WaPo Goes Batty for Biowar Coverup

Methinks the Chinese-bat-blamers protest WAY too much

As Yogi Berra might say, you can observe a lot just by watching what the mainstream Mockingbird mavens’ Mighty Wurlitzer is churning out. This week it was bats, bats, bats!

The Washington Post, even more than The New York Times if that’s possible, operates at the discretion of the folks in and around the National Security Council and related entities. So we may assume that a directive came down from on high last week to push back against the growing public realization that COVID-19 is a bioweapon…and to try to steer the COVID-as-bioweapon discussion away from the truth—that COVID-19 almost certainly emerged out of a covert/deniable US bio-attack on China and Iran—toward a “blame China” limited hangout.

This propaganda strategy hinges on the logical fallacy known as the false dichotomy, otherwise known as the fake dilemma: presenting two possibilities as if they were the only ones. A classic example is Bush Jr.’s mantra you are either with us or you’re with the terrorists. The third possibility that one is neither with Bush nor with al-Qaeda—and hidden beneath that, the unspeakable truth that “we” ARE the terrorists—is made invisible.
