EBOLAGATE 2014

Protests in Liberia

July 25, 2014 exa nurse from the Kenema city hospital in Sierra Leone went to the city's central market and made a fuss, a crowd gathered. The nurse told the audience that Ebola is a hoax, and doctors are experimenting on patients, deliberately spreading the fever through injections. According to Bloomberg, the police arrested the nurse. The authorities called her mentally ill, but riots broke out in the city and mass refusal of treatment.The crowd began to throw stones at the hospital, and the police responded with tear gas.

In connection with the rebellion of the local population, in September 2014, the American authorities sent about 3 thousand military personnel to Sierra Leone for compulsory treatment in the Kenema hospital and pacification of dissent. The entire population of the country (about 6 million people) was actually placed under house arrest for several days, demanding not to leave the house unless absolutely necessary, distributing bars of soap and searching their homes for hiding sick people.

The streets of Sierra Leone are empty

Simultaneously, in neighboring Liberia, on the central page of the Daily Observer newspaper, an article was published by Cyril Broderick, a professor at the University of Delaware, USA, a native of Liberia.

Broderick claims that Ebola is the result of a failed US military bioweapons laboratory experiment in Kenem, Sierra Leone. .

The US President allocated $ 750 million to fight the fever and build 17 hospitals in West Africa, but in January 2015 it turned out that most of the seven hospitals built in Liberia were empty, reports the Washington Post.

At the height of the epidemic, Liberian hospitals were admitting about 300 new cases each week. By November, when the first hospital was built, the number of cases dropped to 100 a week, in December - 10 cases a week, now the number of cases is close to zero. But by decision of the authorities, American hospitals will continue to be built.

Confirmed Ebola cases in Liberia

- Pharmaceutical company Mapp in the USA in September 2014 signed a contract for $24 million with a prospect of up to $42 million.

- The Canadian company Tekmira signed a contract with the US Department of Defense for $140 million.

Johnson&Johnson receives 100 million euros in grant to develop its Ebola vaccine

- The Obama administration has allocated 750 million to build hospitals in West Africa

- Global diagnostics developer and marketer Corgenix Medical Corporation, which has worked with Tulane University and UASMRIID, has awarded a $3.8 million contract to manufacture diagnostics equipment with the National Institutes of Health.

- The US State Department has ordered 160,000 protective suits from Lakeland Industries.

By the way, regarding protective suits - independent journalists drew attention to the NBC story about the transportation of a patient with Ebola fever - the footage shows how one of the escorts of the patient approaches him without a protective suit. This video further spurred rumors about the custom-made nature of the Ebola panic.

Like tuberculosis, but much weaker

"In 1989, the city of Reston, Virginia, which is 15 km from the White House, was at the epicenter of a biological disaster."

Thus begins the book of renowned science journalist Richard Preston, who has interviewed a dozen top US military virologists. The book is about the sudden mutation of Ebola in the monkey of one of the scientific laboratories in Reston. A few days later, 90 percent of the sick people died. The authorities had to mobilize a secret military force of soldiers and scientists to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus.

Ebola patient

Richard Preston's book "Hot Zone" went on sale in July 1995.Interestingly, decades later, in blood tests, some pig farmers in the Philippines were found to have antibodies to the virus with the same name "Ebola Reston". Farmers who tested positive for the virus did not care for the pigs or come into contact with their secretions.

Following the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa last year, WHO doctors said the strain was 97% similar to the Zairian virus, which is transmitted only in the fluid excreted by an infected person - toblood, feces, sweat, vomit, urine, semen, or breast milk . Through sexual contact, mucous membranes or contact with damaged skin of a healthy person.

In the certificate of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there is a note in small print - the virus can get to a person through close contact, at a distance of a meter from the patient, for example, with a large drop when sneezing.

“Everyday contact is defined as a) being approximately 3 feet (1 meter) away or in the same room or care location for an extended period of time (e.g., medical staff, family members), without personal protective equipment ... or b) short-term close contact (for example, shaking hands) without personal protective equipment At the same time, brief interactions, such as walking or moving around the hospital, are not everyday contact.

Another clarification from CDC: The Ebola virus is not airborne like influenza or measles, which are airborne and airborne. But droplets of Ebola virus are carried through the air like tuberculosis or smallpox at close range, or, as in the case of plague, by contact through sinks, handrails, door handles and other surfaces where secretions may have been left shortly before.

Doctors from the Canadian Public Health Agency told the BBC that macaques and pigs were kept in neighboring cages during the experiments. Pigs were first infected with the virus, and after eight days monkeys showed signs of the disease, although they were separated from pigs by an iron cage.Dr. Gary Kobinger believes that primates picked up the virus by inhaling droplets from pigs that were airborne for a while.

Studies have shown that the virus retains the greatest viability in liquids, for example, the sperm of an infected person is dangerous for 3 months after recovery. On hard surfaces (glass, steel, rubber) in the dark, the Ebola virus remains viable for 6 days. Although the effectiveness is reduced by 90% in the first 36 hours. In the case of exposure to UV rays, 3-4% of the virus survives, but this is enough for infection. The virus can be defeated by heating up to 60 degrees Celsius for 60 minutes, gamma radiation, alcohol-containing liquids, bleach or bleach in a certain concentration. Premises for the purpose of prevention are treated with hydrogen peroxide vapor.

For reference. In the case of tuberculosis, a sick person also emits small drops of sputum and saliva when coughing, sneezing, laughing, where tuberculosis microbes are contained, with these droplets they scatter around at a distance of up to 1.5 m and stay in the air for about 30-60 minutes; with air, they penetrate the lungs of people nearby. Drops of sputum also fall on the patient's clothes, linen, furniture, carpets, walls and floor of the room; they dry up and remain viable much longer than Ebola - six to eight months. Only in Russia in 2013, 83 thousand people fell ill with tuberculosis (total number of patients - 220 thousand) and 15.8 thousand people died (worldwide, 1.5 million people died from tuberculosis in 2013). About 500 million people are ill with influenza in the world every year, of which 500 thousand die (In Russia, 299 people died from SARS and influenza last year, according to Rosstat).

So far, tuberculosis remains the undisputed leader in mortality among all infectious diseases in the world.

Secret objects in the USA

1. The Diego Garcia air base on one of the Maldivian islands, with a size of 50 km of coastline and an area of ​​17 sq km, from where all the local residents were evicted in 2006. On the island isground control system for tracking objects in space Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance. The base is one of the key nodes for tracking satellites, one of five US GPS monitoring stations.


2. Dugway, Utah. The largest test site in the US. It was built by order of Franklin Roosevelt after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Over the past 60 years, the area of ​​the landfill has increased to 800,000 hectares, roughly the size of Rhode Island, one and a half times the size of Moscow. All conditions have been created at the test site for testing chemical and biological weapons protection systems.


3. H AARP or American research project for the study of the ionosphere and auroras. The project was launched in the spring of 1997, in Hakone, Alaska. Is joint project of the US Air Force and the University of Alaska. The scientists used a powerful high-frequency transmitter and a field of 180 antennas in the hope of gaining an advantage in observing the ionosphere. H and the stations conducted research on the possibility of improving radio communications, developing air and missile defense systems, and studying the nature of the ionosphere. In 2005, the object was used to create a man-made Northern Lights. 3.6 MW (the exact power is unknown), the area is about 13 hectares. Around HAARP concentrated rumors about the possible use of the facilityfor mind control, manipulation climate in individual countries.The project website says that the project equipmentcan only function if located in the aurora region, which is applicable only for Alaska. In May 2014, it became known that the US government decided to close the project within a month and develop others.


4. Cheyenne Mountain HQ Military base built in 1966 nearly 800m undergroundin a granite mountain with an underground labyrinth. The facility was built by the US Air Force Space Force. During the construction of the base, many problems arose, since the base's tasks included the ability to withstand an attack of several megatons of explosives. In addition to natural protection, 25-ton doors are installed on the base, and massive beds of military personnel are equipped with special springs that absorb the blast wave well.


5. Pine Gap, Lingiari, Australia. Joint project of Australia and the USA. The space station is located in the desert near the cityAlice Springs. The construction of the station began in 1966, but desert storms, heat and the lack of paved roads delayed construction until 1970. Pine Gap has eight radomes installed to protect the antennas, sparking rumors of a possible UFO connection. Here are units of organizations such as the CIA and the NSA, which receive free access to video surveillance systems and control of potential threats, as well as collect data for further military strikes in the Eastern Hemisphere.In 2009 the AustralianDepartment of Defense announced plans to upgrade obsolete equipment at the facility, indicating Pine Gap has a bright future.


6. USAMRIID, Military US Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Fort Detrick, Maryland. Since the Cold War, the US military laboratory with four levels of biological protection has been developing biological weapons based on dangerous strains of anthrax, Ebola, plague, smallpox, tularemia and others.deadly microbes developed by US Army scientists. After the end of the arms race since 1972, the institute has been developing means of protection against biological weapons and the development of vaccines. This is the only location in the US where a level 4 security lab has double door locks, a sophisticated filtration system capable of trapping microparticles, fumigation chambers, and the building itself is completely airtight. In 2015, it is planned to complete the construction of a new laboratory building (here in 2013, for an unknown reason, there was a strong fire, destroying most of the decoration), it is designed for 800 employees. The Level 4 laboratory will be the largest in the world. The building is resistant to pressure of 100 atm.


7. Airbase in Jacksonville, Florida. Hangar 511 is the Air Force's largest hangar, capable of housing 33 P3-C Orions, four C-130 Hercules and a helicopter unit. In the coming years, the P-8 Poseidon hull with a wingspan of 36 m will be based here. Sections of transparent polymer panels have been installed in the hangar, providing access to daylight. Designers have developed not sliding, but mega-doors made of fabric and rising up like blinds. Their size is 450 m in length and 18 m in height.


8. Raven Rock, Pennsylvania. The complex was built duringCold War, also known as Object "R" and "Pentagon Bunker". This bunker is designed to evacuate the country's top military officials in the event of a global catastrophe. Not far from this location in Virginia, there is a similar Mount Weather FEMA civilian evacuation center.


9. Mobile military camps in Iraq and Afghanistan (TDA), the brainchild of an engineering companyKBR. Deployment takes less than a month, designed for 600 troops. Each tent can accommodate 8 people. Constructed from PVC and composite materials. Each tent has air conditioning to withstand the sweltering heat in the Middle East. The camps operate a vacuum sewer cleaning system capable of purifying water to "nearly drinkable" levels.


10. Edwards AFB, California, built in 1942. It houses the US Air Force Flight Test Center and the NASA Research Center. The center is located next to a dry salt lake that can be used as an extension of the runway.


11. Wing Lajes Air Base, Portugal, Terceira Island. Serves as a filling station for aircraft that fly over the Atlantic Ocean.In 1953, the United States established its presence on the island. The base currently supports the US Air Force and allies in Europe. The island of volcanic rock is located a thousand miles off the coast of Portugal, small in size - 11 km from north to south. Because of this, only one airfield operates on it, the runway of which is divided into two parts - civil aircraft land and take off on one, and military aircraft on the other.


12. Nellis Air Force Base,Nevada. US Air Force Training Center. Created in 1940s. Here, in 2007, the largest in the United States was builtsolar power plant. More than 6 million cells for 72 thousand panels, base capacity of 30 million kWh of clean energy per year.


13. Anniston, Alabama, chemical waste storage facility. Since the 1960s, it has become one of six chemical weapons storage sites. Now it is a recycling baseexplosive charges from mortars filled with chemical agents.


14. submarine baseKings Bay, Georgia. East coast of the United States, since the 1980s, nuclear submarines have been based here. The cost of building the base was$ 1.3 billion, this is the largest project of the US Navy. The area of ​​the base is 16,000 hectares, about a quarter of which are protected by swamps. A 700-meter dry dock has been built here, one of the largest in the world. In addition, the base has a magnetic block that allows you to jam the signal and remain invisible to the nuclear submarine during the following missions.


15. Thule. The most sinceNorthern US military facility located far beyond the Arctic Circle. It operates an early intrusion detection system capable of detecting any intercontinental ballistic missiles launched from Russia. To prevent the occurrence of difficulties during the operation of this base, it was built on a thick ice floe, and the entire electrical wiring and sewerage system was laid through the air, thus remaining always relatively warm and freely accessible.


16. Kwajalein Atoll.The Pacific base is located on more than 11 islands leased from the Republic of the Marshall Islands. This is an ideal location as it is completely isolated and free from radio communication systems that interfere. The workers who run the base and maintain the ballistic missiles have to travel long distances to get to different parts of the base, since the housing complex is not on every island.

It's no secret that there are more than one secret laboratory operating in the world today. Some labs develop projects designed to improve the world, while others improve new high-tech products before entering the market. In this review, we will lift the veil of secrecy over what is happening behind the closed doors of the secret laboratories of world famous companies.

1.Google X

Created in 2010, Google's research and development center, called Google X, is located in an unremarkable brick building near the company's headquarters. It is intended for the development of the so-called "Moonshot" technologies (the most incredible projects that require huge costs). Self-driving cars and Google Glas are two of the lab's most famous examples.

Today, Google X is developing about 100 projects, such as, for example, Internet-connected light bulbs and worker robots to perform routine tasks at home and in the office. Google X is also experimenting with the spread of the Internet (speeds up to 10 megabits per second) in remote areas of the world through a network of hot air balloons.

2. Apple Lab

At Apple's secret lab in Berlin, about 20 employees with technical, software, hardware and sales backgrounds are working on a self-driving car version for their company. They are assisted in this by the automaker Magna, which also manufactures parts for BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Moreover, the team is assisted from time to time by automotive experts from Tesla, Ford and Mercedes-Benz.

3. Amazon Lab

Amazon's secret lab in Cambridge, England, is improving drone delivery of orders 30 minutes after purchase. For the production of drones, 3D printing technology is used to speed up the process. Such Amazon Prime Service Air UAVs are able to rise to a height of 122 meters, where they use GPS to find the place of delivery and fly to it, delivering cargo weighing up to 2 kg at a distance of up to 24 km. At the same time, a special system allows them to avoid collision with obstacles.

4. Samsung Lab

To showcase the innovation program of its Creative Lab, Samsung announced three inventions at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show: a smart belt, a motion controller, and a smart watch band. The belt, dubbed WELT, tracks the wearer's waist size and also monitors the wearer's eating habits, how many steps they walk and how much time they spend sitting. Rink's motion controller is worn on the arm and allows its wearer to experience "a more intuitive and subtle way to interact with virtual reality." The TIPtalk watch allows the wearer to hear phone calls better in noisy environments. You just need to touch your finger to your ear.

5. Telstra Lab

Based in New South Wales, Telstra, an Australian telecommunications company, has built a fully shielded room in its secret laboratory, designed to block out all interference for a perfect environment testing. Mobile lab tests and software updates help the company prevent costly mistakes. The purpose of testing is quality control.

6. eBay Lab

eBay's secret lab in San Jose, California is helping to revolutionize brick-and-mortar stores by enabling them to shop online. Known as Batcave, the lab and its 17 employees have already helped fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff, for example, open boutiques in New York and San Francisco equipped with technology such as smart locker rooms. The highlight of the boutiques will be a $300,000 5.2-meter "iWall" that will instantly respond to touch like a giant smartphone.

7. IKEA Lab

The Butchers' District in Copenhagen may seem like an odd place for a company lab, but this is where IKEA built "Space 10" - a center for research and exhibitions. Space 10 brings together artists, designers and technicians to develop various prototypes that are shown at exhibitions and workshops.

8. Laboratory feces

The Russian government once oversaw a secret fecal analysis lab. During the regime of Joseph Stalin, the Chekists collected the feces of Mao Tse-tung and other famous personalities, analyzing these excrement in order to "build psychological portraits" of people. Igor Atamanenko, a former Soviet agent, uncovered the project while researching the archives of the Russian secret service. The stool researchers believed they could get an idea of ​​the psyche of those in whom the intelligence officers were interested. For example, a high level of tryptophan meant that the person was calm and available for recruitment. On the other hand, a lack of potassium was seen as a sign of nerves and insomnia. Nikita Khrushchev froze the project and closed the secret laboratory.

9. Thomas Jefferson Laboratory

As Matt Scheidt, head of the renovation project at the University of Virginia, said, he always wanted to know why the university's rotunda had such thick walls. When he crawled through a hole in one of the walls, he discovered a chemistry lab made by Thomas Jefferson. The laboratory was built in the 1820s, towards the end of the rotunda, and was walled up in 1840, due to the introduction of more advanced teaching methods. As a result, she was forgotten until October 2015.

10. Laboratory of Hedy Lamarr

Not only was Hedy Lamarr a beautiful and successful star of Hollywood's Golden Age, she was also an amateur scientist who set up a "secret lab" in her bedroom. When Hedy lived in Germany, she was married to an arms dealer from whom she learned a lot about technology. After she moved to the United States due to the outbreak of World War II, she wanted to do her part to help with the war. Knowing that torpedo signals were often drowned out, she and composer George Antheil invented the technology of "jumping frequencies" that were almost impossible to jam. Today, this technology is still used in Wi-Fi, mobile phones and Bluetooth technology.

Continuing the theme of the mysterious, we will talk about. Really fantastic information.

Some projects of secret laboratories are aimed at improving the world and humanitarian goals. Others aim to develop new high-tech products for market launch. Others may have completely different tasks. Before you is a dozen secret laboratories, demonstrating the whole variety of work carried out behind closed doors.

Founded in 2010, this research facility is housed in a nondescript brick building next to the company's main office. The mission of Google X is to develop space technologies, incredible projects that require impressive investments. Self-driving cars and Google Glasses are two of the lab's most prominent examples. Eric "Astro" Teller, head of the Google X Research Center, said: "We will take on anything that can be a serious problem on the scale of humanity, if it is in our power to solve it."

Two of the nearly 100 secret lab ideas currently being worked on at Google X involve internet-connected light bulbs and robotic workers that could do basic office and household chores. By and large, robots will be able to go to work, and people just stay at home.

Google X is also experimenting with high-altitude networked balloons to bring internet to the farthest corners of the earth. A fleet of such balloons will broadcast Internet services supported by unmanned devices capable of launching a new balloon every half hour. During the last tests, the balloons were in the air for 187 days. The experiment, known as Project Loon, successfully transmitted data between balloons at a distance of 100 km in the stratospheric layers of the atmosphere, providing a connection speed of up to 10 megabits per second.

At Apple's secret lab in Berlin, 20 employees with expertise in engineering, programming, hardware and sales are working to create their version of the self-driving car. The end result of their collaboration could be assembled from Magna parts, which also make parts for BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The team's efforts are supported from time to time by automotive experts from Tesla, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz. According to plans, the self-propelled Apple car will be presented to the public in 2019 or 2020.

Amazon's secret lab in Cambridge, England, is working on developing courier drones capable of delivering packages to homes in as little as half an hour. The use of 3D printing technology significantly speeds up the production process. Thanks to GPS technology, Amazon Prime Air Service drones can fly up to 122 meters high, recognize tags, and deliver cargo using a sense and avoid system that helps aircraft avoid obstacles. on his way.

The unmanned aerial device will be under the supervision of a "security operator". If the drone detects an insurmountable obstacle while searching for a path to deliver the package, it will be forced to cancel the mission and land in order to avoid a collision. Parcels weighing up to 2 kg can be delivered up to 24 km.

At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Creative Lab shared three of its latest innovations: smart belt, motion controller and smart watch band.

The WELT strap monitors its owner, measures the size of his wrist, monitors his eating habits, activity, number of steps and the amount of time spent sitting in one place. The motion controller, based on the principle of a hand-held roller, allows its wearer to experience "a more intuitive and detailed way of interacting with virtual reality." The TipTalk watch allows its wearer to hear phone calls better in noisy environments. All you have to do is just touch your ear with your finger.

Located in New South Wales, the secret laboratory of the Australian telecommunications company Telstra consists of several departments and premises. Among them is a shielded room to cancel out any interference so that you can test your products in ideal conditions. There is also a "blue room" in which the walls are covered with carbon-filled micro-cones. From this premises, Telstra works to address issues affecting rural and regional communities. The lab tests mobile devices and software to prevent costly errors.

eBay's secret lab in San Jose, California is revolutionizing the world of online shopping. The eBay Research Center works with stores that serve customers both virtually and on the premises. The laboratory, also known as the Bat Cave, employs 17 people. Her projects include collaborations with fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff, for whom eBay is helping to open new boutiques in New York and San Francisco using technology solutions such as smart fitting rooms. The mirrors in these booths will display style and size guides, but the main highlight of the boutiques will be the 5-meter "iWall" that responds to touch like a touch screen in a giant smartphone. This "wall" cost Rebecca Minkoff $300,000.

In addition, the lab has developed a "connected kiosk" located at Simon Property Group's shopping center in Palo Alto, California. This kiosk works like a large touch screen and helps visitors to the center navigate the stores, as well as find and order goods.

The Copenhagen Meatpacking District may seem like an odd place for a corporate lab, but that's where IKEA has based its Space 10 research center. Space 10 Lab brings together artists, designers, and technologists to develop a variety of prototypes on display at the corporation's trade shows and workshops.

In addition to the 3D-printed fake meatball, the lab has produced crunchy insect balls (Crispy Bug Ball, a provocative delicacy), a veggie roll (Urban Farmer’s Ball) and a food scrap ball (Wonderful Waste Ball). These innovations are designed to tell about revolutionary trends in the food industry, including the cultivation of meat and edible algae in the laboratory. This 3-D technology for the production of nutritional supplements (protein based on algae, beet leaves or insects) is designed to meet the expectations and growing needs of consumers.

Other projects the Space 10 secret lab is hard at work on include a high-tech hydroponic farm and advanced tools (such as laser knives and 3-D printers) for recycling waste.

Fecaloid Laboratory

Incredibly, once in the USSR there was a secret laboratory for the analysis of feces. During the regime of Joseph Stalin, the secret police collected the excrement of Mao Zedong and other important personalities, analyzing their excrement to create "psychological portraits". Igor Atamanenko, a former Soviet agent, uncovered this laboratory while researching the archives of the Russian secret service.

Thomas Jefferson Laboratory

As a project manager involved in the reconstruction of the Rotunda of the University of Virginia, Matt Scheid (Matt Scheidt) wanted to know the thickness of the walls and drilled a hole in it, as a result of which he discovered a chemical laboratory organized by Thomas Jefferson himself. The laboratory was built in the 1820s after the completion of the Rotunda. In 1840 it was fenced off with a wall. As a result, she survived both the fire of 1895 and the overhaul of the building in 1970.

Until October 2015, when Shade infiltrated the Rotunda, the lost laboratory remained secret and unknown to the scientific world. As one of the few such ancient birthplaces of chemical laboratories, Jefferson's Secret Laboratory has become part of the Rotunda Tour Center exhibit.

Laboratory Hedy Lamar (Hedy Lamarr)

Heidi Lamar was not just a beautiful and successful actress from Hollywood's golden age, she was also an amateur scientist who ran a secret laboratory in her bedroom. While living in Germany, she was married to an arms magnate, from whom Heidi peeped some of the technological aspects of his business. After she moved to the United States and with the outbreak of World War II, Heidi wanted to make her own contribution to the fight against the aggressors.

Realizing that torpedo signals were often jammed by enemies, Heidi and composer George Antheil, inspired by piano music, developed and patented a frequency that could "change and switch like a pianist", making torpedoes immune to interference. Their frequency is still used in modern technologies such as Wi-Fi, mobile telephony and Bluetooth.

An article by the well-known Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva about the biological laboratories of the Pentagon in the territory of the former USSR.

Military scientists who are in the diplomatic field are testing artificially created viruses in Pentagon laboratories in 25 countries. Hundreds of thousands of people are systematically exposed to infections from dangerous pathogens and diseases. US biolabs are funded by the DTRA Military Agency, a $2.1 billion CBEP program, the countries of the former USSR (Georgia and Ukraine), the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa.

Biological laboratories of the Pentagon in 25 states as part of the US military program.

Georgia - biological weapons zone

Lugar Center in the Georgian capital Tbilisi - The Pentagon Biological Laboratory, located just 17 km from the US Air Force Vaziani. The military program is being carried out by biologists from the US Military Medical Group in Georgia (USAMRU-G) and private contractors under a federal contract with DTRA. The biological laboratory with the third degree of biosecurity is available only to US citizens with access to classified information. They have diplomatic immunity granted to them under the Intergovernmental Agreement with Georgia on Defense Cooperation (2002).

An agreement between the United States and Georgia gives diplomatic status to US military and civilian personnel working on the program.

According to the US Federal Register, activities at the Lugar Center include the study of biological agents (anthrax, tularemia), viral diseases (eg, Crimean hemorrhagic fever in the Congo), and "obtaining biological material for future experiments."

Private companies under diplomatic cover

DTRA military program managers are private companies. They are not directly accountable to Congress and can circumvent the law due to a lack of direct oversight. Civilian personnel also enjoy diplomatic immunity, although they are not diplomats. Consequently, private companies can operate on behalf of the US government under diplomatic cover without direct control from the host state - Georgia. This practice is often used by the CIA for undercover agents.

Three private US companies operate at the Lugar Center CH2M Hill, Battelle and Metabiota. With the exception of the Pentagon, they manage federal biological research projects, the CIA, and other government agencies.

CH2M Hill has a $341.5 million contract with DTRA under the Pentagon's biological laboratory program in Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan, Southeast Asia. Half of this amount ($161.1 million) is under contract for the Lugar Center in Georgia.

According to CH2M Hill's presentation on the project, the US company provides storage for biological agents at the Lugar Center, where it works with biological specialists who have been involved in the production of biological weapons in the past. These are scientists from another American company that participated in the Pentagon program at the Battle Memorial Institute in Georgia.

Battelle is a $59 million contract subcontractor. The company has experience with biological agents as it has worked on the US Arms Program for 11 US Army contracts in the past (1952-1996). Battelle works in Pentagon biopasswords in Afghanistan, Armenia, Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. The company conducts research and testing using highly toxic chemicals and pathogenic bioactives for a wide range of US government agencies. Battelle has $2 billion in government procurement and is ranked 23rd on the Top 100 US Contractors list.

Operation CIA Clear Vision

Operation Clear Vision (Clear Eyes - Author) (1997, 200) was developed jointly with the CIA and Battelle to establish a Soviet anthrax bomb in order to study distribution methods for which the CIA allegedly studied in the former USSR. The covert operation of the CIA and Battelle was omitted from US statements to the United Nations, which should support countries that have acceded to the international treaty.

Top secret experiments

For the past decade, Battelle has operated the Highest Biology Lab (National Biosafety Center - NBACC) at Fort Detrick, Maryland under contract to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The company entered into two ten-year federal contracts for $344.4 million (2006-2016) and $19.9 million (2015-2026).

NBACC is a secret laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Some of the secret experiments conducted by Battelle at the NBACC include: Dust Spray Technology Evaluation; Evaluation of the hazardous effects of aerosol toxins; Virulence (potency) assessment of B. pseudomallei (Meliodosis) in the form of an aerosol in primates. Melioidosis has potential for biological weapons. The bacterium is classified as a category B biological agent and has been studied by the United States in the past as a possible biological weapon. In addition to military experiments at the Lugar Center, Georgia, Battelle manufactures bioactive substances at the Secret Biology Laboratory at Fort Detrick, USA. According to NBKAK documents, the biological laboratory performs: genetic engineering of pathogens and assessment of their potential as agents of bioterrorism, new non-traditional routes of infection by such agents, erosion tests with primates.

Pentagon biolabs at the epicenter of the Ebola epidemic

American company Metabiota Inc. received $18.4 million under the DTRA program in Georgia and Ukraine for scientific and technical advisory services. In its official Internet profile, the company offers its clients the following consulting services: on-site research on biological threats, pathogen discoveries, epidemic response and clinical trials. Metabiota Inc. was hired by the Pentagon on the DTRA project before and during the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. The company received $3.1 million (2012-2015) for its work in Sierra Leone, one of the countries most heavily affected by the Ebola virus infection.

At the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, where three of the US military labs are located

A report by doctors from Viral Hemorrhagic Consistency Fever dated July 17, 2014 accuses Metabiota Inc. in culturing blood cells in a Sierra Leone lab and misdiagnosing healthy patients that the company diagnosed as sick. The company officially denies these allegations.

Military experiments with biting insects

Entomological warfare is a type of biological warfare in which insects are used to spread infectious diseases. Documents from the program in Georgia show that the Pentagon performs such insect tests.

Fly bites in Georgia

In 2014, the Lugar Center is equipped with a special insect breeding plant and starts the Sand Fly project in Georgia and the Caucasus. The project also covers the territory outside of Georgia - the Caucasus. In 2014-2015 Sand flies of the Phlebotomine species have been captured and investigated in another project, Acute Fever Surveillance Activities. Female flies are tested for infectivity. The third project, including catch and fly analysis, examines the characteristics of their salivary glands.

Insects fly in a bathhouse in Tbilisi. The same type of fly predominantly lives indoors and can be seen throughout the year in Georgia, regardless of the season.

In 2015, biting flies attacked the capital city of Tbilisi. They live indoors, mostly in baths, throughout the year, which is not typical for this type of fly (usually their breeding season in Georgia is very short, from June to September). Witnesses say flies have appeared in their baths and they bite while bathing.

Since the beginning of the FRS project in Georgia and the Caucasus in 2014, the same insects as in Georgia have been attacking neighboring Dagestan (Russia). According to locals, they cause rashes in their bite, live in sewers, and appear in bathtubs.

A US Army report entitled "Arthropods of Medical Significance in Asia and the European Part of the USSR" (1967) lists all native insects, their habitats, and the diseases they carry. Bites from flies that live in sewers are also mentioned in the document. Their natural habitat, however, is in the Philippines, Georgia and Russia.

Operation Whitecoat: Infected flies infect volunteers with fever

According to declassified reports from the US Army (US Army Activities in the US, Biological Warfare Programs, 1977, vol. II, p. 203) in 1970 and 1972, experiments with fever caused by the bite of the San fly were carried out with volunteers in Operation Whitecoat . Although the official termination of the American biological weapons program in 1969, in 1982 USAMRIID (Izdledovatelski Army Medical Institute) conducted an experiment, sand flies and mosquitoes can be carriers of such diseases of the Pentagon, investigating their potential as biological weapons: Rift Valley virus, dengue fever, chikungunya , eastern equine encephalitis.

insect killers

The Pentagon has a history of using insects to spread infections. According to a partially unpublished 1981 US Army report, a series of insect experiments were carried out as part of the US Biological Weapons Program.

Pentagon: how to kill 625,000 people for only 29 cents per victim

A 1981 report compares two scenarios: 16 simultaneous attacks on a city by mosquito-like ticks of the A. Aegupti type and an aerosol attack with tularemia, as well as an assessment of their cost effectiveness and number of victims.

Big Buzz - 1 million A. aeugupti mosquitoes were created in the laboratory, 1/3 of them were placed in ammunition and released from an aircraft or scattered from the ground. Mosquitoes survive the descent from an airplane and look for blood in humans after landing.

Parts of the report, such as the mass production of the Aedes Aegypti, have not been declassified, meaning the operation is still ongoing. Aedes Aegypti is a carrier of diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya and cica (a virus that causes genetic malformations in newborns).

Operation Bellweather: The US Chemical Research Command (Biological Warfare Division) tests mosquito samples to evaluate the number of bites and factors that influence mosquito bites. Experiments with soldiers taking place in Dougai Deutsch, Utah in 1960.

Military experiments with tropical mosquitoes and ticks in Georgia

These types of mosquitoes and fleas (previously trained under the Military Biological Weapons Program) are being studied and collected for research and testing at the Lugar Center in Georgia. The tropical mosquito of the species Aedes Albopictus was first detected in Georgia in 2014 by the DTRA project "Viruses and other arboviruses in Georgia" (viruses infected by mosquitoes and tick viruses) in Georgia, and after 60 - the mosquito of the species Aedes Aegypti.

Both types of mosquitoes are carriers of yellow fever, dengue, shikagunia and zika. With the exception of western Georgia, the Aedes albopictus mosquito, according to the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is also found in neighboring Russia (Krasnodar - to the border with Georgia) and Northern Turkey (on the border with Georgia). Their distribution is not common to this part of the world.

Aedes Aegupti is distributed only in Georgia, Southern Russia and Northern Turkey. They were seen for the first time in 2014 after the start of the DTRA program in Georgia.

In another DTRA project, Epidemiology of Tularemia in Georgia (2013-2016), 6,142 ticks were collected from the ground, 5,871 were cattle, 1,310 fleas, and 731 were tortured for research. In 2016, another 21,590 turtles were collected and sent for analysis to the Lugar Center.

Anthrax epidemic in Georgia and human clinical trials

In 2007, Georgia suspended mandatory annual anthrax vaccination for pets. As a result, the epidemic broke out, and the incidence peaked in 2013. This year, NATO began human clinical trials on a new anthrax vaccine at the Lugar Center.

In 2007, the Georgian government put an end to compulsory anthrax vaccination for 7 years, despite the outbreak. In 2013, NATO starts a new vaccine trial in Georgia.

The Pentagon is studying Russian anthrax

Anthrax is one of the bioterrorism agents that has been developed as a weapon for the US military in the past. Despite the Pentagon's claim that the current program is only defensive, the facts point to the contrary. In 2016, US scientists at the Lugar Center conducted a study on the "Genome Sequence/Russian Soviet Bacillus Siberian Vaccine Strain 55-VNIIVViM" funded by the DTRA program in Tbilisi led by Metabiota (contractor under the US Department of Defense federal project in Georgia).

34 people infected with Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever in Georgia

Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever is caused by infection with a tic-carrying virus. In 2014, 34 people (including a 4-year-old child) were diagnosed with the disease, three died, and an outbreak was noted. At the same time, Pentagon biologists are studying a virus in Georgia developed by DTRA "Epidemiology of Febrile Disease Caused by Dengue and Other Arboviruses in Georgia." The project includes testing patients with symptoms of fever and collecting ticks for laboratory analysis as possible carriers of Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.

The source of the epidemic remains unknown to this day. According to a report from the Department of Veterinary Medicine in Georgia, only one tick of all the ticks collected in the villages where the epidemic is observed is positive for the dangerous virus. Despite claims by local authorities that the virus is spreading to animals, all animal blood samples come back negative. The absence of infected ticks and animals is inexplicable, given the spike in the disease in humans, which means that the virus is spread by man-made rather than natural means. In 2016, another 21,590 ticks of DNA databases were collected for future research at the Lugar Center of another Pentagon project related to the virus, the causative agent of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever "Assessment of seroprevalence and genetic diversity of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and hantaviruses in Georgia".

Military biological laboratory at the epicenter of a deadly epidemic in Afghanistan

237 cases of Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), 41 of which were fatally reported in Afghanistan in December 2017. According to the Afghan Ministry of Health, the majority of infections occur in the capital Kabul (71 cases, 13 deaths), and the province of Herat is on the border with Iran (67 people).

Afghanistan is one of 25 countries in the world where the Pentagon's biolaboratories are located. The project in Afghanistan is part of the US CBEP funded by DTRA. Companies recruited under the program in Afghanistan also operate at the Lugar Center in Georgia - CH2M Hill and Battelle. CH2M Hill has a $10,400,000 contract (2013-2017). Contractors in Georgia and Afghanistan are the same as the diseases that spread to the local population.

Why is the Pentagon collecting and studying bats?

Bats are believed to be the source of Ebola, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and other lethal diseases. However, how these viruses reach humans is not yet known. DTRA has a number of projects to study military pathogens in bats under the Cooperative Biological Collaboration Program (CBEP).

221 bats are euthanized at the Luger Research Center in 2014

Bats are the suspected source of the deadly Ebola infection in Africa (2014-2016). However, he did not provide conclusive evidence of how the virus "jumped" from the bat to humans, raising suspicions of an artificial, not naturally occurring route of infection.

Genetic engineering of viruses is legal in the United States

MERS-CoV is thought to be a virus that originates in bats and spreads directly to humans or jumps onto camels and then humans. However, like the Ebola virus, the exact means of transmission are not yet known. As of June 2017, according to the WHO, there were 80 cases worldwide, 699 of which were fatal, in 15 countries.

MERS-CoV is one of the viruses that has been genetically engineered in the United States and has been studied at Pethagone. Proof of this is President Obama's temporary ban on public funding for MERS-related genetic engineering projects in 2014, as well as influenza and SARS. In 2017, the moratorium was lifted and scientific experiments continued. They are aimed at increasing the infectivity and potency of pathogens. Such dual use experiments are legal in the United States.

Tureremia as a biological weapon

Tureremia, also known as rabbit fever, has been classified as a bioterrorism agent and has been studied by the US military in the past. However, the Pentagon's interest in this disease and its transporters - ticks and rodents - continues to this day. DTRA is running a number of tularemia and other highly dangerous pathogen projects in Georgia. Called. extremely dangerous pathogens pose a serious threat to public health and can become biological weapons. Evidence of their military importance is the following: Epidemiology and ecology of Tularemia in Georgia (2013-2016) (60,000 carriers of the disease collected for scientific research - isolation of new strains and genomics); Epidemiology of human tularemia in Georgia; Human disease epidemiology and high-risk pathogen surveillance in Georgia (study of high-risk pathogens in patients with fever of unknown origin and hemorrhagic fever/septic shock).

F. tularensis is a bacterium that has bioweapon potential. There is a danger that it is used for aerosol attack in bioterrorism.

Biodocumentation of the Pentagon on the spread of the disease in Ukraine

Military scientists under diplomatic cover

Among the series of agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) - an international organization funded primarily by the US government, being granted diplomatic status. The STCU officially funds the projects of scientists who worked on the Soviet Biological Weapons Program. Over the past 20 years, the center has invested $285 million in 1850 projects by scientists involved in the past in the production of weapons of mass destruction.

364 swine flu deaths in Ukraine

One of the Pentagon's biolabs is located in Kharkiv, where in January 2016, 20 Ukrainian soldiers died from swine flu in just two days, and another 200 were hospitalized. The government of Ukraine does not report the death. By March of that year, 364 people had died from influenza in Ukraine (81.3% of cases were caused by A(H1N1) pdm09, the strain that caused the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

Police investigate infection of indigestible disease

Hepatitis A has been the cause of an unexplained epidemic in southeastern Ukraine over the past few months, where most of the Pentagon's bio-passwords are located.

In January 2018, 37 people were hospitalized in Nikolaev. Local police were investigating "contamination with the human immunodeficiency virus and other indiscriminate diseases." Three years ago, more than 100 people in one city contracted cholera. Both epidemics are thought to be caused by contaminated drinking water.

60 people with hepatitis A were hospitalized in Zaporozhye in the summer of 2017. The cause of the infection remains unknown. In the Odessa region, 19 children from an orphanage were hospitalized due to an infectious disease in June 2017. 29 cases of hepatitis A were registered in Kharkiv in November of the same year. The virus is shed in contaminated drinking water. Kharkiv has one of the Pentagon's biological labs suspected of being the source of the swine flu epidemic that killed 364 Ukrainians two years ago.

Cholera epidemic in Ukraine and Russia

In 2011, 33 people were infected with cholera in Ukraine. The epidemic repeats itself in 2014, when more than 800 Ukrainians are diagnosed with a dangerous disease. In 2015, more than 100 new cases of cholera were registered in Nikolaev.

A new and extremely dangerous strain of cholera (Vibrio cholera) with the same genetic structure as in Ukraine strikes Moscow in 2014. The genetic testing carried out proves that the isolated strain in the Russian capital is the same as the causative agent of the epidemic in neighboring Ukraine.

One of the American companies working in Ukraine, the Southern Research Institute, has projects and research related to cholera, as well as influenza and ziku, a disease of military importance to the Pentagon.

In addition to the Southern Research Institute, two American companies - Black & Veatch and Metabiota - are working in biologists in Ukraine.

Black & Veatch Special Project Corp. signed a $198.7 million contract with DTRA to create and equip biologists in Ukraine (two five-year contracts in 2008 and 2012 for a total of $128.5 million), as well as Germany, Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Thailand, Ethiopia, Vietnam , Armenia.

Metabiota Inc. received $18.4 million under the DTPA program in Georgia and Ukraine. The company received another $3.1 million (2012-2015) for its work in Sierra Leone, one of the countries most affected by a severe Ebola virus infection.

The Southern Research Institute has been the main subcontractor for the Ukrainian program since 2008. The company is one of the main contractors for the US Biological Weapons Program with 16 contracts between 1951 and 1962.

Former Soviet scientist produces anthrax for the Pentagon

The Southern Research Institute is a subcontractor for military research on anthrax research in 2001. The main contractor of the Pentagon is Advanced Biosystems, and Ken Alibek (a former Soviet scientist from Kazakhstan who emigrated to the US in 1992. Ken Alibek was the first deputy director of Biopreparat, where he was responsible for the USSR Biomass Program, and was also the chief anthrax production specialist for the the same program as the Pentagon and receives the US citizen Tion.

$1.28 million to lobby Congress, the State Department and the Pentagon

The Southern Research Institute lobbies the US Congress and the State Department for the US Intelligence Project and the Defense Development Project. The lobbying reports coincide with the start of the US Biological Labs Program in Ukraine and other former Soviet republics. The company paid $250,000 to lobby Senator Jeff Tiles (currently US Attorney General appointed by Danal Trump) in 2008-2009 when he received a number of federal commissions.

Over a period of 10 years (2006-2016), the Southern Research Institute paid $1.28 million to lobby Congress, the State Department, and the Department of Defense. Assistant to Geoff of the Capitol sessions is Donald Watson, currently the chief research institute in the South.

Police investigate butolinov poisoning in Ukraine

115 cases of botulism, 12 of which were fatal, were reported in Ukraine in 2016. In 2017, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine confirmed 90 new cases, 8 of which were deaths from poisoning with botulinum toxin, one of the most toxic biological toxins). According to local health authorities, food poisoning is the cause of the epidemic. The police are investigating the causes of mass poisoning with botulinum toxin. In 2014, the Ukrainian government stopped the supply of botulinum toxin, and during the epidemic (2016-2017) there were no vaccines available in Ukraine.

Botulism is a rare and extremely dangerous disease caused by a toxin isolated from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

1 gram of toxin can kill 1 million people

Botulinum neurotoxin is one of the major bioterrorism threats due to its extremely potent toxin activity and its easy production and transportation. This causes muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and ultimately death if emergency medical care is not immediately available. 1 gram of the toxin, distributed under optimal conditions and inhaled into the body, could kill 1 million people. Modes of spread - through an aerosol or contaminated food and water.

The Pentagon Produces Live Viruses, Bacteria and Toxins

According to the Pentagon report, botulinum toxin has been tested as a biological weapon by the US Army in the past, as well as anthrax, brucella, tularemia, etc. Despite the official end of the program in 1969, documents from the US Army show that the same military experiments are still going on. The Pentagon manufactures and tests biological agents in the same military unit as in the past, Dugway Proving Ground.

Field tests now:

Field trials in the past:

American bioweapons factory

The US Army manufactures bioactive substances at a special military facility in Utah's Daugava Unit, according to a 2012 US Army report. The test site is subordinate to the Test and Evaluation Command of the Department of Defense. Responsible for the production of bioactive substances is a separate division - the Division of Life Sciences (LSD) in Dugway. According to a military report, the unit's scientists produce and test biological agent aerosols at a dedicated testing facility, the Lothar Saloman Life Sciences Test Facility (LSTF).

Lothar Salomans Life Sciences Test Facility (LSTF), where biological agent aerosols are produced and tested.

Biological agents manufactured by the US Army in Dugway, Utah, USA.

The division consists of two divisions: aerosol technology and microbiology. The aerosol block creates aerosols, and their fellow microbiologists produce bacteria, toxins, viruses, and biological mimics that are tested in aerosol chambers or field-tested - outdoor tests.

Aerosol experiments with botulinum neurotoxin and anthrax

Documents prove that the US Army manufactures, holds and tests an aerosol of the deadliest toxin known so far, botulinum neurotoxin. In 2014, the Department of the Army purchased 100mg of botulinum toxin from Metabiologics to test the Dugway test site.

The experiments date back to 2007, when an unintentional amount of the toxin was delivered by the same company. According to a 2012 military report, aerospace testing of botulinum neurotoxin and anthrax, as well as aerosols from other biological agents, is being conducted at the Dugway military facility.

Outdoor testing

Military newspapers and photographs from the Dugui test site show that the Pentagon has developed various methods of distributing agents for bioterrorism, including explosives.

The Forage Division activity report lists various spray technologies, including aerosol aerosols. According to army documents, they can be mounted on a vehicle or carried on the back as a backpack, with the option of installing a pump for greater propagation accuracy. These sprays can spray 50 to 500 ml of bioaerosol per minute from 12 liter containers.

United States tests bacteria from Saddam Hussein's bio-weapons factory

Bacillus thuringiensis is an insect pathogen that is used as a biopesticide. The same bacterium B. thuringiensis (BT) Al Hakam was discovered in Iraq in 2003 by the UN Special Commission. The bacterium is called Al-Hakam, which is the name of the Iraqi biological weapons factory. In addition to Pentagon field testing, the same bacterium is commonly used in the United States to produce genetically engineered corn that is resistant to pests. Photos released by the CIA confirm that the bacterium was found by the United States in Iraq. According to the CIA ampoules containing the biopesticide, they were found in the home of a scientist at the Al-Hakam plant.

According to information from the US Federal Register of Registries, the Pentagon is testing bacteria produced and captured by Saddam Hussein's bioweapons factory in Iraq.

Federal DTRA project for laboratory analysis and field trials with bacteria

Field trials using biosimulators (bacteria)

The U.S. Army has conducted the same biological weapons biology tests in the past. From 1949 to 1968, 27 field trials were conducted in public places.

Field trials in Chechnya

DTRA, the agency that manages the military program at the Lugar Center in Georgia, is suspected of being involved in an incident in Chechnya in the spring of 2017. Local residents report a drone spraying white powder near the Russian border with Georgia. The Georgian Border Police did not comment on the incident.

An audit in US federal treasury documents shows that DTRA has full access to the borders of Georgia's $9.2 million federal project. The activities of the Georgian road safety project are entrusted to a private company - Parsons Government Services International, which has already implemented similar projects for borders of Libya, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria under contracts with the Pentagon.

Genetically modified insects contain genetically modified viruses

Last year, the Pentagon invested $65 million in genetic engineering. The Defense Research Agency (DARPA) has awarded contracts to seven insecticide, insect, rodent and bacteria engineers under the Safe Genes program. Genetic changes must be made with the new CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

In another military program, Insect Allies, new genes are being inserted into insects so they can carry genetically engineered viruses into plants. The $10.3 million DARPA program involves engineering insects and the viruses they carry.

Ecological Niche-preference Engineering is the third military program designed to create genetically modified organisms that can withstand certain temperatures, change habitats and food sources.

genetically modified people

In addition to genetically engineering insects and the viruses they carry, the Pentagon wants to change the genetic makeup of humans. DARPA Advanced Tools for the Mammal Genome Project aims to find a new biological platform in the human body to introduce new genetic information and change people at the DNA level.

DARPA wants to insert a new artificial chromosome 47 into a human cell. This chromosome will carry new genes that will be used to genetically modify humans. The American company SynPloid Biotek LLC has two software contracts for a total of $1.1 million: 2015-2016. - $100,600 for the first stage of the project; 2015—2017 - $999,300 for work not listed on the Federal Contracts Register. The company has only two employees and has no experience in previous biological research.

Top secret research on synthetic viruses

Between 2008 and 2014, the US invested $820 million in synthetic biology. The bulk of these investments are made by the Ministry of Defense. Most research is classified information. Among them are a number of secret studies by a scientific group of military scientists - Jason (JASON group) - for example. New viruses, genetic engineering and synthetic viruses.

Jason is a science group providing advisory services to the US government in the areas of defense and scientific technology. It was created in 1960. Much of her research has been classified. For administrative purposes, the Group's activities are managed by MITER Corporation, a company that contracts with the Department of Defense, the CIA and the FBI. Since 2014, MITER has entered into contracts with the Ministry of Defense in the amount of $27.4 million.

While Jason's research is classified, the US Air Force report Biotechnology: Genetically Engineered Pathogens provides some insight into some of the scientific work of military scientists. They are investigating 5 groups of genetically modified pathogens that can be used as biological weapons. These are "double" biological weapons (a deadly combination of two viruses), host-changing diseases (animals "jumping" on people - for example, the Ebola virus), latent viruses, designer diseases. Designer diseases can be designed to attack a specific ethnic group or genotype and be used as an ethnic bioweapon.

Ethnic bioweapon

An ethnic biological weapon (biogenetic weapon) is a weapon that theoretically attacks predominantly ethnic groups or genotypes. Although the official development of such weapons has never been publicly confirmed, documents show that the US is collecting biological materials from certain ethnic groups - Russians and Chinese.

The US Air Force is collecting specifically Russian RNA and sinus tissue samples from the federal project: Russian RNA and Synovial Tissue Samples, which is published on the US Public Acquisition Registry.

In addition to the Russians, according to information from the Government Procurement Register, the United States collects biological material from healthy and cancer patients in China. The National Cancer Institute is collecting biological material from 300 Chinese from Linxian, Zengzhou and Chengdu.

Another federal project (study on the discovery of serum biomarkers by metabolosis in the area of ​​esophageal squamous cell cardiosomes in China) involves the analysis of 349 serum samples from Chinese.

Chinese biological material is being collected and studied by a number of federal projects, including saliva and cancerous tissue. The following purchases of Chinese samples have been published in the US Federal Registry: DNA genotyping samples, breast cancer tissue blocks, saliva samples from 50 families, genotype 50 SNP for DNA samples, genotypes from 3,000 gastric cancer cases and 3,000 controls.

tobacco vaccines

How is the Pentagon helping tobacco companies cash in on Ebola?

The Department of Defense Agency DPAA (DARPA) has invested $100 million in the production of vaccines against dangerous leaf tobacco viruses. The companies involved in the project are owned by the largest tobacco companies: Mediacago Inc. is co-owned by Philip Morris and Kentucky BioProcessing, a subsidiary of Reynolds America, is owned by British-American Tobacco. They currently manufacture influenza and Ebola vaccines.

The $100 million Blue Angel program began in 2009 in response to the swine flu pandemic. Medicago received $21 million from DARPA to produce 10 million doses of swine flu vaccine in just one month. Pentagon Blue Angel Program Manager Dr. John Julius explains, "Although many other plants are being tested for vaccines, the US government has chosen to invest in tobacco vaccines."

The production of factory-made vaccines works like this: scientists isolate an antigen (which causes an immune response in the human body) from a specific virus against which a vaccine is to be produced. The protein from this antigen is injected into bacteria that infect plant leaves. Infected artificial plant leaves begin to produce a protein that is extracted and ready to be used in the form of vaccines.

It is not clear why the Pentagon is investing in "tobacco vaccines." Lobbying reports one of the companies - Alfalfa, whose co-owner Philip Morris testifies that the tobacco company paid $495,000 for lobbying the Department of Defense, Congress and the United States Department of Health funding to develop technology readiness to support public health. The Pentagon funds tobacco companies to develop new technologies and use vaccines.

Biological experiments are war crimes

Chapter 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines biological experiments as war crimes. However, the United States is not a party to an international treaty and cannot be held accountable for war crimes.

In this post I will tell you about another unique object of the USSR nuclear project, which is located near my house. Secret Laboratory "B" interesting for two reasons:
1) the laboratory was established in 1947 by order of Stalin in order to study the effect of radiation on living organisms.
2) there is practically no information about this object on the Internet

For many years only a narrow circle of initiates knew about this laboratory. Even many of those directly involved in the creation of atomic weapons in the USSR have not heard anything about it. Timofeev-Resovsky later noted: “All over the world it is believed that the Americans developed the entire medical isotope, so to speak, biology and the entire aquatic isotope biology. And we did all this before the Americans.”

October 24, 1947 I.V. Stalin signs Decree 3640-1204 "On the organization of laboratory "B" of the 9th Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs", which states:
Assign the following tasks to the laboratory "B":

1) study and classification of the pathological effects of radioactive radiation and the development of methods of protection against these radiations;
2) development of methods for cleaning solutions and wastewater from radioactive products;
3) production of pure radioactive preparations (isotopes)
4) development of methods for isolating and purifying product Z (plutonium) and methods for separating artificial radioactive substances;
5) study of the damaging effect of radioactive decay products and the development of methods of protection against the damaging effect.

1947 There is nothing yet - neither an atomic bomb, nor a nuclear reactor, but the purpose of Laboratory "B" has already been determined - to study what consequences a broken atomic nucleus is capable of.

Everything that science required was delivered from Germany - equipment, apparatus, inventory, materials, libraries, as well as trophy beds, carpets, pianos, refrigerators, and so on. By the end of 1945, the USSR exported about 100 tons of uranium oxide from Germany- the first significant amount of uranium that ended up in the hands of the Soviet atomic project.

German scientists

Together with all this scientific property, German scientists were also taken out of Germany, those who were not taken out by the Americans (300 people). Many of them ended up on Sungul. This is Karl Zimmer, whom Timofeev-Resovsky called the best dosimetrist in the world. This is Hans Born, an experienced radiochemist. This is Alexander Kach. And finally, this is Nicholas Riel, who arrived later.

By that time, he had already managed to show in Elektrostal the technology for the production of metallic uranium mastered back in Germany. At the beginning of 1943, Germany had 10 tons of uranium(in the Soviet Union, the first kilogram of metallic uranium was obtained only in mid-1944). This made such a strong impression on Stalin that he thanked Riel with Stalinist generosity.

He came to Sungul Ril with the star of the Hero of Socialist Labor on his jacket. He was also a laureate of the Stalin Prize of the first, of course, degree. A bonus was given to him - 350 thousand rubles, in addition to the 350 thousand received before. And donated a car. And a dacha with furnishings was granted. And a double salary is set for all years of work. And the right to travel with the family for free on all modes of transport.

In the opinion of local residents, the scientists on Sungul lived behind barbed wire and sharp fences, but - in paradise. Researchers were assigned salaries from one and a half to two and a half thousand rubles. Heads of departments had up to 4.5 thousand rubles a month, German scientists received up to 6.5 thousand rubles, and Nicholas Riehl - 14 thousand rubles. Without a briefcase, he could not take his salary from the cash register. Meanwhile, the average earnings in industry amounted to 700 rubles. And the village in those years did not know money at all. First of all, fresh fruits, including grapes, coffee, Czech beer, good cigarettes and cigars were delivered to Sungul for German scientists.

If the Germans were brought to the Laboratory from Germany, then our scientists were brought from the camps. Geneticist Timofeev-Resovsky was brought to the Laboratory barely alive. He could not stand on his feet, he was brought into the building on a sheet. But such is the difference: from prison, from the camp immediately, without moving, to a heavenly place, to a resort.

Biologist Nikolai Viktorovich Luchnik was also brought from places not so remote. Then he recalled:
- We, the prisoners, were stuffed into a compartment not five, not seven people, as expected, but thirty or more. Such a compartment is a densely compressed human mass, where it is not known where whose hand is, where whose leg is. It is impossible to believe that people can exist in this human mass for at least an hour, and they ride in it for days and days.

N.V. Luchnik, researcher at Lab "B":
We reached our destination late in the evening. In front of us shone with windows without bars a three-story building of a sanatorium type. The forest roared around. In the soron, very close, the lake shone. It was clear that five years of ordinary prisons and camps were over. What the coming years will bring is unknown. But there was confidence that life was saved.

Research

In short and simply, Laboratory "B" was run by physicists and biologists. But physics there was biological, and biology was physical. Thus, in crossbreeding, biophysics was born. The two sciences, claiming leadership in natural science, then intertwined. When the first reactor was launched in Chelyabinsk-40 (Ozersk), from there they brought to Laboratory "B" in a flask "product-903", "yushka", as Timofeev-Resovsky said, a brownish liquid - a mixture of uranium fission fragments. From the "yushka" it was necessary to isolate isotopes, purify them and work with them. Annual grasses were grown on the experimental plots. Seeds were treated with "yushka". The grown herbs were given to the experimental cow, then the milk obtained from the cow was studied. And the work consisted in studying - where the first in the world, where the second, - how radiation affects all living things, where it accumulates and how it is excreted. That is, Laboratory "B" started what, after Chernobyl, the entire world community is still discussing.

L.A. Kuzovkina, employee of Laboratory "B":
- In the basement we had forty kilograms of a uranium compound, it is not clear which one: in a jar, black ... Born gave me a task: we need to bring good salt and isolate a thorium compound with a half-life of 24 days. This was for mice. When I was working with a uranium solution (these are bottles of twenty liters, can you imagine! - I lift them, pour them into cups on the stove), Schmidt, a German special settler, saw: “Lida! Can a woman do that? Invite me!". And so we were so friends with him ... It was necessary to recrystallize all forty kilograms and isolate thorium-X.

Of course, now science knows a lot more about radiation. And now you can look down on what is mined and extracted behind the three zones of the hidden Laboratory "B". Now their mistakes and miscalculations are in full view. But no matter what they say now, the fact is that modern biophysics still stands on several stones laid in its foundation by Laboratory "B", which was given only five strictly classified years.

liquidation

Laboratory "B" was liquidated in 1955 by order of the Minister of Medium Machine Building No. 252 of 04/05/1955. The fixed assets of Laboratory "B" were transferred to the balance of the newly created institute NII-1011 (Snezhinsk city), in which most of the specialists of Laboratory "B" began to work. Some of the employees of the chemical department, the radiopathological laboratory were transferred to plant No. 817 (Ozersk), and the Timofeev-Resovsky laboratory was transferred to the Ural branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

The Germans left for the GDR, and then some of them moved to the FRG. For example, Riehl returned to Germany in 1955 and was accepted as a research assistant at the Technical University of Munich at the Research Nuclear Reactor. In 1961, he received a position as resident professor of technical physics and continued research in the field of solid state physics, in the field of ice physics and optical spectroscopy of solids. He died in 1991 in Munich.

After the closure of the laboratory, radioactive traces of its activity remained, although in recent years a large amount of work has been done to eliminate pollution.

Now there is almost nothing there. On one side, the laboratory is surrounded by barbed wire with "Radiation" signs. The territory is not protected. On the other side there is an entrance guarded by a watchman. There are several abandoned buildings on the territory, but there are also quite working buildings - they are used for warehouses, there is a small printing house. There is another entrance, but it is completely abandoned.

Unfortunately, the pictures were taken a long time ago on a Chinese film soap dish, so there is almost nothing left and the quality is terrible. Inside, abandoned brick buildings without windows and doors - there is not much to look at.

Fallout style photo: a rusty radiation sign at the entrance and a completely overgrown road outside the gate.

Black footprint below: radioactive trace after the Mayak accident in 1957. In fact, it was a small Chernobyl. There is a lot of information about this accident on the Internet. The red arrow points to a break in the road. Actually there is no break. There begins the secret city of Chelyabinsk-70, in which I was born. Now the city is declassified and it is on the maps. But before it looked exactly like this: as if there was nothing.

Very interesting information, as in previous posts.
But somehow it even aspires to me and sometimes it seems that you are a spy;)

:) Yes, great article, and well written! Thanks for sharing
Secret laboratories, entire cities... it's probably strange to live in a place that no one is told about anywhere and you can't tell about its existence. Closed world from prying eyes... a bit creepy

olgaa, 28.09.2009 - 19:55

Hmm ... you don’t even know how to perceive it.
There was science ... but at what cost ... And there is none, and also at what cost ... Worst of all, everything is the same with the country ....

Den, 25.10.2009 - 15:28

And what about the people, I mean those who lived there, worked, served? Or were they brought from somewhere? Are they alive? Were they experimented on? If so, then I'm shocked ... What's wrong with people? It could not be like this - Everything - once and disappear ... This is some kind of nonsense.

Savva, 15.03.2010 - 12:23

Why laugh - laboratory B - this is the 21st site - the village of Sokol =)
People probably safely moved to Snezhinsk or any other cities =)
Or they stayed there - to grow vegetable gardens))

Dmitry, 30.10.2010 - 05:01

And who is this serious man depicted in the photo. Maybe Nicholas Riel himself? Does anyone know him?

Sergey, 7.12.2010 - 07:09

You have very interesting and informative articles. Thanks

Irina, 30.12.2010 - 20:22

there used to be military secrets, but now we just read about them on the Internet ...
and the article is interesting.

I will reply to comment #2.
yes, life is the same as in other cities, except that the regime and secrecy imposes some restrictions.
And so same life, as and everywhere.

Tornado, 28.05.2011 - 11:53

I don't know if Volodya made this site or Viktor Ekimov. Of course, the information is necessary and useful, but something else worries. Why is there no information about ecology and people? Why is everything always GOOD? Why is there not a word about the "lower treatment facilities" and what was merged into it over the course of many years? Why is it not said that a kindergarten and a nursery were located 100 meters from the laboratory? Why is it not said about the object No. 168, what was done there and what kind of accident happened, and how would it have ended if not for Rukovishnikov and others? What "cleanliness" is to this day on "Platonikha", and in general on 21 sites in general. Why do old-timers and young people fail in their legs, and many young people have already died of cancer? Somehow everything is too GOOD!!! Where are the burial grounds? Where was the used "clean" garbage and much, much more taken out? About the background in general - NOTHING !!!
Volodya, or Victor, somehow everything is HEALTHY with YOU !!! GREAT!!!
And that's not ALL and YOU know it, but SILENT. WHY? or, is this YOUR information an ORDER?

Where is the other side of the coin? Where?
If you decide to tell, then tell EVERYTHING - as it is.

jorji, 6.07.2011 - 19:58

I have one question, why did you get the idea that this laboratory is secret these days?!

Tiriel, 21.07.2011 - 20:06

and also, what kind of barbed wire? she hasn’t been there for 10 years, there’s not even a smell of fallouts there. There is now a normal holiday village + children's camp.

no need to tell terrible secrets to people. these secrets are long gone.

Tiriel, 21.07.2011 - 20:12

read carefully.
// Now there is almost nothing there. There are several abandoned buildings in the area.

it was secret 60 years ago. a post about those times when they were just beginning to study the effect of radiation.

admin, 21.07.2011 - 20:35

For Tiriel. I have a question for you. You were there?
The laboratory, of course, is no longer a secret object, and even more so these days.
Dear, a children's camp, a nursery and a kindergarten and chocolate have been there for a long time, even when VNIITF was crap. If you were there and lived, then how long ago did you check your bones for SR 90 and cesium 137? I recommend))

For admin
I see you know a lot about secrets))
The thorn is no secret.
This gives the impression that you, Lord, are not at all aware of the problem of the 21st platform. Have you been walking through the woods with a counter for a long time? I advise))

jorji, 07/25/2011 - 03:36 PM

I fully support the comment above. And I will say that the territory is really contaminated to this day, then all this was done in an open way, people knew little about the dangers of radiation, waste was simply buried in basements - the so-called burial grounds. Now, by the way, it’s not difficult to get into them, everything is out)

Invicible, 27.07.2011 - 15:51

And the experimental ones were those people who lived there, without knowing it themselves, that's why there is so much oncology there)

Invicible, 27.07.2011 - 15:57

You mentioned the pioneer camp. "Eaglet" he was called then. But they forgot to mention about the waste dump and not only household waste across the road - 250-350 meters (which, by the way, was previously guarded). And there (oh!) What could be found at one time. A lot of different things - and colored wire and different electronic blocks and a lot of different things. I was there as a kid, I know. And different flasks with test tubes, etc.
Answer, please, Tiriel, but what happened to the measuring equipment from the landfills, from object 168, and so on?
YES! And further. What can you say about the coagulant every summer at Sungul and Silach? I think you know what it is and what it is eaten with. That's just according to the rules for cleaning water bodies from pollution, including radioactive ones, it is necessary to trawl the coagulant that has absorbed all the muck from the surface of the reservoir and dispose of it, which has never been done. And he's all on the bottom, on the bottom! And what can you say about the maize circling over the 21st at one time. And just do not need to say that it was done from ticks. From ticks and other bugs, processing is carried out at an extremely low height, but from a height of more than 100 meters - this is another matter.
And further. Please think about the following. Why is it that in any camp season, when the water is already warm and you can swim, there is a ban - like - E. coli, etc.? So, there is NO ban for the locals and everyone swims, sunbathe, but for the camp from Snezhinsk - there is))) I smile at YOU kindly))

jorji, 28.07.2011 - 09:43

I went to this place today, I myself live nearby in Ozyorsk, I tried to go there, but now they made a second perimeter there, they didn’t let me in for it. I talked with the watchman, she told me everything as described above (in the article). I took a few pictures if anyone is interested I can post them.

Sergey, 25.09.2011 - 18:21

I was very cool there today and will go again

Spell, 20.11.2011 - 11:46

Our family moved to Sokol to work in Laboratory B on March 1, 1949. And they lived there until the beginning of November 1957, when they moved to live in the first residential building in Snezhinsk. That's why I could tell you a lot.
By the will of circumstances, in the early 90s, I conducted a radiation survey of the industrial zone in which the laboratory was located and compiled a cartogram of the contamination of the territory. After the uproar, the radiation safety department of the institute conducted a second examination for almost a month, but could not find serious errors in my results.
I will express my opinion as a specialist in radiation safety issues. To destroy the first corus, in which not only the laboratory, but also the founders of the institute worked, was, to put it mildly, a big mistake. There was no need for this. Everything could be fixed. But, apparently, some high-ranking gardeners needed a brick on the cheap.
The current situation in the territory is not an emergency. However, significant efforts and financial resources are required to put it in order.
Knowing firsthand the real state of affairs in ZATO Snezhinsk and realistically evaluating the prospects, I can say that a gloomy future awaits the village. Very sorry.

German Lukashin, 12/15/2011 - 20:47

Where is this perimeter? At the end of June 2011, I freely walked through the entire territory.

Yuri, 6.03.2012 - 11:30

Hello German.
If you are a specialist, tell me what it can mean and continue the calculation in reverse order until 1985 (all this is about the 21st site)

I understand and know that today the dose is miserable, BUT! internal radiation and its annual decrease (!)
what happened to the human body from the moment of conception to 1985, taking into account that nothing to do with production, etc. this person did not have, but was simply born and lived on the 21st site, had a garden, ate the gifts of the forest, lakes, etc.. You know the half-life. What is the cumulative dose from birth to leaving this accursed place in 1985. How could this affect his health?

jorji, 27.04.2012 - 11:33

Excuse me, Herman, date of birth - 1959

jorji, 27.04.2012 - 11:36

Hello Jorji!
You are asking a difficult question.
The data presented by you suggests that there was an intake of strontium-90 into the body.
It is difficult to say whether this admission was a single one or whether it was extended over time.
Nevertheless, on the basis of the data presented, it can be assumed that strontium is excreted with a period of approximately 150 days, which is typical for excretion from bone tissues.
In addition, it can be assumed that in the periods preceding 2010, the content of strontium could be significantly higher. But for more accurate conclusions, you need to know your history.
And yet, 160 nCi is not such a meager value. For information - the permissible content of strontium-90 in the bone tissue of personnel is regulated by the value of 2000 nCi, and in the lung - 760 nCi.
Taking into account that the dose limits for the personnel directly involved in the work with radioactive substances are set 10 times higher than for the population, the data presented by you may be the basis for serious conclusions.
In conclusion, I note that the way in which the content of strontium was determined is also important.

Gramble793, 20.05.2012 - 19:19

Hello German.
I'll start with the fact that the content of strontium and cesium was determined during a survey at the FGUN UNPTs FMBA of RUSSIA, Chelyabinsk, at the SEG - "SICH -9.1M" installation.
My story is very simple - I was born and lived at 21 sites from 1959 to 1985. I had nothing to do with work related to radioactive substances. I just lived on the 21st site and that's it. Don't you know this place. And it's pure coincidence that he learned what he learned.
The only problem is that no one cares about it. Looking at one document (received in Snezhinsk) at the Ministry of Social. protection region They said it was a crime and it was necessary to resolve the issue through the courts. In Burzanyan's clinic (unofficially) they said that no one needs extra problems and it is unlikely that anyone will solve this issue. In the presence of many chronic diseases, I see that Snezhinsky doctors do not need this either. No one wants to take responsibility and link these diseases to the 21st, because ... well, you understand. And what is most interesting - Everyone, as one, does not seem to see what is stated in the document of the Regional Directorate No. 15 of the FMBA of Russia, where, although evasively, it is clearly written about the place of residence - "there is a probability of man-made exposure with contaminated areas." Even to me, a person, as a non-specialist, it is clear that the source of radiation in me is more than a dozen years old, and it acts destructively on the body, BUT..................

respectfully,

jorji, 05/23/2012 - 04:15 PM

Hello Yuri!
In order to help you, you need to carefully study the documents you have. First of all, this concerns the results of measurements on WBC "e.
You can send all these materials, if you want, to my email address: [email protected]. And I will send you the materials I have on the radiation situation at the site. After all, I lived there, on Kirova, 5, until 1957.
As boys, we bathed in bathtubs in which solutions of cesium and strontium were diluted for watering the beds. We plugged the holes and filled them with water, to which we splashed. They climbed into the Stroi swamp, filled up after 1955.
Therefore, the presence of activity is a reason to find out its possible sources and ways of entering your body.
I will try to find information about the parameters of WBC (minimum detectable activity, etc.) on the Internet.
In your case

Gramble793, 24.05.2012 - 14:39

Hello German. I don’t understand why you call me Yuri, well, God bless him. Yuri means Yuri.
Submitting research documents for WBS is not a problem. And the only one - that they gave me ...
Herman, how are you looking to meet?
I would really like to make sure that you are you. To be honest, I don't trust e-mail, etc., much.
And I took similar baths)) in the garden. And I ate mushrooms with berries from 168, caught fish there, pricked pike, etc., and also ate, and "walked" around the lower burial ground in search of children's adventures, and dug up different cones with different solutions, and how many lead trailers climbed around and it is difficult to count, etc. ... a lot of things ... but how much iron is different, yes wires ....... in short, a full range of services ... and much more ... And in the body, what strontium, that cesium - with food, but how else, / though I'm not special, I don't know - maybe there is another way / but I think that with food, because, well, you know, they lived with all their own, but grew -that living creatures, that the rest is where it should not have grown. And Buyan with a "gas" and duda further to the burial grounds - just in general there were favorite places ...
