Earlier this morning a friend sent me this news article, which I promptly went to read about, and for a couple of hours I pondered on writing this together with my other synthetic biology piece, but that one is focused on AI and the future of war, so I rather write a standalone, shorter, mini-Future of War, and preferably link this article to others.
I advise you to watch the short, 4 minutes video in the first news article.
I’ve never seen anything like this’: Illegal medical lab discovered in Reedley
An investigation into a Reedley warehouse uncovered a large-scale illegal medical lab complete with bioengineered mice, infectious agents, nearly 30 refrigerators and freezers some of which were non-operational, incubators, and more leaving officials shocked and the public worried.
Local, state, and federal agencies are all involved and what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building.
It was inside an ordinary warehouse located on “I” and Ninth Streets in the City of Reedley that a disturbing and shocking discovery was made back in April.
“This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba.
Even county health officials were left in shock.
“I’ve never seen this in my 26-year career with the County of Fresno,” said Assistant Director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health Joe Prado.
What was supposed to be an empty building used only for storage was home to a black-market type of lab testing facility.
“There are no more biologicals. There are no more mice, but they still will see us abating, 30 freezers and fridges, medical equipment, and all sorts of furniture in there. They’ll still see some activity, nothing hazardous at this point,” Zieba said.
This hidden illegal (legal term is “unlicensed”) medical laboratory was uncovered, by mere accident back in April, and only now made public knowledge. This is truly a remarkable piece of news in so far it is not an everyday finding.
In the ever-evolving landscape of fracturing global affairs, hybrid war, and its cascade effects, events can often appear isolated and disconnected, thus I tried hard to find previous mentions I’ve written about the following issue, alas I could not find any mention in any of the platforms I use, the only traces of these observations were found on the physical media I love the most. Paper. In my journey to understand the complex myriad of cascade effects that was about to unfold, I alongside others observed a concerning hidden trend in years to come.
Black laboratories. As the name implies come from Black Operations, military operations designed for complete plausible deniability, and for the most part being untraceable.
In regards to synthetic biology, black labs are laboratories conducting research outside academic and governmental oversight, without proper containment measures or “barrier of entry”, a black lab can theoretically conduct any research it desires for any goal the researcher or the funder has in mind, including gain of function, the trend du jour. These laboratories are far more common than most experts in Academia, Intelligence, and government entities are willing or comfortable to accept, and given its cryptic, hidden nature by design, it is extremely difficult to attempt to mitigate or forecast the problem.
In one of the articles above you will find that this clandestine (another military term for black ops FYI) is owned by a Chinese individual, with connections to two Chinese companies. What made instantly picked my interest was the list of pathogens this clandestine lab potentially had. To understand the points I am about to make, the following articles are encouraged reading (to better grasp all my writing, they are somewhat required, from a bigger picture perspective).
The list of pathogens could be described as somewhat common from a mundane, narrowed perspective, but if you take into account a sizable portion of recent writing on SARS-CoV-2 subject you will instantly realize some of these are not like the others. All these pathogens have a complex interplay with SARS-CoV-2, and some will directly induce a transient state of immune suppression, making you more susceptible to a secondary infection and its dangerous complications.
Neisseria meningitidis cases have been increasing in the last 18 months, even among “healthy” people.
E. Coli (one of the most common pathogens used to produce plasmids and recombinant proteins, a hallmark of synthetic biology and many other uses) has been causing outbreaks for, once again, the most part of the last 2 years.
RSV has been a problem in recent months for the very young and the old.
The 3 Herpes viruses in that list are implicated in a whole host of diseases, a long-term implication that I covered recently, and have a disproportional interplay with SARS-CoV-2.
The US and to a lower level the EU food production have been disrupted at significant levels in the past 30 months by outbreaks of food-born pathogens, a primary example and especially pertinent was and still is baby formula. Always the same pathogen regardless of the location of the outbreak. Another bacteria Pseudomonas, an opportunistic bug that can cause severe disease in deficient immune states was responsible for dozens of cases all connected to an eye drop. I could literally waste your time by citing dozens of similar cases.
I am not proposing that this particular lab is the causative agent of all events, but it is becoming clear at a personal level why no amount of mathematics and predictive analytics (refer to the Nova Swan article above) could explain the number of outbreaks, immunological dysfunction, effects and changes lost in the middle. But this variable could. At a larger level, a state or non-state acord is clearly aware of the larger dynamics SARS-CoV-2 and its variants created, and to a certain level, it is using it as a hybrid warfare tactic.
How many of these clandestine labs are out there ? How many have access to pathogens that can be weaponized ? From my rather unorthodox perspective more pathogens than “experts” assume can be weaponized especially if dispurtion, not mortality is the goal. After all, we live in a highly interconnected, complex system, and each small disruption creates reverberating cascades throughout the whole system.
This gives me leeway to publish the next article. On a tangentially related note, at a certain point while researching what would become the primary pillar of our PAID (Paradoxically Acquired Immune Dysfunction) hypothesis I send a message to a very gifted friend, the one I give credit in a few pieces.
“Sometimes it feels like we are living through an all-out biological war haha. Must be one of my insanities, like the endotoxin”
(the endotoxin-SARS-CoV-2 connection was yet to be proposed and proved over a year and change after the message above)
At that moment, my friend shared with me a few of his own observations, aspects I often don’t pay attention such as names of scientists involved, and where the research comes from. This illegal lab uncovering cemented what was shared at an early point in 2021.
A throwback to one of my favorite fiction works, and a literal inspiration towards my scientific approach, Walter Bishop. The series is worth your time, it is very entertaining and informative, and it is fun to “google” if the science panned out or not. =P
Thank you if you chose to support my work and for reading it too.
Science posts coming in soon. Have a great weekend everybody
