Well, the Koreans undid the Lyme
and HIV crimes. They're the ones
who first published the structure
of HIV gp120 - something we knew
http://www.actionlyme.org/PAM3CYS_IMMUNE_SUPPRESSION.htm
about because patients with HIV
test positive to LYMErix:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=2464607[uid]&cmd=DetailsSearch
The same TLR2-agonist immune-suppressing
antigens that are in mycoplasma,
Borrelia and Treponema, are also
in Brucella (Unit 731).
They - the Koreans - got us back. America
now has nothing scientific going on.
As far as Plum Island and war crimes?
Probably. What else explains the
murder of the Iraqi scientist who
worked on Plum Island mycoplasma?
http://www.actionlyme.org/PIIB.htm
We don't care if these CDC crooks are
prosecuted, as long as the world knows
Americans are lying, selfish fools.
As long as the world knows no one should
believe a single thing the CDC says,
we're good. If no nation's government
believes the CDC, they can keep their own
people safe.
We deserve what we get; we Americans did not
have the balls to overthrow the fake Bushie
government and demand that 911 be investigated by
http://www.actionlyme.org/070426.htm
real scientists, and then hang the perps who did it
for their personal Israeli pipelines bootle, wrecking
the economies of Earth and rearranging the global
balance of power.
Germany is now good economic as well as
"security" buds with Russia, LMAO.

Dirty little secrets
By Diarmuid Jeffreys
This summer marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War,
a bloody three-year conflict that set Communist North Korea against a
South Korea supported by a UN coalition headed by the US.
It was the first armed confrontation of the Cold War and by the time a
truce was agreed in 1953, two million soldiers and two million
civilians had been killed or wounded.
Six decades on, the conflict is still not formally resolved.
Troops from both sides continue to face each other across the 38th
parallel, while the relationship between Washington and Pyongyang, the
North Korean capital, is dominated by acrimonious quarrels over the
latter's nuclear weapons programme.
But there is another bitter and intractable dispute that continues to
haunt both sides.
North Korea alleges that the US used biological weapons against Korean
civilians during the war– dropping "germ" bombs containing insects,
shellfish and feathers infected with anthrax, typhoid and bubonic
plague on villages across the country.
The US has always vehemently denied these claims, dismissing them as
crude and outlandish communist propaganda from a secretive and
totalitarian state.
Nevertheless, the accusations have refused to go away. Pyongyang
continues to press for an apology for an "outrage" that the US insists
never happened.
Professor Mori Masataka has been trying to unravel the truth about
alleged germ warfare
Twenty-year mystery
In a specially extended edition, People & Power set out to investigate
this extraordinary story.
Our journey began in North Korea where we were given unprecedented
access to follow a leading Japanese academic, Professor Mori Masataka,
who has been trying to unravel the mystery for the last twenty years.
On this, his fourth visit to the country, Mori's intention was to talk
to men who claim to have witnessed, first hand, biological attacks on
villages in 1952.
But neither he nor People & Power's location producer, Tim Tate, were
under any illusions.
North Korea is one of the world's most secretive states and is usually
impenetrable to journalists. Everywhere our cameras went, government
officials went too, strictly monitoring where and what we could film.
In a vast museum in the centre of Pyongyang, Mori explored a room
given over to what the North Koreans claim is direct evidence of US
germ warfare – including specimen jars filled with flies, mosquitoes
and fleas all allegedly injected with deadly pathogens.
A smartly uniformed army officer, Captain Ryu Uk Hui, drew his
attention to some salvaged bomb casings.
On impact, she said, they were adapted to split open and release the
insects to infect the local population. A film-show followed.
North Koreans said masses of insects crawled around bomb casings which
fell in the snow
The grainy black and white footage, purportedly North Korean news film
from 1952, appeared to show masses of insects crawling on the snow
covered ground beside the bomb casings.
All this could have been phony, of course, and that is how the US has
always responded to such claims, especially to filmed "confessions"
from 36 captured US airmen - also screened in Pyongyang's museum - in
which they give the North Koreans apparently detailed accounts of
their participation in the US "germ" raids.
Accounts that, it must be said, were all retracted on the air crews'
return home to the US after the war.
Hwanjin
But other testimony is more difficult to fake convincingly.
Later, we are driven deep into the North Korean countryside, to a
village called Hwanjin, where two elderly farmers are patiently
waiting.
It is clear they have been tidied up for the occasion and both wore
patriotic badges pinned to their tunics, yet their weathered faces,
calloused hands and still grimy fingernails speak of long years spent
in the fields.
Although it is impossible to be sure, neither seems to be a Communist
Party apparatchik primed for the occasion. And one speaks with
convincing passion about the events that took the life of his father
and many others, in the days after the insects came.
"It was in March", says Yun Chang Bin. "The flies were big and their
colour was brown-ish.
"Not long after that, about April, terrible epidemics like typhoid
fever were spread. People in the village developed high temperatures.
Loss of appetite and then aches on the arms and legs, there was much
pain."
There were some 50 households in the village, he went on, and more
than thirty people died.
"My father died. He suffered a high fever, and then he was not able to
use the lower half of his body, he wasn't able to eat and was not able
to move."
As his fellow farmer nods encouragingly beside him, Yun Chang Bin
looks directly at Professor Mori.
"I want you to go and tell the peace-loving people in the world about
the atrocity the Americans committed to inflict pain to us, to make us
unhappy, to kill all us Korean people, by scattering germ bombs to
exterminate us."
Tears and grimace
At another village, another eyewitness, Li San, Bum holds his arms out
as he describe the iron bomb that almost six decades ago had tumbled
out of a low flying plane onto a nearby frozen lake, spilling its
cargo of insects out onto the snow. And then the villagers began to
get sick and die.
"When they moved their bowels their stools had blood in them. And then
they developed fever, and the fever made them vomit everything. My
grandmother died after contracting this fever. One of my uncles died
as well. So we should regard the Americans as arch enemies - how can
we think well of them," Li San says.
Mori has interviewed dozens of North Koreans over the years and has
heard similar tales from all of them. "They told me their stories,
shedding tears and grimacing with anger. They told me this germ
warfare actually happened."
Yun Chang Bin says his father died from high fever after the US bombed
near his village
But however convincing he has found these accounts, Mori knows that
testimony from North Korean citizens will not be enough to convince a
sceptical world that the US used germ warfare in Korea.
"A scientific investigation or medical or biological investigation
should be carried out. I think it is definitely necessary that a non-
political purely-scientific organisation should be sent to North Korea
to investigate", Mori says.
As it happens, within months of the original allegations being made
back in the 1950s, North Korea invited an international commission to
visit the country.
International commission
Composed of scientists from France, Italy, Sweden, the Soviet Union
and Brazil, and led by Joseph Needham, a distinguished - if left-
leaning - British embryologist, the commission toured the affected
areas, interviewed the sick and the dying and carried out a detailed
analysis of their infections.
The resulting 600-page report included results of post-mortem on the
victims: these identified bubonic plague, cholera and anthrax.
It concluded that germ warfare had been deployed exactly as the North
Koreans claimed. Yet despite its apparent wealth of scientific
evidence, it was again dismissed by the US as communist
disinformation.
Which is why, if a new international enquiry was ever undertaken, it
would have to spread its net far further than North Korea and to the
US, in particular, where the truth almost certainly lies, buried deep
in the Cold War secrets of a superpower.
It was there that People & Power discovered that during the 1940s and
1950s American scientists at the US Army base in Fort Detrick,
Maryland, had developed ways of delivering bomb-loads of insects
infected with bubonic plague and other deadly pathogens.
Our investigations also uncovered two remarkable documents in the US
National Archives.
Unit 731
They revealed that the US had bought the expertise of Unit 731, a
Japanese army biological warfare team, which conducted human
experiments in the 1930s and 1940s to perfect the technology of
bacteriological warfare: in World War 2, the Japanese military had
dropped thousands of "germ bombs" across Northern China, killing
millions of civilians.
A third crucial document - marked "Top Secret" - showed that in
September 1951, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff issued orders to begin
"large scale field tests ... to determine the effectiveness of
specific BW [bacteriological warfare] agents under operational
conditions."
If these "field tests" were indeed undertaken, then they may have
drawn again on the expertise of the Japanese biological warfare team.
In Japan, People & Power found home video footage from one of the
former members of that team, shot just before his death, in which he
claimed that its leaders had indeed assisted the US in mounting "an
attack" in Korea.
But perhaps the most telling evidence came from a former US air force
officer who took part in bombing raids over North Korea.
Kenneth Enoch was shot down in January 1952 and held as a POW for 20
months.
"Confessions"
While in captivity, he was one of 36 US air force officers who made
written and filmed "confessions" that they had taken part in "germ
bomb" missions.
When these POWs were repatriated in 1953, the US department of defence
threatened to charge them with treason for co-operating with their
captors.
Each then retracted their confessions in front of military cameras:
each claimed they had been tortured or indoctrinated by North Korean
and Chinese guards.
But when we tracked down and interviewed Enoch, now a sprightly 85 and
living in a gated retirement community in Texas, he denied having been
ill-treated or indoctrinated – and appeared to make at least a partial
admission that the US did use biological weapons in the Korean War.
"The people who deal in that don't have to go and fight, and that's a
pretty sweet deal for them. You know, but they send it with you," he
said. Nevertheless, he continued to deny that he personally played any
part in biological weapons attacks.
At one point, Enoch said his statements had been coerced by the North
Koreans
Records of Enoch's bombing missions over North Korea were removed by
US air force investigators from the official records in March 1952 –
two months after he was captured and one week before he made his
confession to "germ warfare".
People & Power asked both the US state department and the department
of defence for an interview about the issue raised in our film.
They turned down the offer and also declined to answer ten specific
questions we put to them about North Korea's allegations.
"Baseless claims"
Instead, a spokesman for the US administration dismissed the claims as
"baseless" and said they were "the disinformation campaign that
refuses to die."
So who is to be believed? Professor Mori Masataka, thinks he knows the
answer. "Use of germ weapons in war is in breach of the Geneva
Convention. I think that's why the Americans are refusing to admit the
allegations. But I have no doubt. I'm absolutely sure that this
happened."
The clear implication, of course, is that were North Korea's claims
ever to be proved, the US might be open to prosecution for war crimes
– which would be awkward, to say the least, at a time when the US is
relying on its moral authority to underpin international efforts to
combat global terrorism and nuclear proliferation.
Either way, one thing is clear. Until the allegations are laid to rest
and the US's innocence or culpability is established beyond doubt -
perhaps by an independent enquiry – one of the most enduring Cold War
mysteries will continue to haunt Washington's relationship with the
world's most secretive state.

Righto K--------the CDC- FDA- Dept of Health and Human??? Services all
corrupt rotten doers- talk about communism ---also socialized medicine
is not as bad as they say in all countries -In fact in the Balkans it
is great ---and much better doctors too--these idiots over here--one
track minded jerks --all for the money----The Dept of Health & Human
Svces ....is not for the patient's protection but for doctor cover up
protection --in ref. to studies unexpected adverse events are supposed
to be reported........they ACKNOWLEDGE the lying snake's doctor's word
that we had had no adverse events in the whole study - what a joke...I
guess patient going into shock from overdose fixed dose one shot beta
blocker and getting infarction, bradycardyia, collapsed lung, and much
much more was expected.-plus patient was on a med that was an
exclusion and one of the side effects of that med is slower heart
rate ........what a farce - dept of HUMAN svces. PS - they talk
about Canada's medical treatment - well they have approved hyperbaric
treatment for Lyme Disease.......over here it is EXPERIMENTAL and
quackery......well if it wasn't for the ACA and atrophie blanche which
is a form of cutaneous vasculitis on my lower legs which a European
dr. says the atrophie blanche is from secondary forms of the borrelia
I don't know if by now I would still have my legs....
