Giuliani Delivers
A Dead Crow to Brooklynby Robert Lederman
robert.lederman@worldnet.att.net
August 15, 2000In Giuliani's favorite film, The Godfather, a newspaper-wrapped fish is delivered to the Godfather's home from a rival gangster. The message of death means, Luca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes. Trying to do Coppola one better, Giuliani delivers a dead crow to announce that your neighborhood has been selected for spraying.
Last night Brooklyn residents got our first crow of 2000 courtesy of the Grim Reaper look-alike, Giuliani. I love Brooklyn and have spent much of my life here. This is not a place where you can push people around without consequences.
It's a plplace where sitting on someone's car or just looking at them too long could get your head bashed in wiwith a baseball bat-Harold Giuliani's weapon of choice. The expression, "Are you lookin' at me?" originated here. Men, women and even little kids know how to be street tough when necessary-and sometimes when it's not necessary. Will Brooklyn put up a fight when the poison spray trucks roll down our streets in a day or two spewing their toxic gas?
Based on the way most New Yorkers have been totally passive in the face of being sprayed with nerve gasses so far, I don't think so. Last night on NY1 they interviewed a young, successful Wall Street type who said, "If Giuliani says it's safe then it's safe-that's enough for me". These safe chemicals that disrupt the endocrine and immune systems, cause birth defects, breast cancer and lower sperm counts-and are known in the pesticide and public health industries to actually increase the number of mosquitoes and the incidence of infection with encephalitis-are being sprayed in violation of the product label, Federal law and common sense. The spraying, not the mosquitoes, is the real public health emergency happening in NYC.
Some interpret the Mayor's spray festival as Giuliani being overcautious, enthusiastically over killing the mosquitoes in his characteristic manner while addressing a legitimate public health problem. If only it were so. As in so many other things Giuliani is associated with it turns out that the Manhattan Institute is a major proponent of pesticide use.
When Giuliani mocks anti-spray activists as, "hysterical environmental terrorists", he's merely paraphrasing Peter Huber, a senior fellow at the CIA/Rockefeller think tank whose book, Hard Green, proposes that environmental activists-not chemical and oil companies-are the real threat to the environment and public health. Asbestos, radiated foods, pesticides-they are actually good for us Huber argues.
The fact is-there is no West Nile Virus epidemic even among mosquitoes in NYC-although if Giuliani weakens mosquito immune systems enough by repeatedly spraying them with Anvil-perhaps we can still manage to have one. At the very least we will be certain to have new generations of pesticide-resistant mosquitoes that consider Anvil a delicacy.
While the dead crows the Manhattan Mengele has been using as his calling card could be coming from anywhere the most likely source is one of at least four NYC area government associated labs (Rockefeller University, Sloan Kettering, Plum Island off Long Island, and Trenton NJ) that have been playing with West Nile virus for many years. Some of these labs are also breeding genetically-engineered WNV-infected mosquitoes as part of experiments and were doing so years before the WNV outbreak in the Fall of 1999.
Like Mengele selecting which Jews would die immediately in the gas chambers and which would be assigned to be worked to death or reserved for his Eugenics experiments, Giuliani decides which Borough and which neighborhood will get their dead crow-announcement next. The Mayor's demonic sense of humor has him solemnly announce the discovery of each dead crow while intoning how "they"previously decided to spray in a two mile radius wherever a dead crow is found.
Who is this "they"he keeps referring to? Health Commissioner Neal Cohen, a psychiatrist who knows nothing more than the average TV reporter about pesticides and mosquitoes? Was it Sunny Mindel, his loyal press flack; Howard Koeppel and Eliot Cukor, his car salesmen/advisors; or Judy Nathan his mistress that Giuliani decided this with? Was it Clarke Mosquito Control, the company making tens of millions in chemical sales to NYC?
Or, was it Henry Kissenger, another Rockefeller/Manhattan Institute/CIA alumni who routinely advises Giuliani on policy matters? I'd guess it's Dr. Kissenger and Dr. Monath the VP of Oravax, the company that's been developing its West Nile virus vaccine since before the "epidemic"began and which stands to make billions if West Nile panic spreads throughout the U.S.
To win the NY State Lotto all it takes is a dollar and a dream. To get your neighborhood massively sprayed with nerve gas all it takes is one dead crow.
How hard is it to take one of the hundreds of deliberately-infected crows, either live or from the freezer, from any of the four or five NYC area laboratories that experiment with them, plant them by the road and wait for an obedient citizen-informer to report them. Or is planting them even necessary?
This City of skeptics is allowing itself to be used for a bio-warfare/eugenics experiment based on nothing more than the Mayor's word-a word that seven years' worth of daily lying on every public issue has rendered worthless.
Not one shred of verifiable evidence has been produced that can be examined by any independent scientist. No infected human, crow or mosquito blood or tissue samples. Not a single slide with a sample of WNV. No name of a single West Nile Virus "victim".
According to the 8/15/2000 NY Times the City just announced it will release the names and addresses of 21 New Yorkers with unpaid parking tickets. Unlike Patrick Dorismond whose privacy rights, according to former Justice Department #3 man Giuliani, "ended at death", these 21 people are alive and have not as yet been convicted of any crime. Do we all need to know their addresses but we can't know the name of a single person who died of WNV?
I know that exposure to pesticides causes cognitive difficulties but has it made every New Yorker this stupid this quickly? Twenty thousand New Yorkers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge last year to protest the shooting of Amadou Diallo. Why are those people silent about being sprayed with poison gas?
Where are the Al Sharptons, the Mark Greens, the Fernando Ferrers and the other Mayoral wannabees? Where are the unions or the useless and inneffective City Council members who lined up to be photographed being arrested to protest police brutality? While they worry about their careers and contracts we are being made into an entire city of Amadou Diallos.
The Bronx will be sprayed tonight, 8/15, because Adolf Giuliani claims a single dead crow was found. This afternoon he will announce that Brooklyn will be sprayed later this week because of another single dead crow. Do you think he would spray his own children like he's going to do ours? Would you spray your kids because you found a roach in the kitchen?
Parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn are so tough, heavily-armed police are afraid to go there without reinforcements. Police officers and firefighters are sometimes attacked with bricks and garbage cans just for showing up on a street. Will the spray trucks of death get a similar welcome? If someone tried to deliver a dead fish to these neighborhoods, would they get off the block alive?
Wake up Brooklyn. Wake up the Bronx. Giuliani is not your friend-he is an angel of death delivering a message of destruction to your door. He is a puppet set up by the racist corporate sponsors of disease and death, wars and pollution. These are the humanitarian purveyors of vaccines that cause far more disease than they prevent and that are responsible for the developmental problems that are a genuine epidemic in poor neighborhoods throughout the United States. You are slowly being exterminated, made sterile, made brain-damaged and being infected with disease.
It is true that few if any people will drop dead in the street after being sprayed. Do you think that means Anvil is safe? Cancer and most other deadly diseases take years to show up in your body. Giuliani is laughing because he knows that years after being exposed you will never be able to prove what made you sick, or sterile or caused birth defects in your kids.
Tobacco Company executives stood in front of the US Congress and swore before God that cigarettes did not cause cancer-yet they knew for decades from their own studies that it absolutely did. Do you really think the pesticide manufacturers or the EPA do not know these chemicals are dangerous to humans? These are pesticides-as in homicide and genocide. Do you think it's called Anvil because it's gentle and effective, or Malathion or Scourge because it is harmless?
These toxic, synthetic, petroleum-based chemicals are derived from ones originally invented in Nazi Germany to kill people. The I.G. Farben company, partners with Rockefeller/Standard Oil patented them and Zyklon-B...the gas used in Auschwitz.
Do you understand yet why Giuliani has had me arrested 41 times for painting him as Hitler? The mustache perfectly fits! Hitler had to put people on trains to gas them. Giuliani one-ups Hitler by gassing us right in our homes. Some of us are so stupid we are thanking him for it and asking for more gas, please!
Wake up New York.
We are present at a crime scene in progress
and we are the victims.
It is an us verses them struggle
for life or death and
I don't mean, us against the mosquitoes.To a Directory of Mr.Lederman's Essays
