“BEIJING WILL PAY”

There appears to be a general US plan to open a judicial front against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for alleged responsibility for the current pandemic. Other brilliant ideas of Trump?

By Charles H Slim

In previous weeks we saw how a New York law firm headed by media lawyer Larry Klayman, made noise in the media boasting to file a billion-dollar lawsuit for the alleged malicious spread of the COVID 19 virus (as a biological weapon) against the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China before the stages of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The argumentative basis to sustain this company is based on the aforementioned "confidential sources" of intelligence (which, as in the case of Iraq, are unverifiable) that ensure that the Coronavirus came from a laboratory outside Wuhan and based on that theory, the neoconservative sectors of Washington speak of the "Wuhan Virus". Likewise, and despite these accusations, the chronology of the events guarantees the correct behavior of China in the fight against this outbreak. Although the plaintiffs purport to argue that China was negligent in failing to contain the virus and that they did not timely inform Washington, the facts demonstrate otherwise.

Beyond the fact that the lawsuit demonstrates the hypocrisy of the American political and judicial system that has customarily refused to accept the jurisdiction and jurisdiction of international courts such as the International Criminal Court itself, we pointed out at that time the partial vision and the weak arguments that Klayman presented in his complaint[1], pretending to victimize the United States for a situation from which he had come -secretly- participating for decades behind the scenes of his citizenship.

These collective initiatives join others filed by the states of Texas, Florida, California and Nevada brought before the federal courts. The chances of success of the four lawsuits filed seem remote due to the existence of the 1976 Foreign Sovereignty Immunity Law that prevents a lawsuit against foreign states from being heard in federal courts.

Despite the legislation that prevents the prosecution of a foreign state in the federal courts without its consent, Klayman and the attorneys general of each state try to open the instance alleging that international Treaties and Conventions have been violated and that the pandemic has its origin in a "terrorist attack".

From what we are seeing at this point, in the face of the failure of trade sanctions and the counterproductive “appearance” of the Coronavirus within the United States, the strategy to try to contain China will from this moment pass through the judicial lanes and for what you see, it will be faced as it has been done with its military campaigns against a hostile country, using a Coalition.

In recent days it has been known that Washington's expectations will be joined by Australia, an accustomed colleague in the dirty business of intervention (backed by liberal internationalism) against other countries that could well be brought before the international stage by an infinity of War crimes and crimes against humanity that he helped to carry out in his participation against Iraq in 2003 and his subsequent tasks during the occupation. Has Sidney contemplated appearing before the International Criminal Court to testify about his participation in the massacres against the Iraqis? Or even how would it proceed if the Baghdad government filed a war crimes and humanity suit before the International Criminal Court?

Joined to this company is the proposal for the lawsuit of the attorney general of the state of Missouri Erick Schmitt, who with the same emphatic tone and with some improvements in the arguments, calls for justice for the supposed and malicious intention of spreading the Coronavirus that, in addition to The contagion of almost a million people and the killing of more than 50,000 Americans has caused the bankruptcy of several companies, unemployment and a possible economic depression.

Just as the current Coronavirus, predecessor CoV agents (are a family of RNA viruses) had been developed and patented by virologists from US biological warfare laboratories, the so-called "Spanish Flu" of 1918 and 1919 was far from originating in the Iberian Peninsula as the media repeat that Plague actually had its origin in Kansas, USA, but Spain did not make any demand.

The current US public internal debt reaches 24 trillion dollars, making it clear that the Federal Reserve has been creating money per meter as if it were toilet paper and many Americans are asking who is supervising this? Well no one. When this is over, the last person interested in investigating thoroughly how the current pandemic occurred and its consequences on the health of the population is the same Donald Trump and his partners behind the dirty business.

On the latter, the White House has been maneuvering against the clock to try to explain to the American public "why" the United States is suffering from the health catastrophe as it is being suffered especially by the most unfortunate sectors of the population. After Trump's delusional advice on how to fight the Coronavirus by taking dangerous treatments with "disinfectant injections" and swallowing ultraviolet light, the Establishment in Washington was urgently faced with some smarter communications strategy. To do this, they are trying to mitigate the president's messages to the public with the direct assistance of White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, who until two years ago worked for none other than FOX emporium.

Baldwin Trump 

Equally and beyond personal talents such as that of Hicks and any team of reporters for consumption by the public, very little can be hidden from the mismanagement of the internal situation, much less serves to try to direct the blame Beijing. Not even Alec Baldwin could have done better by imitating the President's stupidities in his SNL parodies.

Another issue that Trump has not been able to handle and that he would like to blame on the Chinese is the economic and financial consequences that have led to the bankruptcy of thousands of small and medium-sized companies as a result of the closure of commercial imports and exports.

This has caused an avalanche of bailout requests for many companies that may well be on the way, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to private banks, speculative corporations, and speculative business finance capitals in the hands of guys like Sheldon Adelson, Jamie Dimon, Warren Buffet and Goldman Sachs.

Small and medium-sized companies are staying on the road as a result of that "speculative democracy" that identifies the American style where the most powerful tread on the smallest. Very few people criticize this customary maneuver of speculation by the most powerful financial actors who, by creating financial “bubbles”, end up sacrificing those who keep the country's economy alive. In summary, the only ones that will be rescued with those trillions of dollars will be those belonging to that "Plutocracy" that rules from "Wall Street". Some calculations say that the unemployment rate can reach 30%, leaving the depression of 1929 small.

It is clear that this is a new maneuver, a desperate one to cushion the damage control caused by the lousy government measures of President Trump and his person in charge of managing the pandemic, vice ultramontane Mike Pence, who apparently despite his incessant prayers together to the evangelical pastors and rabbis of the pro-Israeli extreme right, they did not succeed in defeating the evil that the "COVID-19" embodies.

Apparently the same World Health Organization (WHO) is also being targeted as President Trump seems to want to hold the organization as a secondary actor, accusing him of not having given in time or delayed clear reports on the origin of the virus. This also aims to cover the omission of the memoranda sent by the trade representatives from China months before the pandemic broke out. For this, Trump has withheld the funds for the organization with which he is applying blackmail tactics similar to those of the mafia; very democratic! don't you think so? A proposal to open a judicial front is supported by the Australian[2] government, which supports the thesis that the WHO delayed the announcement of the spread of the virus as a political favor to Beijin.

We are undoubtedly before a great smokescreen that, using the federal justice system and with the aim of using the international one, Trump and the US Establishment tried to cover the traces that have appeared on the role of the United States in the production of pathogens of War on its vast network of secret military installations around the world. Can you be so candid to believe that Washington is seeking the truth?
