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

An open letter published on the web in early January called on “the federal authorities in Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States” and the FBI, specifically, to investigate the claim made by the authors that the worldwide lockdowns that have decimated small businesses and left millions unemployed, yet lined the pockets of the richest people and sent stock markets soaring, have been “inspired” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Their ‘case’ begins with the argument that as a result of China’s implementation of a lockdown on the city of Wuhan after the novel coronavirus was deemed a threat to public health by Chinese authorities. and the ostensible iron grip the communist nation has on the World Health Organization, it was able to stealthily transpose its draconian measures on the rest of the world.
Relying on a quote by the WHO’s representative in China taken from a press conference given in Wuhan on the very day the lockdown order was issued, the action taken by China’s central government is posited as “unprecedented” in American history. The authors’ position is uncontroversial and obvious since quarantining “a city of 11 million people” had never been done anywhere else in the world, either.
Quoting at length from a federal judge’s decision in Pennsylvania that invalidated that state’s Covid restrictions on constitutional grounds, the authors are able to side with a growing sentiment among Americans and, indeed, with many people around the world who see the lockdowns and other intrusive public health measures as a bridge too far. If they had just focused on the actual limits placed on constitutional powers by the American justice system, itself, and how such measures were able to be rolled out and enforced here in the first place, the writers of this screed might have more credibility.
Instead, the setup is used to usher in a convoluted and politically charged condemnation of Xi Jinping and his supposed lackey, WHO Secretary General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, who together were able to trick every Western nation into implementing lockdowns on their own populations. Adhanom’s rise to the WHO’s top job is wholly attributed to China’s influence by the authors; a narrative that also conveniently aligns with the one being pushed by establishment mouthpieces like the CFR’s “Foreign Affairs magazine,” which contributed to laying out the foundation of this plot in the summer of 2020 in a piece titled “China’s Troubling Vision for the Future of Public Health.”
Painting China as the villain when it comes to worldwide public health initiatives is a picture that has been in the works for a while now. The push to institute a global biosecurity regime to sustain the coming human capital markets envisioned by the likes of World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab and company needs an anti-hero in order to pull it off. This letter is only one of many exercises intended for a gullible public that is more impressed by the volume of footnotes than by actual content.
