Following the Moves and Counter-Moves On the GeoStrategic Chess Board

Background:

In the course of discovering and examining the moves and counter-moves on the geo-strategic chess board, the American National Service website has been providing its readers with a reality-based narrative versus the intentionally fraudulent narrative provided by a concealed, centuries-old, arch- criminal global cabal headquartered in the City of London and controlled by a clique of lower-order, sub-human, deadly and depraved foreign dynastic banking families who plunder the majority of all the nation-states and their populations.  Long ago, this global cabal built a psychological warfare and mass mind-control system it employs to carry out its deadly global operations, the components of which are disguised as media, education, and entertainment to serve the public.

Long ago, this global cabal built satanic international pedophile rings to entrap and blackmail all its members to insure organizational discipline and strict obedience to the central goal of the cabal, to wit:  the development of a single world government to guide a New World Order under its sole control and undertake a 90% reduction of the global population.

Essentially, the global public, including the population of the United States of America, is the target of a deadly global pestilence that must be eradicated.  The members of this predatory cabal do not qualify to be classified as human beings; they are like deadly termites eating away at the civilized foundations of our human race.

Accordingly, nationalist groups across the world began to take form to eradicate the criminal global cabal, including the loyal part of the U.S. military and the loyal part of the U.S. intelligence agencies, working together with Donald J. Trump and his civilian supporters that culminated with the election of Trump as President of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016.

Tell #15:  On May 12th, 2020, Rush Limbaugh Predicts Maximum Turmoil Over Next Four Months—May to September–05/15/2020 to 09/15/2020

Limbaugh: Next Four Months Will Be War Like You’ve Never Seen, Dems Will Try To Keep Economy Shut Down

Posted By Ian Schwartz
Rush Limbaugh said these next four months are going to be a “veritable war” like we have not seen between Democrats and President Trump. On the Tuesday broadcast of his nationally-syndicated radio program, Limbaugh said Democrats will do their best to keep the economy shut down, expand that shutdown, and to blow up their own country’s jobs to ensure a Trump loss in November.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: I’ll tell you something else that’s starting to send red flags up. You probably have already noticed this. All these blue state governors that want to keep their states locked down, it’s purely political. But what are they depending on? They’re depending on the red states — the red states that are opening up! The red states are gonna get the economy kickstarted.

The red states are gonna create capital and money to transfer to pay these people their stupid welfare costs (and whatever else they’re using to bleed this country dry), while their population sits home, doesn’t work, waits for the federal check to show up — and they sit around and they trash the supposedly reckless red states. I cannot tell you how this irritates me.

The red state governors — like Kemp in Georgia and any number of these people — are doing the right thing. They’re trying to get their people back to work, for all the right common-sensical human and humane reasons — to protect lives — to protect livelihoods, the United States economy, the state economy. And then you go to a blue state, and it’s the exact opposite.

They shut down and lock down, and they want to remain locked down until July or August or whatever — and nothing’s gonna open and nothing is gonna happen. And they fully expect the red states to sit there and essentially pay for it. Folks, I’m gonna tell you, these next four months are gonna be a veritable war like we have not seen.

The American left and the Democrat Party is going to do its best to keep this economy shut down, to extend and expand that shutdown — and blow up their own country’s jobs — just to ensure that Trump loses. But here’s the thing about that. Let’s do a little hypothetical. Let’s say this continues as it is, and let’s say that more and more red states open up and the economy in these states starts to return and revive.

The blue states stay locked down. These are populous places — New York, Massachusetts, California. So they stay locked down all for the express purpose of canceling out the increase created by the red states. The economic activity that will happen from the red states going back to work, the blue state governors are gonna try to cancel it out by keeping their people at home.

They’re gonna wreck the economy. Their objective is to wreck the economy and get rid of Trump. So let’s say that… Well, hard as it is to imagine, let’s say they succeed. Let’s imagine they do this. They keep the economy in such bad shape that Trump is sent packing. What do they expect when that’s all over? Do they expect us just to forget it?

They expect all these red state people to say, “Oh, well, nice fair fight, you guys! Great to see you. We’ll see you the next election,” put all of it aside, and try to all just get along again? What do they expect is gonna happen with this effort of theirs to ruin the U.S. economy? Do they think people are just gonna sit by and let it happen?

And I’m telling you that they do. These are the same people that pass tax increases on the rich, and then end up shocked that the rich find a way around it. So here they’re gonna be engaged, these blue state governors and entire Democrat Party — and, by the way, we predicted this here. We predicted that it wouldn’t be long before the Democrats would start blaming Trump for the rotten economy because of the way he’s handled the virus.

And right on schedule, they’re now calling Trump Herbert Hoover. Have you noticed that, Mr. Snerdley? They’re all… Ed Markey, they’re all over the place. Trump is Herbert Hoover. Herbert Hoover was the Republican president at the time of the Depression. There’s no comparison. Unfortunately, because of the lack education of this country, nobody knows who Herbert Hoover is, particularly on the left.

But what do they expect to happen? They expect us to just watch them try to literally destroy this country’s economy and do nothing about it? They just expect us to just watch it and when the election’s over, wave at ’em and say, “Hey, guys, nice try!” What do they expect to happen here? They think they can ruin the economy.

They think they can go out and even try to ruin the economy — and at the end of it, we’re all just gonna be brothers and sisters and say, “Okay. Let’s now work together to heal.” I can’t believe that that’ll work, but time will tell.

Tell #14:  Open Memorandum From Sidney Powell To Barack Obama Re Flynn Case–05/13/2020

 

 

Open Memorandum

To: Barack Hussein Obama
From: Sidney Powell
www.SidneyPowell.com

Date: May 13, 2020

Re: Your Failure to Find Precedent for Flynn Dismissal

Regarding the decision of the Department of Justice to dismiss charges against General Flynn, in your recent call with your alumni, you expressed great concern: “there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.”

Here is some help—if truth and precedent represent your true concern. Your statement is entirely false. However, it does explain the damage to the Rule of Law throughout your administration.

First, General Flynn was not charged with perjury—which requires a material false statement made under oath with intent to deceive.1 A perjury prosecution would have been appropriate and the Rule of Law applied if the Justice Department prosecuted your former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for his multiple lies under oath in an investigation of a leak only he knew he caused.

McCabe lied under oath in fully recorded and transcribed interviews with the Inspector General for the DOJ. He was informed of the purpose of the interview, and he had had the benefit of counsel. He knew he was the leaker. McCabe even lied about lying. He lied to his own agents—which sent them on a “wild-goose-chase”—thereby making his lies “material” and an obstruction of justice. Yet, remarkably, Attorney General Barr declined to prosecute McCabe for these offenses.

Applying the Rule of Law, after declining McCabe’s perjury prosecution, required the Justice Department to dismiss the prosecution of General Flynn who was not warned, not under oath, had no counsel, and whose statements were not only not recorded, but were created as false by FBI agents who falsified the 302.

Second, it would seem your “wingman” Eric Holder is missing a step these days at Covington & Burling LLP. Indelibly marked in his memory (and one might think, yours) should be his Motion to Dismiss the multi-count jury verdict of guilty and the entire case against former United States Senator Ted Stevens. Within weeks of Mr. Holder becoming Attorney General, he moved to dismiss the Stevens prosecution in the interest of justice for the same reasons the Justice Department did against General Flynn—egregious misconduct by prosecutors who hid exculpatory evidence and concocted purported crimes.

As horrifying as the facts of the Stevens case were, they pale in comparison to the targeted setup, framing, and prosecution of a newly elected President’s National Security Advisor and the shocking facts that surround it. This case was an assault on the heart of liberty— our cherished system of self-government, the right of citizens to choose their President, and the hallowed peaceful transition of power.

Third, the inability of anyone in your alumni association to find “anybody who has been charged [with anything] just getting off scot-free” would be laughable were it not so pathetic.

Many of your alum feature prominently in the non-fiction legal thriller published in 2014: Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. A national best- seller, it focusses on the egregious prosecutorial misconduct of your longest serving White House Counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler; your counter-terrorism advisor Lisa Monaco; Loretta Lynch’s DAG for the Criminal Division Leslie Caldwell; and Mueller protégé Andrew Weissmann. While they worked as federal prosecutors on the Enron Task Force—under the purported supervision of Christopher Wray—they destroyed Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs; sent four Merrill Lynch executives to prison on an indictment that criminalized an innocent business transaction while they hid the evidence that showed those defendants were innocent for six years. Both cases were reversed on appeal for their over-criminalization and misconduct. Indeed, Andersen was reversed by a unanimous Supreme Court.

Fourth, even if your many alumni don’t remember multiple cases that had to be reversed or dismissed for their own misconduct, Judge Emmet Sullivan should remember dismissing the corrupted case against Ted Stevens. Judge Sullivan is the judicial hero of Licensed to Lie. It is that case that caused Judge Sullivan to enter the strong Brady order the Mueller and D.C. career prosecutors violated repeatedly in the Flynn prosecution.

Fifth, there is precedent for guilty pleas being vacated. Your alumni Weissmann and Ruemmler are no strangers to such reversals. At least two guilty pleas they coerced by threats against defendants in Houston had to be thrown out—again for reasons like those here. The defendants “got off scot-free” because—like General Flynn—your alumni had concocted the charges and terrorized the defendants into pleading guilty to “offenses” that were not crimes. Andersen partner David Duncan even testified for the government against Andersen in its trial, but his plea had to be vacated. Enron Broadband defendant Christopher Calger had his plea vacated. There are many others across the country.

Sixth, should further edification be necessary, see Why Innocent People Plead Guilty, written in 2014 by federal Judge Jed Rakoff (a Clinton appointee). Abusive prosecutors force innocent people to plead guilty with painful frequency. The Mueller special counsel operation led by Andrew Weissmann and Weissmann “wannabes” specializes in prosecutorial terrorist tactics repulsive to everything “justice” is supposed to mean. These tactics are designed to intimidate their targets into pleading guilty—while punishing them and their families with the process itself and financial ruin.

Most important, General Flynn was honest with the FBI agents. They knew he was—and briefed that to McCabe and others three different times. At McCabe’s directions, Agent Strzok and McCabe’s “Special Counsel” Lisa Page, altered the 302 to create statements Weissmann, Mueller, Van Grack, and Zainab Ahmad could assert were false. Only the FBI agents lied—and falsified documents. The crimes are theirs alone.

Seventh, the D.C. circuit in which you reside vacated a Section 1001 case for a legal failure much less egregious than those in General Flynn’s case. United States v. Safavian, 528 F.3d 957 (D.C. Cir. 2008). Safavian sought advice from his agency’s ethics board and did not give them all the relevant info. The jury convicted him on the theory it was a 1001 violation to conceal the information from the government ethics board. The court disagreed: “As Safavian argues and as the government agrees, there must be a legal duty to disclose in order for there to be a concealment offense in violation of § 1001(a)(1), yet the government failed to identify a legal disclosure duty except by reference to vague standards of conduct for government employees.” General Flynn did not even know he was the subject of an investigation—and in truth, he was not. The only crimes here were by your alumni in the FBI, White House, intelligence community, and Justice Department.

These are just a few obvious and well-known examples to those paying any attention to criminal justice issues.

Finally, the “leaked” comments from your alumni call further evinces your obsession with destroying a distinguished veteran of the United States Army who has defended the Constitution and this country “from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” with the highest honor for thirty-three years. He and many others will continue to do so.


1As a “constitutional lawyer,” surely you recall that perjury (or false statements) also requires intent to deceive. In Bronston v. United States, 409 U.S. 352 (1973), the Supreme Court reversed a conviction of perjury. In Bronston, the defendant’s answer was a truthful statement, but not directly responsive to the question and ultimately misled federal authorities. The Court determined: “A jury should not be permitted to engage in conjecture whether an unresponsive answer, true and complete on its face, was intended to mislead or divert the examiner; the state of mind of the witness is relevant only to the extent that it bears on whether “he does not believe [his answer] to be true.” To hold otherwise would be to inject a new and confusing element into the adversary testimonial system we know.” Id. at 359. The FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn specifically noted that his answers were true or he believed his answers to be true—completely defeating criminal intent. Furthermore, General Flynn knew and remarked they had transcripts of his conversations.

Tell #13:  The Biggest Political Scandal Of Our Time—05/13/2020

John Daniel Davidson

By

When former president Barack Obama told supporters last week that the Justice Department’s decision to drop the case against former White House National Security Adviser Mike Flynn is a “threat to the rule of law,” he was relying wholly on the fiction, willingly propagated for years by a pliant media, that the Russia-Trump collusion probe launched by his administration was lawful and legitimate.

But of course it wasn’t. A string of recently released documents have confirmed that the entire Russia-Trump investigation, which eventually entrapped Flynn and forced then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, was an unprecedented abuse of power that amounted to organized effort by the Obama administration to nullify the results of the 2016 presidential election. It was in effect an attempted coup.

If you haven’t picked that up from the news media, it’s not your fault. Instead of grappling with the implications of newly released details about what Obama officials were doing to undermine the incoming Trump administration during the transition, the mainstream media have fixated on Trump’s use of the term “Obamagate,” dismissing it as a conspiracy theory.

A Brief History of the Flynn Case

This is to be expected. For years now the media have done everything they can to push the Trump-Russia collusion hoax—even after a years-long special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller turned up nothing—using the complexity of the scheme to hide the greatest political scandal of our time in plain sight.

A key aspect of that scheme was—and is—to make the case against Flynn appear legitimate. Flynn faced trumped-up charges that he misled FBI agents about conversations he had with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the weeks before Trump’s inauguration. (As the incoming national security advisor, Flynn was doubtless having conversations with numerous heads of state and ambassadors during this time, so there was nothing unusual about him talking to the Russian ambassador.)

The Obama administration already knew about the conversations with Kislyak because it had recordings of them thanks to a series of investigations it spun out of the Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign. Crossfire Hurricane, launched in the summer of 2016, was itself a bogus investigation based on the Steele dossier—an entirely fraudulent document riddled with Russian disinformation and paid for by the Democratic Party.

So why did the FBI want to interview Flynn ahead of Trump’s inauguration in January 2017? Top brass at the FBI weren’t exactly sure about their approach, but they knew they needed to get Flynn out of the way. As the bureau’s former head of counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, recorded in his notes, “What is our goal? Truth/Admission, or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

Apparently the Obama administration settled on trying to entrap him in a lie. The recent disclosure of an early January 2017 Oval Office meeting attended by Obama, vice president Joe Biden, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and FBI Director James Comey, confirms the administration’s plan to hide the Russia probe from the incoming Trump team—including Flynn.

The idea was to use the Kislyak calls as a pretext to keep the Flynn investigation open, even though there was no reason to do so. After months of spying on him, the FBI had found nothing to indicate Flynn was conspiring with the Russians.

As Rice wrote in an email to herself after the meeting, “President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”

The point was to keep the Flynn investigation open as a way for Obama holdovers like Comey, Yates, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to continue the Russia-Trump collusion probe even after Trump took office—and keep Flynn, Trump’s national security advisor, out of the loop. Since there was no reason to keep investigating Flynn, the Obama administration invented one: the preposterous notion that he intentionally misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with Kislyak and then lied about it to the FBI.

There’s no evidence this happened, but even if there were it wouldn’t matter. As the Justice Department explained in its decision to drop the Flynn case, the investigation of Flynn was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation.”

Later, top FBI and Justice Department officials gave the House Intelligence Committee different answers about why they were pursuing Flynn. Comey, McCabe, Yates, and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord all gave conflicting testimony about the “primary purpose” of the FBI’s interview with Flynn, ranging from the outlandish notion that he violated the Logan Act—a constitutionally dubious 1799 law forbidding unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments—to the concocted charge that he lied to the FBI, which even the agents that conducted the interview with him didn’t believe.

Here’s Why Americans Need to Understand the Flynn Case

The Flynn case is just one piece of a much larger story about how the Obama administration—with the full knowledge and support of both Obama and Biden—targeted incoming Trump officials in a failed attempt to cripple the new administration with allegations it had colluded with Moscow.

The complexity of their scheme, and the efforts to hide it and mislead the American people, are frustrating. The cast of characters—from high-ranking Obama administration officials to relative nobodies loosely associated with Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign—is long, as is the timeline of events. Details have come out slowly, in fits and starts, over the course of years. Following all the leaks and declassified transcripts and congressional hearings requires constant vigilance, and if you don’t keep up with it you can easily lose the thread.

That all works to the advantage of those who perpetrated this hoax, because it’s easy to get overwhelmed and tune it all out, or simply accept the corporate media’s deceptive reporting. But the ongoing revelations about the FBI’s targeting of Flynn can’t be ignored. They demand a full accounting. If ever there was a threat to the rule of law, it was the Obama administration’s abuse of power and its weaponization of intelligence agencies in an attempt to take down Trump.

However convoluted it might seem, pay attention to it. It’s the biggest political scandal of our time.

CCP Virus Outbreak Reveals ‘Lethal’ Threat of Chinese Communist Party: Alan Leong

April 13, 2020 Updated: April 14, 2020

With the world focused on the CCP virus pandemic, how is China’s communist regime taking advantage of this crisis to expand its grip on Hong Kong?

How exactly has Hong Kong managed to contain the CCP virus to relatively few cases?

How is the Chinese leadership’s encroachment on Hong Kong’s rule of law and freedoms a reflection of its global ambitions?

And what can we expect if the regime has its way?

In this episode, we sit down with Alan Leong, a longtime proponent of Hong Kong democracy and rule of law. The former head of the Hong Kong Bar Association, he also served on the Hong Kong Legislative Council for 12 years. In 2014, he helped lead the Umbrella Movement and currently serves as Chairman of the pro-democracy Civic Party.

Jan Jekielek: Alan Leong, so great to have you back on American Thought Leaders.

Alan Leong: My pleasure.

Mr. Jekielek: Alan, we spoke last December when I was in Hong Kong. You were arguing that the reality that Hong Kong faces with the Chinese Communist Party, is actually something the world needs to look at because they’re going to face that same reality. If they’re not facing it now, they’re going to face it sometime. And that really stuck with me. I want to dig into that because there’s been some examples of how the CCP is using the world’s focus on coronavirus to further encroach on Hong Kong freedoms and basic law. Before we jump into that, what’s the reality on the ground right now in Hong Kong?

Mr. Leong: Well, when we talked in December, I actually used the figurative speech that today’s Hong Kong would be liberal democracies tomorrow, and therefore, if you are thinking that you are just helping Hong Kong, that is not quite accurate because you are at the same time helping yourselves. I think this coronavirus saga is bringing that message home, cut and dried, to liberal democracies and their peoples. In the past, liberal democracies focused on the dollar sign by doing business in China, exploiting the huge market in China, but now they know that by such business dealings, they can easily be sacrificing lives. And of course, you know why because there had been this concealment of very relevant information by the CCP as to when this coronavirus first came into being and how it had spread, etc. So, I think this virus is in a way awakening a lot of people in liberal democracies who had not done so before.

Coming back to your question as to what is on the ground in Hong Kong, in so far as this CCP virus is concerned, I think we are doing reasonably well, given the fact that our Chief Executive Carrie Lam had been very slow in closing the border between Hong Kong and the mainland. And there has consistently been an influx of mainlanders into Hong Kong. And of course, we were very anxious about this. So anxious that many of our doctors and nurses went on strike for five days, and what they demanded was for Carrie Lam to close the border between Hong Kong and the mainland so that the Hong Kong public health system would not collapse as a result of this huge influx of people who would be prone to carrying this virus with them. The strike of the medical personnel actually resulted in a partial closure of the border in the form of restrictions imposed on those coming into Hong Kong from the mainland, requiring them to undergo a period of quarantine, etc.

So, if you ask me why Hong Kong is doing okay, given all the influx of mainlanders, I think I would give credit to the anti-extradition movement. I would also give credit to what happened in 2014 in the Umbrella Movement and the 79 days of occupation. Because from these huge people’s movements, and the response that we had gotten from the CCP and from the local administration, we learned this lesson, albeit a very hard way, that we can’t trust the CCP, we can’t trust the Hong Kong government, and we have to really do what we can as a matter of self-help. And therefore, we tried our very best to get supply of surgical masks. You may remember that there were about three weeks in Hong Kong, beginning about mid-January to early February, that you found long queues of Hong Kong people. Whenever they heard that a particular shop got some supplies of this surgical mask, they would queue up the night before. And so, we also try to make those alcohol wash ourselves because they were short in supply in the markets in Hong Kong, in January—hand rub, etc. And also, we did not follow the suggestion from Carrie Lam for us not to wear masks. We just listen to our experts—pandemic experts, doctors, etc. So, I think … the present situation that we are in is not as bad as it could have been, we owe it to these huge people’s movements and the lesson that we learned from them.

Mr. Jekielek: Taiwan is also doing model work around trying to deal with the pandemic. … They were in an unusual situation in that they didn’t even have access to the WHO information, which by all accounts, was basically fed directly from the CCP. Taiwan didn’t trust what the CCP was saying either. So, any country that did trust the CCP seems to have fared very, very poorly.

Mr. Leong: I think when you likened Hong Kong to Taiwan in how we are faring in this war against the CCP virus, you are making a very apt analogy. Taiwan is not a member of WHO and that is of course a blessing as it turns out, because Taiwan will not have to listen to Dr. Tedros. Dr. Tedros was saying and telling the world—I think America actually suffered as a result of trusting Dr. Tedros at the WHO—that it believed that this CCP virus was actually controllable and it would not spread like wildfire as it is now spreading. So, I think what is common between Hong Kong and Taiwan is that we did not trust the WHO, we did not trust the CCP for the information that they provided. Of course Hong Kong also experienced, about 20 years ago, the SARS epidemic. So, we are quite tuned to wearing surgical masks to protect ourselves and protect others; protect our neighbors. I think it is this mentality, and not trusting CCP, or the WHO, that put us in our present situation.

Mr. Jekielek: Recently, Dr. Tedros, the head of the World Health Organization, accused Taiwan of being racist towards his person. Actually, this idea of racism has been used by Chinese officials and spokespeople as well when American officials were saying that the virus originated in China. I’m wondering if you could speak to this.

Mr. Leong: Well, the talk about racism in the context of the coronavirus, to me, is really a red herring. It has directed attention in a wrong direction, and if we follow that direction, we are going off on a tangent. The CCP has a history of playing up nationalism whenever they are in deep trouble and this is a tactic that the CCP is used to deploying. And talking about Dr. Tedros, firstly, it has been found out that all the attacks on him which apparently originated from Taiwan, had been created by mainland netizens. And secondly, I think Dr. Tedros missed the point. The world has been complaining that the WHO has become the China Health Organization by concealing very material and relevant information which, if the world had known in a timely manner, could have prevented over 90% of the spread of the virus. Now, this is really the point that Dr. Tedros ought to be addressing. But I know why he was playing up this racism card—because he doesn’t have an answer to what should always have been the question.

Mr. Jekielek: A RTHK reporter did the interview with WHO official which went viral subsequently because the official wasn’t going to speak about Taiwan. But the [Hong Kong] administration is coming down on RTHK right now with respect to this. Can you speak to that?

Mr. Leong: Yes. In fact, I can generally describe the Hong Kong situation as follows: I think the CCP and its agent, namely Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive in Hong Kong, are exploiting the public health situation to do some very bad things. And there are a few of these bad things. For example, there are talks about making national security laws as soon as possible. You remember that they failed to do so in the year 2003. But now people are jumping at it and suggest that this may be time to do it.

Another thing is that they started arresting people for sedition, which is something that we lawyers see to be a crime that aims at silencing dissidents and the dissent. Also, there are talks about canceling, or at least postponing, the September legislative council elections, which of course is a very great matter because you’re taking away Hong Kongers’ right to vote, which is protected by the International Covenant—human rights and political rights. And also without this right to vote, you’re actually forcing people to use force or violence because this is the most civilized and rational way to manifest your political positions.

And the fourth matter on my list is of course the thing that you just mentioned. Radio Television Hong Kong, generally known as RTHK, is of course a public broadcaster in Hong Kong. It is a government department under the control of the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development. And we Hong Kong people have been watching RTHK for at least three to four decades, and we like in particular the way that the RTHK has put together programs that are satirical of the administration. We like the political satires that this public broadcaster has been producing. And there was this recent incident that a reporter of RTHK got herself this opportunity to interview online the Deputy Secretary-General of WHO. And the question asked by this female reporter to the Deputy Secretary-General was just, “Sir, would you consider Taiwan for membership of WHO,” and the Deputy Secretary-General suddenly cut the line as if there was a signal failure. And when he came back on, the reporter asked the question again, and he simply refused to meet it head on. So, that was the background.

And the policy secretary, Edward Yau, in charge of RTHK—that is, the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, this reporter’s boss, so to speak—suddenly came out in a high profile to allege that this reporter, by asking that question about Taiwan membership to be considered by WHO, is in fact going against and breaching the One China principle. Now, this, to me, is quite ridiculous. And there have been talks about the government coming down on this public broadcaster like tons of bricks, and obviously they do not like the way that RTHK has been putting together all these programs which were so popular that make the administration and the CCP most embarrassed. So, they are these few matters, it seems, the CCP and the Hong Kong administration are exploiting the public health issue in the form of the CCP virus attacking Hong Kong to do very bad things.

Mr. Jekielek: You’re basically saying, they’re not just attacking RTHK for the reporter’s suggestion that Taiwan might be independent, but they’re actually using this whole scenario as a hook to encroach on RTHK’s independence altogether. Am I reading that right?

Mr. Leong: Well, this reporter’s incident is not just a singular incident that suggests the administration is coming down on this public broadcaster. There are other things happening at the same time. For example, the administration was alleging that the RTHK in a political satire was ridiculing the police to such an extent that they misled the public into believing that the police was not doing their job properly. And by making this accusation, the administration actually asked the RTHK director to submit a report on the incident and kicked up a big fuss about it. And pro-Beijing and pro-government legislators in the Legislative Council were actually suggesting that perhaps they would cut the budget for RTHK in the coming financial year just to teach them a lesson. Now, all these things are happening at the same time, and this reporter who asked the question to the Deputy Secretary-General of WHO is only one of the few instances that we feel are instances that could bear witness to the administration going after RTHK.

Mr. Jekielek: That’s fascinating, and frankly, very disturbing. The other thing you mentioned was this example of using the accusation of “sedition.” I’m wondering if you could explain that a little bit.

Mr. Leong: During the anti-extradition law saga, there was a reporter from Indonesia reporting the movement in Hong Kong. And on one occasion, there was an encounter between this reporter from Indonesia and the riot police, and one of her eyes was actually blinded as a result of the police firing at her. And there was a democrat who was the chairman of one of the district councils in Hong Kong, who posted on her Facebook the picture of this police officer praised by people on the internet to be the culprit who actually had fired on the Indonesian journalist, causing one of her eyes to be blinded. And the police arrested her, arrested this democrat District Council chairman and investigated her for a possible offense of sedition.

Now, to all lawyers trained in the common law, we know that sedition is a political offense that first came into being, I think, in the 17th century when the British monarch was using this to silence the dissidents and any dissenting voices. So, it is an archaic offense, common law offense, that ought to have no place in modern-day Hong Kong when we are protected by the two International Covenants on Human Rights and also our own human rights ordinance. So, this proposed invocation of this archaic offense of sedition, again, is a move in the wrong direction. To us, it seems that the CCP and the Hong Kong administration are trying to really silence any dissenting voice. That eats into freedom of expression and freedom of speech. That is a great matter.

Mr. Jekielek: You actually mentioned that people are talking about reintroducing the National Security Law—it was Article 23 back in the day. This was what created the original mass protests in the first place because it would … remove the separation of the Hong Kong legal system from the mainland. Right now, there are people saying that should come back?

Mr. Leong: Yes. In fact, July 1, 2003 saw the first 500,000 people march on Hong Kong Island streets. … It started, what I would describe as, a social awakening of Hong Kong civil society. At that time, Hong Kong was under Tung Chee-hwa, our first chief executive, and the Secretary for Security was then Regina Ip, who of course is now a legislator and chairlady of the New People’s Party. And Article 23 of the Basic Law actually obliges Hong Kong to make national security laws to deal with grave offenses like treason, breach of state secret, sedition, etc. And of course, you know that if we are into the realm of national security laws, there are bound to be some sacrifices on human rights and freedoms.

At that time, I was Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, and we put out a very strong position paper to argue that if Hong Kong made the national security laws in the way that the chief executive was then proposing, then Hong Kong’s rule of law as an institution would be very much harmed and damaged. And quite obviously, we persuaded quite a few Hong Kong people … and there was this huge march on July 1, 2003, which resulted in the national security bill having been shelved by the chief executive, and it has never come back since. And just about, I think, a fortnight ago, there were more than one voice in Hong Kong from both the Legislative Council circle and Beijing camp arguing that, “Well, it is high time that we made laws to deal with treason,… etc., because that had been all that was causing the troubles in Hong Kong.” So, that is also a very dangerous sign. We may be seeing a further deterioration of the Hong Kong rule of law, and respect for freedoms and human rights.

While on that, perhaps you can allow me to also mention that the statements made by quite a few pro-Beijing figures on an occasion that marked the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law actually made me very anxious. The Basic Law was promulgated on April 4th, 1990. So, came April 4th, 2020, we are looking at the 30th anniversary. These pro-Beijing figures were telling Hong Kong that, “Oh, you had been mistaken about your interpretation of the Basic Law. When you said, ‘Oh, you have been promised a high degree of autonomy, your freedoms and your human rights would remain intact, your legal system and the rule of law as an institution would be preserved until at least 2047’—that was a mistake! In fact, I can tell you now that the CCP has all along retained absolute power over Hong Kong and you must read the Basic Law in a correct way.”

Now, this is really something that I can’t swallow. Given these very clear statements, I think it is fair for me to conclude that on this 30th anniversary, I can say that the past 30 years actually tell a tale of treachery and deceit. So, they are actually saying, “Well, look here, chaps. You thought that you had been promised a universal suffrage. You thought that you had been promised preservation of freedoms, human rights and the rule of law as an institution. You are mistaken.” Now, how can anybody who is responsible say something like that? It is just like you have deceived Hong Kong people, and now turning around to accuse us of being so foolish as to have been deceived by you. This is really something, but it seems that this is the CCP that we are facing today.

And coming back to where you began, Jan, I said today’s Hong Kong can easily be the world’s tomorrow. Now, if the CCP is giving us this story of treachery and deceit, in not respecting the Basic Law and all the promises enshrined in it, then the CCP in its true colors is actually revealed to the world very clearly. And so, when I told your audience back in December that you, meaning the liberal democracies of the world, are standing with Hong Kong to fight for our freedom, that is not only you helping us to fight our war, our battle, against encroachment of freedoms, and human rights, and rule of law. You’re also defending yourselves because we are both sharing the same core values, ideologies and institutions of liberal democracies of the world, and we are facing the same threat—the CCP threat. And what happens on the ground in Hong Kong should bring home to you loudly and clearly what you might be facing in time to come.

Mr. Jekielek: How much of an increased threat do you see amidst coronavirus from the CCP to encroach further on the freedoms of Hong Kong?

Mr. Leong: What I see happening on the ground in Hong Kong while we are defending ourselves against this virus is that CCP is exploiting the situation to do bad things on Hong Kong people, thinking probably that the world would be too busy and otherwise engaged with fighting the coronavirus; that they could not spare the attention to keep an eye on Hong Kong. And that is exactly why I’m telling the world that perhaps you should not do that. Of course, you fight the coronavirus, but at the same time—I think people are already doing this. They are trying to figure out what has brought about the chaos and the catastrophic effect on the world economy. An accusing finger, of course, is being pointed at the CCP, particularly in the form that it had chosen to conceal the coronavirus when it was first reported in Wuhan. And also, it had produced figures that were not trustworthy, so that the world did not have an accurate assessment as to what possible impact this coronavirus could have, and the catastrophic results that it could produce.

So, this in a way, is bringing home to the world, how CCP threat can manifest itself in a way that is actually lethal to peoples of the liberal democratic world. It is in this way that I think this CCP virus is highly relevant to the world’s awakening to the CCP threat. It is just like an alarm clock that wakes you up, and this CCP virus is really so persuasive that you can’t continue to sleep on it. You are now awakened and you have to find a way to deal with the CCP in the aftermath of the CCP virus.

I think I can see evidence of the world—politicians, governments, peoples in liberal democracies—starting to put on their thinking caps and trying to do something along this line. For example, I have seen some empirical huge data analysis done in 19 countries, I think, tracing back to patient zero of the virus outbreak in individual countries, and they trace it back to a person from Wuhan. And also, I think some Indian jurists are already asking the United Nations to make China, or in other words, the CCP, pay for the huge loss and damage suffered. And the Henry Jackson Society, a very reputable think tank in London, published a report that goes to about 50-60 pages to suggest that there are causes of action open to victims of the CCP virus so that they can pursue China for compensation. And lastly, only last week I saw a piece of news to say that the International Criminal Court already received an application for bringing China to justice in that court, something that can be likened to war crime.

So, it seems that the CCP and President Xi Jinping are finding themselves in a very dire situation, that it seems that the whole world is coming down on them. But what bewilders me is that it seems the CCP and President Xi Jinping are not responding or reacting in a way that a rational being would expect them to. Instead of apologizing to the world for having done wrong, they are now putting out different allegations and accusations to say, firstly, that it was American soldiers bringing the virus to Wuhan. Then they actually suggested that it could be Italy that first spread the virus, through Chinese personnel, to China. Now, all these, I don’t think will help them in regaining the trust of the world, and if such trust cannot be earned once again, then not only the CCP will face very dire consequences, Hong Kong will also go down with it.

You might be aware that there was this news about—is it Google—laying a cable which originally was planned to go via Taiwan to Hong Kong. But now, I think they would stop at Taiwan, and the reason for that is that Hong Kong is no longer trusted as a member of the free world. If the cable goes to Hong Kong, it could actually jeopardize all the data and information conveyed in that seabed cable. And that is a very sad thing for Hong Kongers to note because we have been promised independent customs territory status since 1992 by the Hong Kong Policy Act, passed by the American Congress. But now, it seems that we are brought down by the CCP when the world has awakened to the CCP threat, and Hong Kong is no longer trusted as an autonomous region that can manage our own business, and honor our treaty and contract obligations with the rest of the world. That is a sad thing.

Mr. Jekielek: It brings two questions to my mind. First of all, are you worried … of the awareness of the way that CCP is acting around the world, around global governments, and especially in the U.S., will result in the special status of Hong Kong being revoked, which of course would be a very difficult situation? And two, … the types of court cases that you were talking about earlier, holding the CCP accountable, there’s actually legislation being introduced in the U.S. right now to this effect. There’s a number of lawsuits that we’ve been covering that also seek damages around this. The criticism of this legislation and these losses is simply: it’s too early to try to deal with this; let’s deal with the problem first; lay blame later. What would you say to people that have that criticism?

Mr. Leong: There’s a saying in Hong Kong that “if we burn, the CCP burns with us.” Well, it seems that unfortunately, we may be heading that way. If Hong Kong is no longer trusted as an autonomous Special Administrative Region that is given a free hand to manage our own business, then Hong Kong will be treated by the rest of the world as no different from Shanghai or Guangzhou. Now, so if that is the case, that … is very, very difficult for Hong Kong to maintain our status as an international financial center. And of course, with such a status of an international financial center gone, then I really question how the CCP could recruit or to attract foreign investments directly into China, and also how it could exchange RMB into internationally traded foreign currencies. So, it is really difficult to answer why the CCP and President Xi are behaving in a way that is beyond logical comprehension, unless they actually want to burn Hong Kong, and then they burn with us. But that doesn’t make sense. And the only way that I can explain it is that they, out of power, conceitedness, they just can’t help themselves into behaving in this way, which is totally irrational, if you ask me. And I think peoples of the world should see in the example of Hong Kong people over the past decade or so, that when you think that there is really no hope at all by standing up to the CCP, sometimes by insisting on what you believe to be the right thing to do, somehow things might work out.

Now, of course, I’m not saying that things are working out at the moment, but at least 20 years ago when we were faced with the Article 23 saga, people already said, as a matter of undeniable fact, that Hong Kong was no match for the CCP; it’s no good for the people of Hong Kong to stand up against the making of the national security laws. But of course, as history has it, we have defended ourselves against that law, that draconian law, which originally was meant to take away our freedoms, our human rights, and rule of law. We have at least postponed that evil day for 18 years now, right? And we also did very well, in November, in the district council elections. Everybody thought that probably the CCP and the Hong Kong administration would cancel that election, the district council elections. But it turned out that the Democrats won a landslide victory. We won 388 seats out of a total of 420, and we are now controlling 17 out of 18 district councils. So, there is a silver lining behind these dark clouds looming over Hong Kong, and for that purpose, looming over the world. But if we insist on living in truth, and we practice good comradeship, and we practice what we believe to be human values, I think there’s no need to feel and act desperate. Yeah, just keep it up, and hang in there, and do our best.

Mr. Jekielek: Based on what you’ve just said, I’m guessing I know the answer to the other question, which is whether

it’s appropriate to seek restitution and damages, and this legislation to hold the CCP accountable at this time.

Mr. Leong: Given previous examples of the CCP having been taken to international arena, they invariably would say, even [if] they lost these legal battles, they would say, “Oh, this is a question of our own sovereignty, we are not going to yield to International Court’s ruling, etc.” So, I think these moves are totally understandable, but I don’t think it will produce the results that the pursuers intend. But that is not really telling them not to continue to pursue them. I think it is important for us who believe in a rules-based game, all the things, to do what we think ought to be done. But I’m not optimistic at all that you would be able to get the redress and remedy, or compensation, from the CCP by pursuing such forces.

Mr. Jekielek: You’re a very keen legal mind. I’ll just mention, one of the lawyers that’s on one of these cases, he has actually successfully extracted multiple millions from a nationalized CCP-governed company. I believe the judge in the case basically threatened to stop port calls for Chinese ships unless they paid up ultimately. So, it seems like there are methods other than saying, “Give me the money,” and the CCP saying, “No, thanks. We’re sovereign.”

Mr. Leong: You’re right if there are assets of CCP within your jurisdiction, then that is of course a different question. But you can only have your remedy as much as you have CCP’s assets within your jurisdiction. So, do what you think is right. Don’t despair and give up too soon.

Mr. Jekielek: Oh, those are wonderful words to hear, in general, for these very, very difficult times. Our hearts here go out to the Hong Kong people setting a great example for the rest of the world, holding tight in the face of a lot of adversity and not just coronavirus. Any final thoughts before we finish up?

Mr. Leong: Well, I really hope that the world will spare us some attention during these difficult times when you are fighting against the coronavirus. Hong Kong is really on the front line of this battle between the China model and the liberal democratic model. If Hong Kong falls as a result of the world no longer paying enough attention to us during this time of the viral attack, then if Hong Kong falls, it may produce similar results in other countries who have been dealing with the CCP. So, it may be high time that we all sit back and think about how we would deal with the CCP after the virus has somehow been controlled. And I can say with some certainty that there would be a new order of things. Life will not go back to the time before the coronavirus. It is not possible, and it is something that God forbids.

Mr. Jekielek: Alan Leong, such a pleasure to speak with you today.

Mr. Leong: Pleasure’s all mine.

++Fire Fauci Should Be The Rallying Cry For A Generation

Luongo Rages: #FireFauci Should Be The Rallying Cry For A Generation

Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, ‘n Guns blog,

I’m done mincing words. I’m done giving people the benefit of the doubt. Whenever I do that The Davos Crowd and their highly placed agents make me look like a virtue-signaling fool.

Fire Anthony Fauci now.

For weeks I’ve been careful to separate the threat of the disease, COVID-19, from the political response. I’ve felt strongly that one can respect the virus while at the same time be wary of the political response and the panic engineered over it.

But that’s come to an end. It’s clear that the plan from the beginning was to allow this virus to run wild in high profile places like New York and Italy to create fear. It is also clear that people like Dr. Anthony Fauci were activated to ensure the worst possible response to the crisis would be implemented in the U.S.

And now, after more than a month after shutting down whole swaths of our economy and locking people in their homes under effective house arrest it’s also clear that most of this response was overblown and unnecessary.

And here in the U.S. the point man on this insanity has been Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) whose ties to all the worst people you can imagine run very, very deep.

Lastly, it’s also very clear that President Trump was the target the entire time. He finally hit his breaking point yesterday because he realizes that now that he was advised poorly.

Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you @OANN https://t.co/d40JQkUZg5

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 12, 2020

First that tweet then there was the presser where he roasted the media.

This is the supercut video President Trump just played during the coronavirus briefing. It includes clips of MSNBC and CNN pundits downplaying coronavirus, @maggieNYT defending his China travel ban, and Govs. Cuomo and Newsom praising his administration’s response. pic.twitter.com/W6O1oEQuso

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 13, 2020

Now this morning, the Surgeon General Jerome Adams has effectively announced the U.S. has dumped the models created by the CDC and the WHO — models backed by Bill Gates and forced on the scene by his gatekeeper Fauci. From Breitbart and Fort Russ on Adams’ radio interview:

Data vs. Models: The Coronavirus Task Force is now working with real-time data about the country, Adams said, instead of the predictive models that were criticized for being overblown and exaggerated. — Breitbart

From Fort Russ:

He explained on the Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily host Alex Marlow, that given the new data, businesses will begin to re-open as early as May, others in June.

This runs contrary to the out-and-out fear-mongering of Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates who have made a media tour, threatening the public that businesses may not re-open for six months to a year, or until and unless governments purchase their conveniently patented, big-pharma vaccination.

According to Dr. Adams:

“What the American people need to know now is we actually have data, and so we’re tracking that data,”

Before this about-face, which appears to have come as an order from the Trump administration in consultation with the findings of Dr. Adams, the task force was working with’predictive models’, which had been created by the Bill Gates dominated WHO and CDC. Dr. Fausti’s control over the CDC has been criticized in the past for its for-profit motive in handling a range of illnesses from HIV to H1NI.

The lock down orders hopefully will be lifted soon, likely May 1st, but yesterday is a better date. The models have been dumped and the actual data are now in use. And the data are clear. There is no pandemic.

The WHO/CDC/Gates models have been horrifically inaccurate, catastrophically so.

If I didn’t know better I’d think these guys were economists for the Fed or the IMF. I thought this was supposed to be about science (SCIENCE!)?

If so I have a couple of questions for the so-called experts?

So why wasn’t the CDC advocating widespread testing while monitoring the data from Wuhan?

Why were the media roasting President Trump over his travel ban from China?

Why were people like Fauci, as late as early March saying this wasn’t a big deal, when he knew otherwise?

Why is no one roasting New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio’s chesnuts over an open fire for not shutting down the biggest transmission vector in the entire country, the mass transit system?

Why is every death in the U.S. a COVID-19 ‘related’ death?

Why was everyone locked down and not just the high risk people?

It turns out, like everything else today, the answer to all these questions is simple… politics. And the worst kind of politics.

Meanwhile, Fauci keeps trying to upstage Trump, thinking he could continue to command the heights because he’s the chosen expert.

While I’m not Trump’s biggest fan, I have to say eventually he puts his foot down and when he does it then goes up the ass of some bureaucrat who richly deserves it.

And Fauci deserves far more than just the boot, as it were. He deserves all of our scorn and derision.

For all of you thinking I’m off base here, that somehow Fauci’s experience and credentials count for more than my vitriol I’m going to ask my last question.

Why should we listen to the word of any doctor that recommends people huddle in their homes afraid of a cousin to the common cold versus building up our immune systems and our herd immunity?

Fauci shouldn’t be leading a Presidential Task Force he should have his medical licence revoked for violating his Hippocratic Oath.

Do. No. Harm.

So, is he going to reimburse personally the billions lost by small businesses around the country? The destroyed supply chains, the spilled milk, the spoiled food, the people who weren’t treated for non-COVID illnesses as our hospitals were overrun with his political experiment in mass hysteria?

He’s no more a credible source for medical advice regardless of his resume than I am.

Nearly everyone knows that strengthening the immune system is how you fight a cold. Vitamin D, C, bone broth, rest and sunshine.

You don’t need a medical degree from Holy Cross to know this. But somehow Fauci never seems to approve or green light treatments that do that. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking cancer, AIDS, or COVID-19, the man is a walking death sentence. He’s the very essence of regulatory capture and prima facia evidence that power and corruption go together like peanut butter and jelly.

If you squint hard enough he really does look like Gollum.

If there is one thing that this pandemic has exposed, along with the concomitant economic dislocation it is that ‘experts’ better run for cover.

Fauci, Gates and George Soros (who’s right on time with a new op-ed in the L.A. Times telling everyone we need UBI from the Magic Money Tree) are trying to create a medically-based transnational superstructure in the same way that they failed to do it through trade deals like TTIP and TPP, which Trump nixed.

And it’s time that we looked at this situation with clear eyes and not the rose-colored glasses of what we want our government officials to be. Because if we don’t we’ll lose what’s left of our dignity. Forget the republic, folks. That’s gone.

This lock down is about whether or not we’re willing to actually walk the walk versus just whine about them ‘taking our freedoms.’ They are in the last stages of doing that right now, there’s no future tense anymore.

This is the present. This is real.

Men like Fauci shouldn’t just be fired, they should be tried and convicted for gross incompetence for the harm they are doing and the harm they’ve done.

Knowingly promoting mathematical models of disease transmission that were never intended to be accurate is FRAUD, not an honest error. He’s not the only doctor in the world with an opinion on COVID-19. Many of them are incensed with how this has been handled.

When issuing commands and recommendations that could cost the world its soul it is incumbent on the person making those recommendations to get them right, not run cover for evil oligarchs intent on shepherding humanity to their own private Mordor.

Because if they don’t then they are liable for results. But government operates in a true vacuum, immune to the effects of its bad decisions through sovereign immunity.

This is the fundamental problem with creating government agencies that have these powers. They are staffed by people who can be corrupted, and like Fauci are easy to corrupt to command controls over our lives that they have 1) not earned and 2) should never have.

And it’s why it’s time for us to stand up and no longer accept these men and women as any more wise and insouciant than we are. It’s truly time for the kind of intellectual revolt against the Progressive ideal of the wise engineer.

The palpable disappointment on the part of Gates, Fauci, the media and the Democrats at the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine is all the indictment of these people you need to finally let the scales fall and see them for what they are.

These are megalomaniacs without conscience. They are Bond villians without the charisma. And we need to strip them of their legitimacy first in our minds and then in practice.

Because if it were up to them there would never be a cure for COVID-19, just an endless series of treatments that make us sicker and more dependent on them.

#FireFauci isn’t just a meme, it’s a metaphor for taking control over our lives and our society. It’s time to go outside, leave our homes and get back to work.

They know that if they keep your business closed for more than three months it’ll be gone forever. Bill Gates is obsessed with killing off billions of people and having the rest of us on residual poison waiting for the next vaccination for COVID-20 or COVID-21.

And while for Gates it’s not about making more money, it’s about the control, he motivates those around him with the promise of some of that sweet, sweet money they couldn’t ever earn for themselves honestly.

After destroying these small businesses and printing trillions will allow vultures allied with them to come in and pick the bones of our gutted society clean.

This is what they are setting up while Soros, cyborg that he is, apes the empathy we humans actually feel to demand the government print more trillions to support the common man hurting because of him.

If I didn’t have a soul, I’d actually appreciate the irony of it.

Frankly, it’s beyond sick and it has to end. If we don’t see this lock down and attempted coup to allow doctors to run the country for what it is, then we deserve everything that’s coming to us.

++Soros Connection With The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Coronavirus

Screen Shot 2016-08-14 at 2.29.36 PM

Following the Moves and Counter-Moves On the GeoStrategic Chess Board

 

 

EXCLUSIVE: China Coronavirus is Linked to the Former Leader of the Chinese Communist Party, His Family and Soros Investments. Does This Surprise Anyone?

The deadly China coronavirus that has now circled the globe is connected to one of the former leaders in China and his family, as well as George Soros. 

Who would have figured?

The China coronavirus has connections to former leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin.  For starters, Jiang is the grandfather of Jiang Zhicheng, Who has a controlling interest in WuXi AppTec, which controls Fosun Pharma.

In January of this year, a few months ago as the coronavirus was first being reported in China, the Wuhan Institute of Virology applied for a patent on a US drug, Remdesivir, used for the treatment of Ebola and coronavirus infections.  George Soros invests in WuXi.

TRENDING: Fauci Tells Sharpton He Warned Trump Admin in Mid to Late January “We Were in Real Trouble” from Coronavirus

We’ve previously reported on George Soros.  We reported during the corrupt impeachment hearings how Obama’s State and Justice Departments were assisting George Soros in his attempt to control the Ukraine.  Former US Attorney Joe diGenova called out George Soros as a Ukrainian oligarch who is anti free speech and attacks those who speak freely about him.

George Soros is a major Democrat donor and at the same time connected to numerous actions around the world that are very suspicious, if not corrupt. At the time of the 2017 Inauguration, we reported that Soros related groups were linked to every major protest since the November election.

Soros was interviewed years ago on CBS’s 60 Minutes where he admitted helping Nazi’s during World War II. He helped Nazis steal from Jews during the war. Soros is a Jew. Note that even in this video he parades his activities in the Ukraine.

Soros groups were reportedly behind the airport protests after President Trump’s election. A week before that Soros was reportedly behind 50 Groups involved in the ‘Women’s Protests’ the day after the inauguration. Before that, Soros groups were connected to the groups demanding election recounts after the November 8th election and Soros money was funding more protests during these efforts. And DC Leaks released information showing that Soros funded Black Lives Matter protests across the country.

President Trump called out Soros when a couple of his paid stooges attacked Republican Senator Jeff Flake in an elevator getting him to cave during the Kavanaugh hearing –

Donald J. Trump

The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love!

We reported that a group attacking Judge Kavanaugh and other Trump Judicial nominees was being fueled by dark money from George Soros. Later Soros groups were connected to racial riots in DC before the midterms.

In the past month alone we reported that a Soros assistant was the official escort for 16-year-old Global Warming ‘Expert’ Greta Thunberg. Soros was also involved in the Russia collusion scam. He also has been involved with numerous politicians in Europe.

In addition, we’ve reported that that George Soros wanted to take over the oil and gas industry in the Ukraine. This may have been one of the reasons the Obama Administration helped him there.

So based on all the above, it is no surprise that Soros or one of his affiliated groups would be linked to the China coronavirus in some manner.  We previously reported on Dr. Fauci from the US coronavirus task force and his connections to George Soros.  We also reported on Soros’s investments in WuXi AppTec.

Jiang Zemin’s son is Jiang Mianheng, who is an ex VP of the China Academy of Science (CAS), where he was responsible for the design, funding and construction of the P4 Lab in Wuhan.  The younger Jiang also is a partner with Chen Zhu, another ex-VP of CAS, who was responsible for the design, funding and construction of the P4 Lab.  He is now president of the Red Cross Society in China.

The current director of the P4 Lab is Yuan Zhiming.  Mr. Yuan is a partner with Jiang Zemin’s grandson, Jiang Zhicheng.

The above depicts how the family of the former Head of the Chinese Communist Party in China is connected to George Soros.  Is it really a surprise these people are linked to the China coronavirus?

The Coronavirus pandemic has raised the stakes and dramatically accelerated tensions in the United States and in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).  Central to the tensions is the PRC’s massive six-year investment in their global infrastructure plan; the three components of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), designed to insure the eventual social and economic world dominance of the PRC, reflected in the image below:

With US President Donald Trump on his maiden visit to India, the two countries are expected to have discussed the Blue Dot Network, a proposal that will certify infrastructure and development projects. Observers have referred to the proposal as a means of countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which was launched over six years ago.

What is the Blue Dot network?

 

Led by the US’s International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), the Blue Dot network was jointly launched by the US, Japan (Japanese Bank for International Cooperation) and Australia (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) in November 2019 on the sidelines of the 35th ASEAN Summit in Thailand.

It is meant to be a multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to bring governments, the private sector and civil society together to promote “high quality, trusted standards for global infrastructure development”.

The projects that are approved will get a “Blue Dot”, thereby setting universal standards of excellence, which will attract private capital to projects in developing and emerging economies.

Countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative?

The proposal for the Blue Dot network is part of the US’s Indo-Pacific strategy, which is aimed at countering Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ambitious BRI.

Probal Dasgupta, a strategic expert and author, told The Indian Express that while Blue Dot may be seen as a counter to BRI, it will need a lot of work for two reasons. First, there is a fundamental difference between BRI and Blue Dot — while the former involves direct financing, giving countries in need immediate short-term relief, the latter is not a direct financing initiative and therefore may not be what some developing countries need. “The question is if Blue Dot is offering first-world solutions to third-world countries?”

Secondly, Dasgupta mentions that Blue Dot will require coordination among multiple stakeholders when it comes to grading projects. “Given the past experience of Quad, the countries involved in it are still struggling to put a viable bloc. Therefore, it remains to be seen how Blue Dot fares in the long run.” (Quad is an informal strategic dialogue between the US, Japan, Australia and India)

US foreign policy towards China

Prior to 2001, US foreign policy was focussed towards integrating China into its plan, but this changed after China’s emergence as a global superpower. Under Barack Obama, US foreign policy started shifting focus to Asia, where the US wanted to counter China’s growing influence.

In fact, the National Security Strategy (NSS) under Trump says the following, “China seeks to displace the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, expand the reaches of its state-driven economic model, and reorder the region in its favour.”

From the US’s point of view, the Indo-Pacific region, which stretches from India’s west coast to the west coast of the US, is the most economically dynamic and populous part of the world.

Further, the US sees China’s infrastructure investments and trade strategies as reinforcing its geopolitical aspirations, including efforts to build and militarise outposts in the South China Sea, which as per the US, restricts the free movement of trade and undermines regional stability.

Bullion Bank Nightmare As LBMA-COMEX Spread Blows Up Again

Submitted by Ronan Manly, BullionStar.com

The gaping price differential between spot gold and gold futures that has been plaguing the paper gold markets in London and New York for the last three weeks shows no signs of abating and is continuing to flare up.

In essence, the contango phenomenon we are seeing is one of gold futures prices trading far above spot gold prices, a sign of liquidity problems in the London gold market and a signal that something is completely broken between the world‘s two predominant “gold price discovery” trading venues – which both, by the way, trade paper gold.

As a reminder, London LBMA trades unallocated gold over the counter (OTC), a form of synthetic fractional gold derivative. The vast quantities of unallocated gold which are traded in London are then netted and cleared in an electronic clearing engine called Aurum by 5 LBMA bullion banks that comprices London Precious Metals Clearing Limited (LPMCL), namely JP Morgan, HSBC, UBS, Scotia, and ICBC Standard Bank). Allocation of physical gold is a totally separate process beyond clearing in Aurum.

COMEX trades predominantly cash-settled gold futures contracts on exchange and facilitates the trading of these contracts bilaterally. COMEX futures are 99.9% cash-settled and even those that result in delivery really result in warehouse warrants changing hands but the gold staying in the New York vaults of JP Morgan, HSBC and Scotia.

That the wide-open spread continues to persist is even more remarkable, despite the best efforts of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), CME Group (operator of COMEX) and the powerful London-New York bullion bank syndicate to throw all they have at the problem.

At the time of writing, spot gold was trading at US$ 1696 against US$ 1753 for the front-month (most actively traded) COMEX gold futures contract, a $36 spread with futures over 3.44% over spot. The spread we‘re referring to can be seen in the below 3-day chart, which plots June 2020 gold futures (red and green line) against spot XAUUSD (blue line) from 6 April to 8 April. Notice that over this time the futures price has stayed far above spot, and more importantly, it has persistently done so.

The spot-futures spread blow out that has been running into its third week now can vividly be seen by zooming out and looking at a similar chart but this time from 24 March until 9 April, the first day that the price spread between London and New York gaped open. Notice the big gaps between futures and spot over 24-25 March, the persistence of the gap over the remainder of the week, and the subsequent re-explosion of the divergence since early April, particularly over the last few days.

Three Weeks and Counting

Its instructive to review a short timeline of some of the events which have contributed to this ongoing saga over the last three weeks, because it shows that no matter what the LBMA and CME do, the spread between London and COMEX continues to stay out there.

Week 1

23 March – COMEX gold futures (April contract) begin trading noticeably above LBMA bullion bank spot gold prices.

24 March – Spreads between COMEX futures and London spot blew out to $100 at one point during the day, while bid – ask spreads within London spot widened substantially.

24 March – Rumors in the gold market suggested that bullion banks that were required to deliver physical gold for COMEX Exchange for Physical (EFP) transactions failed to do so, suffered losses and exited the market, and that this caused the Spread between COMEX and London to widen substantially.

The bullion bank controlled LBMA releases its first control statement, deflecting attention away from London, saying it will help (essentially collude with) the CME-COMEX in the gold market – The official language is that the LBMA is working closely with COMEX and other key stakeholders to ensure the efficient running of the global gold market.”

Note – Who are these other key stakeholders, what do they mean by efficient running, and what gives them the right to think they can run the global gold market?

24 March – LBMA and its bullion banks pressure CME to launch a gold futures contract with a deliverable clause in London 400 oz gold bars.

24 March – At end of day, CME announces the launch of a new gold futures contract that can theoretically deliver 400 oz bars, 100 oz bars and kg bars but that uses a fractional paper concept called Accumulated Certificates of Exchange (ACEs) to divide 400 oz deliverable bars into 100 oz bars, and that critically includes all refiner brands on the LBMA Good Delivery List (current and former Good Delivery refiners). This contract will be called 4GC (See here and here).

See BullionStar article “LBMA colludes with the COMEX – To lockdown the global gold market?” for background to the above.

25 March until end of March – For the rest of the week, disinformation from bullion banks to mainstream media about flight cancellations and refinery closures preventing bullion banks delivering gold from London to New York thus causing prices on COMEX and London to diverge. See hereherehere and here for examples. From the below chart you can see that there is never any gold exported from London to New York.

Week 2

30 March – CME published its daily gold vault stocks report (for Friday 27 March) with a new category for “400 oz AND eligible brands”, but with all vaults showing zero stocks of 400 oz gold bars. And notably, that the JP Morgan vault in New York had zero holdings.

30 March – When Bullionstar draws attention to this new CME vault report,  in “COMEX can’t find a 400 oz bar for its new 400 oz gold futures contract“, the CME then deletes the new report from its website on the morning of 31 March,  and replaces it intra-day with a report which reverted to the original version.

1 April – LBMA and CME publish an unprecedented second control statement titled “LBMA and CME group comment on healthy gold stocks in New York and London”, saying that “CME Group and LBMA..will continue to coordinate efforts as market circumstances evolve”. See “LBMA and COMEX try to Reassure the Market – Twice in One Week“ for background.

Note – If LBMA and CME are trading gold bars, why would they need to coordinate efforts, and more importantly, coordinate efforts to what end?

LBMA disingenuously refers to 8326 tonnes of gold in London, a figure that is from 3 months ago, and nearly all of this total tonnage is central bank gold, gold held in ETFs, and allocated gold held by other investors. The real float of physical gold in the london LBMA gold vaults controlled by the LBMA bullion banks is less than 1000 tonnes and some estimates from sources in the bullion banks say it could be between 300 and 500 tonnes.

In the same statement, CME refers to 9.2 million ozs ( 287 tonnes) of gold held in its approved vaults, with irrelevant claims that 5.6 million ozs of this is eligible gold. Eligible gold is gold which just happens to be in the form that satisfies the deliverable unit of the contracts (1 kg bars or 100 oz bars). The rest of this figure is registered gold, which already has warehouse warrants attached.

2 April – The spread between COMEX gold futures prices and London spot gold prices starts to gap up strongly again.

Rest of week – CME Group releases publicly a PowerPoint slide presentation titled “Precious Metals Physical Delivery Process”, which includes the new 4GC contract and explains how to get an electronic warrant if standing for delivery of COMEX gold futures contracts, but that explains nothing about withdrawing gold from the COMEX vaults.

The COMEX presentation also features a slide discussing the COMEX New York approved vaults but unbelievably instead of showing photos of one of its approved New York vaults, this slide contains photos of a HSBC gold vault in London showing gold bars belonging to the exchange traded fund, the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). This GLD gold has nothing to do with COMEX gold vaults in New York (or does it?).

Week 3

6 April – The spread between the COMEX June gold futures contract and the LBMA spot gold price blows out again very widely to over $80 at one point in the day.

6 April – CME adds back the category “Enhanced Delivery (400 oz AND eligible brands)” to its New York daily vault report. Of the 9 vaults on the report, 5 have 0 holdings in this 400 oz category, 2 (Brinks & Loomis) have a combined 2 tonnes, HSBC claims 21.5 tonnes, JP Morgan appears for the second time, claiming 126.8 tonnes. The first time being 30 January when JP Morgan was listed as having zero tonnes of 400 oz bars.

Note – “400 oz AND Eligible Brands” will be the subject of another article soon, but for now it means as follows. For the new 4GC contract, CME added all LBMA Good Delivery gold bar Brands (Current and Former) as Eligible brands. That’s 68 brands from the existing GC100 contract + 71 brands from the LBMA current Good Delivery List  + another 113 LBMA former Good Delivery List.
