Google’s platform Google Earth also played a vital role in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks of 2008. Will the India government investigate Google’s suspicious role in India as is being done by Americans?
In the words of Snowden, “the rebranding of Surveillance as Social Media is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense.”
Whether Google colludes with Chinese military or has been already infiltrated by Chinese spies or whether the Americans are successful in getting it out of the Chinese orbit, Indians should be well warned that Google is a military front company and as was the case in Mumbai attacks it will be used as a weapon of war against India if a situation so arise.

greatgameindia--2020-05-30--India Blacklists US CDC For Secretly Funding Bioweapons Research At Manipal Institute Of Virology

India has asked the American frontline public health agency , the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) to stop funding virus research studies in the country .
CDC was caught funding Karnataka ’ s Manipal Center for Virus Research ( MCVR ) for secretly carrying out research on the lethal Nipah virus – a pathogen considered potential bioweapon .
The fact that an under-qualified private laboratory was secretly handling a dangerous virus under government ’ s nose at the behest of a foreign agency has raised major concerns within the health ministry apparatus .
The matter is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CDC has a checkered history in India .
The Indian defense establishment believes that the CDC was involved in the plague outbreak in the western Indian city of Surat in 1994 , which they consider to be a case of bioterrorism .
Earlier in February this year the Indian government launched an investigation into another secret research being conducted on bat hunters in the eastern Indian state of Nagaland , funded by the US Department of Defense in collaboration with Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health agency CDC to Indian research agencies for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic has been put on hold by the Ministry of Home Affairs ( MHA ) .
The CDC has been placed on the watchlist since December 2019 for its involvement in funding virus research without government ’ s approval .
The Nipah research fiasco that came into light in October last year was the primary reason behind the MHA decision .
As of now , any funding or donation from the U.S government body CDC would be first cleared by the MHA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funds directly to any government or private institution in India without MHA ’ s clearance .
In October 2019 , Hindustan Times reported that the Union health ministry wrote to both CDC and Manipal Center for Virus Research , ordering them to shut down the study related to Nipah virus that belongs to Risk Group 4 ( RG4 ) classification .
The RG4 viruses are considered highly dangerous and have no treatment or vaccine .
They can only be tested in BSL4 lab which is the highest level of biological safety .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ related to high risk pathogens like Nipah was being carried out at MCVR which is BSL2+ level facility .
A memorandum sent out by the health ministry said : While CDC admitted that the training program didn ’ t have the necessary approval due to some confusion , it maintained that they did not commission the research directly .
“ The training was done through the Global Health Security Agenda ( GHSA ) and was aimed at strengthening laboratory systems in India which allowed for detection of Nipah virus.
” CDC has partnered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across India under the project known as AFI surveillance which tracks mysterious diseases in the government hospitals .
The Indian government has now asked both agencies to stop the surveillance project .
It also warned CDC to ensure all funding is approved by the government .
In its defence , MCVR denied carrying out any risky virus isolation work at their lab .
Dr. Arunkumar , Director of MCVR , said : This is not the first time a dangerous research took place in India without keeping the government in loop .
Back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmed to that foreign funded researchers were conducting study on bats and bat hunters ( humans ) in the northeastern state of Nagaland .

The fact that scientists from foreign countries were allowed to handle live samples of bats and bat hunters without permission prompted Indian Council of Medical Research ( ICMR ) to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter .
Even before the coronavirus outbreak , a number of controversial studies were being carried out at China ’ s Wuhan lab under the patronage of United States ’ National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) .
One of the studies is the gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses which involves mutating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans .
The gain-of-function research has been widely criticized by the scientists around the world due to the risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release .
However , last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Diseases , the organization led by Dr. Anthony Fauci , funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research .

The matter is more complicated with the fact that the CDC has a checkered history in India. The Indian defense establishment believes that the CDC was involved in the plague outbreak in the western Indian city of Surat in 1994, which they consider to be a case of bioterrorism. Earlier in February this year the Indian government launched an investigation into another secret research being conducted on bat hunters in the eastern Indian state of Nagaland, funded by the US Department of Defense in collaboration with Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
CDC put on Watchlist
A $3.6 million donation from Atlanta-based US health agency CDC to Indian research agencies for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic has been put on hold by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The CDC has been placed on the watchlist since December 2019 for its involvement in funding virus research without government’s approval.
The Nipah research fiasco that came into light in October last year was the primary reason behind the MHA decision. As of now, any funding or donation from the U.S government body CDC would be first cleared by the MHA itself. They can no longer send funds directly to any government or private institution in India without MHA’s clearance.

CDC secretly funds risky virus research in India
In October 2019, Hindustan Times reported that the Union health ministry wrote to both CDC and Manipal Center for Virus Research, ordering them to shut down the study related to Nipah virus that belongs to Risk Group 4 (RG4) classification. The RG4 viruses are considered highly dangerous and have no treatment or vaccine. They can only be tested in BSL4 lab which is the highest level of biological safety. The health ministry was upset that a study related to high risk pathogens like Nipah was being carried out at MCVR which is BSL2+ level facility.

A memorandum sent out by the health ministry said:
“It has been brought to our notice that CDC had trained MCVR for diagnosis of Nipah virus disease (NIV) in spite of the known fact that NIV is BSL 4 level pathogen whereas MCVR is a level BSL2+lab. Prior to this training to MCVR, CDC has not consulted national/govt agencies as per norm. Since Nipah is a high risk pathogen with potential for being used as agent of bio-terrorism the samples were to be handled more carefully and tested only in a BSL4.”
While CDC admitted that the training program didn’t have the necessary approval due to some confusion, it maintained that they did not commission the research directly. “The training was done through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and was aimed at strengthening laboratory systems in India which allowed for detection of Nipah virus.”
CDC has partnered with MCVR to carry out illness surveillance across India under the project known as AFI surveillance which tracks mysterious diseases in the government hospitals. The Indian government has now asked both agencies to stop the surveillance project. It also warned CDC to ensure all funding is approved by the government.
In its defence, MCVR denied carrying out any risky virus isolation work at their lab. Dr. Arunkumar, Director of MCVR, said:
“We did not take approval from HMSC. Prior to testing, MCVR inactivated the virus. Inactivation of the virus was carried out in BSL3 facility at MCVR. Once inactivated, the virus cannot spread. Molecular testing was carried at MCVR in its BSL2 facility. No Nipah virus sample was transferred from MCVR to any other lab (except NIV Pune) within and outside the country.”
Investigation on secret research on Bat Hunters
This is not the first time a dangerous research took place in India without keeping the government in loop. Back in February this year, the officials confirmed to that foreign funded researchers were conducting study on bats and bat hunters (humans) in the northeastern state of Nagaland. Bats are known to often carry viruses such as ebola, SARS coronavirus, rabies,etc.
After Indian scientists were forced to withdraw their study concluding #Coronavirus was injected with HIV AIDS virus amidst massive online criticism, now Indian authorities have launched an investigation against China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.https://t.co/T0mZ1uG9Y5 — GreatGameIndia (@GreatGameIndia) February 3, 2020
What’s more alarming was that two of the 12 researchers belonged to the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Department of Emerging Infectious Diseases – the same institute from where COVID-19 outbreak is believed to have originated. The Nagaland study was funded by the United States Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction agency (DTRA).
The results of the study were published in October last year in the PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases journal, originally established by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
To conduct a high-risk study in India, they would have needed special permissions from the Indian authorities which was not sought by the parties involved in the study. The fact that scientists from foreign countries were allowed to handle live samples of bats and bat hunters without permission prompted Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to send a five-member committee to investigate the matter.
Funding of controversial Gain-of-Function research
Even before the coronavirus outbreak, a number of controversial studies were being carried out at China’s Wuhan lab under the patronage of United States’ National Institutes of Health (NIH). One of the studies is the gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses which involves mutating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans.
The gain-of-function research has been widely criticized by the scientists around the world due to the risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release.
However, last year the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research. A total of $7.5 million of American tax dollars have been spent since 2014 for conducting GoF studies.
The case of Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier
The case of Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier is a grim reminder of the dangers of gain-of-function studies. He created the world’s deadliest virus strain and his research sparked a global controversy to de-fund and shut down such experiments. In 2011, he and his team created a mutant H5N1 virus that can spread among ferrets without direct contact. His study showed that such an airborne virus can jump onto humans and can lead to a global pandemic or worse – bioterrorism.
Dutch Virologist Ron Fouchier is controversial figure Viroscience field who created world’s deadliest virus strain whose research sparked global controversy to shutdown such experiments. He smuggled Coronavirus out of Saudi Arabia & sent to Frank Plummer.https://t.co/KCCEAYIZQY — GreatGameIndia (@GreatGameIndia) April 24, 2020
As reported in GreatGameIndia‘s investigative report, Fouchier was the one who sent Coronavirus to the Canadian scientist Frank Plummer at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. It was under Plummer, Chinese biowarfare spy Xiangguo Qiu and her team smuggled deadly coronaviruses from the Canadian lab to Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The controversy also prompted the US government in March to outline a new general policy on the handling of “dual use research of concern,” or DURC, meaning research that could be used for either good or ill. The Indian government has yet to draft any such policy on the dual – civilian and military – research and technology.
Role of CDC in Surat plague
The plague outbreak in the western Indian city of Surat in 1994 has been mired in controversy just as COVID-19. Around 55 people died and close to a half of the city of 1.2 million people fled Surat for fear of the plague and of being quarantined.
EXCLUSIVE The origin of 1994 Surat plague has been mired in controversy just as COVID-19. Indian defense establishment believe it is a case of bioterrorism involving American CDC with the germ with an extra protein ring developed at CDC lab in Kazakhstanhttps://t.co/TN8CD91F6g — GreatGameIndia (@GreatGameIndia) May 17, 2020
The origin of the outbreak is still a mystery. Indian defense establishment believes the 1994 Surat Plague is a case of bioterrorism. Numerous media outlets at the time reported the involvement of American CDC. It was suspected that the germ with an extra protein ring was developed by a CDC lab in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Thus it comes as no surprise that Indian authorities are taking no chances this time around with CDC, especially since the world is already under the grip of a virus pandemic and the role of CDC is increasingly being seen as suspicious.

Bomber Harris – A War Criminal for the British Empire
After the fall of the Berlin Wall bizarre banners started appearing through Germany. The demonstrators carrying these banners were part of a violent movement calling itself the “Antifa” (short for Anti-Fascists). These posters carried slogans like “Bomber Harris – Do It Again”.
Bomber Harris refers to Sir Arthur Travers Harris, the Marshal of the Royal Air Force who was the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief (AOC-in-C) of the RAF Bomber Command for the Anglo-American strategic bombing campaign of Germany during the Second World War. Outside the Antifa, he is called Butcher Harris and regarded as a “war criminal”.
The so-called strategic bombing campaign was specifically targeted at civilians. The destruction of Dresden, by British and American bombers in February 1945 is one of the most controversial Allied operations of the war. In just a few hours, three waves of attacks unleashed a firestorm that leveled more than half of the city and killed 25,000 people, most of them civilians.
When the Bomber Harris Trust (an RAF veterans’ organization formed to defend the good name of their commander) erected his statue outside the RAF Church in London, in 1992, it was met with massive protests. Queen Elizabeth was shocked when she was mocked by protesters who shouted, “Harris was a war criminal.”

For his war-crime service he was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE).
The puzzling question however was that why were a rag-tag band of anarchists waving flags for the British Empire urging them to bomb their fellow Germans when the war was already won?
Margaret Thatcher’s Killer War against the German State
Like the Antifa, the British Government was displeased with the reunification of Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s misgivings and the violence perpetrated by Antifa aligned well with the aggressive British policy against the German state.
Recently released files by the UK’s National Archive unearthed a host of new details about the apprehension in Downing Street against the German reunification. Among the several hundred pages of revealing documents was an account, written up by British prime minister’s influential private secretary Charles Powell, of a half-day “seminar” Thatcher convened to discuss the German character and the potential consequences of reunification.

“It would be very embarrassing and gravely damaging to our interests if the contents of so frank a discussion of one of our closest allies were to become known,” Powell warned.
Series of Assassinations targeting German economic activity
Most specifically, the British policy was geared against the independent German economic interests led by Chancellor Helmut Kohl who was driving the German reunification program in the face of misgivings from London.
Soon after, Alfred Herrhausen the leading economic advisor of Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the President of Deutsche Bank is assassinated. His assassination was blamed on the Red Army Faction terrorist cell. The RAF is responsible for the assassination of many leading German bankers and industrialists targeting German economic activity. Antifa follows similar strategy of “low-intensity conflict” like the RAF.
RAF engaged in a series of bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, bank robberies and shoot-outs with police over the course of three decades. Their activity peaked in late 1977, which led to a national crisis that became known as the “German Autumn“. The RAF has been held responsible for thirty-four deaths, including many secondary targets, such as chauffeurs and bodyguards.
German intelligence considers the Red Army Faction to be a foreign sponsored terrorist organization. Although never established, RAF’s association with the British intelligence was exposed when a Scottish businessman, Ian McLeod was killed by German police. McLeod turned out to be an agent of the British intelligence.
Antifa is trained by ISIS
The parallels between the RAF and the modern American Antifa are hard to miss. Just like RAF, the Antifa have engaged in targeting of American businesses and law and order forces including support from foreign terrorist organization to achieve a political objective.
Operation Timber Sycamore – How the West funded and trained #ISIS terrorists with the objective of overthrowing the Government of Syria. The #DeepState project ultimately phased out by @realDonaldTrump.https://t.co/PUkYzk4b1M — GreatGameIndia (@GreatGameIndia) October 14, 2019
Operation Timber Sycamore is the “largest covert ops” in the history of CIA including intelligence agencies of 15 countries with the objective to destabilize Syria by routing billions of petrodollars from Gulf States to ISIS. Although, this Deep State project was ultimately phased out by American President Donald Trump, there are serious concerns that these terrorists trained the Antifa members now wreaking havoc in America.
For years there have been concerns that Antifa members have joined the YPG, the Syrian affiliate of the PKK terror group, in Syria, where they received armed training under the watch of Obama administration.
I’m telling y’all. The left-wing #Antifa militants who had a chance to receive armed training from the #PKK terror group in Syria for years, pose much more danger than you think now. Do you think they’re still in Syria? #riot #Minneapolis #protests2020 pic.twitter.com/jtpZkbdg04 — Safvan Allahverdi (@s_Allahverdi) May 31, 2020
The PKK is responsible for more than 40,000 deaths. Besides killing soldiers, it has bombed shopping malls, killed politicians and executed hundreds of Kurdish-speaking villagers who didn’t abide by the terror group’s radical views.
The westerners who joined the YPG were an odd group. They were leftists, anarchists, feminists and ecology buffs. They were ex-marines, former drug addicts, misfits, adrenaline junkies or just young people sucked up in the conflicting battles of Syria.
Many of these volunteers traveled to Syria from American cities without any hindrance. Upon their return, they were hardly ever investigated.
“What does Antifa want with a bunch of seasoned combat veterans? Why do they need that to supplement their movement? It’s a very interesting question to what they were precisely upto,” Brad Johnson, a former CIA officer, said in an interview last year.
YPG trained by & British Intelligence
The link between British intelligence and YPG was exposed in the curious case of British Military Officer Joe Robinson who spent five months in Syria training the YPG.
He was detained and arrested by Greater Manchester Police officers on suspicion of terrorism offenses as soon as he returned. He joined the British military when he was 18 and toured Afghanistan with the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment in 2012.
Antifa’s Plot against America
Edward Klein, the former editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine in his latest book All Out War makes the shocking revelation that an FBI investigation discovered collusion between American anarchists and ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
It reveals the FBI sent a task force to Germany to report on radical groups that planned to protest President Trump’s attendance at the G20 Summit. The investigation determined that U.S. based anarchist/radical groups had traveled to Germany and took part in the violence. There was also evidence that three key leaders of an Oakland group met in Hamburg with a leader of the Al-Qaeda. The foreign terrorists were helping Antifa acquire the weapons they were seeking, primarily bomb-making equipment and toxic chemicals and gasses.
‘There is clearly overwhelming evidence that there are growing ties between U.S. radicals and the Islamic State, as well as several [ISIS] offshoots and splinter groups. Now that the bureau has determined they have followers in the radical U.S. resistance movement in the United States, it is clear there will be additional violence in the attacks on law enforcement and U.S. institutions, including banks,’ stated the FBI field report, which was delivered to Acting Director Andrew McCabe on July 11, 2017, and published for the first time in the book All Out War.
What the FBI investigators uncovered in 2017 is now manifesting in America spiraling into a full-blown Civil War. If not diffused soon, like the German Autumn, it will be called the American Winter.

The Indian government has pledged US $ 15 million to the global vaccine alliance GAVI over the next 5 years for the global Coronavirus vaccine project led by Britain .
GAVI is largely led by the British government and Bill Gates .

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former American President John F. Kennedy, in a lengthy piece exposed Bill Gates agenda in India and his “obsession with vaccines”.

greatgameindia--2020-06-06--How A Pornstar & Sci-Fi Writer Influenced WHO Policies On Hydroxychloroquine With Fake Data

An obscure US healthcare analytics company has come under sharp scrutiny for the integrity of its key studies that were published in some of the world ’ s most prestigious medical journals .
World Health Organization and several national governments changed their COVID-19 policies and treatment based on the faulty data provided by the company with a pornstar and a sci-fi writer on their payroll .
On the basis of the flawed data , WHO and research institutes around the world halted the trails of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine , touted as a “ wonder drug ” by President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a press conference that those trials would now resume .
An investigation by the Guardian reveals that the US-based company Surgisphere is behind the data for multiple studies on Covid-19 that were published in top medical journals .
Interestingly , the firm has not been able to explain its data and methodology used in the studies which are co-authored by the company ’ s chief executive Sapan Desai .
Two of the medical journals – the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine – published studies based on the data provided by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine have expressed concern about their respective published studies .
The investigation also found out that several of the Surgisphere employees had a questionable scientific background .
One of the employees listed as a science editor appears to be a sci-fi writer while a marketing executive also moonlights as an adult model and event hostess .
The company ’ s Linkedin page only had less than 100 followers and listed just six employees .
The Twitter handle had only 170 followers with no tweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a company that boasts of running one of the largest hospital databases in the world , its negligible online presence seems to raise more questions than it answers .
Desai himself has been named in three medical malpractice lawsuits unrelated to the Surgisphere two of which were filed in November 2019 .
A lawsuit filed by a patient , Joseph Vitagliano , accused Desai and Northwest Community Hospital in Illinois , where he worked until recently , of being “ careless and negligent ” , leading to permanent damage following surgery .
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Surgisphere , Lancet published a peer-reviewed study on May 22 which found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was associated with a higher mortality rate in Covid-19 patients and increased heart problems .
The study , which listed Desai as one of the co-authors , claimed to have analyzed Surgisphere data collected from nearly 96,000 patients with Covid-19 , admitted to 671 hospitals from their database of 1,200 hospitals around the world , who received hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with antibiotics .
The negative findings made headlines all around the world and prompted the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , two days later , glaring errors were found in the Australian subset of the data .
Using the Surgisphere data , the New England Journal of Medicine also published a peer-reviewed study that found out common heart medications such as angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers were not associated with a higher risk of harm in Covid-19 patients .

The History of Hydroxychloroquine in India and how the East India Company tested it on Indian soil.https://t.co/1k7l4eYRCc — GreatGameIndia (@GreatGameIndia) June 4, 2020
Desai himself has been named in three medical malpractice lawsuits unrelated to the Surgisphere two of which were filed in November 2019. A lawsuit filed by a patient, Joseph Vitagliano, accused Desai and Northwest Community Hospital in Illinois, where he worked until recently, of being “careless and negligent”, leading to permanent damage following surgery.
On the basis of dubious data provided by Surgisphere, Lancet published a peer-reviewed study on May 22 which found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was associated with a higher mortality rate in Covid-19 patients and increased heart problems. The study, which listed Desai as one of the co-authors, claimed to have analyzed Surgisphere data collected from nearly 96,000 patients with Covid-19, admitted to 671 hospitals from their database of 1,200 hospitals around the world, who received hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with antibiotics.
The negative findings made headlines all around the world and prompted the WHO to halt the hydroxychloroquine trials. However, two days later, glaring errors were found in the Australian subset of the data. Using the Surgisphere data, the New England Journal of Medicine also published a peer-reviewed study that found out common heart medications such as angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers were not associated with a higher risk of harm in Covid-19 patients.
One of the questions that have left the scientific community stumped is how a company – launched in 2008 as a medical education company publishing textbooks – became the owner of the world’s largest international medical database.
Dr. James Todaro, who runs MedicineUncensored, a website that publishes the results of hydroxychloroquine studies, said: “Surgisphere came out of nowhere to conduct perhaps the most influential global study in this pandemic in the matter of a few weeks.”
When contacted by the Guardian, Desai revealed: “Surgisphere has been in business since 2008. Our healthcare data analytics services started at about the same time and have continued to grow since that time. We use a great deal of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate this process as much as possible, which is the only way a task like this is even possible.”
What’s more concerning is that Surgisphere has not revealed the source of their data, for example, the names of the hospitals from where they collected the Covid-19 patient data.
Peter Ellis, the chief data scientist of Nous Group, an international management consultancy that does data integration projects for government departments, expressed concern that the Surgisphere database was “almost certainly a scam”. He argues that de-identifying patient data is not just about removing their names, rather it’s a big and difficult process that takes months to complete and involves network review boards, security people, and management.
