Flashback July 2019: Pentagon Ordered to Unveil Terrifying Biological Weapon Able to Unleash Killer Disease

by mosesman
The United States and Biological Warfare argues persuasively that the United States experimented with and deployed biological weapons during the Korean War. … For the first time, there is hard evidence that the United States lied both to Congress and the American public in saying that the American biological warfare program was purely defensive and for retaliation only. The truth is that a large and sophisticated biological weapons system was developed as an offensive weapon of opportunity in the post-World War II years. From newly declassified American, Canadian, and British documents, and with the cooperation of the Chinese Central Archives in giving the authors the first access by foreigners to relevant classified documents, Endicott and Hagerman have been able to tell the previously hidden story of the extension of the limits of modern war to include the use of medical science, the most morally laden of sciences with respect to the sanctity of human life. They show how the germ warfare program developed collaboratively by Great Britain, Canada, and the United States during the Second World War, together with information gathered from the Japanese at the end of World War II about their biological warfare technology, was incorporated into an ongoing development program in the United States. Startling evidence from both Chinese and American sources is presented to make the case. … Amazon review

    THE US Congress has unveiled a new bill which demands the Pentagon to unveil a potentially devastating biological warfare experiment.

    The bill, which was passed in the House of Representatives, required Pentagon chiefs to disclose whether researches infected insects in the 1970s. The amendment comes after speculation that the Pentagon’s alleged experiment helped cause the spread of Lyme Disease between 1950 and 1975. The bill forces officials to carry out a review into “whether the Department of Defence experimented with ticks and other insects regarding use as a biological weapon between the years of 1950 and 1975.”

    Congressman Chris Smith said: “We need answers and we need them now.” Moreover, if the experiment did take place, the Pentagon must reveal “whether any ticks or insects used in such experiments were released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design.”

    Following the release of Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons, the idea of biological weapons tests has been brought to public attention. President of the Lyme Disease Association, Pat Smith said: “We need to find out: is there anything in this research that was supposedly done that can help us to find information that is germane to patient health and combating the spread of the disease.”
