"Although assessing China’s military capabilities is notoriously difficult due to the secrecy & opacity its institutions maintain, a combination of historical records, assessments, & studies provide a view of China’s BW programme, this view is unsettling" orfonline.org/expert-speak/a…
An Indian Perspective (Part 1)
AN ASSESSMENT OF CHINA’S BIOLOGICAL WARFARE CAPABILITIES AND NEED FOR GLOBAL APPROACH TO BIO-SECURITY
The Radosavljevic–Belojevic method for outbreak scoring & differentiation shows that the official assumption of its natural origin is questionable and highlights the probability that the pathogen may have been "accidentally" introduced to humans
“The genomic origin of the strain that infected patient zero was a Chinese bat virus that underwent extensive pre-adaptation to humans, including continual transmissibility..
“The open question is how, where, and when such exceptional genomic pre-adaptation took place”
One possibility is that a wild-type virus was 1st propagated repeatedly in human tissue cultures & the resulting spontaneously upgraded virus was then used to experimentally infect monkeys or ferrets—one of which then accidentally infected staff in the lab jns.org/opinion/where-…
An interesting observation
"The WIV has long been routinely supplied with rhesus monkeys from the Macaque Breeding Base in Suizhou City"
The trials were conducted by scientists from Porton Down in Wiltshire. About 3,500 monkeys and guinea pigs were killed after exposure to "plague bombs"
Operation Cauldron, The Stuff of Monkey Nightmares
More Chinese Monkey Research and Breeding Programs to come tomorrow
5 species of primates are used in China for biomedical research
2 species, crab-eating macaque & common marmoset are alien
3 species, pigtail, stumptail & rhesus macaques, are indigenous
Those used for biomedical research are crab-eating & rhesus macaques ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22179…
The following information on monkey breeding centres in China is from 2001.
There have been some changes...
For example, Hubei Topgene Biotechnology, the new supplier to WIV and WIBP was not listed 20 years ago.

Chinese Primate Status and Primate Captive Breeding for Biomedical Research in China
This thread is an investigation of the breeding centres, laboratory research evidence, logistics and locations of possible Biological Warfare research in China using non human primates.
It may lead nowhere or it might lead somewhere, that remains to be determined.

Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.
2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.
Here is my attempt at a simple summary of what @JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen claim (July 2026)
1. In early 2020, Chinese scientists published the first big paper on the COVID virus using fluid samples taken from patients’ lungs in Wuhan in December 2019.
1. An Indecent Proposal for Protecting our Pensioners
and preventing their Further Decay!
It is a melancholy object to those who walk through our parks or scroll through our family chat groups to behold the wretched condition of our retirees.
2. These once-vigorous souls, now bent over glowing rectangles at all hours, doom scrolling through tales of grandchildren’s exotic holidays, political apocalypses, and filtered neighbours’ perfect kitchens.
3. Their posture collapses, their sleep evaporates, their blood pressure soars, and their remaining years dissolve into envious bitterness.
1. Federal agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as well as the NIAID were funding a remarkable array of research projects around the world..
2. "through a small cabal of civilian actors that in aggregate constituted a de facto bioweapons development program. In my job as data analyst for University of California, I had access to enough data to strongly suspect the existence of such a program"
He has a MA in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked as an analyst for thirty years in the University of California’s Office of the President.
2. The whistleblower just testified that following pressure & interference from mid-level & senior CIA leadership, the team's lab-leak findings were suppressed.
3. On August 17, 2021, the team was forced to reverse its stance and officially submit a conclusion stating they were unable to determine the origin, which formed the basis of the declassified ODNI report released later that month.
