Products Of Public Skooling–The US Never “used” Smallpox Blankets As Germ Warfare? Another public service to those who were unfortunate enough to go to public school: The US NEVER used smallpox infected blankets as “germ warfare” against the indians
This is a fabrication by Ward Churchill, himself called a fraud for claiming Native American ancestry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Churchâ¦

During the time this allegedly happened, the noble Indians were in the midst of a GENOCIDAL war of their own, with unspeakable atrocities, while you were told they stood around shedding a single tear at the White Man’s introduction of evil to this continent.
I just saw a flippant reference to this as “the invention of germ warfare” and needed to set the record straight. If a lie is repeated enough, it will be believed, see the foolishness about the JFK shooting. A majority now believes that there was a conspiracy, but I have never met anyone who has bothered to read the much maligned Warren Report….well, except my first boss, who wrote a chapter.
Often, you will see part of a journal entry of an ENGLISH (Not American) officer to try to support this theory, but it says nothing bad and you can see why they cut out the rest. Here’s the paragraph that “scholars” redact to try to make it look like he was being sinister:
“The Turtles Heart a principal Warrior of the Delawares and Mamaltee a Chief came within a small distance of the Fort Mr. McKee went out to them and they made a Speech letting us know that all our [POSTS] as Ligonier was destroyed, that great numbers of Indians [were coming and] that out of regard to us, they had prevailed on 6 Nations [not to] attack us but give us time to go down the Country and they desired we would set of immediately. The Commanding Officer thanked them, let them know that we had everything we wanted, that we could defend it against all the Indians in the Woods, that we had three large Armys marching to Chastise those Indians that had struck us, told them to take care of their Women and Children, but not to tell any other Natives, they said they would go and speak to their Chiefs and come and tell us what they said, they returned and said they would hold fast of the Chain of friendship. Out of our regard to them we gave them two Blankets and an Handkerchief out of the Small Pox Hospital. I hope it will have the desired effect. They then told us that Ligonier had been attacked, but that the Enemy were beat of…”

Chain of friendship, out of regard? We are talking about a time when surgeons didn’t even wash their hands because no one, NO ONE understood diesaase pathology, let alone small pox spores.
Oh, and one MINOR detail–CHECK THE FRIGGIN DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!⦠This guy was ENGLISH, there WAS NO USA yet, it was 15 YEARS before 1776.
Dera Citadelgrad87: Thank you for the info. I will make use of this in the future. Particularly, I will ask of the lawyer and veteran who first told me that the US military killed off the Indians who used to live in and around St. Louis with Small Pox laden blankets where he learned of such incidents. I have also heard that Cortez did the same in Mexico. I had not questionned this information. But you make a very good point about the lack of understanding about the lack of knowledge about modes of transmission of disease, causing me to question all such accusations. Do you know when was the first verified incident of planned germ warfare?
Do You Think These Turtles Just Wanted To Beat The Holdup At Security So They Could Make Their Flights On Time? http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2011/0629/JFK-turtles-bring-some-NYC-air-traffic-to-a-crawl-Wednesday

New Yorkers Please Answer…are YOU Tired…? …of EVERY time the President comes here; the streets get randomly blocked, buses get randomly detoured, trains are “held up” for indeterminate amounts of time while an entourage of 12 – 15 black SUVs (some with rifle bearing soldiers/officers hanging out of the windows), sedans with flashy lights and rows of police cars and/or motorbikes “attempt” to fly through crosstown (already at a turtle’s pace) streets?
What are some of your suggestions for how the president and certain dignitaries (they don’t have this type of procession for all of them) should make their way from LaGuardia/JFK to Manhattan, through the city & back?
This is a real question, but funny answers will help take the edge off the frustration :^ )
It’s part and parcel of living and working in NYC. It’s frustrating yes, but it really can’t be avoided because security is very important.
Here are a few suggestions
*Leave a little earlier to get to where you are going
*Avoid the area in question
*Move out of the city
Seriously though. The PO’s and soldiers are doing their job and protecting you and the dignitaries. In these times, anyone can be a terrorist so be patient and let it go because you can’t do anything about it.
