House Judiciary Chairman, Jim Jordan (R-OH) is heading up a new subcommittee in the 118th Congress to investigate the weaponization of the federal government. In December 2022, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) chaired his fifth hearing on COVID-19. With the COVID-19 "pandemic" looking increasingly like weaponization of the U.S. government across numerous agencies, perhaps the two congressmen should join investigative forces. They might want to start with comparing previous exercises Lock Step, Crimson Contagion, and Event 201. All three exercises deal with a potential deadly pandemic, lack of preparedness for it, need for vaccines to implement against pandemics, and need for tight government control during such time. 

Enter Henry A. Kissinger. The three pandemic exercises mirror former secretary of state and national security advisor Henry Kissinger's National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) here, here. In NSSM 200, page 5, is the following concern about lesser developed countries and their natural resources: 

Mineral and Fuel 8. 

Rapid population growth is not in itself a major factor in pressure on depletable resources (fossil fuels and other minerals), since demand for them depends more on levels of industrial output than on numbers of people. On the other hand, the world is increasingly dependent on mineral supplies from developing countries [emphasis added], and if rapid population frustrates their prospects for economic development and social progress, the resulting instability may undermine the conditions for expanded output and sustained flows of such resources.
