The Bigger Context of the Trump Speech

Commentary

Donald Trump’s evening speech last week covered the calamitous events from 2020 that we dare not forget, even if every effort is in play to impose amnesia on us. The networks refused to carry the speech. That’s for a reason. There is a conspiracy of silence. How long will it last? Not much longer, one hopes.

The actual content of Trump’s speech was ominous. He alleged a plot involving the U.S. deep state in cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to manipulate U.S. elections to unseat him from power.

Central to his case is that China conducted “the largest compromise of election data in history,” acquiring 220 million U.S. voter files including names, addresses, phone numbers, and party preferences starting in the 2020 cycle. He said this enabled nefarious activities.

To say the least. What these records indicate is a larger influencer scheme to drive Trump out and replace him with someone more willing to restore the status quo ante.

He further accused U.S. officials of burying CIA/NSA reports on Chinese meddling, downplaying threats, and telling the public it was “the most secure election in history.” Documents he released showed efforts to withhold info from him as president.

The entire effort was designed to undermine his 2020 campaign/re-election via business leaders, journalists (paid for negative coverage), and other means, including shenanigans to boost mail-in ballots that introduced massive opportunities for fraud.

The speech was revealing but not enough. He barely scratched the surface. He is apparently not well-served by his speechwriters. Or maybe something prevents him from pulling back the curtain too far.

Thus the speech was weakened by the lack of historical context from national memory. Nowhere did he mention the COVID lockdowns that played a central role in the entire drama. Remember those?

Here we have to go back in time to tell the story in context. Starting from 2016, major money and powerful people from the Gates Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, and the Wellcome Trust in the UK began meetings to prepare a pandemic response to the next disease outbreak.

Looking through the records it’s easy to imagine that there was more going on than mere preparation. It feels much more like orchestration.

They held a series of high-level but secret meetings to prepare a variety of table-top exercises and real-time “germ games” to map out precisely how governments should respond to a hypothetical new pathogen. They ran from 2016 (at least) until they dovetailed with a real-time experiment in social control.

Part of this involved preparing the inoculation. What was the virus and what was the fix, however, became murky in the course of gain-of-function research that had been greenlighted in the last days of the Obama administration.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as led by Anthony Fauci, backchanneled technology and funding to Wuhan, which China was more than willing to accept. 

As events unfolded the CCP played a central role in its research labs, working directly with U.S. researchers. The lab leak came at some point in the late summer to early fall of 2019. Six months went by during which time it spread to many parts of the world including the United States and Canada. This was well known within the intelligence community even as the general public, and the Trump White House, were kept in the dark.

A normal Christmas came and went when none of us realized that the following year would see such celebrations cancelled.

In January 2020, the propaganda push began with video reels from China, where people dropped dead in the streets followed by strict lockdowns that supposedly solved the problem. Italy followed the same course. Then it was the United States’s turn but Trump smelled a rat and delayed.

The World Health Organization in mid-February organized a tour of Wuhan, China, and neighboring cities, for officials from the United States, the UK, and the EU. That report came out Feb. 24, 2020. It celebrated China’s response. That report is still public on the WHO site.

Meanwhile, the WHO’s Tedros Ghebreyesus praised China’s “timely and effective measures,” “incredible efforts,” and the “strong resolve of the Chinese government and the devotion and sacrifice of the Chinese people” in letters and statements from late February and March 2020.

This was the turning point for the Trump administration. Trump finally relented and greenlighted the lockdowns about which he became incredulous within weeks. But it was too late. The bureaucracies had already been unleashed. There was nothing he could do.

U.S. bureaucrats in the agencies, well-prepared for years and already working closely with the media, wrote protocols for a full lockdown until the new technology could be deployed and called a vaccine. And on March 12, CDC urged universal mail-in ballots that the U.S. Congress funded with the largest spending bill in history.

Social media was heavily censored. YouTube announced that any content that contradicted the WHO would be deleted, effectively putting the CCP in charge of what content Americans could post. Twitter pursued a similar approach, along with all other social media companies and mainstream media. Throughout this period, only The Epoch Times among major media was willing to investigate the truth.

As one thinks back to this audacious scheme, one sits in disbelief. While they said it was only going to be two weeks to “flatten the curve,” the actual plan was to keep the country in a raging state of fear for eight months. China’s lockdowns were relatively short but provided the model for much of the world to wreck economic and social functioning for a year and longer.

Trump hoped for a release of the shot before the election but it was not to be. Fauci allegedly intervened to delay it until after the election. He wanted more racial diversity in the trials, he said.

Was the night of the election a triumph of many years of work at great cost? The vote came in, favoring Trump overwhelmingly, until overnight revealed a different result: he had somehow, mysteriously lost. The night and that morning I shall never forget. Could this have been a consequence of four years of careful planning?

The entire story is so phantasmagoric that it defies belief. Perhaps someday the public will be presented with the full truth. We are doing our best but face incredible barriers, including a media machine that refuses to report any of this—despite been presented all the receipts—because, frankly, they were in on the scheme.

What I’ve written here is only a piece of what can be documented but there are other suppositions we can make that only deepen the story. It only gets worse. The upshot is that the fear and reality of infectious disease, in cooperation with communists, were cynically deployed in an effort to disrupt and then derail the populist motion of politics in the UK, the United States, Brazil, and many other countries.

Trump’s speech only focused on a narrow slice of this, China’s breach of voter data, and the attempt to suppress this information. It was incredible enough just to hear a sliver of the truth coming out but there is much more to be revealed.

The catalog of damage from this period includes learning loss, social and commercial disruption, raging inflation, the compromise of media and it seemed the courts, and much more. But among those costs are how Americans have lost confidence in the integrity of our elections. This is extremely serious because the entire American system hinges on people’s control of our political system via the plebiscite.

What’s at stake here? Everything. We are just at the beginning of understanding and knowing the fullness of what’s been done to us over the last decade. Trump deserves congratulations for at least kicking off what is surely going to be a long process of coming to terms with the terrible truth.
