided touching things outside before Covid-19. Its called hygiene. Using public conveniences when we knew most people didn’t wash their hands was another reason people used a clean tissue to simply open doors to leave…what’s new?
Even cash point machines were filthy, now they are clean…about time too.
Howard! I thought you’d gone?
Interesting poll in btl comments

We shouldn’t be surprised. The government has bullied, frightened and coerced us all. We have all been affected in some way: it has certainly damaged my mental health. It was entirely foreseeable that for a proportion of the population the damage would manifest itself as a sort of Stockholm Syndrome.
What about therapy for those poor sods (us) who daily have to face the awful truth thqt the world has gone mad, global governments are mostly wicked, and we are likely to remain persecuted outcasts for decades?
Julian, I recommend you frequent or move to a “deprived” area and meet people who have been on the wrong side of authority all their lives. It’s very refreshing. For them this is nothing new – Business as Usual, in fact. People with “CAS” exist in my area, but they are few and far between. Masks in shops is still a thing, but yesterday and Saturday I saw a LOT more people not wearing them – possibly over one quarter.
Spot on. Sadly not long before covid I moved in precisely the other direction – and in many ways the move has been good, but from a covid point of view I would 100% agree – when I drive through shabby parts of North London on the way home from trips to the city, I see shops, cafes and restaurants with unmasked people behaving normally.
I hope you didn’t take out a big mortgage to support your move, Julian. Rates are low… currently.
Thanks for your concern, but we’re OK on that front, just surrounded by ultra-compliant people – in other ways a good thing (e.g. low crime, don’t meet too many edgy people – until they get drunk on Friday and Saturday night) but terrible if you’re in the middle of a scamdemic.
Glad to hear it, Julian. Stay sane.
I do NOT believe this crap, I have not heard one person talk like that, its been more of “ fuck why wait to the 19th we will drop it now ! “
Most people have realised they have been conned.
I wish you were right, but you clearly mix with more sensible people than I do. I know plenty of people who are worried, including the young and healthy.
My local pub is the same, Mike. I was in there Saturday evening. Not a mask in sight. Everyone behaving 100% normally, just as it was in the Before Covid Era. No stupid attempts to distance, no “COVID Dance”, everyone walking straight to the bar, paying cash, taking their own drinks away, sitting, standing, indoors, outdoors. TOTALLY NORMAL. And it was BUSY. Lovely!
Obviously there were QR codes stuck in many places, stickers on the floor saying “WAIT HERE, QUEUE HERE” etc., everywhere, but hey ho.
Oh, and from the little talk there was about all this sh*te, no one I spoke to is having the experimental gene therapy.
Wish I could find this pub you speak of.
You’re generalising from limited experience – as we all do to some extent.
However, over the last month, I’ve been in a number of places, from the south-west to northern Scotland. and sampled a cross-section of those mixing-points : motorway services and that great leveller – the public bog.
I have to say, mask-wearing was almost universal in these venues, in shops and restaurants/pubs, and in stop-overs. How deeply embedded, I don’t know. We’ll just have to see, but I was very much in a very small (vanishing) minority.
The Scots are more bullied and brainwashed than the Brits.
Same as a pub we frequent ,strange it has to be pointed out just how ‘normal’ this is…
This Gov will never be held to account for the damage they’ve caused with lockdowns. Nobody is even talking about it never mind questioning it.
I agree – the ‘calling-to-account fantasies’ are touching – but they are fantasies on current evidence.
How is this different from OCD? That can have a wide variety of manifestations, and this appears to be one of them – not sure why it justifies a separate categorisation.
Presumably it’s just the usual Covid-exceptionalism where everything relating to it has to be made out to be new and unprecedented?
“Presumably it’s just the usual Covid-exceptionalism where everything relating to it has to be made out to be new and unprecedented?”
Exactly. Just like when, in March 2020, daily death tolls were being piped to everyone’s digital indoctrination devices in their pockets.
Everyone I knew (apart from my family) thought that was because the death rates were exceptional. Pointing out the fact they were quite normal earned me the title of “conspiracy theorist.”
No. This is justified as an identified syndrome of induced hypochondria with its own aetiology. That’s not your average OCD illness.
The psy-op is as much an infective agent as something physical.
The deliberate creation of this climate of fear, with the consequent long-term damage to millions, has been one of the most egregious acts by this government (and the competition for egregious acts is stif)
We cannot continue to pander to the perennially petrified.
Ultimately they need to get a grip and finally grow up.
Yes indeed but I cannot see any way that’s going to happen. I think the number of perennially petrified is a consequence of very long term trends in the way people approach their lives, trends that have made the coronamadness possible, and obviously covid has accelerated that. It will take many decades, or possibly centuries to undo, and I see no major force that will assist that undoing currently. Quite the opposite.
looks a bit like PTSD: “constant attention to threat, worry, avoidance and excessive checking, that can keep people locked into a state of continuous anxiety and fear”
This is just part of the damage the fortune spent on government fear propaganda and dissemination of distorted statistics has done to our country. Too many naive people don’t do their own research and believe the government lies and distortions.
It’s time the mainstream media spent some effort correcting the damage they have done by repeating the government’s inaccurate information.
I give up! Today the BBC concentrating on Long Covid! So that’ll help the worried well and rest of the just plain scared witlsss prepare for see use with out masks!
It’s a standard fallback when deaths and hospitalisations fail them and they get bored with “cases”
My great grandmother was not much botheref by the blitz and never visited an air raid shelter throughout the war, but a passing electrical storm would turn her into a quivering wreck. The public are behaving in a similar way about Covid. There are many aspects of life that cause us anxiety. People need to get a bit of perspective. If you are scared of Covid wear a space suit.
boo f**king hoo
Is this true? I don’t trust polls or any information/propaganda coming out of the mainstream media.My own experience is that people have had enough and want it to end.
It obviously varies greatly. I know plenty of people who are either concerned for themselves or for the country as a whole.
I think you can take a baseline of the very worried as outdoor mask wearers – in my town around 10-15%. I think you can add some in for those who are not worried for themselves but think restrictions should continue in some form (IMO quite a lot of people), and those who hardly come out at all.
Outdoor mask wearing has certainly declined. But that means little in the face of the adherence to what might be called the ‘pub idiocy’ and continued con of pretending that fomite transmission and asymptomatic spread happen. Or that the isolation and vaccination of children is necessary.
I’m afraid belief still outweighs rationality and knowledge by a long chalk.
They may ‘want it to end’ – but that means the imagined virus, which they fully believe in.
What a nation of wet, spineless wimps the Brits have become. I’m ashamed to be British.
What does ‘British’ mean when all that is required to become British is to drift here on a rubber dinghy? I’m not British; I’m English.
Oh for goodness sake, quite frankly I don’t care. From the mountain of shit that has been showered on us for eighteen months I’m supposed to give a flying f**k because some people have actively talked themselves into a ‘syndrome’ of their own making?
sorry but I’m all out of F**ks to give, I’m way too busy giving them to the elderly who have died without their loved ones, and whose lives have been made an abject misery. I’m too busy giving them to all the people who have died because the National Covid Only Service didn’t get around to them, ditto those who are still on waiting lists. I’m too busy giving them to kids whose lives have been turned upside-down and whose schools have tortured them for the last year…..maybe sometime, (never!) I’ll get around to giving a shit about the poor little darlings!
It’s often difficult not to get horribly wrapped up in the semantics. As well as the outright propaganda: essentially this is a government editorial. They’re effectively writing this shit. We’re constantly bombarded with serious amounts of scheming, pernicious horror stories about what the public think; how they feel, and what they’d like to happen: supposedly sponsored by charities, polling organisations, NHS departments, etc. etc. It’s fucking Bollocks. Sage psychologists and government quangos write this crap and pretend it’s genuinely what everyone in their attics and cupboards- are actually saying. It’s fucking draining: and it’s supposed to be so !!
