$100-billion Germ Warfare

Industry a “Criminal Enterprise,”
Author of U.S. Biowarfare Act Says
—
The American legal authority
who in 1989 drafted the law Congress enacted to comply with the 1972 Biological
Weapons Convention says the U.S. today [October 11, 2015] is in flagrant
violation of that Convention.
“Since Sept. 11, 2001, we
have spent somewhere in the area of $100 billion” on offensive biological
warfare, charges Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois,
Champaign.
Boyle
said an estimated 13,000 “death scientists” in 400 laboratories in the U.S. and
abroad, are employed making new strains of offensive killer germs that will be
resistant to vaccines.
For example, Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka’s group at the University of
Wisconsin has found a way to increase the toxicity of the flu virus by 200
times! Boyle says Kawaoka is “the same death scientist who resurrected the
genocidal Spanish Flu virus for the Pentagon for offensive biowarfare
purposes.”
As for fighting flu, the
National Institutes of Health in 2006, a typical year, got only $120 million
from Congress to fight flu, which kills an estimated 36,000 Americans annually.
By contrast, Congress gave NIH $1.76 billion for “biodefense,” even though the
anthrax outbreak in 2001 killed just five persons.
“These distorted budgetary
allocations,” (spending 15 times as much for germ warfare as for fighting flu)
demonstrate that the priority here is not the promotion of the public health of
American citizens but rather to further develop the U.S. offensive biowarfare
industry that will someday ‘blowback’ upon the American people with a
catastrophic pandemic,” Boyle said.
He went on to say the
Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) are “ready, willing, and able to
launch biowarfare when it suits their interests…They have a super-weapons-grade
anthrax that they already used against us in October, 2001.”
Boyle here was referring to
the anthrax pathogens mailed to two U.S. Senators (Tom Daschle, of South Dakota
and Patrick Leahy, of Vermont) and others after 9/11 that were traced back to
the Government’s biowarfare lab at Fort Detrick, Md.
Boyle’s remarks came in
response to written questions from Sherwood Ross, a Miami, Fla.-based
columnist. Asked if the recent outbreaks of Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia
could be from U.S. Government-backed facilities, Boyle replied:
“These Ebola vaccines were
experimental U.S. biowarfare vaccines that were being tested out in West
Africa. It was a result of testing out of the U.S. biowarfare vaccines at our
lab in Kenema, Sierra Leone, that created the West African Ebola pandemic in
the first place.”
Boyle warned that the
Galveston National Laboratory in Texas, a high-containment research lab, has
been seeking for potential biowarfare agents in the wild in other parts of the
world “in order to turn them into biological weapons.”
He said, “They should shut
down Galveston as an ongoing criminal enterprise along the lines of the S.S.
and the Gestapo — except that Galveston is far more dangerous to humanity than
Hitler’s death squads ever were.”
Boyle added, “American
universities have a long history of willingly permitting their research agenda,
researchers, institutes, and laboratories to be co-opted, corrupted, and
perverted by the the Pentagon and the C.I.A. into death science. These include
Wisconsin, North Carolina, Boston U., Harvard, M.I.T., Tulane, University of
Chicago, and my own University of Illinois, as well as many others.”
