-
- It is almost a year since the West Nile outbreak in New
York City. We are no closer to any answers, regarding the origin of that
outbreak, than we were one year ago.
-
- I commenced the investigation into Plum Island simply
to ascertain if Plum Island was the origin of the West Nile outbreak.
During that simple investigation, I stumbled onto a puzzle. Most of the
answers to that puzzle are stored in some US Government computer banks
and in dusty file cabinets. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult...and
scarey...to try to find those answers.
-
- The investigation of Plum Island had led me down many
paths, as many of you know. The last turn and twist of the plot was my
discovery that in 1970, Plum Island was granted 10 million dollars to research
mycoplasma. The work went so well that in 1975, the year the initial grant
was to expire, Plum Island was granted even more funds to continue the
mycoplasma research. I had finally learned why Plum Island had a Biolevel
5 designation.
-
- At the time, 1970, it was illegal to work with mycoplasma
in the continental US, therefore Plum Island was designated Biolevel 5
and the research commenced at that off-shore facility.
-
- I needed further information on the research of Plum
Island's Dr. Jawad Al-Aubaidi. He was the young researcher who completed
his graduate research at Cornell and was hired by Plum Island to head up
the Plum Island mycoplasma research in the 1980s.
-
- I had learned from Prof. Garth Nicolson that Dr. Aubaidi
had returned home to become President of the Al-Qudisiyah University, South
of Bagdad, and head up the mycoplasma research at Bagdad University. I
further learned that Dr. Aubaidi had been murdered in 1995. Professor
Nicolson indicated that he had been murdered by the Israelis. I needed
further information on both the research of Dr. Jawad Al Abuaidi and the
circumstances of his untimely death.
-
- On March 26th, 2000, I had requested FOIA documents on
Ft. Terry, Plum Island, and Dr. Jawad Al-Aubaidi.
-
- On March 28th, 2000, the National Archives turned over
my FOIA request to the NSA (National Security Agency). On June 5, 2000,
I received a letter from the United States Government NSA. . According
to that letter, the request for records on the circumstances of the death
of Dr. Jawad Al-Aubaidi is "a currently and properly classified matter
in accordance with Executive Order 12958." The FOIA request for info
was also withheld pursuant to the third exemption.
-
- The specific statutes applicable in this case are: Title
18 U.S. Code 798; Title 50 U.S. Code 403=(c)(6); and Section 6, Public
Law 86-36(50 U.S. Code 402)
-
- In other words, my request is exempted from disclosure
purusant to statute.
-
- The circumstances and the death of Dr. Aubaidi is to
be kept secret in "the interest of national defense and foreign relations,"
and are properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order.
-
- On June 21st, I received a letter from Dr. Jawad Al-Aubaidi's
professor at Cornell University, The James A. Baker Institute for Animal
Health, Dr. Leland E Carmichael.
-
- Dr. Carmichael compared my research to that of Nelson
Demille's book, basically all fiction. I cannot figure out how Dr. Carmichael
found my mailing address. I cannot even imagine how Dr. Carmichael heard
of my work. I did not think that my research would be required reading
of University Scientists.
-
- Dr. Carmichael corrected me on several points:
-
- 1. Dr. Aubaidi pursued a Veterinary Science Degree at
Plum Island.
-
- 2. "Mycoplasma sp. are the poorest of candidates
for germ warfare and have never been considered for that awful purpose.
-
- 3. Plum Island is an Agricultural Research institution
and not a biowarfare lab.
-
- He basically stated that Dr. Jawad Al Aubaidi was a research
student of his, and he was a fine young man, and my inquiry into his research
and death is doing Dr. Aubaidi a disservice.
-
- All that I wish to do is to request information on Dr.
Aubaidi's research and to inquire into the events surrounding the death
of Dr. Jawad Al Aubaidi. I do not wish to accuse, I do not wish to invent
or create a disingenuous fabrication, I wish to learn the truth.
-
- If, according to Dr. Carmichael's version of the facts
of the death of Dr. Aubaidi, the agents of Sadom Hussein did, in fact,
arrange for Dr. Aubaidi to have a flat tire and subsequently hit with a
truck as he fixed his flat, then I do not see how my inquiry could posssibly
do a disservice. Dr. Carmichael indicated that the Iraqis had Dr. Aubaidi
killed because he and his family wished to return to the US and had made
preparations to do so.
-
- There are thousands of Gulf War Vets and also, now, general
population in the US suffering the effects of mycoplasma. I can assure
you, myself included, that they (effects of mycoplasma incognitus) can
be devastating. It is hard to identify the worst symptom, whether it is
the severe headaches, the constant feeling of a rubber band pulled tightly
around your head, or the "fog."
-
- On a 'good' day, there are still symptoms present. When
one is able to go to the store, if one has to bend down to pick up something
from a bottom shelf, one topples over. Heart palpatations, congestive
heart failure, and rising and lowering blood pressures, all courtesy of
mycoplasma.
-
- There have been days when I find my self at the strip
mall, yet, do not remember why I am there and which store I need to go
into.
-
- There is very little that many of the primary care physicians
know of treating mycoplasma infection. When one needs long term antibiotic
treatment, it is very hard to convince the primary care physician to give
that needed prescription for the Doxycycline.
-
- As time goes on, the symptoms of untreated mycoplasma
take their toll on the victim.
-
- I certainly want to know what mycoplasma research was
done at Plum Island, as well as Cold Spring Harbor, and Ft. Detrick, and
Tanox. Yet, the U.S. Government makes it increasingly difficult to read
about that research. If it is so inocuous, then why won't the Government
release the data? Why is information on mycoplasma, a poor candidate for
germ warfare, classified?
-
- If the circumstances of the death of Dr. Jawad Al Aubaidi
were simply Iraqi agents of Saddam taking out someone who was moving back
to the US, then why is the US Government so reluctant to release the documents?
-
- Why is it classified and done so pursuant to Executive
Order?
-
- Why is so much information on Plum Island and Ft. Terry
classified and unretrievable from archives?
-
- On March 26, 2000, when I made the FOIA request, I thought
the Plum Island investigation might soon be complete and that I may soon
have the answers that I sought.
-
- June 2000, with the letters from the NSA and, also, the
very curious letter from the Professor of Dr. Jawad Al Aubaidi, I am left
with even more questions.
-
- I am hoping that by publicizing the circumstances surrounding
my investigation, I may find someone ready to stand up and blow the whistle
on the coverup.
-
- I cannot foget that it was mycoplasma that killed so
many people in the Huntsville, Texas area during the Day Lily Project at
Huntsville, Texas prison.
-
- I also remember that it was Dr. James Dewey Watson, Nobel
winner, "Double Helix," and Director of Cold Spring Harbor, who
went to Texas to oversea the giving out of flu shots to the Texas Dept.
of Corrections Prisoners at Huntsville Texas Prison.
-
- I am in contact with victims of that project, who, to
this day, from exposure in the 1980s, suffer the effects of mycoplasma.
Many folks, prisoners, prison personnel, doctors, nurses, and towns people
of Huntsville, Texas had perished before Professor Nicolson had arrived
in 1994 and identified the pathogen as mycoplasma incognitus.
-
- I cannot follow Dr. Carmichael's assumption that mycoplasma
is a poor candidate for germ warfare. The only word in that sentence I
can agree with is "awful."
-
- Yes, only those who suffer from the effects of mycoplasma
know it is, indeed, AWFUL.
-
- Thank you,
