1.Biowarfare: Who Poses the Threat?

 

 

'BIOWARFARE and TERRORISM'

by Francis A. Boyle

Foreword by Jonathan King, M.I.T.

http://www.bookmasters.com/clarity/b0027.htm

 

Summary

 

This book outlines how and why the United States government initiated,

sustained and then dramatically expanded an illegal biological arms

buildup.

 

Most significantly, U.S. expert Francis A. Boyle reveals how the new

billion-dollar U.S. Chemical and Biological Defense Program has been

reorientated to accord with the Neo-Conservative pre-emptive strike

agenda-this time by biological and chemical warfare.

 

Linking U.S. biowarfare development to the October 2001 anthrax attack

on Congress-the most significant political attack on the

constitutional functioning of democracy in the United States in recent

history-Boyle sheds new light on the motives for the attack, the media

black hole of silence into which it has fallen, and why the FBI may

never apprehend the perpetrators of this seminal political crime of

the 21st century.

 

Biowarfare and Terrorism should raise public concern at what the

vastly expanded US biowarfare research and purported civilian

preparedness programs hold in store for America-and the extent to

which the Bush administration is prepared to pursue them, irrespective

of their incitement to a global biowarfare arms race, and likely

exposure of the American people to future accidents and reprisals.

" [W]e have determined that the reconstructed replication competent

forms of the 1918

pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions

of all eight gene segments have the potential to pose a severe threat

to public health and safety. "

Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta

42 CFR Part 73,

Oct. 20, 2005.

 

***************

 

Scientists at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and at Mount

Sinai led some of the expeditions to dig up the 1918 victims of

Spanish flu and genetically reconstitute the virus.

 

Scientists at the University of Washington are now injecting this virus

which killed millions in 1918

into monkeys. What can be the value of resurrecting and " learning

more " about this long-dormant threat -- compared to the threat that

the research and recuperation process itself poses?

The Red Cross warns that government biological weapons programs pose a

bigger threat to the world than bioterrorism.
