Motive
Oneness Idealism: One Health and Totalitarianism love/need data centralization - with themselves as overlords. This has spawned a seamless collaboration between the CCP/western scientists/security organizations. They rely on the One-Everything movement for control. If it got out that Covid was caused by this alliance - that would be disastrous for those parties involved. Global Oneness? Run by you mob? Forget about it.
Genomic surveillance: Farrar is referred to by his colleagues as:
shrewd .. massively driven .. a visionary … not afraid to take risks ... an activist.
He has seen the future of disruptive unbelievable changes - knows it’s coming a lot faster than the plebs realize. The next 25 years. It’s already happening.
Central to this visionaryism is AI multiplied by:
the Genomics Revolution/Precision Medicine.
Farrar knows this is best achieved through the One Health approach in collaboration with the CCP - and security organizations - like-minded genomics/data enthusiasts - on-the-same-page - not slowed down by ethics or public questioning red tape. Beyond the reaches of accountability. Farrar is aware of the dark side but believes the good outweighs the bad.
On one hand: Covid is a God-send for genomic surveillance. On the other, if Covid was the result of cutting-edge science gone wrong ...?
GoF Research: The fuel that stokes genomics. Farrar is keenly aware of the public's ethics misgivings. If it became known that Covid was caused by GoF experiments, that's not gonna be good. It’s significant that Fouchier, the world’s leading Gof practitioner/advocate, was one of those invited to the Feb 1 teleconference. NIH also becomes culpable for funding/fueling EcoHealth GoF work.
Money: Apart from the gazillions on offer for those at the helm of the genomics revolution, the bulk of researchers rely on public-funding. Increasingly, China has become a source of funding for western scientists/universities - the 1000 Talents Program being but one such initiative. The surge in O/S Chinese students going straight into the salaries of Not-For-Profit higher-ups (what else you gonna do with it - it's not for profit?) All that would be disrupted (some disruptions are more equal than others).
The Common-good: Farrar is an idealist. Well-paid but it’s not the money that motivates him. He, like every powerful person from Hitler to Xi Jinping, like all the One Health fanatics, believe they are doing it for the common-good - to make the world a better place. Once you’ve convinced yourself of this, you are liberated from the normal constraints of morality.
The Great Unmooring
You’re now free to lie, cheat, cover-up - even mass-murder. It’s all justified in the name of a higher-truth.
Politics: Far from taking the politics out, our protagonists are radical political activists. (In a twilight-zone inversion - DRASTIC - the R which means radical (which can also mean root of) - are the sensible ones - go figure…)
The science community, with Farrar/Fauci/Fouchier/Collins/Drosten leading the way, in conjunction with security organizations (private & govt), Big-Everything, and the CCP (totalitarianism) -
that’s one mother-fucking-powerful force you guys have amassed there
Confronted by growing distrust of this untouchable globalism - the concept - as well its key institutions (WHO, UN, The World Bank) - it was time to take action. The form of defense in this situation is attack. Especially when you're packing the firepower above.
If not now - when? If not us - who?
Trump
The threat to globalism which had been simmering in the populace, on the internet, was then embodied by Brexit. Then the elections of Trump, Bolsonaro, Johnson. It was a nightmare unfolding.
Farrar’s NIH speech, months before Covid broke, was a call-to-political-arms. The hatred for those fanning the anti-globalization zeitgeist was intense - it produced an emotional/obsessive reaction - focused on Trump. They could not stop thinking about him. To beat him, it was resolved, we need to get our hands dirty. (Or put up a candidate with charisma - unfortunately we don't have any - coz we Onenessed charisma to death.)
We also need allies:
If the CCP is an enemy of anti-globalists, it’s a friend of ours.
Whatever it takes to win this crucial battle in the history of humanity - for humanity - it's our duty to do it. If it gets out that scientists/CCP caused Covid - that will hand him 4 more years to wreak destruction - for sure.
That can not/will not be allowed to happen.
This helps to explain your average academic's involvement. They hated Trump with a passion - that caused them to behave irrationally.
Power: An oldie but a goodie. Being the head of the One Health movement is a powerful Master of the Universe position. Unencumbered by election cycles, FFC have been entrenched at the top for decades. Power is addictive - it’s a bushfire - creates its own energy/weather - the mind will tell you to do whatever it takes to grow it. You will make mistakes along the way - don't worry about it - So thank you for your leadership and please: do never never step down from it.
Legacy: Be the ones who go down in history (by making history go down on you). When FFC/CCP talk about Oneness, sailing the rising tide of AI/genomics, you'll notice it’s with themselves at the helm - determining the characteristics of that Oneness in their brave new world.
Sir Jeremy, you will go down in history - maybe not the way you dreamt of.
United Front Work Department: This CCP organization, documented by Clive Hamilton, Richard Noske, and Mareike Ohlberg, has spent decades infiltrating democratic countries - actually all kinds. The simple aim is to influence the influencers. A key target in this movement is the academic community. Whereas politicians come and go, academics, like CPP officials, remain constant.
Non-Chinese academics(/influencers) are won over by a mixture of flattery, collaboration, money, power, the odd honey-trap. As Hamilton notes, the flattery aspect should not be under-emphasized. In a climate where scientists feel under threat from a populist anti-science movement, they are prone to the reassurance of a warm embrace from a system of government that understands them.
Especially when it comes to One Health ambitions.
The co-ordination whereby - the experts were saying the CCP was open and transparent - the CCP was saying listen to the experts: was not a coincidence.
It is evidence of the scale of the collaboration/corruption that exists - one that was activated worldwide upon the advent of Covid - to cover-up it’s origin.
The exposure of Covid as a lab-exit would simultaneously expose this United Front network that goes all the way to the top. Can’t have that. This helps explain why so many scientists were happy to play the useful idiot role. Not involved at the top but using their positions at universities to promulgate the cover-up.
