Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 221 COVERT MILITARY OPERATIONS, BIOENGINEERING AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF VIRUSES: AN IGWUEBUIKE DISCOURSE Hilary Ugwu, MSW University of Oklahoma School of Social Work Norman, USA, hiugwu@yahoo.com Executive Summary In the Art of War, Sun Tzu (544 B.C – 496 B.C), the ancient Chinese military tactician, outlined combat subterfuges to dismantle the enemy. His strategies not only involve physical combat. It also includes using swift psychological dexterities to paralyze the opposition. Military generals around the world have studied Sun Tsu, mastered his tactics and made exponential improvements. Thus, the portrait of modern warfare is that of a theater of apocalyptic death. Think of the horrors of mass-killer viral attacks, thermonuclear pulverization, sonic sound- frequency weapons, lethal gaseous nerve agents, the manipulation of electromagnetic spectra for destructive purposes, etc. The threat of nuclear annihilation hunted humanity during the time of the Cold War. The Cold War indeed ushered in an era of rapid anti-human scientific and technological intensification. Two super heavyweight economic ideologies, viz the Anglo-American capitalism, and Soviet Communism, were masturbating and exhibiting their erectile military narcissism. It was a time of looming fear— unbridled arms race, socio-economic sabotage and psychopathic war-mongering. It was also be beginning of race to conquer the space, hence the installation of space- based complex planetary reconnaissance spy satellite systems. The Cold War era spiked-up mass brainwashing Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 222 and unmitigated propagandas. We were told that the battle line was drawn between ‘demon-’ driven Marxist- Leninist authoritarian eastern communism and ‘angelic’ Anglo-American exploitative imperial capitalism. However, these two world powers pushed the rest of mankind into taking sides. The Cold War gave mischief makers insatiable Dracula-kind of bloody appetite for developing and stockpiling mass destroyer-weapons, including bioweapons (BW) which herein is my main focus. Keywords: Igwebuike, Kanu Ikechukwu Anthony, Military Operations, Bioengineering, Weaponization, Viruses Introduction: Ancient myths abound which portray man as acting wickedly against his own kind. The Latinized aphorism, ‘homo homini lupus’—man is wolf to man, captures tersely mankind’s deep-rooted belief that man is a predator as well, just like the wild wolf. The statement reveals man’s psycho-traumatic paranoid fear relative to him being preyed on by his own kind. The human experiences of trauma and victimization find their ways into the linguistic lexicons. Man would not have created words such as homicide, infanticide, genocide, holocaust, pogrom, etc., if he had not traumatically experienced them. These words elicit dark creepy feelings. They also re-trigger repressed collective anxieties. Humanity’s primal psycho-trauma exists in all of our collective minds. The Swiss analytical psychologist, Carl Jung, calls this realm of collective minds, the “objective psych.” This is the realm of our congenital unconscious mind. The darkest and deepest part of our collective fears has manifested throughout history in storytelling and mythologies. In ancient Kemet (what Greek erroneously called Egypt), there was a mythology that tells of the drama of the death of one man in the hand of another by a deliberate act of killing. This is the myth of Seth and Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 223 Osiris. Seth/Set (original name, Setesh) premeditatedly killed his brother, Osiris (original name, Asar) in the vilest and sadistic manner. The myth paints a picture of gory precision medical assassination. Seth dismembered Osiris’ body into fourteen pieces and scattered the remains all over the River Nile. The name, Seth, has continued to migrate into the human conscious history. Seth invokes certain nomenclatural diabolism: Shaitan, in Arabic, and Satan, in Christian theology, both of which derive from the Kemetian Seth/Set. Whether you call him Seth, Set, Sheth, Setesh, Sutekh, Setan, Satan, Shaitan, I am referring to the same primordial character in African mythology. The drama of Seth/Set is deeply encoded within the human collective psychology. Modern Anglo-linguistic formation identifies Seth with darkness, since the word Sun-Seth (sunset). Seth is the Prince of Darkness, and his coming foreshadows night/darkness and evil in the ancient African mind. This primordial human trickster (Seth) became the god of evil as well as the god of the barren WILDERNESS. He causes death and chaos. Seth was referred to as the Apep or Apophis, that is, the Great Dragon/Monster/Serpent/Beast (Remler, 2010). Jesus was in the Seth’s (Satan’s) wilderness and was tempted by him. While this article is not a recapitulation of ancient African theological construct, I must not fail to point out that the atrocious deed of this prehistoric man (Seth) has become the objective embodiment of evil as a monstrous entity within the collective human psyche. My point is that man is capable of inverted evolution (devolution) into Sethian- likeness (Satan-like) through his deliberate act of wickedness against his own kind and nature. Similarly, the myth of Cain and Abel, specific to the Hebrew scripture, continues to warn us about the murderous instinct encoded in the human freewill. The Hebraic myth introduces mankind to the dramatic prelude of man’s premeditated killing of his own kind. This biblical story is the primeval blueprint to murder consciousness. Cain’s method was simplistic, anachronistic and crude. When the deity, Elohim, asked him the whereabouts of his brother, he gave a Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 224 classical response “Am I my brother’s keeper?” This Cainite response would set the future stage for humanity’s careless, irresponsible and unaccountable predisposition toward their own bio-kinds. The point is that those we trust to protect us have continued to exhibit Cainite psychopathic nature, narcissism and antisocial proclivities. The above prehistoric Sethian/Cainite murder mythos serve as reminders that man, in fact, does exterminate his bio-kind for diabolical intentions. It is not completely irrational to make apriori assumptions that man’s darker nature easily succumbs to the lures of cruel, nefarious and murderous instructs embedded in his free choice. Today, modern man has perfected his inherited Sethian/Cainite killing skills, using advanced scientific and technological methods. Modern man is obsessed with anti-human sciences and seems to reach a state of orgasmic euphoria when he is able to unleash death and destruction on the planet. Man can now, through molecular engineering, create and spread deadly bio-synthetic terminator pathogens that can wipe out any crowded cities. Viruses: The Invisible Demon The English natural philosopher, Robert Hooke (1635—1703), changed the world after he discovered that organisms have cells. This finding was possible through the use of light microscope. Antonie Leeuwenhoek (1632—1723) made another significant discovery, the bacteria. Following similar trend, a Russia scientist, Dmitry Ivanovky (1864—1920), was able to discover a much smaller micro agent, the virus. These discoveries opened some doors into the microscopic universe of microorganism. Ivanosky found that viruses are filterable micro agents. His experiments indicated that viruses were able to pass through Poreclain Chemberland Filter which bacteria could not pass through. Thus, scientists, for the first time, learned that there are micro agents that are much smaller than bacteria. The word “virus” derives from Latin and implies poison. Viruses and bacteria are completely different. Viruses have no cellular structure as Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 225 bacteria. Another distinguishing feature of viruses is their extremely small size. A bacterium is a giant in comparison to a virus (Zimmer, 2011). Scientists, in their taxonomic classifications, exclude viruses from living organisms. In other words, viruses are non-living biological agents. So, if viruses are non-living organisms, what are they? They are infectious virions which are capable of entering a cell and initiating a replication cycle (Payne, 2017). A virus carries a single nucleic acid encased within its protein coats. They parasitize off of all other forms of life on earth. They have replication cycle which means that they have the capacity to change their genome rapidly. This is why viral mutations are very common. They have fluidity of adaptation on new hosts. The mysterious artificial-like nature of virus makes it difficult to fight. Bacteriological attack is more manageable than virus attack. Some viruses can mutate so quickly it is nearly impossible to create an effective single medical solution to eliminate their mutation variants. Bacteriophages is a scientific terminology which points to the fact that viruses can infect and destroy bacteria (This sounds like top gangster.). Due to their small sizes, they are described as “filterable diseases.” They can pass through filters that bacteria cannot filter through. Viruses lack ribosomes and must steal ribosomes from its host for translation of their mRNA. Scientists report that viruses are known for their geometric sophistication which are not observed in natural microbial organisms (Tennant et all, 2018). They sort of behave like invisible demons. Biological Weapon (BW): A Historical Morphogenesis Bioweapon (BW) skeptics who are uncomfortable with the idea that man uses viral attacks on his own kind often recite litanies of epidemics throughout history as a ‘proof’ that intentional viral attack is made-belief. Their argument is that if man, in the context of historical ecosystems, has always experienced death by germs, it is, therefore, ‘unreasonable’ to think that germs are intentionally created and deployed to attack humans. The most cited example is the bubonic black plague that ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages (I will provide a new viewpoint on this as you read on.). No reasonable person denies Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 226 the fact that disease-causing agents have always existed in man’s natural environment. The real question which skeptics of BW miss is this: Has man used germ as a BW? The answer is yes. Let’s outline the historical progression of BW from four fundamental point of views, viz: (a) pre-microbiology era (pre-germ discovery era), (b) the era of applied microbiology, (c) the era of aerobiology and industrial microbiology and, (d) the era of molecular biology and biotechnology. I will provide a brief theoretical description of these for eras of BW expansion histories. Pre-Germ Era: The use of germs as BW has always been practised by man throughout ancient time, even before the discovery of microbial agents via microscope. Soldiers are familiar with diseases due to high level of exposures to unsanitary battlefields conditions. Thus, military tacticians of ancient time learned to harness pathogenic agents for bio-attacks on their enemies. Valerius Maximus, a Roman author— more than two thousand years ago - provided a historical testimony that diseases were used for purposes of war (Guilemin, 2005). In ancient times, the army deployed carcasses of diseased animals or corpses of highly infected people to contaminate water supplies in populated areas to cause mass death on the side of the enemies. They sent infected and highly contagious people to enemy cities and towns as a way of spreading the diseases. Ancient Greece Army used extremely poisonous extracts from plants to contaminate water sources on the enemy side. The eye-opening written account of Gabriele de’ Mussi, concerning the battle siege of Caffa in 1346, indicates that the Black Death in Middle Age Europe was a distinctive case of BW. Mussi reported that the Black Death (which killed an estimate of 50 million people) was as a result of soldiers’ flinging rotten diseased corpses into the besieged walled City of Caffa to cause infection and contamination. He indicated that contaminated fleeing Italians brought the plague to Europe. Evidence indicates that rats helped to spread this plagues, but according to Mussi, the initial cause was traced to military BW. Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 227 Advent of Microbiology: The next shift in man’s BW capacity was brought in by the science of microbiology. Man is able to, through advancement in science, identify in a test tube specific microbial agents as the cause of illnesses. Man learned to isolate, modify and deploy pathogenic agents. Thus, military strategists saw a ripe opportunity for weaponization of viruses. This was the beginning of the scientific development of BW which changed the concept of warfare forever. On a positive side, man’s capacity to understand, prevent and fight germs improved exponentially with the science of microbiology. Microbiology leads to the knowledge that simple preventive measures like sanitization was able to prevent diseases. Progress in Industrial Aerobiology and Microbiology: Aerobiology deals with the study of the spread and effect of biological agents for public health purposes. Following World War II, industrial societies entered a new era of industrial microbiology. This era ushered in industrial-scale pharmaceutical production and customization of microbial organisms for various purposes. Breweries, baking industries, allopathic pharmaceutical companies, etc., utilized bacteria massively for product manufacturing. Some bacteria are beneficial and necessary for the survival of the human organism. With this era also came a problem, the mass production of death-causing viruses for BW purposes. The Era of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: In the early 1950s, Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the double helix structure of DNA. A new scientific revolution was born (Koblentz, 2009). Thus began the new era of genetic engineering. This propelled microbiologists into a new form of BW heights. The ability to manipulate gene code made bioweaponeers demigods. Viral strands cannot only be studied from their genetic composition, but the humane genetic strands are also carefully studied. With this mixture, it became easy to create virus that can target specific people based on genetic history. Gene editing has positives but lots of negatives as well. Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 228 The Military Weaponization Viruses “In this age of technological inhumanity Scientific atrocity Atomic mis-philosophy Nuclear mis-energy It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity” Bob Marley—Survival (song) The lyrics above is from Bob Marley’s SURVIRAL album. Marley offers a prophetic glimpse into the inordinate and gloomy empirical materialism of modern civilization. He paints a portrait of the age of draconian scientism, epistemological imperialism as well as scientific atheism. It is the era of dictatorship that passes for science. The consequence of man’s exaggerated fanatical faith in material science is leading man into an apocalyptic horror. This is the age where man has to face the demon of invisible micro-bug created in laboratory. Some of the world’s most powerful governments and their elite military intelligences, in collaboration with some civilian ‘mad scientist’, have engaged in secret BW research and development. Certain research institutes have been exposed as having engaged in Bioweaponry, for instance, The Pasteur Institute in France, Porton Down Research Center in England, Ivanofsky Institute of Virology in Russia, Fort Detrick Military Research Institute in the United States, The Tokyo Institute, Japan etc. These institutions are linked to underground anti-human-anti-God-anti-nature BW research activities (Horowitz, 1998). Countries such as Isreal, Lybia, Egypt, China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, Syria, to name but a few, are reported to have engaged in the use of bioweapon (Koblenz, 2009). The notion of BW involved microorganism used intentionally to cause illnesses and death. What makes microbial BW agents lethal is their capacity to mutate, reproduce and spread. A bio agent released within a given environment could linger for years, just waiting for activation inside a host. Chemical weapon is easily detected and felt. But BW could take days and months before victims become symptomatic. Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 229 BWs are relatively cheaper to make compared to other forms of mass weapons (Cole, 1990). This could explain its appeal to mischief makers. According to expert advice to the United Nations, large-scale attack against a civilian population costs $2000 per square kilometer, using conventional weapon, $800 with nuclear weapons, $600 with nerve–gas weapons, and only $1 with BW. To think that the military could ignore such low-cost budget in international arms’ race would be to play the ostrich. In 1980, the U.S. annual budget, involving BW development, is $1 billion. There is no question that viruses are being made in test tubes. Experts indicate that certain viruses can be cultured in test tubes “by mixing purified genomes and protein.” The said genomes may have been synthesized (Payne, 2017). The modern rise in BW research and development came from warmongering mindset of industrialized nations. As way back as 1920s, France was working on the use of microbial agents as weapons. Japan may have started working on BW in the early 1930s. The United Kingdom, Soviet Russia as well the United States have engaged in BW research and development as means of winning wars and dominating their enemies. The military proponents of BW development believe that mass death of civilians will bring a battle- resistance nation on her knees (Guillemin, 1999). There are sufficient historical reasons to conclude that some deadly man-made bio agents which at one time or another have ravaged human society might have come from clandestine military laboratory bases and may have been either released accidentally or by deliberate intent. Looking back at the mid-19 th century, one could notice that the threats of global catastrophe and the end of life on earth by thermonuclear pulverization was widespread in newspaper headlines, books, televisions and radio talk shows. Even then, the media paid less attention to the possibilities of human-induced virological outbreak of similar apocalyptic proportion. I would assume that the reason threats from BW mass death are given less attention is because viruses are microbes and are imperceptible to the naked eyes, unless with special equipment. So if people didn’t see it, they think it posed less threat. Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 230 Viral attacks usually sneak into a population and cause mass death undetected. So they are not as dramatic as thermonuclear destructive explosions. The period between 1945 and 1991 has been classified by military historians as The Cold War era. World War II was crucial in understanding man’s weaponization of microbes. Molecular sciences, like microbiology and other nano-based sciences, provide man with the tool for detailed study of structures, systems and behaviours of microscopic organisms. Man’s scientific ability to understand the structures of Deoxyribonucleic Acid as well as Ribonucleic Acid offers him the endless mastery of post-transcriptional modification, that is, the ability to control gene’s expression. The ability to splice genes means that man has acquired the science of the gods. He too can create or destroy at his whims and caprices. Those who weaponize microbial agents for dark evil agendas will not hesitate to use such knowledge to instigate mass pandemic, bioterrorism, disorientation of population, Pavlovian-style mass behaviour modifications/social control, economic collapse, political control, social systems collapse and mass death. There are people who believe in and want to implement Malthusianism and Nazi-style eugenics. Soviet Russia and Microbial Warfare During the Cold War, Russia’s Ostrov Vozrozhdeniya (translated as Rebirth/Renaissance Island) was used as one of the BW research, development and test locations. Multiple reliable sources, including declassified documents, implicate elite Soviet military intelligence for the existence of so many weaponized strands of killer viruses. Some prominent Russian BW facilities were, at least according to official report, dissolved in the early 1990s, following the collapse of communist Russia. However, it would be unwise to trust official reports and believe that Russia’s BW capacity has been disarmed. BWs were developed and used during World War II. In 1942, as both the Russian and the German fronts were preparing for the battle of Stalingrad, a virus outbreak occurred. This virus was named Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 231 Tularemia, and it was a BW. It was uncertain if this came from the German side from the Russian side. What is clear, however, was that Russia had a well-established BW capacity. Russia’s Biopreparat Agency was dedicated to research and development of unnatural pathogens as BW. The Agency was created through a clandestine decree and has top military officials who were themselves dedicated scientists. The reason most of BW activities around the world are strictly under military secrecy is because bacteriological warfare is prohibited by the Geneva Protocols of 1925. This deceptive prohibition is nothing but a toothless dog. Virological weapon continues to be developed by the world’s most sophisticated militaries and nothing happens. These deadly germs are deployed for all kinds of agenda. Other Soviet military facility used for BW development include, the Center for Military Technical Problems of Anti- Bacteriological Defense, Sverdlovsk; Scientific Research Institute of Microbiology, Kirov; the Center of Virology,Zagorsk; Leninggrad’s Scientific Research Institute of Military Medicine, to name a few. Russia’s Biopreparat Agency was overseen by Russia’s Fifteenth Directorate. This covert agency came under different army chiefs at different times, including, General Yury Tikhonovick, as well as General Vsenolod Ogarkov. Russia boasted possession of SS-18 killer missile capable of conveying active bio agents to target destinations. The Communist Red Army strategists were obsessed with this mission of ‘conquering the world’ through epidemiological attacks and mass death if need be. Russia’s viral capacity was enormous. Cities were marked around the world for viral attacks. Many will not want to imagine that genetically modified infectious microorganism have been used on the masses around the world in the past and have continued to be used in the present time for nefarious reasons. There are enough information to make intelligent assertion that as far back as 1920s, Soviet Communist Russia has enlisted the best and brightest of their scientists in the development of killer viruses to be used as BW. Russian military strategists were using low- Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 232 flying airplanes loaded with deadly microbes, spraying them around (Alibek, 1999). Imperial Japan and Weaponization of Virus Japan has been involved in the development and use of BW for anti- human purposes. During World War II, Japan invaded the Chinese region of Manchuria. What made this invasion additionally horrific was that the Japanese military deployed death-causing bio agents on the population of the region. Japanese history of atrocities in China was immense. Their war atrocities continue to define the Chinese bitter enmity against Japan today. Chinese school teach their children the horrific Japanese terror in their land during World War II. These children are growing up to detest Japan as evil. The imperial Japanese military facility responsible for the dark mission in China was known as Water Purification Unit 731. Unit 731 was under the command of Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii. This facility was in full operation for a very long time. Japan was working with viral strands, such as anthrax, plague, cholera, dysentery and many other deadly agents. The Japanese military was dropping canisters infested with deadly bio agents, like plagues. We have to understand that before they deployed such agents, they must have engendered it to be even deadlier when in contact with human organism. When the Soviet Red Army invaded the regions occupied by Japan in China, they gained access to documents and materials implicating Japan for BW atrocities. When the Soviet Communist Leader, Stalin, was briefed as to Japan’s use of BW in China, he ordered that Russia increase its germ weaponization exponentially. Japan was also implicated for flying low-airplane in the town of Chuhsien in Chekiang Province, South of Shanghai in China. They were spreading clouds of deadly viruses on the population. Sometimes in 1941, Japanese airplane flew over the city of Changteh in Hunan Province in China and sprayed what is now understood to be bubonic plagues on the population. There were reports of people having their lymph nodes swollen and they died from the contamination. Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 233 Japan was determined to weaponize every germ they could obtain. Japanese Army Medical Collage, Tokyo was running covert BW research in the later 1930s. The U.S. officials were concerned that the Japanese intelligence unit was sending secret agents to obtain yellow fever strand from Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research in New York (Croddy et al, 2002). In the 1990s, a renegade cult-like subversive group in Japan known as Aum Shinrikyo was in possession of BW which they were planning to use on the masses. This group was responsible for chemical attack on vulnerable innocent people inside a mass transport train in 1995. Possession of BW means, capacity as well as the intention to use especially in the hands of local or international terrorists groups should concern everyone. The United States’ Bioweapon Programs In 1969, the U.S. president, Richard Nixon, made a speech in which he vaguely promised the world that the United States was abandoning its BW program. The U.S. demonstrated her commitment to Nixon’s promise by reportedly destroying some of their BW stockpiles. However, people did not believe Nixon and the whole official narrative. Many around the world thought he was making false declaration and surreptitiously moving the offensive BW program even deeper underground. The Russian military bioweaponeer, Alibek (1999), expressed Russia’s attitude regarding Nixon’s statement. He stated that the Russian government did not believe Nixon in any shape or form. Russia believed that U.S. was being deceptive. Evidence of the United States history of BW activities can be discerned from the U.S Senate Subcommittee on Health and Human Scientific Research of the Committee on Human Recourses hearing in 1977. It proved that the United States was not just researching and developing bioweapons but was carrying out germ testing on civilian population. The hearing also revealed that disease-causing microorganisms have been tested on densely populated civilian locations between 1949 and 1969. The named Senate hearing also linked mysterious outbreak of illnesses on civilian population in those Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 234 areas of test. It has been reported that the United States Army was spraying Serratia Marcescens on the population in San Fransisco during the 1950s for tests. The United States’ Project Jefferson and Project Clear during the 1990s were alleged to be involved in that which violated international BW convention. Whistleblower and independent researcher confirm that Fort Dietrick located in the state of Florida is one of the facilities that have engaged in secret BW activities. AIDS was said to have developed in this highly secretive military facility (Henderson, 2019). Henderson further reported that AIDS was developed as a means to depopulate the world of undesirable masses. The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute on Infectious Diseases was alleged have history of BW programs that contravened international BW convention. Vigo Facility, Indiana, Pine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas, Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, all in the United States, have been identified as having engaged in germ activities for BW at one time or the other. The U.S has a Biological Defense Research Program. This program exists for a reason—preparedness for possible mass viral attacks. Mass attack by the enemy might not necessary be in time of war. Foreign enemy might use mass viral attacks to destabilize a population, slow down economy and create damaging stress on nation’s resources. The Regan administration in 1986 had a budget of 1 billion dollars for biological and chemical weapons research and development. Regan presidency was during the Cold War era. So it was easy for the U.S. government to earmark such a huge sum of money for viral and chemical bioweapon research by constantly feeding taxpayers official and media propaganda about Russia. AIDs Virus as a BW According to a whistleblower, Cooper (1991), who served as a United States Naval intelligence officer, AIDS is a biological weapon. Cooper was shot and killed in an altercation with a law enforcement officer. Many believe he was assassinated because he exposed too Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 235 much of the dark secrets of the U.S government as an insider military intelligence officer. There are no cases of AIDS virus prior to 1975. Research has linked the World Health Organization to an agent of infecting African population with AIDS. In 1977, the WHO started smallpox vaccination program in Africa. Copper linked the smallpox vaccination project of 1977 by WHO to the origin of AIDS in Africa. He stated that Africans were first injected with AIDS virus during this time. It has been estimated that 100 million Africans were injected with AIDS virus camouflaged as smallpox vaccine in 1977. According to Cooper, some population in the United States (gays) was also intentionally targeted and injected with the virus one year later in 1978 through government deceptive hepatitis B. vaccine program. The hepatitis B. vaccination in New York and with the gay population were how AIDS virus was introduced in the United States. This “vaccination’ program by National Center for Disease Control was meant to remove the undesirable from the planet, in this case, ‘useless Africans and homosexuals.’ Cooper reechoed a few times that “whatever caused AIDS was in the vaccine” (Cooper, p168, 1998). This might explain why some distrust all vaccine agenda and programs, especially the so-called free mass vaccinations coming from the WHO. This organization is diabolical when one looks underneath the presumed global humanistic public face. The global Malthusian eugenicist usually uses this organization for evil intents. Currently, President Trump is proposing that the United States will not fund this organization further. Trump has gained deep insight into the WHO. There are several other renowned scientists who reported that AIDS epidemic was man-made. Dr. Horowitz (1998) reported that AIDS virus was cultured as a BW and intentionally released on the masses. He also re-affirmed Cooper’s report that among the initial victims of AIDS virus during the late 1970s were black Africans and homosexuals. Certain population controllers see both the black masses and homosexuals as undesirables who ought to be reduced or eliminated. And yes, AIDS reduced African population drastically. Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 236 There are too much convergence of propositions to ignore all these glaring pink elephants in the room. Eugenic genocidal maniacs are bent on depopulating the world based on Malthusian devilish principles and other fanatical ecological reasons. Certain elitist agenda, such as “green revolution,” mask fanatical eugenics principles which include geo-engendering via genetic modification of every biological taxonomy on this planet. When government and world leaders talk about ‘Depopulation Policy’ as the dangerous Zionist and Malthusian eugenicist, Henry Kissinger—the former U.S Secretary of States - was fond of doing, all critical thinkers must understand the concept in its true nature, i.e., eugenic mass depopulation. Molecular biologists as well as virologists who have studied the behaviour of AIDS virus believe that there is a strong behavioural similarity between AIDS and Bovine Lymphotrophic Virus (BLV). The ‘official’ reports around the world, including deceiver scientists from the WHO, claim that AIDS came from African green monkeys. However, independent scientists have long debunked this bogus claim and have continued to report that AIDS virus was laboratory-cultured. Dr. Robert Strecker, a U.S. distinguished, practitioner of internal medicine and gastroenterologist, pathologist and pharmacologist, was another whistleblower who reported that AIDS was an artificial and unnaturally engineered pathogen. He concluded through his medical research that AIDS was intentionally released on the population for nefarious reasons. In 1969, the United States Defense Department provided funding in the sum of $10 million for researchers to create a deadly strand of virus. The strand of virus was meant to target mostly black African population. Dr. Strecker expressed that there was research going on in T-Cell-destroyer virus in the early days. According to him, the success of this research led to the creation of a virus which destroys completely the immune system of a human organism. Dr.Strecker indicated that this was possible by the crossing of the viral strand such as Bovine leukemia virus and Visna viruses. He reported that Bovine predominantly attack cows. Visna is known to attack sheep. He stated that these two strands were then cultured in the herpes to get what undeniably turned out to be AIDS. Bovine Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 237 leukemia virus does not naturally attack the human organism. That is why it has to be carefully cultured in a test tube before being released to infect people. In other words, it was weaponized. Dr. Strecker then debunked the claim that AIDS came from simian monkey. He alleged that it was the International Agency for Research on Cancer that was responsible for introducing AIDS to African population. IARC is an extension of World Health Organization and it came into existence in 1965. Dr. Leonard Horowitz was another person who reported that cancer causing AIDS-like viruses found in livestock was engineered to infect humans. In his book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola- Nature, Accident or Intentional, he discussed some procedures scientists used to manufacture AIDS from combining strands of naturally occurring viruses in livestock. Red Alert: Viral Attacks and BW Suspicions Anthrax: Anthrax is a single-celled bacterium originally known as Bacillus anthracis. This strain is found in livestock such as sheep and cattle. It forms spores which grow in lymph and blood. Anthrax has been called the 20 th century BW. Many people have forgotten that in October 2001, in the wake of the attack on the World Trade Center in the United States, there was mass panic about anthrax used on American population as BW. It was reported that this virus was deployed through contaminated envelopes sent out to people, prominent media personalities. Following this attack on the population, President George W. Bush established the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security. According to ex-Soviet bioweaponeer, Ken Alibek (Alibek et al, 1999), a hundred kilograms of anthrax spores would, (intentionally released) in optimal atmospheric condition kill up to three million people in any of the densely populated metropolitan areas of the United States.” He reported that a single SS-18 (laced with viral weapon) could wipe out the population of a city as large as New York. Anthrax as a bio-agent is considered an effective bioweaponary by Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 238 world military elites. The deadly outbreak of Anthrax in the city of Sverdlovsk, Russia, in April and May 1978, was due to a release from massive stockpile of anthrax by the military (Cole, 1990). Anthrax virulent strain is difficult to obtain. If this is the case, it would take an extreme scientific knowledge to understand how to work with it and use it on the population. Scientists report that anthrax attack mimic cold flue. Victims exhibit slight nasal congestion, joint pain, lethargy, lingering cough and more. Due to the mild nature of initial symptomatology, it is often not taken serious. Thus, the virus would continue to metastasize in the lymph, node thereby ravaging the body’s general immune system. The toxicity generated by the virus then overwhelms the internal human biomechanics completely with invasive acidic fluids and block the body’s oxygenation mechanism. Anthrax virus induces difficulties in bronchial systems, breathing issues persists. The blockage of oxygenation system leads to victim’s bluish/pale unnatural pigmentation, death is imminent. Smallpox: Russian scientists worked on modification of smallpox to serve as biological agent for weapon. By 1947, Russia had already established a large capacity smallpox BW production facility. The World Health Organization, during the 1970s, claimed that smallpox disease has been eradicated globally. For Communist Russia, this declaration created a new opportunity. Now, since the world no longer paid attention to fighting smallpox, it was a moment to genetically modify the strand for weaponization. It is estimated that the Russian stockpile of smallpox viral strands was about twenty tons as way back as the 70s. Smallpox is known to be highly contagious. Motility rate could be as high as 90 percent. One of the wicked ways they were spreading this virus was grinding it into power and dusting it over letters for BW delivery (Alibek, 1999). Ebola: Ebola River in Zaire, modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo, continues to be associated with the name of a deadly virus. It has been claimed that Ebola (disease) originated in this region of Africa. Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever-causing agent. Some believe that Ebola is an offshoot of Marburg. Marburg virus surfaced in Germany Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 239 so many years back. This begs the question, did scientists isolate Marburg in the laboratory and genetically modified it as the strand known as Ebola which was to be found in Zaire in years to come? Why Congo? Well, Congo is one of the world’s most heavily blessed natural resources country on the planet. This country has been ravaged by internationally sponsored conflicts. Congo conflict is prolonged for the resource theft by international resource thieves. Even in the midst of conflict, local impoverished guerilla factions arms-funded by international cooperate criminals continue to supply resources to these foreign corporate overlords who fly helicopters and small airplanes into the Congo jungles to steal. The outbreak of Ebola in Congo is very suspicious for one reason. Both Ebola virus and Marburg virus (found in Germany way back), when observed under electron microscope, share similar behavioural characteristics. They multiply by shooting out some monofilaments. According to Alibek (1999), Ebola and Marburg belong to the same family of viral agents named filoviruses. Filoviruses attack host cell by enveloping them with net-like strands. The appearance of Ebola in Africa is very suspicious. Could it be the military and international elite controllers tested Ebola on Africans? Could it be a way to continue to keep this resource-blessed people down forever? This needs to be investigated further. Bioterrorism and Media Mass Traumatization Dr. Horowitz (2001) describes an aspect of bioterrorism as when the elite controllers frighten the masses into accepting every official recommendation which might include vaccine experimental trials, using people as test-tube guinea pig, etc. He further cites a case example where people have been sprayed with Malathion and Anvil as a “precautionary measures” against anthrax. He states that Malathion and Anvil, in themselves, are bad agents for humans. They are immune system suppressant, carcinogenic (cancer causing agent) and lethal for human organism to absorb. It was probably a test but people were deceived that they needed to take the vaccine for protection Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 240 against anthrax. The masses are usually vulnerable and suggestible to the whims and caprices of the powers that be (PTB). Poisoning the masses using chemical and biological means for political, economic, military and medical reasons is not new. In ancient Rome, chemical agents (lead) were added into the public water systems. Lead is scientifically established to be a deadly neuro-suppressant and could lead to serious cognitive degeneration. If public water systems are contaminated with lead, it could lead to mass mental passivity, Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss and so many other neuro- degenerative problems. Were ancient Roman elite trying to create a passive population so dumbed down through water-system ‘vaccination’ and who were unable to think for themselves and put up any resistance to the oppressive systems? In fact, many scholars believe that this was the case. Many think that the fall of Rome, among many other factors, is attributed to weakened neuronal systems as a result of mass lead poisoning. The elite were also affected. We see some of the most psychopathic Roman emperors emerging— pedophiles, incest, sadistic murders, including of family member, and any evil you can name. A neuro-psychological assessment of some of these Romans shows a serious mental health issues. Could it be lead poisoning causing these cognitive degenerative behaviours? Medical tests of archeological artifacts prove clue that Romans had mass lead poisoning. In modern society, it is a known fact that public water systems are treated with fluoride. Fluoride is a neuro-cognitive depressant as well. Toothpastes are also fluorinated. The argument of demented scientists is that fluorinated water helps with healthier teeth. But one should examine this argument, since there is clear evidence of cognitive degeneration through contamination with fluoride. That is, it could be a way of creating a mass of people with sedated neuronal and nervous systems. It is not completely irrational to think that mass public water is vaccinated with fluoride for cognitive mass repression. So, one does not even need to get a vaccine, since city water is already vaccinated secretly. Scholars are also linking GMO with their high level of pesticide, herbicide to future bio-genetic degeneration of humanity. This is a new form of homo-reengineering. Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 241 Many people seem excited with eating seedless fruits and not having to do the “hard work” of spitting out seeds. But seedless seeds bio- engineered mutant variant. They are called genetically modified organism (GMO) and are unnatural because the original divine genetic blueprint has been altered. Genetically modified food and meat appear to be a subliminal BW system to alter the original humans through gradual scientific molecular mutations? This is what the company called Monsanto does, modifying all living organism on the planet away from their divine origin. Monsanto now has patents on virtually all agricultural seeds on this earth and few people understood this. Bill Gates has millions of dollar worth of financial investment stake in Monsanto. Bill Gates is also part of the ownership of Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). The term “green revolution” is a Malthusian fanatical eugenic global movement. The agenda have been pushed to Africa since the 80s and beyond. Gates is promoting terminator GMO seeds in Africa, seeds you can only plant once and when you have harvest them you can’t plant them again because they were engineered to be sterile and impotent. You can harvest good yield, yes, but they are infertile to grow for your next planting season. So what do you do? You have to go back to these agro-based Malthusian corporatocrats to buy more seed every year. Famers around the world will be subjected to such global control. And world food supply will be in the hands of few wicked overloads. These elite-owned agro-bio-tech companies already have obtained patents on many seeds. So in the future it would be illegal for you to own their patented seed. The global agro beast called Monsanto and other emerging agro-biopharmaceutical companies are in the game of geo-engendering and tera-formation of all biosphere as we know it. This agenda of subliminal human genetic mutation is designed on a long term to change the original genetic code of man through food and other bio-synthetic toxicities. The powers that be (PTB) can terrorize the population not just with actual BW but with virus-scare. Media manipulation through highly effective visual cinematographic mind control could induce mass Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 242 panic. The public’s visual and auditory apparatuses are constantly under media assault with hyped up apocalyptic-type viral invasion and induced food shortage. They heighten death statistics, parade few cases seriously night and day on the media. This is how you get the population to do whatever you prescribe. It is called Hegelian dialectics, action-reaction-solution. Various intelligences in the developed world are involved in media mind programming. The American CIA, the Russian KGB, the Israeli Mossad, the British M- 16, etc., all have agents in popular media outlets. CIA’s Operation Mockingbird is known for media psyop (psychological operation) program for mass mind control. The pretty face Anderson Cooper, while at school, interned for CIA’s Operation Mockingbird. Many popular media casters are implanted there for mass behavioural social engineering. Many people do not do research. For these groups of people, nothing is true until it is reported in popular international media outlets, like CNN, AL Jazeera, etc. This sort of people stand to be manipulated, irrespective of their educational background. It does not matter if they have three PhDs. Game of Death: How the Global Power Systems Use Mass Death to Achieve Goals Oppressive systems - social, political, economic, religious, familial, etc., - are like a self-sustaining parasitic organism in a closed system. For an oppressive system to evade its eventual cause of entropic decay, it must seek to expand its deceptions in order to continue to feed off on the people it oppresses. In so doing, the small privileged elite, in closed-system circuit, will continue their act of vampirism. Evil systems have perpetuated itself in power using every bio- chemical-military-neuro-linguistic-religoius-mind-controlling tools to keep itself in position of power and control. The Roman Emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) would not have cared about setting Rome on fire for political agenda. He would not have cared about killing hundreds of his own people to stay in power if he needed to. Similarly, Emperor Gaius Caesar of Rome ruled from 37 A.D to 41 A.D. He is popularly known as Emperor Caligula. He used his debauchery, diabolism and perverted politicalcrafts to perpetuate himself in power. It would be Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 243 irrational to think that if he had access to modern BW, he would hesitate to use it. In our modern global politico-military and economic game of chess, the world elite have used any means possible, no matter how evil, to assert their dominance, not minding the consequence such as mass death. For example, the global financial elite have financed and used murderous instincts of the Islamic extremists for their geo-political control. One would be shocked to learn that both the ISIS terrorist organization as well as the Jabat Al-Nusra have been funded and utilized by certain Western power elite for geo-political control (Henderson, 2019). Russia’s Center for Reconciliation in Syria and their intelligence gathered information implicating the Anglo-Western powers for secretly funding Jabat Al-Nusra terrorists in Syria. Henderson (2019) reveals that clandestine Western elite provided Jabat Al-Nusra with chemical weapons in Syria’s village of Serakab. This group provoked the chemical attacks which is now blamed on Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad. The goal was to remove Syria Al-Assad from power. Once the masses hear (through CIA-controlled media agents) that Al-Assad used chemical weapon, everyone will turn against him and it becomes easy for PTB to get rid of him. What is reported on the news is not what is going on underground. And few people understood this global power games. In 2018, the only few countries whose central banks were not under the control of Anglo- American financial banking elite were Syria, Iran, Cuba and North Korea. Every central bank in the world is under the absolute control of Anglo-American Western power system. And anyone who wants to change this dynamic will be ready to die. Any country that wants to change it will be ready to be destroyed in few months. This is how things are and how things work. A critical look indicates that these named countries(Syria, Cuba, Iran, North Korea) are not in the good books of the Western PTB that are ready and willing to use their military puppets’ knowledge of biological, chemical and conventional means to create new global paradigm shift and to subjugate all countries on the planet under their financial and military control. Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 244 Gaddafi of Libya tried to create a different financial arrangement independent of the clandestine Anglo-American central bank control. They got rid of him immediately. In the process of killing Gaddafi, many people died and the country was destroyed. Do you think the covert global system of PTB care about humans dying? So, those who argue against the possibility of PTB using viruses to achieve certain agenda, locally, nationally and globally, need to reconsider their knowledge of the human power games. Perhaps, it is time for them to turn off too much watching of television which is another name for mind control. Black Market and Viruses Military and civilian scientists go around the world secretly obtaining bacteria that are natural occurring in certain geographical areas. They then return to their clandestine laboratories and try to genetically engender them to specifically attack humans. The strand known as Machupio which causes Bolivian hemorrhage fever was smuggled by Russian agents from the United States for specific customization as weapon during the Cold War. Russia also may have obtained more strands of Marburg from Germany. Marburg virus is in the Ebola family. Inhaling as little as three microscopic particles of Marburg constitutes a terminal biohazard that leads to death (Alibek, 1999). A U.S. congressional inquiry during the 80s found that batches of deadly BW agents were mysteriously missing from laboratories. One would make an intelligent guess; these batches probably were exchanged in black markets. They might have ended up in the hands of big corporate pharmacological establishments, other governments, or nefarious secret societies and elite researchers, including terrorists. The congressional inquiring body cited huge loopholes and safety concerns. Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested Dr. Charles Lieber. Dr. Lieber is the chair of the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department at Harvard University. He was charged for lying to the U.S. government about details of his involvement with China. He was Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 245 made a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT), China. All businesses and institutions in China are rigidly under the Chinese communist state. Companies can be taken over at any time by the state at will if it serves states specific agenda. WUT (definitely under communist direction) was paying Dr. Lieber large sums of money for his nanoscience research. China is involved in global scientific and economic espionage. No doubt, they were utilizing Dr. Lieber to gain certain information of nanoscience, perhaps for bio engineering. The U.S government wanted to know all details. Also, two Chinese researchers, Yanqing Ye, 29 and Zaosong Zheng, 30, were also charged separately. Zaosong was accused of attempting to smuggle 21 vials of bio agents from the U.S to China. The bottom line is that China has so many highly disciplined communist agents around the world who are highly committed to their communist BW development agenda. They are everywhere in the world stealing bacteria for modification and weaponization. International underground germs market is a fact. The Dark Connection of Some Research Institutes and Pharmaceutical Companies The U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI), University of Texas, University of Chicago, University of Virginia, the University of California, The University of New York, Yale University, to name but a few, have history of receiving funding from the government for the wily research project of BW. Research institutions are supposed to be independent and not controlled by the government. The government will always control, dictate and direct any research institution that is so eager to go for the money. The saying goes, he who pays the piper dictates the tune. Thus, institutions of learning and research centers so eager to get cash and be in the good books of the government usually become puppets of nefarious politicians and government secret agenda. Some of these agenda are dark and anti-human. One character whose name appears to be linked to the above-named government- backed clandestine university BW researches is Dr. Robert C. Gallo. Dr. Gallo’s research at one time was funded by the National Institute Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 246 of Cancer. While some of this research fundings appear innocent from a quick glance, usually government intelligence units use these individuals for evil agenda. Why Gallo is important in this article is because he has been linked by many independent sources to the creation of AIDS virus as a BW. Gallo is linked with the U.S. top military medical research facility at Fort Detrick, in Florida. This is the facility where AIDS was said to have originated from. Horowitz (1998) indicates that Gallo’s research publication “detailed the steps involved in creating human-immune-system-destroying viruses….” Dr. Horowitz then concludes that Gallo spent decades of research creating and perfecting “AIDS-like” viruses. The company, Litton Research Laboratories, which is a subsidiary of Litton Industries Inc., U.S.A, has a dark history with BW development, according to Horowitz. This company is a top American military contractor and has received millions of dollars from the government to engage in BW projects. Dr. Gallo, again, has an established history with this devious company which ought to be charged with genocidal actions against Africa via viruses. The Former, U.S. Secretary of States, Henry Kissinger, as well as the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s Frank Carlucci and Joseph Califono, have also been implicated as culprits to introducing immune system destroyer in Africa as a form of BW. One of the political reasons for the introduction of AIDS in Africa was to subdue the alleged radical “communist” tendencies of the African Nationalists who “threaten” global democracy of the West. We should not forget that CIA was central in destroying Kwame Nkrumah’s vision for Africa. Africa spent many decades and resources in the fight against AIDS epidemics which led to the total destruction and collapse of the spirit of Pan African nationalism that was in emergence in the 1960s and 1970s. (Umpenhour, 2005). The image of Africa around the world became associated with disease and poverty. Thus, a continent ravaged by disease does not have the strength to push the agenda of Pan Africanism and the spirit of national rebirth. This is a classic CIA long-term operation and it was effective. The spirit of African Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 247 nationalism and liberation fizzled away. And colonization went underground. This time around, BW was one of the many tools. The International Union Against Cancer (IUAC), under the WHO, in the 60s and 70s, became so obsessed with Africa in their research focus. This organization claimed to promote campaign against cancer. However, researching about this organization may prove that its name is an inversion of truth. This company has been reported as being the actual conduit through which AIDS was brought to Africa. There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between certain big money pharmaceutical companies and some of the dark military BW programs. To understand the established power system in control, one must understand that the top secretive elite see themselves as family. They protect themselves in a network of financial, social, political and military brotherhood. In the United States, the Rockefellers own one third of the entire pharmaceutical industries which continue to push for mass vaccinations bringing billions of dollars to this economic empire (Henderson, 2019). The same people, through political lobbying, have been able to demonize homeostatic natural herbs. In some places, if you sell herbs, you go to jail. Pharmaceutical companies tell people that herbs are bad but allopathic synthetic chemicals are good. This is a typical inversion of reality by sheer use of legal force, and one of the ways people are being controlled. The bio-pharmaceutical company known as Merck, Sharp & Dohme (popularly known as Merck) has suspicious BW history of research and development as well. The company’s current website describes their vision statement thus: “To make a difference in the lives of people globally through our innovative medicines, vaccines, and animal health products. We are committed to being the premier, research-intensive biopharmaceutical company and are dedicated to providing leading innovations and solutions for today and the future.” Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 248 A UK journalist, Miles Johnston, in an interview, has linked Bill Gates’ funded Pirbright Institute, based in U.K, to current Covid-19 outbreak. Mr. Gates also has a foundation which he uses to promote mass vaccinations, especially for developing societies like Africa and India. Gates’ vaccines program is accused of spreading sterilization for population control. The U.S government has official program for population control. Two outstanding evidence that cannot be ignored. The U.S. House Bill 5090 authorized the funding for Project MK- Naomi. There is no doubt that MK-NAOMI is a Malthusian depopulation project aimed at eliminating the undesirable poor people around the world. The U.S. also created The Office of Population Affairs. A deeper research into the activities of this office implicates global depopulation agenda. There is an elite political group in the U.S. which met in 1961 and created the famous Report from Iron Mountain. This report espoused ways to eliminate certain population, especially using wars - another case of Darwinian-fittest philosophy which was even implemented by Nazi Germany. Bill Gates is known for financing the Wuhan Institute of Virology which is also linked with the Covid-19 outbreak. Gates’ seemingly global altruism might be covering up some darker Malthusian eugenic program. Malthusian population control fanatics like Paul Ehrlich, in his book, The Population Bomb, outlines global template for depopulation of the world. New viruses will continue to emerge. In the past, the U.S. as well as Soviet Russian militaries tested viruses using low-flying airplanes for spraying. When viral outbreaks occur, government will likely start pushing and forcing vaccines on the masses. Governments have engaged in extreme draconian non-pharmaceutical biodefense measures such as martial-law-type response to these viral outbreaks. That is, restriction of freedoms, creation and enforcement of self- isolation, restriction of human contacts, travel bans, etc. Forced vaccination has always taken place around the world. A careful examination of molecular compositions of some of these vaccines by independent scientists reveals bigger concerns. A character named Dr. Maurice Hilleman has a history of research with Merck, Sharp & Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 249 Dohme (cited above). He is credited for developing about 40 vaccines for this reticent company. He once confessed that vaccines injected to people were contaminated with cancer viruses as well as Leukemia viruses (Icke, 2013). We are all aware of how the rate of cancer is exploding exponentially around the world. There has also been connections made between vaccine and autism in children. However, mainstream scientists and academics, who are usually lackeys to mainstream power system, usually deny such reports. Research has also shown that some vaccines contain noxious agents such as mercury (deadly for humans), aluminum, Octoxinol 9 (sperm-killing agent), aborted fetal materials, insect and dog genes, Betapropiolactone (corrosive chemical found in disinfectant), Phenol (carbonic acid which could trigger dermatitis condition), Triton x-100 (detergent) ethylene glycol (antifreeze), etc., (Icke, 2005). Big Biotech companies are interested in big money. The masses become the experimental guinea pig and the sheep to fleece. Bacteriological Warfare Prohibitions Geneva Protocols of 1925. The protocol prohibits the use of BWs. The U.S. and Soviet Russia were signatories. But the U.S. did not ratify the Geneva Protocol until years later in 1975. I would make a rational assumption here. The U.S. congress utilized delay tactics in ratifying this prohibition. There is substantial evidence that the U.S was developing and stockpiling BW until the 70s, in view of The Cold War. By the time congress completed ratification, they had amassed as much BW as they needed. Geneva Protocol on a face value prohibits the use of bacteriological agents in warfare. However, the weakness and hypocrisy of this prohibition is clean; it did not prohibit possession. What a façade! Biological Weapon’s Convention of 1972. This convention prohibits the development, production and stockpiling of BW, except for prophylactic and military defense purposes. By 1996, close to 140 countries were signatories. One could already notice the hypocrisy and deception of this convention. Obviously, it is all talk-and-no-do. It Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 250 was meant to pacify the masses who were starting to be worried about the apocalyptic nature of biochemical weapons. In fact, the convention clearly gave the military and as well as the pharmacological companies absolute freehand. Where there is profit, there is greed; where there is greed, evil is possible. Corporate conglomerates might decide to develop strands of viruses to experiment, in the name of research, on the people, since the Biological Weapon’s Convention did not expressly forbid it. The military could claim defense purposes as well and continue to develop deadly viruses capable of depopulating any given society drastically. The Moral Ambivalence of Bioweapon (BW) Skeptics The great moral conundrum in germ research involves the “dual-use- dilemmas.” The ethical ambivalence is between biodefense and bio- attack. Biodefense is the same as biosecurity. Biosecurity implies engaging in germ sciences as a means of protecting the population against disease outbreaks. Bio-defense also argues that it is ethical, especially for governments, to engage in germs research programs as “acts to defend a state’s population against future biological attack” (Enemark, 2017). Proponents of this stand indicate that a clear scientific understanding of pathogenic organisms provides enormous protective benefits. That is, it saves lives. Critics, on the other hand, point out inherent risks and weaknesses of this argument. They contend that there is the possibility of using such knowledge for evil intention, such as the creation, proliferation and use of BW against a population, especially on an international scale. Both arguments are valid. However, my focus in this article is the fact that BW have been proliferated and used around the world at different times and continues to be used against vulnerable populations. Laboratory insiders in biosecurity programs have been reported as breaching all ethical codes, smuggling and marketing deadly strands in the black markets. There are those who think that BW concerns or alarms are a product of “conspiracy theory.” For instance, a high ranking U.S. Army Medical Corps, Major Leon A. Fox, during the early 1930s, published Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 251 an article in the Army Surgeon journal in which he set out to debunk the possibility of BW use. His stand was that BW concerns came from conspiratorial “scare-heads” and “pseudo-scientists” who were seeking ephemeral mass media attentions. He unequivocally stated that deploying, successfully, death-causing bio agents was a practical impossibility. His argument was that noxious bacteriological organism could not linger on open surface for long due to exposure to heat and other harsh factors. Thus, they could not be successful as a mass weapon. Obviously, this argument defies common sense. It undermines the ability of genetic engineering in virological sciences to modify strands and make them mutable for evolutionary adaptations. One wonders if this sort of official denial was a covert psychological operation for mass distraction. Despite official lies, it soon became crystal clear that BWs were not only possible as a means of mass attack but were, actually, being used especially during World War II. The Cold War efforts no doubt created lots of anti- human scientists in the industrialized high-tech “first world” societies. These military-controlled scientists have been implicated in the nefarious research and development in virological sciences. The purpose of the development is for mass death, population control as well as behaviour modifications. This is not hard to conclude for those who do research BW. Some people do not want to imagine or accept that viruses can be cultured in laboratories to be used as BW. This sort of lackadaisical attitude vindicates the famous existentialist observation of Albert Camus that man is a creature who spends his whole life trying to convince himself that his existence is not full of absurdities. As far- fetched as this idea of BW research and deployment may sound, there are some evidences to substantiate such claims. During the 19th century, there were indications of underground proliferation of BW research laboratories and projects aiming assiduously to develop strands of viruses that could destroy the human immune system and terminate the entire human organism. Governments funded some of these evil researches. While these clandestine BW research activities were being carried out, there were whistleblowers who continued, like Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 252 foresighted prophets, to sound warning alarms to humanity about accidental and intentional releases of these lethal viruses on the masses. When such alarms were raised, “official” medical reports from government representatives continued, as they still do, to hide these atrocities with their skillful scientific sophistry aimed at neutralizing and subverting all clues to malevolent scientific programs. Mainstream elite medical authorities, as well as so called academia, often serve as lackeys to the powers that be (PTD). In cases of viral onslaught on the masses, these officials usually invent shambolic cock-and-bull ‘scientific’ explanations as to the origin of some deadly viruses that have ravaged humanity at different times. For instance, African monkeys have been accused of so many responsibilities for viruses. This is laughable, especially knowing that the despicable World Health Organization and their mind-controlled scientists often peddle these lies that are even found in textbooks. If man is capable of evil at all, it would be naïve and irresponsible to exempt him from the capacity to develop and deploy bioweapon (BW). Man’s scientific advancement in biotechnology offers him a rapid paradigmatic thrust into a new era of BW possibilities. Guillemin (1999) lamented thus: “should the deliberate infliction of disease and other hostile application of biotechnology come into widespread use, the nature of war and the future course of civilization itself could be disastrously altered.” Guillemin was speaking hypothetically. Although he was making a valid point, he appeared to be ignoring the real world in his probability statement. The fact is that military elite are, in fact, engaged in clandestine operations of research, development and testing of BW on the people. Declassified documents provide some evidence that between 1949 and 1970, virological warfare program was in constant progress by the U.S. government. Not only that these germ weaponization was going on, they were being tested on the people. Leonard (1988) explained that the U.S. military has a history of testing new BW on the U.S. population. My point is this: If they can test it on their own citizen, what makes one believe they cannot test it on other populations around the world with weak government and defense systems? Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 253 Leonard further cited some evidence of the U.S. Navy spraying the people with microbial agents as “testing.” This kind of dark bio- experimentation is not new as far as the United States government is concerned. The U.S. has a long dark history of medical experimentation on vulnerable population. There was the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment where the United States government researchers carried out atrocious Nazi-style controlled experimentation on black people from 1932 until about 1972. Government’s Public Health Services intentionally left these “Negros” untreated for syphilis, while deceptively providing them with placebo medical cares. At that time, ordinary penicillin could have cured those blacks inflicted with syphilis. But the government wanted to study the behaviour of syphilis on infected people and in this case vulnerable and poor black sharecroppers. It is also a well-documented history that between 1837 and 1838, the imperial European expansionists and colonialists in the Americas were intentionally giving the native people they met in the land blankets laced with chickenpox as a form of BW to exterminate the people. Today, we live in a time of bio-nano-genetic sciences. These highly advanced sciences have made possible the engineering of molecular/atomic destructive machines, both biological and synthetic. Sometime ago, I read Michael Crichto’s book Prey. Even though written in a sci-fi style, he depicted a vision of the future that is already possible, the futuristic technology which many whistleblower reports military elite already possess, that is, man-made nano particles (nano dusts) that are self-aware and self-preserving. These sentient molecular agents got released from secret military laboratory and ended up posing the greatest death threat man has ever known. The point is that molecular engineering is now possible and viral agents are being engineered every day in underground laboratories around the world. Unfortunately, part of these futuristic sciences deals with development of invisible bio-synthetic soldiers that could attack and kill people. Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 254 In their book, The Soviet Biological Weapons Program: A History, Milton Leitenberg and his colleagues observe that the reason the concept of BW awakens such dismissive cynicism in those who seek to “debunk” the fact is because “… the idea that someone can and is willing to apply science and medicine in order to manipulate and grow microorganism for the purpose of deliberately brining about illness and death contravenes so much of our societies ethnics that is beyond the pale of civilized behavior” (Leitenberg et al, 2012). Echoing the same line of thinking, Leonard (1988) wrote that one of the reasons BW is seen as abhorrent is because they infringe on the essential moral values among civilized people and “contradicts human sensibility.” This might be why those who deny the possibility of BW deployment and use tend to dangle between ethical ambivalences. One the one hand, they count on the good nature of man, and on the other hand, they understood man’s possibility to initiate endless plethora of evil on his own kind. In a perfect world, man is supposed to be good and do the right thing of fighting bad germs and saving lives, and not use germs to cause death. Unfortunately, this is an imperfect world and man is in a “fallen state.” Cognitively, the relationship between ‘ought to’ and what actually obtains is like the metaphysical relationship between appearance and reality. Those who take reality as given and feed on what they are being told by the government and their official media outlets will fall into abysmal epistemological error. The threat of biological warfare is to be taken serious. I would conjecture, at least, that any coherent mind would do so. This planetary biosphere is in danger if we ignore the truth about man’s virological weapons capacities. The degenerate instincts of man to deploy such cannot be undermined. Critics who deny the possibility of modern man weaponzing viruses for mass death often cite plethora of epidemics throughout history. Deniers seem to reassure themselves of their stance through constant re-echoing of the noisy notion that disease has always been here with us and had always plagued mankind. However, the difference between our time and primitive times is molecular atomic sciences and genetic engineering. These Covert Military Operations, Bioengineering And The Weaponization Of Viruses: An Igwuebuike Discourse Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 255 sciences have enabled man to understand the invisible universe around of germs and viruses. Do we actually believe that if ‘mad scientists’ could build nuclear weapons that could end life on earth that they cannot develop and use viral strands to kill? This is a monologue that calls for reflection. Conclusion My intention in this article has been to point out that anti-human scientific proclivities abound and man has, in fact, intentionally engineered viruses in laboratory as BW. The military industrial complexes around the world have been implicated multiple times in BW research and development projects. Whistleblowers who sound alarms on these covert scientific atrocities often face hard times in the hands of the almighty draconian government officials as well as from mainstream established intellectuals. Mass media psychological operations are often a good tool used to centralize information by the powers that be (PTB). Once information system is centralized and forced into the psyche of the general population, independent researchers and counter-voices are seen and categorized as crazy conspiracy theorists. The nefarious projects of viral engineering have only one goal - creation of mass death-agents. Mad scientists splice, mutate, modify and strengthen various harmful bio-synthetic microbial strands found in nature to be used as invisible super soldiers, BWs. Any reasonable person ought to ask, ‘how come people, corporations and governments owe patents to viruses?’ Doesn’t this imply that people created or modified these pathogenic plagues; hence, they can lay claim to ownership? I have no doubt that there are people whose sole intentions are to subjugate all categories of taxonomy under their control as a means of power and wealth. The history of military techno-scientific offensive/defensive research and development power is incomplete without a reflection on viral BW. Corporate pharmaco-epidemiological profit drives have also been implicated for many strands of viruses that attack humans. Nazi-style anti-human research and development is in progress in our world today and we must not sleep to that fact! If we do, our entire Hilary Ugwu, MSW Igwebuike Philosophy And Complementary Relations 256 planetary biosphere will be subjugated under taxonomic apocalypse as well as consent viral terrorizations. There are ‘mad scientist’, surrogated by powerful military elite and governments who are immoral. There are large pharmaco-conglomerates backed by big money as well as arcane political force who would not hesitate to use BW on the population to achieve their agenda. Scientific and military Machiavellianism is a reality. Machiavelli’s Prince is a conscienceless immoral entity. The mad scientist like Machavelli’s Prince has perfected a system of scientific authoritarianism. The mad scientist idolizes himself as “homo deus,” the god man. This nomenclatural title is an inversion of his true nature. His anti-human-anti-nature consciousness best fits with the title ‘homo diablos,’ the human devil. The ‘mad scientist’ has corrupted true science. He coerces humanity to bow to his religion of scientism. He is an empirical fanatic. For him, empiricism is the only conduit wherein reality is studied, understood and improved. His acclaimed empirical objectivity hides a narrow materialistic relativism. He presents his scientism as a base for a new universal paradigm. Since his scientism is seen through the relativistic lens of empirical materialism, he is an atheist. His appetite for terror, death and destruction is insatiable.
