    This is some wild fucking speculation. You got any basis for this claim or just vibes?

      I just think Trump, like Putin usually tends to use nuclear war threats to intimidate and distract, so I’m less inclined to think a real fear of nuclear threats would be reason for them to move on to a military base.

      Emergent BioSolutions Releases New Survey Findings Revealing Heightened Concerns About Biological Threats and U.S. Preparedness

      This was published 2 days ago by the company that stockpiles vaccines for the U.S. They’ve had all kinds of shady scandals in the past regarding government contracts and vaccinations. They manufacture narcan as well as vaccines for monkey pox, small pox, the only anthrax vaccine, and I think a few others. They used to be called BioPort, but they changed their name after the Anthrax vaccine that many soldiers were forced to get during the gulf war was linked to gulf war syndrome.

      Trump also had some shady dealings with them just before the COVID pandemic to make a lot of money with government contracts and bio warfare https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/before-the-pandemic-top-contractor-received-billions-from-government-to-help-prepare-the-nation-for-biowarfare/2020/06/17/38d9ad3a-a41b-11ea-8681-7d471bf20207_story.html

      Also seems odd that two days ago HHS fired their biosecurity adviser, Steven Hatfill especially given his history.

      How The FBI Botched the 2001 Anthrax Scare Hatfill was falsely accused of being the bioterrorist who sent out anthrax in letters mailed in the U.S. following 9/11. His career was destroyed, and he eventually sued the FBI for harassment and rightfully won.

      I could definitely be wrong about their exact reason for moving on to the base, but I just think something like this would be more likely than a nuclear threat. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem like anything we should not be worried about.

        Yeah, so yeah. Wild speculation. Those are some interesting dots, but they don’t make your unicorn even if you connect them all.

      I think I remember reading about something like this in Biohazard by Ken Alibek: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biohazard_(book)

      Although it might just be easier to do using good old variola (Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston).
