“So few people even understand the bones of these technologies. Mostly the tests are performed centrally or involve reference to a central database. “ BINGO. This includes most of the “experts” running these black boxes. If you challenge them they have no cogent comeback. Many choose to attack. It’s Monty Python’s “machine that goes PING!” Sketch. As I heard Bret W (I know many folks can’t stand him but in any case) say in a podcast, the most important phrase in science shouldn’t be “eureka, that’s it!” It should be, “hmm that’s funny…” there is nothing but “that’s funny” in the whole Covid deception.

BW quoting Asimov sans attribution is classic BW

Incoming NIH director has not exactly asked or answered tough questions about his Next Pandemic views - which is what happens when Permitted Dissent goes underchallenged and people build hedges of protection around their heroes, friends, and colleagues.

Hopefully, the Overton window will shift soon

Tbh he may have said it was Asimov - I listen to these things at 2x while doing something else. In any case good to know!

Jessica, have you ever considered that there might have been something "real" (though not a virus) that was being detected by PCR tests? I ask because I remember sometime between 2017-2019 I was living in NYC and was shocked to see signs posted around a few subway stations that said some kind of biological testing was underway. I never forgot that and only recently decided to go back and research what it was. I've confirmed that DHS was testing the spread of "aerosol-dispensed biological agents" in collaboration with various national research labs, as part of what was called the "Underground Transport Restoration (UTR) project. They used a product called "DNATrax" which uses "synthetic DNA" to create "tracer particles" that they could then follow to see how biological agents (weapons) might spread through a city's subway system. Based on my [amateur] research, it's possible for these tracer particles to be engineered to resemble a virus, land in one's nose, and be detected as such by PCR tests.

Hi Peter. Good question and yes, I knew about those testing exercises, but not the specifics you are mentioning.

Can you provide links to documents, etc, and then we'll talk further about it here? TY.

Sounds good. Despite all the info I'm about to share below, I still haven't gone super deep into all of this - so let me know if you'd like me to investigate any particular aspects further.

DNATrax ("DNA-Tagged Reagents for Aerosol eXperiments") was invented at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) by a guy named Dr. George Farquar. This technology/product seems to have spun off into a company called DNATrek, which has since been rebranded (or acquired?) under a company called SafeTraces (safetraces.com) that now focuses its application in HVAC systems and "rapid pathogen detection and mitigation."

To start with, here are some websites and articles (the first being a good overview that encompasses info about the technology and the testing in NYC):

1. Undated - "Novel Microparticles Boost Ability to Understand Aerosol Transport of Biological Threats" (2016 or after): https://gs.llnl.gov/biosecurity-center/aerosol-transport

2. 2016 - "The Department of Homeland Security Will Test Bioterror Airflow in New York Subway System" (May 2016): https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/05/dhs-will-test-bioterror-airflow-in-nyc-subway.html

3. 2016 - "LLNL supports NYC subway biodefense test" (June 2016): https://www.llnl.gov/article/42356/llnl-supports-nyc-subway-biodefense-test

Here's how the technology works according to ChatGPT:

- Tagging: DNATrax microparticles are embedded with unique synthetic DNA sequences to function as molecular barcodes.

- Identification: DNA barcodes are retrieved and amplified using PCR, allowing precise detection.

- Tracking: Different DNATrax batches can be differentiated, enabling researchers to track multiple dispersion patterns at the same time.

Here are some very technical articles and a video (with #6 being the easiest to understand):

1. 2014 - R&D 100 Award: DNATrax could revolutionize air quality detection and tracking (April 2014): https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1143634 (there's a link to a video in here).

They write: "DNATrax are particles comprised of sugar and synthetic DNA that serve as a bar code for the particle. The potential for creating unique bar-coded particles is virtually unlimited." However, note that the term "barcodes" refers to unique sequences of DNA that serve as identifiers for tracking and distinguishing different samples or materials.

4. 2016 - "Unique DNA-barcoded aerosol test particles for studying aerosol transport" (March 2016): https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1259759

5. 2017- "Particle integrity, sampling, and application of a DNA-tagged tracer for aerosol transport studies" (2017): https://d.lib.msu.edu/etd/6696

6. 2020 - Technology Summary DNATRAX (February 2020): https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1605063

Note: On the last page of this summary, there is reference to another project that ran from 2018-2021, but I can't find any information about it. I believe they were still running these "tests" in NYC in 2018 and after, as I only officially moved there in December 2017 and I'm almost certain I saw the signs in the subway after this period. A lot of the documentation makes it seem like these tests stopped in 2017.

The Covidcene Era is all about a meticulously curated mind virus, nothing less.
