$161 million secretive US Government biological research program in this former Soviet country.

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

$161 million secretive US Government biological research program in this former Soviet country.

Post by JimmieGonzales »

Leaked e-mails between the Lugar Center, the Pentagon biolaboratory in Tbilisi, the US Embassy to Georgia and the Georgian Ministry of Health reveal new information about the $161 million secretive US Government biological research program in this former Soviet country.US military scientists have been deployed to Georgia for research on bioterrorism agents at the Lugar Center, according to the new data leak. These bio-agents have the potential to be aerosolized and used as bioweapons. Among them anthrax, tularemia, Brucella, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Hantavirus, Y. pestis (causing the disease plague).According to internal data, one of these projects is called the Risk of zoonotic diseases transmitted by bats in Western Asia. The goal is to capture 5,000 bats that are not fatally sampled over five years (2017-2022) and use those samples to perform PCR at regional laboratories in Georgia and Jordan. As it happens, the Pentagon's contractor for the Defense Department's bat research program, the Ecological Health Alliance of America, has also collected bats and isolated coronaviruses.

Looks like a slick, woke, PC version of State Department "News" to me.
