Trump Orders EPA Framework to ‘Release Into the Environment’ Modified, Bacteria-Based Mosquito and Tick Technologies Without Informed Consent

New executive order involves what it calls “genetic modification” and “beneficial bacteria,” without identifying what will actually be released and without informed consent from citizens.

President Donald Trump ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a regulatory framework for the “planned development and release into the environment” of mosquito- and tick-control technologies, according to a September 29 executive order published by the White House.

The executive order says that framework must consider “sterilization techniques, safe genetic modification, and use of safe, beneficial bacteria.”

  • Where is the informed consent?
  • What exactly will be released?
  • What has been modified?
  • Which bacteria will be used?
  • What else will the resulting products contain or carry?
  • How far can they travel?
  • Who monitors unintended exposure?
  • Who is liable if something goes wrong?
  • And how does an American who does not consent keep a released organism off their body and off their property?

The executive order does not say.

I do not consent.

Here we go again.

A lot of our taxes are flying out the door with such projects, including $125 Million to scale automated RNA-LNP factories with one-day lot release despite unknown endotoxin levels. Using tax payer dollars to fund dangerous technologies is not new. PARC, a Silicon Valley R&D lab best known for pioneering Ethernet and laser printing, was funded by the U.S. government to create an automatic biological spray technique. Then, it started the DEFUSE project a year before the COVID ‘pandemic’ that characterized a pandemic response to a future SARS-CoV-2-like outbreak.

In DEFUSE, PARC described its technology as capable of “large area and high throughput aerosol delivery” of fluids including “bioactive formulations,” and identified “large area inoculation of animals/humans with bioengineered formulations” as a potential application. Source

The catch is, we don’t know what was sprayed, where, or who was exposed.

The Smear That Buried BITTEN

The Smear that Buried BITTEN

Reframe the claim. Call it a conspiracy. Never release the files.

Kris Newby

Sept. 29, 2026

I spent five years researching Bitten, my book about the U.S. military’s Cold War bug-borne weapons program and the unresolved questions surrounding the first investigation into Lyme disease.

At the center of the story is Willy Burgdorfer, the NIH scientist celebrated for identifying the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Before the book came out, few people knew that Burgdorfer also spent part of his career working with Fort Detrick’s entomological warfare division. Researchers there studied how fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks could be infected with pathogens and used as weapons.

Late in life, Burgdorfer told me he had found a second unusual microbe during the Lyme investigation—one he believed deserved far more scrutiny. He suggested it may have been connected to earlier weapons research and said he had been ordered to set it aside. Letters and laboratory notes I later found supported that account.

To be clear, Bitten did not prove that Lyme disease was a bioweapon. It asked a narrower and more urgent question: whether another potentially disease-causing microbe found in Lyme-area ticks and humans had been ignored, hidden, or never fully investigated.

That distinction matters. When Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) called for a congressional inquiry in 2019 into whether the military had used ticks in biological-weapons research, the public deserved a careful examination of the records. Instead, the debate was quickly reframed around a claim I never made.

Tick researcher Sam Telford III published a Washington Post op-ed titled, “No, Lyme disease is not an escaped military bioweapon, despite what conspiracy theorists say.” A link in the article pointed readers to a review of my book.

I saw this as a classic disinformation move—reframe the argument to include something false, then attribute it to the reporter and brand the person as a conspiracy theorist. Casual readers never get past the headline and a false narrative is burned into memory.

The stakes are not academic. The release of engineered or unnatural biological agents can have long-term effects on people and the environment. Continued secrecy around the tick-borne weapons program still obstructs a timely response to a growing public-health crisis.

A conversation with the author

I called Telford after reading the piece to discuss statements I considered false or misleading. When I asked whether he had read Bitten, he said, “No. I don’t have time to read books.” I offered to send him a copy. “You can, but I’ll probably shred it,” he replied. That exchange stayed with me: an op-ed designed to dismiss my book was written by someone who told me he had not read it.

Sadly, we go onto learn that publications would not fact-check the errors in Telford’s op-ed.

Newby kept digging and points out that Telford, a tick researcher at Tufts University didn’t disclose that he was the director of Tuft’s New England Regional Biosafety Laboratory, located in a semi-rural New England town about 40 miles west of Boston. This biolevel-3 lab works on biodefense, dangerous pathogens, and high-containment laboratory operations, including anthrax and tick-borne diseases.

COVID exposed a much bigger reason for the lack of disclosure.

The ‘powers that be’ do not want the eye of Mordor swinging onto tick weaponization because it would draw attention to dangerous work at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories, including the importing of foreign pathogens exposed a couple of months ago in the Munster affair, described here and here, not to mention the fact everyone’s dog knows now that COVID was created in a lab and either escaped or was intentionally released.

The questions raised decades ago continue to remain unresolved thanks to Telford and others’ deflection.

Alpha-Gal, The Tick Was Always a Needle

Alpha-Gal, Part II: The Tick Was Always a Needle

The one question I left standing in Part I — if it was the shots, why the tick at all? The scientific literature answers it in one word. Three questions that collapse the tick story from the inside.

Russell Schierling

Jul 10, 2026

For my children and grandchildren…

In Part I, I built a fence. On one side, I put everything solid — Richet’s Nobel Prize, the route problem, the Japanese gelatin admission, the billing codes, and my own Amish patient base, covered in ticks, completely unvaccinated, and, at least as far as I can ascertain, free of alpha-gal — with a single imported exception I’ll come back to shortly. On the other side, I put my suspicions about a declassed clandestine program, telling you where the record stopped, and my hunches began.

Today, there will be no discussion of Fort Detrick, Plum Island, or other biolabs / bioweapon labs. There’s no need for that when answering a question that several readers asked via the comment section. Before I had finished my morning coffee…

If it’s really the shots that cause alpha-gal, then why is the tick needed at all?

I’m going to answer this by asking and answering three very specific questions from the tick research community’s own filing cabinet — CDC-funded papers and the industry-disclosed authors. From the scientists who are certain the Lone Star tick is the primary cause.

I’m going to let people far smarter than me answer these questions using their own studies…

Question One: Why Is a Tick Needed At All?

But the condition has no historical precedent. It appears in the literature at a specific moment in the late 1980s, in multiple countries simultaneously, at a time when gelatin-containing vaccines were being introduced into childhood immunization schedules worldwide. Japanese researchers documented, confirmed through intervention, and published the direct causal relationship between gelatin-containing DTaP vaccines and alpha-gal sensitization in children who had never been exposed to ticks. That evidence is in the peer-reviewed record. It has been there since 1996. -From Dr Travis Johnson’s June 2 piece in Medium (The Allergy That Shouldn’t Exist: Vaccines, Gelatin, and the Strange Origins of Alpha-Gal Syndrome)

To answer question one, it isn’t — at least not as the origin. Vaccines alone can do it — the tick isn’t required for the mechanism. But historically, before the schedule ballooned, cases clustered in tick country. And the scientific literature already told you why.

Go pull the 2021 paper from Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology that tick researchers themselves titled “Tick Saliva and the Alpha-Gal Syndrome: Finding a Needle in a Haystack”. Read that title again. A needle in a haystack. They picked the metaphor, but pointed it at the park instead of at the vial.

Let’s watch what the tick actually does and why the needle in the haystack might be apropos, but maybe not in the way the authors intended…

Another 2021 study, this one on a tick enzyme, describes the alpha-gal sugar as being — their word, not mine — “injected into humans from the lone-star tick bite”. Injected. Not eaten. Not digested. Injected — straight through the skin, past the gut and its digestive processes, and into areas where food is not supposed to be. And as I stated in Part I, this is extremely similar to the phenomenon I have referred to for over two decades as “The Leakies”. Example: (Systemic Leaky Barrier Syndrome (SLBS): A Systems-Level Framework for Chronic Disease).

Earlier studies localized the sugar to the secretory vesicles of the tick’s salivary glands — meaning it’s built to be squirted into a bite. In other words, it’s not wrong to think of ticks as syringes with eight legs — light enough to cross your skin without tripping pressure receptors, and armed with saliva loaded with painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and anticoagulants that let them latch and drink for days without ever setting off the itch that would make you look down and flick them off.

What these devilish little creatures are loading into you is galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose — alpha-gal for short; the “ose” tells you it’s a sugar, like glucose or sucrose — a bit of mammalian sweetness squirted straight under your skin. And here’s the kicker nobody thus far has answered…

When it comes to the animals the tick commonly feeds on — deer, cattle, dogs, rodents, goats, hogs, etc — alpha-gal is “endogenous”. In other words, they build it, they carry it, and their immune systems recognize it as native (“self”) so that it’s not attacked as an invader. So the best answer for why it’s in the saliva at all isn’t that it works some mechanical trick like the anticoagulants and painkillers do — it’s camouflage. Dress your spit in the host’s own sugar, and it reads as ‘self,’ letting the tick guzzle until 100X normal size, all under the immune radar. Which means the sugar is doing exactly its job on a deer.

**Comment**

Probably the most comprehensive article on the subject and is deserving of your time. I also highly recommend Part 1: Alpha-Gal: Why it Might Be the Shots, Not Just the Ticks. The Amish as a community due to defying government dictates, flourished during COVID as well.

The most important take-away is the fact that the Ozarks are full of deer, lone star ticks, and ‘vaccinated’ people, with the exception of the unvaccinated Amish whom are smack dab in the middle of the same area and free of AGS.

“Geography is an alibi the ‘forced vaccination community’ at large is hiding behind because ticks and the heavily vaccinated live side by side in so much of the country.” ~ Dr. Shierling

The good doctor also states he’s only come into ONE Amish person who got AGS, but that she grew up in Minnesota and received some vaccines as an infant…..

Another important take-away is that the younger the child and the larger the ‘vaccine’ dose(s), the more likely they are to develop sensitivity rather than tolerance. The Journal of the American Dental Association now quietly lists topical numbing gels, Gelfoam, prophy paste, catgut, bone graft materials — while noting manufacturers aren’t required to disclose animal-derived ingredients, as containing alpha-gal bearing excipients. This website has also posted the fact that graphene oxide was found in all three dental anesthetics tested.

What We Still Don’t Understand About Tick-Borne Disease: Adam Finnegan

The Sleeper Agent – Adam Finnegan. What We Still Don’t Understand About Tick-Borne Disease

DrSherriTenpenny

Streamed on:Jul 17, 8:00 pm

Most people do not fully understand the devastation that can follow a tick bite. This illness has stolen careers, destroyed families, robbed people of their memories, and left some wondering if they will ever get their lives back. For some, a single bite is followed by years of crushing fatigue, chronic pain, neurological problems, brain fog, and the frightening realization that they are no longer the person they used to be.

Adam Finnegan knows that reality personally. After developing chronic Lyme disease in 2016, he spent seven years trying to answer one question: Why do some people never seem to recover, and why are so many still searching for answers years after the bite itself has been forgotten?

That search became The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare.

In this episode, you’ll learn why Finnegan believes the story of Lyme disease may be much bigger than a tick bite. He explains the science of immune tolerance and why some chronically ill patients may look “normal” on paper while their health continues to deteriorate. He discusses why so many people with persistent symptoms feel abandoned by medicine and why the history of military research into ticks, animal pathogens, and biological warfare led him down a path he never expected to take.

You’ll hear why Erich Traub became one of the central figures in his investigation, why Operation Paperclip matters to this story, and why he believes some of the biggest questions surrounding chronic illness have not been fully answered.

The interview introduces the investigation. The book contains more than 1,000 citations and the deeper historical record.

This episode does not ask you to accept a conclusion. It asks you to look at the evidence, consider the questions, and decide for yourself whether the accepted story explains everything.

Because if one tiny tick can change a life forever, perhaps we still do not understand the full story of what happens next.

The Secret History of Lyme Disease the US Government Doesn’t Want You to Know

The secret history of Lyme disease the US government doesn’t want you to know | Unreported

Jun 17, 2026 Unreported with Meagan Medick

Nearly half a million Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease every year, and ER tick bite visits are hitting the highest levels since 2017. So why does it feel like nobody is sounding the alarm? And why is Congress now ordering a federal watchdog to dig through decades of classified Cold War military records searching for answers?

In this episode of “Unreported,” Meagan Medick sits down with author Kris Newby, who wrote “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons” and is a senior producer on the Oscar semi-finalist documentary “Under Our Skin.” Together, they examine documented evidence that the U.S. government experimented on ticks as potential Cold War bioweapons, the whistleblower testimony of the scientist who discovered Lyme disease and why a mystery organism he identified in the original ticks was quietly removed from his discovery paper.

They also dig into the Lone Star tick experiments that may have seeded the Northeast with nonnative species, the rise of meat allergies and why a new Lyme vaccine is already raising red flags. Plus: what the Cold War records investigation in Congress could uncover and who controls what gets released.
