Scientists Warn of Unstoppable Threat from Lab-Created Mirror Bacteria
December 14, 2024
The ability to manipulate life at a molecular level has opened new doors in science, but it has also raised serious concerns. …
The rapid progress in synthetic biology comes with risks that scientists say we are not fully prepared to manage.
Now, a group of international researchers is warning that one such innovation — mirror-image bacteria — could become a danger too great to ignore.
These lab-created organisms, designed as reverse molecular replicas of natural life, may defy immune systems and existing antibiotics.
The warning stems from a 299-page report authored by 38 leading experts, including Nobel laureates and genome-sequencing pioneer Dr. Craig Venter.
The group argues that pursuing this line of research without stringent safeguards could unleash what they describe as “an unprecedented threat” to ecosystems and public health.
Mirror bacteria, also known as chiral organisms, are built from molecules that are structurally flipped versions of those found in nature. https://www.msn.com/en-au/health/other/scientists-warn-of-unstoppable-threat-from-lab-created-mirror-bacteria/ar-AA1vQE4X
What are “mirror bacteria”?
To understand mirror bacteria, we first need to take a look at one of the key properties of the molecules of life as we know them; they have homochirality, or uniformity of “handedness”. This means that they only come in one particular form that cannot be superposed onto its mirror image.
You can visualize this property using a pair of gloves. Place them out in front of you so that they’re mirroring each other, then put the right one on top of the left. Try rotating it – no matter what you do, they’ll never line up perfectly.
High school biology teachers will likely have told you that DNA is exclusively “right-handed”, while nearly all amino acids are left-handed. The processes in our cells and those of other organisms rely on these conformations, and they can govern how organisms interact with each other too.
In mirror bacteria, however, the molecules of life are – as you might’ve guessed from the name – mirrored. …
Are mirror bacteria a risk to us?
The expert group – which includes a number of Nobel laureates, famed geneticists, and those trying to de-extinct the woolly mammoth – doesn’t mince its words.
“Although we were initially skeptical that mirror bacteria could pose major risks, we have become deeply concerned […] our view is that mirror bacteria and other mirror organisms should not be created,” they write in a policy forum that summarizes the findings of their report.
One of the primary reasons for this is because of the potential implications for the spread of disease. 12/13/24 https://www.iflscience.com/what-are-mirror-bacteria-and-are-they-a-threat-to-humanity-77220
Urging companies and nations not to do something will not stop some from deciding that there is an advantage in doing research like that.
When discussing the results of those who do not wish to listen to God, the Apostle Paul warned about them being covetous, traitors, and disobedient, plus warned those people were also “inventors of evil things” (Romans 1:30). What is known as synthetic biology can often lead to inventions of evil things.
Nowadays with Artificial Intelligence, this looks to be a way to accelerate the trend to invent dangerous microorganisms, among other evil things.
Consider the following risk related to AI reported this past Spring:
BIOWEAPONS
May 9, 2024
The American intelligence community, think tanks and academics are increasingly concerned about risks posed by foreign bad actors gaining access to advanced AI capabilities. Researchers at Gryphon Scientific and Rand Corporation noted that advanced AI models can provide information that could help create biological weapons.
Gryphon studied how large language models (LLM) – computer programs that draw from massive amounts of text to generate responses to queries – could be used by hostile actors to cause harm in the domain of life sciences and found they “can provide information that could aid a malicious actor in creating a biological weapon by providing useful, accurate and detailed information across every step in this pathway.”
They found, for example, that an LLM could provide post-doctoral level knowledge to trouble-shoot problems when working with a pandemic-capable virus.
Rand research showed that LLMs could help in the planning and execution of a biological attack. They found an LLM could for example suggest aerosol delivery methods for botulinum toxin. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/from-deepfakes-to-bioweapons-all-you-need-to-know-about-threats-posed-by-ai-5627182
Last December, NewsMax reported the following:
Gordon Chang to Newsmax: China Working on Bioweapons
December 25, 2023 8:30 pm
Gordon G. Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” told Newsmax that Beijing is experimenting with what appears to be biological weapons targeting human brains. …
“These are biological weapons, and China isn’t part of the Biological Weapons Convention that would outlaw this,” Chang explained. …
The Times’ report cited recent studies by the Chinese Communist Party on biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-related disturbances in enemy troops.
Other potential weapons would create a connection between the brain and external devices, as well as pharmaceuticals designed to impair people genetically and physiologically.
“This whole idea of ‘genetic drugs,’ although it has not really been fleshed out, clearly it is a biological weapon. And certainly, the other weapons that we’ve been talking about in this Washington Times report … [are] essentially biological-influenced,” Chang stated.
Chang believes it is time now more than ever to challenge China on their biological weapons program, which he suggested could be responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/gordon-chang-china-brain/2023/12/25/id/1147150/
So, since China did not sign the treaty saying it would not do so, it may well be that it is working on these type of weapons.
As far as biological warfare and China goes, back in January 2020, we put out the following video:

Biological Warfare and Prophecy
Is biological warfare possible? Was it prophesied? Scientists have long warned that pathogenic organisms like the coronavirus could be weaponized. Furthermore, back in 2017, there were concerns that the biological research facility being constructed in Wuhan, China was risky and that a coronavirus from it could be released. On January 25, 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping publicly stated that the situation with the Wuhan-related strain of the coronavirus was grave. Did Church of God writers like the late evangelist Raymond McNair warn that engineered viruses (the “Doomsday bug”) were consistent with prophecies from Jesus? Did a warning from CCOG leader Bob Thiel warn about risks of genetically-modified (GMO) mosquitoes come to pass? Could human research and/or the consumption of biblically-unclean animals such as bats and snakes be a factor in current outbreaks or coming future pestilences? What about famines? How devastating have pestilences been? How devastating are the prophesied ones going to be? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to our video: Biological Warfare and Prophecy.
That said, treaty or not, other nations, including the USA are involved in biological warfare research–which does imply the ability to produce biological weapons.
There have been many reports over the years about the USA being involved with pathogen research for use in biological warfare. Last summer, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was interviewed by Tucker Carlson about that. Here is something about that:
RFK Jr. Warns Of Thousands Of “DEATH SCIENTISTS” Developing Killer Microbes In America
“We are making bioweapons.”
August 15, 2023
During an interview with Tucker Carlson, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr warned that there are thousands of so called ‘scientists’ developing killer bioweapons inside America without oversight.
The topic was raised when the pair began to discuss biolabs in Ukraine, with Kennedy noting that the U.S. “has biolabs in Ukraine because we are making bioweapons.”
He then went on to state that “Anthony Fauci got all the responsibility for bio-weapons development,” adding that after three bugs escaped from three labs in the U.S. “In 2014, 300 scientists wrote to President Obama and said ‘you’ve gotta shut down Anthony Fauci, because he is going to create a microbe that will cause a global pandemic.’”
“And so Obama signed a moratorium and shut down the 18 worst of Anthony Fauci’s experiments, where most of them were taking place in North Carolina by a scientist called Ralph Baric,” Kennedy added. https://summit.news/2023/08/15/video-rfk-jr-warns-of-thousands-of-death-scientists-developing-killer-microbes-in-america/
Could the USA be so involved?
Well, it is not supposed to be:
The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons. It was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
The United States officially agreed to it in 1975, as did most nations in the world.
Officially, the USA claims it has no biological weapons.
However, it admits that it is involved with biological research on pathogenic microorganisms, as are many other countries. The USA and many others claim that the research is entirely peaceful and that the biological pathogenic agents can be, and supposedly are, under complete control.
If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. gets into the Cabinet of the Trump-Vance Administration, it is possible he will look more into this.
That said, notice something else from last Spring:
Exposing the Link Between Lyme Disease and Secret U.S. Biowarfare Experiments
May 11, 2024
Declassified documents reveal that the seemingly innocuous island off the coast of Connecticut may have been ground zero for government experiments with weaponized ticks, possibly unleashing Lyme disease upon an unsuspecting public.
In 2008, Kris Newby, after extensive research, released a groundbreaking documentary on Lyme disease. The film sparked widespread discussion about the origins of Lyme disease and the reasons behind its increasing prevalence. …
Plum Island, an 840-acre island located just a mile off the north fork at the eastern end of Long Island, is notorious for its secretive government experiments involving bioweapons. Newby highlighted this in a discussion with Tucker Carlson, emphasizing the island’s mysterious and concerning activities.
Bioweapons Testing Facility and Disease Cluster
People living near Plum Island started getting diseases like Lyme arthritis, rickettsiosis, and babesiosis all around the same time. Tucker Carlson discussed this and wondered if these diseases came from government experiments.
https://rairfoundation.com/exposing-link-between-lyme-disease-secret-u-s/
Whether or not Lyme Disease was human-engineered, it can be a very, very difficult disease to treat. But sadly, humans (and apparently also with the use of AI) are looking to make more devastating diseases.
And as it turns out, it is usually not difficult to turn biological pathogens into weapons.
The USA certainly has dangerous biological agents from which it could do so. So do many other nations.
Remember that Jesus Himself warned that the “signs” of the end of the age would include pestilences:
7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8)
11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11)
Biological warfare agents certainly can be a factor in pestilences.
Furthermore, in the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation, the ride of four horsemen are described. The passages about the fourth horseman are as follows:
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)
So, the opening of the fourth seal is the time that the pale horse of death is apparently increasing death by war, hunger, and pestilences (the beasts of the earth).
Could humans intentionally cause some of that?
Certainly.
More pestilences are coming (Revelation 6:7-8).
In the summer of 2023, we put out the following video:

Biological Weapons and the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse
Tucker Carlson interviewed Democratic presidential party candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK). During that interview, RFK asserted that the United States has had thousands of scientists working on making bioweapons. Officially, the USA has denied this as it is a party to the Biological Weapons Convention. RFK states that Anthoy Fauci was responsible for biological weapons development. Does the ‘Global South’ consider that the West may intend to exterminate people through biological warfare? Did Jesus prophesy pestilences? Have humans engaged in biological or germ warfare for millennia? What were some things that Raymond McNair warned about over 50 years ago? Can we trust scientists to totally safely control all the infectious agents they work with? Could humankind be developing, knowingly or unknowingly, biological agents that could be responsible for many of the deaths that are prophesied to occur with the ride of the ‘pale horse of death,’ which is the fourth of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to ride? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.
Here is a link to our video: Biological Weapons and the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Biological pathogens developed by humans are a real threat.
Do NOT trust the scientists who say that they are simply trying to help us fight diseases and can always control them–they DO NOT KNOW all the risks, no matter what they say.
Do not count on scientists and nations doing the right thing and not experimenting with mirror-bacteria and other types of dangerous synthetic biology.
Humans, directly or indirectly, will be a factor in the coming, more severe pestilences. Adding AI to the mix adds additional risk.
