Remdesivir: Major drug to fight coronavirus made by China before Pandemic.

Remdesivir is one of the few products that have been approved for use against COVID19 (See NICE Approval based on clinical data in May and June). The USA has just purchased Gilead's global supply of Remdesivir (Guardian).

BrightGene, a company owned by Jiang Zhicheng, the grandson of the former president of China, Jiang Zemin, began manufacturing Remdesivir at the start of the coronavirus pandemic (See for instance Time Magazine Feb 12th). BrightGene is able to use Chinese emergency laws to avoid paying licence fees to US company Gilead, which holds the patent.

The big issue here is not the understandable desire of a US government to represent its own people or the strategic failure of the UK to support its drug industry. The big issue is that BrightGene knew that Remdesivir was effective right at the start of the COVID19 outbreak, in January 2020. Funds were poured into BrightGene in early 2019.

How did BrightGene know that Remdesivir was effective? BrightGene was even sanctioned by the Hong Kong Securities Regulator for claiming Remdesivir was effective before clinical trials. There was a big investment in BrightGene on 1st February. Remember that on 12th of January the WHO issued a report saying that there was no human to human transmission of COVID19 and international travel to Wuhan was fine, despite an epidemic being under way. Only 18 days later, on 30th January the WHO announced a global pandemic.

Someone made a killing

On 1st February millions of BrightGene shares were purchased, 12 days before BrightGene announced that Remdesivir was effective without any apparent clinical trials. The father of Jiang Zhicheng is Jiang Mianheng. Jiang Mianheng is the son of President Jiang Zemin who was infamous for corruption, appointing his friends and relatives to senior business and government posts. Jiang Mianheng had control of Government Military Biological Research, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

OK, there is no document that says "yes son, we are developing this virus and you will make a killing if you can develop a drug for it". Where is the boundary between "conspiracy theory" and truth? Dad controls the labs that collect and alter bat viruses ("for the good of mankind"), his son runs a company that ramps up research on drugs to treat such viruses. There is a lab escape and the son makes millions. It could all be coincidence... The Wuhan labs are now under full military control.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith. What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas? In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands. The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata. The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile. In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president. Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H...

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue? What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems. Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out. The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark. Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions. The full plans for Eurozone po...
