Weaponized ticks? House passes Smith amendment seeking answers
Sept. 24, 2021
The House of Representatives this week passed an amendment offered by New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith, directing the federal government’s “watchdog” agency to investigate the Department of Defense’s (DOD) possible weaponization of ticks and other insects with Lyme disease during its consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H.R. 4350).
“In the spirit of transparency and accountability, my amendment directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to probe whether the Department of Defense ever weaponized ticks with Lyme disease or any other dangerous pathogen,” said Rep. Smith, the founding co-chair of the House Lyme Disease Caucus.
“Americans deserve the truth,” Smith said.
Millions with Lyme have a right to know
“The millions of Americans suffering from Lyme disease have a right to know whether any of this is true, and if any old research documents could be applied by current-day scientists to finding a better diagnostic or treatment—something that’s desperately needed,” said Smith, who has been advocating for Lyme patients and a more robust government response to the devastating disease since 1992.
Smith’s amendment requires the GAO to report findings to Congress of any DOD experiments on ticks or other insects for use as biological weapons from 1950 to 1977, including the experiment’s scope and whether any insects may have been “released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design.”
Similar amendments authored by Smith passed the House in 2019 and 2020, but did not make it through the Senate.
Questions raised by the book “Bitten”
The legislation comes in the wake of credible assertions made in numerous books and articles that significant research was conducted at Fort Detrick, Plum Island and elsewhere by the DOD to turn ticks into bioweapons causing severe disability, disease and even death to potential enemies.
One book—Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons by Kris Newby—includes interviews with Dr. Willy Burgdorfer, the researcher credited with discovering Lyme disease who also worked as a bioweapons specialist.
Combined with access to Burgdorfer’s lab files, the interviews suggest that he andother bioweapons specialists stuffed ticks with dangerous pathogens.
“To stop the spread of these horrific tick-borne diseases, we must first understand their origins and how they came to be so pervasive,” Smith said.
“If the investigation concludes our government’s bioweapons program did not contribute to the proliferation of Lyme, we turn the page. And if it did, hopefully this investigation and research will contribute to a cure,” he said.
Smith’s amendment now moves to the Senate for consideration as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
Some things author Newby revealed for the first time in the book were: that ticks were developed and deployed as stealth biological weapons during the Cold War, and that Willy Burgdorfer, the scientist the Lyme bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, was named after, was at the center of this program. According to Newby, specific revelations she makes in book include:
A 1962 pilot study where infected ticks were dropped on Cuba sugar workers.
Releases of hundreds of thousands of radioactive, aggressive Lone Star ticks on the Atlantic coastal bird flyway.
Omissions of other microbes transmitted with Lyme-carrying ticks during the original outbreak (“Swiss Agent”).
Documentation of military studies where live disease-causing bacteria, some which can be spread by ticks, were sprayed from planes, boats and vehicles on the unsuspecting American public.
The Lyme Disease Association (LDA) encourages Lyme advocates, patients, and the public across the country to contact both of their US Senators to champion and support this amendment. After 45 years of Lyme disease, the truth must be uncovered.
Out of the 860 amendments offered for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), only 476 were made in order, and this one was included in the even smaller number actually passed. This shows a huge interest by government to explore this issue of Lyme and tick-borne diseases. Also, an amendment for a government investigation passed twice before in the House in 2019 and 2020. This time we all need to help persuade the Senate to keep this amendment when both Houses go to the conference committee to iron out Senate and House bill differences.

While it’s important to get answers, I won’t be holding my breath on this one. This is like asking the pot to call the kettle black. All we have to do is look at the COVIDdebacle to determine that even with all the evidence in hand, the very people/organizations who created this ‘plandemic’ still have jobs, and are still “rock stars” to the general public. Nothing to see here! Lyme/MSIDS has an even longerhistory of corruption.
No, I don’t believe anything will come out of this investigation at all. I pray I’m wrong.
Further, we need to stop raising money for The Cabal who has done absolutely nothing for the plight of Lyme/MSIDS patients except cause more suffering. We need to stop raising money for and working with abusers.
The Conspiracy Theorists Were Right; It IS a “Poison-Death Shot”
Mike Whitney • September 16, 2021
“I’ll do one more mind experiment with you: If everyone on the planet were to get Covid and not get treated, the death-rate globally would be less than half a percent. I’m not advocating for that, because 35 million people would die. However, if we follow the advice of some of the global leaders– like Bill Gates who said last year said “7 billion people need to be vaccinated”– then the death-rate will be over 2 billion people! SO, WAKE UP! THIS IS WORLD WAR 3! We are seeing a level of malevolence that we haven’t seen in the history of humanity!” ~ Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Author of The Zelenko “Early Treatment” Protocol that saved thousands of Covid-19 patients. (“Zelenko schools the Rabbinic Court”, Rumble; start at 11:45 minutes)
Did the regulators at the FDA know that all previous coronavirus vaccines had failed in animal trials and that the vaccinated animals became either severely ill or died?
Yes, they did.
Did they know that previous coronavirus vaccines had a tendency to “enhance the infection” and “make the disease worse”?
Yes

In simple format, the article asks simple questions and gives simple answers showing that the ‘powers that be’ know exactly what they are doing and exactly what the shots are – dangerous injections that don’t stop infection, illness, or death, but are causing a multitude of adverse reactions and death.
These jabs have not even been tested on animals before being rolled out.
Also, important to know regarding boosters is that Pfizer hasn’t tested the people actually at risk. They also have not been modified or improved to meet changes in the Delta variant or any other variants.
According to Doctors for COVID Ethics boosters are particularly problematic as they repeatedly boost the immune response to the spike protein. This means they will progressively boost self-to-self immune attack, and the greater the vessel leakage and clotting that occurs, the more likely organs supplied by the affected blood flow will sustain damage.
Excellent article. Please read it in its entirety.
CDC Changes Vaccine Definition & Calls it ‘Normal’
Kim Iversen discusses what is outlined in the following article: The CDC changed the definition of a “vaccine” to validate the COVID mRNA gene therapies.
Prior to August 26, 2021, they defined a “vaccine” as a “product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”
Then they changed this to a “preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” The difference is subtle but distinct:
The first one defined a vaccine as something that will “produce immunity.” The second one covers the mRNA jabs since they don’t “produce immunity,” but supposedly lessen the degree of infection – but many claim they don’t even do that.
But interestingly, Iversen must admit the truth: NO VACCINE is 100% perfect and breakthrough infections happen with ANY VACCINE. She stumbles about, but it’s right there in purple crayon and important to remember. The next discussion of course, is that no vaccine is completely ‘safe and effective.’
Herland Report: CDC Now Lists Vaccinated Deaths as Unvaccinated: While public health officials and mainstream media claim the COVID-19 pandemic is now “a pandemic of the unvaccinated,”1 we now know this claim is based on highly misleading statistics.
In a July 16, 2021, White House press briefing,2 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed that “over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”
A few weeks later, in an August 5, 2021, statement, she inadvertently revealed how that statistic actually came about. (See link for article)

I posted about this statistical ‘slight of hand’ before. Essentially, to come up with the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative, the CDC only used data when the vast majority of the public was still unvaccinated.
The CDC is further playing games to create the impression that unvaccinated people make up the bulk of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths. They are doing this by:
counting anyone dying 14 days after getting the jab as unvaccinated.
only considering a person fully “vaccinated” a full 14 days after the second Pfizer or Moderna injection, and 14 days after the first Janssen shot. This simply means that if a person becomes ill or dies after only 1 shot of Pfizer or Moderna, they are considered unvaccinated, and even if they get two doses and become ill or die within 14 days they are still counted as an unvaccinated case.
changing definitions and goalposts: CDC changed the definition of a “vaccine” to validate the COVID mRNA gene therapies. Prior to August 26, 2021, they defined a “vaccine” as a “product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.” Then they changed this to a “preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” The difference is subtle but distinct: The first one defined a vaccine as something that will “produce immunity.” The second one covers the mRNA jabs since they don’t “produce immunity,” but supposedly lessen the degree of infection – but many claim they don’t even do that.
hiding the fact 80% of hospitalizations and deaths occur in those getting the jabs
using two different sets of testing guidelines: one for vaccinated patients, and one for the unvaccinated. Since the beginning, CDC has recommended a PCR cycle of 40, which flies in the face of science which has long ago established that anything over 35 will produce 97% false positives – rendering the test useless. In mid May, CDC finally lowered the cycle to 28, but only for the vaccinated. The unvaccinated are still tested using a cycle of 40 which grossly overestimates the infection rate.
counting only ‘break-through’ infections that result in hospitalization or death. This tactic substantially lowers the appearance of ‘break-through’ infections in those getting the jab. If this tactic was not employed we would most probably discover that the vaccinated make up the bulk of hospitalizations, making the COVID pandemic one of the vaccinated. All we have to do is look at data from Israel to see this play out in real time.
counting non-COVID related illnesses as COVID. People have died in motorcycle crashes, fallen off ladders, among many other things – yet were listed as COVID deaths. There’s also numerous examples of over-reporting deaths, sometimes to the tune of 3,700% greater than what actually occurred.
ignoring the fact the Delta variant has 3 different mutations all in the spike protein which evades the immune response in those who got the jab – but not in those who have natural immunity. Data from the UK clearly show the jabs offer no protection from the Delta variant.
fear-mongering that the Delta variant is highly contagious but downplaying the fact is is far less deadly and easier to treat. In a CNN town hall meeting in Ohio President Biden emphatically but falsely stated that if you are vaccinated you are NOT going to be hospitalized, not going to the ICU, and not going to die.
ignoring the fact that vaccinated people needing hospitalization for the milder variant of Delta could be a blatant sign of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) or the fact “vaccine” injuries are being misreported as ‘break-through’ cases.
ignoring Israeli data showing 95% of severely ill patients are fully “vaccinated”, and make up 85-90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.
ignoring data from Scotland showing 87% of deaths from COVID in the 3rd wave were “vaccinated”.
ignoring data from Gibraltar which has a 99% compliance jab rate, showing COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June.
ignoring data from Iceland which has a 82% jab compliance rate, where 77% of new cases are among the fully “vaccinated.”
ignoring UK data which shows in those over age 50, partially and fully “vaccinated” people account for 68% of hospitalizations & 70% of COVID deaths.
ignoring the fact in an outbreak in Massachusetts, 74% of COVID diagnoses and 80% of hospitalizations were among the fully “vaccinated.”
ignoring that the fully “vaccinated” have just as high of a viral load in their nasal passages as the vaccinated who get infected, which means the “vaccinated” are just as infectious as the vaccinated.
ignoring data from “vaccinated” health care workers in Vietnam infected with the Delta variant had viral loads 251 times higher than cases infected with old strains.
only confirming and counting people as “vaccinated” if it is added to their medical record, which often doesn’t happen in temporary vaccination clinics, or drive-through pharmacies. Primary care offices are responsible for electronically sharing immunization data with the state’s immunization information system. Patient-recorded proof of vaccination is only accepted for the flu and pneumococcal vaccines, not the COVID shots, which means if your shot status has not be added to the electronic medical system, you are not counting as “vaccinated.” This further skews numbers because if you are in this situation but then are admitted to the hospital with COVID symptoms, they will not count you as a “vaccinated” patient even if you got the jabs (if it isn’t in the electronic records).
ignoring the fact the COVID shot campaign is an ongoing clinical trial. Pundits promoting these shots as “safe and effective” are lying through their teeth because data is only being collected.
ignoring the fact that COVID-19 vaccines mass use and COVID-19 measures are an infringe[ment] of the Articles 2, 3, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, 25, 27, 28 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Wuhan Scientists Planned To Release ‘Chimeric Covid Spike Proteins’ Into Bat Populations Using ‘Skin-Penetrating Nanoparticles’
18 months before the pandemic, scientists in Wuhan, China submitted a proposal to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into the wild in an effort to inoculate them against diseases that could have otherwise jumped to humans, according to The Telegraph, citing leaked grant proposals from 2018.
New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.
The bid was submitted by zoologist Peter Daszak of US-based EcoHealth Alliance, who was hoping to use genetic engineering to cobble “human-specific cleavage sites” onto bat Covid ‘which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells’ – a method which would coincidentally answer a longstanding question among the scientific community as to howSARS-CoV-2 evolved to become so infectious to humans.
Daszak’s proposal also included plans to commingle high-risk natural coronaviruses strains with more infectious, yet less deadly versions. His ‘bat team’ of researchers included Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center.

Important quote:
“This is clearly a gain of function, engineering the cleavage site and polishing the new viruses to enhance human cell infectibility in more than one cell line,” Angus Dalgleish, professor of Oncology at St. Georges, University of London – Telegraph
An anonymous scientist at WHO states that Daszak’s grant proposal proposed plans to enhance the more deadly MERS virus which has a fatality rate over 30% – and is more deadly than COVID.
“If one of their receptor replacements made Mers spread similarly, while maintaining its lethality, this pandemic would be nearly apocalyptic.” Anonymous WHO scientist
For those just tuning in, Danszak conspired with other scientists and authored a paper in the Lancet to shut down any scientific debate into the origins of COVID. Daszak thanked Fauci in private emails for downplaying the lab leak theory in front of the world stage. Fauci lied to U.S. Congress denying his role in approving and funding coronavirus gain-of-function research projects that exploit human immune systems.
In this video, Dr. Martin addresses the history of the development of the SARS bioweapon, which was originally funded for AIDS/HIV research in 1999, and he dropped this bombshell on the audience:
Anthony Fauci has spent, listen to this number, 191 BILLION dollars, not 3.7 million, not 30 million, 191 BILLION dollars of audited funds for the bioweaponization of viruses against humanity.
And it is YOUR money that has been spent.
Dr. Martin also explains how the COVID-19 “vaccine” does not meet the legal definition of a “vaccine,” but it meets the legal definition of a “bioweapon.”Source
Why are Fauci and Danszak not behind bars already?
SARS-CoV-2 appears to be a benign bat coronavirus modified to integrate spike proteins that allows the virus to enter human cells by attaching to ACE-2 receptors
The virus also appears to have been modified to integrate an envelope protein from HIV called GP141, which tends to impair the immune system. A third modification appears to involve nanotechnology, which allows the virus to remain airborne longer
The FLCCC’s Guide to Overcoming the Pharmacy Barrier
Based on many reports from patients, there appears to be a growing number of pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions for ivermectin—one of the safest drugs on the market today. To combat this violation of both the law and the oath taken by medical professionals, the FLCCC has created a guide for consumers to use in countering pharmacists and their refusal to allow patients access to an effective treatment for COVID-19.
Posted on the FLCCC homepage, flccc.net, the guide provides:
Information on the rights of the patient to have access to the medication prescribed by their doctor without interference from a pharmacist.
A walk through of the misinformation that a pharmacist might use to not fill the prescription.
Actions the patient can take to counter the misinformation and alert the corporate leadership of the pharmacy if necessary.
“The relationship we have with our patients is sacred and should not be compromised by pharmacists acting on their own. We are encouraged to see some of the large pharmacy chains taking action and ensuring our patients have their prescriptions filled.” said Pierre Kory, M.P.A., MD, president and chief medical officer of the FLCCC. “We want to make sure that the public knows their rights and has access to this important treatment.”

I have heard that a Wisconsin doctor is now under scrutiny for prescribing Ivermectin for COVID. Evidently Walgreens turned this doctor in. And in France, Dr. Jean-Paul Theron was just arrested and drug out into the street like a criminal.
Dr. Jean-Paul Theron arrested for prescribing ivermectin for COVID
In case you missed it, the AMA, AphA, and ASHP as well as the ABEM and FSMB are threatening doctors who prescribe ivermectin for COVID and for spreading “misinformation.” Sadly, a hit-piece in my local paper is following the accepted narrative. The title was, “Experts: Don’t Use Drug For Animals – Ivermectin Ineffective, Potentially Dangerous.”
It’s one of the worst pieces of journalism I’ve seen in a long time. First, stating Ivermectin is an “animal” medicine is like saying penicillin is an “animal” medicine since it too is used in animals as well as humans. Ivermectin is on the WHO list of essential medicines and has been used safely for decades for river blindness, scabies, and other human illnesses (as well as for animals). Shame on our corrupt public health ‘authorities’ and a complicit media for spreading these lies. And they are LIES of the biggest sort costing 500,000 lives according to one doctor. To learn why they are censoring this important, effective treatment watch the video in the first link below.
Go here for a Sept. 13 interview with Steve Bannon, host of War Room: Pandemic, for an interview with Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Heather Gessling, and Dr. Cole. Many are trapped in hospitals, left to die, with no one to advocate for them. And now pharmacies are blocking essential prescriptions such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin.
“We are in a situation where the government has seized control of the medical profession and this is causing death,” Malone said.
Now, a group of scientists that includes Jacques van Helden of Aix-Marseille University in France, Richard Ebright of Rutgers University, and 14 others have published a new article in The Lancetcalling out Fauci and his apologists’ unscientific Fake News “which claimed overwhelming support for the hypothesis that the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic originated in wildlife.”
“The authors associated any alternative view with conspiracy theories by stating: ‘We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.’” these scientists wrote. “The statement has imparted a silencing effect on the wider scientific debate, including among science journalists.”
Head vaccine pusher Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper on Sunday and did something shocking, he actually admitted people who get infected with COVID and recover have a “considerable degree of immunity.”
In a rare moment of journalism for Tapper, he asked Fauci why Biden’s vaxx mandate, “has to apply to people that have had COVID? Given that they have some protection already?” (See link for article)

True to form, Fauci then casts doubt on natural immunity by implying it may not be durable, and that’s why everyone, regardless of health status or previous infection needs a jab in the arm with a product he has a vested interest in.
Fauci lies further by stating that those who have recovered from COVID increase their protection by getting the jab. In fact, reality paints a far starker picture.
The article points out that a recent study out of Israel showed:
recovered patients are 13 times less likely to be infected than those who have Pfizer jabs
those who were double jabbed were 5.96 times more likely to be infected and 7.13 times more likely to experience symptoms than those with natural immunity after recovery
