US Govt Admits Lyme Disease a Bioweapon Lymerayja | 18.11.2005 13:47 |

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. " .

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10039154/

This is the first admission by a US government body 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.

Please help Lyme patients publicise this scandal, which has caused suffering on

a massive scale. Contact me by email if you are interested in helping. Thank

you.

Bizarre! 18.11.2005 22:05

Uh ---- I live only just over a hundred miles from the epicenter (where Lyme

disease was discovered).

Kind of hard to think of an example of a moderately serious aliment LESS

suitable for military purposes. Yes indeed, if Lyme disease isn't treated

promptly it becomes much more difficult to treat and if neglected for a year or

so, just about impossible. BUT (a very big but) the dibilitating symptoms don't

appear faster than that either.

I guess if you figured that the war was going to last several years might be of

some use. But guess what -- the generals NEVER plan on long wars >

Quickness of Lyme symptoms 22.11.2005 08:28

Actually Mike, the symptoms of Lyme can appear a lot faster than you think. I

live in Pennsylvania, the most Lyme-infested state in the US, and it is ramped

here. I know that most people get flu-like symptoms not long after the bite of

an infected insect. As little as 2 hours after the bite. And flu-like symptoms,

as well as other phsychological symptoms, can have anyone knocked out within a

day. Some pretty scary stuff.

NIH also admits they study Lyme as a Bioweapon 23.11.2005 23:29

From the website of the National Institutes of Health, the leading public health

agency in the US:#

www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/detrick_qa.htm

" Has there ever been an accident at a BSL-3 or BSL-4 facility?

No. A number of BSL-3 and BSL-4 facilities have operated safely in the United

States for 30 years. Rare accidents such as needlesticks may cause exposure of

laboratory staff; immediate treatment of any person so exposed avoids any danger

to other workers or to the community. "

This is a lie. Carroll's book " Lab 257 " documents a number of accidents

at the Plum Island research centre (opposite Lyme, Connecticut)involving

extremely serious microbes even before they " officially " were granted

maximum-containment status.

Also see the Boston Globe for reports of the escape of tularemia from the BU

biowarfare lab, covered up by Dr Mark Klempner, director of the lab and leading

Steere camp Lyme researcher.

" Will the new facility pose any threat to the local community?

A properly constructed and properly operated BSL-3 and BSL-4 facility poses no

threat to the local community... "

Yeah, and clear the runway for oncoming flying pig .

" Are NIAID scientists already studying potential agents of bioterrorism?

" Even before the current emphasis on biodefense, NIAID scientists had been

studying organisms that cause a variety of infectious diseases. Potentially,

some of these microbes also could be used as agents of bioterrorism. Examples of

diseases caused by these agents include plague, Lyme disease, rabies, tick-borne

encephalitis, West Nile virus disease, influenza, anthrax infection, Ebola virus

hemorrhagic fever, HIV, tuberculosis, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies,

and Q fever. All of this work has been carried out in either the land or

Montana laboratories with required safety measures in place. "

At last, some truth. NIAID (infectious diseases division of the National

Institutes of Health) admits it has been studying Lyme disease along with

anthrax, Ebola, plague etc as a potential " agent of bioterrorism " .

Yet people who contract the disease are either told they don't have it, or are

told it's " easily cured in 3 weeks of doxycycline " and left to rot.

To the person who said it takes a year before serious symptoms appear - visit

one of the major Lyme discussion sites, such as LymeNet, and you will meet

hundreds of people who rapidly developed serious symptoms after a tick bite.

Even the Steere camp (govt-backed medical disinfo) admit that serious

neurological and cardiac symptoms can develop within weeks of a tick bite. The

difference is, they pretend that these simply vanish, never to return, and in

general they massively and deliberately downplay the extent of the pandemic and

the chronicity and seriousness of the disease.

Need Additional Information on Lyme Disease 03.01.2006 05:37

My granddaughter has contracted Lyme disease. I need more information before I

send this article to my daughter.

Military Lyme Support 05.01.2006 18:50

This article confirms what I've suspected for a long time......and hence why

military folks need a lot of support for Lyme.....they're the guinea pigs for

this type of stuff!
