I have family and they are my treasure. I am not the same Ida who stayed working all night long.
By this time, that statement was painfully obvious. Initially she had planned to go public and this is believed to be the catalyst that drove her to contact Finnegan, who was essentially the "prosecutor" on this case.

Hello Robert Finnegan,
It's an interesting article you wrote.
I have a little question, you mentioned that the genetic material recovered from Alaskan corpses were H5N1. But everyone knows that Taunberger reported it as H1N1 Spanish flu.
Thank you so much.
Best Wishes,
Ida

Weaponized H5N1, created at Kobe by Ernala and Kawaoka |
From that initial e-mail a relationship developed, Finnegan unknowingly at first that he had just become the "Father confessor" to Ernala-Ginting. He initially had no idea that she was in fact at that time processing the H5N1 virus for weaponization.
Eventually, Ernala-Ginting's conscience began to weigh heavily on her and she divulged everything to Finnegan in a series of e-mails over the next three years.
It was agreed in the beginning that she would go public with her work at an unspecified date in the future:

Robert,
I tried to find clues of H5N1 prior to 1997. I searched the sequences published at GenBank. There are some birds H5N1 submitted prior 1997, but sometimes H5N1 in birds doesn't cause illness. The the first documented case human report was 1997.
I found other reference about 1918 flu, written By Barry
http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11150&page=68.
Interestingly, the author named 1918 virus as "1918 virus", he never mentioned it as H1N1. Meanwhile he clearly stated H5N1 or H7N7 when talking about those strains.
Yesterday I made a rough phylogenic tree of recent Mexico flu, 1918 flu, some avian, swine and human strains H1N1 - based on HA gene. You can see the location of 1918 flu among other strains. I should make tree based on other gene, not HA, to see the relation to H5N1.

Robert,
Because, it's a shame for me, but I'm doing reverse genetic technology also in my research. Currently, I'm creating an H5N1 human virus and manipulating the genes to study its transmission capability. For my self, I'm doing this purely for purpose of study. My professor is Yoshihiro Kawaoka, he and Neumann established this technology in 1997. The same technique which Taunberger used to resurrect the 1918 virus.
This whole story made me think about what I am right now.
Ida
It is obvious here that this incredibly young and gifted PhD student was being used by Kawaoka and his masters to secretly weaponize H5N1, as she was obviously easily manipulated and "expendable." Her successful quest for her PhD was dependent upon them and their satisfaction with her illegal work.

Hi Robert,
I'm a veterinarian, graduated from Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) 2004 as the top student of the year.
In 2005, Japan part took me to their main factory in Japan. They taught me everything about vaccine production.
You see I have very strong background of H5N1, I'm here without no reason.
Ida
And here is where Ernala-Ginting begins to confess to Finnegan the real scope of her work:

My personal research themes are: the study of circulating oseltamivir resistant H1N1 virus (I mentioned before); the internalization of highly pathogenic H5N1 virus into cells; the study of PA gene of Indonesia human H5N1 virus in relation to its virulency.

Kawaoka and Ernala-Ginting in Kobe Lab |
Our lab is new, just established on October 2007 (at that moment I was still in Tottori University). Dr Shinya is the main person in charge there, helped by assistant professor, Dr Akiko Makino (an ebola virus researcher). Our lab is also somehow special, only two students there, one is Japanese and me.
I'm working in BSL-2 laboratory, that's the requirement from the government because the original virus was only common H1N1. For H5N1 virus, I'm working in BSL-3 laboratory.
My experiment is confidential (please keep this only for you), no one except my professor and I know this (even we keep it secret from other lab members). Especially after the H1N1 emerged, my work will cause lot of trouble. We will go to the public after everything is set up.
Ida
So there it is: Ernala has confessed in her own words the illegal weaponization of the H5N1 virus in a secret BSL 3 lab at Kobe University Japan, with Kawaoka calling the shots. She also promises Finnegan that she will go public.

Robert,
If this is keep continuing, the WHO will level up the pandemic threat to level 6. And they're now thinking to produce vaccine.
I have bad feeling about vaccine Robert. I assume when vaccination is started, the second deadly wave will come. Maybe new H1N1 or reassortant of H5N1 and H1N1 or H5N1 itself.
I'm getting insane.
Ida
Over the years, Ernala-Ginting became more and more depressed, more incoherent in her communications with Finnegan, resulting in this incredible e-mail:

Yes, I'm still in Japan. They have asked me to continue my work in the U.S. under Ron Fouchier, sensei Kawaoka's partner in H5N1 research.
What do you think?
Ida
Here are the facts at present:
Both Ernala-Ginting and Kawaoka are MIA.
Kobe University refuses to comment on her disappearance.
The 5th Estate following a series of hacking incidents installed sophisticated tracking devices on the website. We continuously monitor all accesses and trace them back to the source if suspicious.

University of Wisconsin's H5N1 weaponizer Ron Fouchier |
Kobe University, the
American CIA, DoD, numerous other American "OGA" and even 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue have repeatedly accessed our reports on weaponized H5N1. We have the logs as proof.
Kobe University, who at one time for an extended period - years - accessed The 5th Estate using "weaponized H5N1 and Teridah Ernala-Ginting" as keywords.
Kobe is now silent.
The University of Wisconsin, however, has now accessed the site on a daily basis, whereas they were silent before. Below is a recent access from our log:

This leaves her with one option: Sanctuary under Fouchier at the University of Wisconsin.
Given the extreme difficulty of gaining a visa for entry into the U.S. by Indonesians, she must have a sponsor, and a high-powered one at that. As she has no family residing in the U.S. to provide her with a sponsorship, Fouchier and the University of Wisconsin are the obvious choice for an illegal virus weaponizer on the run, given the support of the U.S. government.
The 5th Estate is aggressively pursuing Ernala-Ginting and Kawaoka. We will continue to report on our findings.
The University of Wisconsin has failed to respond to repeated requests for comment.
5th Estate investigator Martin Tan is one of the original 2002 Bali bombing investigators. He is now based in Sulaweisi, Indonesia as an adviser to sustainable resource development projects.
