I have family in China. They are going through hell with no end in sight. Pray for them.

This is deeply distressing and a precursor of what’s to come in other parts of the world (at least we have till the midterms in the US).

Quite astounding. I had the same reaction as you did to this horror, judging from your previous post. When I saw the photo in the WSJ of those pup tents (crowded together), the living quarters of factory workers forced to live on the factory floor, I knew this had nothing to do with "a virus." I wrote to the reporter of this article, but, of course, received no reply. https://www.wsj.com/articles/shanghais-workers-sleep-on-floors-to-keep-factories-going-amid-covid-lockdown-11648809322 Here's the letter (email) I sent: Dear Yoko Kubota-

This is truly a fascinating piece. It sounds to me like the government is experimenting with a way to turn workers into slaves. If anyone believe this is truly about a virus or "health" they would have to be smoking something powerful, and I don't mean tobacco.

Some obvious questions come to mind after reading your piece which appears to adopt the mindset of 2020 when many people knew little about SARS-COV-2. A positive PCR test in the absence of symptoms does not indicate illness, especially if the test is done at a high cycle threshold. All this is common knowledge at this point. Your article doesn't contain any information about how many people are actually ill. Furthermore, as we know from India, doctors in many other countries, and many doctors in the US, early treatment takes care of COVID and there are many repurposed drugs that have proven efficacious.

Beyond that, why is it healthy to live on a factory floor in tiny tents all packed together ? That is insane. It reminds me of the video I saw of newborns in a hospital wearing masks.

Are you really going to treat this in the way the Chinese government would like you to present this? Whatever happened to journalistic skepticism? I mean, really, this is beyond ludicrous.

Wait, what happened with the vaccines? I thought they were a success.

Hard to know where this falls into the PsyOp for the rest of the world, as China seems to be the first to put this type of insanity. It feels like the NWO is pulsing the Russia/Ukraine, Shanghai lockdowns and food/energy shortage all at once to see which one really captures the public imagination. So far Will Smith is winning.

No question though, the Chinese people are suffering terribly and the government doesn't care remotely.

There are numerous FEMA camps in the US which can be "activated" as detention camps. Millions of coffins were built years ago and are stored in Georgia(?). Why? I hope we never find out.

Lockdown sceptics (including myself) don't think lockdowns work so how do countries have zero covid if lockdowns don't work? A virus is going to do its rounds whatever. So with that in mind, either :

- they have lost their minds;

- they are trying to play the west again;

- they know something about the virus or the particular strain in China that we don't;

- there is another reason (e.g. financial reasons or hitting the west with supply chain issues etc)

This happens in every democracy. it is not at all restricted to this communist hell. But at least we now know that democracy is just a different name for a dictatorship.

There is another even darker, more malevolent and evil explanation for China’s actions; an explanation that does not require a belief that they are behaving out of irrational, insane ignorance. It is entirely plausible that the CCP is acting with rational albeit evil and inhumane intent. They are testing and perfecting their system of complete social control and oppression in anticipation of future events for which such a system will be necessitated there and perhaps elsewhere in the world. Furthermore, the lockdown of millions has the added benefit for them of reducing energy consumption at a time when oil prices have risen dramatically for a country with huge energy needs which must be satisfied largely through imports given their limited internal energy production. From that perspective, their cruel snd inhumane lockdowns make perfect sense to a regime with no moral constraints.

Coming to your country sooner or later. This is a rehearsal by the globalists.

“Beach softening” to program the population for greater manipulation in the future…. “You don’t want to have to go into lockdown again do you?” Well you better not resist this next (ungodly) measure then!

This would seem to be just about right for an unrealistic, totalitarian, science fiction horror movie; not for any reality we can even wrap our minds around!

you know what this means to Australia don't you? It means a clear direction for our governments to follow. The path for them to tread. They'll be champing at the bit. Slavering to get started.

Its already the norm, institutionalised, that democracy gets suspended without argument, at a whim: https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/emergency-declarations/emergency-declaration

So people have forgotten those vids and pics of Wuhan in late 2019?

Are there independent corroborations?

Some people are so easy to manipulate.
