"Weaponizing ticks, Fleas and Mosquitos is a poor Man's Nuke. It can kill tens of thousands of people at a US$ 1.33 a life." - Kris Newby, in an interview with Tucker Carlson
In her interview with Tucker Carlson, Kris Newby says according to Willy Burgdorfer, a researcher at Fort Detrick's bio-weapon lab, bites from infected ticks, cause Rickettsia, also called "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever" and that is the deadliest tick-borne disease. It was a germ being weaponized by the US military.
In an earlier interview by Kris Newby with Willy Burgdorfer, he revealed having spent over a decade as a contractor at the biological weapons plant at Fort Detrick, Maryland, weaponizing fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Stuffing fleas with the plague, stuffing mosquitoes with the deadly Trinidad virus, and then stuffing ticks with either deadly or incapacitating diseases like relapsing fever, Venezuela equine encephalitis, rabies, leptospirosis.
It is like Doctor Strangelove, making new diseases, mixing bacteria and viruses in ticks and other insects, with the intent of this being the perfect stealth weapon - low-cost killing and leaving infrastructure intact. It is a poor man's nuke.
The plan is these insects are dropped on an enemy. It weakens the population, it ties up the medical resources but it does not destroy infrastructure, like a nuclear bomb would. A bean counter (accountant) in the military said, with "tick-borne tularemia, also called rabbit fever, we can kill 10,000 people at US$ 1.33 a life."
For further clarification, Willy Burgdorfer is the scientist who discovered the Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi. Ms. Newby discusses Burgdorfer's dual role as both Lyme disease discoverer and a researcher involved in Cold War-era bug-borne bioweapons programs. She indicates that Burgdorfer's work on weaponizing ticks and his later revelations about the secretive nature of these projects (in an act of conscience?) are central to understanding Lyme disease's origins and spread.
Tucker's comment at the end of the interview,
"It is hard to digest all this. It is just so evil. It is hard to believe that this could happen in the United States and may still happen today."
Of course, it is happening today.

rumble.comOn Kris Newby: Although she did not work as a scientist or researcher directly at Fort Detrick's highest-level bioweapons laboratories, she has a professional background as an engineer and science writer, including work in Silicon Valley and later as a communications manager at Stanford Medical School.
In her investigative research for the book Bitten (see this reference to her book " Bitten") and related projects, Ms. Newby uncovered and studied extensive historical documents and accounts related to bioweapons research conducted at the entomological warfare division of Fort Detrick in Maryland, where scientists, including Willy Burgdorfer, had worked on weaponizing ticks and other arthropods.
Ms. Newby explains further that fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes were stuffed with an infectious agent like plague, yellow fever, and rickettsia. The goal was to mass produce these infected arthropods with the capability of dispersing them via cluster bombs or aerial spraying over target areas.
An arthropod is an insect with a segmented body, a hard outer shell called an exoskeleton, and jointed appendages like legs. This group is the largest in the animal kingdom, making up about 75% of all known species and including all types of insects.
This weaponization program involves freeze-drying and milling pathogens to make aerosols for broad dispersal, with ticks and other insects as delivery vectors due to their ability to inject pathogens directly and evade protective measures like masks. This biological warfare approach is aimed at causing high casualties at low cost with stealth delivery.
Thus, Newby concludes that multiple arthropod vectors-ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes-all weaponized with germs in secret military experiments may in the future be used for biological warfare, contributing to outbreaks of insect-borne diseases. The "kill benefits" are enormous: low-cost culling of masses and leaving infrastructure intact - hence, the poor man's nuke.
Bill Gates is already experimenting with this technology in Brazil and elsewhere, under the pretext of new public health biotechnologies in the global South. See this.
There may be more to these secret bio-weapon programs than meets the eye. Could it be that they may replace heavy and expensive, all destructive weapon systems - tanks, bombs, fighter planes, missiles, nuclear warheads? And highly cost-effectively killing people, leaving infrastructure undamaged?
May this be the reason why the World Economic Forum (WEF), UN and especially WHO - and, of course, those who pull the strings behind these organizations - are so adamant in getting all 194 WHO member countries subscribing to the new modified International Health Regulations (IHR) to the Pandemic Treaty? All treaties (not contracts; the difference, treaties are legally not binding) oblige governments to obey WHO pandemic orders, beyond national sovereign health policies.
And with the menacing stick in the back (the type "or else" stick), most, if not all, governments may obey.
Could this also be the reason why the "climate change" (hoax) is suddenly under the wings and responsibility of WHO? Because "climate change" favors the appearance of insects, old and new ones, with deadly diseases, also old and new ones - that MUST be treated with "vaccines"?
This would be a double whammy for the UN Agenda 2030's primary goal: population reduction at any cost, first by insect bites, second by the new mRNA injections called "vaccines."
May we just hope and pray for people to wake up before this happens - coupled with digital money, digital ID, digital everything, the digital gulag, the end life in freedom, as we used to know it.
