From the Time magazine article a gem that points to actions we can do in our own cities:

"The city of San Carlos, Calif., also recently voted to ban the operation of bio labs that operate at Biosafety Level 3 or 4 within its borders"

Two articles in the mainstream print media I found was a hit piece by AP and a more reflective article by time magazine. Time was careful not to call it a bioweapons lab, though both articles failed to mention the empty refrigerator that was found with an Ebola label. Here's the time article https://time.com/6309643/invisible-biolabs/?fbclid=IwAR0DIOuCT9s2HgsImLXODFt5WQy_1oZ-rT_Isdtp5N1XQkmiQakU5tWB_vA

Here's the AP article link, headline and somewhat contradictory details ... that don't match the headline imo.

An illicit, Chinese-owned lab fueled conspiracy theories. But officials say it posed no danger

"During a March inspection of the lab in Reedley, a city of about 25,000 people some 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco, officials did find infectious agents in the refrigerators including E. coli, coronavirus, malaria, hepatitis B and C, dengue, chlamydia, human herpes, rubella and HIV. But the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there was no sign that the lab was illegally in possession of the materials or had select agents or toxins that could be used as bioweapons. “CDC has taken no further action in this matter,” the agency said in an email to The Associated Press, referring further questions to county and state officials.

KG: What do you think all those lethal pathogens were doing in refrigerators sited in populated areas other than preparing the Chinese Communist Party to kill us all?

Personally I’m not paranoid about CCP as much as I am US level 3 and 4 labs throughout the country who are handling even more lethal pathogens and performing gain of function research. This lab apparently didn’t have gain of function capability … which is why we didn’t label it a bioweapons lab( at least in public ) Let’s not start another Cold War with China.

The CCP is involved in most big businesses , so chances are this was just a business venture. The issue is keeping these types of biolabs and actual bio weapons facilities out of our communities. If you haven’t noticed we have more enemies in the world than ever before and while this was probably a false alarm it is a wake up call for what other nations with a revenge motive could do.

"Dual use" really is a thing. The shady Chinese dude who scarpered was making & selling biological TEST KITS, as well as illegally importing & falsely re labeling Chinese made and non FDA compliant/ineffective test kits for pregnancy and infectious biologicals.

Guess what you need on hand to develop & test infectious disease tests?

The last I heard, the CDC had declined to test a lot of the materials to confirm whether the labels were accurate. The CDC certainly has not come across with good odor in this episode. There is the distinct impression that authorities are hiding something. The only ones covering themselves in glory are the local Reedley authorities.

Years before covid I was learning a great deal about these boondoggle killer industry and all the billions both laundered and used for our health of course. The real bio weapons are those involved, funding and driving it. The nazi eugenicist global bankster mafia that want full control over all countries economic system, dolling out the bribes to enslave them.

what happened to podcast 017? The page won't display, and I couldn't find it on YouTube either

I've been following this story from the very beginning. The owner appears to be a Chinese grifter who started out involved in bull semen and other enterprises in Canada. You can look up the legal documents of the various lawsuits he was involved in there. The California operation was definitely sketchy, but I personally doubt it had anything to do with bioweapons.

What I find interesting is that nobody talks about the fallout of the presumably crappy Covid and pregnancy test kits the "lab" was manufacturing.

Update to add: I just finished listening to the podcast, and they did address the pregnancy test kits which they described as counterfeit. And that's the only thing the FDA prosecuted the manufacturer over.
