While almost the entire world is criticizing China and accusing her of human rights abuses for locking down all of 26 million Shanghai citizens, when only some 26,000 positive-tested “Covid-19” cases were detected. At first sight, that indeed seems abnormal, or even a vast exaggeration. At first sight.
But let’s look again.
Remember the 2002 – 2004 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak?
It infected about 8,000 people and caused 774 deaths. By far, most of the cases and of the deaths were found in mainland China and Hongkong, some in Taiwan, and even a few in Japan, the US, and apparently in some more than 20 countries around the globe.
What is remarkable is that all of the “cases” were people with the Chinese genome. In other words, the virus attacked specifically the “Chinese race”, i.e. it was tailor-made to target China and her citizens.
“Coincidentally”, a few years earlier, in 1999 and 2000, the Chinese government detected hundreds of western “scientists”, typically from Harvard and other western reputed learning institutes and laboratories, collecting DNA samples from people in rural China, mostly in the north western provinces of China.
These “scientists” hired Chinese citizens to help them collect blood samples in isolated regions for pay. The westerners were, of course expulsed, once detected. However – too late. They had already smuggled out of China thousands of DNA samples taken from native Chinese. See this.
These samples would later serve to design a special corona virus targeting the Chinese genome. The resulting 2002-2004 SARS outbreak in China was a trial – for worse to come.
Remember also Event 201 that took place in NYC on October 18, 2019? sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security which also hosted the event.
During this event, all the important world actors, such as the World Bank, IMF, the UN and many of the UN specialized agencies, including UNICEF – and of course WHO – as well as key banking and financial institutions – major US health institutes, like CDC, FDA, and even China’s CDC – and many more – participated in this desk-top simulation – which was to produce worldwide more than 60 million deaths in the span of about two to three years. See this.
As the Chinese authorities were well aware of the genetically targeted virus, they were alert when SARS-Cov-2 hit Wuhan in early 2020. Their reaction was logical, immediate and severe. They locked down not only Wuhan (pop. 11 million) at once, but a large portion – some 50 million people – of Hubei Province, of which Wuhan is the capital. Subsequently more areas within China, where SARS-Cov-2 was detected, were locked down. It meant the beginning of zero-tolerance for what later was conveniently renamed by WHO as Covid-19. Also remember, Covid-19, alias SARS-Cov-2, was never isolated or identified as a new virus.
Knowing the background of genetic- or race-designed viruses, China’s reaction to protect her citizens was logical and immediate. In fact, with this policy China mastered the disease largely within about six to eight months. During those harsh lockdowns, some 80% of the Chinese industrial complex was paralyzed. But by the end of 2020 most of the Chinese production apparatus, factories, shipping lines, agricultural production were humming again – and back on stream.
This is among the main reasons why the Chinese economic growth hardly suffered during this new covid outbreak. In fact, against IMF projection of 1.2% growth in 2021, and the Chinese own projection of 3.5% economic expansion in 2021 – actual Chinese growth in 2021 was registered as 5.5%. This growth and resulting export potential has helped many countries, especially on the Asian Continent, to reduce their covid-induced losses and to move their economies forward.
Ever since Chairman Mao Zedong’s communist revolution in 1949, China was a persistent thorn in western capitalist eyes. As China has gradually grown into a super-power, economically as well as strategically speaking, attacks and western sanctions on China have also grown. No matter how illegal, against international law and against human rights – led by the US, the west is relentlessly imposing economic sanctions on China – and of course also on China’s closest ally, Russia.
Despite these sanctions, China will soon – within the next 3 to 4 years, if not before – surpass the US economy. In fact, when measured according to the only real economic indicators, namely the PPP-factor (Purchasing Power Parity – meaning the value of goods a currency may purchase), China has surpassed the United States already several years ago.
China is a supply chain of vital interim production and / or end-use production parts, the west needs to make its consumer goods work, and consumers happy. Russia, on the other hand, supplies most raw materials available on her vast territory to produce these goods the west covets.
Both China and Russia are economically and strategically crucial for the west. Thy are also close allies. They represent a threat to western supremacy. The west does not tolerate this, as domination is in the west’s genes. Just look back at thousand years of western colonies in the Global South.
Instead of seeking cooperation agreements with these vital Should-Be Partners, the west seeks to dominate and annihilate them, with sanctions and with physical warfare. The west’s top war-institution, NATO, doesn’t miss a beat to threaten and attempt to intimidate Russia and China – by encroaching on the borders of these two allies, as well as by playing out their military might in close-to-their borders armed maneuvers. No wonder, China has recently joined Russia in opposing further NATO expansion, as the two countries move closer together in the face of Western pressure.

Now comes the Ukraine war with Russia, of which NATO expansion is just one reason. By now most of the world know – even the mainstream doesn’t make a secret of it anymore – that then US Secretary of State James Baker III, and Washington’s European allies promised at the capitulation of the Soviet Union in 1991, then Soviet / Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev, not to move NATO an inch further east of Berlin.
This was a promise made in return for allowing Germany to re-unite with East Germany and to integrate East Berlin into West Berlin, remaking the combined city of Berlin again Germany’s capital.
As we all know, this promise has been broken miserably. In 1991 NATO counted 16 member countries, of which 2 in the Americas (the US and Canada) and 14 in Europe. Today, some 30 years later, NATO counts 30 members. All of the 14 new ones are in Europe, many moving ever closer to the borders of Russia. Ukraine was the next NATO candidate. This, Russia could not tolerate.
Just imagine, Russia or China were to build military bases in Mexico or Central America – how the US would react. We have a livid example of the 1961 Bay of Pigs crisis, when then US President JFK and Russian President Nikita Khrushchev avoided a potentially all-destructive nuclear war, through negotiations in a Vienna meeting.
President Putin’s worries today are more than understandable – and they explain partially his intervention in Ukraine. This is not justifying a war by any means, but partially explaining Russia’s reaction.
Connecting the Dots to the Shanghai Lockdown
However, possibly an even more important reason than the NATO threat for President Putin’s intervention in Ukraine are the 20 to 30 war-type (grade 3) US-funded bio-labs in Ukraine. They were built during the past 20-some years, most of them after the western-instigated Maidan Coup in February 2014 which led to the current state of affairs with Ukraine, and between Ukraine and Russia.
For reasons of national security, Russia has to control and possibly destroy these deadly labs. To do so, an intervention was necessary. The timing of the western aggressions to trigger the Russian intervention, especially the Azov-Nazi battalions’ killings of civilians in the separatist Donbas region, is not a coincidence. In 8 years since the Maidan Coup, 14,000 civilian deaths, of which about a third are children, were recorded. It fits the narrative of the WEF’s Global Reset which aims at global domination of the total world population, all of the 193 UN member countries, through many means.
This is all part of the infamous UN Agenda 2030. The beginning was the false Covid-war of fear, lowering peoples’ immune system and willingness to resist; thus, leading them like a heard of sheep to the so-called vaxx-chambers, where they were injected with what the lie-narrative calls anti-covid-19 vaccines, when in reality they are mRNA – DNA-modifying – test jabs.
Different vials of western produced vaxxes contain different bio-chemical compositions, including graphene oxide to eventually facilitate electro-magnetic brain manipulations – coinciding with Klaus Schwab’s dream of the 4th Industrial Revolution where ultimately the remaining surviving world would be fully digitized.
According to Mike Yeadon, former Vice President and Chief of Science of Pfizer, these fake vaxxes further reduce humans’ immune system. The first jab by about 30%, the second by another 30% and the third jab, the so-called booster, by another 20%. That leaves about 20% of men and women’s auto-immune system intact. In other words, within one to three years of being vaccinated people could die from a variety of diseases, including aggressive cancers and different types of heart ailments which would be difficult to trace back to the vaxxes. As examples see this, Covid jabs to sterilize women and this Covid jabs to include HIV ingredients.
What if the 4th and 5th and-so-on “boosters” – all programmed, will be let loose and imposed on humanity within the coming 7 or 8 years to completion of UN Agenda 2030?
In addition, the constant western media-indoctrinated vaxx-narrative leaves many people – today still a majority – in a state of cognitive dissonance; meaning, they cannot admit to themselves having been lied to by their government which they purportedly elected and paid with their taxes to protect them. Such betrayal is too much to believe and admit to themselves. The dark Cabal behind this plan and behind the tyrannical UN Agenda 2030 knows that. That makes it all the more difficult to waking people up – and bringing them into a solidarity opposition.
Back to the Ukraine Virus Labs
These Grade-3 war-type bio-labs are capable of producing genome-specific viruses that can be directed to attack different Russian genomes and Chinese-DNA people, as well as others, if programmed accordingly. Numerous such tests of tailor-made viruses have been carried out during the last two to three decades. Not least the Ebola Outbreak in West Africa (2014-2016), affecting mainly Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, the epicenter of the outbreak. Over the duration of this Ebola epidemic, there were 28,616 suspected, probable, and confirmed cases from these three countries and 11,310 deaths, leading to a horrendous death-to-case rate of some 40% – see this. Compare this to the so-called Covid-19 death rate of about 0.07 to 0.1%; a flu-like incidence.
Who knows whether a genome-targeted Ebola or any other deadly virus is or was being lab-produced in one of the US-funded bio-labs – that Russian forces “intervened” to destroy for the sake of humanity?
There is of course no assurance that none of such deadly, population decimating bio-war germs have “escaped” or been target-released before the Russian intervention – in line with the Great Reset and Bill Gates predicted new and much more dangerous epidemic outbreak.
A similar warning about a possible Marburg outbreak (internal bleeding similar to Ebola) was made earlier this year by French Prime Minister, Jean Castex, when he warned that the French elections in early April 2022 may have to be postponed… it did not happen, so far. But who knows, whether and when such an outbreak may occur….
And who would be the prime targets of such viruses? – China and Russia?
While there is no concrete evidence of a biological attack, perhaps China’s “zero covid tolerance” – and the full lock-down of Shanghai – is now better understood?
We, the people, in solidarity with each other, within and with all nations, must do whatever we can to bring down this “dark agenda” and bring on the Light, even if it requires temporary sacrifice. – In the end, be sure, Light conquers darkness.
