Since the beginning of March, fear of the virus has slowly entered global conversation. Last year saw the beginning of a new worldwide wave of revolts against capitalist normality, and the much manipulated institutionalisation seems to be collapsing from all sides, leaving room not only for insurgent creativity but also for populism as well as the products of fascist mentalities.
The economy has been losing speed for some time, but the trade war between two declining powers, the manufactured uncertainty in the price of oil, and the paralysis caused by operation Covid-19, built the perfect storm to leave the stock market and its tangle of speculative fictions in free fall.
By now it is clear that governments are not enough, and their only objective is to ensure the free movement of capital. Some whisper that it is a strategy by the lower-hand to reshuffle some cards in their favour. Some believe that a disease wiped out a portion of Americas biggest enemies because of bat soup in Wuhan. In both cases, we are clear that the intelligent fascist approve the closed borders, and that the government’s incompetence requires no more justification than its own class interests. What we are yet to comprehend is that coronavirus is the beginning of the realisation of the notorious World War Three.
Simulations of insurrection, urban warfare and absolute states of emergency have been deployed on the streets of China, Italy and other parts of the world. In Italy (the country that homed the first recorded bio-attack) 27 prisons were taken over, many people were killed, police and prison officers were kidnapped and hundreds of prisoners escaped. Chilean pharmacies were looted clean, an uncertainty pollutes trust in the military. A major void has been created in Iranian leadership, bringing strong flashbacks of operation Ajax. The second-strongest NATO member is Israel-backed and pro-sharia. America has been forced out of almost every point it enjoyed control over in MENA. The worldwide community is experiencing the silence before the storm, a revolt is coming. The people are in search of a feeling they are strangers to. Words unfamiliar to the liberal people of the world are flushed through TV channels. ‘Defence’ and ‘enemy’ are increasingly on the agenda, you’d almost think operation Covid-19 was some form of preparation.
Nevertheless, this war must be well understood in every aspect of its very-multi dimensions. While evidently taking the form of a last push for a decaying system, namely capitalist modernity, the forced “social distancing”, a nefarious euphemism that refers to self-isolation, forced prevarication disguised as “tele-working”, hoarding of essential goods, the contamination of fear, and the denial of any form of community are parallel to the militarisation policies being fed through state-owned outlets.
We had been made aware that the first patient (Patient Zero) admitted to Wuhan’s Jinyintan Hospital on December 1 had never been to the wet market (Ground Zero). Beijing is carefully, incrementally shaping the narrative that, from the beginning of the coronovirus attack, the leadership knew it was under a hybrid war attack. Xi’s terminology is a major clue. He said, on the record, that this was war. And, as a counter-attack, a “people’s war” had to be launched.
Moreover, he described the virus as a demon or devil. Xi is a Confucianist. Unlike some other ancient Chinese thinkers, Confucius was loath to discuss supernatural forces and judgement in the afterlife. However, in a Chinese cultural context, devil means “white devils” or “foreign devils”: guailo in Mandarin, gweilo in Cantonese. This was Xi delivering a powerful statement in code.
