The Giuliani administration and the Center for Disease Control have been extremely deceptive about the real nature of the encephalitis epidemic they claim is sweeping New York City and about the massive aerial and ground spraying of toxic pesticides they,ve undertaken without the slightest public discussion or debate. The following theory is speculative in nature but the U.S. government and corporate documents presented below are genuine and readily verifiable. Many similar documents, bio-tech companies and U.S. military contracts exist and can be found on the Internet, in public libraries and in the archives of corporations and governmental agencies. Consider the following:
 
An exotic new form of natural or man-made viral encephalitis sweeps the world and everyone suddenly has a life-or-death need for a new vaccine. The government or corporation that controlled that vaccine would have the power to decide who would live and who would die. According to a 9/29/99 Newsday article, Rockefeller University in Manhattan has been experimenting with West Nile Virus since the 1950,s.
 
The past few weeks have demonstrated that even New York City,s educated, highly skeptical and supposedly hip urban population can readily be led to believe it is in their interest to allow government agencies to repeatedly spray them with dangerous insecticides, to come to their door and collect routine blood samples or to inoculate them with a "life-saving vaccine.
 
A government agency or a corporation could have accidentally caused the epidemic by allowing a virus to escape from a laboratory such as the bio-warfare/animal virus lab at Plum Island NY. They also could have deliberately spread a virus as an experiment or may have simply used the media to create the illusion of a viral epidemic in order to justify immunizing large segments of the population with an experimental vaccine or to expose the population to whatever chemicals are actually being sprayed.
 
As a population downsizing initiative governmental agencies might try to manipulate the media to create the illusion of a viral epidemic in order to go door to door inoculating select individuals with disease. This could be done in order to eliminate certain segments of unwanted population. The door to door blood sampling and statistical surveys the CDC is currently conducting in Queens could very well be field testing for the results of a new bio-warfare or population control agent. While it may be horrifying to suggest such a plan it would not be that surprising a development in a City whose Mayor,s fame is based on the people he,s already gotten rid of and whose stated goals are to eliminate even more people in the future.
 
During Congressional hearings in 1994 [See Report by the U.S. Congress titled Examining Biological Experimentation on U.S. Military http://www.cco.net/~trufax/trans/roc1.html] the U.S. government admitted to more than 50 years of experimentation on hundreds of thousands of unknowing or deliberately misinformed American citizens. One can only guess what they,ve done to people in other nations. The placement by our government of a biological warfare and exotic animal virus laboratory just two miles off the tip of Long Island would seem to be ideally suited to use New York City,s enormous population consisting of every race and ethnicity in the world as experimental test subjects.
 
Eugenics, the science of improving the human race by selective breeding, genetic engineering and the sterilization or elimination of undesirable, diseased, handicapped or maladjusted humans has a long history in the U.S. and England and is still a key part of the population control policies of various United Nations and U.S. government agencies. The Nazis were directly influenced by the Eugenics movement in the U.S. which promoted forced sterilization, mandatory vaccinations and euthanasia among other "public health initiatives.
 
Titans of finance and industry like the Rockefellers and Fords saw Eugenics as a logical extension of industrial production and as a tool for social control that would insure economic stability and profits. They created world-renowned institutes and university endowments which have used humans as laboratory testing animals for most of this century and which are the ideological source of the exact social policies advanced in New York City by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. These same institutes and university programs are also the source of most of the scientific, economic and political "experts we see quoted in the media and on television.
 
While it may be very disturbing to contemplate the possibility that this so-called encephalitis crisis and the unprecedented spraying of Malathion on New York City is part of an insidious government plot, the history of such actions by our own government is long and very well documented. The media coverage of this "crisis has been exceptionally one-sided, basically depicting this issue as if there is no scientific or lay opposition to what is being done and what little opposition there is as being the work of what Mayor Giuliani calls, "hysterical environmental terrorists.
 
The following documents are intended to suggest the possibility that there is more going on here than you will read about in the daily newspapers.

[From: http://194.202.157.11/peptide/] [Peptide Therapeutics Group plc is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of novel vaccines and therapeutics. Its focus is primarily on disorders of the immune system and infectious diseases. It is based in Cambridge, UK and, following the recent acquisition of OraVax, Inc. also has operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It has seven products in clinical trials and several pre-clinical and research programmes underpinned by five proprietary technology platforms. ts mission is to build a profitable biopharmaceutical company by discovering novel vaccines and therapeutics and developing these products through collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies.]
 
Product Portfolio: Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine Peptide is developing a vaccine for the prevention of Japanese encephalitis viral infections using its ChimeriVax(tm) technology. JE is a potentially fatal neurotropic viral infection common in Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, India and Thailand. The World Health Organisation has identified the development of safer and less expensive vaccines against JE as a high priority, which should ensure its use in endemic regions. In addition, a safer vaccine that requires only a single dose for immunisation would better meet the needs of travellers and the military. Safety and preclinical efficacy of the JE vaccine has been demonstrated in pre-clinical studies. a Phase I trial is scheduled to commence by the end of 1999 [Note the cooincidence of the date cooinciding with this epidemic].
 
PMC [Peptide Therapeutics Group] has been granted a worldwide licence to the ChimeriVax(tm) technology for the development of vaccines against JE (and tick borne encephalitis), in return for PMC funding all future research and development costs and agreeing to pay OraVax milestone payments and royalties on sales of licensed product.

Newsday Area Labs Have Long Studied Virus / Yale, Rockefeller began tests in '50s 09-29-1999 page A28 "Epidemiologists suspect that the West Nile virus has for the first time been isolated in humans or animals in the Western Hemisphere, but the virus has for decades made its home in several U.S. research laboratories, including Rockefeller University in Manhattan and Yale University in New Haven, Conn. In fact, investigators there were the first to grow and study the West Nile virus in the United States. The work began in the 1950s when unidentified viral samples from around the world arrived at Rockefeller on a steady basis.
 
"There's no point in not spraying, because there's no harm in spraying. So even if we're overdoing it, there's no risk to anyone in overdoing it...The more dead mosquitoes," he added, "the better. I don't think the media should try to push this out of proportion. NY Times 9/10/99
 
A 5/12/97 NY Times feature on the Manhattan Institute titled, "Turning Intellect Into Influence; the Manhattan Institute Has Nudged New York Rightward, states, "The Manhattan Institute was an early proponent of shrinking city government; it enabled Charles Murray to publish the 1984 book that many people believe begat welfare reform, and it promoted theories about crime and public disorder that later underlay the work of the former Police Commissioner, William J. Bratton. It took up the question of the quality of life in New York City in 1990, well before Mr. Giuliani made that a cornerstone of his successful election campaign in 1993. The institute has savaged open admissions al the City University of New York, pushed hospital privatization and aggressively promoted school choice. Now, its critique of rent control is helping to inform State Senator Joseph L. Bruno's move to phase out rent regulations, and its proposal for charter schools is circulating through legislative offices in Albany...Mr. Giuliani and his campaign staff began meeting with institute members in 1992, and since that time have absorbed many of its ideas, particularly on such issues as the city's tax structure, economic development, education policy, policing and quality of life.

Among hundreds of Rockefeller funded institutes and projects in the U.S., England and Germany that have been involved in promoting Eugenics, was the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity in Berlin. The head of that institute, Dr. Otmar Verschuer, was Josef Mengele,s patron, teacher and co-researcher. Another Rockefeller sponsored doctor and researcher, Dr. Franz Kallmann, helped save Verschuer after WWII by testifying favorably about his value to science during the U.S. government denazification hearings. Dr. Kallmann later created the American Society of Human Genetics, which organized the "Human Genome Project".

1994 Report by the U.S. Congress titled Examining Biological Experimentation on U.S. Military [See: http://www.cco.net/~trufax/trans/roc1.html] "During the last 50 years, hundreds of thousands of military personnel have been involved in human experimentation and other intentional exposures conducted by the Department of Defense (DOD), often without a servicemember's knowledge or consent. In some cases, soldiers who consented to serve as human subjects found themselves participating in experiments quite different from those described at the time they volunteered...The U.S. General Accounting Office issued a report on September 28, 1994, which stated that between 1940 and 1974, DOD and other national security agencies studied hundreds of thousands of human subjects in tests and experiments involving hazardous substances. (Note 65) GAO stated that some tests and experiments were conducted in secret. Medical research involving the testing of nerve agents, nerve agent antidotes, psychochemicals, and irritants was often classified. Additionally, some work conducted for DOD by contractors still remains classified today
