"U.S. Wages Biological Warfare In 2005"

Though we occupy different regions, with distinct cultures and various ideas concerning politics and nationalism, in fact, we are all children of the Earth, sharing limited space, resources and time on one planet. In truth, the only really significant boundary there is on our tiny island in space, are the borders we cross in 'time.' We cannot go back to yesterday.

This is what makes the practice of biological warfare so incredibly dangerous. Once invasive organisms have been released, there is no going back to the way things were before. To unleash permanent and unpredictable disruption against biological systems has always been a crime of arrogance against the Natural Order, a poorly understood system of synergistic mysteries and uncompromising consequences.

The following documents describe biological attacks presently being prepared by the U.S. government, demonstrating a consistent disregard for primarily significant, "self-evident" laws, which determine the future quality of life on this planet. There is perhaps no better example of the extreme to which the functional integrity of human judgment and rational thought are being compromised, and disrespect for nature capitalized on, than the obvious perversions of biological terrorism being self-inflicted in mankind's unwinnable civil war within the Web of Life.

The following is excerpted from "The Re-emergence of the Biological War on Drugs"
The Transnational Institute

"In 2000, the U.S. Congress recommended use of the Fusarium oxysporum fungus as a biological control agent for eradicating coca crops in Colombia. At the time, the news that the United States was seriously considering use of biological agents in the war on drugs lead to a strong opposition movement in Colombia and the rest of the world. Not only would the use of this fungus represent a potential violation of the global prohibition on biological weapons, such biological agents are also hazardous to the environment and could have unforeseen consequences for agriculture and the vegetation in various ecosystems."

"...According to documents revealed recently in various media, the United States has renewed its pressure on the Colombian government to implement the use of mycoherbicides. In October 2003, the U.S. State Department's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs asked the Colombian government to resume promotion of research and development involving the use of mycoherbicides on poppy and coca crops.

"Research was initiated on this project [in1999] at the request of Congress and the State Department to identify new biologically based methods of controlling marijuana."

"University of California scientists are now working jointly on this project with ARS personnel...to identify, collect and test natural enemies of the [Cannabis] plant in each of these countries. UC Davis and ARS scientists...expect ... that Cannabis testing can begin as soon as plant and insect materials are available. This work is expected to allow the testing and selection of new effective and safe biological control agents to aid in the management of Cannabis sativa in the United States."

"Year 2005 - We also plan to move the highest priority natural enemies into US quarantine facilities to verify overseas assessments and to further test these agents against key crop and native plants."
