the intelligence and military intelligence communities knew about a likely pandemic in the United States
as early as last November, and potentially even before then. Given this foreknowledge and the numerous simulations.... it is worth entertaining the possibility that a crisis was
allowed to unfold.
Following the creation of DARPA’s BTO in 2014, this particular program gave rise to the “
In Vivo Nanoplatforms (IVN)” program. .... DARPA’s IVN program
has since helped to finance and produce “soft, flexible hydrogels that are injected just beneath the skin to perform [health] monitoring and that sync to a smartphone app to give the use immediate health insights,” a product currently marketed and created by the DARPA-funded and National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded company Profusa. ...Profusa is
also backed by Google**, which is
intimately involved in these new mass surveillance
“contact tracing” initiatives, and counts former Senate majority leader William Frist among its board members. They are
also partnered with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)The company also has
considerable overlap with the diagnostic company Cepheid, which
recently won FDA approval for its rapid coronavirus test...
Another long-standing DARPA program, now overseen by BTO, is known as “
Living Foundries.” ...“Living Foundries” program supports involves the creation of “
artificial life” including the creation of artificial genetic material, including artificial chromosomes, the creation of “entirely new organisms,” and using artificial genetic material to “add new capacities” to human beings (i.e. genetically modifying humans through the insertion of synthetically-created genetic material).
..DARPA also has a project called “
Advanced Tools for Mammalian Genome Engineering,” which – despite having “mammalian” in the name – is focused specifically on improving “the utility of Human Artificial Chromosomes (HACs),” which DARPA describes as a “fundamental tool in the development of
advanced therapeutics, vaccines, and cellular diagnostics.”
Work began in 2011 on developing “brain implants” for use in human soldiers, officially with the goal of treating neurological damage in veterans, and such implants have been tested on human volunteers in DARPA-funded experiments
since at least 2015.
one of the goals of DARPA’s
Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program involves using “noninvasive or minimally invasive brain-computer interfaces” to “
read and write” directly onto the brain. According to
one recent report on DARPA’s N3 program, one example of “minimally invasive” technologies would involve:
“an injection of a virus carrying light-sensitive sensors, or other chemical, biotech, or self-assembled nanobots that can reach individual neurons and control their activity independently without damaging sensitive tissue. The proposed use for these technologies isn’t yet well-specified, but as animal experiments have shown, controlling the activity of single neurons at multiple points is sufficient to program artificial memories of fear, desire, and experiences directly into the brain.”...
