Introduction
Last Fall we saw an anthrax attack on the United States government
that obviously was designed to shut the government down at a very
critical moment in our history as a republic, that is immediately
after September 11 when Congress should have been in session,
making very critical decisions on oversight of the executive
branch of government. This did not occur because of these anthrax
attacks. I am going to work up to what I think really happened
then to the extent anything can be figured out at this point in
time. But to do that I will have to go through some historical
background on the law and policy and science of biological weapons
here in the United States.
Origins of BWC
At least going back to World War II we had an extremely aggressive
offensive biological warfare program. Finally, Nixon and Kissinger
decided to get rid of this offensive biological warfare program on
two grounds. One, it was counterproductive. Militarily these
things cannot be controlled. Two, we had a massive superiority in
nuclear weapons anyway. Biological weapons (Bios) were the poor
man's atom bomb and we wanted to get rid of them to deprive anyone
out there in the third world of a weapon of mass extermination.
Nixon unilaterally ordered the termination of our biowarfare
program for offensive purposes. Nevertheless the CIA continued its
bios program despite the President's order.
Eventually we supported and became a party to the Biological
Weapons Convention of 1972 that prohibits research, development,
testing of biological weapons, agents, components, etc., except
for prophylactic and defensive purposes. And at least after the
treaty came into effect we wound down our offensive biological
warfare program. There was still a Chemical Biological Weapons
(CBW) unit lurking in the Pentagon that had been starved of funds,
wanting to come back to life. I am not sure exactly what the CIA
was doing.
Reagan
Then the Reagan administration came to power. And I point out that
many of the same people in the Reagan administration dealing with
these issues are now back under Bush Jr. The Reagan administration
took the position that we were going to exploit our superior
technology with respect to weapons across the board. Whether it
was nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, biological weapons, space
weapons, it did not matter. And they began to pour massive amounts
of money, hundreds of millions of dollars, into researching and
developing what they said were defensive biological agents.
What had happened in the meantime to the technology after Nixon
was that DNA genetic engineering -- including gene splicing
technologies -- had come to the forefront. And the Reagan
administration decided to exploit it. They engaged in dual-use
research and development of biological agents, that is research
that could be put to both offensive uses and defensive uses at the
same time. The technology is the same.
You need three things to have an operational biological weapon.
First you need an agent. Second you need a delivery device. And
third you need a vaccine to vaccinate your own troops and your own
people. Using a biological agent you are going to send an army in
there, they are going to occupy the territory, they need a
vaccine.
The way the Reagan administration did this was to say that we are
going to go out and investigate every exotic disease you could
possibly imagine for the purpose of developing vaccines to deal
with them despite the fact that there was no real evidence that
anyone else was investigating these things and therefore we fit
within the loophole of the Biological Weapons Convention for
prophylactic purposes. And of course the technology to get the
vaccine, using the DNA gene splicing, is exactly the same
technology to get the agent. Indeed you use the DNA gene splicing
to get the agent first and then you develop the vaccine. After you
have created the agent then you create the vaccine and then you
come up with an aerosol delivery device. Then you have a
bioweapon.
U of I Contracts
We had two of these contracts here on campus. I have read these
contracts. They were clearly biological warfare contracts and the
tip-off on any of these contracts is they call for the development
in the contract of an aerosol delivery device. That is how
biological warfare agents are delivered, by air. All of this type
of research then was being farmed out around the country to large
numbers of life-science researchers. Meanwhile, on other hand, the
Reagan administration was cutting back funding for the National
Science Foundation. So what we had was second and third -rate
scientists who were no longer able to get money in the
life-sciences from the NSF going to the Pentagon in order to get
funding. The Council for Responsible Genetics responded to this by
putting out a Pledge saying the signers would not accept any money
from the Pentagon for any reason.
You can read these biowarfare contracts. It clearly says "military
justification" for this contract. Indeed for the ones here on
campus they were gassing pigs and sheep and rabbits over there at
VetMed. And the contract said that we picked pigs because they
have a circulatory system and respiratory system most akin to
human beings. You can read it there in the contract.
CRG Congressional Briefing
The other activity the Council for Responsible Genetics did was to
have a Congressional Briefing on Capitol Hill on September 13,
1985. They asked me to go in there and explain what was going on
here, what the Reagan people really were up to and how dangerous
this actually was. Notice we were deliberately proliferating this
technology. We were encouraging these scientists to go out and
develop this dual-use technology, we were funding it. It was going
out all over the country and indeed around the world.
So I went to Washington and gave this briefing. I answered
questions, went through the whole thing and said we really need
domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons
Convention to make it a serious felony in order to stop this
research because it is too dangerous. You have proliferation of
biowarfare technology. Even the safety, if you analyze these
contracts, the safety levels were atrocious. You have these dirty
little agents out there that could easily escape into the
environment.
Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act
So then I was requested by CRG to draft the legislation to deal
with this problem and in particular the abuse of DNA genetic
engineering technology for biowarfare purposes. I worked in
conjunction with the CRG scientists and we also worked with the
biotech industry. At that time the biotech industry had no desire
to get into biowarfare technology -- Monsanto and the others. So
they supported our legislation.
What happened? The Reagan administration fought it tooth and nail.
They knew full well that my legislation was designed to stop what
they were doing at the Pentagon. I made it very clear that
research, development, testing of such biowarfare agents would be
punished by life in prison. I do not believe in the death penalty
for any reason so I did not put it in there. But it is in there
now -- life in prison.
What we did not know at that time when the Reagan people were
fighting us tooth and nail is that they had also authorized at
least forty shipments of weapons-specific biological agents to
Iraq from the American Type Culture Collection, which is a big
scientific institute. It has cultures for scientific purposes of
every type of exotic disease in the world. You name it, it is
there. It was clear the Reagan administration was shipping all
this to Iraq knowing full well Iraq was going to develop
biological weapons and use them against Iran, and yet they did it
anyway. Now at the time my legislation was coming through we did
not know this. It came out later. So we got nowhere with the
legislation.
Bush Sr.
Bush Sr. was elected and then the question was whether we should
continue under Bush Sr. or just junk the legislation. I took the
position: Look, the Reagan administration also developed a new
generation of chemical weapons -- binaries. It was hotly contested
and CRG opposed that too. It came down to a tie vote in the Senate
and George Bush as Vice President broke the tie vote in favor of
the binary chemical weapons. However, his mother then publicly
stated she was very disappointed. I said my guess is that really
indicates he is trying to send a message here and that really
indicates where he stands. So I argued we should go forward with
Bush Sr., maybe we will see a change in policy.
To the credit of Bush Sr., the moment they came into power, all
opposition to our legislation was stopped by the Executive Branch.
We were advised, however, that it would help on the Hill if we
would repackage it as a piece of legislation designed to deal with
biological warfare out there in the Third World. That there were
the crazies out there in the Third World who were going to develop
biological weapons and our legislation was designed to deal with
that. So I said fine, I am concerned about the crazies in the
Pentagon and the private sector working with them, but if that is
the advice we get from the Hill then fine. So we redid it, we did
not change the legislation just repackaged the way we presented it
and finally it was adopted unanimously by both Houses of Congress,
signed into law by President Bush Sr., and he to his credit, wound
down this program.
Iraq
However to get back to the biological agents shipped to Iraq. As
you know in the fall of 1990 as we were going to war against Iraq,
Bush and Cheney ordered all U.S. armed forces to take experimental
medical vaccines for anthrax and botulin. I had no idea why but
the reason why was very simple. It came out later. Under Reagan
they had shipped these biological agents to Iraq, Iraq had
weaponized them, and we knew full well our troops would be
vulnerable. So using some of the same technologies, we put these
experimental medical vaccines into our own troops, 500,000 of
them. Today they suffer from the Gulf War Syndrome. The Pentagon
still denies it, but it is a lie.
Indeed, I worked over in Britain on an expose there, The Dirty
War, a documentary film. Finally the British government admitted
there is such a thing as the Gulf War Syndrome. I personally
believe they go back to these vaccines. They were experimental
medical vaccines in violation of the Nuremberg Code on medical
experimentation. I argued this point in the court martial
proceedings of Captain Doctor Yolanda Huett-Vaughn, who was court
martialed in part for refusing to give these vaccines. And later
Senator Jay Rockefeller held hearings in which he also accused
Bush, Cheney and Powell of committing a Nuremberg crime on our own
troops. Today approximately a minimum of 50,000 U.S. military
personnel suffer from what is called the Gulf War Syndrome. The
tip off here is that the French Army rejected the vaccines because
they knew they were experimental. They had been burned once before
in IndoChina. Of course, there were multiple agents that worked
there -- depleted uranium, carcinogenic substances in the air,
etc.
Clinton
Then what happened? For some reason, in the last two years of the
Clinton administration, Clinton decided to get back into this
dual-use biological warfare work. And again began putting hundreds
of millions of dollars into the stuff, to again research and
develop every known exotic disease one could think of, developing
the components that then get turned over to the Pentagon where
they could be assembled into weapons. This is going on as we speak
now.
Finally, the New York Times broke the story. Yes, the United
States government is violating the Biological Weapons Convention.
The CIA operation Bacchus. We are developing an immune resistant
strain of anthrax with DNA genetic engineering. We have developed
super weapons-grade anthrax in quantities and strengths that have
no legitimate defensive purpose at all. We had a bomb factory down
there where we are simulating the production of biological agents.
It is very clear that we are now back into the business of
research and development of biological agents, in clearcut
violation of the Biological Weapons Convention and my statute the
Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 1989.
Bush Jr.
That then is why the Bush Jr. administration repudiated the
verification protocol for the Biological Weapons Convention. These
negotiations had been underway for quite some time. The Convention
has no verification provisions. Finally, this fall all of a sudden
out of nowhere, Bush Jr. repudiated the whole thing and tried to
kill it. Why? Because it is clear we are involved in this type of
work. Whether through the Pentagon, the CIA, or their contractors,
or all of them.
Anthrax Attacks
This brings us to the anthrax attacks on the United States
government. Obviously it was not clear what was going on, at least
to me, until the New York Times published the technology behind
the Daschle letter. The technology behind the Daschle letter, and
later the Leahy letter, was very sophisticated. Trillion spores
per gram. That is super-weapons grade. Second, tied in there was a
special treatment to eliminate electrostatic charges so it would
float in the air. You have to have special equipment, special
treatment, special everything.
The only people who would have the capability to do this would be
individuals who either are currently employed by the Department of
Defense or the CIA doing biowarfare work, or had been employed by
the Department of Defense or the CIA doing biowarfare work. And
would probably have access to one of the government's biowarfare
labs. This stuff is so dangerous. You could not do it unless you
were wearing one of these space suits. And there are only a
handful of these labs in the country.
FBI
That very day I called up a senior official in the FBI who handles
terrorism and counter-terrorism, he knows who I am because of the
work I have done in this field, and discussed this matter with
him. I said: Look there are very few people who have this
capability. I have a list of them under the Reagan administration.
That is where you have to start to look. I went down the list and
said, This person worked with this government lab, that person
worked with that government lab, etc., etc. He said, We are
coordinating our efforts with Ft. Deitrick. I said, Ft. Deitrick
could very well be the problem here. They are one of the few labs
with the capability to do something like this. And you could have
a Timothy McVeigh type situation where someone who was once on the
reservation is now off the reservation. So you need to start
looking at this list of these people who have worked with the
Pentagon. I do not have a list of the CIA people, and my guess is
you are going to find your person. He told me he would pass the
information along to the right people.
This was just before I ran the CRG workshop at Harvard on
Biowarfare the first weekend in November. There my colleague
Jonathan King, Professor of Microbiology at MIT and the head of
their electron-microscope lab, publicly stated the same exact
conclusion independently of me. He had reached the exact same
conclusion that I had. Likewise Dr. Barbara Rosenberg who is now
with the Federation of American Scientists, independent of both
King and me later reached the exact same conclusion: that whoever
did this was working for the United States government now, in the
Pentagon or the CIA or had in the immediate past, and must have
had access to a U.S. biowarfare lab. I was interviewed on FOX, I
was interviewed on BBC World Service and I was interviewed on
Pacific Network in Washington DC.
Cover-Up
What happened? Soon thereafter the FBI authorized the destruction
of the anthrax culture collection at Ames, Iowa. It had been
determined that this was Ames-strain anthrax. The FBI authorized
the destruction of that entire supply. It is obvious it was a
cover-up. If you had access to that supply you could do a genetic
reconstruction of the origins of the Daschle letter. If you had
access to the Ames collection scientists would be able to do a
genetic reconstruction of where the Daschle and Leahy agents
originated.
I believe the FBI knows exactly who was behind this attack and
they have probably concluded that yes, it was someone who was
currently involved in illegal and criminal biological warfare
research by the United States government. Either the Pentagon or
the CIA or one of their private contractors. And for that reason
they are not going to apprehend and they are not going to indict
him because obviously he would spill the beans on the whole thing
and implicate the Pentagon, CIA, whoever is behind this. So this
is where we are today, where the FBI says we are working on it,
but of course, that is ridiculous.
Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act
As for my statute: when it came out that the Reagan administration
had authorized the 40 or so shipments of weapons specific agents
to Iraq, we never intended to impede legitimate scientific
research let alone the biotech industry. So in the drafting of
this I never assumed that American Type Culture Collection would
be complicit in shipping weapons-specific biological agents to
Iraq at the behest of the Reagan administration.
When all this came out my statute was amended by the
Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act to deal with this
problem, that is to deal with legitimate scientific institutes
like American Type Culture somehow getting involved in biological
warfare. It was amended then and is currently being amended again
to deal with the problem of there being so many people out there
who are capable of doing this type of work, or at least work not
as sophisticated as the Daschle and Leahy letters, but certainly
capable of producing a weapon and killing people.
Why don't I take any questions that people might have.
Hijacker and Anthrax in Florida?
The Daschle and Leahy letters were simply to shut the government
down, attack the government. There would be very few people who
would have the scientific knowledge, capability, expertise and
equipment to manufacture the super-grade weapons anthrax behind
the Daschle and Leahy letters. Not this hijacker.
Gulf War Syndrome v. Agent Orange?
The Pentagon still lies about Agent Orange. It took them years to
finally admit that Agent Orange produced cancer and to provide
proper medical treatment to those veterans. They are doing the
exact same thing here. One, it is the question of financial
liability for these service people in making sure they have proper
medical treatment. And two, it gets back to the point that if you
start getting into this how did Iraq get weapons-specific agents
and why and who was shipping it over there? Clearly it was
illegal, it violated the treaty and although not yet the statute.
I do not think the Pentagon wants to get into any of that so the
cover-up goes on. But as I said the big expose in the UK: UK
troops did take the shots, like Americans, the French rejected it,
no real Gulf War Syndrome there. And for years the UK also denied
it. But the documentary called The Dirty War came out and I was a
consultant on it, independent station TV 4, came out all over
Britain and I was also in it. Finally as a result of that
documentary getting front page headlines in Britain, a
spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defense admitted that
there was such a thing as the Gulf War Syndrome.
Now let me make one more point. The danger of the syndrome is in
addition here in the United States it is microbial. In other words
it is being conveyed to next of kin, and also to health care
workers who treat it. So it can and is slowly spreading through
the population. The upside is, there was a private doctor who was
denied government funds -- it is a government cover-up here -- and
nevertheless, with his own resources, investigated this stuff and
concluded that there was a DNA genetically engineered mycoplasm at
work and it could be treated by antibiotics. And he has been
successfully treating some of these people. But as I said the last
figure is about 50,000 Gulf War Vets suffer from the Gulf War
Syndrome which the government still denies exists.
There are multiple symptoms because there was also the use of
depleted uranium as well. And DU is radiological, toxic, and
carcinogenic. The government still denies that too. So you have
everyone getting these shots, and all these vaccines were
experimental, none had been approved by the FDA for this purpose.
It clearly violated the Nuremberg code on medical experimentation.
When Dr. Huett-Vaughn refused to give them, she was
court-martialed.
Bromide tablets for nerve gas attacks were also given out. They
had never been tested either for nerve gas. What these tablets did
was interfere with the firing of nerve synapses. The theory was
that if you got hit with a nerve gas agent, you would take one of
these tablets and it would interfere with shutting you down and
you would be able to resume what you were doing. None of this had
been tested or approved or anything by anyone. Of course in
addition there was all the fire and the oil in the air. Put all
this together and you have a lot of very sick people out there.
The last time I showed The Dirty War here I had Major Doug Rokke
in who teaches on this campus and he handled the DU investigation
for the Pentagon. He came in to talk about it. He can verify
everything I am telling you. He himself suffers from the Gulf War
Syndrome. So you have tens of thousands of Vets out there not
getting proper medical treatment because of the government
cover-up. Indeed, it used to be you could go to a Veteran's
hospital with the symptoms and they were instructed to say that
this was just stress, it's all in your mind.
Iraq Today?
I think Scott Ritter has put this out correctly and also Ray
Zalinskas. Ray was a biowarfare guy, and an independent biowarfare
expert. Part of the insidious nature now of the anthrax
investigation is that the FBI is going out and saying to
microbiologists, All right, we want you involved in the
investigation, we are going to give you something to analyze but
you have got to sign a pledge of secrecy. So they are running
around pledging everyone to secrecy so no one can talk about this
and it is being done deliberately.
But to get back to your question, both Ritter and Zalinskas who
were UNSCOM inspectors have publicly stated their position that
Iraq's biological weapons capability is dismantled. So if we do go
back to war against Iraq, which I certainly hope we do not, I
would not think this is going to be a significant problem. A lot
of the rest of this is just propaganda, just between you and me.
Ritter was just here on campus by the way, saying the same thing.
And Zalinskas after he came back, his UNSCOM service was over, he
said it is all gone. So I would not anticipate that would be a big
problem this time.
But the last time it was. I have reputable sources where generals
say yes, we gave Iraq weapons-specific biological agents and we
knew what we were doing, figuring they were going to use it
against Iran. But then they were prepared to use it against us.
Now when we blew up some of these factories to do this, it spewed
all this stuff in the air and some of our people over there also
inhaled this. So you have the vaccine, you have the particles of
this stuff in the air, you have chemical weapons in the air, you
have depleted uranium. And as I said today 50,000 people suffering
from Gulf War Syndrome and it is slowly moving into the
population. I have not seen any recent studies on it that there
are cases of it being conveyed to immediate family relatives, and
health care workers, which indicates a biological agent at work.
Dr. Huett-Vaughn?
As I said we were the first to raise this issue in the
Huett-Vaughn court martial. She refused to go, she was a medical
doctor, one of the reasons she said: I do not want to give these
vaccines, they are clearly experimental, they violate the
Nuremberg Code on medical experimentation, it would be a war
crime, and it violates the Hippocratic oath. We defended her in
the court martial, she was the highest ranking officer, refused to
go, desertion, five years. It would have been the death penalty if
it was a formally declared war by Congress. In the Article 32
hearings at Ft. Leonard Wood, there was satellite dish there. I
first publicly accused these guys of inflicting a Nuremberg crime
upon our own troops. That did go out. Later Senator Jay
Rockefeller held hearings and at the end of the hearings, he
publicly stated the same thing.
Dr. Huett-Vaughn was convicted after a total kangaroo court
proceeding, taken away in chains, to Leavenworth, in medium
security. We were able to get her out eight months later. Then
they tried to strip her of her medical license. This is a woman
who spent her whole life -- she first worked in the Bronx --
treating poor black people, community medical services. Then she
moved down to Kansas City, and there doing the same thing and also
she was one of the first doctors to treat AIDS patients. You know,
at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic doctors were not even
treating them. They tried to strip her of her medical license. I
was not involved in that one but she is still practicing medicine
in Kansas City. But at the formal court martial itself she was
stripped of all of the witnesses but me and then I was shut down.
Loophole in BWC?
Two things. My legislation was intended to close that loophole.
That is why I put life imprisonment in there. We publicized it to
scare the hell out of any life science researcher that was going
to get involved in this type of stuff. Second, internationally,
the loophole was to be closed by means of the verification
protocol. So that if a government said we are just doing
legitimate defensive prophylactic research, you would have
qualified experts able to come into that lab, and look at
precisely what was going on. That is why Bush Jr. just rejected it
in Geneva.
Bios v. Gas in WWI?
On the gas, in 1925 the Geneva Gas Protocol prohibited any use of
any chemical weapons except in retaliation. By the way biological
weapons too were added. That was generally observed in the
European theater in the Second World War. The Nazis did not resort
to it, we did develop anthrax, and the British did too. Indeed, a
lot of our munitions are still left over here in Terre Haute,
Indiana. Fortunately, they are downwind from us. And a lot of what
was left over from World War II is still here. They do not know
how to get rid of it. They are saying we are going to have a
super-incinerator and we are going to burn it and again if you are
living downwind, do not worry about it, that will take care of it.
But you will have to burn everything and completely incinerate it
for it to be safe. They do not know what to do with all this.
So the problem with the Biological Weapons Convention in 1972 then
came with the technology thereafter -- the DNA genetic engineering
technology that would give you the capability to develop a brand
new agent using DNA genetic engineering as well as the vaccine
because the technology is the same. Indeed, if you look at what
they are doing now they will say: Oh yes there are all these
exotic diseases out there and we have to develop vaccines against
them. But if you look at how that happens, of course they develop
the offensive agent and then they develop the vaccine and then all
you would need is the aerosolization of the product and you have a
weapon. We are doing this now.
The Pentagon just laid out a contract to Battelle to develop
anthrax that will be resistant to any type of treatment. Right now
fortunately what we are dealing with in Washington can be treated
by conventional antibiotics. What we are now developing by the
government at Battelle, it is a matter of public record, you can
read about it in the Wall Street Journal, anthrax that would be
antibiotic resistant.
This then led to the Statement that we released at the Council of
Responsible Genetics Workshop at Harvard that was signed by
Professor King, Dr. Susan Wright of the University of Michigan,
the CRG Executive Director Dr. Martin Teitel and myself opposing
this. And we are starting a campaign to try to stop this type of
work. There is another organization called the Sunshine Institute
that also works against this type of research. And the Federation
of American Scientists, Dr. Rosenberg runs that program for them.
So this is very dangerous stuff. You have proliferation of
technology and weapons capability that can be turned against the
American people and the American government.
Third World v. Pentagon and CIA?
The real problem has always been what about the Pentagon and the
CIA? And so far Congress has not been prepared to reign them in
and to stop this very dangerous, lethal research. It is still
going on as we speak today. In my opinion that is still the real
problem and I believe that type of work is what is behind this
recent anthrax attack on our government. It is not some crazy
people in the third world, it was far too sophisticated for that.
This was not the type of stuff you could put together in a
university lab. That is why I do not believe the guys who hijacked
the airplanes, had anything at all to do with it. The only people
who had that capability, all worked for the government or have
worked for the government in these biowarfare programs.
Federal Regulations?
They are dealing with the problem that the movement of these
agents had been unregulated for the most part. As you know there
is federal legislation on hazardous materials but this is
super-hazardous and it needs very stringent regulation on all
these agents for scientific purposes. Scientists say You cannot
interfere with what we are doing. I never intended to interfere
with legitimate science. But legitimate science can be perverted.
So there will have to be more regulation not to stop the science
but to regulate where is this agent and what is being done with
this agent? And even if we hear from a legitimate lab and we send
an agent out to the lab, where is the guarantee that someone out
there at that scientific research institute is not going to turn
this into weapons purposes? This is the problem they have to deal
with now. It is a very big problem.
But we have to distinguish that from the anthrax attack on the
government. Clearly this was a deliberate attack designed to shut
down Congress, the House and the Senate, which they pretty much
did, at a critical time. And it was by people affiliated with
Pentagon, CIA. I do not believe that at all was any coincidence.
Beyond that I cannot say, I can only go with the facts in the
public record. And as I said, unfortunately, many of the
microbiologists who have been given jobs to do by the FBI have now
been sworn to secrecy. And the Daschle and the Leahy letters are
all at Ft. Deitrick. Which is like putting the foxes in charge of
the chicken coop.
Thank you.
