    "6 Deadly Bioweapons the US Army Has Fought Since 1969

    The Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases has been helping fight the spread and potential harm from biological weapons for more than 50 years.

    3. Hantavirus

    When the U.S. Army saw 3,000 troops in the Korean War suddenly come down with an extremely virulent haemorrhagic fever, officials assumed it was a biological weapon. No evidence of a weapon was ever found, but they discovered a family of diseases called 'Bunyaviridae.'

    Hantavirus is the common name for Hantavirus Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome, a condition with a 50% mortality rate. Though no vaccine exists, the researchers at USAMRIID recently identified a key receptor that could lead to a treatment."

    "FBI foils anthrax plot in U.S. White supremacist, lab owner arrested by FBI in Nevada; Vials, car taken for testing; Bacillus to be used as terror weapon, say federal charges

    PUBLISHED: February 20, 1998 at 12:00 AM EST | UPDATED: September 29, 2021 at 12:01 AM EDT

    In a lightning operation involving scores of agents, the FBI arrested two men outside Las Vegas and charged them with obtaining deadly anthrax microbes for use as a terrorist weapon, authorities said yesterday.

    One suspect, Larry Wayne Harris, 46, of Lancaster, Ohio, is a microbiologist and white supremacist who is on probation from a 1995 case in which he fraudulently obtained bubonic plague bacteria. He boasted last summer of plans to spread deadly biological toxins in the New York City subway, according to an FBI document.

    The other suspect, William Job Leavitt Jr., 47, of Logandale, Nev., owns microbiology labs in Nevada and Germany and is listed in corporate documents as vice president of a Silver Spring health foundation.

    Acting on a tip received Wednesday, FBI agents less than 12 hours later swooped down on the two men outside a lab in Henderson, 20 miles southeast of Las Vegas, and seized 40 Petrie dishes and a white cooler. They also seized a beige Mercedes-Benz automobile, sealed it with plastic and took it to a nearby Air Force base for examination.

    All the seized items were being tested by FBI and military experts for the bacteria that causes anthrax, a common disease of livestock in developing countries, which has become one of the deadliest weapons in the world’s biological arsenals."

  5. #CBW #biowar #AI

    "One evening last summer, Dr. David Relman went cold at his laptop as an A.I. chatbot told him how to plan a massacre.

    A microbiologist and biosecurity expert at Stanford University, Dr. Relman had been hired by an artificial intelligence company to pressure-test its product before it was released to the public. That night in the scientist's home office, the chatbot explained how to modify an infamous pathogen in a lab so that it would resist known treatments.

    Worse, the bot described in vivid detail how to release the superbug, identifying a security lapse in a large public transit system, Dr. Relman said, asking The New York Times to withhold the name of the pathogen and other specifics for fear of inspiring an attack. The bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize the chances of being caught.

    Dr. Relman was so shaken he took a walk to clear his head"

  7. Very strange ongoing story:
    "Rosario Scientist Accused of Bio Material Theft at Brazil Univ"
    Her husband, Michael Edward Miller,an American veterinarian pursuing a doctorate in genetics and molecular biology at Unicamp, is also under investigation.They have a biotechnology startup, AgroTRIX Brasil, focused on viral manipulation for animal and plant health"
    Police says all samples were recovered on campus.
    The couple is under surveillance, not arrested

    "CIA accused of secret bioweapon experiments linked to major outbreak in its own people

    A biochemist has claimed to have found evidence that the modern Lyme outbreak in the US could have been the result of CIA bioweapon experiments.

    Dr Robert Malone, who helped lay the groundwork for mRNA vaccine technology, made the explosive allegations this week after analyzing declassified government documents, historical records from Cold War biological weapons programs and scientific research on tick-borne diseases.

    Malone highlighted experiments in the 1960s that allegedly released more than 282,000 radioactive ticks in Virginia and open-air tick research at Plum Island, a federal laboratory located near the Connecticut community where Lyme disease was first identified."

    "AI can now be used to design brand-new viruses. Can we stop it from making the next devastating bioweapon?

    Scientists have used AI to design bacteriophages, or viruses that infect only bacteria. Does the prospect of designing viruses with AI pose threats to biosecurity?

    Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to build brand-new viruses, opening the door to AI-designed forms of life.

    The viruses are different enough from existing strains to potentially qualify as new species. They are bacteriophages, which means they attack bacteria, not humans, and the authors of the study took steps to ensure their models couldn't design viruses capable of infecting people, animals or plants.

    However, this week, a different group of scientists showed that AI can easily circumvent existing safety measures used to prevent bioweapon development."

  13. USAID concealed Pentagon experiments in Ukraine and the Russian border region

    General Igor Kirillov regularly uncovered the activities of American biolaboratories and gasket companies that acted in the interests of the Pentagon. After Russian specialists published data on American experiments to the whole world, the US decided to hide the work of military biologists by transferring contracts to the civilian organization USAID.

    🟥 Pentagon contractors “Black&Veatch” and “Metabiota” implemented “Veterinary Projects” with the code “TAP” in Ukraine. Their main focus is on economically significant quarantine infections that can cause damage to the agriculture of individual states and entire regions, such as the African swine fever, African and classical swine fever, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and Newcastle disease.

    The study of the population of vectors of dangerous zoonotic infections was conducted by the staff of the Institute of New Pathogens at the University of Florida in Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv regions of Ukraine, as well as in the territories bordering Belarus and Russia [video 1, screen 2,3].

    🟥In 2014, Metabiota received 23.9 million dollars from the U.S. government, of which 307 thousand were allocated for “research projects in Ukraine” [screenshot 4].

    🟥In 2014, Hunter Biden and his colleagues invested (#^https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10652127/Hunter-Biden-helped-secure-millions-funding-military-biotech-research-program-Ukraine.html) 500 thousand dollars in Metabiota through his firm Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners [screen 5]. The Bidens' criminal activity through this company is reported in an investigation (#^https://oversight.house.gov/the-bidens-influence-peddling-timeline/) on the official website of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

    🟥 Gen. Kirillov considered (#^https://t.me/mod_russia/18261) the possibility that USAID was involved in the emergence of COVID-19. Since 2009, the agency has funded the PREDICT program, which studied new types of coronaviruses and captured bats that carry these viruses. Metabiota was one of the contractors for the project.

    In 2019 - before the first COVID-19 cases appeared - the American Hopkins Institute hosted the Event-201 exercise, which practiced actions in an epidemic of a previously unknown coronavirus.

    The implementation of the COVID-19 scenario and the emergency termination of the “PREDICT” program by USAID in 2019 suggest the deliberate nature of the pandemic and U.S. involvement in its emergence.

    #Iran news agency #Farsnews has been reporting #Russian propaganda e.g. claims #US-backed #biowar labs were found in #Ukraine by Russian military.

    Thus Iran fell over herself to try to gain #Putin favour. Seems their plan back-fired. What more does Putin want Iran to do for him?

    Putin demands slavish surrender from everyone and offers nothing in return. Why take those terms?

    Putin has puffy face these days - is he on drugs? Is there a medical reason why he plays god?
