A whistle-blower says the CIA bribed experts to change their conclusion on likely origins of covid


One of the earliest gain-of-function experiments done at the Wuhan lab was funded by USAID.  It is no surprise then a whistle-blower has come forward claiming that the CIA bribed their experts to conclude that SARS-CoV-2 was unlikely to have come from a laboratory.

The first global survey of gain-of-function experiments was published at the end of last month. It found that about 67 per cent of the 7,000 papers examined were collaborative efforts between multiple institutions.  U.S.-international collaborations occur most frequently between US and Chinese institutions.

They claim gain-of-function is biodefence but biodefence and biowarfare are two sides of the same coin.  In fact, biowarfare was renamed gain-of-function to avoid scrutiny.

The CIA whistleblower claims ties between virus research, U.S. military industry and Wuhan lab

A week ago, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic revealed that a “multi-decade, senior-level, current [CIA] officer” had blown the whistle.  The whistle-blower’s testimony appears to reveal how deep the ties between virus research, the military-industrial complex and China really run.

He claimed that when six of the seven specialists tasked by the US Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”) with investigating the origins of the virus concluded with low confidence that it likely came from a laboratory in Wuhan, the CIA paid those scientists hush money to reverse their decision from their original conclusion that the virus likely originated from the lab.

Wuhan Institute of Virology was funded by USAID

Why would the CIA want to hide evidence that the virus might have come from a Chinese government laboratory? The Tablet Magazine reports that the answer may have to do with the fact that funding for the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology came from the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”).

This is not the first time questions regarding America’s intelligence agencies’ ties to the Wuhan lab have come up. One of the earliest gain-of-function experiments done at the Wuhan lab was funded by USAID.  The aid agency’s funding was initially omitted from the paper that published the results of those experiments. But these new whistle-blower allegations, which come from the CIA itself, present the first plausible evidence connecting America’s lead intelligence agency to efforts to sway official assessments of the pandemic’s origin.

The place that gain-of-function research first takes place: Georgetown University’s Centre for Security and Emerging Technology

Researchers have conducted the first global survey of gain-of-function (“GoF”) studies – those in which microbes or viruses are given new abilities through genetic alteration.

Researchers at Georgetown University’s Centre for Security and Emerging Technology (“CSET”) in Washington DC scanned the scientific literature using an artificial intelligence tool to assess where and how often GoF studies are conducted.

CSET examined about 7,000 GoF and loss-of-function (“LoF”) research publications  These studies, in which scientists bestow new abilities on pathogens by, for instance, inserting a fluorescent gene or making them more transmissible, are common in microbiology research.  Most GoF or LoF research focuses on viral and bacterial pathogens.

The researchers found that only a small fraction of GoF studies between 2000 and mid-2022 involved agents dangerous enough to require the strictest biosafety precautions.

The report does not “get to the heart of what makes people so upset about these issues”, biosecurity specialist at Johns Hopkins University Gigi Gronvall said – adding that, for many, “it’s about whether we should go against nature [by manipulating pathogens] to try to determine whether something is likely to become a pandemic threat.”

The report noted that while researchers from U.S.-based institutions contributed to about 53 per cent of GoF and LoF papers published between 2000 and 2022, about 67 per cent of identified publications involved a collaboration between researchers at multiple institutions. Collaborations between authors from at least two US institutions are the most common.  US-international collaborations occur most frequently between US and Chinese institutions.

“Our data indicates that GoF and LoF research are intertwined and that there are many more studies focused on LoF research than GoF research,” the researchers stated. “In addition to studying diseases, researchers conduct GoF and LoF research to develop new preventative medical countermeasures like vaccines.”

Researchers can genetically alter pathogens using a variety of methods.  CEST’s report noted the most common techniques that can be used for both GoF and LoF:

  • Serial passaging involves deliberately passing a particular pathogen through a series of cells, tissues, or animals one after the other, using the pathogen from one round of infection to start the next.
  • Reverse genetics (also called virus rescue) is a technique that lets researchers engineer new viruses by designing nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) in the laboratory that encode the instructions for a virus.
  • Adding, modifying, or removing genes from existing pathogens can alter a pathogen’s characteristics.
  • Pathogen recombination is a technique in which two pathogen strains are combined to create a third that consists of a mixture of genes from the two pathogen parents.

One company commercialialises gain-of-function products: Sino Biological

As the final point above notes, one way to do GoF research is to use recombinant DNA technology to engineer changes in the genome of the organism.  CEST’s report focuses on published science papers and as such, it makes no mention of companies that have commercialised GoF products.  One such company is Sino Biological, the global leader in recombinant technology, which has more than 280 SARS-CoV-2 variants in its catalogue for researchers to purchase.

Sino Biological was founded in 2007 in Beijing by Chinese-born MIT Professor Dr. Daniel I. C. Wang who was considered one of the founding fathers of the field of biochemical engineering.  Biochemical engineering is a field that involves genetically engineering microbes and human cells to produce “useful proteins.”

News (5)

Founder of Sino Biological worked in Fort Dietrich before he died

Dr. Wang earned two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”) – a Bachelor of Science in 1959 and a Master of Science in 1961. In 1963, he earned a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He was hired by MIT in 1965.  After completing his PhD research, Dr. Wang spent 2 years in the US Army doing bioprocess research at the US Army’s Fort Dietrich Biological Research Laboratories. Dr. Wang died in August 2020 aged 84.

“Dan Wang’s influence as a teacher, mentor, researcher, and friend has been monumental to so many people who have become the leaders in building a biotech industry and biochemical engineering as a profession,” said Charles Cooney, the Robert T. Haslam Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT.

In August 2021, Sino Biological was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China.

Biodefence is biowarfare

We have known for some time that Fauci has funded a wide array of risky gain-of-function research, including research that may have been instrumental in the creation of SARS-CoV-2. While all of that is being justified in the name of biodefence, in reality, all biodefence research is biowarfare research. Everything has dual use.

The indisputable reality, Glenn Greenwald noted, is that, despite long-standing international conventions banning the development of biological weapons, all large, powerful countries conduct research that, at the very least, has the capacity to be converted into biological weapons. The work conducted under the guise of “defensive research” can, and sometimes is, easily converted into the banned weapons themselves.

Dr. Meryl Nass noted that in 1975, the Biological Weapons Convention (“BWC”) entered into force – an international treaty to prevent the use of biological and toxin weapons, which included snake, snail, frog, fish, bacterial and fungal toxins that could be used for assassinations and other purposes. But during the 48 years the BWC has been in force, the wall it was supposed to build against the development, production and use of biological weapons has been steadily eroded.

Under the guise of preparing their defences against biowarfare and pandemics, nations have conducted “dual-use” – both offensive and defensive – research and development, which has led to the creation of more deadly and more transmissible microorganisms. And, employing new verbiage to shield this effort from scrutiny, biological warfare research was renamed as “gain-of-function” research.

GoF is so risky that funding it was banned by the US government – but only for SARS coronaviruses and avian flu viruses – in 2014 after a public outcry from hundreds of scientists.

Changi T2’s northern wing reopens on 28 September 2023
Changi Airport Terminal 2 has fully re-commenced operations with the recommencement of operations in the northern wing of Terminal 2 (T2) on 28 September 2023 after three and a half years of engineering works to extend the life of critical systems, and expansion works to bring Changi’s overall capacity to 90 million passengers per annum (mppa). With the reopening of the northern wing, T2’s handling capacity has increased by five mppa to 28 mppa.

The southern wing of T2 was reopened in May 2022 (arrivals) and October 2022 (departures) to provide capacity to serve an increasing number of passengers following the easing of international border restrictions earlier in the year.

This boost in capacity is timely as air travel in Changi Airport continues to recover. Passenger traffic at Changi Airport for August 2023 was about 87% of pre-covid pandemic levels.

More space to serve passengers better

The T2 expansion project has added 15,500 square metres to the terminal building to support additional infrastructure, new systems and more retail offerings. The departure hall now houses a central common-use Fast and Seamless Travel (FAST) zone, with more automated check-in kiosks and bag drop machines, while the immigration halls have been expanded to support additional automated immigration lanes. T2 is the first terminal in Changi to have automated Special Assistance Lanes at both arrival and departure immigration.

T2’s critical systems and building equipment which have reached end of life were upgraded to more efficient models. A new chiller plant delivers cooling at 30% lower energy consumption. At the baggage claim hall, two existing baggage belts have been lengthened to handle a higher volume of bags, to cater to wide body aircraft. The terminal’s baggage handling system has enhanced security features, and its early baggage storage system has been upgraded from semi-automated to fully-automated, allowing some 2,400 bags to be stored at any time. These features significantly enhance manpower productivity.

The design concept of T2 draws inspiration from nature. It incorporates natural materials in its wall cladding and flooring, complemented by lush green columns showcasing a distinctive array of plants. The terminal design creates a serene and soothing atmosphere for both passengers and visitors, fostering a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

Mr Tan Lye Teck, Changi Airport Group’s Programme Director for the Terminal 2 Expansion Project, said, “We extend our deep gratitude to the Ministry of Transport, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, as well as other agencies and partners for their support toward the T2 Expansion Project. We also greatly appreciate the entire airport community for their close collaboration and steadfast partnership. We commit to delivering exceptional customer service and look forward to taking the passenger experience to new heights with the refreshed T2.”

CCP-related Brunei airline, registered in Singapore, aims to operate C919 and ARJ21 aircraft

 Report by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA  / Image : Gallop Air LinkedIn




Recently, many Chinese media have reported the news that the domestic aircraft C919 has received foreign orders for the first time, saying that the C919 has gone abroad for the first time and achieved a breakthrough in the international market. The buyer is Gallop Air of Brunei, which also has a Chinese name called Qiji Airlines.

According to reports, at the 20th China-ASEAN Expo held in Nanning, Guangxi, Gallop Air signed a letter of intent to purchase 30 domestically produced aircraft for a total of US$2 billion. Among them, 15 are C919 passenger aircraft and the other 15 are ARJ-21 aircraft. Next, it needs to undergo type certification by the Civil Aviation Authority of Brunei Darussalam, and it is not scheduled to be put into flight operations until the third quarter of 2024.

Gallop Air is a new company registered in Singapore in October 2021 and is headquartered in Brunei. Until now, it does not have any flight records for a single aircraft or route.

Mainland media reported that Gallop Air will become the first foreign airline in the world to use a Chinese-made passenger aircraft as its first flight model. The British airline history website said that this is a China-backed start-up company that plans to start operations in 2024.

According to Scramble, a well-known Dutch aviation magazine, Gallop Air is supported by Shaanxi Tianju Investment Group, the parent company of Tianju Aviation Co., Ltd. (referred to as Tianju Airlines).

Baidu information shows that Tianju Airlines is an air transportation enterprise initiated by Shaanxi Tianju Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Tianju General Aviation Co., Ltd. It has a registered capital of RMB 600 million and was established on 25 May 2015.

On the official website of Tianju Investment Group, the introduction to Tianju Airlines is as follows: “Tianju Airlines is committed to building the company into the world’s largest domestic aircraft operator and implementing the report spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with practical actions."

Regarding Gallop Air supported by Tianju Group, mainland media reports said that as an active participant in the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, it uses an all-China domestic large aircraft fleet, and joins hands with China's domestic large aircraft ARJ21 and C919 to operate flights in Asia and Oceania from Brunei. In the future, we plan to open routes from Bandar Seri Begawan to cities in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and other ASEAN countries.

In addition, information on the "LinkedIn" website also shows that this new airline with less than 50 employees mentioned Xi Jinping's "One Belt, One Road" in its self-introduction.

It seems that this is to use domestically produced aircraft to open up air routes for the "One Belt, One Road" initiative. The exact relationship between Gallop Air and Shaanxi Tianju Investment Group needs further verification, but Gallop Air's Chinese background may be difficult to clarify.

In addition, it is worth noting that as early as 2018, Tianju Airlines signed a letter of intent (LoI) with COMAC for the purchase of 30 ARJ21s, but so far it has not received any aircraft, nor has it started operating other aircraft.

A purchase letter of intent is not the same as an order contract. It is not an order, but a preliminary expression of interest, used to start the procurement process, while the purchase contract is the final legal agreement.

In other words, even if a purchase letter of intent is signed, there are still variables whether a transaction can actually be completed in the future. By the same token, what Gallop Air signed this time was just a purchase letter of intent.

According to official data from the Chinese Communist Party, 1,061 domestic C919 aircraft have been confirmed or intended to be ordered in China, but only two have been delivered so far.

CCP experts develop high-risk virus and warn that another outbreak is likely

中共专家研发高风险病毒 警告疫情极可能再爆发
Shi Zhengli, an expert at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, published a paper stating that a new, more dangerous strain of the covid virus has been developed. She warned that another covid outbreak could occur in the future and the world must be prepared to deal with it.

News (2)

Shi Zhengli: A new virus strain has been developed and the epidemic may break out again

Shi Zhengli's team published a paper in the English journal "Emerging Microbes & Infections" in July, stating that they developed a new, more dangerous virus strain, SMA1901, by continuously passaged bat-derived coronaviruses in mice.

In this research report, Shi Zhengli's team assessed the risks of 40 coronaviruses, half of which were rated as "high risk", and 6 were known to cause diseases that infect humans, and the other 3 caused diseases or infected people and other animal species.

“It is almost certain that disease will emerge in the future, and it is likely that ‘coronavirus’ disease will reappear.” The report warns that if coronavirus has caused disease in the past, it is very likely that it will cause disease in the future, and the world must be prepared.

At the end of 2019, the novid epidemic broke out in Wuhan and spread around the world, causing huge deaths and severely damaging the global economy.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology has always been suspected to be related to the outbreak. Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, an American virology expert and former director of the Department of Virology Laboratory at the U.S. Army Research Institute, told NTDTV, "The origin of the COVID-19 virus has actually been discovered internationally in the past year or so. Society generally believes that the possibility of an accidental leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is very high, and it is an important suspect in the investigation."

Against this background, Shi Zhengli's team is still doing research on enhancing the pathogenicity of the virus, which has once again attracted the attention of the international community. They wonder what the purpose of Shi Zhengli's current research is.

Dr. Lin Xiaoxu said, "According to reports, this new virus strain has a very high fatality rate for older mice and mice with weak resistance. If you think about it, within seven days, the fatality rate will be almost 90%. So this virus can be said to be quite lethal."

Shi Zhengli's paper, written in English, only attracted attention on the Internet in mainland China a month after it was published. However, given the sensitivity of Shi Zhengli's virus research, many Chinese virologists were unwilling to comment on it.

The epidemic is heating up in many places in China and hospitals are full

Since the beginning of this year, the epidemic has continued to spread in China. Recently, hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Chongqing, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Xi'an, Yangzhou and other places are full again, and officials say that "collective pharyngitis has occurred in many places."

After school started in September, many children, primary and secondary school students fell ill with fever, and the hospital said it was "influenza" and "mycoplasma virus" infection. People questioned the authorities for covering up the epidemic and frequently renamed covid.

According to Chinese media reports, more than 90 children registered at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai within two hours of opening on the morning of September 13, all with fever. The number of patients treated in a single day is as high as 900.

On 23 September 2023, Ms. Mei (pseudonym) who lives in Shanghai revealed to NTDTV that the epidemic in Shanghai is on the rise again, hospitals are full, many people have third or fourth covi-positive cases, and some communities have begun to implement closure measures again, with access restricted.

Ms. Mei said that the official media did not report that it was covi infection, and many people were confused.

Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, recently pointed out again that the CCP virus (coronavirus) epidemic mainly targets the Communist Party and those who blindly follow the CCP, defend the CCP, and work hard for the CCP; many people have died so far, including many young people.

Shanghai hospitals are full and community access is restricted

Since September, the number of infection cases in Shanghai has increased sharply, causing concern. According to Chinese media reports, more than 90 children registered at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai within two hours of opening on the morning of 13 September, all with fever. The number of patients treated in a single day is as high as 900.

Ms. Mei said that the official media did not report that it was covid, and many people were confused.

In the Shanghai WeChat group, many mothers posted that as soon as school started in September, many children had sunburn and fever.

A Shanghai netizen said: "My daughter came back on Monday and said that everyone in the class was coughing, and she started to have a fever and cough at night. When school started, my daughter was the only one wearing a mask in the class, and the teacher called me to say that the epidemic was over. Stop wearing a mask, I’m really going to be pissed off.”

On 22 September 2023, Mr. Yang (pseudonym), a Shanghai citizen, told The Epoch Times that many children were infected this time. His granddaughter was infected before the kindergarten started. It was because a neighbour's child was playing with her and infected her. "School started, you passed it on to me, I passed it on to you, and it suddenly broke out."

"My daughter said that I would take her to Shanghai Children's Hospital for medical treatment. I saw many, many people visiting the hospital, including parents with their children. We heard that many children were infected after school started," said Mr. Yang.

He revealed that doctors at the hospital emphasized that the infection was not covid, but the so-called "mycoplasma infection." He said that in addition to sore throats and coughs, many children infected with the epidemic also have symptoms of diarrhea, stomachache, and even vomiting. They also seem to have problems with their gastrointestinal system.

In addition to Shanghai, the pediatric outpatient department of Xi'an Hospital in Shaanxi Province has recently been full. Many kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in Xi'an have reminded to prevent the so-called "flu".

Sichuan Province officially reported that 18,000 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in August. Netizens questioned the shrinkage of data: "Huh? There is still data from Sichuan? Is this the number reported? Doesn't it include those who tested their own antigens?"

Sichuan netizen: "I started to let myself go without wearing a mask at the end of last month, because I thought it was okay, but it turned out to be the first infection on the 6th."

Yunnan netizen: “My colleague had second covi-positives and didn’t wear a mask, and then he was infected with first covi-positive.”

Tianjin netizen: "My family is hospitalized with 24-hour care. I was informed that the cough has not gone away for more than a week. I can't taste salty and non-salty, and my smell is not as clear as before."

Gansu netizen: "As soon as the school term started, my son's high school was full of people. The teacher specially notified him to go to the hospital and get better quickly if he got sick."

Chongqing netizen: "I feel like I am yang again... My whole legs are terribly sore... My head hurts and my eyes are swollen... I can't taste it."

Henan netizen: "I just went to a community clinic for a few days for a sore throat. In the past few days, I saw many parents bringing their children to see the doctor. They all said they had fevers and colds. However, no one from the children to adults wore masks. Some are even coughing.”

Beijing netizen: "The hospital has never stopped."

People questioned that the authorities renamed the new coronavirus "pharyngitis" in order to cover up the epidemic. There have been previous claims such as "H1N1" and "Mycoplasma virus".

In January this year, when the epidemic broke out in China, a doctor posted on a medical forum that "hospitals are not allowed to write death diagnoses of COVID-19."

There is a video showing a Shanghai doctor clearly telling a patient that they will not write COVID-19 infection on the medical certificate.

Epidemics continue to spread across China, and there is also an epidemic in Hangzhou

Currently, the CCP virus epidemic continues to spread throughout China, and Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Xi'an, Yangzhou and other places have issued "flu prevention" reminders. An epidemic has also occurred in Hangzhou, where the Asian Games are being held. Some netizens said that they contracted COVID-19 during a business trip to Shanghai in May and contracted COVID-19 again during a business trip to Hangzhou in September.

Infection cases have appeared in Beijing, Tianjin, Sichuan, Chongqing, Gansu and other places. Although the official report is not reported, people suffering from the disease continue to post epidemic information on social media to remind others to take precautions.

"It started raining in Shanghai recently. I have been having fever, headache, and cough, which are sometimes mild and sometimes severe. I couldn't bear it anymore and went to the Central Hospital tonight. I was dragged through the middle of the night and had a checkup worth three to four hundred yuan. First, I took a blood test. After a series of routine demining operations such as taking body temperature and taking the patient’s body temperature, the result was finalized: influenza. Me: What should I do?”


(Screenshot from Weibo)

"After being infected three times, I could only lie down every day and could not work. It suddenly dawned on me that covid is not a cold or the flu. However, it was too late."

"Two elders over 85 years old in Shanghai and Hangzhou died of first covid injection. One was hospitalized, and the other was not in good health and took a lot of medicine every day. During the peak period of second and third covi infection, there were basically no relatives or friends who went to the hospital. . Let’s take a look at the relatives and friends we know and see how harmful the new coronavirus will be starting in 2022.”

"Indeed, many old people don't want to die, but the result first..."

From 22 August to 8 September 2023, in just 18 days, at least 19 celebrities from all walks of life in the CCP’s government, enterprise, and universities “died” of the disease. However, the authorities tried their best to cover up the epidemic death data.

Li Rong (pseudonym) is from Anhui and once worked as a beautician. She herself never thought that she would work in the funeral industry and became an embalmer who dressed, performed plastic surgery and put on makeup for the dead.

Li Rong got into this line of work out of helplessness. As a single mother, she lives in a rental house with her 7-year-old son. Two years ago, she happened to come into contact with a master in this industry, so she joined the industry.

"Every industry is not doing well now and it is difficult to make money, so I chose this industry," she said.

On 20 September 2023, an Epoch Times reporter interviewed her over the phone. Her current wish is to open a one-stop funeral service store and raise her children.

"Before I started this business, I was a little braver than the average person, but once you enter this industry, you will be somewhat afraid." She said that at first she did not dare to touch the corpse and kept it two or three metres away. Looking from a distance, it was the master who forced her to touch the face of the body.

"Once a person leaves, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes cold, and the complexion becomes unsightly. Anyone who sees it will be scared." However, with more exposure, you will get used to it and you won't be afraid anymore.

Shocking death toll from epidemic revealed

During the three-year epidemic, the Chinese Communist Party authorities implemented a cruel "clearance" prevention and control policy, which not only failed to prevent the spread of the virus on a large scale, but also caused serious secondary disasters. During the epidemic, the busiest places in China were hospitals, funeral homes and crematoriums.

Li Rong described the scene at the funeral home as "all the corpses were lined up on the road."

The CCP has always concealed the truth about how many Chinese people have died due to the epidemic. After the "unblocking" at the end of last year, the Chinese Communist Party officially announced the number of deaths related to the epidemic, but the outside world generally believed that this number had greatly shrunk.

On 14 January 2023, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of the Communist Party of China held a press conference. Jiao Yahui, Director of the Medical Affairs Department of the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China, announced in response to reporters’ questions that from 8 December 2022 to 12 January 2023, there is a total of 59,938 deaths related to COVID-19 virus (CCP virus, covid virus, covi) infection, including 5,503 deaths from respiratory failure caused by virus infection, and 54,435 deaths from underlying diseases combined with covi infection.

This is the first and last time that the CCP has announced deaths related to covid. Previously, the daily death toll reported by the Chinese Communist authorities was in single digits.

Talking about the death toll, Li Rong said: "The real data is much more horrifying than you think. Too many people died last year. Our county's crematorium now burns about 20 corpses every day, but during the epidemic last year, it burned 200 to 300 corpses a day."

"The crematorium in my county also burned about 500 bodies at its peak, which was normal at the time," she said.

In China, there is only one crematorium in a county, which is under the unified control of the state. She said that during the peak period of the epidemic, crematoriums in big cities burned around 500 bodies a day.

She also told reporters that at that time, the funeral parlor was working 24 hours a day, and everyone was so busy that they had no time to put makeup on the deceased. Many of them were taken away directly for cremation.

She was doing five jobs a day and couldn't run around. She only had time to dress the body and no time to put on makeup at all.

"There are hundreds of people a day! At the peak, one undertaker had to dress nearly 30 corpses (at the same time). How can you stay busy?"

These are all one-stop services, and there are many companies providing such services throughout the county.

In rural areas, many families with land simply bury the body without cremating it. She said that sometimes she would dress the deceased for burial. “During the epidemic, the corpses in the crematorium were lined up on the road. Everyone was so busy. Who had time to care whether you buried them secretly? "

"I think the number of people who have died in the country in the past few years due to the epidemic will not be less than 300 million. The internal statistics of funeral homes across the country are more than 200 million, but they are inaccurate." She said, "In rural areas, there are still many people who have not chosen cremation. , but buried directly. The real number is definitely more terrifying than you imagine."

According to 2021 statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Communist Party of China, as of the end of 2021, there were 7,043 cremators in China. At the peak of the epidemic in early December last year, it was reported that crematoriums were running 24 hours a day. If one corpse was burned every half hour, the total number of corpses burned in China at that time was 338,000. So from the beginning of December last year to the end of January this year, the total number of corpses burned in two months was more than 20 million, which is far from the official claim of nearly 60,000 people who died from the epidemic.

In addition, during the three years since the epidemic broke out, if each furnace burned an average of 50 corpses per day, the 7,043 furnaces across the country would have burned 352,150 corpses every day, which would be 128.5 million corpses in one year and 385.6 million corpses in three years. The number of corpses does not include those buried in rural areas.

The sacrificial vessels used in the Hangzhou Asian Games once again reveal an ominous sign

杨宁:杭州亚运会用祭祀礼器再透不祥之兆

On 23 September 2023, the 19th Asian Games, which cost at least 200 billion to build, opened in Hangzhou. Xi Jinping and his wife attended the opening ceremony, and leaders of a handful of small countries such as Syria, South Korea, and Nepal also attended to support them. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Kim Jong-un of North Korea, the heads of Iran and the five Central Asian countries were all missing. Obviously, the so-called grand occasion of “all nations coming to China” five years ago has completely disappeared, and the seemingly grand and dazzling opening ceremony cannot cover up the CCP’s “decline” at all.

Not only that, the ancient sacrificial and exorcism ritual vessels that can be seen throughout the Hangzhou Asian Games also convey ominous omens to the outside world.

According to reports from the Chinese Communist Party’s official media, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee has incorporated many elements of Liangzhu culture in the preparation process of the Asian Games. The ancestors of Liangzhu in the Hangzhou area who lived 4,000 to 5,000 years ago left behind for future generations beautiful jade articles, a magnificent triple city, and large-scale water conservancy projects, confirming that China had a great prehistoric rice farming civilization and urban civilization. The Chinese Communist authorities should be hoping to take this opportunity to let more foreigners understand Chinese civilization, increase their favourable impression of China, and then ignore the many evil deeds of the Chinese Communist Party.

Based on this purpose, many aspects of the Hangzhou Asian Games contain Liangzhu cultural elements. From the torch to mascot design, from venue construction to Asian Games fire collection, "Liangzhu culture" is everywhere.

For example, on 15 June 2023, fire for the Hangzhou Asian Games was collected at Damojiao Mountain in the Liangzhu Ancient City Heritage Park in Hangzhou. The center of the fire-collecting device is a concave mirror, and the outer ring is shaped like Liangzhu jade. The design of the fire outlet of the collecting torch comes from the jade "cong". The torch body is decorated with Liangzhu spiral patterns, and the torch crown is characterized by the jade cong, with the square and round shapes blending together.

For example, the "Cong Cong" among the three mascots of the Asian Games is derived from the jade article unearthed from the ruins of Liangzhu Ancient City. The pattern decorated on the head is taken from the iconic symbol of Liangzhu Culture, "Cong King". Facial pattern". The Liangzhu Cong King weighs 6.5 kilograms. It is square on the outside and round on the inside, thick and solid. The body of the cong is slotted in the middle on all four sides, and a complete pattern of gods, humans and animals is carved on the top and bottom. The facial patterns of gods, humans and animals are considered by archaeologists to be the "divine emblem" of the Liangzhu Civilization. Nowadays, flags and posters featuring Cong Cong and others can be seen everywhere in the streets, alleys, sports venues, stations, docks and even residential areas of Hangzhou.

Another example is the Asian Games medal "Hushan", which integrates the square jade cong from Liangzhu culture and the round medal.

So why is such use a bad omen?

As we all know, Chinese civilization has a long history, is extensive and profound. "The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs." In ancient China, sacrifice was the top priority. Sacrifice is also an important part of Chinese divine culture. Traditional sacrifices include sacrifices to gods, earth, humans and ghosts. Sacrifice suggests people believe in the gods, fear the gods, appreciate the gods for their protection, and pray for blessings from ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors continued throughout the dynasties until the "atheistic" CCP usurped power, wiped out all kinds of beliefs, harmed elites, and sacrifices were banned.

In recent years, with the CCP advocating the restoration of traditional culture and using it for its use, folk sacrificial culture has been restored. However, many so-called experts and scholars who are deeply influenced by the CCP’s atheism simply do not believe in the profound meaning of traditional culture, including sacrificial rituals but it is used in a distorted way according to today’s understanding. The Central Asia Summit held in Xi'an in May this year and now the Asian Games in Hangzhou are examples.

The author has already said in the article "Sacrificial Dance to Welcome Guests at the Central Asia Summit Reveals an Ominous Omen" that it is an ominous sign for the CCP to welcome foreign guests with the Bayi Dance, a traditional sacrificial dance that embodies the harmonious order of yin and yang in heaven and earth. Who does the CCP, which has disrupted the order of heaven and earth and yin and yang, use this dance to sacrifice? Who do you want to educate?

Similarly, the jade cong that can be seen everywhere in the Hangzhou Asian Games is collectively referred to as the "Six Weapons" together with the jade bi, jade guide, jade Zhang, jade Huang, and jade Hu. It is a large ritual vessel used by the emperor in ancient times to worship the gods. It dates back 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. . It was first seen in ancient books such as "The Rites of Zhou" and is a kind of jade with a round inside and a square tube outside. The ancients believed that the sky is round and the earth is square, and the utensils used to worship heaven and earth must "resemble their shapes." Since jade is round, it is used to represent the sky, and the earth is square, so the shape of the jade cong is exactly the same. It is square, so the cong is used as an instrument to worship the earth god. "The Rites of Zhou" records that "the blue jade is used to worship heaven and the yellow cong is used to worship the earth". Some jade congs are taller, while others are shorter.

After a large number of jade congs from the Liangzhu Culture were unearthed, some scholars also speculated based on their shape and decorative features that they were magical tools used by wizards to communicate with the gods. In addition, because the jade cong had the following characteristics when it was unearthed in tombs: the tombs were of high standard and large scale, with rich burial objects, and the owners of the tombs were mostly men. Therefore, some scholars believe that the jade cong is also a symbol of power and wealth, but this should not be the case. It is its later extension.

The Hangzhou authorities not only completely ignored the jade cong, which was used by ancient emperors to worship the earth gods, or had the functions of suppressing evil in tombs, embalming corpses, and avoiding evil and exorcising ghosts, as the mascot of the Hangzhou Asian Games and other aspects. Traditional etiquette, but also revealing ominous. Who is this being sacrificed to? Or what kind of evil is to be suppressed? What is the providence of God?

Shi Zhengli developed a new virus: another epidemic may break out

Editor : Meng Xinqi / Reporter : Luo Ya  https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/09/25/a103791730.html

Shi Zhengli, a CCP virus expert, recently warned in a paper published overseas that another coronavirus is very likely to appear in the future. The team listed 20 coronaviruses as " "High risk" has attracted great attention from the outside world.

Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, published a paper in the international medical journal "Emerging Microorganisms and Infections" in July this year, stating that her team has analyzed as many as 40 coronaviruses that have the risk of infecting humans, half of which are high-risk viruses.

Among the 40 related viruses, 6 have been found to be able to infect humans and cause illness, and 3 coronaviruses can also be transmitted to other animals after causing illness in humans.

The paper warns that if coronaviruses have caused illness in the past, they are likely to do so in the future, and "there is almost certainly a high likelihood of reoccurrence of coronavirus disease in the future."

Qin Peng, a current affairs commentator living in the United States: "Shi Zhengli's warning requires the world to prepare, but such a statement is irresponsible, because there are currently outbreaks of coronavirus infections around the world, such as SARS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. Syndrome (MERS) comes from nature and animals, but some cases, such as the global covid pandemic, were caused by the spread of the CCP laboratory and the CCP’s laissez-faire method, so now we are just issuing a light warning, which does not solve the problem. "

It is worth noting that Shi Zhengli’s paper only attracted attention on the Chinese Internet two months after it was published. However, since the beginning of this year, various viruses have appeared in various parts of China, including major outbreaks of COVID-19. People have long suspected that the epidemic has not subsided, but the officials have concealed it.

Li Longteng, former deputy director of Taiwan's Department of Health: "I just hope they don't release it again and everything will be fine. If they release it again, of course it will get worse and worse. My feeling is that scientists should have a conscience and not do things randomly. It's not good, right. The whole world is bad.”

Qin Peng: “Because they don’t trust the CCP, they will ask whether there is a new virus about to break out, or whether the CCP is going to release poison, etc. In a sense, the CCP itself is looking for this because of its opacity and past. Such bad deeds make it impossible for anyone to believe it.”

The exposure of this paper by Shi Zhengli's team also indirectly confirmed that China's long-standing epidemic problem is not "controllable and exterminable" as officially promoted.

Qin Peng: "Human beings actually still have a very limited understanding of many things such as covid or coronavirus to this day. In fact, the CCP itself was a mess in its management of medicine, wards, and equipment. In the end, there was no open preparation. So what it advocates about controllable, preventable, preventable, preventable, eradable, etc., these are political propaganda slogans and not the truth."

It is understood that Shi Zhengli has been conducting research on bat coronaviruses and cross-species infections, so she has the title of "Batwoman".

The Wuhan Institute of Virology where Shi Zhengli works is considered to be the source of the covid epidemic, and Shi Zhengli is one of the key figures in deciphering the source of the virus.

Qin Peng: "For humans, one of the issues that needs to be resolved is whether gain-of-function research should continue and how to supervise it. A system like the CCP is not suitable for preserving and studying such dangerous viruses. Moreover, the CCP has been trying to find and transform biological weapons that can destroy mankind, so it needs very strict supervision around the world."

Previously, Shi Zhengli was "promoted" by the CCP and became a candidate for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which once again focused the outside world's attention on the issue of tracing the origin of covid.

Qin Peng: "It is probably very difficult to understand this matter thoroughly and completely, because the CCP destroyed a lot of precious information, including some specimens, etc. during this process, right? Yes."

Due to the reluctance of Chinese Communist Party officials to disclose information crucial to tracing the origin of the covid epidemic, the theory that covid leaked from the laboratory of the institute has always been lingering.

Qin Peng: “To solve the problem, on the one hand, all virus libraries actually owned by the Wuhan virus must be opened to World Health Organization experts for research, and they cannot continue to be the private property of the CCP. On the other hand, Wuhan, the source of the outbreak, must be investigated. Only through in-depth investigation, finding the real cause and those responsible, and punishing them can we truly prevent it. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee the security of the world when the next outbreak occurs."

Experts call on the international community not to forget the origin of the epidemic and to continue to hold the CCP accountable.

China's long holiday is approaching, large-scale travel may cause the spread of the epidemic


Covid is raging in China and the long holiday is approaching. People are worried that large-scale travel may cause the spread of the epidemic.

People in Chengdu: "A new round of COVID-19 is probably coming again. A large number of people in the company have been infected in the past two days. For example, at our group's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner yesterday, one of the eight people was just fine, and two of them had a fever. Three out of eight people were infected. The infection rate is still relatively high. The department is also getting infected one after another."

Ling Chumian, attending physician at the Department of Anesthesiology, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital: "There are more fever patients in the hospital. I saw a friend said in the circle of friends, 'The dead covid virus has started attacking me again.' In fact, where did it die? Covi variant keeps mutating. The WHO has listed the covi mutant strain EG.5 as a strain of key concern. It is more infectious than previous mutant strains. In the population, it is more likely to cause severe and mild severe illness, and the course of the disease is also relatively long. This mutant strain has the characteristics of fast spread and strong escape ability. In addition, the protection of the current population is basically better than nothing, and everyone may be infected without knowing it."

Covid continues to spread in China, and many doctors and people say that the infection rate of this covid wave is very high. In addition, recently, disease control departments in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shaanxi and other places issued documents stating that there has been a small peak in fever clinics recently, mostly children. Some doctors said that after the covid epidemic, children have experienced several rounds of infectious diseases such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infection. Since July this year, the number of children suffering from mycoplasma pneumonia has increased significantly.

Zhao Chen, the attending physician at the Neonatology Department of Changzhi Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Shanxi Province: "Recently, there have been many children with mycoplasma infection in the outpatient clinic. For example, a 6-year-old child admitted to our hospital had a fever and cough for 6 days. After a CT scan and a lung test, Basically all white. Recently, many children have recurring coughs and fevers."

China's long holiday is approaching, and people are worried that large-scale travel and cross-transmission may worsen the epidemic.

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other places issued notices that sore eye has recently entered a period of high incidence.

Luo Xiaoyang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital: "In the past two weeks, there have been many children and even adults with sore eye in the outpatient clinic."

Guangxi people: “Since the day (pink eye syndrome/ sore eye) broke out, I have to wash my hands almost ten or twenty times a day, that is, no matter what I touch, I always wash my hands, and I don’t have the habit of rubbing my eyes or anything like that. As a result, there is no way to escape.”
