Diplomatic Hobbyist Ups Ante in Lab Leak Controversy

[FOB FREEDOM, September 30, 2024] Any station? Any station? Do you read? Over.

Live from the world’s newest banana republic. . .

In an obscure, fringe conspiracy theory litigation, peculiarly arising under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and on what even the DoJ practice manual would describe as a simple, not complex, request for documents, matters are heating up before a frustrated federal judge who has even recently lamented about the “protracted history” of the case, prompting most recently a firm deadline being imposed against the White House to bring the case to some near-immediate closure. And, after what is now the third attempt to bring this litigation that has gone all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court not just once, but twice, this big thing that has somehow become that thing that came in a small package has now managed to bully the bully pulpit to cough up not just a letter, but also a 12-page sworn declaration, a fete that no prior federal court had dared even to attempt, and with pretty far-reaching impact in the diplomatic dance between two competing superpowers.

In China was, at least according to most accounts in the press, is where the novel virus had first been reported to have emerged. Alternatively, in the United States, several prominent leaders, promoting an increasingly popular “lab leak” theory that had begun on the fringes, had insisted that the roadblock in progress had been Chinese obfuscation, primarily centering around that sovereign nation’s refusal to permit investigators to have carte blanche license to poke around in their virology research institute, a claim now more intriguing after the White House has asserted a claim of sovereign immunity to quash, of all matters, a FOIA request. And even in international politics, where you sit is where you stand, altering your perspective in Rashomon-like potential, imposing a provincial and limiting view.

More wise and discerning followers of the blame-shifting and finger-pointing raging between Washington and Beijing have been restricted to key points, such as, most intriguingly, the dualistic alternatives of a lab “leak” or a natural spillover from an animal host to a human; however, taking either side, to a scientist, not a politician or ideologue, this presents what even neuroscientists studying stage illusion describe as an illusory sense of agency, like believing you have a choice when a prestidigator requests that you pick a card, any card, a performer simply manipulating a mind, prepared to be astounded and amazed to cooperate and select a forced card. This false dichotomy frustrating either of the two generally accepted theories is the secondary attack rate, or probability that COVID-19 was going to infect anyone, and which WHO officials had validated as being less than five percent in China, at the beginning of the public health crisis, a clinical assessment determined after painstaking review and examination of 19 times more cases reported in China by February 20, 2020 than had yet been reported in the entire U.S. by mid-March 2020, basic science that White House attorneys have told the court is inapplicable and irrelevant.

And, fixated on feelings, not focused on facts, the high emotional IQ, even if not intellectual IQ voters in the most educated municipality in the Commonwealth are impassioned by politics, especially during yet another presidential election, majority age adults tend to act, as Barbra Streisand’s Funny Girl had described, “more like children than children.” Quod erat demonstrandum: VA8 Democrats have now gone to the extent of blocking emails from the fringe independent who had been against the government response to the global public health crisis, a hypocritical posture for the community with the most government scientists, and in a party whose platform states: “When we do not have competent, experienced, compassionate leaders in government, the American people suffer”. “That is the case with the novel coronavirus.”  

“Well, Howard, if you had expected, especially after Nicholas Benton boasting about Don Beyer spouting off his thoughts about Hegelian dialectics and engaged in intellectual discourse was in any way close to the intelligence of voters here, let’s just say, ‘Don’t—don’t—don’t believe the hype, as the most reliable Democrat Party voters are wont to say, in that peculiar vernacular. Let’s as they say, do the ‘maff’. Negro dialect, which has nothing to do with Hegelian dialectics if you need to know. Even if not even the NAACP runs candidates for school board, por ejemplo—relating to the bilingual voters, like apparently VA8GOP, slap a Hispanic name on a sign style, somebody who relocated here from Florida, and now talking about unity in a congressional district in which he is a new arrival, a nice example of what Mister Special Forces knows about tactical intelligence. But I digress. Engaging in analysis, one might reasonably infer that if your most reliable voters are afflicted with an achievement gap, that margin that is providing you the competitive edge is not exactly Einstein, even if the epitome of the Einstein of Empathy, and not the go-to guy for anything requiring high level thought, to be quite frank, and as bad as our achievement gap voters are, it’s not just colored kids ain’t getting into Harvard in our second best public schools in the state. Cosmopolitan Arlington: just think of coming to Deliverance, meeting the Mountainman who lives on Cherry Lane and don’t forget to bring your ghee tar, but we don’t accept confederate scrip,” giggled uproariously Major Mike Webb who was admitted to the most competitive public college in Virginia as a designated “White” kid from out of state as just a joke he was playing as a senior, still confused by anyone claiming they were stressed out in senior year by college applications.

Examining Arlington Public School students from amongst whom some 43% defied the gravity of hitting the floor after falling from a chair, failing to catch an invitation to matriculate at 91% selective VCU in the “fall”, chewing bubble gum and walking at the same time may be stressful.
