Cultures around the world vary hugely in what role language plays in forming their sense of identity, but a few kinds of language ideologies stand out. Almost all cultures have myths surrounding language origins, language purity, the linguistic differences between generations, and linguistic decline.Language myths like the Tower of Babel reveal a common trait of humanity: their worry about identityAs far back as records go, people expressed opinions about language. Ancient Mesopotamians even had a proverb: ‘A scribe who does not know Sumerian, what kind of scribe is he?’ Even in that remote period of antiquity, cultures prized the linguistic purity of their language, since even then people often believed it was the key to future success and a touchstone of identity. One Sumerian tells of his harrowing time at school[1] :The [teacher of] Sumerian (said) "You spoke. . .," [and the teacher] caned me.My teacher (said) "Your hand is not good," [and the teacher] caned me.I neglected the scribal art, [I forsook] the scribal art,My teacher did not [tablet illegible],[tablet illegible]ed me his skill in the scribal art.Sometimes a culture’s attitudes to language decline take the form of literal myths, stories set in a prehistoric or otherworldly time. The most famous of these is of course the myth of the Tower of Babel, in which the hubris of mankind is punished by linguistic disintegration, but many other cultures have myths in which linguistic diversity takes the form of a morality play. Among the Salish peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the diversity of languages arose because of a specific dispute[2] :Two people were arguing whether the high-pitched humming noise that accompanies ducks in flight is from air passing through the beak or from the flapping of wings. The argument is not settled by the chief, who then calls a council of all the leading people from nearby villages. This council breaks down in argument when nobody can agree, and eventually the dispute leads to a split where some people move far away. Over time they slowly began to speak differently, and eventually other languages were formed.The Wurruri group of Aboriginal Australians present an even more lurid tale in which an obnoxious old woman puts out other people’s campfires[3] :There was an old woman who would destroy the fires of those who were sleeping. She was such a nuisance to the people of the area that when she died, tribes came from wide and far to celebrate her passing. The first tribe that arrived began to eat her flesh and suddenly were able to speak intelligibly. Other tribes from the East began arriving and ate the contents of her intestines, which allowed them to speak language, but in a different way. The Northern tribes arrived last, and after devouring all that was left, they spoke a language even more removed from the first.Clearly cannibalism and language have no inherent connection, but the point of the story is something more abstract: that a loss of language purity is a taboo tantamount to a sullying and desecrating of the body politic.Even without invoking the supernatural or the primordial past, complaints about the ‘kids these days’ have always arisen. Cicero said: ‘Practically everyone…in those days spoke correctly. But the lapse of time has certainly had a deteriorating effect in this respect.’ In English, every passing generation of writers has produced a subset of curmudgeons lamenting a decline from the Golden Age that immediately preceded it. Jonathan Swift set precise dates to this period for English: ‘The Period wherein the English Tongue received most Improvement, I take to commence with the beginning of Queen Elizabeth’s Reign [1558], and to conclude with the Great Rebellion in [Sixteen] Forty Two.’ If so, this was already a decline from the Middle English period, when Ranulf Higden, a 14th century Benedictine monk from Chester, said:By intermingling and mixing, first with Danes and afterwards with Normans, in many people the language of the land is harmed, and some use strange inarticulate utterance, chattering, snarling, and harsh teeth-gnashing.Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern WeiAnd what is true of English is true in other cultures with deep historical memories. Modern Chinese complain about the influx of foreign loans (especially from English), and look back with nostalgia on the glorious language of the Tang Dynasty, that produced such poets as Li Bai and Du Fu. But even before the Tang arose, in the fifth century AD during the Northern Wei dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen instituted a program of forced language uniformity stating: ‘We wish to put an end to the various northern tongues and use only the orthodox language’. And going back further in history, Confucius himself made the ‘rectification of names’ a central platform of his philosophy. For him, one of the central problems of life was that people do not use language that corresponds with reality. The implication is of course that people are not using language in the perfect way that you would expect from a Golden Age.We thus approach a kind of historical reductio ad absurdum: over and over again, in different times and places, the real past of the language history is forgotten, and a new invented ideal past is idolatrously erected in its place. In this way, by critiquing the language of the present and honoring that of the past, people are really expressing their anxieties and fears about their own contemporary lives and experiences. But then, as Cicero might have put it: errare humanum est, to err is human.Footnotes[1] Sumerian School Days [Text and Object][2] http://Boas, Franz: Folk-Tales of Salishan and Sahaptin Tribes[3] Manners and customs of the Aborigines of the Encounter Bay tribe; South Australia

Raised as an Army Brat, the Army was the family business, so my dream was to join the family business. Dad, a retired CSM (Command Sergeant Major with 30 years) insisted that I go in as an officer. To that end I enrolled at Texas A&M and became a member of the Corps of Cadets.There was a huge buildup up of combat troops during 1966–67 and I was certain that the war would end prior to my commission in May of 1970. A week after the Spring semester started I decided to simply leave. I told my roommate to turn in my uniforms, took my footlocker to my car and drove to San Antonio, TX. I parked outside the Local Draft Board No9 and waited for it to open. I saw a man in uniform open the main door and I went into the building. The first individual I met asked to see my draft notice. I informed him that I was volunteering and wasn’t drafted. (At that time I had a 2S Draft Deferment, attending college; in July 1969 the lottery was established and I won Sep 14 was the first date selected) the soldier gave me a strange look and asked, “what, why are you volunteering?” I explained about my dad’s request and knew that I could earn a commission through OCS (Officer Candidate School). After a day of a physical, testing came the big moment, what did I was to specialize, what job in the Army. I sat in front of an E-7 SFC, he started, “son, you have a very high GT Score and three semesters at a University. I have the perfect position which will keep you out of Vietnam.” I interrupted him saying, “I know what I want I want Infantry.” With an excited voice he shot back, “look there are 600 guys in this building that would kill for this MOS because the vast majority will be in the Infantry and in 17 weeks will be sent to Vietnam.” I was adamant I thanked him for the offer but insisted Infantry. There were 40 recruits leaving for South Ft Polk to attend Basic, with my ROTC and college I was put in charge of the group. My main function was to carry all 40 packets/201-Files.Once at the reception station we were sent through the system receiving paperwork, I D Cards, hair cuts and then uniform issue plus hair cuts/removal.the next morning we meet our Drill E-4’s. This guy just back from the Nam hitting his helmet liner with a cut down broom handle shouted, “my name is Corporal Kelly, don’t you veer fucking forget my name!!!” (As you can tell I still know his name, face and the spit coming out of his mouth as he screamed) we were then taken through the induction with shots and testing. My score was such I along with four other guys to take the test for OCS. I was like hell ya, stage one. One section of the test had to do with the ability to learn a made up language. We were given 20 minutes to study the language. Looking over the page I quickly realized that it was a type of Latin with some words obviously made up. My mother insisted that I take Latin in high school because her father, a university professor in Tallin, Estonia where she was born. She said that her dad was fluent in Latin and Ancient Greek. I waited for the test proctor announce to turn the page and answer the 20 questions, multiplication. Easy finished in ten minutes. When we were given the scores I was told that once I complete my Infantry AIT (Advanced Individual Training) with a class date for OCS. I wanted to dance, stage two complete.after I completed AIT and selected as the Honor Grad after a board held at the Post Headquarters. I used all of the bearing and military leadership I learned while non the Corps at A&M. For example when ever I was asked a question by one of the 5 on the board I didn’t simple turn my head I turned my entire upper body.back at the Company area a formation was held to receive our assignments. There were 205 trainees in the company and all but 14 had been assigned to the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) in Vietnam; this after only 8 weeks of Basic and 9 weeks of AIT. When the 1SGT was in front of me he said, “Ft Benning Jump School.” WTF, no, it’s supposed to be OCS.” I rushed to the Orderly Room to find out what went wrong. The clerk showed me a letter posted to my 201 File. The letter from Special Forces Headquarters that I had been assigned to the Special Forces Training Group after Jump School. Yes I took a test in Basic when all of the RA’s were sent to a classroom. A Special Forces NCO gave his pitch and my hometown friend told me to stay. I stayed and took the tests and forgot about the event.after my three weeks at Jump School I was on my way to Ft Bragg, NC. Once signed in I requested a meeting with the Training Group CSM. In the meeting I informed the CSM that I had a class date with OCS. He said, “son don’t go there and become a huge kiss ass to get promoted, stay here this is where the Army is real and no BS.” I then told him about being an Army Brat and dreamed of commanding a platoon in combat and that my dad served in OSS during WWII. “there it is son, you’ll be a second generation Special Ops and when you request the 5th Group, RVN ask for the Mobile Strike Force and you’ll have command of a company without the BS of the Big Army Machine.” I stayed. When I graduated from the Special Forces Training Group August 1969 (now called the Q Course) I was informed that I was assigned to the 7th Group. I protested and requested the 5th Group. Why MSG Howell asked. “I don’t want to rake pine needles, pickup pine cones and cut grass. MSG Howell smiled and said, “well son (they always Calle Dame son???), pack you’re shit your next stop is Vietnam and good luck; if you can’t be safe be deadly (a common saying in Special Forces still used today). I ran to the PX and purchased a 5th Group Flash and sewing kit. I sat on a bench outside of the PX and sewed on my Flash. I really don’t remember walking back to the hill for the evening meal; I was like damn I’m a Green Beret. I joined the back of the chow line. At that time the Phase 3 and Phase 1 trainees shared a mess hall. The guy in front of me looked at me and said, “please go in front of me.” This continued to happened until I was at the front of the line, RESPECT and it felt great.Went home on a 30 day leave with a reporting date of 17 September 1969. During the 30 days it hit me mom was depressed and I and dad were ecstatic. I flew from San Antonio to Houston and caught the connecting flight to Ft Lewis. In route I was picked up by a Stewardess after I told her that two days ago was my birthday and wanted one last fish dinner at a seaside restaurant and if she would recommend such a place. She said, “this is my terminal flight, wait for me at the gate and I’ll take you to a fantastic fish restaurant. “ OK, remember I was a Green Beret, wearing a TW fitted uniform with a 28” waist. I had a zipper sewn in so the buttons wouldn’t pull. She chose to sit in the middle seat to do her paperwork and being young and shy I was like WTF did she take the middle seat and besides I’m sure she had a fold down desk in her area. After the meal she drove to the Airport Hotel and we went to her room. Yes, we did the dirty many times; I was in fantastic shape and extremely conditioned. The next morning I got up and dressed to sign in at Ft Lewis. I noticed two additional Stewardess in the room and in my Walter Mitty mind I did all three, no it was just a thought.When i arrived at Ft Lewis and signed in the NCO said, “you’ve been AWOL for 20 hours, why?” I told him in detail what happened.” He laughed and said, “i’ll change your sign in date, damn, you’re Good To Go.”I’ll skip the boring story about my time in the Nam but will add; I did command the 43rd Company made up of indigenous Cambodians (112 men). My company, remember I was just an E-5 Buck Sergeant, were sent on five 30 day Combat Operations.I took my out processing form and after two days the only signature I needed was the 5th Group CSM. When I knocked on his door he opened the doer and took me to his leather couch. On the coffee table were three sets of paperwork, here it comes the smooth sell, he offered me an immediate promotion to SSG E-6, to reenlist for 6 years and extend for another year in the Nam. He then handed me a pen. I pulled out a letter from the University of Texas acceptance letter and gave it to the CSM. He was liked really upset but took the paperwork tore them up and told me to get the fuck outta his office with the parting words, “you better fucking graduate!” I did May 5, 1974. So dad was happy and mom was over the top happy. She sent in the paperwork on my behalf to the University of Texas; she then mailed me the acceptance letter. After I started my career I joined the 12th Special Forces Group Reserves and stayed for 14 years.

WARNING: The following is graphic information. References to Rape, murder, torture, suicide, and gruesome imagery are part of this answer. Discretion is advised. I do not recommend children 16 (perhaps 18) or under should read this.Thanks for the a2a. I’ve been asked this question here several times. I’m going to give you the most detailed answer on Covid-19 that I have written to date. The answer is a simple, “No.” I’m going to quote from an article in the “Geopolitics” that was written by Joseph Siew. It was written earlier last year, but I believe the information is reliable still.As of 6th April 2020, there are 338,899 Americans confirmed infected with the Covid-19 and 9,679 deaths as a result of the infection. That is 4 times the number of infected in China. The number of confirmed cases is only constrained by the availability of test kits and medical personnel. This would mean that those infected with Covid-19 could be in the millions in US alone! One would wonder how did this number balloon from a mere double-digit cases to hundreds of thousands tested positive? How could there be hundreds of thousands of cases when America is thousands of miles from the suspected origin (China) of the Coronavirus? There are only two possibilities; 1) either America is the real sick man; or 2) the virus originated from US and has been around for quite some time. I believe that the latter is the case.I do too. One thing about me that I do not often reveal is that I am a student of “conspiracy history,” as it’s not always a popular subject. I believe America (and other nations) have a very long history of covering up the facts of history. (See Operations: Paperclip, COINTRLPRO, Mockingbird, Bluebeam, MKUltra, MKNaomi, The Church Committee Papers, etc. for further reading on American conspiracies that have been proven true.)In fact, I believe the history leading to COVID-19 goes back much further and did happen to be in China. Let’s go all the way back to the Second Sino-Japanese War that merged into WWII. In Manchuria, Japan invaded. They blew up their own railroad and blamed it on China, using it as a pretext to invade the Manchurian Provence. Tragedies occurred in the Second Sino-Japanese War such as the Rape of Nanking (Nanjing) and the bombing of Shanghai on Bloody Saturday.(This baby girl survived the Bombing of Shanghai and was reunited with her father. I believe her mother may have died during the bombing.)But I specifically want to talk about the Tragedies of Unit 731. It was officially known to the world as “Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army (関東軍防疫給水部本部” but it was a cover story.Originally set up under the Kenpeitai. military police of the Empire of Japan, Unit 731 was taken over and commanded until the end of the war by General Shirō Ishii, a combat medic officer in the Kwantung Army. The facility itself was built in 1935 as a replacement for the Zhongma Fortress, and to expand the capabilities for Ishii and his team. The program received generous support from the Japanese government up to the end of the war in 1945. —WikipediaThe reality was much more sinister. Dr. Shiro Ishii was the Japanese version of Dr. Mengele. The facilities were used for biological weapon production, testing, and deployment—on Chinese civilians. Yes, Human Experimentation against the will of the test subjects.Additionally, the biological weapons were tested in the field on cities and towns in China. Estimates of those killed by Unit 731 and its related programs range up to half a million people.—WikipediaBut probably the worst part was that men, women, children, and even infants were rounded up and held prisoner at Unit 731. Dr. Shiro Ishii, with full knowledge and permission from the Japanese government used these people to act out his most depraved, sinister, and torturous fantasies in the name of Science.There was nothing, literally nothing, off limits.Prisoners that had been forcefully infected with the plague (yes, that plague) were then forced to rape women prisoners, and then they were forced to abort so the officers could conduct experiments on the fetuses at various stages. These Comfort Women would not survive. Babies that were allowed to carry to term were immediately taken from their mothers and used in live experiments. None of the babies survived.People were subjected to extreme temperatures. The officers induced hyperthermia on prisoners and then subjected them to boiling hot water.The affected body parts were left untreated so they would become infected and fall off—if the victims didn’t die first.Unnecessary surgical procedures were performed via vivisection—surgery while the patient/victim is awake with absolutely no anesthesia or analgesia.The used prisoners in experiments where they were tied down and bombs loaded with plague infected rats were dropped. These were eventually dropped on civilian populations in China.Other photographs. Don’t look away. I want you to understand the depths of depravity that took place. You will understand in a moment why my anger is directed at Japan and the United States.(These photos were found on WW2wrecks, Google, and Wikipedia. If any pictures presented here are not from events at Unit 731, I apologize, but I did attempt to use only photos labeled from Unit 731.)As WW2 came to a close and imminent arrival from Soviet forces were realized, the Japanese covered their tracks. And unlike Germany’s Auschwitz, not one single soul left at Unit 731 survived of the prisoners. Those that had not already been killed were killed in the hours leading up to the Soviet arrival.Ministries in Tokyo ordered the destruction of all incriminating materials, including those in Pingfang. Potential witnesses, such as the 300 remaining prisoners were either gassed or fed poison while the 600 Chinese and Manchurian laborers were shot. Ishii ordered every member of the group to disappear and "take the secret to the grave".[77] Potassium cyanide vials were issued for use in the event that the remaining personnel were captured. —WikipediaNow you may be wondering why this has anything to do with the US and COVID-19.The researchers involved in Unit 731 were secretly given immunity by the United States in exchange for the data they gathered through human experimentation.[7] —WikipediaThat’s right. The white hats let the black hats go free of any punishment, imprisonments, or accountability. Who would authorize such a horrible miscarriage of justice?!On 6 May 1947, Douglas MacArthur, as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, wrote to Washington that "additional data, possibly some statements from Ishii, can probably be obtained by informing Japanese involved that information will be retained in intelligence channels and will not be employed as war crimes evidence".[7] Victim accounts were then largely ignored or dismissed in the West as communist propaganda.[9] —WikipediaGeneral Douglas MacArthur, a man I once respected, let the demons of hell go for some files of information that we would use at Fort Detrick for Biological Warfare experiments. You may honor his name if you wish, but you will do it will full knowledge of what he allowed to go free.Sanders' duty was to investigate Japanese biological warfare activity. At the time of his arrival in Japan he had no knowledge of what Unit 731 was.[52]Until Sanders finally threatened the Japanese with bringing the Soviets into the picture, little information about biological warfare was being shared with the Americans. The Japanese wanted to avoid prosecution under the Soviet legal system, so the next morning after he made his threat, Sanders received a manuscript describing Japan's involvement in biological warfare.[78] Sanders took this information to General Douglas MacArthur, who was the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers responsible for rebuilding Japan during the Allied occupations. MacArthur struck a deal with Japanese informants:[79] He secretly granted immunity to the physicians of Unit 731, including their leader, in exchange for providing America, but not the other wartime allies, with their research on biological warfare and data from human experimentation.[7] —WikipediaIt gets worse. I’m sorry to say, but America was only getting started. You see, we didn’t even use much of the information the Japanese provided at first.From 1948 to 1958, less than 5% of the documents were transferred onto microfilm and stored in the National Archives of the United States, before being shipped back to Japan.[87] —WikipediaAmerican researchers deemed the documents of little use, their procurement based on the assumption that the lack of ethics restraints in the experiments conducted would lead to results of value having proved false. However, America was determined not to let it go; they were not done with Dr. Ishii:US President Harry S. Truman secretly sent a scientific team to Japan on a secret mission, led by Carl Compton, then president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to meet the former founder and leader of the 731st Army, the “demon doctor” Ishii Shiro…In April 1947 Dr. Norbert Fell of Fort Detrick was ordered to go to Japan again to investigate, and in the June 29th issue of the “Summary of New Information on Biological Weapons in Japan,” he stated that “the experiments currently being studied at Fort Detrick have been done by the Japanese, and there are many new studies, including the effects of fungi, bacteria, and nematodes on grains and vegetables in Manchuria and Siberia.” …The report is said to be 60 pages long and includes research on the amount of infection or death caused by anthrax, plague, typhoid fever, paratyphoid type A and B, dysentery, cholera, nasal gangrene, the mode of infection, bomb tests, spray tests, stability, etc. The report is now in the United States National Archives (290/03/19/02).Beginning on 29 October 1947, Dr. Edwin Hill of Fort Detrick began 76 interviews with key members of the 731st, covering plant, animal, human experimentation, various viruses and the use of biological weapons in warfare….The Edwin Hill Report was presented on 12 December and in it, the report strongly defended Ishii’s petition for exoneration. All interview transcripts and materials are in the United States National Archives.—MediumBut interviews weren’t enough. We would write what the British Guardian refers to as a “Black Moral Check.” Not only would Ishii gain his freedom, he would be put on the US payroll, working at Fort Detrick, Maryland to ensure that his legacy lived on. Just as we had done with Project Paperclip and the Germans, we imported this Japanese monster too.Yet the United States not only helped Ishii and his colleagues escape a war crimes trial, many historians suspect that Fort Detrick hired Ishii to research biological weapons for the United States. —MediumSee also:Japanese Ishii Shiro, who had conducted human experiments in Manchuria, was later hired by the US as a biological weapons consultant.—The British GuardianIt was not mere speculation. General Willoughby sent a secret telegram to Washington admitting that it was imperative that we do it to safeguard the efforts already put in. In other words, “We can’t let go of our Japanese asset.”(Copy of Willoughby’s telegraph that is not such a secret now.)We excused this atrocity by calling it a matter of National Security. Sound familiar? How many other travesties have been committed and covered up due to National Security? Only God knows.Thus, after carefully considering the importance of the 731st’s experimental results data to “the national defense and security of the United States,” General Herbert of the SWNCC wrote in an August 27 memo suggesting some changes to the final position paper, including the following: “The current data … do not appear to be sufficient to sustain the war crimes charges against Ishii and his colleagues.” The memorandum is now in the United States National Archives (250/68/05/03).—MediumIshii’s legacy certainly would live on at Fort Detrick, and Fort Detrick would become infamous indeed. The official name of the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory is the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. MKNaomi became the operation to follow MKUltra to deal with biological weapons and warfare.MKUltra had been blown open in the 1975 Church Committee hearings. The Church Committee was a US Senate select committee in 1975 that investigated abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service. MKULTRA was ordered to basically cease and desist. So what’s a corrupt organization to do? Project MKNAOMI of course. While Project Naomi had existed since the 1950s, it would now take over the biological weapons aspect of MKULTRA.This is a declassified document from MKULTRA and MKNAOMI. I circled in blue for you the words “Fort Detrick” so that you can see for yourself how it all ties together.Surveillance, testing, upgrading and the evaluation of special materials and items were also provided by MKNAOMI so as to ensure that no defects and unwanted contingencies emerged during operational conditions. For these purposes the U.S. Army's Special Operations Command (SOC) was assigned to assist the CIA in the development, testing and maintenance procedures for the biological agents and delivery systems (1952).—WikipediaIn other words, part of MKNAOMI was to ensure nothing “emerged” and for proper maintenance of biological agents. Well, someone failed at their job, because quite a bit has escaped from Fort Detrick. They made headlines in 1989 for the docu-book “The Blood Plague” which researched Fort Detrick’s involvement with Ebola. Yes, that fun filled time of terror a few years ago when Ebola was popping up around the world? Guess who pioneered work in it? Fort Detrick.They made headlines again when a Fort Detrick scientist was accused of being behind the 2001 anthrax by mail scare. He “committed suicide” before he was arrested.From 2011–2016 petitions were circulated calling for the closure of the facility after the neighborhood surrounding it experienced a cluster of extremely rare cancer.Fort Detrick’s weapons have seeped underground and severely impacted our lives. This irresponsible behavior has affected thousands of people and has given my family, friends and neighbors a rare form of cancer. It has taken more than 2,500 lives.—excerpt from the petitionResearchers would later find leaks of Agent Orange, anthrax, weaponized botulism poisoning and radiocarbon xiv near Fort Detrick.Interestingly, most of the above were studied at Ishii and his colleagues’ 731st unit. This is also detailed in the above-mentioned article by American journalist John Powell, “Japanese Bacteriological Warfare: The U.S. Cover-up of War Crimes”: “Apparently, researchers at Fort Detrick learned a great deal from their Japanese counterparts… one researcher called the report (obtained) ‘priceless’. The biological weapons later developed by the United States were extremely similar to those already developed in Japan, for example, infecting the spore virus with feathers was one of Ishii’s ideas, and later, feather bombs became the basic configuration in the American biological arsenal.”That would not be the end of their leaks. In 2019, two leaks during July and August caused the CDC to issue Fort Detrick a “cease and desist” order. The letter, sent in July would not be enough to stop the August leak. After that, Fort Detrick was closed and that sounds nice until you realize closed means relocated. To another military base.What is even more worrying is that this base, located in “sweet air” Maryland, has taken over the “research results” of the 731st Army, which has done the most harm to the Chinese people, and what it is used for, we do not know. The “real-world experience” of its virus leak is even more chilling. Because here are preserved other viruses that are much more worrisome and dangerous than the new crown virus.—Mediumthe US cover-up of Ishii et al.’s war crimes and Fort Detrick’s takeover of the 731st, in an age when important national politicians are free to make unfounded and random disinformation, how many people will see the truth even if it is true? Perhaps, as British virologist Dr. Alastair Hay wrote in Nature in 2004, “Unfortunately, few Chinese scholars working in this field have access to the relevant archives.”Coincidentally the 2019 flu season was especially deadly in the United States. Japan would pick up on this and question it on their National news.In February, Japan’s TV Asahi News fired the first shot when it questioned America’s 2019 deadly flu season. The news channel hinted that at least part of those who contracted the “flu” were actually Covid-19. Of the 26 million infected with flu in 2019, at least 14,000 were killed. Since the medical expenses in America are way too high for many, 1/3 of the Americans have no medical insurance. Anyone with flu like symptoms were declared as flu. Therefore, it was absolutely valid to question the flu figure. —-Geopolitics, Joseph SiewThe CDC director later had to concede that some of those deaths could have been Covid-19. Interestingly enough, Taiwan would conduct its own investigation and it reveals the following:On 27th February, a top virologist and pharmacologist from Taiwan presented his findings on national TV, that there were altogether 5 strains of the SARS-CoV-2, A, B, C, D, E and the relationships amongst the various haplotypes; A being the original or the grandfather of the 5 strains, B is a mutation of A and so on and so forth. Surprisingly, America has all the 5 strains of the virus. China, on the other hand, only has strain C, which is the son of B and grandson of A. In other words, the Taiwanese expert concluded in their findings that America is most likely the origin of the coronavirus because the location with the greatest diversity of the virus is the source. —-Geopolitics, Joseph SiewHe goes on to document that Chinese National Hero and doctor, Zhong Nanshan is quoted as saying, “though the COVID-19 was first discovered in China, it does not mean that it originated from China,”Then why did China end up coming forward to the world about COVID-19? If it really started from a leak in Fort Detrick how did it get all the way to China? Excellent question.Later in October, more than 300 US soldiers and personnel travelled to Wuhan, China, to participate in the Wuhan Military World Games 2019. And during this time, the soldiers were mainly housed in a hotel within walking distance from the Wuhan Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market, initially speculated to be the place that the virus first spread. At least 5 soldiers were reported sick with flu like symptoms during their stay in Wuhan. —-Geopolitics, SiewSo let’s recap. July and August saw leaks at Fort Detrick, and in October members of the US military, for the first time, participated in military games in Wuhan, where they visited the place suspected to start the outbreak: the seafood market. US military members came down with “the flu.” Now we are at December 2019.Then, in early December, sporadic cases of pneumonia that were resistant to antibiotics began to appear in Wuhan. On the 31st December, China CDC informed WHO country office of cases of unknown pneumonia detected in Wuhan. The response by China was one of the fastest, and it led to Beijing making a decision, in January, to lockdown Wuhan and Hubei where Wuhan was located. Other major cities also executed very strict movement control of residents. —-Geopolitics, SiewFebruary each year is when Chinese New Year is celebrated. Do you understand that Chinese New Year is when the largest global migration of people takes place? Every year. Chinese people from all over typically return to their families to celebrate together. The fact that this street in Wuhan looked like this during the busiest travel season for China tells me that President Xi, Beijing, and the Chinese CDC acted appropriately. Once they detected Covid they shut everything down.From the above timeline, we could see a more probable reason why if US is the source, and in particular, Fort Detrick military lab, then it would be easy to explain why the East Coast is now the epicenter of the pandemic, with the west coast relatively untouched. It would also explain why the 2019 flu season was exceptionally deadly. And why with all the precautions taken by the west, e.g. cutting the flights, and the travel bans of Chinese into the country, did not stop the spread of the virus, because the source was never China but USA. —-Geopolitics, SiewPresident Trump began his campaign, not only for reelection but a smear campaign against China, calling it, “the Kung Flu” and the “China virus.” A veritable Cold War has been going on between the US and China and Chinese Americans are suffering racism and attacks like never before. People have refused to believe China’s retelling of events, demanding an investigation. When the WHO investigation did take place, people still refused to believe China.(The WHO arriving in Wuhan)They spent two weeks in China investigating COVID-19 to determine if the Wuhan lab was the location of the outbreak and said, “It is extremely unlikely that COVID-19 started in a lab.” This was reported in Fortune Magazine.(Fortune’s Headline)It is my belief that either by accident or intent, the US spread COVID-19 in China. I hope it was accidental, but with the climate so hostile toward China right now, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it were done intentionally.Either way, China has possibly been victimized by Dr. Ishii twice. Once from Unit 731 and twice through his legacy at Fort Detrick and it’s subsequent outbreak. To add insult to injury, the perpetrators (US) have accused the perpetrated (China). It would seem it has all come full circle for China. But China is no longer weak, Japan has never apologized, and the US has not admitted its crimes. What should China do, I wonder, about Japan and the US? President Xi has been gracious. And wise. He allowed travel back to the US for those in China who were from America and concerned. In other words, he sent the virus right back to where it came from. Good for him.
