Investigation Into U.S. Military Bioweapons-Origin of Tick-Borne Lyme Disease Successfully Added to 2026 National Defense Authorization Act

U.S. Representative Chris Smith says we are now “one step closer to finally determining whether the U.S. government’s bioweapons program contributed to the proliferation of Lyme disease.”

U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ) has successfully included his amendment to investigate whether the U.S. military weaponized ticks with Lyme disease into the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The ordeal underscores the national security threat posed by laboratory pathogen manipulation.

Rep. Smith, who is Co-Chair of the Congressional Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Caucus, had offered similar amendments—one in 2019 and the other in 2021—which passed the House, but failed in the Senate.

The successful addition of the amendment follows FDA Chief Dr. Marty Makary’s statements  during a November podcast, in which Makary expressed his belief that Lyme disease was created in U.S. military Lab 257 on Plum Island, New York.  (See link for article)

Go here to hear Makary state it is highly likely Lyme came from Plum Island – just off the shore of Connecticut, where the first outbreak is recorded.

Smith states his amendments were inspired by Kris Newby’s book, “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons.”  Here’s a clip of her stating she met a CIA black ops guy who stated that the strangest thing he’d ever done in 1962 which was coined, “Operation Mongoose,” was drop poison ticks on Cuban sugar cane workers.  She also explained how a military ‘bean counter’ stated, “We can kill 10,000 people at $1.33 per life,” regarding bioweaponized Tularemia, which is transmitted spread by ticks.

Here, this podcaster Mike Benz explains it was the very same Rocky Mountain Laboratories where Willy Burgdorfer experimented on infecting ticks with various pathogens that also more recently experimented on bats with COVID.

New Rickettsia Species Found in Dogs & Lone Star Ticks in California

Researchers confirm new Rickettsia species found in dogs

By Tracy Peake, NC State

Researchers from North Carolina State University have confirmed that a species of Rickettsia first seen in dogs in 2018 is a new species of bacteria.

The new species, dubbed Rickettsia finnyi, is associated with symptoms similar to those of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in dogs, but has not yet been found in humans.

Rickettsia pathogens are categorized into four groups; of those, spotted-fever group Rickettsia (which is transmitted by ticks) is the most commonly known and contains the most identified species. There are more than 25 species of tick-borne, spotted-fever group Rickettsia species worldwide, with R. rickettsii – which causes RMSF – being one of the most virulent and dangerous.

Symptoms of RMSF in dogs and people are similar, including fever, lethargy and symptoms related to vascular inflammation, like swelling, rash and pain.

“We first reported the novel species of Rickettsia in a 2020 case series involving three dogs,” says Barbara Qurollo, associate research professor at NC State and corresponding author of the new study.

“Since then we received samples from an additional 16 dogs – primarily from the Southeast and Midwest – that were infected with the same pathogen. We were also able to culture the new species from the blood of one of the naturally infected dogs in that group.”

To name a new Rickettsial bacterial species, the bacteria must be cultured, its genome sequenced and published, and the cultures must be deposited in two biobanks so that other researchers can also study it. Qurollo’s group successfully cultured the new species from the infected dog.

Culturing a difficult pathogen

“Rickettsia species are difficult to culture because these organisms grow inside of cells,” Qurollo says. “While we haven’t been able to confirm which tick species transmit it yet, we think it may be associated with the lone star tick, because a research group in Oklahoma found R. finnyi DNA in a lone star tick.”

The researchers named the new species Rickettsia finnyi, after Finny, the first dog they found it in.

“By naming it after an individual dog, we wanted to honor all companion dogs that have contributed to the discovery of new pathogens that could cause serious illness in both dogs and humans,” Qurollo says.

The work appears in Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Are lone star ticks taking hold in California?

The lone star tick, notorious for spreading disease and causing a red meat allergy called alpha-gal syndrome, has long plagued the eastern United States.

Now, UC Davis researchers warn it may be edging closer to establishing itself in California.

Their study uncovered seventy-six lone star ticks reported across the state, including recent finds in the Bay Area and San Clemente. While field teams in 2024 and 2025 didn’t recover any during surveillance, climate models show coastal California offers prime conditions for the species.

Experts say the tick isn’t officially established yet, but the risk is real. With climate change and increased movement of animals and people, scientists caution that Californians should stay vigilant, check for ticks after outdoor activities, and report unusual sightings.

Sadly, climate clap trap has taken hold in research because a political tribalism has taken over due to highly competitive, but limited research dollars to be vied for.  “Science” has been wrong about global warming for over 50 years but refuses to admit fault or reform.  

Regarding tick and disease proliferation, independent research has already proven the climate is a mute point as ticks are highly ecoadaptive, yet the narrative continues on like a bad penny.  And nary a word is ever mentioned about our own government experimenting on ticks and dropping them out of airplanes.

Much easier to blame the climate phantom.

Geoengineering Injected into K-12 Curriculum Across the Nation

https://icandecide.org/press-release/geoengineering-injected-into-k-12-curriculum-across-the-nation/

ICAN’s legal team sent FOIA requests to the Departments of Education of all 20 US states which have adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to investigate whether pro-geoengineering content is infiltrating K-12 curriculums. Documents obtained by ICAN reveal public school curriculum is normalizing geoengineering and even promoting it as a solution to combat so-called climate change.

Twenty US states require their K-12 science curriculum to align with NGSS, impacting over 36% of students nationwide. Concerningly, the NGSS’s Human Sustainability standard, HS-ESS3-4, requires students to “[e]valuate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems” including “large-scale geoengineering design solutions (such as altering global temperatures by making large changes to the atmosphere or ocean).”

While not all states have completed processing the FOIA requests, those that have reveal a troubling pattern. So far, Kentucky and New Hampshire’s responses confirm that their curriculum must align with NGSS standards, including HS-ESS3-4. Additionally, a Michigan Department of Education email obtained by ICAN promotes the use of a high school unit which requires students to use “investigations, simulations, and system models” to “figure out how…two geoengineering solutions could help slow polar ice melt, protecting coastal communities.”

Disturbingly, the NGSS standards do NOT explicitly require students to evaluate how geoengineering could impact their health. If the supposed environmental benefits of geoengineering are being taught, shouldn’t our children also learn about its potential catastrophic consequences? Intentionally injecting pollutants into the atmosphere to block the sun poses unknown—and potentially dire—threats to the air we breathe, water we drink, and soil we grow our crops in.

Merely presenting one side of an issue fails to equip our children with the tools they will need to make informed decisions. If you have found geoengineering in your school district’s K-12 curriculum, please let us know by emailing us at takeaction@icandecide.org.

They did this with GMO as well.  I remember a teenage girl gushing about how GMO food was going to ‘feed the world,’ and all I could think was, ‘if it doesn’t kill us first.’  Sadly, school curriculum is based upon politics, not what is healthy or good for the environment.  It’s also a way to normalize a contentious topic – just sell it as truth and never present opposing viewpoints. Another reason to homeschool!

FDA Investigating Deaths Potentially Linked to COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’

UPDATE:

Another crap paper put out by JAMA claiming the clot shots reduced deaths is flawed to the hilt and is another perfect example of how to lie with statistics.  The study is guilty of using crude matching to claim a benefit.

FDA Investigating Deaths Potentially Linked to COVID-19 Vaccines Across Age Ranges

The probe followed a health official’s memo indicating that the vaccines could be tied to the deaths of 10 children

By Aldgra Fredly

|Updated: 
Article Excerpts:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking into the potential links between COVID-19 vaccination and deaths in various age groups, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The FDA investigation is being carried out as part of a safety review, a HHS spokesperson said on Dec. 9.

The probe follows a Nov. 28 memo by Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), which revealed that COVID-19 vaccines were likely implicated in the deaths of at least 10 children.

The spokesperson did not provide details on which age groups will be covered or what criteria the FDA will use to determine which cases fall within the scope of the investigation.

“If anything, this represents conservative coding, where vaccines are exculpated rather than indicted in cases of ambiguity. The real number is higher,” he stated in the memo. “This is a profound revelation.” ~ Dr. Vinay Prasad

The memo states that the FDA never required manufacturers to demonstrate—through randomized controlled trials—that vaccinating children reduced hospitalization or death. Available data, Prasad wrote, are deeply limited, rely on methods with notorious biases, and fail to establish whether the vaccine saved more children than it harmed.

Prasad criticized common assertions that COVID-19 infection posed a greater myocarditis risk than vaccination, saying that this claim is wrong, that existing studies use “a false denominator,” and fail to evaluate risk-benefit trade-offs for healthy adolescents and young adults.

“Finally, the FDA has failed to properly enforce many required post market commitments for COVID-19 vaccines, including for pregnant women and to document subclinical myocarditis,” he wrote.

Tell the FCC to Stop Cell Towers In Your Neighborhood

This is a hill to die on. Submit your comments to the FCC before Dec. 31, and urge your local elected officials to push back against unchecked cell tower expansion.

December 4, 2025

Take Action: Stop Unchecked Cell Tower Expansion

Imagine waking up to a giant cell tower right next to your home or child’s school.

If adopted, new rules proposed by the FCC will give the wireless industry dictatorial control of cell towers, giving them the right to place them anywhere and everywhere – and there will be virtually nothing you can do to stop it.

What You Can Do:

  1. Make your voice part of the official record by submitting a clear statement before the end of the year opposing these newly proposed rules. Follow the instructions below.
  2. Alert your local officials (mayors, city council members, zoning and planning board members, as well as any additional officials whom you know personally). and ask them to submit comments on your community’s behalf. Share our sample letter (available in Microsoft Word, Google Doc, and PDF format) which can be adapted to the particulars of your community.

How to Submit a Short Comment

To submit an Express Comment of no more than 2,000 characters:

  1. Visit the FCC website.

Suggested Short Comment Text:

I strongly urge you not to adopt the proposed rules or take any of the other contemplated actions set out in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in Docket 25-276, misleadingly titled “Build America: Eliminating Barriers to Wireless Deployments.” This initiative is not about “building America” — it is about stripping away local rights, eliminating public participation, and giving the wireless industry near-total control over the placement of cell towers.

If adopted, these rules would:

* Force automatic approval of towers after 150 days, even if there is strong community opposition.

* Block local governments from requiring independent experts to verify FCC radiation compliance with exposure guidelines, leaving the industry to self-certify.

* Eliminate vital community protections by prohibiting consideration of aesthetics, property values, and historic preservation.

* Undermine property rights by driving down home values without recourse or compensation.

* Silence residents by removing public hearings, conditional and special use permits, and local decision-making.
These rules would allow towers to be placed virtually anywhere, with no say from the people who must live with them. This is unacceptable.

I respectfully call the FCC to reject these rules and preserve the authority of local governments to protect the health, safety, and character of their communities.

How to Submit a Longer Comment
