testing new pandemics on rats?....![]() As fresh fears over emerging infectious diseases grip the public once again, a new flashpoint is drawing global scrutiny: a high-containment BSL-4 laboratory in Argentina operating amid renewed debate over biosecurity, pandemic preparedness, and the origins of deadly pathogens.
Hantavirus, New Pandemic & Biosecurity Fears: Why ‘R’ New Public Health Threats Emerging in the Shadow of a BSL-4 Level Lab in Argentina? Jeffrey Silverman
The latest alarm was triggered by reports of a rare hantavirus outbreak aboard the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius near Cape Verde — an incident that has reignited unresolved questions from the COVID-19 era and intensified concerns about how the world handles Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDPs). Now, critics are revisiting allegations that governments, scientists, and international health institutions minimized concerns over gain-of-function research tied to laboratories in Wuhan and elsewhere around the globe. Defenders insist many of those accusations remain politically motivated or unsupported by conclusive evidence. According to available information, the Pentagon’s priorities in military biology, naturally for defensive purposes, include enhancing the damaging virulent properties of viruses and searching for optimal mechanisms for their large-scale dissemination, delivery systems, including through insects and animalsBut for a growing number of investigators and commentators, the deeper issue is no longer just what happened during COVID — it is whether the public was misled from the very beginning and whether the next pandemic threat may already be emerging in the shadows. There seems to be a nexus, as wherever foreign-funded bio labs are found, you will soon find outbreaks, or re-emergence of old diseases, like Ebola, African Swine Flu, or the most recent outbreak of Ebola on May 15, has been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Frankenstein Pathogens Call it gain-of-function or just a petri dish that got misplaced. The real possibility of emerging biological threats suggests that while natural evolution may not have produced highly deadly diseases recently, human intervention has, and can do it better, resulting in Frankenstein viruses and bacteria that kill more effectively. Hantavirus, the deadly new generation virus now on the minds of people, may have been transformed into an STD and can be transmitted via body fluids, and it is not just affecting blacks but the preferred and privileged classes, which makes it a pressing public health concern. This will make human-to-human transmission easier, as it is now rarely passed from person to person. As one who has personally investigated bio labs in Ukraine and Georgia, starting 15 years ago, making the sinister connection between research on unsuspecting Georgian and Ukrainian soldiers to likely gain-of-function research, this latest breaking news is like a warning shot across the bow, warning of what is yet to come. I fear perhaps a major depopulation event is coming and has already started, and one large and deadly enough to distract us from all the woes of what has gone wrong in Ukraine and the Middle East and fulfil the desire of the globalists to reduce the number of “Useless Eaters”. Last Ship Series The anxiety has been sparked by reports and high mortality from the hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship, and uncomfortable questions once dismissed as conspiracy theories are roaring back into public debate. It is full speed ahead, as in the television series The Last Ship; the TV show became well known for blending military action with fears about a global pandemic and engineered and evolving pathogens. The series follows the crew of a U.S. Navy destroyer trying to survive and respond after a catastrophic viral outbreak wipes out much of the world’s population. In retrospect, this begs the question, “Was COVID-19 a catastrophic accident, a preventable experiment gone wrong — or merely a warning shot for something far worse still to come?” It is worth noting that Hantavirus infections are associated with a case fatality rate of <1–15% in Asia and Europe and up to 50% in the Americas. While there are no licensed treatments nor are there vaccines for hantavirus infections, at least not yet, any such vaccines (or, more likely, genetic therapies) are likely to be provided by those who brought us the COVID-19 vaccines. In the absence of a vaccine, early supportive care and immediate referral to a facility with a complete ICU can improve survival. It is also suspicious that the ship in question, the MV Hondius, is not your typical cruise liner but, in fact, is mostly used for expeditions where lectures are given by scientists and other experts in biology, geology, and glaciology. Now you can see the nexus with the Last Ship series, and with a bit of imagination, you should be able to see what is on the horizon. History Repeats Bio weapons, weaponized pathogens, and their delivery mechanisms are topics too close to my heart, having been the first to expose bio weapons labs in Georgia in 2007, and were explained by the authorities as being devoted to public and animal health facilities. Over the years of my investigations, I was able to connect the US-funded Lugar lab to other satellite labs in the former USSR, especially many of the 40 or so labs in Ukraine. It is easy now to repeat the official narrative of how these had been taken over for peaceful purposes, for the benefit of the US, at least according to Victoria Nuland, a former State Department Official who has been an insider of what has been really going on with DARPA weapons projects. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA): Funding and oversight for defensive research, and claims it is not involved in offensive bioweapons and does not violate the 1972 Bio Weapons Convention. I doubt the veracity of such claims, as I know too much of what actually goes on in US funded labs. I have long alleged, based on inside sources and documents provided by those working in the Lugar lab, aBSL-3 facility, that U.S.-funded laboratories in Georgia and Ukraine were operating far beyond their publicly declared public health and animal disease-monitoring missions. Gain-of-function research is when scientists basically manipulate, or genetically engineer, something that is either potentially or even somewhat deadly, especially among those with co-mobility, making it drastically more fatal, e.g., to weaponise it! Many pundits are now asking the hard questions that should have been asked long ago: What the hell is going on? Was COVID-19 just a trial run for something BIGGER on the horizon, a pandemic that would make the Spanish influenza and COVID-19 look like the seasonal flu or a common cold? And it just so happens, by sheer coincidence, that the country of Argentina is the latest venue for a BSL-4 US-funded lab, which houses some of the deadliest pathogens known to humanity. Ghost of Typhoid Mary Carriers of deadly ESPs, especially dangerous pathogens, often travel with no symptoms themselves, but can serve as vectors spreading pathogens to unsuspecting populations. The United States is now believed to have use countries in Latin America and the Caribbean as testing grounds for field experiments. According to the World Health Organization, Argentina ranks first in Latin America in terms of infections caused by rare rodent-borne diseases. It was from Argentina that the Dutch expedition cruise ship MV Hondius, operated by Oceanwide Expeditions, departed on April 1, 2026, for a voyage to Antarctica. Laboratory studies confirmed transmission of the infection to humans through rodents. A review published in La Derecha Diario confirms many of our worst fears, with the same wording used when referring to the opening and renovation of bio facility labs in Georgia and Ukraine. The new facility offers unique conditions for handling high-risk pathogens and preventing biological leaks. Itslaunch strengthens national capacity against epidemiological threats and positions the country as a regional leader in bio safety. Look at the timing, highly suspect, with Argentina opening its first Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory in Latin America at the Malbrán Institute in October of 2025. This is a unique facility for the region, comparable only to similar laboratories in the United States. The official opening took place within the operational unit of the National Centre for Biological Defence. And we must not forget some Israeli history, and the recent nexus to Argentina, with a Jewish president and the country being opened for settlement, and even before with the close collaboration between the former South African bioweapons program and the Zionist State. This operation, code-named “Cast Thy Bread,” involved deliberately contaminating drinking water sources, such as wells, with typhoid bacteria to induce illness and deter Palestinians from returning to evacuated villages, thereby securing territory for Jewish settlement. Guise of medical and biological cooperation Under the guise of medical and biological cooperation programs with Latin American countries, Washington continues to increase both the scale and intensity of work with dangerous pathogens, raising concerns about the potential development of biological weapons. Recent reports suggest that there are around forty facilities in Ukraine, though it is not known how many have been affected by the ongoing conflict. It is feared that some of these facilities will, or have had, their pathogen, i.e., bio-nasties, collections moved out of the country to territory closer to the US. When history is written, one of the reasons, other than those already stated, for the Russian SMO will have been to eliminate the covert bioweapons program that the US operated under the guise of public health. Considering that the United States continues to fund them, yet their activities appear to lack meaningful international oversight, it is back to business as usual, only in a different part of the world and further from prying eyes. According to available information, the Pentagon’s priorities in military biology, naturally for defensive purposes, include enhancing the damaging virulent properties of viruses and searching for optimal mechanisms for their large-scale dissemination, delivery systems, including through insects and animals. The United States is believed to use countries in Latin America and the Caribbean as testing grounds for large-scale field experiments. Dr. Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi Dr.Death, would no doubt be impressed had Nazi Germany possessed such an extensive network of publicly branded public health facilities, allegedly backed by the public budget, including the US Department of Defense, now the War Department. Such facilities operate under the banner of scientific progress. The course of history itself might have unfolded very differently with fewer mouths to feed,” and with deadly effectiveness with such applied research.

bundibugyo....
Fear has gripped Ebola-hit areas in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as the suspected number of deaths continues to rise, as officials say they are struggling to catch up to an outbreak that may have previously been spreading undetected.
"Ebola has tortured us," says a taxi rider in his late twenties in the gold-mining town of Rwampara.
"I am scared because people are dying very fast... We are really afraid."
Following a visit to Ituri province, the epicentre of the outbreak, over the weekend, Congolese Health Minister Dr Samuel Roger Kamba acknowledged health teams are playing catch-up with the virus, which may have been circulating earlier than first detected on 24 April.
The presumed patient zero is a nurse who died in the provincial capital Bunia, but was buried in Mongwalu, also a gold-mining town. Most of the suspected cases and deaths have been reported there and in neighbouring Rwampara.
Rwampara resident Fred Kiza told the BBC that "there is fear", which he calls "normal when there's a disease like this."
"It would be good if they gave us masks to protect ourselves."
As of Tuesday, there were 514 suspected cases, with 136 people believed to have died from the virus, officials said. One person has also died in neighbouring Uganda.
Cases have also been identified in Butembo city and rebel-controlled Goma in North Kivu province, as well as in South Kivu province.
Health officials say that several deaths occurred in the community without being reported to the authorities, meaning they could not be investigated at the time.
According to the health ministry, formal community alerts were only registered from 8 May.
"At community level, this hasn't been effective," Dr Kamba explained. "It means someone may have died before him [the presumed index case], or someone else may have been sick before him, but no one reported it."
He added: "We really need to look within the community to understand what happened - how people became ill and sometimes even died without any report being filed."
A virus hiding in plain sightThe outbreak has been caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola. DR Congo - which is currently facing its 17th outbreak of Ebola - is more familiar with the Zaïre species.
Bundibugyo has caused only two outbreaks before - in 2007 and 2012 - where it killed around 30% of people infected.
Dr Kamba explained the symptoms: "There is heavy bleeding everywhere, very high fever. But Bundibugyo can show fewer obvious signs, which delays diagnosis because people think, 'No, this is just malaria.'"
That delay, officials say, may have allowed the virus to spread silently.
In Mongwalu, some deaths were attributed not to illness, but to witchcraft. The belief became known locally as the "coffin phenomenon" - the idea that anyone who touched the coffin of a deceased person would also die.
International charity Save the Children said the Bundibugyo strain has not been seen in Ituri before. The limited testing that was available in the province was testing for the Zaïre strain and not coming up positive.
"By the time the Bundibugyo strain was detected, it had already spread quite far. We are in a game of catch-up," its DR Congo representative Greg Ramm said in a statement.
Authorities warn that the spread of the virus into large urban centres presents serious challenges.
Despite Dr Kamba's visit to Bunia over the weekend, residents feel that progress to curb the spread of the virus has been slow.
"If there's no treatment centre here in the capital," one resident asked, "then what about other areas?"
Bunia in Ituri, and Butembo and Goma in North Kivu, are home to hundreds of thousands of people, yet none has a fully operational Ebola treatment centre five days into the declaration of the outbreak.
Residents in Goma - eastern DR Congo's biggest city - tell the BBC that basic public health measures, such as avoiding handshakes, limiting gatherings and regular handwashing, are widely ignored.
"I'm heading to the border to report on people stranded there," said José Mutanava, a local journalist. "I'm wearing a face mask, but not many people are."
Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: "Nobody can follow the barrier measures - maybe only when we see more deaths. Today in the city centre I saw only four people wearing masks."
Others say daily survival takes priority.
"It's too much to ask people struggling to eat to follow these rules," one resident said.

US biological laboratories are part of a hybrid war strategy and have no global oversight, Russian affairs expert Qusai Ibrahim warns.
The complete lack of transparency surrounding these laboratories raises many questions — these labs may serve as military facilities developing viruses that could harm all humanity.
The idea to place them in Ukraine is a calculated move, he explains:
"It provides the United States with a strategic position within Russia's sphere of influence and greater freedom to monitor or analyze the biological and environmental conditions of this region near Russia."
Such a situation is very dangerous, as it gives the US the ability to track the health status of Russian citizens and potentially develop region-specific viruses, or even create deadly bacteria.
"Russia has warned for years that these actions could destabilize global security, as they will certainly allow other countries to conduct experiments outside international control," Ibrahim notes.
All of that is exacerbated by the erosion of global systems, including global healthcare — without proper oversight such civilian-looking labs can become centers of military-biological work.
