Why is a "hard-to-catch, easy-to-cure" disease like Lyme listed in the Bioterrorism Resource Manual published by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists in 2002?
Could it be because it's a serious, chronic, hard-to-detect neurologically-incapacitating nightmare of a disease in reality?

One that was modified to be that way in a lab.
Things that make you go hmmm.

Lyme information has been denied by the government in Canada on the basis of national security .
I read this on their lyme forum .

Is this manual available to the public? I'd sure like to see it.

Me too...how did you find this? Where can we pull it to read it?

A number of ticks in the United States spread pathogens that the CDC considers potential bioterrorism weapons. The family to which I. scapularis belongs, Ixodidae, carries many of the microbes included on the CDC's Select Biological Agents and Toxins list. Among the diseases caused worldwide by these organisms are Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and tick-borne encephalitic diseases.

As a result of our efforts, federal, state, and local communities are improving their public health capacities to respond to these types of emergencies. For many of us in public health, developing plans and capacities to respond to acts of bioterrorism is an extension of our long-standing roles and responsibilities. These are stated in the CDC Mission Statement: to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability, and the Bioterrorism Mission: to lead the public health effort in enhancing readiness to detect and respond to bioterrorism. CDC�s infectious diseases control efforts are summarized below: � Initially formed to address malaria control in 1946; � Established the Epidemic Intelligence Service in 1951; � Participated in global smallpox eradication and other immunization programs; � Estimated 800�1,000+ field investigations/year since late 1990s; � New diseases: Legionnaire�s Disease, toxic shock syndrome, Lyme disease, HIV, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, West Nile, etc. � Today: focus on emerging infections and bioterrorism.

Brucellosis was also considered for bioterrorism years ago...I tested positive to this twice in 09.
One doctor wouldn't even take test ,so impossible, Pulm. doc did and 3 days later said yes..
So out then tried treating that ,then decided not it. guess what ,they have some kinda family to to spirochetes.
Because of this medical zig -zag I was on rifampin or zith or Doxy for a long while working on it. That's when I knew on ABX live, off who knows. And told all the other slams everyone here has gone through.
Once it was a 6 week treatment for latent TB, no test to prove, and then abruptly told to stop at 4 1/2 weeks.

Look no farther then Nazi, Erich Traub whom the U.S. brought over to work at Plum Island Bio-warfare in early 1950's. Traub was into biological weapons � ticks and mosquitoes.
As we know the first reported case was in Lyme, Connecticut early 70's which is located just over the water from Plum Island.
Former Governor Jessie Ventura did a story on his show Conspiracy Theory last fall 2010. You can find it on You Tube.
But this news has been around awhile about Eric Traub just do a Google search with his name and LD.
There's a theory that they mixed mycoplasma and brucellosis with it. I've seen patents online for such. We don't have any smoking gun.

I saw that show with Jessie Ventura, v ery interesting, and they want to move the biowarfare lab(whatever it's called) to Kansas!!

One of the 1st books written In 1944. Just after Pearl Harbor. Also they and I will leave it as they... They grow the bacteria With Certain Abx as to make it harder to treat using Abx.
It can be and is sprayed into certain air space ie cities. And then they wait to see how it affects us yes us. The USA. They The CDC are aware and has made it so difficult to dx us. Again power and control.
Even the Drs know we have it. And to get a correct dx the CDC and Gov Military can not learn just exactly how many complications and drugs and more drugs and Psych drugs for our depression from all the unaswered reasons for our sporadic and consistent pain. And by then we all need a Head Shrink cuz we,, well they say we are loopy lulu. And here is where Our determination goes into overdrive. Ya they say it's all in our head. No truer words could exPlain just how fast Lyme goes Neuro.
So we are given Psych drugs like M&Ms when our drug of choice is Abx. And we leave their office more ****ed off and more confused... What is wrong with these Drs? Can they not see our health goes down hill right in front of them. Only to be told im a hypochondriac.
Also there was a study done in 1951 you can find most of this on youtube The germwar is carefully monitored because if they used a more invasive bacteria and too many die. There goes their research.
Yes I do feel a whole lot better by calling it every thing itt not.

There's also the issue of the dead microbiologists...
HI Al, do you have the particular post you read on a Canadian Lyme forum?
I'd be interested to see it - thanks.
To the person who said "there's no smoking gun":-
To my mind, the wealth of evidence demonstrating that Lyme is studied in BSL-4 (maximum security biocontainment) labs, and the totally disproportional number of leading members of the Denialist camp who "just happen" to be biowarfare researchers constitutes a smoking gun.
I have written articles about these issues which are here:

Posted by mom2kids (Member # 31972) on :
Just to clarify, Eight Legs Bad, Lyme is "studied" in a BSL-4 lab and a BSL-5 lab is where deadly, incurable diseases like Ebola and Bubonic Plague are "studied". So the government considers Lyme only one step down from these almost instant killers...
I feel more and more reassured everyday that our government is working so hard to protect us (said dripping in sarcasm...).

Eight legs, I read one of your articles and you convinced me. If there was ever doubt, there is none now. I just don't know if it was intentionally released by anyone other than a madman.
Scary. I have been so isolated, trying to take care of this on my own, telling the GP what to give me. Now I realize how futile that has been. If this is a bioweapon, I may never recover.

There is a book on this you can get at the library or buy on Amazon called "Lab 257: Plum Island". About half of the book is footnotes to document and prove what the book says. Read it and weep.

On the contrary, the fact that Lyme is studied for its use as biological weapon may be a reason for HOPE for the present victims rather than despair.
Ken Alibek, who defected from his top position in the Soviet biowar industry to work in the US, has said that the US never worked with agents for which they lacked either a CURE or a prevention such as a vaccine.
It's very possible there is a cure out there for all - but first we need a public expose of the cover-up.
At the very least, an end to the coverup would allow honest civilian researchers to work without fear of persecution to find effective cures. Further, all relevant information about the disease could then be made known to those who wish to find a cure, rather than forcing them to work with incomplete or inaccurate information, and possibly misleading DNA sequences from EIS researchers who will put a MILITARY agenda before the public's health every time.
There is NO national security issue here. They are protecting NO ONE with this coverup. Google scientist Ali Karami of Teheran and you will see how they are fooling no one but our own civilian doctors and the public.

Research the history of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Rockefeller Institute.
You'll find a rabbitt (ala Alice and Wonderland) of connections from the creation of the AMA amd ADA, direct and long-term influence on the medical education and public education systems over the past century. Not to mention all the sordid activities related to funding and fueling both sides of the conflict in WWII (where did Erich Traub enjoy a fellowship prior to WWII? - the Rockefeller Institute).
If you told me 2 years ago that I would come to the conspirscy-related conclusions that seem so obvious to me now, I'd have laughed it off.
It's not a pleasant story, but we have to be willing to look at the dark. It only thrives when we refuse to look at it...drawn into the light it loses all power.
If a system produces the same result over and over, eventually one can conclude it is producing the result it was designed to.
I'd say 98%+ of our medical professionals are good and decent people. But our medical/pharmacologicl "healthcare" system is producing exactly what it's designed to: chronically ill, impaired and dependent, and very profitable patients. Just examine the absolute avalanche of new and exploding illnesses "emerging" over the last 50 years.
Anyway...just my opinion. The heartening news is it seems that more and more are waking up to this game. Your own research may or may not bring you to a similar place.
