"A woman at work said that she wondered could the Chinese government be trying to reduce their population using the Corona Virus."
"Was she a coherent woman?"
"Kind of."
"I yield to no one in my gentle critiques of the Chinese government, particularly with regard to their enforced abortion practices with women forced to give birth without an anesthetic and the babies then drowned in a bucket, but I'd say the postulation by your work colleague is not credible."
"Another girl at work thought maybe the Chinese government wanted to wipe us out with Corona Virus."
"What sort of people are you working with? Are they all whey faced loons? That one's not credible either in my view."
"So what is your view?"
"Insufficient data to conclude. But I'll answer anyway. The whole thing is being talked up. Exaggerated out of all proportion. International Western media groups are doing it through laziness. Leading with the same story every night for months like they did when they were trying to hinder the British departure from the European Union. Sheer laziness. At the moment they're more or less reading out press releases from the World Health Organisation every night on the main evening news. This is very poor journalism. This story should be a tail ender on news broadcasts at best. And they should be asking what the precise death rates are. They should be considering whether any statistic coming out of China or produced by Pharmaceutical Company allied interests at the World Health Organisation, can be taken seriously. That's the key question. The World Health Organisation is initiating procedures frivolously because it can, and it doesn't really care about scare mongering as long as its own power is augmented. They'll end up mass slaughtering herds of animals with a justification purely based on hysteria. Mark my words. They'll start the same rubbish that they inflicted on the world in 2004 with their hyped up Bird Flu scare. They'll do it because they can. There may be a more malicious con job in the whole shenanigans vis a vis ye aformentioned large pharmaceutical companies benefiting exponentially from unnecessary compulsory public vaccination programmes."
"You don't think a vaccine is necessary?"
"I think a vaccine is coming and the profits will be guaranteed if it's compulsory or government sponsored. I am certainly concerned about Big Pharma being in bed with Big Government. The apparent death rate from this virus implies the whole thing is shenanigans. If you get rest, eat nutritious food, have a healthy spiritual life, take exercise, you will not die from the Corona Virus. If you're living in the Third World or a communist country, where you're forbidden to believe in God or you're forced to pretend to believe in the Islamic conception of God, and your personal freedoms are zero, and you're barely fed at all, there is every chance your government will claim you died of Corona Virus in order to get World Health Organisation funding and international aid ie dollar investments for whatever running around in circles fooboon policies these governments wish to pursue on a given day."
"You think the Corona Virus is fake?"
"No. I think it's not that big a story."
"What's a big story James? In your book?"
"Tonight the Syrian government have just blown up at least thirty Turkish soldiers who had invaded their territory. The Turks are retaliating. The Syrians intend to re establish their borders precisely where they were before their Civil War began 11 years ago. They have the Russians behind them so they're going to do it. It's hard to pick out heroes in the matter. But personally with regard to Syria, I'd let the Russians finish the job. Recip Tayip Erdogan's Muslim Brotherhood government in Turkey which sponsored the Isis and Al Qaeda franchises during the Syrian Civil War, has no business on Syrian territory. I'm no pal of the Assad family dictatorship in Syria or of their best pals the Iranian Mullahs and the Russian resovietising President Vladimir Putin. But former American President Barack Obama's ham fisted sponsorship of an Al Qaeda rebellion in Syria (He said he was sponsoring "Pro Western rebels.") contributed to a slow bleed with no side able to win, and has left us picking between least worst options. I'd let the Russians finish the job. Re establish sovereign Syrian territory just as it was in 2011. I'd let them do it. Because that's what the Russians are going to do whether we let them do it or not.  The Turks are angling for a Third World War. Nato should expel Turkey and soften their cough a bit. Bear in mind that Turkey is now threatening to collapse its borders with Europe in order to facilitate millions of Muslims who wish to enter Europe. European countries on the border with Turkey, should enforce their borders with Turkey themselves. That's what sovereign nations do. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Jorge Bergoglio who is currently Pope of the Catholic Church, should both be fired for creating the present free for all with regard to Muslims posing as refugees forcing their way into Europe. All of that. All of that is what I call a story. A big news story."
