Listening to a podcast today, the host mentioned the Plum Island facility.
If the high level ‘wuhan lab’ type place isn’t creepy enough for you, you’ll be happy to know that several odd-looking pieces of human bodies and grotesque looking animals were found on shore at different times. Were they related to the lab? I don’t know. But it didn’t help the lab’s already shady reputation.

Lurking in the dark waters of Long Island Sound is a mysterious place known as Plum Island. Just ten miles off the coast of Connecticut, this tiny speck of land has long been rumored to be the epicenter of top-secret biowarfare research. The U.S. government acknowledges that the island is home to a scientific facility. Its stated purpose is to study animal-borne diseases. But investigators are beginning to uncover startling new facts about this forbidding place. Insiders and ex-employees have come forward to tell their stories. From security breaches in germ labs, to escaped diseases and potential mass epidemics, this is the real Plum Island story. But the government denies anything is wrong.
Plum Island’s Secret Past
Although the origins of Plum Island are shrouded in secrecy, investigations have revealed the startling fact that, in the 1950s, the lab was run by a German scientist named Erich Traub, who was brought to America after the Second World War. His specialty in the Third Reich was virus and vaccine research. Along with rocket scientists like Werner von Braun, Traub was spirited out of post-war Germany to help jump-start the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The well-documented U.S. government project to recruit German scientists and technicians was known as Operation Paperclip. President Truman approved the project, so long as only nominal Nazi party members without SS affiliation were recruited. However, because the Nazi party promoted so many of its top scientists, Operation Paperclip ended up white-washing the pasts of many of its recruits in order to get them into the U.S.
Traub’s particular expertise was in disease-carrying insectsin particular, the common tick. Ticks are often carried aloft by birds, and can therefore quickly spread over large swaths of territory. Called “vectors,” ticks and mosquitoes are also genetically similar. Both contain bacteriophages or plasmids that transfer genetic material into a cell, or from one bacterium to another. In other words, they can infect whatever host animal with which they come in contact. Multiply this by millions, and ticks become the perfect insect army. READ MORE

There’s more—
From June 3, 2015:
Plum Island’s move to Kansas: ‘This research facility is an accident waiting to happen’.
outbreaknewstoday:
Groundbreaking for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), a $1.25 billion project by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), took place last Wednesday in Manhattan, Kansas. The new facility will focus biosafety level 3 agriculture (BSL-3Ag) research on dangerous livestock diseases such as African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and will focus its BSL-4 research on such deadly pathogens as the Hendra and Nipah viruses, which are zoonotic pathogens that can be transmitted from animals to humans and for which no treatment is available.
R-CALF USA Vice President Mike Schultz who raises cattle in Brewster, Kansas, said the United States is making a terrible mistake by bringing the live FMD virus into Kansas.
“Congress and the President are ignoring the science that tells us this research facility is an accident waiting to happen,” he said. more

And from June 27, 2019—
USDA to run ‘Plum Island’ Kansas.
outbreaknewstoday:
In a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we learn that the USDA will run the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), the $1.25 billion biosafety level-4 laboratory in Manhattan, Kansas.
USDA will assume responsibility for all operational planning and eventual operation of the facility. DHS’ efforts are on schedule and on budget to complete construction in December 2020 and to complete commissioning in May 2021, when ownership of NBAF will be formally transferred to USDA. read more
SNIP: Based on what we now know about our government… How safe do you feel right now?
Kansas!?! I’d rather they put that hell-lab in Wuhan.
Check out Utopia on Amazon (the Brit version, not the USA one). Some amazing parallels with what’s happening now. A Russian Flu outbreak and a vaccine that everyone *must* take. The goal: reduce the world’s population to only 500 million within a few years.
^ re Utopia, very violent and graphic. Not for the squeamish.
“are you saying we’re trapped like rats? No. Rats can’t be trapped that easily. You’re trapped like people who blindly believe their government.”
The Simpsons
It sounds like they brought Wuhan to Kansas.
“the government denies anything is wrong.”
Now isn’t that special.
They don’t open ‘officially’ until 2023ish. But then, that’s what they’re telling people.
No doubt in my mind this is where we got Lyme disease. The closest town in CT to plum Island is Lyme, where the disease gets its name.
Please don’t do us any more favors.
I knew a woman who grew up in Old Lyme and contracted a serious illness in her later years while living in MD. Her symptoms were like Lyme disease, but the tests were always negative. Doctors refused to treat her with antibiotics. She lived a miserable life for 20 years and died a horrible death, treating her extreme pain with morphine.
There’s a decent book about Plum Island called Lab 257.
I contracted Lyme disease, babesiosis and babesiosis from a single tick bite on the Eastern Shore of MD in 2002. I have been on and off antibiotics for all these years since. Six to nine months of doxycycline and azithromycin and I feel great. Stop, and three months later the symptoms come back.
This gain of function Bio-warfare bullshit should be the last straw of big government… These idiots are gonna poke that bear one too many times and unleash a REAL “insurrection”.
Sign me up.
Don’t worry, a tornado will pick it up and move it somewhere else. Howdy, neighboring states!
Jethro – dude, I’m so sorry to hear that. That sucks. Is it low dose antibiotics?
Lyme disease is an autoimune disease. Mikaela Peterson had life threatening arthritis all her life until she went on an extreme Lion diet and it cured her. Her story is on a joe rogan pod cast and she has her own podcasts which I highly recommend
Is that “epicenter” or “episphincter”?
How is CDCs safety and bullshit record?
Sorry to hear that you’re going through all that, Jethro.
@MJA
No. Quite a high dose.
I also take a ton of probiotics to keep from getting thrush or yeast overgrowth in my gut.
Symptoms include knee, hand and wrist pain, cognitive issues like memory and difficulty in focusing, migraine headaches, air hunger, night sweats, muscle twitching….
@Dadof4
I’m lucky I have decent insurance and I found a great “renegade” doctor who understands tick borne illnesses. As long as I stay on the drugs I feel fine.
I also have to stay away from sugars to keep the yeast under control.
Not safe at all. Was that a rhetorical question?
Holy crap, Jethro! Every time I get to feeling like I have problems I hear of someone else with a completely different set of issues to deal with. I’ll tell you what, anybody that gets to 80 years old and hardly ever even gets a cold is one fortunate son of a gun! I’ve heard of those guys, but I’m not one of them. Stay safe out there Jethro, and everyone else too!
I’m with LuvntheBIGsites. ‘Governments’ are now the biggest threat to life on this planet, with global corporations a close second.

I already live one state North, and those fuckers in Kansas burn their their fields off every spring. We end up with horrible air quality, so bad at times that we are warned to stay inside if possible.
They can keep their disease there.
They keep suing my state over water from the Republican River, I think it is time to start suing these assholes over my air quality.
It is getting to the point that I hate Kansas as much as I hate Missouri!
Jethro, I’m so sorry you have to suffer that. A high dose of antibiotics is not a pleasant thought. I hope the doctors switch it up (the type of antibiotics). It’s so easy to become allergic to an antibiotic if you take it too long. My dad became allergic to one. Back then, they didn’t have that many choices.
If you think the ticks from Connecticut are bad, we also unleashed a couple of parasites named Murphy and Blumenthal. Again, my apologizes for that.
Sorry to hear about your Lyme Jethro. My ex-wife has it. She was misdiagnosed for years, finally got help. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone…well maybe on some people who would destroy our Country.
