- - WAGING WAR ON ARABS

 

The Australian dairy industry is intentionally

sending cows afflicted with Johne's disease to

the Middle East.

 

Down under dairymen have invented a new form of

the classic children's game, " Tag, You're It! "

 

Cows diagnosed with Johne's Disease have diarrhea

and heavy fecal shedding of bacteria. These diseased

cows are infected by mycobacterium paratuberculosis.

These bacteria multiply in milk, and are not destroyed

by pasteurization. Occasionally, the milkborne bacteria

will begin to grow in human hosts, and irritable bowel

syndrome and Crohn's results.

 

Why are the Australians doing this dastardly deed?

Perhaps they figure that those Arabs just don't know

any better, so why not? The desire for dollars betrays

their act of bioterrorism. This is a crime against

mankind. Here's the story as it appeared in the

Australian media:

 

http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/stories/s571563.htm

 

This is what America's dairy farmers learned about

Crohn's and Johne's, having read this truth in the

January 24, 1995 issue of Hoard's Dairyman:

 

" Johne's disease and Crohn's disease are

remarkably similar in clinical signs and

intestinal pathology. "

 

Apparently, Arabs do not read the Journal of

Clinical Microbiology. The May 31, 1993 issue

of that journal revealed:

 

" Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was isolated

from tissue taken from patients with Crohn's

disease and is implicated in the etiology of

this disease. "

 

The Australians must be keeping a stiff upper

lip after having read the February 1998 issue

of the British Medical Journal which revealed:

 

" Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis crosses the

species barrier to infect and cause disease

in humans. "

 

Arabs with Crohn's disease might find it easier to

fertilize their land, and turn a not so arable

desert into a blooming oasis. They will have

Australian dairy farmers to thank for this gift.

What percentage of Crohn's victims are infected

with this bovine bacteria? In September of 1996,

the National Academy of Sciences published this

bit of trivia:

 

" Mycobacterium paratuberculosis RNA was found in

100% of Crohn's disease patients, compared with

0% of controls. "

 

Cows infected with Johne's disease are at an

epidemic proportion in Australia. This past year,

Australia has shipped 20,000 cows to the Middle

East. Nearly one-third of Australian bovines are

infected with this disease that can be passed on

to human milk consumers. You do the math. Humans

get irritable bowels by drinking infected milk

from these animals, then Crohn's disease.

 

This story needs to grow legs. This story

needs your participation. Please send it to

a friend, and demand justice. Ask that friend

to send it to another friend so that it

travels the world wide web.

 

Yesterday (June 3, 2002), I contacted the

embassy of the United Arab Emirates

(202-243-2400) and gave this information to

Sarah Fatassi. I have been assured that her

government will be taking this matter seriously.

I also spoke with Nasser Behbhehani of the

Kuwaiti mission (202-262-0758). Hopefully,

both consulates will take this important

information back to their nations.
