In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the state. In breaking with the lie we are performing a moral act, not a political one, not one that can be punished by criminal law, but one that would immediately have an effect on our way of life.

O N DECEMBER 1, 2019, a man in Wuhan, China, suffering from flu-like symptoms for several days was admitted to a hospital for what would be diagnosed as a severe form of pneumonia. His fate is unknown.
For thirty days the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took no action to alert the world of the impending danger of a deadly new disease. Those thirty days shook the world.
A Marxist-Leninist regime that was built on the bodies of 60 million Chinese since its founding in 1949 lied to the world and repressed medical doctors who tried to warn of a new highly contagious virus.
Why have American scientists not demanded a full accounting from Beijing for its bat coronavirus research?
In the days ahead, tens of thousands of people would die, and the entire world would be thrown into economic chaos.
This is nothing less than a crime against humanity facilitated by CCP influence within the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency with the primary mission of preparing to fight just the kind of disease outbreak that took place. The WHO and its leadership turned out to be worse than useless during the single crisis for which the agency exists. Instead, the WHO served as an agent for spreading dangerously false information by the CCP.
U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to cut off the United Statess annual $400 million in funding for the WHO as the epidemic forced the shutdown of the American and global economies in a bid to mitigate the spread of the disease.
The world is shut down, the president said. Nobody has ever seen anything like this. The entire world is shut down.
Only Information Age communications that emerged within the nearly totalitarian control system in China prevented the CCP from completely covering up the epidemic and perhaps inflicting even greater global damage.
Social media posts by Wuhan doctors sounded the alarm early on in the crisis. The clues allowed Western intelligence agencies to pick up the first signs. A brief period of time during the earliest days also allowed official and unofficial media to reveal what was going on. That was abruptly shut down in January when the CCP imposed harsh censorship and restrictions, including jailing unofficial bloggers in Wuhan who were telling the world of the horrors inflicted upon a city of 11 million people.
The party under Xi Jinping and his functionaries, from the highest levels in Beijing down to local officials in Wuhan, lied and deceived their own people. Then they launched a campaign of deception and disinformation. They failed to inform the world of the outbreak of a deadly new disease caused by a new coronavirus derived from bats, animals that were the subject of extensive research after the first outbreak in 2003 of the disease called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The new virus is called SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).
After first covering up the outbreak by attributing it to poor sanitary conditions at a wild animal market in Wuhan, Chinese authorities launched a disinformation campaign asserting that the virus had originated outside China. Official propaganda mouthpieces said the virus was created in the United States and spread by U.S. Army soldiers who attended a military sporting competition in Wuhan in October 2019.
President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denied the lies but did not condemn them over fears that China was preparing to pull out of a landmark trade agreement with the United States that requires China to purchase $250 billion in American goods. The president and senior officials exposed the campaign as a desperate effort by Beijing to deflect international attention from its criminal mishandling of the virus outbreak.
The Peoples Republic of China and the CCP that has ruled it with an iron fist since 1949 carried out the cover-up in a premeditated fashion. Like the Soviet Union that spawned it, the CCP was built, as the Russian writer Aleksander Solzhenitsyn said of the Soviet Union, on lies and deception. It thrived on lies and has held on to power with lies.
Communist leaders constantly harp on bogus assertions that China is mistreated by the international community and is not recognized as a great nation. The truth is that the damage the CCP has inflicted upon the world proves without a doubt that the institution is a force for evil that must be replaced with a new and open system of government.
For the United States, the CCP has shown through its missteps that anything related to it its representatives, its controlled businesses, its fellow travelers, and its apologists should no longer be welcome inside free Western institutions built on trust.
As part of a strategy of seeking global supremacy under Xis Chinese Dream, the CCP is exploiting the global health crisis to advance its agenda. For Beijing, achieving global supremacy is intimately linked to seeking the ultimate destruction of the United States of America the main obstacle to that goal.
THE OUTBREAK
The Wuhan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention is located about three miles from what many Chinese and American scientists believe is the epicenter of the virus outbreak one of the many notorious wild animal markets. The Wuhan Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market is a source of exotic fresh meat from animals such as civet cats and pangolins, scaly anteaters considered delicacies by Chinas ruling elites.
The Wuhan CDC is home to a laboratory staffed by a researcher named Tian Junhua. Tian burst into prominence in China in December 2019 just as the deadly coronavirus was attacking its first victims. State-controlled propaganda outlets, both print and video, lionized Tian as a dedicated researcher committed to finding vaccines for deadly bat coronaviruses. He was shown wearing protective gear inside caves in China, catching bats and taking swabs from their mouths.
The documentary revealed that Tian at one point in his field research was exposed to bat urine inside a cave because he had failed to wear protective gear. To avoid contracting a disease, the researcher self-quarantined for fourteen days the same time period now being used around the world to protect people exposed to the new coronavirus. How did Tian know that the possible incubation period for a SARS-like bat virus to infect a person was fourteen days? What kind of research was he doing on deadly bat coronaviruses at the CDCs Level 2 security laboratory, a facility lacking the kind of equipment needed for handling deadly pathogens? Was he working on the recently discovered bat coronavirus now dubbed SARS-COV-2?
