Summary of FTR#472—(Note: The massive
volume of “For The Record” programs about 9/11 and related topics is summarized
and analyzed in the periodically-updated description for FTR#391. FTR#’s 454, 455, 456 are
compilations of much of the key documentation culled from Mr. Emory’s investigation
into 9/11. Along with FTR#391, they should give
listeners/readers a substantive grasp of this momentous event. It is
recommended that listeners use this description and e-mail it to others. Also:
The book “Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile” is
available at About Paul Manning. In addition,
the professional history of the late Paul Manning, the book’s author, is
presented in the description About Paul Manning.
This enables listeners to acquaint others with Mr. Manning’s journalistic
credentials. Key material from the book is synopsized in an extended
description for FTR#305. Understanding the
Bormann organization is essential to comprehending the concept of “the
Underground Reich.”) Taking a break from
coverage of the events in and around 9/11, this broadcast brings up to date two
paths of inquiry covered in past programs—the subject of AIDS as a possible
biological warfare weapon and the Port Chicago explosion of 1944. (For more
about AIDS as a biological warfare weapon, see—among other programs—RFA#16—available
from Spitfire—as well as FTR#’s 4, 11, 19, 24, 25, 35, 56, 73, 76, 102, 132,
140, 148, 156, 212, 220, 225, 229, 269, 282, 316, 324. For more
about the Port Chicago Explosion, see—among other programs—Miscellaneous Archive Show M23—available from Spitfire—as
well as FTR#’s 129, 163, 444.) The research presented here
reinforces the working hypotheses about AIDS and Port Chicago—that both were
man-made events and not the accidents as which they are usually portrayed.
Program Highlights Include: Proof that people of Northern European extraction (“Aryans”) contain a
gene that provides immunity to infection by the AIDS virus; proof that no other
races contain this gene; discussion of the implications of this finding;
projections by German power brokers working in conjunction with the Underground
Reich that Africa would be an area of major interest to Germans and other
Northern Europeans as a potential target for colonization; scientific evidence
of a “radiation plume” in Suisun Bay that may have derived from Port Chicago;
discussion of the possible utility for terrorists of the Mark II device
apparently used at Chicago.
1.
Beginning discussion of the gene providing people of Northern European
extraction with immunity from the AIDS virus, the program highlights the CCR5
(Delta 32) gene’s role in providing some people with immunity from bubonic
plague. (Bubonic plague infects hosts in a manner not altogether dissimilar
with the manner in which the AIDS virus infects and destroys its victims.) “ . . . In
September 1665, George Viccars, a tailor in the small, central-England village
of Eyam, received a parcel of cloth ridden with plague-infected fleas from
London. Four days later, Viccars died. By the end of the month, five more
villagers had succumbed to the plague. The panicked town turned to their
rector, William Mompesson, who persuaded them to quarantine the entire village
to prevent the bacterium from spreading throughout the region. It seemed like
suicide. A year later, the first outsiders ventured into Eyam, expecting a
ghost town. Yet, miraculously, half the town had survived. How did so many
villagers live through the most devastating disease known to man?” (“Secrets
of the Dead—Case File: Mystery of the Black Death; Background”; Secrets of the Dead; p. 1; accessed at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_plague/p_index.html
.)
2.
“Local Eyam lore
tells befuddling stories of plague survivors who had close contact with the
bacterium but never caught the disease. Elizabeth Hancock buried six children
and her husband in a week, but never became ill. The village gravedigger
handled hundreds of plague-ravaged corpses, but survived as well. Could these
people have somehow been immune to the Black Death?” (Idem.)
3.
“Dr. Stephen
O’Brien of the National Institutes of Health in Washington D.C. suggests they
were. His work with HIV and the mutated form of the gene CCR, called ‘delta
32,’ led him to Eyam. In 1996, research showed that delta32 prevents HIV from
entering human cells and infecting the body. O’Brien thought this principle
could be applied to the plague bacteria, which affects the body in a similar
manner. To determine whether the Eyam plague survivors may have carried delta
32, O’Brien tested the DNA of their modern-day descendents. What he found out
was startling . . .” (Idem.)
4.
“For a
disease-causing microorganism to infect the human body there must be a gateway
or portal through which it enters into human cells. The plague bacterium works
this way, hijacking the white blood cells sent to eliminate it. Traveling
inside the white blood cells to the lymph nodes, the bacteria break out and
attack the focal point of the human immune system. Dr. Stephen O’Brien felt
that the mutated CCR5 gene, delta 32, may have prevented the plague from being
able to enter its host’s white blood cells.” (“Secrets of the Dead—Case File: Mystery of
the Black Death; Clues and Evidence”; Secrets
of the Dead; p. 1; accessed at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_plague/p_clues.html
.)
5.
“Eyam provided
O’Brien an ideal opportunity to test this theory. Specifically, Eyam was an
isolated population known to have survived a plague epidemic. Everyone in the
town would have been exposed to the bacterium, so it’s likely that any
life-saving genetic trait would have been exposed to the bacterium, so it’s
likely that any life-saving genetic trait would have been possessed by each of
these survivors. ‘Like a Xerox machine,’ says O’Brien, ‘their gene frequencies
have been replicated for several generations without a lot of infusion from
outside,’ thus providing a viable pool of survivor-descendants who would have
inherited such a trait. . . .” (Idem.)
6.
“ . . . DNA
samples could only be collected from direct descendents of the plague
survivors. DNA is the principle component of chromosomes, which carry the genes
that transmit hereditary characteristics. We inherit our DNA from our parents,
thus Eyam resident Joan Plant, for instance, may have inherited the delta 32
mutation from one of her ancient relatives. Plant can trace her mother’s
lineage back ten generations to the Blackwell siblings, Francis and Margaret,
who both lived through the plague to the turn of the century. The next step was
to harvest a DNA sample from Joan and the other descendants. DNA is found in
the nuclei of cells. The amount is constant in all typical cells, regardless of
the size or function of that cell. One of the easiest methods of obtaining a
DNA tissue sample is to take a cheek or buccal swab.” (Idem.)
7.
Note that no other ethnic groups or races have the delta 32 gene that
prevents infection by HIV. “After three weeks of testing at University College in
London, delta 32 had been found in 14% of the samples. This is a genetically
significant percentage, yet what, really, did it mean? Could the villagers have
inherited delta 32 from elsewhere, residents who had moved to the community in
the 350 years since the plague? Was this really a higher percentage than
anywhere else? To find out, O’Brien assembled an international team of
scientists to test for the presence of delta 32 around the world. ‘Native
Africans did not have delta 32 at all,’ O’Brien says, ‘and when we looked at
East Asians and Indians, they were also flat zero.’ In fact the levels of delta
32 found in Eyam were only matched in regions of Europe that had been affected
by the plague and in America, which was, for the most part, settled by European
plague survivors and their descendants.” (Idem.)
8.
“Meanwhile,
recent work with another disease strikingly similar to the plague, AIDS,
suggests O’Brien was on the right track. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,
tricks the immune system in a similar manner as the plague bacterium, targeting
and taking over white blood cells. Virologist Dr. Bill Paxton at the Aaron
Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City noticed, ‘the center had no study
of people who were exposed to HIV but who had remained negative.’ He began
testing the blood of high-risk, HIV-negative individuals like Steve Crohn,
exposing their blood to three thousand times the amount of HIV normally needed
to infect a cell. Steve’s blood never became infected. ‘We thought maybe we had
infected the culture with bacteria or whatever,’ says Paxton. ‘So we went back
to Steve. But it was the same result. We went back again and again. Same
result.’ Paxton began studying Crohn’s DNA, and concluded there was some sort
of blocking mechanism preventing the virus from binding to his cells. Further
research showed that that mechanism was delta 32. Scientists studying HIV first
learned about the gateway-blocking capacity of the CCR5 mutation in 1996.
Several drug companies, then, quickly began exploring the possibility of
developing pharmaceuticals that would mimic delta 32 by binding to CCR5 and
blocking the attachment of HIV. . . .” (Ibid.; pp. 1-2.)
9.
The devastating implications of the findings discussed above were
eloquently presented in an online editorial: “This is the nightmare of AIDS no one wants to
believe. As we come closer to celebrating, on December 1, yet another World
AIDS Day, let’s take a good hard look at what’s really going on before we pour more of our ever diminishing hard
earned money down yet another horrendous sinkhole. It has been found that some
Caucasians who have tested positive for the HIV virus were found to take a very
long time to actually develop ‘full-blown’ AIDS (as they call it). It has since
been discovered (since 1997) that 20% of European Caucasians have the so-called
‘Aryan’ genetic disposition. If both your parents, in other words, are of Aryan
descent, it appears you can never die of AIDS even though you might be
infected.” (“Aryan Genes Immune to Death from AIDS” by
geminiwalker_ink; p. 1; accessed at: http://geminiwalker-ink.net/ARYAN%20AIDS%20IMMUNITY.html
.)
10.
“The reason for
this is in the genetic coding of the killer T-cells, which are part of the
body’s immune system protective shield. These are the cells that are attacked
by the HIV retrovirus. The location of the attack has been discovered. It is on
the CCR5 gene in the 3rd DNA gene pair. The particular location is
the Delta 32 RECEPTOR SITE. If either of your DNA pairs (from either your
mother or your father) is DELTA 32 POSITIVE then the HIV virus can attach
itself at that point. If you are DELTA 32 NEGATIVE then HIV just floats around
in your blood harmlessly for you.” (Idem.)
11.
“But even though
you may be DELTA 32 NEGATIVE at both sites, you can supposedly still spread the
virus. What has been discovered is that these 20% of European Caucasians are
members of the Aryan gene pool. Also it has been discovered that the farther
north you go in Europe, say in Norway, Finland, Sweden, etc., you find the
highest percentage of people that are DELTA 32 NEGATIVE at the CCR5 gene
allele.” (Idem.)
12.
“That this
would be a simple coincidence is beyond all human reason. To say that HIV
suddenly crawled out of the woodwork in Central Africa by someone being bitten
by a green tree monkey is one thing. But then to say that the only human gene
pool on Earth that is immune to HIV is the Aryan Race is a coincidence that
even Howdy Doody wouldn’t buy.” (Idem.)
13.
“What we are
looking at is a genocide perpetrated on racial groups of the world that makes
the Nazi Holocause look like Romper Room. Add to that the global trafficking in
drugs that specifically targets minorities, the poor, and people of color, and
while it may not look like the holocaust during WWII, it doesn’t have to. The
AIDS epidemic isn’t a mysterious virulogical disease, it is calculated murder.
And a genocide that is beyond human comprehension. And since it is the
venerated Aryan Race that is immune to it, then one has to assume that they are
the ones who promulgated it.” (Ibid.; p. 2.)
14.
“Of course, one
shouldn’t assume anything, so we will continue to explore this terribly
distressing theory as evidence presents itself. This disease has the ability to
wipe all of humanity off the earth. If it is true that everyone is at risk,
that HIV is sexually transmitted and that mothers and children are most at
risk, half the population would be gone already—in one generation. That,
clearly, isn’t happening. But something else is. . . .” (Idem.)
15.
With Africa among the areas most profoundly threatened by the virus and
with Third Reich alumni implicated in the development of AIDS (see the programs
discussed above), it is interesting to view Germany’s (and Northern Europe’s)
plans for Africa as a major focal point for colonialization. Could HIV be the
“Aryan” infection that will facilitate the task of subjugating Africa? The
person quoted here is Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of
Germany, quoted in a 1950 article. “ ‘ . . . A federated Europe will become a Third Force in
the world, not as strong as Russia or the United States, but powerful enough to
intervene successfully—in a decisive moment—to safeguard the peace . . .
Germany has again become a factor with whom others will have to reckon in international
affairs . . . There is also a long-range economic goal: the colonization of
Africa . . . If we Europeans colonize Africa, we create at the same time a
supplier of raw materials for Europe which will be of the greatest
importance.’” (Germany Plots
with the Kremlin; by T.H. Tetens; Copyright 1953 [HC] by Henry Schuman,
Inc.; p. 16.)
16.
Next, the program switches focus from AIDS to the Port Chicago
explosion. (Veteran listeners should note that Peter Vogel’s online book about
Port Chicago is no longer available for free on the Internet. Researchers must
now pay for the book.) Discussion begins with a letter home written in July of
1944 by an officer stationed at Port Chicago. “ . . . Did the late Richard Rendleman,
Salisbury businessman, legendary golfer and good friend to all who knew him,
see the first atomic bomb blast during World War II? Not on Hiroshima. On U.S.
soil at the Navy’s Port Chicago on the California coast where he was stationed
during World War II. ‘There’s not only a reasonably credible hypothesis that
it’s possible,’ says his son, Dr. Dick Rendleman, finance professor at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, ‘but there’s also documentation
that it could have happened.’” (“Did He See First Atomic Explosion?”
by Rose Post; Salisbury Post;
5/31/2004; p. 1; accessed at: http://salisburypost.townnews.com/articles/2004/05/31/lifestyle/31-1_ww2-rendlemn.prt
.)
17.
“ . . . Peter
Vogel, author of ‘The Last Wave from Port Chicago,’ has worked on this,
Rendleman says, for 20 years, ‘and he believes it was actually the first atom
bomb explosion. The Hiroshima bomb did eventually go through Port Chicago.
People from the Los Alamos labs were on the scene the morning after this
explosion. And there were all sorts of other documents that led Vogel to
believe it was the first atom bomb. . . . Nobody has ever been able to say what
really happened that night. ‘There is speculation,’ Margaret Styles says. ‘No
hard core proof. Some believe it was actually an experiment’ with an atom bomb.
. . .” (Ibid.;
p. 2.)
18.
Highlighting a key point of debate with regard to the Port Chicago
explosion (the presence/lack of residual radiation), the program presents
information (from a skeptical observer) that reinforces Peter Vogel’s working
hypothesis. “As
of the week this is being written, it’s been 60 years since the accident at
Port Chicago on July 17, 1944, where a munitions ship exploded. The explosion
was so large that some myths and urban legends claim it was a nuclear accident,
10 months earlier than the Trinity test. This web page is about my effort to
collect real data on background radiation levels in the area with a mobile
Geiger counter data collection system. Then the point is to see if the urban
legends still hold water. . . .” (“Background Radiation Measurements
near Port Chicago” by Ian Kluft; p. 1; accessed at: http://kluft.com/~ikluft/pc44/
.)
19.
In evaluating the significance of the information that follows, it is
important to understand that the author of this document was openly dismissive
of Peter Vogel’s hypothesis. “ . . . Whatever the story, I’m not into conspiracy
theories. The ‘leaps of logic’ typically found in them are annoying at best,
and serious misinformation at worst. Most are written to sound convincing and
can take in a large audience. The best-known example in this case is an online
book released in 2002, The Last Wave from
Port Chicago by Peter Vogel as an accumulation of his earlier research. . .
.” (Ibid.; p. 3.)
20.
After discussing the equipment and methodology he used to test for
residual radiation at Port Chicago, Kluft presents an account of his 7/15/2004
expedition to Grizzly Island State Wildlife Area. “ . . . Once off the paved road and driving
on the levee on Grizzly Island, I was able to turn the screen so I could glance
at the data collection. The highest number I saw here was 15uR/hr, which is
definitely not normal. What I didn’t notice until reviewing the data at home
was that the highest number at Grizzly Island was actually 17 uR/hr. There’s at
least a 2 mile stretch along Grizzly Island Road with these abnormally-high
levels. (Though these numbers are not dangerous, I only took them from on the
road, which is made from imported materials. Levels could be different off the
road. So Grizzly Island could use an inspection by experts.) . . . Travis [Air Force Base] seems to be
ruled out as the source of the radiation on Grizzly Island, the Potrero Hills
and the Montezuma Hills because there is no evidence of a plume leading there .
. .” (Ibid.; p. 6.)
21.
The author presents his conclusions, all the more significant because
of his overt skepticism of Vogel’s working hypothesis. “ . . . CONCLUSIONS: The Grizzly Island data
is disturbing. With the new data collected on July 15, it looks like I’ve
discovered a possible 2-mile wide radioactive plume, which faces Port Chicago.
The nuclear accident theory at Port Chicago isn’t looking so far-fetched any
more. But it certainly still isn’t proven by a long shot either. The 2-mile
stretch has large patches of 13-17 uR/hr readings. 10-12 is about normal
background, the highest you’d expect in most cities. (That’s at sea level.
Average background is higher with more elevation.) Back on the July 11 drive,
one possibility was that the elevated readings could be something natural in
the Montezuma Hills, possibly granite rocks or something else in the ground
there. But now we see it’s also on the flats and marshes at the shore of the
Bay. So we can rule out a geological cause linked to the hills. It certainly
isn’t just in the hills. . . . So just like on July 11, the highest background
radiation readings on the July 15 drive were at the point closest to the Port
Chicago accident location, now only 5 miles from it. And it’s in a direction
that would be normally downwind on a clear summer night in this area. I found
both sides of the higher-background area, and the shape continues to match that
of a northeast-bound plume from Port Chicago, or shipping on Suisun Bay in
front of the base. . . .If we ask ‘what happened there?’ the July 17, 1944
explosion has to be included on the list. I can’t ignore the coincidence that
the measured elevated radiation is in the place it would have to be if the
nuclear accident scenario was true. That doesn’t prove it’s true, but if
confirmed it would take away an objection many of us had about it. Namely that
no one knew of any radiation in the area. . . . The area that we found elevated
background [radiation] appears to me like it’s parallel to the direction of the
runways (wind direction), and lined up with Port Chicago. That was the thing
that startled me most when I noticed it. . . .” (Ibid.; pp. 6-8.)
22.
Another Internet posting by an observer openly critical (at first) of
Vogel’s hypothesis calls attention to the potential danger posed by the
acquisition and use by a terrorist group of a Mark II-type weapon. (That was
the device apparently used at Port Chicago.) It is to be hoped that US intelligence agencies are factoring the Mark
II/Port Chicago eventuality into their planning for terrorism. “ . . . Assuming that it [Port Chicago explosion] happened
about as Vogel has documented, the most alarming thing about this incident to
me (aside from the shameless coverup) is that the Mark II weapon contained only
about five kilograms of moderately enriched fuel, and it used that fuel
inefficiently. But that was enough to cause major damage! There are perhaps 300
university or govm’t research reactors worldwide that contain this much fuel,
many with even higher enrichment. Scary thought.” (“Nuclear
Terrorism on US Soil” by Jones Beene; p. 2; accessed at: http://www.escribe.com/science/vortex/m31117.html
)
23.
The author makes the central point of his presentation: “The sad news for
the future of terrorism on US soil is that even when such a crude bomb is
detonated—as ‘inefficient’ and poorly designed as it was—and even if only one
percent of the fuel actually fissions, the results can be devastating. A second
chorus of sad news derives from the fact that CF [Cold Fusion] and LENR do in
fact relate closely to this kind of weapons technology, which was patented, by
the way. And it is probably for this precise reason that progress in the CF
field has been squashed and officially ignored (because if officials had
actually intervened 15 years ago, then that would have been a ‘give-away’ as to
the real underlying motivation).” (Idem.)
24.
“If you read
the whole document, you will probably realize that they key patent, now
expired, which describes how and why moderately enriched Uranium deuteride is
able to work at all as a bomb (and most experts will tell you straight-faced
that it will not work) was held by no other than who else . . . MIT. The very
folks who doctored their own early results to show that CF was just . .
.pathological science. I think that I now understand why they chose those
words: pathological science.” (Idem.)
25.
“There are two
well documented ‘smoking guns’ here, which defy all attempts at explanation. 1)
Two high ranking officials from Los Alamos National Laboratory appeared in Port
Chicago in 1944, an out-of-the way backwater port that would have taken days to
drive to, in a time when there were no commercial flights, the morning after an
explosion that occurred after 10 the evening before, and had not even made the
national newspapers—despite the fact that there was absolutely no apparent
reason for the involvement of a secret lab which supposedly had its hands-full
with unrelated important research. Obviously they had been there for some time,
for some reason.” (Ibid.; pp. 2-3.)
26.
“2) About 500
pages of classified documents are admittedly held in the LANL archives, despite
the act that there was officially no nuclear material at Port Chicago, nor had
there ever been. . . nor was the place remotely related to anything they were
doing . . . except that it was the ideal testing ground for understanding a
water based delivery system of the type that could have been used, had the
fortunes of war turned against us.” (Ibid.; p. 3.)
