Flashback: E-Coli - Secret UK 'Bio-weapon' Tests Revealed

Defence scientists secretly tested E.coli bacteria as a possible biological weapon in and around two British towns, documents revealed today.
Between winter 1965 and November 1967 a series of Government trials involving the release of "microthreads" covered in the bacteria were carried out near Swindon and Southampton.
The experiments are detailed in the 1966 Ministry of Defence report on the Microbiological Research Establishment at Porton Down, Wilts.
It is being released for public viewing for the first time today at the National Archives in Kew, south west London.

Biological Warfare and the National Security State

The history of bioweapons research in the United States is a history of illicit--and illegal--human experiments.

From the Cold War to the War on Terror, successive American administrations have turned a blind eye on dubious research rightly characterized as having "a little of the Buchenwald touch."

While the phrase may have come from the files of the Atomic Energy Commission as Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Eileen Welsome revealed in her 1999 book, The Plutonium Files, an investigation into secret American medical experiments at the dawn of the nuclear age, it is as relevant today as the United States pours billions of dollars into work on some of the most dangerous pathogens known to exist in nature.

Waiting Outside the Theater For the Curtain to Go Up

Thank you to those who pointed out to me that it is “still April’ and we have our first signs of coming events for the year. We have a nasty selective virus that is doing one thing on one side of a border and another on the other side. It makes some people wonder. You don’t have to go too far to wonder some more. It makes sense that the next thing that the people who have been hard at work on the majority of the bad things we have seen so far and are due to see more of… it makes sense that they would target the populations with something certain to strike fear far and wide; something that would make travel very undesirable.

Yes… biological attacks would put a real crimp into all sorts of things and trot out the usual solutions that turn out to be worse than the thing itself and which pour profits into the pockets of some of the worst people on the planet. It takes no great stretch of the imagination to see how something would play very well into the government publicized ‘summer of rage’ and make the different population groups immediately paranoid of the other population groups.
