Will 2022 be any less chaotic?

On July 08, 2021 US President Joe Biden said, "When I announced our drawdown in April, I said we would be out by September, and we are on track to meet that target. Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31st." "And in this context, speed is safety." "Together, with our NATO Allies and partners we have trained and equipped over three hu- -- nearly 300,000 current and serving members of the military -- of the Afghan National Security Force, and many beyond that who are no longer serving." "We have provided our Afghan partners with all the tools -- let me emphasize: all the tools, training, and equipment of any modern military. We have provided advanced weaponry."

A Canadian molecular biologist Dr Alina Chan told a cross-party committee of the British House of Commons that "a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan region of China is now the 'more likely' origin of the COVID-19 global pandemic, NDTV. "Documents obtained by The Intercept contain new evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the nearby Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment, along with their collaborator, the US-based non-profit EcoHealth Alliance, have engaged in what the US government defines as 'gain-of- function research of concern', intentionally making viruses more pathogenic or transmissible in order to study them." "Grant money for the controversial experiment came from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is headed by Anthony Fauci." Not just the scientists, Silicon Valley companies also worked hard to protect China's government and its nefarious designs, BI. And executives of tech companies donated liberally to get Donald Trump out of office, CNBC. Billionaires selling themselves for thirty pieces of silver, wikipedia. Can they sink any lower?
