The Origin of Fort Detrick
(under construction) Of course, the US was determined to be a world leader - it's how Fort Detrick came into being. In fact, it started organically, below the surface- in the early forties - a clique of civilian scientists who called themselves the War Reserve Service . Bio-warfare was their passion. Even Roosevelt didn't know they existed initially - but when he did, he was all for it.
That kernel then grew into Camp Detrick - then Fort Detrick. Which gives you an insight into the culture that lives on today - a secret higher-truth society - playing God with the direction of humanity. Same way we've always done. That's our day job. What's yours? Second thoughts: who cares?
To this end, captured Japanese scientists from 731 were pardoned for passing on their findings.
Later, the US was accused of dropping cholera & plague bombs in the Korean War - a technology acquired from the 731'ers. They admitted capability, but denied deployment - saying the outbreaks were due to natural causes. Then again, if it's a secret-security-op - you're not gonna beowning-up to it , right? It's classified.
Even Nixon was taken surprised by the review, first in 10 years, on his country's secret bio-weapons program. The massive stockpiles of deadly disease-bombs they'd built up - saying the offensive program demonstrated nuclear equivalence of biological weapons
Then there were the nutty airplane aerosol attacks on major US cities with a simulant substance. The scale of this unchecked, alternative universe of bio-weapons thinking. Locked-into an arms race to world domination - a vested industry - with its own momentum.
Nixon visited Fort Detrick shortly after to announce an end to the offensive capability program
Did it put some noses out of joint? The War Reserve was already a closed-scio-society power-base before the govt came along - that network doesn't dissolve overnight. They all kept their jobs at Fort Detrick.
Loop-hole: 101: We're not creating bioweapons for offensive deployment - just we need to keep making them - so we know how best to defend against them n such.
