I had a spanish friend worked for pharma, he swore that Glaxo Smith Cline sprayed "stuff" up in high mountainonus villages in Spanish countryside. Then they would check what would happen to the villagers. I found it hard to believe in this then. I thought that he was a bit funny. But now, I definitely would believe.
well, Spain was ruled for years by Franco, so wouldn't surprise me if
in those days, he allowed bio chem warfare testing on his own people by US/UK "spooks" (via their obligatory "circuit breaker/deniability" front companies) in return for money or armaments,
as that kind of crap DID go on (with "less lethal" agents such as LSD, Q Fever, Lyme Disease etc)
in more recent times...doubt anyone has the balls to do it but, hey it's not impossible
Dunno if GSK produces OP pesticides (as they have so many companies now) but those chemicals are hell on wheels nasty, basically weakened nerve gas hut with catastrophic effects on Human health (immune, endocrine and nervous systems in particular).
so there'll be lot of interest in them for various reasons, be it legitimate defence concerns (for example after 9/11 the USA wisely clamped down on anyone flying around in a crop sprayer!),
or it could be "dodgy" weapon research,
or genuine research into something that merely appears suspicious,
or fake research to create data to deny any harm from one of their products
*anything* is possible when you have so much power and money
US has *enormous* bio chem
weapon research system, despite the lies it's damn well not about "defence"
no one has 300+ labs doing bio "defence" work, because every such lab you build increase risk of a severe accidental release thus making the scenario of an attack even more likely just
self inflicted hence any sane government only has at most a handful of such labs.
and it's just not credible to have such enormous numbers for purely defence research
(note that some of America's NATO partners came out in public and actually said that!)
And corporates aren't "national", GSK will work for whoever pays and they really do have enormous clout, more than even the oil companies except in a specific strategic sense
people need to be aware of the insanity and evil of the Cold War Nuclear Biological and Chemical weapon testing *all sides* got up to.
and fact that we only know a part of what the swine got up to, and that sometimes because the Government Accountability Office wondered where tax payer money was going etc and they couldn't hide it all in their "black books"!
