S. Led peace deal with the taliban up to date those are the latest headlines from here about jazeera coming up next its a manmade invisible threat. Its bad enough to catch a disease naturally but to take a disease and turn it into a weapon to enhance the disease to make it more virulent or more contagious or resistant to known vaccines thats particularly there again just kind of goes off the charts there its turning Mother Nature against us. The. Weapons that destroyed by spreading deadly diseases have a long in unhappy history billions of dollars have been spent by governments to create pathogens that can cause fatal illnesses even today some countries are stockpiling just such a deadly arsenal in a widely reported News Conference syria has admitted as much. Or perhaps more dangerous than the age of rapidly advanced technology its quite possible for individuals or groups to create biological mayhem. 12 countries that are battling an outbreak of a nasty strain of e. Coli live theater strains of all the consequences of this would be longer just not a libya harm see image i know alison introduce you all to tune in for the clearly this is not Mission Critical 16 people have already died identify the source of this because like contamination has become ever more urgent some have even suggested that the super super resistant strain recall i could have been engineered in a lab. The World Health Organization calls the deliberate contamination of our food one of the major biological threats of the 21st century. In the modern globalized economy where food gets transported all over the world there are a lot of opportunities for somebody to contaminate food with with biological agents. And i dont want to go into much detail but there was a an article that was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of sciences about. Some touching Dairy Products milk using a bunch of talks and you can cause horrible damage with death many thousands of coffee. Kolchaks and is a Senior Scientist at one of the United States most important biological laboratories. That is kind of frightening when you think of. 2 different passes will somebody there are a Large Population or a small part of the population what goes with food there are cases in the are not so this will pass for people about that. Oregon authorities announced that the most serioUs Biological attack in u. S. History was carried out not by Foreign Terrorists but by the followers of a homegrown religious cult. Salad bars and 10 oclock restaurants were deliberately contaminated with salmonella. 751 people were poisoned and 45 hospitalized at disciples of korea right knew she sought to incapacitate voters and see their own candidates when the 1984 was a go county election. The sun the incident occurred in the United States the biological attacks could happen anywhere in the world and so father has not been a coordinated global plan about how to deal with this. I know 6 that. The word terrorism evokes images of airplanes smashing into Office Towers of bombs blowing up in markets these remain real threats so do attacks by chemicals mustard gas defoliants on nerve agents. But there is something even more insidioUs Biological weapons see. Thats the whole point of terrorism is this to put enormous psychological pressure on the audience to try to reach if were talking about biological agents i mean unseen in many cases that you can smell them for that very reason those kinds of weapons have a much more powerful psychological impact on target audiences. Even going 5 people with a bio as you would would be more scary than killing 200. 00 people with a conventional explosive its been no confirmed. This is a bad press in britain but its been a day of false alarms the sorting office in liverpool was closed down and workers were forced to leave the Stock Exchange in london for a short time today Police Say People should stay calm but vigilant the latest victims in florida the scene of the 1st outbreak of anthrax 5 new cases reported by the American Media company overnight on the basis of blood tests carried out on every employee the fact that this seems to be spreading 10 days after the 1st victim died confirmation of americas worst fears never mind the source then the point is the kind of on capitol hill today you could hear loud and clear threats from biological and chemical agents are real. Following the 911. 00 attack and the 2001 anthrax murders the United States government poured billions of dollars into Homeland Security experts from around the world were tractor to well funded Scientific Laboratory and think tanks high on their list of threats to be investigated with the use of deadly pathogens as weapons a long and ugly stain on the history of mankind oh my gosh warfare 1st reared its head when man started fighting man you know whether it was putting scorpions in a clay pot and tossing him at your enemy or taking bodies people who had died from the plague and tossing them over city walls and Medieval Times poisoning Water Supplies these are all ancient techniques and biological warfare but it was only during the major wars of the last century where science started just to conduct this time. The real danger of the real threat was the beginning of the 20th century youre moving into bonds airplanes and the. Really and so microbiology. Doing the sino japanese war the japanese government engaged in a massive biological Weapons Program between 19401943 japan dropped hundreds of bombs infected with deadly germs on 11 chinese cities. As many as 200000 chinese citizens harish. They did initially the attacks on northern cities with plague and people did die and then later in the early part of the 1940 s. There were more aggressive attacks where they used anthrax planters cholera and other diseases. Martin for months is a United States pathologist with an interest in medical history in 1998 a colleague sent him a package containing autopsies performed on chinese victims years before i opened it up and they were page after page of these people murdered by biological weapons. It was the 1st time and one of the few times when i looking at it. I could feel palpable evil and there were. Docked with a mans discovered that some of the victims of japanese bombing had survived in 2000 to travel to their villages theyre called rot making villages for the simple reason that people who were there in the summer of 1942 got rotten eggs when you interview these people you. Of a very similar story a lot of people started getting boils on their bodies throbbing thing at 1st minute it loses pus and blood and continues to be horribly painful and essentially never heal eventually dr from them ski concluded that the villages was suffering from glendas a disease that attacks horses and which for decades had been all but eliminated. The japanese had dropped bombs laden with this pathogen they spread colorado they spread typhoid fever is produced in theory the script glanders the spread anthrax and they spread plague. Especially doing a biological scorched earth. Perhaps even more horrific than the dropping of germ bombs where the experiments carried out by unit 731. In manchuria. Japanese sent out their secret police and rounded up troublemakers and they would end up at unit 731. 00 as human guinea pigs and they would inoculate them with diseases to see how long they would die and they would tie them to stakes and drop bombs out of airplanes to see how well the bombs spread the disease. Theres always an aspect when youre dealing with biological weapons or chemical weapons some extent of extermination the way you would exterminate germany. After the end of the war japanese scientists who worked at unit 731 were granted amnesty by the United States in exchange for information on the biological Weapons Program the japanese who did bad science and killed thousands of people doing it got off scot free and they ended up going back to the universities and became chairman of departments and became captains of industry and and. On happy lives. Successive japanese governments have been extremely reluctant to take responsibility for atrocities committed during world war 2. All the major powers have dabbled in the germ warfare but british scientists peregrym work here in this Research Establishment they stored m a r 50 kilograms of bacteriological age enough to kill every living thing on earth the british experimented with typhoid dysentery and cholera testing these pathogens on animals. If youre using live agent tests and this was done out in the ocean in many cases what you would do is tie animals on cages on deck and disperse the agent and see how well it would affect the animals and this was also done for example by the United Kingdom with sheep being tested with anthrax on grand isle and. World war 2 did not bring an end to biological weapons the cold war heated up providing another excuse to produce this deadly arsenal. Britain france and canada for example embarked on a program that experimenting with many kinds of diseases. That awful there would be enough to. Illegal dose numbers to kill Something Like 50000 people this bottle on the other hand contains a biological agent simulants if that were friends of senator ensigns which causes the disease to remain there could be enough in that vault to infect every man woman and child in the world. But it was the Us BiologicalWeapons Program that was the most dangerous it was by far the largest 8 and most ambitious 8 aggressor military leaders know a disadvantage chemical and biological agents cannot afford an early be detected by the human sensory or youre going to smell anything. To. The effect can be deadly to part of the state guard the experimenters dangerous organisms are confined to safety cow but. Using rubber gloves which are sealed to the cabinet scientists can handle deadly cultures and still be safe from infection. With the cold war the United States begins a biological Weapons Program which is twinned with the Nuclear Program i thought unicity of any potential danger is another important criteria. Of course youre familiar with the pathogenicity of the 2 linus talks of a suspension of which is were being tested by intraperitoneal injection of mike. Many kinds of animals were used in us experiments mice rats rabbits guinea pigs and most especially monkeys a restraining boxes used to hold the monkey in position to receive the measured aerosol go. Be on a horse and pass through a series of air locks and positioned in a sealed exposure chamber immense are using monkeys got all the monkeys you want but you still dont know at the end of the day whether to make humans sick how much will make a human sick how long the person will stay sick and so you need to have human subjects in order to proof test whether. We went through all kinds of room. Lights we change our clothes in the scrub then weve got on the elevator and went up to a catwalk in each port hole they had a black a colorful and thats when you went into them theyd close the door and thats when we were hooked up to. You can smell it taste it. If you 2nd so poor. Ken jones was inhaling q. Fever a bacterial infection which can result in hepatitis and pneumonia. He is a religious pacifist one of a 2000 Conscientious Objectors who volunteered for operation white coat. You want to enforce where some 600. 00 military and civilian scientists Work Together in research at the Army Biological Laboratories to protect this country against a biological attack that is a silent assault by an invisible cloud that carries disease organism. There was testing on humans often done in a facility at fort dietrich known as the 8 ball which was in l. A. Sion chamber where they could disperse aerosols and see you know how much it takes to infect a human but they were given immediate medical treatment in to the best of my knowledge there were no fatalities. By code volunteers claim that the Us Government as she was then that all testing would be for defensive purposes only this is the make of the vaccine to protect you. And make it a hazmat suit to protect you against mass protect you. Lot of hospital procedure come from this operation. What was happening at fort dietrich was not only a defensive program but also an offensive program so. It was research that could be used for either purpose. Here was here controversy about the White Coat Program there was a lot of heat about the biological Weapons Program there were ethical worries that is it do we really want to start a disease that might sweep the country. We just got rid of. Any. Biological weapons that. President nixon had decided that given the success of hiroshima and nagasaki in ending world war 2 Nuclear Weapons with a supreme deterrent the Us Biological alsono was deemed unnecessary in 969 the United States halted offensive biological research and eventually destroyed all stockpiles the idea was that the nation state the us as a nation state didnt need it it had no clear weapons with which it could destroy large numbers of people quite nicely thank you. And that you know that possessing these things would just encourage other people to get the white hole number on april 10th 972 a place from the time of real significance for the future of the world and the people in it in 1972103 nations including the United States and the soviet union approved a Convention Prohibiting the production of biological weapons. The treaty to which these nations have committed. Bind them to stop making biological weapons and to destroy all existing stocks of those most of gusting means of math that the good thing about the biological Weapons Convention is a stablish the norm yet established and or against. Other people would do what other states would do and at least not that all the. But critics felt the convention was all but useless it had no team it still has no inspection provisions in large part because even before any country put in on paper signing that treaty
