<<Are Russian Nukes Buried in the US? The lost luggage in the FBI basement. WASHINGTON ? A Pennsylvania congressman is warning the FBI that there may be old, suitcase-size Soviet nuclear bombs buried throughout the United States. So far, FBI agents have already combed through Brainerd, Minn., hoping to discover secret stockpiles of everything from nuclear weapons to pistols, radios, maps and currency, congressional sources told The New York Post. "There is no doubt that the Soviets stored material in this country. The question is what and where," Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., told The Post. >> & those idiots at the ATF are worried about the American people having a few firearms.

Plum Island Investigation - Dangerous Territory, Indeed By Patty Doyle <amiga@bestweb.net> 11-7-99 (Note - Patty Doyle is a citizen...not a professional journalist...who has been independently investigating the mutated West Nile Virus outbreak in NY and the apparent high-level germ warfare research at Plum Island.) I first learned about Plum Island, the Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, in June of this year. A chance meeting of an acquaintance, who had been an independent contractor for Plum Island, has led me into this investigation oddessy. At the time of our discussion, he expressed his concern for safety issues at Plum Island. In fact, he was so concerned that he quit after only 2 weeks. Plum Island is located near the North Fork area of Long Island, New York. It is about 2 miles from Orient Pt., and 13 miles across the Long Island Sound from the US Naval Submarine base at Groton, Ct. It is also about 10 miles across the Sound from Old Lyme, Ct. Plum Island is only accessable by Government ferry. History The island and its animal disease facility were formerly known as Ft. Terry. Ft. Terry was named for Army Maj. Gen. Alfred N. Terry. Plum Island, land born of retreating glacial ice, was once settled by Thomas Gardiner (1724-1786), who was the Son of Narragansett's John Gardiner. Thomas Gardiner's tombstone, remains on the island. Plum Island, a scruffy, pork chop shapped piece of land, is named for the sea plums that grow along its shoreline. It has belonged to the Government in part, and then, entirely, since 1826. In 1826, the precursor to our modern Coast Guard was deeded several acres of the southwestern tip of the island...the site where the present lighthouse sits today. In 1897, another 150 acres of the 643 acres was given to the Government for 'defense.' In 1901, the War Department was then given the remainder of the island. Plum Island, located just south of Block Island, is ideally situated at the Atlantic Ocean approach to New York City...which is 136 miles away. During World War II, the island was augmented and updated by the government. In 1948, when Foot and Mouth Disease was officially eradicated, an animal disease laboratory was built on the Island. At that time FMD, as well as other diseases affecting livestock, were to be studied. The Iron Curtain had just descended upon Europe, and the US began biowar research to study ways of destroying Soviet livestock. In 1954, when Ft. Terry officially closed its doors, 134 strains of 13 viruses collected from all over the world were handed over the new Plum Island Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Center. Early documentation does suggest that Plum Island was, indeed, involved in biological war research. The biowar research continued until the biological warfare program was 'officially' ended in 1969 by President Richard Nixon. Biocontainment Level 5 Officially listed as a Level 3 facility, I have deteremined that Plum Island is, in reality, a Biocontainment Level 5 Facility...the only known such facility in the U.S. According to documents that I have obtained from the 1998 USAHA (United States Animal Health Association) website, Dr. Mike Kiley, and also the previous Director (until July 1999) Dr. Alfonso Torres, both refer to Plum Island as the "only Biocontainment Level 5 Facility in the U.S." Biocontainment at Level 5 is partially-dependent (cont) sightings.com
