Australia’s culling of 500,000 chickens is for a manufactured bird flu crisis



A private government report obtained this week in response to questions over the decision to kill over 500,000 chickens in Victoria, Australia shows that the people making the decision had no verifiable evidence of a high-risk infectious outbreak.


The chicken farms that were claimed to be infected were so distant from any possible bird source that it was unlikely or impossible to have happened without deliberate intervention or manipulation of testing.


The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (“CSIRO”), the Australian equivalent of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is the closest possible source of the “outbreak” and it is not the first time they have been involved in the emergence of “new” viruses.


The chicken cull would appear to be a manufactured crisis. So who manufactured this “crisis”? Dr. Ah Kahn Syed investigates.



One Flew Over the Chickens’ Nest, Arkmedic’s Blog, 10 June 2024

This week I received a copy of a government document sent in response to questions about this unusual event in Australia – the culling of 500,000 chickens: ‘Bird flu spread fears mean 500,000 chickens must be culled’.


Now, you might think that isn’t that much of a story – after all our food safety is paramount, so if there is a flock of chooks that is infected, we need to act early and cull them, right?


Not so fast. Bird flu is called bird flu because it affects birds. And just as the FDA told us that we are not horses (despite having to take this tweet and webpage down after a court order), we are not birds either. So, except in rare and odd circumstances (or some psychopathic scientist decides to make it adapt to humans), bird flu is zero risk to the human population. And once that chook has gone through the fryers at KFC any trace of the chookie sniffles will be long gone anyway.


So what event was so catastrophic that half a million chickens had to be culled (that is, killed, not to be eaten but to be disposed of without ever touching the food chain)?


Apparently, an outbreak in three farms of H7N3 bird flu1, with another farm 100km away affected by a different H7 strain – H7N9. And according to WAHIS (the animal outbreak monitoring agency), these are the only outbreaks this year in Australia – and they have appeared almost as far South as you can possibly get.


Near a place called Geelong in Victoria, the same state as Melbourne.

Map of the H7 bird flu outbreaks in Southern Australia, all sites within around 100km of Geelong, home of the CSIRO.


Now the interesting thing about the city of Geelong, for those who pay attention, is that it is the home of Australia’s version of the Wuhan Institute of Virology – the CSIRO. This, of course, is completely coincidental because there are obviously other routes that a bird-borne infectious outbreak can take other than being created by a scientific institute famous for manipulating identifying “novel” bat viruses.


As most bird flus are supposed to originate in Asia here is a nice map view of the route that the infected birds would take to get to Geelong. It’s a long way to fly, which may be why there isn’t any “naturally occurring” H5N1 (Asian Bird Flu) in Australia2. And if there were infectious diseases coming from Asia, you would see them in Queensland or the Northern Territories first.

In fact, most Asian birds tend not to migrate to Australia at all, which is partly why Australian birds are different from the rest of the world including such oddities as the Kookaburra, Black Swan, Cassowary and Ibis (commonly known as a bin chook for its uncanny ability to get food out of public dustbins).

So, if Australia is going to get H5N1 Bird Flu naturally it is going to be a bit of a tall order … unless … The clucky Bird Flu perpetrators come through the back door, from Antarctica.


Well of course Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, is one step ahead of you there with this amazingly clever prebunking video including CNN-level “dead-birds-in-a-row” staged dead bird carnage images – to really make you think it’s bad out there.




ABC News In Depth: Deadly bird flu is leaving a ‘trail of destruction’ in Antarctica and has scientists on edge,

And if you REALLY aren’t sure how DEADLY this is, we are not only going to show you dead pelicans lined up on snow but WE ARE GOING TO PUT 100 MILLION KILLED IN RED – and make it look like the COVID dashboard.

ABC News In Depth: Deadly bird flu is leaving a ‘trail of destruction’ in Antarctica and has scientists on edge (timestamp 3:07)

There. Are you scared yet? No? Well, we haven’t finished. Certainly Jo Sillince, CEO of the “Australian Chicken Growers Council” isn’t, because she appears in both the ABC’s news article telling us how scary this could all be AND in the video above telling us that the main risk is from Antarctica.

Joanne Sillince CEO of the Australian Chicken Growers Council (Image ABC)

So, if you’re not scared of Joanne, or the ABC, you damn well better be because there is BIRD FLU COMING FROM ANTARCTICA TO KILL THE CHICKENS.


And, not wanting to point out the obvious or anything but getting bird flu from Antarctica is not that easy. You see the major migration patterns of birds don’t really include a pathway from Antarctica to Australia.


And even if the odd Antarctic Albatross were to accidentally find its way to the coffee shops of Melbourne it would have struggled to pick up an Asian bird flu in the snowy wastes of Antarctica.


And then there are the penguins. Penguins are birds, in case you didn’t know. They can fly but only in the fluid medium of water (most birds fly in the fluid medium of water vapour, i.e. air). So, they could make it to the south coast of Australia to drop their bird flu droppings – but not much further without a long walk. And if you saw a family of penguins on the road to Geelong, I’m pretty sure you would have seen it in the news.


And just before we start with the real story of what is going on I need to give some background on Michelle Wille, friend and co-authors of Edward Holmes, co-authors of the EcoHealth scientists discussed further below.


Michelle is the senior scientist in the “Antarctic Chickens” video above and essentially runs the “scary virus” campaigns in Australia, sucking up huge amounts of funding for “pandemic preparedness” which never actually prevents pandemics.


Here she is attempting to scare the bejeezus out of you with an article in The Conversation, which hosted the very same buddy Eddie Holmes two years ago with a similar story telling us how we were all crazy for thinking that covid came from a laboratory. Except it turns out that it did.

Chickens, ducks, seals and cows: a dangerous bird flu strain is knocking on Australia’s door, The Conversation, 22 May 2024

Can you see how this works?


  1. Create virus using either an existing virus, or a novel virus or a manipulated virus.

  2. Create scare about virus, even if it’s not that dangerous (if at all).

  3. Create bogeyman conspiracy theorist for public ridicule if anybody questions the creation of a virus.

  4. Rinse and repeat, taking in millions of dollars of public funding to “prevent” the next scary virus that you don’t prevent at all.


The Crazy Explanations


So, could there be another explanation than Antarctic chickens flying over the Southern Ocean and infecting their temperate brethren?


Well, given that the CSIRO is in the very neighbourhood where the majority of the outbreaks are we might want to look there to see if, perhaps, they might possibly have had anything to do with an N7N3 outbreak next door, or if in fact, a H7N3 outbreak is of any consequence at all.


So, let’s look at the two scenarios (which are not mutually exclusive) but before we do just a little reminder of the reason for the title for those that are not old enough to remember one of the most awarded films of all time. I was contemplating captioning it, but I’ll leave it like this for now.

Crazy Explanation 1: The Scary Spillover Virus


In this scenario this specific and scary influenza strain leaked from the CSIRO and got onto the farm, killed some birds and so a lockdown had to be imposed.


Sound familiar?


Maybe they had to go in white suits and weld the chicken coop door closed and there will be videos soon of chickens (non-Antarctic variety) dropping down dead on the farm path. With masks on.


The problem is that the CSIRO has form. It was rightly implicated as a co-contributor to the Wuhan SARS-Cov-2 origins in Sharri Markson’s exposé two years ago which you can see in this 10-minute clip from Sky News.

Now of course for any institution to be involved with manipulating viruses to make them “different” for a specific purpose you would expect that they would be affiliated with one of those DURC programs … that is, “Dual Use Research of Concern” – which is WHO-speak for “we are saying that we are making vaccines but actually we are working with the US military doing, you know, US military stuff.”


And, if they were doing such things, you would probably find a trail of involvement with the following institutions, which enjoy funding from the US military through DARPA (the progeny of Operation Paperclip as discussed recently).


Phew. No CSIRO here, just the usual suspects UC DavisEcoHealth (Peter Daszak’s organisation implicated in the origin of covid) and Metabiota, the organisation linked to Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca3. All super nice people. And all working under the umbrella of the fluffy-sounding: “OneHealth Institute.

Source: CanariesBlue on Twitter

It’s all very “sustainable goals” – aka global fascism – under the umbrella of “global health.” Except, these people want to be in charge of your global health, whether you consent or not.

Now, if the person involved in creating the covid virus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was commonly known as “Bat Woman” her equivalent at the CSIRO would be Gary Crameri.

You could previously see him talking about the CSIRO’s fabulous achievement finding the “origin of the virus SARS” back in the day but the ABC deleted the video in 20204, presumably because there was something in it that implicated either Crameri or the CSIRO in gain-of-function (or DURC) research. At least you get to hear what Gary had to say because the ABC forgot to delete the audio.


[Please note:  We were unable to extract the audio to include in our article either from ABC’s or from Arkmedic’s article.  However, in attempting to do so, we were able to find and download a copy of the video that ABC has deleted or as it is labelled in ABC’s article “Sorry, this video is not yet available or has expired.”  We have uploaded a copy of this video below which is a little longer but very similar to the audio Arkmedic includes in his article.]

The CSIRO’s Gary Crameri speaks with News Breakfast(Cameron Best), 30 October 2013 (3 mins).  Source ABC.

Of course, there is no reason to believe or confirm that “Chinese horseshoe bats” created SARS any more than a Pangolin and a bat created “covid”5, but what we do know is that Gary Crameri was one of the authors of this seminal paper and you can see who the other authors are here:


For those not aware, Lin-Fa Wang and Peter Daszak are the prime movers in the EcoHealth Alliance – the main protagonist implicated in the creation of covid – along with Zeng-Li Shi from Wuhan. Of course, the authors declare “no conflicts of interest” but back in the day taking money from US military funding sources USAID and PREDICT was probably not considered a “conflict,” presumably because at that time very few people knew that the US military was continuing to commit war crimes by manipulating pathogens in contravention of the Biological Weapons Convention (“BWC”).


If you read the above note at the end of their paper it is also worth knowing that the “State Key Program” is the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party’s) scientific funding stream.


Further reading into Lin-Fa Wang shows that his primary affiliation is with Duke University in Singapore from where he runs the PREPARE programme, essentially Asia’s version of the PREDICT programme and similar to the PREEMPT programme. All of these are essentially schemes that funnel hundreds of millions of dollars from the US taxpayer via USAID and DARPA (Paperclip’s nightmare progeny) to scientists to (purportedly) swab bat bums and never actually ever create a single drug of benefit to the people funding them.

Note that the above DARPA grant included a CSIRO-linked company called “Autonomous Therapeutics” that makes “Encrypted RNA” which isn’t at all creepy and really doesn’t sound likely to be military hardware does it?


Well, whatever it isn’t, it certainly is a vaccine company and this is what we find constantly.


  • Public money goes to clandestine military organisations.

  • The military pays academic institutions to conduct “viral research” to “prepare for a pandemic.”

  • A pandemic of varying severity happens, annually.

  • More viral research happens as a result of the “pandemic.”

  • New vaccines are pushed on the public to “counteract the pandemic” that never would have happened if they hadn’t been making viruses.

  • The proceeds from the vaccines go to the scientists and pharmaceutical companies who used public money to do the research.


Nice money laundering job if you can get it. It’s called “double dipping.”

All the institutions and people involved are of course chummy with each other and they all want to tell us how important they are. Here is Colin Carlson from UC Davis (again), who declares “no conflicts of interest” despite his institute being funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, who are basically Big Pharma and having received $100m from USAID for “pandemic preparedness” under the “OneHealth” (aka EcoHealth) umbrella6.

So, now you know who most of the players are in this “pandemic preparedness” racket it is worth knowing that the team from the CSIRO have form with “finding viruses” that then are used to create “new vaccines”. The very same people did this with the Hendra virus (conveniently discovered in Australia in 1994 and appearing in very sporadic Ebola-like outbreaks) and for which the CSIRO’s “Hendra team” won an award for creating a vaccine, marketed by Zoetis (the veterinary branch of Pfizer) in 2013. The vaccine itself was authorised in 2012, just one year (conveniently) after a sudden and dramatic increase in cases over an 8-week period in 2011, where there were more cases than the 20 years prior.


Of course, the vaccine was “safe and effective” (unless you ask the horse owners) and for a disease that was rare, yet enforced on the horse trainers as a mandate. Does that sound familiar? No vaccine = No veterinary service.


Furthermore, if you’re paying attention, you will see the same players involved – Linfa Wang and Gary Crameri along with the department head Deborah Middleton.


And these are the same people (with the addition of Hume Field of EcoHealth) who incidentally “discovered a novel strain of Hendra-like virus from bats” in 2012, which they called the Cedar Virus.

PubMed, 2 August 2012

The Cedar virus was not only totally new but the very same people patented it. This means it was also synthetic – because you can’t patent something that exists in nature unless you manipulate it in some way to make it different. Of course, it is purely coincidental that this group also created a totally novel bat cell line only two years earlier, by adding the oncogenes SV40 and hTERT to bat cells.


And where did the funding for that “let’s make a bat cell line we can passage viruses through” work come from? The US military of course7, via a guy called Chris Broder and the NIAID (Tony Fauci’s organisation). You really can’t make this stuff up.


And why am I telling you about all these people linked to the CSIRO and OneHealth?


It’s because last week, while we were being drip-fed guano from the ABC about Antarctic chickens, there was a meeting held about the “urgent risk of H5N1 bird flu in Australia” – which of course the scene had been set by the culling of birds because of an “outbreak” of a totally different bird flu (H7 remember?).


And who was hosting this meeting? OneHealth of course, cleverly disguised as the “Centre for Infectious Diseases and Microbiology” but which is just one big web of vested interest microbiology groups coordinating with OneHealth.

The big players were here – including Dr. Michelle Wille who is the person in the ABC video early telling us that the scary bird flu is coming from the Antarctic Chickens or whatever. Here she is too, receiving an award for her work with Eddie Holmes in 20208:


To make sure everybody sings from the correct hymn sheet, OneHealth now have its own department at NSW Health (the main health body in Australia that drive most policy) – although you can’t find it. It only exists in certain documents, such as the programme above (full programme posted in footnotes)9.


The head of OneHealth-NSW Health is Keira Glasgow who was on that panel.


And also on the panel is Frank Wong from the CSIRO showing the audience how scary H5N1 (the one that really can’t get to Australia without external help from “scientists”) is.



Notice the “spillover” idea where the bird flu suddenly turns into a mammalian high-risk pathogen. That doesn’t happen without the help of places like the CSIRO. It’s just a thing you see in movies and laboratories. It happens in laboratories because viruses are repeatedly passaged through specific cell types, like the ones that the CSIRO created for this purpose. For example, the “UK variant of covid” (N501Y) was made this way in 202010.


But there are two important things to note at this point:


  1. The “scary” flu strain is H5N1, but it can’t get to Australia unless somebody brings it here – or makes it here.

  2. The not-so-scary one is H7N3, which is the excuse the government used to cull 500,000 chickens.


The second of these, H7N3, is essentially endemic and so we are going to discuss it in the next section.


But H5N1 is problematic and given that Australia is naturally protected from it, the last thing you would want is the CSIRO doing live experiments with H5N1.


Well, it’s too late. Because they already are. From our government report:

Q: Were any experiments being conducted using live H5N1, H7N9 or H7N3 influenza, or clones of these 3 strains of influenza, at the CSIRO during 2021–24?
A: During the relevant time period, CSIRO staff working in high biocontainment conditions and to strict regulatory measures conducted live virus experimental work with a range of H5N1 subtypes to improve our understanding of the virus. No experiments were done with live H7N3 or H7N9 viruses.

Bingo.

Now you have got this far, nurse Ratched just needs to check that you have taken your meds and you are not going to revolt at the next bit which outlines the more likely explanation of what happened in Victoria (as opposed to what might happen).


Crazy Explanation 2: The Endemic Virus


This explanation is much simpler but shows how the propaganda works. If you’ve been paying attention you would realise that all the bluster is about scary H5N1, which isn’t in Australia (at least not in any meaningful way), which can’t infect humans without manipulation and for which “vaccines” are already on their way.


Yet the cull of 500,000 birds was made mostly on the basis of an outbreak of H7N3 near Geelong. That is, an H7 bird flu.


Well, H7 is a different kettle of Antarctic chickens altogether. According to a recent paper from the very same people that are discussed above (Michelle Wille, Eddie Holmes, Frank Wong) conducting research at the same institutions (CSIRO and others with funding from the Australian Government and NIAID grants), H7 appears to be pretty much endemic in Australia.


Here’s the paper: ‘Australia as a global sink for the genetic diversity of avian influenza A virus’.  And here is the distribution of types according to the paper, showing a pretty strong distribution of H7 types among all the various strains detected:


Fig 2. HA-NA subtype linkage in data generated for this study, Wille M, Grillo V, Ban de Gouvea Pedroso S, Burgess GW, Crawley A, Dickason C, et al. (2022) Australia as a global sink for the genetic diversity of avian influenza A virus. PLoS Pathog 18(5): e1010150. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1010150

And in the supplementary, there is this pretty chart, which shows the probability of sequencing a particular genome from a sample that “tests positive” by PCR:

Probability of success of getting full sequences of H7N3 from Australian birds, which correlates to infectivity. Ct values higher than 28 represent mostly “junk.”

It’s very enlightening and shows that the more strongly the polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) test is positive – by a lower Cycle Threshold (“Ct”) value – the more likely that the sample can produce a valid sequence. This was also well known during “covid” where the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) dictated that for a positive “covid test” any value of Ct greater than 28 was pretty useless for gene sequencing11.


For the same reason, most infectious samples are found where the Ct value is well below 25 cycles. This is because the PCR test can pick up non-infectious fragments of RNA and can’t differentiate those from actively infectious particles. However, the lower the value the more likely the infectious particles are to be intact and hence infectious.


The higher the Ct threshold – the Ct value below which you call the test positive – the more likely to you are to be picking up non-infectious junk. As you can see from the chart, the point at which the test moves from “likely infectious” to “picking up junk” is somewhere around 30-35 at most.


So, the government was asked what values they were using to detect Antarctic Chicken Flu on the bird farms that they have isolated it from.  This is what was returned:

Information regarding the following 6 questions has been requested from CSIRO, the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and Agriculture Victoria:  
1.    How many individual animals have been tested at each of the three sites (i.e. Terang, Meredith and Lethbridge)? 
2.    How many chickens at each site were found to have tested positive?
3.    How many individual cases of each H7N9 and H7N3 were found at each site? 
4.    How many deaths (due to infection, not cull) have been recorded at each site?
A. Questions 1-4: Confirming these are questions best directed to Agriculture Victoria as CSIRO does not have this information.
5.    If PCR was the primary testing modality, is it yet known at what Ct value were the tests performed or claimed to be positive at?
A. Ct values for realtime PCR assays have to be interpreted in the context of the test system for which they have been validated and do not provide an absolute comparator outside of that context. The assays used by CSIRO’s Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness, which are validated as a part of our ISO 17025 accredited quality system, are considered to be positive for a Ct value of 40 or below, negative for a Ct value above 45 and indeterminate between these values. Other laboratories will however establish their own cutoff values in accordance with their own accreditation systems.

So, not only do the CSIRO and DAFF not know where the testing was done but who did it, how many chickens were positive, what Ct values they were positive at and how many actually died of Antarctic Chicken flu.

Antarctic panda chickens. They are not real.

One Flew Over the Chickens’ Nest, Arkmedic’s Blog, 10 June 2024

This sounds very much like covid, as we explained earlier in the year, where the “covid test” drove the pandemic protocol changes that almost certainly killed more people than would have died if no testing had been performed at all and patients had instead been treated for the consequences of infection, such as bacterial pneumonia, as they had been for decades.



And just like covid with its anonymous protocols and guidelines arising from the WHO’s “MAGICapp,” nobody knows who made the decision.  In their own words and after a second request:

Q: Please provide the department name or contact who can provide information on the decision to cull the birds.
A: Agriculture Victoria is part of the Victorian Government’s Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) and is responsible for regulating biosecurity threats and emergencies in the state. It is likely to be the best contact for this information. Contact information is provided on the ‘Contact us’ webpage.

Conclusion


So, there you have it. Nobody knows anything but half a million chickens were killed and now there is an egg shortage. Who would have thought?


Yet, to justify this cull, OneHealth and their affiliated organisations were recruited to propagandise a different pandemic influenza that has never reached Australia and that doesn’t naturally affect the human population, just to confuse the public.


Those very organisations are paid hundreds of millions of dollars from the public to continue these scares to justify their existence, when it is possible – if not now likely – that every “pandemic” this century was precipitated by the actions of those very same organisations.

It needs to stop. If you are going to destroy the food supply, at least have the decency to produce verifiable evidence for your overzealous overreaction on request.


Meanwhile, all of us whom the government silenced and called “crazy conspiracy theorists” should now go back to the Cuckoo’s Nest for our next round of medication from Nurse Ratched.  For our safety, of course.
