撒謊、欺騙、偷竊……美國情報部門又玩起了拿手“好戲”?
中新網北京8月13日電 (蔣鯉) 拜登政府5月曾下令讓美國情報部門在90天內提交一份新冠病毒源頭調查報告,如今期限將至,美情報部門聯合CNN等美國媒體,又安排了一出栽贓中國的“好戲”。
8月5日,美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)發布“獨家報道”,聲稱美國情報機構目前已經搜集了大量武漢病毒所實驗室的基因數據,一旦破譯,這些數據可能成為揭示新冠病毒起源的關鍵。但CNN表示,尚不清楚這些數據的來源。
沒有真憑實據卻成了CNN的“獨家”?這些數據是真實存在的嗎?不如說這更像是美國對中國發起的一場輿論戰,目的就是為了讓中國再次成為全球溯源的焦點,以實現栽贓中國的圖謀。
值得進一步思考的是,美國情報部門是如何拿到這些所謂的“關鍵數據”呢?有沒有經過情報部門的加工?美國前國務卿蓬佩奧就曾說過:“我曾擔任中央情報局(CIA)局長,我們撒謊、我們欺騙、我們偷竊,我們還有一門課程專門來教這些。這才是美國不斷探索進取的榮耀。” 所以,大概只有美國政府才知道這些問題的答案吧。
做戲要做全套,除了媒體報道,當然也少不了美國部分政客的參與。美國會眾議員麥考爾2日發布所謂的“新冠病毒溯源報告”更新版,以80多頁的文字加大渲染所謂“武漢實驗室泄漏論”。然而,這份所謂“更新版報告”漏洞百出,缺乏原始數據,沒有法律效力。連美國時政分析師安德魯·克里布科也指出,共和黨人的這份報告是為了抹黑中國,通過把溯源問題政治化,以在來年中期選舉中獲取更多選民的支持。
據美國約翰斯·霍普金斯大學11日數據,美國確診病例累計超3600萬例,死亡病例累計超61萬例,毫無疑問,美國是全球第一抗疫失敗國。如何有效遏制疫情,挽救民眾生命才是當務之急。所以,那些試圖栽贓中國的美國政客們,還是醒醒吧!
U.S. intelligence agencies hurry to satisfy Biden's 90-day order on Covid origin tracing
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- U.S. President Joe Biden in May ordered the Intelligence Community to produce a report on COVID-19 origin tracing within 90 days. As the deadline approaches, U.S. intelligence agencies have shown their latest "progress" to the public through CNN.
On August 5, CNN released an "exclusive report,” claiming that U.S. intelligence agencies "are digging through a treasure trove of genetic data that could be key to uncovering the origins of the coronavirus -- as soon as they can decipher it." However, CNN said it's unclear exactly how or when the U.S. intelligence agencies gained access to the information.
Why is data without a clear source an "exclusive report" on CNN? Does the data truly exist? Is it a public opinion war launched by the U.S. against China, so that China can be the target of the world regarding origin tracing once again?
How do U.S. intelligence agencies get "key data"? Has the country ever falsified such data? It is worth further consideration. As former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo once boasted, "I was the CIA director, we lied, we cheated, we stole...It was like we had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment." It is the U.S. that knows the answers to these questions.
What's more, Representative Michael McCaul, the ranking member of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, released an "updated" report with over 80 pages on August 2, claiming that there is a preponderance of evidence that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But the report was criticized widely for its loopholes and original shortage of evidence. Andrew Korybko, an American political analyst, thought the Republicans' report could be seen as a preemptive partisan move to influence next year's midterms.
According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. has reported more than 36,000 thousand confirmed cases and a death toll of over 610,000 until Wednesday. It's time for the country to focus on its urgent COVID-19 fight and save lives.
