"Our students and their families in the Chinese city of Wuhan are now on their way to the airport, and we thank our ambassador and consul in Beijing for their efforts," the Iraqi minister said in a tweet on Twitter. محمد علي الحكيم✔@maalhakim طلابنا وعوائلهم في مدينة ووهان الصينية في طريقهم الآن إلى المطار ونقدم شكرنا للسفير والقنصل في بكين على جهودهم 398 5:17 AM - Feb 4, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 110 people are talking about this And Iraqis stuck in the Chinese city of Wuhan have called on the authorities in Baghdad to evacuate them from the epicenter of the new Corona virus, as they live in difficult conditions that isolate them from the world amid an increased risk of infection. He appealed to these government to return them to the country, noting that there are a number of families that include children who need transportation from the city, which has been quarantined. They added that they suffer in light of the difficult situation in the city, as there are no supplies in the markets, no transportation, and even the existing hospitals are crowded with Chinese citizens and the sick. They accused the Iraqi embassy in China of "repudiation" of the government's promises to evacuate them, just as many countries have done towards their citizens. They feared what the city is experiencing of a rise in the number of infected and dead due to the emerging Corona virus. Several countries had announced the evacuation of their nationals from Wuhan, including Jordan and Morocco, as the authorities of those countries had evacuated dozens of students studying in the city. The Iraqi student, Noureddine Al-Mashayekhi, had spoken to Al-Hurra TV about the conditions of life in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which is considered the epicenter of the “Corona virus”. Al-Mashayekhi, who is studying medicine at the University of Khawajong, pointed out that there is no transportation in Wuhan and everything is closed, and even the airport and the metro are not working. He pointed out that obtaining food and supplies has become very difficult in the city. The World Health Organization announced that the level of risk in relation to the Coronavirus is very high, as out of every 100 infected people there are 4 deaths. The number of confirmed deaths from the emerging coronavirus has risen to 304 all in China, and the number of confirmed infections has risen to more than 13,000, in more than 27 countries around the world. https://www.alhurra.com/a/الخارجية-العراقية-طلابنا-وعائلاتهم-في-طريقهم-من-ووهان-الصينية-إلى-المطار/532352.html

Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China's biowarfare program Hospital staff wash the emergency entrance of Wuhan Medical Treatment Center, where some infected with a new virus are being treated, in Wuhan, China, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2020. The number of cases of a new coronavirus from Wuhan has risen ... more > Print By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Sunday, January 26, 2020 The deadly animal-borne coronavirus spreading globally may have originated in a laboratory in the city of Wuhan linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, said an Israeli biological warfare analyst. Radio Free Asia last week rebroadcast a Wuhan television report from 2015 showing China’s most advanced virus research laboratory, known the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The laboratory is the only declared site in China capable of working with deadly viruses. Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese biological warfare, said the institute is linked to Beijing’s covert bio-weapons program. TOP STORIES Democrat bungling helped shut down impeachment trial, Republicans say Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China's biowarfare program Jay-Z, Beyonce stay seated as others stand during Super Bowl national anthem: report “Certain laboratories in the institute have probably been engaged, in terms of research and development, in Chinese [biological weapons], at least collaterally, yet not as a principal facility of the Chinese BW alignment,” Mr. Shoham told The Washington Times. Work on biological weapons is conducted as part of dual civilian-military research and is “definitely covert,” he said in an email. Mr. Shoham holds a doctorate in medical microbiology. From 1970 to 1991, he was a senior analyst with Israeli military intelligence for biological and chemical warfare in the Middle East and worldwide. He held the rank of lieutenant colonel. China has denied having any offensive biological weapons, but a State Department report last year revealed suspicions of covert biological warfare work. A Chinese Embassy spokesman did not return an email seeking comment. Chinese authorities said they do not know the origin of the coronavirus, which has killed at least 80 and infected thousands. Gao Fu, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told state-controlled media that initial signs indicated the virus originated from wild animals sold at a seafood market in Wuhan. One ominous sign, said a U.S. official, is that false rumors circulating on the Chinese internet claim the virus is part of a U.S. conspiracy to spread germ weapons. That could indicate China is preparing propaganda outlets to counter any charges that the new coronavirus escaped from one of Wuhan’s civilian or defense research laboratories. The World Health Organization is calling the microbe novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV. At a meeting Thursday in Geneva, the organization stopped short of declaring a public health emergency of international concern. China has deployed military forces to Wuhan to halt all travel out of the city of 11 million people in an effort to contain the outbreak of the virus, which causes pneumonialike symptoms. The Wuhan institute has studied coronaviruses including the strain that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis and dengue. Researchers at the institute also have studied the germ that causes anthrax, a biological agent once developed in Russia. “Coronaviruses [particularly SARS] have been studied in the institute and are probably held therein,” Mr. Shoham said. “SARS is included within the Chinese BW program, at large, and is dealt with in several pertinent facilities.” It is not known whether the institute’s coronaviruses are specifically included in China’s biological weapons program but it is possible, he said. Asked whether the new coronavirus may have leaked, Mr. Shoham said: “In principle, outward virus infiltration might take place either as leakage or as an indoor unnoticed infection of a person that normally went out of the concerned facility. This could have been the case with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but so far there isn’t evidence or indication for such incident.” After researchers sequence the genome of the new coronavirus, they might be able to determine or suggest its origin or source. Biological weapons convention Mr. Shoham, now with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University in Israel, said the virology institute is the only declared site in China known as P4 for pathogen level 4. That status indicates the institute uses the strictest safety standards to prevent the spread of the most dangerous and exotic microbes being studied. The former Israeli military intelligence doctor also said suspicions were raised about the Wuhan Institute of Virology when a group of Chinese virologists working in Canada improperly sent to China samples of what he described as some of the deadliest viruses on earth, including the Ebola virus. In a July article in the journal Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses, Mr. Shoham said the Wuhan institute was one of four Chinese laboratories engaged in some aspects of biological weapons development. He said the secure Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory at the institute was engaged in research on the Ebola, Nipah and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses. The Wuhan virology institute is under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but certain laboratories within it “have linkage with the PLA or BW-related elements within the Chinese defense establishment,” he said. In 1993, China declared a second facility, the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, as one of eight biological warfare research facilities covered by the Biological Weapons Convention, which China joined in 1985. The Wuhan Institute of Biological Products is a civilian facility but is linked to the Chinese defense establishment. Mr. Shoham said it is thought to be involved in the Chinese Biological Weapons Convention program. China’s vaccine against SARS is probably produced there. “This means the SARS virus is held and propagated there, but it is not a new coronavirus unless the wild type has been modified, which is not known and cannot be speculated at the moment,” he said. The annual State Department report on arms treaty compliance stated last year that China engaged in activities that could support biological warfare. “Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC,” said the report, adding that the United States suspects China failed to eliminate its biological warfare program as required by the treaty. “The United States has compliance concerns with respect to Chinese military medical institutions’ toxin research and development because of the potential dual-use applications and their potential as a biological threat,” the report said. The biosafety lab is about 20 miles from the Hunan Seafood Market, which reports from China say may have been the origin point of the virus. Rutgers University microbiologist Richard Ebright told London’s Daily Mail that “at this point there’s no reason to harbor suspicions” that the lab may be linked to the virus outbreak. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-link-china-biowarfare-program-possible/

Dr. Francis Boyle Creator Of BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon SOURCE: GREAT GAME INDIA In an explosive interview Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act has given a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it. Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. In an exclusive interview given to Geopolitics and Empire, Dr. Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it. The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring. Dr. Boyle also touches upon GreatGameIndia‘s exclusive report Coronavirus Bioweapon – where we reported in detail how Chinese Biowarfare agents working at the Canadian lab in Winnipeg were involved in the smuggling of Coronavirus to Wuhan’s lab from where it is believed to have been leaked. Dr. Boyle’s position is in stark contrast to the mainstream media’s narrative of the virus being originated from the seafood market, which is increasingly being questioned by many experts. Recently, American Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas also dismantled the mainstream media’s claim on Thursday that pinned the coronavirus outbreak on a market selling dead and live animals. In a video accompanying his post, Cotton explained that the Wuhan wet market (which Cotton incorrectly referred to as a seafood market) has been shown by experts to not be the source of the deadly contagion. Cotton referenced a Lancet study which showed that many of the first cases of the novel coronavirus, including patient zero, had no connection to the wet market — devastatingly undermining mainstream media’s claim. “As one epidemiologist said: ‘That virus went into the seafood market before it came out of the seafood market.’ We still don’t know where it originated,” Cotton said. “I would note that Wuhan also has China’s only bio-safety level four super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus.” Such concerns have also been raised by J.R. Nyquist, the well known author of the books “Origins of the Fourth World War” and “The Fool and His Enemy,” as well as co-author of “The New Tactics of Global War”. In his insightful article he published secret speechs given to high-level Communist Party cadres by Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian explaining a long-range plan for ensuring a Chinese national renaissance – the catalyst for which would be China’s secret plan to weaponiz viruses. Nyquist gave three different data points for making his case in analyzing Coronavirus. He writes: The third data point worth considering: the journal GreatGameIndia has published a piece titled “Coronavirus Bioweapon – How China Stole Coronavirus From Canada And Weaponized It.” The authors were clever enough to put Khan’s Virology Journal article together with news of a security breach by Chinese nationals at the Canadian (P4) National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, where the novel coronavirus was allegedly stored with other lethal organisms. Last May, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were called in to investigate; by late July the Chinese were kicked out of the facility. The chief Chinese scientist (Dr. Xiangguo Qiu) was allegedly making trips between Winnipeg and Wuhan. Here we have a plausible theory of the NCoV organism’s travels: first discovered in Saudi Arabia, then studied in Canada from whence it was stolen by a Chinese scientist and brought to Wuhan. Like the statement of Taiwan’s intelligence chief in 2008, the GreatGameIndia story has come under intensive attack. Whatever the truth, the fact of proximity and the unlikelihood of mutation must figure into our calculations. It’s highly probable that the 2019-nCoV organism is a weaponized version of the NCoV discovered by Saudi doctors in 2012. Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s narrative still maintains that the origin of the 2019 Coronavirus is the Wuhan Seafood Market. After GreatGameIndia published the story on Coronavirus Bioweapon – not only were our databse tinkered with and our reports blocked by Facebook on the flimsy reason that they could not find GreatGameIndia Facebook page, but the report itself was viciously attacked by Foreign Policy magazine, PolitiFact (known widely as Facebook’s propaganda arm) and BuzzFeedNews. It is not GreatGameIndia alone which is being viciously attacked. Zero Hedge, a popular alternate media blog was suspended by Twitter for publishing a story related to a study by Indian scientists finding 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus to be not naturally evolved, raising the possibility of it being created in a lab. Shockingly, the study itself came under intense online criticism by Social Media experts resulting in the scientists withdrawing the paper. idrw.org .Read more at India No 1 Defence News Website https://idrw.org/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/ . https://idrw.org/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/

The United Nations: ISIS and the crowd raped children in Iraq February 04, 2020 Child rape The United Nations condemned, on Monday, "grave violations" committed by "all parties" in Iraq, against children. A report submitted by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to the Security Council identified "ISIS, the Popular Mobilization, the Iraqi Army, the police forces, the Peshmerga, the Kurdistan National Defense Forces, Yazidi forces, and the international coalition", as parties that have committed violations against children in Iraq. The report covers the period from July 1, 2015 to July 31, 2019. The report indicated that more than 2,114 children were subjected to serious and confirmed violations in Iraq, including children who were subjected to murder, maiming, and rape. The report said that these figures are partial and represent only the numbers that have been reported and confirmed, indicating that the actual numbers may be much greater, especially as conditions such as death, or social stigma, may hinder reporting of violations. The report held ISIS responsible for the largest number of murders, recruitment, mutilation, and rape of girls, while the PMF was responsible for the largest percentage of rapes of boys, according to the report. According to the report, 1772 children were killed and maimed, 206 others were recruited, 86 were kidnapped and ten were raped. ISIS bears the bulk of the responsibility for killing and maiming 462 children, followed by the international coalition and the Iraqi security forces to cause the killing and maiming of 142 children, the Peshmerga are responsible for killing and maiming 34, and the crowd has 9 children and the Turkish forces have two children, while 162 children have been killed or maimed by remnants of wars from mines And other explosive devices. ISIS recruited 151 children, including 8 girls, most of whom participated in fighting or carrying out suicide operations, while the popular crowd recruited 70 children, most of whom participated in the fighting, and the Sunni tribal mob 42, the Kurdish People's Defense Forces 19, the Iraqi army and police 8, the Yazidi forces 5 and the Peshmerga were a child One. The report outlined the "training" activities in which children were involved by ISIS, and summer camps organized by the popular mobilization for "military education" and in which children participated. The report accused ISIS of being involved in eight confirmed cases of rape of children, including seven cases of rape of girls under the cover of forced marriage, and of one boy. The most beautiful report contains information on slave markets where children of both sexes were sold as slaves.

Iran to execute alleged spy who gave nuclear secrets to CIA Iran in the past has sentenced alleged American and Israeli spies to death. (File/Shutterstock) February 04, 202010:18 226 Two others accused of spying have each been sentenced to 15 years jail The Iranian authorities say the convicted man, Amir Rahimpour, will be executed ‘soon’ TEHRAN, Iran: Iran said Tuesday that its top court confirmed a death sentence for an Iranian man convicted of spying for the CIA, with state media alleging that he had shared details of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program with the American spy agency. Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili identified the purported spy as Amir Rahimpour and said he would be executed soon. Esmaili did not elaborate on what Rahimpour was accused of doing, nor on his age or background. State media did not immediately name Rahimpour’s lawyer. However, a report by the state-run IRNA news agency alleged that Rahimpour received money from the CIA to share details of Iran’s nuclear program. “While being in touch with the spy agency, he earned a lot of money as wages as he tried to deliver some information from Iran’s nuclear program to the American agency,” the IRNA report said. Rahimpour “had been identified and prosecuted and sentenced to death and recently, the country’s National Supreme Court confirmed the sentence and, God willing, he will be punishéd soon.” The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Esmaili said two other alleged spies for the CIA each received 15-year prison sentences — 10 years for spying and five years for acting against national security charges. Esmaili did not name those arrested, only saying they worked in the “charitable field,” without elaborating. Iran in the past has sentenced alleged American and Israeli spies to death. The last such spy executed was Shahram Amiri, who defected to the US at the height of Western efforts to thwart Iran’s nuclear program. When he returned in 2010, he was welcomed with flowers by government leaders and even went on the Iranian talk-show circuit. Then he mysteriously disappeared. He was hanged in August 2016, the same week that Tehran executed a group of militants and a year after Iran agreed to a landmark accord to limit uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Tensions remain high between Iran and the US since President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal. A US drone strike in January killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad, a targeted killing that prompted Tehran to launch a retaliatory ballistic missile strike on Iraqi bases housing American troops. Before the deal, a computer virus believed to be designed by the US and Israel destroyed Iranian centrifuges. Meanwhile, Iranian nuclear scientists were targeted in a series of assassinations. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1622701/middle-east

Iraqi protesters face off against cleric Moqtada Sadr’s followers Students took to the streets there as well to insist on keeping up their protests. (File/AFP) AFP February 04, 202010:02 91 The cleric Sadr endorsed new PM Allawi while other protesters rejected him In Diwaniyah the rift escalated into a fistfight between anti-regime demonstrators and Sadr backers DIWANIYAH: Anti-government demonstrators faced off against followers of influential cleric Moqtada Sadr in protest squares across Iraq Tuesday, a day after one demonstrator was killed in a clash between the two sides. Sadr, an enigmatic militiaman-turned-politician, backed the anti-government rallies when they erupted in October but has split with other demonstrators over the nomination of Mohammad Allawi as prime minister. The cleric endorsed Allawi while other protesters rejected him, saying he was too close to the ruling elite they had been demonstrating against for four months. In the southern city of Diwaniyah on Tuesday, the rift escalated into a fistfight between young anti-regime demonstrators and Sadr backers, recognizable by their signature blue head caps, an AFP correspondent said. Police intervened to separate the two camps but the young protesters broke into chants against Sadr, Iraqi authorities as well as Iran, accused by demonstrators of backing the government's crackdown against them. Also in Diwaniyah, security forces could be seen outside schools and government offices in an attempt to ensure they reopened fully after sit-ins had forced them to shut. It came after the interior ministry late Monday said it had ordered reinforcements to schools, and a few students could be seen trickling in the following morning. Hundreds of students refused to go back to class, however, marching through the main anti-government protest camp with Iraqi flags and a banner that read, “Protest March for Diwaniyah High Schools.” In Nasiriyah, too, all schools had reopened after police deployed, according to the education directorate's press chief Halim al-Hossayni. But students took to the streets there as well to insist on keeping up their protests. “We’re determined to pursue our peaceful movement in Habbubi square, because we want a homeland free of corruption and sectarian people,” said student Hamad Ali. Tensions have been high in protest squares in recent days between youths furious at Allawi's nomination and Sadrists. On Monday, a demonstrator was stabbed to death and three others wounded after men in blue caps attacked an anti-regime rally, medics and security sources said. Allawi, 65, was nominated on February 1 after two months of political stalemate over who would replace ex-premier Adel Abdel Mahdi, who resigned in December. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1622706/middle-east

Newspaper: Two former rivals lead the opposition against Allawi 12:40 - 02/02/2020 0 Information / Baghdad .. The Lebanese newspaper "Al-Akhbar" confirmed on Tuesday that the head of the State of Law coalition Nuri al-Maliki and the president of the National Alliance Iyad Allawi are leading the opposition against the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi. And the newspaper said in a report that it had seen, “The Information”, that “once the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, announced the nomination of Muhammad Tawfiq Alawi to the Prime Minister, succeeding Adel Abdul Mahdi, until the reactions rejecting this nomination were received by some political blocs and demonstrators, who considered Assigning Allawi to beat their demands, which is a position that has been harmonized with the "Islamic Dawa Party" (with its wings) under the leadership of Nuri al-Maliki, who expressed reservations about the nomination, stressing that it has nothing to do with the election of any personality that does not conform to the specifications agreed upon by the Iraqis. The newspaper pointed out that "it seemed remarkable the absence of the Speaker of Parliament, Muhammad Al-Halbousi, in addition to some personalities and political leaders, from the commissioning ceremony, in contrast to what witnessed the ceremony of naming Abdul-Mahdi, which suggested the presence of intersections between those parties, except for the" Salvation and Development Front "led by Osama Al-Nujaifi, who hastened to bless Alawi's nomination, hoping that he would implement laws and procedures that are consistent with the demands of the popular movement. The newspaper pointed out that "doubts have emerged about the possibility of passing Alawi's ministerial team in Parliament, in light of the presence of opposition led by Maliki and with him the leader of the National List, Iyad Allawi." On the other hand, it does not seem inevitable that the designated president will be able to meet the demands of the "consensus" that produced his name, foremost of which is to proceed with the trade agreement signed between China and Iraq, implement the decision to remove American forces from the country, complete the 2020 budget, and implement the demands of the demonstrators.

I watched this video last night with my mouth wide open in the shock that this could actually be a possibility. China has stolen intelectual property for years but if they actually stole this virus from Canada and somehow accidently leaked it from a WHO BSL-4 FACILITY in Wuhan, then tried to cover it up is unforgivable!

Creator Of US BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon by Tyler Durden Mon, 02/03/2020 - 17:25 5 SHARES TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint Via GreatGameIndia.com, In an explosive interview Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act has given a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it. Dr. Francis Boyle Creator Of BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. In an exclusive interview given to Geopolitics and Empire, Dr. Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it. The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring. Dr. Boyle also touches upon GreatGameIndia‘s exclusive report Coronavirus Bioweapon – where we reported in detail how Chinese Biowarfare agents working at the Canadian lab in Winnipeg were involved in the smuggling of Coronavirus to Wuhan’s lab from where it is believed to have been leaked. Watch Dr. Francis Boyle’s interview with Geopolitics and Empire below: Dr. Boyle’s position is in stark contrast to the mainstream media’s narrative of the virus being originated from the seafood market, which is increasingly being questioned by many experts. Recently, American Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas also dismantled the mainstream media’s claim on Thursday that pinned the coronavirus outbreak on a market selling dead and live animals. In a video accompanying his post, Cotton explained that the Wuhan wet market (which Cotton incorrectly referred to as a seafood market) has been shown by experts to not be the source of the deadly contagion. Cotton referenced a Lancet study which showed that many of the first cases of the novel coronavirus, including patient zero, had no connection to the wet market — devastatingly undermining mainstream media’s claim. Such concerns have also been raised by J.R. Nyquist, the well known author of the books “Origins of the Fourth World War” and “The Fool and His Enemy,” as well as co-author of “The New Tactics of Global War”. In his insightful article he published secret speechs given to high-level Communist Party cadres by Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian explaining a long-range plan for ensuring a Chinese national renaissance – the catalyst for which would be China’s secret plan to weaponiz viruses. Nyquist gave three different data points for making his case in analyzing Coronavirus. He writes: Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s narrative still maintains that the origin of the 2019 Coronavirus is the Wuhan Seafood Market. After GreatGameIndia published the story on Coronavirus Bioweapon – not only were our databse tinkered with and our reports blocked by Facebook on the flimsy reason that they could not find GreatGameIndia Facebook page, but the report itself was viciously attacked by Foreign Policy magazine, PolitiFact (known widely as Facebook’s propaganda arm) and BuzzFeedNews. https://www.zerohedge.com/health/creator-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-biological-warfare-weapon NEVER MISS THE NEWS THAT MATTERS MOST ZEROHEDGE DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOX Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories. It is not GreatGameIndia alone which is being viciously attacked. Zero Hedge, a popular alternate media blog was suspended by Twitter for publishing a story related to a study by Indian scientists finding 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus to be not naturally evolved, raising the possibility of it being created in a lab. Shockingly, the study itself came under intense online criticism by Social Media experts resulting in the scientists withdrawing the paper. In retaliation India has launched a full-scale investigation against China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Indian government has ordered an inquiry into a study conducted in the Northeastern state of Nagaland (close to China) by researchers from the U.S., China and India on bats and humans carrying antibodies to deadly viruses like Ebola. The study came under the scanner as two of the 12 researchers belonged to the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Department of Emerging Infectious Diseases, and it was funded by the United States Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The study, conducted by scientists of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in the U.S. and the Duke-National University in Singapore, is now being investigated for how the scientists were allowed to access live samples of bats and bat hunters (humans) without due permissions. The results of the study were published in October last year in the PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases journal, originally established by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As the author J.R. Nyquist puts it:
