And to strike out with something uncontrollably virulent like this..... possible. Again look at the shape the USA is in now, it's everything our enemies could ever hope for. Might admit that could be true. Abstract thinking could be plausible deniability. All politicians care about nothing except their power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May or may not mean anything. Competence varies by a huge amount depending on who's desk your matter lands on, I'm sure medical is the same as I have had some really lousy doctors. And don't get too excited by fancy credentials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China could easily have allowed this to blossom if for no other reason than to to impact our elections. Nobodies been rougher on China than the Prex and his re-election position was looking rosy. You’d hope not but humanity has done worse things and in the not so distant past. China had a similar recent experience with SARS and may have cobbled together this scenario using that as a model. Under their iron hand they could wrest containment of the pandemic at home while the planet fends for itself. China is a patient and wise culture and they know their medicine. For them to initially loose control of this is curious...... cuz they surely do have control of things now. Strange days indeed. Strange indeed that we are falling for divisive propaganda to even posit such a thing. So, let's go back here---Russian interference was a hoax (and still is) but the Chinese will unleash a disease on the world in order to influence our elections....they are both our enemies, but one gets a pass. Fascinating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not their own people. True and true. But if they're going biological weaponry, this wasn't a good weapon -- they could come up with things far deadlier. And they know that we'll get back on our feet quickly. Look how fast we were building ships during WWII. First time events tend to throw us for a loop, but we'll figure it out -- I suppose China knows that about us. Also, they may be arrogant, but I doubt they want the rest of the world against them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 similar to what I told people at work ... "There are no stupid questions, just stupid people that ask questions." might be why I was once banned from talking to people outside of our organization without having my words approved by management...crap there were moderators there too.

JohnJ Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Dude...... facts that were covered and hidden from the masses aren't conspiracies. The ones that hide the truth are the conspirators, I'd name names but you'd defend them, mock me and drown me out. Alinski, Goebbels beelzibub started that practice used today by a big group. This is probably it for me but heck the admin won't respond to my request to get notification "E"s so wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
