I have now posted 3 articles (each in new threads) on this topic. One is a general analysis of the realtionship of Borrelia to biowarfare; another concerns a book called "Japan's Secret Weapon" written during WW2, and the last is a "FAQ" on the topic which addresses such issues as whether or not we should be afraid to talk about this topic publicly, and whether the finding of Lyme in the Iceman negates the view that modern Lyme Disease is a bioweapon (it doesn't).

Another extremely important resource on the issues of Project Paperclip and Plum Island is the book "Lab 257" by Michael C. Carroll.

One of the many important points raised by Margaret is the fact that there are a lot of people out there discussing and writing about the links between Lyme and biowarfare in an irresponsible manner, linking the topic with all kinds of other themes for which there is no evidence, and some of which are downright absurd (aliens, zombies or giant lizards controlling the earth etc..)

I believe that some of this activity has been deliberately encouraged or even initiated by the US Dept of Defense and its Allies, as if they can make the topic of the Borrelia-biological warfare link appear crazy (and by extension, those who talk about it), then they can effectively marginalise it.

An analogy would be what happened decades ago when the U2 was developed in the US. This was a top secret aircraft at the time, with stealth abilities previously unknown. Because some local people observed some odd phenomena, and it was difficult to quell the rumours that "something was going on" in the area where the aircraft were being tested, the US government encouraged the formation of a huge mythology to the effect that alien spacecraft had been sighted.

This served the dual purpose of making the Soviets think that nothing was going on except the delusions of a few crazy Americans, and channelling the curiosity of those who were sure they had witnessed strange things, into a "safe" direction.

It's therefore truly essential that when discussing this topic, we try to be as factual and accurate as possible.

I believe that although the corrupt involvement of the insurance corporations, vaccine and pharmaceutical industries etc has had a role in the Denial of chronic Lyme, nevertheless the single most important factor in the Denial has been the fact that Borrelia is a militarily sensitive, biological warfare issue. (And has been since at least the WW2 era - see my post today re the book "Japan's Secret Weapon" by Barclay Newman, written in the 1940s.)

I believe that by gathering the evidence re the Lyme - biowarfare link and presenting it in a sober, factual manner free of "conspiracy theories", we can eventually achieve an expose of this disgraceful coverup and bring it to an end, just as CDC's shameful Tuskegee project was brought to an end.

Yes I agree. We need to gather evidence while it's still there, but in a responsible, scientific manner.

The videos sound really interesting, and I'm going to check out some of the videos and links.

I'm also really interested in the (above) post about the financial implications of Lyme.

I'm glad so many of you are interested in this topic. The more people find out about it, the more likely the info. will be exposed (eventually).

A few days ago USA Today published the results of an investigation into the shocking negligence at the USA's BSL3 and BSL4 biowar labs (ie "max security". These are the labs housing the most dangerous microbes on earth, such as avian flu, anthrax Ebola.....and Lyme Disease.)

The report describes how a researcher was accidentally exposed to "recombinant" Lyme borrelia twice in one week (see below).

I strongly advise everyone here who understands the reality of chronic Lyme to write in a comment in response to the USA Today article. Please highlight the fact that the CDC and other public health agencies are insisting Lyme is "easily cured " with short courses of antibiotics, yet at the same time work on Lyme such as this is secretly being carried out in max-containment biowarfare labs..and not contained. Dr Burgdorfer suffered with chronic Lyme for years as a result of a lab accident.

"Scientist botches experiments twice in two weeks

A scientist at Texas A&M in College Station-Byron stuck himself with a needle while injecting a mouse that was previously infected with a recombinant strain of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, in February 2014. (Photo: Hemera Technologies, Getty Images)

The risk was low, but the researcher was referred to a physician and started post-exposure prophylaxis and a Tdap vaccination.

The same researcher was bitten through a glove by a mouse infected with B. burgdorferi just a week later. He had to go back for another health evaluation while still completing the round of antibiotics from the first incident.

Both incidents were reported to the National Institutes of Health.

Lane Stephenson, the university's director of news and information services, declined to answer questions about the lab incidents.

"Regarding other aspects of your inquiry, we think the information provided in response to your earlier FOI request is sufficient," Stephenson said in an email.
