Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 185: Tick Bioweapons, Alpha Gal and UFO Harvesting

Episode Description from the Publisher

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 185 with a breakdown of the Thomas Massey vs. Ed Gallerain Kentucky primary, the Laura Loomer affair claims, and why Jon sees the whole thing as an op against someone he already had no illusions about. Then the show pivots to UFO disclosure. Matt Gaetz recently confirmed a whistleblower claim that humans were being harvested from natural disasters and migrant caravans for alien-human hybrid programs, while CIA-connected researcher Hal Putoff named four alien species the US government has allegedly recovered. Jon argues the alien cover story may be a convenient distraction from human trafficking networks run by very earthly actors. The second half of the episode digs into the surge in ticks across America. Jon connects the rise of alpha gal syndrome, a red meat allergy spread by lone star ticks, to a peer-reviewed bioethics paper proposing intentional tick spreading as a climate strategy, a Gates Foundation grant to a biotech company engineering ticks for release into the wild, the Pfizer-Valneva Lyme disease vaccine now in phase three trials, and the original origins of Lyme disease at Plum Island, a biological weapons lab staffed by post-World War II Nazi scientists.
