Rejecting Covid Inquiry, China Peddles Conspiracy Theories

Blaming the U.S....

A new wave of disinformation follows President Biden’s order for the United States

to investigate the origin of the pandemic, including the possibility of a lab leak

in Wuhan.

When a conspiracy theory started circulating in China

suggesting that the coronavirus escaped from an American military lab,

it had largely stayed on the fringe.

Now, the ruling Communist Party has propelled the idea

firmly into the mainstream.

These theories, promoted by officials, academics, central propaganda outlets

and on social media, have gained wider currency in China.

They risk further muddying inquiries into the source of the virus

and aggravating already frayed relations between the world’s top two powers

at a time when cooperation is badly needed.

“This not only contributes to the further deterioration of U.S.-China relations

but also makes it even less likely for the two countries to work together

to face a common challenge,”

“The point is to really saturate the airwaves with all of this,

which most average Chinese will not be able to see behind,”

“A lot of it is anticipating and trying fend off, pre-emptively,

this potential American study by the intelligence community.”

Spike Lee is re-editing 9/11 documentary
that features conspiracy theorists

... includes interviews with scientists who refute the conspiracy claims,

but critics say Lee gave the conspiracists undeserved air time.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
