ANTHRAX, GOCOs AND
DESIGNER GERMS
(Part one of three)

GOCOs
The following is the result of an in-depth
investigation into the current anthrax scare, the anthrax vaccine
and the decoding of the human genome.
While this writer was among the first to question the ownership,
motives and associations of the only U.S. manufacturer of the
anthrax vaccine (Bioport), credit must be given to other
researchers who have broadened the field of inquiry. Two in
particular have opened up the proverbial "can of worms" involved in
the scientific progress of biological weapons.
Dr. Leonard Horowitz and Patricia Doyle, Ph.D. have zeroed in on a
little publicized but powerful entity named Battelle Memorial
Institute (BMI). This relatively unknown (by the public)
organization has its tentacles spread into virtually every field of
current scientific endeavor, in partnership with the federal and
state governments and the military.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves. First some background. What
are "GOCO’s?"
At the end of the Second World War, the federal government found
itself with several secret laboratories involved mainly in nuclear,
chemical and biological weapons research and development. A
decision was made to utilize the labs, not only for further weapons
research, but also for "peaceful" inventions and discoveries
benefiting private industry and commerce.
A method was devised to keep the labs under government ownership
but allow maximum participation of private interests. Thus "GOCO’s"
(Government owned contractor operated) facilities were born. This
procedure provides a means to fund projects with taxpayers dollars
and transfers of the resulting technology to selected private
interests.
Various government agencies and the military (Department of
Defense) select organizations (through a Byzantine bidding process)
to control and operate the government owned facilities. There are
currently at least nineteen government owned national laboratories
(that we know of) being operated by private contractors. All but
one of the contractors is a "non-profit" organization or
combination of two or more.
The one exception is the Sandia lab, which devolved from the WWII
atomic bomb Manhattan Project. The first contractor operator,
invited by President Harry Truman, was AT&T. It managed the lab
until October, 1993 in the first year of the Clinton
Administration, when the contract was awarded to Martin Marietta
Corp. in Georgia (now Lockheed Martin). Undoubtedly the influence
of "Mr. Defense" Georgia Senator Sam Nunn had something to do with
that award. (Republican Congressman Newt Gingrich of Georgia would
not become Speaker of the House until two years later.) However,
the government got a "real deal" since Lockheed/Martin Marietta has
not charged a fee for its management of the lab. (Cui bono?)
Back to BMI (Battelle Memorial Institute) with headquarters in
Columbus, Ohio. The institute was the brainchild of industrialist
Gordon Battelle whose multi-millionaire father (John Battelle) had
established a coal and steel empire in that state. A bequest of one
million dollars in Gordon’s will set up the institute in 1923.
Named to the first board of directors was then President of the
United States, Warren G. Harding, a close associate of Gordon’s
father John. Harding also died later that year.
The mission of the Institute, described in the trust is "the
encouragement of creative and research work and the making of
discoveries and inventions." The trust also required that a share
of the institute’s net earnings (20%) be given to charitable
institutions, needy enterprises or persons. In practice, the
"needy" institutions seem to be other research organizations (some
indirectly related to BMI).
From its humble beginnings with one lab and 20 employees BMI has
grown to encompass over 10,000 employees (including 7,500
scientists and engineers), six major technology centers and eight
specialized facilities. It has offices in 71 U.S. cities and four
in foreign countries including Russia and the Ukraine. BMI also has
nine subsidiaries.
The BMI trust was set up as a "non-profit" organization under the
laws of the State of Ohio. However, according to BMI’s associate
general counsel in congressional testimony, BMI does not qualify as
non-profit under IRS guidelines and is not tax exempt. (His
testimony was given in an apparently successful request that BMI
and other "non-profit" contract operators of government facilities
be exempted from collection of civil damages for "incidents" with
nuclear, chemical or biological materials causing damage or harm to
people or the environment.)
BMI’s fiscal 2000 revenue was nearly one billion dollars, mostly
from government contracts and grants. During that year BMI had
6,783 projects in progress for 1,565 "clients." The institute
manages or "co-manages" four top secret facilities for the
Department of Energy (DOE).
The names of the nominal operators of many government facilities do
not tell one who is really running the show. One of the favorite
stratagems is for the real manager to join in a partnership with a
university or a third entity is created as a joint venture with a
university or other company.
The DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is operated by
Brookhaven Science Associates a corporation consisting solely of
Battelle and Stoney Brook University.
BMI is co-manager of DOE’s Oak Ridge laboratory with the University
of Tennessee. Battelle and other prime contractors have no problem
getting universities to "partner" with them in managing laboratory
facilities. Entering into such agreements with the favored
contractors virtually guarantees a steady flow of government
research grants, the lifeblood of many major universities.
Battelle has partnering agreements, in addition to the Univ. of
Tennessee, with the entire California State university system and
the same in Oregon. While details of the partnering agreements are
not made known to the public, occasionally a local newspaper will
dig up an interesting provision. One of the provisions in an
agreement signed last spring between Battelle and Ohio University
for joint gene research allows BMI to transfer any facet of the
project to its own laboratories at BMI’s discretion. The import of
a provision like that will become apparent in part three of this
report.
In addition to the management of entire facilities, BMI supports
(manages) an incredible variety of programs for various agencies.
It supports programs in at least 18 military installations
including bioweapons programs at Ft. Detrick in Maryland and the
Army’s Dugway facility in Utah. It was recently disclosed that BMI
also supports an anthrax program for the CIA.
In part two of this analysis BMI’s deep involvement in anthrax
programs, both weapons and vaccines, will be discussed. Part three
will explore BMI’s involvement and the implications of the decoding
and deconstruction of the human genome as well as the murders and
mysterious deaths apparently connected to it.

2004 9:06 PM A Career In Microbiology Can Be harmful To Your Health: The Epidemic of bizarre murders http://www.markswatson.com/deadmicros.pdf of world's top, irreplacable bio-weapons scientists continues, while deadliest diseases threaten to cause worldwide pandemics (Avian Flu, SARS, Monkey Pox, Mad Cow, West Nile etc). All of these scientists were working on Ethno-Specific Bio Weapons programs for the government. Here are some of the Dead
Microbiologists names You'll likely remember this guy David Kelly Murder Or how about these guys http://www.stevequayle.com/C2C.index.dead.scientist.html On February 18, 2004, over 60 leading scientists–Nobel laureates, leading medical experts, former federal agency directors, and university chairs and presidents–signed the http://www.ucsusa.org/global_environment/rsi/page.cfm?pageID=1449 statement voicing their concern over the misuse of science by the Bush administration. Five-thousand other scientists have signed on. You can help! Report https://www.ucsusa.org/form/RSIsubmit.html

PM Arlene  Yes, I have been keeping track of these
strange deaths amongst Microbiologists. I am interested in
discovering what the link is between their deaths and the plans for
the NWO. What are your thoughts? [ |

PM I believe Bush is behind all of it. They want to reduce the world's population to 500 million. They are escalating the global warming, willfully. They are creating bio weapons to kill billions of people, and any scientists who would know what is going on and could maybe create vaccines or antidites to stop the pandemics are being killed. It's really quite simple. Yuo can find more links on the front page of my website too. I ahve this and other stories there. http://www.girlsgofishing.com They are now also targeting top alternative energy scientists like Eugene Mallove who was brutally murdered on his parents estate when he was very close to making an announcement on new forms of viable energy that could be implimented immediately. This is scary stuff. The criminals are driving the ship now. Arlene |
