                 (Karra goes over the horrors of
                          chemical and biological warfare as the weapons
                          inspectors in Iraq were being kicked out
                          before finding what was being produced. She
                          uses analogies of what could have taken place
                          to educate us on why such weapons should never
                          be utilized.)
 
 
 Russ:
                                          well my dear, I believe you
                                          have some information for me.
 
 Karra: yes, why did Tia bring
                                          up biological warfare?
 
 (makes a sound like she’s
                                          shivering in horror)
 
 Russ: I don’t know but
                                          she…..you’re the expert she
                                          says.
 
 Karra: you can put in shivers
                                          in horror. Biological
                                          warfare…..
 
 Russ: what a cheerful topic
                                          this is going to be.
 
 Karra: yes. Okay opening
                                          statement, the purpose of
                                          warfare is to defeat your
                                          enemy, plain and simple.
                                          Biological warfare is a
                                          nightmare. Atomic warfare
                                          using lasers and atomic
                                          weapons and equipment is
                                          horrific but, compared to
                                          chemical warfare and
                                          biological warfare it's
                                          nothing, it is clean, it is
                                          tidy. Gives you a rough idea
                                          of how horrible biological
                                          warfare is. For example, using
                                          bacteria and viruses.
                                          Tuberculosis is almost
                                          eradicated except for a new
                                          strain that has occurred that
                                          is resistant to all forms of
                                          antibiotics that worked
                                          before.
 
 Russ: whew.
 
 Karra: smallpox is eradicated,
                                          smallpox is horrible. Cholera
                                          is almost eradicated, bubonic
                                          plague is almost eradicated or
                                          easily controllable however,
                                          new strains of these are far
                                          more deadly and far more nasty
                                          than atomic weapons. Now in
                                          biological weapons, there is a
                                          very, very nasty subcategory,
                                          viral weapons. Not bacteria,
                                          viral weapons, viruses. Now,
                                          let us say……..and this is
                                          horrible……..you wanted to wipe
                                          out all persons of Native
                                          American, German and Irish
                                          descent. Now, certain genes
                                          from those individuals can be
                                          taken, manipulated and turned
                                          into a virus that will attack
                                          only individuals of that
                                          genetic background. Let’s make
                                          it even nastier….
 
 Russ: population of the United
                                          States practically.
 
 Karra: let’s say you want to
                                          eradicate only men….
 
 Russ: eeeeee.
 
 Karra: you can do that. Let us
                                          say you want to eradicate only
                                          men of Native American
                                          descent, Irish descent, German
                                          descent with blue eyes, you
                                          can do that. You can release
                                          it into the atmosphere and it
                                          will kill only those
                                          individuals. Let us say you
                                          want to kill all blonde women
                                          of Celtic background, you can
                                          do that. Your planet has the
                                          technology and capability,
                                          that is why I say it is
                                          horrific.
 
 Russ: this is a genetic weapon
                                          isn’t it?
 
 Karra: correct. Now let us go
                                          back to viral
                                          weapons…..bacteria weapons.
                                          Let us say you take…..
 
 Russ: oh $%^*#@.
 
 Karra: what?
 
 Russ: genetic weapons isn’t a
                                          new weapon I take it then?
 
 Karra: no, it’s not a new
                                          weapon.
 
 Russ: I know all about genetic
                                          weapons then don’t I?
 
 Karra: correct.
 
 Russ: damn it.
 
 (from a past life her and I
                                          had shared in Atlantis as
                                          geneticists)
 
 Karra: now, let us say you
                                          take a bacteria weapon such as
                                          bubonic plague, where pustules
                                          swell up on the human body and
                                          explode. You can deal with
                                          that, you have approximately
                                          seven days in which to deal
                                          with it. However, with a
                                          little bit of gene
                                          manipulation of the bacteria,
                                          you can make it so nasty you
                                          can wipe out a city population
                                          in the space of 48 hours. Not
                                          enough time to respond and
                                          what’s more, if you wait long
                                          enough, up to three months
                                          there’s no trace of it if you
                                          do a little bit of gene
                                          manipulation. So, how do you
                                          deliver such a device? Oh
                                          many, many different ways of
                                          doing that. From the air, in
                                          the water, the most common
                                          one, in the water, it’s
                                          horrible. Why Tia brought that
                                          up is because that’s what the
                                          Iraqis are experimenting with.
                                          Biological warfare makes
                                          chemical, which is very
                                          horrific, which is even worse
                                          than nuclear weapons is very
                                          horrific. Now here’s the
                                          really scary, scary part, it’s
                                          very hard to detect biological
                                          weapons, very hard.
 
 Russ: hmm, people start dying
                                          by the millions, it’s not
                                          tough to figure out.
 
 Karra: not necessarily.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Karra: let us take a little
                                          mutation. Now I know for a
                                          fact that this is not so but
                                          there are people out there
                                          that might say it is. You take
                                          a little animal critter, a
                                          primate that is suffering from
                                          a wasting disease and you
                                          create a mutation in the virus
                                          and you set it up in such a
                                          way that one individual is
                                          bitten by one of these
                                          primates that is suffering
                                          from this shrinking disorder,
                                          this skinny disease and the
                                          blood mixes. Blood from the
                                          gums mix with the blood from
                                          the cut on the human, what
                                          have you just done?
 
 Russ: Ebola.
 
 Karra: no, you’ve created an
                                          immune deficiency syndrome
                                          or……
 
 Russ: A.I.D.S..
 
 Karra: correct.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Karra: that is how easy
                                          biological warfare is. You
                                          take a everyday common virus,
                                          the common flu virus. A little
                                          bit of manipulation and you
                                          have a very nasty, virulent
                                          virus.
 
 Russ: yeah but the knowledge
                                          to manipulate that is not an
                                          easy knowledge to attain.
 
 Karra: no, it’s not but any
                                          biologist that goes on further
                                          in their education can do it.
 
 Russ: well what’s interesting
                                          is, is that the resolution
                                          within the Security Council
                                          condemning Iraq for keeping
                                          out these UN inspectors……
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: is passing at record
                                          speed through the UN Council.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: I think maybe because of
                                          this knowledge that they have
                                          also.
 
 Karra: correct. Biological
                                          warfare or germ warfare is so
                                          insidious, so horrific, so
                                          nasty and so uncontrollable.
 
 Russ: why use it?
 
 Karra: why use it?
 
 Russ: yeah. Why…..it seems
                                          like what if you get caught?
                                          The consequences to your
                                          country are devastating.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well you remember we did
                                          read about a book about
                                          this…..
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: "Executive Decision" by
                                          Tom Clancy.
 
 Karra: yes.
 
 Russ: which described
                                          something quite similar using
                                          the Ebola virus.
 
 Karra: correct. So you
                                          see........
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Karra: biological weapons do
                                          what?
 
 Russ: kill mass people.
 
 Karra: uh-huh and what do they
                                          make chemical weapons look
                                          like?
 
 Russ: toys.
 
 Karra: what do they make
                                          nuclear weapons look like?
 
 Russ: bigger toys.
 
 Karra: uh-huh because
                                          biological weapons, you can’t
                                          detect until it’s way, way too
                                          late. Scary huh?
 
 Russ: uh-huh. Well……
 
 Karra: and……
 
 Russ: well the UN is pretty
                                          wise to this by now though and
                                          with the inspections being
                                          held back….
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: they're probably getting
                                          an idea of what’s going on and
                                          therefore they're going to be
                                          looking for that more than
                                          anything else.
 
 Karra: okay now here’s the
                                          real cruncher on the
                                          biological weapons. You can
                                          set it up in such a way that
                                          certain circumstances have to
                                          occur.
 
 Russ: if we're so awesome at
                                          getting these genes to do what
                                          we want them to do, what if we
                                          were to use them all for
                                          peaceful purposes? Couldn't we
                                          achieve the standards that
                                          Ashtar Command has achieved or
                                          at least come close to that?
 
 Karra: I don’t know, I don’t
                                          know. Okay let us say that the
                                          Germans or the Nazis in 1944
                                          were doing gene research
                                          right?
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Karra: and they set it up in
                                          such a way that by
                                          distillation heading towards a
                                          common point, a virus can be
                                          created and it can take as
                                          long as a hundred years.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Karra: or that they introduce
                                          into the atmosphere something
                                          that is very, very slow to
                                          react and works on the
                                          principle of distillation?
                                          With biological weapons, you
                                          can set it to go off whenever
                                          you want. You see?
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Karra: okay, any questions?
 
 Russ: on this subject?
 
 Karra: you got lots.
 
 Russ: yeah I know I do but I
                                          didn't want to bring them up a
                                          whole bunch because it scares
                                          the hell out of me to even
                                          discuss this matter.
 
 Karra: yes it is scary isn’t
                                          it?
 
 Russ: well it just doesn’t
                                          seem like we are destined to
                                          go that route.
 
 Karra: no we’re not hopefully.
 
 Russ: I mean we’ve got enough
                                          problems on our plate.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: but, okay let’s say that
                                          there is the financial crash
                                          that comes along….
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: Iraq isn’t all that
                                          much……well Iraq is affected….
 
 Karra: correct.
 
 Russ: because it depends a lot
                                          on its imports.
 
 Karra: correct.
 
 Russ: therefore in its
                                          weakened state, they choose
                                          not to use that because by
                                          using that it would weaken the
                                          world economies even more and
                                          really bring all their
                                          problems down on their heads.
 
 Karra: I don’t know, I don’t
                                          know, you’d have to ask our
                                          political analyst that is
                                          going, “why did I bring up
                                          biological weapons? That opens
                                          up a whole new can of worms."
 
 Russ: yeah it does. Well we
                                          can certainly hope that the
                                          inspectors are as good as we
                                          hope they are.
 
 Karra: yes and I believe the
                                          tape is almost over.
 
 Russ: thank God.
 
 Karra: okay, well, I better
                                          depart hon.
 
 Russ: okay darling, I’ll see
                                          you tomorrow morning.
