Before getting into my main subject today, I would like to say this: Believing in everything you are told will not make you knowledgeable but only gullible. I was last night forwarded a link where a disgraced convict or tactless-wannabe mercenary was sniping at me to boost the serotonin and dopamine level of his low I.Q. skeletal fan base. Quite an antidepressant shot to a bored and depressed group, easily entertained by any ant-Sam Sarr rhetoric no matter how foolish. His opening lines indicating that I shot myself in September 1990 to avoid deployment by ECOMOG to fight in Liberia was enough to delete the whole rubbish. For I must have had in my possession the record-breaking crystal ball to know that if I shot myself on May 4, 1988, it will protect me from going to fight in Liberia on September 20, 1990. Yet still, the absurdity triggered amazing amusement among his moronic acolytes. It’s about time I started blocking these backbiters.
However, my topic today is all about Communist China again and why or how African nations must never be left out in the global campaign to hold the Mongoloids responsible for the genocidal-coronavirus pandemic. An action to be taken in unison by the AU and not by individual states for uttermost consequence.
Upon the confirmation of the ongoing investigation that the novel coronavirus originated from a laboratory in the communist Chinese city of Wuhan instead of from bat caves, as earlier believed, I think the world including the African Union should no longer be hesitant in calling the Chinese communist government to pay for the colossal damage. The idea of the virus emerging from horseshoe-bat caves in China indeed came from their scientists when preliminary reports accused the government of accidentally or incidentally releasing the pathogen from a lab.
It is now confirmed beyond doubt that Chinese virologists had been fiddling with the 2002 SARS virus in their labs that had infected 8000 people in China and Vietnam but luckily killed only 800 before its containment. One person killed by an avoidable disease is way too many, much more eight hundred that, proverbially, was a dodged bullet that could have been equally deadly or deadlier than COVID-19.
It is however baffling to learn that the SARS virus, discovered 18 years ago and known to have the potentiality of causing a global pandemic was since being kept in a lab for science games and still has no vaccine or a cure for the disease it causes.
What then were the Chinese “studying” about the SARS virus for that long other than to perhaps weaponize it for war that some experts believe was exactly what they did in this mysterious novel coronavirus.
It is nonetheless doubtful that Xi Jinping’s government will be that stupid or suicidal to deliberately release a “weaponized virus” into their atmosphere with no definitive knowledge of a containment mechanism; but the very reason that the world has been so vigilant to prevent terrorists from acquiring and detonating a portable dirty bomb for maximum casualty came to my mind as a probable reason for a frustrated and angry trusted Chinese scientist having access to the germ-laced virus in the Wuhan lab who, getting fed up with the communist system of government resorts into terrorism by deliberately release it. He or she could even do it suicidally like most fanatical believers would with the hope of maximizing the sabotage.
The Chinese only accepted responsibility when matters got out of hand and are still intransigent to allow international inquisition from foreign scientists to exactly determine the source of this coronavirus and its similarity to any of the 5000 strains they have reported to exist in their bat caves or to simply determine its homogeneity to the SARS virus.
Why still hide the number of Chinese killed that now jumps exponentially from 4600 to 700,000 according to defectors escaping the despotic regime?
New symptoms of COVID-19 are emerging and is no longer limited to affecting human respiratory systems but is now disturbing the human neurological systems. Infected children in particular have been showing serious nervous problems, psychological complications and sudden deaths. It all goes to corroborate a possible dirty virus engineered for war.
When or how we will put this pandemic behind us is still speculative, but the damage it has caused globally so far in terms of lost lives, broken families, traumatized persons and financial deprivation is yet to be quantified. And trust me, the next one will kill us all unless China is finally stopped.
In either way, if the virus was from their bat caves or from one of their weapon labs, I think all parents genuinely faithful to maintaining the safety and security of the planet for their offsprings should rally behind governments including African regimes campaigning to punish China deservedly.
While Kenyans started with plans to evacuate their nationals from China and the Nigerian House of Representative reported to have unanimously passed a motion on “Maltreatment and Institutional Racial Discrimination against Nigerians living in China by the Chinese government”, I think such piecemeal approach by individual African states will not yield anything significant.
A Gambian student recently interviewed online called on African leaders to solve the plight of all black people in China in a common front because the brutal discrimination they faced was on all Africans and not based on nationality. The persecution of blacks is said to be more prevalent in the provincial capital city of Guangzhou considered an immigrant hub for Africans and where blacks are still precluded from local MaDonald, shopping malls, restaurants, public bus services and from going to other places frequented by blacks.
Even the US State Department issued a warning to African Americans to avoid traveling in certain Chinese cities.
Typically, despite the videos sent across the world by the suffering Africans the Chinese are nevertheless still in denial to our leaders describing the evidence as hearsay and a “misunderstanding” spread by Western countries. As a matter of fact measures taken by the Chinese government to outlaw the pervasive discrimination is rather ineffective for there are no penalties enacted for violators.
Africans should therefore not only come together to ensure the safety of our people in China but should above all start drawing the Restitution Bill for the communist government to pay for this calamity and genocide.
Globally, the death toll has gone far beyond quarter of a million with the likelihood of that number reaching a million before a vaccine or cure is found.
Over a hundred vaccines are reported to be under trial although recent discoveries show unusual mutation of the strain which is raising concerns over whether by the time one is found, the virus may not mutate stronger to resist to the antigens being currently developed. If that happens with the strength of the strain remaining the same or stronger than its current infection rate and killing ability, then I believe the world would be in this predicament for a longer haul. Anyway according to scientists, if we are lucky, it could also get weaker and less potent.
No matter what, I will continue to advocate the need for the authoritarian communist regime to pay for this genocidal crime and to urge African governments to seriously work together on this one. In terms of monetary aggregate, the destruction caused in Africa has now far eclipsed the debt owed to them. They might even end up owing us, if we know how to go about it.
Thanks for reading.
