I did not initially think this Why Files would be something entertaining for me...Well I was wrong as many of the things I (we) have heard over the years about underground Alien bases, CIA disinformation program, people dying, and some of the people still making headlines today with their utterances are discussed in the "Why Files" way. Enjoy

Quote:Exposing Underground Alien Bases: CIA's Psychic UFO Hunters

During the 1960s and 70s, the United States and the Soviet Union fought the Cold War on many fronts. Some of these engagements were obvious, like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the proxy wars in Asia.

Other conflicts were not so obvious. In the 1970s, America and Russia engaged in a new type of warfare: psychic warfare.

The CIA was actively recruiting and training people with a natural talent for remote viewing. Remote viewing is projecting your consciousness to anywhere on Earth and beyond.

One remote viewer, entirely by accident, found himself at Mount Hayes in Alaska. Mount Hayes is in the middle of nowhere. There's no civilization for miles. But something was calling him to the mountain.

Then he looked *inside* the mountain. There was a base hidden inside Mount Hayes. Then he saw - this was not a base built by humans.

When multiple sources confirmed the existence of the base, they soon realized: this was only the beginning.

Quote:Biden’s speech this weekend will likely be similar to his Moloch speech

In September 2022, Biden delivered the most divisive and evil speech in US history.


The imagery was shocking.

The red glow.

The shadowy Marines standing behind Joe Biden as he threatened millions of Trump supporters.

“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law … They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence,” said Biden.

Quote:Under Biden, American patriots are in jail without due process, and his main political opponent President Donald Trump has been indicted four times. Let’s not forget that numerous blue states are trying to remove Trump from the 2024 ballots.

Biden exploits January 6th to push his leftist agenda.


TGP reported on Wednesday that crooked Joe will be at Valley Forge this Saturday to talk about the dangers of white supremacy. Apparently, all Trump supporters are white supremacists according to Biden.


Saturday will be the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 fed-surrection where Capitol Police Officers fired on unsuspecting Trump supporters without warning and killed three Trump supporters through violence. A fourth Trump supporter died that day from a heart attack.


No Capitol police officers died in the riots.


Joe Biden will use the J6 anniversary to accuse Trump supporters of being white supremacists.

Not surprising as they are not only supporting it but plan to make them voters shortly.

Quote:The Biden administration is suing Texas to prevent the state from arresting migrants who flout U.S. immigration law to enter the state illegally, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday.



The DOJ is making good on its threat to sue Texas over enforcing S.B. 4, a new law signed in December 2023 that would permit local and state authorities to arrest and prosecute individuals suspected of entering the U.S. illegally, according to the DOJ and NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. Texas Illegal immigration has surged to record levels under the Biden administration, with Texas seeing a massive influx of migrants arriving at its border with Mexico.


“The Constitution assigns the federal government the authority to regulate immigration and manage our international borders. Pursuant to this authority, Congress has established a comprehensive framework governing the entry of noncitizens into the United States and the removal of noncitizens from the country,” the DOJ stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit. “Because SB 4 is preempted by federal law and violates the U.S. Constitution, the Justice Department seeks a declaration that SB 4 is invalid and an order preliminarily and permanently enjoining the state from enforcing the law.”

In 2023 alone, the Biden administration caught and released into the interior more than 824,000 illegal immigrants at the southern border, enough to fill more than 17 Yankee stadiums. Additionally, federal law enforcement personnel intercepted more than 229,000 pounds of drugs, including approximately 22,000 pounds of fentanyl, at the southern border last year.



“President Biden has repeatedly refused to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books and do his job to secure the border,” Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “In his absence, Texas has the constitutional authority to secure our border through historic laws like SB 4. Texas will take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary to protect Texans from President Biden’s dangerous open border policies.”
As of September 2023, an estimated 3.8 million migrants had entered the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to the New York Post. In December 2023 alone, federal law enforcement encountered approximately 300,000 migrants at the southern border, making it the highest monthly figure ever recorded, according to Fox News.


“Texas cannot disregard the United States Constitution and settled Supreme Court precedent,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the DOJ’s Civil Division, said of the lawsuit. “We have brought this action to ensure that Texas adheres to the framework adopted by Congress and the Constitution for regulation of immigration.”
Meanwhile, House Republicans are reportedly planning an impeachment hearing for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas — who partially blamed the surge in immigration on climate change earlier Wednesday — for how he has handled the situation at the border, according to Reuters. The White House, which dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris to spearhead an effort to stem the tide of illegal immigration in 2021, has asserted that nobody has done “more” with regard to the border than Biden and that the administration is “stopping the flow” of illegal immigration.


Neither the White House nor the DOJ responded immediately to requests for comment.

The proposed budget for DoD in fiscal year 2024 totals $842 billion. Adjusted for inflation, that amount is about the same as the amount appropriated for 2023 (excluding the supplemental funding provided in 2023) but is 5 percent more than the amount anticipated for 2024 in the previous FYDP.

Remember "The Clapper?"

Clap on

Clap off

Clap on...Clap off........the clapper. 

Well, I think we should take this simple tech and put it in our TV remotes!

Why, you ask?

Because I'm sick and tired of setting my remote down in my bed, right ******g next to me, just to have that little bastard dissappear on me, like it's been sucked into a black hole. 

That's why! Lol

We should put the clapper tech, along with a light that flashes, a vibration, and a beep, so I can find my G-d da-- remote in the middle of the night without tearing my bed apart just to find my remote right beside me again.


Deep breath....

Lol okay, rant over.

There! There's a million dollar idea. Someone go make that shit happen. Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I just saw this video :




Which off course devasted me . I have a twelve year old son, and he was bullied as well before I started homeschooling him.
I absolutely hate how bullying is still ignored in schools and imo bullying by kids should be treated as assault and criminally charged as juvies.  These bullies will and often do become career criminals.

Anyway, I was thinking as I'm home all day homeschooling my son, I could easily add on a second child. 
I would do this for free, or very low pay , to help parents who can't afford to stay home to homeschool their bullied child.
The requirment is that the child is being bullied and that the parents can't afford to homeschool their child as they need to work. Does this sound like a reasonable idea or am I nuts? If I can help one child from being bullied , and especially stop one child from killing themselves it's worth it to me. 

What do you guys think? Legal risk , other risks etc? 

My son uses an online homeschool platform so the child would have to use something similar. I would be there to keep this child company and watch him. I would not get involved with more than that.
Off course for my son I print and check worksheets as IMO the online platform alone is not enough..

Thoughts?

This is good.

Quote:Introduction: It has often been repeatedhere is “no evidence” of fraud in the 2020 Election. In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won.

Ongoing investigations in the Swing States reveal hundreds of thousands of votes were altered and/or not lawfully cast in the Presidential Election. Joe Biden needed them. On Election Night Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump was sailing to reelection with landslide leads in numerous battlegrounds. In Georgia, President Trump was up by 12 points, and over 335,000 votes, with 56 percent of the vote in at 10:17 p.m. In Wisconsin, President Trump was leading by 121,380 votes and 5 points at 12:12 a.m., which Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted was “not a small margin.” In Pennsylvania, President Trump was leading by 659,145 votes at 12:38 a.m., a full 15 points. In Michigan, President Trump was leading by 293,052 votes and 10 points.

The election was over. However, precincts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee kept counting until the results reached the desired outcome, which was the opposite of the will of the voters. Georgia went from having a total of 4.7 million votes, already a record for the state, according to Brad Raffensperger’s count on Nov. 4, to certifying almost 5 million. This was 300,000 more votes than what the top elections official claimed were cast in the Election.

Getting to this result in Georgia, and other states, created an irredeemably compromised Election, filled with violations of the Constitution, unlawful ballots, widespread broken chain of custody, electronic manipulation, and missing and corrupted election files that made it uncertifiable — and impossible to recreate the results.

President Trump was right to voice his objections to what had unfolded before the country’s eyes. Republican poll watchers were denied access to the counting in multiple jurisdictions and ballots were counted in secret in the middle of the night without media or observers present. Countless irregularities emerged, including reports of ineligible voters, voting machine anomalies, “water main breaks,” improbable percentages of ballots for Biden, and more.

Since, investigations across the country have uncovered an avalanche of irregularities, unlawful activity, manipulation of election records, destruction of evidence, and fraud. The findings, which are outcome determinative, are detailed in the summaries of the Swing States.

GEORGIA

• Georgia was called by 11,779 votes.

• Fulton County, Georgia, the most populous county in the state, has no digital record of all in person votes cast in its original results.

• Not a single ballot purportedly cast during early in-person voting was witnessed to and signed off by poll managers, as required by Georgia election rules. Seals were broken and memory cards removed from tabulators for the results of these 315,000 votes, which were printed out on different machines than the ones that tabulated them. This prevented the reconciliation of how many votes were cast on each machine.

• The ballot images of these votes, along with the rest of in-person ballots cast on Election Day, were destroyed.

• The vote in Georgia was counted three times: the original machine count, a statewide hand recount, and a second machine count. Each time the state, and Fulton County, reported three different results.

• Fulton County did not count the same ballots during the original count and the machine recount. There are 19,541 distinct ballots that appear in one machine count but not the other.

• Thousands of fraudulent “presidential only” ballots were injected into the second machine count, with huge margins favoring Joe Biden. Ballots that are blank except for the presidential contest were counted in batches together, with the pattern appearing in at least eight counties, including Fulton. This means Georgia did not have the votes to justify its original Election “results.”

• The second machine count was over 17,000 votes “short.” Fulton County was instructed to “reconcile” the results by the Secretary of State, and recertified its results without divulging the extent of the vote deficiency to members of the Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections.

• “Thousands of bogus votes” were ultimately added into the Election results via the second machine count. This includes 20,977 unsubstantiated votes of unknown origin. The results were missing 17,852 ballot images, and included 3,125 duplicate ballot images that were counted twice.

• At least 2,871 ballots were counted two or three times in the second machine count, totaling 6,118 questionable votes.

• Eighty-eight percent of Fulton County’s precincts reported a different total number of votes between the first and second machine count.

• The only electronic votes that survived from the first count were the mail-in ballots, since they were tabulated on the high speed scanner their ballot images were automatically uploaded to the election server.

• Ninety percent of these approximately 148,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County cannot be authenticated. Ballot images for 132,284 mail-in votes have no .SHA file, which is created automatically when a ballot is scanned and used to authenticate the digital image of the vote, lacking evidence they were scanned and tabulated properly, or even cast by a real voter.

• 104,994 ballot image files of these mail-in ballots from the original count contained identical modified time stamps, suggesting electronic manipulation.

• Fulton County does not know “how many voters cast votes” and its “lack of basic accounting controls make it impossible to determine who really won” in 2020, according to Philip Stark, a University of California, Berkeley professor who invented risk-limiting audits. Stark noted, “The electronic records of the election are not intact.”

• 376,863 ballot images are missing from the first machine count, which includes all in-person votes in Fulton County.

• None of the 315,000 votes cast during early voting in Fulton County were witnessed to and signed by the poll manager and two poll workers, as required by state election rules. The closing tapes for these votes are all unsigned, showed more tabulated votes than the tabulators had recorded as scanning in their protective counters, and recorded improbably low percentages for President Trump. For example, President Trump received only 0.9 percent, 2.4 percent, 3.7 percent from some of the tabulators, as if he was a third party candidate, or in a third world country. The anomalies indicate ballots were not scanned on the tabulators that printed the closing tapes, making the closing tapes fraudulent.

• Tabulators used in Fulton County during early voting had their seals broken, and memory cards were reprogrammed and inserted into different scanners to count absentee ballots, in violation of election rules. This made it impossible to reconcile the true number of votes tabulated on the machines from the start of the Election to the end of counting.

• 235,000 absentee ballots were requested and accepted too early, prior to the lawful date 180 days before the 2020 Election, which was May 6, 2020. These votes should have never been counted in the 2020 Election.

• 4,081 false votes for Joe Biden were included in the hand count audit results for Fulton County. The false votes were the result of 36 accounting errors, which were confirmed by Governor Brian Kemp’s office and investigators working for Secretary Brad Raffensperger, yet they have never been removed from the official hand count results. These errors alone would reduce the margin to 7,698 votes.

• The hand count audit included 3,935 unaccounted for votes due to 11 missing batch sheets in Fulton County. Differences from the original count to the hand audit total at least 15,690 votes, which is more than the entire election margin alone. This includes the 4,081 false Biden votes, plus “missing” votes discovered in Gwinett (1,642), Fayette (2,755), Floyd (2,700), Douglas (293), and Walton (284) counties that were likely due to machine counting errors.

• Thousands of “pristine,” unfolded absentee ballots were counted during the hand count audit in Fulton County, according to at least six witnesses, which is the subject of ongoing litigation. These absentee ballots had no folds, and went 98 percent to Joe Biden, had “been added in a fraudulent manner,” witnesses said.

• Fulton County certified 59,143 in-person votes on Election Day, despite the fact that only 14,152 people had voted as of 5 p.m. on Nov. 3, 2020. Evidence suggests the in-person vote total on Election Day was inflated by approximately 37,000 votes, as records show no rush to the polls during the final two hours of voting, and a screenshot of the in-person Election Day results shared by a government contractor showed only 21,843 people voted at the polls in Fulton County on Nov. 3.

• Fulton County ordered over 1 million absentee ballots days before the 2020 Election, without any envelopes and the time necessary to mail. There were only 808,680 active voters in Fulton County as of Nov. 1, 2020, meaning the county had more blank mail-in ballots than the number of registered voters, and ordered them after the vast majority of mail-in ballot requests had already been sent to voters by Runbeck Election Services.

• An estimated 30,000 to 92,670 illicit votes were trafficked in Georgia, as part of a massive ballot trafficking operation discovered by True the Vote. The group identified 242 traffickers in Georgia who engaged in 5,662 ballot drops into drop boxes, making an average of runs per trafficker. Over 40 percent of the illicit drops that were captured on camera were recorded between the non-voting hours of midnight and 5 a.m.

• There were over 364,000 ineligible voter registrations on the rolls during the 2020 Election and likely 67,284 votes were cast from voters with invalid residency.

• Massive manipulation of the Georgia voter rolls surrounding the 2020 Election has been uncovered. This includes 1,500 Voter IDs that received credit for voting in 2020, but were not on any voter rolls from 2020, some appearing for the first time on the voter rolls on Nov. 4, 2021, a year after the Election. Other findings include manipulation of inactive voters to cast ballots, “gifting” Nov. 3 votes up to 2 years after the Election, and casting votes on ballots previously rejected, cancelled, or not even turned in.

• In 2020, there were absentee ballots issued to “Bangkok Thailand, Ga.,” “Denver, Ga.,” “Detroit, Ga.,” “Los Angeles, Ga.,” and other fraudulent addresses that do not exist. Ballots were fraudulently cast in 2020 from addresses listed as “Bronx, Ga.,” “Hilton Head, Ga.,” “Louisville, Ga.,” “San Diego, Ga.,” “New Orleans, Ga.,” “French Creek, Ga.,” “Virginia Beach, Ga.,” “Vicksburg, Ga.,” “Baltimore, Ga.,” “New York, Ga.,” and “Sarasota, Ga.,” all with zip codes out of state.

• 43,907 drop box ballots violated chain of custody requirements in DeKalb County.

• 59,000 of the 79,460 drop box ballots in Fulton County were not immediately transported to the election registrar, in violation of State Election Board rules.

• An estimated 355,000 ballot transfer forms for drop box ballots are missing statewide.

• Over 100,000 tally sheets for Fulton County were missing from the hand count audit, and remained missing for months after the Election.

• In early January 2021, Ruby Freeman asked for an attorney because she wanted to “go live on every platform” to divulge information about how “the USB ports” were used in the 2020 Election. The expert cyber report by Professor J. Alex Halderman explained how external USB ports with election-changing malware can be inserted into Dominion machines by anyone with access, including election workers.

• The presence of a “QR code mismatch” error within the Dominion tabulators that systematically undercounts votes was found in 65 out of 67 Georgia counties where records were available. The error was present in system log files for tabulators used in elections in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

• The election results in Georgia in 2020 are not only unreliable, but were electronically altered, and are unsupported by the state’s own election records. The appearance of tens of thousands of unconfirmed ballots in subsequent hand and machine counts suggest reconciliation happened after the Election, meaning after it was clear what margins were needed to win.

• Fulton County election officials admitted in early 2021 they do not engage in any reconciliation until weeks after Election Day. This means the number of voters showing up at the polls during each day of voting is not checked with the number of ballots tabulated each day, a basic process to ensure the number of ballots and voters match, and cannot be manipulated later.

• “We can’t start reconciling that until usually a couple days before certification,” said then-Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron, during a January 2021 Board meeting. “Because we have to get that report from KnowInk. I think KnowInk sends those to the state or KnowInk sends those directly to us. But those aren’t compiled then, on Election night. So we don’t have any way to balance those then. That’s like the post-election process that we do.”

We are so compromised. In the spirit of Epstein Island blackmail, we now have foreign nations both adversaries and allies setting up sex rings to entrap and blackmail US politicians, Military officers, Security Clearanced Defense Contractors, etc.



High-end sex ring in Boston and D.C. areas was 'honeypot' scheme by Russia, China, South Korea or even Israel - to ensnare US officials, intelligence experts believe

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...cials.html

Quote:

• Investigators believe a network of high-end brothels operating in the Boston and D.C. areas was a honey trap to ensnare politicians and government officials 
  
  
• But whether the plot was intended to aid Russia, China, South Korea – or even Israel – remains to be determined 
  
  
• Clients, believed to include members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors, have not yet been unmasked and charged 
  

Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'.

They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors. 

But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.

'Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,' a one-time CIA senior operations officer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.


Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who 'possessed security clearances' were among the steady customers at the 'high-end brothels' run by the ring, prosecutors say. 

LOL...

Awesome! That is better than Canada numbers! 

Less than 1% of Illinois gun owners register banned weapons as deadline passes

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/les...r-AA1mmHVR

Quote:Monday, January 1st, 2024, was the deadline for Illinois residents who own any of 170 “assault-style weapons” banned under law to register them with the state police.

Anyone who fails to register their guns could be charged with a Class 2 felony.
According to the Illinois State Police, as of this week, about 15,100 of Illinois’ 2.4 million Firearm Owners Identification card holders (less than 1%) had registered their weapons.
Registration opened on October 1st. The affidavit can be found under the owner’s Firearm Owners Identifcation Card account on the Illinois State Police website.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the Protect Illinois Communities Act on January 10th in response to the shooting deaths of seven at the Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, where 30 were also injured.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act bans the future sale of semi-automatic pistols, shotguns, and rifles because they are now considered assault weapons. Long-gun magazines with more than 10 rounds and handgun magazines with more than 15 rounds are also now illegal in Illinois.
The ban includes exceptions for certain individuals, such as active and retired law enforcement, active military, prison guards, and private security.
A status hearing for a case challenging the constitutionality of the ban has been set for January 4th.

I found this on another site I visit and thought I would share here. It appears they are getting ready for something no? I am going to repost a couple of posts that summarize:

Quote:Basically, they're fixing everything "we" got away with during COVID, so that during an Ebola/Marburg outbreak, alleged outbreak, potential outbreak, theorized outbreak, warning of an outbreak, anytime the conditions are right for an outbreak, or really anytime TPTB want, they can bring back mandatory everything, including not just mRNA "vaxs" for said diseases, but "any and all 'countermeasures' TPTB deem "appropriate", under the color and letter of the law this time.

Quote:The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the HHS Secretary) to issue a Declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving “willful misconduct” as defined in the PREP Act. Under the PREP Act, a Declaration may be amended as circumstances warrant.


The PREP Act was enacted on December 30, 2005, as Public Law 109–148, Division C, 2. It amended the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, adding section 319F–3, which addresses liability immunity, and section 319F–4, which creates a compensation program. These sections are codified at 42 U.S.C. 247d–6d and 42 U.S.C. 247d–6e, respectively. Section 319F–3 of the PHS Act has been amended by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA), Public Law 113–5, enacted on March 13, 2013, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116–136, enacted on March 27, 2020, to expand Covered Countermeasures under the PREP Act.

The PREP Act Declaration for Countermeasures Against Marburgvirus and/or Marburg Disease was first issued effective November 25, 2020. (85 FR 79198 (December 9, 2020)). The PREP Act Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Vaccines was first issued December 3, 2014 (79 FR 73315 (Dec.10, 2014)), and amended December 3, 2015 (80 FR 76541 (Dec. 9, 2015)), December 3, 2016 (81 FR 89471 (Dec. 12, 2016)), and December 1, 2018 (84 FR 764 (Jan. 31, 2019)). The Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics was issued effective February 27, 2015 (80 FR 22534 (April 22, 2015)), and amended February 27, 2015 (80 FR 76536 (December 9, 2015)), and December 1, 2018 (84 FR 757 (January 31, 2019)).

I am extending PREP Act Coverage for both Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses due to the continued national security threat posed by these viruses. Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses have the potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality during outbreaks. The risk of domestic cases is high due to ongoing outbreaks in other countries over the past decade. Development of and stockpiling vaccines, therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics for all species of both Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses is needed for continued U.S. preparedness against the credible threat of a public health emergency due to outbreaks of these viruses.

I am amending the PREP Act Declaration for Countermeasures Against Marburgvirus and/or Marburg Disease to cover countermeasures previously covered under the Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Vaccines and the Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics due to the similarities of the viruses and the need to expand Covered Countermeasures against Ebola Disease to include all vaccines, diagnostics, and devices in addition to previously covered vaccines and therapeutics, and to cover these countermeasures when administered or used by an Authority Having Jurisdiction to respond to a declared emergency, in addition to previously covered activities directly supported by the United States. All previously Covered Countermeasures for Ebolavirus and distribution activities continue to be covered. This action has the effect of combining the three previous Declarations into one amended Declaration and makes PREP Act coverage for Ebolavirus countermeasures consistent with PREP Act coverage provided for other health threats, including Marburg, Smallpox, Pandemic Influenza, Anthrax, and Acute Radiation Syndrome and emerging infectious diseases such as COVID–19.[1] This amended Declaration for Countermeasures Against Ebolavirus and/or Ebola Disease and Marburgvirus and/or Marburg Disease supersedes the PREP Act Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Vaccines and the PREP Act Declaration for Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics. The Declarations for Ebola Virus Disease Vaccines and Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics will expire under their own terms on December 31, 2023 and this amended Declaration becomes effective January 1, 2024, effectively replacing the three prior Declarations.

To be consistent with the most current World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases, the term Ebola disease or “EBOD” is used in this Declaration to refer to the disease, health condition, or threat to health that constitutes or may constitute a public health emergency. The term Marburg Disease or “MARD” is used in this Declaration to refer to the disease, health condition, or threat to health that constitutes or may constitute a public health emergency.[2]

Specifically, I am now amending the PREP Act Declaration Against Marburgvirus and/or Marburg Disease Countermeasures to: amend the title of the declaration to reflect that it covers Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses; update Section I to identify the public health threat as arising from Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses; update Section VI to amend the definition of Covered Countermeasures and to extend coverage to all vaccines, diagnostics, and devices for Ebolavirus in addition to vaccines and therapeutics; extend Section VII of the Declaration to provide coverage for Ebolavirus Countermeasures when administered or used by an Authority Having Jurisdiction to respond to a declared emergency; update Section VIII to amend the category of disease to be inclusive of Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses; extend in Section XII the effective time period of the declaration through December 31, 2028; and republish the declaration in its entirety, as amended.

Unless otherwise noted, all statutory citations below are to the U.S. Code.

Quote:Section VI. Covered Countermeasures


I am amending Section VI of the Declaration to include any antiviral, any other drug, any biologic, any diagnostic, any other device, or any vaccine, used to diagnose, mitigate, prevent, treat, cure, or limit EBOD, MARD, or the transmission of Ebolaviruses, Marburgviruses, or a virus mutating therefrom, or any device used in the administration of any such product, and all components and constituent materials of any such product.

Section VIII. Category of Disease, Health Condition, or Threat
I am amending Section VIII of the Declaration to update the category of disease to include any diseases or conditions including EBOD and MARD caused by Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses, or any virus or disease subcategories of these or virus mutating therefrom.
Section XII. Effective Time Period
I am extending the effective time period for the Declaration through December 31, 2028.


Other conforming changes and technical corrections may be made throughout the Declaration for consistency and clarity.

I have determined that there is a credible risk that the spread of Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses, and any resulting diseases or conditions including Ebola Disease (EBOD) and Marburg Disease (MARD), and any virus or disease subcategories of these may in the future constitute a public health emergency. For the purposes of this Declaration, MARD is the illness resulting from infection by any virus of the Orthomarburgvirus genus. EBOD is the illness resulting from infection of any of the following virus species of the Orthoebolavirus genus:

• Bundibugyo virus
  
• Ebola virus
  
• Sudan virus
  
• Taï Forest virus
  
• Ebolaviruses with undefined pathogenicity in humans
