I’ve been fearing that Obama was preparing to signal Hamas and Hezbollah sleeper cells to initiate biological attacks. We’ll see what comes of this...

That’s just great. Get on Hwy. 45 in Galveston and head north 100 miles and there I am.”

There are just a whole lot of us stuck in the 100 miles between this lab and you. UTMB was closed for quite a while and they were pretty successful at remaining out of the press limelight after Ike. Nurse I know who worked there pre-Ike said we would be amazed at what all was not found after Ike hit.

Don’t know if you remember the flood of 2001 in the Med Center when we had something like 40 inches of rain with Allison. All kinds of stuff was in the basement of the medical buildings and ended up floating all through the sewer and bayou system.

Pity nobody knows for certain what happened. Does not say good things about control factors on these supposedly controlled items.

Probably just transferred to al Qaeda as part of the
MANPAD and other tech-transfer by Obama/Holder/Clinton.

Why doesn't anyone point out the upside of this report?

After all, there's four vials of deadly virus they didn't lose!

This is what concerns me more than Homeland Security buying bullets. Americans have enough ammo to shoot every HS employee 50,000 times, but Americans don’t have an easy defense against weaponized swine flu or smallpox.

These Nazis in Washington wouldn’t hesitate killing 100 million Americans with biological warfare, IMO. The only viable defense we have against this is the Defense Intelligence Agency which can connect the dots in a biological attack.

How many times do we have to tell people not to leave dangerous pathogens on the windowsill to cool? Especially if the vial is shaped like a pie. Stooges have been known to take them.

I would think that would be one of the wost places to be during a real zombie outbreak. Cast members and crewmen would think it was all fake until it was too late.

It wasn’t lost.

It was stolen.

The guy at Ft. Hood comes to mind.... No doubt the government down there made sure the lab was made up of 20% Muslim.

This is how universities operate..At the pleasure of the government.

Well what’s interesting is this was posted as part of “Front page” news, and one of the nanny moderators didn’t like it so they took it out.

Yet this below remains in Front page section and is accepted...yuk yuk..

Anyway, I didn't know there was such a lab there. A hurricane coming into Galveston could tear the building to pieces and a number of those buildings were flooded due to Ike. I think that's a poor place to have deadly diseases.

Never thought of that...I guess a hurricane could blow those deadly cooties all the way up into Oklahoma.

Look, it was just lost, a simple mistake...Haven’t you ever misplaced your car keys or forgot to turn off the sprinklers?

I was afraid that the Hamas and Heabollah operatives that were flown in direct unchecked flights from Iran to Venezuela would have brought biological weapons with them. And they may have. Or the Obama regime may be providing the goods for them...

Can the butterfly drones disperse biological agents?

Ooh. I just noticed again. This is a disease from VENEZUELA. Where the Hamas and Hezbollah operatives were shipped to, from Iran...

I worked at UTMB for several years before retiring. The National Lab was built there specifically for the purpose of housing deadly viruses for research. It is built to withstand a Cat 5 Hurricane and was probably the only building on campus to suffer little or no damage from Hurricane Ike.

The lab is there because of politics and location. The fact that Galveston is a barrier island allows for easy cut-off from the mainland in the event of the release of a deadly biological agent. All that needs to be done is stop the ferries running to Bolivar, close I-45 at the causeway bridge and and the train tracks, and to the west, close San Luis Pass. The only other way off the island is to swim the Gulf. Anybody on the island at the time of such a release will be quarantined until the risk is cleared.

They did have problems with lab security when I was there. I worked in an area where my team and I would need to go into the lab on a regular basis. They also have a large foreign student population which is worrisome. The folks who work on campus found out about this about the same time as the general public did. The folks running the National Lab of course knew because of the inspection.

The stories they are putting out there are ridiculous. Galveston is a port city. If they have Venezuelan ships in in port, they most likely will have Venezuelan rats. Also, what mechanism keeps other rats exposed to the virus from being infected? How can they be sure? The plague was thought at one time to be confined to rats and not transmittable to other species. This whole thing has cover-up written all over it, especially the story that the vial could have stuck to someone's glove and been accidentally disposed of. There will be more coming out of this.

“There will be more coming out of this.”

Thanks for posting. I know the exits off the island you are talking about. My husband was a Vice-Pres. of American National Insurance, worked for them 30 years. Yes, that Am. Natl. building is the tall one in Galveston. I was in and around Galveston many years. For a number of months I worked for a doctor at UTMB doing research for a psychological test that was being developed for children with ADD.

I didn't know the building you are talking about would withstand a 5 hurricane. I did know there was flooding in those UTMB buildings from Ike. Perhaps the bldg. you are talking about was somehow built to prevent its flooding.

I was thinking the bldg. could get damaged and have those deadly mixtures in them from a hurricane so it was bad to have them in Galveston. I see where you are coming from to have a strong building and put the deadly stuff on that island so the island could be quarantined.

The article said UTMB people think the vial was thrown away, but you are doubting that. Since you worked there, you should know how possible that is and you don't think it was thrown away. Add to that Galveston is a port city with ships in and out. Bring bad guys in and they get off the ship and they are here.

Well, heck, I was going to stop thinking about that missing vial but, due to you, I can't. I wonder if we would be notified if they did find out it was stolen. I would bet the govn. wouldn't tell us.

“Where the Hamas and Hezbollah operatives were shipped to, from Iran...”

Yeh, okay. Now we’re talking about the asymmetrical warfare group, a wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force. Known as Unit 400, these elite killers are under the command of Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Rumors were rampant that these killers passed through our southern border.

Let me bring in Marcella and texgal to see if they can add anything to our conversation.
