Events unfolding now shouldn’t be seen as current events, which is how the media always tries to portray the latest crisis. If Americans knew the full extent of the "Bioshield Act" established by the neocons in 2004, and its implications today, much broader strategic situation seems in play. The US has 336 bio labs in 30 countries.

To quote from "The Project for a New American Century and the Age of Bioweapons: 20 Years of Psychological Terror":

The Age of Bioweapons and PNAC

"This anthrax attack led quickly into the 2004 Bioshield Act with a $5 billion budget and mandate to “pre-empt and defend further bioweapon attacks”. This new chapter of the revolution in military affairs was to be coordinated from leading bioweapons facility at the Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick. Since 2002, over $50 billion has been spent on Bioweapons research and defense to date.

The earlier October 2000 RAD document emphasized the importance which the neocon cabal placed on bioweapons (and other next generation war tech) stating: “Combat will likely take place in new dimensions: In space, cyber-space and perhaps the world of microbes… advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool”.

Want to understand US pro-war propaganda in one song. Listen to Aaron Neville's moving rendition of Dylan's "With God on Our Side." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfmcUeueuhc. To purge any residual exceptionalist brainwashing, I sit at my keyboard and sing it to myself loudly.

"Russian verse":

I’ve learned to hate Russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

It’s them we must fight

To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely

With God on my side.

AND the final verse:

So now as I’m leavin’

I’m weary as Hell

The confusion I’m feelin’

Ain’t no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If God’s on our side

He’ll stop the next war.
