Iranian scientists, working under orders from the radicals running the Islamic regime, have genetically altered microbial agents in a nightmarish scheme to bring the West to its knees.
According to a source in the Revolutionary Guards intelligence unit with knowledge of Iran’s microbial research and development, the scientists, with Russian and North Korean help, currently possess eight extremely dangerous microbial agents that, if unleashed, could kill millions of people.
As reported exclusively on WND on Dec. 16, the source revealed the existence of a plant in Marzanabad, Iran, where 12 Russian and 28 Iranian scientists are working on microbial agents for bombs. At that time, the source disclosed that Iran was working on 18 agents, with four completed. He has now provided information that with work at two other plants, Iran has created a total of eight microbial agents, with research on insects to be used as the vector to infect the societies of its enemies.
The eight agents are anthrax, encephalitis (the blueprint of this virus, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, was provided by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in an agreement two years ago with the Islamic regime), yellow grain (developed with the help of North Korea), SARS, Ebola, cholera, smallpox and plague.
Iran, with North Korea’s help, has genetically altered the smallpox virus that makes current vaccinations useless against it. And research at two facilities that act as drug companies but are fronts for the deadly research shows insects can .........

Hope and change....
I hate to say i have had the same thought.
I doubt that the terrorist using this would unleash it in Emporia Kansas or even Dallas. San Francisco, New York, LA or DC would be far more likely
” More likely some of the US ‘stuff.’”
Why do you say that I wonder?
Seems like the break up of the Soviet U made their WMD arsenal less secure than ours.
Smallpox requires bed bugs to spread significantly. It is not normally spread person to person.
Good bed and furniture sanitation controls it.
“San Francisco, New York, LA or DC would be far more likely”
Yes, but since Miami has the largest population of Jews in the world (I think), maybe it would be a prime target?
***Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis,***
VEE spread over the USA back in the early 1960s. It is not new.
Persian nuke technology came through the US, not Russia.
Where is your evidence that the Russian nukes are “less secure?”
There have been zero incidents.
***MASH theme song.****
My brother-in-law, who walked across Korea as a Marine, seven times back in the Korean war hated that show. It was NOTHING like what they went through.
“It is not normally spread person to person.”
Maybe it could be controlled.
But this article says that it can spread by air when a person is coughing and sitting in a doctor’s office or subway station.
When a full blown case is in the hospital, everyone in the hospital is at risk.
“Variola [plague] virus is now classified as a Biosafety Level 4 hot agent — the most dangerous kind of virus — because it is lethal, airborne, and highly contagious, and is now exotic to the human species, and there is not enough vaccine to stop an outbreak. Experts feel that the appearance of a single case of smallpox anywhere on earth would be a global medical emergency. “

“Where is your evidence that the Russian nukes are “less secure?””
After the break up of the USSR America was trying to secure “loose nukes”. Remember?
Here is an article about why it is reasonable to fear that their cold war stuff isn’t secure.

Iranian scientists, working under orders from the radicals running the Islamic regime, have genetically altered microbial agents in a nightmarish scheme to bring the West to its knees.Jimmy Carter's fault.
Richard Preston’s book, Demon In The Freezer, tells the story of the USSR/Russia’s program for creating Blackpox.
It is a terrifying true story about bioweapon research.
You’ve been “MSM’d”
The breakup on the USSR was an economic event, not particularly a strategic one. They simply could not compete on the economic stage.
The CFR is most certainly to be viewed with extreme skepticism, as the manipulators that they clearly are.
No, you're thinking of something else. Smallpox is an aerosol spreader. Those stories Ward Churchill (remember him?) used to write about infected blankets giving smallpox to the Indians were pure fantasy, it doesn't work like that.
The real difficulty is twofold: (1) we don't have stockpiles of vaccine against the normal, wild type of Variola, and (2) nobody has much of anything against the weaponized type except presumably for the guys who produce it because they're the only ones who know what modifications were made. Nasty, nasty stuff - very low threshold dose, some people even claim one virus particle but that would be impossible to determine with any degree of confidence. The variation in immunity you see in a normal population may not be the case with the weaponized versions - think Ebola and you'll get the picture. The stuff is very adept at picking up pieces of the host genome, which is why it's so attractive to bio-warfare.
Good sanitation practices can certainly restrict its spread, though, especially if the cordon is tight enough and the infected population small enough. But I do think that even if the conventional vaccine confers only a partial immunity, it's worth producing in usable quantities. Just my $0.02.
>> “Jimmy Carter’s fault.” <<

That rabbit should have done him in when he had the chance...
The bed bug connection to smallpox was discovered in the late 1920s. It was recognized as the reason that those caring for family members with the pox at home were not getting infected at the high rate that nursing staff and patients in hospitals were.
“The breakup on the USSR was an economic event, not particularly a strategic one.”
“You’ve been “MSM’d””
So you think that it is more likely that bio-weapon agents were leaked by the US than the former Soviet Union.
You say that former Soviet arsenals are secure since there has been no incidents and question the CFR as a source of evidence that Russian “loose Nukes” could exist.
OK, but I still wondering why you think it is more likely that such leaks came from the US. (No offense, just curious).
And yeah, if you get the impression I sound a little spooked by the thing, I am. My undergraduate study was pathogenic microbiology. I've handled pathogenic bacteria a fair amount but you don't touch anything like this outside a Class 4 containment facility, it's that nasty.
Thanks, click click, just ordered it !
