21st century pandemic timeline. A year by year summary of outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics for the twenty-first century. I have only covered up to 2019 when the pandemic officially started. I've tried to limit the timeline to "just the facts" and leave the conspiracies up to the membership. Feel free to add anything I missed in this timeline or to add something relevant from 2020. This thread was originally posted on ATS and the old RN3 and is the most current version of those threads.

2002
The 2002–2004 SARS outbreak was an epidemic involving severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by . . . coronavirus (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1). The outbreak was first identified in Foshan, Guangdong, China, on 16 November 2002. Over 8,000 people from 29 different countries and territories were infected, and at least 774 died worldwide.

Chinese scientist Shi Zhengli found the closest match to COVID-19 in samples of bat faeces taken during research in 2012. It was found after six men were struck down with fever, coughs and pneumonia, half of them fatally, after working in the mineshaft. Source: Daily Express UK

In April 2012, six miners in the Mojiang mine in southwestern China’s Yunnan province fell ill after spending more than 14 days removing bat feces. Three eventually died . . . The doctor also sent sample tissues from the miners to the Wuhan lab, a focal point of coronavirus research in China. There, scientists found the source of infection was a SARS-like coronavirus from a Chinese rufous horseshoe bat, according to the thesis.

Latham and Wilson believe the virus — once inside the miners — “evolved” into SARS CoV-2, “an unusually pathogenic coronavirus highly adapted to humans,” and the samples somehow escaped from the lab last year, launching what has morphed into the coronavirus pandemic.

. . . In fact, Shi Zhengli, a virologist at the Wuhan lab who is known as “the batwoman” for her extensive research into bat-derived coronaviruses, told Scientific American in June that the miners had died from a fungal infection, “although it would have been only a matter of time before they caught the coronaviruses if the mine had not been promptly shut,” the magazine reported.

The documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday detail a major project called 'the discovery of animal-delivered pathogens carried by wild animals', which set out to find organisms that could infect humans and investigate their evolution.

It was launched in 2012 and funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The project was led by Xu Jianguo, who boasted at a conference in 2019 that 'a giant network of infectious disease prevention and control is taking shape'.

The professor also headed the first expert group investigating Covid's emergence in Wuhan. He denied human transmission initially, despite evidence from hospitals, then insisted in mid-January 'this epidemic is limited and will end if there are no new cases next week'.

One review of his virus-hunting project admitted 'a large number of new viruses have been discovered, causing great concern in the international virology community'. Source: Daily Mail UK

American Society for Microbiology, October 2012 , Dr. Antony Fauci acknowledged the risky research could lead to serious lab accidents but the chance is rare and the work is “important” because it helps the scientific community prepare for naturally occurring pandemics. Dr. Fauci, " . . . the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks” that a pandemic would occur naturally and “the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky.”  Source:  The Australian (Linked in NY post)

"The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said it sent the 15 strains of viruses on a commercial flight to China "for the purpose of scientific research" in March, 2019.

The package included a sample of the deadly zoonotic Nipah virus - which causes severe swelling of the brain, difficulty breathing and seizures.

It also included several strains of the Ebola virus, which causes fevers, vomiting, diarrhoea as well as internal and external bleeding. The disease has claimed more than 11,300 lives in West Africa.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Republicans Conclude Covid-19 Came From Wuhan Lab
   An investigation by the House Foreign Affairs Committee into the origin of the Covid-19 outbreak has concluded that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology sometime just before September 12, 2019.
. . . “Its release was due to poor lab safety standards and practices, exacerbated by dangerous gain-of-function research being conducted at inadequate biosafety levels, including BSL-2.

Those games became an international vector, spreading the virus to multiple continents around the world.” Source: The Gateway Pundit

Leaked State Dept memo obtained by America First Legal reveals US gov't is producing VIDEO GAMES with taxpayer dollars for “psychological vaccination against fake news.” How dare they!

Their plan is to stop populism on social media. 

Quote:Summary

The US gov't produced a cat-themed “disinformation” video game to “inoculate” young people against populist news content.

The game aspires to create a “psychological vaccination against fake news” in those surfing social media.

The US and UK gov'ts plan to embed the game in local schools and educational curricula around the world, especially “ahead of elections.”

“With the Internet, only two things are certain: the global appeal of cat videos and the pervasiveness of disinformation.”

So begins a government memorandum recently circulated by the US State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC) titled: “Cat Park – A New Online Game to Inoculate Youth Against Disinformation,” recently obtained by America First Legal and reviewed by Foundation for Freedom Online.

The memo, dated Oct. 31, 2022, details a government plan to roll out a new taxpayer-funded online game called Cat Park. The game is billed as a product that “inoculates players against real world disinformation by showing how sensational headlines, memes, and manipulated media can be used to advance conspiracy theories and incite real-world violence.”

However, there is more going on here than a simple cat-themed video game.

As this report will explain, the GEC appears to be using taxpayer dollars to fund “behavioral modification” propaganda games intended to make young people around the world view populist content online as being de facto “disinformation.”

To understand the full story, we will explore the Cat Park game itself, break down the GEC memo, and then reveal the bigger picture of where this all came from and what's behind it.

Cat Park: 'Vaccinating' Young People Against Distrust In The Government

Aimed at young people aged 15 years and up, Cat Park purports to be a “noir adventure” where a player takes on “the role of a disinformation agent recruited into a shadowy social media pressure campaign.”

In the game's plot, the player assumes the role of a social media user who makes memes and news headlines to energize local citizens to stop the construction of a local park for cats (hence, Cat Park). Then, the player, realizing they have been spreading disinformation, must repent for their memes that resulted in the park getting canceled.

The major crux of plot tension in the game is the concern that the cat park being built by the city's mayor ostensibly only serves the city's upper-income residents. Thus, populist resentment lurks within the lower-income strata at the city who believe their own needs are being neglected by government officials.

Thus, as a “disinformation” purveyor, the player represents the “anti-park” movement, and begins the game by generating grievances against the park's construction.

The new Global Engagement Center (GEC), established by presidential executive order and located at the DoS, focuses on third-party validators or influencers from the bottom up, whereas MISO [Military Information Support Operations, formerly known as “psyops”] within DoD remains more focused on government top-down communications.

The GEC was first founded and overseen in 2016 by then-State Department Under Secretary for Public Affairs Richard Stengel. Stengel described his job at GEC as being the US government's “chief propagandist.”

Available for desktops (not on mobiles yet) is the new Thank You system.

Giving a Thank You is special. Sometimes, a thread or a post deserves more than a +2 rating or a 5 stars header.

Never wished that if you could give that post or that thread a million rates or a million stars, you would?

THAT is why the new Thank You system exists.

It's that little extra mile that says "Hey....I really, really, really liked what I've just read!!"

Icon on the bottom right side of the reply box. 'Add Thank You'.

The Thank You leaves a nice announcement underneath the post and the user receiving the Thank You gets an alert about it.

When you go into the Memberlist, check out your name, it will tell you how many Thank Yous you've given and how many you've received.

Much like the Applause system on other sites, except that the system here is open to all members and not restricted to Staff only.

If one is to assume narratives from the mainstream media are there to simply explain an opinion
on a topical news item and since everyone would normally arrive at a self-deduced point of view
from reading or watching a news item... then what is a Journalistic narrative for then?

In this thread I hope we can show the daily manipulation of public judgement and how we are
shepherded into a way of thinking, a way those who seek to control us, prefer.

Quote:America’s largest center for historical records on UFOs to be established in New Mexico

The largest historical archive of records on unidentified aerial phenomena in the nation will be unveiled in New Mexico in the coming years, according to a group of leading UFO historians and archivists.

The National UFO Historical Records Center (NUFOHRC) will be “dedicated to the preservation and centralization of UFO/UAP information in the United States,” according to a press release announcing the new non-profit organization.

Led by researcher and historian David Marler, the organization has announced its plans to have its archive housed at a facility in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, area.

Notably, the organization’s New Mexico facility will also house collections owned by the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, following the transfer of files by its director, Mark Rodeghier, Ph.D., to Marler in November 2020. Included with this collection are the personal files of J. Allen Hynek, the Center’s namesake, who served as scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force’s official UFO investigations for close to two decades.

Marler is currently also in possession of the files formerly maintained by the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), which at one time represented the largest civilian UFO investigative organization in the United States, and says that as many as a dozen more private UFO collections have already been promised to be delivered to the facility over the next two years.

“With the accumulated data, we hope to assist with serious research endeavors and aid in an accurate chronicling of UFO/UAP history for present and future generations regardless of belief or non-belief in the subject,” read a portion of a press release issued by the group.

Marler, who spoke with The Debrief at length about the new endeavor, expressed appreciation for the renewed public interest in the UFO subject seen in recent years.

“What I find though is that, despite the ever-increasing amount of people that are looking at the UFO or UAP subject, not a lot of people—a very small percentage—are interested in the history,” Marler told The Debrief.

I think Guohua would approve...
