Just Thinking (Carpet Bombed) 5/13/2020

Carpet bombing, devastating bombing attack that seeks to destroy every part of a wide area. Some military strategists characterize “carpet bombing” as an emotional term that does not describe any actual military strategy. However, Article 51 of Geneva Protocol I prohibits bombardment that treats a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located within a city/state/country as a single military target.


Beijing’s multibillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been called a Chinese Marshall Plan, a state-backed campaign for global dominance, a stimulus package for a slowing economy, and a massive marketing campaign for something that was already happening – Chinese investment around the world.


Over the five years since President Xi Jinping announced his grand plan to connect Asia, Africa and Europe, the initiative has morphed into a broad catchphrase to describe almost all aspects of Chinese engagement abroad.


Belt and Road, or yi dai yi lu, is a “21st century silk road,” confusingly made up of a “belt” of overland corridors and a maritime “road” of shipping lanes.


From South-east Asia to Eastern Europe and Africa, Belt and Road includes 71 countries that account for half the world’s population and a quarter of global GDP.


Everything from a Trump-affiliated theme park in Indonesia to a jazz camp in Chongqing have been branded Belt and Road. Countries from Panama to Madagascar, Italy to South Africa to New Zealand, have officially pledged support.


And now we come to the fait accomplis.  Sun Tzu wrote in the Art of War that


"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”  


The challenge is this: how can America's fractured democracy and diverse society respond to a centrally orchestrated strategy from China that ultimately challenges our interests and our values?

Some Chinese Americans and Chinese residents--perhaps only a relative handful--have cooperated in obtaining technology for China. And many Chinese nationals who obtained years of experience working at American companies have returned to China to help competitors there. The Chinese have a nickname for these individuals, haigui, or “returning sea turtles” who come ashore once a year to lay their eggs.  I wonder what the next step would be:

·         The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east.

·         While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure--and they were winning until President Trump took office.  

·         It was almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese, and, then, America started winning.

China's motives and secret attacks on the West began to crumble as America’s economy grew. China's most brilliant ploys were at risk, including:

·         Placing Confucius Institutes in universities across the United States that serve to monitor and control Chinese students on campus and spread communist narratives to unsuspecting American students.  

·         Offering enormous sums to American experts who create investment funds that funnel technology to China. 

·         Signing a thirty-year agreement with the US that allowed China to share peaceful nuclear technology, ensuring that they have access to American nuclear know-how.

This “Art of War” strategy was moving forward at a rapid rate with America losing its position on the world stage, and then Trump. 


What was China to do?  China had to act.  The Chinese Communist Party’s fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people meant they needed to create a world without those rights.  How?  


How about a virus pandemic?  


How could that be done?  Maybe: 

1)      Gain political control of the world organization, WHO, responsible for warning the world of a potential pandemic. 

2)      Develop a Corona Virus that could spread rapidly and quietly throughout a region before flaring into a deadly pandemic.

3)      Infect a relatively small, mobile population and send them out into the world to do their damage.

4)      Contain the virus within China to a few regions. 

5)      Control the supply chain for PPE equipment.

6)      Buy/acquire large swaths of PPE equipment from the rest of the world before the world recognizes the need for such equipment.

7)      Develop/work on a vaccine to combat the virus. 

8)      Team with world leaders in industry and medicine to presents the “fear” of a virus-based pandemic. 

9)      Offer the world assistance by providing defective PPE equipment.

10)  Watch as the world and USA economies crumble based on misleading metrics provided by China’s military resources.

11)  Step in as a “savior” to assist countries in fighting their virus.

I believe that we’ve been “carpet bombed” purposely by China’s Wuhan Virus.  


Just look at what has taken place in the last 4 months.  Some will say that no “right minded” government would infect the entire world.  Let’s look again at the spread of this virus.  Where did it start?  What country seems to have only minor infections/impacts from this virus?  Who currently has the primary supply chains for PPE equipment, medical infrastructures? Who has the most to gain if America losses its economic dominance?  CHINA!!!!!


This is not an accident!
