A report by The New York Times claims Chinese operatives helped spread false COVID-19 information via text and social media across the US. According to US intelligence officials, the Chinese operatives amplified disinformation about a national lockdown, and those messages then spread quickly on their own. Some of the tactics reportedly used -- like creating fake social media accounts to push messages to sympathetic Americans -- are reminiscent of techniques used by Russia-backed trolls, NYT reports.

History truth will be written by the winner in present trade and biological wars. For now it seems to be China, but who knows.

So, ten years from now US children could read special chapter in school book, about their criminal goverment and its actions. Can check any source on how denazification worked in GErmany.

Given the 1st US death is now on February 6, and the victim did not travel to China, then there is community transmission in US since at least early to mid January. Although the US did close down travel to China on January 31, it did not close down travel from Europe until March 12. Phylogenetic studies on SARS-COV2 strains show that 2/3 of the strains collected and analyzed on COVID-19 patients in NY are the mutated virus variant from Europe. Basically when US chose to impose travel restrictions from China and Europe, it is too late.

The argument that Birx and Trump were making was clear. China’s number was way out of line with the others, lower by more than a factor of 10. Therefore, China’s report was a lie. But in her chart Birx omitted data coming from countries of East Asia and nearby that have been praised by the US media for their performance and whose data are unquestioned in the West. Here are some relevant omitted data, taken again from The New York Times of April 19, with China included again for comparison.

Deaths per 100,000 population

South Korea: 0.5

Japan: 0.5

Australia: 0.3

China: 0.3

Singapore: 0.2

Taiwan: < 0.1

Hong Kong: < 0.1

China’s number falls right into line with that of neighboring countries. Birx’s exercise, in fact, is a classic example of lying by omission, a half-truth being a full lie.

Trump made the comments from the Rose Garden at the White House Monday after he was pressed by a reporter over a German newspaper report suggesting that China should be issued a $160 billion invoice for the impact on Europe's economy.

The president responded he had a "much easier" idea: "We have ways of doing things a lot easier than that," Trump told the coronavirus press briefing. "Germany’s looking at things, and we’re looking at things, and we’re talking about a lot more money than Germany’s talking about."

"We haven’t determined the final amount yet. It’s very substantial," Trump added, suggesting it would be significantly more than the $160 billion floated in German media.

My personal prediction - US will demand China to supply all products for free for at least 2-3 years.

China could have 50 times more coronavirus cases than claimed, Trump administration official says

Officials point to the existence of seven funeral homes inside Wuhan city with a total incineration capacity of about 2,000 corpses per day. They also flag recent reporting that incinerators have been in near-constant use for 24 hours per day over the past several weeks. They note that, at this rate, the city's incineration capacity nears 60,000 corpses per month.

I think CIA match overall US officials level lately.

@stacyherbert ( co-host of the Keiser Report)

The entire world saw China shutdown the entire city of Wuhan shuttering factories and the economy. Anyone with two eyes and half a brain could see they were ACTING as if this were very serious. I bought masks, hand sanitizer, lysol wipes at the end of January. Why didn't State?

Secretary Pompeo @SecPompeo >Apr 23 .. We strongly believe that #China didn’t report the outbreak of the new #coronavirus in a timely fashion to the @WHO . Even after the CCP did notify the WHO of the coronavirus outbreak, China didn’t share all of the information it had.

If Stacy and myself were able to see the situation clearly and respond early, why couldn’t our government? This isn’t rocket science. The Chinese were acting as if the world had ended in cities across the country and we’re supposed to believe U.S. leaders simply listened to what the CCP was saying as opposed to what they were doing? How does that make any sense?

It makes even less sense considering the Trump administration has been in an explicit cold war with China for almost two years. This concept that the American national security state just took China’s word for what was going on in the early days is preposterous. So what’s going on here? Similar to Russiagate, the increased focus on directing our ten minutes of hate at the Chinese provides cover for the elites, but Chinagate is far more dangerous because the narrative will prove far more convincing for many Americans.

@jleo...a confabulation of quotes from archive don't contradict the stupid theory put forth in the asiatimes article. In fact occams razor's truth is obvious. And per the kaiser report group, it's easy to see they aren't looking at the whole timeline, and don't mention numbers at all. As per articles saying the USa is under reporting....that could be true, but then ya'll are also saying that everyone but china was over reporting, including whatever cause of death as attributed to corona. So which is it ? I hate to agree with someone like pompeo, but the timeline is clear. And there were a number of anomalies of china's infection and death toll during the timeline that weren't logical, and at the same time chinese citizen journalist saying deaths were much higher, and china didn't respond to questions. Yes, alot of guesses. That's what someone has to do when the information is occulted . It boggles my mind why someone would believe any govt, especially a govt that controls information and arrests bloggers, and puts a million muslims in brainwash school. And not only, but they outlawed publishing any data that researches the viruses source. Next you're going to be telling me the virus escaped at that wet market. I read a chinese propaganda piece the morning feeding the wetmarket crapola. @Vitaliy...while all the evidence is anecdotal, for obvious reasons that people get arrested that contradict the official line, the "urn number" story as well as the "incinerator's going 24/7" story haven't been proven untrue.

@Vitaliy...but of course they are hiding stuff ....in order to survive.

@Vitaliy ...I don't agree. The fact is the ccp hid the virus for over a week....fact. They also hid the fact that it was contagious. These events didn't have anything to do with western elite pressitutes, and proves there's good reason, coupled with the fact we know they're trying to hide information about the viruses origin, to not believe a fuxin word they say.
