I'm pretty sure it's also for sale...

EDIT: It is for sale, and the org I work for is working to preserve most of it as a park/preserve, instead of another billiomillionaire playground out east here.

And is on its way to Kansas. I live on Long Island, and the Island of Dr. Moreau here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_of_Dr._Moreau_%281996_film%29

is primarily an animal (?) disease control center. With awesomeness like hoof-and-mouth disease. It's bad enough that I can almost reach Plum Island with a baseball from Orient...

but I'd almost rather have it here. In the water -- albeit next to one of the highest population centers on the planet, instead of smack dab in the middle of America. We've all seen -- or read -- The Stand.

weaponized ticks?!

Lyme disease... It gets it's name from Old Lyme, Connecticut which is about 8 miles from Plum Island.

Across water. Do ticks handle salt water well?

Not sure, but that's assuming a tick escaped from the lab and swam across. Some have speculated they were dropped off in Lyme intentionally. I don't know, I just know of the theory.

Ticks infest the shorelines of Long Island. And the rest of it, so I guess they do. So many people have Lyme disease here.

I meant swimming. It's an ISLAND.

There are plenty of BOATS to hitch a ride on. That's one of the main reasons for Asian invasive species here. Shipping industry.

Yeah, it's a government owned research island, so I doubt there are that many ships docking there.

Because the government doesn't use ships. Plus, civilians are allowed to tour if invited.

On deer perhaps.

Well, the deer would have to cross to the island and then back. They would also have to have shit bio-security to allow the ticks to escape the actual facility.

Actually that's exactly what happened and is documented in the very cool book "Lab 257":

Ticks use deer as hosts. Deer are excellent swimmers. Other critters/bacteria can be carried on fowl.

I'e had several of those "weaponized" ticks on me over the years.

It's no theory that the source of Lyme disease is the result of experimentation to produce this sort of biological warfare.

I read somewhere that the DOD/DHS lab was moved to Kansas in 2009.

I might be wrong but I think that was scrapped due to NIMBY protests. Last I heard they were looking at Montana or Colorado as alternates.

Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center. Sounds charming.

The Nazis have been gone since 1945. Those were German scientists who were forced to work for the US which has been under Jewish Zionist control since the end of WW II.

I suppose you've got some proof of the 'great Jewish Zionist conspiracy?

It is all around for those with eyes to see...and a good internet connection. Many, many people are red pilled now.

So it's all poorly edited, unsourced youtube videos then. It's funny, Hitler once referred to the Jews as maggots infesting a sore, bit I think that's a comparison better reserved for you people.

if you can not see mr galt you are blind indeed.
