Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 From P. Dalton <pdalton@...>: Portland Independent Media Center http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/01/331695.shtml US Government Admits Lyme Disease Is A Bioweapon author: Lymerayja The existence of the Lyme disease epidemic is officially covered up in the UK, its myriad presentations routinely misdiagnosed as everything from " M.E. " to MS to hypochondria. This is the first admission by a US government body that the cause is an incapacitating biowar agent SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The $10.6 million Margaret Batts Tobin Laboratory Building will provide a 22,000-square-foot facility to study such diseases as anthrax, tularemia, cholera, lyme disease, desert valley fever and other parasitic and fungal diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these diseases as potential bioterrorism agents. " . So, for the first time, a US government body admits that Lyme disease is a biological warfare agent. This is the reason that hundreds of thousands of men, women and children around the world have been left to rot with wrong diagnoses, or have had their Lyme disease acknowledged but been told that it is an " easily-treated " disease, given 3 weeks' antibiotics, then told to shove off when their symptoms carried on after that. In Britain the existence of the epidemic is denied completely, and virtually no effort made to warn or educate the public about the dangers of ticks, which carry the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. The Borrelia genus has been a subject of biowar experimentation at least as far back as WW2, when the infamous Japanese Unit 731, which tortured and experimented on live prisoners, studied it. The reality is, Lyme disease is for many a chronic, horrendous, incapacitating disease producing crippling fatigue, constant pain, loss of memory, possible paralysis, psychosis, blindness and even death. It was an ideal biowar agent because it evades detection on routine tests, has an enormous range of different presentations, and can mimic everything from ADHD to multiple sclerosis to carpal tunnel syndrome to rheumatoid arthritis to chronic fatigue syndrome (M.E.) to lupus to schizophrenia. Enemy medical staff would never know what had hit them, nor even that ONE illness had hit their population, rather than an unexplained rise in dozens of known conditions. Honest doctors and scientists who tried to treat or research Lyme disease according to ethical principles have been viciously persecuted by government-backed organisations in the US, Europe and elsewhere. Many specialists in the US were threatened with loss of their license or had anonymous, false allegations sent to the medical board, which tied them up in mountains of paperwork and legal fees...some were forced out of medicine or even driven to suicide. Instead, medical disinfo agents, most of whom have a background in military/biowarfare units, such as Dr Steere, Mark Klempner, Philip Baker, McSweegan, Dennis, Alan Barbour etc were enabled to assume top positions in Lyme research , CDC, NIH etc from where they issued false information , covering up the true seriousness and chronic nature of the disease, and comdemned untold numbers to a living hell.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 This is off topic at least. As for Lyme. It is not a great biological weapon. There is a vaccine for Lyme disease. If it was used and not in massive quanities imediately then the rest of a targeted population could be vacinated against the disease fairly easily. Nor is Lyme fatal very often. It is a nasty disease that often cripples some of it's victems. Some make full recovery as far as we know. It is an old disease recently discovered as a disease. Previous sufferers have been misdiagnosed for centuries. It makes a very poor biological agent because it does not disrupt the economy. Even the worst suffererers have good and bad days. Many are only mildly afflicted. There may be long term side effects we are unaware of however. A more effective means of long term attack on a nation would be to intentionally distribute large levels of carcingens in the water supply and into areas of dense populations such as mass transit facilities, large building's air handlers, busses and from atop buildings in dense urban areas. This would assure very high doses of carcinigens in a very compact population base. In short you would create an epidemic of cancer among those who lived and worked even a few short years under those conditions. It would take 10-20 years to apprear. Carcinigens are easily availible. There are no controls on them. Nor would they be detectable unless somebody was looking for them. Methods of distrabution could be easily disguised. So why would anybody cultivate Lyme disease when a much more effective long term solution was already at hand? Unlike lyme disease such an epidemic of cancer would be untracable and would cause political turmoil as people when it was eventually noticed would turn on establishments thinking it was thier fault. The forign or domestic agents who deployed the toxins would have long since moved on. Ebola, now THAT would be a dangerous biological weapon. Fatality rates around %80 for untreated and still at least %70 for those diagnosed early and with best possible medical care. It is quickly transmitted. Can spread in a population before the first victim knows they have it. So a single Eboloa carrier in Grand Central station for example could literally infect thousands. The only drawback is it requires contact with bodily fluids. Still it manages to infect %90 of most villages where it strikes. So this is not much of a drawback in terms of a biological agent. Is Eboloa the focus of reseach? Yes it is. The US and many other nations have samples of the disease and it is part of most advanced nations biological arsonals. You want to think about something scary. The US, UK, France and Germany in particuler have the resrources to cross breed Ebola with the common cold to give it a much more contagious form. So instead of thousands it could kill millions in a very short time. This kind of biological agent makes Lyme look like a poor joke. It would have imediate and devestating impact upon any targeted population. It would have a very high rate of mortality. So high that the AIDS epidemic would look like a mild cold outbreak. The rapidity in which it would traverse the world if released in a first world nation would stagger the mind. It could be world wide in a day. So why would anybody go to all the work to make lyme disease a biological weapon? It is grossly inferior to availible means. It would be difficult to deploy. You cannot drink something to aquire lyme disease. The only current known means of infection is by tic bite. To infect people you need contact with thier blood. So deployment would require sophisticated scams of a very expensive nature. Antrax is more deadly and can be very inexpensively deployed. Why not go with Anthrax instead? I fail to see the logic. How and why would the US infect Britons? I find that particuler allegation the most ludicrious of all. The UK is an ally. If we wanted human guinia pigs why not Africa, Central America or parts of Asia? Agents could operate there without detection, without fear of reprisal and even create very tight control groups for thier projects. There is little effective government in many countries. What little government there is can often be bought cheaply. There are various ethnic, relgious and tribal rivalries that could be manipulated thus the testing agency would not even have to provide the deployment personel. Volenteers would gladly step up. As long as it hurt thier enemy they would do almost anything for free. In the UK you have a sophisticated medical system. It is an allied nation populated by generally well educated people. If caught the repercussions would be severe at the least. There would be little coruption on the scale widely availible in the third world to take advantage of. The cost of the operation would go up tremendously. It just plain makes no logical sense. Whoever this author is, they seem to have skipped a dose of thier medication when writing what they did. They also have little background in any kind of science or social dynamics. Nor do they really have a grasp of the MO of intelligence agencies. They should take a trip to areas where the cold war was fought. There are quite a few juicy tales of real life intrigue at the expense of the native populations of these countries where Soviet and Western intelligence agencies fought and tested weapons. At first I thought this was meant as a humerous article. I kept waiting for the punchline as it was so out of touch with reality. Come on guys give us a break man. JFK that was a conspiracy. There may well be something to the Roswell incident but I doubt it happened in Roswell. Too much intentional misdirection going on. The Govs of the world, especially the Soviets were involved in quite a few nasties. Computer viruses for example. For a long time nearly %90 of them were churned out by Bulgaria. The US Gov is far from exempt. They have repeatedly tested bizzarre sometimes cruel and lethal things on it's own population. The soldiers poisoned by radiation, the effects on workers in Area 51, The syphalis intentionally given to Blacks in one small town. Those are just the ones we know about. Spreading Lyme disease to the citizens of an allied nation ROFL. On 9/23/06, TVA12082208@... <TVA12082208@...> wrote: > > > From P.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 The name derives from the location in 1975 of the first noticed epidemic. I say noticed because like AIDS and many other " recently " discovered conditions. It is likely to turn out that Lyme has been with us for quite a while. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/lyme-disease/DS00116 http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001319.htm http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/index.htm http://www.aldf.com/lyme.shtml http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50F11F93A5A0C708DDDAF0894D94044\ 82 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease Strains Lyme disease is caused by spirochetal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirochetal> bacteria <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria> from the genus<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus> *Borrelia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrelia>*, which has well over three hundred known genomic strains<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_%28biology%29>. The *Borrelia* species <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species> known to cause Lyme disease are collectively known as *Borrelia burgdorferi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrelia_burgdorferi>sensu lato *, and have been found to have greater strain diversity<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_diversity>than previously estimated. [14] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Bunikis-a> Until recently it was thought that only three genospecies caused Lyme disease: *B. burgdorferi sensu stricto* (predominant in North America<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America>, but also in Europe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>), *B. afzelii*, and *B. garinii* (both predominant in Eurasia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia>). However, newly discovered genospecies have also been found to cause disease in humans: *B. lusitaniae*[15]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Collares>in Europe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe> (especially Portugal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal>), North Africa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa> and Asia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia>, *B. bissettii*[16] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Postic> [17] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Maraspin> in the U.S.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.>and Europe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>, and *B. spielmanii*[18]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Richter> [19] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Foldvari> in Europe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>. Additional *B. burgdorferi* sensu lato genospecies suspected of causing illness, but not confirmed by culture, include *B. valaisiana* (Eurasia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia>, especially England <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England>, Switzerland<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland>and the Netherlands <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands>); *B. japonica*, *B. tanukii* and *B. turdae* (Japan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan>); *B. sinica* (China <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China>); and *B. andersonii* ( U.S. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.>). Some of these species are carried by ticks not currently recognized as carriers of Lyme disease. *Note: At present, diagnostic tests are based only on B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (the only species used in the U.S.), B. afzelii and B. garinii.* Apart from this group of closely related genospecies, additional *Borrelia*species of interest include *B. lonestari*, a spirochete recently detected in the *Amblyomma americanum*tick (Lone Star tick) in the U.S.[20] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Varela> *B. lonestari* is suspected of causing STARI<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=STARI & action=edit>(Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness), also known as Masters disease<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Masters_disease & action=edit>in honor of its discoverer. The illness follows a Lone Star tick bite and clinically resembles Lyme disease, but sufferers usually test negative for Lyme.[21] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#_note-Masters> There is currently no diagnostic test available for STARI/Masters, and no official treatment protocol, though antibiotics are generally prescribed. The *B. miyamotoi* spirochete, related to the relapsing fever<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relapsing_fever>group of spirochetes, is also suspected of causing illness in Japan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan>. Spirochetes similar to *B. miyamotoi* have recently been found in both *I. ricinus* ticks in Sweden<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden>and *I. scapularis* ticks in the U.S <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.> On 9/24/06, szukidavis@... <szukidavis@...> wrote: > > In a message dated 9/24/06 7:03:23 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > draciron@... <draciron%40gmail.com> writes: > > > It is an old disease recently discovered as a disease.
