On Facebook Dr. Roy Spencer asked:

Can someone tell me why the U.S. taxpayer should pay the ChiComs to modify an animal virus so it hurts humans?
And why is this called "gain of function"?

Cate Bennett left this comment:

If you want a serious answer, I can tell you my educated guess. Such genetic manipulation is done to see what Nature might inevitably evolve, so that we can be better able to fight against it (make better vaccines, antibodies, etc). Scientists who sit on review panels do not think in terms of malign entities using something for evil. Perhaps that is naive. Every grant review has a 'foreign country" component that evaluates whether the work could be better done in the USA. A grant has to pass this test. Perhaps -- and I'm speculating -- it was determined that the bat population in China and the Wuhan facility was in a unique position to conduct this research.
I don't think anyone thought in terms of malicious government action.
Personally -- and I emphasize this is my personal opinion -- if it was from the lab, I suspect it was an accident by sloppy scientists, not malicious. Who had the most to lose? The Chinese! If this has been a planned attack, surely so many would not have gotten in in Nov and Dec 2019. If you go on my profile, you will see that I know more than the average citizen about this, but again, I emphasize that I'm speaking for myself only, not my agency.

Rich Cogsey disagrees:

Consider this. SARS-2 would take over 22,000 years to form in perfect laboratory conditions.

According to Dr. Perez who published the study along with Dr. Montagnier that for this virus to form naturally would take and to confirm the inserts from HIV allow the bat virus to make the jump from animals to humans would take over 22,000 years. .

Again, for this virus to form 2 pHds, one who won the Nobel prize for discovering HIV
and the other a bio mathematician come out confirm this virus could only be made in a laboratory.

over 22,000 years in perfect laboratory conditions.

Along with 3 other papers.

So…….

Cate Bennett you say

"Who had the most to lose? The Chinese! If this has been a planned attack, surely so many would not have gotten in in Nov and Dec 2019."

I disagree. The Chinese had everything to gain and little to lose (except some of their own people, which they can afford.)

The Trump policy was killing them economically. His tariffs were really hurting their economy, and they had to take action. So they released a virus not to wipe us out but to damage our economy, and to hurt the President's chances of being re-elected. They had already infiltrated the World Health Organization and knew they could count on that corrupt body to promote economy-busting policies around the globe. They knew this virus was really not that deadly as pandemics are concerned.

They had the most to gain, not lose.

Chinese leaders have long said war with the U.S. is inevitable. They were running a biological weapons program. We KNOW this.

And China was the first to reopen their economy (actually, they never shut down their industrial production) and so were able to take a lot of market shares.

And they were able to get China Joe, their bought and paid for guy (look it up; Biden has a lot of ties to Chinese corporations) in power in the U.S., and Biden has actively worked to hurt America and American interests.

There is every reason to believe it was intentional.

And why did Fauci lie about not funding gain of function research in China? He is still lying about it. We have his e-mails, which include notes from some top guys telling him exactly what they did to create the virus.

Donald Trump was going to win re-election by a landslide had the pandemic not struck. Trump was being undercut by many of the career people in the administration, I might add, when he tried to deal with this (for instance, a career State Department official appointed by Obama overrode Trump's travel ban and allowed a bunch of Chinese to come into the U.S.) The Deep State was desperate to remove Mr. Trump. Do you really believe the CIA would shrink from allowing a few hundred thousand people to die in the process? I don't.

The Chinese had everything to gain. The Democrats had everything to gain. The CIA and FBI and other agencies had everything to gain. The Internationalists had everything to gain. Only the People had everything to lose.

The same people who voted Mr. Trump into office in the first place.

It may be that many of those who cooperated with this didn't  realize how bad it would be. But it does not change the fact that the Chicoms didn't tell us about the virus early on, and then they wouldn't give us any information, or allow us to do our own research in situ.

The great military philosopher Sun Tzu said that the greatest victory is the battle unfought. If you can win without engaging directly is the acme of skill. Seems to me this virus was a great unfought victory. Sun Tzu was Chinese.

Ron Albertson adds:

I would be curious to hear a reaction to this piece, written by a professor who teaches 'Critical Theory' (which is Marxism reconstituted, of course, and is the tree off which Critical Race Theory, Legal Theory etc are branched). So, a view from 'the left' that could easily have been written by someone on 'the right'. Roy, the answer to your excellent question *may* be here. May ...

In pre-Covid times, the world economy was on the verge of another colossal meltdown. Here is a brief chronicle of how the pressure was building up:

June 2019: In its Annual Economic Report, the Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the ‘Central Bank of all central banks’, sets the international alarm bells ringing. The document highlights "overheating […] in the leveraged loan market”, where "credit standards have been deteriorating” and "collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) have surged – reminiscent of the steep rise in collateralized debt obligations [CDOs] that amplified the subprime crisis [in 2008].” Simply stated, the belly of the financial industry is once again full of junk.

9 August 2019: The BIS issues a working paper calling for "unconventional monetary policy measures” to "insulate the real economyfrom further deterioration in financial conditions”. The paper indicates that, by offering "direct credit to the economy” during a crisis, central bank lending "can replace commercial banks in providing loans to firms.”

15 August 2019: Blackrock Inc., the world’s most powerful investment fund (managing around $7 trillion in stock and bond funds), issues a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn. Essentially, the paper instructs the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directlyinto the financial system to prevent "a dramatic downturn.” Again, the message is unequivocal: "An unprecedented response is needed when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough. That response will likely involve ‘going direct’”: "finding ways to get central bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders” while avoiding "hyperinflation. Examples include the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as well as Argentina and Zimbabwe more recently.”

22-24 August 2019: G7 central bankers meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss BlackRock’s paper along with urgent measures to prevent the looming meltdown. In the prescient words of James Bullard, President of the St Louis Federal Reserve: "We just have to stop thinking that next year things are going to be normal.”

15-16 September 2019: The downturn is officially inaugurated by a sudden spike in the repo rates (from 2% to 10.5%). ‘Repo’ is shorthand for ‘repurchase agreement’, a contract where investment funds lend money against collateral assets (normally Treasury securities). At the time of the exchange, financial operators (banks) undertake to buy back the assets at a higher price, typically overnight. In brief, repos are short-term collateralized loans. They are the main source of funding for traders in most markets, especially the derivatives galaxy. A lack of liquidity in the repo market can have a devastating domino effect on all major financial sectors.

17 September 2019: The Fed begins the emergency monetary programme, pumping hundreds of billions of dollars per weekinto Wall Street, effectively executing BlackRock’s "going direct” plan. (Unsurprisingly, in March 2020 the Fed will hire BlackRock to manage the bailout package in response to the ‘COVID-19 crisis’).

19 September 2019: Donald Trump signs Executive Order 13887, establishing a National Influenza Vaccine Task Forcewhose aim is to develop a "5-year national plan (Plan) to promote the use of more agile and scalable vaccine manufacturing technologies and to accelerate development of vaccines that protect against many or all influenza viruses.” This is to counteract "an influenza pandemic”, which, "unlike seasonal influenza […] has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe, infect higher numbers of people, and cause high rates of illness and death in populations that lack prior immunity”. As someone guessed, the pandemic was imminent, while in Europe too preparations were underway (see here and here).

18 October 2019: In New York, a global zoonotic pandemic is simulated during Event 201, a strategic exercise coordinated by the Johns Hopkins Biosecurity Center and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

21-24 January 2020: The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting takes place in Davos, Switzerland, where both the economy and vaccinations are discussed.

23 January 2020: China puts Wuhan and other cities of the Hubei province in lockdown.

11 March 2020: The WHO’s director general calls Covid-19 a pandemic. The rest is history.

Joining the dots is a simple enough exercise. If we do so, we might see a well-defined narrative outline emerge, whose succinct summary reads as follows: lockdowns and the global suspension of economic transactions were intended to 1) Allow the Fed to flood the ailing financial markets with freshly printed money while deferring hyperinflation; and 2) Introduce mass vaccination programmes and health passports as pillars of a neo-feudal regime of capitalist accumulation. As we shall see, the two aims merge into one.
