This program explores an interrogatory consideration, borne out of critical evaluation of epidemiological information about Covid-19 in New York City.
The recent disclosure that random testing of residents of New York City indicated that roughly one fifth of that municipality’s residents may have had Covid-19 and recovered raises serious epidemiological implications. If the report is remotely accurate, it is epidemiologically absurd to suppose the virus originated in China.
(The 1984 interview with Dr. Wilbert Jordan about the anomalous epidemiological information about the spread of AIDS, reprised in FTR #1115, should be reviewed for depth and background to this discussion.)
In addition, we speculated in FTR #1127 that New York City MAY have been deliberately vectored with the virus. The report cited above makes little sense if that were not the case.
In this discussion, we collate a number of items from past programs, considering the possibility that some of the elements we discuss MIGHT have figured in a hypothetical vectoring of New York City:
1.–We note in that regard that New York City was deliberately targeted for testing of biological warfare agents in the mid-1960’s. ” . . . . In the summer of 1965, Special Operations men walked into three New York City subway stations and tossed lightbulbs filled with Bacillus subtilis, a benign bacteria, onto the tracks. The subway trains pushed the germs through the entire system and theoretically killed over a million passengers. . . .”
2.–For consideration in this context is the documented record of the use of Nazis, fascists and white supremacists in the American biological warfare development over the decades–not all of it in the aftermath of World War II and Project Paperclip.
3.–We review information about Dr. Larry Ford, an acolyte of “The Turner Diaries,” who had worked for the CIA assisting the apartheid regime’s Project Coast biological warfare program. Ford was investigated for possible involvement with the milieu behind the anthrax attacks after 9/11. ” . . . . he had held extreme racist views and had once told a girlfriend that to understand him, she should read ‘The Turner Diaries,’ the anti-Semitic and white supremacist novel, popular among far-right groups, that prosecutors say inspired the Oklahoma City bombing . . . .”
4.–Ford operated in conjunction with Project Coast under the auspices of CIA: ” . . . . But ten minutes later the liaison called again and said there was ‘high confidence’ that Ford had biological- and chemical-weapons knowledge and did, in fact, have the capability to coat the knife with a deadly toxin. Shortly after that a third call came in: Ford did work for the CIA, the chastened FBI official told the room full of cops. . . .”
5.– An Air Force Academy report on Project Coast discussed an international right-wing network that grew out of the South African bio-weapons program: ” . . . . According to a recent U.S. Air Force Academy report on South Africa’s biological warfare program, Ford was part of a global network of scientists that Basson assembled to assist Project Coast. Whether that meant creating — or receiving and storing — toxins produced by the program is a matter of conjecture, the report suggests, as South African officials have been unable to account for all of the dangerous material produced over the years. The Air Force report quotes testimony from a Swiss intelligence agent [Juergen Jacomet?] who laundered money for Basson and who describes a worldwide conspiracy involving unnamed Americans. ‘The death of Dr. Ford and revelations of his South African involvement,’ the report states, ‘[raises] the possibility of a right-wing international network, [still] united by a vision of South Africa once again ruled by whites.’ . . . .”
6.–Steven Hatfill–another longtime, intelligence-connected biological warfare expert–has worked with white supremacists in both the former Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa. He, too, was investigated in connection with the anthrax attacks.
7.–About Hatfill’s CV: ” . . . . Here is a fellow [Hatfill] with a fake Ph.D. who posed for The Washington Times as a bioterrorist with a homemade plague disseminator, and who boasted as recently as last year of having served with the apartheid government’s notorious Selous Scouts during the Rhodesian anthrax epidemic. I have three different editions of his curriculum vitae . . . How did such a rascal come to be instructing the C.I.A., F.B.I., Defense Intelligence Agency, army, navy, Marines, U.S. marshals, and State Department on such matters as the handling of deadly pathogens and of bioterror incidents ? . . .”
8.–About the investigation into Hatfill in connection with the 2001 anthrax attacks and his association with the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB): ” . . . . The FBI’s investigation [of the anthrax attacks] this time focused on Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, who once worked as a research scientist at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Hatfill had spent considerable time in South Africa, and was affiliated with the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB). However, after a thorough investigation, the FBI eventually cleared Hatfill of any connection to the anthrax attacks. . . .”
9.–Of significant interest in that regard is Hatfill’s close professional relationship with fellow biological warfare expert Bill Patrick, who directed the above experiment/attack on the New York City subway: “. . . . Then there’s the 1965 simulated attack on the New York City subway. On June 8 of that year, under Bill Patrick’s direction, the subway was targeted with the anthrax simulant B.g. Lightbulbs, each containing 87 trillion spores, were dropped onto the tracks. Trains then sucked the clouds of live bacteria into the subway system. C.I.A. and military scientists, bearing fake ID’s, were on location to count the spores. More than a million riders were exposed to B.g. that day; many inhaled more than a million spores per minute. Patrick, when telling this story, still chuckles about how ‘we clobbered the Lexington line with B.g.’. . . .”
10.–Despite the age difference, Patrick and Hatfill became close: ” . . . . The most curious piece of fieldwork noted on Steven Hatfill’s most recent C.V. is that of ‘open air testing and vulnerability trials.’ In a 2001 paper, ‘Biological Warfare Scenarios,’ Bill Patrick called the 1965 simulated attack on the New York subway ‘one of the most important vulnerability studies’ of the 70 he conducted. . . . By 1998, Hatfill was Patrick’s sidekick in what one colleague has described as a ‘Batman and Robin’ team. But it is from USAMRIID that Hatfill claims to have acquired his working knowledge of army-sponsored ‘vulnerability’ trials. . . .”
11.–Hatfill has networked with Steve Bannon, appearing on his podcast. (Hatfill threw cold water on the suggestion that Covid-19 may have been manufactured in a laboratory. A highly intelligent, veteran covert operator, Hatfill would have certainly done this, IF he had knowledge of, or involvement with, elements that had authored such an event. Given Hatfill’s affiliation with groups like the Rhodesian Selous Scouts and White Afrikaner Resistance, we wonder if Hatfill or a like-minded individual may have provided information for and/or impetus to, a vectoring of New York City with a relatively mild Covid-19 strain? Might Hatfill’s work on “four levels of biological attack” been an inspirational or operational basis for a “level four” attack?: ” . . . . The fourth level consists of a self-sustaining, unstoppable epidemic. . . .”
12.–In FTR #324, we noted that the Broederbond organization had apparently perpetuated itself in an altogether lethal form as “Die Organisasie” or “Third Force.” Might such a group have links to Steve Bannon and/or Trump’s milieu? Might they have been connected to a hypothetical vectoring of New York City? There are Americans involved with “Die Organisasie.” We wonder if this might be linked to the organization contained in the Air Force Academy report mentioned in the article about Larry Ford?
13.–About “Die Organisasie”: “. . . . [Nico] Palm spoke enigmatically of ‘Die Organisasie,’ a pulp fiction nom de guerre (which he calls, even more melodramatically, the ‘Spider Network’). It is a group of white South Africans who wait patiently for he demise of the ANC government and a return to the old days. They are not the mad pseudo-Nazis of the far right, but something far more organized, well financed, and patient. Other people know them as ‘The Third Force.’ We are to hear of them time and again from ex-soldiers like Nico Palm all the way up to South Africa’s deputy defense minister, Ronnie Kasrils. Significantly, files have also been opened by MI5 in potentially significant union of like-minded South African right-wingers. All of them are ex-pats now living in the United Kingdom, who may support the destabilization of any black South African government. . . .”
14.–About Americans in Die Organisasie: “. . . . [former Swiss intelligence agent Juergen] Jacomet, now nervous, is pressed to expand a little. ‘There is a group of people here in London, he says. ‘One could call them the friends of South Africa. They have it in mind to see a strong white South Africa again. There are American connections too. . . .”
15.–More about the American links to Die Organisasie” ” . . . . Jacomet mentions some well-known South African names—men previously associated with Third Force activities. He also refers to an American name known to Britain’s MI5 for his alleged involvement with Basson in money laundering, sanctions busting, and biological agents procurement. [Emphasis added.] Once again, Die Organisasie is mentioned in respectful tones, and, once again, the details remain scant and elusive. Jacomet remains silent . . . .”
16.–When informed by the British about Project Coast (the apartheid BW program) and Die Organisasie (or ‘Third Force’), Mandela feared that the weapons would fall into the hands of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) with which Hatfill is connected: ” . . . . In the end it was British representatives who decided to approach President Mandela, with a minimum of fanfare, to advise him that he was inheriting an ugly biological assassination program from the previous administrations. Mandela’s first reaction was: ‘Oh my God!’ He was initially terrified that the South African ‘Third Force’ elements, including such organizations as Eugene Terre Blanche’s ultra right-wing and fanatical AWB, might lay their hands on it. . . .”
17.–Ebola was apparently the focal point of some of Larry Ford’s work: ” . . . . Ford told the Rileys and others his subsequent work for the military and the CIA included research on biological and chemical weapons, consulting on Iraqi capabilities during the Gulf War, and sneaking into epidemic hot zones in Africa to gather samples of such killer organisms as the Ebola and Marburg viruses. . . .”
18.–Dr. Stamps–Zimbabwe’s Health Minister–had some pointed observations about outbreaks of Ebola during that nation’s war of independence and his belief that they resulted from Project Coast. Note that Hatfill was involved with the Rhodesian Selous Scouts: “ . . . . ‘I have my suspicions about Ebola too. [Dr. Stamps is quoted–the Health Minister of Zimbabwe] It developed along the line of the Zambezi River, and I suspect that this may have been an experiment to see if a new virus could be established to infect people. We looked on the serological evidence on strange cases, including a fifteen-year-old child which occurred in 1980. Nothing really made epidemiological sense. Do I have evidence? Only circumstantial. In fact, the Rhodesian security forces were more expert than the Nazis at covering up evidence.’ . . .”
19.–Corroborating some of Dr. Stamps’ suspicions concerning Ebola, “Gert” (a pseudonym for a veteran of Project Coast) discussed the use of that virus and the related Marburg virus in Project Coast. “Gert” also implies that US scientists from Ft. Detrick (Dr. Ford? Steven Hatfill) were involved with a Zairian outbreak. “ . . . . ‘Look, I know what one of the very, very, very secret specialized units had. We had to test it. And that was viral capsules that were specifically related to Congo fever and the hemorrhagic fevers.’ Ebola? ‘Yes.’ So Gert is beginning to corroborate Dr. Stamp’s suspicions in Harare that Ebola and Marburg, although indigenous, were also artificially seeded into Southern Africa. Basson, says Gert, was involved in all this. (when the last terrible Ebola outbreak occurred in Kikwit, Zaire, as late as 1995, Gert claims that Basson was there, unofficially. Twenty years earlier, when the village of Yambuku in northern Zaire witnessed one of the first major Ebola outbreaks, two South African scientists were there, allegedly working hand in glove with US military personnel from Fort Detrick.) . . . . ”
20.–In numerous programs and posts, we have covered the Gilead Sciences drug remdesivir, now approved for treating Covid-19, despite lukewarm information from trials. Remdesivir is made by Gilead Sciences, a major holding of Robert Mercer’s Renaissance Technologies. (Mercer, of course, was Steve Bannon’s financial angel.) Note that Remdesivir was initially developed to fight Ebola, and “fizzled.” Again, might there be a link to Project Coast, the late Dr. Larry Ford, Steven Hatfill, Ft. Detrick, “Die Organisasie” or some combination thereof?
21.–We also note that China has been making significant inroads into Africa, a development that has been a major focal point of activity by Mike Pompeo’s State Department. It is worth remembering, in this context, that such a development MIGHT make China a focal point of activity by Die Organisasie, perhaps as part of a covert operation overseen by Bannon. Again, might there be a link to Project Coast, the late Dr. Larry Ford, Steven Hatfill, Ft. Detrick, “Die Organisasie” or some combination thereof?
In FTR #1127, we noted that a random testing of New York City residents indicated that up to a fifth of the city’s residents may have been infected with one of the milder strains of Covid019. That suggests very strongly that the city was vectored–it is epidemiologically absurd to assume that the virus came from China. In that same program, we noted that New York had been the site of a biological warfare test in 1965: ” . . . . In the summer of 1965, Special Operations men walked into three New York City subway stations and tossed lightbulbs filled with Bacillus subtilis, a benign bacteria, onto the tracks. The subway trains pushed the germs through the entire system and theoretically killed over a million passengers. . . .” In FTR #317, we set forth the late Dr. Larry Ford’s work for the CIA assisting the South African apartheid regime’s Project Coast biological warfare program. Ford: was a devotee of “The Turner Diaries; secured Ebola and Marburg viruses for Project Coast; may have been linked to a global network of white supremacists that grew out of Project Coast; was posthumously investigated in connection with the anthrax attacks of 2001. In FTR #642, we highlighted biological warfare expert Steven Hatfill’s association with the white nationalist regimes of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and apartheid South Africa, including White Afrikaner Resistance (AWB). Hatfill was investigated in connection with the 2001 anthrax attacks as well, and subsequently exhonerated. Hatfill was very close to Bill Patrick, who oversaw the 1965 biological warfare experiment which infected the New York City Subway system with millions of simulated pathogenic bacteria. We wonder if Hatfill may have (perhaps indirectly) provided impetus to a vectoring of New York City with a mild strain of Covid-19? We also note that Hatfill has networked with Steve Bannon, who is at the epicenter of the anti-China effort. In FTR #324, we examined Project Coast in detail. That examination included the operation’s use of Ebola (allegedly in tandem with personnel from Ft. Detrick) and very credible accounts of a powerful, altogether deadly network of post-apartheid operatives–“Die Organisasie”– linked to Project Coast and aspiring to a return to white domination of Southern Africa. With China making inroads into Africa, we wonder if that altogether lethal network MAY have been enlisted in the anti-China effort? We also wonder if some of the Project Coast research MAY have had bearing on the selction of remdesivir (developed–unsuccessfully–to fight Ebola), produced by Gilead Sciences,a major investment of Robert Mercer’s Renaissance Technologies?
In the aftermath of Nelson Mandela’s passing, it is important to remember the true nature of the forces he opposed and the fact that they did NOT disappear with the demise of Apartheid. In FTR #225, among other programs, we examined the Nazi heritage of the Broederbond, the primary power center of the Apartheid government of South Africa. In Miscellaneous Archive Show M8, we noted the profound German role in aiding the South African effort to develop the atomic bomb. An incisive post by German-Foreign-Policy.com (which feeds along the bottom of the front page) supplements the information in these programs.
Glenn Greenwald’s no defender of human rights. He defended the rights of Nazi murderers and terrorists, doing so pro-bono. Using the rubric of “protected free speech,” he ran interference for the leaderless resistance strategy, defending the National Alliance, whose books are intended as instructional manuals for terrorists and assassins. He violated legal ethics while defending Nazi leader Matthew Hale. He defended Hale when he was accused of soliciting the murder of Judge Joan Lefkow (Hale was convicted.)
In our last post, we highlighted Greenwald’s five-year long representation of Matthew Hale, head of the World Church of the Creator. In addition to Hale, Greenwald also represented a consortium of neo-Nazi/White Supremacist groups, including the National Alliance. Accused of inciting followers to racist violence, The National Alliance was defended by Greenwald in order to preserve their right to free speech. National Alliance books are specifically crafted to incite murder and terrorism. National Alliance head William Luther Pierce networked with Nazis in Latin America, as did the terrorist group The Order, which his work inspired. UPDATED ON 7/20/2013, 7/29/2013.
