"Hoof and Mouth Born of the West Nile Virus?"

Robert Meade "Bobby" "Israel" Deaf Messenger | 23.03.2001 01:37

In light of the current animal burning scenario in the United Kingdom and the extremely contagious nature of the disease; maybe you might be interested in determining if Hoof and Mouth is a manmade disaster by drawing from my experience with the West Nile Virus.

I am going to provide you with excerpts from two published accounts of my perceived experiences with the West Nile Virus, so that you can go investigate if something similar is afoot with the Hoof and Mouth scenario. In "Head for the Hills?" (10/3/00) I wrote: "When I saw a dying bat fall from an aborted takeoff on August 29th, it was probably a sign of the likelihood of the land transmission of the West Nile Virus. The bat tucked its wings in while lying on its side before I left to summon the manager of an adjacent restaurant. The manager was slow to respond; thus I returned to find that the bat had probably walked away. Since a bat walks on two legs, I can imagine the response of passing Ithacans who saw it: "Oh! Somebody's pet tasmanian devil! How cute!" Subsequent attempts to get authorities to check nearby ivy patches for the bat yielded no results. I had contacted the building management, the police, the SPCA, the Dept. of Orinthology, the Health Dept., and the Dept. of Environmental Conservation. Although flea transmission would be simple to prove, it has not been done; and the focus is on birds falling from the sky and mosquitoes, probably so they can continue to publicize it as an avian disease. Since the belated proof of flea and land transmission will probably result in people getting rid of their dogs and cats, one has to question the merit of this approach. Furthermore if land transmission is a reality, the published advice to bag dead birds and throw them in the trash would result in rats eating them, further promoting the spread of the virus." This was followed by "And the Beat Goes On!" on 11/1/00 where I wrote: "My Daddy said that besides being suppressed in this country, my last article, "Head for the Hills?" resulted in Israel starting a war in the Middle East. That is if you consider the shooting of Palestinians who have been throwing rocks for years to be a war. Thus the persecuted people myth lives on..... If the Israelis are trying to cover up their role in promoting the West Nile Virus, which is destined to kill the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; let the Palestinians work for an appropriate scientific analysis of this disease. Instead of dwelling on issues like bird to bird transmission, cage a virus-infected flea-ridden bat with a healthy bat to prove flea and land transmission. After I reported that crows in this area were abnormally flicking their tails and that they had probably been trapped, had a tail feather pulled, and been injected on the site; the West Nile Virus disappeared from the news. Even if it turns out that an injected virus was dead, the intentions are clear; and the motives of the scientific community in failing to analyze this virus are also evident." Maybe the West Nile Virus scenario has led to the current Hoof and Mouth scenario; thus the beasts of the field and the birds of the air need your help in exposing any concealed motives in promoting these diseases. As for the smoke arising from the burning animals, please check and see if the makeshift air filter described in "Modus Operandi of Lawlessness - Update" 6:00 PM 2/22/01 www.indymedia.org. does any good. Thank you very much for your time. Respectfully yours, Robert Meade "Bobby" "Israel" Deaf Messenger

You can soon tell why a "crisis" was started by the measured response it provokes. In the case of F&M...while vaccination seems the logical approach, what is being advocated is electronic tagging of ALL livestock, so they can be scanned like a supermarket product. But be warned, animals first, humans next. They are already tagging 'anti-social' children, to monitor (and influence) their behaviour and actions!

Who are the sheep?

Farmer's in Anglesey ordered to exterminate 40,000 healthy animals are willing to comply...why? The entire farming industry is being wiped out without so much as an objection. Converge on the Capital, all farmers, and dump your dead, decaying livestock carcasses on Tony Blair's doorstep. See how he likes the stench he's created.

GOV Officials on take from Monsanto?

Please read my article in the 3/24 issue of UK Indymedia (Hoof and Mouth: Bush, Monsanto and Bioterrorism).
I cannot help but wonder if the "overkill" of animals in the U.K. is part of the overall plan by Monsanto to bring cattle farmers to their knees, thus forcing the import of U.S. products laced with bovine growth hormone (BGH). Monsanto offered $2 million to Canadian officials in 1994 to speed through BGH approval (Canada, thank God, stood firm). Now, with the stakes much higher (Monsanto is in MAJOR financial trouble), I imagine British officials would be offered a great deal more than $2 million for their "cooperation." I think the U.K. people should demand a thorough and REAL investigation of this whole thing--before they become unwilling subjects of the Bush regime.
