Outbreaks of Bird Flu in Asia, the Marburg virus in Angola, and now a "mistake" made as a 1957 flu strain is sent to laboratories mostly in the United States have me thinking. Just how easy would it be for this administration via Der Homeland Security Department, or for that matter a terrorist (not counting the ones in the White House) to start a pandemic right here?
Scientists scramble to destroy flu strain
In recent days some diarists have speculated as to whether there will be a terror attack coming up soon here and in what form it might take. I have to state that we are truly on the short end of this stick. For not only must we be concerned with a terrorist getting into this country and setting off an aerosol can of some kind of bio chemical, but I am one American who is absolutely convinced that people in this very administration would have no qualms about setting a flu bug loose themselves in order to get the results they are looking for...which are, total control and power. What do all men with power want? More power. How do they get it? By neutralizing the opposition, or by making them so weakened and afraid as to not be able to put up a fight.
There is no secret to most of us who have been paying attention the last four years, that Bush and his neocon enablers are out to get it all. They are playing for keeps, and Bush's nominations all the way from Gonzales, to Chertoff, to Bolton, prove that very clearly. There is an agenda being put into place here, and as is already known, dissent to this agenda is not met with anything but contempt from these people.
I look at it this way: Any administration that would condone torture and use a tragic event like 9.11 for its own political gain and to start a war is not one which can be trusted. Any administration that shows such contempt for the American people in all of its policies, and such arrogance and flippancy regarding the real problems Americans face cannot be trusted. Any administration that shits on the constitution as this one has cannot be trusted. Any administration that places more importance on their "ideology" than the rule of law cannot be trusted.
Therefore, imagine a pandemic of bird flu or some other strain being unleashed in this country. Imagine the panic and suffering it would cause us. Then imagine the benefits this administration could reap from our suffering by either declaring martial law, a red alert, or by quarantining us indefinitely, which Bush already signed an executive for just this month:
Bush signs quarantine order for bird flu
Also, consider this. Another terrorist attack like a 9.11, would not bode well for Bush politically. In order for them to be able to institute Patriot Act 2 and to see their plans come to full fruition, they need something that will not only neutralize us, but something they can use to elicit sympathy and to draw people over to their side. They also need the type of an attack that they could then easily place the blame for on their next target in order to then be able to exercise their real "nuclear option."
Therefore, I think we need to prepare ourselves for the likelihood of such an attack, whether it be on their part or from a group who manages to get into this country ( or is already here,) because for all the money we supposedly are giving to Homeland Security, we really aren't secure.
I'm also wary of them now looking to close more military bases in this country,(matter of fact it will be more than what has been closed in the last ten years.) What will they be used for? Your guess is as good as mine. But I will state this. I am not a tinfoil hat wearer, a "conspiracy theorist", or someone who gets their kicks from typing diaries like this. So please if you could, spare me those types of comments that only insult my intelligence and the intelligence of others who also take this seriously.
If you look at world events as they are unfolding and the timing of them, and if you have a working knwoledge of what kind of people are really in power in this country, this is not "conspiracy theory", this is realism. I believe it is realism we sorely need at this time in history.
I will then be adding links to this diary about Bird flu, Marbury virus, and other links regarding the spread of these diseases and others, and any developments taking place in this country on this front as the weeks go by. A Patriot is always vigilant of their government, especially one with unrestrained power. For the sake of this country and its people, we cannot be anything less right now. BTW, has anyone ever been apprehended regarding the Anthrax attacks here after 9.11? No? Gee, I wonder why?
