Biowarfare 2000-NYC-West Nile Virus By Robert Lederman Not content to have given himself and NYPD Commissioner Safir prostate cancer from repeated doses of Malathion, Rudy Giuliani, aka the Manhattan Mengele, has announced round two in his biowarfare/eugenics experiment involving 8 million men, women and children considered expendable now that he is not running for office. Pesticide spraying will begin on 7/19. Once again we are going to be covered with toxic insecticides known to cause short term health effects, long term chronic disease and massive environmental destruction in order to fight a virus that: 1. the NYC Department of Health and the CDC admits is usually not dangerous and is very rarely fatal 2. may not exist in NYC outside of government laboratories 3. is likely to be a genetically-altered strain created by the U.S. Army bio-warfare lab at Ft. Dietrick Md. in 1996 4. was being experimented with at the Plum Island Animal disease/bio-warfare lab off Long Island, Rockefeller University in Manhattan and Sloan-Kettering Hospital for years before the 1999 so-called epidemic. 5. cannot be confirmed to have killed a single person in NYC during 1999 Because anti-spray activists-whom the Mayor called environmental terrorists-were successful last year in exposing the Giuliani administrations indefensible use of the bio-warfare agent Malathion, we will be exposed this year to a cocktail of three other toxic insecticides. Once again the Mayor, his puppet health commissioner, Psychiatrist Dr. Neal Cohen, and their CDC, EPA overbosses are lying to the media and the public about the negative health effects associated with exposure to these chemicals. At least this time the media is prefacing their hyped-up National Enquirer type reports on the DEADLY VIRUS!!!! with the admission that West Nile Virus is actually a mild and very rarely fatal disease which the vast majority of those infected will recover from with no symptoms whatsoever. Then why are they spraying??? Unfortunately, the public will again be left to do its own research to find any detailed facts. Here is a preview of what anyone who invests even an hour on the Internet will discover. If you want to protect yourself from mosquitoes generally there is an effective, totally safe and health-enhancing way to do so. Eat at least one clove of raw garlic each day and smear a bit of raw garlic on your skin or clothing before going outside. Cooked, pickled or otherwise processed garlic will not give you any protection. The garlic will also significantly enhance your immune system, improve your sex life and keep vampires like the Mayor at a distance. Avoid ANY exposure to the spray. Especially avoid letting children, pets, the elderly or anyone with asthma or other immune diseases be exposed. Wash or throw away your airconditioner filter after spraying otherwise you will be re-exposing yourself. From: ANVIL LABEL http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dshm/pesticid/anvil.gif Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Do not induce vomiting because of aspiration pneumonia hazard. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Daily News 718/2000 "It will be done in a very, very careful way, but it's absolutely necessary that we do this," Mayor Giuliani said yesterday at a news conference on Staten Island. "Don't panic. This does not mean that there's an outbreak, but it does mean that there's some serious action that we have to take in order to avoid it spreading any further," the mayor said...Health Commissioner Neal Cohen said the city will spray Anvil, a pyrethroid-based pesticide with the active ingredient Sumithrin. For the time being, Anvil will be sprayed from trucks, not helicopters....The mosquitoes that showed evidence of the virus in Westchester included a previously unknown carrier, Aedes japonicus, an Asian mosquito believed to have found its way to the United States in tire shipments. Unlike the mosquito most associated with West Nile — the night-feeding Culex pipiens — the Asian mosquito bites around the clock. Its role in transmitting the virus is unknown at this time, officials said. Rockland Journal News 7/17/2000 Lauri Evans, director of the Westchester chapter of Seeking Alternatives For the Environment, or SAFE, and a member of Westchester For Alternatives to Pesticides, thinks Anvil is far more trouble than its worth. "The spraying is ineffective and counterproductive because those most at risk for West Nile -- the elderly -- are also most at risk for adverse reaction to the chemical," the Katonah woman said. She also pointed out that the spray reaches predators that normally help keep the mosquito population at bay. Residents last year reported rashes, breathing difficulty and tingling in their hands after aerial spraying of the pesticide. But federal officials who regulate pesticides say the exposure involved in any kind of spraying is so minimal, it is considered insignificant. >From a medical website: (Anvil) Sumithrin disrupts the endocrine system by mimicking the effects of estrogen, the female sex hormone. In men, endocrine disrupters can lower the sperm count;in women they can cause the growth of abnormal breast cells. Piperonyl butoxide, added to sumithrin to enhance its lethal properties, has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a possible human carcinogen. Sumithrin is especially ethal for aquatic life and bees. >From the Promed website Visit ProMED-mail's web site at <http://www.promedmail.org>. WEST NILE VIRUS UPDATE. 1950'S EXPERIMENTS USING WEST NILE VIRUS AT SLOAN KETTERING, NYC In the 1950's, experiments with WNV were carried out on human volunteers at the Sloan- Kettering Institute of the Memorial Center for Cancer and Allied Diseases, New York. A total of 95 patients with neoplastic disease were inoculated intramuscularly with the WNV topotype strain Eg-101 in an effort to achieve therapeutic pyrexia and oncolysis in them. Viremia persisted in a majority of them 6-12 days post-inoculation, in eight patients even more than 12 days p.i.(maximum, 28 days p.i. in one patient), and titers were 2-5 logs mouse i.c. LD50 (per 0.1 ml?) blood. No special precautions against mosquitoes were mentioned in the papers. Moreover, it is possible that WNV circulated in the New York area without marked signs of its presence at least since the mid-summer 1999 or even (a year?) before. Theoretically, WNV was for the first time detected in the U.S.A. in 1999 simply because of the extent of the outbreak. NYC Dept of Health Press Release Office of Public Affairs June 15, 2000 (212) 788-5290 If spraying is required, the City will use Scourge, a pyrethroid-based pesticide effective for controlling mosquitoes, that is registered for use in mosquito control by the Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The active ingredient in Scourge is Resmethrin, a synthetic pesticide similar to a natural pesticide produced by chrysanthemum flowers....during spraying, children or adults who have asthma or a respiratory condition should stay inside. In addition, windows and doors should be closed, and air conditioners should be shut off. From: Dr. Robert Simon (ETI [EMAIL PROTECTED]), noted toxicologist and expert on the effects of pesticides: For those who are concerned about the use of pyrethrins (pyrethroids) you can read my brief review on our webpage at www.toxint.com. I did not go into the cancer aspects in this first article, but I did compare pyrethrins I/II to the synthetic pryethroids and have listed LD50s (Iethal dose that kills 1/2 of population tested). The LD50 of resmethrin is surprising low (high tox) compared to sumithrin. This review can provide the basis for asking that pyrethrin selection should be based upon comparative toxicity of the agents available, not just because an agent is "EPA registered". Another key point is to select a pyrethroid with the lowest or no piperonyl butoxide (PBO). Scourge contains 18% resmethrin and 54% PBO, a very potent and toxic mixture. Anvil 10 + 10 contains 10% sumithrin and 10% PBO. While Anvil 10+ 10 is still toxic, it is far less toxic than Scourge. Scourge should not be used at all due to its very high aquatic tox and its significant human tox. None of the pyrethrins should be aerial or truck sprayed since allergic reactions can lead to serious impact on asthmatics and generate immune dysfunction. Also Scourge yields long lasting residues as filter tests have shown in NYC. Sumithrin is more readily broken down by sunlight. Another alternative to mention is Spinosad (Dow Agro Sciences) which now has a preliminary EPA label. It is a biological agent that has tox, but is less toxic than chemical agents. At the most any of the agents should be applied sparingly near mosquito nests and not applied to large populations. None of these agents should be used near children. R.K. Simon From: Newsday 4/14/2000 City Nixes Malathion Spraying Dr. Neal Cohen testified yesterday that if aerial or truck spraying is needed at all this year, the products will be Scourge, known chemically as resmethrin and used last year; Anvil, which is sumethrin, and Agreo Permanone, or permethrin. From: http://www.safe2use.com/poisons-pesticides/pesticides/permethr in/cox.htm PERMETHRIN (Scourge) Permethrin, like all synthetic pyrethroids, is a neurotoxin. Symptoms include tremors, incoordination, elevated body temperature, increased aggressive behavior, and disruption of learning. Laboratory tests suggest that permethrin is more acutely toxic to children than to adults. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified permethrin as a carcinogen because it causes lung tumors in female mice and liver tumors in mice of both sexes. Permethrin inhibits the activity of the immune system in laboratory tests, and also binds to the receptors for a male sex hormone. It causes chromosome aberrations in human and hamster cells. Effects on Reproduction Permethrin affects both male and female reproductive systems. It binds to receptors for androgen, a male sex hormone, in skin cells from human males, causing researchers to “advise protection from any form of contact or ingestion of the pyrethroids.” 22 Permethrin also binds to a different receptor, called the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, that stimulates production of the male sex hormone testosterone.23 In addition, permethrin caused reduced testes weights in a long-term feeding study of mice.24 In females, permethrin exposure has caused embryo loss in pregnant rabbits24 and in pregnant rats.25 PERMETHRIN-FROM: http://www.safe2use.com/poisons-pesticides/pesticides/permethr in/cox.htm Synergy occurs between two or more chemicals when their combined exposure causes more adverse effects than the sum of their individual effects. A possible cause of the health problems reported by 30,000 veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War is exposure to a combination of chemicals, including permethrin. The combination of permethrin, the anti-nerve gas drug pyridostigmine bromide, and the insect repellent DEET has been tested in laboratory animals. Neurotoxic symptoms, including decreased activity, diarrhea, shortness of breath, tremors, inability to walk, and damage to nerves, were observed in hens exposed to all three chemicals, but not in hens exposed to permethrin alone. Permethrin with just pyridostigmine bromide or just DEET also caused tremors and inability to walk, but symptoms were not as severe.35 Other pesticides interact synergistically with permethrin with in other species. Permethrin and the herbicide atrazine synergistically induce growth of the soil fungus Pythium ultimum, 36 and permethrin and the insecticide amitraz are synergistically toxic to the bollworm.37 •Based on tests with laboratory animals, it appears children may be more sensitive to permethrin than adults. Permethrin is almost 5 times more acutely toxic to 8-day-old rats than it is to adult rats.38(See Figure 4.) •Since sulfates are involved in one of the major pathways by which permethrin is broken down in humans, individuals with defects in sulfate-related enzymes may be unable to easily break down permethrin, leading to increased susceptibility to motor neuron disease.39,40 •Individuals with genetic variants of the enzyme pseudocholinesterase that have reduced activity are at higher risk of adverse effects from exposure to certain chemicals, including the permethrin combination implicated in symptoms seen in Gulf War veterans.35 Resmethrin FROM: http://www.safe2use.com/poisons-pesticides/pesticides/pyrethroi ds/resmethrin.htm The pesticide containing resmethrin being used in NY City is called Scourge (TM). It is 18% resmethrin, 54% piperonyl butoxide and 28% inert ingredients. Piperonyl butoxide makes the pesticide more effective by preventing insects from detoxifying resmethrin....Piperonyl butoxide has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a possible human carcinogen. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the inert ingredients, although they may be toxic also.
