An American's Conspiracy Theory

THE CHINESE PLOT

How to dominate the world quickly?

1. Create a virus and the antidote.

2. Spread the virus.

3. As a demonstration of efficiency; build hospitals in a few days.  After all, you were already prepared, with the projects, ordering the equipment, hiring the labour, the water and sewage network, the prefabricated building materials and the necessary stocks, in an impressive volume.

4. Cause chaos in the world, starting with Europe.

5. Quickly bankrupt the economy of dozens of countries.

6. Stop production lines in factories in other countries.

7. Cause stock markets to fall and buy companies at a bargain price.

8. Quickly control the epidemic in your country. After all, you were already prepared.

9. Lower the price of commodities, including the price of oil you buy on a large scale.

10 Get back to producing quickly while the world is at a standstill. Buy what you negotiated cheaply in the crisis and raise the cost of items lacking in countries with paralysed industries.

After all, you read more Confucius than Karl Marx.

PS: Before laughing, read the book by Chinese colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, from 1999, “Unrestricted Warfare: China’s master plan to destroy America”.  It's all there.

Worth pondering...Just Think about  this...

Why are Russia & North Korea relatively free of Covid-19?  Because they are staunch allies of China. On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit. Why is Wuhan suddenly free from the virus?

China will say that their initial  measures were very strict and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. I am sure they a have an antidote to the virus.

Why was Beijing not affected? Why only Wuhan?  Interesting to ponder upon, no?  Well, Wuhan is open for business now. America and the West are devastated financially. Soon the American economy will collapse, as planned by China China knows it CANNOT defeat America by military force, at present.

The USA is the most powerful country in the world. So use the virus to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defence capabilities. Perhaps Nancy Pelosi has a part in this, in order to topple Trump. Lately, President Trump was always telling of how the great American economy was  improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump through impeachment...so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was a showcase. At the peak of  the virus epidemic:-

China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple face mask to visit those effected areas. As President he should have been covered from head to toe...but it was not the case. He was already immunised against the virus. This means that a cure was  already in place before the virus was released.

Some say Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015, so the Chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is...YES...Bill Gates did predict it, but that prediction was based on a previous genuine virus outbreak. Now China is also saying that the virus was predicted well in advance...so that its agenda would play along well to match that prediction.  China's vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Later China will announce that  their Medical Researchers  have found a cure to destroy the virus. Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master...CHINA.

Remember:- The Doctor who announced the virus was silenced by the Chinese authorities!

And this one is definitely in the "not credible" pile. It has too many holes in it.

BUT... I do agree that China, as it already does, will buy US and UK Treasury bonds which we will issue to pay for the current measures and help to ease the extra tax burden we will all be saddled with for years to come. 

IE China buys our debt. That gives them leverage, much more so than buying companies although that doesn't really help either if they end up owning significant parts of the privatised industries responsible for power/heat/light heavy engineering and transport and communications...

This rivals the “did the USA actually land on the moon” theory, amongst a few others.   Too many people with time on their hands cook up these stories.

Lord save us from the tin foil hat brigade.

One day, probably soon, all will be revealed and it will be interesting to see who's correct.

Chinese lessons?

What about the 5G one, they're burning phone masts in Birmingham.  😟

Why not, it presumably keeps them out of the parks😃 and hopefully one will fall down on them.

[corsechris]

Oh good grief....

 

Personally, I think we should round up all the conspiracy nuts, line them up against the giant ice wall at the edge of the earth and get the penguin army to shoot them.

There was a 30 minute video on Vimeo with the speaker claiming to be an ex director of Vodafone. As a spoof it was well done, but when "celebrities" started re-posting an audio grab of it on social media it got out of control. There was even a petition on change.org asking people to sign up to ban 5g because, and I quote "...5g radio waves use all the oxygen in the air..." which "explained" the "dead birds" that people were then posting up about in areas that are nowhere near any 5g deployment.

Usually this type of would be funny and dismissed as a wind up or another nut-job, but at the moment these people are just dangerous.

I am surprised there are so many people who seemingly buy into this sort of nonsense

I know - but how funny are the “flat earth” brigade 🤣

[Blatman]

About as funny as the "we didn't go to the moon" luddites...

[corsechris]

Someone I’ve known a long time shocked me a while back when it became clear he was a moon landing sceptic. I invited him to discuss it but he declined. As long time friends I thought we could have managed a sensible discussion.

My cynical son's reply:

Quote

It’s not impossible, just improbable. Any cure made in China would stop working within a few days of receiving it, that’s if the batteries weren’t flat to begin with!

 

It occurred to me that the synthetic virus and selective cure part was straight out of a novel, but the exploitation of the West's financial parlous state was credible. Luckily, said son is married to an Australian girl of Chinese heritage and her mother speaks mainly Cantonese, but also some Mandarin and Vietnamese. The mother's English is flaky though. My daughter in law also speaks (but does not read/write) Cantonese so I may have a head start when our Chinese Overlords arrive.

 

The downside is that they live in Sydney.
