yup I do know
During the BUsh II Regime (won't dignify it with callign it an "Administration", ick), they massively expanded the USA's biowarfare research system.
Now, it's sensible to have a modicum of defence research on such, but it's well know that the more labs you have, more risk of accident so quite quickly you end up more at risk from your own labs than an enemy!
and also, for defence you don't actually need that many labs
So the USA's massive expansion sent off alarm bells with even NATO partners publicly noting that such expansion cannot be explained by the need for "defencive" research ie, even to allies, that was obviously a bloody offensive weapon research expansion.

Between 2002 and 2009, approximately 400 facilities and 15,000 people were handling biological weapons agents in sites throughout the country, in many cases unbeknownst to the local community. The marathon to spend nearly $60 billion since 2002 on biological weapons research has raised serious concerns for numerous scientists and informed public critics. Among these are:
During the Rhodesia era, there was a massive increase in anthrax cases, vastly higher than the norm, pretty obvious that the Rhodesians were using anthrax as a bioweapon against the insurgents.
And then go investigate the links that had to the USA especially after Rhodesia fell....and then to the terorrist anthrax attacks in USA....
Mmmmmmm....
Personally I believe that "they" want anthrax to eradicate "troublesome people". Insurgency wouldn't be an issue if you could just "sterlize" large areas of "uneeded Humans". After all, all they want, are the resources, oil, rare earths etc, not the people.
That was the real nazi goal of "Liebensraum" as well, they couldn't get at the colonial resources France and britian ahd grabbed, so they planned to take voer Eastern Europe/Russia and completely extermiante all the "Slavic" peoples, from Poland to Siberia, about 250 million people
US under Bush also torpedoed biological and Chemical Warfare treaties in the UN!
There's no excuse for that save you want to build and expand your own arsenal of such...

Military got out of such foul weapons because, from a military stand point, they aren't much use.
Nuclear biological and chemical wepaons are best against civilians, not military
they are too expensive and dangerous to store, far far less cost effective than modern "smart" munitions.
For example the "skeet" tank killer cluster bomb does the same job as a "neutron bomb" but at a fraction of the cost and no worries on radioactivity or triggering a nuclear war
So, the
military do not need and do not want Weapons of Mass Destruction (that is, true WMD, not car bombs or other idiocy some twerps want classed as WMD, jeesh)
But, if you are an ammoral SOB who wants to grab other nation's resoruces or, exterminate your own populations "rebels"
Another issue is the methodology/idealogy of NATO vs Warsaw pact WMD
Simplistically, NATO wanted ability to destroy an enemies economic or effective ability to do things where as Warsaw pact just wanted to kill
This meant US/UK spent more time researching
disabling, sickening agents, crop blights and so on, than mere mass murder tools.
The problem with that is obvious though....see Lyme Disease.
And of course you had the whole massive system of propaganda and mass manipulation BOTH sides had during COld War. Uk was sick with secrecy, only Albania and North Korea were worse.
CIA murdered a high ranking US officer to prevent him exposing the vile tests they had been doing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Olson
Those systems slowly blended with corporate/government DESIRES/interests after end of COld War.
Psychological warfare is a much greater threat than nukes, as sane folk don't use nukes, but riled up mad and ineptly led folk, do....
Thus, all the tools were at hand to "bury" the reality of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and Gulf War Syndrome and others.
Combined with the idiocy of the bureacratic mind/systems (blind moles only seeing their own burrow ahead, pushing their excrement on those behind...as Alex has noted they only care about THEIR bailiwick and to hell with consequences outside)
The populace is stupified with cheap drugs, legal and illegal, hell it pays in many ways to allow and control, to villify the illegal drug trade. ou get an udnerclass to revile and scare the voters, slaves ot use in concentration camps and a greta way to bank roill your "black ops"
And populace stupified with idiot TV and controlled media
"Big Brother" is NOT some Soviet horror, they couldn't organize a p**s up in a brewery compared ot the web of
self serving interests needed ot build the blanket of stiffling excrement that enfolds so called Western Democracy :/
left, Right, religion, science whatever, we always turn 'em into nightmares.
msot people cannot see such, they laugh at such, because they are small minded, frightened, stupid, because they do not have the courage to put their head above the parapet and look and think for themselves.
I do not note UFO issue becuase I'm crazy, but because it's perfect example of all this, look at how the media always makes a joke of such...so average person will always regard such as a joke and be afraid to ever support it in case they themselves are laughed at, one of the absolute msot feared things we Humans have in our psyches.
This is know, this is deliberate
social engineering
And who the hell do folk think comes up with such psychological warfare manipulation?
Why, unethical psychologists and psychiatrists working for the Ministry of Defence and Department of Defence (and Russian, Chinese etc counterparts)
I'm sorry but your children, grandchilden may well suffer damage from organophosphates, and other related chemicals form crop sprays to plastic bottles, and our system will lie out it's ass to cover that up, as they have done with depleted urnaium, asbestos, coal dust and other issues going way back.
Vaccines could be horrendous slaughter ansd they'd still cover that up, $50 billion a year profit and ways to target mark and maim if they ever need to
see Paksitani doctor CIA used to pinpoint Bin laden, ya all think that was a coincidence that they had such ability and misued a doctor that way, hm? if you wish to economically ruin an ecnomic enemy, say US vs China, how do you think they'd spread disabling diseases?
Global Warming will trigger apocalyptic conflicts where your governemnt will tell you one day "
We either get rid of all these brown/moslem/hindu/christian or whatever people, or they will take all your food!", and they will just coincidentally happen to have just the right kind of short lived anthrax, in huge amounts, to do so.
And so on, and so forth.
.
Doesn't take some mythical
Illuminati, just many self serving assholes, blinkered bastards, backs being scratched in a web, a tsunami in fact, of suicidal idiocy, and a populace too gutless, to besotted with "the opiate of consumerism" that they won't do anything.
ME raises too many questions, threatens the authority, the
imperial might the government demands...so, it goes away...
And anyone who doubts that, go read up on Camelford, they were quite happy to let thousands perish from a particularly horrible death, rather than merely admit it and provide treatment, and covered that up to this very day, denying Public Inquiries by BOTH major politicla parties
And WHO published another bit of "
flim flam dont' look at the little man behind the curtain" propaganda to hide that atrocity? Oh would happen to be Weasel #1, would it?
And who also does the Weasel #1 work for, why the Ministry of Defence!

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
