Are Foods Being Turned Into Bioweapons?

Just as medicine is being hijacked by the biotech industry, so is our food supply. President Biden recently signed an executive order that makes biotechnology a key focus of every federal agency, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Story at a glance:

  • Dr. Peter Lurie, president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), and Beth Ellikidis, vice president of agriculture and environment at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), argue for the genetic engineering of food. Both are connected to Bill Gates and other Great Resetters that are pushing to replace all-natural foods with patentable, genetically modified foods.
  • BIO, the world’s largest GMO (genetically modified organism) trade organization, represents more than 1,000 pesticide, pharmaceutical, and biotech companies in more than 30 countries. BIO claims genetic engineering is the solution to heal, fuel and feed the world, and to that end, it lobbies 15 different policy areas, including food, agriculture, and healthcare policy.
  • In 2004, BIO launched BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH), a nonprofit organization that “develops and manages programs across the for-profit and non-profit sectors to accelerate research and development for poverty-related diseases.” BVGH was launched with a $1 million start-up grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
  • In 2018, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spun off a nonprofit subsidiary to the foundation called the Bill & Melinda Gates Medical Research Institute (Gates MRI), which develops biotechnologies to address health problems in poor countries.
  • BIO is partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), and the DOD specifically funds and provides technology transfers for the diseases that Gates MRI and BVGH are focused on: malaria, tuberculosis and Ebola.

In an April 17, opinion piece in STAT News, Dr. Peter Lurie and Beth Ellikidis argue for the genetic engineering of food, claiming “newer technologies can make highly targeted changes at the base-pair level — one specific rung on the DNA ladder — enhancing precision and reducing the likelihood of ‘off-target effects’ in which the base pairs are unintentionally added to or deleted from the genome.”

While targeted genetic engineering is indeed possible, and modern technology lowers the likelihood of unintentional additions or deletions, this precision does not guarantee there won’t be adverse effects.

One of the reasons for this is that many genes are multifunctional and can have multiple downstream effects.

By altering a single gene, you can inadvertently affect the expression of hundreds of others. What’s more, the multifunctionality of genes is rarely intuitive.

So, while it may seem convenient to genetically engineer cows without horns to prevent injury to other cows and farmhands, as suggested by Lurie and Ellikidis, there’s no telling what that tweak might do to internal organs or biological pathways.

In turn, there’s no guarantee that cascading effects will not alter the nutrition of the meat or dairy that comes from that cow. Maybe it’ll be fine, maybe it won’t. The problem is that, oftentimes with genetically engineered foods, safety testing is minimal or absent.

Who do Lurie and Ellikidis answer to?

When assessing the trustworthiness of people, it can be worthwhile to look at their funding and various partnerships.

In the case of Lurie and Ellikidis, both are in league with Bill Gates and other “great resetters” that are pushing to replace all-natural foods with patentable, genetically modified foods.

Lurie — a former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) associate commissioner — is the president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. In the summer of 2020, Lurie launched a comprehensive campaign to put Mercola.com out of business by sending the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission after us based on bogus charges.

CSPI is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Family Fund, Bloomberg Philanthropies and other billionaire-owned foundations. It’s also partnered with the Cornell Alliance for Science, a “global communications initiative” whose primary funding comes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Greg Jaffe, who heads up CSPI’s Biotechnology Project, is also the associate director of legal affairs at Alliance for Science.

Considering those ties, the CSPI’s long history of promoting industry science and propaganda is not surprising in the least. They supported artificial sweeteners, trans fats, GMOs, fake meat and the low-fat myth. They’ve also actively undermined transparency in labeling efforts.

Ellikidis, meanwhile, is the vice president of agriculture and environment at the BIO. She’s leading the “policy and market access strategies for BIO’s Agriculture and Environment section, which includes member companies developing and producing breakthrough technologies in food and agriculture.”

BIO, the world’s largest GMO trade organization, represents more than 1,000 pesticide, pharmaceutical and biotech companies in more than 30 countries, as well as industry groups, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and other related organizations.

According to BIO, genetic engineering is the solution to heal, fuel and feed the world. To that end, it has lobbying committees dedicated to influencing 15 different policy areas, including food, agriculture, healthcare policy, technology transfer and finance.

According to Open Secrets, BIO spent $13,250,000 on “pharmaceutical and health products” lobbying in 2022. For reference, only Pfizer and the lobbying group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America spent more.

How Gates sets himself up for success

In 2004, BIO launched BVGH, a nonprofit organization that “strategically develops and manages programs across the for-profit and non-profit sectors to accelerate research and development (R&D) for poverty-related diseases.”

BVGH was launched with a $1 million start-up grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In 2005, the BVGH received another $5.4 million to expand the biotech industry’s role in the fight against neglected diseases. The Rockefeller Foundation is also funding the group.

Fast-forward to 2018, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spun off a nonprofit subsidiary to the foundation called Gates MRI.

Gates MRI, funded with a $273 million, four-year grant from the Gates Foundation, is focused on developing biotechnologies to address health problems in poor countries.

It’s a convenient setup to say the least.

On the one hand, Gates is funding the R&D of biotech products through Gates MRI, and on the other, he’s funding the acceleration, coordination and management of private-public biotech programs through BVGH.

One key area where the BVGH is being inserted to manage private-public programs is the “Cancer Moonshot” program, launched in 2016 by then-Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden “reignited” and highlighted the program in 2022.

As reported in a White House fact sheet:

“Working with African Access Initiative (AAI) partners, BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH) will implement cancer research projects that are determined and led by African oncologists and conducted in collaboration with U.S. cancer experts.

“Through its African Consortium for Cancer Clinical Trials (AC3T) program, BVGH will facilitate five research projects, build capacity to conduct rigorous clinical research at 50 African sites, promote African primary investigator’s research interests on the AC3T platform, and coordinate the implementation of observational clinical studies.

“In addition to building AC3T sites’ research capacity, BVGH will map the regulatory pathway in five AAI countries. All clinical studies involving cancer drugs will include development of market access pathways by BVGH.”

Gates MRI, in turn, intends to “apply new understanding of the human immune system learned from cancer research to prevent infectious disease.”

Conveniently, he’s got the inside track to all of that through the BVGH.

Biowarfare partners

As it so happens, BIO is also partnered with the DOD, and the DOD specifically funds and provides technology transfers for the diseases that Gates MRI and BVGH are focused on: malaria, tuberculosis and Ebola.

Not surprisingly, the DOD is also seeking to develop and adopt more mRNA-based therapeutics against other emerging biological threats — products that can be manufactured and deployed quickly.

One of the obvious hazards of public-private partnerships becoming more and more intertwined, as we see now, is that the government becomes less and less inclined to ensure the safety of these co-developed, co-owned products.

In a June 2022 BIO webinar, Ian Watson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for chemical and biological defense, specified that the agency will “safeguard” its industrial partners from various threats, including “foreign economic aggression and inherent marketplace vulnerability that are specific to biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals.”

Does “market vulnerability” also include legal action by people injured by biopharmaceuticals that have been brought to market at warp speed?

Judging by what we’ve seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, it sure seems the U.S. government is doing everything it can to hide and suppress evidence of harm, so why would we expect any different in the future?

Are foods being turned into bioweapons?

Getting back to the issue of food, just as medicine is being hijacked by the biotech industry, so is our food supply. Indeed, President Biden recently signed an executive order that makes biotechnology a key focus of every federal agency, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The transhumanist agenda is clear for everyone to see, and it’s being pushed on us from every angle, through food, medicine and national security.

It recently came to light that the swine industry in the U.S. and Canada has been using customizable mRNA “vaccines” on herds since 2018, and to this day, there’s no research to prove the meat is safe for consumption in the long term and won’t affect the genetics of those who eat it.

Based on our experiences with the mRNA COVID-19 shots, which more and more experts are starting to refer to as bioweapons, it’s not farfetched to wonder whether the use of mRNA in livestock might be a form of biowarfare against the public as well, this time through the food supply.

As reported by Dr. Peter McCullough, Chinese researchers have demonstrated that food can indeed be turned into a vaccine (or a bioweapon, depending on the antigen):

“The nation’s food supply can be manipulated by public health agencies to influence population outcomes … Now an oral route of administration is being considered specifically for COVID-19 vaccination using mRNA in cow’s milk.

“Zhang and colleagues have demonstrated that a shortened mRNA code of 675 base pairs could be loaded into phospholipid packets called exosomes derived from milk and then using that same milk, be fed to mice.

“The mice gastrointestinal tract absorbed the exosomes and the mRNA must have made it into the bloodstream and lymphatic tissue because antibodies were produced in fed mice against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (receptor binding domain) …

“Given the damage mRNA vaccines have generated in terms of injuries, disabilities, and deaths, these data raise considerable ethical issues. The COVID States project has shown that 25% of Americans were successful in remaining unvaccinated. This group would have strong objections to mRNA in the food supply, particularly if it was done surreptitiously or with minimal labelling/warnings …

“These observations lead me to conclude that mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on and resistance to mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.”

Say no to mRNA in your food

Moving forward, it’s going to be extremely important to stay on top of what’s happening to our food supply. Many of us were surprised to realize mRNA shots have been used in swine for several years already.

Soon, cattle may get these customizable mRNA shots as well, which could affect both beef and dairy products.

For now, I strongly recommend avoiding pork products. In addition to the uncertainty surrounding these untested mRNA “vaccines,” pork is also very high in linoleic acid, a harmful omega-6 fat that drives chronic disease.

Hopefully, cattle ranchers will realize the danger this mRNA platform poses to their bottom line and reject it. If they don’t, finding beef and dairy that has not been “gene therapied” could become quite the challenge.

Ultimately, if we want to be free, and if we want food safety and food security, we must focus our efforts on building a decentralized system that connects communities with farmers who grow real food in sustainable ways and distribute that food locally.

Legislative efforts are also needed. Bills that would be helpful in steering us in the right direction include the following:

  • The Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption (PRIME) Act — This bill was introduced in 2017 and hasn’t moved since its introduction in the House. The PRIME Act would allow farmers to sell meat processed at smaller slaughtering facilities and allow states to set their own meat processing standards.

Because small slaughterhouses do not have an inspector on staff — a requirement that only large facilities can easily fulfill — they’re banned from selling their meat. The PRIME Act would lift this regulation without sacrificing safety, as random USDA inspections could still occur.

  • The Interstate Milk Freedom Act of 2021 — This bill was introduced at the end of July 2021 as an amendment to the 2018 Farm Bill.
  • Missouri House Bill 1169, which would require labeling of products, including food, that might “impact, alter or introduce genetic material or a genetic change” into the consumer.

Apakah Makanan Diubah Menjadi Senjata Biologis?

Sama seperti obat-obatan yang dibajak oleh industri biotek, begitu juga pasokan makanan kita. Presiden Biden baru-baru ini menandatangani perintah eksekutif yang menjadikan bioteknologi sebagai fokus utama setiap lembaga federal, termasuk AS. Departemen Pertanian.

Sekilas cerita:

Dr. Peter Lurie, presiden Pusat Ilmu Pengetahuan untuk Kepentingan Umum (CSPI), dan Beth Ellikidis, wakil presiden pertanian dan lingkungan di Organisasi Inovasi Bioteknologi (BIO), memperdebatkan rekayasa genetika pangan. Keduanya terhubung dengan Bill Gates dan Great Resetters lainnya yang mendorong untuk mengganti makanan alami dengan makanan yang dapat dipatenkan dan dimodifikasi secara genetik.

BIO, organisasi perdagangan GMO (organisme hasil rekayasa genetika) terbesar di dunia, mewakili lebih dari 1.000 perusahaan pestisida, farmasi, dan bioteknologi di lebih dari 30 negara. BIO mengklaim rekayasa genetika adalah solusi untuk menyembuhkan, bahan bakar, dan memberi makan dunia, dan untuk itu, ia melobi 15 bidang kebijakan yang berbeda, termasuk kebijakan pangan, pertanian, dan perawatan kesehatan.

Pada tahun 2004, BIO meluncurkan BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH), sebuah organisasi nirlaba yang "mengembangkan dan mengelola program di seluruh sektor nirlaba dan nirlaba untuk mempercepat penelitian dan pengembangan penyakit terkait kemiskinan." BVGH diluncurkan dengan hibah start-up $1 juta dari Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Pada tahun 2018, Yayasan Bill & Melinda Gates memutar anak perusahaan nirlaba dari yayasan yang disebut Institut Penelitian Medis Bill & Melinda Gates (Gates MRI), yang mengembangkan bioteknologi untuk mengatasi masalah kesehatan di negara-negara miskin.

BIO bermitra dengan AS. Departemen Pertahanan (DOD), dan DOD secara khusus mendanai dan menyediakan transfer teknologi untuk penyakit yang menjadi fokus Gates MRI dan BVGH: malaria, tuberkulosis, dan Ebola.

Dalam 17 April, opini di STAT News, Dr. Peter Lurie dan Beth Ellikidis berdebat untuk rekayasa genetika makanan, mengklaim "teknologi yang lebih baru dapat membuat perubahan yang sangat ditargetkan pada tingkat pasangan basa - satu anak tangga spesifik di tangga DNA - meningkatkan presisi dan mengurangi kemungkinan 'efek di luar target' di mana pasangan basa secara tidak sengaja ditambahkan atau dihapus dari genom."

Sementara rekayasa genetika yang ditargetkan memang mungkin, dan teknologi modern menurunkan kemungkinan penambahan atau penghapusan yang tidak disengaja, ketepatan ini tidak menjamin tidak akan ada efek samping.

Salah satu alasannya adalah karena banyak gen multifungsi dan dapat memiliki banyak efek hilir.

Dengan mengubah satu gen, Anda dapat secara tidak sengaja mempengaruhi ekspresi ratusan lainnya. Terlebih lagi, multifungsi gen jarang intuitif.

Jadi, meskipun mungkin tampak nyaman untuk merekayasa sapi secara genetik tanpa tanduk untuk mencegah cedera pada sapi dan petani lain, seperti yang disarankan oleh Lurie dan Ellikidis, tidak ada yang tahu apa yang mungkin dilakukan tweak itu pada organ internal atau jalur biologis.

Pada gilirannya, tidak ada jaminan bahwa efek cascading tidak akan mengubah nutrisi daging atau susu yang berasal dari sapi itu. Mungkin akan baik-baik saja, mungkin tidak. Masalahnya adalah, seringkali dengan makanan rekayasa genetika, pengujian keamanan minimal atau tidak ada.

Kepada siapa Lurie dan Ellikidis menjawab?

Ketika menilai kepercayaan orang-orang, akan bermanfaat untuk melihat pendanaan mereka dan berbagai kemitraan.

Dalam kasus Lurie dan Ellikidis, keduanya bersekutu dengan Bill Gates dan "pengatur ulang hebat" lainnya yang mendorong untuk mengganti makanan alami dengan makanan yang dapat dipatenkan dan dimodifikasi secara genetik.

Lurie — mantan AS. Komisaris asosiasi Administrasi Makanan dan Obat-obatan (FDA) - adalah presiden Pusat Sains untuk Kepentingan Umum. Pada musim panas 2020, Lurie meluncurkan kampanye komprehensif untuk membuat Mercola.com gulung tikar dengan mengirim FDA dan Komisi Perdagangan Federal setelah kami berdasarkan tuduhan palsu.

CSPI didanai oleh Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, Bloomberg Philanthropies dan yayasan miliarder lainnya. Itu juga bermitra dengan Cornell Alliance for Science, sebuah "inisiatif komunikasi global" yang pendanaan utamanya berasal dari Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Greg Jaffe, yang mengepalai Proyek Bioteknologi CSPI, juga merupakan direktur asosiasi urusan hukum di Alliance for Science.

Mempertimbangkan ikatan itu, sejarah panjang CSPI dalam mempromosikan ilmu industri dan propaganda sama sekali tidak mengejutkan. Mereka mendukung pemanis buatan, lemak trans, GMO, daging palsu, dan mitos rendah lemak. Mereka juga secara aktif merusak transparansi dalam upaya pelabelan.

Ellikidis, sementara itu, adalah wakil presiden pertanian dan lingkungan di BIO. Dia memimpin "strategi kebijakan dan akses pasar untuk bagian Pertanian dan Lingkungan BIO, yang mencakup perusahaan anggota yang mengembangkan dan memproduksi teknologi terobosan dalam pangan dan pertanian."

BIO, organisasi perdagangan GMO terbesar di dunia, mewakili lebih dari 1.000 perusahaan pestisida, farmasi dan bioteknologi di lebih dari 30 negara, serta kelompok industri, lembaga akademik, pusat bioteknologi negara bagian, dan organisasi terkait lainnya.

Menurut BIO, rekayasa genetika adalah solusi untuk menyembuhkan, bahan bakar, dan memberi makan dunia. Untuk itu, ia memiliki komite lobi yang didedikasikan untuk mempengaruhi 15 bidang kebijakan yang berbeda, termasuk makanan, pertanian, kebijakan perawatan kesehatan, transfer teknologi dan keuangan.

Menurut Open Secrets, BIO menghabiskan $13,250,000 untuk lobi "produk farmasi dan kesehatan" pada tahun 2022. Sebagai referensi, hanya Pfizer dan kelompok lobi Penelitian Farmasi dan Produsen Amerika yang menghabiskan lebih banyak.

Bagaimana Gates mengatur dirinya untuk sukses

Pada tahun 2004, BIO meluncurkan BVGH, sebuah organisasi nirlaba yang "secara strategis mengembangkan dan mengelola program di seluruh sektor nirlaba dan nirlaba untuk mempercepat penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D) untuk penyakit terkait kemiskinan."

BVGH diluncurkan dengan hibah start-up $1 juta dari Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Pada tahun 2005, BVGH menerima $5,4 juta lagi untuk memperluas peran industri biotek dalam memerangi penyakit yang terabaikan. Yayasan Rockefeller juga mendanai grup tersebut.

Maju cepat ke 2018, dan Yayasan Bill & Melinda Gates memutar anak perusahaan nirlaba untuk yayasan bernama Gates MRI.

Gates MRI, didanai dengan hibah empat tahun senilai $273 juta dari Gates Foundation, difokuskan pada pengembangan bioteknologi untuk mengatasi masalah kesehatan di negara-negara miskin.

Ini adalah pengaturan yang nyaman untuk sedikitnya.

Di satu sisi, Gates mendanai R&D produk biotek melalui Gates MRI, dan di sisi lain, dia mendanai akselerasi, koordinasi, dan manajemen program biotek swasta-publik melalui BVGH.

Salah satu area utama di mana BVGH disisipkan untuk mengelola program swasta-publik adalah program "Cancer Moonshot", diluncurkan pada tahun 2016 oleh Wakil Presiden Joe Biden saat itu.

Biden "menyerak kembali" dan menyoroti program pada tahun 2022.

Seperti yang dilaporkan dalam lembar fakta Gedung Putih:

“Bekerja dengan mitra African Access Initiative (AAI), BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH) akan mengimplementasikan proyek penelitian kanker yang ditentukan dan dipimpin oleh ahli onkologi Afrika dan dilakukan bekerja sama dengan pakar kanker AS.

"Melalui program Konsorsium Afrika untuk Uji Klinis Kanker (AC3T), BVGH akan memfasilitasi lima proyek penelitian, membangun kapasitas untuk melakukan penelitian klinis yang ketat di 50 lokasi Afrika, mempromosikan minat penelitian peneliti utama Afrika pada platform AC3T, dan mengoordinasikan implementasi studi klinis observasional.

"Selain membangun kapasitas penelitian situs AC3T, BVGH akan memetakan jalur regulasi di lima negara AAI. Semua studi klinis yang melibatkan obat kanker akan mencakup pengembangan jalur akses pasar oleh BVGH."

Gates MRI, pada gilirannya, bermaksud untuk "menerapkan pemahaman baru tentang sistem kekebalan tubuh manusia yang dipelajari dari penelitian kanker untuk mencegah penyakit menular."

Dengan nyaman, dia memiliki jalur dalam untuk semua itu melalui BVGH.

Mitra Biowarfare

Seperti yang terjadi, BIO juga bermitra dengan DOD, dan DOD secara khusus mendanai dan menyediakan transfer teknologi untuk penyakit yang menjadi fokus Gates MRI dan BVGH: malaria, tuberkulosis, dan Ebola.

Tidak mengherankan, DOD juga berusaha untuk mengembangkan dan mengadopsi lebih banyak terapi berbasis mRNA terhadap ancaman biologis lain yang muncul - produk yang dapat diproduksi dan digunakan dengan cepat.

Salah satu bahaya yang jelas dari kemitraan publik-swasta menjadi semakin terjalin, seperti yang kita lihat sekarang, adalah bahwa pemerintah menjadi semakin tidak cenderung untuk memastikan keamanan produk co-developed, co-owned ini.

Dalam webinar BIO Juni 2022, Ian Watson, wakil asisten sekretaris pertahanan untuk pertahanan kimia dan biologi, menentukan bahwa agensi akan "menjaga" mitra industrinya dari berbagai ancaman, termasuk "agresi ekonomi asing dan kerentanan pasar yang melekat yang spesifik untuk bioteknologi dan biofarmasi."

Apakah "kerentanan pasar" juga termasuk tindakan hukum oleh orang-orang yang terluka oleh biofarmasi yang telah dibawa ke pasar dengan kecepatan warp?

Dilihat dari apa yang telah kita lihat selama pandemi COVID-19, tampaknya pemerintah AS melakukan segala yang bisa dilakukan untuk menyembunyikan dan menekan bukti bahaya, jadi mengapa kita mengharapkan yang berbeda di masa depan?

Apakah makanan diubah menjadi senjata biologis?

Kembali ke masalah makanan, sama seperti obat-obatan dibajak oleh industri biotek, begitu juga pasokan makanan kita. Memang, Presiden Biden baru-baru ini menandatangani perintah eksekutif yang menjadikan bioteknologi sebagai fokus utama setiap lembaga federal, termasuk AS. Departemen Pertanian (USDA).

Agenda transhumanis jelas untuk dilihat semua orang, dan itu didorong pada kita dari setiap sudut, melalui makanan, medis…
