US Publisher: What if COVID Outbreak is Part of the Pentagon's Biowarfare Plan?_我的网站
一 | Pyongyang's assumptions with regard to Washington's potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic apparently stem from a bombshell report by professors Jeffrey D Sachs and Neil L Harrison, published in May 2022 by peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).,"Prof Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University had spent two years as chairman of the Lancet Commission on COVID and recently published a major paper in the prestigious PNAS journal arguing that the virus was very likely artificial, also calling for an independent inquiry into its possible American origins, but virtually all western media outlets ignored his dramatic reversal," says Ron Unz, an American technology entrepreneur, political activist, writer and the publisher of the Unz Review.,On 27 May, Sachs and Harrison released an op-ed for Project Syndicate, arguing that US authorities suppressed inquiries into the role US scientific research institutions may have played in creating the conditions of the COVID pandemic. "Yet if the coronavirus did indeed come from a lab, US culpability is almost certain," the professors insisted, calling for independent probes "not only into the outbreak in Wuhan, China, but also into the relevant US scientific research, international outreach, and technology licensing in the lead-up to the pandemic.",According to Sachs and Harrison, "the full story of the outbreak could involve America’s role in researching coronaviruses and in sharing its biotechnology with others around the world." The professors pointed out that "US scientists who work with SARS-like coronaviruses regularly create and test dangerous novel variants" to develop drugs and vaccines against them. These experiments, also known as "gain-of-function" research, have been conducted for decades prompting concerns that one day they could lead to an accidental outbreak or end up in the wrong hands, the scholars highlighted.,"In June, [Sachs] went even further in his public statements at a Spanish think-tank, describing the COVID virus as probably having an American origin," notes Unz. "In my opinion, Prof Sachs is merely stating what many senior figures in the West quietly believe or suspect but have been unwilling to mention publicly.",Situation in UkraineUS Has Helped Support 46 Biological Labs in Ukraine Over Last Two Decades, Pentagon Says9 June, 17:19 GMT,An Accidental Leak or a Warfare Tool?,America's experiments with viruses and dangerous pathogens have triggered concerns in Russia and China over the past few years. On 13 May 2020, Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov drew attention to a "dense network" of US biolabs located "along the perimeter of the Russian Federation and near Chinese borders".,Earlier this year, Beijing urged Washington to disclose the information about the activities of at least 360 biolabs in the world, presumably run by the US.,Since 2001, Russia, China, and many other countries have advocated the creation of a verification mechanism within the framework of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction to ensure biosafety across the world. Nonetheless, the US was "about the only country" which has categorically opposed this proposal for roughly 20 years, Lavrov revealed in 2020.,"Over the past 70 years, America has invested an estimated $100Bln in developing the world's largest and longest-standing biowarfare program," says Unz.,Situation in UkraineWhat's Behind Washington's Denial of Biowarfare Weapons Programme in Ukraine?12 March, 15:50 GMT,The American publisher suggested that the US could be responsible for the COVID outbreak long before Sachs and Harrison did. Furthermore, Unz does not rule out that the pathogen was used as a deliberate biowarfare tool against China and, possibly, Iran by "elements of [the US] national security establishment, though without the direct knowledge or authorization of President Donald Trump.",There are a lot of unknowns about the mysterious pandemic which is believed to have come from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China. For instance, neither a COVID-19 "patient zero" nor a "guilty bat" have been found, which means that SARS-CoV-2 may actually have been circulating among humans some time before the late 2019 Wuhan outbreak, according to CBS News.,In April 2020, ABC News broke the story that a special medical intelligence unit within the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in the second week of November 2019 produced a classified report warning about an "out-of-control disease epidemic" in the Wuhan area of China. It urged the US to protect its forces in Asia. Although a Pentagon spokesman officially denied the existence of that November report, Israel's broadcaster Channel 12 said the US had also shared the document in question with NATO and Israeli Defense Force (IDF).,It appears suspicious, according to Unz, that the DIA rushed to dub the mysterious disease an "epidemic" at a time when just a couple of dozen individuals were infected in Wuhan.,"It therefore appears that elements of the Defense Intelligence Agency were aware of the deadly viral outbreak in Wuhan more than a month before any officials in the Chinese government itself," Unz points out. "Furthermore, the New York Times and CNN have also promoted a major new research study just published in Science that found the first Wuhan infection probably occurred on 18 November 2019. This was after the secret DIA report had already been produced, but the American media has completely ignored the implications of this striking discrepancy.",Yet another strange coincidence was Donald Trump's appointment of Robert Kadlec as the top official for dealing with biological threats in 2017, the American writer says. Since the Nineties, Kadlec had been one of America’s leading biowarfare advocates.,"From January to August 2019, Kadlec’s department ran the 'Crimson Contagion' simulation exercise, involving the hypothetical outbreak of a dangerous respiratory viral disease in China, which eventually spreads to the United States, with the participants focusing on the necessary measures to control it in this country," Unz says, adding that before that China had suffered two inexplicable viral epidemics which hit its poultry and pork industry in 2018 and 2019, respectively.,Situation in UkraineUkraine Labs: Bioweapons Can be Used as Tool in US Low-Level War Against Russia, ex-DoD Analyst Says15 April, 12:51 GMT,History of Pentagon's Bio-warfare,Although the Pentagon's alleged responsibility for the COVID outbreak has yet to be examined and backed by solid evidence, one must admit that Washington is no novice where biological warfare is concerened.,The US was accused of using germ weapons against Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953) and China based on the testimony of at least 38 US military pilots.,In August 2021, Xinhua quoted witnesses and historians describing how the Pentagon used germ bombs in civilian areas in China and Korea to spread dozens of species of poisonous insects and germs.,And Havana leveled accusations against the Pentagon over the dengue epidemic in Cuba that contaminated 345,000 people in 1981 and an artificial outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) that led to the slaughter of 500,000 animals and inflicted considerable economic damage on the island nation in 1971. The US Department of Defense denied the allegations.,"Over the years highly regarded and fully mainstream American journalists and academics have published books and articles documenting America's extensive use of biowarfare during the Korean War and later as anti-food supply attacks against Cuba, East Germany, and other countries," notes Unz.,Recently, Russia's Ministry of Defense has revisited cases pertaining to the US history of biological warfare, while examining a trove of highly sensitive documents shedding light on the Pentagon's experiments with highly contagious pathogens in Ukraine. According to the MoD, the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) division ran a network of biological labs in Ukraine with the aim of inflicting damage on Russia's people and economy.,"I'm certainly aware of the Russian Ministry of Defense public claims regarding the Pentagon's involvement in Ukrainian biolabs, and the preparation of possible biowarfare attacks against Russia," says Unz. "I don't have any special knowledge of this issue, but the apparent public admission by [Undersecretary of State] Victoria Nuland at a US Senate hearing convinced me that there was a high likelihood that these Russian accusations were correct.",Unz argues that "American military plans for biowarfare attacks against Russia dramatically increase the likelihood that similar measures had been prepared against China and Iran, and perhaps actually carried out by rogue elements of the Trump Administration." Although US secretive biological programs and the Pentagon's overseas biowarfare labs have been triggering further suspicions, the topic still remains largely neglected and suppressed by western mainstream media.。 随着各家球星转会完成，休赛期市场也逐渐降温；而随着联盟各队阵容确定，媒体又开始为未来操心了。 近日，美媒BF对外公布了一份名单，分别是27年夏天可能进入自由市场的超级球星名单，其中不乏约基奇、库里、伦纳德、詹姆斯、字母哥、杜兰特、唐斯、浓眉、巴特勒、欧文等一批明星球员。 对于这份名单，仅从阵容来看，绝对足够夸张；毕竟这一批球员，基本直接代表了过去十几年NBA的最高竞争力。 只是对比来看，相比较于大多数下家稳定的球员，真正让外界讨论最多的，来自于掘金核心主将：尼古拉·约基奇。
二 | 从目前的情况来看，掘金的局面已经相当微妙了，一个很关键的问题摆上台面： 这位带队夺冠的MVP约基奇，会不会离开掘金呢？ 先从结论来看，目前还没有任何消息证明约基奇决定离开掘金，但问题在于他的一系列操作，确实很容易让外界产生遐想。 按照联盟规则，约基奇在2027-28赛季拥有球员选项，届时他完全选择跳出合同重新决定未来；而回看过去两个休赛期，掘金主动向他递上超级合同，但约基奇全都选择了等待。 时间回到25年夏天，掘金一度开出一份三年2.12亿的提前续约合同；对于普通球员这绝对是无法拒绝的天价，但约基奇选择了拒绝。 而后来到今年夏天，掘金再次提高报价，摆出了两个方案： 一份是三年2.14亿美元，另一份是四年2.78亿美元。 这两笔更高价合约依旧没有能打动约基奇，这就不得不让人思考了，如果钱不是问题，那约基奇到底在犹豫什么呢？ 理性来看，背后的原因其实并不复杂。 对于约基奇而言，现在提前续约，直接意味着少拿一大笔钱；而根据ESPN薪资专家Bobby Marks分析，如果约基奇选择跳出合同，他最高可以和掘金签下五年3.595亿级别的超级顶薪。
三 | 对比来看，五年3.595亿，年薪甚至超过7000万。 如果这笔合约达成，又将直接刷新NBA历史最高合同纪录，甚至直接让约基奇生涯总薪资突破7亿大关。 对于任何超级球星而言，一次足以改变历史排名的机会，约基奇自然不会轻易放弃。此前他也公开表示，自己打NBA的目标之一就是赚钱。 那么问题就来了： 如果约基奇一心想拿超级顶薪，那么掘金会不会对续约有所犹豫呢？ 根据名记Mark Stein报道，由于约基奇连续两个休赛期拒绝提前续约，目前联盟多队都在关注掘金内部情况。 摊开目前球队现状看，随着队中核心薪资不断上涨，球队未来大概率陷入奢侈税困境；甚至有美媒直接发文预测，新赛季掘金问鼎西部冠军的概率，仅有7%。
四 | 当然，这个预测并不代表最终结果，毕竟约基奇一直具备改变球队的能力；但对于球队高层而言，他们必须考虑一个现实问题： 为了留下约基奇，掘金还愿意付出多少钱呢？ 有意思的是，今日美媒预测网站给出了约基奇的未来下家预测概率榜单，而约基奇留队掘金的概率正在下降，反而是金州勇士，以5%升到了第二的位置。 焦点回到约基奇身上，现在摆在他面前的就是一道关键选择题了： 如果他选择暂缓续约，最终和掘金完成一份超级续约，他很可能拿下NBA历史的最大合同；但如果掘金因为财政压力而选择放弃，那么约基奇在其他球队最高只能拿到四年2.46亿美元。 对比来看，两个选择前后差距甚至超过1亿美元。 所以，最后把选择留给球迷讨论： 对于现在的约基奇，你觉得他该怎么选呢？。
