so Brad Johnson this is February 6 2020
00:04
and like I should say at the outset the
00:06
reason I’m calling this the Wu hen flu
00:08
besides the fact that it’s somewhat
00:10
euphonious it’s because coronavirus is
00:13
the basis for every flu so I just
00:15
decided that it’s not that meaningful to
00:17
call it that
00:19
although novel Karina’s novel corona and
00:22
19 or whatever they’re calling it it’s a
00:24
little technical the Wu hen flu I think
00:25
is pretty clear and it’s euphonious
00:27
there there seems to be I mean there
00:30
seems to be some data coming out that
00:32
might be not the kind of hysterical
00:36
panicky stuff that’s been passed around
00:38
Twitter but also doesn’t appear to be
00:40
the grotesque under estimates by the
00:42
Chinese government possibly in part
00:45
thanks to the fact that the virus is now
00:47
populating itself in both India and in
00:50
Singapore and very sadly Vietnam because
00:53
I doubt that they have the facilities to
00:54
handle it there but these numbers that I
00:57
saw actually reflect our discussion
01:00
about this the other day what have you
01:01
got for us today
01:02
yeah I’d say three different areas of
01:04
update to this and it’s and this is our
01:07
basically third installment on following
01:09
up on the MU Han flu will use your name
01:12
that you like and not a number of these
01:16
things were fairly easily easy to
01:18
predict I would say just like I said
01:20
this is stuff I’ve looked at for decades
01:22
so and I commented in the previous two
01:25
interviews that you can basically take
01:26
whatever the Chinese are saying assume
01:29
they’re lying and probably be correct
01:31
and if you for something like this where
01:33
it’s negative if you add a zero and
01:35
you’re probably going to be a lot closer
01:37
to the truth than whatever they’re
01:38
reporting and now what’s happened is is
01:41
there was some reporting out of a
01:43
epidemic situation tracker that the
01:45
Chinese are putting out and three times
01:48
now that has pumped in information where
01:51
those numbers are much much higher and
01:53
then after a couple of minute or an hour
01:56
or something like that it disappears
01:58
back out now there’s speculation as to
02:00
that somebody behind the scenes trying
02:01
to pump out the real information or is
02:03
it like a technical glitch where it’s
02:05
automatically fed into the system
02:06
automatically updates and is populating
02:10
the reports that are in the
02:12
this epidemic tracker you know like I
02:16
said is it somebody doing it on purpose
02:17
so you know who knows who cares but the
02:20
coming out of that are very very
02:22
interesting now this is as of January 26
02:25
so it’s late it’s dated information all
02:26
this takes time to sort of pump through
02:28
the system and get out to the West so
02:31
that’s why we’re seeing something where
02:32
it’s the information is you know we can
02:34
have 10 days old something along those
02:36
lines so at that point when this these
02:40
bigger numbers got pumped into the
02:42
system what I find very interesting out
02:44
of all of this is first of all the
02:47
numbers that that were reported was just
02:49
over one hundred and fifty four thousand
02:51
people being infected which was indeed
02:53
right just over ten times the number
02:56
that the Chinese were reporting so the
02:58
aDNA zero at the end theory that I’ve
03:00
been suggesting has was was this is
03:03
solid evidence that there’s good reason
03:05
for that
03:06
also the number of suspected cases at
03:08
seventy nine thousand which is four
03:10
times the official rate but those
03:12
numbers are are depressed for a number
03:15
of things which kind of brings us to the
03:16
second area of that and that is that the
03:20
Chinese whether on purpose or by
03:22
accident or just caught behind the power
03:24
curve don’t fish it test case so
03:28
basically it’s a swab and they take a
03:30
look at it you have results very quickly
03:32
at least here in the United States I’m
03:34
assuming they’re using something similar
03:35
there so you know within minutes just
03:37
what you have flew wise what version of
03:40
it and so on so they don’t have enough
03:42
of those test kits so I wouldn’t be
03:44
surprised if even at four times what the
03:46
official reporting is that it’s actually
03:48
closer to that ten figure but it’s
03:50
suppressed numbers because of those test
03:52
kits now here’s the one other
03:55
interesting asset aspect out of this
03:57
that lends itself to to being factual
04:00
the way that that the figure being ten
04:02
times higher is that the University of
04:04
Hong Kong did a study and they did based
04:08
on spread rates and percentages how fast
04:10
it it it can spread and what the travel
04:13
patterns are in China and all of those
04:15
things and they came up with a figure
04:17
that based on just an estimate
04:21
the suspected cases for that date as of
04:25
January 26 should be around 75,000 and
04:29
the figure that came out on this as I
04:31
mentioned was seventy nine thousand and
04:33
the Chinese were you know making it a
04:35
much smaller figure so based on
04:37
scientific estimates of spread rates and
04:41
movement of population and all of that
04:43
these figures that are ten times higher
04:45
or four times higher all look like
04:47
they’re true so pretty solid information
04:50
starting to come out that that’s that
04:52
those numbers are have been manipulated
04:54
by the Chinese not that there was a lot
04:56
of doubt about it but here’s the real
04:57
kicker officially at that point the
05:00
Chinese had reported 300 dead these
05:03
leaked number mistakes whatever they may
05:06
have been but it appears to be least
05:08
actual figures or mistakenly added to
05:12
the system as what we’re talking about
05:13
earlier had the deaths at that point at
05:16
over 24,000 where they were reporting
05:18
something along the lines of 300 so I
05:21
think these are the accurate numbers and
05:24
part of the reason is as these things
05:25
get leaked out in these videos that
05:27
we’re seeing the Chinese are coming in
05:29
and being very heavy-handed and being
05:30
communist they’re not going to ever let
05:32
a crisis go to waste
05:34
as often kicked around as an old old
05:36
saying and so they’re coming in very
05:40
heavy-handed and the authorities are
05:41
coming in and as we talked about in the
05:43
last update on this I think that’s
05:45
something that we’re going to see is
05:46
this spreads into Hong Kong in
05:48
particular and any other areas where
05:50
they don’t have full control I think
05:52
they’re going to use this as an excuse
05:54
also to consolidate absolute power in
05:56
these areas which they have not been
05:58
able to do with all the riots in Hong
06:00
Kong which as we’ve noted last time
06:01
those riots have all stopped so I think
06:04
that’s where they’re headed with all of
06:06
this and this manipulation of numbers is
06:08
eventually going to have to be corrected
06:10
out so that they have this public excuse
06:12
to move in and the heavy-handed fashion
06:14
that they’re going to and the reach that
06:16
they’re going to do you do to take
06:19
additional control of these areas is
06:21
going to far exceed what’s needed for
06:23
the medical conditions up with this with
06:25
this virus spread and some of the things
06:28
are doing that doesn’t get reported in
06:29
the United States at all they’ve got
06:32
this system in China now
06:34
where there are millions of cameras set
06:37
up that are watching all the people
06:38
full-face recompressing recognition and
06:41
all sorts of control aspects built into
06:44
this and it’s China wide and it has
06:46
spread even into been installed and even
06:49
small villages out in the countryside
06:50
and they now have a scoring system where
06:53
the Chinese citizens are scored by their
06:55
behavior and if you get a higher score
06:58
you know you’re more trustworthy and
06:59
access to other jobs or whatever access
07:02
to purchase things you need and if
07:05
you’re lower scored on the system you
07:07
start getting barred from all of these
07:09
things so it is an absolute method of
07:12
control but that has not extended into
07:14
all of these areas but I think that’s
07:15
one of the very first things you’ll see
07:17
then you start to install these cameras
07:19
as this this sort of control there’s I
07:21
forget the actual figure it’s floating
07:23
around out there but it’s certainly in
07:25
the tens of millions of these cameras
07:26
and the supporting system face
07:28
recognition programs all of that stuff
07:30
is already in place up and being used
07:32
and it’s just an absolute form of
07:34
control that were that we’re seeing out
07:36
of China so I think that’s where this is
07:38
headed and some of the other things that
07:41
are starting to get leaked out is that
07:43
that because they don’t have test kits
07:46
the numbers as I mentioned are
07:47
underreported for the total number of
07:49
people have infected the number of
07:51
deaths what they’re doing is marked that
07:53
doctors are being forced by the Chinese
07:55
authorities to mark cause of death to
07:57
something else there’s been dozens of
07:59
reports by people leaking stuff out
08:02
saying that that’s true it’s not one or
08:04
two people now we’re starting to see
08:05
dozens and scores of these types of
08:08
reports leak out of China and I don’t
08:10
know if anyone’s interested in following
08:11
it the the source for a lot of this
08:13
stuff is Taiwan and so Taiwan is picking
08:15
up all of this stuff and they’re very
08:17
worried about trying to keep this in
08:19
because Taiwan is probably the number
08:21
one target of the Chinese you know to be
08:24
conquered again if you will so they’re
08:26
very worried about how well this is
08:28
going to play out watching it very
08:29
closely so they’re an excellent source
08:30
to kind of keep your finger on the pulse
08:32
of what seems to be really happening out
08:34
there in China but yeah it’s it’s a mess
08:36
they’re lying on it they’re manipulating
08:39
it and they’re gonna use it absolutely
08:41
at least in my opinion now to extend
08:45
their control and they’ve got all the
08:46
methods saying
08:47
eat already there like I said the
08:49
cameras and other things that are
08:50
economic controls that they have over
08:52
the population they’re going to
08:53
implement all of this stuff when they
08:55
move in for the medical excuses that
08:58
they’ll have based on this flu so you
08:59
can expect those numbers of theirs to
09:01
start to grow as this expands not that
09:04
they’ll ever tell the truth completely
09:05
but enough to excuse what they really
09:07
want to do which is go ahead and
09:09
business crisis to go ahead can take
09:11
control of areas that have been fighting
09:14
them and I’m sure they would love to see
09:16
this spread to Taiwan where they in you
09:19
know for Brotherhood reasons a good of
09:22
all mankind they can sweep in and help
09:24
the medical situations I want but taking
09:27
absolute control so I think they would
09:30
love to see this play out that way we’ll
09:32
see how it goes pretty sure that we will
09:35
be able to test that theory because if
09:37
China would love to see it spread to
09:39
Taiwan they will spread it to Taiwan yes
09:41
great it’s not that it’s they would not
09:44
leave something like that up to chance
09:45
although they appear to leave the
09:48
isolation of the virus itself somewhat
09:50
up to chance and I’d like to just
09:52
actually use this opportunity to leave
09:55
an open-ended question which would be
09:57
for any scientist that actually has a
10:00
background a biologist or doctor in
10:03
viral adji because it seems to me that
10:05
given the new mortality rate which looks
10:08
like it’s between 15 and 20% I forgot
10:10
about that but but right okay so given
10:14
the new mortality rate figures which
10:16
look to be accurately between 15 and 20%
10:18
which is you know Eboli believe is 50 so
10:22
Ebola doesn’t really present that much
10:25
of a threat because it burns itself out
10:27
so quickly in populations and it’s it
10:31
doesn’t spread even despite the fact
10:33
that African tribes in that region have
10:35
customs like touching the body of the
10:37
dead which can’t be stopped or robbing
10:41
corpses and so on and so on which would
10:43
really spread that disease it doesn’t
10:46
the disease usually doesn’t get that far
10:48
out of hand because it’s so virulent and
10:50
it kills so quickly it doesn’t get the
10:52
chance to spread this disease so looks
10:54
like it’s contagious for two weeks
10:57
before symptoms even appear on the
10:59
carrier
10:59
and with a mortality rate of 15 to 20
11:02
percent and I don’t even know how to
11:04
graph the increased contagiousness of
11:08
this one the absolute number of people
11:11
who may die from it could be staggering
11:13
yes and the University of Hong Kong in
11:16
their their reports they’re following
11:18
those sorts of things and I are trying
11:20
to graph it out and they’re you know
11:22
solid academic sort of look at this it’s
11:26
not there nobody’s of the Communist
11:28
Chinese so you’re they’re probably the
11:31
most accurate source for for what you’re
11:33
suggesting there and I’ll also say is
11:37
this plays forward and these things that
11:38
I’ve been predicting you know continue
11:41
to be confirmed as we see this play
11:42
forward I I look at this as overall just
11:47
absolute 100% confirmation of what I’ve
11:50
been saying for a very long time now and
11:52
that is that the Chinese the Communist
11:54
Chinese represent the single largest
11:56
long-term threat to United States and
11:59
Western national security they are the
12:02
main threat out of this and our head and
12:05
shoulders of a as a threat above all the
12:08
other threats now there’s obviously more
12:10
but they’re the the 600-pound gorilla in
12:13
the room compared to the other guys
12:15
because they’re clear goal is to expand
12:18
and conquer other areas around them
12:20
there’s no question they are almost
12:23
certainly going to reconquer completely
12:25
Hong Kong Taiwan is on the list the even
12:28
southern South Pacific all the way down
12:31
South China Sea South Pacific all the
12:33
way down to Australia they’re very
12:35
aggressive and really trying hard to
12:37
expand I mean building our islands and
12:39
militarizing them in the South China Sea
12:41
all these sorts of things they are the
12:43
long-term strategic threat and to the
12:47
west to the United States and the West
12:48
so I think they’re going to use this to
12:51
the full extent that they can and just
12:53
as one again solid evidence and proof of
12:55
just the danger that they represent and
12:59
I would add one last little thing that
13:00
that was the that I wanted to get to and
13:03
that is we’ve seen the Secretary of
13:06
Agriculture and and the president’s
13:11
economic advisor come out and
13:12
comments that that China’s not going to
13:16
be able to fulfill its trade agreements
13:19
I find that very interesting in the
13:21
timing is interesting this is all taking
13:23
place in the last three three days now
13:25
if you take China two figures at face
13:28
value and they’re saying well we’ve only
13:30
got 300 300 dead in a country China is
13:32
nothing I mean that’s just insignificant
13:34
statistically you know people are
13:38
dieting much higher rates for all sorts
13:40
of other reasons than 300 people over up
13:43
whatever defenses this virus has come
13:45
out over the last bumper to that’s fully
13:47
insignificant number and also the
13:48
numbers that they’re reporting of people
13:50
infected a few thousand and all of that
13:52
it’s just so minor in the skin things if
13:55
you were to take those at face value why
13:58
would you conclude that these trade
14:01
agreements aren’t going to be fulfilled
14:02
so I find that a very interesting
14:04
disconnect that the US government and
14:07
and Larry Kudlow is the economic advisor
14:10
and the Secretary of Agriculture the two
14:13
people that have come out and said you
14:14
know yeah they’re not going to be able
14:16
to fulfill their purchases nor their
14:17
their agreement to open their market and
14:19
these sorts of things so that timing is
14:23
God so clearly behind the scenes more is
14:28
going on I don’t know exactly what but
14:30
it’s a fair indicator that when you’re
14:32
having especially Larry Kudlow but also
14:34
Secretary of Agriculture you know these
14:36
guys are are know this stuff and they’re
14:39
already saying China’s not going to
14:40
fulfill this agreement why why would
14:43
they be coming out why would they be
14:44
coming out now but yet they acknowledge
14:47
that this is having this impact on the
14:49
chaney economy to the degree that they
14:52
can’t do agricultural purchases with if
14:55
it’s only 300 dead and a few thousand
14:57
infected a few tens of thousand or ten
14:59
thousand infected something these the
15:01
official numbers flexo it’s it’s
15:03
interesting timing i i’m we can see how
15:06
this plays out and why the US government
15:09
now not the president not the white
15:10
house but these other people are
15:12
starting to say these numbers are not
15:15
going to be fulfilled by the chinese so
15:17
interesting aspect of it certainly is an
15:19
even if i give them the benefit of the
15:21
doubt it doesn’t make sense because
15:23
you’d think they’d want to outsource as
15:25
much food
15:25
as they could given that moving goods
15:28
around in China is clearly the worst
15:31
possible thing they could do Brad
15:32
Johnson thank you so much great update
15:34
this is again February the six 2020
