: Editor's Note: As FTW has begun to investigate serious discussions by

: legitimate scientists and academics on the possible 'necessity' of

reducing

: the world's population by more than four billion people, no stranger set

of

: circumstances since Sept. 11 adds credibility to this possibility than the

: suspicious deaths of what may be as many as 14 world-class

microbiologists.

: Following on the heels of our two-part series on the coming world oil

: crisis, this story by son, a graduate of the Syracuse

: University School of Journalism, is one which takes on a unique

: significance. In our original story, we incorrectly reported the original

: date of disappearance of Don Wiley and two other microbiologists. These

: errors have been corrected and we have updated the story to include new

: deaths that have occurred since we published an earlier version on Feb.

14.

: The newest connections to DynCorp, Hadron and PROMIS software are leads an

: amateur would not miss. How else would any microbiologists threatening an

: ultra secret government biological weapons program be identified than by

: secretly scanning their databases to see what they were working on? -- MCR

:

:

: (FTW) - In the four-month period from Nov. 12 through Feb. 11, seven

: world-class microbiologists in different parts of the world were reported

: dead. Six died of " unnatural " causes, while the cause of the seventh's

death

: is questionable. Also on Nov. 12, DynCorp, a major government contractor

for

: data processing, military operations and intelligence work, was awarded a

: $322 million contract to develop, produce and store vaccines for the

: Department of Defense. DynCorp and Hadron, both defense contractors

: connected to classified research programs on communicable diseases, have

: also been linked to a software program known as PROMIS, which may have

: helped identify and target the victims.

:

: In the six weeks prior to Nov. 12, two additional foreign microbiologists

: were reported dead. Some believe there were as many as five more

: microbiologists killed during the period, bringing the total as high as

14.

: These two to seven additional deaths, however, are not the focus of this

: story. This same period also saw the deaths of three persons involved in

: medical research or public health.

:

: · On Nov. 12, Benito Que, 52, was found comatose in the street near the

: laboratory where he worked at the University of Miami Medical School. He

: died on Dec. 6.

:

: · On Nov. 16, Don C. Wiley, 57, vanished, and his abandoned rental car was

: found on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, Tenn. His body was

: found on Dec. 20.

:

: · On Nov. 23, Vladimir Pasechnik, 64, was found dead in Wiltshire,

England,

: not far from his home.

:

: · On Dec. 10, Schwartz, 57, was found murdered in his rural home in

: Loudoun County, Va.

:

: · On Dec, 11, Set Van Nguyen, 44, was found dead in the airlock entrance

to

: a walk-in refrigerator in the laboratory where he worked in

State,

: Australia.

:

: · On Feb. 8, Vladimir Korshunov, 56, was found dead on a Moscow street.

:

: · And on Feb. 11, Ian Langford, 40, was found dead in his home in Norwich,

: England.

:

: OOPS!

:

: Prior to these deaths, on Oct. 4, a commercial jetliner traveling from

: Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an

: " errant " Ukrainian surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The

missile

: was over 100 miles off-course. Despite early news stories reporting it as

a

: charter, the flight, Air Sibir 1812, was a regularly scheduled flight.

:

: According to several press reports, including a Dec. 5 article by Barry

: Chamish and one on Jan. 13 by Jim Rarey (both available at www.rense.com),

: the plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as five

: passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes

: for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the

: scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 research facilities and

: 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million people.

:

: At the time of the Black Sea crash, Israeli journalists had been sounding

: the alarm that two Israeli microbiologists had been recently murdered,

: allegedly by terrorists. On Nov. 24 a Swissair flight from Berlin to

Zurich

: crashed on its landing approach. Of the 33 persons on board, 24 were

killed,

: including the head of the hematology department at Israel's Ichilov

: Hospital, as well as directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department

and

: Hebrew University School of Medicine. They were the only Israelis on the

: flight. The names of those killed, as reported in a subsequent Israeli

news

: story but not matched to their job titles, were Avishai Berkman, Amiramp

: Eldor and Yaacov Matzner.

:

: Besides all being microbiologists, six of the seven scientists who died

: within weeks of each other died from " unnatural " causes. And four of the

: seven were doing virtually identical research -- research that has global,

: political and financial significance.

:

: QUE PASA?

:

: The public relations office at the University of Miami Medical School said

: only that Benito Que was a cell biologist, involved in oncology research

in

: the hematology department. This research relies heavily on DNA sequencing

: studies. The circumstances of his death raise more questions than they

: answer.

:

: Que had left his job at a research laboratory at the University of Miami

: Medical School, apparently heading for his Ford Explorer parked on NW 10th

: Avenue. The Miami Herald, referring to the death as an " incident, "

reported

: he had no wallet on him, and quoted Miami police as saying his death may

: have been the result of a mugging. Police made this statement while at the

: same time saying there was a lack of visible trauma to Que's body. There

is

: firm belief among Que's friends and family that the PhD was attacked by

four

: men, at least one of whom had a baseball bat. Que's death has now been

: officially ruled " natural, " caused by cardiac arrest. Both the Dade County

: medical examiner and the Miami Police would not comment on the case,

saying

: only that it is closed.

:

: A MEMPHIS MYSTERY

:

: Don C. Wiley of the Medical Institute at Harvard University,

: was one of the most prominent microbiologists in the world. He had won

many

: of the field's most prestigious awards, including the 1995 Albert Lasker

: Basic Medical Research Award for work that could make anti-viral vaccines

a

: reality. He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing. Wiley was

: last seen around midnight on Nov. 15, leaving the St. Jude's Children's

: Research Advisory dinner held at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn.

: Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication,

and

: no one has admitted to drinking with him.

:

: His rented Mitsubishi Galant was found about four hours later, abandoned

on

: a bridge across the Mississippi River, headed towards Arkansas. Keys were

in

: the ignition, the gas tank full, and the hazard flashers had not been

turned

: on. Wiley's body was found on Dec. 20, snagged on a tree along the

: Mississippi River in Vidalia, La., 300 miles south of Memphis. Until his

: body was found, Dr. Wiley's death was handled as a missing person case,

and

: police did no forensic examinations.

:

: Early reports about Wiley's disappearance made no mention of paint marks

on

: his car or a missing hubcap, which turned up in subsequent reports. The

type

: of accident needed to knock off the hubcaps (actually a complete wheel

: cover) used on recent model Galants would have caused noticeable damage to

: the sheet metal on either side of the wheel, and probably the wheel

itself.

: No damage to the car's body or wheel has been reported.

:

: Wiley's car was found about a five-minute drive from the hotel where he

was

: last seen. There is a four-hour period in his evening that cannot be

: accounted for. There is also no explanation as to why he would have been

: headed into Arkansas late at night. Wiley was staying at his father's home

: in Memphis.

:

: The Hernando de Soto Bridge carries Interstate 40 out of Memphis, across

the

: Mississippi River into Arkansas. The traffic on the bridge was reduced to

a

: single lane in each direction. This would have caused westbound traffic

out

: of Memphis to slow down and travel in one lane. Anything in the other two

: closed lanes would have been plainly obvious to every passing person.

There

: are no known witnesses to Wiley stopping his car on the bridge.

:

: On Jan. 14, almost two months after his disappearance, Shelby County

Medical

: Examiner O.C. announced that his department had ruled Wiley s death

to

: be " accidental; " the result of massive injuries suffered in a fall from

the

: Hernando de Soto Bridge. said there were paint marks on Wiley's

rental

: car similar to the paint used on construction signs on the bridge, and

that

: the car's right front hubcap was missing. There has been no report as to

: which construction signs Wiley hit. There is also no explanation as to why

: this evidence did not move the Memphis police to consider possibilities

: other than a " missing person. "

:

: theorizes that Wiley pulled over to the outermost lane of the bridge

: (that lane being closed at the time) to inspect the damage to his car.

: 's subsequent explanation for the fall requires several other things

to

: have occurred simultaneously:

:

: · Wiley had to have had one of the two or three seizures he has per year

due

: to a rare disorder known only to family and close friends, that seizure

: being brought on by use of alcohol earlier that evening;

:

: · A passing truck creating a huge blast of wind and/or roadway bounce due

to

: heavy traffic; and,

:

: · Wiley had to be standing on the curb next to the guardrail which,

because

: of Wiley's 6-foot-3-inch height, would have come only to his mid-thigh.

:

: These conditions would have put Wiley's center of gravity above the rail,

: and the seizure would have caused him to lose his balance as the truck

: created the bounce and blast of wind, thus causing him to fall off the

: bridge.

:

: SCIENCE IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD?

:

: M. Schwartz was a founding member of the Virginia Biotechnology

: Association, and the Executive Director of Research and Development at

: Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology. He was extremely well

respected

: in biophysics, and regarded as an authority on DNA sequencing.

:

: Co-workers became concerned when he didn't show up at his office on Dec.

10.

: He was later found dead at his home. Loudoun County Sheriff's officials

said

: Schwartz was stabbed on Dec. 8 with a sword, and had an " X " cut into the

: back of his neck.

:

: Schwartz's daughter Clara, 19, and three others have been charged in the

: case. The four are said to have a fascination with fantasy worlds,

: witchcraft, and the occult. Hulbert, 18, who allegedly committed the

: murder, has a history of mental illness, and is reported by the Washington

: Post to have killed Schwartz to prevent the murder of Clara. At the

request

: of Clara Schwartz's attorneys, on Feb. 13 Judge Pamela Grizzle ordered all

: new evidence introduced about her role in the case to be sealed. She also

: issued a temporary gag order covering the entire case on police,

prosecutors

: and defense attorneys.

:

: BREATHE DEEPLY, AND CARRY A BIG STICK

:

: Set Van Nguyen was found dead on Dec. 11 at the Commonwealth Scientific

and

: Industrial Research Organization's animal diseases facility in Geelong,

: Australia. He had worked there 15 years. According to an article on

: www.rense.com by Ian Gurney, in Jan. 20001 the magazine Nature published

: information that two scientists at this facility, using genetic

manipulation

: and DNA sequencing, had created an incredibly virulent form of mousepox, a

: cousin of smallpox. The researchers were extremely concerned that if

similar

: manipulation could be done to smallpox, a terrifying weapon could be

: unleashed.

:

: According to Police, Nguyen died after entering a refrigerated

: storage facility. " He did not know the room was full of deadly gas which

had

: leaked from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Unable to breathe, Mr.

Nguyen

: collapsed and died, " is the official report.

:

: Nitrogen is not a " deadly " gas, and is a part of air. An extreme

: over-abundance of nitrogen in one's immediate atmosphere would cause

: shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and fatigue -- conditions a

biologist

: would certainly recognize. Additionally, a leak sufficient to fill the

room

: with nitrogen would set off alerts, and would be so massive as to cause a

: complete loss of cooling, causing the temperature to rise, which would

also

: set off alerts these systems are routinely equipped with.

:

: A RUSSIAN, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE AND OLD CORPSES

:

: In 1989, Vladimir Pasechnik defected from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) to

: Great Britain while on a trip to Paris. He had been the top scientist in

the

: FSU's bioweapons program, which is heavily dependent upon DNA sequencing.

: Pasechnik's death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred on

: Nov. 23.

:

: The Times obituary indicated that the announcement of Pasechnik's death

was

: made in the United States by Dr. of Virginia, who stated

: that the cause of death was a stroke. was the member of British

: intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time of his defection.

: says he left the intelligence service in 1996, but when asked why a

: former member of British intelligence would be the person announcing the

: death of Pasechnik to the US media, he replied that it had come about

during

: a conversation with a reporter he had had a long relationship with. The

: reporter named is not the author of the Times' obituary, and

: declined to say which branch of British intelligence he served in. No

: reports of Pasechnik's death appeared in Britain for more than a month,

: until Dec. 29, when his obituary appeared in the London Telegraph, which

did

: not include a date of death.

:

: Pasechnik spent the 10 years after his defection working at the Centre for

: Applied Microbiology and Research at the UK Department of Health,

Salisbury.

: On Feb. 20, 2000, it was announced that, along with partner Caisey

: Harlingten, Pasechnik had formed a company called Regma Biotechnologies

Ltd.

: Regma describes itself as " a new drug company working to provide powerful

: alternatives to antibiotics. " Like three other microbiologists detailed in

: this article, Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research.

: During the anthrax panic of this past fall, Pasechnik offered his services

: to the British government to help in any way possible. Despite Regma

having

: a public relations department that has released many items to the press

over

: the past two years, the company has not announced the death of one of its

: two founders.

:

: FEBRUARY, BLOODY FEBRUARY

:

: On Feb. 9 the news publication Pravda.ru reported that Victor Korshunov

had

: been killed. At the time, Korshunov was head of the microbiology

: sub-facility at the Russian State Medical University. He was found dead in

: the entrance to his home with a cranial injury. Pravda reports that

: Korshunov had probably invented either a vaccine to protect against

: biological weapons, or a weapon itself.

:

: On Feb. 12 a newspaper in Norwich, England reported the previous day's

death

: of Ian Langford, a senior researcher at the University of East Anglia. The

: story went on to say that police " were not treating the death as

: suspicious. " The next day, Britain's The Times reported that Langford was

: found wedged under a chair " at his blood-spattered and apparently

ransacked

: home. "

:

: The February 12 story, from the Eastern Daily Press, reports that clerks

at

: a store near Langford's home claim he came in on a daily basis to buy " a

big

: bottle of vodka. " Two of the store's staff also claim Langford had come

into

: the store a few days earlier wearing " just a jumper and a pair of shoes. "

: None of the store's staff would give their name.

:

: It is hard to understand how a man can reach the highest levels of

: achievement in a scientific field while drinking " a big bottle of vodka "

on

: a daily basis, and strolling around his hometown nearly nude. A Feb. 14

: follow-up story from the Eastern Daily Press says police believe Langford

: died after suffering " one or more falls. " They say this would account for

: his head injuries and large amount of blood found at the death scene.

:

: THE HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INSTITUTE -- ANOTHER LINK?

:

: There is another intriguing connection between three of the five American

: scientists that have died. Wiley, Schwartz, and Benito Que worked for

: medical research facilities that received grants from

Medical

: Institute (HHMI). HHMI funds a tremendous number of research programs at

: schools, hospitals and research facilities, and has long been alleged to

be

: conducting " black ops " biomedical research for intelligence organizations,

: including the CIA.

:

: Long-time biowarfare investigator Dole, Ph.D. reports that there

is

: a history of people connected to HHMI being murdered. In 1994, Trias

: met with a friend in Houston, Texas and was planning to go public with his

: personal knowledge of HHMI " front door " grants being diverted to " back

door "

: black ops bioresearch. The next day, Trias and his wife were found dead in

: their Chevy Chase, Md. home. Chevy Chase is where HHMI is headquartered.

: Police described the killings as a professional hit. Tsunao Saitoh, who

: formerly worked at an HHMI-funded lab at Columbia University, was shot to

: death on May 7, 1996 while sitting in his car outside his home in La

Jolla,

: Calif. Police also described this as a professional hit.

:

: BEYOND THE BIZARRE

:

: Early-October saw reports that British scientists were planning to exhume

: the bodies of 10 London victims of the 1918 type-A flu epidemic known as

the

: Spanish Flu. An October 7 report In The Independent, UK said that victims

of

: the Spanish Flu had been victims of " the world's most deadly virus. "

British

: scientists, according to the story, hope to uncover the genetic makeup of

: the virus, making it easier to combat.

:

: Professor Oxford of London's Queen 's School of Medicine, the

: British government's flu adviser, acknowledges that the exhumations and

: subsequent studies will have to be done with extreme caution so the virus

is

: not unleashed to cause another epidemic. The uncovering of a pathogen's

: genetic structure is the exact work Pasechnik was doing at Regma.

Pasechnik

: died six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced. The need to

: exhume the bodies assumes no Type-A flu virus sample exists in any lab

: anywhere in the world.

:

: A piece on MSNBC that aired September 6 makes the British exhumation plans

: seem odd. The story refers to an article that was to be published the

: following day in the weekly magazine Science, reporting the 1918 flu virus

: had recently been RNA sequenced. Researchers had traced down and obtained

: virus samples from archived lung tissue of WWI soldiers, and from an Inuit

: woman who had been buried in the Alaskan permafrost.

:

: HELP WANTED, SPIES, AND A LINK TO PROMIS

:

: Almost immediately at the outset of the anthrax scare, the Bush

: administration contracted with Bayer Pharmaceuticals for millions of doses

: of Cipro, an antibiotic to treat anthrax. This was done despite many in

the

: medical community stating that there were several cheaper, better

: alternatives to Cipro, which has never been shown to be effective against

: inhaled anthrax. The Center for Disease Control's (CDC) own website states

a

: preference for the antibiotic doxycycline over Cipro for inhalation

anthrax.

: CDC expresses concerns that widespread Cipro use could cause other

bacteria

: to become immune to antibiotics.

:

: It was announced Jan. 21 that the director of the CDC, Koplan, is

: resigning effective March 31. Six days earlier it was announced that

Surgeon

: General Satcher is also resigning. And there is currently no

director

: for the National Institutes of Health -- NIH is being run by an acting

: director. The recent resignations leave the three most significant medical

: positions in the federal government simultaneously vacant.

:

: After three months of conflicting reports it is now official that the

: anthrax that has killed several Americans since October 5 is from US

: military sources connected to CIA research. The FBI has stated that only

10

: people could have had access, yet at the same time they are reporting

: astounding security breaches at the biowarfare facility at Fort Detrick,

: Md. -- breaches such as unauthorized nighttime experiments and lab

specimens

: gone missing.

:

: The militarized anthrax used by the US was developed by C.

: III, who holds five classified patents on the process. He has worked at

both

: Fort Detrick, and the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. is now a

: private biowarfare consultant to the military and CIA. developed

the

: process by which anthrax spores could be concentrated at the level of one

: trillion spores per gram. No other country has been able to get

: concentrations above 500 billion per gram. The anthrax that was sent

around

: the eastern US last fall was concentrated at one trillion spores per gram,

: according to a Jan. 31 report by Barbara Hatch Rosenberg of the Federation

: of American Scientists.

:

: In recent years has worked with Kanatjan Alibekov. Now known by

the

: Americanized " Ken Alibek " , he defected to the US in 1992. Before

defecting,

: Alibek was the no. 2 man in the FSU's biowarfare program. His boss was

: Vladimir Pasechnik.

:

: Currently, Ken Alibek is President of Hadron Advanced Biosystems, a

: subsidiary of andria, Va.-based Hadron, Inc. Hadron describes itself

as

: a company specializing in the development of technical solutions for the

: intelligence community. As chief scientist at Hadron, Alibek gave

extensive

: testimony to the House Armed Services Committee about biological weapons

on

: Oct. 20, 1999, and again on May 23, 2000. Hadron announced on Dec. 20 that

: as of that date, the company had received $12 million in funding for

medical

: biodefense research from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,

the

: US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, and the NIH. Hadron said it

: was working in the field of non-specific immunity.

:

: In the 1980s Hadron was founded and headed by Dr. Earl , a medical

: doctor and crony of Reagan and an associate of former Attorney

: General Edwin Meese. was convicted in the 1980s on fraud charges.

Both

: Hadron and have been closely associated in court documents and

: numerous credible reports, confirmed since Sept. 11, with the theft of

: enhanced PROMIS software from its owner, the INSLAW Corporation. PROMIS is

a

: highly sophisticated computer program capable of integrating a wide

variety

: of databases. The software has reportedly been mated in recent years with

: artificial intelligence. PROMIS has long been known to have been modified

by

: intelligence agencies with a back door that allows for surreptitious

: retrieval of stored data. [For more information on what PROMIS can do and

: its history, please use the search engine at www.copvcia.com.]

:

: Given this unique capability, and Hadron s prior connections to PROMIS, it

: is a possibility that the software, by tapping into databases used by each

: of the victims, could have identified any lines of research that

threatened

: to compromise a larger, and as yet unidentified, more sinister covert

: operation.

:

: A PATTERN?

:

: The DNA sequencing work by several of the microbiologists discussed

earlier

: is aimed at developing drugs that will fight pathogens based on the

: pathogen's genetic profile. The work is also aimed at eventually

developing

: drugs that will work in cooperation with a person's genetic makeup.

: Theoretically, a drug could be developed for one specific person. That

being

: the case, it's obvious that one could go down the ladder, and a drug could

: be developed to effectively treat a much broader class of people sharing a

: genetic marker. The entire process can also be turned around to develop a

: pathogen that will affect a broad class of people sharing a genetic

marker.

: A broad class of people sharing a genetic marker could be a group such as

a

: race, or people with brown eyes.

:

: SMALLPOX

:

: An Oct. 17 story in USA Today reported that the US government wanted to

: order 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine. Apparently, that wish has

been

: granted. On Nov. 28 a British vaccine maker, Acambis, announced that it

had

: received a $428 million contract to provide 155 million doses of smallpox

: vaccine to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This was

: Acambis' second contract. The company is already in the process of

producing

: 54 million doses. The US government has 15.4 million doses stockpiled, and

: HHS plans to dilute them five to one. The two contracts and the dilution

: program will bring the total HHS stockpile to 286 million doses.

:

: Smallpox was officially declared eradicated by the World Health

Organization

: in 1977, after treating the last known case in Merca, Somalia.

:

: MEHPA -- MEDICAL FASCISM

:

: A meeting of the Center for Law and the Public Health (CLPH) was convened

on

: Oct. 5. This group is run jointly by town University Law School and

: s Hopkins Medical School, and was founded under the auspices of the

: Center for Disease Control (CDC). CLPH was formed one month prior to the

: 2000 Presidential election. The purpose of the October meeting was to

draft

: legislation to respond to the then current bioterrorism threat.

:

: After working only 18 days, on Nov. 23 CLPH released a 40-page document

: called the Model Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA). This was a " model "

law

: that HHS is suggesting be enacted by the 50 states to handle future public

: health emergencies such as bioterrorism. A revised version was released on

: Dec. 21 containing more specific definitions of " public health emergency "

as

: it pertains to bioterrorism and biologic agents, and includes language for

: those states that want to use the act for chemical, nuclear or natural

: disasters.

:

: According to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS),

: after declaring a " public health emergency " , and without consulting with

: public health authorities, law enforcement, the legislature or courts, a

: state governor using MEHPA, or anyone he/she decides to empower, can among

: many things:

:

: · Require any individual to be vaccinated. Refusal constitutes a crime and

: will result in quarantine. · Require any individual to undergo specific

: medical treatment. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in

: quarantine. · Seize any property, including real estate, food, medicine,

: fuel or clothing, an official thinks necessary to handle the emergency. ·

: Seize and destroy any property alleged to be hazardous. There will be no

: compensation or recourse. · Draft you or your business into state service.

·

: Impose rationing, price controls, quotas and transportation controls. ·

: Suspend any state law, regulation or rule that is thought to interfere

with

: handling the declared emergency.

:

: When the federal government wanted the states to enact the 55 mph speed

: limit, they coerced the states using the threat of withholding federal

: monies. The same tactic will likely be used with MEHPA. As of this writing

: the law has been passed in Kentucky. According to AAPS, it has been

: introduced in the legislatures of Arizona, California, Delaware, Illinois,

: Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New

: Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. It is expected

to

: be introduced shortly in Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, and

: Wisconsin. MEHPA is being evaluated by the executive branches in North

: Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington,

: DC.

:

: The research the microbiologists were doing could have developed methods

of

: treating diseases like anthrax and smallpox without conventional

antibiotics

: or vaccines. Pharmaceutical contracts to deal with these diseases will

total

: hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars. If epidemics could be

: treated in non-traditional ways, MEHPA might not be necessary. Considering

: the government's actions nullifying many civil liberties since last

: September, MEHPA seems to be a law looking for an excuse to be enacted.

: Maybe the microbiologists were in the way of some peoples' or business'

: agendas.

:

: We also know that DNA sequencing research can be used to develop pathogens

: that target specific genetically related groups. One company, DynCorp,

: handles data processing for many federal agencies, including the CDC, the

: Department of Agriculture, several branches of the Department of Justice,

: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the NIH. On Nov. 12 DynCorp

: announced that its subsidiary, DynPort Vaccine, had been awarded a $322

: million contract to develop, produce, test, and store FDA licensed

vaccines

: for use by the Defense Department. It would be incredibly easy for DynCorp

: to hide information pertaining to the exact make-up, safety, efficacy and

: purpose of the drugs and vaccines the US government has contracted for.

:

:

: Reasons to suspect DynCorp of criminal behavior are not hard to find.
