Time Text
Yes, you can purchase the Zika virus online, and it was originally sourced from an individual linked to the Rockefeller Foundation.
My name is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Thanks for joining me here on the Health Ranger Report.
Check out my website, naturalnews.com.
And I'm in a unique position to comment on this because I actually run a food science lab and we order external standards and chemicals from supply houses.
For example, lead.
In order for us to search for lead and cadmium, So, we order...
You know, chemicals, heavy metals, toxic heavy metals, but we use them in a very safe manner.
We use them in a manner that is not regulated by, but at least the handling is set by many, many standards organizations.
For example, we're working with ISO right now for international accreditation of our lab, and that's actually coming soon, which is good.
So, you know, we follow EPA methodologies, for example, number 200.8 for testing heavy metals in water and so on and so forth.
So we handle them safely.
But it has always disturbed me that laboratories can go online and purchase biohazard viral cell lines.
I mean, cell lines infected with viruses and so on.
So, with Zika, we started to hear this from the alternative media, and we looked around to see where you could purchase Zika virus, and we found two different places that you could purchase it.
One was the ATCC, which sells various cell lines and all kinds of cells For cancer research, for example, and viral research, so on and so forth.
That's called the ATCC. And then BEI Resources, which is affiliated with ATCC, also sells three different strains of the Zika virus.
There's an MR strain, an IBH strain, and a DAK strain.
I don't know what those mean.
I'm not a viral...
I'm not a virologist.
My specialty is food forensics, not viruses.
You couldn't pay me to work in a viral research facility.
This stuff's too dangerous.
In any case, these online supply houses will sell this to any lab that can demonstrate that it has adequate biosafety level 2 or level 2 biohazard defenses, let's say, or a lab that's suitable for handling level 2.
Now, I wonder why is Zika only level 2?
Because isn't Ebola level 4?
I think it is.
I'm pretty sure it is.
So Zika, not as contagious and aggressive as Ebola, but shouldn't it deserve a level 3 designation?
I don't know.
Again, I'm not a virologist, so I didn't...
I'm not the best qualified person to answer that question, but I'm asking it.
Why is it only level 2?
In any case, you can buy this online if you own a lab.
So, you can build a lab, you can achieve level 2 biohazard safety accreditation, and then you can just go on here and you can order Zika virus for $516, and then you can, from there, you can, in effect, grow your own Zika virus cell lines.
And this is done for research, of course.
We need to have science labs Having the ability to acquire this.
Otherwise, how are you going to test various treatments or interventions against Zika virus, right?
So there's a legitimate scientific reason to source this and for it to be available to labs.
But my concern is that what about...
A bioterrorist intent in some organization, doesn't even have to be in the U.S., could be overseas somewhere, that wants to attack a U.S. city, like Miami, for example, with the Zika virus.
Couldn't they simply build a lab?
A biohazard level 2 lab, which might cost, let's say, $10 million.
And couldn't they just acquire this?
And other viruses?
Couldn't they acquire Ebola if they wanted?
Sure they could.
The answer is yes.
So they could buy Zika, they could buy Ebola, they could buy bird flu, and then they could play with it.
And if they had an evil intent, they could use various genetic engineering techniques that are more readily available and lower cost today than ever before.
And they could alter these viruses and they could test them on various populations.
Now some people say this is already happening in Africa.
That seems to be where all these get tested according to some people.
I'm not a virologist so I don't know for sure.
However, theoretically it seems like this is very easy for some terrorist organization to pull off if that's their intent.
And so it makes me wonder, how safe are we really in a society where, in the name of science, anybody can build a lab and go purchase Zika virus and genetically engineer alterations to it and then multiply those viral...
Well, not fragments, but full live viruses.
They could multiply cells containing the viruses.
They could very easily find a way to distribute this in a public place.
So we're talking about bioterrorism.
It just seems incredibly easy to pull this off if you're a terrorist organization, and this has me concerned.
What's my answer to this?
What's my solution?
Well, I think we need stronger regulatory controls on these deadly viral strains, if you ask me.
I mean, I love the fact that as a lab, I can purchase external standards for lead and cadmium and so on.
Those are really relatively safe because they're in low concentrations, you know.
I mean, relatively low concentrations.
But a viral fragment that's alive, that can be multiplied, right?
I mean, I can't buy lead and then multiply the lead.
Can't make lead, right?
If I use it up, I have to buy more.
And also, if I release lead into the environment, you know, or if some terrorist organization bought lead...
And release it into the environment, it wouldn't be any different than what the city of Flint, Michigan is already doing to hundreds of thousands of people and children there.
It's not like lead self-replicates, right?
So the margin of safety is very high because lead is not a self-replicating toxin.
And it's already being put into people's bodies by the government itself in the form of old corroded water pipes and so on.
And rice protein from China, by the way.
That's the other source where you get a lot of lead.
But viruses are a whole different category.
Viruses, obviously, are self-replicating.
So if someone releases a virus, it can multiply.
It can infect, multiply in someone's blood, and then be spread from person to person.
It's a pandemic, or it could be a pandemic.
So the danger is significantly higher.
It's not even a linear equation.
You can't even say...
It's 10 times higher.
No, it's potentially infinitely higher because it can spread logarithmically from person to person depending on the incubation time of the virus, the transmission effectiveness of the virus, and so on and so forth.
These other numbers determine that.
Nevertheless, it's potentially putting the entire human race at risk, you know, theoretically.
Although Zika virus wouldn't survive in colder climates, we know that.
So you would say, well, it's more of a risk to those living closer to the equator, more of a tropical climate.
But that includes Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, many, many regions of Central and South America, obviously.
Lots of areas of the world.
Many, many parts of Africa.
I mean, this is a very serious threat to humanity.

Naturalnews.com is the website where you can find my articles on this subject.
In fact, I have an article on this exact topic, the Zika virus, with screenshots showing that you can buy this at ATCC, BEI Resources, and so on.
So check out those websites.
Now, one last thing.
The Rockefeller Foundation link.
I had read online that this was patented by the Rockefeller Foundation, but I was not able to confirm that.
I could not find any patent documentation whatsoever.
What I found instead was that a Rockefeller Foundation researcher named what was Dr.
Jordi Casals, a Spaniard.
Who joined the Rockefeller Foundation sometime in the 1950s, I believe.
He had identified the Zika virus from monkeys or primates.
I don't remember which subspecies, but primate species in Africa.
And that he had then isolated that virus and had deposited it into the library, if you will, of viral species that are used to this day for viral research.
And this guy, Dr. Casals, was almost killed by the Lhasa virus in 1969.
Now, he died in 2004 at the age of 90.
He wasn't killed by a virus, but he almost was killed by the virus.
And back in those days in the 1950s and 60s and 70s, these viral researchers had no idea what they were doing.
They were infecting themselves and each other.
All the time.
They did not have proper safety precautions against these viral strains, and so they often were killed by the very things that they were investigating.
Many, many of these researchers died from the viruses they were looking into.
Which just goes to show you that science doesn't know everything.
And sometimes scientists, even when they have the best intentions, can make horrible mistakes that can kill themselves or kill other people.
Now, many people believe that is part of what's happening right now with Zika.
They believe, and there's some evidence pointing to this, That Zika virus may be spreading due to, in part, the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Brazil.
And that there's a link here.
And I've talked about that on naturalnews.com.
I've looked at some of that that's going on.
So you can search for Zika virus on Natural News if you want to see that story.
And that's a very important line of inquiry, if you ask me.
Because scientists who are in the realm of genetic engineering tend to be extremely arrogant and extremely foolish.
They are, in effect, high IQ idiots.
That sounds contradictory, right?
But it isn't.
They're technicians.
They know how to do things that are very technical skills, so they have a high IQ, but they're very, very foolish in understanding the long-term implications of their own research and technology and experiments in the wild and so on.
So they think, oh, let's release a billion mosquitoes and we'll make them infertile.
So they mate with these other mosquitoes and then they all die off and then malaria is solved.
This is the way they think, which is foolish.
They don't realize, well, wait a minute, Mother Nature is going to have a mutation.
Mother Nature is going to find a way to make these mosquitoes live, and there are other chemicals in the environment that are going to alter the outcome of these mosquitoes, such as tetracycline, that antibiotic used in livestock.
And all of a sudden, the die-off curve shifts dramatically, and now more of them are living than they were supposed to.
And now there's an out-of-control, genetically-engineered mosquito experiment running in Brazil with unknown consequences.
And that is all true.
That is all 100% verified true.
They're running a massive experiment on the ecosystem and They don't know what the outcomes are going to be.
They don't know they can claim to know But it's just like all the doctors who used to prescribe these toxic drugs like thalidomide that cause children to be born without their limbs.
Yeah, those doctors thought they knew what they were doing too.
Those drug companies and the FDA thought they knew what they were doing.
It's arrogance and foolishness combined.
And that's what leads to these kinds of disasters.
So we could be looking at an ecological disaster here.
We could be looking at the first major genetic engineering mistake that has radically multiplied in the wild and has caused massive human suffering as a result.
Now, I'm on the record predicting all this.
In 2012, I believe it was, I published a warning that said, stop out-of-control science.
Now just to be clear, I'm not opposed to science.
I'm a scientist.
I use state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation in my food research laboratory.
I'm very much pro-science as one method of acquiring knowledge and understanding the world around us.
But science has to be balanced with ethics.
If you don't balance science with ethics, you get, you know, out of control, genetically modified chimeras, a hybrid human-animal, you know, anything goes.
And then you end up with horrible, horrible mistakes and genetic pollution, ultimately crop failures, ultimately monstrous deformities in humans as they make mistakes trying to make genetically modified super soldiers or whatever is on their minds.
And you can bet soldiers are part of it, especially in China.
We need to be very, very cautious.
We have entered a realm in the history of humanity where we have powerful technology to alter the genetic code of every living system, including viruses, and yet we have a childish lack of maturity,
a childish mentality, and unlimited foolishness in the scientific community, which is driven almost entirely by profit and ego and a desire to be famous And publish science papers and invent this and invent that rather than a desire to be cautious.
Because as far as I know, this is the only planet that can support life right now.
If we screw up this one, we have nowhere else to go.
You're not going to live on Mars.
How are you going to breathe?
How are you going to get water?
How are you going to live on Mars?
You can't live on Venus.
You're going to live on the moon.
And brave the asteroids striking you every day?
And you don't even have an ionosphere?
How are you going to avoid the solar radiation?
You know, look, Earth is the only planet we have for the moment, and if we screw this up, the consequences are theoretically unlimited in terms of damaging potential.
This is why science must be held in check by ethics and morals and caution.
And that is the most important message of our time, I believe.
And this is why I dedicate my scientific work to looking at the contaminants in food, such as heavy metals and pesticides, herbicides, and so on.
So, anyway, if you want to follow my work, go to labs.naturalnews.com.
We've got a lot of really exciting announcements coming up this year throughout 2016.
Opened up a whole new organic chemistry section in the lab, which is really, truly fun and fascinating.
I'll bring you a lot of videos on that.
We're still looking at heavy metals in various foods.
We're about to retest all the protein products that we tested two years ago.
Going to bring you the latest updates on proteins.
And we have a lot of other projects coming up as well.
So check all that out.
It's going to blow your mind when you find out what we are finding and documenting in foods.
So thanks for listening.
This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
