It appears that “an illegal, unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials” that was owned by a shadowy Chinese company was doing some pretty crazy things. When authorities entered the facility, they discovered “thousands of vials” that contained all sorts of various infectious agents.
In addition to malaria, they found “chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella” in this secret lab. In addition, they also found 900 mice that were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus”. So exactly what was going on here?
This secret lab was located in a warehouse in Fresno County, California, and authorities may not have ever found it if there had not been “a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building”…
An investigation into a Reedley warehouse uncovered a large-scale illegal medical lab complete with bioengineered mice, infectious agents, nearly 30 refrigerators and freezers some of which were non-operational, incubators, and more leaving officials shocked and the public worried.
Local, state, and federal agencies are all involved and what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building.
I suppose that we should all be thankful for the nosy local code enforcement officer that noticed the garden hose. Without him, those working in that facility may have continued to stockpile nightmarish biological plagues for a long time to come.
And why were mice that were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus” discovered at this facility?…
Reedley officials and personnel from CDPH and FCDPH executed a warrant on March 16 to inspect the warehouse at 850 I Street. According to a declaration from Humero Prado, Assistant Director of Fresno County Public Health, which was filed in superior court, investigators discovered that one room of the warehouse was used to produce COVID-19 and pregnancy tests. In other rooms, investigators found blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples. They also found thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.
“That’s when we found the mice,” said Zieba.
Over 900 mice were located at the facility. Court documents identify Wang Zhaolin as the Prestige representative onsite during the investigation. Zhaolin informed the investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Court documents describe the conditions under which the mice were housed as “inhumane.”
That is super suspicious. Were they just doing “research” on these mice, or did those in charge of this secret lab have another purpose for them?
And as I mentioned above, all sort of other infectious agents were also found when authorities conducted their search…
Court documents confirm the CDC found potentially infectious agents at the location. These included both bacterial and viral agents, including: chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.
I can’t think of a reasonable explanation for any of this.
Why would a secret lab operating in a remote warehouse in Fresno County, California want to have all of those infectious agents?
To me, this whole thing stinks.
When asked about this facility, local experts told the media that they had never seen anything like this…
“This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba.
Even county health officials were left in shock.
“I’ve never seen this in my 26-year career with the County of Fresno,” said Assistant Director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health Joe Prado.
I don’t know why CNN, MSNBC and Fox News aren’t all over this, because this is a really big story.
So far, local news outlets have been giving this more coverage than anyone else.
We are being told that a company called “Prestige BioTech” was running this lab.
At this stage, not much is known about this secretive Chinese company…
NBC News reports that an investigation found the tenant was Prestige BioTech, a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with Xiuquin Yao, who was identified as the company president, through emails included in the court documents.
Yao told officials that Prestige BioTech moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc., to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI and identified as its successor, according to court documents.
Officials were unable to get any California-based address for either company except for the previous Fresno location from which UMI had been evicted.
“The other addresses provided for identified authorized agents were either empty offices or addresses in China that could not be verified,” court documents said.
Does “Prestige BioTech” have links to the Chinese government?
Most large Chinese companies do.
Hopefully officials in Washington will get to the bottom of this, because it appears that this secret lab in California was potentially a massive threat to national security.
Meanwhile, we continue to see very alarming outbreaks of disease all over the globe. For example, Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome has just reappeared in the United Arab Emirates…
One of the world’s deadliest diseases is feared to be spreading in the Middle East after sickening a man in his twenties.
The 28-year-old, of Abu Dhabi, was left fighting for his life in hospital after catching MERS — a deadlier cousin of Covid.
Officials in the UAE, also home to Dubai, are now scrambling to contain the virus to ensure it doesn’t spread between humans.
MERS, or Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus, is thought to kill up to a third of everyone it infects.
That isn’t good. And the WHO is telling us that cases of dengue fever are “expected to reach record levels” this year…
The number of dengue fever cases worldwide is expected to reach record levels according to the World Health Organization (WHO), after a recent outbreak was reported in Egypt. The Asian tiger mosquito, which transmits the virus, is thriving in Israel, raising concerns that the disease may spread into the country as well.
Here in the United States, a fungus called “Candida auris” that has become resistant to all known treatments is rapidly becoming a “serious global health threat” according to the CDC…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tracking an emerging fungus that presents a “serious global health threat.”
The CDC said healthcare facilities in 29 states, including Florida, have reported that a type of yeast called Candida auris (C. auris) has been causing severe illness or death in hospitalized patients.
Nevada has reported the most cases, at 384. California has reported 359 cases. Florida has the third most cases, with 349 reported.
We are also being told that leprosy is spreading in Florida and that it has become “endemic in the southeastern United States”…
The numbers themselves aren’t alarming yet — eight cases in Florida in 2023. However, what’s particularly concerning is that recent infections don’t appear to have originated from foreign travel to high-risk countries like India, Brazil and Bangladesh.
“Florida has witnessed an increased incidence of leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors. Those trends, in addition to decreasing diagnoses in foreign-born persons, contribute to rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States,” say the authors of a CDC report. “Endemic” describes a disease that regularly occurs in a given region. “Travel to Florida should be considered when conducting leprosy contact tracing in any state.”
Leprosy in America?
I didn’t see that one coming.
But as I keep telling my readers, we have entered an era of great pestilences.
In many previous articles I have warned that mad scientists are monkeying around with some of the most dangerous bugs ever known to humanity in secret labs all over the planet. And now we have just learned that a Chinese company was actually doing this on a very large scale in a run down warehouse in Fresno County, California. These are such perilous times.
Our ability to manipulate diseases far exceeds our ability to control outbreaks, and it is just a matter of time before more “accidents” happen.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
