TB Guy’s Father-In-Law Is a CDC TB Expert
June 1st, 2007Imagine my shock.
Obviously, this entire thing is a bunch of bullshit intended to frighten you, at some point, into the arms of some crook with a needle. Since I can’t even bring myself to quote much from this claptrap nonsense, I’ll just include the part about the guy’s father-in-law, who happens to be a CDC microbiologist who works on, yes, TB.
Via: CNN:
Speaker’s father-in-law, Robert C. Cooksey, is a microbiologist who studies tuberculosis at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Research Credit: KH I’ve seen this “coincidence” referenced in so many places that if you told me about it and I didn’t credit you, I apologize.
The story is incredbily bizarre. Here is a “lawyer” who, even though the conceited s.o.b. says he is “concerned” about how his illness may affect others, travels, even against the advice of others, anyway and exposes countless people. No shit! And to top it all off he was in Europe for his wedding and honeymoon! What kind of a lunatic does such a thing?
“Oh baby… I love you so much that I’m gonna expose you to TB and a whole host of other unlucky bastards because, well, I’m special. Now come over here and give me a smooch”
Another successful Psychological Warfare experiment . . . .
That’s what everyone’s fixated on, that’s the only angle the news has bothered to consider. Oh yeah, they’re also interested in how lax border security is, that his flagged passport still got through.
The dog that’s not barking in the night, what nobody seems to wonder about – is how this guy’s unusual, virulent, drugproof disease has somehow *not* infected anyone else, especially not the “oh baby” who’s been giving him smooches.
Could the CDC possibly be interested in an airborne disease which is 50% lethal to an unprotected population, and safe enough to smooch with if you’ve had your shots??
Rhetorical question – after all they’re the Centers for Disease *Control*, not Prevention or Eradication.
Could they be so sure of their control that they’re willing to experiment on someone close to one of their own?
I don’t know anything about the CDC, but hey, they’re a government agency, and therefore capable of anything.
This looks to me like a veiled warning/threat, to whom, I couldn’t guess.
Someone is letting someone else know what They are capable of. Controlled pandemic is a pretty good hole card.
Course, it could just be a huge fucking coincidence…
I love the US fellow who talks about the system that’s in place, and how ‘it didn’t work.’ The man, he says, shouldn’t have been allowed to land in Canada. WTF? Since when does the DHS ‘system’ include Canada? Oh, right. Never mind.
This is also interesting; a case of ‘methinks he doth protest too much’…?

In a written statement, Cooksey said, “As part of my job, I am regularly tested for TB. I do not have TB, nor have I ever had TB. My son-in-law’s TB did not originate from myself or the CDC’s labs, which operate under the highest levels of biosecurity. …

Follow up: The TB-infected lawyer (aka test balloon) traveled to Paris, then Greece, then Rome, then the Czech Republic, then to Toronto, then finally back to Atlanta. Yet he was not stopped ANYWHERE enroute.
He’s been released from quarantine and has now traveled to Denver, Colorado, where he will supposedly begin receiving treatment for his untreatable condition.

None of the articles mention how he contracted the illness. TB is traditionally transmitted through prolonged close contact such as what used to be found in squalid jails, overcrowded flophouses and unsanitary hospitals. The decline of such environments is partially responsible for the decline of TB. Where or how would an upper-middle class professional from suburban Atlanta contract TB?
I think They and Their agents, one of which is, quite possibly, TB guy’s father-in-law, created and are going to use this incident to strengthen the macro-behavior-control structures They are going to use in the midst of Their synthetic pandemic.

Such structural strengthening is necessary and logical if Their ultimate goal is to highly and effectively control the spread of the disease causing Their forthcoming human-engineered pandemic.
And, I think it’s safe to say, They are the ultimate control freaks.
