Things in the economy were getting pretty bubbly. Not just in China but in the US too. Going with the bubble metaphor, there's only two ways to get rid of a bubble -- you either pop it or you deflate it. But how do you safely deflate a bubble? It's not like everyone is just going to magically stop working and stay home until things have cooled off, right? Enter the new pandemics. Sure, way more people died in other things and we did nothing but now that it's a virtue signal to follow the quarantine rules, the economy can get shut off at-will.
I'm not sure about the statistics given here but....... there is no doubt that a tiny segment of the population have been planning and preparing to move against the USA petro-dollar for years now. https://www.facebook.com/bill.manuel1/posts/10158359609287652
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/russia/ Actually. .there are some cases in Russia..... but a strangely low number considering how much trade Russia and China do with each other. This could drive the USA, Canada, Israel and Australia into a win - win - win - win - win arrangement that could really backfire on China's plans???? This will take a while for you to wade through because I began researching this back in the 1970's when I was a teenager. "Should L.D.S. support rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple?"
That is what Mr. David Icke asserts as well...... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1281931295488126 Something similar was done after the USA Civil War.....
