(under construction) By 1969 the stories leaking out about the US's secret bio-weapons program were growing evermore alarming. Nixon ordered a review, but he already knew what he'd find: stockpiles of disease-bombs, wild STAGE 3 TRIAL experiments on humans to test vaccines, the quiet accumulation of humanity-shaping power.

To quote Dick, Fort Detrick had reached (an) offensive program (that) demonstrated nuclear equivalence of biological weapons.
If you're packing that - you're packing serious-arsed clout in the MOU round-table discussions ... that decide: what's best for all of us.
We'll get back to that later, but how did it get to that crazy mother-fucking-level of secret scio-kingdoms running the world?
Naturally, it started organically, in the early forties - WW2 - when the world went berserk.
In those sliding-doors days, there were great entrepreneurs who saw opportunity ... in this case ... George W. .... Merck. Yes, Merck, the murky-pharmaceutical-giant Merck. George W's trick, which turned the company into what it is today, was: employ a clique of civilian scientist brainiacs on retainers from academia.
Sounds simple but he was the first to do it. He created an overlapping subset space between Big Universities & Private Enterprise. Nice.
Mercks original crew were top-notch experts, selected for their skills as much as their willingness to operate below the surface. All hush-hush.
Ahead of the curve thinkers, the best of the best bio-warfare enthusiasts. Your mission, if you choose to accept: Develop bio-weapons superiority on earth.
George W named them: War Reserve Service . That's the birth of Priva-demia right there.
Even Roosevelt had no idea they existed initially. But when he did, he was all in - formalized a military partnershippartnership. It took capitalism - academia - now it's a menage a trois. Their love-child, was namednamed: Camp Detrick.
These are the roots of a govt funded secret society. It grew into a Fort. The premier germ-war facility in the known universe.
That gives you an insight into: the Empire Culture - now a mega-zillion-$ industry - shaping our lives as we speak
Growing stronger : a secret higher-truth cross-over society of govt-private - playing God.
