- Note from Richard Finke: This report is highly
reliable as it is sourced from publicly available media and well-placed
private individuals within sympathetic intelligence departments. It was
verbally reported to me directly and previous experience has been acutely
accurate.

-
- Larry Harris, Registered Microbiologist,
previously much maligned as 'Dr. Frankenstein,' has his book on civil defense
against Biological Warfare now in the Library of Congress, according to
his publisher, Virtue International. In fact, it has been declared to
be an item of "emminent domain" subject to open government use
as needed without obligation to obtain the author's prior permission (for
a fee yet)! His book is available for $19.95.
-
- The treatment described therein has also
been anecdotaly credited with the cure of more than one Gulf War Syndrome
veteran. This is hotly contested by Joyce Riley but those familiar with
medicine will find it very credible and understandable.
-
- Presently Iraq's Sadaam Hussein has been
"pushing back" as the U.N. has been pushing him. How dare he!?
Doesn't he realize the potential consequences? Well, perhaps it is the
West masquerading behind the UN that doesn't realize the consequences.
-
- Recent media reports out of Baghdad make mention of a compound referred
to as XV and the fact that the (Red) Chinese have balked at finishing construction
of large containers with glass liners ordered by Iraq. These containers
are needed for the production of VX which is the most powerful nerve agent
known to man. Only one-millionth gram will kill a human in minutes.
-
- Thus far the media has confused it as
a chemical weapon. It is actually a biotoxin derived from anthrax which
itself is deadly and kills within a few days. In short XV is a dramatic
'refinement' of the notorious anthrax bacteria. Thus it is a biowar weapon.
I suspect the reason for the misidentifying of XV is that the ultimate
source of the anthrax was the U.S. itself!! This plainly implies the complicity
of US officials. (A point ineffectively, unfortunately, brought out by
Peter Kawaja) The biological weapon, XV, kills rapidly by paralysis, in
terms of minutes, and is many times more deadly than any other weapon,
including sarin or botulin.
-
- A baseball-sized bulb of XV is more effective
than a drum of sarin. A bulb of XV would decimate (read, exterminate) an
approximate area of a 5-mile diameter. That is a rough equivalent of an
atomic weapon at a fraction of the development, production and delivery
cost. It would remain toxic in an open area for 36 hours unless blown out
by strong winds. Weeks longer if in a subway tunnel or sports enclosure.
Please note that it is also water-soluble making it an effective weapon
in municipal water systems. It could be dropped into an open resevoir,
or, using a suitable pump, it could be introduced into municipal systems
by sufficient back pressure from the secure privacy of any residence with
a faucet. It is odorless and tasteless. To be sure the Iraqi, Sadaam Hussein,
still has anthrax in his arsenal, too.
-
- Additionally Iraq has copied an old NAZI
designed VI rocket over to create its own cruise missle capable of delivering
a biotoxin warhead about 200 miles that flies at a speed of 500 mph, slow,
but it gets there. Remember, care must be taken how one shoots this bird
down as its cargo is deadly anywhere that it comes down.

- Iran Gets Chemical
Weapons Help From China
-
- By Bill Gertz
THE
WASHINGTON TIMES
11-3-97
-
-
-
- China has finished building a major production
plant in Iran for special equipment used in making chemical weapons, according
to a classified U.S. intelligence report.
-
- The top-secret document says that Chinese
technicians completed work in June on a factory that makes "glass-lined
equipment" but that final delivery of some equipment for the facility,
along with chemical-weapons materials, was held up temporarily by the Beijing
government. "Glass-lined equipment is essential in the production
of chemical warfare agent precursors and is controlled by the Australia
Suppliers Group," the report says.
-
- A U.S. official said building the equipment
factory may violate the recently concluded Chemical Weapons Convention,
which bars international cooperation in developing poison weapons and which
both China and Iran have signed.
-
- The Australia group is a 30-nation forum
seeking to halt the spread of chemical and biological weapons by restricting
transfers of equipment and materials -- including glass-lined equipment
needed to neutralize the corrosive effects of chemicals used in making
poison gas.
-
- China and Iran are not part of the group
but may be subject to sanctions under U.S. proliferation law.
-
- The factory was built by the Nanjing
Chemical and Industrial Group, one of three Chinese companies sanctioned
by the Clinton administration in May for selling chemical weapons equipment
and materials to Iran.
-
- The equipment factory is a "dual-use"
production facility capable of producing chemical-warfare equipment as
well as equipment for producing civilian chemicals like detergents.
-
- U.S. officials familiar with the report
said the factory poses a major threat because it not only bolsters Iran's
large-scale chemical-weapons capability, but also presents new dangers
that Iran will begin selling the glass-lined equipment to other nations
seeking chemical arms. U.S. intelligence officials say Iran has a stockpile
estimated to include up to 2,000 tons of blister, choking and nerve agents.
The agents include sarin nerve gas and mustard gas, deployed in aerial
bombs, artillery shells, mines, mortars and short-range missile warheads.
-
- The report said "overall" construction
of the plant was completed in June but "raw materials" needed
for operating the plant were held up by the Chinese government because
of problems with export-control documents. The Chinese technicians were
expected to return to the Iranian factory once the materials arrived, it
said.
-
- Sen. John Ashcroft, Missouri Republican
and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said China's work
in building the facility bolsters a recent CIA report "which says
that China is the world's worst proliferator of weapons of mass destruction."
-
- "[The CIA report] not only designated
China on nuclear and chemical, but it also indicated that that included
biological weapons," Mr. Ashcroft said during a luncheon meeting with
reporters and editors at The Washington Times.
-
- Other orders paid for by Tehran's Razak
Laboratories in 1995 and Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries in Tabriz,
but not delivered, include 49 metric tons of alkyl dimethylamine -- used
in making detergent -- and 17 metric tons of sodium sulfide, a chemical
used in making mustard gas.
-
- The orders were brokered by Iran's Industrial
International Movalled Andishe Co., known as Imaco, with the North Chemical
Industries Corp., known as Nocinco.
-
- The report also identified a Chinese
company known as Q. Chen as "a major supplier of glass-lined equipment
and chemicals to Iran's chemical weapons program" that was linked
to Nocinco. "Chen and NOCINCO have been major suppliers of IMACO since
its emergence in early 1995," it said.
-
- The report said the delayed shipments
were due to problems in obtaining export licenses from the Beijing government
and "may represent Chinese government pressure brought to bear on
NOCINCO to stop its dealings with Iran."
-
- However, Iran expects to complete the
chemical and equipment deals "simply by changing the name of the Chinese
seller," the report states.
-
- Nocinco was identified by the CIA last
year as having delivered several hundred tons of carbon disulfide, an ingredient
in nerve agents.
-
- Kenneth Timmerman, a specialist on Iran's
weapons programs, said Iran has turned to China for specialized chemical
weapons equipment because of tighter export control laws in Europe. "China
has behaved like a rogue supplier in selling Iran equipment for its chemical
weapons," he said.
-
- The location of the chemical equipment
factory was not identified in the report. Officials note that most of Iran's
chemical-weapons facilities are located near Tehran, the capital.
