Coincidence?

May 31st, 2007 - 6:57 pm

I’m sure the vast majority of people out there who read, watch or listen to any news at all have heard about the guy with drug-resistant TB who traveled the world before panicking about his health, because that story has been just about everywhere today. My first thought when I heard it on the news earlier was “Who the hell doesn’t immediately start caring more about their health and a little less about their wedding and honeymoon when informed they have any kind of TB?” Then I read this story, and the first sentence raised a red flag so large it blinded me.

The honeymooner quarantined with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis was identified Thursday as a 31-year-old personal injury lawyer whose new father-in-law is a CDC microbiologist specializing in the spread of TB.

There are some coincidences that just can’t be coincidental. What are the odds that this guy’s new father-in-law just happens to be a researcher for the CDC? And then what are the odds his specialization is in the spread of TB? It just leaves one of those “there’s more to this story we will never know” tastes in my mouth. Just a bit too coincidental.

    “There are some coincidences that just can’t be coincidental.”

    How about the Army, FBI and CDC still haven’t found who was behind the anthrax killings more than five years ago? Could it be because they’re taking direction from the same guy who is in charge of finding Osama?

    We spend more time and money covering up incompetence than it would cost to eliminate it.

    Yeah, that anthrax thing sure did drop of the radar even faster than Osama did. I figure they aren’t bothering to look anymore because they know, but they just don’t want to tell us about it. Cover ups, indeed.

    I doubt we really want to know the full extent of the incompetence. The little bits we do learn about is stressful enough to deal with.

    Would The U.S. Government Experiment On Its Soldiers Or Civilians?

    by Donald S. McAlvaney, Editor,
    McAlvaney Intelligence Advisor (MIA),
    August 1996

    “Unfortunately, the U.S. government and military have experimented on U.S. soldiers and civilians without their informed consent or knowledge on a number of occasions since 1945 and when caught or exposed, have gone into elaborate cover-up operations.”

    1. AGENT ORANGE - is perhaps the best known example of the U.S. military injuring or infecting its troops and then going into an elaborate cover-up operation which spanned over 20 years.

    [ED. NOTE: So what’s the point of these articles on the CIA-US Army illegal LSD/mind control experiments on unsuspecting military personnel and civilians? It is that if they secretly and illegally experimented on soldiers and civilians in the past, with total disregard for their lives, they might do it again - - as in the Desert Storm War.

    These are excerpts from http://lucentsucks.com/Government-Experiment.html. The page covers several tid bits about cover ups of past infractions.

    I have no doubt governments everywhere would, could, and probably do experiment on anyone they want to so long as they think they can get away with it. Doesn’t require any paranoia at all to believe that, because as noted, they have done it before.

    There is also the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment in the 1930s where the treatment was withheld in order to examine the progression of the disease in 399 males (of African-American decent).
