Corona conspiracy theories...

I have heard a few including China create it in retaliation - but this one made me go hmmm.

Not many people have given this story legs but Trump and his administration have been pouring billions into farmers thanks to Trump's trade war. thanks to an old FDA law he has given more to the farmers than all the auto bailouts combined with no congressional review.

the theory goes - trump is using the virus - he knew it was a pandemic but delayed reaction to create this rush in the grocery stores - The demand for produce, meat and other foods is driving up the demand from farmers.

To even think that Rump plans or strategizes anything at all is ludicrous. He careens from crisis to crisis with no thought other than "how can I make this work to my benefit in this very instant"

According to Kelly Ann, per a clip on Twitter, FEMA has diverted food supplies, which is some of the cause of issues people have seen re: stores not being fully re-stocked. Make of that what you will.

Actually, I’d need the total numbers which are public. I can’t use vague comparisons - especially since Mother Jones and Wapo have been reporting farmers slammed by the trade war and ICE agency shenanigans without relief.

by Anonymousreply 4March 23, 2020 3:56 AM

The demand, though, is not for fresh produce and meat—it’s for canned goods and frozen food, things that were made with ingredients that the farmers sold a while ago.

Nobody in the Trump Administration is that sophisticated.

If Trump wants something, he just steals it. And he's monetizing the White House plenty -- security funding pumping his luxury hotels with undue cash + selling U.S. foreign policy to any dictator, for any purpose (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and possibly Russia).

So Trump is getting enough through more direct grifts and everyone is just letting him commit these crimes. So why should he stop or do something elaborate?

R15 lol, obviously you didn't follow the conspiracy theory, from the start the conspiracy is the virus was released by America to derail China, the hard hitting Iran, Italy, German and Europe are major players in China OROB project, and everything was moving as planned, until one unexpected thing happened, the strain mutated in Europe and went right back to US, remember in January the confirmed patients showing up sporadically in US but all under control, nothing happened, because these were strains from Wuhan/China/Asia, Starting February, the imported case from Europe showing up in Washington and New York, the mutated Euro strains far more damaging and contagious, the US was caught unprepared, remember the test kits from CDC didn't work, Why? Because they were tailored to detect the original virus released in China, they didn't not work well for mutated ones from Europe.

Didn't this make more sense than anything you have read so far? Lol

50-50 % chance that Covid-19 is either a naturally occurring RNA virus that made the leap from another species ( such as bat or that poor creature that begins with a P) just like SARS was , or the Creation of that level -5 lab in Wuhan that was Fucking around with CRISPR bio-technology. And by insinuating the latter, I don't necessarily mean it was done on purpose- some nameless tech or scientist got careless and forgot to wipe his shoes thoroughly or undergo complete decontamination one time. Though it * IS* interesting that a VERY similar specimen to the Corona virus we're dealing with now, was supposedly sneaked out of Canada to the Wuhan lab only a couple of years ago and supposedly the Pentagon is a BIG funder of the same place. So many threads leading to the same place...

I don’t subscribe to most conspiracy theories, but I can totally see this as being a plan to stop the Hong Kong protests that backfired. We know the virus disproportionately affects both men and the elderly. Hong Kong has a very large elderly population, and who was doing most of the protesting? Men, of course. The virus was manufactured. They wanted to destabilize Hong Kong but instead ended up taking out Italy. What a damn shame. That’s what I could believe anyway.

R42 no it's not just "80 yr olds". This was the worst thing the governments did -- making it seem like it only killed old people.

As far as conspiracies, the way it got out to the public will never be fully answered, but the response was definitely delayed on purpose -- we know this because Republican politicians were selling off their stocks ahead of time, while Trump was calling it a hoax. That's not even up for debate. They knew it was coming but used it tp their advantage.

They are still using it to their advantage. Look at how Trump tried sneaking in relief for himself, while Americans are losing jobs and have bills to pay. In my area of NYS, they have no one answering phones at unemployment-- it's been saying "call back", with an automatic hang up.

They are done being patient with people and don't give a shit if we die. ONE DAMN WEEK and they needed an emergency stimulus, but they still want us all back to work ASAP?! Come on...

If this wasn't the emergency they made it out to be, and it's all media hype, why are they debating bailouts? No billion dollar companies should go under that quickly.

by Anonymousreply 51March 27, 2020 2:34 PM

I'm with R29. I read an article that they were experimenting with genetically modified SARS-viruses and testing them on animals. Perhaps one of these animals (a bat or Viverridae) escaped the lab and some Chinese person unrelated to the lab found the animal, killed it an went on to sell the meat at the wet market. There is even an American scientist related to the lab who said that the possibility that the virus escaped the lab cannot be ruled out, even though he thinks it is unlikely.

CV not only seems to target men, the old and the sick, there are some preliminary studies indicatiing it impacts male fertility thus hitting on a depop goal at both ends. Of course, this would likely render countries more vulnerable as well. The fertility effects on men will likely become more clear over time.

Will many people have jobs to go back to, R60? And how many will still have them in 2021? Think about the longer term. So much of the curent US economy is fast casual dining, coffee, travel. If people do not feel flush later this year, even if the economy is re-opened, how many more jobs will be lost? With all of the $ dumped into the economy, what will inflation be like?

I have seen people online discussing starting a garden or starting to frequent thrift stores in the future. The curent economy was built on a certain level of consumption. Even if they have funds, questionable, will people feel like they want to get on a cruise? Airplane? Spend $100/mo at Starbucks?

This is not like the Irish Potato Famine where many emigrated to other countries with better economies. This is everywhere. Obsessing about toilet paper or memes is a distraction from the much bigger unease we all feel on some level.

I have been following the conspiracy theories as a hobby. Before I started to work from home, I employed this knowledge to make Trump supporters in the office go insane. I would just tell them one every time they brought up the hoax thing.

China rules the world. China started working on a virus that would only kill Asians. During it's development, it got loose. The plan was to release into Taiwan, Japan, SK, the usual suspects in SE Asia, then have the vaccination in it's back pocket. It got out too soon.

Janitor sells Wuhan bio-lab monkey or other animal to Wuhan wet market. To make extra cash, someone sold the animals they were testing to the wet market. Take it from there.

CDC closes biolab in bumfuck southern state for not being careful. This is a fact that the CDC did close the lab. China latches on and says that the virus escaped from that lab and has been in the US the whole time. They claim it was brought over when a military delegation from the US came to China for some big military meeting.

Canadian miscreant spy scientist. True, Canada did kick out a scientist that was a spy. Canada says that he stole virus samples from their lab, and took them to China, where they fucked up and let them loose.

It's been here all the time. China says that the genetic material of the virus is found in all the viruses that were going around the country this fall. They also claim that the vaping mystery illness and the kid sickness that we had that also was mystery was part of this. We let the CDC closed lab virus loose, then they say we exported it to China.

The other ones involve aliens, planetary alignments, comets exploding or currently due to enter the solar system, the new Atlas comet, Nirubu, and magnetism.

So when a Magamoron comes up and starts mouthing off, say yes! Then pick your theory, tie Trump to it and watch their eyes glaze over. Shuts them up every time.

by Anonymousreply 74March 30, 2020 3:33 AM

I think that narrative was tied to availability, R74, and the wish to prioritize masks going to health care professionals. Once there is a surplus of masks I expect them to do a 180 and match the recommendation of SK, Taiwan, HK, etc.

If you Google you will find many ideas as to how to make masks out of common household items. Not all require sewing.

I based my "theory" on where in the world Wuflu is most prevalent. The West. You could say that it's mere coincidence that the highest number of infections are in Europe and North America due to the high levels of contact, especially, as in Italy's case, with the city at the epicenter of the virus, Wuhan. Yet there are almost 250,000 Chinese working in Africa and more than a million Africans working in China, yet Africa has relatively few incidences of infection, and those Africans who were infected came from Europe, not China. Again, you could say that the Chinese working in Africa and Africans working in China simply had no contact with Wuflu Central. Perhaps . . .

But I just can't get past the feeling that this was a most successful experiment in bringing the West to its knees. An experiment that China can repeat at will, with no repercussions. If this is indeed the case, China has well and truly illustrated that they are masters of the world. And all of us are at the mercy of China's whim and fancy.
