Investigative journalist Kris Newby has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that secret bioweapons programs involving insects, conducted by the military and intelligence communities in the United States, may have led to the outbreak of Lyme disease.
In this interview with The New American, Newby discusses the key findings of her book Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons, which reveals shocking details about these covert programs and their potential connection to Lyme disease, which affects over half a million individuals annually. The interview delves into the history of bioweapons research, specifically the bug-borne bioweapons program of the 1950s and 1960s, where insects such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes were explored as carriers of deadly pathogens.
Willy Burgdorfer, a central figure in Newby’s research and the discoverer of Lyme disease, played a crucial role in this program. Burgdorfer, brought to Rocky Mountain Labs in 1951, researched turning arthropods into bioweapons that could be deployed covertly, affecting populations without destroying infrastructure. The writer highlights an alarming experiment involving the release of radioactive lone star ticks in coastal Virginia during the late 1960s, likely contributing to the spread of tick-borne diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Newby stresses the need for transparency, the declassification of relevant records, and further scientific investigation into the genomes of pathogens carried by ticks.
The interview also raises concerns about the lack of oversight during the Cold War bioweapons programs and questions the current safety of biolabs, especially considering the proliferation of bio-level three and bio-level four labs since 9/11. Newby suggests that CRISPR technology, which allows genome manipulation, poses additional risks, and calls for increased regulation and transparency in the field of biodefense.

Ross Douthat, the NYT’s token conservative, has suffered from Lyme for years. Would be interested to see his take on this book.
“We’re from the government, and we are here to help you.”
I woke up when one bit me on my stomach. I carefully pulled it off and put it in a baggie...and circled the bite with a marker. I was fine. But it sure did scare me.
Recall that this is the same Rocky Mountain Labs more recently in the news in light of the disclosure that the NIH was sending bats, obtained from a roadside zoo/animal preserve in Catoctin, Maryland, to RML for virology research.
That is to say, SARS-COV-2, and the resulting COVID "pandemic," was just more-of-the-same from the U.S. military-industrial complex. The "weaponized" borrelia spirochete was a serious biowarfare agent, developed during the Cold War.
SARS-COV-2, one the other hand, was for the most part just a limp-dicked, going-through-the-motions effort by chucklehead mad scientists, like Ralph Baric at UNC, who were just farting around with the taxpayer-provided grant money. The basic idea here, you see, is to develop a "bioweapon" (that nobody was ever actually going to deploy, of course, so why make a very good one?), which, in turn, would set up Tony Fauci at NIAID to pass out even more grant money to develop a "vaccine" against it (which vaccine, of course, would never actually ever be used, because, again, the "bioweapon" agent would never actually be deployed.)
But, hey, all the mad scientists get to slurp down their grant money, and paper-pusher Fauci gets to continue to play the top-dog bureaucrat, with everyone kissing his ring (and his ass) to get some of our money.
We're talking "good enough for government work," where "everybody kicks a goal." That just how this stuff has worked for decades. Except that, this time around, they got a little sloppy, that's all.
WOW!
I mean WOW!!
We need exDemMOM to come on here and tell us that science would not and could not be deployed in such a way./s
Or maybe I am just not being sarcastic enough?
apparently if a person takes ivermectin 30 days in a row, your lyme disease symptoms are gone forever
Got lyme disease a few years back, never even knew I got bit. Found out I had it during a routine blood screening when I went in to my pcp for some perspiration and joint pain issues. Have rheumatoid arthritis now.
Will have to try this.
I was diagnosed with lymes in 2007. Starting in 2013 i started suffering with symptoms that come out of nowhere which were the same as the kung flu when it first started; shortness of breathe, coughing, inflamed lungs, horrible flu like symptoms. I would suffer from it anywhere from 6 days to three weeks. I went to multiple doctors who did lung xrays, blood tests, etc then told me “can’t find anything, you’re fine!!”
Now- i’m very healthy. Workout 7 days a week- 1 1/2 to 2 hours daily, under 13% body fat at 60YO and never got the kung flu vax.
Finally I went to a tickborne illness specialist. These guys are treated just like the doctors who advocated for ivermectin and HCQ during the kung flu pandemic- complete outcasts in the medical community.
He did a blood test and i was positive for babesia- a parasite given off by the lyme tick. It still comes and goes though not as bad and has taken various forms- but i’ll do anything to rid myself of this completely!!!!
indeed! ivermectin is anti-parasitic
friends of a friend had suffered with lyme disease for years
they were taking the ivm for something else and to their astonishment, the lyme disease went away
apparently 30% of cancers are also caused by parasites
some vision problems are reversed by ivm - it truly should be easier obtainable in this country
“Kris Newby: Lyme Disease and America’s Secret Bioweapons Programs”
Another Newby. In before the Zot!!!
Just kidding. But I do think, be it AIDS, Covid, Lyme Disease, or Ebola...if a disease is ‘new’, it’s because someone created it.
An old school folk remedy anti parasitic treatment is pure gum spirits of turpentine (not the commercial stuff you get at Lowes or Home Depot), up to 5 ml, taken with white sugar.

My own father said he was given this as a kid as a “de-wormer.”
He’s still kicking at 88 YO.
I’ve taken it myself with no ill effect, except for “turp burps” for a few hours after taking it.
Thanks...i actually take artemesinin and sweet wormwood

Of course they don’t want ivermectin readily available. If it does half the stuff it gets credit for, it would cut far too deeply into big pharma’s profits.
There’s no money to be made in actually curing people. Nope, you want to keep them borderline sick so they keep coming back for more of your meds to try or be on for life.
NH is deer tick country. We do tick checks every evening when we’ve spent time outdoors.
We also have used permethrin insect granules and next spring will also be applying Insect Growth Regulator with the insecticide. The combination is supposed to be very effective.
Looking at the more critical comments, what she writes has been debunked. Perspective by Sam Telford, August 11, 2019, Washington Post, No, Lyme disease is not an escaped military bioweapon, despite what conspiracy theorists say (Excerpt - FR rules):
"I started working on Lyme disease in 1985. As part of my doctoral thesis, I investigated whether museum specimens of ticks and mice contained evidence of infection with the bacterial agent of Lyme disease before the first known American human cases in the mid-1970s."The military performs a lot of disease research as US soldiers at home and abroad are at risk of exposure to every communicable disease. If one research does both biological warfare and medical research, that does not automatically mean that the medical research has to be weapon related, that's conspiracy theory assuming facts and conclusion."Working with microbiologist David Persing, we found that ticks from the South Fork of Long Island collected in 1945 were infected. Subsequent studies found that mice from Cape Cod, collected in 1896, were infected."
"So decades before Lyme was identified — and before military scientists could have altered or weaponized it — the bacterium that causes it was living in the wild."
"That alone is proof that the conspiracy theory is wrong. But there are plenty of other lines of evidence that show why Lyme disease did not require the human hand changing something Mother Nature had nurtured."
A family member got Lyme disease and it led to fluttering heart palpitations. Such atrial fibrillations caused a blood clot to the brain which almost caused death. It did cause coordination problems on the left side.
