In May of that year, WHO had detected some excess cases of seasonal flu, but the symptoms were mild and death rates were very low—fewer than 145 people worldwide over eleven weeks since its first appearance.63 Nevertheless, the agency decided, in secret meetings, to declare a global pandemic. WHO’s declaration activated $18 billion worth of sleeper contracts64 that WHO—and Gates’s other organizations—had pressured various African and European countries to sign with GlaxoSmithKline and other pharmaceutical companies.65 These secretive agreements obliged signatory nations including Germany,

In 2009, Van Ranst served as Belgium’s flu commissioner, in charge of managing crisis communication. To audible and admiring guffaws, Van Ranst told his corps d’elite audience how to stage a pandemic: “You have one opportunity to do it right. You have to go for one voice, one message. . . . You have to be omnipresent that first day or days, so you attract media attention . . . and they’re not going to search for alternative voices.” He explained that “talking about fatalities is important because . . . people say wow, what do you mean, people die because of influenza? That was a necessary step

Many of them would regret their choice. Research by Goldman in 2013 documented an elevenfold increase in fetal loss reports following the 2009–2010 pandemic flu season when pregnant women received two seasonal flu vaccines during pregnancy, and the H1N1 vaccine.79 A 2017 CDC study links miscarriage to flu vaccines, particularly in the first trimester. Pregnant women vaccinated in the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 flu seasons had two times greater odds of having a miscarriage within twenty-eight days of receiving the vaccine. In women who had received the H1N1 vaccine in the previous flu season, the

Two months after Dr. Fauci made these public assurances, an explosion of grave side effects, including miscarriages, narcolepsy, and febrile convulsions, was causing carnage in multiple countries.83 According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA),84 Pandemrix caused more than 980 cases of severe neurological injuries, paralysis from Guil-lain-Barré syndrome, debilitating narcolepsy, and cataplexy, including in more than 500 children. The Glaxo vaccine killed and injured so many children and health workers with various forms of brain damage that it forced Glaxo to withdraw the vaccine.85
Epidemiologist Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, chairman of the Health Committee, of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), declared that the 2009 “false pandemic” was “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century.”87
As usual, there was no investigation of Dr. Fauci or the other medical officials who choreographed this multibillion-dollar fraud. The pharmaceutical companies walked away with billions, sticking governments and taxpayers with the ruinous cost of compensating flu shot injuries.
ratings for the networks, obligingly heaped fuel onto Dr. Fauci’s Zika terror crusade. Fear drives viewership. As CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester explained to industry analysts during the COVID-19 crisis, “COVID? Gangbusters with ratings, right? Which is why we have the death toll on the side.”
Professor Hiroyuki Matsuoka at Jichi Medical University in Japan to engineer mosquitoes that can act as “flying syringes” to inject malaria vaccine into people—both the willing and the unwilling.102 In 2021, Gates would expand on this macabre project by investing $25 million in an effort to genetically modify mosquitoes to stealthily deliver coronavirus vaccine to the vaccine-hesitant.103, 104 I’m not joking.
July 2014, Lance Gordon, the BMGF’s director for Neglected Infectious Diseases in its Global Health Program, released news that the Sanofi Pasteur experimental dengue vaccine that Gates and Dr. Fauci funded was showing positive clinical results. Amidst his sunny forecast, Gordon made an ominous allusion that would have sounded DEFCON 1 to anyone decoding its implication. NIAID’s clinical trials in Brazil, he acknowledged, showed signals of “pathogenic priming.” That foreboding phrase describes an enhanced immune response that can trigger system-wide inflammation and death when the vaccinated

A year and a half later, Sanofi announced that it had new information about the vaccine’s safety. Confirming Dr. Halstead’s fears, the company made the alarming admission that Dengvaxia did indeed increase the risk of hospitalization and cytoplasmic leakage syndrome.127 By this time, health officials had already inoculated some 800,000 Filipino children. At least 600 had died.128 The WHO eventually changed its recommendation, saying that Dengvaxia was safe only for kids who’d had a prior dengue infection and admitting that 100,000 should not have received the shot. Following autopsies on 600

The compelling evidence suggesting that COVID-19 emanated from a Fauci-funded Little Shop of Horrors in Wuhan, China, raises the ironic possibility that the man whom two US presidents have charged with leading the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic may be the same man who spawned it. That strange paradox might cause some to cynically ponder the logic behind Dr. Fauci’s peculiar decisions to defy President Obama’s 2014 gain-of-function moratorium, to dodge NIH’s internal safety review committee, to launder money to Chinese scientists with military affiliations through a sketchy bioweapons

Pharma titan George W. Merck ran the Pentagon’s offensive bioweapons program while simultaneously directing his drug manufacturing behemoth. Merck boasted that his team could deliver biowarfare agents without vast expenditures or constructing huge facilities. Another advantage of bioweapons, he remarked, was that their development could proceed under the guise of legitimate medical research.
Project Artichoke was an experimental CIA interrogation program that used psychoactive drugs like LSD in pursuit of “enhanced” interrogation methods. The project was part of a larger CIA program exploring approaches for controlling both individuals and populations.
Most historians date the nativity of the modern “Biosecurity Agenda” to the October 2001 anthrax attacks. But years earlier, military and medical industrial complex planners were already conceptualizing biosecurity as a potent strategy for leveraging potential pandemics or bioterrorism into vast funding increases, and as a device for metamorphosing America, the world’s exemplary democracy, into a national security state with global dominance.
At 2:47 in the early morning of February 1, 2020, four hours after his loyal grantee, virologist Kristian Andersen, informed Dr. Fauci that he and other leading biologists believed that the genetic sequence responsible for the “furin cleave” on the virus's “spike protein”—the peculiar structure that allows the organism to bind tightly to, and infect cells with the ACE-2 receptor—was highly unlikely to be the product of natural selection, Dr. Anthony Fauci fired a carefully worded email to Kadlec. Dr. Fauci’s other emails from that evening suggest that he was intensely worried that the Chinese

Kadlec urgently recommended the creation of a Strategic National Stockpile to warehouse countermeasures including vaccines and antibiotics, and recommended regulatory changes to provide for mandatory vaccinations and coercive quarantines in the event of a pandemic. Those ideas helped win him an appointment as Special Assistant for Biodefense Planning to President George W. Bush after the post–September 11 anthrax attacks later that same year.15 From this sinecure, Kadlec’s fervent lobbying persuaded Congress to establish a Strategic National Stockpile, whose contents are currently worth $7

Kadlec’s simulations, and over a dozen that would succeed it over the next twenty plus years—many under Bill Gates’s direction—shared common features. None of them emphasized protecting public health by showing Americans how to bolster their immune systems, to eat well, to lose weight, to exercise, to maintain vitamin D levels, and to avoid chemical exposure. None of these focused on devising the vital communications infrastructures to link frontline doctors during a pandemic or to facilitate the development and refinement of optimal treatment protocols. None of these dealt seriously with the

Pandemic simulations: police state over population learning prevention and mitigations to boost immune health and use off label treatments
The mailing of anthrax introduced Americans to a new enemy more frightening than garden-variety terrorism. While terrorists could destroy key buildings and airliners, the biosecurity narrative warns that pathogens could enter any American home and invisibly slay its occupants. Germs, therefore, easily outgunned al-Qaeda as a reliable wellspring of terror. This was the lesson Kadlec had been broadcasting for five years. The delivery of anthrax through the mail brought home his jeremiads. By 2020, biosecurity would altogether eclipse Islamic terrorism as the spear tip of US military and foreign

In 1999, they bulldozed the factory and rebuilt it at taxpayer expense. The state of Michigan sweetened the deal. But the FDA would not give its stamp of approval to the new manufacturing facility. BioPort, with a hefty lobbying team and designer furniture in its executive offices, kept crying poor and coming back to the US government for additional handouts24 before finally falling into a death spiral around the bankruptcy drain in mid-2001.25 The October 2001 anthrax incidents proved the El-Hibris’ salvation. The Pentagon leveraged the strange attacks, turning them into the long-awaited

O’Toole’s nomination to undersecretary at the Department of Homeland Security also prompted objections from more mainstream bioweapons experts, including the preeminent Rutgers microbiologist Richard Ebright: “She was the single most extreme person, either in or out of government, advocating for a massive biodefense expansion and relaxation of provisions for safety and security.” Ebright added, “She makes Dr. Strangelove look sane. O’Toole supported every flawed decision and counterproductive policy on biodefense, biosafety, and biosecurity during the Bush Administration. O’Toole is as out of

Ironically, even Dr. Fauci, who by then was already the king of embellishing and fabricating pandemics, voiced his disapproval of O’Toole and Kadlec’s extreme Dark Winter exaggerations, which Dr. Fauci declared “much, much worse than would have been the case” in real life.36 The transmission rate of smallpox was not the only area where Dr. O’Toole and Kadlec ignored facts. On February 19, 2002, O’Toole wrote that “Many experts believe that the smallpox virus is not confined to these two official repositories [one in the United States and one in Russia] and may be in the possession of states or

Another Dark Winter planner, Jerome Hauer, along with spymaster James Wool-sey and New York Times reporter Judith Miller, spent the three weeks between 9/11 and 10/4 banging the gong about imminent anthrax attacks, carpet-bombing the television talk shows, kibitzing on the nightly news, and gabbing up the Sunday morning TV gasbags. Judith Miller received special assistance in this task from her employer, the New York Times, which published her numerous alarmist reports and warnings about coming biological attacks on American soil. Incredibly, the attack arrived exactly as Miller, Hauer, and

Miller’s jingoistic reporting—New York Magazine dubbed her “Chicken Little”— played such a decisive role in validating the White House warmongers’ Iraq invasion agenda that the New York Times afterward made an unprecedented apology for its role in what then was, arguably, the worst foreign policy decision in United States history.
The pervasive CIA involvement in the global vaccine putsch should give us pause. There is nothing in the CIA’s history, in its charter, in its composition, or in its institutional culture that betrays an interest in promoting either public health or democracy. The CIA’s historical preoccupations have been power and control. The CIA has been involved in at least seventy-two attempted and successful coups d’état between 1947 and 1989,50 involving about a third of the world’s governments. Many of these were functioning democracies. The CIA does not do public health. It does not do democracy. The

The smallpox vaccine was known to be highly reactogenic. . . . When the vaccine was given to healthcare workers and first responders in 2003, episodes of heart failure, heart attacks, myocarditis, and death quickly mounted. Doctors and nurses learned that they could not sue for damages if injured, and at first there was no federal compensation either. They began refusing to be vaccinated.52 The Clinton administration continued to stockpile millions of smallpox vaccines and Congress allotted money for a compensation program, but the maximum award was only $250,000 for a permanent disability or

By abolishing traditional privacy protection, the Patriot Act created “an entire terror industry,” according to a 2021 report by Action Center on Race and Economy. The biggest beneficiaries have been Silicon Valley tech companies, particularly Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, who have partnered with federal intelligence agencies to mine data and “profit from the war on terror by at least $44 billion since 2001.” The Patriot Act passage, the report says, “opened the door for Big Tech to become, first and foremost, the brokers of our personal data, selling it to secret agencies and private

Instead of pointing the finger at Saddam, the FBI lab found that the anthrax spores originated from one of three US Army labs; Fort Detrick; a lab at the University of Scranton; or Battelle’s West Jefferson facility, owned by an El-Hibri business partner.59 The FBI closed its investigation after its leading suspect, a vaccinologist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who ran the US Army lab at Fort Detrick, allegedly took his own life. A multitude of critics of the shoddy and haphazard FBI investigation complained that Ivins was the victim of a ham-handed FBI frame. According to the FBI’s former lead

Gold Rush In the summer of 2001, two months before the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, the Department of Defense officially launched its drive to revive bioweapons research by sending a report to Congress, authored by Kadlec, pleading that the military’s system for developing vaccines to protect troops from anthrax, smallpox, and other exotic bioweapons “is insufficient and will fail.”67 Beginning with the 9/11 attack, the War on Terror triggered a tectonic shift in global security priorities and elephantine ripples in defense spending patterns across the globe as open democracies began

The Pentagon’s assault on the vaccine space was both an opportunity and threat to Dr. Fauci and NIAID.
Dr. Fauci sharpened his elbows and began maneuvering for a leading role for NIAID in milking the BARDA/Homeland Security’s cash cows. NIAID’s biosecurity budget went from zero dollars in 2000 to $1.7 billion after the 2001 anthrax letters, much of that for bioweapons vaccines.
Nestling the El-Hibris under his protective wing, Dr. Fauci swept aside FDA’s safety concerns and publicly praised BioPort’s experimental anthrax vaccine, BioThrax. He brushed aside the reservations of critics that the El-Hibris never established BioThrax’s safety with some of his prototypical dissembling. Dr. Fauci said, “The vaccine is designed to get the immune system to recognize the proteins—and therefore the bacteria—and destroy both.”74 In a December 2001 PBS interview, Fauci promised to deliver BioThrax—which had failed to pass a single FDA audit during the prior four years—at record

When no further bioterror attacks occurred over the next ten years, Dr. Fauci skillfully maintained his annual $1.7 billion biosecurity funding by deftly recalibrating his rhetoric away from bioterrorism hype. Instead, he invoked the new panic of natural but emerging infectious diseases. Dr. Fauci’s pivot to conflate infectious disease with terrorism proved a milestone inflection point in the militarization of pandemic response and in overcoming the traditional revulsion among Western democracies—codified in the Nuremberg Charter—against coercive medical interventions.
On January 4, 2020, Callahan called Dr. Robert Malone from China just as the coronavirus began taking its first wave of casualties. Malone, a former contractor to the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and the chief medical officer at Alchem Laboratories, is the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology platform. Malone first met Callahan in 2009 through Malone’s sometime business partner, Daryl Galloway, a CIA officer who formerly served in the US Navy and at one point held the post of director of JSTO in the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
El-Hibri and his son, gnawing on gristle prior to 10/4, began fattening themselves on NIAID and BARDA contracts. With friends like Fauci and Kadlec in high places, BioPort, which changed its name to Emergent BioSolutions in 2004 to escape its checkered past, was enjoying the first bright days of the charmed journey that would place the El-Hibris among the elite army of COVID-19 nouveaux-billionaires in 2021.93
After 2001, Rumsfeld’s Pentagon agreed to hike BioPort’s compensation by 30 percent—from $3.35 in its 1998 contract to $4.70 per dose—and to purchase anthrax shots for 2.4 million members of the armed forces, each of whom the military would require to receive six doses over an eighteen-month period.94
The anthrax deal was exceptionally ridiculous, since antibiotics are a far safer, more elegant, and more useful defense against anthrax. The prescribed remedy, ciprofloxacin, is a cheap, commonly used antibiotic that Tony Fauci himself recommended after the 2001 postal incidents. “The best approach toward anthrax is antimicrobial therapy,” Dr. Fauci admitted to Congress in 2007.95 Indeed, the night of the 9/11 attacks, the White House Medical Office thoughtfully and presciently dispensed ciprofloxacin to select White House staff who were accompanying Dick Cheney to the safety of Camp David.
As soon as Emergent completed its acquisition of the Sanofi smallpox jab, Kadlec moved to increase the government’s stockpile of these worthless and dangerous vaccines. Sanofi Pasteur had been charging the stockpile $4.27 per dose and had five years remaining on a ten-year government contract worth about $425 million. The El-Hibris initially sought only a modest price increase, but Kadlec generously finalized a sweetheart deal with his friends and former business partners, doubling the five-year term that the El-Hibris had requested to ten years. Kadlec also doubled the number of doses per

To finance these windfalls for the El-Hibris, Kadlec needed to short other stockpile supplies. By the time the novel coronavirus emerged, the stockpile had only 12 million N95 respirators. Kadlec also scuttled an Obama-era initiative to spend a relatively trivial $35 million to build a machine that could produce 1.5 million N95 masks per day. To rationalize their inventory gaps, Kadlec pled poverty.116 The New York Times reported shocking shortfalls in protective gear for health care workers, ventilators, and masks just as the COVID-19 crisis called for them. Well aware of the situation,

In September 2019, less than a month before COVID began circulating, the Gates Foundation made a $55 million pre-IPO equity investment in BioNTech. The company also had never brought a single product to market.120 Soon afterward, the German government followed Gates with a $445 million infusion into BioNTech.121 On July 21, 2020, when Robert Kadlec committed Operation Warp Speed to a $2 billion purchase of 100 million doses of BioNTech/Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine,122 the company’s stock value soared, with Bill Gates’s equity shares increasing to an evaluation of $1.1 billion. In October 2020,

When in April 2021, Emergent BioSolutions ruined 15 million Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines due to quality-control mishaps at its poorly managed Baltimore production facility, Congress launched an investigation into whether Emergent used high-level connections to get billions of dollars in federal contracts despite a history of failing to deliver satisfactorily on its contracts.132 Congressional investigators also raised concerns about Emergent’s inadequate staff training, persistent quality-control issues, and the company stiffing the government with an “unjustified” 800 percent price

HHS ordered Emergent to discard millions of contaminated doses. Instead, in March 2021, the company shipped millions of doses of its defective vaccines to Canada, Europe, South Africa, and Mexico. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis held a hearing on May 19, 2021, and ordered Emergent to turn over all its federal contracts since 2015 and all communications with Robert Kadlec.136 Emergent’s political invincibility left the company unbowed by all those scandals. In July 2020, Emergent announced a five-year, $450 million deal to manufacture COVID drugs for Johnson &

Characteristically, the assembled eminences bypassed any discussion of bolstering people’s immune system response or testing and distributing off-label therapeutics and went directly to recommending militarized strategies including police state controls, mass propaganda and censorship, and the suspension of civil rights and due process rulemaking in favor of diktats by health authorities, all aimed at coercive vaccination of the population. These scenarios, which health officials and spooks conceived of and gamed back in 2005, became our collective reality in 2020 and 2021.
Once again, military style control over teaching the populace immune health and off-label therapeutics
Atlantic Storm and Global Mercury were additional loud notes amplifying persistent Pentagon signals that biosecurity was the emerging growth sector for national defense.
“If SCL weren’t so earnest, it might actually seem to be mocking itself, or perhaps George Orwell. At the end of the smallpox scenario, dramatic music fades out to a taped message urging buyers to ‘embrace’ strategic communications, which it describes as ‘the most powerful weapon in the world.’ . . . What makes SCL’s strategy so unusual is that it proposes to propagate its campaign domestically, at least some of the time, and rather than influence just opinion, it wants people to take a particular course of action.”144 The company based its psyops strategies on propaganda techniques developed

How War Games Became Instruments for Imposing Obedience Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of these Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the “New Normal.” The consistent feature is an affinity among their simulation designers for militarizing medicine and introducing centralized autocratic governance. Each rehearsal ends with the same grim punchline: the global pandemic is an excuse to justify the

Virtually all of the scenario planning for pandemics employ technical assumptions and strategies familiar to anyone who has read the CIA’s notorious psychological warfare manuals for shattering indigenous societies, obliterating traditional economics and social bonds, for using imposed isolation and the demolition of traditional economies to crush resistance, to foster chaos, demoralization, dependence and fear, and for imposing centralized and autocratic governance.151 In particular, the exercises incorporate psyop techniques gleaned from the notorious “Milgram Obedience Experiments.” In

Lockdowns use known psyops techniques to break domestic lifestyles, social fabric, and economies and overtake countries
In an equally important revelation, the CIA mind-control experiments identified social isolation as the primary protocol for controlling societal and individual behavior: “In 1960, one of the agency’s most active contractors, Lawrence Hinkle of Cornell, confirmed the significance of [social isolation] . . . for the CIA mind-control effort . . . in light of the neurological literature, the most promising of all known techniques.”
Social isolation affects organic brain development, and the human body, length of life, cardiovascular health, and so on. Social isolation doubles the risk of death in Blacks while increasing the risk of early death in Caucasians by 60–84 percent, while other studies show that it is safer to smoke fifteen cigarettes a day—or be an alcoholic—than to be socially isolated: Meta-analysis co-authored by Julianne Holt-Lunstad, PhD, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University, [found that] lack of social connection heightens health risks as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a

The various scenario-planning simulations provided a unique forum to convene key decision makers, and to introduce, and then to sanction, with authoritative voices, previously unspeakable conduct that violated democratic and ethical norms. That conduct included the forced isolation and quarantine of entire populations, including the healthy; censoring free speech; violating privacy with track and trace surveillance systems; trampling property rights and religious freedoms; and obliterating traditional economies via nationwide business lockdowns, enforced masking, coercive medical
