In 2002, DARPA set off a firestorm among human rights advocates from the Left and Right by creating a comprehensive data mining system under President Reagan’s National Security Advisor, Admiral John Poindexter. Public protests forced DARPA to scuttle that project, but critics have accused the agency of using the technology to help launch Facebook.170 By remarkable coincidence, DARPA shut down its Facebook-like project LifeLog, a venture that involved MIT contractors, the very same month—February 2004—that Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook just a thirty-minute walk up the Charles River in

CIA “State Secret Contracts,”
“Once he signs that secrecy agreement, that Silicon Valley entrepreneur is now functionally the indentured servant of the agency. It binds him and his company for life, and the agreement itself is classified.”
In 2015, Wired emerged as a promoter of a particular brand of autism epidemic denial known as “Neurodiversity.” By normalizing autism as “neurodiversity,” this movement seeks to dilute autism numbers, deny the vaccine association, and promote the larger view that all vaccines are safe and vaccine injuries are the delusions of crackpots.
Wired is also the fountainhead of the equally sinister movement transhumanism, which advocates for the integration of human beings and machines.
Not everyone is a fan: Francis Fukuyama has called the transhumanism movement “the greatest threat to humanity.”177
The TIME article mentioned one of his most impressive fortune-telling stunts: In 2000, as part of a study for a Senate commission, Schwartz predicted “the horrifying possibility of terrorists flying planes into the World Trade Center.”179
Barack Obama delivered the keynote speech; Klaus Schwab, president of the World Economic Forum and the head of the World Bank, put a happy face on global crisis as a potential path to the cashless society so coveted by international banksters: “The Digital Currency: Is It the Way of the Future?”
As chief futures officer for Salesforce, Schwartz currently markets a “vaccine management” software platform that allows governments to track, trace, monetize, and enforce vaccine compliance among global populations.
These exercises served as devices for planners to rehearse their schemes with critical functionaries and to coordinate communications and choreograph the actions of diverse government, industry, military, intelligence, energy, and financial power centers in their lockstep march to replace constitutional democracy with authoritarian plutocracy.
Over two days, the global health ministry officials and other “guest countries and international representatives” bore witness to a “timeline of the unfolding pandemic,” known as MARS, a novel respiratory virus, spread from busy markets in a mountainous border region of an unnamed but China-like country—to nations around the globe. Only draconian clampdowns by neighboring governments and heroic WHO technocrats orchestrating a tightly choreographed centralized global response save humanity from a chaotic dystopian apocalypse.
In an hour-long documentary about that event, German journalist Paul Shreyer shows the health ministers intently studying the simulation exercises: “When we look at that picture,” Shreyer says, “we might comprehend a bit better why in today’s crisis, all or at least most of the countries are proceeding very coordinatedly, and why in every country, more or less the same is acted out. . . . They were given the same general recipes and procedural instructions that are now being realized in a synchronized way.”187
“SPARS 2017” chronicled an imaginary coronavirus pandemic that would, supposedly, run from 2025 to 2028. The exercise turned out to be an eerily precise predictor of the COVID-19 pandemic exactly three years later.
Building on the Pentagon’s anthrax simulation (1999) and the intelligence agency’s “Dark Winter” (2001), Atlantic Storm (2003, 2005), Global Mercury (2003), Schwartz’s “Lockstep” Scenario Document (2010), and MARS (2017), the Gates-funded SPARS scenario war-gamed a bioterrorist attack that precipitated a global coronavirus epidemic lasting from 2025 to 2028, culminating in coercive mass vaccination of the global population. And, as Gates had promised, the preparations were analogous to “preparing for war.”191
The Gates simulation focused on deploying the usual psyops retinue of propaganda, surveillance, censorship, isolation, and political and social control to manage the pandemic.
Looked at another way, when it erupted five years later, the 2020 COVID-19 contagion faithfully followed the SPARS blueprint. Practically the only thing Gates and his planners got wrong was the year.
According to the scenario narrative, a so-called “SPARS” coronavirus ignites in the United States in January 2025 (the COVID-19 pandemic began in January 2020). As the WHO declares a global emergency, the federal government contracts a fictional firm that resembles Moderna. Consistent with Gates’s seeming preference for diabolical cognomens, the firm is dubbed “CynBio” (Sin-Bio) to develop an innovative vaccine using new “plug-and-play” technology. In the scenario, and now in real life, Federal health officials invoke the PREP Act to provide vaccine makers liability protection.
Another company in this scenario receives an Emergency Use Authorization for a remdesivir-like antiviral named Kalocivir that federal officials previously evaluated as a therapeutic for SARS and MERS.194
According to the scenario, by late January, SPARS has spread to every state and forty-two countries. In record speed, a coalition of ingenious corporate and heroic government officials miraculously produce a new vaccine, “Corovax,” just in time for a July 2026 Emergency Use Authorization rollout.
But government and industry leaders depicted in those eighty-nine pages have plans to silence and censor these dangerous elements and to crush all resistance.195
The SPARS team responds with a flood of propaganda to drown doubt with vaccine plugola, public shaming of the vaccine-hesitant, and patriotic appeals.
By springtime 2026, with the EUA vaccine rollout in full swing, public reservations about the vaccine are multiplying. The scenario blueprint predicts waves of severe neurological vaccine injuries soon appearing among children and adults. The CDC is meeting escalating skepticism toward its exaggerated predictions of coronavirus lethality; official fatality number indicates that coronavirus mortalities are comparable to the seasonal flu:
By May 2026, public interest in SPARS had begun to wane. In late April the CDC had publicized an updated case fatality rate estimate, suggesting that SPARS was only fatal in 0.6 percent of cases in the United States.197 (Note: the 2020 COVID-19 case fatality rate was a mere 0.26 percent according to CDC).
To overcome the public’s dangerous complacency, the CDC and FDA, in concert with other government agencies and their social media experts, begin developing a new public health propaganda campaign:
Even a casual read of the Foundation’s planning document makes clear that Gates’s preparation has little to do with public health and everything to do with limiting freedom and aggressively marketing vaccines.
The dismaying role of mainstream media in these exercises is to broadcast propaganda, impose censorship, and manufacture consent for oppressive policies. In their projections, the social planners project absolute confidence that news media and social media companies will fully cooperate with this coup d’état.
Gates and his team assure pandemic planners that they will easily avoid culpability for the wave of long-term neurological injuries that they cause by their experimental vaccines:
According to organizers, the purpose of Gates’s simulation was to prepare “public health communicators” with a step-by-step strategic playbook for the upcoming pandemic. Eighteen months into the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to peruse Gates’s detailed 2018 planning document without feeling that we are all being played.
Gates reiterated: “The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.”
Daszak, at that juncture, was acting as a conduit through which Tony Fauci, Robert Kadlec, the Pentagon (DARPA), and USAID—formerly a CIA cover and nowadays reporting to the National Security Council—were laundering grants to fund gain-of-function experiments, including at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Biosafety Lab.
“We can’t predict when, but given the continual emergence of new pathogens, the increasing risk of a bioterror attack, and how connected our world is through air travel, there is a significant probability of a large and lethal, modern-day pandemic occurring in our lifetimes.” Biological weapons of mass destruction, he warned, had “become easier to create in the lab.” Gates went on to add that “we are supporting efforts by others, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose vaccine candidate [presumably Moderna] is expected to advance to human safety trials in

Playing themselves were ex-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Indianapolis Congresswoman Susan Brooks. Daschle, a former Army Intelligence officer who was among the targets of the 2001 anthrax-laced letters, became a pharmaceutical industry lobbyist by 2018. Susan Brooks, the so-called “Member from Eli Lilly,” founded the Congressional Biodefense Caucus. She also introduced a successful bill in 2015—the Social Media Working Group Act of 2014—to establish a Social Media Bureau within the Department of Homeland Security to facilitate censorship of social media during national emergencies.
The simulation mixed details of past disasters with fictional elements to force government officials and experts to make the kinds of key decisions they could face in a real pandemic. It was a tense day. The exercise was inspired in part by the troubled response to the Ebola epidemic of 2014. Unlike Ebola, “which spreads through direct contact and bodily fluids,” this latest “was a flulike respiratory virus, which would spread far more easily from person to person through coughing and sneezing . . .” In the exercise, schools closed, the demand for surgical masks and respirators far exceeded

None of them recognize that there is no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution. Instead, they were too busy war-gaming a high-level mutiny against American democracy.
And each simulation highlighted the so-called “need” to quarantine and isolate the healthy, censor criticism of the Gates/Fauci vaccines and coerce the population into receiving vaccines rushed into distribution, all in opposition to logic, common sense, and previous public health practices.
A clear strategic objective for Gates and Fauci was the repetition of the message that a global pandemic was inevitable, that only mandatory vaccines could avert catastrophe, and that obliteration of civil rights will be required. Most astonishing was their capacity to mobilize the obliging global media to uncritically swallow and promote these propositions in complete contradiction of all previously accepted science and history.
R&D aimed at rapid vaccine development for novel threats and distributed surge manufacturing. . . . Nucleic acid (RNA and DNA)–based vaccines are widely seen as highly promising and potentially rapid vaccine development pathways, though they have not yet broken through with licensed products.226
This so-called “independent” monitoring and accountability body’s purpose was to validate the imposition of police state controls by global and local political leaders and technocrats, endorsing their efforts to take the kind of harsh actions that Gates’s simulation modeled: subduing resistance, ruthlessly censoring dissent, isolating the healthy, collapsing economies, and compelling vaccination during a projected worldwide health crises.
In June 2019, about twenty weeks before the start of the COVID pandemic, Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO’s health emergencies program, summarized the conclusions of GPMB’s pandemic report, warning that “we are entering a new phase of high impact epidemics” that would constitute “a new normal” where governments worldwide would strengthen control and restrict the mobility of citizens.
The Crimson Contagion exercise achieved eerily accurate forecasting with numbers that precisely predicted the official casualty data for COVID-19: 110 million forecasted illnesses, 7.7 million predicted hospitalizations, and 568,000 deaths in the United States alone.
The New York Times takeaway missed altogether the larger and more significant stories: that the Crimson Contagion’s planners precisely predicted every element of the COVID-19 pandemic—from the shortage of masks to specific death numbers—months before COVID-19 was ever identified as a threat and that their overarching countermeasure was the preplanned demolition of the American Constitution by a scrupulously choreographed palace coup.
The CIA has spent decades studying exactly how to control large populations using these sorts of techniques.”
Event 201 was a signaling exercise, but it was also, as we shall see, a training run for a “government in waiting.” Its principals would quickly move into key positions to run pandemic response a few months later.
Instead, there was abundant palaver about expanding government’s authoritarian powers, imposing draconian restrictions, curtailing traditional civil rights, which might include of rights of assembly, free speech, private property, jury trials, due process, and religious worship, as well as promoting and coercing the uptake of new, patentable, antiviral drugs and vaccines.
Event 201 was as close as one could get to a “real-time” simulation.
Compared to the Gates simulation, therefore, the actual COVID-19 crisis is a bit of a dud. Public health officials claim 2.5 million deaths “attributed to COVID” globally over 13 months.
Event 201’s fourth simulation anticipated the manipulation and control of public opinion and muzzling any colloquy about artificially enhanced pathogens. Everyone voiced their urgent concerns that authorities must instantly squelch and discredit any speculation that someone deliberately or accidentally released a lab-made bug.
“We know that social media is now the primary way that many people get their news, so interruptions to these platforms could curb the spread of misinformation.”
She assured her fellow Event 201 participants that, behind the scenes, the Gates Foundation was already creating algorithms “to sift through information on these social media platforms”257
Former CIA Deputy Director Avril Haines unveiled a strategy to “flood the zone” with propaganda from “trusted sources,” including “influential community leaders, as well as health workers.”
