Subject: Stupidity, not biowarfare (American Chronicle article on Lyme
Disease)

Date: Dec 9, 2008 1:59 AM

[ARTICLE BELOW]

===================================================
I say the Lyme outbreak is stupidity and not biowarfare
for 3 reasons:

1) Read Allen Steere's first full-text article on
what the serology for Lyme looks like (1986):
http://www.actionlyme.org/STEERE_IN_EUROPE.htm
You will say to yourself, Okay, this guy is not much
of a scientist.

2) They went with OspA as the vaccine because they
said it was the most abundant outer surface protein
on these spirochete, even though they soon later found
out that OspC was associated with dissemination and
that a vaccine based on OspA was useless. They went
with the OspA vaccine anyway, knowing it was the wrong
choice. Yale owned the patent for it. Yale did not
want to look foolish (there are few-to-no really good
scientists at Yale; UConn's Justin Radolf is one of the
better ones).

3) As they (Plum Island) were testing (and have done so
all along and admit to this) whether or not African or
tropical diseases could effect local livestock by being
able to "take" to local vectors (you can see how PI's
bull*** bioweapons story was made up to fit the illegality
of developing bioweapons; "Oh, We're not developing bioweapons
this is defensive work"), they did not know that bacteriophages
were responsible for the "taking" or the transfer of
.... let's call them virulence factors for lack of a better
word ... of mycoplasmal or brucellar (one of the main
goodies retrieved by the US Navy from Unit 731 in Manchuria
since it causes LAMENESS) antigens (triacyl lipopeptides
or OspA) from one species to another.
It wasn't until 1983 that Alan Barbour and Willy Burgdorfer
figured out that it was bacteriophages were responsible:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6853449?ordinalpos=25&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Barbour and Burgdorfer were at the time, the top two
spirochetal weaponeers, Burgdorfer having been recruited
from Switzerland to work at the Rocky Mountain Bioweapons
lab (which has a moat around it, approximating Plum Island).

Get it?

Barbour and Burgdorfer, who know the most about spirochetes,
were wondering how this particular Relapsing Fever organism
acquired OspA. They looked for phages, since transfer of
DNA is what phages do.


THEREFORE, Lyme is likely an accidental release and not anything
specifically designed for the purpose of being a stealth
disabler of the arthritis kind. I hypothesize that the
idiots on Plum Island did not know their ticks were not
clean, but had fungi or mycoplasma in them, or else this
was sloppy work and the ticks acquired the extra biological
organisms during the work of testing to see if Avian African
Relapsing Fever could "take" to the local hard bodied ticks
(they're in soft-bodied ticks in Africa).


I would never accuse anyone associated with Yale (CDC/CIA)
to be anything other than a stupid bungler. I have not seen
any evidence that they produce any smart people. Think about
it: Allen Steere?, James Phillips?, Durland Fish?, Erol Fikrig?
Ben Bunney? Patricia Leebens? George W. Bush?

If there is one reason alone to get the bioweaponeering off
of Plum Island it would be to stop the temptation for anyone
associated with Yale to be allowed to play around there.

Yale just does not have the brains. 'Not the brains and not
the sincerity - the genuineness - it takes to be real scientists.


If Lyme came from Plum Island - and the epidemiology suggests
it does (again, Bosler), it was likeliest due to SLOPPY WORK.

Biological Warfare – are we already seeing the casualties?
by Ian Brockwell
December 07, 2008
If we are to believe the government, scientists, drug companies and
media, biological
warfare is a possibility for the future, only a week ago we were told
that the United
States could be the target of such an attack by terrorists before
2013.

Although the report said terrorist groups still lack the needed
scientific and technical
ability to make weapons out of pathogens, that gap can be easily
overcome, if terrorists
find scientists willing to share or sell their know-how. It was
interesting that
the following comment was also made by the panel "The United States
should
be less concerned that terrorists will become biologists and far more
concerned
that biologists will become terrorists,"

Of course, if we were to suggest that there may be some truth to that
statement
and the "biologists" were in fact gathering on the US mainland, and
not
some far away country situated in the Middle East (for example), we
would immediately
be accused of creating a "conspiracy theory". The mainstream media
would
ridicule the idea and the public would accept their word without
question (and support
it) as they always do.

The Unexplained Explored book. Click Here to download a copyThroughout
history man
has always tried to find weapons more powerful than their "enemies".
First
a club, then a spear, then a bow, a gun, cannon, a missile and so on.
However, the
search for the ultimate weapon has always been the dream of the
scientists willing
to sell their discoveries to governments and the military.

Could it be that such a weapon already exists and a biological war has
begun? But
who are the victims and what is the purpose?

An article by Marjorie Tietjen called "Discreet Methods of Biological
Warfare"
offers some interesting points and some food for thought.

In her article she mentions Lyme disease and whilst a supposedly "old"
disease, has a somewhat curious genetic structure that looks like it
"was captured
in mid-shuttle," like it is "still undergoing construction."

Let´s explain this disease more (information obtained from
MedicineNet.com). Lyme
disease is a bacterial illness caused by a bacterium called a
"spirochete"
In the United States, the actual name of the bacterium is Borrelia
burgdorferi.
In Europe, another bacterium, Borrelia afzelii, also causes Lyme
disease. Certain
ticks found on deer harbor the bacterium in their stomachs. Lyme
disease is spread
by these ticks when they bite the skin, which permits the bacterium to
infect the
body. Lyme disease is not contagious from an affected person to
someone else, and
the disease can cause abnormalities in the skin, joints, heart, and
nervous system.
(According to Alan MacDonald, M.D Lyme disease can also be passed on
by 'vertical
transmission' from mother to fetus)

Interestingly, the disease only became apparent in 1975 when mothers
of a group
of children who lived near each other in Lyme, Connecticut, made
researchers aware
that their children all were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. This
unusual grouping
of illness that appeared "rheumatoid" eventually led researchers to
the
identification of the bacterial cause of the children's condition,
what was
then called "Lyme disease" in 1982.

Lyme disease affects different areas of the body in varying degrees as
it progresses.
The site where the tick bites the body is where the bacteria enter
through the skin.
Initially, the disease affects the skin, causing an expanding reddish
rash often
associated with "flu-like" symptoms. Later, it can produce
abnormalities
in the joints, heart, and nervous system.

Lyme disease is medically described in three phases as: (1) early
localized disease
with skin inflammation; (2) early disseminated disease with heart and
nervous system
involvement, including palsies and meningitis; and (3) late disease
featuring motor
and sensory nerve damage and brain inflammation and arthritis.

One of the interesting areas of Lyme disease is the "three phases" and
the following article by Alan MacDonald, M.D. is highly recommended.
Unfortunately,
there is too much information to include all of it here, so I shall
just add a few
extracts.

Dr. MacDonald became interested in Alzheimer's disease and Lyme when
attending
a Lyme disease conference in Vienna, Austria. "The speakers were
describing
Lyme disease as having three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary.
Since those
terms are also used to describe syphilis, it occurred to him that if
Lyme disease
had a tertiary, late-stage form, perhaps the late manifestation could
be dementia.
Like syphilis, which also had late stage dementia, Lyme disease may
reoccur thirty
or forty years after infection. He hypothesized that if there is a
dementia occurring
in late-stage Lyme, it might be an Alzheimer's-like illness, a late
manifestation
of bacterial infection in the brain."

Dr. MacDonald explains how "spirochetes have more diverse forms than
just the
corkscrew, or spiral form." And this explains why many doctors (and
the commercially
available tests) are unable to discover the disease. As Dr. MacDonald
says "If
you're looking for evidence of an infection in tissue you want to see
the bug.
And if you're looking for the bug and you only look for spiral forms,
you may
miss the other forms, forms that are granular or rounded cyst forms or
L-forms."

In another article by Elena Cook "Spirochete Warfare" she says
"Borrelia,
the microbes which cause Lyme disease, are a sub-type of the wider
biological classification
of spirochetes. Now it has become apparent that the spirochetes were
weaponized
over 75 years ago."

Again, this is quite a long article and we would suggest using the
link to read
all the information, but here is a small extract from the article:

"We now know, for example, that the US allowed leading Nazi
bioweaponeer Erich
Traub to play a major role in setting up research at their biowarfare
lab on Plum
Island, a stone's throw away from Lyme, Connecticut, where the first
recorded
outbreak of Lyme disease in America occurred in the 1970's. Traub's
germ
warfare knowledge was considered so important that, his Nazi past
notwithstanding,
he was invited to take charge of scientific research on the Island in
the 1950's."

It may be of interest to the public that the research complex on Plum
Island, about
1.5 miles off the eastern shore of New York's Long Island, is almost
certain
to be relocated to a new site in Kansas (Government recommends Kansas
for biodefense
lab). "The Bush administration acknowledged this year that accidents
have happened"
on Plum Island and one must wonder at the logic of bringing such a
complex to the
mainland.

Although "officially" the new lab will study foot-and-mouth disease,
African
swine fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever and the Hendra
and Nipah viruses,
there is no way of telling what else may be included.

Biological Warfare can be used in many ways, it can be developed to
kill selected
races, disable a country by "infecting" large numbers of the
population,
birth control and perhaps even making the public more susceptible to
authority?

It would be easy to dismiss these possibilities as science fiction,
but with the
destructive force of nuclear weapons already abundant on our planet,
we know our
leaders are capable of producing (and using) such methods, even though
they put
our very existence at risk. Sadly, the country that lectures others
the most about
nuclear and biological weapons (and leads in both of these fields), is
the United
States, a country that has the dubious "honor" of being the first (and
so far only) nation to ever use a nuclear bomb on an enemy.

With this thought in mind, we should remember that any country with
the capability
of using biological weapons is a danger and no one is immune from the
temptation
of putting such destructive weapons to use. It is up to us (the
public) to guard
against this madness, because we are the ones that will pay the
ultimate price.
