In a bombshell revelation, newly declassified JFK files have exposed the Pentagon’s decades-long bioweapons program, including the creation of tick-borne viruses like Lyme disease and the development of COVID-19 in the same military lab. The documents confirm what researchers like Kris Newby, author of Bitten, have long suspected: the U.S. government has been weaponizing diseases to destabilize nations and control populations. This chilling discovery raises urgent questions about the true origins of modern pandemics and the unchecked power of shadowy government agencies. • Key revelations: The Pentagon created Lyme disease in the 1960s as part of a bioweapons program aimed at sabotaging Cuba’s agriculture. • Same lab, same playbook: The Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana, where Lyme disease was engineered, also received DARPA funding to develop COVID-19. • Masking bioweapons as natural outbreaks: The U.S. military has a history of disguising bioweapons as naturally occurring diseases, a tactic now linked to COVID-19. • CIA involvement: The CIA has been implicated in funding and covering up these programs, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s work on coronaviruses.

The Pentagon’s bioweapons playbook

The newly released JFK files reveal a disturbing pattern of bioweapons development dating back to the Cold War. According to the documents, the Pentagon funded research at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana to create tick-borne viruses, including Lyme disease, as part of Operation Mongoose—a covert program to destabilize Cuba. The goal was to infect agricultural workers with debilitating illnesses, crippling Cuba’s economy and forcing regime change. Mike Benz, a researcher who has extensively studied these programs, stated, “The military was funding the tick viruses in the same lab as COVID… It’s the same playbook.” This connection is further corroborated by Kris Newby’s book Bitten, which details how the U.S. military weaponized ticks to spread diseases that mimic natural outbreaks. The parallels to COVID-19 are impossible to ignore. The Wuhan Institute of Virology, which received $15 million from USAID, was working on coronaviruses with DARPA funding. The same military lab that created Lyme disease was also involved in developing SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

Bioweapons as tools of regime change

The JFK files reveal that the Pentagon’s bioweapons program was designed to appear as natural disasters or local outbreaks. “We’ll create a bioweapon for regime change and we’ll loose it and we’ll claim that it was from natural origin,” Benz explained. This strategy was used in Cuba, where the military planned to deploy tick-borne viruses to destroy crops and starve the population, forcing them to overthrow their government. The same tactics are now being used globally. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the CIA and military-funded organizations like the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab worked to censor any discussion of the virus’s man-made origins. “It was CIA proprietaries and U.S. military-funded censorship organizations who were the first people on the scene to censor COVID-19,” Benz noted.

The Rocky Mountain Laboratories connection

The Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana played a central role in both the Lyme disease and COVID-19 programs. Researchers at the lab collected ticks from the Rocky Mountains and infused them with “sublethal agents” to create diseases that would incapacitate but not kill their victims. This “humanitarian” approach to warfare was intended to avoid mass casualties while achieving strategic goals. The same lab later received DARPA funding to develop coronaviruses capable of jumping from animals to humans. “The military was funding the creation of these tick-borne viruses out of the very lab that the DARPA grants to create the SARS-CoV-2 fur and cleavage sites would be used,” Benz said.

A history of deception

The JFK files also shed light on the CIA’s role in covering up these programs. The agency has a long history of using public health initiatives as cover for covert operations. For example, the CIA ran fake vaccine clinics in Pakistan and used HIV clinics in Latin America to conduct espionage. During the COVID-19 scamdemic, the CIA and military-funded organizations worked to suppress any discussion of the virus’s origins. “It was Grafica who got $7 million in military PSYOP funding,” Benz revealed. “They were literally incubated in the Minerva Initiative, which, thank God, Trump has now shut down.” The release of these documents is just the tip of the iceberg. The JFK files reference numerous annexes and cited documents that have yet to be declassified. “I want to know what’s in that paper,” Benz said, referring to a document that outlines methods for producing crop failures using biological agents. As more information comes to light, the public must demand accountability from the agencies responsible for these programs. The Pentagon’s bioweapons playbook has caused untold suffering, from the spread of Lyme disease to the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the words of Benz, “It’s the same playbook, bro. It’s like 60 years, the same playbook. It’s unbelievable.” Sources include: X.com Dailymail.co.uk Lies.news
