Go to just about any feed store in texas and you can buy all the antibiotics you want,along with the syringes you need to inject them.I have a bottle of penecilian in my fridge right now I use to help my animals when they get sick.

As for the botulinum toxin problem, if it is that easy to poison rivers with it effectively, why hasn't any nut (not even Arab, but a pissed off biology student mad at life) done it yet?

Remember, stuff DILUTES in water folks. Dumping a bucket of botulinum toxin into the local big-ass water supply won't cut it. We're talking multiple tanker trucks full of the stuff. And pray that it doesn't get killed during cholrinization and water treatment.

One would only hope THAT sort of thing would draw WAY too much attention. Especially if we keep guards posted at the resevoirs.

I went back to sleep.

I have book marked this so I can scare myself again later. Thanks. ;9)

Knowledge is a good thing and allows one to have at least a small measure of control over his fate (although God has the ultimate control).

So true...I just loaned my friend my copy of Nuclear War Survival Skills yesterday as he was interested in building a shelter for his family. I printed out the book for Y2K and three-ring bound it with dividers. Lots of good info there.

Anybody else remember all of those odd outbreaks of West Nile Fever in the NYC area over the past few years?

I remember wondering at the time if it was some sort of abortive bioterror attack. Now I'm really wondering.

I am not an epidemiologist by any means, but it seems rather a strange disease to suddenly appear on the East Coast- several times, IIRC. Is there any repository online of weird disease outbreak data nationwide over say, the last 10 years that we might have a gander at?

Please, help out an ignorant tyro in this matter: What the heck is fyi?

[logos]

fyi = "for your information"

I would have thought you would know that.

I operated and maintained a chemical and biological pulse generator for the US Army in a chemical warfare company for a number of my 6 years in the military service.

This type of warfare is so easy and inexpensive to do. Even a regular vehicle can easily be converted into a chemical/biological generator, but I won't give specifics.

Nita...to your antibiotic list, add 'your local farmer supply store'. Many of the meds for animals are the same used for humans. Our personal med cabinet contains meds for the family AND for the assorted critters we own. I was also told that the animal meds are MORE closely scrutinized for 'purity' since they are often used for edible animals.

About the gas mask issue. For OUR family that's pretty hopeless. EVEN cheaper than dirt makes it financially impossible with 9 in the family. I'm SURE there are others in the same boat. Maybe this is wrong thinking, but shouldn't the govt be doing something along those lines of protecting us little people?

[tacticalogic]

The UN, FedGov, and the liberal left's agenda to keep as much of the country in wilderness, and the population herded into as little space as possible isn't helping this situation one bit. The effectivness of biological warfare probably increases geometrically with population density in a given area.

Re: Post # 34

I believe there is two strains of another deadly biological that needs to be included on the list.....HRC2004 and HRC2008

[Jefferson Adams]

What the heck is fyi?

It's "for your information."

But what is IIRC?

[Steve0113]

But what is IIRC?

IIRC = "if I recall correctly"

[Robert Lomax]

If they use this shit then we should bomb mecca (no capitalization intentional).

[EmmaPeel]

Thanks for your words, but don't even think TWICE about posting information that can help people. I'm a big believer in information dispersement...you're helping people with your posts. I just got really worked up in the dark by myself last night, and my anxiety got the best of me. I want to thank you personally for sharing such important and necessary information. I don't want to live the dark; knowledge is light. God Bless America

I didn't want to start a whole new thread on crop dusters. I think if I hear the word crop duster on tv again, my head will explode. Apparently without too much else to report, crop dusters have become a new media buzz word. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, LOOK, FROM FOX...

They are flying again... Unless of course, someone changes there mind tomorrow :) You can go to the FOX site to read the whole thing, if you'd like.

Shortly after midnight Monday, the duty officer at the FAA in Washington confirmed the ban was being lifted, first with the Eastern Time Zone.

"At five minutes after, the ban is being lifted in each time zone," said the officer, who did not give his name.

In a way it's good the media pounced on it but in another way it did create some unnecessary fear. I think the threats are being addressed and the choices of the terrorists are being diminished. However, I'm not resting easy. Yet.

[Cascadians]

Thanks for the ping *gulp*

Will hotlink to this muy doomer thread.

Too bad this unimaginable nightmare has become a reality watch :_(
