Okay, so there. And the CCP has made made hay out of the fact that the United States didn't sign the more recent attempted biowarfare treaty. But the truth is that neither did anybody else, including the ccp. It was basically dropped. And so it's defaulted back to the original agreement, which is like cheesecloth. And notably, you probably were coached in this in your training. The existing agreement does not prohibit the development and deployment of agents which are non lethal. So these are referred to in DoD spaces, incapacitating agents. And one of those that is on the. At, you know, at the forefront of potentially deployment as an incapacitating agent, because it has various characteristics, are the equine encephalitis viruses that have been weaponized in various ways because they create. You basically get an encephalitis, you get a. What that translates to is you get a wicked bad headache. Wicked bad. And it. And it's infectious through your nose, so you can breathe it in and it potentially can be weaponized. And so that's why there's so much emphasis on trying to develop vaccines against the encephalitis viruses and those would meet criteria as an incapacitating agent rather than as a formal biowarfare lethal agent. All of this to understand this bizarre space and an adjacency is also the kind of the super soldier augmented world of individuals, war fighters augmented genetically and through implantable devices which leads straight into the transhumanism world. And if you think that Elon Musk's neural link is all about treating soldiers that and others that have had traumatic injuries, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. We've written about this in our substack now going back three or four years and documented for people, provided links to various NATO publications that all basically justify R and D in this kind of biodefense, biowarfare, transhumanism, super soldier space. Based on the logic that is virtually identical to the logic that was deployed with thermonuclear warfare, which is mutually assured destruction. Them guys are doing it and if we don't do it we're going to get left behind and then we're going to be facing Chinese super soldiers that are going to march across the world and we have no defense. Is kind of the, the short version of that story. And underneath that it's important to recognize and I've heard this from multiple sources, credible sources, CIA sources, ditra sources that the logic of the, let's call it investment in the Wuhan Institute of Virology was based on the logic that had been successfully prosecuted in trying to neutralize the risk of former Soviet Union thermonuclear warfare experts that were no longer employed in a collapsing Soviet Union economy and therefore were basically available as hired guns. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there was also the loose nukes that were available on the free market that I don't know how many movies have been built around that you know, Tom Cruise would probably be half as wealthy as he is if it wasn't for that storyline. So but it's, it was all real and, and Dittra did some important work in threat reduction and that threat reduction logic of you're going to have to pay some of these scientists to keep them from doing bad stuff and working for the bad guys if, and, and so it's justified to subsidize them that the WIV investment was partially about that. But the thing is that the CCP is not a collapsed Soviet Union free for all environment. CCP is a very centralized and very astute and has very clear, very long term objectives. And so they basically said yeah, great you know, we'll, we'll. The other part of the logic was that some mole somewhere revealed to the CCP and, and the People's Liberation army the names of CIA personal assets throughout Communist China. And they pretty much all got killed and their families tortured and many of them got killed, too. So suddenly the CIA was blind in terms of human intelligence in, at a time. And, you know, I use CIA metaphorically for the entire Defense intelligence and, and the entire intelligence complex. And so that was the other part of the justification is kind of better to get some intelligence, even if we're having to functionally pay for it by subsidizing wib, than to have none, than to have no intelligence about what the CCP and the PLA are doing in terms of building bioweapons and, and bioweapon countermeasures. Because that's, that's the key thing is you can't deploy a bioweapon unless you've got the countermeasure. You kind of got to build both at the same time. So that's, that's what went down there in. And it's part of this whole, you know, I put out the, my essays really early on about the Ukraine bio labs and I reached back to the old Mad magazine, Spy versus Spy, because it's, it remains the perfect metaphor. And you know, and I, and I had this one clip of Spy versus Spy and they both have, they're both about to push down the trigger on, on a, on us, some sticks of dynamite. They're going to blow up the other one. They're both sitting there getting ready to blow up each other. That's pretty much captures the logic of mutually assured destruction. And so all of this is deemed essential because the logic that they're doing and everybody's doing it, and so we have to do it too. And I don't know how you break the loop on this. That's, that's a, that's a President Trump level question. Beyond, beyond our portfolio, you and me, but that's, that's what's going on. And is, is it, is this sustainable in the. So not to, not to engage in my own fair porn, but please audience, understand that modern biotechnology is at a level right now. I'll say it this way. During the 60s, up until Nixon's determination that we were going to stop doing this, a case can be made that modern virology, molecular biology and microbiology exist because of the massive spending that occurred in advancing the biowarfare agenda. The heads of the American society for microbiology for years were the leaders in the kind of USAMRID biowarfare world. That technology platform that has given us the RNA and gene therapy and PCR and all that comes out of this massive investment. And it, it is dark. It, as Bobby talks about in this other book, Wuhan Lablink, it followed the real Anthony Fauci. It has roots in both German and in particular Japanese biowarfare programs. And the Japanese biowarfare program was particularly nasty.
