Covert plan against terror splits Bush Administration
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 03:37 PM by Skinner
This is pretty amusing. I have no idea who this writer is, and have never seen this web site before. I THINK this is meant to be fiction...but what I find amusing is that it is just twisted enough to be TRUE of the Bush cabal. Laugh or cry?

A hitherto unknown program aimed at bringing a rapid, peaceful conclusion to fighting in Iraq, the war on terrorism and other conflicts around the world has split the Bush Administration into two sharply divided camps. The secret program, which continues to receive covert funding from the U.S., involves a murky global network of clandestine laboratories in Afghanistan, covert field-testing in Iraq, radical atheist cells in Europe, and a mysterious Swiss biotechnology firm.

In a debate reminiscent of the controversy over U.S. development of the atomic bomb during the 1940s, the program is hailed by some in the administration as the decisive weapon in the arsenal against terrorism and conflict. But others fear that continuation of the controversial project would create, in the words of one White House official, “the most devastating bio-terrorist threat facing humanity.”

The secret program is designed to produce a biochemical agent that weakens and eventually eliminates religious faith from those to whom it is administered. The agent, a colorless, odorless liquid that takes effect when it comes into contact with the skin, interacts with the hypothalamus region of the human brain, that portion of the brain responsible for belief systems, among other functions.

By interacting with brain cell DNA and gradually modifying biochemical flows within the hypothalamus, the substance weakens the cerebral connections involved in religious sentiment and mystical thought processes, according to one researcher with intimate knowledge of the program. Administered on a large scale, the researcher says the substance could be used to reduce and gradually eliminate religious fervor among entire populations.

2. Sounds like absolute bullshit to me. I'm sure there are simpler ways
to accomplish their means. Besides, it's the fundies who are wanting to gain control.
