I'm
constantly amazed at the information that people email to me, but this
one is a whopper doozie spotted by V.S. I've already blogged about the
arrest of Dr. Charles Lieber of Harvard, and about this strange tie to
the Wuhan University of Technology. But there's more lurking in the
background of that Harvard connection than meets the eye, and I just
have to share this one:
Wuhan Coronavirus, Jeffrey Epstein, and Harvard University
tldr:
Epstein gave exorbitant amounts of money, at least $9 million (pledged
$30 million) to researchers funded by DoD, DARPA, IARPA, and NIH at
Harvard University with the expertise and technology to genetically
engineer and improve bacteria and viruses. One of Harvard's most
prominent scientists who received $18 million from DoD and NIH was
arrested and charged for operating a secret lab in Wuhan China just
hours ago - This researcher was given over $1.5 million dollars to do
so, in secret, by Chinese institutions. Meanwhile, the area where the
new coronavirus emerged (Wuhan) recently opened a biosafety level 4 lab
(the only one in China, a country with 1.4 billion people) where
researchers were actually studying and experimenting with the genetics
of coronaviruses over the past few years before the emergence of this
new strain. Whether these things are linked or not remains to be see,
but each of these independent statements are in fact true.
In a way this post contains two distinct conspiracy theories, that I suspect may be linked together, hence my post.
A few years ago, I attended a private government research conference
where Dr. George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School
and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard and MIT, was
describing how his lab systematically altered the genome of a bacterial
cell using synthetic biology and genetic engineering to make cells
resistant to viruses. There was some brief discussion of how these
techniques could be used for the opposite purpose (to engineer viruses
to improve them or make them less recognizable by the host, thus
delaying the immune response). Immediately following Dr. Church’s
presentation, other researchers and myself had a discussion about how
frightening these technological capabilities were. Over the years, this
concern has always remained in the back of my mind and I’ve discussed it
with others that didn’t attend the talk on various occasions. It is
worth noting that a lot of George Church’s recent research also involves
the study and engineering of viruses. Most recently in his career, Dr.
Church has been funded by DARPA and IARPA, with the most recently funded
grant titled, ‘Functional Genomic and Computational Assessment of
Threats’ (by IARPA).
http://arep.med.harvard.edu/gmc/gc_grants.html
The description of this grant solicitation, if you search for it, starts with:
“The biological sciences have experienced extraordinary growth over
the past decade. Technological advances in DNA synthesis, sequencing,
large gene construction, and data analysis are expanding biological
research and the bioeconomy, and are likely to enable revolutionary
advances in medicine, agriculture, and materials. At the same time,
these advances have intensified security concerns around the accidental
or deliberate misuse of biotechnologies. One special concern regards DNA
synthesis technologies that can be used to create novel organisms.”
Hence, Dr. Church is obviously involved in the area of applying
advanced techniques (lab based and computational) to engineer organisms
to make them resistant to viruses (and potentially vice-versa, to
engineer viruses), and is involved in the efforts to combat the risks
involved.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Church was one of the scientists most
involved with Jeffrey Epstein. He received funding from Epstein for the
purposes of ‘cutting edge science & education’ from 2005 to 2007
(the funding was apparently unrestricted). Epstein was convicted of
soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008. Following his conviction, Dr.
Church and Epstein continued to meet. According to an NBC report, "he
had six phone calls and meetings with Epstein in 2014, as shown in
Church’s online calendar (he has posted one every year since 1999).
Sample entry: “Jun 21, 2014 Lunch w/ Jeffrey Epstein, 12-1:30, Martin
Nowak’s Institute.” (Nowak, a Harvard biologist/mathematician, is also a
Brockman client and Edge participant.) He also met with Epstein
“several times” each year since, Church said."
These meetings were often between Church, Epstein, and Church’s
colleague Dr. Martin Nowak, Harvard Professor of Biology and Mathematics
and Director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. At the
get-togethers with Nowak, Church said, “Epstein seemed interested in the
science of life’s origins and mathematically modeling the evolution of
viruses”. Epstein had also previously given a whopping $6.5 million
dollars in research money to Dr. Nowak’s lab at Harvard in 2003.
Apparently, Epstein had actually pledged a total of $30 million dollars
(which is an incredible amount of money for a university professor to
receive for research; large government funded grants usually top out at
$2-3 million over several years) to Dr. Nowak’s program. I was not able
to find additional information on what these talks in 2014 and beyond
ultimately led to, or if more money was pledged to or received by these
prominent scientific figures. Another thing to add is that Nowak also
has a record of studying and writing about viruses, such as his first
book publication in 2000 titled, Virus Dynamics: Mathematical Principles
of Immunology and Virology.
Jumping to a slightly different topic of discussion. There are other two other posts that stood out to me in this sub.
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ev7az3/wuhan_coronovirus_bioweapon_conspiracy_indepth/
This post describes a few things. First, Wuhan, China, the 7th most
populated city in a country with 1.4 billion has a biosafety level 4
(BSL-4) laboratory that was recently established in 2015. It is
apparently one out of 70 or so in the entire world (number was given by
OP of the post linked above; my own search only turned up 52), and it is
the only BLS-4 lab in the ENTIRE country of China. For those unfamiliar
with what BLS-4 refers to, they are labs involving the study of the
greatest biological threats and have the highest level of biosafety
precautions. It is the sort of lab where researchers would attempt to
study and perhaps modify something like a coronavirus. As the other
redditor pointed out (and is also outlined in other r/conspiracy
posts), there are lead scientists, such as Xing-Ye Ge, that study
coronaviruses based out of Wuhan. These studies are often carried out by
a team of 5-20 researchers, usually across institutions.
https://www.semanticscholar.org/author/Xing-Yi-Ge/5583604?sort=influence
If you look up the Wuhan scientists research profile, you’ll be able
to find that this individual and his fellow researchers also publish
studies on adenoviruses in bats (similar to Dr. Church’s own
virus-focused work on adeno-associated viruses, which are similar to
adenoviruses and have similar applications; there is considerable
overlap here). Further searching indicates that adenoviruses and
adeno-associated viruses hold potential to serve as a vaccine for
coronaviruses, and there are several studies on this. Dr. Church’s own
work is related to this, as he studies adeno-associated viruses mostly
in the context of delivering it as a sort of gene therapy for diseases.
To be fair, however, these topics are outside my own area of expertise.
Now on to another recent reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ev9adz/harvard_biologist_charles_lieber_taken_into/
In the last 24 hours, a colleague of Dr. Church and Dr. Nowak, Dr.
Charles Lieber, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and
Chemical Biology at Harvard University, was arrested and criminally
charged over a contract he made with a foreign university. Where? In
Wuhan, China. As a side note, it’s worth pointing out to those unaware
that all three of these people are some of the highest-ranking academic
officials at Harvard and are revolutionary scientists in their
respective fields. They would not at all be considered just minor or
just moderately important figures at Harvard.
According to the Justice Department: "Lieber, 60, lied about his
contact with the Chinese program known as the Thousand Talents Plan,
which the U.S. has previously flagged as a serious intelligence concern.
He also is accused of lying about about a lucrative contract he signed
with China's Wuhan University of Technology."
Apparently, amongst other things, Lieber established a secret
research lab at the Wuhan university and was given $1.5 million dollars
by the Chinese (in addition to salary and living expenses) to do so.
Meanwhile “Lieber was also the principal investigator on at least six
U.S. Defense Department research grants, with a cumulative value of more
than $8 million, according to the affidavit. It also says he was the
principal investigator on more than $10 million in grants funded by the
National Institutes of Health.” So, Dept. of Defense… NIH…
For those that are unfamiliar with academia, you may be wondering
“how often does a leading, well-funded academic scientist from the most
prestigious university in the country set up a secret lab with a foreign
government?” This probably never happens, and it is extraordinarily –
and I mean extraordinarily – odd and suspicious. Researchers are
sometimes solicited by foreign governments and will leak or share info,
but set up another lab somewhere else under the radar? Maybe a minor
scientist would, but a major one? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Some
other redditor mentioned that Lieber’s research seems to be mostly
focused on nanotechnology rather than bioweapons research, and this is
true. However, he has been involved in previous research to use
nanotechnology to detect small viral particles in humans. Most oddly
though, if you try to search Charles Lieber’s Google Scholar page
(basically a page where you can find all scientific articles and books
authored by a researcher), his page just went dark. It shows up in the
Google search results, but says ‘No information available for this
page’. I kid you not, his Google Scholar page went down as I was writing
this post. When you try to click on it, it strangely links you to the
Google Scholar page of some completely different person.
In my mind, these are a series of very strange coincidences that seem
to be interconnected. As the redditor of the first link I posted put
it, what are the odds that the new coronavirus that is now making world
news just so happened to come out of the same place that the Chinese
just set up their first BLS-4 lab a few years ago that also just so
happens to be a place where researchers are studying coronaviruses? What
are the odds that, again, just in the last several hours, one of the
most prominent scientists at Harvard was arrested for setting up a
secret lab in Wuhan, China? Also, why was Jeffrey Epstein giving heaps
and heaps of money to researchers at Harvard studying synthetic biology
and genetic engineering, who had the means to systematically alter cells
or viruses – people receiving money from secret defense agencies such
as DARPA and IARPA – and stated himself he was interested in modeling
the evolution of viruses.
We need to look into these things further. Even if the
Epstein-Church-Nowak part of the conspiracy doesn’t link to the
Lieber-Wuhan Coronavirus portion, these two segments stand well on their
own and I feel that despite having more of a background in nanotech
instead of bioweapons, Liebers arrest for secret lab in Wuhan while the
coronavirus problem continues to explode is just too much of a
coincidence. Why would someone getting $10 million plus from U.S.
funding agencies go through the hassle of setting up a secret lab in
another country and risk his entire life’s work for less money. What was
he doing there exactly? I eagerly wait for more details to come out.
edit: One more thing, it keeps getting better. Another Redditor made this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/evikbw/wuhan_institute_of_virology_an_ad_posted_2_months/
It's unclear who all is involved (such as Lieber or others), but this
seems to be shaping up to be one of the better conspiracies I've seen on
this board in a while.
There
you have it. So it's important to review what this article is saying:
Dr. Lieber worked at the same university as Drs Church and Nowak, both
known associates of Jeffrey Epstein and recipients of his largesse.
Given the nature of their work, it strains credibility to assume that
Lieber was unaware of their work or they of his. They are, after all,
all faculty members working in more or less the same broad discipline.
As they article makes clear, all were working in aspects of modifying
biology and doing genetic engineering, all areas of obvious biowarfare
implications. All of this raises some intriguing high octane
speculations and questions:
1) Why would professors, who are
recipients of government funds for research, also take private funding
in the millions from Epstein? Did they need it? And was Epstein in fact
laundering money for other interests in sponsoring this research? And
does that mean that their are private interests trying to obtain a
biowarfare capability? Their taking of Epstein money on an individual
basis was quite probably entirely innocent. But it's the overall pattern
of a Harvard connection that I find highly odd.
2) Do these questions in their turn
indicate that all of China is being turned into a biowarfare, economic
warfare, and social engineering experiment?
In respect to these questions, the article
itself asks a highly pertinent question regarding Dr. Lieber toward the
end of the piece:
Why would someone (Lieber)
getting $10 million plus from the U.S. funding agencies go through the
hassle of setting up a secret lab in another country and risk his entire
life's work for less money. What was he doing there exactly?
Indeed, and for whom was he really doing it? China? Harvard? Some private international interest?
Like the author of the article, I eagerly
await for more details to come out. In the connection to the idea of
some private international interest however, I'm reminded of a detail
that occurred prior to 9/11, when Russian economist Dr. Tatiana
Koryagina mentioned in Pravda, prior to the events of 9/11,
that the US would shortly be attacked on its own soil by a private group
with assets in the trillions of dollars. Recently, Harvard took its
funding entirely black, and I have to wonder, in the light of this
article, if it is one of the crucial "fronts" or "nodes" for some sort
of private network. Would it be involved in such activities as a massive
social engineering experiment?
Well, as I detailed with co-author Gary Lawrence in our book Rotten to the (Common) Core,
another Harvard chemist - indeed, a former president of the institution
- comes to mind: Dr. James Conant Bryant, and with him, the answer to
that question is a resounding yes.
