Most Americans have no idea that biological weapons could potentially bring our nation to a complete and utter standstill within a matter of days. In recent articles I have been trying to get people to understand why it would be so exceedingly dangerous for the United States to attack North Korea. If the North Koreans used weapons of mass destruction, we could easily be facing a situation in which millions of North Korean and Japanese citizens end up dead. But since it would happen on the other side of the planet, such a scenario doesn’t seem to emotionally move a lot of people. So today, I want to try to get people to understand the immense devastation that just a handful of North Korean agents could cause inside our own country.
On the one hand, you would think that Jong-un would know better, but then he did turn loose VX is a public airport filled with citizens of every nationality. What would have happened if a couple of Russian citizens tried to grab the girls who delivered the VX and ended up being killed as well? What if something else went wrong, and the girls found themselves flailing inside of a group that tried to detain them, with their VX hands hitting everyone, and they killed twenty people? What about the EMTs who responded, or the morgue workers who handled the body?
An attack on America wouldn’t be that difficult, either. I would think the biggest risk would probably come on the west coast. I could see North Korea infiltrating a small fishing trawler into Canada and then having it work its way south, stationing itself off the US coast somewhere when winds are blowing ashore, using a few leaf blowers to put up a cloud of weaponized anthrax spores that would be carried ashore on the sea breeze.
The US once did a similar test with a “harmless” sentinel species, (Serratia marcescens) blowing it ashore to see how Californians would react medically. It became one of the more notorious tests, though officially they deny that having hundreds of thousands of Americans inhale millions of bacteria each would have any negative effect. The point is that could easily have been an antibiotic-resistant Anthrax strain, which would have done far more damage.
Still, I think the Nork leader is not a techie, so he has probably fixated on nuclear weapons rather than more practical but less flashy options, which is to our advantage for the time being. But it does highlight that as we head into Apocalypse, living away from major population centers will be a good thing for numerous reasons.
In general, when K-selection hits, it hits rabbits. Even when the K-selection is a foreign psycho looking to kill mass quantities of people, he will hit rabbitized regions, with their high population densities, rather than the more K-selected regions with lower population densities and greater self-sufficiency.
As amygdalae the world over light up, anything will be possible.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because the rabbits have a right to know they are going to die
[…] Could North Korea Launch A Biological Attack? […]
Very true AC. Kim’s missile nukes supposedly can reach Honolulu, Anchorage and soon Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton. It would be logical that the Norks would have had functional bio-warfare weapons before they started their nuclear program. They’ve had enough people in their camps to clandestinely test for years, decades even. And Bio programs would be cheap compared to nukes and missiles.
In Tom Clancy’s novel “Executive Orders”, he wrote of a terrorist plot to spread ebola to the United States by releasing aerosol containers at trade conventions. They release them into the air system, which spreads to the floor. Then since it takes several days, as the vendors move on to the next trade show, they spread the Ebola.
I’ve been so glad terrorists don’t seem to read fiction like that. I read another novel about using small boats with bombs to sink tankers in the Straights of Malaca. This would cut off shipping through that channel.
Both scenarios are terrifying. As I said, I’m glad they don’t read our fiction.
There was a paper a long while back. They took the known DNA sequence of I think an adenovirus, and synthesized just the DNA in a DNA synthesizer. Then they mixed it with cultured human epithelial cells, which I think they electroporated, or damaged with mechanical movement, or disrupted with ultrasound, I forget. That opened holes in the membranes and let the viral DNA in, where it promptly set about created more fully formed adenovirus with capsid shells, capable of infecting other cells without needing help to get in. It worked because like DNA transfection of bacteria, you can fail 99.9999999999999999% of the time in a flask with billions of cells, because all you need is one cell that takes up the DNA, survives, and produces a single virus particle, and that one particle can then take off infecting cells and producing more fully formed virus.
Shortly thereafter they began memory-holeing all the published sequences of the more deadly viruses like Smallpox, Ebola, Marburg, etc, and nobody talked about the paper. The frightening part was they could have swapped genes for immunogenic motifs or added immune-bypassing genes, before creating the DNA, maybe making a smallpox which would not look like the vaccine, making the vaccine useless, or which would create something to shut off the immune system.
I hate to think what is cooking in those Russian Bioweapons labs, or probably ours for that matter. But it is not impossible the Norks would have something similar going in a lab somewhere. Could even be US-trained PhDs doing the work, making hybrids we have never seen before and testing the lethality on prisoners.
When you have a guy that nutty, anything can be on the table.
The Soviets were known to have “Super-Smallpox”, which would be very effective since its been so long since people have been selected for normal smallpox. And there were rumors of something that killed 40-50 scientists on an island in the Caspian sea in the 60’s, so who knows what Putin’s got. If you really wanted to be a Globalist Megavillain the main option would be to take Lyssavirus RNA (Rabies) and inject it into a Rhinovirus (Common Cold). That could kill every mammal (humans included) on Earth. The Google guys are probably working on something like that, if they can’t get to Mars or download their consciousness.
What is the evidence that KJU was behind the VXing of his brother? Please do not cite fake news sources.
I can’t point to anything beyond MSM, which is lame. But I would wonder who else would take out a no-name Korean with no prospects to change anything, using VX of all things.
