BIOWAR BOMBSHELL! U.S. Department of Defense issued a contract for \u2018COVID-19 Research\u2019 in Ukraine 3 months before Covid was known to even exist<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

By The Expos\u00e9 <\/p>\n

The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for \u2018COVID-19 Research\u2019, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The shocking findings however, do not end there. The contract awarded in November 2019<\/strong> for \u2018COVID-19 Research\u2019 was not only instructed to take place in Ukraine, it was in fact part of a much larger contract for a \u2018Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps explaining why Labyrinth Global Health has been collaborating with Peter Daszak\u2019s EcoHealth Alliance, and Ernest Wolfe\u2019s Metabiota since its formation in 2017. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Government of the United States has a website called \u2018USA Spending<\/a>\u2018, an official open data source of federal spending information. According to the site as of 12th April 2021 the US Government has spent a mind-blowing $3.63 trillion \u201cin response to COVID-19\u201d. But that\u2019s not the only information on Covid that can be found within the site.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Hidden within the \u2018Award Search\u2019 are details on a contract awarded by the Department of Defense to a company named \u2018Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp<\/a>\u2018, which is allegedly \u201ca global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company specialising in infrastructure development\u201d.<\/p>\n

The contact was awarded on September 20th, 2012 and is described as \u201cProfessional, Scientific, and Technical Services\u201d. Obviously this is very vague and most likely of little interest to anyone who happens to stumble across it. But there is something contained deep within the details that should be of interest to anyone and everyone.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Award History\u2019 for the contract contains a tab for \u2018Sub-Awards\u2019 detailing the recipients, action date, amount, and very brief description for 115 Sub-Award transactions. Most of the Sub-Awards are extremely mundane for things such as \u201claboratory equipment for Kyiv\u201d, or \u201coffice furniture for Kyiv\u201d.<\/p>\n

But there is one Sub-Award that stands out among the rest, and it is was awarded to Labyrinth Global Health INC for \u201cSME Manuscript Documentation and COVID-19 Research\u201d.<\/p>\n

An award for Covid-19 research isn\u2019t exactly shocking when the world is allegedly in the grip of a Covid-19 pandemic, but considering the fact the sub-contract was awarded 12th November 2019, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19, the award for Covid-19 research should come as a shock to everyone.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

But the shock doesn\u2019t end there, because the place the contact for Covid-19 research was instructed to take place was Ukraine, as was the entire contract awarded by the DOD to Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The contract details found on the \u2018USA Spending\u2019 site actually reveal that the specific DOD department that awarded the contact was the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The contract was awarded 20th September 2012, and concluded on 13th October 2020.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Whilst the details are vague, the US Government site also reveals that $21.7 million of the $116.6 million contact was spent on a \u2018Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n

Why did the Department of Defense pay a company that is allegedly \u201ca global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company specialising in infrastructure development\u201d, to help implement a \u201cBiological threat reduction program in Ukraine\u2019?<\/p>\n

And why did both the DOD and said company then pay Labyrinth Global Health INC to carry out COVID-19 research in Ukraine at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?<\/p>\n

Founded in 2017, Labyrinth Global Health<\/a><\/u> is allegedly a \u201cwomen-owned small business with deep expertise and a proven track record supporting initiatives for scientific and medical advancement.\u201d<\/p>\n

They describe themselves as \u201ca multicultural and international organization with offices in four countries and a team of experts with diverse backgrounds and competencies, including microbiology, virology, global health, emerging infectious disease nursing, medical anthropology, field epidemiology, clinical research, and health information systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of those offices just happens to be located in Kyiv, Ukraine, which the company dubs \u201ca gateway to Eastern Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n

The leadership team of Labyrinth Global consists of Karen Saylors, PHD who is the Chief Executive Officer; Mary Guttieri, PHS who is the Chief Science Officer; and Murat Tartan who is the Chief Financial Officer.<\/p>\n

Karen Saylors, PhD, who co-founded Labyrinth Global Health, has allegedly worked in the international public health field for over a decade and has spent many years living in Africa establishing global surveillance networks, \u201cworking with partners to improve Global Health policy on infectious disease detection, response, and control\u201d.<\/p>\n

At Labyrinth, Dr. Saylors specialises in studies that aim to understand and mitigate biological and behavioural risk of disease transmission. Dr. Saylors worked with Oxford University Clinical Trials Network in Vietnam on zoonotic disease surveillance research and continues to coordinate with regional partners on emerging outbreaks in animal and human populations.<\/p>\n

But who are the partners that Dr Karen Saylors and Labyrinth Global Health choose to work with? They are none other than the \u2018Eco Health Alliance\u2019 and \u2018Metabiota\u2019.<\/p>\n

Dr Karen Saylors, Eco Health Alliance and Metabiota worked together on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) \u2018PREDICT\u2019 program from 2009, while Labyrinth Global Health worked alongside EHA and Metabiota on the PREDICT program from 2017.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2009 and funded by USAID, PREDICT was an early warning system for new and emerging diseases in 21 countries. It was led by the University of California\u2019s (\u201cUC\u201d) Davis One Health Institute<\/a> and core partners included EcoHealth Alliance (\u201cEHA\u201d)<\/a>, Metabiota, Wildlife Conservation Society, and Smithsonian Institution, and as we\u2019ve just revealed; Labyrinth Global Health. PREDICT was a forerunner of the more ambitious Global Virome Project.<\/p>\n

The USAID describes PREDICT<\/a> as having made \u201csignificant contributions to strengthening global surveillance and laboratory diagnostic capabilities for both known and newly discovered viruses within several important virus groups, such as filoviruses (including ebolaviruses), influenza viruses, paramyxoviruses, and coronaviruses<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one of the many studies published by Eco Health Alliance, Metabiota and Labyrinth Global Health proving the connection \u2013<\/p>\n

PREDICT partnered with the non-profit Eco Health Alliance (EHA) to carry out its 9-year effort to catalogue hundreds of thousands of biological samples, \u201cincluding over 10,000 bats<\/a>.\u201d A PREDICT-funded 2015 study<\/a> on \u201cdiversity of coronavirus in bats\u201d also included Peter Daszak, president of EHA, among its participants.<\/p>\n

Eco Health Alliance is listed as a partner of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (\u201cWIV\u201d) on archived pages of its website and was mentioned as a one of the institute\u2019s \u201cstrategic partners\u201d by the WIV\u2019s Deputy Director General in 2018.<\/p>\n

Notably, the relationship between the WIV and the American Biodefence establishment was advanced by EHA policy advisor, David R. Franz, former commander at US bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick.<\/p>\n

WIV\u2019s Dr. Shi Zhengli, a.k.a. \u201cBatwoman,\u201d had also worked with EHA\u2019s Daszak on bat-related studies. As far back as 2005, Daszak and Zhengli were conducting research on SARS-like coronaviruses in bats. Several PREDICT-funded studies on SARS-like coronaviruses and Swine Flu count with both Zhengli\u2019s and Daszak\u2019s contributions. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these is a 2015 PREDICT and NIH-funded study she co-authored entitled: \u2018A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence<\/em>\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nathan Wolfe<\/a> is the founder of Metabiota and non-profit Global Viral<\/a>. He spent over eight years conducting biomedical research in both sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.\u00a0Unsurprisingly, Wolfe is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader<\/a>.\u00a0 More notably, since 2008 he had been a member of DARPA\u2019s DSRC<\/a>, Defence Science Research Council, until it was disbanded<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of these people and organisations have been working for at least the last decade studying coronaviruses and helping to set up Biolabs in Ukraine. All using US Department of Defense funds to do so. You can read much more about this here<\/a>, here <\/a>and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Putting the biolabs in Ukraine to one side for now, let\u2019s return to the subject of Covid-19. If the US Government was funding Covid-19 research before Covid-19 was publicly known to exist then this suggests they either knew Covid-19 existed naturally, or they were involved in constructing this virus in a lab.<\/p>\n

But if the contract evidence isn\u2019t enough for you to come to this conclusion (it should be), then perhaps coupling it with evidence that the US National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases\u2019 (NIAID), and Moderna had a coronavirus candidate in December 2019 will be.<\/p>\n

A confidentially agreement which can be viewed here<\/a>, <\/strong>states that providers \u2018Moderna\u2019 alongside the \u2018National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases\u2019 (NIAID) agreed to tranfer \u2018mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates\u2019 developed and jointly-owned by NIAID and Moderna to recipients \u2018The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019 on the 12th December 2019.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The material transfer agreement was signed the December 12th 2019 by\u00a0Ralph Baric, PhD, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then signed by Jacqueline Quay, Director of Licensing and Innovation Support at the University of North Carolina on December 16th 2019.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The agreement was also signed by two representatives of the NIAID, one of whom was Amy F. Petrik PhD, a technology transfer specialist who signed the agreement on December 12th 2019 at 8:05 am. The other signatory was Barney Graham MD PhD, an investigator for the NIAID, however this signature was not dated.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The final signatories on the agreement were Sunny Himansu, Moderna\u2019s Investigator, and Shaun Ryan, Moderna\u2019s Deputy General Councel. Both signautres were made on December 17th 2019.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

All of these signatures were made prior to any knowledge of the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus.It wasn\u2019t until December 31st 2019 that the World Health Organisation (WHO) became aware of an alleged cluster of viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. But even at this point they had not determined that an alleged new coronavirus was to blame, instead stating the pneumonia was of \u201cunknown cause\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

All of this requires much further research to fit all of the pieces of the puzzle together, but here\u2019s what we definitely know so far \u2013<\/p>\n
