Just learned about this from a friend on a gaming site who is a Houston resident. He posted the bio lab info but also mentioned many bodies washing up on shore...

He posted:

This is NOT good my friends. I talked to a coworker and she told me a friend of hers talked to a doctor from the area. Doctor told her that there is a media black out and that bodies are washing onshore that could surpass Katrina. I think I'm going to be sick. There's more. Seems the black out is not just for the bodies, but also because there was some kind of Bio Lab there. See the link.

I'm going home...I'm feeling ill right about now.
I'm hearing about entire families getting wiped out.
(emphasis added)


From bio lab link (the whole article is worth a read):


Amidst the tragedy arises a new concern.

We now know of a facility euphemistically called the "University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston" (UTMB), whose website proclaims, "An academic health center dedicated to educating science professionals and researchers....solving biomedical puzzles through research...", that contains a Level-IV Bio Lab, one of only five in the United States. Level 4 is the highest bio-hazard level, and the most dangerous. Even the prestigious National Research Council criticized a federal government analysis that concluded that these labs pose no health threat to heavily populated communities, like Boston's South End and Galveston. One cannot but wonder what sort of demented individual or group would advocate such a facility anywhere near a heavily populated area, much less one on a barrier island in a flood plane and hurricane-prone region.

A Level 4 Bio-hazard Lab routinely handles agents comprising biological weapons of mass destruction. The NRC report states the U.S. government "... failed to adequately consider the dangers of working with the world's deadliest germs, including Ebola and plague, in the middle of a congested urban neighborhood." Such a facility is in an area of residential structures that suffered water seven feet deep in the first floor, not to mention the high winds and towering waves. The official response to inquiry is that only "minor" damage was sustained, but the entire complex has been taken over by the military, and no reporters have been allowed near the labs.

To put this in perspective, consider the lab announcement from the University website:

"The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston is the site of the $167 million facility. Of the total 83,000-square-foot building, 12,362 square feet will be devoted to biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) research.

BSL-4 space is secure for work with "dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections and life-threatening disease," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among BSL-4 safeguards are special air seals and air ducts to and from the lab, individual air supplies for researchers, required personal protection suits for workers, and numerous levels of security for entry. Such labs study diseases including anthrax, Ebola, SARS, and others."

18. Ft Dietrick is in a heavily populated area.

Fort Detrick is located in Frederick, Maryland, in the heart of Frederick County, the third fastest growing county in Maryland. Fort Detrick is the center of the biomedical technology growth that has occurred in the county. Fort Detrick is located approximately one hours drive from Washington D.C. metro area and Baltimore, Maryland, easily accessible by major interstate highways.

The psychopath pigs running this government do not like us plebeians,they however do love our cheap labor making them rich, and abusing us because they think they can..They put bio-weapons labs where people are because the public can become unwitting test subjects.

The last I heard is 51 confirmed deaths from Ike.  Level IV containment centers are probably safer than walking around any hospital with sick people in it.

They don't mention Plum Island?  At one time, it was rumored to be a center for biological warfare.
Quote
At the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has an important job.

We work to protect farm animals, farmers and ranchers, the nation's farm economy and export markets... and your food supply.

Plum Island is located off the northeastern tip of New York's Long Island. USDA activities at Plum Island are carried out by scientists and veterinarians with the department's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

We're proud of our role as America's first line of defense against foreign animal diseases.

We're equally proud of our safety record. Not once in our nearly 50 years of operation has an animal pathogen escaped from the island.

In 2003 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) joined us on the island, taking responsibility for the safety and security of the facility.

28. No, No, No, No
   man don't do this, it makes us look stupid. I worked there for 13 years. That lab was decontaminated and all the material was properly secured. Believe me, I know. I once worked in the department there that did the securing.

Which brought a reply from the op that has to go down in history as one of the most foolishly ironic ever,given the original premise..

31. link?
   That's not mentioned in the story, though I suppose it could be true. But what reason is there for me to take your word for it? I have no idea who you are. (that's not meant to be a personal jab, but this is a public internet message board you know)

However, what is definitely true is there is a media blackout. And I'm quite certain there is a damn good reason that BushCo has ordered it and I'm not going to just accept what the republicans in charge tell me.

It does not make anyone look stupid to try to find out the truth. Stupid in this day and age is accepting what BushCo says without questioning it. As bad as our media is to us they are not even being allowed to get any info at this point. That should tell you something right there.

I'm surprised one of the dummies haven't connected UTMB Hospital Galveston providing medical care to Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmates to the existance of a Biolab   ::)

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

What a bunch of retards.  UTMB is a great medical school...turning out really good doctors.  My late uncle Jim graduated for there many years ago and spent almost 40 years as a family practicioner.
