November Predictions

[Averageman]

China is already interfering in the election. Do you think this China flu was an accident? This was done to destroy the Trump economy, because they had ZERO chance of winning without its destruction.

Democrats are working with the Chinese controlled chaos to steal the election. These people accuse you of the very thing they are doing, scamming an election, the only difference is it's China, not Russia.
I think the EO, Trump signed yesterday was a pretty good move to pull a bit of rug out from under them.

I think it was an accident and I think the initial reason for the lockdowns was the suspicion that it was a bio weapon, due to the gene inserts people “discovered” if that is true.

Do I think they psychos leveraged the lockdowns to try to hurt Trump? Yes, of course.

That makes zero sense.

China: "Let's release a virus that's a lot less lethal and virulent than other bugs we have in storage, but start it here, and let it escape to Europe and ravage other countries, then export it to the US where it's gonna derail the election..."

Maybe not destroy the USA economy, but Trump was running over China with all the trade deals and negotiations. Seems like all that has fallen apart and China is back in the game because the Hong Kong Flui created the situation for them to do so.

That I can buy. I see it as a "never let a crisis go to waste" venture from the left, and from outside actors.

Don't discount plausible deniability value... also, you don't need mass-kill to get a mass-terror effect and demoralize the enemy populace. Sorta like the difference between a haymaker versus a jab to knock the other guy off-balance...

They would want to destroy the US economy, as the shut down did. They don't want to kill their largest customer base. China has been warring with the rest of the world economically for a long time.

It's the PERFECT bio weapon in some ways. If you have an obvious Slate Wiper....someone might get NUKED in response. This is just benign enough for plausible, "We're so solly" deniability......

Yup. If memory serves, at least one of their military texts advocates exactly this kind of economic terrorism... give "Unrestricted Warfare" a read sometime. The fact that it was published rather than the colonels who wrote advocating murder of enemy civilians Gulaged tells us that they have the Powers That Be over there fully onboard with this shit, and if it means sacrificing a few million of their own well there are always more to replace them.

Besides, with it hitting them first they get to play "sympathetic victim" and suck up all the supplies, then they make money hand over fist selling 'em back once the spread is Game On.

There are two types of incapacitants, right? Lethal and non-lethal. Booger eaters use both; VX to kill everyone, and a pox to knock out one warfighter/civilian requiring 4-8 'life support' personnel to make them well and keep them alive, and tie up personnel and resources. I have little doubt that the Chinese were futzing with it, bio-engineering, and it got out, but I don't think it was on purpose. If it was on purpose, it would make sense that it was designed as a non-lethal incapacitant (but obviously one that can kill the 'wrong' population), but it would not make sense to use it on their own people (I think if that was the design, then releasing it to the public in China was an 'oopsie').

I would say that it is almost the perfect bio-wep; too many get it with no/mild symptoms, so it's not quite as severe as a good bio-wep could be. Make more sense to have a bug that would knock 20-60 year-olds down for 30+ days; now that would eff up the economy.

I think as a purposeful effort to screw Trump and the economy, it just doesn't make much sense. China is a lot of things, stupid is not one of them. They could much easier wreck our economy and probably do it in a way that really enforces plausible deniability. But do I think China is laughing at us over all of this? Without a doubt.
