Just when we thought the worst that could happen, with Trump ordering a tactical nuclear strike on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain,
Trump CRASHES OUT & Sends NUCLEAR PLANES TO IRAN!!! | The Kyle Kulinski Show
we now learn biological weapons are at the forefront in a secretive plan called Devolution. This according to a NY Times piece 10 days ago which few may have actually read given the blitz of news flooding the limited U.S. citizens' attention 'zone'. But this is a big deal given most Americans have never even heard of this nation's proposed Bio-weapon plan which name doesn't exactly have an inspiring ring to begin with - given the word literally means regression, or backward evolution.
Let's also note here that Biological weapons have been illegal since the Biological Weapons Convention took effect in 1975. The international treaty prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons. But that hasn't stopped dozens of nations from going gung ho into their development.
To fix ideas, A global survey published in 2025 identified 110 BSL-4 labs in 34 countries and 3,515 BSL-3 labs across 149 countries, possibly more. The authors of this study note, “91.6% of countries with at least one BSL-3 laboratory lack guidelines for dual-use research of concern.”
BSL-4 labs must have the tightest standard, to contain 'baddies' like smallpox, Ebola or pneumonic plague. But now one must also reckon with the role of AI models in assisting in bioweapon development - and unlike nuclear weapons- there is no chain of command to monitor whether some Wack job might be making one in his basement using AI.
Not so far-fetched given that not long ago a Stanford microbiologist -Dr. David Relman - went cold at his laptop as an A.I. chatbot told him how to plan a massacre using a bioweapon.
According to an April 26 NYTimes report:
A.I. Bots Told Scientists How to Make Biological Weapons - The New York Times
The transgressive bot described in vivid detail (to a Stanford AI researcher) how to release a vicious pathogen – in fact a superbug- identifying a security lapse in a large public transit system. We read:
"Dr. Relman asked The New York Times to withhold the name of the pathogen and other specifics for fear of inspiring an attack. The bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize the chances of being caught.
Dr. Relman was so shaken he took a walk to clear his head....
Dr. Relman is part of a small group of experts enlisted by
A.I. companies to vet their products for catastrophic risks. In recent months,
some have shared with The Times more than a dozen chatbot conversations
revealing that even publicly available models can do more than disseminate
dangerous information. The virtual assistants have described in lucid,
bullet-pointed detail how to buy raw genetic material, turn it into deadly
weapons and deploy them in public spaces, the transcripts show. Some have even
brainstormed ways to evade detection."
Adding:
"Kevin Esvelt, a genetic engineer at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, shared conversations in which OpenAI’s ChatGPT
explained how to use a weather balloon to spread biological payloads over a
U.S. city. In another chat, Google’s Gemini ranked pathogens by how much they
could damage the cattle or pork industries. Anthropic’s Claude produced a
recipe for a novel toxin adapted from a cancer drug."
Former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) understands this threat in unusually personal terms. His Senate office was targeted during the 2001 anthrax attacks. The result of a major biological attack will be “death physically. Death governmentally. Death in virtually every context,” Daschle said. “People doing inhuman things, just to survive.”
"Very much like nuclear war, there is no real homeland defense against a large-scale biological attack, only things you can do to mitigate extermination,” retired Air Force colonel Dr. Thomas Ehrhard says in the book , “Biological War: A Scenario”.
Not only is there no defense, but Ehrhard makes clear
that there would be no recovery. In the words of former
“You do not choose plague as a battlefield weapon. You
choose plague because you’re going to take out the other person’s country.”
The book lays out real worst case scenario possibilities in
the event of a bio attack. In one case the federal government conducted a live-action
simulation exercise involving thousands of participants, showing what might
happen if terrorists released pneumonic plague inside the Denver Center for the
Performing Arts.
Allowing for a real-life transmission rate of 2.4 — meaning that every infected person would spread to infection to 2.4 other people — the ordeal quickly overwhelmed the participants. The exercise ended after four generations of infections because by then, the book notes: “the Denver healthcare system essentially collapses.”
The simulation’s after-action summary noted that “health department officials became exhausted and a feeling of hopelessness quickly overwhelmed a number of those participating,” with supplies and medications dwindling and first responders unable to triage victims fast enough.
This is the threshold where Devolution would kick in. Devolution, whose operational details remain scant, kicks in precisely when the myriad supports of civilized society collapse: power grids, food stores, petrol for vehicles, and all medical facilities - overrun. Hence, an essential government authority will be needed to keep the peace as best it can - which certainly will entail martial law and extreme measures.
According to the author of Biological War:
“Devolution is the secret transfer of power to backup leaders
and hidden command centers. Devolution ensures the
government keeps running even as the nation’s infrastructure collapses and
hundreds of millions of American citizens die.”
The Devolution Plan would be activated
“when officials fear what is happening could result in America’s downfall.”
Adding:
"The Devolution Plan has been covertly rehearsed countless times over
eight decades, in every administration since the invention of the atomic bomb,”
writes Jacobsen. “Devolution is the final federal government effort to maintain
a last tenuous thread of control.”
One needs to make clear, however, that saving citizens is not under the purview of Devolution. The whole premise is one of mass obliteration via the bioweapon attack - leaving very few survivors. And those who do survive will likely wish they hadn't. No, Devolution is simply based on the preservation of an authority - 'continuity of government if you will - irrespective of what happens to the masses.
For a look at how such a future may unfold, once the authority itself breaks down, check out the movie, The Road, e.g.
