1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,900 In my opinion, the promoted fear of the current avian influenza strain is one example of disease X, which the World Health Organization has been warning of. 2 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,400 However, avian influenza is not the threat to human health that is being promoted to be. 3 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:31,380 To the best of my knowledge, there have been no documented human deaths from this version of bird flu, and there is no evidence that it is being transmitted from human to human in a regular or sustained fashion. 4 00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:39,160 This appears to be another example of psychological bioterrorism, which is the focus of this lecture. 5 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:57,000 This discussion is augmented by the 2017 disclosures of Dr. Alexander Kozmanov, an ex-intelligence operative who worked for the Soviet-Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, or SVR, during the 1980s and 1990s, 6 00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:08,560 and who specialized in intelligence operations involving bioweapons-related activities in target countries before he resigned from the SVR and immigrated to New Zealand. 7 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880 So, what is psychological bioterrorism? 8 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:22,320 Psychological, or information bioterrorism, involves the use of fear of an infectious disease to control people and their behavior. 9 00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:33,120 It is a very effective method for mass manipulation of populations and works by creating a state of heightened anxiety and fear of death in the people who are targeted. 10 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:45,340 This fear is often grounded in misleading, poorly documented historical stories, essentially folktales or parables, about historic pandemics of very dangerous diseases. 11 00:01:46,120 --> 00:02:01,360 Often, these parables have little relevance to modern society, with its sophisticated sanitary practices, hospital networks, and wide spectrum of antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. 12 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:10,060 One example of such a story is the tale of the global Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918. 13 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:18,900 This story has long been used to justify the need for mass annual influenza vaccination to avoid a future influenza pandemic. 14 00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,260 But this story is misleading folklore. 15 00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:30,180 It has been repeated for over a century since these events occurred, and yet it still incites deep fear in the minds of many. 16 00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:44,000 The truth is that the waves of mass death from infectious disease, which did occur around 1918, were not really due to the H1N1 influenza strain, or Spanish flu, 17 00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:53,600 which did in fact infect and cause upper respiratory sickness in many people all over the world, but did not actually cause mass death. 18 00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:05,080 Instead, current scientific analysis indicates that these deaths were primarily due to bacterial pneumonia, which co-circulated with the H1N1 influenza virus, 19 00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:11,580 and together with inappropriate use of non-pharmaceutical public health measures, including masks, 20 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,200 and inappropriate dosing with a newly discovered pharmaceutical drug, which we know as aspirin. 21 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,760 A much more nuanced reality, but not one that supports the need for annual influenza vaccination. 22 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,660 The recent global surge in propaganda concerning the strain of H5N1, or avian influenza, 23 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:37,120 that is now circulating in large chicken flocks and a wide range of wild birds, 24 00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:45,220 provides a great case study of how a psychological or information bioterrorism event campaign is crafted and deployed. 25 00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:49,900 So what makes psychological bioterrorism effective? 26 00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:55,900 The main component and after-effects of this new form of mass manipulation include the following. 27 00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,880 First, there's a time factor. 28 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:06,300 Psychological bioterrorism provides a practical method for immediate global transmission and development of widespread panic 29 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,660 through electronic means of communication. 30 00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:12,660 Second, there's a vulnerability factor. 31 00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:19,760 People feel helplessness when confronting this threat due to the lack of effective means of defense. 32 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:26,860 This creates panic among the general population, which can then be directed or exploited to support other objectives. 33 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520 Third, an uncertainty factor. 34 00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:35,880 The lack of factual information about the source of the bioterror threat and its spread 35 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,720 creates an opportunity to manipulate masses of people by those that initiate the threat. 36 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Initiating and promoting a psychological bioterror event creates an opportunity to craft and promote an explanation of the event 37 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,960 and to fashion propaganda narratives which serve to support other, typically hidden, objectives. 38 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:08,880 In the case of the current bird flu narrative, these objectives may include promoting acceptance of mRNA-based genetic vaccination of dairy cattle 39 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:16,120 and promoting the objective of culling cattle herds to mitigate the acclaimed effects of cattle on CO2 emissions 40 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440 and thereby global warming. 41 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Fourth, there's a lack of control factor. 42 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,800 Every person who accepts the promoted bioterror narrative develops and internalizes a sense of being out of control 43 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:39,700 because he or she is a suspicious object liable to have the disease and therefore is a threat to everyone else. 44 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:45,920 This creates chronic internal anxiety in those vulnerable to the bioterror campaign 45 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,960 which is then easily manipulated by promotion of narratives requiring compliance with a series of actions 46 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,920 effective or ineffective 47 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,160 which serve to create a sense of purpose, identity, and belonging to an in-group 48 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,580 that have achieved protected status from the manufactured bioterror threat 49 00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:07,540 by performing a ritual or modifying their behavior in some way. 50 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:12,920 So who deploys psychological bioterrorism? 51 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Large-scale psychological bioterrorism or information bioterrorism 52 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,140 or information biological blackmail is another term 53 00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:28,460 is usually secretly deployed by foreign or domestic intelligence or security services 54 00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:32,380 and is implemented as an active operation in target countries 55 00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:35,260 using a variety of witting or unwitting allies. 56 00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:40,860 The existence and deployment of an active psychological bioterror operation 57 00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:46,380 can be detected as a scripted series of active operational deployment stages 58 00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:51,780 each involving well-defined strategies, actors, roles, and responsibilities. 59 00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:58,500 These strategies, actors, roles, and responsibilities include the following. 60 00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:02,360 First, an active operation. 61 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,300 This is an activity of a secret service, typically a foreign intelligence service 62 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:13,000 which is aimed at a target audience, an object it wants to influence 63 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,040 and is carried out at the request of an interested party 64 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,580 with supporters and auxiliary means 65 00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:22,800 in order to achieve the required planned impacts. 66 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640 An active operation is carried out with the support of agents, 67 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,620 supporting persons, and interested organizations. 68 00:07:31,940 --> 00:07:35,320 Usually, the intelligence or security service, 69 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,940 mercenary or government-associated, 70 00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:42,080 conducts the active operation using false flags, 71 00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:45,220 third-party agents or cut-out organizations. 72 00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:49,260 In other words, it hides its main objectives under the cover 73 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:53,040 of a politically neutral, non-governmental organization, 74 00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,480 a government bureaucracy, 75 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,620 an academic institution, 76 00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:02,500 or otherwise hides its goals under some kind of a falsely crafted problem. 77 00:08:03,620 --> 00:08:06,880 These agents, supporting persons, and organizations 78 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,680 can include networks of interested parties 79 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,900 that share similar, related, or complementary objectives. 80 00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,180 So, let's define what are the interested parties. 81 00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:21,460 During the Cold War, interested parties were usually the government 82 00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:25,760 or its special or secret services, normally foreign intelligence. 83 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,620 Today, the interested party could be a single corporate conglomerate, 84 00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:35,500 pharmaceutical companies, banks, or other large financial consortia, 85 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,880 corporatist associations, 86 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,400 national or global non-governmental organizations, 87 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,400 such as the World Health Organization, 88 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:45,760 private and political groups, 89 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,600 lobbyists, etc. 90 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,320 Who's the target? 91 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,360 The objects or target audience of an active operation 92 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,520 may be governments, 93 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,580 high-ranking military officials, 94 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,380 secret services of the enemy, 95 00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:03,820 political parties, banks, 96 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:04,880 companies, etc., 97 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,680 as well as ordinary populations 98 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,240 where the aim is to cause 99 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400 some kind of an impact and effect. 100 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,380 Now, here's another key definition. 101 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,120 Who is the executor? 102 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360 The executor is some form of secret service, 103 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,140 generally, but not necessarily foreign intelligence. 104 00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:29,280 Usually, the executor carries out the active operations 105 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680 using one or more false flag operations, 106 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,720 which means that it masquerades the true operation 107 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,140 by covering it up with a false story or threat. 108 00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:42,880 Who are the supporters of these campaigns? 109 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,340 Examples of supporters include academics, 110 00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:50,560 influencers in the entertainment, social media, or arts, 111 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,500 and neutral third parties. 112 00:09:53,140 --> 00:09:55,280 The latter are not with the secret service. 113 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,280 These can help the executor or secret service 114 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,920 or intelligence community 115 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160 to realize the active operations. 116 00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:06,740 Supporters are typically recruited 117 00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,520 using a wide variety of means, 118 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,400 including direct overt payments 119 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,720 involving fee-for-service agreements 120 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,520 and more covert indirect payments or incentives. 121 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,420 Who's the mass media? 122 00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:25,460 The role played by mass, corporate, and or social media 123 00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:30,000 is to implement active operations by auxiliary means. 124 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,340 Mass media, corporate press, and social media 125 00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:34,940 is one of the key ways 126 00:10:34,940 --> 00:10:36,940 in which an active operation is implemented. 127 00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:40,360 The executor, or the intelligence community, 128 00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:44,660 uses mass media to achieve the maximum impact 129 00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:47,540 on the target audience or object of influence. 130 00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:51,200 For example, by raising a threat, 131 00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:53,960 spreading rumors, and promoting false information. 132 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,160 All of this is really for spreading disinformation 133 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,700 in order to distract from the true operation 134 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:02,020 or to masquerade it. 135 00:11:03,460 --> 00:11:05,820 Finally, what are the planned impacts? 136 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,880 Information strategy and objectives 137 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360 sent out to impact a specific audience 138 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,800 have to be sharp. 139 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,440 It's important to influence the intended object. 140 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,960 Information is put together purposefully, 141 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,700 usually as a threat or a big problem, 142 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,920 as if it's a real problem. 143 00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:29,060 The target audience should never doubt the information 144 00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:30,840 and should have no awareness 145 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800 of who or what is planning 146 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,100 and guiding the messaging and distribution. 147 00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:40,360 So then, what are the main stages 148 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,900 of a psychological bioterrorism active operation, 149 00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,900 now that we've defined the players and the activities? 150 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,700 The approach used to carry out the active operation 151 00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:53,860 is based on a crafted strategy. 152 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,520 First, messaging about the problem 153 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,380 and then its solution is deployed. 154 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,980 The main stages of the active operation 155 00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:04,720 through which the psychological bioterror event 156 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,460 can be created are as follows. 157 00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,100 Phase one. 158 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,840 The executor, in other words, the intelligence service, 159 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,220 with the help of supporters, 160 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:15,780 in other words, agents, 161 00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:17,280 and auxiliary means, 162 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,280 in other words, mass media, 163 00:12:20,180 --> 00:12:21,720 throws out false information, 164 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,960 in our case, 165 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,880 that there's an imminent pandemic of bird flu, 166 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,120 into the target audience, 167 00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:29,400 in other words, the public, 168 00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:31,540 with a pretense that it's real. 169 00:12:32,860 --> 00:12:33,680 Phase two. 170 00:12:34,940 --> 00:12:37,400 Executors, supporters, and auxiliary means 171 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,660 accelerate the problem, 172 00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:40,120 making it a hot topic. 173 00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:42,920 Maximum interest needs to be created. 174 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,580 Once the false problem is created, 175 00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:46,760 it grows like a snowball, 176 00:12:47,140 --> 00:12:47,900 rolling and rolling, 177 00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:49,640 independently building size, 178 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,600 as though it's becoming a legitimate concern. 179 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,240 Then we reach phase three. 180 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,420 The actual objective of the operation 181 00:12:58,420 --> 00:13:00,100 is realized secretly. 182 00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,420 Monetary gains are obtained. 183 00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,740 Government stability is undermined. 184 00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:07,240 Ergo, that causes economic loss. 185 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,980 And any other planned impacts are achieved. 186 00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:12,840 As phase three is achieved, 187 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,740 the target, or general population, 188 00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:16,920 is told that the problem is being solved 189 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,360 and the risks are contained. 190 00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:22,020 This is done with sideline information, 191 00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:24,520 news stories, social media posts, 192 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,660 interviews, etc. 193 00:13:26,420 --> 00:13:29,660 However, ideally, the problem is left hanging, 194 00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:32,840 so that the executor or intelligence service 195 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,360 can use it again. 196 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360 Ideally, having successfully crafted, 197 00:13:38,620 --> 00:13:40,780 inserted, and amplified the fear narrative, 198 00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:43,320 the general sense of fear and anxiety 199 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,220 about the risks of the psychological 200 00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:47,080 bioterror threat agent, 201 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,120 in this case avian influenza or bird flu, 202 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600 should be maintained at a low level 203 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,380 so that it's easy to resurrect for future use. 204 00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:59,020 Now, how about a practical example? 205 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,380 What's involved in deploying psychological bioterrorism? 206 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,500 First, you have to create the problem. 207 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,580 There needs to be some report 208 00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:12,060 of a local outbreak of avian influenza 209 00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:13,860 in chickens or other animals, 210 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,060 which the interested party can use 211 00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:17,540 to advance its own interests. 212 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,860 This, of course, is false information. 213 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120 Avian influenza is endemic 214 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,140 in a wide range of bird populations. 215 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,340 There can also be a report 216 00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:30,220 that it's a supposed leak 217 00:14:30,220 --> 00:14:32,880 from a secret military medical laboratory, 218 00:14:33,380 --> 00:14:34,440 academic laboratory, 219 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,880 or army biodefense research center. 220 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000 Such a situation can be crafted 221 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,200 by the executor or secret service 222 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240 deliberately to create great interest, 223 00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:45,400 awe, and fear. 224 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,540 Next step is to snowball the problem. 225 00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:53,000 Media, remember we define those 226 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,280 as auxiliary means, 227 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,060 including supporters or agents of influence, 228 00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:59,280 starts to heat the public. 229 00:15:00,620 --> 00:15:02,000 Front pages of newspapers, 230 00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:05,320 TV channels, internet, social media, 231 00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:08,080 are already there with alarming titles. 232 00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,120 Highly pathogenic virus, 233 00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:12,100 new contagious disease, 234 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,760 new flu outbreak into a pandemic. 235 00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:16,960 Be ready for corpses, 236 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,460 flu plan says. 237 00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:20,420 All heightening the threat 238 00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:21,620 and scaring everyone. 239 00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:25,640 Mass media and interested organizations 240 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,760 issue warnings, 241 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,780 signs, and messages like, 242 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:29,200 quote, 243 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040 the disease breaks human-to-human barrier 244 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,740 and predict that 245 00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:36,540 the disease would infect 246 00:15:36,540 --> 00:15:38,620 up to millions of people globally. 247 00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:40,240 For example, 248 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:40,980 quote, 249 00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:42,540 a super flu could kill 250 00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:44,440 up to 1.9 million Americans 251 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,660 according to a draft 252 00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:46,700 of the government's plan 253 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:48,240 to fight a worldwide epidemic. 254 00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:52,780 Third stage, 255 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,980 the problem becomes a hot topic. 256 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,340 Health authorities, 257 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,600 senior officials, 258 00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,480 experts, 259 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,660 and agents of influence 260 00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:02,000 express concerns 261 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,820 that a virus will mutate 262 00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:04,620 into a form 263 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:05,280 that can spread 264 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,700 from one human to another. 265 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:08,140 And this will lead 266 00:16:08,140 --> 00:16:09,480 to a worldwide pandemic 267 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,000 and claim that 268 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,300 an influenza pandemic 269 00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,280 would likely lead 270 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,180 to high rates 271 00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:15,080 of morbidity 272 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,860 or sickness 273 00:16:15,860 --> 00:16:16,920 and mortality 274 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,740 or death. 275 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,140 For example, 276 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:19,780 quote, 277 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,500 the death toll 278 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,840 from a human pandemic 279 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,940 of avian influenza 280 00:16:23,940 --> 00:16:24,780 could be anything 281 00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,880 from 5 to 150 million. 282 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,280 Also, 283 00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:29,520 quote, 284 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,300 there's no time to waste. 285 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,460 The virus, 286 00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:33,180 bird flu, 287 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,160 could ignite 288 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360 the next human flu epidemic. 289 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,980 I did not need 290 00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:39,680 to tell you 291 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,380 of the terrible consequences 292 00:16:41,380 --> 00:16:42,140 that could bring 293 00:16:42,140 --> 00:16:43,320 to all nations 294 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,140 and all peoples. 295 00:16:46,460 --> 00:16:47,560 Fourth stage, 296 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,500 aggravating a problem 297 00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,100 and starting 298 00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:51,580 to gain planned results. 299 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:53,740 Soon after 300 00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:54,860 all this campaign, 301 00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:56,460 the World Health Organization 302 00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:57,000 may announce 303 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,720 a new strain 304 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,180 or clade 305 00:16:58,180 --> 00:16:59,220 of avian influenza, 306 00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:01,380 a public health emergency 307 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:02,680 of international concern, 308 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,040 and soon 309 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,780 an influenza pandemic alert 310 00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:06,460 is raised 311 00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:07,300 to five 312 00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:08,100 on a six-level 313 00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:08,880 warning scale, 314 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,480 meaning that a pandemic 315 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,580 is considered imminent. 316 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,960 At that stage, 317 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:15,060 governments around the world 318 00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:16,020 have little choice. 319 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,320 Under pressure 320 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,000 from businesses 321 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,760 and citizens, 322 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,280 they must respond 323 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,620 to the WHO's 324 00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:22,840 pandemic declaration 325 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,140 by spending billions 326 00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:24,800 on drugs 327 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,760 and or vaccines 328 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,820 if they're available 329 00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:28,320 and throw 330 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,740 all available resources 331 00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:31,020 at fighting the disease 332 00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:32,080 once the WHO 333 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,720 has declared 334 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,320 the pandemic 335 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:33,980 is underway. 336 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,020 This triggers 337 00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:36,480 a wave 338 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,800 of panic buying 339 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,620 of vaccines 340 00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:39,600 and antivirals 341 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,400 by governments 342 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,340 all around the world, 343 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,600 in many cases 344 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,020 involving far more money 345 00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:44,700 than hundreds 346 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:45,700 of millions of dollars. 347 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,520 Authorized 348 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,020 and interested organizations 349 00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,080 recommend national governments 350 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,060 to use specific antivirals 351 00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:55,360 in flu-fighting drugs 352 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:56,720 or vaccines 353 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,860 and inform them 354 00:17:57,860 --> 00:17:58,540 that a new, 355 00:17:59,500 --> 00:17:59,940 quote, 356 00:18:00,060 --> 00:18:01,440 more effective vaccine 357 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,420 is being developed 358 00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:03,140 and be ready 359 00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:04,100 for use shortly. 360 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,680 Now, 361 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,400 in this scenario, 362 00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:08,600 what's the typical role 363 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,160 of the secret 364

who were deeply embedded 383 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,800 with the pharmaceutical industry 384 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,300 and had a lot to gain 385 00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:40,520 by beating this epidemic 386 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,660 into a pandemic. 387 00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:43,540 Close quote. 388 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,740 The British Medical Journal 389 00:18:45,740 -->

often be 419 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,060 more effective 420 00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:31,680 than the actual damage 421 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,440 that can be caused 422 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,240 by a physical 423 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,320 bioterror event. 424 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,680 First, 425 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,300 psychological bioterrorism, 426 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,160 in comparison 427 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,700 with an act of bioterror, 428 00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:42,500 is not and does not 429 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:43,420 require strategic 430

the threat 457 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,160 is not hidden, 458 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,200 as it would be 459 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:19,680 in the case 460 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,100 of a bioterrorism attack, 461 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:21,900 but rather 462 00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:23,360 it's widely publicized 463 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,200 in the mass media. 464 00:20:24,980 --> 00:20:26,200 The wider the spread 465 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,400 of mass media stories, 466 00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:28,900 the better for the organizers 467 00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:29,800 of the

00:20:39,380 Fourth, 476 00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:40,900 economic losses 477 00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:42,200 from information 478 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,060 bioterrorism 479 00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:44,400 are quite a bit higher 480 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,120 than the costs 481 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,740 of actual bioterrorism. 482 00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:48,360 In the case 483 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,140 of actual bioterrorism, 484 00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:51,120 the loss 485 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,320 for an individual country 486 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,760 in monetary value 487 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,980 may range 488 00:20:54,980 --> 00:20:55,960 from a few hundreds 489 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,560 of thousands 490 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760 to a few hundred million dollars, 491 00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:00,180 taking into account 492 00:21:00,180 --> 00:21:00,660 the loss 493 00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:01,440 for the economy, 494 00:21:01,980 -->

--> 00:21:43,620 to 2007 532 00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:45,260 were estimated 533 00:21:45,260 --> 00:21:46,600 at up to 20 times 534 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,700 higher than SARS 535 00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:49,440 and it's estimated 536 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,280 that it could cost 537 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,240 the Asian economy 538 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,700 up to $283 billion 539
