GENETIC ENGINEERING

DARPA, Insects, Mad Science and Us

Tessa Lena writes in Mercola.com:

“Irresponsible use of new and very advanced technologies by the military is life-threatening.

Engineered viruses can be used to edit genes in a target species, including in a heritable manner.

‘Insect Allies’ is a DARPA (U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects) program designed to genetically modify mature plants in a live environment by releasing insects infected with genetically modified viruses.

Some scientists, although on board with genetic modification in principle, are questioning DARPA’s motives and raising concerns.

Researchers in Singapore, as well as DARPA in the U.S. have developed ‘remote-controlled insects.’

The craziest crazies have somehow escaped the asylum and installed themselves in high positions of power. Insane, they are coming up with one bad idea after another and barking orders at us, mad shine in their eyes and saliva coming out of their mouths. They are crazy — and in charge of institutions, schools, newspapers and armies.

They are running around with their high-tech pistols filled with high-tech poisons and their little sadistic CRISPR scissors. They are crazy — yes, they are crazy — and they are killing us slowly, and sometimes not so slowly. Welcome to the future where toxicity is health and the old crazy is the new normal. We are not crazy — they are crazy — and they have been from the beginning. And in 2020, they stopped pretending. What now?

You may think that you have seen it all but here is a great idea. Take some insects, infect them with a genetically modified virus designed to genetically edit mature plants in real time, and release them. Release them into wild and repeat, ‘it’s safe and effective.’

Sweet idea, right? Well, DARPA thought so, and so in 2016, they started a project called “Insect Allies” that is designed to do that. (This is a different project from Oxitec’s controversial release of GM mosquitos.)

DARPA’s official story is that in the name of national security, a good way to protect the American crops from potential threats is to genetically modify them using GM viruses as genetic modifiers and insects as flying syringes. And that they just need to test it!… Some suspicious peasants may foolishly wonder: What will happen in the short term and in the long term to the people who eat those plants, to the people and animals possibly bitten by those insects, to the wild insects who mate with the infected insects, and to all other life in the area and beyond that may get impacted? What ridiculous nonsense. Here is the answer, peasant: No one knows — and importantly, no one cares. Any more questions?”

Child With Lyme Diagnosed With Radiculopathy

Child with Lyme disease diagnosed with radiculopathy

lyme-disease-radiculopathy

“Among the signs and the symptoms connected to the presence of neuropathic pain are allodynia (pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain), hyperalgesia (an increase in the perception of pain generated by a stimulus that causes pain), and paresthesia (a condition that determines the perception of anomalous sensations comparable to needle bites, tingling, itching, reduced, or even loss of sensitivity),” wrote Cavalli and colleagues in the International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology. [1]

A 10-year-old boy presented with fatigue, posterior lower neck pain, and a low-grade fever of 100.8. “The soft tissues of the posterior neck and upper back were tender with allodynia,” wrote Baker and colleagues in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.²

They added, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine showed “questionable” nerve root enhancement at levels C5-C6 and C6-C7 consistent with radiculitis. The child was discharged from the emergency room with a diagnosis of cervical radiculitis due to viral infection.

Two days later, the child was diagnosed with Lyme disease with a positive IgM and IgG western blot test. The patient’s symptoms resolved following treatment with oral doxycycline.

The authors pointed out that radiculoneuritis due to Lyme disease is not new. “In US children, meningitis and cranial nerve palsy are relatively common in neuroborreliosis, while radiculoneuritis is rare,” wrote the authors.²

They added, “Neuroborreliosis is easier to recognize when facial nerve palsy or meningitis are present with radiculitis since these are classically associated with Lyme.”

“Any patient with painful radiculitis and plausible exposure to potentially infected ticks should have Lyme testing,” the authors concluded.

Bacterial & Fungal Isolation From Face Masks Under the COVID Pandemic

**UPDATE Feb. 2024**

Eleven month old DIED from mask asphyxiation in Taiwan.  

Besides the harmful bacteria on masks which the wearer continually rebreathes – as well as the lack of oxygen, research now states probable aerosol transmission of the virus through floors and walls proving the futility of porous masks. 

A study looked at mandatory masking on the case fatality rate in Kansas and found that counties with mask mandates had significantly higher case fatality rates than countries without mandates.  The authors state the findings suggest mask usage might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them.  They call this the “Foegen effect”, which has been proven in vivo in an animal model and consists of a deep re-inhalation of hypercondensed droplets or pure virions caught in the facemasks as droplets can worsen prognosis and might be linked to long-term effects of COVID infection.

The warnings for masks have been given from the beginning but were completely ignored:

Bacterial and fungal isolation from face masks under the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led people to wear face masks daily in public. Although the effectiveness of face masks against viral transmission has been extensively studied, there have been few reports on potential hygiene issues due to bacteria and fungi attached to the face masks. We aimed to (1) quantify and identify the bacteria and fungi attaching to the masks, and (2) investigate whether the mask-attached microbes could be associated with the types and usage of the masks and individual lifestyles. We surveyed 109 volunteers on their mask usage and lifestyles, and cultured bacteria and fungi from either the face-side or outer-side of their masks. The bacterial colony numbers were greater on the face-side than the outer-side; the fungal colony numbers were fewer on the face-side than the outer-side. A longer mask usage significantly increased the fungal colony numbers but not the bacterial colony numbers. Although most identified microbes were non-pathogenic in humans; Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Cladosporium, we found several pathogenic microbes; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Aspergillus, and Microsporum. We also found no associations of mask-attached microbes with the transportation methods or gargling. We propose that immunocompromised people should avoid repeated use of masks to prevent microbial infection.

**Comment**

If you are a Lyme/MSIDS patient, you are immunocompromised.

This is not the first time pathogens have been found on masks.  Concerned parents put clean or new masks on their kids in the morning, sent them to school for nearly 5-8 hours, and then had them tested in a lab.  Here’s what was found:

  • 83% of masks were contaminated
  • 96 unique strains
  • 21 pathogenic strains
  • 33% antibiotic resistant strains
11 dangerous pathogens were found:
  • treptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
  • Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
  • Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
  • Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs—resistant to antibiotics)
  • Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
  • Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
  • Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires’ disease)
  • Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

Mask believers don’t seem to care that data shows mask usage has virtually no impact on COVID cases. Similarly to the useless (negative efficacy even) and dangerous COVID gene therapy injections, which don’t stop transmission, infection, severe illness, or even death, zealots don’t care.

The CDC refuses to fix it’s horribly flawed mask study which is being still being used to set public health policy, and the CDC and the FDA are completely guilty of mis or disinformation, yet are still coming after others who disagree with their narrative.  The current administration has been found guilty of colluding with social media companies to suppress freedom of speech under the guise of ‘misinformation,’ and nearly got away with a DHS ‘ministry of truth’ type disinformation board run by ‘Scary Poppins’ until the public gave fierce backlash.  And now the UN is declaring war on “conspiracy theories” and launches a #thinkbeforesharing campaign.  UNESCO has teamed up with Twitter, the European Commission and the World Jewish Congress to launch the campaign.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. – George Orwell 1984

Until the public also gives fierce backlash against worthless, oxygen depriving, bacteria infested, carcinogenic, toxic masks, they will continue to be held hostage by tyrants. 

FYI: the EPA has just launched community engagement efforts on warning of new ethylene oxide risk information.

Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.

Doctored Images, Fake Data, & Plagiarism: Scandals Rock Alzheimer’s & Cancer Research. Research Director Falsifying Vaccine Data Retains Post

In another update, Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) is allowing one if its directors who published fraudulent research on tuberculosis vaccines to retain his post, according to Science.org

“[Deepak Kaushal] engaged in research misconduct by intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly falsifying and fabricating the experimental methodology to demonstrate results obtained under different experimental conditions,” according to ORI findings published in the Federal Register on Monday.

The ORI’s investigation found that Kaushal “engaged in research misconduct” involving one published study and two grant applications under at least eight U.S. government grants from the Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Doctored Images in Alzheimer’s Research?

By Sophie Putka

July 27, 2022

Excerpts:

An investigation by Science Magazine tells how Matthew Schrag, MD, PhD, neuroscientist and physician at Vanderbilt, unearthed serious problems with research on a protein subtype of amyloid beta that has been a cornerstone of research and spending on Alzheimer’s for over a decade.

Schrag found that images accompanying highly cited Alzheimer’s studies touting major breakthroughs for the field were very plausibly altered. Using the online platform PubPeer, where scientists flag mistakes in research, Schrag stumbled upon comments on articles led by Sylvain Lesné, PhD, of the University of Minnesota.

One of the papers, published in Nature, has been cited 2,300 times, and related NIH funding for related oligomer and Alzheimer’s research grew to $287 million. Lesné and the lab where he worked won accolades: awards, grants, and prominence. “You can cheat to get a paper. You can cheat to get a degree. You can cheat to get a grant. You can’t cheat to cure a disease,” Schrag told Science Magazine. “Biology doesn’t care.”

SUMMARY:

  • Nature has learned that formal investigations finding multiple instances of research misconduct including data falsification and plagiarism have been made against superstar cancer researcher Carlo Croce, MD and scientists under him.
  • So far nobody is admitting fault, and in fact Croce is suing the university despite the committee saying he was a poor mentor and the lab lacked oversight.  Further, the university instructed Croce and his team to retract or correct more than a dozen papers but only one has been retracted and two corrected.
  • Biotronick, a medical device manufacturer, paid and rewarded docs to use their implantable heart devices and violated the False Claims Act when they submitted reimbursement claims for the related procedures from Medicare and Medicaid, according to the DOJ.  The company paid for training that never occurred, as well as holiday parties, winery tours, lavish meals, international business class airfare and honoraria with no legitimate business purpose.

Hopefully, it is becoming clearer by the day that science has been completely hijacked.  It was recently discovered that $350 Million in secret payments have been given to Fauci, Collins, and other NIH scientists.  Corruption in public health has been exposed beautifully thanks to COVID, but is certainly not new.  Lymeland has been riddled with corruption for over 40 years. There is an urgent need to break the public health monopoly which is literally getting away with murder.

The CARES Act, provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are the reasons patients are virtual prisoners in the hospital.  They have no choice, no say, and are barbarically isolated from family members. They are only allowed “FDA approved” COVID treatments which are dangerous, ineffective, and expensive.

Time for a CDC/NIAID FDA/ walkaway movement.

Could There Be Subclinical Cardiac Involvement in Early Lyme Disease in Children?

https://danielcameronmd.com/could-there-be-subclinical-cardiac-involvement-in-early-lyme-disease-in-children/

Could there be subclinical cardiac involvement in early Lyme disease in children?

cardiac-lyme-disease-children
Cardiac involvement has been observed during the early disseminated stage Lyme disease. Could there be subclinical cardiac involvement in early Lyme disease in children?
By

In an earlier study by Woolf and colleagues, nearly 1 in 5 children (19.6%) children with an erythema migrans (EM) rash or a positive two-tier Lyme serology had EKG evidence of carditis. Twenty-four of the children had atrioventricular (11.2%). Their study did not report troponin levels.¹

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays have been used to identify patients at high risk of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events.² The authors identified pneumonia, an infective exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and sepsis as causes of noncardiovascular events.

Lewandrowski and colleagues looked at high-sensitivity troponin T in 41 individuals with early Lyme disease.³ All individuals presenting in the summer of 2015 met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance case definition of EM.

“One patient had a value greater than the cutoff used for acute myocardial infarction,” wrote the authors.³ Another five patients had high-sensitivity troponin T values significantly above the expected values for their sex (p<0.0001).

There are many possible explanations for increased high-sensitivity troponin T values in different patients in the absence of acute cardiac damage. “cTn (cardiac troponin assay) is commonly elevated in acute non-ACS conditions, as well as in chronic diseases,” wrote Park and colleagues. They added, “It is unclear why these elevations occur; yet they cannot be ignored as cTn levels in chronically unwell patients are directly correlated to prognosis.”4

“Our results raise the possibility that subclinical cardiac involvement may be more common in ELD than previously recognized,” wrote the authors. They added, further studies will be necessary to elucidate the significance of this finding.”

Lyme carditis

Lyme carditis is uncommon. Nevertheless, Kannangara and colleagues summarized the growing list of cardiac problems in Lyme disease, as described in the medical literature:

  • First-degree heart block
  • Wenckebach phenomenon (Mobitz type I)
  • Mobitz type II
  • Complete Heart block / High degree AV block
  • Bundle branch block
  • Sinus arrest / Sinus pauses
  • Supraventricular tachycardia
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Junctional tachycardia
  • Fascicular tachycardia
  • Ventricular tachycardia
  • Ventricular flutter
  • Bradycardia
  • Narrow QRS escape rhythm
  • Prolonged QT
  • ST depression / T inversion
  • ST elevation
  • Asystole
  • History of Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome. In a case of sudden death due to LC (Lyme Carditis).

**Comment**

Again, something can not be labeled as “rare” if nobody’s looking for it.  And this article just presented the fact that many are walking around with sub-clinical cases.  I believe this is far more common than many believe.  Patients will get tests but they all return “normal” yet they have flagrant symptoms.

The other fly in the ointment are the COVID shots, now fraudulently authorized for children who don’t need them.  Many are having heart issues with high troponin levels.  Also, the CDC only reports on two types: pericarditis and myocarditis.  There are many other types of heart issues. Now, it will be even harder to diagnose these kids.
