Here's the skinny on viruses. I researched this for about two hours. Did you? No arguments, I will presume. I'm not going to bore you with their physical make-up. I will say they can't be seen with the naked eye and they don't have the ability to replicate themselves as bacterium do. They have to attack a cell in the body of the host and use the cells replicating process, to put in elementary terms, to duplicate themselves. The infected cells DNA and/or RNA are a factor.

Hemmorrhagic Fever Viruses, HFV's are transmitted to humans via contact with infected animals. As a BIOLOGICAL weapon the HFV's, Ebola, and the Marburg Virus, just to name a few, can be dispersed by way of aerosol dissemination and could cause large outbreaks. The small particle aerosol dissemination would be the method of choice to be used in biological weaponry by terrorists.

HFV's have been developed by Russia and the USA. Yellow Fever may have been weaponized by NORTH KOREA, according to my research. Russia has produced large quantities of Marburg, Ebola, and Lassa Virus up until 1992. Russian researches found that aerosol infectivity of the Marburg Virus needed only a few virions to cause infection in monkeys. Yellow Fever and Rift Fever were developed by the USA as weapons and then the program was terminated in 1969.

In 1999, the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) classified the HFV's as Category A bio-weapons agents, based on the potential to cause wide spread illnesses and death, ease of dissimination, or person to person transmission.

Here's the scary part!! "CROP DUSTERS" could be used to spread the above mentioned viruses. "Dusted Spinach" could be a big problem. Tainted onions would cause chaos.  According to the source of the research, it is the most elementary, the easiest way, to spread the viruses. I'm sure the USA and Russia have more extensive methods of spreading the viruses via a biological weapon. It just has to be air-borne and infect a few people.

Before symptoms occur the exposed person(s) can infect many other people and...BAM!!...OUTBREAK!! Remember the movie with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, and Kevin Spacey? That's what a virus used as weapon could do. So, now you have a limited knowledge of viruses as a weapon.

Oh, by the way, two years ago a Piper PA-25 Pawnee crop-duster was stolen in MEXICO. The TSA said the theft was cause for concern. They said past info they had suggested that Al Qa'ida may have planned or may still be planning to disperse biological and chemical agents from crop-dusters!! Adnan Shukrijumah was still being hunted along the Mexican/USA border. Shukrijumah, who researched crop-dusting, has been linked to Zacarius Moussaoui, Jose Padilla and Al Qa'ida's dirty bomb plot. Another coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. Five other suspected terrorists took a course on...yep..you guessed it...how to fly and operate crop-dusters.

So, as you can plainly see, viruses can be converted into a form that could be dispersed by CROP-DUSTERS!! Ebola, the Hanta Virus, and Yellow Fever. Take the thought one more step. I'm of the opinion that terrorists are "testing" the waters with e-coli bacteria. Popeye's main staple tainted with e-coli caused, what, 4 dead and 200 sick? If that was one of the above-mentioned viruses, millions would have been dead or dying. I think our food chain is being probed for future biological events. Compromise a country's food chain and you will have little or no resistance from a dead or dying population as you waltz in and take over the land. But, I'm sure if I thought of this our "protectors" are right on top of it, too. Let's hope.

In Pompano Beach, where I lived, a neighbor was dating a middle-eastern 25 year old man. He was unemployed but told me he was seeking employment at the Water Treatment Plant in our area. He disappeared right before 9/11 and the FBI came to my neighbors house, confiscated his computer, personal belongings, and auto. I called National Homeland Security and asked if they knew of this event. They said yes and that it was a good thing he didn't get the job at the Water Plant. Be aware of your surroundings. Don't focus all of your attention on ILLEGAL ALIENS from Mexico. That middle-eastern looking family in your neighborhood? Do you really know who they are? Is it just a coincidence that 75% of the convenience store/gas stations all over the country are owned and operated by people other than Americans. I have more info on that, too. Another article? You bet!!

Research these viruses as I did, or just remember what the infected people in the movie OUTBREAK looked like. It's enough to make you vomit.
