- It has to be the ultimate irony.
-
- In the last days of the Clinton Presidency,
thanks to media exposure and a near-rebellion in the ranks, the Department
of Defense all but suspended its draconian forced Anthrax-shot program,
which had destroyed the lives and careers of thousands of men and women
in the military.
-
- The brass-hats at the Pentagon were unprepared
for the firestorm of criticism from the American public, when they realized
that their sons and daughters, husbands and wives, were being made GUINEA
PIGS - on pain of court-martial and prison - to an experimental drug.
-
- The fact that service members have died
and many more are crippled for life, didn't sit too well with some Americans
willing to speak out against this terrible injustice.
-
- That this poorly-planned program was
in reality, a money-making $CAM, cooked up by Bill Clinton, his sycophantic
Defense Secretary Bill Cohen, and the "corpulent" Admiral William
Crowe (retired), made it all the more outrageous.
-
- [For those new to MilitaryCorruption.com
who want to follow the "money-trail" and find out WHY Bioport
of Lansing, Michigan got a multi-million dollar "sweetheart"
contract to produce the "vaccine" just days after Crowe "bought
in" to the company, please read GREED AND GUINEA PIGS, elsewhere on
this web site.]
-
- SHATTERED HOPE
-
- With the election of George W. Bush,
a man the military overwhelmingly supported, (no wonder Gore's lawyers
wanted the Fla. military absentee votes tossed out), some optimistic observers
felt it was "only a matter of time" before the hated forced anthrax
shot program would be ended, once and for all.
-
- Certainly GW must remember how Crowe,
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Ronald Reagan and George Bush,
had stabbed his father in the back during the 1992 Presidential election.
-
- The governor from Arkansas, who once
wrote his draft board back home, how much he "LOATHED" the military,
had a big problem with many patriotic members of the armed forces - Republicans,
Democrats and Independents.
-
- By "endorsing" the well-known
draft-dodger, the much-decorated admiral could give Clinton "credibility"
and political "cover" with a key constituency. Unsuspecting soldiers,
sailors, airmen and Marines voted for Clinton based on Crowe's "say
so."
-
- What they didn't know, was the crafty
Crowe had "cut a deal" whereby Clinton would appoint him ambassador
to Great Britain in exchange for the nominal Republican's timely and critical
support.
-
- But this unlikely alliance between the
once highly respected admiral and the cunning politician with no military
service, had more ominous implications.
-
- FOLLOW THE "MONEY-TRAIL"
-
- By the middle of Clinton's second term,
Crowe - no longer ambassador, and now hooked up with mysterious money-man
Faud El-Hibri - bought a chunk of what was, an still is, America's only
manufacturer of "so-called" Anthrax vaccine.
-
- Bioport was plagued by manufacturing
problems and repeatedly shut down by the Food and Drug Administration for
"unsanitary conditions."
-
- WHY would Crowe, certainly "nobody's
fool," buy in to what looked like a losing proposition? Unless he
knew ahead of time, Clinton would dictate through Cohen, that ALL members
of the military - active duty, guard, and reserve - MUST submit to the
experimental shots.
-
- To make sure dissent was stifled, anyone
who objected to the inoculations would be kicked out of the service or
sent to prison. After the first few court-martials, (shielded from the
civilian news media), word would be passed through the ranks and no one
in the military would "dare" refuse the injections.
-
- Or so the scammers thought.
-
- Clinton, Cohen and Crowe didn't count
on such tenacious fighters for truth as Air Force Maj. "Sonnie"
Bates (www.majorbates.com), the highest-ranking officer at the time to
refuse the shots; Capt. John Buck (first military physician to say NO to
the forced drugs); retired USAF Col. Redmond Handy, President of NOABUSE
(National Organization of Americans Battling Unnecessary Service-member
Endangerment); and Air National Guard majors, Tom "Buzz" Rempfer
and Russ Dingle.
-
- These brave men, along with Nicholas
Regush (NicholasRegush.com), civilian scientists and MilitaryCorruption.com,
hammered away at the forced immunizations, both in print and on the broadcast
airwaves. And it had a definite impact.
-
- The Pentagon "spin-machine"
went into high gear, and word was passed down that "supplies"
of the controversial "vaccine" were so low, use would be suspended,
except for those service members going to "high-risk" areas.
-
- As usual, why tell the whole truth when
a lie or half-truth will suffice? To do otherwise would be to admit to
one of the most horrible offenses against the health and well-being of
our armed forces in the history of this nation - dioxin poisoning (Agent
Orange) in Vietnam, and Gulf War Syndrome, being a couple others that come
to mind.
-
- "CAMPAIGN PROMISES"
-
- During the 2000 election campaign, now-Vice
President Dick Cheney promised veterans: "HELP IS ON THE WAY!"
-
- We're still waiting.
-
- And now the FDA has given "conditional
approval" to Bioport to release the controversial vaccine. In a matter
of months, service-members again will live in fear and dread of being forced
to choose between jail, discharge or their health - and perhaps that of
their families.
-
- When "U.S. Medicine" magazine
(Sept. 2000 issue) asked then-candidate George W. Bush: "What is your
assessment of the Defense Department's Anthrax Immunization Program?"
this was his reply:
-
- "(This program) has raised numerous
health concerns and caused fear among individuals whose lives it touches.
I don't feel the current administration's anthrax immunization program
has taken into account the effect of this program on the soldiers in our
military and their families. Under my administration, soldiers and their
families will be taken into consideration."
-
- Have they been? And WHY does a man like
Crowe stand to BENEFIT from decisions made by the Bush Administration,
passed down to the Department of Defense? Can the White House be "tone-deaf"
to the many protests throughout the country to these forced shots? Or is
money and profit the final denominator?
-
- Time will tell.
-
- But time is also a living hell, a never-ending
nightmare, for those afflicted with a myriad of illnesses as a result of
the injections. They have lost their military careers, and in some cases,
their freedom. Their families suffer too. Just ask former Michigan National
Guard recruiter Tom Starkweather, who "literally has to crawl upstairs
because it hurts to walk."
-
- This sergeant is out of the service now
- no pension, no career, no hope. Every day he "wakes up hurting,"
a constant reminder of what was done to him by the military and his own
government he swore to protect with his life.
-
- Sometimes when he feels lumps under his
skin, has vomiting and diarrhea, and chills so bad his body shakes while
he wraps himself in a blanket, he thinks of those who "profit"
while he suffers.
-
- One can imagine Admiral Crowe, patting
his abundant belly and lighting up another cigar, visions of MORE money
dancing through his head. Does the thought ever cross his mind that at
that very moment, in a thousand homes in America, on military bases here
and abroad and on ships at sea, American men and women are sick and suffering?
Some don't dare complain because they will be kicked out of the service.
Others don't care anymore. And some - they just want to die.
-
- IF ADMIRAL CROWE FEELS WE HAVE BEEN UNFAIR
AND DONE VIOLENCE TO HIS TRUE AIMS AND GOALS - HIS "LOYALTY"
TO AND "CONCERN" FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ONCE SERVED UNDER
HIS COMMAND - LET HIM GIVE HIS SIDE OF THE STORY HERE ON MILITARYCORRUPTION.COM.
WE WILL PUBLISH HIS WORDS AS HE WRITES THEM, WITHOUT EDITING.
-
- WE ALSO WON'T HOLD OUR BREATH WAITING
FOR SUCH AN EXPLANATION. BUT WE SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
IS "SAVING CROWE'S HASH."
