Kahuta: 1 USZ, 3 UK spies caught spying just 1 day before OBL circus

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

Four western diplomats, including Britons and an American, were caught spying in the prohibited surroundings of the restricted Kahuta atomic plant. Interior ministry sources while quoting an intelligence report said that they were taking photographs of the area and carrying electronic gadgets including cameras and a laptop. These sources said that they were intercepted, questioned and later escorted back to Islamabad by the Pakistan security officials with the clear warning that they were crossing the red-line. Their cameras were confiscated; however, they were not formally arrested or thoroughly probed after they proved their diplomatic status. Interior Secretary Chaudhry Qamar Zaman, who is presently abroad, could not be approached. However, his Additional Secretary Asif Nawaz, who is currently looking after the ministry as its acting secretary, when approached was unsure if he saw such a report or not.

“Frankly I don’t recollect it. I might have disposed it in routine as fresh receipts are normally marked down and to the concerned agencies for necessary action,” he said.

The FO spokespersons despite repeated efforts was not available for her response on the matter. According to an informed interior ministry source, the ministry not only received the information from the Punjab home department but the ISI is also aware of it. The UK High Commission spokesperson when contacted responded, This was a recreational hiking trip in the hills south of Murree. The group cooperated fully with the authorities.” The UK HC though did not explain any further but a diplomatic source explained that out of three of the UK High Commission officials identified in the report, only one is a regular member of the mission. According to the official report, four foreigners who were found in the forest area around Kahuta Atomic Plant on May 1 and intercepted in the afternoon included one USZ and three UK diplomats/officials. They include Ms Kilipna (or Kalitna) Merethy of the USZ Embassy while Mr Granyeer John Scort, Ms Exprece and Ms Angela Hyte were shown by the intelligence report as UK Embassy officials. Scort and Exprece were identified as having been associated with the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) wing of the embassy.

However, USZ embassy spokesperson Alberto Rodriguez when approached emailed to Pakistan's The News the following response:

“A female American diplomat was hiking in the Murree area on Sunday, May 1. That person was accompanied by three other persons of British, Canadian and New Zealand nationalities. While hiking, the group was stopped and questioned by the police. They were stopped, we understand, because the caretaker of a local cell or radio tower was asked by the police to report anyone unfamiliar in the area. The US diplomat was asked for identification and complied with the request of the police officer to show her camera to him. The police official looked at the digital photos on the camera and subsequently returned the camera without deleting any pictures. The group was informed that they were hiking in a restricted area and were subsequently escorted to the outskirts of Islamabad. The group saw no signs or markers indicating that the area was restricted. The American diplomat fully complied with the appropriate travel procedures at the embassy. The group comprised various nationalities. The group was in Murree, as the police can attest to, not in Kahuta or near an atomic power plant. I urge you to go back to your source and verify the information that was provided to you, as I believe there are errors in fact that would put into question whatever other information you have received. I am sure with your contacts, you can easily verify everything I have said with the local police in the area.”

However, the Special Branch Punjab report received by the Interior Ministry from the Punjab Home Department say:

“On 01-05-2011 at about 1240 hours, the field staff of Special Branch, Punjab, came to know about the presence of few foreigners in the forest area of Punj Pir, PS (police station) Kahuta taking photographs of the area. Kahuta Atomic Plant is visible from this area. They were also found carrying electronic gadgets including laptops. The matter was immediately brought in to the notice of Federal Intelligence Agency who also reached there and took the custody of the foreigners.” The report also contained the names of four foreigners as reflected earlier and identified as one American and three British.

Quoting the ISI report, the interior ministry source said that according to the ISI these four foreigners had gone there in a black Land Cruiser registration no Islamabad NS 857. They were intercepted initially by police around the restricted area of Kahuta atomic plant. When questioned, these foreigners were reported to have claimed that they were there for sightseeing. Having unsatisfied with their response, the police is said to have called the security officials of the Special Planning Division, who questioned them, verified their identities and escorted them back to Islamabad only after a clear warning that they were found in the no-go area. Two of their cameras with which they had taken the photographs of the sensitive area were confiscated.

Although Pakistan has now innumerable nuclear sites, Kahuta Atomic Plant for being the first atomic site developed is globally recognised as one of the major nuke sites of Pakistan. There has been repeated efforts made by the western, American and Indian intelligence operators to spy on the Kahuta Atomic Plant but as yet not only this particular nuclear site but each and every nuclear installation of the country has been remained inaccessible and fully secure. Only a couple of years back, some members of the US private company - DynCorp - reportedly containing CIA’s under cover operators were found involved in spying and several of them were disengaged from the places like Sihala Police College where they were apparently imparting training of police officials but were alleged to have been spying on Kahuta Nuclear facility. The Pakistani authorities noted suspected activities of certain members of DynCorp, which under a contractual obligation between Pakistan and the US, as was agreed during Musharraf’s regime, was engaged in law enforcement training, security matters and air aviation cooperation here.

Some of the intelligence agencies including the ISI and IB had credible reports about the involvement of certain members of DynCorp in spying business. An intelligence agency had reported to the government in 2009 that three Americans alongwith a Pakistani had tried to trespass into restricted area of Kahuta Power Plant but the official security agency deployed at the check post got alerted and intercepted them when they crossed the check post and entered restricted area. The Pakistani accompanying these Americans was a retired assistant director of the FIA, who while introducing himself as FIA officer had managed to free the Americans and returned. Through this trespassing, according to the official report, the Americans had tried to check the security arrangement for Kahuta Research Laboratories. That very incident had played a vital role in moving out DynCorp men from Sihala Police college facility where they were allowed to train the police officials but were found in spying the country’s nuclear facility.

Army vows to defend tribesmen, their lives and property


Army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani launched a major road project Thursday that will be a vital trade route between the tribal region and Afghanistan, the military said. General Kayani visited the tribal North Waziristan region to inaugurate the 80-kilometre road project, being undertaken by the army. The road is being constructed as part of Quick Impact Projects. The road from Bannu to Ghulam Khan on the Afghan border will cost four billion rupees ($48 million), the military said in a statement, adding it was aimed at social development of the tribal areas. The project would be completed in 18 months, linking remote areas of North Waziristan to other parts of the country, it said. “The road will provide a central trade route between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This will open multiple opportunities for the people of North Waziristan”, it added.

The project will also provide employment opportunities to approximately 2,000 locals. Addressing tribal elders, General Kayani said he appreciated their “support and acknowledged their sacrifices in the war against terrorism.” He reiterated the army’s resolve to bring peace and stability to the affected areas and to protect the lives and property of the tribals, against all internal as well as external threats. General Kayani also visited Peshawar on Thursday. At Peshawar, COAS was briefed about the ongoing stability operations. He also met with Chief Minister Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Ameer Haider Hoti and discussed security situation in the province. The COAS also presided over the ceremony of handing over of consolidated account of Army’s efforts in the flood relief operations in the province. After a detailed briefing to the provincial leadership, the summary of Army’s contributions, so far, and reconstruction projects in progress was handed over to CM Khyber-Pakhtunkwa.

Former CIA agent exposes 9/11 and Mossad links in her terrifying story

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

Susan Lindaeur, former
CIA agent
Former CIA Asset, Ms Susan Lindaeur provides an extraordinary first hand account from behind the intelligence curtain that shatters the deception of George W. Bush about 9/11 and Iraq. In her recently released book “Extreme Prejudice”, Lindaeur casts a harsh spotlight on the working of the Patriot Act as the ideal weapon to harass and discredit dissidents and those insiders in the USZ intelligence agencies who know who committed the crime of 9/11.

In her book, Lindaeur exposed the Israhelli complicity in 9/11, the controlled demolition of the World Trade Centre and the specific detailed foreknowledge of the time target, the means of 9/11 attacks held throughout the month prior to 9/11 by the CIA in general and Lindaeur’s CIA handler, Richard Fuisz, in particular. She also exposed her first- hand knowledge of pre-war intelligence and negotiations showing that Iraq was willing to give the USZ “anything it asked” and that the war- from the perspective of USZ interests not only utterly unnecessary, but widely counterproductive. Lindaeur’s evidence points strongly to 9/11 being a coup d’etat by hard-line Zionist determined to steer the USZ into self-destructive war on Israhell’s enemies.

When Lindaeur started speaking, she was arrested for accepting a cheeseburger from an Iraqi diplomat. She was put in jail for 18 months without a hearing. Later , she was jailed at an Air Force base in Texas and threatened with indefinite confinement without trial. When Lindaeur managed to escape detention, she was accused of being delusional and a mental case. Fearing that she would tell the truth about 9/11 and Iraq, the USZ administration declined to persecute her in the court of law after long detention without trial on the plea that she was mentally disturbed. No USZ court could dare to take her case to compensate her for abusing her fundamental human rights and freedom. Yet, George W. Bush, the notorious member of Skull and Bones society of cult zionist black magic and freemasonry, said, “they hate us because we’re free.”

“Stop drones immediately, evacuate 335 CIA operatives”: Kayani / Pasha blast USZ


As ISI chief Ahmad Shuja Pasha arrives here for talks with CIA Director Leon Panetta, Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani has demanded that the “United States of Zionism steeply reduce the number of CIA operatives and Special Operations forces working in Pakistan”. In a front page report, the New York Times quoted informed sources in Islamabad as saying on Monday that Gen Kayani had also “demanded that USZ put on hold CIA drone strikes aimed at militants in northwest Pakistan, a sign of the near collapse of cooperation between the two testy allies”.


The newspaper says the demand that the USZ scale back its presence is the immediate fallout of the arrest in Pakistan of Raymond A. Davis, a CIA security officer who killed two men in broad daylight, according to Pakistani and American officials. The reductions were personally demanded by Gen Kayani, said the Pakistani and American officials, who requested anonymity while discussing the sensitive issue. The Pakistani army firmly believes that Washington’s real aim in Pakistan is to neutralise the nation’s nuclear arsenal, which is now on a path to becoming the world’s fifth largest, said the Pakistani official closely involved in the decision on reducing the American presence. On the American side, the NYT report said, frustration has built over the Pakistani army’s so-called ‘seeming inability’ to “defeat” a host of militant groups, including the “Taliban” and the CIA terror boogieman “Al Qaeda”, from tribal areas despite more than $1 billion in American assistance a year to the country’s military. In other words, Americans don't like the fact that Pakistan Army has simply refused to carry out any operations in North Waziristan on Pro-Pakistan elements of Haqqani group (of course, why would Pakistan want to commit suicide?).

In a rare public rebuke, a White House report to Congress last week described the Pakistani efforts against the militants as disappointing since Army is continuously crushing CIA backed insurgency of TTP in Mehmand Agency whereas it's not touching the Patriotic pro-Pakistan & anti-American elements in North Waziristan. Raymond Davis was involved in a covert CIA effort to make Lashkar-e-Jhangvi more efficient and carry out more precise and sensitive operations through this terrorist group, which has been carrying out terrorist operations throughout Pakistan in order to destabilize the country and provoke sectarian violence across the nation. The CIA criminals had demanded that Mr Davis be freed immediately, on the grounds that he had “diplomatic immunity”. Instead, he was held for 47 days of detention and, the officials said, questioned for 14 days by ISI agents, infuriating American officials. He was finally freed after his victims’ families agreed to take some $2.3 million in compensation.

Another apparent price, however, is the list of reductions in American personnel demanded by Gen Kayani, according to the Pakistan and American officials. These include a 40% cutback in the number of USZ Special Operations soldiers, most of them involved in training the paramilitary Frontier Corps in northwest Pakistan. Besides General Kayani has also demanded immediate evacuation of 335 USZ secret CIA personnel covertly operating in Pakistan. American officials said last year that the Pakistanis had allowed a maximum of 120 Special Forces soldiers to operate in Pakistan. The Americans had reached that quota, the Pakistani official said. On top of reducing American personnel on the ground, Gen Kayani has told the Obama administration that its expanded drone campaign had gotten out of control, a Pakistani official said.

The drone campaign, which is immensely unpopular among the Pakistani public, had morphed into the sole preserve of the United States, the Pakistani official said, since the Americans were no longer sharing intelligence on how they were choosing their targets. The Americans had also extended the strikes to new parts of the tribal region, like the Khyber area near Peshawar. “Gen Kayani would like the drones stopped”, said another Pakistani official who met the military chief recently. “He believes they are used too frequently as a weapon of choice, rather than as a strategic weapon.”

CIA-ISI Cold War & Davis episode


ISI-CIA cooperated with each other throughout the war against Soviet forces in Afghanistan in 1980s. The latter never felt offended on being kept in the backseat concerning planning; coordination, training, equipping and launching of Mujahideen were concerned. The USZ provided intelligence, funds, arms and fighters from other Muslim countries only. The ISI was eulogised and given due credit for the successful conclusion of the war. Its stature grew so high that it was seen as the most potent and effective spy machine in the region and second to none. After 1990, when the USZ hastily abandoned Pakistan and consequently Pak-USZ relations got strained, ISI also came in bad books of the USZ and ignited CIA-ISI cold war. During the two short tenures of PPP, an effort was made to shorten the long arm of the ISI. After 9/11, when America in concert with Israel, India, UK, Germany and Afghanistan went about pursuing its agenda it had fixed for Pakistan with the help of intelligence agencies, it found Pak Army and ISI as major bottlenecks in its way to reach up to coveted nukes. CIA took full control of intelligence acquisition and dissemination and kept ISI on the sidelines so as to be able to gain control over selected regions of FATA and Balochistan.


Anti-state elements were cultivated to destabilize these regions. Two pronged propaganda war was launched against Pakistan and its premier institutions by India and Afghanistan duly backed by USZA and western countries. All terrorist attacks taking place in the two countries were pasted on ISI. It included terrorist attack on Indian parliament in December 2002, Samjhota Express train blast in 2006, suicide attack on Indian Embassy in Kabul in July 2008 and several others in India. CIA started targeting ISI from end 2007 onwards when the latter learnt about double game being played by former and started to recover lost ground. Apart from unleashing vicious vilification campaign, the USZ tried hard to cut ISI to size by placing it under Ministry of Interior headed by its own man and also getting it purged of anti-USZ officers under the plea that they were sympathisers of Taliban. Wild allegations were made that the ISI was linked with Afghan Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Muhammad. It was accused of playing a double game. When the ISI didn’t budge and continued to shield national interests, RAW, Mosad and CIA jointly engineered Mumbai attacks in November 2008 with the sole aim of netting ISI. Case was gradually built up to get it declared as a rogue outfit. The USZ tilted towards India and blackmailed Pakistan. Latter was pressured to accept all demands of India. The USZ played a key role in getting passed a resolution by UNSC to put Jamat-ud-Dawa and its four leaders on list of terrorists.

When no headway could be made, several group attacks were launched against ISI set ups in various cities. In November 2010, the USZ Federal Court issued summon to DGISI Lt Gen Pasha and senior members of LeT for the alleged involvement in Mumbai carnage. In response to a complaint lodged by one Kareem Khan from North Waziristan that his son and brother had been killed by a drone on 31 December 2009, when on 16 December Islamabad Police moved to register murder case against CIA station chief in Pakistan Jonathan Banks, who was supervising drone campaign, Jonathan fled to USZA. The USZ media suspected ISI involvement in blowing up CIA cover in retaliation to USZ court move. ISI-CIA relations hit rock bottom once CIA agent Raymond Davis was arrested in Lahore on 27 January after he shot down two motorcyclists in Lahore. His arrest blew the lid off the covert CIA operation in Pakistan. Realising the gravity of the situation, the USZ applied its crude methods of coercion and also played the diplomatic immunity card to secure Davis’s release without any investigation and trial. Obama, Mullen, Munter and CIA chief Panetta tried both threats and persuasion to get him released but failed. Arrest of another USZ national Aaron Mark de Haven in Peshawar pretending to be security contractor gave a glimpse of the scale of USZ spy network in Pakistan. Despite extreme pressure Punjab government and Lahore court stood their ground asserting that process of law will not be allowed to be subverted. It was dishonest on part of Obama and USZ officials to lie blatantly that Davis was a diplomat knowing that he was not. Their mantra of full diplomatic immunity was sheer deceitfulness. They resorted to lies since the USZ has mostly been getting away with their ruses, deceit and falsehood. None bothered to clarify as to why a diplomat was carrying Glock and Bretta pistols, loads of ammunition, hand grenade and other spy gadgets.

Sudden release of Davis on 16 March came as a rude shock for the people of Pakistan. His release has renewed the waning confidence of spies and under cover agents of CIA to continue with their dirty work. They will however now be a bit more careful never to get caught. CIA would be busy devising schemes how to prevent such a recurrence which had caught the most powerful agency with pants down. Task of ISI to identify foreign spies will now become more tedious since it will be chasing alerted agents. Pakistan will never ever get another chance wherein the USZ was put on the defensive and had no clue how to get Davis released after their salvo of diplomatic immunity misfired. Davis was at the breaking point and sooner than later would have divulged all the nitty- gritty details about CIA-Mosad-RAW network in Pakistan, its linkages with local quislings, NGOs and terrorist groups, and Blackwater racket, and how close the CIA was in stealing or disabling our nukes. Our rulers have once again kneeled down under pressure and sold national interests too cheaply. For the people it is an irreparable loss for Pakistan and amounts to compromising our national honour and dignity. They feel cheated and let down since they were not taken into confidence when striking a secret deal with USZA. For the rulers, it is a win-win situation. They argue that Pak-USZ relations at state, military and intelligence levels at the brink of break up have sailed past the rough patch; USZ aid and IMF loan flow would resume; USZ-Pak-Afghan summit would take place, Pak-USZ strategic dialogue would restart. In their view, decision taken by Session Court was strictly in conformity with Sharia law; all the heirs of deceased Fahim and Faizan have willingly accepted blood money and forgiven the accused; families of victims have been richly compensated and amount dished out to each one is beyond their wildest expectations.


The government is taking pride in tackling a very complex case smoothly since custody of Davis was like handling a ticking live bomb. Rulers say that all this was made possible because of intimate cooperation and coordination of the Federal government, Punjab government, Army chief, DGISI and law courts in Lahore. This kind of harmony between state organs is a rare phenomenon in ongoing restive environment. However, the ruling regime known for its indecisiveness and for underhand deals to please USZA or extract commissions was this time caught between the devil and the deep sea. On one side was incensed USZA twisting its arms and on the other side were overcharged public and hyper media together with cries of the victims’ families who wanted Davis to be hanged. Publication of revealing stories about presence of hundreds of Davis type CIA and Blackwater agents had given rise to fears and had triggered heated debate. Finding itself in a logjam, the leadership maintained an ambivalent posture by neither confirming nor denying whether Davis enjoyed diplomatic immunity. While Gilani desiring to oblige the USZ reluctantly affirmed that legal mechanism would be allowed to prevail, Government machinery on the quiet kept working on the option of blood money.

Leaving aside sentiments and emotions for a while and opening the window of reason, logic and rationality, one will have to accept that the case was handled deftly. Keeping Davis in an isolated room in secluded Kot Lakhpat Jail for seven weeks in the face of extreme pressure, putting him on ECL, charge-sheeting him on double-murder and possession of illegal arms and ammunition, and not bending to USZ demand of releasing Davis forthwith on the basis of diplomatic immunity was not easy given the poor track record of our rulers. Till John Kerry’s visit, the attitude of all American officials was conceited and threatening. Each one indulged in tongue lashing on basis of diplomatic immunity. When no headway could be made, Kerry was dispatched to play a soothing tune of conciliation and bring back Davis. He put up a soft face and dangled carrot as well as stick but seeing the ugly mood of the public he considered it prudent to return back empty handed. He passed on the idea of blood money as taught to him by Hussein Haqqani, which sounded appealing to many. The USZ leadership was contemplating punishing Pakistan for causing discomfiture to one of its citizens. The entire top brass of USZA as well as CIA frothing at the mouths and fuming with anger had to change their demeanour of haughtiness to conciliation and appeasement. Realising the complexity of legal course, it kept the option of payment of Diyat uppermost. It was ironic that the USZ had to ultimately seek relief for their man from Islamic law which it reviles from the bottom of its heart. Notwithstanding habitual arrogance of USZ leaders towards compliant leaders of third world, release of Davis may help in making them more compassionate and understanding towards the Muslim countries.

Gen Kayani expressed his serious concern to senior military leadership of USZA at Oman. He forthrightly asked them that instead of seeking Davis release they should clarify whether his anti-Pakistan activities were justified and whether USZA or Pakistan is playing a double game. CIA which was behaving like a rampaging bull in a chinaware shop has for the first time started to listen to ISI’s security concerns expressed by Lt Gen Pasha and has agreed to bridle its agents let loose in Pakistan and curtail its shady activities. Panetta has ceded to ISI’s request of furnishing full details of all under cover agents working in various guises and has reportedly repatriated over 35 of its operatives. This exercise is equally important for USZA to ensure security of its citizens working in Pakistan in the backdrop of raised tempers of the public. While it will be naïve to expect the CIA to transform itself from a devil into a saint, it is fair to assume that in future its covert operations will be undertaken with due care and caution and it may show greater sensitivity to Pakistan’s concerns. We on our part should tone down our expectations and lessen our economic dependence on USZA to hope for mutually sustaining relationship.

Davis was not released on orders of Zardari but through a legal procedure in which no graft or commission was involved. It was not possible to obtain willingness and written affidavits of all the 19 members of the affected families if pressure had been applied, particularly when each member was quizzed by the judge separately. With regard to forgiveness in return of Diyat (blood money), which is in conformity with Islamic principles, President Zardari and Army chief played a key role in getting the amount raised to Rs two hundred million, plus green cards and jobs in USZA for the heirs of the deceased. Share for Shumaila’s family who had committed suicide has also been catered for, and so is the case for Ubaidur Rehman’s family. The amount has either been paid by the family of Davis, or CIA or Saudi government but certainly not by our government. Had due course of law been allowed to be completed, it would have taken a very long time and there were dim chances of Davis getting convicted. The case getting transferred to International Court of Justice was a distinct possibility in which case the decision in all probability would have gone in favour of Davis. While Davis would have suffered the pangs of prolonged confinement, but his suffering would have been at the cost of disruption of Pak-USZ relations, impositions of harsh sanctions and stoppage of loan facilities from world institutions, thus adding to the miseries of the people already groaning under weight of poverty.

It is a matter of satisfaction to note that for the first time such a large amount has been wholly received by the members of deprived class and rulers have not asked for their share. From among over 35000 Pakistanis who have lost their lives at the hands of faceless terrorists and hundreds killed by unknown target killers, these 19 members of two aggrieved families together with Ibad’s family are the only fortunate ones who have been richly compensated for the tragedy that befell upon them. I wish them good luck in all their future doings. But for the revengeful drone strikes on 17 March killing innocent people, Davis release may not have evoked such a strong backlash. Horrific incident of burning of Holy Quran in Florida by a fanatic preacher Terry Jones has deeply injured the feelings of each and every Muslim in Pakistan. This unfortunate and condemnable incident is likely to further heighten anti-Americanism and reinforce the impression that America is more intolerant and extremist than any other country.

“Kayani not trustworthy”, CIA operative Bruce Riedel informs Mike Mullen, James Jones & Robert Gates


The USZ, which blows hot and cold in its tempestuous relationship with Pakistan, is currently passing through a phase of denial and has acquired the services of Bob Woodward & Bruce Riedel to malign Pakistan. Bob Woodward, considered by some as an “investigative journalist”, in his latest book titled: “Obama’s wars”, has attacked Pakistan tooth and nail. As a propaganda prop, Mr. Woodward uses the notorious Pakistan basher, Bruce Riedel, a former CIA operative and one of the architects of America’s AF-Pak policy. According to Woodward, Bruce Riedel told Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of USZ Staff Admiral Mike Mullen recently not to trust the Pakistani Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani calling him a “liar”.

Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani
Woodward contends that President Barack Obama’s aides think that General Kayani is stonewalling Washington’s call for decisive action against terrorists’ safe havens in the country’s turbulent tribal belt. He states that top Obama administration officials say that Kayani has refused to adhere to any of the four demands of the US conveyed to him during a trip made by top aides in May last year just after a failed bomb plot at Times Square in New York by Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad. Admiral Mullen, did not heed Bruce Riedel, and went ahead to build a person-to-person relationship and had faith in the commitment shown by the Pakistan army chief. At a White House meeting on March 11, attended by National Security Advisor General (Rtd) James Jones, Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Mullen, Riedel urged Mullen not to trust Kayani as he was a liar.

James Jones (left) / Robert Gates (right)
“I have known every head of ISI since the mid-1980s”, Riedel is quoted as saying. “Kayani is either not in control of his organization or he is not telling the truth. The USZ should see the obvious and connect the dots. The Pakistanis are lying”, he said. Addressing Mullen, he said, “you have met Kayani some dozen times, you know him better than anyone else. My impression is that he falls into the second category – liar”, the book says.

Woodward, who was given access to some of the classified documents as part of writing his book, wrote that Mullen did not disagree. The book also draws on crucial visits undertaken by CIA chief Leon Panetta and Jones to Islamabad to convey Obama’s warning that USZ would have no other option but to respond if Pakistan did not take decisive action against “terrorists” and their safe havens. The book says that after meeting Zardari, Panetta and Jones met Kayani to tell the Pakistani army chief that the clock was now starting on all the four requests made by Obama. But Kayani would not budge very much.

He had other concerns. “I’ll be the first to admit, I’m India centric”, he said, according to the book. Another jab has been taken by the New York Times which reports that a warning by General David H Petraeus, the Commander of USZ and NATO forces in Afghanistan, indicates USZ officials’ belief that the Pakistanis are unlikely to launch a military operations in North Waziristan, which is considered to be a haven for the fictitious “al-Qaeda” operatives. “Petraeus wants to turn up the heat on the safe havens”, a senior official was quoted as saying, and this was the reason that USZ forces had sharply stepped up drone strikes in the area. “He has pointed out to the Pakistanis that they could do more”, New York Times reports. As part of its covert war in the region, the CIA has launched 20 drone attacks in the last 24 days, killing more than 100 Taliban and foreign militants. The strikes have been mainly targeted to hit the Haqqani network, which the Americans believed is based in the area. The fact is that these propaganda operations only reveal the frustration of USZ Defence personnel over the failure of their war in Afghanistan. They are now looking for a scapegoat and if they think Pakistan fits the bill, they are sadly mistaken. Pakistan will not tolerate any attack on its sovereignty and any propaganda war against it is likely to fail.

Woodword rights on:
“The USZ was getting nowhere fast with these guys, talking with Zardari, who could deliver nothing. On the other hand, Kayani had the power to deliver, but he refused to do much. Nobody could tell him otherwise. The bottom line was depressing: This had been a charade. Jones said he was once again alarmed that success in Afghanistan was tied to what the Pakistanis would or would not do. The White House was almost right back to where it had started with Pakistan in 2009.”

What is Traitorware? - Technology that secretly spies on you

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page



Your digital camera may embed metadata into photographs with the camera's serial number or your location. Your printer may be incorporating a secret code on every page it prints which could be used to identify the printer and potentially the person who used it. Your web browser may report your Internet surfing information to some ghost remote machine without your notice, stealing your usernames / passwords to spy on you through automated bots. If Apple puts a particularly creepy patent it has recently applied for into use, you can look forward to a day when your iPhone may record your voice, take a picture of your location, record your heartbeat, and send that information back to the mothership. This is traitorware: devices that act behind your back to betray your privacy.

Perhaps the most notable example of traitorware was the Sony rootkit. In 2005 Sony BMG produced CD's which clandestinely installed a rootkit onto PC's that provided administrative-level access to the users' computer. The copy-protected music CD’s would surreptitiously install its DRM technology onto PC’s. Ostensibly, Sony was trying prevent consumers from making multiple copies of their CD’s, but the software also rendered the CD incompatible with many CD-ROM players in PC’s, CD players in cars, and DVD players. Additionally, the software left a back door open on all infected PC’s which would give Sony, or any hacker familiar with the rootkit, control over the PC. And if a consumer should have the temerity to find the rootkit and try to remove the offending drivers, the software would execute code designed to disable the CD drive and trash the PC.


Traitorware is sometimes included in products with less obviously malicious intent. Printer dots were added to certain color laser printers as a forensics tool for law enforcement, where it could help authenticate documents or identify forgeries. Apple’s scary-sounding patent for the iPhone is meant to help locate and disable the phone if it is lost or stolen. Don’t let these good intentions fool you! Software that hides itself from you while it gives your personal data away to a third party is dangerous and dishonest. As the Sony BMG rootkit demonstrates, it may even leave your device wide open to attacks from third parties.

The most recent example of traitorware is Google's famous browser Chrome that keeps on "updating" even when the browser is up-to-date. It installs a separate updater service on the client computer which remains active even when the browser is not open. And interestingly, you will never find this cute little updater service silent on the network! As it was exposed by a well known TV anchor Alex Jones, Google has been affiliated with CIA and NSA(National Security Agency) for the last many years and they are providing their "services" worldwide free of cost just for the sake of keeping an eye on everyone. This is the only reason why China blasted Google and banned its website network as well as its products inside China.

Pakistan arrests a senior member of Jundullah (CIA sponsored terrorist group)

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

Pakistan Security Forces have arrested Abdulrauf Rigi, a senior member of the terrorist CIA sponsored group Jundallah. On December 15, a terrorist attack took place at the Imam Hussein Mosque in Chabahar in Sistan-Baluchestan Province where people were commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the beloved grandson of Holy Prophet s.a.w. At least 38 mourners were killed and more than 89 others, including women and children, were injured. Iran says the perpetrators behind the Chabahar terrorist attack were trained and equipped by foreign elements beyond the country's eastern borders in Pakistan.

Jundullah has claimed responsibility for the attack. The CIA operated group has carried out numerous terrorist attacks in Iran through Pakistan to cause friction between the two friendly neighbour Muslim brother countries. Its leader Abdolmalek Rigi was arrested by Iranian intelligence forces in February 2010 and executed in June for 79 counts of crime, including armed robbery, bombing operations and armed attacks on police and civilians.

Shahzain Bugti & 27 others arrested with huge arms cache (CIA connection exposed)


The Frontier Corps Balochistan arrested Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti, provincial President of Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP), along with his 27 bodyguards at Baleli Checkpost near Quetta and seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition from their possession on Wednesday. A 17-vehicle convoy of Shahzain Bugti was coming back to Quetta from Chaman when FC personnel stopped it for search at the checkpost.

After search, the FC personnel allegedly recovered 50 Kalashnikovs, four LMGs, seven other guns and 47,000 bullets. The FC personnel wanted to arrest Shahzain Bugti. The JWP leader refused to surrender before them and instead he offered that he and his bodyguards would surrender to police. The FC sources said instead of surrendering, Shahzain Bugti made an attempt to flee from the area but his attempt was foiled by the securitymen, arresting Shahzain and his bodyguards. At that moment, Shah Zain Bugti asked the FC security men to talk to his friend in American Embassy which clearly means that he was working on the agenda of CIA. They were shifted to headquarters of Ghazaband Scouts.


Later addressing a news conference along with Inspector-General Police Balochistan Malik Muhammad Iqbal at Ghazaband Scouts headquarters, Inspector- General Frontier Corps (FC) Maj-Gen Obaidullah Khan said on a tip-off from secret agencies, the cavalcade of Shahzain was stopped at Baleli Checkpost for search. He said the FC personnel during search recovered arms from three vehicles of Shahzain’s caravan while the JWP leader did not allow search of other vehicles. The IG FC said after three hours, the FC personnel searched the rest of the vehicles and recovered arms and ammunitions concealed in them. +ACI-The FC personnel asked the JWP leader to show arms licences and permits but he failed to present any document,+ACI- he added. He said the FC without use of any force arrested Shahzain and his bodyguards and shifted them to the headquarters of Ghazaband Scouts.

CIA head sued for $500 million by Drone Attack Victim

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

According to reports, a Pakistani journalist who has been based in North Waziristan Agency for quite sometime, has served legal notices, for the damages amounting to $500 million, on top three USZ officials for carrying out drone attacks in Pakistan’s bordering areas and killing his family members.

Kareem Khan, a journalist by profession, through his counsel has served legal notices on USZ Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates, Director Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Leon Panetta, and CIA Station Chief in Islamabad, Jonathan Banks through USZ embassy in Pakistan. The legal experts have considered the notices as the first ever legal notices that have been served on top USZ officials holding them responsible for carrying drone attacks in the territorial jurisdiction of Pakistan.

Director CIA, Leon Panetta

Kareem disclosed this in a jam-packed press conference along with his counsel, Mirza Shahzad Akbar at the National Press Club amid presence of national and international media. The journalist’s brother, Asif Iqbal, his son, Zaenullah Khan along with a mason were killed in a drone attack on 31st of December, 2009 in Village Machikhel, Tehsil Mir Ali of North Waziristan. Asif Iqbal, a schoolteacher by profession, had graduated in English Literature from National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Islamabad while Zaenullah Khan was employed as a helping staff in a local school. The horrible incident took place when missiles were fired by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) also known as ‘drone’ on the ‘Hujra’, situated within the four walls of the ancestral house of Khan.

Kareem, during the press conference, said that all the three persons killed in the drone attack were innocent and had nothing to do with the ‘so-called’ war on terror, saying it was an extra-judicial killing by all means. “My house was severely damaged and that Hujra converted into rubble”, he informed. He through his counsel alleged that CIA acted on faulty intelligence gathered from locals who were given money in return. The legal notice served on the USZ officials stated that CIA officials, being non-diplomat and non-armed forces members were operating drone attacks in Pakistan.

The notice stated that CIA Director, Leon Panetta admitted the command and control of drone attacks in Pakistan as he was reported in the media saying that ‘Drone attacks were precise and limited in terms of collateral damage’. “Our client’s case is a clear contradiction of what Panetta is proudly saying”, the legal notice added. Khan also challenged the precision of drone attacks especially questioned the precision of 31st of December 2009 attack wherein CIA took 3 innocent lives in a clandestine manner.

Kareem Khan through his counsel has said that no law, custom or authority gave CIA the permission to carry out killings in the sovereign territory of another country, saying it was the illegal act of CIA and USZ. He has termed the drone attack on his house a clear violation of UN’s Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the fundamental rights given to the citizens of Pakistan through the Constitution. The counsel for Khan has through the notice said, “Our client demands of you to immediately stop drone attacks in Pakistan saving any future loss of innocent lives and to pay to him the sum of USD 500 millions as compensation money for the loss caused to our client within 14 days from receipt of this notice”.

Jonathan Banks

The notice said that Khan would be entitled to institute proceedings in the court of law for the recovery of the referred sum if the respondents failed to reply the notice within stated time period. Kareem Khan in the press conference said that drone attacks were carried out in the tribal areas by CIA from Langley, Virgina, USZ and CIA’s Islamabad Station Chief, Jonathan Banks coordinated such intelligence through the network of on ground spies. He also requested the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior to put Jonathon Banks’s name on the exit control list (ECL) till the settlement of the issue after his legal claim. He maintained that Banks was not a USZ diplomat therefore he did not enjoy diplomatic immunity and his involvement in execution of his son and brother simply made him a murderer who was to be taken to task. He also requested Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to take suo moto notice of the matter and order Pakistan’s Government to protect its citizens from the American aggression.

Mirza Shahzad Akbar, the counsel for Khan, during the press conference said that he would pursue the case in a civil court of Islamabad and such notices could also be served on Pakistani officials for their alleged involvement. He termed it the responsibility of the USZ to respect the Pakistan’s court once the proceedings were initiated.

CIA's Six Legged Soldiers spread Dengue in Af-Pak - Detailed Analysis & History of Dengue Virus

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page


July 13, 2010: Officials in Florida released the findings of a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study conducted recently in the Key West area revealing that about 10 percent of the coastal town's population are infected with the dengue fever virus even inside U.S.Z. While the July 13 release made little mention of it, the CDC study was provoked by an earlier 2009 report that a woman in New York State, who had returned from a Florida Keys' visit, had contracted dengue fever. Within a few weeks of this initial report, two additional cases were discovered in people who had returned from Key West. Over the next three months of 2009, an additional 26 cases were identified, all tied to visits to the town. Now for the last 5 years, millions of infected mosquitoes are being deliberately unleashed in the South Asian region in order to weaken the afghan resistance against U.S.Z. in Afghanistan.


In nature, this type of massive viral infiltration never took place in the Af-Pak region. Although dengue has been present in nature for thousands of years but naturally, it was very rare. The statistics of the last 5 years show that Iran's province of Zabul (North East), Afghanistan's province of Nirmuz and Balouchistan suffered the earliest Dengue attacks in this region and have the most number of still infected patients and highest death tolls whereas in the North, Dengue is running rampant in Pakistan's northern areas, Afghanistan's Northern province of Badakhshan and China’s southern province Sinkyang.



Routes of Biological Infiltration in South Asia

Note that these are the areas where JSOC (Joint Secret Operations Command) of U.S.Z. has been deployed for the last 4-5 years inside Afghanistan. Also note that the mosquito Aedes aegypti that is being infected at CIA labs DOES NOT NATURALLY EXIST in this region! Is this a coincidence?

The genetically infected mosquito Aedes Aegypti during blood meal

Dengue fever is a virus-based disease spread by the bites of mosquitoes. It can be caused by any one of four separate but related viruses carried by infected mosquitoes, most commonly the mosquito Aedes aegypti, found in tropic and subtropic areas. It is commonly found in Southeast Asia, South and Central America, Indonesia and sub-Saharan Africa. Over the past several decades it has been consistently reported that dengue fever has been eradicated in North America. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a far more severe form of the dengue virus. If untreated, it can be fatal. There is no cure or vaccine for dengue fever yet because the CIA intends to further use it in the Af-Pak region in the coming years. One can only treat the symptoms in such ways as getting plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, take pain relievers with acetaminophen and promptly consult a skilled physician.

  • Untold History of Dengue
It appears highly unlikely that any "detective work"  performed by the CDC and Florida health officials will unearth evidence of dengue fever being imported into Florida, but that evidence certainly exists. Prior to the recent Key West findings and still today, the CDC has consistently reported that there have been no outbreaks of dengue fever in Florida since 1934 and none in the continental U.S.Z. since 1946. This report is incorrect.

The Biology Of Doom

Unknown to most of the world is that dengue fever has been the intense focus of U.S.Z. Army and CIA biological warfare researchers for over 50 years. Ed Regis notes in his excellent history of Fort Detrick, "The Biology of Doom", that as early as 1942 leading biochemists at the installation placed dengue fever on a long list for serious consideration as a possible weapon. In the early 1950s, Fort Detrick, in partnership with the CIA, launched a multi-million dollar research program under which dengue fever and several addition exotic diseases were studied for use in offensive biological warfare attacks. Assumably, because the virus is generally not lethal, program planners viewed it primarily as an incapacitant. Reads one CIA Project Artichoke document:

"Not all viruses have to be lethal ... the objective includes those that act as short-term and long-term incapacitants."

Several CIA documents, as well as the findings of a 1975 Congressional committee, reveal that three sites in Florida, Key West, Panama City and Avon Park, as well as two other locations in central Florida, were used for experiments with mosquito-borne dengue fever and other biological substances.

Fort Detrick in Maryland

The experiments in Avon Park, about 170 miles from Miami, were covertly conducted in a low-income African-American neighborhood that contained several newly constructed public housing projects. CIA documents related to its top-secret Project MK/NAOMI clearly indicate that the mosquitoes used in Avon Park were the Aedes aegypti type. Specially equipped aircraft, in one of the larger experiments, released 600,000 mosquitoes over the area. In one of the Avon Park experiments, about 150,000 mosquitoes were dropped in paper bags designed to open upon impact with the ground. Each bag held about 1,000 insects. Besides dengue, some of the mosquitoes were also carrying yellow fever.

Avon Park residents, still living in the area, say the experiments resulted in "at least 6 or 7 deaths." According to one elderly resident, "Nobody knew about what had gone on here for years, maybe over 20 years, but in looking back it explained why a bunch of healthy people got sick quick and died at the time of those experiments." Interestingly, at the same time experiments were conducted in Florida, there were at least two cases of dengue fever reported among civilian researchers at Fort Detrick in Maryland.

A 1978 Pentagon publication, entitled "Biological Warfare: Secret Testing & Volunteers," reveals that the Army's Chemical Corps and Special Operations and Projects Divisions at Fort Detrick conducted "tests" similar to the Avon Park experiments in Key West, but the bulk of the documentation concerning this highly classified and covert work is still held by the Pentagon as "secret". One former Fort Detrick researcher says the Army "performed a number of experiments in the area of the Keys", but that "not all concerned dengue virus."

In 1959, Fort Detrick launched its largest mosquito experiment called Operation Bellwether, consisting of over 50 field experiments. Some of these experiments, designed to ascertain the "rate of biting" and "mosquito aggressiveness", were conducted in partnership with scientists with the Rockefeller Institute in New York, where scientists bred their own strain of mosquitoes. Some of the Bellwether experiments were conducted in Florida, as well as in other states, including Georgia, Maryland, Utah and Arizona.

Rockefeller Center in Newyork

The 1978 Pentagon publication, along with two other Chemical Corps reports, reveal the identities of a number of the companies and institutions that assisted the Army in its offensive biological warfare experiments:
  • Armour Research Foundation (1951-1954)
  • The Battelle Memorial Institute (1952-1965)
  • Ben Venue Labs, Inc. (1953-1954)
  • University of Florida (1953-1956)
  • Florida State University (1951-1953)
  • The Lovell Chemical Company (1951-1955)
In the spring and summer of 1981, Cuba experienced a severe hemorrhagic dengue fever epidemic. Between May and October 1981, the island nation had 158 dengue-related deaths with about 75,000 reported infection cases. Prior to this outbreak, Cuba had reported only a very small number of cases in 1944 and 1977. At the height of the epidemic, over 10,000 people per day were found infected and 116,150 were hospitalized. At the same time as the 1981 outbreak, covert biological warfare attacks on Cuba's residents and crops were believed to have been conducted against the island by CIA contractors and military airplane flyovers. Particularly harmful to the nation was a severe outbreak of swine flu that Fidel Castro attributed to the CIA. American researcher William H. Schaap, an editor of Covert Action magazine, claims the Cuba dengue outbreak was the result of CIA activities. Former Fort Detrick researchers, all of whom refused to have their names used for this article, say they performed "advance work" on the Cuba outbreak and that it was "man made." A book entitled "Six Legged Soldiers" by Jeffrey A. Lockwood sheds considerable amount of light on these covert activities.

Six legged soldiers

In 1982, the Soviet media reported that the CIA sent operatives into Afghanistan from Pakistan to launch a dengue epidemic. The Soviets claimed the operatives were posing as malaria workers, but, instead, were releasing dengue-infected mosquitoes. The CIA denied the charges. In 1985 and 1986, authorities in Nicaragua accused the CIA of creating a massive outbreak of dengue fever that infected thousands in that country. CIA officials denied any involvement, but Army researchers admitted that intensive work with arthropod vectors for offensive biological warfare objectives had been conducted at Fort Detrick in the early 1980s, having first started in the early 1950s. Fort Detrick researchers reported that huge colonies of mosquitoes infected with not only dengue virus, but also yellow fever, were maintained at the Frederick, Maryland, installation, as well as hordes of flies carrying cholera and anthrax and thousands of ticks filled with Colorado fever and relapsing fever.

A review of declassified Army Chemical Corps documents reveal that the Army may have also been engaged in dengue fever research as early as the late 1940s. Several redacted Camp Detrick and Edgewood Arsenal reports indicate that experiments were conducted on state and federal prisoners who were unwitting exposed to dengue fever, as well as other viruses, some possibly lethal. Freedom of Information requests filed months ago for details on these early experiments remain unanswered.

  • Dengue Fever and BP Spill Complications

The timing of this outbreak of dengue fever presents two additional problems; the symptoms of dengue fever are very similar to that of exposures to chemicals such as those contained in crude oil and the dispersants currently being used in the contaminated areas of the Gulf of Mexico, potentially making it difficult to diagnose the source of a sufferer's symptoms. Worse yet, there looms the possibility that Corexit and other toxins present in the Gulf area may weaken the immune system, thus, setting the stage for more severe forms of the disease in people who are, or have previously been, exposed to the virus.


It is still unclear to what degree residents of the Gulf area, at large, have been or will be exposed to such chemicals in the long term, but there is mounting evidence that fishermen, cleanup workers, and others who spend significant time in contact with the Gulf waters are beginning to display symptoms consistent with chemically induced neurotoxicity. If dengue fever also spreads within the Gulf community, affecting a significant number of people, it will be increasingly difficult to differentiate the cause of symptoms in those who develop them; even in persons who test positive for dengue exposure, the additional possibility remains that chemical toxicity is present as well.

The presentation of dengue fever varies considerably from case to case. Numerous medical studies have identified asymptomatic infections, or infections that consist of only mild, flu-like symptoms that would likely not result in the sufferer seeking medical attention.

When more troubling symptoms are present, they vary considerably in severity. Milder cases of dengue fever are identified by a high fever accompanied by at least two of the following symptoms:
  • Severe headache
  • Severe eye pain (behind eyes)
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle and/or bone pain
  • Rash
  • Mild bleeding manifestation such as bleeding gums
  • Nose bleeds
  • Easy bruising
  • Low white cell count
In more severe cases, dengue can cause:
  • Severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting
  • Red blotches or patches on the skin
  • More severe bleeding of nose or gums
  • Vomiting of blood
  • Black, tarry excrement (indicative of the presence of blood in the stool)
  • Drowsiness
  • Irritability
  • Cold or clammy skin
  • Pallor
  • Difficulty breathing
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene has reported cases of dengue fever that resulted in neurological manifestations, as well.


Dengue fever can also cause a much more serious, hemorrhagic form of the disease, the presentation of which the CDC describes as follows:

"A fever that lasts from 2 to 7 days, with general signs and symptoms consistent with dengue fever. When the fever declines, warning signs may develop. This marks the beginning of a 24 to 48 hour period when the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) become excessively permeable ("leaky"), allowing the fluid component to escape from the blood vessels into the peritoneum (causing ascites) and pleural cavity (leading to pleural effusions). This may lead to failure of the circulatory system and shock and possibly death without prompt, appropriate treatment. In addition, the patient with DHF has a low platelet count and hemorrhagic manifestations, tendency to bruise easily or have other types of skin hemorrhages, bleeding nose or gums and possibly internal bleeding."

As if this were not troubling enough, let us compare the above symptom picture to the symptoms associated with exposure to the dispersants Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527. The exact risks of exposure to these chemicals have yet to be determined; in fact, the manufacturers' material safety data sheet (MSDS) for Corexit 9500 states:

"No toxicity studies have been conducted on this product."

The MSDS further states that one should not come in contact with the product or breathe its vapors and that adequate protective skin protection and breathing apparatuses should be worn when handling or working with the compound. Any hints of safe usage within the MSDS on these chemicals should be viewed from the following perspective: the MSDS data assumes limited exposure (for example, while applying the chemical) and the use of adequate protective gear. These statistics do not apply, therefore, to unprotected people who may be subject to long-term, consistent exposure.

Dr. Susan Shaw, a marine toxicologist, talked about her recent experience with shrimpers who had been working in the Gulf waters. In an interview on CNN, she addressed the situation of a shrimper who had thrown his net into water, causing the water to splash onto his unprotected skin. She reported that he developed a "headache that lasted 3 weeks, heart palpitations, muscle spasms, bleeding from the rectum and that's what this Corexit does, it ruptures red blood cells, causes internal bleeding and liver and kidney damage". She asserts that the combination of oil from the well, combined with Corexit dispersant, increases the toxicity of both substances. In combination they are skin permeable and that they aerosolize to produce a breathing hazard as well. The toxins can enter the body through the respiratory tract, but are unlikely to remain localized in the lungs, instead spreading throughout one's entire body system.



Numerous reports have come in from both residents of the Gulf area and journalists visiting the area that many people who are exposed to the water are beginning to experience health problems. Among the most commonly reported symptoms are burning eyes, skin rashes, lightheadedness, dizziness, difficulty breathing, transient numbness and shooting pains, persistent coughing, sore throats, muscle and bone aches, weakness and severe fatigue. More troubling reports, such as those of the shrimpers mentioned above, have included bleeding from the nose and from the rectum, as well as permanent numbness in extremities and complete loss of the sense of smell. It is generally accepted in the medical literature that, although the initial, acute presentation of toxic exposure is generally the most severe, symptoms may linger indefinitely or even result in permanent damage to the body.

Herein lies the dilemma: If a Gulf resident becomes ill, to what do we attribute his or her symptoms? In addition to the dispersants themselves, Gulf residents are potentially suffering from exposure to benzene and other toxic chemicals that are naturally present in crude oil, as well as several potentially toxic gases being released from the well. In combination with the dispersant, the exact toxicity risk of these chemicals remains unknown.

Add now, to the picture, the risk of having contracted dengue fever and the puzzle becomes more difficult to piece together. The CDC's 2009 survey contained samples from only 240 households and determined that about 5 percent of the residents had antibodies to the dengue virus, indicating either current infection or a prior exposure. This relatively small sample may not be indicative of the Florida population as a whole and may not be a valid indicator of the overall number of exposed people in the surrounding areas.

The medical literature indicates that dengue virus, like many other viruses, may remain in the body in a latent form; during latency, the virus is unlikely to cause symptoms. A second infection with dengue, however, can lead to a much more severe presentation of the disease and a greater likelihood of it progressing to its hemorrhagic (and potentially fatal) form. Likewise, the literature indicates that a severe assault to the immune system presents a risk of virus reactivation and resultant disease.

Wolves of Jesuits now known as CIA


Dr. Shaw's assessment of the dangers of Corexit dispersant, particularly in combination with the other contaminants resulting from the damaged BP oil well, includes the potential for severe damage to the immune system. Such immune system suppression or damage, it seems, could then reactivate dengue fever in residents who carry the latent virus, perhaps even resulting in a more severe form of the disease's presentation.

Assuming the above quoted assessments of the current situation in Florida are accurate, the presence of the dengue virus in Florida at this time makes for a nightmarish picture. Not only is there a tremendous symptom overlap between dengue virus and toxin exposure, up to and including the potential for a hemorrhagic presentation of both, but there looms on the horizon a new and frightening possibility: The combined presence of this disease and a toxic environment might have the potential to combine, making an already tragic situation incrementally worse.

What are we doing?
