Another reason for world to hate the us f.. of A..

Even former USSR never tried that, but Americans..?? Agent orange is the proof (in Vietnam wars)..

How murderous are Americans..??..?? god knows..

Along with the other enormities presently perpetrated in the name of the War on Drugs, the United States is now actively preparing to deploy biological weapons. The weapons consist of plant pathogens designed to attack coca, cannabis and opium poppy crops.

Research into the project has involved the resurrection of biological agents developed long ago at Fort Detrick, Maryland, center for the US biowar program closed down by President Nixon in 1969. Deep-frozen at the time of the program's termination, they are now being thawed out and readied for assault on producer countries in the third world. Also involved are veterans of the Soviet biological warfare effort, now being funded by the US through the connivance of an obscure UN agency, employed for this purpose in order to shield the US from well-deserved charges of violating the internationally negotiated biological weapons convention.

The work is proceeding despite well attested evidence that the weapons, if deployed, will have profound and disastrous impact on the ecologies of the countries in which they are used. Furthermore, the USDA is now researching the use of genetic modification to enhance the potency of these bio-weapons. The principal agents under development are microbial pathogens.
At the Institute for Genetics in Kazakhstan, former Soviet biowarriors are being financed by the US and Britain to test mycoherbicides-fungi, specifically Pleospora - to kill opium poppies and marijuana plants. In the Andes and western Amazon, the US is planning the testing and widespread application of fusarium oxysporum, an anti-coca fungus. The FY 2000 budget contains at least $ 23 million for these programs, although further appropriations are almost certainly buried in covert military and intelligence budgets.

The prospect of being on the receiving end of a biological attack is not alluring to countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Colombia. The Peruvian government has already banned the testing and or deployment of the fungi. The Colombian government is similarly queasy, but has been sharply admonished by the project's supporters in the US Congress that if Colombia wants its $ 1.8 billion aid package, it had better take the fungi too.

Last March, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Benjamin Gilman, R-N.Y., added an amendment to the Colombian aid bill requiring President Clinton to certify that the Colombian government "has agreed to and is implementing a strategy to eliminate Colombia's total coca and opium poppy production" using, among other means, "tested, environmentally safe mycoherbicides." The amendment is still in the bill (which is still stalled in the senate) despite a submission by Colombian scientists to the Colombian Ombudsman for the Environment that the use of mycoherbicide agents in Colombia represents "a great danger both for Colombian humans as well as for the Colombian environment and biodiversity".
It is easy to see why the Colombians are worried. The absolute requirement of this sort of weapon is that it should be "host specific", ie that it should attack only the intended victim and nothing else. According to Ed Hammond of the Sunshine Project, which has researched and publicized this enormity, tests conducted by USDA-contracted researchers in 1994 and 1995 using the favored strain of the fungus fusarium oxysporum-EN4-resulted in

By The Iconoclast, Dissociated Press

Initially, the Bush administration said that it had no warning that jet airplanes could be used as missiles to attack buildings in the United States. Then, CIA and FBI documents came to light indicating that they had investigated this possibility, and the Bush administration was forced to back off on this assertion of ignorance. Even more disturbing is the fact that after the first plane was hijacked and deviated from its prescribed course, more than an hour and a half transpired with no fighter jets being dispatched. As a comparison, after the jet carrying golfer Payne Stewart flew off course, the response time for F-16 fighters was only 21 minutes. Only after two jets had crashed into the World Trade Center and another one was headed toward the Pentagon were F-16s sent up to intercept and then from Langley Air Force Base, which is 130 miles from the Pentagon, rather than from Andrews Air Force Base, less than ten miles from the Pentagon. Why? These are just a couple of the discrepancies in the official story of what happened on 9-11.

If the Bush administration allowed 9-11 to happen, at least three things need to be analyzed. What would the motivations be, is there a history of the US government planning or actually doing similar things and could such a conspiracy be covered up?

The events of September 11, 2001 were extremely fortuitous for the reactionary agenda of President George W. Bush. I have made a list of the potential advantages.

1. 9-11 provided a perfect excuse for a war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, which had already been planned for October 2001 because of the refusal of the Taliban to allow the Unocal gas pipeline from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean. The numerous meetings between US representatives and the Taliban are described in a book called Bin Laden-the Forbidden Truth by French intelligence analysts Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie.

2. It provided an alibi to build military bases in Central Asia to control the enormous oil and gas reserves present there. Also, it allowed the introduction of American troops and military advisors into numerous countries to maintain "stability." "Stability" is a media code word meaning a favorable investment climate for corporations-no unions, no taxes, no environmental restrictions, a repressive police and military to put down popular uprisings, a puppet government, etc.

3. Anticapitalist revolutionaries like the FARC in Colombia, the Zapatistas in Chiapas, the Maoists in Nepal and the New People's Army in the Philippines could now be more convincingly labeled terrorists and destroyed.

4. Anticapitalist protesters like those at the demonstrations in Seattle and Genoa could conceivably be called terrorists at future demonstrations (particularly if there were violent acts by agent-provocateurs) and imprisoned under new laws that remove all their civil liberties.

5. Huge tax breaks for the rich and an increase of nearly 100 billion dollars in the military budget could easily be pushed through a very patriotic US Congress. In addition, Star Wars could be funded completely. Contrary to popular opinion, Star Wars is an offensive system, involving lasers and particle beam weapons on orbiting satellites.

6. The increase in military spending would act as a stimulus to an economy in recession and a stock market in free fall. Military contracts are a guaranteed market for capitalists, highly profitable and independent of consumer demand.

7. US citizens possible anger over billions more going to the Pentagon while hospitals and libraries close, students lack textbooks in schools, the infrastructure crumbles, etc. could be diminished by continuing the terrorist alarms.

8. The risk of increasing dissent over the recession, corporate scandals and unending war could be reduced by a flag-waving fervor and United We Stand slogans.

What would you change from the current political state? This is for all of you armchair presidents out there. Which is pretty much everyone lol. I would especially like to hear primegen's and branh's responses. But I certainly want everyone to reply to th

I always liked that ol' bulldog but could never put my finger on the reason why, until now.

is it just me , or does anyone else find it amazing that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of washington And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they can no

Who's the stupid..??



While our media is filled with stories on the Bush administration and Iran, they almost invariably focus on the Iranian nuclear program (or European negotiations and U.S. non-negotiations about the same). You could

Lmao?.

Why am I not surprised on this..??

Question:
How long Americans are willing to support this idiot president (commander in thief) and the co..??
