I wrote an article on March
19, 2020, titled, "All Truth Has Three Stages", listing them thus:
First, it is ignored. Second, it is widely ridiculed. Third, it is accepted as
self-evident. In this, I omitted something of importance. The second step
actually has two stages: the truth is widely ridiculed but, if ridicule proves
insufficient to prevent truth from gaining traction, hired assassins emerge to
kill the messenger, usually figuratively but sometimes literally. Only if this
final effort fails can the truth gain sufficient public recognition to finally
become accepted as self-evident.
My COVID-19 (which I have
renamed COVID-US) articles have to date achieved downloads and readership in
the millions in North America. They have now been translated into many
languages (including even Albanian) and re-posted on websites and blogs in most
countries with whose names you are familiar. A spokesman from China's Foreign
Ministry made a post on Twitter with a link to my article "COVID-19 -
Further Evidence that the Virus Originated in the US", saying my virus
articles changed the way he looked at everything, and wrote in his post,
"This article is very much important to each and every one of us. Please
read and re-tweet it." He also made a similar post on Weibo in China, with
a link to the same article, and that post received 160 million views -
confirmed by an article in the NYT.
The sheer volume overwhelmed
attempts at ridicule, causing great alarm and leading to assassination as the
normal course of events. I was then flooded with charming messages from people
wanting to "reach out" to me, in some cases "to better
understand" me, these including the US Embassy in Beijing, every major
North American (and some lackey European) media, and a ragtag collection of
various categories of misfits. Some pretended to be serious European magazines
requesting permission to publish my articles but clearly more interested in
obtaining my banking details and contact information (so they could pay me).
Failing that, they requested my physical location and address to
"personally" send me printed copies (or perhaps pay me a visit for
other reasons). Others pretended to be graduate students at colleges ranging from
Harvard to West Overshoe, Kansas, to Nairobi, Kenya, again less interested in
research than in obtaining personal details, contact information and, above
all, precise physical location.
One prominent journalist
from one of the US big three newspapers sent repeated emails at first with many
personal questions that were none of his business to know, including the reason
for my "low profile" and, most importantly, whether the Chinese
government was paying me. He then progressed to sending me reams of personal
details such as my birthplace, the number and gender of my children, the names
of former business associates, even sending photos of me from my university and
later days, and much more. Our mainstream media journalist-cum-extortionist was
hoping to intimidate me into a personal meeting. Others made more limited
attempts.
These activities were
concurrent with the White House suddenly declaring all COVID-19 meetings and
information as classified "because it had something to do with
China", and with Mr. Pompeo instructing all State Department staff
worldwide to "blame China" for the virus.
Then I received a message
from someone claiming to be "a fact-check reporter" at Gannett
publishing. To fulfill his mission, he seemed to need the names and places of
all my research sources, the names of "writers, officials or commentators"
(and collaborators) who agreed with my position, and, more precisely,
"from where did you collect the research in your article?" I didn't
reply, and the next day all my virus articles became persona non grata on
Facebook, all links and postings refused on the grounds of "fake
news" (for the protection of innocent Americans). All Wordpress accounts
appear to have quickly followed suit. Birds of a feather, it would seem. And of
course Google has become astonishingly selective in information it cannot seem
to find. As I have written before, the only value in 'free speech' depends
primarily on having control of the microphone.
These attempts failing to
stem the tide of public awareness, the platform which had been publishing my
virus articles was discovered to have suddenly removed them. I won't go into
details, but think 'NATO, CIA, RCMP, US Government', and not necessarily in
that order. Having failed to locate and silence me, the thugs unplugged the
microphone. The US censorship network is not only tightly-knit and well-organised,
but has more muscle than most of us would imagine. And no hesitation in using
it.
Which brings me belatedly to
the point of this email. My virus articles are now available in many languages
(and more to come) at: https://www.moonofshanghai.com/
It is necessary for us to
continue the momentum of the tide so truth can reach the third stage. There is
progress, and there will be more.
French virologists have now
concluded "The coronavirus outbreak in France was not caused by cases
imported from China, but from a locally circulating strain of unknown origin .
. .", (1) and, from other studies, that strain existed only in the
US. My information is that Italy, Spain and perhaps also Portugal have come to
the same conclusion.
Next, "Data shows
Canada's early COVID-19 cases came from the U.S. not China". (2)
Of considerable interest is
that New York is now feverishly telling Americans that the "Coronavirus
came to New York from Europe, not China". This is not being done to defend
China, nor from any sudden surge in Christian righteousness. Rather, it is a
pre-emptive move to deflect the blame which is certain to follow the
inescapable conclusion that Europe was seeded from the US. The basis for their
claim appears to be solely that the virus strain affecting New York and Italy
are identical, the blame attributed to "travelers" from Italy
infecting Americans in New York, while ignoring the fact that the airplanes are
not empty when flying from the US to Italy and all evidence is that the
infection occurred in the other direction. (3) (4)
Then, "Study: 2nd Japan
infection wave came from West". It appears that Japan's first infections,
like those in several other countries, were among a few visitors from Wuhan,
but "The virus confirmed in Japan had a characteristic closer to the gene
of the virus that spread in European countries than that from Wuhan", and
Europe's haplotypes appear to have originated in the US because only the US has
all the strains. (5)
Lastly, Australia’s Prime
Minister recently stated that 80% or more of all infections in his country came
from the US. (6) Similarly, Iceland
confirmed that some of their coronavirus infections have been traced to Denver.
(7) (8)
Then, the mayor of
Belleville, New Jersey, Michael Melham said he has tested positive for
coronavirus antibodies, adding that he contracted the novel coronavirus in
November, over two months before the first confirmed case was reported in the
U.S. (9) Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s
chief epidemiologist, said the coronavirus may have been circulating in the
country since November. (10)
Lastly, there is something
strange about the virus in Russia. For a long time, Russia had only a few
infections, rising steadily by only five or ten per day, then suddenly it
exploded, rising by 5,000 and then 10,000 per day. Virus outbreaks don't
normally manifest that way. The normal process is a steady increase and rapid
acceleration in the number of infections until it peaks, as happened with all
other countries. But with Russia, the infections were minor for a long time,
steady at very low numbers, with all the indications of an unsuccessful
epidemic. I would be very interested to see the genome sequences from the first
infections in January and February, and for those happening in April and May. I
suspect the two varieties are different, which would suggest Russia was seeded
again with another variety for a second attempt.
If I may, I would like to
ask that you forward the above Moon of Shanghai link to any friends or
acquaintances who might be interested. You are of course free to forward this
email article as well. In spite of the above hindrances, it would be tragic for
the public information momentum to be lost. Please help to give the Moon of
Shanghai the traffic it deserves. And, if you are so inclined, perhaps say a
prayer for failed assassination attempts.
My Warm Regards,
Larry Romanoff
