Was there a thread?--I don't know, but Jeff wrote a piece called "This Is Only A Drill" and there were a lot of comments posted dealing with this subject . . .<br>It was before my time as a RigInt/ezboard member-- <p></p><i></i>

Why does this sound familiar? <p></p><i></i>

Because a couple of months ago, a poster (can't remember who) remarked on identical activity taking place in Austin. A disused base, white containers whose semi drivers were kept in their trucks, and a tall chain-link fence erected around the facility with the top angled IN. Go back to the first board and look around. It's a long, major thread. <p></p><i></i>

Globe & Mail<br> <br>Who ate whom? Did feeding human remains to cattle start mad-cow?By HELEN BRANSWELL <br><br>Friday, September 2, 2005 Page A15<br><br> TORONTO -- A leading medical journal has published a disturbing theory about the possible origins of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, suggesting that mad-cow disease may have developed because human remains were fed to British cattle in the 1960s and 1970s.<br><br>Canada's leading expert on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies says the unsettling hypothesis presented this week in The Lancet might be accurate. "All I can say at this point is it's plausible. It's not out to lunch," Dr. Neil Cashman said from Vancouver, where he teaches in the department of neurology at the University of British Columbia. "But it's also not clear whether this hypothesis is true, or even if this hypothesis can be tested."<br><br>It had previously been thought the brain-wasting disease passed to cattle through remains of sheep infected with scrapie (the sheep equivalent of BSE) that were added to cattle feed. The theory continued that humans who ate infected beef developed a human form of BSE. It became known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or vCJD, to differentiate it from the classic human forms of the disease, which can occur sporadically or run in families.<br><br>But the British team suggests a reverse scenario: The remains of humans infected with classic CJD were fed to cattle, which became ill with a bovine version of the human disease, known as BSE or mad-cow disease. The remains of the animals would have been rendered and mixed into new batches of feed, infecting more animals. Eventually, a new version of the disease, vCJD, passed back into humans.<br><br> The first BSE case was identified in 1986 in Britain. The first human case of vCJD was diagnosed in 1995, also in Britain, which has borne the brunt of the vCJD epidemic, with more than 150 human cases.<br><br>Authors Alan and Nancy Colchester admit that their hypothesis is based on circumstantial evidence. "We do not claim that our theory is proved, but it unquestionably warrants further investigation," they wrote. The pair notes that hundreds of thousands of tonnes of mammalian remains were imported to Britain for use in fertilizer and animal feed during the 1960s and '70s. Nearly 50-per-cent was from countries of the Indian subcontinent. <br><br>"In India and Pakistan, gathering large bones and carcasses from the land and from rivers has long been an important local trade for peasants," the Colchesters say in their article. "Collectors encounter considerable quantities of human, as well as animal remains, as a result of religious customs."<br><br>Hindu doctrine instructs that bodies should be cremated and the remains deposited in a river, preferably the legendary Ganges. Because of the cost of a full cremation, many corpses are partially burned, then deposited in a river. <br><br>Based on standard rates of CJD infection, the authors speculate that a portion of the human remains that made their way into animal feed in Britain would have contained the infectious prions (misformed proteins) that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. (A Canadian government spokesman said there is no evidence animal products containing human remains would have found their way here.)<br><br>Two neurologists from India's National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore challenged the controversial hypothesis in a commentary that accompanies the article, arguing that it is not clear that putrefied human remains would remain infectious.<br><br>Susarla Shankar and P. Satishchandra also argue that any infectious material would have been heavily diluted, first by the other remains, then by the other ingredients of the animal feed. "Scientists must proceed cautiously when hypothesizing about a disease that has such wide geographic, cultural and religious implications," they warn. "Facts to support or refute their hypothesis now need to be gathered with urgency and great care." <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

another Titor 'fan'.<br>don't know about EXACTLY.<br>don't think I could take another ten years of this, and that's before it gets really interesting.<br>and there's that other bit, that he also noticed.<br>you know, the bit that involves 'free will'.<br>also don't know about Bastian and the bacteria. I'm stretching, but it's one hell of a reach. maybe a secondary 'symptom'.<br>but wtf is with the FEMA stuff?<br>o.k.. let me re-phrase that.<br>what are your thoughts on what might be/is going on here?<br>is it as obvious as it seems?<br>and yet, why bother with the advance warning to get packed when we've been watching FEMA do sfa.<br>lots of loopiness.<br> <p></p><i></i>

and, I've oft' wondered with his reference to Exodus as to which event he was alluding.<br>and there we have Rivera. " let them go" "let them just walk out of here"<br>?????<br> <p></p><i></i>

So are you saying that they won't let people out because they are in proximity to the BSE? I'm a big tinfoil hat wearer, but I don't think mine is on THAT tight. Although I'm at a loss as to why people aren't allowed to just leave. Something fishy here.<br> <p></p><i></i>

is martial law? <br><br>Everthing/everyone gets locked up at night. Nobody in or out. Checkpoints. I've even read more than once today that the NG packed up and left last night and didn't return until this morning. <p></p><i></i>

I remember reading some scientist's theory that BSE might have simply been caused by the toxic pesticides put on the backs of cattle to prevent warbal(?) fly infestation. If this were true, it could have VERY serious consequences for the pesticide companies. For instance, it appears that older cattle are more vulnerable to whatever causes BSE, so just consider the posssibility that people who have BSE may have been mistakenly diagnosed with Alzheimer's. What if these pesticides were responsible? It would break these companies. <p></p><i></i>
