We now all know that there was U.S. involvement in the creation of COVID-19, and that Anthony Fauci himself was involved. But it is still generally assumed that the Chinese government was involved as well.
What if it wasn't? What if the lab in Wuhan was working for the U.S. Deep State unbeknownst to the Chinese government? What if the Chinese government is telling the truth when it denies responsibility for the virus?
If you want to frame someone for a hit-and-run, you don't frame a little old lady from Pasadena who only drives her car to church on Sundays. You frame an alcoholic or drug addict with prior driving infractions. When picking a patsy, you always pick someone who plausibly seems like the type of person who would do it.
Would the Chinese Communist Party attack us with a bio-weapon? I have no doubt that they would if they thought it was to their advantage. But would and did are two different things. And the fact that the CCP is the type to do such a thing makes them the perfect patsy for a frame-up.
Such a frame-up would serve at least two purposes. Firstly, it would keep the Left and Right fighting over whether or not to blame the CCP, while no one is pointing fingers at the real culprit: the U.S. Deep State. Secondly, it could help escalate war (or at least a breakdown in relations) between the U.S. and China, which could possibly benefit the Deep State. If it's true that Plan A was to have Hillary Clinton start a nuclear war with Russia, maybe a war with China is their Plan B.
This is all speculation, of course. But I think it's a possibility worth considering.
The CCP is like us. There are white hat elements who probably want reform and more relaxed policy, and black hats who want to jam their jackboots down everyone's throats. How do I know? People keep defecting and joining us.
Corrupt elements of the deep state, including international financial interests, used their influence over China to set up shop and run all manner of crazy projects they could never get away with in the US. Of course, there there are Chinese who played ball, and there are ones who are being taken along for the ride as well just like the rest of us.
