Bats, Gene Editing and Bioweapons: Recent Darpa Experiments Raise Concerns Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

The Unz Review: An Alternative Media Selection-A Collection of Interesting, Important, and Controversial Perspectives Largely Excluded from the American Mainstream Media
~~
Author notes the lack of transparency about this arcane research. I have not seen anything with this level of exploration about DARPA, bioweapons, gene editing in ATS threads. We have wondered for decades whether eugenics would surface real time, not saying this article asserts that per se but that several nations have been studying is frightening. 15 pp long so put some quality time into reviewing the article. Educated opinions about this invited.
Excerpt: Conclusion
Research conducted by the Pentagon, and DARPA specifically, has continually raised concerns, not just in the field of bioweapons and biotechnology, but also in the fields of nanotechnology, robotics and several others. DARPA, for instance, has been developing a series of unsettling research projects that ranges from microchips that can create and delete memories from the human brain to voting machine software that is rife with problems.
Now, as fear regarding the current coronavirus outbreak begins to peak, companies with direct ties to DARPA have been tasked with developing its vaccine, the long-term human and environmental impacts of which are unknown and will remain unknown by the time the vaccine is expected to go to market in a few weeks time.
'Furthermore, DARPA and the Pentagon’s past history with bioweapons and their more recent experiments on genetic alteration and extinction technologies as well as bats and coronaviruses in proximity to China have been largely left out of the narrative, despite the information being publicly available. Also left out of the media narrative have been the direct ties of both the USAMRIID and DARPA-partnered Duke University to the city of Wuhan, including its Institute of Medical Virology.'

Yep, I figured as much from some previous posts, hence mine.
Let me ask you this...
Where are all the quarantines of massive numbers of people in the other countries where outbreaks have occurred?? Where are the house-arrests of families, friends and anyone they've been in contact with?? Answer - There aren't any.
You don't see Seattle or Chicago being quarantined do you? No, you don't.
The facts are, the virus has already jumped the quarantine boundary. Do you have any idea how many flights a day there are out of China? Thousands, loaded with millions of people. Every single day. On day #1 the carriers of the virus had spread the virus worldwide, and on days #2 - 14, before the virus was identified, the same thing happened.
China can do whatever they want. If they want to experiment with their economy and their ability to test the tolerance of their society to endure totalitarianism, that's their business. But let's not fool ourselves, the virus was long gone before any quarantines started. Any quarantines.

The hype was sure there, I lived through the 80s I remember the fear .
"Hype?" At least 32 million people have died from AIDS in the past 40 years. Now realize that AIDS is far more difficult to be infected by that a virus with an infection rate that seems to accelerate in hospitals, where one can assume the highest levels of care to block those transmission parameters are in place and spreads like wildfire in close quarters situations.
We're in for a real bitch of a springtime in North America. That's my bet/prediction. We are spraining muscles patting ourselves on the back for keeping a dozen cases alive in American hospitals... a dozen cases. When, not if but WHEN this bug manages to strike significant numbers anywhere in the USA, the hospital system will get overrun and overwhelmed just like China's has.
Let's say this is no worse than the flu... OK, look at how hard flu season already hits and taxes our syatem... now double the demand for beds and care needs, BUT realize the actual problems with Wuhan Virus are a bit different than the flu. This virus causes septic shock, organ failure, and pneumonia and has been shown to have the disturbing ability to be asymptomatic almost up to the moment it hits the patient with critically low oxygen levels and organ malfunction. That means the already stressed hospitals wont just need additional beds and staff, they will also need special facilities and equipment presently not needed or held in huge supply like they possess for treating the flu.
Sugar coat it all you want... we may get a plain bone, we may get a candy coated bone, either way we're gonna get boned by this. If you believe the laughably unbelievable official numbers out of China, it will simply throw a large amount of chaos and disruption into most of our lives. If you believe the worst case scenarios more and more people are claiming they are witnessing in China, then we will each likely lose people we know to this.

Okay, so let's go with your 'ship' logic for a second here...
Then what would be the harm in removing these same people from the ship and placing them in a proper care facility, even if temporary?? Why keep them confined in solitary confinement on the ship??
Can you imagine being in an 'inside cabin' on this ship? Have you ever seen how small one of those cabins are? They're smaller than a solitary confinement prison cell, I can tell you that!

Hopefully this posts correctly, this tweet is about a new preprint publication about 1099 confirmed corona virus cases.
While it hasn’t been peer reviewed and published yet, it has some very interesting data in there, that can give you an idea of the eventual fatality rate and who will be effected.
1.36% fatality rate so far, 93% of patients still hospitalised when study ended.
However, if it wasn't "that" contageous, and only the weak/old/young got it, then not very many people would get it probably. Even on a ship.

Saw some people reccomending ear plugs or cotton wool buds with two drops of tea tree oil to stop virus entering body through the ears.
Decided to do some more digging.
There are many ways that bacteria can enter your body. All they need is an opening! For example, they can come into your body through your mouth, or your nose, or your ears.
Viruses may also enter in the same ways as bacteria.

Another source mentioned it was uncommon, entry through mucosal membrane more likeley, but still didnt say impossible.

Then I found another rabbit hole, as I often do haha
Gargle and clean your ears with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution--True
This is a weird one. But many people swear by it. Back in 1928, Dr. Richard Simmons proposed that cold and flu viruses enter the body through the ear canal. And 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (found at any drug store and sells for less than two dollars) is incredibly effective at killing bacteria and viruses. By gargling with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and putting a few drops in your ears at the first signs of a cold or flu, you might be able to decrease your odds of catching the flu.

I don't advise over-the-counter medications, but one simple treatment you can try that is surprisingly effective against upper respiratory infections is hydrogen peroxide. Many patients at my Natural Health Center have had remarkable results in curing colds and flu within 12 to 14 hours when administering a few drops of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into each ear. You will hear some bubbling, which is completely normal, and possibly feel a slight stinging sensation. Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 minutes), then drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide in 3 percent solution is available at any drug store for a couple of dollars or less. It is simply amazing how many people respond to this simple, inexpensive treatment.

The peroxide treatment is interesting.
I'd say it's worth wearing earplugs, mask and goggles.
For a mask n100 is best, then n99, then n95. Better is a full face respirator with n100 filters. Better again is a gas mask with a nato 40mm CBRN filter.

There's a disease sweeping across the world; that much is certain. But it ain't Coronavirus, that's for sure!
The "disease" is called selfishness!!
"I don't care what you do to those guys...over there. Torture them, starve them, whatever it takes...just keep 'em out of MY backyard!!"
But if the tables were turned...oh boy...would they be screaming bloody forking murder then!!! You'd never hear the end of it...for a thousand centuries!!
It's called hypocrisy! Hypocrisy and selfishness!
A virus doesn't care about good will, you let it spread and it will, look at the cruise ship. It's not something you can decide to let loose out of moral high ground.
And if you do, you'd need to take responsibility for every single death outside of China, literally nobody with half a brain would do such a thing.
