Australian intelligence knocks back US claim on Wuhan virus lab

US Intelligence is an oxymoron
Pompeii publicly announced that Australian Intel supported the American's and that the virus was produced in a lab. He openly lied, like Trump, like Rumsfeld, like Cheney in a Cold -War manoeuvre to bolster Trump's failing chances in the 2020 elections. Trump, like no other President before him, is bankrupting America's reputation in the eyes of the world as Hitler did Germany but he doesn't care as long as he wins domestically.   Despite ASIO's knockback, Scott Morrison is doing all he can to support the investigation into the origins of the virus rather than it's sovereign and global handling. In doing so he's taking the focus off Trump's administration failures. All indications are that should Trump go to war with China in a desperate attempt Morrison would dutifully have us follow as we did so many times before.(ODT)

 

Australian intelligence agencies have questioned evidence trumpeted by US officials supposedly linking the coronavirus to a Wuhan laboratory as concerns within the government grow that the push will derail efforts to eliminate dangerous wildlife wet market

 The Trump/ Murdoch message

• The Department of Homeland Security claims China increased imports and decreased exports of medical supplies
• The Trump administration has stepped up its rhetoric against Beijing amid widespread domestic criticism
• There is no public evidence to suggest China's handling of coronavirus was an intentional plot to buy up the world's medical supplies

'Chinese people need to be clean': Australians urged to speak up as coronavirus-related racism rears its head 

These attacks have been boosted by racist flag waving seen in the media lately as was previously done against Muslims, Africans and any other migrant chosen by Murdoch's pundits. Any they chose to stand out except Orthodox Jews.  In particular, the loudest of commentators could be found in the Murdoch press. If Chinese you're worthy of suspicion as historically once were Catholics, Russians and members of the Australian Communist Party which by the way was home to a high Jewish intellectual membership. Murdoch saw profit in sensationalising political division particularly on the side of those that held the money bags.(ODT) 
 

Coronavirus-related racist attacks against Asian-Australians are increasing, but experts say this is just the tip of the iceberg due to significant underreporting — here's how you can help.

Others taunting the “open” Swedish model ignore that according to the Swedish Riksbank de facto the Swedish economy is closed. Sweden has experienced a sharper drop in the first-quarter GDP than the US, with the Swedish economy down 11%. The Riksbank’s estimates are a 70 per cent decline in restaurants and cafes, a 90% decline in cinema, sports, and other crowd events. a 40% decline in car sales, a 23% fall in exports, a 30% decline in shoes and clothes purchases, a 75% drop in Swedish recreational travel.
The “open” Swedish model is a bet on herd immunity which at our present state of knowledge is merely an assumption. 
President Trump and the neoconservatives are determined to blame China for manufacturing the virus in the Wuhan laboratory despite the fact that the US knew about the research and contributed to its financing, which was approved by Dr Fauci himself. So when Trump and the warmonger neocons point at China the finger also points at the US.

VIRUS MADNESS: POLICE SWOOP ON WOMAN SITTING ALONE

Victoria's police state: "Eight police officers have been spotted appearing to question a homeless woman who was sitting alone on a park bench in Melbourne." Sitting alone, by the way. No danger to anyone. The eight police huddled together, however...

VEGAN BASHES GIRLFRIEND FOR SMELLING OF BACON

Never trusted vegans: "A woman has spoken out about the the abuse she suffered at the hands of her vegan boyfriend after he attacked her with a vinegar bottle because she 'smelled of bacon'."

Meat eater Andrew Bolt was noted for maligning and lying about his ex-fiance who was supporting him during his time of unemployment. When threatened with a lawsuit Bolt was quick to apologise and then blamed his wife for his actions. How naturally Trump of him. Bolt claimed he was forced to concoct his fantasy tale in order to protect her and his family. Can meat-eaters ever be trusted again?

CLIMATE FAIL: HUGE FALL OF SNOW THEY'D SAID WOULD GO

Trust the scientists? 2000: "Children aren't going to know what snow is." 2003: "The high impact scenario for 2020 leads to reductions of 30-40 days in average season lengths." 2012: "Enjoy snow now. By 2020 it will be gone." 2020: "Heavy, early season snow has fallen across the high country in Victoria and NSW."

Currently, Andrew Bolt supports Trump and Trump supports the predictions of worst scenario modelling to show just how well he's doing in combatting the coronavirus. In the worst-case scenario if nothing was done to prevent Covid in the USA an estimated 2.2million people could have died. However, Trump says only a very few have 70,000 to date and even it were 100,000 + it would be a small number in comparison. All due to his efforts.

Andrew Bolt like Chubby Checker does the twist and takes the worst-case scenario modelling to prove not that science is right but that it's predictions are wrong just as Trump has. How bright is that? He's right an apple isn't a grape even more so when the apple is a hypothetical one. Science's worst-case scenarios suggest"if nothing were done" but Bolt ignores that aspect of any argument.

BEWARE THE TYRANNY OF THE EXPERTS

Waleed Aly says there are "parallels" between the virus crisis and global warming that should inspire us. Anthony Albanese wants one more: trust the climate experts like we trusted the medical ones. Here's what so dangerous in what they're urging. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

Science and experts have changed the face of the planet in a shorter time than in the whole of the rest of history some 250 years and Andrew Bolt is denying it. The technological advances destroyed Feudalism and shifted the course of history to Industrial Capitalism which became Corporate multinational and today Oligarch information. The tyranny lies in the organisation of that technological advance picked up and used not to benefit all but only benefit of some. Any benefits for all a sideshow along the way

The tyranny of experts doesn't quite exist unless totally owned and privatised as was the want of Andrew Twiggy Forrest idea of setting up a $50mill study and review centre for Climate taking it out of the hands of the public. Just as Murdoch media wants news out of the hands of the public and the destruction of the ABC an ultra-conservatives want health wealth and education out of the hands of the public as well. All for the sake of their " good" and not any common good.
