A WEEK and a half ago we launched a petition to WHO to open investigation of Ft. Detrick, the U.S. Army biolab in Maryland, USA, simultaneous with the book-launching of SovereignPH.com editor Ado Paglinawan titled, “No Vaccine for a Virus called Racism.” The book traces the COVID-19 origin to the U.S. and blaming U.S. racism for its scapegoating of China.
The petition and the book were both a hit in social and international media such that Voice of America (VOA) assigned a reporter, Mr. Williams Echols, inquired into my personal circumstances and asking if the Chinese government funded any of our activities along with Philippine-BRICS Strategic Studies, newspaper articles, book publishing and the petition.
I and Ado Paglinawan, were interviewed by Xinhua and Global Times, which also came out in CGTN several times in the form of interviews, reports and opinion pieces.
Paglinawan was also interviewed by a Southern China news network. The Western interests did what it could to limit our exposure; YouTube, for example, ruled that our media forum on the petition was against its “community standards” and pulled down the video.
Despite the limitations imposed by Western interests we are managing to grow the number of signatories and include signatories from other countries such as Malaysia, Australia and others. One of the most powerful comments on the petition page was from Australia, Ms. Sharon Stavrou explaining her signature: “Because America is pushing to blame China, prove your innocence first.”
Another signatory, I am told, is also from Australia, Danita Maddie, who has been very active promoting the petition in social media and monitoring it as the numbers grow.
I get the impression that Danita Maddie is a very young concerned citizen of the globe working hard to make a better world for all.
Lately, she has also taken up the cause against the U.S. diplomat in the Philippines indicted in a child pornography case.
After the Metro-Manila lockdown we intend to go around the limitations of the social media imposed on us by making the rounds of NGOs, institutions and organization to get mass group signatures. At the same time, we will seek an audience with the WHO Philippine representative Dr. Rahindra Abeyasinghe to discuss the petition.
The U.S. politicization of the WHO COVID-19 origin-tracing project and finger-pointing at China looks more and more like an engineered and systematic distraction from the more-than-ample-reasons to look into the coronavirus “gain of function” work at Ft. Detrick and other U.S. biological warfare laboratories.
The virus’ emergence in early 2019 in the U.S., Spain, Italy, France and Japan as reported by experts and patients from those countries is indispensable.
U.S. “information war” on a multitude of issues is deployed constantly and unremittingly through its still globally dominant news, media and entertainment networks.
The COVID-19 issues has not been spared by the U.S.’ “hybrid war” strategy, just like a very recent South China Sea disinformation operation that reminds us to be in constant alert to U.S media fake news.
A few days ago, the U.S. media sensationalized U.S. Naval War College instructor Ryan Martinson’s allegation of a Chinese research ship in the vicinity of the Scarborough Shoal that provoked the usual media into a minor frenzy.
Two days later, DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana denied the veracity of the report.
The U.S. continues to throw such disinformation to muddle the panorama and confuse, fool or smokescreen any issue. This is what they are doing with the “blame China virus” strategy.
Filipinos and the world must be kept alert to the facts, that the U.S. has up to 200 biolabs working on viruses within its own territory, and dozens more outside such as in Georgia, besides Russia, that the latter has been protesting.
The U.S. has subcontracted to Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) some of its activities but “never contacted, preserved, designed, made or leaked the coronavirus” the Global Times reports.
We don’t expect to match in any way the 25-million signatures Chinese Netizens gathered over the past month; our Philippine initiated petition for the WHO to open investigation into Ft. Detrick is making progress, and as we approach a higher threshold, the signatures would already be extremely satisfactory, given the limitations and the present myriad concerns of the general public.
We encourage our readers to sign up if they haven’t yet signed up.
