ICBM warheads modified to deliver the “poor man’s atomic bomb”—chem/bio warfare—have reportedly been developed. But would the agents survive reentry into the atmosphere or dispersal to the intended target? And why bother when poor man’s delivery methods are readily available: e.g. U.S. mail, human couriers, contaminated crops.
Recently, Chinese nationals associated with the University of Michigan have been accused of smuggling pathological biological materials into the U.S. (https://tinyurl.com/mrnxs863). A science and technology university in Wuhan, China, may be involved.
While attention has focused on China, there was direct evidence in 2022 that the U.S. was funding biological research laboratories in Ukraine. Early in the Ukraine conflict, bombing and destruction by air of those laboratories was attributed to Russian air force action by U.S. corporate media, but was performed by the U.S. Air Force, according to Dr. Robert Malone (https://tinyurl.com/yc7u6wjf).
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., while a Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential election, commented on the existence of U.S. biolabs in Ukraine and their connection to biological weapons research. He stated that these labs are developing bioweapons using advanced genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR, which were not available to previous generations. He also mentioned that the U.S. has been making bioweapons at places like Wuhan, China, and Ukraine (ibid.).
According to a scientist who is deeply embedded in DoD “Biological Countermeasures” planning and was recently appointed by the Trump Administration to a position in which he will apparently be supporting the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness, the Ukrainian labs fulfill a vital mission in global surveillance of emerging infectious diseases. He said that there are no micronizers, spray dryers, aerosol test chambers, or particle size counters, needed for biowarfare research and aerosol stabilization testing (ibid.).
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that gain-of-function research is happening in labs around the world, including in US.-funded labs in Ukraine. “Who knows what kinds of pathogens are in these labs and, if released could create another covid like pandemic” (ibid.).
Dr. Malone, who worked for years with U.S. biodefense, points out that “biological warfare agents are potent, cheap, easy to manufacture (particularly compared to thermonuclear devices), readily deployed, and have changed the tide of history on many occasions.” An unverified story told to him by someone with “friends in high places” was that the real event that catalyzed the fall of the Soviet Union was the development breakthrough of a binary bioweapon, delivered via an airborne route, lethal enough to stop tank commanders and their crews in their tracks (https://tinyurl.com/yrrejuaf).
Biodefense is big business, Dr. Malone observes. Over many decades, the total expenditures of the U.S. government in developing biowarfare agents may have exceeded the money spent on thermonuclear weapons. “But I never really allowed myself to confront the possibility that we might not be the good guys, the white hats. Until I experienced what we have all been through over the last two years. A government…that clearly believes that it is justified in disregarding fundamental principles of bioethics and the common rule…. [O]nce I saw that, it was like having backed into a light switch and suddenly the entire room was lit up, and I could never un-see what was revealed. Are we always the good guys? Or is this just more interchangeable Spy vs Spy, where ethics and roles [are] fungible and ‘situational.’ A world in which there are no good guys, no white hats. Just a matter of media spin, perspective, and realpolitik. The world as envisioned by Henry Kissinger and Klaus Schwab” (https://tinyurl.com/yc7u6wjf).
It appears that Ukraine was a major partner in America’s Biological Threat Reduction Program, which also may have a direct connection to the EcoHealth Alliance. Many relevant documents were scrubbed from the U.S. Embassy website (ibid.).
There are many unknowns and unknowables. There is a great crisis of confidence. Many congressional investigations are warranted. But it is essential, Dr. Malone writes, to “stop the propaganda/media war response to every crisis.”
A NOVEL AGENT OF TRANSMISSION
What if a countermeasure could be the real weapon, with the initial infection primarily a means to instill fear? How about an injectable substance that people volunteer, even line up to take—or that could be mandated for “public health.” Tiny quantities are needed for each dose. Little is wasted. The risk of unintended infection of bystanders would be minimized, although conceivably the agent could be transmissible—or shed. Distribution could be targeted to certain populations. If onset of symptoms is delayed, a causal connection would be hard to establish.
The COVID-19 vaccine campaign, assumed to be a well-intentioned response to a natural or accidental outbreak of a novel, ostensibly highly deadly pathogen, may have served as a proof of concept. The product was rolled out with unprecedented speed, thanks to developments in molecular biology and the removal of legal and regulatory barriers. Millions of doses were administered with astonishing rapidity, as in parking lots, with people jockeying for a place in line. Politicians, celebrities, and leaders of organized medicine had themselves injected on camera. (And when a few keeled over, it was brushed off, and the momentum was not slowed.) Getting the jab was a civic duty, to protect yourself and others, a requirement for military service, many types of employment, even attendance at concerts.
It was even portrayed as a religious obligation. In 2022, Vatican City issued a 20-Euro silver coin commemorating the COVID-19 vaccine. It depicts a doctor, a nurse, and a young person who is ready to receive the vaccine. The obverse bears the Coat of Arms of Pope Francis, who has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination, recalling that healthcare is “a moral obligation,” and it is important to “continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples” (https://tinyurl.com/ycyexwwp).
The idea that “In Vaccines We Trust” is deeply imbedded on medical and public education. Despite growing evidence of severe adverse effects of the shots—and of attempts to cover them up—outrage and panic from medical authorities has greeted the modest dilution of CDC recommendations for COVID shots, and the suggestion that the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine might be removed from the childhood vaccination schedule. There are no efforts to restore the licenses and credentials of doctors who dissented from the narrative.
The experiment was a great success. But would the method work if tried again?
