------------------

I am a senior Chinese military intelligence officer

and I know the truth about the coronavirus outbreak.

It is far worse than the media are telling you.

I am a Chinese citizen in Wuhan who occupies

— or perhaps occupied — a high-ranking position

in military intelligence.

I am also a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

As a senior official near the top of the Party,

I have access to a great deal of classified

information and I have been involved in many

top-secret government projects.

I have a doctorate from a leading university in a

western country, which is why I am able to write my

account in English.

I have information that I believe could lead to the

overthrow of my government.

It is also relevant to billions of people outside of

China, all of whom are now in existential peril.

It will not surprise you to hear that if my identity

were to be revealed, my life would be in grave danger,

as would those of my wife and son.

I ask you to respect the fact that I have stripped out

of this account all facts that would make it easy to

identify me.

By now you will be familiar with the recent outbreak

of 2019-nCoV, also known as NCP, or simply "coronavirus".

You will have heard that it originated in Wuhan, an

industrial city in China, and that it came from an animal

— most likely a bat or a pangolin — that was sold in a

wild animal market.

You will have been told that it is an influenza-like

illness that can in severe cases cause pneumonia,

respiratory failure and death.

Finally, you may have heard that although the disease

is highly infectious, it is dangerous only to the elderly

or to those who have a compromised immune system.

The official lethality rate is approximately 2% or so.

All of that is a bunch of lies concocted by the Chinese

state with the tacit support of the U.S. deep state and

its friends in the European Union, Russia and Australia,

and spread by the docile media in all of those countries.

Let me start by telling you that the world does not

operate the way you think it does.

Although countries like the US and China vie for global

dominance, that competition is restricted to certain

limited areas.

In most ways, the two countries are more interested in

cooperation so that they can stop other competing countries

from gaining more power.

They also have a shared interest in keeping real power out

of the hands of their "ordinary" citizens.

To this end, they have many different mechanisms by which

they control the overwhelming majority of their media outlets.

The Americans in particular have perfected the art of creating

made-up "divisions" between their two main parties which are

designed to hide the fact that both serve the same masters.

These same nations also posses technology that is far more

advanced than you can imagine and which is kept carefully

hidden from public view.

This includes advanced artificial intelligence capable of

undermining and deciding any election in the world; biological

and chemical agents that can manipulate and control the

thinking patterns and behaviours of citizens to terrifying

degrees; highly sophisticated manipulation techniques using

hypnotic practices entirely unknown to the public; and other

things that I will not go into now.

My point is that the great nations do not compete so much as

work together.

Their principal goal is to shield the true workings of the

world from the "uninitiated" public.

Just to give you one example, there aren’t actually any nuclear

weapons anywhere in the world.

The U.S. and the Soviet Union scrapped them all in the 1970s,

as did their client states.

Everyone realised that those weapons could not be used without

destroying the whole world, so there was no need for them; but

by pretending that they still had them, the big players were

able to keep the non-nuclear powers in line.

Let me return to the virus.

Last year, large-scale anti-government protests erupted in Hong Kong.

The Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party considered these

to be a grave threat to the integrity and stability of the motherland.

The U.S. government and the EU both knew that the Chinese were secretly

working on a biological agent that was supposed to make the protesters

docile and obedient.

Without going into detail, I worked on that project.

We tried to develop a sort of spray that could be dispersed from

helicopters or drones and that would lead to mental retardation

and behavioural change.

Naturally, as Hong Kong is one of the most open and international

cities in the world, the Party decided that it was too risky to

release the agent in Hong Kong without first testing it.

For this, it needed a great number of human guinea pigs.

Two groups were identified for this.

First, we rounded up a large number of so-called "islamic radicals"

in Xinjiang Province and took them to what we called "training camps".

We had already been using these camps for human experimentation for

several years, but the Hong Kong protests meant that we redoubled

our efforts.

We exposed the inmates to various "alpha" experimental agents.

As these were odourless and invisible, the subjects were not

aware that they were taking part in medical trials.

The resulting high rates of cancer, premature dementia,

suicidal depression and death by organ failure could easily be

suppressed, as the camps are located in very remote parts of our

motherland.

Once the initial experiments had yielded a "beta" agent, it was

transported to Hubei Province, where it was deployed in a special

military testing facility outside the city of Wuhan.

This was not even a particularly well-kept secret: the existence

of this facility has been reported in international news.

Even the fact that it is located close to the wild animal market

is a known fact.

By then our President had already introduced a "social credit"

system that allowed us to identify disloyal,

counter-revolutionary and bourgeois elements in our society.

Using the social credit scores — which are taken from online

activity, electronic shopping behaviour and reports from

informers in civil society — we selected some of the worst

offenders.

These included human rights lawyers and activists, Christians,

homosexuals, artists, intellectuals, people who speak foreign

languages, and other undesirables.

Once these troublemakers had been collected and placed in the

testing facility, we exposed them to the Agent, which is

biochemical in nature and spread in an invisible aerosol,

akin to certain viruses.

Initial results were encouraging, as we saw significant

cognitive decline and reduction in higher mental processing facilities.

Essentially, our undesirables were becoming mildly mentally

disabled, which is precisely the effect we wanted to produce

in order to pacify the restive population of Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that the Agent

also had other effects.

About one week after the retardation set in, our subjects

developed major anxiety and panic attacks.

Eventually they developed symptoms akin to those of

paranoid schizophrenics.

At that point, their bodies rapidly deteriorated.

They developed massive internal bleeding; the walls of

their arteries dissolved; they bled out of their eyes

and orifices, and their tissue disintegrated.

To put it in a more direct Western manner,

they started to melt.

Death usually occurred through multiple organ failure.

This was preceded by at least five days of severe agony

which could not be alleviated by painkillers.

It was at this time that I first violated our protocol:

one subject, an elderly lady who had published defamatory

cartoons of our President, begged me for death with such

insistence that I took pity and shot her.

I was reprimanded, but fortunately the complaint was dropped

when I agreed to reimburse the cost of the bullet.

I swore to myself never again to show such unnecessary emotion.

We decided that our Agent was unusable.

It was far too destructive for our purposes.

We wanted the population of Hong Kong to submit to us;

we did not want to exterminate it.

Naturally, our American friends had by then taken an

interest in our work and asked us for a sample for their

own research and testing purposes.

They hinted that they wished to use it to resolve certain

difficulties in Venezuela.

Normally we would have agreed, as we maintain friendly

relations with the CIA, but given the extremely toxic

nature of the Agent, we declined.

This, as it turned out, was a grave mistake.

The CIA was convinced that we had developed

something very powerful and wanted to keep

it to ourselves.

They offered a great deal of money to one

of our researchers.

Foolishly, he agreed to sell them a specimen.

We found out just in time for the handover

and tried to stop it from happening.

In the ensuing shoot-out — don’t bother to

look for it in the news,

it was never reported anywhere —

several dozen people were killed.

More importantly, however, the Agent escaped.

The shoot-out took place at the wild animal market

which has been reported as the location of the

"animal to human" transmission that started the outbreak.

But of course there was no such transmission; it was just

the location where the CIA was supposed to receive the

sealed vial containing the Agent.

The vial shattered when it was dropped by the traitor

who had agreed to sell it to the Americans.

By now I understand you will be sceptical.

If I really am who I say I am, why would

I be sharing this information on the internet?

Let me assure you that I am no friend of the

Western system of governance.

I love my motherland and I am loyal to the

Communist Party.

It has lifted hundreds of millions of my

compatriots out of squalor and poverty.

However, I am also a human being

and I have a conscience.

Most importantly, I have a wife and a son.

Once we realised that the Agent had escaped and

would start to spread, we swiftly put all of

Wuhan into lockdown.

I was one of those tasked to manage the

fallout of the contamination.

Of course we could not keep such a huge undertaking

secret, so we decided to order our state media to

report that a "coronavirus" had broken out in Wuhan.

In reality, of course, there is no "coronavirus".

It was all made up.

It was one of my colleagues who came up with the genius

idea of pretending that people with the common flu

suffered from the coronavirus.

This allowed us to hide the true nature of the disease.

Let me explain.

It is currently flu season in China.

When we realised that we could no longer control the

spread of the Agent, we sent our men to all the hospitals

and instructed all doctors to diagnose every case of the

common flu as "coronavirus".

We came up with a new name — 2019-nCoV — and handed out

"factsheets" that described a made-up illness.

The result of this decision was that tens of thousands

of individuals who were simply suffering from a cold

or flu were now diagnosed as having a mysterious

coronavirus that, although infectious, was not often lethal.

While this frightened the public, it allowed us to push

the narrative that the disease was not that deadly;

it also gave us time to prepare for the catastrophe

that was sure to come by imposing a lockdown on Wuhan

and other cities in Hubei Province.

You have not heard this in the news

— and given the size of Wuhan, with its population

of 11 million, it is not known even to many of the residents —

but within days thousands upon thousands were infected

and before long they suffered the agonising deaths that

I have already described.

Within a week, there were so many corpses that we did not

know what to do with them, so we ordered the surviving

social credit prisoners to drive the bodies into the

countryside and bury them in mass graves.

But it was very difficult to keep this activity secret,

and we could not even keep up as there were so many corpses.

We planted a story that five million residents had "fled" Wuhan.

In reality, of course, many of those people had died from the Agent.

I was working around the clock helping to orchestrate this cover-up.

When I think back to my actions now, I feel great shame.

At the time I still believed that I was fighting for my

motherland and that the rule of the Party was right and just.

But deep down, I had already begun to have doubts.

My faith in the Party was shaken even more deeply when

I learnt what had happened to Dr Li Wenliang.

He was one of the few doctors who refused falsely to

diagnose flu patients with the "coronavirus".

As a punishment, he was sent to help transport dead

bodies to mass graves.

The expectation was that he would be infected with

the Agent and die an agonising death, but to our great

surprise, he did not contract the illness.

You have of course read that he died of "coronavirus".

You have been misinformed.

A sergeant of the People’s Armed Police injected him

with a mixture of heroin and mercury that caused his

lungs to deflate.

When I found out about this I became unsure whether or not

I was doing the right thing.

While I believe that it is appropriate for a government to

rule with a severe hand, I do not think that it was right to kill Dr Li.

He was a compassionate and kind man and he cared about

his patients; how can our motherland not benefit from having such a doctor?

I shared my concerns with my wife,

but she convinced me that I should not say anything to my superiors.

She said that it was too dangerous;

that they valued loyalty above everything else;

and that I would only find trouble if I admitted to my doubts about their practices.

She also pointed out that we benefited from priority medical treatment.

As senior officials, we received regular supplies of the

highly-sophisticated hazmat masks that are the only known

technology that can prevent infection.

She implored me to think of our son, who is still small.

If I spoke out and were caught, our lives would be at risk.

Around the same time, it became clear that the Agent was

entirely beyond our control.

It was spreading like wildfire throughout Hubei Province

and beyond, infecting tens of millions and causing them

all to die.

I understand that what I just said is difficult to believe,

because you have been told that there have been only about

50,000 infections, and far fewer deaths.

But these are the influenza infections that have been falsely

passed off as the non-existent "coronavirus".

The Agent is far, far more contagious than that, and its

fatality rate, unlike the "coronavirus", is not 2%.

No, its fatality rate is 100%.

Nobody recovers from it.

Everybody who contracts it dies.

And a lot of people are contracting it.

Hubei Province lies in ruins.

The various travel restrictions and lockdowns that have

been imposed were not created to stop the spread of the

Agent — none of them can stop it, not embargoes, not face

masks or hand sanitiser — but to stop the survivors from

seeing the catastrophe with their own eyes.

I am part of the greatest cover-up in human history:

the hiding of the deaths of tens of millions.

Very soon, Hubei Province will be no more than a giant

mortuary, and the truth will come out.

For me, the turning point came when the Party told yet

another lie, and that lie was too dreadful even for me to accept.

You may have heard that China built a new hospital,

called Huoshenshan Hospital, in Wuhan, in order to provide

additional quarantine and isolation facilities for infected patients.

You may have heard that they built it in only ten days.

That too is a lie.

Sure, they did build something in six days.

But it was not a hospital.

The true nature of the building was top secret.

Initially, I was naive enough to believe that the Party

was demonstrating its compassion and care for the people.

But then my superiors sent me to Huoshenshan.

I was shown around the installation by a military

police officer called Corporal Meng (this is not his real name).

It was there that I saw the truth.

As I have mentioned, the only way to protect oneself

from the Agent is by wearing a special protective mask

that is entirely unlike those available commercially.

Even medical professionals do not have access to it.

It is available only to biomedical warfare researchers

and it contains extremely advanced technology.

These masks need to be kept at a particular temperature

to offer full protection, and lose their effectiveness very quickly.

As I have also already said, one of the benefits of my

position was that both my family and I had access to regular

supplies, which is why were safe when compared to civilians,

doctors and even lower-level government officials,

all of whom wore utterly ineffective surgical masks in the

misguided belief that they would protect them.

And so, wearing this special equipment,

I went to Huoshenshan with Corporal Meng.

Whatever you want to call that place, it is not a hospital.

Sure, the entrance looks like a hospital and in the ward

at the front of the complex, there are what appear to be normal medical beds.

There, thousands of infected patients lie, all of them in the

early stages of the disease.

I walked along those long, white corridors next to Corporal Meng,

his angular face dispassionate in his military fatigues,

and saw hundreds upon hundreds of identical hospital beds on which

squirmed the terrified and diseased inhabitants of Wuhan.

Their cries and pleas haunt me in the long nights in which I now am unable to sleep.

But this was merely the beginning.

Eventually the Corporal took me to the rear of this front section.

There, locked metal gates led to what he called the "middle section".

The patients in the front are unaware of its existence.

It is there that the more advanced cases are kept,

in what most closely resembles a mental asylum.

Immediately upon entering this part of Huoshenshan

I was struck by the dim lighting and stench of vomit and human waste.

Here the unfortunates roamed freely,

their minds gradually disintegrating in endless panic attacks

and psychotic episodes.

Here too there were no more doctors,

merely gorilla-faced men in black uniforms who belonged to some

secret branch of the military police I had never heard of.

They appeared to have been selected for their cruelty,

for they beat and degraded the patients in the most sadistic manner.

Many of the inmates had regressed to childlike

states and lay on the floor weeping like infants

and begging for compassion that they did not receive.

There was cruel pleasure in the eyes of these thugs

as they brutalised the unfortunates.

They beat them with batons, sprayed pepper spray

into their eyes and kicked them with their steel-capped boots.

As I was from military intelligence, the guards

did not even attempt to hide their activities.

They even invited me to join; in every way, they

treated me as one of them.

Yes, one of them.

I stood in the grey staff bathroom of Huoshenshan

and looked into a cheap mirror and asked myself —

is this really what you are?

Are you really like them?

But the violence was not merely an expression of sadism,

for the poor inmates were not there to be cared for.

They were there to work.

There was one more set of doors,

and beyond them lay what the Corporal called the "Core".

And it was there that I saw it

— piles and piles of dead bodies, stacked on top of one

another all the way to the ceiling.

There were men, women and children, elderlies and toddlers,

rich and poor, beautiful and misshapen, proud and humble.

They were all of them dead.

Our Agent made no distinction between any of them.

I gasped when the Corporal led me to the Core.

I cannot count how many there were, but it was many, many thousands.

And in the midst of the piles of corpses was a kind of path,

and I heard a roaring sound in the distance.

The miserable patients from the middle section picked up the

dead and carried and dragged them away into the dark,

even as the guards beat them with truncheons.

It took me a little while before I grasped what was happening.

I simply could not believe what lay at the end of that path in the Core.

It was an enormous furnace, with great fires roaring within.

One by one, their minds destroyed and their bodies twisted,

the dying men and women carried the corpses to the furnace

and cast them inside in a doomed attempt to hide the dreadful truth.

I saw several of them collapse from exhaustion only for their

lifeless bodies to be added to the mountains of corpses on both sides.

In a seemingly endless line they went, their emaciated bodies clad in

grey overalls, their backs bent under the weight of their dreadful cargo.

Many howled and groaned in terror and their voices joined in

a sorrowful cacophony that lingered over the roar of the fires.

In deep shock, I stared at the boundless horror before me.

Beside me stood Corporal Meng, his freshly-shaved face as

emotionless as before.

When I turned to face him, he looked at me. His mouth smiled,

but his eyes did not.

"We use the energy to operate Huoshenshan," he said.

"We save the state considerable resources in this way.

And look," — he waved at the gallery of the dead —

"there are so many of them here.

You could almost describe it as renewable energy."

He laughed and waved his hand in a strangely camp gesture.

I stood speechless and stared at the infernal scenes before me.

Men in black uniforms screamed like daemons at the wretches

who were disposing of the corpses for them.

They stripped the dead of anything that had value

— jewellery, cash, expensive clothing — and tossed these items

onto an enormous pile next to the furnace.

When I asked the Corporal what would be done with the items,

they said that they would be used to pay for the "healthcare expenses"

incurred by the patients’ stay in Huoshenshan.

I vomited in the toilet.

When I flushed and came out of the stall,

Corporal Meng stood by the door and looked at me.

His face was as blank as before, but in his eyes

I thought I registered a very faint trace of contempt.

You are ten years my senior, the look said, but you are soft.

I thanked him for his service and went home.

When I arrived, I saw that I had received hundreds

of updates on the encrypted device the Party uses

to communicate to insiders.

The news were unimaginably grim.

The State Legal and Economic Commission had allocated funds

for the construction of dozens of facilities like Huoshenshan

all throughout China.

The Agent had spread not only to every single province of

the motherland, but to most other nations in the world.

Fortunately, we had agreements in place with other governments

— they agreed to pretend that the infections were due to a coronavirus.

They were just as worried as we were that a panic might

break out in their countries.

The Americans in particular were terrified that the

S&P 500 might decline.

This, they said, would be unacceptable in an election year,

so we could count on their full support.

Of course the World Health Organisation also helped us.

For a long time, the only issue with the WHO has been

that we have been locked in a contest with the Americans

about who bribes them more.

They released all sorts of sophisticated misinformation

about having decoded the DNA of the so-called coronavirus.

All this has allowed us to stave off a global panic.

For now.

Yet the situation was worsening with astonishing speed.

I am reluctant to reveal too much on this point, as it

would make it too easy for my enemies to identify me,

but we quickly began to implement measures to protect

our most senior leaders.

If you look at the world news, you will see that

Xi Jinping, our President, disappeared for approximately

one week after the outbreak, before being seen again with

the leader of Cambodia.

You should know that the person who met the Cambodian

leader was not President Xi.

It was a body double who had, for many years, been trained

to look and sound just like our President.

President Xi is of course not careless enough to risk his own death.

He is safely ensconced in a secret bunker underneath Zhongnanhai,

the headquarters of the Party in Beijing.

Nor was he the only leader who is in hiding.

In fact, I can assure you that over half of all

senior Party members are currently being imitated

by trained actors who are following instructions

given to them via special implants.

Do you really think that our Prime Minister would

risk his life by going to Wuhan?

All of this means that our government has become

utterly paralysed and the functions of the state

have been taken over by the military.

It became clear to me that our efforts were pointless.

Yes, the lockdowns, travel bans and targeted

assassinations of rebellious journalists allowed us

to hide the true situation in Wuhan; but I knew that

this would not last.

Once the mass deaths begin in the rest of the world

— in our estimation, this should happen within the next week or so —

everyone will know the truth.

It will become clear that we cannot protect ourselves from the Agent.

Surgical masks, hand sanitiser, gloves — nothing can stop it.

Nothing except the special hazmat masks,

but those cannot be produced in anything like sufficient quantities.

You, an ordinary person, will never even receive one,

let alone a sufficient number to see you through the coming holocaust.

For those of you reading this, therefore, all I can suggest

is that you keep your loved ones close to you.

Hug them, tell them what they mean to you.

Enjoy the time you have left with them.

It is not typical in Chinese culture to express one’s feelings

in this way, but I have learnt the importance of such gestures.

I promised my wife that I would show this document to her before I posted it.

Yet I broke my word.

I hear her weep in loud, hoarse sobs in the bedroom,

and the keyboard of my laptop is wet with my own tears.

Not long ago, we received results of the regular tests

that are part of our "priority medical treatment",

and we learnt that my son had been infected with the Agent.

The military police that has supplied me with the special

protective mask had been giving expired and ineffective

masks to my son, masks that senior officials had already

worn and then discarded when they ceased to protect them.

My own masks, on the other hand, had always been of the

necessary quality.

I suppose they decided that my son was of lower priority than me.

I suppose my son could not help them with their cover-up.

We had long ago decided that we would be different

— we would be honest with him, always.

And so when he asked us, we told him the truth.

We told him that he was very sick.

He asked more, and we told him he would not get better.

He continued asking, and we told him that he would die.

He is very small, but he was old enough to understand.

His terrified wails will haunt me for the rest

of my miserable days in this world.

Let them come.

Let them do with me as they will.

I no longer care.

Let me return to the virus.

Last year, large-scale anti-government protests erupted in Hong Kong. 
The Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party considered these 
to be a grave threat to the integrity and stability of the motherland. 
The U.S. government and the EU both knew that the Chinese were secretly

Without going into detail, I worked on that project. 
We tried to develop a sort of spray that could be dispersed from

and behavioural change.

Naturally, as Hong Kong is one of the most open and international 
cities in the world, the Party decided that it was too risky to 
release the agent in Hong Kong without first testing it. 
For this, it needed a great number of human guinea pigs. 
Two groups were identified for this.

First, we rounded up a large number of so-called &quot;islamic radicals&quot; 
in Xinjiang Province and took them to what we called &quot;training camps&quot;. 
We had already been using these camps for human experimentation for 
several years, but the Hong Kong protests meant that we redoubled

We exposed the inmates to various &quot;alpha&quot; experimental agents. 
As these were odourless and invisible, the subjects were not

The resulting high rates of cancer, premature dementia, 
suicidal depression and death by organ failure could easily be 
suppressed, as the camps are located in very remote parts of our 
motherland.

Once the initial experiments had yielded a &quot;beta&quot; agent, it was 
transported to Hubei Province, where it was deployed in a special 
military testing facility outside the city of Wuhan. 
This was not even a particularly well-kept secret: the existence 
of this facility has been reported in international news. 
Even the fact that it is located close to the wild animal market 
is a known fact.

By then our President had already introduced a &quot;social credit&quot; 
system that allowed us to identify disloyal, 
counter-revolutionary and bourgeois elements in our society. 
Using the social credit scores — which are taken from online 
activity, electronic shopping behaviour and reports from 
informers in civil society — we selected some of the worst 
offenders. 
These included human rights lawyers and activists, Christians, 
homosexuals, artists, intellectuals, people who speak foreign 
languages, and other undesirables.

Once these troublemakers had been collected and placed in the 
testing facility, we exposed them to the Agent, which is 
biochemical in nature and spread in an invisible aerosol, 
akin to certain viruses. 
Initial results were encouraging, as we saw significant 
cognitive decline and reduction in higher mental processing facilities. 
Essentially, our undesirables were becoming mildly mentally
disabled, which is precisely the effect we wanted to produce 
in order to pacify the restive population of Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that the Agent 
also had other effects. 
About one week after the retardation set in, our subjects 
developed major anxiety and panic attacks. 
Eventually they developed symptoms akin to those of 
paranoid schizophrenics. 
At that point, their bodies rapidly deteriorated. 
They developed massive internal bleeding; the walls of 
their arteries dissolved; they bled out of their eyes 
and orifices, and their tissue disintegrated.

To put it in a more direct Western manner, 
they started to melt.

Death usually occurred through multiple organ failure. 
This was preceded by at least five days of severe agony 
which could not be alleviated by painkillers. 
It was at this time that I first violated our protocol: 
one subject, an elderly lady who had published defamatory 
cartoons of our President, begged me for death with such 
insistence that I took pity and shot her. 
I was reprimanded, but fortunately the complaint was dropped 
when I agreed to reimburse the cost of the bullet. 
I swore to myself never again to show such unnecessary emotion.

We decided that our Agent was unusable. 
It was far too destructive for our purposes. 
We wanted the population of Hong Kong to submit to us; 
we did not want to exterminate it.

Naturally, our American friends had by then taken an 
interest in our work and asked us for a sample for their 
own research and testing purposes. 
They hinted that they wished to use it to resolve certain 
difficulties in Venezuela. 
Normally we would have agreed, as we maintain friendly 
relations with the CIA, but given the extremely toxic 
nature of the Agent, we declined.

This, as it turned out, was a grave mistake. 
The CIA was convinced that we had developed 
something very powerful and wanted to keep 
it to ourselves. 
They offered a great deal of money to one 
of our researchers. 
Foolishly, he agreed to sell them a specimen. 
We found out just in time for the handover 
and tried to stop it from happening. 
In the ensuing shoot-out — don’t bother to 
look for it in the news, 
it was never reported anywhere — 
several dozen people were killed.

More importantly, however, the Agent escaped.

The shoot-out took place at the wild animal market 
which has been reported as the location of the 
&quot;animal to human&quot; transmission that started the outbreak. 
But of course there was no such transmission; it was just 
the location where the CIA was supposed to receive the 
sealed vial containing the Agent. 
The vial shattered when it was dropped by the traitor 
who had agreed to sell it to the Americans.

By now I understand you will be sceptical. 
If I really am who I say I am, why would 
I be sharing this information on the internet? 
Let me assure you that I am no friend of the 
Western system of governance. 
I love my motherland and I am loyal to the 
Communist Party. 
It has lifted hundreds of millions of my 
compatriots out of squalor and poverty. 
However, I am also a human being 
and I have a conscience.

Most importantly, I have a wife and a son.

Once we realised that the Agent had escaped and 
would start to spread, we swiftly put all of 
Wuhan into lockdown. 
I was one of those tasked to manage the 
fallout of the contamination. 
Of course we could not keep such a huge undertaking 
secret, so we decided to order our state media to 
report that a &quot;coronavirus&quot; had broken out in Wuhan.

In reality, of course, there is no &quot;coronavirus&quot;. 
It was all made up.

It was one of my colleagues who came up with the genius 
idea of pretending that people with the common flu 
suffered from the coronavirus. 
This allowed us to hide the true nature of the disease. 
Let me explain.

It is currently flu season in China. 
When we realised that we could no longer control the 
spread of the Agent, we sent our men to all the hospitals 
and instructed all doctors to diagnose every case of the 
common flu as &quot;coronavirus&quot;. 
We came up with a new name — 2019-nCoV — and handed out 
&quot;factsheets&quot; that described a made-up illness.

The result of this decision was that tens of thousands 
of individuals who were simply suffering from a cold 
or flu were now diagnosed as having a mysterious 
coronavirus that, although infectious, was not often lethal. 
While this frightened the public, it allowed us to push 
the narrative that the disease was not that deadly; 
it also gave us time to prepare for the catastrophe 
that was sure to come by imposing a lockdown on Wuhan 
and other cities in Hubei Province.

You have not heard this in the news 
— and given the size of Wuhan, with its population 
of 11 million, it is not known even to many of the residents — 
but within days thousands upon thousands were infected 
and before long they suffered the agonising deaths that 
I have already described. 
Within a week, there were so many corpses that we did not 
know what to do with them, so we ordered the surviving 
social credit prisoners to drive the bodies into the 
countryside and bury them in mass graves. 
But it was very difficult to keep this activity secret, 
and we could not even keep up as there were so many corpses. 
We planted a story that five million residents had &quot;fled&quot; Wuhan. 
In reality, of course, many of those people had died from the Agent.

I was working around the clock helping to orchestrate this cover-up. 
When I think back to my actions now, I feel great shame. 
At the time I still believed that I was fighting for my 
motherland and that the rule of the Party was right and just. 
But deep down, I had already begun to have doubts.

My faith in the Party was shaken even more deeply when 
I learnt what had happened to Dr Li Wenliang. 
He was one of the few doctors who refused falsely to 
diagnose flu patients with the &quot;coronavirus&quot;. 
As a punishment, he was sent to help transport dead 
bodies to mass graves. 
The expectation was that he would be infected with 
the Agent and die an agonising death, but to our great 
surprise, he did not contract the illness.

You have of course read that he died of &quot;coronavirus&quot;. 
You have been misinformed. 
A sergeant of the People’s Armed Police injected him 
with a mixture of heroin and mercury that caused his 
lungs to deflate.

When I found out about this I became unsure whether or not 
I was doing the right thing. 
While I believe that it is appropriate for a government to 
rule with a severe hand, I do not think that it was right to kill Dr Li. 
He was a compassionate and kind man and he cared about 
his patients; how can our motherland not benefit from having such a doctor?

I shared my concerns with my wife, 
but she convinced me that I should not say anything to my superiors. 
She said that it was too dangerous; 
that they valued loyalty above everything else; 
and that I would only find trouble if I admitted to my doubts about their practices. 
She also pointed out that we benefited from priority medical treatment. 
As senior officials, we received regular supplies of the 
highly-sophisticated hazmat masks that are the only known 
technology that can prevent infection. 
She implored me to think of our son, who is still small. 
If I spoke out and were caught, our lives would be at risk.

Around the same time, it became clear that the Agent was 
entirely beyond our control. 
It was spreading like wildfire throughout Hubei Province 
and beyond, infecting tens of millions and causing them 
all to die.

I understand that what I just said is difficult to believe, 
because you have been told that there have been only about 
50,000 infections, and far fewer deaths. 
But these are the influenza infections that have been falsely 
passed off as the non-existent &quot;coronavirus&quot;. 
The Agent is far, far more contagious than that, and its 
fatality rate, unlike the &quot;coronavirus&quot;, is not 2%.

No, its fatality rate is 100%. 
Nobody recovers from it. 
Everybody who contracts it dies.

And a lot of people are contracting it.

Hubei Province lies in ruins. 
The various travel restrictions and lockdowns that have 
been imposed were not created to stop the spread of the 
Agent — none of them can stop it, not embargoes, not face 
masks or hand sanitiser — but to stop the survivors from 
seeing the catastrophe with their own eyes.

I am part of the greatest cover-up in human history: 
the hiding of the deaths of tens of millions. 
Very soon, Hubei Province will be no more than a giant 
mortuary, and the truth will come out.

For me, the turning point came when the Party told yet 
another lie, and that lie was too dreadful even for me to accept. 
You may have heard that China built a new hospital, 
called Huoshenshan Hospital, in Wuhan, in order to provide 
additional quarantine and isolation facilities for infected patients. 
You may have heard that they built it in only ten days.

That too is a lie.

Sure, they did build something in six days. 
But it was not a hospital. 
The true nature of the building was top secret. 
Initially, I was naive enough to believe that the Party 
was demonstrating its compassion and care for the people. 
But then my superiors sent me to Huoshenshan. 
I was shown around the installation by a military 
police officer called Corporal Meng (this is not his real name). 
It was there that I saw the truth.

As I have mentioned, the only way to protect oneself 
from the Agent is by wearing a special protective mask 
that is entirely unlike those available commercially. 
Even medical professionals do not have access to it. 
It is available only to biomedical warfare researchers 
and it contains extremely advanced technology.

These masks need to be kept at a particular temperature 
to offer full protection, and lose their effectiveness very quickly. 
As I have also already said, one of the benefits of my 
position was that both my family and I had access to regular 
supplies, which is why were safe when compared to civilians, 
doctors and even lower-level government officials, 
all of whom wore utterly ineffective surgical masks in the 
misguided belief that they would protect them.

And so, wearing this special equipment, 
I went to Huoshenshan with Corporal Meng.

Whatever you want to call that place, it is not a hospital. 
Sure, the entrance looks like a hospital and in the ward 
at the front of the complex, there are what appear to be normal medical beds. 
There, thousands of infected patients lie, all of them in the 
early stages of the disease. 
I walked along those long, white corridors next to Corporal Meng, 
his angular face dispassionate in his military fatigues, 
and saw hundreds upon hundreds of identical hospital beds on which 
squirmed the terrified and diseased inhabitants of Wuhan. 
Their cries and pleas haunt me in the long nights in which I now am unable to sleep.

But this was merely the beginning. 
Eventually the Corporal took me to the rear of this front section. 
There, locked metal gates led to what he called the &quot;middle section&quot;. 
The patients in the front are unaware of its existence. 
It is there that the more advanced cases are kept, 
in what most closely resembles a mental asylum.

Immediately upon entering this part of Huoshenshan 
I was struck by the dim lighting and stench of vomit and human waste. 
Here the unfortunates roamed freely, 
their minds gradually disintegrating in endless panic attacks 
and psychotic episodes. 
Here too there were no more doctors, 
merely gorilla-faced men in black uniforms who belonged to some 
secret branch of the military police I had never heard of.

They appeared to have been selected for their cruelty, 
for they beat and degraded the patients in the most sadistic manner. 
Many of the inmates had regressed to childlike 
states and lay on the floor weeping like infants 
and begging for compassion that they did not receive. 
There was cruel pleasure in the eyes of these thugs 
as they brutalised the unfortunates. 
They beat them with batons, sprayed pepper spray 
into their eyes and kicked them with their steel-capped boots. 
As I was from military intelligence, the guards 
did not even attempt to hide their activities. 
They even invited me to join; in every way, they 
treated me as one of them.

Yes, one of them. 
I stood in the grey staff bathroom of Huoshenshan 
and looked into a cheap mirror and asked myself — 
is this really what you are? 
Are you really like them?

But the violence was not merely an expression of sadism, 
for the poor inmates were not there to be cared for.

They were there to work.

There was one more set of doors, 
and beyond them lay what the Corporal called the &quot;Core&quot;. 
And it was there that I saw it 
— piles and piles of dead bodies, stacked on top of one 
another all the way to the ceiling. 
There were men, women and children, elderlies and toddlers, 
rich and poor, beautiful and misshapen, proud and humble.

They were all of them dead. 
Our Agent made no distinction between any of them.

I gasped when the Corporal led me to the Core. 
I cannot count how many there were, but it was many, many thousands. 
And in the midst of the piles of corpses was a kind of path, 
and I heard a roaring sound in the distance. 
The miserable patients from the middle section picked up the 
dead and carried and dragged them away into the dark, 
even as the guards beat them with truncheons.

It took me a little while before I grasped what was happening. 
I simply could not believe what lay at the end of that path in the Core.

It was an enormous furnace, with great fires roaring within.

One by one, their minds destroyed and their bodies twisted, 
the dying men and women carried the corpses to the furnace 
and cast them inside in a doomed attempt to hide the dreadful truth. 
I saw several of them collapse from exhaustion only for their 
lifeless bodies to be added to the mountains of corpses on both sides. 
In a seemingly endless line they went, their emaciated bodies clad in 
grey overalls, their backs bent under the weight of their dreadful cargo. 
Many howled and groaned in terror and their voices joined in 
a sorrowful cacophony that lingered over the roar of the fires.

In deep shock, I stared at the boundless horror before me. 
Beside me stood Corporal Meng, his freshly-shaved face as 
emotionless as before. 
When I turned to face him, he looked at me. His mouth smiled, 
but his eyes did not.

&quot;We use the energy to operate Huoshenshan,&quot; he said. 
&quot;We save the state considerable resources in this way. 
And look,&quot; — he waved at the gallery of the dead — 
&quot;there are so many of them here. 
You could almost describe it as renewable energy.&quot; 
He laughed and waved his hand in a strangely camp gesture.

I stood speechless and stared at the infernal scenes before me. 
Men in black uniforms screamed like daemons at the wretches 
who were disposing of the corpses for them. 
They stripped the dead of anything that had value 
— jewellery, cash, expensive clothing — and tossed these items 
onto an enormous pile next to the furnace. 
When I asked the Corporal what would be done with the items, 
they said that they would be used to pay for the &quot;healthcare expenses&quot; 
incurred by the patients’ stay in Huoshenshan.

I vomited in the toilet. 
When I flushed and came out of the stall, 
Corporal Meng stood by the door and looked at me. 
His face was as blank as before, but in his eyes 
I thought I registered a very faint trace of contempt. 
You are ten years my senior, the look said, but you are soft.

I thanked him for his service and went home.

When I arrived, I saw that I had received hundreds 
of updates on the encrypted device the Party uses 
to communicate to insiders. 
The news were unimaginably grim. 
The State Legal and Economic Commission had allocated funds 
for the construction of dozens of facilities like Huoshenshan 
all throughout China. 
The Agent had spread not only to every single province of 
the motherland, but to most other nations in the world. 
Fortunately, we had agreements in place with other governments 
— they agreed to pretend that the infections were due to a coronavirus. 
They were just as worried as we were that a panic might 
break out in their countries. 
The Americans in particular were terrified that the 
S&amp;P 500 might decline. 
This, they said, would be unacceptable in an election year, 
so we could count on their full support.

Of course the World Health Organisation also helped us. 
For a long time, the only issue with the WHO has been 
that we have been locked in a contest with the Americans 
about who bribes them more. 
They released all sorts of sophisticated misinformation 
about having decoded the DNA of the so-called coronavirus. 
All this has allowed us to stave off a global panic.

For now.

Yet the situation was worsening with astonishing speed. 
I am reluctant to reveal too much on this point, as it 
would make it too easy for my enemies to identify me, 
but we quickly began to implement measures to protect 
our most senior leaders. 
If you look at the world news, you will see that 
Xi Jinping, our President, disappeared for approximately 
one week after the outbreak, before being seen again with 
the leader of Cambodia.

You should know that the person who met the Cambodian 
leader was not President Xi. 
It was a body double who had, for many years, been trained 
to look and sound just like our President. 
President Xi is of course not careless enough to risk his own death. 
He is safely ensconced in a secret bunker underneath Zhongnanhai, 
the headquarters of the Party in Beijing.

Nor was he the only leader who is in hiding. 
In fact, I can assure you that over half of all 
senior Party members are currently being imitated 
by trained actors who are following instructions 
given to them via special implants. 
Do you really think that our Prime Minister would 
risk his life by going to Wuhan?

All of this means that our government has become 
utterly paralysed and the functions of the state 
have been taken over by the military.

It became clear to me that our efforts were pointless. 
Yes, the lockdowns, travel bans and targeted 
assassinations of rebellious journalists allowed us 
to hide the true situation in Wuhan; but I knew that 
this would not last. 
Once the mass deaths begin in the rest of the world 
— in our estimation, this should happen within the next week or so — 
everyone will know the truth. 
It will become clear that we cannot protect ourselves from the Agent. 
Surgical masks, hand sanitiser, gloves — nothing can stop it. 
Nothing except the special hazmat masks, 
but those cannot be produced in anything like sufficient quantities. 
You, an ordinary person, will never even receive one, 
let alone a sufficient number to see you through the coming holocaust.

For those of you reading this, therefore, all I can suggest 
is that you keep your loved ones close to you. 
Hug them, tell them what they mean to you. 
Enjoy the time you have left with them. 
It is not typical in Chinese culture to express one’s feelings 
in this way, but I have learnt the importance of such gestures.

I promised my wife that I would show this document to her before I posted it.

Yet I broke my word.

I hear her weep in loud, hoarse sobs in the bedroom, 
and the keyboard of my laptop is wet with my own tears. 
Not long ago, we received results of the regular tests 
that are part of our &quot;priority medical treatment&quot;, 
and we learnt that my son had been infected with the Agent.

The military police that has supplied me with the special 
protective mask had been giving expired and ineffective 
masks to my son, masks that senior officials had already 
worn and then discarded when they ceased to protect them. 
My own masks, on the other hand, had always been of the 
necessary quality.

I suppose they decided that my son was of lower priority than me. 
I suppose my son could not help them with their cover-up.

We had long ago decided that we would be different 
— we would be honest with him, always. 
And so when he asked us, we told him the truth. 
We told him that he was very sick. 
He asked more, and we told him he would not get better.

He continued asking, and we told him that he would die. 
He is very small, but he was old enough to understand.

His terrified wails will haunt me for the rest 
of my miserable days in this world.

Let them come. 
Let them do with me as they will. 
I no longer care.
