PENTAGON MAY HAVE RELEASED WEAPONIZED TICKS THAT HELPED SPREAD OF LYME DISEASE: INVESTIGATION ORDERED
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives quietly passed a bill requiring the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct a review into whether the Pentagon experimented with ticks and other blood-sucking insects for use as biological weapons between 1950 and 1975.
If the Inspector General finds that such experiments occurred, then, according to the bill, they must provide the House and Senate Armed Services committees with a report on the scope of the research and "whether any ticks or insects used in such experiments were released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design," potentially leading to the spread of diseases such as Lyme.
The amendment was put forward by Rep. Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey, who was "inspired" by several books and articles claiming that the U.S. government had conducted research at facilities such as Fort Detrick, Maryland, and Plum Island, New York, for this purpose.
“And what was on Plum Island? A germ warfare lab to which the U.S. government had brought former Nazi germ warfare scientists in the 1940s (Project Paperclip) to work on the same evil work for a different employer. These included the heard of the Nazi germ warfare program who had worked directly for Heinrich Himmler. On Plum Island was a germ warfare lab that frequently conducted its experiments out of doors. After all, it was on an island. What could go wrong? Documents record outdoor experiments with diseased ticks in the 1950s. Even the indoors, where participants admit to experiments with ticks, was not sealed tight. And test animals mingled with wild deer, test birds with wild birds.By the 1990s, the eastern end of Long Island had by far the greatest concentration of Lyme disease. If you drew a circle around the area of the world heavily impacted by Lyme disease, which happened to be in the Northeast United States, the center of that circle was Plum Island.”
While bed bugs have not been shown to transmit disease, they do cause a variety of negative physical health, mental health and economic consequences. Some of these effectsinclude: Allergic reactions to their bites, which can be severe. ... Mentalhealth impacts on people living in infested homes.
Research has shown that bed bugs are carriers of Trypanosoma cruzi (also known as T.cruzi). T. cruzi is a protozoa that can cause Chagas disease.

I'm not shocked by this. It happened a long time ago. I'm more concerned about what is happening now.
I'm still waiting for the answer about who was behind the JFK assassination.

Yeah, I thought about that one too. With such large sucking mouth parts, bed bugs obviously would be a vector for disease. It's just like the "experts" tell us that mosquitoes can transmit Malaria but not AIDS, even though they get bloated with blood within a minute of biting. But since I haven't been educated and trained in insect borne diseases, I'm just an ignorant paranoid that can't use common sense to make that assumption and must rely on the media to explain the "facts" to me.

Everything is a rich man's trick
It's a long documentary on the JFK assassination. Some of the conclusions may be questioned but it's a great history lesson of all the possible actors involved.

Yes, I have read that too. Supposedly, if the tick is properly removed within 24 hrs, the chance of getting Lyme Disease is low.
The key is properly removed. I have read to NEVER touch the body of the tick. If touched, or any chemical, or hot match stick is applied to the tick, it goes into shock, and releases as much bacteria as it can.
If I were someone that found a tick on my body, I would go to an Emergency Room, or my personal Dr, if available, and have the skin below the head of the tick cut out, and immediately be put on doxycycline for 4 weeks. If a person waits for the results, to see if the tick has the Lyme bacteria, I feel it will be too late.
I have even read touching a tick can give you certain bacterial infections. To add insult to injury, now there is a new tick that's spreading. The Asian Long Horned Tick. Several cows in North Carolina have died from having their blood drained by these monsters from Hell.
I will check back later to this thread, after I do a few errands.
Thank you

Right!! hell yeah
Actually I never even thought of mosquitoes being able to transmit AIDS
it makes since though.
They say that them kinda of diseases can't be transmitted like that because the air kills it
but if someone can get them kind of diseases from sharing needles then I would think mosquitoes could do the trick
Nice concept
