Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reiterated his accusation that China, Iran, and Russia have engaged in “disinformation campaigns” about the coronavirus pandemic, saying they were seeking to sow “confusion” about its origins.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a press conference at the State Department in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2020.

Pompeo’s latest comments come after President Donald Trump appeared to downplay disinformation by foreign states, saying “every country does it” during an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday.

Reports of the new strain of coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease first emerged from China in Wuhan, a large city in its central Hubei province. Research is continuing into the specific origin of the virus, which is believed to have come from bats.

But propaganda from states such as China, Iran, and Russia has peddled conspiracy theories about the pandemic, such as COVID-19 being created and spread around the world by the American military.

China and Iran face accusations of attempting to cover up the scale of the coronavirus epidemics in their countries, deflecting attention from their actions through disinformation and hiding the true number of cases and deaths in their official figures. Both deny this.

All countries who are affected by the coronavirus need to send China a bill for the costs encountered with China’s stupidity and not being able to handle this disease.  One Chinese citizen landed  in the U.S. and had a vial in his brief case and was stopped by customs and then the FBI.

My opinion is the release of the coronavirus was intentional with China working with the un-elected officials – WHO/Gates/Soros/UN/Obama/Pelosi/Schumer to tank the economy and then engage the One World Order and wealth distribution plans.

In the U.S. we can remove our debt to China and now we are even, plus all of the things they have stolen from us.  That is what happens when you try to help pull up someone by the boot straps like China.  Then they steal, cheat, and lie and try to take advantage of you.  You must always trust but verify –  and the U.S. officials didn’t do that which was part of their job.
