We need to talk about bioweapons…
A house cleaner known only as Kelly reported a suspicious garage in an AirBNB in Las Vegas to the FBI a few weeks ago. Apparently it was normally locked, but when it was left open she noticed a foul “hospital” smell. On Saturday investigators found fridges and carted away “more than 1,000 pieces of evidence”. They arrested a man who managed the property and discovered the owner he worked for was in jail and used to own the Reedley illegal bioweapon lab as well. That was the lab found by sheer chance that had vials of samples marked “Ebola”, “HIV”, Covid-19″ and “Tuberculosis”. There were also a thousand lab mice in there and people wearing hazmat suits.
Righto, so having found a hostile, highly dangerous, existential potential threat in 2023, no one asked the question, “does he own anything else?” No one thought to look at his other properties?
Kelly, the AirBNB cleaner was probably extra suspicious because she and another employee reported that the garage made them sick:
Police source describes falling ‘deathly ill’ after entering Las Vegas garage where biolab was found
— By Darcy Spears, Alyssa Roberts, KTNV, Las Vegas.
She and another employee both reported becoming “deathly ill” in April 2025, about five days after going into the garage. Their symptoms included “breathing issues, fatigue, couldn’t get out of bed, and muscle aches.” Both believed they were sick because of the biolab in the garage. Kelly also told the FBI that Solomon’s wife got sick after entering the garage, and that “a lot of people in the house have gotten sick, including one female who ended up in the hospital with severe respiratory issues.”
The man who managed the house is known as Ori Solomon, who apparently manages another 37 AirBnBs. The house owner, meanwhile, is a Chinese citizen called Jia Bei Zhu (aka “David He”) who was arrested after the Reedley lab was uncovered, and was jailed in California. Records show he phoned Solomon 467 times in the last year. And again, no one thought that was worth following up? Apparently being jailed doesn’t slow down organised crime, or possibly our enemies.
Most ominously, in this case he wasn’t jailed for having vials of Ebola in his fridge, because, the CDC refused to analyze the samples. Zhu could not be charged with any type of bioterrorism crime if no one “found” any evidence of viral threats.
It’s not only baffling that this happened, but also that we didn’t hear about it.
This is according to Kevin Kiley, a congressman in California:
The Reedley lab was discovered in December of 2022, when a code inspector came upon a suspicious warehouse. Inside, she found many Chinese nationals “wearing white lab coats, glasses, masks, and latex gloves,” along with “thousands of vials of biological substances” and 1,000 mice. It was later learned these were “transgenic” mice “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” A further inspection found “blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums” along with thousands of vials of “suspected biological material.” Some of the vials were labeled with the names of infectious agents, while others were labeled in a “code” that was never deciphered.
At first, the CDC refused to investigate, and even hung-up on local officials who asked for help. After Rep. Costa got involved, the CDC did an inspection and found “at least 20 potentially infectious agents, including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria.” Yet the CDC did not bother to test any samples, even those with unknown contents, making it “impossible for the Select Committee to fully assess the potential risks that this specific facility posed to the community.” The Select Committee report calls this “baffling.” Later, local officials discovered a refrigerator in the lab labeled “Ebola.”
He also notes there did not appear to be any profit based reason for the lab, but there was funding from China:
While the supposed purpose of the lab was to sell test kits, in fact all the company did was buy counterfeit kits from China and re-sell them in the United States. Thus, there was a “lack of apparent legitimate (or even profit-motivated criminal) motive in the operation of the illegal facility.” Meanwhile, Jesse Zhu, its operator, was “receiving unexplained payments via wire transfer” from Chinese banks.
As it happens, the house in Las Vegas is right next to a large water reservoir, and only a few miles from the Nellis Air Force Base. A small outbreak at an inconvenient time might be quite handy for an adversary? Though Richard Ebright worries more that enemies might want to carry out a false flag operation against a US “select-agent” (bioweapon) lab.
It seems the FBI has discovered a new interest in the Reedley labs a few days ago and went back to get stuff they left behind the first time. We might hope they were finally getting around to investigating it, but perhaps they are just covering their own asses?
Yet again, we are reminded that no matter how corrupt we think our institutions are, it’s worse.
What’s more scary — that officials have found another possible biolab in Las Vegas (and there may be many more), or that it was obviously and easily connected to the Reedley bioweapon lab found in California, and no one bothered to investigate? I mean, which is worse — that we’re in a cold war with the potential of being in a hot one, or that our worst enemies may be on our own side, or already paid off by the enemy?
h/t Bally in Qld.
There are more details at RedState, and on X, but where are the rest of the media?
They belatedly found this one.
Now go and find all the others, in the USA and elsewhere.

Yet another “far right conspiracy theory” comes true.
250
I’ve personally exonerated the Wuhan bats as the culprits for Covid, but the Leftist media and its devotees still stand by the zoonotic theory.

Right under the Govenor of California’s Big Nose.
Hmmmmmmm.
150
thanks but I was refuting this as such a thing is hardly likely to be something that is so close to him as to be figuratively under his nose.
112
He appears to be blind to everything else that is going wrong in California. Meanwhile, the Market Economy Operaters are voting with their feet and fleeing the Bad State that it is in.
And the smart individuals are fleeing as well.
Over to you One Eye.
130
Apparently this “flight” is being picked up in Census data. There have been a few articles that point out that in the next Decennial Census, the data of which is used for House seats, are going to have an impact on Congress, and not in a good way for the Left.
00
If you ever see an efficient Govt response to an emergency… you will know its a false flag!
Any real surprise, like the Reedley lab, shows that their incompetence has no bounds!
260
The CDC did not want to know? Perhaps they already knew. I hazard a guess that we see the hand of Dr Fauci at work.
210
Bingo
They likely were doing the virology equivalent of a ‘black bag’ operation, where the government agency they work for has complete deniability if they get caught. I don’t believe for a second these were private actors. They were either working for China developing bioweapons, or they were working for NIAID doing gain-of-function counter-biowarfare work that has been deemed illegal on American soil.
Lifetime bureaucrats have nothing but disdain for the edicts of elected leaders and democracy in general when it runs counter to their grand plans. They often speak of how elected leaders come and go, but they remain for decade after decade and administration after administration. Most of the time, they fight their political superiors using death-by-1000-cuts bureaucratic delay tactics, but it’s not unheard of for them to do legally dodgy off-book work in order to keep their pet projects alive. The CIA is most famous for that sort of thing (Iran-Contra, selling cocaine to fund the Sandanistas, etc.), but every bureaucratic fiefdom does it to some degree.
That’s what the whole Wuhan Institute for Coronavirus was based on, outsourcing work to Chinese labs through a British cutout that was illegal in the USA. This could be more of the same after their Wuhan labs got shut down in 2020 and their Ukrainian labs got shut down in 2022.

The next plandemic on the agenda is the Nipah virus.
The Australian Government (bureaucrats and politicians and Big Pharma whom they represent) is beginning to worry, or maybe not worry, but more likely excited at the prospect of more covid-style lockups.

Let’s bookmark this one as it officially DM’s 1000th false prediction.

Just to add gravitas to David Maddison’s post ~ which is being called a «false prediction»….
…Health authorities in Japan, reported last year of 600,000 Excess deaths from the COVID vaccines ~ you read this correctly ~ 600,000 excess deaths.
No statistics about Myocarditis or Pericarditis mentioned.
Here is a link to this health INTREP.
Additional INTREPS about the excess death-rates in Asia ~ also within my Substack website, dated OCT & NOV 2025.
Look again at Joanne’s Title for this report = « We Need to Talk About Bioweapons » = as usual, Jo has nailed it ~ once again.
Stop treating this as a Conspiracy Theory!
50
Not worried in the least.
MSM beatup.
80
Whether a genuine concern or not, we already know how the Australian Government will react.
They have already demonstrated their willingness to undertake the world’s most draconian lockups and compulsory vaccination.
Also, the Chicomms are doing work on weaponising this virus according to:

commer in the wrong place?
40
Fatality rate of Nipah virus = 40-70%. It’s in the Ebola category of nasty. Spread mostly by bats, but like Ebola it can spread human to human in very close contact. About 1 in 5 survivors have long term neurological damage like convulsions or personality changes. It was discovered in 1998, and total deaths so far are around 435 — out of about 750 infected. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277270762400105X
It’s a Henipa virus, like the Hendra virus. Unless it mutates or is weaponized to spread more easily, the outbreaks are not too difficult to control with good sanitation and quarantine. Countries affected are India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines.
140
To get some media traction David, they need a scarier name. “Monkey pox” didn’t do it because it sounded a bit silly which is why they later changed the name. Nipah is just the name of the town in Malaysia where it originated. Needs some hyperbole- perhaps the “You Will Instantly Die If Infected” virus or similar. YWIDII26 as an acronym might work?
110
Monkey Pox failed because people relatively quickly caught on to it being almost impossible to transmit unless you were having copious amounts of unprotected [snip] with multiple anonymous partners. So the 99% of the population that doesn’t partake in those activities shrugged their shoulders and said ‘who cares?’. It also failed because they tried it too soon after Covid-19. People’s bullcrap detectors were cranked all the way up after the shutdowns and were determined not to be fooled again.
200
Perhaps they could ask the WHO if they could label it Disease X? Although the WHO may want to reserve that label for something really big…
50
The WHO already have Disease X as a placeholder for something really nasty.
It is speculated by some whether Covid-19 already met the criteria for Disease X. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_X#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DDisease_X_is_a_placeholder%2Cto_respond_to_unforeseen_strains.?wprov=sfla1

If it’s left up to the CDC/WHO to name it, I think they’ll want to very subtly attempt to associate it with conservatives…
CONS-2B…

Jo,
this term Biolab is surely shorthand for something that is not a regular biolab. I’ve worked in many and you have worked in some and not fallen ill. I assume these people were not pinning insects or looking at enzyme activity.
Time to ditch the slur on all biologists and call it an illegal bioweapon lab, or something that identifies it.
012
You must have skipped over the bit where Jo did exactly what you ask for.
As for this other alleged biolab. It’s not certain yet what it is. If Jo called it a bioweapons lab you’d be complaining that she is slurring anyone chinese who has a fridge in their garage.
I know you don’t have a high opinion of most here. But give us some credit for being able to not assume every biolab or biologist is nefarious.
BTW, biology is not the study of people who are attracted to both genders.
170
I certainly didn’t. “Biolab” is mentioned many times as though a biolab is an evil thing. It’s in the title and why call it a biolab even once?
And on the topic of “lab”. A lab is a research tool. A place where research is conducted. These biolabs are actually commercial factories, not labs. They are making a product not trying to break new ground. Meth labs are not labs.
Yes they use stuff found in labs to manufacture their product but that is just abusing the word lab. Like calling my home kitchen a restaurant (or a lab for that matter) and my bed a hotel and visa versa.
015
You just called it a biolab. Tut tut.
The biolab term is used to indicate the sort of activity. It by no means harms the reputation of people in your industry. You’re just too precious. Based on your sensitivities, if the Wuhan facility did the experiments to make a weapon, then we can’t call it a biolab in case it ruins the reputation of others.
Your examples of labels to your domestic activities are just silly. You don’t prepare and serve meals to customers in your kitchen. if you did then it would be a restaurant. You don’t have people paying to sleep in your bed (I assume). If you did it would be an accommodation facility of some description, or a recreational facility of another description.
If you didn’t skip the part where Jo called the other one an illegal bioweapons lab, then you shouldn’t be complaining.
140
Could you edit to “biolabs” as that was my intention and how it read.
The wuhan lab was a research lab and warfare research is done in labs. The thing described above is manufacturing. Yes, Wuhan could be research development and deployment but I’d call that a bioweopon facility not just lazily call it a biolab.
You don’t prepare and serve meals to customers in your kitchen.
013
So fair comment, without guys in hazmat suits, it’s more like a storage facility of a biolab. Unless, the aim was to infect the guests in which case the whole house is a kind a lab. 🙁
The Reedly lab had mice and staff in hazmat suits with things labeled Ebola. It definitely qualified as a bioweapon lab (as Strop said).
So what one word descriptor would the public understand? Something that told them there were biological materials that were potentially experimental in nature and quite dangerous?
I don’t see the “slur” on all normal biolabs at all. The public can easily see the difference between an approved biolab and an unapproved one in a garage.
100
According to the the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, a laboratory is “a place where drugs and chemicals are manufactured.” It may be a crude and illegal lab, but it’s a lab per the aforementioned definition.
Anyhow, enough of your semantics antics and laboratory oratory, the weekend is about to begin.

The main media folks are busy reading millions of pages about the friends of a late sex offender, or following the sayings of folks like Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish – two people no one over 30 ever heard of until last week.
130
John
How about “The main media folks are busy reading and culling millions of pages about the friends of a late sex offender,
30
I’m over 70, and unfortunately, I’ve heard of Bad Bunny. He did a Superbowl Halftime appearance, and we all sat around saying “Who the hell is THIS clown????”
20
No Government will look for something it doesn’t want to find, or be found, especially if it’s the initiator of said activities.
467 calls in one year from a property owner to a property manager is not even 2 a day. That’s utterly negligible.
The (very small) property services company I once worked for would consider 467 calls a *month* from a client a dire shortage of work…
Just coordinating a property inspection could take half a dozen calls, on the low side. Actual work could be dozens, per day.
20
I read about on Jan 31st.
The MSM covered it later…
20
There’s been constant debate about the origin of COVID. Bat soup vs Wuhan Lab.
Seems like the reporting I have seen would indicate lab escape. During the whole COVID bollocks drama this was of great interest and certainly produced a scare factor. The idea of a weaponised virus was scary. So, you really have to wonder if that whole story of the lab leak, was in fact a ploy to alarm the populace. Particularly the politicians, who inevitably seemed to make the final decisions on lockdowns, school closures and vaccine mandates. Most are scientific illiterate, so they were not hard to fool.
So, lab leaks and suspicious suburban biolabs such as this one and the 2023 California incident served a purpose. Keep the populace alarmed so that we’re literally demanding to be jabbed. Which is, of course, what happened. I remain highly cynical.
80
If they let it out deliberately is it still called a leak?
20
Probably give it a far more technical fancy name. Like blackout becomes- controlled outage. With ag chemical sprays it’s called “drift”. But can also be called “off target encroachment”. Silly name games.
00
When I go for a leak it’s deliberate … most of the time.
20
We need immigrants.
Yong Americans just aren’t willing to do dangerous bio hazard illicit lab work anymore.
They are becoming podcasters.
I’m also concerned about the trans mice having access to gender affirming care.
200
Yes, I saw that about the trans mice, I wonder what their pronouns are.
30
Mickey and Minnie are the normal mice with the Trans mice being Transient.
00
? transgenic?
03
The mice in question have the genetic sequence for a human ACE2 receptor spliced into their DNA to replace the normal mouse receptors.
The are often called “humanized ACE2 mouse models” or sometimes simply humanized mice.
The work done by EcoHealth Alliance in China during 2019 involved these, and they explain why it was impossible to find a natural animal which was the intermediate between corona virus in bats and COVID in humans. The lab mice were the intermediate and no such natural animal exists.
Since then, they have been turning up in some rather unlikely places … like a rental house in Las Vegas, or if you search Prestige Biotech Reedley warehouse Fresno … you can find a story where the same mice were discovered in 2023 as well.
10
If I read of this anywhere else I would probably conclude that this was a manufactured story from some nut job.
The incompetence by all involved is worthy of a Keystone Cops storyline.
You have to wonder how the investigative authorities obtained their qualifications, or if they have any. Did they find their diplomas in a cereal box, buy them on a street corner, bribe their way up the chain of command?
I wonder if Babylon Bee has something on this?
60
I blame the schools. In the 70s we stopped teaching critical thinking in the US, and it was certainly by design.
This has led to an almost comlete lack of logic amongst 2 generations.
“My car won’t start!”…”Did you check your tire pressure??”
10
“….where are the rest of the media?”
Complicit; by commission and omission”, as usual.
80
There are two types of lies, one of commission and one of omission.
The media is pretty careful about the first because it can lead to expensive and painful lawsuits.
When it comes to the second they are experts and having been practicing it forever.
