The 'spray treatment' is the threat to health -
not the non-existent 'epidemic' of West Nile Virus

June 18-03. Because the PR is going to heat up on West Nile Virus, I’m reprinting below an article I wrote on the subject last August 8th. Note that the cure is what causes the problem. Also note that as of last August, the government in Ontario (Toronto is in Ontario) had earmarked major money for a toxic chemical spraying. There certainly may now be people in that area who think they have SARS, who have actually suffered from the spraying. AUGUST 8.

The West Nile Virus flopped badly in NYC when it opened there in 1999. As I wrote at the time, it killed fewer people than toasters falling out of apartment windows. But now it's back. They're saying five people have died in Louisiana. They're saying they have a possible case in Florida. Another possible in the state of Washington, and one definite case in Illinois. Of lesser value in the PR war to promote the West Nile Virus (WNV) is the fact that: the two people in Washington and Illinois have already recovered after only mild symptoms. WNV is not passed from human to human. Mosquitoes spread it. The Centers for Disease Control report about 100 cases this year, in the whole US. Not what you'd call a raging plague. And medical authorities admit that people with healthy immune systems are bothered by WNV like they're bothered by a light case of the flu. And that's the worst case scenario for healthy people. So why are WNV stories making healdines these days? Let's start with money. Louisiana Governor Mike Foster has actually declared a state of emergency, a necessary legal pre-condition for applying for federal dollars ""to fight the virus."" And that fight involves ground and aerial spraying programs to kill the mosquitoes, which takes us right into poisoning the population. Exactly what happened in NYC and environs in 1999-2000. Malathion, the pesticide of choice at the time, was originally developed from Nazi nerve gas research. For several years in the 1990s, I carefully followed the California malathion battle, as areas of the state were periodically drenched to destroy the dreaded medfly. The medfly attacks fruit crops. Well, the truth is, the spraying programs in California have never wiped out the flies--and when state officials AREN'T spraying, the crops survive. I interviewed several dedicated scientists who had accumulated much information to show that malathion was a VERY unhealthy chemical. By the way, in Ontario, Canada, the government is about to spend $9 million to stop WNV. Much of that money will be used for chemical spraying. It's also interesting to note that spraying actually increases the number of mosquitoes in the long run. (See Journal of the American Mosquito Control Assoc, December 1997) Three people out of the seven supposed WNV fatalities in NYC in 1999-2000 turned out to be receiving immunosuppressive medical drugs for cancer at the time. File that factoid under, ""I swear they didn't die from the toxic chemo, it was the mosquito!"" On the back end, there is a great deal of money to be made from the development of a vaccine against WNV, especially when news stories are scaring the population with tales of killer mosquitoes everywhere.

So who's raking in that cash? A company called OroVax. It has a contract to produce vaccine. It's also involved in manufacturing smallpox vaccine--which kills all sorts of people who already have weakened immune systems. ` What do we know about OroVax? Well, in the spring of 1996, long before anyone ever heard of WNV, the US Dept. of Defense granted a license to this company to develop (create) ""infectious DNA clones of Japanese Encephalitis Virus."" Why is this relevant? Because West Nile Virus happens to be a variation of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus. Is there a chance that OroVax made the very virus it is now developing a vaccine to combat?

Is the Pope Catholic? A man named Thomas Monath, a former government bio-warfare researcher, is the vice-president of OroVax. Monath was right there in NYC from the beginning of the 1999 WNV ""outbreak,"" advising the mayor, pumping up the dangers of the dreaded mosquitoes. Monath told Newsday (9/25/99) that the discovery of WNV was ""a bombshell...the biggest arbovirus story of the last 50 years."" Nice PR, Tom. Was the WNV actually discovered in 1999? No. Newsday (9/29/99) reported that, for a long time, the virus had been shipped to, stored in, and researched at labs like Rockefeller University, which is right in the middle in Manhattan. That research began in...the 1950s. So, the virus could have actually gotten loose in NYC out of the Rockefeller supplies? We can take this whole story out to another level. Try to find the names of those seven people who supposedly died of WNV is NYC in 1999-2000. Good luck. How do we, in fact, know that WNV was even isolated in those people? How do we know that what was then, and is now, being called WNV is actually a virus? Read my first article on the WIRE, dated August 1. It's about Hepatitis C and the virus that has never been found.

Believe me, researchers can spend years in labs tinkering with viruses they have never known. All they need is a ""set of criteria"" which allows them to infer the existence of these germs. Everybody agrees on the criteria, and the grant $$$ start rolling in. If you want more info on WNV, punch in ""Robert Lederman, West Nile Virus"" on Google. Lederman has done excellent work on the subject. I'll close with this. Conditioning the population to aerial spraying of chemicals is an OP (planned operation). It softens people up to all sorts of possible future projects, like the spraying of vaccines.

For ""protection,"" of course, against terrorist bio-attacks. Hello? The attacks are: what is being sprayed from the air by our own officials. JON RAPPOPORT www.nomorefakenews.com
