The Greatest Organized Crime In History

Review of "The Wuhan Cover-Up," by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The true story documented in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s new book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, has long reminded me of the Max Frisch play, Biedermann and the Arsonists, in which decent, middle-class people are unable to detect the arsonists who are hiding in plain sight. As one of the arsonists remarks: “The best disguise, even better than humor and sentimentality, is the truth, because no one believes it.”

Many Americans are still struggling to believe that the cadre of “biosecurity experts” and pharmaceutical company bosses who directed the pandemic response were the same guys who created SARS-CoV-2—the causative agent of COVID-19.

This cadre reminds me of John Leonard Orr—the fire captain and arson investigator in Glendale, California who is believed to have set 2,000 fires in a 30-year arson spree while serving as a key, official investigator of the incidents.

After Wuhan, China was identified as the disease epicenter, the WHO sent a delegation led by Dr. Peter Daszak to investigate the pathogen’s origin—the same Dr. Peter Daszak whose EcoHealth Alliance had played an instrumental role in creating it. Not surprisingly, Daszak and his colleagues concluded that a lab leak was “highly unlikely.”

To be sure, it is very difficult for decent people to grasp that their government agencies—including Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense—are indistinguishable from a mafia racket.

The Wuhan Cover-Up is an invaluable book because it documents in painstaking detail how this mafia racket came about, and how its activities culminated in the creation and escape of SARS-CoV-2 from a lab in Wuhan. The genesis of this racket is rooted in two basic elements:

1). The state’s incorrigible proclivity for expanding military power and waging war.

2). The fear of infectious disease.

Reflecting on war in a letter dated April 20, 1795, James Madison remarked:

Of all the evils to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops every other. War is the patent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

In his Farewell Address of 1961, President Eisenhower warned the American people about how ceaseless buildup of war-making capability could engager our Republic.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. points out, the COVID-19 disaster is the apotheosis of the complex that Eisenhower warned about. The early chapters of the book detail the history of bio-weapons development—the origin of the military-industrial complex’s ever-growing interest in weaponizing pathogens and creating countermeasures against them.

Following his fascinating history of this depraved enterprise, he shows the reader how it became focused on virulent respiratory coronaviruses. He then paints a vivid portrait of the key players and institutions that created SARS-CoV-2 by transferring American bio-technology to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, whose personnel harvested bat coronaviruses from caves in China’s southern provinces.

The Gain-of-function project that resulted in SARS-CoV-2 was predicated on the fraudulent assertion that one can predict which species of bat coronaviruses will likely evolve the necessary properties for making them infectious to and contagious among humans. The objective was to identify and harvest these viruses from bats in the wild and make them infectious to humans in a lab. These pathogens could then serve a dual use—namely, as a bioweapon and as an agent for vaccine development and testing.

This endeavor reminds me of the 1985 film Spies Like Us, in which the Pentagon concludes that in order to test its new ICBM defense system, it is necessary to launch an ICBM at the United States.

After SARS-CoV-2 monster escaped from the Wuhan lab, many of the same Dr. Frankensteins responsible for creating it then set about concealing its origin, and then used their purported scientific authority to direct the pandemic response for their own benefit and the benefit of their friends in the pharmaceutical industry.

As an experienced true crime author, I can state with confidence that The Wuhan Cover-Up meticulously documents—and presents the evidence—of the greatest organized crime in human history. The book is an extraordinary work of historical, legal, and scientific scholarship and serves as a reference work for all concerned citizens who wish to understand the reality of this crime against humanity.

If there were any justice in this world, the perpetrators of the cover-up would all be in prison.

If the lords of the the literary world have any understanding of books, they will make sure that Kennedy receives the Nobel Prize. Though not usually awarded to a writer of non-fiction, there is a precedent in the 2015 award to Svetlana Alexievich for her reporting on the Soviet Union.

If the American people have any sense, they will vote for Kennedy in 2024. In his education, intellect, and discernment, he towers above the doddering Biden and blustering Trump.
