The initial question regarding this article was, how do I begin? With DARPA? In-Q-Tel? How about taking the easy way out by jumping right into the World Economic Forum (whose creator, Klaus Schwab, has been characterized as the “perfect Bond villain.” And coincidentally, the “Q” in In-Q-Tel is a subtle homage to Ian Flemmings fictional character Q, the infamous MI6 inventor and supplier of James Bonds most sought after weaponry and gadgets). What about starting off with The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations entrenchment in “pandemic prep” investment? Nope. Naturally, I should begin where I first caught the idea for this story: researching the impressive biotechnology portfolio that In-Q-Tel currently has vested interest in.
In-Q-Tel, a venture capitalist firm based out of Arlington, VA (a mere 12-minute drive from the Central Intelligence Agencies headquarters in Langley, VA). Their mission, as stated on their website: “Visionary startups. Experienced VCs. Dedicated government professionals. In-Q-Tel leads from the center of this matrix, connecting cutting-edge technology, strategic investments, and purpose: to enhance and advance national security for the U.S. and its allies.” A mission statement worth raising an eyebrow over? Not necessarily. A mission statement worth diving into? Absolutely.
By now the assumptions you are having on In-Q-Tel are probably correct. In-Q-Tel is the venture capitalist appendage of America’s intelligence apparatus (primarily the CIA) whose sole purpose is to infiltrate tech companies that have potential pioneering technology the Department of Defense (DOD) can utilize. Formed in 1999 (at the height of the tech-bubble), their purpose has always been the same. The intuitive nature of even their earliest investments is reflective of the DOD’s overall mission to gain a significant head start on understanding and molding a sought-after trajectory of what they deem will be beneficial to us all. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, in his groundbreaking book, The Real Anthony Fauci, states that once a company signs a “State Secret Contract” with In-Q-Tel, if broken, secret courts can enforce 20-year prison sentences, property forfeitures, and other harsh measures. According to CIA officer Kevin Shippley: “Once he signs that secrecy agreement, that Silicon Valley entrepreneur is now functionally the indentured servant of the Agency.”
The early 2000s saw In-Q-Tel taking a shadowy lead in understanding the future of what we so often hear about today with regards to social media: data mining. In 2003, In-Q-Tel director, Gilman Louie, stated on NovoDynamics, a tech company who at the time was characterized as being a “leading supplier of Advanced Discovery Informatics:” “After extensive due diligence, we found that NovoDynamics had a very strong technology base that can help enhance the electronic ‘reading and mining’ of real-world documents in multiple languages. We look forward to continue working with NovoDynamics as they add new capabilities.” A mere eight months later, In-Q-Tel announced their partnership with Spotfire, another tech firm specializing in data analytics. As stated by In-Q-Tel: Spotfire technology offers “The ability to fuse and visualize data from multiple sources remains a critical task across all types of enterprises.” The article continued: Spotfire technology will “integrate, analyze and visualize information from both text data mining tools as well as statistical tools – addressing the need to analyze large amounts of text and provide analysts with visual search and browse capabilities.”
Fast forward to December, 2021, and the scandalous ridden data mining controversies involving companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter are no secret. What is (almost) a secret is the Facebook and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) linked origins. In 2002, DARPA and contractors working for MIT were in the process of creating Lifelog: an internet-based program which sole purpose was to track, document, and scan people’s daily activities, phone calls, internet search’s, instant messages, emails, etc. In January 2004 the project was abandoned due to backlash. Facebooks birthplace was Harvard, only a few minutes’ drive from MIT. Its date of birth, January 2004.
“The U.S. still lacks an interoperable data infrastructure to capture the results of diagnostic tests conducted by so many disparate entities in so many disparate settings. Our data systems are simply not connected despite the existence of technical standards to do so. Even within states, each county sometimes runs their own program. Federal coordination, and in some cases, mandatory provider participation will be required. I would argue that this should be one of the principal areas of attention if we are to build a 21st century public health system.”
“To ensure the ability to monitor viral evolution and spread, the CDC must immediately expand its genomic surveillance system and analytic capabilities in collaboration with private and academic laboratories”
-LUCIANA BORIO, M.D. (May 2019-Sep 2020 VP of In-Q-Tel)
Metabiota is 1 of 14 biotechnology startups listed under In-Q-Tel’s portfolio. Started in 2008 by American virologist Nathan Wolfe, Ph.D. Their mission: pandemic forecast. As stated on their site: “Our mission, making the world more resilient to epidemics. Epidemics threaten lives and livelihoods around the world. We provide data, analytics, advice, and training to prepare for global health threats and mitigate their impacts.” Wolfe delivered his first Tedtalk at the 2009 Ted Conference dissecting topics ranging from the AIDS epidemic, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-Cov), and you guessed it, forecasting the next virally loaded super spreader event (to an audience that happened to include Bill Gates and Al Gore).
The linkages found between a largely unknown pandemic forecasting firm like Metabiota to the much larger, global run coalitions of nonprofits, government agencies, and privately run organizations is as telling as it was in 2003 linking In-Q-Tel to largely unknown data mining specific tech firms like Spotfire and NovoDynamics to the widely known privacy infringements and data mining activities that run wild and seemingly unchecked in today’s digital world. The Rockefeller foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum, DARPA, the CDC (amongst others), are all playing a pivotal role in what was previously mentioned, setting us all on a trajectory with what they are deeming globally beneficial.
“A group of powerful players — the World Economic Forum, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust — have rallied to form an organization called the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, with the goal of finding ways to help fund the creation of vaccines that are badly needed but not likely to turn a profit for drug makers (the author has questions ready regarding a statement such as this). And a pilot project that has been underway for the past seven years — called PREDICT — has discovered about 1,000 new viruses.”
Metabiota alone has its ties tethered not only to the CIA, but the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the Gates Foundation. On October 21, 2021, The Rockefeller Foundation announced a $150 million dollar investment into the so-called Pandemic Prevention Institute. In September 2021, the Rockefellers also announced the backing of Tellenbosch University, the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the Chan Soon-Shiong Foundation. Their goal: increase “pathogen surveillance” across the continent of Africa. The WEF has continually stated since March 2020 — when draconian “health” measures were first being enforced in the west — that global cooperation is needed to help forecast future pandemics. A report published by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform (a WEF affiliate) stressed the need for the creation of a “high-level” intergovernmental council for pandemic prevention and global cooperation to ensure the next pandemic does not occur. In January 2021, Bill Gates announced his personally constructed plans for a “global alert system” that included immense testing, 10s of billions of dollars of annual spending, and a cadre of 3,000 “first responders” ready to spring into high gear on a sneezes notice (what the job description of a pandemic prevention first responder exactly entails is to this date a mystery. It could not have anything to do with what is currently on-going in Australia, could it?) In August 2021, the CDC announced the creation of the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics which will historically go down as America’s first government-wide “health outbreak center.” The list continues on. It is an on-going coalition of international players hurrying to implement such rapid “pandemic forecasting” measures. According to an article published by the UK government: “This commitment to prevent the spread of deadly pandemics comes as the leaders of the G7 meet this week to redouble efforts to defeat COVID-19 and build back better from it. Through the UK–US partnership, we will work with global partners including the World Health Organization (WHO) and philanthropic funders, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to develop global capacity for rapid genomic sequencing. This international approach to future pandemics builds on the Prime Minister’s recent launch of a new ‘Global Pandemic Radar’ to identify emerging COVID-19 variants and track new diseases around the world.”
We have already seen the early linkages regarding DARPA, MIT, and “promising” tech conglomerates, i.e. Lifelog and Facebook. That was nearly twenty years ago. Do such links exist in today’s COVID world? Do DARPA and MIT have any vested interests in what Bill Gates has already coined a 10 billion dollar a year industry: pandemic forecast? Can any verifiable links be established in 2021 surrounding the ever-growing COVID preparedness market, DARPA and private institutions like MIT?
“Just as massive wildfires can be prevented by putting out smaller fires before they spread, so too can localized outbreaks of disease be quashed or prevented before they grow into pandemics. With that dynamic in mind, DARPA has been managing an audacious portfolio of projects designed to generate pandemic stopping know-how and to act on that knowledge by dramatically reducing the time it takes to scale-up the means for preventing, diagnosing, and treating any infectious disease that might arise, even ones the world has never seen before.”
The first issue of Wired magazine was published in March, 1993. Their initial seed funding came from the founder of MIT’s Media Lab, Nicholas Negroponte. His brother, John Negroponte, was the Director of National Intelligence (who had ethically questionable sympathies for Central American death squads). Wired is known for its fervent support of various establishment causes. Including the advance of pro-corporate, and intel-agency views across the internet and social media platforms. Food safety advocacy, medical rights, and vaccine injury claims have all been shunned and attacked by Wired. Even families of vaccine-inured children have been the target of Wired’s strictly pro-vaccine campaign. For years, figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have been a particular target by Wired for his apparent “anti-vaccine” stance. A Wired article published in February 2021 holds nothing back in making known their support regarding the creation of a “pandemic prediction agency." The article explains: “Two longtime advocates — of a pandemic prediction agency — epidemiologist Caitlin Rivers of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (Event 201, anyone?) and Dylan George, a vice president at the intelligence agency-affiliated venture capital firm In-Q-Tel. Think of it, they say, like a National Weather Service, but for predicting and studying pandemics and disease outbreaks rather than hurricanes and tornadoes. It’d combine data gathering capabilities with a centralized approach to the kinds of epidemiological and statistical models that featured so heavily in the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic.” Adam Rogers, the articles author, initially found his roots as a Fellow for Knight Science Journalism at MIT.
The research being done in the laboratories of MIT itself pertaining to pandemic forecasting is of no surprise. Researchers there have been utilizing AI word processing technology to predict and identify genetic sequences of pathogens to signify how they may develop. The utilization of MIT’s research by the CDC has been of public knowledge since January 2021 when Dr. Bonnie Berger, the programs director first acknowledged it. Also of no surprise is the very public relationship MIT has with DARPA. The programs they collaborate on are often times never spoken of in the public forum; but they do not hide the fact they have been in collaboration for decades.
The ARPANET (the precursor to today’s Internet) was first created by DARPA in 1969. As previously discussed, the early 2000s saw DARPA moving forward with Lifelog. In 2010, former director of DARPA, Dr. Regina Dugan, transferred to Google as an executive director. Later, in 2016, she transferred to Facebook to help advance a mysterious project called Building 8. Building 8 centered around neuro-scanning technology and augmented realities (Metaverse, anyone?). Since 2010 alone, DARPA has invested millions of dollars towards the advancement of gain of function research. Not to mention the monetary support it has shown Moderna towards developing its mRNA technology. 2015-16 saw DARPA beginning to publicly acknowledge the tissue-integrated biosensors it was developing in conjunction with the private sector. Otherwise known as organ-on-a-chip technology. In 2016, Profusa — a California based biotechnology company — announced a $7.5 million grant awarded by DARPA to develop tissue-integrated biosensors for battlefield use to track multiple body chemistries. Ironically, on March 3, 2020, just eights day before the WHO announced COVID-19 as a pandemic, Profusa announced the initiation of a study to implement biosensors in tracking down early warning signs of Influenza. The announcement states: “DARPA-Backed Study Leverages Profusa’s Lumee® Oxygen Platform as Part of a Larger Effort to Speed Detection and Predict Disease Outbreaks.” The work PROFUSA has been conducting is a part of DARPA’s larger SIGMA program. The public perception of SIGMA is to promote the need of early chemical, nuclear, and biological threat detection systems throughout the United States ( à la Bill Gates' April, 2020, bioterror prediction on live television; including the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post lead story on how Gates warned former President Trump of an imminent bioterror attack).
“Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed—no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.”
George Orwell, 1984
My only contention to this being Orwell must have missed the DARPA/Facebook backed Building 8 and biosensor memo.
A decade ago, DARPA began its work on what they refer to as Micro-Physiological Systems research: the precursor to today’s organ-on-a-chip technology. Like the SIGMA program, the development of organ-chip technology has been integrated into DARPA’s P3 Program: Pandemic Prevention Platform. Another perfectly timed federal effort to spot pandemics before they occur, according to a 2018 article published by DARPA: “The P3 Program which began in 2017, seeks to halt the spread of any infectious disease outbreak before it can escalate into a pandemic.” As has historically been the case with DARPA programs, the P3 program was initially characterized as having only military safety related applications. That narrative changed once March, 2020 rolled around. With DARPA sounding the alarm that organ-chip technology can be used across the public sector to help aid in the early warning global COVID-detection system, the profit garnered by organ-chip technology is set to increase substantially over the next five years from $60 million in 2021, to $285 million in 2026 (still small fry profits compared to the global COVID vaccine/booster market). According to the Wyss Institute (another DARPA backed organization with their own organ-chip research program), in conjunction with AstraZeneca and Johnon and Johnson, stated: “We took a game-changing advance in microengineering made in our academic lab, and in just a handful of years, turned it into a technology that is now poised to have a major impact on society.”
In 2005, Dr. Tony Fauci warned that H5N1, the avian bird flu, beginning in Hong Kong, would test global populations to its limits. In 2005, Neil Ferguson (the same Neil Ferguson who partnered with Dr. Fauci in 2020 in developing another set of wildly exaggerated COVID-19 fatality death estimates; as well as the last month seeing Ferguson speak of how deadly the new Omicron variant could potentially be), a British epidemiologist based out of Linacre College warned the death toll from the avian bird flu could reach 150 million globally. By 2009, the global death toll of the avian bird flu topped out at 282 people. 2009 was also the year the world saw the arrival of the swine flu (H1N1). Nearly three months after the first H1N1 cases popped up, fewer than 150 people worldwide had perished. Despite this, a global vaccine push in the amount of $18 billion was generated after the WHO labeled the arrival of H1N1 a pandemic. A disease Ferguson estimated would kill nearly 70,000 Brits but by the end of the WHO hyped H1N1 pandemic, 457 people in the UK had died. Later, in 2016, the world received another dose of end times level reporting and tax-funded vaccine spending surrounding the Zeka virus. After a $2 billion Zika-based vaccine campaign and peeking out at 5,600 cases in the United States, Zika never spread beyond Florida and Texas. Nevertheless, Dr. Fauci reported the disease “will come again” and “we must be absolutely prepared for it.” Before Congress, the Zika discussion briefly reemerged in June 2020 in front of the likes of Dr. Fauci. Regarding the Zika vaccine, Fauci explained: “It was never brought to full fruition because Zika disappeared.”
Code named Dark Winter 2001; the 2003 and 2005 Atlantic Storm simulations; the Global Mercury 2003 simulation; the 2005 SCL simulation; the 2010 Operation Lockstep scenario; the MARS and SPARS simulations of 2017; Clade X of 2018; the Crimson Contagion simulation of 2019; and culminating in October 2019, one month after the initial Wuhan COVID cases began to officially appear, Defense Department officials, joined by the CIA, social media heads, World Bank and WEF officials, Johnson and Johnson, leading heads from major corporate media outlets, and interestingly, officials from the Chinese CDC all came together to hold Event 201: the culmination of nearly twenty years of scenarios revolving around global contagions, took place at the Gates funded Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins. The goal: wargaming how a clamp down on power can be most easily (manipulatively) achieved under the guise of public health.
What’s next? With the evidence we had available to us twenty years ago could we not have predicted a future along this current trajectory? With the evidence we have available to us now can we not predict the next trajectory? If there is one probability that I set out to explore when I began writing this article, it was the global coalition backed by various entities who seemingly have a never-ending supply of money who for all intents and purposes are trying to make “the next pandemic” a part of our daily lives.
Thank you. Good work.
Amazing! I don’t know how you found all these facts—and made the connections. Bill Gates is gonna shut you down before you even begin!
