Critical thinking is a higher ordered cognitive process. However, those who embrace misinformation and conspiracy theories engage in primary cognitive processing so we can't get through to them. So considerable damage will sadly persist.

COL (Join to see) I am not a huge conspiracy fan. This Chinese virus appeared after POTUS Trump put the squeeze on China to benefit the US consumer and industry. Every other politician has allowed American manufacturing to be exported to China and then allowed those same uncooperative Chinese to export those products to America while seeking as many industrial secrets as possible for China’s benefit. When POTUS Trump attempted to bring that industry back to the U.S., China responded, by unleashing the virus. Given the Oriental’s callous disregard for human lives, could you build a case that China initiated a world war via release of the virus? China’s goal is to dominate, or are they just fighting back against restrictions POTUS Trump instigated?

CSM Charles Hayden I tend to think the virus was ‘biological’ warfare on the part of China

CSM Charles Hayden, as I followed the spread of the virus, the first thing which came to my mind was biological warfare. I know I’m old and I remember mustard gas, I was trained with CS gas, and I served during the Cold War. After being stationed at Ft McClellan with the NBC school there and then being stationed in FRG; I became NBC qualified. I remember the subway attack in Japan in the 90’s. It all seemed to make quite a bit of sense. China is known for its disrespect for human life and practice genocide; so, it all seems to be plausible. I also read somewhere this virus was being studied by the Army here in NC in the 80’s...CSM Charles Hayden
