An investigative analysis takes apart a hackneyed piece of propaganda authored by an international alt-right clique with links to the Pentagon.

Part 9 - A classic case of projection
The remaining points are remarkable on several counts. One is how the already copious amount of references increase in frequency and the other is the sheer mendacity as the authors engage in the tired and familiar pattern seen in 2016 when Russia was alleged to have carried out a massive social media campaign that threw the election for Donald Trump.
Furthermore, the authors not only accuse China of the same type of meme bombardment capable of turning water into wine but also have the audacity to portray the giant mainstream news outlets – from the New York Times to the Washington Post – as helpless victims of a vast Chinese state propaganda machine.
By and large, the document concludes by listing scientists, politicians, and a few advocates, who they consider to be either unwitting accomplices of the Asian menace or outright supporters of the Chinese Communist Party in their macabre undertaking to rule the world through a totalitarian health dictatorship.
A breaking scandal in Germany shows just how far Western leaders, fully free from Chinese influence, have gone in order to justify the lockdowns and other restrictions. Emails obtained in a lawsuit revealed that scientists from the country’s disease control center and a number of academic institutions were commissioned by the German Minister of the Interior, Markus Kerber, to “develop a model on the basis of which preventive and repressive measures can be planned” at the outset of the pandemic in March. The scientists worked closely with the ministry and in just four days came up with a paper distributed in secret to other members of government, which contained a “worst case scenario” of one million dead if social activity was not drastically curbed.
The lockdowns, social distancing, and mask mandates have had severe socioeconomic consequences for millions of people who are witnessing the erosion of their civil liberties, human rights, and even mental health. But, to suggest that the government of China has orchestrated what has evidently been a coordinated response by virtually every nation in the world is misleading, at best.
Considering that the Pentagon has been moving away from counterinsurgency efforts in places like Afghanistan and is “preparing for high-intensity conflict” against China and other nation-states, it behooves us to prepare against the onslaught of propaganda headed our way to justify another century of perpetual war.
