Did science-military complex create flesh-eating bacteria?
Farmwars.info discusses another unmentionable in political discourse – the nature and extent of biological “interventions” by the US government:
“Can the military simply experiment on the American public at will? It would seem so.
PUBLIC LAW 105—85—NOV. 18, 1997: USE OF HUMAN SUBJECTS FOR TESTING OF CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS
SEC. 1078. RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF HUMAN SUBJECTS FOR TESTING OF CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS.
(a) PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.—The Secretary of Defense may not conduct (directly or by contract)
(1) any test or experiment involving the use of a chemical agent or biological agent on a civilian population; or
(2) any other testing of a chemical agent or biological agent on human subjects.
(b) EXCEPTIONS.—Subject to subsections (c), (d), and (e), the prohibition in subsection (a) does not apply to a test or experiment carried out for any of the following purposes:
(1) Any peaceful purpose that is related to a medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, or research activity.
(2) Any purpose that is directly related to protection against toxic chemicals or biological weapons and agents.
(2) Any law enforcement purpose, including any purpose related to riot control.
Notice that the exceptions negate the prohibitions. If an act is for a purpose labeled “peaceful,” such as for supposed “defense” experimentation, medical (vaccines), therapeutic, pharmaceutical (drugs), agricultural (GMOs), industrial, or research activity (this encompasses just about everything else) or law enforcement purposes, the use of biological agents is allowed on the public most likely without their permission or consent.

Monsanto and Atlas Venture
And now Monsanto has recently signed a deal with Atlas Venture for funding of, well, who knows? Monsanto does. And Monsanto isn’t telling. But we do know that it will most likely be some sort of “disruptive innovation” because that is Atlas Venture’s specialty. “Atlas Venture is an early stage investment firm dedicated to financing disruptive innovation in Life Sciences and Technology.”
Definition of disruptive innovation/technology:
A new technology that has a serious impact on the status quo and changes the way people have been dealing with something, perhaps for decades. Music CDs all but wiped out the phonograph industry within a few years, and digital cameras are destined to eliminate the film industry. The most disruptive technologies in history have been the telephone, the computer (and all of its offshoots) and the Internet.
BP, Synthetic Genomics, and Atlas Venture
Just where does BP and the Gulf fit into this picture? Well, it just so happens that BP has a long term research and development deal with Synthetic Genomics, who’s founder is Craig Venter, who created Synthia – the flesh eating bacteria in the Gulf.
For more information about the Gulf Blue Plague and Synthia, the synthetic organism created by Craig Venter, see “The BP/Synthetic Genomics Project: The Gulf Blue Plague” by Michael Edward.
Craig Venter of Synthetic Genomics co-founded Celera Genomics with Atlas Venture team member Peter Barrett. These men have a mutual history of partnership in sequencing the human genome.
Peter Barrett (co-founder of Celera Genomics with J. Craig Venter of Synthetic Genome) is a Partner in the Life Sciences group and joined Atlas Venture in 2002. He spent 20 years in operating roles before becoming passionate about genomics and co-founding the first company to sequence the human genome, Celera Genomics.
Celera was founded in 1998 with the mission to sequence the human genome and provide clients with early access to the resulting data. Using state-of-the art sequencing technology supplied by Applied Biosystems and sophisticated internally-developed informatics, Celera pioneered the application of “shotgun” sequencing. While this “shotgun” approach was widely criticized at the time, it has subsequently become a standard method for sequencing complex organisms that is now broadly accepted and routinely used by many of the same scientists who originally scorned the approach. Scores of organisms have now been sequenced using the Celera “shotgun” method.
Accidental Mayhem or Planned Genocide?
Is the ongoing BP incident an experiment gone wrong, or a planned genocidal maneuver? We have yet to find out. We do know that Peter Barrett, who was involved in sequencing the human genome with Craig Venter, the man who created Synthia, is a member of Atlas Venture, the company now funding Monsanto. And we know that past collaboration between Monsanto and the military industrial complex brought us Agent Orange live and in color. Should we be concerned?
It seems that certain organizations with a rather homicidal history of mayhem are working together. They say it’s for our good. But let me ask you this: Will these organizations, bonded together like flies on flypaper, suddenly change their course and use what they devise for good? Any technological breakthrough comes with the responsibility of determining just how it will be used. It is a two-edged sword. It can be used for good or bad, and it is up to the owners of that technology to make the right decisions. Have these organizations made the right decisions in the past? Are they making them now? And considering their past actions, can we really expect any good to come of this collaboration? If your answer is yes, then you are not one of the children who grew up playing on the toxic soil so graciously given to the residents of Anniston Alabama by Monsanto, or one of the Veterans who was poisoned by Agent Orange at Fort Detrick, or one of the people living in the Gulf who can’t breath and is having his/her flesh eaten by a synthetic organism unleashed for who knows what reason by BP and Synthetic Genomics.
Considering the long term and recent history of these agencies and their proclivity for destruction with no regard for human consequences, one has to wonder… what’s next? Just what is Fort Detrick’s conglomeration of ne’er do wells plotting this time? You can be sure that Monsanto and the rest of the gang aren’t telling. Keeping secrets is what they do best, besides wholesale destruction and mayhem, that is. I can hear the silent screams of nature being ripped apart by madmen, and all I can do is scream back – STOP IT!!! STOP IT NOW!!!

Yet another ayurvedic therapy “discovered” by Western science
From Activist Post:
” Mainstream science has now fully recognized the ‘miracle’ powers of coconut oil to not only combat tooth decay and drastically improve overall mouth health, but also to specifically crush a yeast known as candida albicans that can lead to deadly infections. This ‘news’ likely comes as nothing more than further confirmation for many, as natural health practicioners have been recommending coconut oil for years.
The research comes from the Athlone Institute of Technology, where Ireland-based scientists examined the effects of natural and digested coconut oil on common strains of bacteria within the mouth. What they found was that not only did the coconut oil effectively inhibit a majority of the bacteria strains single-handedly, but it was also particularly harmful to candida albicans. This is important when considering the fact that an excessive amount of the yeast known as candida albicans can be brought upon by a poor diet consisting of processed foods and sugar.
Candida infection, also known as candida overgrowth or the ‘candy disease’, can be associated with symptoms like chronic tiredness, recurring yeast infections, and digestive issues. It can also lead to a mouth infection known as thrush — a condition typically ‘treated’ using anti-fungal medications preceeded by an x-ray of your esophagus. Now, researchers are highlighting how coconut oil intake can be an alternative solution with far less side effects and concerns.
In their report, the scientists state that coconut oil could be ‘an effective alternative to chemical additives’ in most dental hygiene products. This refers to the many sulfate chemicals linked to numerous conditions, added fluoride, and many others.”
Notice how, as usual, these scientists do not acknowledge that “coconut oil” has been used for thousands of years in India for its healthful and beautifying properties. Every Ayurvedic regime recommends “oil-pulling” (gargling) with virgin cold-pressed coconut oil; Indian women use it to condition their hair and skin; it is used to cook and is also drunk on its own.
Coconut, like turmeric, cayenne, and dozens of other medicinal plants and herbs, has long been known in India as a curative for dental, skin, and hair problems. It has been studied in India’s scientific institutions and recommended by its clinics and yoga centers for decades. It is a traditional oil familiar to the poorest people on the street.
But the ethnocentrism of Western science is such that none of this is even acknowledged, let alone appreciated, in mainstream reports, giving rise to the pervasive false history that ensures that even educated people in the West remain in a bubble of chauvinistic self-delusion.
This is a bubble central to the high levels of acceptance of empire in Western society.
After all, if everything has been discovered, invented, or created by the West, Western imperialism has to be good for the world.
Governments/Police Expanding Spying On Citizens
Shadow Warrior has the latest on new spy technologies and practices:
“Tech and tracking: Warrantless wiretapping, spying software, police and social, Apple’s new patent
Today we’re rounding up some spying-related news:
• Earlier this month, a federal appeals court ruled that the government may carry on warrantless wiretapping on Americans without fear of being sued, Wired reported. Now the American lawyers whose conversations with their clients in Saudi Arabia were wiretapped are asking the court to hear the case again, this time with 11 judges instead of three. In a filing this week, again according to Wired, the lawyers’ lawyer wrote: “Whether the federal government can violate FISA with impunity is a question of exceptional importance to the nation.” The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act requires court approval for wiretapping but was amended in 2008 to legalize a warrantless-wiretapping program started by the Bush administration after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Also Thursday, the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the Department of Justice, asking it to release information regarding allegations reportedly made public by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., that the National Security Agency’s spying is going beyond what the FISA Amendment Act permits.
“It’s time for the government to come clean and tell us about the NSA’s unconstitutional actions,” EFF Open Government Legal Fellow Mark Rumold said in a press release.
• Then there’s the use of software to track dissidents instead of fight crime. The New York Times reports about FinSpy, an elusive — hard to detect by antivirus software — surveillance tool that can log keystrokes, grab computer-screen images, record chats and more. It has reportedly been found in servers in countries such as Turkmenistan, Brunei and Bahrain, which have been accused of human-rights abuses. The software is supposedly sold only to track criminals, says the British company that sells it, but has been found to be tracking activists.
• CNN has a story on how the police use social media and other technology to track crime, how social networks cooperate or in some cases resist, and the constitutional questions that arise from these practices. While some criminals rat themselves out because they overshare on social networks, the story also talks about how some police set up fake profiles to nab criminals. Fake profiles are against Facebook rules, but in some cases the evidence gathered in this way can still “hold up” in court, according to the article.
• And finally, Apple this week reportedly was granted a patent on a feature that brings up interesting issues: the ability to disable phone and video functions on a mobile device depending on location. When the New York Times wrote about the patent in June, the article focused on how this feature could help the entertainment industry, which prohibits filming of concerts or movies. But the feature does limit key functionality on a device one buys and expects to use freely. And who would decide when cameras and videos would be disabled? Boing Boing’s Mark Frauenfelder writes: “The paranoid side of me imagines governments using it to prevent citizens from communicating with each other or taking video during protests.”
Grassroots see through Assange distraction
Assange sex charges are a Trojan horse to divide and distract::
“Julian Assange is a propagandist, make no mistake of it. Time and time again his supposed leaks have been edited down, altered, and sometimes are just flat out lies. [1] Some of these lies have long since been debunked such as the WMDs in Iraq and the Old Iranian propaganda from the Bush era administration.
Assange has multiple ties that back the assertion that he is a disinformation agent. He is tied to the Rothschild family through Economist magazine [2], which has deep connections to the Rothschild Family. Further investigation will reveal that Assange supposed “intel” can only come from one source; AIPAC. AIPAC is a Zionist spy organization that fronts as a lobby. [3](see source 3 for info)
Now why is that all important? Because it sets up the obvious fact that Swedish charges are a Trojan horse but not one to get at Assange to destroy him, no they are to get the conspiracy community to believe him by giving him and his organization credibility.
The story of what happened is that Julian had sex with two women on separate occasions that approached him during his seminar in the Swedish capital on the August 14th. [4] They both approached him together and filed their charges 6 days later together. Now that reeks of obvious setup.
Now so far the case has been dismissed by a higher ranking prosecutor than the one who filed it and Eva Finne (the chief prosecutor) closed one case saying it wasn’t even worth consideration. Both of these were overturned in a political stunt most likely perpetrated by ether Israel or the USA.
Now let’s look a statement from one of the woman who have accused Assange.
Speaking anonymously, one of the two women involved told the Swedish daily newspaper, Aftonbladet, she had never intended Assange to be charged with rape and that both women had had voluntary relations with him.
“He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him,” she reportedly said. “The responsibility for what happened to me and the other girl lies with a man who had attitude problems with women.” [4]
Now if you look at the wording the quote you see a clear sign of Feminism. The traditional men are garbage rhetoric. Now this kind of ideology can be just a coincidence or it can show ties to the Rockefeller family who engineer feminism with the CIA in the United States with this rhetoric being a key value. [5]
In fact it is not all surprising with that in mind then that you find out that Anna Ardin actually worked for the CIA in anti Castro campaigns. [6] From those campaign is tied to terrorists through Luis Posada Carriles who has killed around 100 people in various bombing attempts. This terrorists was also US sponsored but later jailed.
It is not surprising then when we look at the other woman and find out that she is a feminist as well. Both Anna Ardin and Sofia Wilen have both boasted about how they would destroy Assange and have several twitter posts they wish they could delete revealing their intent on destroying Assange and enjoying partying. [7] Something one would imagine women who were actually raped not doing or saying.
Julian Assange has time and time again been interviewed by members of the Council on Foreign Relations.[8] This is significant because the CFR is controlled by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds. David Rockefeller was the chairman of this group for several years. [9] Showing further connections to the Rockefellers and Rothschild families whom have long noted histories with the CIA.
All of this evidence comes together to show that the events unfolding are nothing but a show for our benefit. It is a Machiavellian plot to divide us against each other dividing the conspiracy community. Then those that follow Wikilinks or its soon to be splinter group [10] will be lead astray and be fed a steady diet of propaganda and disinformation.
When we step back though and look at the whole picture we begin to see a carefully orchestrated drama that is meant to grab our attention and trick us into returning to sheeple status. Though through diligence we can remain free by watching out for carefully constructed machinations like the one playing out before us.

Florence King: I’m Sick Of Everybody On Both Sides
Florence King, cited by the American Thinker:
“Maybe it was the endless hours spent watching the Jacobins on MSNBC, maybe it was switching to CNN and finding cyberspacey John King, the high-tech finger-painter, noodling his living maps. Whatever it was, I was trapped in a cycle of revulsion, resignation, and exhaustion that became unbearable. It was cri de coeur time and out it came: ‘I HATE POLITICS!’
“I’m sick of everybody on both sides, whether it’s Obama making a fool of himself singing at the Apollo Theater, or the whole Nitt Gomney-Sanctus Santorum omnium gatherum on the right.”
Libertarianism: Oppositional and naive?
In a long and sometimes incorrect assessment of libertarianism, a blogger ( Zompist.com) makes two very thoughtful and accurate points:
“The more important point, however, is that the capitalist is the über-villain for communists, and a glorious hero for libertarians; that property is “theft” for the communists, and a “natural right” for libertarians. These dovetail a little too closely for coincidence. It’s natural enough, when a basic element of society is attacked as an evil, for its defenders to counter-attack by elevating it into a principle.
As we should have learned from the history of communism and fascism, however, contradiction is no guarantee of truth; it can lead one into an opposite error instead. And many who rejected communism nonetheless remained zealots. People who leave one ideological extreme usually end up at the other, either quickly (David Horowitz) or slowly (Mario Vargas Llosa). If you’re the sort of person who likes absolutes, you want them even if all your other convictions change.”
(Lila: It’s interesting to me that both Rothbard and Hoppe began on the left, seeking meaning in the structural totalities of Marxism. That explains the feeling one gets when reading both that they retain some of the world-view of the ideology they first embraced).
And this:
“It’s hard to read libertarians without concluding that they’ve never been out of the country– perhaps never out of the suburbs. They don’t know what Latin American rule by the elite looks like; they don’t know any way of running an industrial economy but that of the US; they don’t know what an actually oppressive government looks like; they’ve never experienced a depression; they’ve never lived in a slum or experienced racial discrimination. At the same time, they have a very American sense of entitlement: a gut feeling that they’ve earned the prosperity they were born into, that they owe the community nothing, that they deserve to have whatever they want, that no one should stand in their way.
In short, they’re spoiled, and they’ve evolved a philosophy that they should be spoiled.”
Grammar and spelling errors…
I just wanted to point out that for a while now, odd grammar and spelling errors have been littering my blog posts.
Some of them are mine. I often don’t have time to revise before posting.
But others are not my work at all. They are part of subtle electronic stalking I’ve been experiencing.
I posted previously about the blog being hacked and about a couple of posts being deleted and a user added.
But recently I’ve been noticing other odd things. Mistakes that I’m quite certain I didn’t make cropping up and reappearing after I’ve corrected them. Words being deleted so sentences don’t make sense.
Bear with me. This is just petty harassment..
Dobson’s Family Research Council Labeled “Hate Group”
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post (with whom I don’t usually agree) catches an important story:
“Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization, posted an alert on its blog Tuesday: “Paul Ryan Speaking at Hate Group’s Annual Conference.”
The “hate group” that the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate would be addressing? The Family Research Council, a mainstream conservative think tank founded by James Dobson and run for many years by Gary Bauer.
The day after the gay rights group’s alert went out, 28-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins II walked into the Family Research Council’s Washington headquarters and, according to an FBI affidavit, proclaimed words to the effect of “I don’t like your politics” — and shot the security guard. Corkins, who had recently volunteered at a gay community center, was carrying a 9mm handgun, a box of ammunition and a backpack full of Chick-fil-A — the company whose president recently spoke out against gay marriage.
Mercifully, the gunman was restrained, and nobody was killed. When I walked by the Family Research Council building at 8th and G streets NW on Thursday afternoon, things were returning to normal. Outside the main doors, above which is inscribed the group’s “Faith, Family, Freedom” motto, some discarded yellow police tape lay on the sidewalk. Attention to the incident had already begun to fade.
That’s unfortunate, because this shooting should remind us all of an important truth: that while much of the political anger in America today lies on the right, there are unbalanced and potentially violent people of all political persuasions. The rest of us need to be careful about hurling accusations that can stir up the crazies.
Human Rights Campaign isn’t responsible for the shooting. Neither should the organization that deemed the FRC a “hate group,” the Southern Poverty Law Center, be blamed for a madman’s act. But both are reckless in labeling as a “hate group” a policy shop that advocates for a full range of conservative Christian positions, on issues from stem cells to euthanasia.”
James Jesus Angleton – Super Spy Or KGB Mole?
A well-sourced article at Spartacus Educational asks if James Jesus Angleton chief of counter-intelligence, founder of Israel’s Mossad, and fierce foe of another CIA chief, Bill Colby, was also a KBG mole, as some think Colby was:
“In 1976 Cleveland Cram, the former Chief of Station in the Western Hemisphere, met George T. Kalaris and Ted Shackley at a cocktail party in Washington. Kalaris, who had replaced Angleton as Chief of Counterintelligence, asked Cram if he would like to come back to work. Cram was told that the CIA wanted a study done of Angleton’s reign from 1954 to 1974. “Find out what in hell happened. What were these guys doing.”
Cram took the assignment and was given access to all CIA documents on covert operations. The study entitled History of the Counterintelligence Staff 1954-1974, took six years to complete. As David Wise points out in his book Molehunt (1992): “When Cram finally finished it in 1981… he had produced twelve legal-sized volumes, each three hundred to four hundred pages. Cram’s approximately four-thousand-page study has never been declassified. It remains locked in the CIA’s vaults.”
On 16th May, 1978, John M. Whitten appeared before the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). He criticised Richard Helms for not making a full disclosure about the Rolando Cubela plot to the Warren Commission. He added ” I think that was a morally highly reprehensible act, which he cannot possibly justify under his oath of office or any other standard of professional service.”
Whitten also said that if he had been allowed to continue with the investigation he would have sought out what was going on at JM/WAVE. This would have involved the questioning of Ted Shackley, David Sanchez Morales, Carl E. Jenkins, Rip Robertson, George Joannides, Gordon Campbell and Thomas G. Clines. As Jefferson Morley has pointed out in The Good Spy: “Had Whitten been permitted to follow these leads to their logical conclusions, and had that information been included in the Warren Commission report, that report would have enjoyed more credibility with the public. Instead, Whitten’s secret testimony strengthened the HSCA’s scathing critique of the C.I.A.’s half-hearted investigation of Oswald. The HSCA concluded that Kennedy had been killed by Oswald and unidentifiable co-conspirators.”
John M. Whitten also told the HSCA that James Jesus Angleton involvement in the investigation of the assassination of John F. Kennedy was “improper”. Although he was placed in charge of the investigation by Richard Helms, Angleton “immediately went into action to do all the investigating”. When Whitten complained to Helms about this he refused to act.
Whitten believes that Angleton’s attempts to sabotage the investigation was linked to his relationship with the Mafia. Whitten claims that Angleton also prevented a CIA plan to trace mob money to numbered accounts in Panama. Angleton told Whitten that this investigation should be left to the FBI. When Whitten mentioned this to a senior CIA official, he replied: “Well, that’s Angleton’s excuse. The real reason is that Angleton himself has ties to the Mafia and he would not want to double-cross them.”
Whitten also pointed out that as soon as Angleton took control of the investigation he concluded that Cuba was unimportant and focused his internal investigation on Oswald’s life in the Soviet Union. If Whitten had remained in charge he would have “concentrated his attention on CIA’s JM/WAVE station in Miami, Florida, to uncover what George Joannides, the station chief, and operatives from the SIG and SAS knew about Oswald.”
James Angleton died of lung cancer at Washington’s Sibley Memorial Hospital on 11th May, 1987, and was buried in his hometown of Boise, Idaho.
In 1993 Cleveland Cram completed a study carried out on behalf of the CIA’s Center for the Study of Intelligence (CSI). Of Moles and Molehunters: A Review of Counterintelligence Literature. This document was declassified in 2003. In the document Cram reveals that several senior CIA officers, including Clare Edward Petty, Angleton’s assistant, were convinced that the former Chief of Counterintelligence, was a KGB agent.
In his book, Oswald and the CIA (2008), John Newman argued: “In my view, whoever Oswald’s direct handler or handlers were, we must now seriously consider the possibility that Angleton was probably their general manager. No one else in the Agency had the access, the authority, and the diabolically ingenious mind to manage this sophisticated plot. No one else had the means necessary to plant the WWIII virus in Oswald’s files and keep it dormant for six weeks until the president’s assassination. Whoever those who were ultimately responsible for the decision to kill Kennedy were, their reach extended into the national intelligence apparatus to such a degree that they could call upon a person who knew its inner secrets and workings so well that he could design a failsafe mechanism into the fabric of the plot. The only person who could ensure that a national security cover-up of an apparent counterintelligence nightmare was the head of counterintelligence.”
