During August of 1999, the nightmare of West Nile Fever Virus emerged within the borders of our country. This virus had never been detected in the western hemisphere before. Is it not peculiar that the outbreak of West Nile Fever Virus in New York City occurred virtually simultaneously with an outbreak in Israel? According to the CDC, the two outbreaks had 99.8 percent genetic similarities. This statement alone raises several questions, such as why would the CDC feel that it is necessary to test two different outbreaks on opposite sides of the world? Could it be because they feel that there is terrorist link? This can be very possible because the first case of a West Nile Fever Virus in several decades in Israel occurred in a flock of three thousand commercial geese. What better way to spread a deadly disease but to use live commercial product. The second case occurred in an elderly couple who both perished at the mercy of this ruthless virus. The elderly couple who became infected with West Nile Fever Virus lived in the Tel Aviv suburbs and had not left the Tel Aviv area in five years. The couple had not had any contact with any foreigners, they did not own any pets, and the most astounding detail is that there were no traces of mosquitoes found in the surrounding area in which they resided. Ever since the first outbreak of West Nile Fever Virus in America during the year of 1999, 148 fellow Americans have lost their lives due to the apparent incompetence of the CDC, and the federal government’s lack of regulations on deadly viruses. Another question that arises is why would the same strain of West Nile Fever Virus occur nearly simultaneously in the United States and Israel, and not in Israel and Saudi Arabia or another country within the eastern hemisphere? Could it be because Israel and the United States have embargos on Iraqi oil, and that the United States and Israel are among the world leaders in anti-terror efforts both major sources of income for Iraq. What better revenge on two countries restricting Iraqi economic growth than a subtle yet deadly biological attack.
When the United Nations weapons inspectors entered Iraq post Gulf War the world realized that Iraq had biological weapon capabilities. By genetically engineering West Nile Fever Virus, it could become a super weapon. According to Mikhael Ramadan former bodyguard and Saddam double, Hussein has already done this and it is called SV1417 this alleged West Nile Fever super virus has a 97 percent mortality rate in an urban area. If this is true, the United States of America could be responsible for its own demise.
It is evident that the development of West Nile Virus in the United States of America was not due to natural occurrences, but because of an act of terror against our nation, and one of our closest allies, Israel. If the CDC had some prudence while dealing with the exportation of deadly viruses and countries ruled by tyrannical dictators it is quite possible that West Nile Fever Virus would have never appeared in the western hemisphere, and 148 Americans would still be alive enjoying life. This is a near perfect biological attack planned by Hussein. The West Nile attack is subtle and not killing mass numbers of people, and the virus will just keep spreading throughout the United States and the western hemisphere. In addition, if it is true that Hussein’s SV1417 strain does exist it could mean the demise of the free world, and it would be because of the apparent incompetence and misjudgment of the CDC officials.
