Fwd: BIO WEAPON PRESS RELEASE

[Guest guest]

not my editorial comments...mine would not be so polite

==

 

Did you know that the U.S. Monsanto company under the Bush

administration has already ordered all Iraqi people to

destroy family heirloom farming seeds handed down in families

for thousands of years and they have been given sterile

seeds in place of them?

 

How are Iraq citizens free to govern themselves when they

are being ordered to destroy their seeds and only use

genetically altered sterile seeds, owned by Monsanto?

 

This is outragous folks! I hope we all soon realize that

Iraq is a testing ground for the Bush administration's

corporate interests.

 

Imagine..being told that it is now against the law to use

vegetable seeds that are capable of producing seeds for next

year! Or imagine that the seed forced upon you requires a

chemical spray to initiate the growth of that seed or you'll

have no crops!

 

Imagine the government (in an act of population control)

decided oneday to with-hold the chemical required to sprout

your garden seeds. What resource will you have? Starve?

 

While we are sleeping at night comfy in our beds.. the

Canadian and U.S. governments are sneaking this through the

united Nations, behind our backs..so that they can do this to

all of us!

 

Will they take away some people's food? Will they add

viruses to make us ill as a result of the Bush adminsitrations's

admitted desire to actually conduct bio-weapons tersts on

its own citizens? Don't believe me? Visit the Sunshine

Project (bio-weapons watch-dog)http://www.sunshine-project.org/

and sign up for their newsletter and you'll receive

information that will terrify you. Learn what the Bush

adminstrations has in store for you and your family! For those who

don't mind the reading, I'll paste the latest newsletter from

the Sunshine Project at the very bottom of this letter.

 

Talk about a weapon of mass destruction!

The Sunshine Project News Release - 3 March 2005

USAMRIID Rewrites Offensive Biological Weapons History ---

says Operation Whitecoat is a Model for the Future

 

(Austin, 3 March 2005) - A disturbing article, published

today in the Fort Detrick Standard (Frederick, MD) and

attributed to the US Army Medical Research Institute of

Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), rewrites history from the US

offensive biological weapons program and suggests that the US Army

is preparing to renew experiments to deliberately infect

humans with bioweapons agents.

,br> " The historical whitewash in the article is troubling.

USAMRIID talks about programs with offensive goals as if

their intent was benign and suggests that deliberately

infecting people with weaponized disease is ethically and legally

acceptable " says Sunshine Project Director Edward Hammond,

" USAMRIID's review of its own past does not distinguish

offense from defense, nor safety testing from deliberate

infection. The article even lauds experiments to determine a

'safe' dose to cause human infection. There's no such thing as

a safe bioweapons infection. "

 

Titled " USAMRIID celebrates 50-year research tradition " the

article details the Army's " Operation Whitecoat " , a series

of experiments that began in the 1950s. In Whitecoat, US

weapons developers exposed thousands of people, mainly

Seventh Day Adventists, to a variety of bioweapons. The

experiments took place at Fort Detrick and in the open air at Dugway

Proving Ground in Utah. The objectives of the Whitecoat

program included maximizing the effectiveness of the US

biological weapons arsenal.

 

While the ethics of Whitecoat have been debated for years,

the Army's new spin is that human research conducted in

Whitecoat is " a model for the ethical use of human subjects "

for the National Interagency Biodefense Campus. The

controversial " campus " includes existing and new Fort Detrick

USAMRIID facilities as well as the Department of Homeland

Security's National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures

Center (NBACC).

 

" The Army is suggesting that Whitecoat provides an enabling

precedent for Ft. Detrick to experiment on humans in ways

that are ethically and legally unacceptable, " says Hammond,

" The Army understands there is a difference between safety

trials and exposing humans to aerosolized disease; but it

makes no distinction between the two. "

 

Far from a model, the US Army's history of human

experimentation with bioweapons provide lessons for what should never

done at the NBACC and associated facilities. Says Hammond

" Since shortly before the anthrax letters of 2001,

glorifying past bioweaponeering has, ironically, become all too

common. With labs to research biological weapons agents

sprouting up across the country, to have the US Army losing sight

of medical ethics and the differences between offense and

defense is deeply disturbing. The Army knows that what is

ethical and legal is not the same thing as what a person can

be convinced to do. Rather than promoting a revisionist

history and an offensive research model, the Army should

squarely acknowledge past failings and ensure that they never

happen again. "
