Fake Animals Decoded: Giant Panda Bears?
1.
Are pandas real?

There are many historical quirks that raise my eyebrow about pandas. Enough to consider this question!

First of all panda's are the most famously difficult animal to breed and spend 10-16 hours a day eating bamboo.

2.
Those two things alone had gotten me to consider this question in the past, but it wasn't until seeing this
that I knew I'd need to explore this hypothesis.

This video claims pandas were discovered in the 1920's, a massive red flag if true!

3.
There are reasons to question their existence at least, but I'm not a disinfo peddler. I won't be calling them fake until I am forced to by logic!

I will test the hypothesis to the best of my ability and it's worth noting my other historical decodes.

4.
I don't call something fake lightly!

I did not imagine an answer I expected to see, I was FORCED to conclude by logic every confident historic decode I've done.

I was forced to conclude nuclear weapons were fake.decodingsymbols.wordpress.com/2025/05/30/nuc…

5.
I was forced to conclude dinosaurs were fake. and like many other examples I could give the reason something so big can continue to be faked today is due to a value in maintaining the lie.

A value compared at least to the alternative.decodingsymbols.wordpress.com/2023/12/15/din…

6.
I felt it necessary to mention past decodes because being fake would not make a grand exception!

Much of history is fake, but not all, and I refuse to get carried away by disinfo. I strike to recognize that which is real as real, and so I test ideas!

7.
The first big question to ask is whether that video was even correct in suggesting pandas were first discovered in the 1920's.

That to me is the biggest red flag that could exist for something like this to be fake for reasons I'll get into.

8.
A basic search says no, they were actually discovered in the 1800's, but... we can't necessarily assume this is accurate and must test that claim.

We have to test both sides!

Note the first date given for a westerner to see a Panda is APRIL FOOLS DAY?

9.
A basic Grok history notes the first appearance of pandas in "pop culture" is in the 1930's in America.... that's not conclusive, but it will help clarify this next data point which is!

10.
A basic newspaper search for Pandas traces them back to 1929! Hunted by the SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Ok... that gives us an early answer. But only because of which president it is!

Any other POTUS would not have made it conclusive already!

11.
Because Teddy Roosevelt is famous for the TEDDY BEAR.

In fact look up "Panda Bear History" and Teddy Bear History comes up with Theodore Roosevelt.

A teddy bear is a symbol I've already decoded before and it unlocks what was originally said here!

12.
Origin of Teddy Bear = Sparing Bear CUB

1902 Teddy Roosevelt Spares BEAR (CUB)
1902 Chicago CUBS (BEAR) nickname begins
1902 US Established Diplomatic Relations with Cuba ENDS MILITARY OCCUPATION
1903 Chicago Cubs First Official Game

END OF MILITARY OCCUPATION = NOT HUNTING

13.
Teddy Roosevelt BIG STICK DIPLOMACY (Baseball Bat) Literally the excuse to intervene internationally.

it tied into PROTECTING AN OVERSEAS TERRITORY i.e. CUBA and so to invoke the already existing Teddy Bear + China = Panda Bear.

"PANDA BEAR" application of that same comm

14.
Real things are used for comms as well, so hypothetically they could have used a real animal and it'd be the same effect.

We can't CONFIDENTLY say fake until we consider more angles, but right now it's leaning strongly towards fake

Top Stuffed animal globally = TEDDY BEAR

15.
Top Chinese stuff animal? Labubu?

What? I seriously expected panda... oh... well, now, I guess I may have accidentally decoded Labubu given future DECLAS eh? Well, I'm glad that was requested recently as I can link them this...

16.
It lessens the blow by replacing something held sacred to countless children. If a child loves Panda more than anything it's a lot harder to tell them it's a lie!

Thus now they like Labubu! Not like anyone is pretending those are real!

17.
Tho just from a basic market perspective, if DECLAS comes they are going to want to replace certain popular things due to likely backlash.

Personally I'm not sure how it'll all play out... Tho this is encouraging as to replace panda is to suggest DECLAS is coming!

18.
I still wouldn't give this a "confident" label, but it's getting close. We now need to consider the logistics of such a hoax.

Did they dye regular bears in the early days?

1936: "A little bit of something mighty cute"

19.
The act of eating bamboo all day is suspicious... I was considering animatronic, but I see it reported as early as 1937 for a behavior so that's unlikely.

So guy in a suit? The panda does look at little "off" to me here in any case.

20.
Interesting... here I was rapidly closing in on "confidently fake" but that last query backed us up a few notches.

Oh it's still closer to fake than not, but methodology is important!

Tho I must say... quite a variety of looks as I find pictures...

21.
The first panda attack that comes up in a search...

09/19/2006 Drunk Migrant Worker Zhang XX Bites Panda Gu Gu at Beijing Zoo After Being Bitten While Trying to Hug After Jumping Enclosure
09/20/2006 CHINA + RUSSIA + INDIA + BRAZIL BRICS First Ministerial Meeting Held

22.
That sounds incredibly insane, but then it also sounds like a typical comm sent which in this case is likely a message tied to BRICS.

DRUNK MIGRANT HUGS CHINA GETS BIT I.e, what will happen to bad migrant workers?

23.
I doubt I can push too much harder on the "real" question, but there is no doubt they have been heavily used as a comm.

10/23/1978 Garfield TEDDY BEAR INTRODUCED
10/23/1978 Treaty of PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP between Japan and China

24.
They could be summed up as "Pro China" symbol with heavy connections to international diplomacy.

12/14/1936 Edgar Snow Pro China Article
12/17/1936 First Chinese Panda in America Su-Lin Cuts First Tooth "A Little Bit of Something Mighty Cute"

25.
I discuss that further here.
a lot of panda decoding, tho it's more about the promotion

11/09/1936 First Chinese Panda Ever Captured

Requires a bit more history to understand this one, but I'll stop here...
