    I've heard and thought of the conspiracy theory of China intentionally releasing the virus. There are several reasons that they might want to do it, but the Chinese govt also fears instability and social unrest. Why would they do something that would challenge their own economic growth and political stability (such as this: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopoliti...ifted-police-beaten-their-own-shield-cop-cars)? What's strange is how they are apparently blaming (or some spreading the rumor) that the US intentionally released the virus in China.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/world/asia/coronavirus-china-conspiracy-theory.html

    Again, why would the US do that? No one would believe that. But then again, if China actually did release the virus intentionally, then sometimes offense if the best defense -- so they would accuse the US of releasing it on them.

    Joe Rogan had an "expert" on his show recently to talk about this. He claims that human biotechnology is not yet at the point to make a virus like we have seen.

    It is unlikely that it was manufactured in the BSL. Apply Occam's Razor - if a country is going to make a biological weapon they're not going to make it give you really bad pneumonia. There are far better, already developed, biological weapons research from the 50s to go off of developed prior to the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention.

    That being said, apply Occam's Razor once again:

    1. Wet markets around the world are constant sources of new interesting viruses
    2. China has a reputation to maintain as a world power and a communist authoritarian government - this is why they silenced people and are lying about their numbers.
    3. See (2) for why they are denying the virus originated in China.

    Now apply Hanlon's Razor:

    The lack of competent quarantine for travel FROM China caused the disease to spread. It's the single largest "trade hub" on the planet - the new silk road. Notice that places that have been hit the hardest so far do a lot of business with China and are located relatively close in proximity.

    People will continue to try to make money despite a plague because they have to eat.

    Don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. The only malicious actors here are China (silencing doctors, getting the WHO to corroborate their lie) and the WHO, who is on record saying that prior to the pandemic there was "no evidence it is transmissible between humans". China has become more malicious, now denying that the virus started there and blaming the US despite the genetic history of the virus indicating it's origins in China. Everything else is the snowball effect of collective human stupidity.


    I enjoy a good conspiracy theory as much as the next man. The problem is majority of conspiracy theories, this one included, do not stand up to even the smallest bit of scrutiny. Use your head. If you want a real conspiracy theory ask yourself why the fed is so excited to loan trillions to us.

    And when did they start caring about anyone, let alone old people, that's the fishy thing.

    Some countries, have went, errr bad flu, no big deal life as normal, people die and move on.

    Guess those countries haven't got facebook mind.

    For one thing most other developed countries stock market held up better than the U.S, many bottoming out first & putting in stronger rallies.

    Another major difference is China has a national health care system and coherent leadership wish we clearly don't.

    The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in history - we could only consume goods from China from the huge loans they gave us. They have nothing to gain from our demise.

    Bunch of muppets, that take 6weeks to make a decision, rather than 1 leader who says jump then eveyone just stays in the air waiting for him to say land, much more efficient.

    If this conspiracy theory were true, they would've just released the virus in NYC early in the winter months. That would've caused the most damage to our economy. I don't see why they would release it in their own country first.

    The scientific data points towards the coronavirus being of zoonotic origin. The most realistic conspiracy theory is that the disease was being studied in animals at the Wuhan labs, but it was spread accidentally by their scientists to the general population.

    China's statistics aren't low because they have a cure. They're low because they aren't accurate.

    Buildings, not demolition, melted structure where the planes hit followed by the top part falling onto the bottom and following through badly.

    7, diesel storage tank underneath caught fire, melted sub structure aswell.

    Finding the terrorists passport off the plane, despite a fire ball ( Why, surely they new who was on ) and the only plane to fly after was the 1 taking Bin Ladens family out of the country, are different stories.

    Media, had Bin Laden, despite zero evidence and the attackers being from Saudi as the person to immediately put the blame on, pick a leader in the country we want to invade time.

    9/11 was the new Roswell. And building 7 was particularly bad. Incredible stuff people come up with.

    The truth is, the truth is out there, but we will never know the truth.
