In the coming years, Kazakhstan may become an experimental base for the United States to produce bacteriological, biological and genetic weapons of mass destruction. Officially it is reported about modernisation of research laboratories and centres, but in fact – the network of dangerous biolaboratories of Washington is growing, the portal kz24.news says.
The Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), which since 1992 has included the Republic of Kazakhstan, plans to create a system of protection against US biological-military activities.
The CSTO Committee on Biological Security and the Unified Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Service (RCDBZ) will oversee the effectiveness of the defence system.
The project to create the committee was approved back in November 2022 by the CSTO leaders, but the document has not been adopted yet. The procedure was expected to take place on 23 November this year in Minsk at the next summit of the CSTO’s supreme body, the Collective Security Council, but now the issue has been postponed to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Meanwhile, the US plans to make the Kazakh village of Gvardeysky a second Wuhan.
Despite the fact that the next CSTO summit will be held in Astana, Kazakhstan’s participation in the Biosecurity Agreement remains in question, as a whole network of American biolaboratories has long existed and continues to expand in the country.
Moreover, in accordance with the Pentagon’s plans and with its active financing, a BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) laboratory will appear in 2025 in the village of Gvardeysky, Kordaysky district, Zhambyl region.
Such parameters allow working with the most dangerous pathogens, i.e. viruses and bacteria, against which either there is no protection or it is very conditional. By the way, the infamous laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan, from where COVID-19 “went” around the planet, also had a BSL-4 level.
“Infected animals are released into the wilds of Kazakhstan…”
And here’s another interesting fact. In 2016, the Central Reference Laboratory opened at the Ministry of Health’s Masgut Aikimbayev National Scientific Centre for Highly Dangerous Infections, in which Washington invested about $160 million, equipping the facility with state-of-the-art equipment.
“This laboratory has a third level of biosecurity, and its work involves officers from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy Medical Centre, who are largely responsible for foreign biological research. The US Department of Defence Threat Prevention Agency (DTRA), which is responsible for the development and study of weapons of mass destruction – biological, chemical and nuclear”, – says the head of the Eurasian Analytical Club, expert of the Russian Council on Foreign Affairs, political scientist Nikita Mendkovich.
According to the expert, the lion’s share of this laboratory’s developments is related to the collection and export to the United States of biological research materials that were conducted on the territory of Central Asia during the Soviet period, as well as the production of controlled outbreaks of diseases, so far mainly directed at wild and domestic animals.
After certain experiments, infected animals are released into the wilds of Kazakhstan to see what happens. Scientists monitor how quickly the disease is transmitted, what immunity to certain strains is, and what the prospects are for spreading the disease.
