**UPDATE**

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) states in its September 9, 2026, shutdown contingency plan that its pandemic preparedness agency will suspend Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) execution and congressionally mandated preparedness evaluations while continuing to negotiate, award, and manage biodefense contracts.

They Built a Machine to Treat You as a Terrorist Threat. The Justice Department Just Published the Blueprints.

Five years ago I warned that the government was preparing to treat people who questioned COVID policy as a domestic-terror problem. The receipts are in.

Five years ago I warned that the government was preparing to treat people who questioned COVID policy as a domestic-terror problem. A 273-page DOJ report, released October 5, 2026, now shows exactly how it was done, who was targeted, and why it should matter to every reader of this newsletter.

On August 13, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a terrorism bulletin that listed “grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions” among the drivers of domestic terrorism, and promised to “identify and evaluate” online activity “associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives.”

The next day I published a piece on GreenMedInfo saying plainly what the bulletin implied: that people who questioned, resisted, or disobeyed COVID restrictions, or who questioned the vaccines, were being moved into the category of potential domestic terrorists. I wrote that the people being described this way were mostly mothers and fathers, many with vaccine-injured children, who were questioning the medical system for the first time in their lives.

I was told that was paranoid. And that I was a “super-spreader” of dangerous misinformation.

On October 5, 2026, the Department of Justice released a report by its Weaponization Working Group, with 250 pages of internal emails attached, showing what happened in the ten weeks after that bulletin. I have reviewed all 273 pages. This is what they say, in plain language, and what it means for you.

The machine is not partisan and it is not gone. Tip portals, threat tags, private “NGO reporting” contracts, and counter-misinformation offices are infrastructure. They outlive the administration that built them. The only reason we can read these emails is that one administration chose to release documents about the previous one. The next one can choose otherwise. (See link for chronology as well as steps that need to be taken)

Ji says the following steps are crucial so history doesn’t repeat itself:

  • Extend the file review and apology process to ANYONE whose name is on the ‘naughty’ list.
  • Release the communications.
  • Make it illegal to rebuild. The Senate Commerce Committee has already advanced S. 4749, the JAWBONE Act, which would bar federal officials from coercing platforms to suppress lawful speech. Call your senators and ask them to pass it. Then ask your representative for a House companion. Restore the First, has scripts and a lookup tool.
  • Join Stand For Health freedom and take action with their advocacy tools. And share the platform widely with those you know who are.
  • Pre-order Ji’s upcoming investigative book, Shadow Empire: The Epstein Files, to educate yourself on how the systems of power that operate with impunity expose themselves in the 3.5 million document release from Jan. of this year. Ji recently reported on Epstein’s plan to create a “Mother’s Army” to target their children for vaccination directly. The truth must get out.

Russia Plague Mystery: Separating Fact From Social Media Hype

IMA’s Dr. Ryan Cole says Russia’s suspected plague death is unconfirmed and not an outbreak. After COVID, Americans should demand evidence before fear.

Independent Medical Alliance

October 8, 2026

IMA Head of Medical and Scientific Affairs Dr. Ryan Cole joined The National News Desk to separate fact from fiction in reports of a suspected plague death in Russia. A young woman who worked at a plague research laboratory in Siberia died after developing severe pneumonia, but testing has not confirmed plague. Dr. Cole explains that the story first spread through a Telegram channel, and that 90% of the roughly 200 people placed under observation have already been released. One death, he notes, does not make an outbreak.

Dr. Cole also takes on social media posts linking the case to an experimental mRNA plague vaccine, which he points out has only been studied in animal models. He explains that pneumonic plague rarely spreads from person to person, is treatable with antibiotics when caught early, and circulates on every continent except Australia among rodents and fleas most people rarely encounter. Looking back at COVID, when conclusions were drawn before the evidence was in, he urges Americans to demand evidence before believing a viral headline.

USDA Ordered 6 Million Doses of ‘Experimental’ Plague Vaccine the Same Month DEFUSE Proposed Spraying Its Carrier on Bats

The order was six times existing demand and equal to nearly 28 years of later annual bait sales, while DEFUSE-linked spray technology identified applications for “animals/humans.”

Oct. 8, 2026

USDA-APHIS procurement memorandum dated March 6, 2018, specifying 6 million doses of experimental recombinant raccoonpox vaccine (RCN-F1-V307), valued at $1.3 million, for manufacture into plague-vaccine bait for prairie dogs at the USDA Pocatello Supply Depot in Idaho. The document predates the April contract award and was prepared the same month Project DEFUSE was submitted to DARPA.

According to a March 2018 U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) contract award to Colorado Serum Company, the federal government contracted for an estimated 6 million doses of recombinant raccoonpox plague vaccine, using the same vaccine-carrier platform Project DEFUSE proposed that month for spraying vaccine material onto bats.

The plague-vaccine order was six times the doses USDA said it needed for existing customers and equivalent to nearly 28 years of the depot’s subsequently reported annual vaccine-bait sales.

Meanwhile, DEFUSE’s proposed delivery partner, PARC, described aerosol technology for biological applications involving “animals/humans.”

DEFUSE is the project submitted the year before the COVID-19 pandemic to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that characterized a pandemic response to a future SARS-CoV-2-like outbreak.

  • Why was the government contracting for millions of doses of a plague-vaccine platform while developing automated biological spraying?
  • What would be sprayed, and what informed consent protections would exist for potentially exposed people?

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

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.

Splitting Up the Combination Vaccines

by Marco Cáceres

Published September 28, 2026

Opinion

Splitting Up the Combination Vaccines

President Trump announced on Sept. 18, 2026 that his administration plans to recommend that certain childhood vaccines be split up into separate shots. The policy proposal is apparently a follow-up to an Executive Order the President signed on Aug. 10 that calls for recommending the number of diseases for which children should be vaccinated be reduced from 17 to 11, including measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus, and varicella.1 2 3 Trump said:

Instead of a child going in and having a tremendous amount of different vaccines pumped into a big proportion of the body … we’re going to recommend that they do five doses marked one, two, three, four, five and that they be given in six-month intervals, so that a small amount of the vaccine gets pumped into the body.1 2

MMR Could Be First to Be Targeted

A likely combination vaccine that could be separated into individual shots would be the live attenuated MMR vaccine, a three and four-vaccine combo shot in the form of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccines.

Last month’s Executive Order actually specified that the MMR vaccine be broken up and be administered as separate shots. The MMR, either Merck’s M-M-R II product or GSK’s Priorix, are recommended for children 12-15 months old (first dose) and 4-6 years old (second dose). Breaking up the vaccine would mean giving three shots (one each for measles, mumps, and rubella) instead of one combo shot for the first dose and three shots again instead of the combination MMR shot for the second dose.3 4

There is another combo shot on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) childhood vaccination schedule—the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis). There are two DTaP combo vaccines licensed in the United States—Sanofi Pasteur’s Daptacel and GSK’s Infanrix. The DTaP shot is recommended to be given five times. The first shot at two months of age, the second at four months, the third at six months, the fourth between 15 and18 months, and the fifth between 4 and 6 years. Breaking up the vaccine would mean, again, giving three shots (one each for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) instead of one combo shot for each of the five doses.5 6 7 8

There are five other combo vaccines licensed in the U.S. that include the DTaP—Kinrix, Quadracel, Pediarix, Pentacel, and Vaxelis. GSK’s Kinrix and Sanofi Pasteur’s Quadracel each add the inactivated poliovirus vaccine to make them four-vaccine combos. GSK’s Pediarix adds the hepatitis B and inactivated poliovirus vaccines, making it a five-vaccine combo. Sanofi Pasteur’s Pentacel adds the inactivated poliovirus and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines for another five-vaccine combo. Lastly, Merck/Sanofi Pasteur’s Vaxelis adds the inactivated poliovirus, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines for a whopping six-vaccine combo.9

There is also the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine), and one dose is recommended for children between 11-12 years old.10

Safety of Combo Vaccines a Concern

Combination vaccines, particularly the combination diptheria-tetanus-pertussis and measles-mumps-rubella vaccines have been used for decades since the mid-20th century. If vaccine manufacturers agree to produce separate vaccines and the CDC officially recommends their use, this policy shift would represent a major reversal in the growing trend toward the development of more and more combo shots containing multiple vaccines.

An article by guest writer Sheri Marino republished in The Vaccine Reaction noted, “While the CDC suggests that combination vaccines are safe, research shows there are more adverse events, such as febrile seizures, with combination vaccines than there are for single vaccines.” Marino added, “Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed a significantly elevated risk of febrile seizures 8 to 14 days after administration of the MMR vaccine.”11

Marino continued:

According to the CDC, pre-licensing data obtained from the Vaccine Safety Datalink, reveals the MMRV vaccine shows recipients were twice as likely to have febrile seizures than those injected with the MMR and Varicella vaccines separately. Another study conducted in Denmark published in the Journal of American Medical Association demonstrated that the 5 valent DTaP-IPV-HIB vaccine has been linked with increased febrile seizures.11
