Could the West Nile virus be a bioterror attack?
There is some evidence, not yet conclusive, but some evidence that it might be so.
This article suggests a possible Saddam / Iraqi connection.
And this article weaves a more conspiratorial Iraqi / Cuba connection.
I’m not one to buy into conspiracy theories easily—and never into unsubstantiated ones. Yet prior to the 911 attacks, any “informed” speculation about the impending use of commercial aircraft to attack US buildings would have likely qualified as a “conspiracy theory”. Hence, especially in these terror-awakened times, we should not dismiss the possibility of a conspiratorial explanation prima facie .
Yet, if the Bush administration really now wants to attack Iraq, you would think that floating the “West Nile virus-Iraqi connection” would be a forefront administration media strategy. But that appears not to be the case. So might it be that there really isn’t a more than mere speculative connection there and the administration doesn’t want to risk embarrassment through association with such speculation? Or could it be that the administration is retaining actual knowledge and evidence of such as a trump card to be played just prior to the implementation of an impending attack upon Iraq?
Also, contrary to Jimmy Carter’s "findings" when he recently visited Cuba and declared it “bioterror-free”, the Bush administration maintains that it has evidence of Castro continuing to use its laboratory facilities to construct bio/chemical weapons. So the Castro / Cuba implication, too, is not, on the surface, outrightly absurd, at least from an official perspective.
But do you want to know what I think? I think that one of our very own is behind this. Anyone been keeping tabs on TheCrimsonNinja lately? Well, what he wrote back here sounds sinisterly prophetic and provocative!
Can we overplay the threat that mosquitoes pose to us? According to some medical estimates, mosquitoes have been responsible for the deaths of more than half of all humanity historically and currently more than 10,000 children, by malaria alone, daily.
So regardless of whether mosquitoes are being actively assisted by human agents, there's no doubt that they have had and continue to try to dial our number.
