AND WHEN DO WE GET TO THE PART ABOUT THE LYME HOLOCAUST??
The "Guidelines" are a cover-up of the
Dearborn/OspA crimes:

The USDOJ is too cowardly to pursue it;
there must be some threat of blackmail
by the Israelis involved.
Note the "BIODEFENSE" reference in Clifford
Harding's latest research grant to study
why Lyme and LYMErix caused immunosuppression
...and no antibodies late in the disease:

Unethical U.S. research killed 83 in Guatemala: panel
WASHINGTON — At least 83 people died as human guinea pigs in macabre
US research on sexually transmitted diseases in Guatemala in the
1940s, a commission ordered by President Barack Obama concluded
Monday.
Nearly 5,500 people were subjected to diagnostic testing and more than
1,300 were exposed to venereal diseases by human contact or
inoculations in research meant to test the drug penicillin, the
presidential commission found.
Within that group, "we believe that there were 83 deaths," said
Stephen Hauser a member of the commission, which has pored over
125,000 documents linked to the shocking episode since being set up by
Obama last November.
Among the 1,300 people exposed to STDs during research between 1946
and 1948, "under 700 received some form of treatment as best as could
be documented," Hauser said.
Obama personally apologized to Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom in
October before ordering a thorough review of what happened. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton described the experiments as "clearly
unethical."
This sentiment was clearly expressed by the commission, which said US
government researchers must have known they were contravening ethical
standards by deliberately infecting mental patients with syphilis.
Commission president Amy Gutmann called it an "historic injustice,"
and said the inquiry aimed to "honor the victims and make sure it
never happens again."
"It was not an accident that this happened in Guatemala," Gutmann
said. "Some of the people involved said we could not do this in our
own country."
The US researchers "systematically failed to act in accordance with
minimal respect for human rights and morality in the conduct of
research," she said, citing "substantial evidence" of an attempted
cover-up.
A Guatemalan study, which was never published, came to light in 2010
after Wellesley College professor Susan Reverby stumbled upon archived
documents outlining the experiment led by controversial US doctor John
Cutler.
Cutler and his fellow researchers enrolled 1,500 people in Guatemala,
including mental patients, for the study, which aimed to find out if
penicillin could be used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
Initially, the researchers infected female Guatemalan commercial sex
workers with gonorrhea or syphilis, and then encouraged them to have
unprotected sex with soldiers or prison inmates.
Neither were the subjects told what the purpose of the research was
nor were they warned of its potentially fatal consequences.
Cutler, who died in 2003, was also involved in a highly controversial
study known as the Tuskegee Experiment in which hundreds of African-
American men with late-stage syphilis were observed but given no
treatment between 1932 and 1972.
The Guatemalan president has called the 1946-1948 experiments
conducted by the US National Institutes of Health "crimes against
humanity" and ordered his own investigation.
