BIOLOGICAL ATTACK
Since President Bush received his Smallpox vaccination many
Americans (and Europeans) are wondering that since the President
of the United States needs to be protected from this virus, then
should the rest of the free world also be vaccinated? Do we
really have anything to fear from "Biological Weapons?" In a
word, "Yes."
This is a difficult subject for me as it is important the readers
do not take it in the wrong way. I will provide you with the
truth on this issue backed up by scientific study and analysis,
derived from NATO and the American Federation of Scientists. It
is not my intention to frighten anyone, nor to reveal any
information that is not readily available. It is my intent
however, to force us all to address this problem before it
becomes too late to do so.
I have listed the prominent information for each biological agent
with additional information listed for the agents that are more
likely to be used as weapons. If you want to skip the
descriptions of all the agents and skip down to my comments, you
will find my impressions and recommendations at the end of the
agent descriptions.

Anthrax
Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. There
are two types of this disease: cutaneous anthrax and inhalation
anthrax. About 95% of the human anthrax cases in the United
States have been in the former category.
When a patient does not receive an effective antibiotic, the
mortality rate for cutaneous anthrax is 10-20%. With treatment,
the mortality rate falls to less than 1%. Inhalation anthrax
develops when the bacterial organism is inhaled into the lungs. A
progressive infection follows. Since inhalation anthrax is
usually not diagnosed in time for treatment, the mortality rate
in the United States is 90-100%.
A biological warfare attack with anthrax spores delivered by
aerosol would cause inhalation anthrax, an extraordinarily rare
form of the naturally occurring disease.
A lethal dose of anthrax is considered to be 10,000 spores; 80
percent of a population that inhaled such a dose would die. Less
than one millionth of a gram is invariably fatal within five days
to a week after exposure.
According to an estimate by the US Congress's Office of
Technology Assessment, 100 kilograms of anthrax, released from a
low-flying aircraft over a large city on a clear, calm night,
could kill one to three million people.
Shock and death usually follow within 24-36 hours of respiratory
distress onset.
An epidemic of inhalation anthrax in its early stage with
nonspecific symptoms could be confused with a wide variety of
viral, bacterial, and fungal infections.
Almost all cases of inhalation anthrax in which treatment was
begun after patients were symptomatic have been fatal, regardless
of treatment.
Historically, penicillin has been regarded as the treatment of
choice, with 2 million units given intravenously every 2 hours.
Tetracycline and erythromycin have been recommended in
penicillin-sensitive patients. The vast majority of anthrax
strains are sensitive in vitro to penicillin.
However, penicillin-resistant strains exist naturally, and one
has been recovered from a fatal human case. Moreover, it is not
difficult to induce resistance to penicillin, tetracycline,
erythromycin, and many other antibiotics through laboratory
manipulation of organisms. Vaccines are available against some
forms of anthrax, but their efficacy against abnormally high
concentrations of the bacteria is uncertain. A licensed,
alum-precipitated preparation of purified B.anthracis protective
antigen (PA) has been shown to be effective in preventing or
significantly reducing the incidence of inhalation anthrax.
Limited human data suggest that after completion of the first
three doses of the recommended six-dose primary series (0, 2, 4
weeks, then 6, 12, 18 months), protection against both cutaneous
and inhalation anthrax is afforded. As with all vaccines, the
degree of protection depends upon the magnitude of the challenge
dose; vaccine-induced protection is undoubtedly overwhelmed by
extremely high spore challenge.
If there is information indicating that a biological weapon
attack is imminent, prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin (500 mg po
bid), or doxycycline (100 mg po bid) is recommended. If
unvaccinated, a single 0.5 ml dose of vaccine should also be
given subcut aneously. Should the attack be confirmed as anthrax,
antibiotics should be continued for at least 4 weeks in all
exposed.
Botulinum Toxins
Botulism is caused by intoxication with the any of the seven
distinct neurotoxins produced by the bacillus, Clostridium
botulinum. The toxins are proteins with molecular weights of
approximately 150,000, which bind to the presynaptic membrane of
neurons at peripheral cholinergic synapses to prevent release of
acetylcholine and block neurotransmission. The blockade is most
evident clinically in the cholinergic autonomic nervous system
and at the neuromuscular junction. A biological warfare attack
with botulinum toxin delivered by aerosol would be expected to
cause symptoms similar in most respects to those observed with
food-borne botulism.
In pure form, the toxin is a white crystalline substance, that is
readily dissolvable in water, but decays rapidly in the open air.
Symptoms of inhalation botulism may begin as early as 24-36 hours
following exposure or as late as several days. Initia l signs and
symptoms include ptosis, generalized weakness, lassitude, and
dizziness. Diminished salivation with extreme dryness of the
mouth and throat may cause complaints of a sore throat. Urinary
retention or ileus may also occur. Motor symptoms usually are
present early in the disease; cranial nerves are affected first
with blurred vision, diplopia, ptosis, and photophobia.
Development of respiratory failure may be abrupt. Mucous
membranes of the mouth may be dry and crusted. Neurological
examination shows flaccid muscle weakness of the palate, tongue,
larynx, respiratory muscles, and extremities. Deep tendon
reflexes vary from intact to absent.
Respiratory failure secondary to paralysis of respiratory muscles
is the most serious complication and, generally, the cause of
death. Reported cases of botulism prior to 1950 had a mortality
of 60%. With tracheotomy and ventilator assistance, fat alities
should be <5%. Intensive and prolonged nursing care may be
required for recovery (which may take several weeks or even
months).
Use in biological warfare. The organisms are readily lyophilized,
perhaps enhancing their infectivity. Under selected environmental
cond itions (for example, darkness, cool temperatures, high C02),
persistence for up to 2 years has been documented. When used as a
biological warfare agent, Brucellae would most likely be
delivered by the aerosol route; the resulting infecti on would be
expected to mimic natural disease.
The initial symptoms of brucellosis are usually nonspecific, and
the differential diagnosis is therefore very broad and includes
bacterial, viral, and mycoplasmal infections. The systemic
symptoms of viral and mycoplasmal illnesses, however, are usuall
y present for only a few days,
while they persist for prolonged periods in brucellosis.
Brucellosis may be indistinguishable clinically from the
typhoidal form of tularemia or from typhoid fever itself. The
disease in humans is characterized by a multitude of somatic
complaints, including fever, sweats, anorexia, fatigue, malaise,
weight loss, and depression. Localized complications may involve
the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary,
hepatobiliary, osteoarticular, pulmonary and nervous system s.
Without adequate and prompt antibiotic treatment, some patients
develop a 'chronic' brucellosis syndrome with many features of
the 'chronic fatigue' syndrome.
Cholera.
Cholera is a diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholera, a short,
curved, gram-negative bacillus. Humans acquire the disease by
consuming water or food contaminated with the organism. The
organism multiplies in the small intestine and secretes an
enterotoxin that causes a secretory diarrhea. When employed as a
BW agent, cholera will most likely be used to contaminate
water supplies. It is unlikely to be used in aerosol form.
Without treatment, death may result from severe dehydration,
hypovole mia and shock. Vomiting is often present early in the
illness and may complicate oral replacement of fluid losses.
There is little or no fever or abdominal pain.
Watery diarrhea can also be caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli,
rotavirus or other viruses, noncholera vibrios, or food poisoning
due to ingestion of preformed toxins such as those of Clostridium
perfringens, Bacillus cereus, or Staphylococcus aureus.
Clostridium Perfringens Toxins.
Clostridium perfringens is a common anaerobic bacterium
associated with three distinct disease syndromes; gas gangrene or
clostridial myonecrosis; enteritis necroticans (pig-bel); and
clostridium food poisoning. Each of these syndromes has very
specific requirements for delivering inocula of C. perfringens to
specific sites to induce disease, and it is difficult to imagine
a general scenario in which the spores or vegetative organisms
could be used as a biological warfare agent. There are , however,
at least 12 protein toxins elaborated, and one or more of these
could be produced, concentrated, and used as a weapon. Waterborne
disease is conceivable, but unlikely. The alpha toxin would be
lethal by aerosol. This is a well characterized, hi ghly toxic
phospholipase C. Other toxins from the organism might be
co-weaponized and enhance effectiveness. For example, the epsilon
toxin is neurotoxic in laboratory animals.
No specific treatment is available for C. pefringens
intoxication. Early antibiotic treatment is effective, if
undertaken before significant amounts of toxins have accumulated
in the body. If not treated the bacteria enter the bloodstream
causing fatal systemic illness.
Congo-Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever.
Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral disease caused
by CCHF virus. The virus, first isolated in the Congo, is
transmitted by ticks, principally of the genus Hyalomma, with
intermediate vertebrate hosts varying with the tick species. The
disease, next found in the Crimea, occurs also in the Middle
East, the Balkans, the former USSR, and eastern China. In 1969 it
was recognised that the pathogen causing Crimean haemorrhagic
fever was the same as that responsible for an illness identified
in 1956 in the Congo, and linkage of the 2 place-names resulted
in the current name for the disease and the virus. Little is
known about variations in the virus properties over the huge
geographic area involved. Humans become infected through tick
bites, crush ing an infected tick, or at the slaughter of viremic
livestock. Even in epidemics, cases do not show narrow clustering
and person-to-person spread is rare. CCHF would probably be
delivered by aerosol if used as a BW agent.
The length of the incubation period for illness appears to depend
on the mode of acquisition of the virus. Following infection via
tick bite, the incubation period is usually one to three days,
with a maximum of nine days.
Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever
Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever is one of the most virulent viral
disease known to humankind, causing death in 50-90% of all
clinically-ill cases. Consequently, it has figured prominently in
popular discussions of biological warfare, although its practical
appli cations as an biological
warfare agent remain speculative. The disease has its origins in
the jungles of Africa and Asia and several different forms of
Ebola virus have been identified and may be associated with other
clinical expressions, on which furthe r research is required.
The Ebola virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood,
secretions, organs or semen of infected persons. Transmission
through semen may occur up to 7 weeks after clinical recovery, as
with Marburg haemorrhagic fever. Health care workers have f
requently been infected while attending patients. In the 1976
epidemic in Zaire, every Ebola case caused by contaminated
syringes and needles died.
No specific treatment or vaccine exists for Ebola haemorrhagic
fever.
Hospital staff should have individual gowns, gloves and masks.
Gloves and masks must not be reused unless disinfected. Patients
who die from the disease should be promptly buried or cremated.
Melioidosis.
Melioidosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals caused
by Pseudomonas pseudomallei, a gram-negative bacillus. It is
especially prevalent in Southeast Asia but has been described
from many countries around the world. The disease has a variable
and inconstant clinical spectrum. A biological warfare attack
with this organism would most likely be by the aerosol route.
Plague.
Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by Yersinia pestis. Under
natural conditions, humans become infected as a result of contact
with rodents, and their fleas. The transmission of the
gram-negative coccobacillus is by the bite of the infected fl ea,
Xenopsylla cheopis, the oriental rat flea, or
Pulex irritans, the human flea. Under natural conditions, three
syndromes are recognized: bubonic, primary septicemia, or
pneumonic. In a biological warfare scenario, the plague bacillus
coul d be delivered via contaminated vectors (fleas) causing the
bubonic type or, more likely, via aerosol causing the pneumonic
type.
The mortality is 50 percent in untreated patients with the
terminal event being circulatory collapse, hemorrhage, and
peripheral thrombosis.
Q Fever.
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by a rickettsia, Coxiella
burnetii. The most common animal reservoirs are sheep, cattle and
goats. Humans acquire the disease by inhalation of particles
contaminated with the organisms. A biological warfare attack
would cause disease similar to that occurring naturally.
Ricin.
Ricin is a glycoprotein toxin (66,000 daltons) from the seed of
the castor plant. It blocks protein synthesis by altering the
rRNA, thus killing the cell. Ricin's significance as a potential
biological warfare agent relates to its availability world wide,
its ease of production, and extreme
pulmonary toxicity when inhaled.
The exact cause of death is unknown and probably varies with
route of intoxication. High doses by inhalation appear to produce
severe enough pulmonary damage to cause death.
There is currently no prophylaxis approved for human use. Active
immunization and passive antibody prophylaxis are under study, as
both are effective in protecting animals from death following
exposure by intravenous or respiratory routes.
Rift Valley Fever.
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a viral disease caused by RVF virus.
The virus circulates in sub-Saharan Africa as a mosquito-borne
agent. Epizootics occur when susceptible domestic animals are
infected, and because of the large amount of virus in their ser
um, amplify infection to biting arthropods.
Humans become infected by the bite of mosquitoes or by exposure
to virus-laden aerosols or
droplets. The human disease appears to be similar whether
acquired by aerosol or by mosquito bite. A biological warfare
attack, most likely delivered by aerosol, would be ex pected to
elicit the rather specific spectrum of human clinical
manifestations and to cause disease in sheep and cattle in the
exposed area.
A small proportion of cases (approximately one percent) will
progress to a viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome; mortality in this
group is roughly 50 percent. A small number of infections will
lead to a late encephalitis. After apparent recovery from a
typical febrile illness, the patient develops fever, meningeal
signs, obtundation, and focal defects. These patients may die or
often have serious sequelae.
Saxitoxin.
Saxitoxin is the parent compound of a family of chemically
related neurotoxins. In nature they are predominantly produced by
marine dinoflagellates, although they have also been identified
in association with such diverse organisms as blue-green algae ,
crabs, and the blue-ringed octopus. Human intoxications are
principally due to ingestion of bivalve molluscs which have
accumulated dinoflagellates during filter feeding. The resulting
intoxication, known as paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), is
known throughout the world as a severe, life-threatening illness
requiring immediate medical intervention. In a BW scenario, the
most likely route of delivery is by inhalation or toxic
projectile. In addition, saxitoxin could be used in a confined
area to contaminate water supplies.
Death results from respiratory paralysis. Clearance of the toxin
is rapid and survivors for 12-24 hours will usually recover.
There are no known cases of inhalat ion exposure to saxitoxin in
the medical literature, but data from animal experiments suggest
the entire syndrome is compressed and death may occur in minutes.
Timely resuscitation would be imperative, albeit very difficult,
after inhalation exposure on the battlefield No vaccine against
saxitoxin exposure has been developed for human use.
Smallpox.
Smallpox virus, an orthopoxvirus with a narrow host range
confined to humans, was an important cause of morbidity and
mortality in the developing world until recent times. Eradication
of the natural disease was completed in 1977 and the last human
case s (laboratory infections) occurred in 1978. The virus exists
today in only 2 laboratory repositories in the U.S. and Russia.
Appearance of human cases outside the laboratory would signal use
of the virus as a biological weapon. Under natural conditions, t
he virus is transmitted by direct (face-to face) contact with an
infected case, by fomites, and occasionally by aerosols. Smallpox
virus is highly stable and retains infectivity for long periods
outside of the host. A related virus, monkeypox, clinically
resembles smallpox and causes sporadic human disease in West and
Central Africa.
The incubation period is typically 12 days (range, 10-17 days).
The illness begins with a prodrome lasting 2-3 days, with
generalized malaise, fever, rigors, headache, and backache. This
is followed by defervescence and the appearance of a typical skin
eruption characterized by progression over 7-10 days of lesions
through successive stages, from macules to papules to vesicles to
pustules. The latter finally form crusts and, upon healing, leave
depressed depigmented scars. The case fatality rate is
approximately 35% in unvaccinated individuals. Permanent joint
deformities and blindness may follow recovery. Vaccine immunity
may prevent or modify illness.
There is no specific treatment available although some evidence
suggests that vaccinia-immune globulin may be of some value in
treatment if given early in the course of the illness.
Vaccinia virus is a live poxvirus vaccine that induces strong
crossprotection against smallpox for at least 5 years and partial
protection for 10 years or more. The vaccine is administered by
dermal scarification or intradermal jet injection; appearan ce of
a vesicle or pustule within several days is indication of a
"take." Vaccinia-immune human globulin at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg
body weight provides >70% protection against naturally occurring
smallpox if given during the early in cubation period.
Administration immediately after or within the first 24 hours of
exposure would provide the highest level of protection,
especially in unvaccinated persons. The antiviral drug,
n-methylisatin ß-thiosemicarbazone (Marboran®) aff orded
protection in some early trials, but not others, possibly because
of noncompliance due to unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.
Patients with smallpox should be treated by vaccinated personnel
using universal precautions. Objects in contact with the patient,
including bed linens, clothing, ambulance, etc.; require
disinfection by fire, steam, or sodium hypochlorite solution.
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B. [SEB]
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB) is one of several exotoxins
produced by Staphylococcus aureus, causing food poisoning when
ingested. A BW attack with aerosol delivery of SEB to the
respiratory tract produces a distinct syndrome causing signi
ficant morbidity and potential mortality.
The disease begins 1-6 hours after exposure with the sudden onset
of fever, chills, headache, myalgia, and nonproductive cough. In
more severe cases, dyspnea and retrosternal chest pain may also
be present. Fever, which may reach 103-106? F, has lasted 2-5
days, but cough may persist 1-4 weeks. In many patients nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea will also occur. In moderately severe
laboratory exposures, lost duty time has been <2 weeks, but,
based upon animal data, it is anticipated that severe exposures
will result in fatalities.
In foodborne SEB intoxication, fever and respiratory involvement
are not seen, and gastrointestinal symptoms are prominent. The
nonspecific findings of fever, nonproductive cough, myalgia, and
headache occurring in large numbers of patients in an epide mic
setting would suggest any of several infectious respiratory
pathogens, particularly influenza, adenovirus, or mycoplasma. In
a BW attack with SEB, cases would likely have their onset within
a single day, while naturally occurring outbreaks would prese nt
over a more prolonged interval.
Treatment is limited to supportive care. No specific antitoxin
for human use is available. There currently is no prophylaxis for
SEB intoxication.
Trichothecene Mycotoxins
The trichothecene mycotoxins are a diverse group of more than 40
compounds produced by fungi. They are potent inhibitors of
protein synthesis, impair DNA synthesis, alter cell membrane
structure and function, and inhibit mitochondrial respiration.
Sec ondary metabolizes of fungi, such as T-2 toxin and others,
produce toxic reactions called mycotoxicoses upon inhalation or
consumption of contaminated food products by humans or animals.
Naturally occurring trichothecenes have been identified in
agricultu ral products and have been implicated in a disease of
animals known as moldy corn toxicosis or poisoning.
There are no well-documented cases of clinical exposure of humans
to trichothecenes. However, strong circumstantial evidence has
associated these toxins with alimentary toxic aleukia (ATA), the
fatal epidemic seen in Russia during World War II, and with
alleged BW incidents ("yellow rain") in Cambodia, Laos and
Afghanistan.
Consumption of these mycotoxins results in weight loss, vomiting,
skin inflammation, bloody diarrhea, diffuse hemorrhage, and
possibly death. The onset of illness following acute exposure to
T-2 (IV or inhalation) occurs in hours, resulting in the rapi d
onset of circulatory shock characterized by reduced cardiac
output, arterial hypotension, lactic acidosis and death within 12
hours.
Ascorbic acid (400-1200 mg/kg, inter-peritoneal (ip)) works to
decrease lethality in animal studies, but has not been tested in
humans. While not yet available for humans, administration of
large doses of monoclinal antibodies directed against T-2 and
metabolizes have shown prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in
animal models.
Tularemia
Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis,
a gram-negative bacillus. Humans acquire the disease under
natural conditions through inoculation of skin or mucous
membranes with blood or tissue fluids of infected animals, or b
ites of infected deerflies, mosquitoes, or ticks. A BW attack
with F. tularensis delivered by aerosol would primarily cause
typhoidal tularemia, a syndrome expected to have a case fatality
rate which may be higher than the 5-10% seen when dise ase is
acquired naturally.
Case fatality rates may be higher than the 5-10% seen when the
disease is acquired naturally.
Streptomycin (1 gm q 12 intramuscular (IM) for 10-14 days) is the
treatment of choice. Gentamicin also is effective (3-5 mg/kg/day
parenterally for 10-14 days). Tetracycline and chloramphenicol
treatment are effective as well, but are associated with a
significant relapse rate. Although Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis
Eight serologically distinct viruses belonging to the Venezuelan
equine encephalitis (VEE) complex have been associated with human
disease; the most important of these pathogens are designated
subtype 1, variants A, B and C. These agents also cause sev ere
disease in horses, mules, and donkeys (Equidae). Natural
infections are acquired by the bites of a wide variety of
mosquitoes; Equidae serve as the viremic hosts and source of
mosquito infection. In natural human epidemics, severe and often
fatal ence phalitis in Equidae always precedes that in humans. A
BW attack with virus disseminated as an aerosol would cause human
disease as a primary event.
Nearly 100% of those infected suffer an overt illness. After an
incubation period of 1-5 days, onset of illness is extremely
sudden, with generalized malaise, spiking fever, rigors, severe
headache, photophobia, myalgia in the legs and lumbosacral area.
Nausea, vomiting, cough, sore throat, and diarrhea may follow.
The overall case-fatality rate is <1%, but in childr en with
encephalitis, it may reach 20%.
An outbreak of VEE may be difficult to distinguish from influenza
on clinical grounds. Clues to the diagnosis are the appearance of
a small proportion of neurological cases or disease in Equidae,
but these might be absent in a BW attack.
There is no specific therapy. Patients who develop encephalitis
may require anticonvulsant and intensive supportive care to
maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, adequate ventilation, and
to avoid complicating secondary bacterial infections.

Doug Says: If you wish to visit any of the above cites you can
review more detailed information on each Biological agent. I have
simply excerpted the most important aspects of each agent in
respect to Biological warfare use.
There are four key issues this information forces us to address:
1. The morality of our enemies in the use of such terrible
weapons.
2. The ease of production and delivery of the agent.
3. The ability of our enemies to mutate these agents into a
constantly mutating agent that can never be cured by drugs or
prevented by any vaccine.
4. How NATO or the civilized world must change to prevent a
biological attack on the world.
Issue One: The Morality of our Enemies:
In most cases, the theocratic controlled enemy base is morally
attuned to using these weapons against all people not of their
faith. Their Koran tells them to kill all Christians and Jews.
Moreover, they are advised by their Imam's that if they do kill
large numbers of Christians and Jews there will be a special
place made for them in paradise. Consequently, any moral
deterrent to slaughter millions of innocent people is
nonexistent, as we have already witnessed on 911, and via the
hundreds of murder/suicide bombings regularly perpetrated against
Christians and Jews by radical Islam.
Iran is presently working feverishly to develop various
biological and nuclear weapons. Iran already has several of the
Biological weapons listed above, as does Cuba, North Korea,
Pakistan and Iraq.
In the case of secular dictators and draconian monarchies, such
as Iraq, the use of such weapons is absolutely essential to the
survival of that secular power base. After the Gulf war as an
example, Saddam hid the provisions of his surrender from the
Iraqi people. Saddam knew that in order to maintain his power
base he needed to demonstrate to his parliamentary leaders, (and
thereby to the people of Iraq) that he possessed the power to
"strike back" at the cities of America. Hence his involvement in
the 1993 bombing of the WTC, his attempted assassination of
President Bush the elder, and his involvement in the 911
massacres. After each one of those events, Saddam's power base
and popularity grew enormously. So what do the Iraqi people know
that we do not know . . . for sure?
If there is any doubt that secular dictators or draconian
monarchies would be morally hesitant to use terrible biological
weapons against the innocent people of the world, then all one
needs to do is look to the historical tactics of Adolph Hitler,
Mao Te Sung, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, and Saddam for your
answer.
2. The Ease of Production and Delivery of the Agent
Biological agents exist in the natural world. Therefore, they are
easy to obtain and weaponize. Manufacturing weapons' grade
Biological agents is relatively easy compared to most weapons of
mass destruction, and therefore represent the "poor nations"
weapon of choice. Delivery of the biological agents, once
smuggled into the target country, is also relatively easy. Drone
aircraft, crop dusters, silent and almost invisible black
balloons used at night, aerosol cans delivered to operatives to
use in crowded areas, hospitals or confined areas such as
airplanes, trains, buses or cruise ships, mass mailings through
our postal systems, infected newspapers, gas pump handles at gas
stations, the methods of attack with these weapons are almost
endless and cannot be defended completely.
Very soon even the drug cartels and other criminal organizations
will have the capability to produce biological agents, and there
is evidence they are working along those lines this very day.
3. The Ability of our Enemies to Mutate These Agents Into a
Constantly Mutating Agent that Can Never be Cured by Drugs or
Prevented by any Vaccine:
In the worst case, this is a doomsday scenario. If these
biological agents can be altered to force continuous mutation,
then nothing we have or will ever have will be able to destroy
them, or eradicate them from this planet. In the worst case
scenario all Animal life on Earth will cease to exist.
I have been told this constant mutating process has already been
attempted with Smallpox and some other agents, however, the
success rate is not known. Yet since this mutating process seems
to be the holy grail of biological weapons', I believe the
development of such mutated agents is inevitable. Then, whatever
small rogue country, criminal organization or terrorist
organization that possesses this form of biological agents would
be in a very good position to blackmail the world. Since it is
the stated objective of the radical Muslims that all Americans
and the rest of the non Islamic world convert to Islam, and all
Jews be exterminated, I suspect that would be their terms for not
releasing such terrible weapons that will most certainly lead to
nn Armageddon.
4. How NATO or the Civilized World Must Change to Prevent a
Biological Attack on the World:
Herein lies our greatest weakness - we proclaim a national
morality, while our enemies do not. That is an inherent
disadvantage to start. We are subject to a free press. Therefore,
our enemies can use propaganda and the "mantle of victimhood" to
profess to Americans that we are the aggressors, and they would
"never attack us if we leave them alone."
Although all past evidence of the "if we leave them alone, they
will leave us alone" school of thought clearly points to the
contrary, there will be a large number of Americans and Europeans
that will embrace such propaganda. This childlike simplification
of how nations should coexist suits many personal moralities of
Americans and Europeans, and the consequences of a biological
attack are just too horrifying for a typical Judo/Christian to
believe will really happen. The eternal optimists in the free
world will continue to believe that "if we lay down our weapons
our enemies will do the same." Of course they are wrong, as our
enemies have already clearly demonstrated. The following is what
I believe we must do to avoid biological attack.
A. Since we cannot control the technology nor the proliferation
of Biological weapons, we must control those governments and
organizations that would release them on the world. NATO needs to
use force, ruthless force, to insure rouge nations and terrorists
are exterminated or replaced before they can properly develop
these weapons for attack. This means the free world must change
its perception of its morality and political orientations, and it
must employ measures and draconian tactics that heretofore were
never employed against any enemy, foreign or domestic.
B. NATO must use its military against organized crime and
terrorism to a degree that such entities can no longer exist in
the world.
C. The United Nations must be disbanded or its charter modified
to the extreme. To this date the UN has never prevented a war,
destroyed or deterred a country from developing WMD, and in fact,
the UN seems to contribute to the proliferation of such weapons.
If the UN remains intact, it must develop a more protective
attitude toward the democracies of the world, and demand all
nations that are not democracies adopt four basic principles of
government: (1) separation of church and state (2) elected
governments by an accepted form of a democratic process (3)
freedom of the press (4) freedom of speech.
1. The Europeans and other nations of the world must realize that
if America is cowered, then their nations will be next, and will
most certainly fall to the same blackmail and WMD attacks that
might defeat mighty America. Our enemies are not foolish. They
know if they can cower America the rest of the world will fall in
line. There will be no escape for the Europeans or Asians that is
unless they all agree to convert to Islam and start taking
instructions from the Imams.
D. The moral high ground of waiting until we are attacked before
we attack our enemies must be relinquished forever. Weapons of
mass destruction have become far too dangerous and prolific to
allow the first attack before we take military action against our
enemies. Defiance against democracy, or the radical exportation
of theocratic control and beliefs must be specifically attacked
and destroyed by NATO whenever detected. We must stop the
diplomatic "warnings" and chances to reform, and the signing of
"carrot and stick agreements" that will simply be violated in the
future. No "agreement" will change the spots on these Leopards.
No more than our failed Gulf War agreements with Saddam, nor our
failed agreement with North Korea, nor our failed Paris Peace
accords with the North Vietnamese, nor Chamberlain's failed
agreement with Hitler, nor Stalin's failed non-aggression pact
with Hitler, nor the failed non-aggression pact between China and
Imperial Japan were able to deter war or halt these radical
nations from their proclaimed course of action.
1. The propensity for democratic nations to first use diplomacy
to solve problems with radical enemies is dangerous, and our
"diplomacy" is scorned and used by our enemies to great
advantage. (Even in Vietnam when our politicians would negociate
a cease fire with the Viet Cong/NVA, "we would cease and they
would fire." The amount of American servicemen Frank Church and
George McGovern managed to get killed due to their political
opportunist "cease fires" in Vietnam numbers in the thousands).
2. Once NATO adopts fully the posture of preemptive attacks on
enemies of the free world, that posture will deter our enemies
from even thinking about trying to blackmail us into specific
actions with the development of weapons of mass destruction. Much
like the North Koreans have attempted to do recently.
3. The North Korean reactor should be bombed with a surgical air
strike by NATO as soon as possible unless the North Koreans agree
to dismantle it completely.
4. The Russians should be told not to help the Iranians to build
any reactors or we will stop all foreign aid and support. The
Iranians should be officially informed that if we detect any
nuclear reactors being built, NATO will attack and destroy them
with surgical air strikes.
5. The Pakistan government should agree to allow NATO access and
control to their nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and
technology should their government ever fall under the control of
the radicals. If this access is denied, NATO should attack the
Pakistani reactors, nuclear stockpiles, chemical and biological
weapon plants with surgical air strikes without warning.
6. The Indian government should agree to allow NATO access and
control of their nuclear weapons and technology should their
government ever fall under control of radicals that would use
them against Pakistan. If the Indians refuse, then NATO must
attack their reactors, nuclear stockpiles and chemical and
biological weapon plants with surgical air strikes without
warning.
E. The free nations of the world must maintain a resolve and
solidarity against enemy propaganda and other tactics our enemies
will use to attempt to pit us against each other. We must also
resist any attempt to break or denigrate our resolve to destroy
the radicals and rogue nations that would destroy us.
The resolve and solidarity the free nations of the world must
maintain to win our war against our enemies is more important now
than ever before.
In respect to winning the hearts and minds of the people, and
helping them to understand the truth, we all must stand and
challenge enemy propaganda and attempts to divide us anywhere we
detect them. NATO must sponsor and support the development of
free world radio and televison stations throughout the world that
will deliver the truth to the people living in these oppressed
lands. We have the technology to inform the people of the truth
and we should be as ready to use that information process as we
are our bombs. I am not advocating reverse propaganda, I am
advocating telling the Islamic and Communist people the truth . .
. for once in their lives.
If we want our country and our families to remain free and
healthy, we must challenge all radical rhetoric and propaganda
coming from the theocracies, dictatorships and monarchies of the
world. The radical Muslim threat that has clearly allied itself
with communism is the greatest threat the democracies of the
world have ever faced -even greater than even the Cold War or
WWII. The danger is so grave it is almost phantasmagoric and
uncomprehensible to many. So incomprehensible and phantasmagoric
in fact that many do not even believe it really can or will
happen. I assure you we will be attacked with weapons of mass
destruction unless we change ,and change quickly to meet this
unprecedented threat against the free nations of this world.
If you lack resolve to confront this grave danger, imagine your
family with Smallpox, or Anthrax poisoning, or Ebola. That is the
danger we are facing, and it is going to take a radicalization of
our thinking to eliminate that danger. Welcome to the 21st
Century.

Notice that Bush took the vaccine on the day he was leaving town and the
public eye so that he reaction to the vaccine could be hidden.
Doug Says: That may be true, but if he had a reaction the world
would still know about it even if he was in Texas. He still is
in the spotlight regardless of where he might reside.
You're assuming, of course, that he actually got any vaccination to begin
with. They could have shot saline into his arm for all we know. I mean, if
you were president, and a vaccine had even a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of
actually killing you, would you push those odds and risk dying? Of course
not.
Since President Bush received his Smallpox vaccination many
Americans (and Europeans) are wondering that since the President
of the United States needs to be protected from this virus, then
should the rest of the free world also be vaccinated? Do we
really have anything to fear from "Biological Weapons?" In a

Here we have still another hate-filled Jew calling for good Christians

expect from these fearmongering Israeli warhawks, but there may be
some people out there who would accept the garbage without thinking.
So let's all examine this silly propaganda keeping in mind that

the means to deliver them, and has already threatened to use them.

Most of us have noticed only the Palestinians are bombing Jews--all
the other bombings around the world seem to aimed at the US and its
allies. Strangely, none of those terrible international terrorists
seem to bother Israelis or Jewish targets. Hmmm.

and Israel
But let us examine the nonsensical suggestion this hatemonger makes
about how the United States should meet the threat of biological
warfare. He starts by acknowledging just how easy it is to develop
and deliver biological weapons. Hell, just about anyone can do it.
Any small and determined terrorist group anywhere in the world can
find some biological agent that could wreak havoc in any heavily
populated area, and they could deliver it by hand. In other words, it
requires neither money nor manpower to create a biological threat. Any
unsponsored terrorist group can do it. Yet, the suggested solution is
for the United States to create more of such terrorist groups by
attacking the governments around the world.

See how easy it is? Anyone can do it. So what does his hatemongering

enemies, that's what.

Imagine a united world that hates two countries: Israel and the United
States. That's where we in the United States are heading. Americans
support every Israeli atrocity and threatens almost every Muslim
Country. America's war against terrorism is in fact a war against
Islam, and the Muslims around the world are no so blind they can't see
it. So far, they have been remarkably constrained in their criticism
of Bush's Israeli-supporting administration. An open attack on Muslim
countries, however, will fire up Muslim devotees around the world. If
the United States wants to head off biological attacks, the answer is
to seek the cooperation of countries, not to attack them.
Bush's known schedule and visibility is greatly reduced in Texas. A
little make-up and a brief photo op could easily be gotten through if was
half unconscious.
The thought crossed my mind. But Bush seems to operate out of fear,
especially fear of the unknown. I think that with all the reassurances of
his White House staff and doctors he would be more afraid of being infected
than with an adverse reaction. Once the decision was made it was a natural
to use it to attack his image as a chicken hawk.

This post is about biological weapons, and when you snip out the
entire post and change the subject you need to reflect that
change in the subject line. Further, you are supposed to post
under the article not on top of it. In respect to your reply
"all politicians lie" - such generalized statement is not
responding to the issue. Since it would be political suicide to
lie about his vaccination, and all the doctors, press, staff and
everyone involved would need to conspire with President Bush to
lie, your claim is without any basis of fact or merit.

Issue One: The Morality of our Enemies:
In most cases, the theocratic controlled enemy base is morally
attuned to using these weapons against all people not of their
faith. Their Koran tells them to kill all Christians and Jews.
Moreover, they are advised by their Imam's that if they do kill
large numbers of Christians and Jews there will be a special
place made for them in paradise. Consequently, any moral
deterrent to slaughter millions of innocent people is
nonexistent, as we have already witnessed on 911, and via the
hundreds of murder/suicide bombings regularly perpetrated against
Christians and Jews by radical Islam.
Iran is presently working feverishly to develop various
biological and nuclear weapons. Iran already has several of the
Biological weapons listed above, as does Cuba, North Korea,
Pakistan and Iraq.
In the case of secular dictators and draconian monarchies, such
as Iraq, the use of such weapons is absolutely essential to the
survival of that secular power base. After the Gulf war as an
example, Saddam hid the provisions of his surrender from the
Iraqi people. Saddam knew that in order to maintain his power
base he needed to demonstrate to his parliamentary leaders, (and
thereby to the people of Iraq) that he possessed the power to
"strike back" at the cities of America. Hence his involvement in
the 1993 bombing of the WTC, his attempted assassination of
President Bush the elder, and his involvement in the 911
massacres. After each one of those events, Saddam's power base
and popularity grew enormously. So what do the Iraqi people know
that we do not know . . . for sure?
If there is any doubt that secular dictators or draconian
monarchies would be morally hesitant to use terrible biological
weapons against the innocent people of the world, then all one
needs to do is look to the historical tactics of Adolph Hitler,
Mao Te Sung, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, and Saddam for your
answer.
2. The Ease of Production and Delivery of the Agent
Biological agents exist in the natural world. Therefore, they are
easy to obtain and weaponize. Manufacturing weapons' grade
Biological agents is relatively easy compared to most weapons of
mass destruction, and therefore represent the "poor nations"
weapon of choice. Delivery of the biological agents, once
smuggled into the target country, is also relatively easy. Drone
aircraft, crop dusters, silent and almost invisible black
balloons used at night, aerosol cans delivered to operatives to
use in crowded areas, hospitals or confined areas such as
airplanes, trains, buses or cruise ships, mass mailings through
our postal systems, infected newspapers, gas pump handles at gas
stations, the methods of attack with these weapons are almost
endless and cannot be defended completely.
Very soon even the drug cartels and other criminal organizations
will have the capability to produce biological agents, and there
is evidence they are working along those lines this very day.
3. The Ability of our Enemies to Mutate These Agents Into a
If we want our country and our families to remain free and
healthy, we must challenge all radical rhetoric and propaganda
coming from the theocracies, dictatorships and monarchies of the

Doug Says: Actually I am German/Irish decent, a Roman Catholic,
and an American Patriot. Further, Israel is a democracy, and
the only democracy in the middle east. In addition, out of the
five wars that Israel has fought, Israel was attacked each time
by the Arab coalitions. Israel is not an aggressor nation, and
Israel certainly is not attempting to export any type of religion
to any other nation as the radical Muslims are doing all over the
world. The simple differences are that Israel is not an
aggressor nation, and the axis of evil nations are.

Doug Says: Although I would be proud to be a Jew (or a Muslim
for that matter...a real one not a radical) I am not. I am a
Catholic American patriot. Moreover, it is the Palestinians that
are sending over the murder/bombers, not the Israelis. The
Israelis have a right to defend their country, and to bring the
Palestinian murderers and all that support them to justice. The
Israelis have been forced to attack, control and occupy
Palestinian areas due to the murder bombings and other terrorist
attacks perpetrated by the Palestinian terrorists. This is
something they should have done many years ago. Note that since
the Israelis have occupied the Palestinian areas and enforced
curfews, the murder/bombings have been tremendously decreased.
The violence in the middle east can only be stopped by complete
and total victory of the Israelis. The Israelis really need to
go much further, such as depose Terrorfat and install a
non-terrorist Palestinian government that actually cares about
the welfare of the Palestinian people and not just lining their
own pockets with blood money.

Doug Says: We saw how the Muslims protect Christians during the
911 massacres, and before that in Lebanon, Kenya, and after that
with all the attacks on Christian churches throughout the world
by Muslims. Your claim that Muslims are protecting Christians is
preposterous. Israel and America are fighting the same common
enemy...radical Muslim terrorism. Further, the Muslims did not
try to protect the Church of the Nativity, they occupied it
because they knew the Israelis would not destroy it. Then once
they could not use its protection, they left and resumed the
bombing of Christian churches throughout the world. Your claim
is typically Palestinian, false, duplicitous and deceptive.

Doug Says: Quite the contrary. There is no reason to develop
these weapons without an adversary. Rogue countries are the ones
that have created the terrorist groups, and the criminal cartels
are the ones that are generating organized crime. Producing
Biological weapons still takes some scientific ability, and the
ability to deliver the weapons in mass quantities. It is time
for the civilized world to take control of those entities that
are so immoral, or so radical, they would manufacture and use
these weapons. If we do not, then we certainly will be destroyed
by these fringe groups and rogue nations as they also destroy
themselves. Avoiding this catastrophe can only be effected by
NATO maintaining a world order, a world Governmental and weapon
control, and combating criminal organizations as well....now,
before we arrive at a point when these weapons are completely out
of any possible control.

radical Islam brought us - the 911 massacres and all the
preceding and subsequent attacks. It is not just the USA and
Israel that needs to defeat radical Islam, it is NATO, and not
just radical Islam. ANY rogue or radical nation or entity is the
enemy of the free world. NATO unfortunately must start to play
the role of a world Police as well as the protectorate of the
democracies of the world.
There can be no appeasing radicals, and they violate any and all
written diplomatic agreements even before the ink is dry. We are
at war, and we must prosecute this war to a point radical Islam
is destroyed. Further, the reason the rest of the Islamic world
does not join the radicals is they are more afraid of the
radicals than they are of the non-Islamic powers, as well they
should be. Radical Islam is not Islam, it is murder, torture,
and the exportation of radicalism that bears no resemblance to
any real religion of the world.

More odious negative crap. It is hard to distinguish between the mud-slinging
democrat losers and the middle eastern terrorist sympathizers. All this todo
over a smallpox vaccination - I've had three in several decades. If one doesn't
want to be protected then go ahead and take your chances with these ancient
diseases and their associated complications (death is the worst one).
If the armed forces are being protected, of course their commander in chief
should be protected. I wonder how many democrats in Congress will step forward
as role models and be protected with a vaccination?
You hard trouble distinguishing anything other than how tight someone's
lips are locked to Bush's ass. Luckily for you, he's a really big ass.
Doug Says: Bully? Perhaps you did not realize that President
Bush did not rattle any war sabers until after the 911 massacres?
And even then that was the 8th attack by radical Islam. America
is not a "Bully" - America is hard to move to war, but when it
does it is determined to win. President Bush is simply doing
what any other American President would do, and he is doing it
well so far. Even Vice President Al Gore would have been forced
into this war over the 911 massacres had he won the last
election. Moreover, Al Gore has stated often that we should
support and back President Bush completely and without
reservation in respect to our war on terrorism.
America will prosecute this war the same as America prosecutes
other issues in the interest of America. With a fervor, resolve
and determination the world has never seen since WWII.

But you are easy. As I posted before Bush was ever sworn in he planned
to go to war from day 1 as was obvious from the cabinet he chose: a war hero
general for Sec State, a VietNam era Sec Defense, a Persian Gulf war V.P.
Whether Bush intentionally let our guard down leading to 9/11 or not it was
just what he was waiting for. He has embraced it whole-heartedly.

First, they are not George II's political skills but those of his
handlers led by George I. Second, people are pissed off about the economy
and Iraq makes a good whipping boy to transfer their disquiet onto. Third,
cheerleaders are known to have complicated schemes behind the scenes in
order to support their wholesome, rah-rah image.
Fourth, he was a poor student at both Harvard and Yale and wasn't
admitted to either on the strength of his personal accomplishments, but
rather family ties. This is perhaps most significant in his current
behavior: the rules don't apply to him.
The only pudding I see being made is one of blood, lost freedom, and
environmental destruction.
Doug Says: Your logic is out of a comic book. American
leadership is replete with war heroes, former Generals and such.
Your claim is analogous to John Kennedy or Dwight David
Eisenhower wanting to go to war when they became President,
considering of course, they and their entire cabinets were
veterans. In the USA our war veterans hold a place of respect
not contempt.
Further, President Bush did nothing in respect to starting any
war ever. Even after 911 our *CONGRESS* voted unanimously to
resolve (save one Democratic traitor from California) "that a
state of war exists between the USA and all international
terrorists and all those that aid or harbor them." So President
Bush did not start the war, embrace the war or even send the
troops, that was left to our Congress to decide.
Doug Says: President Bush is the one doing the talking, it is
obviously his political skills that won the last election.
Second, no one is pissed off at the economy. When Chairman
Greenspan warned the Clinton Administration about the "economic
bubble" and "irrational exuberance" most people know the Clinton
administration did nothing to stop that false bubble from
growing, and further, allowed and even encouraged all of the
unethical aspects of that bubble in the form of false reporting
from American companies.
Finally, of course, the bubble burst, but Clinton was long gone.
The people know who to blame for the "irrational exuberance" that
Chairman Greenspan warned Congress and the Clinton administration
about long before that bubble burst. Further, President Bush has
managed to bring the economy back on track, and it is now
growing, no longer in a recession, albeit growing slowly yet
surely this time....no more Clinton era smoke and mirrors means
that at least the people can trust their government again.

Doug Says: Please, President Bush was awarded degrees from both
Harvard and Yale. Second, no one is admitted to Harvard and Yale
based upon their personal accomplishments, other that a full
academic scholarship. Even John Kennedy was a "poor student"
against that standard, but he also received his degree the same
as President Bush. And finally, if you have lost any freedom or
noted any environmental destruction, then you must not be an
American. Because I certainly have not lost any of my freedoms,
and I have not noted any environmental destruction increases?

Check the last time a Sec Def was a former Joint Chief of Staff, let alone a
general. Very unusual. The concentration of other military personel and
former was involved cabinet members was obviously high. In any case, I
predicted Bush would get US into war in December 2000 and he has. I don't
claim to be a genius, it was just obvious.

Specious BS
Wrong on every point. Greenspan started raising interest rates during
the 2000 primary season either to control the "irrational exuberance" or to
spike the economy and hurt Gore while helping Bush. It has been downhill
ever since. To say that "no one is pissed off at the economy" is so foolish
as to completely laugh you off the stage.
Should I tell you to take the blinders off, get your head out of your ass,
or stop lying ? The Clean Air Act has been gutted for the first time since
it was signed into law 6 administrations ago. National Parks are being
openned to development which has been forbidden for 50-100 years since their
inceptions. Police intrusions into private life and communications have
been greatly expanded. Etc, etc, etc.
> I don't claim to be a genius,
Well I hope not, that would be an impossible claim to prove for you or any other
left wing democrat propagandist without any `positive suggestions', just
demonization and lies. Your announced candidates and congressional minority
leaders also can't make that ludicrous claim.
Doug Says: If anyone is stupid enough to be pissed off at the
steady growth in the economy we have witnessed in the past six
months they certainly are not pissed off at President Bush.
Everyone knows it was the Clinton administration that was warned
several times by Chairman Greenspan about the economic bubble
they were allowing to grow. The "irrational exuberance" warning
from Chairman Greenspan occurred long before the primary season.
Clinton and the Democrats knew the economy was inflated, yet
they not only allowed that fraudulent economic bubble to grow,
they crowed about it at every opportunity. More Clinton "smoke
and mirrors" is what happened to the US economy. Thankfully we
are not back on track for slow and steady growth.
Doug Says: Should I tell you to stop the generalized diatribe
bullshit and start talking about specifics? You are lying. The
Clean Air act has not been "gutted," the National Park service
has *asked* for development in certain areas, and has in fact
reduced pollution and many problems by restricting automobiles in
many parks. There have been no "Police Intrusions" into private
life in violation of any Constitutional right. If you want to
state some specifics I will be glad to continue with exposing
your false accusations for what they are. Pure unadulterated TP
Bullshit.

Doug Says: No, denying lies is simple and honest. I said what
you claimed was a lie, a glaring hysterical lie at that. I asked
you to post some evidence, and you immediately tried to run and
hide with the idiotic statement above. Either post some basis
for your ridiculous claims or just admit you lied and go on with
your next line of bullshit....of which I will gleefully expose as
nonsense just as I did this time.

This poor unemployed troller has run out of bait (questions). The blank page is
his only intelligent post to date. Maybe his unemployment welfare has lapsed.
Time to get a job, troller.
