WHO says E. coli strain responsible for European outbreak is new strain never detected before

[Jan Klimkowski]

It is completely irrelevant if we made this in a lab or in a hospital or in a cattle cage. It is there.

Carsten - with respect, I cannot agree.

I believe there is a fundamental difference between a killer e-coli strain emerging as a byproduct of Big & Dirty Farming, and being created in a biological warfare laboratory and deliberately released.

The first scenario is the consequence of greed and recklessness, and can - in principle - be prevented through clean farming practices.

The second scenario involves the use of science not to cure disease but to create doomsday weapons for use by those who consider themselves our superiors.

A belief in Eugenics is still the dirty secret of the elites.

The point I wanted to stress is that we will most likely never know. Short of a confession by some plausible evildoer there is practically no way to distinguish between an accidental creation and release and an intentional one. I am sure that both types of events happened in the past and will happen in the future.
What may be different is our reaction to such an event, depending on what we believe in every specific case and in general.

Everybody answers for himself.

This I can agree with.

One of the aims of a strategy of tension is to create cognitive dissonance in the hearts and minds of people.

And yes, we all go our own way.
