Yeah, the connections are pretty clear- whattin'ell IS major drug-pushing
if not a form of biowarfare?

Have we viewed this "connect the dots" before? Forgive me if this is a
repeat or off-topic. Hard to see drugs seperate from biological warfare by
the same team. I just got Clancy's book now that it is out in paperback.

The Wanderer
Gulf War Illness Probe To Advance With New
Study
By PAUL LIKOUDIS
Tom Clancy's latest novel Rainbow Six rivets readers with a fictional
account of environmentalist elites who decide that the only way they can
save the world is to radically eliminate over 95% of the human
population.
Some of the world's leading scientists develop a strain of viruses,
which
they call Shiva after the Indian goddess of death, and devise an
ingenious
method to infect the world's population.
Part of Clancy's plot involves the development of two antibodies to
fight
the new virus, one of which will be for the world's elite, to inoculate
them;
the other for the sick, to make them sicker.
But there's a more riveting reallife scenario unfolding in the United
States and around the world that puts Clancy's fictional thriller into
the
realm of the credible: the efforts of a small group of reputable
scientists,
sick U.S. veterans, and a handful of investigative journalists to unlock
the
secrets of Gulf War Illness (GWI), sometimes referred to as Gulf War
Syndrome, which has afflicted between 100,000 and 200,000 military
personnel who served in President George Bush's Desert Storm and their
families, and which is responsible for perhaps 15,000 deaths.
The number of military personnel who have died of the mysterious
illness
remains a classified secret, one of GWI's top researchers, Dr. Garth
Nicolson of the Institute for Molecular Medicine, told The Wanderer.
For nearly ten years, since his daughter Sharron returned from the
gulf
where she served with the 101st Airborne, Nicolson and his wife, Nancy,
a
molecular biophysicist, have waged a lonely, frustrating, and often
dangerous campaign to discover the causes of GWI while working on a
treatment.
Their first big break came last week (Jan. 12th) when they were
notified
by the U.S. Army that their research had been validated and their
Institute
for Molecular Medicine would be one of three centers, with the Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology and the University of Texas at San
Antonio,
involved in a $12 million Veterans' Administrationfunded project to
develop
a treatment for the debilitating and often fatal illness, an infection
known
technically as mycoplasma fermentans.
Dr. Nicolson explains that slightly under onehalf of the Gulf War
veterans
he has tested have shown signs of infection by mycoplasma fermentans.
For the husbandwife team of researchers, the army's notice came as a
tremendous vindication after years of repeated attempts by government
agencies to ruin their careers, their credibility, and their research.
As both Nancy and Garth Nicolson wrote in the October, 1996 issue of
Criminal Politics, since he began researching the causes of GWI, he has
lived through a governmentsponsored "nightmare."
"We were attacked by highlevel military physicians, ostracized by
certain
colleagues who spread rumors about our sanity, forced out of academic
institutions by a concerted effort that involved nonstop administrative
harassment, mail and courier theft, wiretaps, credit card fraud,
breaking a
tenure contract, computer and documents theft, attempts to block our
scientific and medical presentations, sabotage our clinical samples, and
undermine our employees."
Their ordeal over the past eight years since 1991 has convinced them
that certain sections of the U.S. government, working with what might be
called the "eugenics elite" at the country's top research labs in the
fields of
biochemistry and genetic engineering, are testing new designer biologic
agents on the American public, starting with prisoners and military
personnel.
Who They Are
The Doctors Garth and Nancy Nicolson are not your ordinary conspiracy
theory "nuts."
Garth Nicolson before setting up the Institute for Molecular
Medicine, a
501c3 corporation, in Huntington Beach, Calif. was the David Bruton,
Jr.,
Chair in Cancer Research and professor at the University of Texas M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and professor of internal medicine
and professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of
Texas Medical School at Houston.
He was also adjunct professor of comparative medicine at Texas A&M
University. Among the most cited scientists in the world, having
published
over 480 medical and scientific papers, edited 13 books, served on the
editorial boards of 12 medical and scientific journals, and currently
serving
as editor of two (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis and the Journal of
Cellular Biochemistry), he has been the recipient of numerous research
grants from the U.S. Army, the National Cancer Institute, National
Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, and the National
Foundation for Cancer Research. In 1998, he received the Stephen Paget
Award from the Cancer Metastasis Research Society and the Albert
Schweitzer Award in Lisbon.
Nancy Nicolson, a molecular biophysicist, was on the faculty at Baylor
College of Medicine's Department of Immunology and Microbiology.
Both scientists have been nominated for a Nobel Prize for their
groundbreaking work in nucleoprotein gene tracking.
In 1987, Nancy Nicolson believes, she was deliberately infected with
mycoplasma incognitus because she refused to participate in research on
biological weapons and germ warfare, and had, in fact, publicly spoken
in
opposition to such research programs which are, in fact, banned by
international treaties of which the U.S. is a signatory.
She became deathly ill, becoming partly paralyzed; her thyroid was
affected and she contracted meningitis. But during this illness, she
found
the antibiotic Doxycycline helped her regain health.
In 1991, six months after the Nicolson's daughter returned from the
gulf,
Sharron came down with an illness remarkably similar to what Nancy had
just recovered from: chronic fatigue, aching joints, diarrhea, vomiting,
and
fevers. The symptoms seemed similar to mycoplasma infection, and so
the Nicolsons recommended treating her with Doxycycline.
Sharron then began contacting her veteran friends, who were reporting
similar problems, and of the 73 who tried the treatment, 55 reported an
improvement in health.
Now the plot thickens.
That same year, Garth Nicolson began receiving reports of a "mystery
illness" spreading among the employees of the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice in Huntsville. Using gene tracking, the Nicolsons
discovered
these prison employees tested positive for mycoplasma fermentans
infection.
Prisoners in Huntsville, Palestine, and Victoria, Texas, had been
given
experimental flu vaccines purportedly developed by Tanox Biosystems on
Stella Link in Houston, a company with close ties to Baylor, and the
testing
was part of a U.S. Armysponsored program run by biotechnology firms.
The inmates at Huntsville then began spreading their disease to the
prison guards, who passed it on to family members and others in the
general population, who then started coming down with symptoms similar
to those of such dread diseases as Lou Gehrig's Disease, MS, and
Guillian
Barre Syndrome.
As Garth Nicolson reported his discoveries, he encountered increasing
hostility from his peers, including Dr. Charles LeMaistre, a friend of
George
Bush and the past president of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; Dr.
George Young, chief of the VA in Houston; and Dr. Robert M. Couch, head
of the Baylor Influenza Program, because his findings implied illegal
testing.
Among Tanox's investors are George Bush and his former Secretary of
State and fellow Texan James Baker III.
As opposition rose, so did their understanding of M.D. Anderson's deep
involvement in biological weapons research and testing since the late
1970s, and that M.D. Anderson was specifically engaged in research on
mycoplasma fermentans as a biological weapon.
Garth Nicolson resigned under pressure from M.D. Anderson in August,
1996, and was ordered to remove all his research equipment and materials
from M.D. Anderson, where he had served as senior tenured professor and
department chairman for 16 years.
"The administration was trying to restrict our activities in the area
of GWI
and I resigned because of my stand on academic freedom and my right to
pursue that particular line of investigation. I had unanimous internal
clinical review board approval for the research," he told The Wanderer,
"but
I suspect that thenMajor General Ronald Blanck, currently surgeon
general
of the army, was pressuring the M.D. Anderson administration to stop our
research."
Spreading The Disease
In dozens of research reports for professional medical journals, and
in
four separate, sworn testimonies before congressional committees, the
Doctors Nicolson state their belief that Gulf War Illness was caused
both by
the vaccines soldiers sent to the gulf received and by airborne
chemicals
released when U.S. troops destroyed tons of Saddam Hussein's chemical
weapons.
Their testimony is that soldiers were exposed to five possible sources
of
exposure: vaccines, some of which were questionable and were
contaminated by microorganisms; blowback from destroyed biological and
chemical weapons; factories and bunkers which stored the agents;
approximately 60 Italianmade biological weapons sprayers that were fully
deployed in southern Iraq and Kuwait; as well as airburst SCUD missiles
equipped for delivery of chemical and biological weapons.
Prior to deployment, the army administered vaccines, ostensibly,
against
weaponsborn anthrax, to 150,000 soldiers, often eight or nine shots at a
time. Eightyfive percent of soldiers were told by their commanders that
they could not refuse the vaccines, under threat of courtmartial, and
43%
experienced immediate side effects.
Together, the vaccines and Saddam's chemical weapons produced a toxic
cocktail producing GWI, the symptoms of which include: aching joints,
chronic fatigue, memory loss, night sweats, headaches, skin rashes,
depression, muscle spasms, dizziness, nausea, vision problems, sex
problems, urination problems, hair loss, bleeding gums, vision problems,
and eye pain.
Perhaps the most frightening facet of GWI is that a large fraction of
it is a
communicable disease caused by the biological weapons which Gulf War
vets have passed on to their wives, their children, including those in
utero,
and even to pets.
In his congressional testimony, Dr. Garth Nicolson stated that the
Gulf
War was the first time in history that vaccine records on the troops
were
classified and remain classified to this day. The Department of Defense
has admitted, however, that over 400,000 records have disappeared.
Former Air Force Captain Joyce Riley, a Gulf War vet and another major
figure working to expose the causes of GWI, has concluded that medical
records of approximately 70% of all Gulf War vets are listed as
"missing."
Another bizarre twist to this tale is that the army's medical records
from
the Gulf War were in storage at the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma
City when it was bombed.
What has alarmed the Nicolsons, and other researchers, is that
mycoplasmal infections are often relatively benign, but preliminary
investigations of some mycoplasma found in some Gulf War veterans
contains the HIV1 envelope gene, a component of the AIDS virus which
renders the mycoplasma invasive, enabling it to spread throughout the
body, alter DNA, and cause birth defects.
Another frightful scenario is the possibility that some vets, who have
been
infected with the mycoplasma disease but as yet show no symptoms, may
be donating blood, and thereby infecting the larger population.
This is the view of Dr. Patricia Axelrod, one of the first to speak
out about
Gulf War Illness. In a Dec. 12th, 1996 Montel interview, she said: "We
are
dealing with bacterial warfare agents. We are dealing with chemical
warfare
agents. We are dealing with radiation poisoning. . . . The Department of
Defense is covering this up."
Already, as Life magazine reported in 1995, an abnormally high
percentage of children with birth defects have been born to Gulf War
vets.
More Mysteries
On Feb. 9th, 1994, former Michigan Sen. Don Riegle, Jr., took to the
floor
of the U.S. Senate and reported:
"Records available from the supplier for the period from 1985 until
the
present show that during this period, pathogenicbiologic agents meaning
poisonous and other materials were exported to Iraq pursuant to
application and licensing by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
"Records prior to 1985 were not available, according to the supplier.
These exported materials were not attenuated or weakened and were
capable of reproduction. Thus, from at least 1985 through 1989, the
United States government approved the sale of quantities of potentially
lethal biological agents that could have been cultured or grown in large
quantities in an Iraqi biological warfare program. . . .
"I find it especially troubling that, according to the supplier's
records,
these materials were requested by and sent to Iraqi government agencies,
including the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission, the Iraq Ministry of
Higher
Education, the State Company for Drug Industries, and the Ministry of
Trade. While there may be legitimate needs for pathogens in medical
research, closer scrutiny should be exercised."
Among the chemicals sent to Iraq Riegle cited were Bacillus Anthacis,
Clostridium Botulinum, Histoplasma Capsulatum, and Brucella Melitensis.
"If you look at what the Iraqis were ordering," said Dr. Nicolson,
"they
were ordering far more than what they would need for legitimate testing
purposes as controls for diagnostic testing."
Among the companies granted export licenses to ship these toxic agents
abroad was the American Type Culture Collection of Rockville, Md., and
the
federal government's own Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta was
responsible for shipping some of the materials, according to Riegle's
investigation.
Strange Twists
One of the strangest facts among the millions uncovered by
investigators
such as the Nicolsons and Captain Riley is that Nobel laureate Joshua
Lederberg of Rockefeller University is on American Type Culture
Collection's board of directors.
Lederberg is not only one of the world's leading experts on
cuttingedge
molecular biology and genetics, but was also named to lead the
presidential commission to investigate the Gulf War disease by President
Clinton.
Lederberg, a member of the Department of Defense Science Board and
an advocate of biological warfare, has helped steer Defense funds to
organizations working on biological warfare.
As chairman of the government's investigators into GWI, Lederberg
claimed that his researchers could not discover any cause for Gulf War
Illness.
Another Nobel laureate who figures in this drama is Dr. James Watson,
who won a Nobel in 1962 for physiology and medicine with two British
scientists, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilson, for his role in unraveling
the
molecular structure of DNA.
In 1968, Watson became director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
of
Quantitative Biology in New York, where he is a leading researcher in
the
Human Genome Project.
Watson, with other doctors, was involved in the development of the flu
vaccine which was used on the inmates in Texas prisons.
Meanwhile, as the Clinton administration slowly changes its official
position that Gulf War Illness is a myth, the Department of Defense
acknowledges its past shortcomings in handling complaints related to GWI
and research on its causes; the Veterans Administration has reported
that
the activeduty tumor rate in the U.S. military has increased more than
600% since 1990; there is a health crisis in the gulf states, with an
estimated 15%20% of populations "sick" at any given time; birth defects
and infant deaths are soaring.
In a September, 1996 appearance at Washington University in St. Louis,
Nobel laureate Edward O. Wilson, an environmental scientist, spoke on
the
subject of downsizing the earth's population.
The mildmannered Harvard professor of entomology, reported The St.
Louis PostDispatch (Sept. 12th, 1996), explained how the earth's
population had to be brought down to "'the hundreds of millions' for a
true
ecological balance. . . .
"A single global policy on population is unfeasible, he said. But
efforts
are under way in this and other populous nations to achieve zero
population growth and even depopulation, he said."
The March/April, 1996 edition of Foreign Affairs published an article
for its
elite readership, "Why We Need a Smaller U.S. Population and How We
Can Achieve It."
The stuff of fiction? Not anymore.
"This story gets more and more tangled the deeper you dig," Dr.
Nicolson
told The Wanderer.
Indeed it does, especially as GWI is exploding in the civilian
population.
+ + +
For Gulf War vets, there is some good news, Dr. Nicolson said. "The
Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs are now
allowing physicians to treat microplasma infections in Gulf War Illness
patients with antibiotics, according to our published protocols.
"This was not allowed just a few months ago."
