# Arthur Koestler

But what if origin-tracing is not as hard as WHO’s operatives are making out? What if it’s just a smoke-screen for concealing the origin?

Arthur Koestler, an [intellectual](https://www.nytimes.com/1983/03/04/world/arthur-koestler-and-wife-suicides-in-london.html) and adventurer, makes a great point in his 1964 book *The Act of Creation*. To paraphrase:

*The idea that science is a boring pursuit that is impenetrable to the layman is a **myth created by scientists to protect their own patch**. By surrounding science in this **fog of obscurity**, scientists seek to keep themselves at arm’s length from the public, **avoid accountability**, and reinforce their own status*. (Chapter XI, Science and Emotion)

On the contrary, Koestler argues science is both *exciting* and *understandable*.

Using that as a starting point, let’s take a look at what’s involved in tracing the origin - it’s not so complicated - in fact my guess is the CCP already knows. [Dr. Daniel Lucey](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55364445) tends to agree:

  
*They (CCP) have the capability, they have the resources and they have the motivation, so of course they've done the studies in animals and in humans. I think it's findable and I think it's quite possible it's already been found. But then the question arises, why hasn't it been disclosed?*

I can answer that *-* coz the truth threatens the whole fabric of our expert driven top-down system? In China & the West.

Finding the origin is *not* theoretical astrophysics, despite what we're told. It doesn’t involve complex mathematical equations to determine unverifiable outcomes. It’s straightforward detective work dealing with real world details.

Here’s what we know:

The [closest relative](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2020.1725399) to SARS-CoV-2 is [RaTG13](https://jonathanlatham.net/a-proposed-origin-for-sars-cov-2-and-the-covid-19-pandemic/) at 96.2%, held at WIV. (Edit: since the time of writing a new candidate, BANAL-52 at 96.8% has emerged in Laos - an area from which WIV/EHA scientists collected viruses through the PREDICT program) (Remember, the virus discovered by Daszak and Batwoman [(WIV-1](https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12711)) that was heralded as the *origin for SARS-1* was only fractionally higher at *[nearly 97%](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-chinas-bat-woman-hunted-down-viruses-from-sars-to-the-new-coronavirus1/)*)

These related viruses only exists in a few locations in the world - notably the [Mojiang mine/cave in Yunan](https://jonathanlatham.net/a-proposed-origin-for-sars-cov-2-and-the-covid-19-pandemic/) - and WIV. Note: **None of them** are known to be contagious to humans without significant alterations.

  
**Therefore**, SARS-Cov-2 originated from Mojiang in Yunan, (or northern Laos), after undergoing significant evolutionary change via an intermediate species, namely pangolin - or - it was engineered at WIV.

Straight away that narrows the search down to a few key sites. We're getting close already.
