President Biden

Michael Olsen begins telling “the story of the letter”, explaining that it was “the letter that destroyed science”. Recalling January 2020, “when the COVID bleep hit the fan”, Olsen points out that it was described as a “novel virus” that came from bat soup. He points out that some people, himself included, were not quite convinced. He recalls a guest on his Food Chain Radio show who tracked down the original photo of bat soup, discovering that the photo originated from the CCP and was originally taken in an Indonesian restaurant.

Going back to the Obama administration, Olsen points out a petition in 2014 of 300 scientists to stop doing gain of function research, regarding the research activities of Professor Ralph Baric. The program was consequently terminated, but then taken up by the so called “bat lady”, who took the research back to Wuhan.

Olsen returns us to February 2020, when Peter Daszak arranged to have 27 scientists to sign the letter published in the Lancet. Olsen reads the letter, which suggests that the scientists in China were transparent in sharing their data. It then goes on to say that that transparency is threatened by the “conspiracy theory” that the virus may have originated in a Wuhan lab and strongly pressures the scientific community in condemning any such theory. The letter declared that there were “no competing interests”.

Olsen explains that Peter Daszak, through the Eco Health Alliance was taking money from various US organizations and using it for gain of function research in multiple places including Wuhan. Olsen suggests that the effect of the letter was to shut down any scientific research.

Olsen points out that the recent Freedom Of Information disclosures acquired by The Intercept have proven that Dr. Fauci absolutely funded gain of function research in Wuhan.

The Lancet recently published another letter, from a different set of scientists, who suggest that the possibility of a lab leak should be investigated. The article “The Death Of Science” suggests that the enemies of science are “politics, superstition and deduction”.

Billy asks how this “hard line CCP situation” will effect business. Elmer Yuen suggests that China was heading towards melting “into the global system” prior to Xi’s rise to power. He asserts that Xi intends to return private capitol to the control of the CCP. He describes a variety of Chinese industry that are being destroyed by Xi’s policies, suggesting that he is returning to communism and preparing for war with the west.

Olsen asks if the authoritarian push by Xi is a part of his strategy to win a third term in office. Elmer Yuen suggests that Xi does not have enough party support, but he does have control of the military and the police. Elmer Yuen suggests that China’s economy is “in chaos”.

Nan asks about the effect on Hong Kong and mainland China’s stock markets from the real estate debacle surrounding Evergrand, specifically with regards to the policy of “common prosperity”. Elmer Yuen explains that Xi is taking away power from big developers. He points out that the CCP once executed people for owning capitol, describing how all property ownership was eliminated by 1959. He suggests that all Chinese businesses will be returned to the state, starting with the big businesses.

Olsen asks what Biden meant by “cooperating” with the CCP. Elmer Yuen suggests that the CCP is the “enemy of the world” and if you work with them, “you end up losing”. Olsen asks what should be said to Western industrialists who are attracted to China’s large market. Elmer Yuen suggests that the CCP is “like a cancer” spreading over the world.

Nan mentions that the British government gave Hong Kongers with passports prior to 1997 have a path to citizenship in the UK. Elmer Yuen suggests that “according to international law” everyone born in Hong Kong prior to 1997 should be British Citizens, but explains that the UK has not fully honored this by adding further stipulations. He also points out that the people in Hong Kong did not have a say in the handover from the UK to China in 1997. He suggests that Hong Kong should not belong to China.
