The Department of Defense

In the article posted yesterday, I told you to pay attention to Goal 8. Because in this short space, we have -

• The Department of Defense (DoD) will include support of global surveillance.

• The DoD will step up overseas involvement with overseas laboratories.

• The DoD will ensure capacity at its three domestic and six overseas labs.

-

The article can be found here.

There is another ‘coincidences’ I wish to draw attention to in this regard. Here it is. Oh, there’s that name again.

The initiative established by the Department of Defense is named GEIS.

Global Emerging Infections Surveillance

To quote - ‘The Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections Surveillance program was established in 1997 following the release of Presidential Decision Directive, National Science and Technology Council-7, which tasked DOD to improve infectious disease surveillance, prevention, and response capability to better protect the health of the Joint Force. Since that time, the GEIS Program has been a global leader in addressing militarily relevant infectious disease threats and informing force health protection decision making‘

The NSTC-7 release is as the above, and linked in quoted text. The GEIS link below you can find here.

Scroll down to see their reports. The one of interest is this one. The ‘Global Emerging Infections Surveillance Strategic Plan‘.

And this, really, is the report which make my suspicions a tad hard to deny. Because it’s all right there.

-

First off, two things I appreciate. One is honesty, and the other is not attempting to dress up simple concepts in self-indulgent verbiage. The latter is common in United Nations and World Health Organisation reports. Very common. In general, probably because those reports tend to be written by very young idiots, who have just graduated Marxist university indoctrination.

This report is straight forward, to the point, and - by and large - honest in reporting. There is a bit of logical deduction required for interpretation, but that’s to be expected. They couldn’t possibly admit it straight out, because even the most dense mainstream media reporter would pick up on it. Well, might. Not entirely sure about journalists writing for the Guardian or the ‘Independent’.

From the Executive Summary -

‘Through its partner laboratories, the GEIS network (GEIS-N) receives laboratory-confirmed pathogen identification, genomic sequence data, epidemiological demographic and risk factor data, and other related information that, when combined, provides critical details about emerging or expanding infectious disease threats around the world that may impact the health of the Force‘.

So, quickly, they state that the data is provided via partner labs, which provide genomic sequence data (and ‘other information’) that ‘may impact the health of the force’.

Right off the bat here, the justification that it’s to be used to protect the force is troublesome, if for no other reason that they do not know where they will be sent next, or when, nor where the next ‘pandemic’ will arrive, and consequently need all information possible through said ‘partner laboratories’.

In fact, they straight up admit this next -

‘Our genomic surveillance activities must be part of other leading efforts to conduct genomic surveillance for infectious diseases worldwide‘.

It also goes on to loop in two other canaries in just 3 lines of text -

‘… Climate change and urbanization will continue to perpetuate the spread of disease; therefore, the GEIS program must adopt a One Health framework…‘

Climate change - check.
One Health - check.

And in that regard, why would the DoD be concerned about climate change, given its supposed impacts are very gradual?

It carries on, listing a brief history of the project, and outlines that they -

‘…have developed strong and long-standing relationships with U.S. interagency partners and international public health authorities.‘

Right, health agencies looped in. check.

‘Changing land use patterns, human migration, climate change, rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and increases in human-animal interactions have introduced new opportunities for emerging pathogens to manifest themselves in human diseases and spread quickly throughout the world, as evidenced by the worldwide SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the mpox epidemic‘

Land use - check.
Migration - check.
AMR - check.
Zoonoses - check.

And this, through not just the scamdemic (SARS-CoV-2), but also the monkeypox doing the rounds about a while back, which they were to desperate to overplay in the mainstream media, in spite of it - much like AIDS - largely only affecting the gay community.

They carry on by continuously increasing the need for even more data -

‘To protect Service members from infectious disease threats while deployed or traveling to high-risk areas, robust local data on vectors, reservoir hosts, and pathogens is needed‘

Countermeasures include vaccines, and they interestingly a comment on the VRBPAC annual meeting, which informs in regards to strand selection relating to the influenza vaccine. Interesting. Say, the WHO has a panel remarkably similar…

‘In support of the U.S. Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria (CARB) National Action Plan (2), the GEIS-N provides real-time outbreak detection and surveillance of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) across the Military Health System (MHS)‘

And of course it’s real-time. Check.

In the next section, we discover -

‘While NGS equipment is more accessible than ever before, genomic surveillance does not always yield operationally relevant information due to a lack of harmonization, analytical capabilities, and secure, accessible data transfer mechanisms. To address these challenges, in 2017, the GEIS-PO convened a group of GEIS partners with genome sequencing and bioinformatics expertise to better coordinate the development and use of NGS technologies within the network. The GEIS Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics Consortium (NGSBC) was formed to promote collaboration, communication, and standardization for Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics (NGS-BI) methods across the GEIS-N.‘

They are, in short, iterating data standards and methods, ensuring broad compatibility of information throughout.

‘The five objectives for developing this network include 1) integrated technology, …; 2) improved data analysis, sharing, …; 3) facilitated collaborations to harmonize surveillance activities …; 4) integrated Consortium governance …; and 5) continued, sustainable deployment of financial resources to support coordinated NGS-BI activities in the GEIS-N.‘

Data harmonisation - check.
Sustainable financing - check.

We then get to the section on One Health, which is pretty boring, mainly because we’ve seen it many, many, many times before.

‘… targeting multiple domains of One Health and characterizing the linkages to human outcomes. That foundation will be critical in GEIS’ ability to pivot to newly prioritized One Health surveillance (e.g., wastewater surveillance) within the DOD. To continue building a foundation of robust surveillance activities across One Health domains, the GEIS-PO has identified the following priorities: 1) combine existing data streams from pathogens of interest to identify possible One Health questions and objectives, 2) define the minimum necessary data elements and analyses for demonstrating a relationship between two or more One Health domains, and 3) develop a new One Health data repository or data stream‘

Wastewater surveillance - check.
Multiple domains of One Health means animal surveillance - check.

Data modernisation outlines an initiative to store data in raw and semi-processed state, not entirely unlike how your camera can store RAW and JPEG data versions. More complicated, yes, of course. But principle is broadly the same as you lose a bit of frequency in return for smaller size.

Now, do you want to see a real-time goalpost move? Yes?

‘supports a global network of highly qualified DOD Service laboratories positioned in key location’

So these are DoD labs, yes?

‘The GEIS purpose cannot be achieved without the GEIS-PLs‘ (partner labs)

Oh so they cooperate with a few civilian labs?

‘The GEIS program relies almost exclusively on its laboratory partners and collaborates on a case-by-case basis with other external partners to fill specific gaps or niches within the network.‘

Oh ok. So they have very few labs themselves, and rely on external information. But this is still military information?

‘Surveillance findings from the GEIS-N are unique because they include laboratory-confirmed data on a variety of populations in locations where there may be gaps in surveillance. Products generated by the GEIS-N that are intended to communicate surveillance findings typically include additional data sources (e.g., Ministries of Health) to provide context to findings and conclusions. Thus, a diverse audience may benefit from these surveillance findings‘

… and just like that, we’re now at information generated by the various ministries of health. You know, like those, who per agreements, forward all their surveillance data to the WHO. But we’re still just in the sphere of human health, correct?

‘The GEIS-N is well poised to support the NSS by providing early warning of infectious disease threats across One Health domains, bolstering genomic surveillance and bioinformatics capabilities, and modernizing data sharing practices‘

Uh oh, I get this funny feeling…

‘Recognizing that humans, animals, plants, and our environment are all interconnected, the GEIS-N conducts surveillance across One Health domains, lending to a more comprehensive understanding of how infectious disease emerge and are transmitted‘

And just like that, we’re now civilian, animal, and environment centered.

‘Through the GEIS NGSBC, pathogen genome sequence data and other analytical information is shared within the GEIS-N, and posted to repositories such as GENBANK and GISAID, as appropriate‘

Oh so there’s the central database.

‘While the primary purpose of the GEIS program is to inform FHP, GEIS indirectly supports global health security and is therefore informed by the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) (7), the Office of the Secretary of Defense Cable, Policy Guidance for DOD Global Health Engagement, and the resulting DOD Instruction‘

Right, so we’re speaking full GHSA compliance. We’re speaking same rules as WHO. We’re speaking identical patterns as civilian surveillance.

Catch the drift?

But here’s an opportunity to make some blood money. Well, until CBDCs go through anyway, at which stage they’ll confiscate it anyway.

‘The GEIS-PO coordinates closely with the DHA Office of General Counsel (OGC) to ensure funded projects follow‘

‘The GEIS Proposal Management Information System (ProMIS) is the web application used to submit proposals and associated attachments to the GEIS-PO‘

Back to the argument of arbitrary deployment -

‘… where Service members are or could be deployed. Furthermore, continued surveillance of known threats…‘

Yeah, continuous surveillance is required, because you never know where the marines will be deployed next. Got it.

‘The GEIS-N conducts surveillance that is designed to provide near-real time data on infectious disease threats to inform DOD decision-makers…‘

… hammering home that this, indeed, is real-time.

Next comes several pages, essentially outlining how you can make a bit of money, selling out your common man, by improving the surveillance grid.

We’ve covered most bits here already, but let me pick a few -

‘This End State will be achieved through an integrated and collaborative laboratory network conducting surveillance across human, animal, and environmental domains, ultimately to improve the health and readiness of U.S. Forces‘

Ie, global, total, and pervasive surveillance.

‘… most wound and trauma infections are derived not only from the point of injury, but rather, through seeding from environmental, skin, or nosocomial routes, surveillance of environmental reservoirs is necessary for understanding routes of transmission. Projects surveilling aggregate source pathways (e.g., water, soil, food, etc.) are strongly encouraged under this surveillance category‘

Ah right, there’s the pitch for more surveillance data. They’re short of information relating to water, soil, and food. Funny. Those are detailed expressly in the One Health Joint Plan of Action 2022-26.

‘Vector-borne and febrile zoonotic pathogens‘, ‘rapid landscape disruption and climate change‘, ‘austere and unstable environments typical of military operations‘ follow on the next pages. Boring by now. Predictable. Though ‘… threat of untreatable gonorrhea’ did amuse me.

Right, so we largely skipped through categories 1 and 2. And what was all this about, again? Oh, yeah - respiratory illness. Oh there it is. Prioritised as item 3 -

‘(e.g., influenza and coronaviruses), and have ‘spilled over’ from animal to human populations in the past‘

Ah, that old chestnut.

‘… enhance global health security by coordinating global surveillance networks that promote rapid detection of respiratory infections, particularly those with pandemic potential…‘

They already surveil some 100 illnesses, but need more?

‘… increased global respiratory surveillance capacity through an integrated and collaborative GEIS laboratory network conducting surveillance across human and animal populations…‘

… is just more of the same.

‘The RI Focus Area encourages alignment of animal influenza surveillance…‘, ‘Expansion of One Health activities should include testing new domains, new animal populations, and/or environmental sampling in new relevant locations of FHP interest. The RI Focus Area prioritizes the characterization of domestic and/or wildlife reservoirs…‘

More animal species, more reservoirs, more environment samples. More, more, more. And it’s not even yet the midnight hour. More, more, more, more, more.

‘While the primary pathogen of interest in this category is influenza, projects that examine other respiratory pathogens within this population (i.e., SARS-CoV-2 circulating in mink) are also of interest if the FHP relevance can be clearly articulated. Animal hosts of interest include (but are not limited to): swine, poultry (chicken, turkey), waterfowl, migratory birds, and bats. Environmental elements of interest include (but are not limited to): farms (free-range, indoor), migratory settings, semi-enclosed settings, residential settings, and open-air markets‘

Literally anything and everything, everywhere, any place, and any time.

Global surveillance. Or perhaps I should just quote them in their own words -

‘This Strategic Plan provides a framework for the next three to five years to guide GEIS-PL surveillance activities around the globe. It will be reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant to the challenges of the future security environment and serves to guide focused and actionable infectious disease surveillance and outbreak response activities that support DOD decision-makers globally.‘

Global surveillance.

The final few pages are here, mainly for purposes of reference, and completeness.

-

So, let’s recap.

• In 1976, the Office of Science and Technology Policy was established.

• In 1996, the OSTP advised Clinton, rolling out global surveillance.

• In 1997, GEIS was established under the DoD.

• In 2023 the above report was released, detailing how all civilian surveillance will be integrated with the Department of Defense over the timeframe 2024-2028.

Oh yeah, and all that Space Force stuff, the amendment pushed by Schumer, etc? Yeah, that includes components related to surveillance as well - and ensuring that no-one interrupts their capacity in that regard.

And as for all the environment stuff, which apparently is of great concern to an organisation which regularly blows up villages before even bothering to get out of bed. Yeah, they have a division in that regard as well.

-

There are a few additional documents which I’d like to cover in this space, including these two, because they’re important.

There’s the ‘Defense, Military, and Security Sector Engagement in Global Health Security’, by ubiquitous EcoHealth Alliance.

And then there’s the ‘2023 Biofedense Posture Review‘ by the Department of Defense. I will be honest with you - I’m not sure I find it of sufficient interest with the above document covered. Because the latter is what made me realise that the WHO data hub isn’t the end station when it comes to all the surveillance data. And the former is what led me on the trail of the second document.

I will leave one comment on the topic here, however. The DoD being behind all of this entirely explains why DARPA are all over this. It explains why NordStream had to go. It explains Niger.

But with that said, it’s time to move on.

Because I’d much rather establish the lead-up to 1975 - how the pandemic planning got started, which initiatives (beside the obvious Digital ID and CBDCs) are incoming should we not manage to bring this to a stop, and finally - who is behind all of this.

To leave you a hint in that regard, let me re-iterate something I’ve stated on a number of occasions. Without central banks, the lockdowns would never have happened. Yields would have spikes almost immediately.

No, the central banks facilitated the lockdowns.

Interdependently.
