chemical weaponry

We watch the Holy Grail and we laugh when Arthur, King of the Britons, runs away from the French who lob pots, pans and bits of cow, and I think a whole cow, down on them. "Run Away, run away" they yell. Still the cow falls on poor Patsy and his coconut shells roll away to the side. That he was hit was only due to the fact that as a quasi beast of burden he couldn't move fast enough. Its not like he didn't see it coming.

But we didn't and we still don't and poor Whittington didn't either. Oh perhaps he saw the gun barrel and the sun glinting off Cheney's head, but he didn't see what his relationship with Cheney would cost him.

And neither did alot of Americans.

This blog is about what we let happen because we abdicate knowing. The folks to whom we abdicate are no smarter, certainly no better than the average yokel.

To that end we have allowed the DoD, among other branches of our fine guvmint to test a multitude of noxious and potentially fatal chemicals on many of us. Some with permission, (unbelievable, but true. We can be such a collectively stupid lot) some without. Perhaps that is why teachers are instructed to teach to the middle: a primal understanding that where any two or more are gathered down goes the I.Q. Maybe that, too is why the verse says God is also where any two or more are gathered. Eventually divine intervention will be needed. But I digress...

The BBC is releasing a documentary on "The Hidden History of US germ testing, 'Hotel Anthrax'". Here is the link

Here also is the link to the staff report for the Committee on Veteran's Affairs in 1994. Chairman at the time was John D.Rockefellar (D) West Virginia. It details the several examples where U.S. Government researchers intentionally exposed Americans to potentially dangerous substances without their knowledge or consent.

Both are worth a read.

But what about the Anthrax, you ask?

Well it would seem that according to an article written in 2001, Judith Miller (maybe back when she had journalistic standards) and William J. Broad determined that the U.S had manufactured the Ames strain of powder Anthrax that was identified in the mail here in the States as well as over seas. 15 guvmint institutions were working with the Ames strain. It would seem that fact limits the number of potential folks who worked with it. Wouldn't it be easy to connect some dots and come up with the notion that the anthrax attacks were from someone within? Someone who had guvmint clearance? Oh but calm down. The FBI was investigating the guvmint's own labs and personnel to determine if this was the case. But the stuff did come from guvmint sources.

But no more has been heard about it, now has it?

Doctors should not operate on family members because of conflict.

Lawyers should not represent themselves because of conflict.

AND THE GUVMINT SHOULD NOT INVESTIGATE ITSELF BECAUSE OF CONFLICT.

collosal dUh.

And no, there has not been any known conclusion of the investigation of the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Smoke less and understand more.
