FEMALE SERGEANT DEAD FROM ANTHRAX SHOT

WHEN WILL PENTAGON END THIS MADNESS?

It had to happen sooner or later. And now it has!

SGT Sandra Larson of Fort Riley, Kansas is dead of "aplastic anemia," a virulent auto immune blood disease. She died just 30 days after completing her series of Anthrax shots. Her sister, Nancy Rugo, says the young NCO "went from a healthy woman just four weeks prior to her death - June 14, 2000 - to having no bone marrow, platelets and an extremely low count of red and white blood cells. It was as if there was something in her that was killing her immune system, shutting her down."

There was no Pentagon press release from the supercilious Kenneth Bacon mourning the death of this young soldier. The "official line" must be adhered to no matter what. After all, this is a multi-million dollar "sweetheart" contract for a company owned, in part, by Bill Clinton crony, retired Admiral William Crowe. Dollars and defense contracts must always come before lives, right?

Retired Air Force LTC Redmond Handy, who resigned his officer's commission rather than participate in what he calls a "terrible crime against our men and women in uniform," warned "there are others currently at risk because of this flawed vaccine. I'm afraid SGT Larson's death won't be the last," he told MilitaryCorruption.com. "When will the Pentagon end this madness?"

In the final month of her life, Sandra told her sister it was the Anthrax shots that made her sick. SGT Larson said the threat of court-martial or prison made her reluctantly submit to the shots that ended up costing her her life.

What have we come to in this country when an unholy trio like Bill "I loathe the military" Clinton, Secretary of Defense (never served a day in uniform) William Cohen, and that bloated political chameleon, retired Navy Admiral William Crowe, can cook up a money-making scam that would even put Al Capone to shame?

Everyone knows in business you need to "corner the market" on your product. And what better way to garner a "captive audience" than to dictate court martial or prison for any service member who declines to be "guinea pigged" with a questionable "vaccine?"

It's even better that BioPort of Lansing, Michigan - owned in part by Crowe and his mysterious friend El Fahoud - are the only manufacturers of the so-called "vaccine" in the United States. They get the "sweetheart" multi-million-dollar contract.

And when the FDA repeatedly shuts BioPort down for "unsanitary conditions" and other serious violations, what happens but the Pentagon throws more money at the Michigan facility! Is it possible that Crowe's endorsement of draft-dodger Clinton in the 1992 campaign had something to do with it?

After all, no one would have mistaken Crowe for a liberal Democrat. He served as Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff under President Ronald Reagan and George Bush. But, when the time was right, according to political insiders, he "stuck the knife into Bush's back" and was rewarded by Clinton with the post of ambassador to Great Britain. No accident there, either.

The Pentagon won't admit to the real number of officers and enlisted members who have refused the shot and been punished, but by their own calculations, it is nearly a thousand. Let's take the low number and contemplate the damage to the military's morale as well as the severe loss of trained pilots and flight crews, experienced officers and NCO's from all the branches of service whose lives have been destroyed.

At best, this was a needless waste of money, a reward to a political supporter who might be inclined to "donate" to a campaign or "presidential library" down the road. At worst, this is one of the most craven outrages perpetrated against this nation's military in our history, and no amount of penance will assuage all the suffering and misery caused by this callous and criminal policy.

Handy, president of the National Organization of Americans Battling Unnecessary Servicemember Endangerment, tells MilitaryCorruption.com "certain members of Congress are still protecting this vaccine as if it were the Holy Grail. Some of them even want to expand its use by producing it at a second location - and they want to hide it from further scrutiny by manufacturing it at a government-owned facility, instead of a private business."

Why? The answer can be summed up in four words: FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL.

So... You Want to Go to War? - Introduction
Introduction by Jackie Patru
"Are you sure? You're willing to risk your life for. . . what? For whom? Your country needs you? To do what? To massacre innocent, defenseless people? Why? Is your country at risk? Or do you have your country confused with the corporation in Washington, D.C... the U.S. Government, Inc.? Are you willing to forfeit your life and possibly your soul in blind obedience to the government? Are you willing to become a human guinea pig to the Military/ Industrial/ Pharmaceutical complex? You will ... if you go to war.
Watch out for this school note: Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
It is a wide and deep river of paper, and in the currents it would be easy to miss the school notification required under Sec. 9528 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Think of this notification as the dangerous undertow in the river of paper from your local schools. It is the one required under the "Armed Forces Recruiter Access to Students" section of the "No Child" law.

We have assembled the items below into two categories. Those that are now a part of human history, and those incidents that fathers, mothers, sons, daughers, brothers, and sisters are currently living. Our purpose is to compare the abuses of our men and women in uniform from the past, to the present day reality that nothing has changed.
Think long and hard about whether to send your children off to war. For whom, and what purpose, will you allow your children to spill their blood?

Throughout History

THIS IS WAR!
An unblinking look — in words and images — at the reality of warefare. From an excellent website called the Memory Hole.
U.S. Admits It Tested Nerve Gas on It's Sailors
The Guardian — "The US has admitted that it deliberately sprayed nerve gas on its sailors in the 1960s as part of a series of tests...

USS Liberty - Did Israel Commit One War Crime to Hide Another?
By James M. Ennes, Jr. - Survivor: "When the Liberty was attacked, Captain Joseph Tully in the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga received the ship's call for help and immediately sent jet aircraft to her assistance. Tully's jets were recalled almost immediately by orders from Washington. As a result, American jet fighter support was withheld for more than 90 minutes. By then the damage was done and 34 men were dead or dying."
Refusal To Investigate Israel's 1967 Attack on USS Liberty
Wisconsin state legislator, Marlin Schneider, was very naive when he agreed to sponsor a resolution calling for an investigation into the murder of U.S. sailors on orders of the Israeli government. He was sacked as assistant Democratic leader, removed from a leadership position and warned to: "beware of massive political contributions against me and even potential assassination."
Female Sergeant Dead From Anthrax Shot
Retired Air Force LTC Redmond Handy, who resigned his officer's commission rather than participate in what he calls a "terrible crime against our men and women in uniform," warned "there are others currently at risk because of this flawed vaccine. I'm afraid SGT Larson's death won't be the last," he told MilitaryCorruption.com. "When will the Pentagon end this madness?"
Korean "Police Action" - American Soldiers Betrayed
From our How Wars Are Made section
"The enemy then contacted and relayed these battle plans to their communist forces in the field. The enemy knew when to move from an area and when to attack our smaller fighting forces. They knew beforehand when we were coming and how many of us there were. They knew everything about us all the time – 24 hours a day!!!"

It continues today

Pentagon Eyes Mass Graves (for U.S. Soldiers)

Talk of War No Deterrent for Some Looking to Military
NY Times — "Mr. Moran's former school friends also had something else to say in light of the military buildup in the Middle East: They said, "'Oh yeah, you're going to go die over there,' " he recalled. "But I was going to die over here, too, So it doesn't really matter. As a teenager, it's more of a risk to be in the streets."
"U.S. Undergoes Rapid Military Expansion" - Who Will Protect America?
USA Today — "The United States is rapidly increasing its military ties with nations large and small, thanks to the war on terrorism. . .

Soldier Sues Military Over Extended Service Order
"This lawsuit seeks to stop the forced retention of men and women who have fulfilled their service obligations. When their period of enlistment ends, they should be entitled to return to their families", said attorney Michael Sorgen. The "stop loss'' order means soldiers who otherwise could leave when their commitments expire will be compelled to remain until the end of a year-long overseas deployment and up to another 90 days after returning to their home base.
Maimed in Iraq, then mistreated, neglected, and hidden in America

Iraq War Vets Struggle to Adjust to Lost Limbs, Flashbacks
"Unlike the young draftees of earlier wars, many of these men and women are older, with families. For them, this morphing from a fighting machine ducking bullets into a mommy or daddy packing school lunches presents a special challenge. This time the government tapped the National Guard and the Reserve to augment regular forces. Some returnees-proportionately many more than in Vietnam-have left limbs and slices of sanity on an urban battlefield as strange as the Iraq war itself."
Depleted Uranium: Dirty Bombs, Dirty Missiles, Dirty Bullets
"...eight out of 20 men who served in one unit in 2003 U.S. in Iraq now have malignancies. ... 40% of the soldiers in that unit have developed malignancies in just 16 months. ...it targets the DNA.
