When details of the announcement were revealed it was learned that the total budget for this study was just $300,000! Hardly enough to pay the annual salary for laboratory staff. Further, it was revealed that Kaiser had already been treating Morgellons patients but had given them the diagnosis of Delusional Parasitosis. Kaiser was already biased and not the best choice to investigate a disease already plagued by misdiagnoses.
Further proof that the study was a shill came when the CDC posted a page on their official website devoted to the study (see www.cdc.gov/unexplaineddermopathy/). After two years of questionable research the CDC states that they have learned virtually nothing about the cause, whether or not it is contagious, whether or not it is a new disease or how to treat it. Further, in their FAQ (Frequently Asled Questions) section they politely refuse to accept any specimens, referrals or information from Morgellons researchers or victims!
One can only imagine that the $300,000 has already been spent — perhaps on the website — and no report of any kind has emerged. Matters are even worse because the head of the CDC has resigned and the new head of the agency has shown no interest in Morgellons.
As anyone close to politics knows, the best way to kill any project is to assign it for study and then underfund it. This is blatantly what has happened with Morgellons. But why would a government agency with a charter to prevent the outbreak and spread of disease want to stop research of a horrible disease that effects tens of thousands of US citizens? Could it have something to do with those fibers that were fluorescent? The ones that obviously came from an organism that had been trans-genetically tagged?
Phagocytes swim throughout the body, much like amoebae. They are attracted to certain locations because of the presence of bacteria which release certain chemicals that they can sense. They are also attracted by the presence of other phagocytes and muster together to fight infection. They usually kill bacteria by attacking their cell membranes and oxidizing them.
Marine amoebae in nature eat bacteria much like phagocytes. In fact, it is thought that amoebae and phagocytes have a common evolutionary origin. It’s usually a one-on-one battle with the amoeba being the victor and the bacteria being the dinner. But occasionally, bacteria do something very clever — the mass together and form a bio-film that repels and kills their predators.
The tactic is a little like a school of fish where each individual fish is protected from attack by being surrounded by others of its kind. The bacteria huddle together in the biofilm and thus prevent the amoebae from destroying their cell walls. But with some marine bacteria this biofilm does more than just protect — it kills the attacker.
The bacteria utilise a chemical weapon to achieve this. The molecule used by marine bacteria is the pigment violacein. Marine biologists have observed this in action. Once the defence system is ready, the biofilm shimmers a soft purple colour because of the violacein. If the attackers consume just a single cell of the biofilm — and the violacein — this paralyses the attackers momentarily and the violacein triggers a suicide mechanism in the amoebae.
Scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig have now identified violacein as one of the fundamental mechanisms used by the bacteria in biofilms to protect themselves against the attacking phagocytes in the human body. Like the marine organisms, the presence of violacein is deadly to the human immune system and prevents it from clearing infections from the body.
Since Chromobacterium Violaceum, which produces violacein, has been found in Morgellons skin lesions, along with the biofilm, it seems a no-brainer that this is why Morgellons Disease resists healing and, in fact, spreads so rapidly.
Don’t forget that the proteins of Chromobacterium Violaceum were apparently tagged to fluoresce by some trans-genetic laboratory. The complete genome of this bacterium was published in 2003. This implies that they were intentionally included in this witches brew!
The smoking gun is found
Imagine splicing plant or virus DNA in the cells of your skin, or liver, kidneys or brain. What would the results be like? Does this happen in Morgellons victims? Vitaly Citovsky conducted a study:
Skin biopsy samples from Morgellons patients were subjected to high-stringency polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for genes encoded by the Agrobacterium chromosome and also for Agrobacterium virulence (vir) genes and T-DNA on its Ti plasmid. They found that “all Morgellons patients screened to date have tested positive for the presence of Agrobacterium, whereas this microorganism has not been detected in any of the samples derived from the control, healthy individuals.” Their preliminary conclusion is that “Agrobacterium may be involved in the etiology and/or progression” of Morgellons Disease.
In short, Agrobacterium was found to transfer T-DNA into the chromosomes of human cells.
The association of Morgellons Disease with dirt and soil where Agrobacterium lives, the widespread use of Agrobacterium in genetic engineering of plants, and the ability of Agrobacterium to infect human cells, all point towards a possible role of genetic engineering in the aetiology of Morgellans disease via Agrobacterium.
Let’s summarize what we have learned about the Morgellons laboratory findings.
We have seen that there are fluorescent properties in some of the fibers and that these fluorescent substances contain proteins from some highly unusual and non-human organisms. It is ironic (or maybe not) that almost all of these exotic organisms have had their entire genomes studied and published. This would be essential for any serious trans-genetic manipulation. Indeed, these fluorescent proteins suggest that the organisms that produced them were genetically manipulated and tagged in some laboratory, for what purpose we do not know. The proteins come from some pretty nasty things, including organisms that make biofilms and violacein — both which disable the human immune system, cause East Coast Fever and can insert random genes in our human cells!
We see further evidence that Morgellons victims test positive for Agrobacterium, a unique bacteria that is widely used to genetically modify plants and which can genetically modify human cells. Again there is the suggestion that a laboratory was involved in the origins of this substance.
Whether it is by design or by accident, it is apparent that Morgellons Disease was man made. The reluctance of the CDC to take an active role in investigating this outbreak further suggests that, on some level, the government — or some highly influential corporation — is culpable.
Meanwhile people are suffering, committing suicide and spreading the disease to family members and their neighbors. There is no known cure and the disease eventually causes physical and mental disabilities.
The most affected regions are California, Texas and Florida. Despite the suggestion that victims seem to have worked with soil or gardening (and must have come in contact with Agrobacterium that way), the two major occupations of Morgellons victims are nurses and teachers. Urban areas have more cases than rural areas. There have been confirmed cases in cats, dogs and horses. By all parameters, Morgellons is already pandemic.
Yet the CDC is silent. No study, no report, no excuse. Just silence.
DANGER- ALERT! I received an e-mail from a reader who informed me that a woman named Nancy Burson appears to be selling a product called “Extra Celestial” Water on her website: www.nancyburson.com. We’re not sure what this water contains but there is a description of “crystals” and “extra celestial” DNA that has been found in Nancy’s body fluids. She shows photographs of these artifacts here — www.nancyburson.com/pages/crystal.html and makes reference to Morgellons Disease.
We certainly hope that she is not selling any substance which has been in contact with her body or bodily fluids and we caution anyone who should ingest or apply this “water” for fear that it might contain Morgellons cells or products.
Further, the water is being sold (some vials cost $125 USD) as an ingested cure for a variety of illnesses and conditions. This should be investigated by the US FDA
since any claims of this sort constitute a drug and come under their regulation.
We’ll keep you posted on this. The last thing we need is to spread Morgellons.
