"The book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret
Cold War Experiments, by investigative journalist H.P. Albarelli Jr. documents
that the Pont-St.-Esprit outbreak in 1951 was the result of a covert LSD
aerosol experiment directed by the US Army's top-secret Special Operations
Division at Fort Detrick, Maryland.iv"
Way to go, Kris.
Some years ago my brother mentioned doing contract research
with botulinum and salmonella. I said,"Somebody was looking
over your shoulder". Then I read Albarelli's book, and ran
across salmonella typhimurium ST313 in my internet reading.
I asked my brother how statistically likely it was that ST313
would encounter a "flying transposon" in nature, with or without
advanced antibiotics which have nothing to do with modifying it
to pass from human to human host, and receive all of the mods
it has. He said he didn't know but he had been poisoned at
Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital by salmonella typhimurium
and so had his supervisor, an army captain from Fort Detrick.
Their boss was a colonel from Fort Detrick, US Army Chemical
Corps.
ST313 kills one out of four people who get a proper diagnosis,
and then do receive proper treatment. What is proper treatment?
My brother's supervisor was still walking around beside a pole
on wheels with an IV hanging from it, connected to his arm by
a tube, SIX MONTHS after his "accident". His and my brother's
"accidents" may have been like the many LSD experiments on
unwitting subjects who worked in the lab, like Frank Olson
and almost everybody he worked with.
The book gives several examples where CIA contracted for
testing at hospitals, like my brother's group at Walter
Reed. In every case, whether a prison hospital, a mental
hospital, or even an animal hospital where humans like
N***i H******n, my friend incarcerated in a CIA animal
research lab with a muslim doctor running it, near Princeton,
the humans were used for guinea pigs for LSD. Also CIA agent
Harold Hodge injected mental patients with radium without
their knowledge, according to Charles Bryson, Fluoride
Deception. Were my brother and his supervisor deliberately
contaminated? Were they contaminated at Walter Reed in
order to have medical treatment closer than at Fort Detrick,
or as with other CIA experiments with LSD and radium at
hospitals, were unwitting subjects sought among those
who came there solely for medical treatment?
Would somebody who blew up a daycare center in OKC and flew
three eleven year olds into the Pentagon actually experiment
on human beings without their knowledge? I think so, and the
1970's Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission documented
so. Now we know more about CIA experiments on unwitting subjects
at hospitals, thanks to Albarelli and Bryson.
How about French hospitals? French daycare centers? The Israelis
rocketed Christian Lebanese through their apartment windows in
July 2006, to the cheers of Rev. Pat Robertson. Sometimes babies
wander into the three hundred yard kill radius of white phosphorus.
Today I went to an optometrist where a Somali woman works who lost
her whole family to a USN bomb in Somalia. When Paul Rodigruez had
caught FBI making pedophile blackmail videos with children CIA had
kidnapped at places like Boystown("Franklin") and Presidio and the
West Point daycare center and Mae Hong San orphanage, Thailand,
the FBI agents exclaimed,"But we're the good guys". They must
have been southerners brought up on Charles Dabney and Rev. Pat
Robertson and other Constantinian mouthpieces. Useful idiots!
H1N1, when Nixon's whole Bay of Pigs flew. Albarelli's Olson book
documents that during WW2 the chief of the Fort Detrick biowar
program had the good sense to know that the pathogens like H1N1
and ST313 and 911 anthrax would get loose if the program was
privatized out to universities and private labs. Ebola got
loose in Hazleton Lab, Tysons Corner, Virginia, where my friend
K**** S**** was working at the time. Of course anthrax and ST313
will get out just like 911 anthrax and H1N1, but know that will
be as problems and solutions from the same people. They look at
disease creation as printing money, but I would submit that there
is only so much extortion a parasite can inflict and it does not
matter whether that parasite uses new or old weapons to mug us.
The Israelis are pioneering a security economy, writes Naomi
Klein. I think George Mason U prof David Levy and U Richmond
prof Sandra Peart make a case for a larger and more robust
economy in Vanity of the Philosopher. I concur, as I could not
help but notice that we actually carried the biggest, strongest
dinosaurs on our shoulder last year("bailout"). If the little
lizards can ride on our shoulders, why should we hope any longer
in their urinary capacity for Jack Kemp's yellow trickledown
economics? Voodoo economics indeed, but not at the animistic
level but rather at the shamanistic level, if you catch what's
blowing on the wind. We've been had. Mary Hartman doubts that
Elk Run and Mayo replications of CIA biowar production at
Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital and Fort Detrick and the
CIA LSD brothels and FBI pedophile blackmail video salons will
really propigate enough endangered dinosaurs to save us with
yellow rain trickledown economics.
Levy and Peart argue that sympathy never left economics, but
rather was only censored out of hired-archicalist pro-pagan-da
and advertising, and that a return of sympathy to the literature
would end a regressive trend toward a smaller economy under the
neocon religion of Reagan and the Bush family. Prescott Bush
went to Germany in the 1920's and preached the security economy
and yellow rain trickledown economics, and Naomi Klein writes in
Disaster Capitalism that Israel has bought into the same Ponzi
scam, and how ironic that is.
Albarelli writes that Detrick(OSS,CIA) and Porton Down took
biowar pathogens to Africa and other places. CIA used Marburg
(and Ebola?) in Zaire to rein in Mobutu after he tried to get
CIA out. CIA used biowar pathogens again in Angola, and since
they used South African cutous, probably again in Namibia in
the war between South Africa and Namibia. As a result some of
what are being referred to as "emerging" diseases are actually
war surplus, courtesy of CIA. ST313 human-hosted salmonella
is a CIA weapon calculated to kill whole villages. You can
read between the lines, the lines of censored news media which
tell us only that it kills one out of four who even get diagnosed
and then who can afford six months of antibiotics administerred
by IV. How many poor Africans can afford that? How many Africans
have really been killed by ST313 and Marburg, CIA biowar? How
many mules and acres now, Mr. Blue?
