The United States Military has been ordered to answer whether they weaponized ticks during the Cold War. The NY Post reports:
The US House of Representatives ordered a probe into whether the Pentagon tried to use ticks and other bugs as biological weapons over a 25-year period.
Lawmakers passed an amendment last week that calls on the Department of Defense’s inspector general to investigate.
Text of the amendment, which was proposed by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), says the inspector general will “conduct a review of whether the Department of Defense experimented with ticks and other insects regarding use as a biological weapon between the years of 1950 and 1975.”
During a debate on Thursday, Smith said “for years, books and articles have been written suggesting that significant research had been done at US government facilities, including Fort Detrick and Plum Island, to turn ticks and other insects into bioweapons.”
Lyme disease has been a huge plague in some regions of the United States, and if the government had a hand in it, there ought to be full accountability.
Now it is proven facts that US service members have been used multiple times in experiments from disease to radioactivity, without their knowledge or permission. Many have died because of those Government experiments. It should be set up that this type of Government operations are totally illegal, and the people effected are rightly compensated.

The only reparations I’ll pay is to the ones that come to my home and try to hurt my family, take my house, or steal my guns and they will be paid their reparations one 180 grain dose of lead at a a time. Pretty sure I won’t have to make a second payment to them.
Told an elderly neighbor that I need reparations. Told h the school districts did not allow students to speak German when my dad was in school, hence he did not do as well as he could have. You all owe him money! Of course with penalty and interest, that is a heft sum now.
Elderly neighbor said the parent s insisted on a German instructor,and he got by well in life.
I like you comment, but what does it have to do with Zecke Insekt. 😉
My vote is for Buttkeg. Honest !
Has he spoke about the issue in this article?
Accountability…a word that seems to span millennia. If we pay reparations (ransom) for slavery from centuries ago, and for biologic warfare research from decades ago, why not pay for the usurping of America from the Indians? Hey, I know! Let’s pay criminals who never got the education to prevent them from becoming what they are! Let’s pay me for not informing me how to become a multi-billionaire by becoming an inventor. Somebody needs to apologize…with money!
Or better yet, let’s let the past be the past and let’s take care of the present and future.
Left handed people deserve reparations. We have been forced to live in a world designed for right handed people. School desks are designed for right handed students. Left handed students must adapt by curling their hands around and write upside down. Hand tools are designed for right handed people. Even screw threads are right handed. It is time left handed people received reparations for being discriminated against for years and years!
THE HAVE LEFT HAND RIFELS , HANGUNS, EVEN CARS THAT HAVE THE STEERING WHEELS ON THE RIGHT!
DUMB AZZ!
