The Journey 67. Janet Phelan: Attack or Pandemic?

Publisher RA “Kris” Millegan talks with Janet Phelan about her new book, “At the Breaking Point of History: How Decades of US Duplicity Enabled the Pandemic,” how the US avoids oversight of its biological weapons, and why we must look at alternative sources of information in light of mainstream media’s subservience to authority.

Kris: This is called “The Journey” because it’s about the journey we all have to take once confronted by other material than what we learned in school. My father told me some stuff that I didn’t understand the day before my 20^th birthday. In 1969. I’ve had a long time on this journey to look at this stuff. Now we’re seeing folks that are taking this journey is a shorter amount of time. What started you on your journey to the conspiratorial side you might say?

Janet: In 2001 there was an attack on a family member [that proved fatal]. I wrote a book about what happened titled “Exile.” I tried to protect her all the way up the chain of command. It altered me irrevocably. All of it points to government involvement. Based on what happened to her and what started happening to me, I really had to revise my entire understanding of what America was. I already knew that some things had gone very wrong in our country. The Kennedy assassination comes to mind. While these things were happening with my mother, 9/11 happened, which obviously, to me, was a big red flag that something was going on that was not constitutionally supported. That was the beginning of my rabbit hole, where my life changed irrevocably.

Kris: “Exile” is available –

My reporting on bioweapons began around 2004. I lost my last mainstream gig in media through an effort to document what I was beginning to understand could be a pandemic delivery system which is extensively discussed in [my new book] “At the Breaking Point of History.” I made a Public Records Act request for some infrastructure records. Within six hours I was terminated from the Santa Monica Daily Press. The editor was extremely upset. She said she had not authorized me to ask infrastructure questions and that I was endangering her position as editor by asking these questions. From that point on I seemed to no longer be employable in mainstream media.

Kris: Reporters ask questions. Isn’t that what they do?

Janet: That’s a question that needs to be asked and asked and asked at this point in time because when one looks at the kinds of questions and the kinds of reporting going on now … reporters seem to be functioning more and more as scribes, so if someone in power says something, then the reporter writes it down and reports it. The kinds of questions that we need to ask on a daily basis seem to be missing from the vocabulary of most reporters.

Kris: You started looking at this in 2004. What’s one of the most shocking things that you’ve come across?

Janet: There’s been a number of shocking things. Section 817 of the USA PATRIOT Act, [with which] the US gives itself immunity from violating its own biological weapons laws. That means the US government can deploy, develop and stockpile biological weapons. Then Trump signed a modification of this law with a clause that says that there is no longer any private right of action under infrastructure laws, which means that should there be an attack through the infrastructure, which is part of the thesis of [“At the Breaking Point of History”}, we as citizens can’t do anything about it. What we’re seeing is an ultimate and final separation between the citizens, who are supposed to be sovereign, and the government, where the government can stockpile and deploy these weapons and we as citizens can’t do a darn thing about it.

Kris: Bioweapons are not just a United States thing. They’re an international phenomenon.

Janet: Absolutely. And with the development of research capabilities and findings about the human genome project, the situation with bioweapons has taken a quantum leap forward, because biological weapons can now be tailored to effect individuals, races … The whole situation has become far more complex and much more high tech. Many countries have been suspect in terms of developing biological weapons.

There came into existence, in the early seventies, an international treaty called the Biological Weapons Convention. One of the really unfortunate, again shocking, things about this treaty is that it has absolutely no teeth. There is nothing that would authorize any sort of verification that the countries that have signed onto the treaty are indeed complying with its mandates and there’s no way to enforce the treaty. And this is very peculiar in the world of disarmament. Other treaties have mechanisms that the Biological Weapons Convention does not.

One of the questions that I think we should be asking that people are not asking now is, how would you know the difference between a biological weapons attack and a pandemic? You would know what the media tells you but other than that, how would you know?

Kris: There are lots of players with lots of agendas out there, so it’s very hard for us to really determine as a person on the street what’s going on.
