The Genesis of Sectarian Death Squads in Syria: The Fall of Assad to US-Supported Extremists and the Massacre of Christians and Alawites By Dennis Kucinich While many in Washington claim to defend Christianity and Western values, their policies have led to the systematic annihilation of some of the world’s oldest Christian communities. The same politicians who posture as defenders of faith have not just turned a blind eye to the suffering of Christians in the Middle East, from Palestine’s West Bank and Gaza to Lebanon and Syria, they have chosen instead to fund their murderers.

RFK Jr. – “Most of our scientists are against the [H5N1 bird flu] culling operation.” By Nicolas Hulscher Most of our scientists are against the [H5N1 bird flu] culling operation. They think that we should be testing therapeutics on those flocks. They should isolate them. You should let the disease go through them and identify the birds that survive, which are the birds that probably have a genetic, genetic inclination for immunity. Read here

Bird Flu Is a Rerun of the Covid Playbook

 Bird Flu Is a Rerun of the Covid Playbook

By Clayton J. Baker, MD   February 18, 2025   Public Health, Vaccines   6 minute read

Bird flu can be very confusing. This is true because, as is so often the case with our government, those who claim to be trying to solve the problem – our so-called “public health” and “pandemic preparedness” “experts” – are actually the ones who created the problem. What is worse, they are actively seeking to perpetuate it.

In this brief article, my goal is to explain what is happening with H5N1 Bird flu in the clearest, most fundamental terms. I hope to make it so clear that all our elected officials can understand what is going on, and therefore can take action to stop it.

The key to understanding the current Bird flu panic is this: Bird flu is a complete rerun of the Covid script. There is just one twist:

Last time, with Covid, the pandemic-planning bioterrorists directly blackmailed us by taking away our civil rights, in order to coerce us to accept their unsafe and ineffective vaccines. 

This time, with Bird flu, the pandemic planning bioterrorists are indirectly blackmailing us by targeting our food, in order to coerce us to accept more of their unsafe and ineffective vaccines into our food supply and those who supply it.

Here is their playbook. Learn it, and you can understand how to put an end to it.

Let’s review. What happened during Covid? 

1. Over many years, bioweapons scientists, under the guise of “pandemic preparedness,” genetically manipulated a bat coronavirus to be both transmissible and virulent in humans. In other words, they created a bioweapon.
2. Meanwhile, they also developed and patented technologies for vaccines against that same virus. In other words, they created the countermeasure to their bioweapon.
3. In late 2019, the lab-manipulated coronavirus bioweapon, SARS CoV-2, was leaked from a lab. 
4. While the countermeasure vaccines were rushed into production, “public health” authorities took advantage of the lab leak by denying its occurrence, while simultaneously coercing governments to impose lockdowns and other civil rights violations on the human population.
5. To perpetuate the lockdowns, “public health” authorities performed indiscriminate PCR testing for the virus among the population, knowing full well this would generate countless false positives.
6. The authorities used this excessive testing along with media-generated fear-mongering and governmental abuse of power, to prolong the lockdowns and the civil rights abuses.
7. The lockdowns and civil rights abuses were used to blackmail the population into mass acceptance of the vaccines into their own bodies, in exchange for a return to normal life.

What is happening now, with H5N1 Bird flu?

1. Over many years, bioweapons scientists, under the guise of “pandemic preparedness,” have genetically manipulated the H5N1 avian influenza virus to cross classes of animals and even become more transmissible to humans. In other words, they created a bioweapon.
2. Meanwhile, they also developed and patented technologies for vaccines against that same virus. In other words, they created the countermeasure to their bioweapon.
3. In early 2022, a lab-manipulated Bird flu bioweapon leaked from the USDA Southeast Poultry Lab in Athens, GA. Multiple Bird flu leaks have also occurred from other labs.
4. While the countermeasure vaccines are being rushed into production, “public health” authorities take advantage of these lab leaks by denying their occurrence, while simultaneously coercing our government to impose mass slaughter of farm animals, creating food shortages for the human population.
5. To perpetuate the mass slaughter and worsen food shortages, “public health” authorities are performing indiscriminate PCR testing for the virus among the animal population and farmers, knowing full well this will generate countless false positives.
6. Authorities are using this excessive testing along with media-generated fear-mongering and governmental abuse of power, to prolong the mass slaughter of farm animals and the food shortages.
7. The mass slaughter of farm animals and resulting food shortages are being used to blackmail the population into mass acceptance of the vaccines in their food supply, in exchange for a return to normal life.

This is not conspiracy theory. This is basic pattern recognition.

The “pandemic planners” are operating just like a moderately competent, if unimaginative, high school football coach. If you run a play, and it works, run it again. Keep running it until they stop it.

How do we stop it?

Here’s how:

1. End the brutal mass slaughter of poultry flocks immediately. This disgusting, death-wish practice is directly analogous to the deadly and unconstitutional human lockdowns during  Covid. It is also an act of biological terrorism. It traumatizes farmers, wastes resources, creates food shortages, is inhumane in the extreme to animals, and does nothing to stop the virus. Let the flocks develop natural immunity. Slaughtered flocks cannot develop natural immunity to a virus, just as locked-down human populations cannot either. Sound familiar?
2. End the indiscriminate PCR testing for Bird flu in animals and humans immediately. A positive PCR test is like the proverbial grand jury indictment – you can get one on a ham sandwich if you try hard enough. Willy-nilly PCR testing creates innumerable false positives, which fuels the fear porn and hysteria, paralyzes decision-makers, and promotes population-wide blackmail. 
3. The USDA appears to be acting as a rogue agency. The USDA’s leadership needs to be thoroughly reviewed and, well, culled. All those attached to the pandemic preparedness industry, and all those perpetuating the fear-mongering, irresponsible mass PCR testing, mass slaughter of animals, etc. must be immediately removed from the agency. They represent not only a threat to animals and the food supply but to President Trump’s entire second term.
4. The personnel at the CDC need a similar prompt and thorough overhaul. The CDC, while somewhat chastened by President Trump’s executive order silencing HHS agencies, and benefitting from the departure of former Director Mandy Cohen, is still led by Biden-era appointments whose past resumes raise serious doubt about their willingness to abandon the  Covid-era “pandemic planning” model of public health. For example, acting director Susan Monarez, PhD’s bio shows multiple Deep State connections to the pandemic preparedness industry. Should she remain at the CDC?
5. The USDA Southeast Poultry Research Lab in Athens, Ga. should be shut down and thoroughly investigated.
6. The Kawaoka Bird flu lab at the University of Wisconsin, which has been doing reckless gain-of-function research for decades, and which has had multiple lab leaks, should be shut down and investigated as well.
7. Brooke Rollins, the new USDA Secretary, needs to be fully briefed on H5N1 Bird flu by honest experts who are not embedded in the pandemic preparedness industry. Individuals such as Meryl Nass, MD, and Peter McCullough, MD and his team would both be excellent choices.
8. President Trump should follow through on his 2024 promise to disband the redundant, Biden-created Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR). Mr. Trump’s instinct was correct then, and it remains correct now.
9. The $590 Million dollar Bird flu vaccine development contract to Moderna that the Biden administration approved a couple of days before President Trump’s inauguration should be cancelled. 
10. The USDA’s reported “conditional approval” of a Bird flu vaccine with Zoetis should be cancelled. Bird flu vaccination in poultry flocks has been demonstrated in other countries to select for more virulent strains. Furthermore, the CEO of Zoetis has close ties to Pfizer, BlackRock, and the Gates Foundation, all well-established bad actors during the Covid era. Beware, Mr. President.

The “pandemic preparedness” racket isn’t as complicated as it seems. Once one comes to terms with the fact that the arsonists are running the fire department – as they have been demonstrated by DOGE to be doing in so many other areas of government as well – we can recognize what is actually happening and apply the necessary solutions.

 Louisiana patient tests positive for bird flu – on par with Dr. Peter Hotez’s pandemic threats once Trump takes office

12/20/2024 // Lance D Johnson 

• H5N1 has now been detected in a hospitalized patient in Louisiana, marking the first severe case in the U.S.
• Dr. Peter Hotez mockingly warned of multiple viral threats coming to the U.S. once Donald Trump takes office, including H5N1 bird flu.
• PCR tests for H5N1 will likely be unleashed en masse on human patients, making all winter illnesses and hospitalizations appear to be a bird flu pandemic.
• The CDC continues research on the virus, highlighting the potential for increased human-to-human transmission, which is historically rare.

Dr. Peter Hotez warned that the H5N1 bird flu would be unleashed once Trump takes office

The medical establishment, seeking to reassert its authority over the population, appears to be preparing for a new wave of infectious disease hysteria. This time, the catalyst is the case of H5N1 bird flu in Louisiana, which comes on the heels of ominous projections by Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine pusher who warns of impending threats from various viral outbreaks coming once Trump takes office.

Dr. Hotez, who has been a vocal proponent of vaccination, recently made headlines by predicting a wave of deadly viral infections that could hit the United States right after the inauguration of the new Trump administration. Among the viruses that Hotez is particularly concerned about is H5N1 bird flu, which has now reportedly claimed its first severe case in the United States.

On December 18, the CDC announced that a person in Louisiana had been hospitalized with H5N1, marking the nation's first serious case of the disease. The patient, who had been exposed to sick and dead birds in backyard flocks, likely caught the virus from these sources. While the CDC maintains that the risk of H5N1 infection among the general public remains low, its warning comes with a significant caveat — there is no evidence of the virus spreading between humans.

However, this cautious statement has not deterred the medical establishment from ramping up the rhetoric. Dr. Hotez's alarmist predictions about multiple viral outbreaks, including H5N1 and other emerging coronaviruses, have created a sense of impending doom. His warnings come at a time when the public is still grappling with the confusion and fear engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was marked by a lack of transparency and numerous incidents of fraudulent activity, including planned bio-terror propaganda and coercive vaccine messaging,

The question that arises is whether this renewed focus on infectious diseases is nothing more than a calculated effort to regain public trust and compliance with public health mandates, narratives, and officials. The mainstream media, with its proven history of promoting sensational headlines and bio-terror propaganda, is once again playing into the hands of the medical establishment.

Infectious disease narratives and bio-terror propaganda: a war for the mind

The methods being employed are eerily similar to those used during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which utilized PCR tests en masse to give the illusion that people’s seasonal sicknesses were all from some new source - COVID-19. In this hysteria, common illnesses like influenza, colds, pneumonia, and various other respiratory infections radically disappeared overnight. The CDC and other health organizations may soon push for expanded PCR testing for bird flu in humans. PCR is widely criticized for its false positives and over-diagnosis. Additionally, there is talk of developing new vaccine programs aimed at combating these "emerging threats," a familiar tactic from the recent past.

What is most concerning is the lack of critical discourse around these warnings. The scientific community continues to embrace gain-of-function virology research, which many experts have argued could potentially create more dangerous pathogens. This research, while defended by some as necessary for understanding and preventing outbreaks, has its own ethical and safety concerns and could be weaponized to control populations.

In the face of such a narrative, it is imperative for the public to remain skeptical and demand substantive proof of the threats being posited. The fear-mongering tactics used during the COVID-19 pandemic have shown that they can be both easily manipulated and exploited for political and economic gain.

As Dr. Hotez and his allies seek to create a sense of urgency around new viral threats, the public would be wise to look critically at the evidence and motivations behind such claims. The ongoing research on H5N1 and other infectious diseases should not be a pretext for a new round of restrictive public health measures and mandates. It is more important to learn about the underlying reasons why new disease labels are generated and what’s really at the core of sicknesses in the population, and what can be done to prevent and treat them, without devolving society into a cesspit of hysteria and fearful mind and behavioral controls.
