While the pandemic of the century CoronaVirus shows no sign of stopping but becomes increasingly dramatic hour by hour, even an American biologist attributes this viral form to a chemical weapon that has got out of hand. He obviously does so by insinuating that the perpetrators are the Chinese in what may appear to be a “false-flag” like the 2018 Syrian chemical attack on Douma which was not launched by the Damascus army but organized by the notorious White Helmets and jihadists Al Nusra, with videos of fake wounded in hospitals and tied children really killed by chlorine injuries.

The first Italian infected with CoronaVirus is hospitalized at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome. He is 29 years old, he is originally from Luzzara (Emilia Romagna) and is a researcher in the United States. According to what he learned from ANSA, he was in China in Wuhan for a holiday on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, together with his girlfriend, a Chinese girl from the area. The young man was said to have been in China for a short time before being repatriated with the other Italians.

The death toll from coronavirus has been updated to 636 by the Chinese National Health Commission. Meanwhile, the alarm for health masks, which are nowhere to be found and skyrocketing in price, has been launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “The world faces a chronic shortage of personal protection equipment,” explained from Geneva.
REAL TIME updates: US and JAPAN FIRST VICTIMS
The 30,000 positive cases in China have also been overcome. Currently, 31,161 are infected. The province most affected remains that of Hubei, which has recorded 69 new victims in the last 24 hours. Of the infected, 4,800 are in serious condition, with 61 cases of coronavirus positivity recorded on the Carnival Japan’s Diamond Princess cruise ship in Yokohama Bay, quarantined off Japan. Local media reported. There are also 35 Italians on board the ship, including 25 crew members, including the captain.
Instead, Li Wenliang, the hero doctor who first raised the alarm in China last December on the new coronavirus, has unfortunately died. The hospital announced this, as reported by the Global Times. The official Chinese newspaper had previously given and then corrected the news of the death, explaining that Li was “in critical condition” and that his heart had stopped beating, but was kept alive by the machines for extra-body ventilation.

First discredited by the authorities, then threatened by the police, finally reevaluated by the judiciary and society, the doctor had fallen ill in mid-January, after having unwittingly contracted from a patient with Coronavirus.
Below the summary of the exclusive interview given by the US biologist to the American website Geopolitics and Empire (video in the photo link) on the suspicion of a biological weapon, as reported on YouTube.
«Dr. Francis Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it. The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring».
Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted United States national legislation to implement the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the 1989 Combat Terrorism Weapons Act, which was unanimously approved by both chambers of the American Congress and promulgated by President George W. Bush.
Despite this, as shown in the following article by Gospa News, the Pentagon has launched 25 laboratories for the experimentation and manipulation of viruses to be used in the “Insect Allies” program through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This serious danger, in recent months, has also raised the alarm of one of the most important British universities …

ALARM FROM THE CAMBRIDGE’S RISK CENTER
The viral pandemic vaccine
will be studied by the infamous Glaxo
in trouble for bribes around the world
but Pentagon’s Big Pharma partner
«The technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated at ever-cheaper prices, democratizing the ability to harm more quickly and lethally. In a particularly bad case, a bio-weapon could be built to target a specific ethnic group based on its genomic profile».
Alert doesn’t come from a keyboard conspiracy theorist who wants to find an instigator of the CoronaVirus pandemic in China.
It was launched last summer, in unsuspected times, by the Center for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) of the Cambridge University in a report, that became subject of an article in the science column of the British newspaper The Telegraph, in which it warns that this possibility would be “extremely harmful and potentially unstoppable “.
update CORONAVIRUS IS BIO-WEAPON Us expert said
The report by the prestigious university researchers was an indirect confirmation of the investigation by Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva on biological weapons for mass extermination, focused on the Pentagon’s experiments on “mosquitos” but containing a whole paragraph dedicated precisely to ethnic bio-weapons.
At the heart of the reporter’s investigations, the first to discover the supply of armaments and ammunition from the American Central Intelligence Agency to the ISIS jihadists then confirmed by a dossier of the Turkish think-tank SETA on anti-tank TOW missiles, there were 25 laboratories for the biological research opened by the USA in various countries of the world to escape the bans on the development of similar weapons and bordering on Russia and China.
«US Army regularly produces deadly viruses, bacteria, and toxins in direct violation of the UN Convention on the prohibition of Biological Weapons. Hundreds of thousands of unwitting people are systematically exposed to dangerous pathogens and other incurable diseases».
Biowarfare scientists using diplomatic cover test man-made viruses at Pentagon bio laboratories in 25 countries across the world. These US bio-laboratories are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program– Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP), and are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Africa».
NEO Banned Classic: US Funded ‘Disinformation Oversight’ of Bio Weapons Lab in Georgia
This is the discovery of Gaytandzhieva who in a long and detailed report starts from the Lugar Center started by the USA in Georgia (after the colored revolution of the Rose organized in 2003 by CIA and CANVAS center like the orange one of 2014 in Kiev) to analyze the activities of these laboratories, 11 of which were opened in Ukraine where «on March 2016 364 deaths have been reported across Ukraine (81.3 % caused by Swine Flu A (H1N1) pdm09 – the same strain which caused the world pandemic in 2009)».
«Lugar Center is the Pentagon bio laboratory in Georgia. It is located just 17 km away from the US Vaziani military airbase in the capital Tbilisi. Tasked with the military program are biologists from the US Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-G) along with private contractors. The Bio-safety Level 3 Laboratory is accessible only to US citizens with security clearance. They are accorded diplomatic immunity under the 2002 US-Georgia Agreement on defense cooperation» reads on the report.
«The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has outsourced much of the work under the military program to private companies, which are not held accountable to Congress, and which can operate more freely and move around the rule of law. US civilian personnel performing work at The Lugar Center have also been given diplomatic immunity, although they are not diplomats. Hence, private companies can perform work, under diplomatic cover, for the US government without being under the direct control of the host state – in this case, the Republic of Georgia. This practice is often used by the CIA to provide cover for its agents».
Professor Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and co-founder of CSER (Center for the Study of Existential Risk of Cambridge University), said o The Telegraph: «Global problems require global solutions. But countries must also act individually. Without action, these catastrophic risks will only grow over time, whether it be on climate change, eco-threats, synthetic biology or cyber. Governments have a responsibility to act, both to minimize the risk of such events, and to make plans to cope with a catastrophe if it occurred».
PENTAGON’S BIOGENETIC WEAPONS AND VIRUS BIO-ENGINEERING
About a year after the journalistic investigation, the Center for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) of the University of Cambridge raised the alarm: «In a new report, experts called on policy-makers to ‘protect their citizens’ and start preparing for events such as a devastating bioengineered pandemic or programmers losing control of AI systems. Highlighting some of their major concerns the report authors write: “More nefarious hands could (as they have before) develop pathogens and toxins to spread through air, food and water sources» wrote Sarah Knapton, Science Editor for The Telegraph.
Just the “bio-engineering” is one of the topics touched by the report of the Bulgarian journalist who cites dozens of research experiments on lethal bacteria and viruses such as anthrax, cholera, ebola, botulinum that the Pentagon legitimizes for “defensive” purposes which obviously they can become offensive at any moment …
«The Pentagon has invested at least $65 million in gene editing. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded 7 research teams to develop tools for genome engineering in insects, rodents, and bacteria under DARPA’s Safe Gene program, using a novel CRISPR-Cas9 technology» highlighted Gaytandzhieva.
«Under another military program –Insect Allies, GM insects are engineered to transfer modified genes to plants. The $10.3 million DARPA project includes both gene editing in insects and in the viruses that they transmit. Ecological Niche-preference Engineering is a third ongoing military program for genome engineering in insects. The Pentagon’s stated objective is to engineer GM organisms so that they can resist certain temperatures, change their habitat and food sources».
«Besides gene editing in insects and in the viruses they transmit, the Pentagon wants to engineer humans as well. DARPA Advanced Tools for Mammalian Genome Engineering Project seeks to create a biological platform inside the human body, using it to deliver new genetic information, and thus altering humans at the DNA level» told the Bulgarian journalist.
«The Pentagon Bio-WeaponsDARPA wants to insert an additional 47th artificial chromosome into human cells. This chromosome will deliver new genes that will be used for engineering the human body. SynPloid Biotek LLC has been awarded two contracts under the program totaling $1.1 million (2015-2016 – $ 100,600 for the first phase of the research; 2015-2017 – $ 999,300 for work which is not specified in the federal contracts registry. The company has only two employees and no previous record on bio-research».
And it is in this context that ethnic biological weapons or biogenetic weapons would be grafted according to the Bulgarian journalist.
«Although officially the research and development of ethnic bio-weapons have never been publicly confirmed, documents show that the US collects biological material from certain ethnic groups – Russians and Chinese. The US Air Force has been specifically collecting Russian RNA and synovial tissue samples, raising fears in Moscow of a covert US ethnic bio-weapons program» adds the report.
«Apart from the Russians, the US has been collecting biological material from both healthy and cancer patients in China. The National Cancer Institute has collected biological samples from 300 subjects from Linxian, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu in China. While another federal project, titled Serum Metabolic biomarkers discovery study of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in China, includes an analysis of 349 serum samples that have been collected from Chinese patients.
CORONA VIRUS AS BIO-WEAPON: SUSPICIONS BY CHINESE
In light of these considerations, supported by the alarm launched by the University of Cambridge, the suspicion that CoronaVirus itself is bringing China to its knees is also making headway among scientists, both for the social and economic emergencies may be a bio-weapon that has gone out of control…
Initially, the finger was pointed at the Wuhan research laboratory, the epicenter of the epidemic in the central Chinese province of Hubei, but today other international geopolitical sites widen the circle of suspects.
«Long confined to the sphere of conspiracy, the thesis according to which the sudden onset of the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV epidemic in Wuhan, China, is the result of an indirect and asymmetric biological attack seems increasingly plausible» wrote the portal Strategika51 in an article also republished on Reseau International.
The transfer of a replica of the coronavirus from a secret laboratory in the United States to a research laboratory in a member country of the Five Eyes (intelligence agreement among US, UK, Canada, Australian, and New Zealand secret service – ed) and in this case Australia again gives rise to the wildest speculations and for the moment excludes the hypothesis of the accident that would have hit a highly specialized biological laboratory located in Wuhan.
Chinese researchers have been able to replicate a genetic sequence from the virus, but not from the virus itself. However, Australian researchers have a replica of the coronavirus and claim to be on track for a vaccine.
The first country in the world to suspect a bio-weapon behind the 2019-nCoV coronavirus epidemic in China is North Korea. The country has closed its borders, canceled an underground atomic test and decreed general mobilization. So far, no Chinese media has raised the thesis on the bioarm, although the topic is raging in the ruling circles of the Chinese Communist Party and officers of the People’s Liberation Army of China» adds Strategika.
CORONA VIRUS PATENT FOR CHICKENS ONLY
Among the so-called “fake news” conspiracy theorists that spread just after the epidemic, which then became a pandemic with the global emergency declared by the World Health Organization, also entered the research on the CoronaVirus patented by the Pirbright Institute. A study that the authors claim is only for chickens …
The Pirbright Institute patent, according to the Associated Press, relates to two viruses that are part of the coronavirus family: one related to avian infectious bronchitis, which infects poultry, and the swine delta-coronavirus, which infects pigs. The Pirbright Institute itself has clarified that its patent (n. 10130701) concerns “the development of a weakened form of the coronavirus that could potentially be used as a vaccine to prevent respiratory diseases in birds and other animals” and which currently has no dealing with human coronaviruses”.
Until proven otherwise, one can only believe this authoritative denial. But many areas of shadow remain precisely on this “track” on the probable origin of the virus.
The present invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. The coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject» reads on the presentation of the patent registered in the USA by the Pirbright Institute which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation but above all by the Wellcome Trust, a charity in London founded in 1936 thanks to the legacy left by the American tycoon of the pharmaceutical industry Sir Henry Wellcome.
GSK: A STORY OF SCANDALS AND JUDICIAL INQUIRIES
While Burroughs, Wellcome and Co.’s commercial corporate assets ended up in the hands of Glaxo Wellcome, which in 2000 took over the Anglo-American pharmaceutical company SmithKline Beecham for 76 billion dollars, after another merger, Glaxo SmithKline plc was born, the world’s leading vaccine company that is one of DARPA’s main partners in the field of the new branch on biology launched by the Pentagon agency in 2014.
The pharmaceutical giant was born in the wake of an infinite series of scandals and judicial events demonstrating a great shamelessness in the management of medicines and, consequently, the health of people.
In July 2012, GlaxoSmithKline was convicted of the largest medical fraud case in the United States. Following this, he agreed to pay $ 3 billion in compensation, which is the largest compensation paid by a pharmaceutical company. The deal is related to the company’s illegal promotion of drug prescriptions, the fact that it has not correctly reported safe usage data, the bribery of doctors and the promotion of medicines for unauthorized use» reports Wikipedia.
In February 1991 the President of the “Smith Kline Beecham” (producer of the Engerix B vaccine) allegedly paid 600 million old lira for his admission, to the then Minister of Health the little Hon. De Lorenzo to obtain various favors. Since the aforementioned company is the only producer of the “Engerix B” vaccine, a vaccine made mandatory for hepatitis B in May ’91, we ask you to check whether there is a direct or indirect relationship between this payment and the proposal by the Minister of Health to adopt single country legislation that made said hepatitis B vaccination mandatory in Italy.
It was written in a complaint addressed to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Court of Milan by the Association for the Freedom of Therapeutic Choice before Francesco De Lorenzo (together with the former director of the Duilio Pharmaceutical Service Poggiolini), was sentenced not only to 5 years in prison but also to compensate the Italian State with over 5 million euros each for the damage caused to the image.
Despite the ascertained bribery, the vaccine for Hepatitis B in Italy remained mandatory, Smith Kline Beecham was absorbed by Glaxo which in 2016 doubled its investments in Italian laboratories before the government of Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni’s Democratic Party, thanks to the Lorenzin Decree of July 28, 2017, made the 10 vaccines mandatory (anti-polio, anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus, anti-hepatitis B, anti-pertussis, anti-Haemophilus influenza type b, anti-measles, anti-rubella, anti-mumps, anti-chickenpox) including the hexavalent for the first 6 diseases, considered dangerous by many pediatricians for the lack of tests.
PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN GLAXO & PENTAGON
This pilot experiment took place in relation to a “guinea pig” project on Italian health within the Global Health Security Agenda dictated by the White House in September 2014 in the presence of US President Barack Obama. Just in the same year in which the DARPA Department of Defense agency began developing the biological sector in 2014.
In that same year, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded GSK a supply of $ 6.5 million worth of vaccines for its troops. It was not the first and not the last since there are important synergies also for the study of other biotechnologies.
DSO continues to build and foster partnerships that help guide our programs and identify opportunities for transition. For example, relationships with the DoD components, DHS, and other federal, state, local and U.S. allied partners have facilitated the transition, commercialization and operational deployment of our SIGMA system, a city-scale sensor network for detecting radiological and nuclear threats.
Valerie Browning, director of DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office (DSO), wrote in a dossier last June about the synergies between some Big Pharma multinationals and the Pentagon agency.
Another exemplary partnership is the “Machine Learning for Pharmaceutical Discovery and Synthesis Consortium” that was established by the MIT Make-It research team. The consortium already has 13 members from companies such as Merck, Pfizer, Bayer, and GlaxoSmithKline that are using the MIT Make-It software tools, that guide the synthesis of new molecules and providing feedback to MIT to improve performance.
AUSTRALIA AND GLAXO IN SEARCH OF THE VACCINE
In the meantime, today the challenge is growing worldwide to find the cure for CoronaVirus which in China has already killed 425, more than Sars’ 299 in 2003, and over 20 thousand infected people who have grown at a dizzying rate in the last few days with infections between people of Asian genotype in Italy (2), the USA (11) in Thailand (5), Australia (2), Japan and Vietnam (1 each) and one death in the Philippines and Hong Kong.
Thailand would have identified a curative drug capable of acting in just 48 hours by developing an antimalarial medicine together with one against HIV. A similar solution would have been identified in the last few hours by the Chinese researchers in Wuhan themselves.
While the University of Queensland (UQ) announced on Friday that it had been asked to develop a vaccine for the recent Chinese coronavirus outbreak, using the rapid response technology recently developed by the university.
«In a statement, the university announced it had received a request to develop a vaccine from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which describes itself as “an innovative partnership between public, private, philanthropic, and civil organizations” which seeks to develop vaccines to protect the world against outbreaks. Head of the university’s School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, Professor Paul Young, said in a statement that UQ has novel technology for the rapid development of vaccines, which could provide a vaccine within six months» reported Business Insider.
But in the research field, of course, the contribution of the world leader on vaccines could not be missing.
«British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline Plc is collaborating with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to contribute towards the effort of developing a vaccine for the coronavirus outbreak, GSK and CEPI said on Monday. GSK will make its “adjuvant platform technology” available for developing a vaccine against the 2019-nCoV virus, according to the statement» wrote Reuters.
The use of adjuvant allows for the production of more vaccine doses and hence would increase availability to more people. GSK will engage with entities funded by the CEPI with the first of these agreements having been signed between the British drugmaker and Australia’s University of Queensland, the statement added» reads further in the agency report.
After the terror of the pandemic, the hope of the vaccine finally arrives: together with a colossal business for the first who will be able to develop it.
Do we bet that for the joy of DARPA and the Pentagon will be GSK?

“It’s fiat that is worthless. ” Not true. Money, of whatever sort, is worth what it will buy. If it were worthless, it would buy nothing. Clearly that is not the case. If you really think it is worthless I can send you an account number where you can donate it. You may think that inventing money out of thin air and then lending it out at interest is bare-faced robbery and I would agree with you, completely, but that is something else.
There is one thing that the world doesn’t understand …
America being the self-proclaimed “Land of God” where the phrase “God Bless America” always ends a speech, is the mother of all evils to humanity. Which Bible is used in America, and what kind of Bible School did they attend ??
Victor for president!!! 😉
Which Bible learned Trump and Pence? I think the Walt Disney comic strip version…
May be was better Obama, Biden and Hillary who never read the Bible but Bilderberg and NWO laws only! They have been more consistent in their malice
“American Standard Version – Wikipedia
Search domain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Versionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Version”
I have read that this is a sneaky Zionist version of the King James Bible. Personally, I cannot remember seeing a copy of it, but I read that it is the usual version in the USA.
I remember a message years ago when they collected Russian DNA samles which was forbidden at that time.
Thanks Lyra! Your comment is the better satisfaction for many hours of research. 😉
Pandemics appear to be a better herd thinner than wars, so more of them may be expected. Scary, is that I read that the virus may have a longer lifespan on hard surfaces than thought. Saliva and body wastes may not be the only means of transmission.
Why would the Chinese develop a bio weapon that targets their own ethnic group? Looks and smells like a bio attack by the US. Comes after China and Russia set up alternatives to SWIFT, drop the Dollar for trades, open up a major gas pipeline and China signes a $400billion trade deal with Iran.
Easy to explain and understand 😉 Thanks Nexus789
China getting to big for its boots – Become an alternative international partner in place of the US, expanding its sphere of influence into neighboring countries, Belt and Road, dropping the dollar, becoming a manufacturing powerhouse, not playing fair on trade negotiations.
Deep State: Time to release the racially targeted Bio-Weapons & drop em off near China’s Level-4 bio facility for plausible deniability.
Me: Deep State your so badass. 🙂
A new Spanish flu could be unleashed on the world. It was done before what a horrible thought. These insane monsters with unlimited money are evil enough to do it
There is no such thing as “unlimited money” It’s fiat that is worthless. It only has value because we are forced to use it by legal tender laws. Common sense says if the “money” is good, why do you need to force people to use it, and if it’s not good, why should you force people to use it?
You REALLY must read Yoichi Shimatsu on this!
REALLY!!!
I’d say it’s a way:
– to provide media with loads of content (every day another person in another country infected) ;
– to get people ready for vaccines (what’s in them , something that can change yr dna / lots of money for a few),
– to make people scared , not trusting their bodies and immune systems (which are amazing).
There is no end to the reckless depravity of a staggering number of human beings.
