As FTW has begun to investigate serious discussions by legitimate scientists and academics on the possible “necessity” of reducing the world's population by more than four billion people, no stranger set of circumstances since 9-11-01 adds credibility to this possibility than the suspicious deaths of what may be as many as 12 world-class microbiologists.

FTW - February 14, 2002 -- How many microbiologists does it take to change a light bulb?

Whatever you think the answer may be, change that light bulb soon.

Microbiologists are dropping like flies.

In the five-week period from November 16, 2001 through December 23, 2001, five world-class microbiologists in different parts of the world were reported dead. Four undoubtedly died of "unnatural" causes, while the fifth's death is quite questionable.

In the ten weeks prior to December 12, 2001, two additional microbiologists were killed, and possibly another five. The period also saw the deaths of three Israelis holding high-level positions in either medical research or public health.

On November 16, 2001, Dr. Don C. Wiley, 57, vanished, and his abandoned rental car was found on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, TN.

On December 10, 2001, Dr. David Schwartz, 57, was found murdered in his rural home in Loudon County, Virginia.

On December 12, 2001, Dr. Benito Que was found comatose in the street near the laboratory where he worked at the University of Miami Medical School.

On December 14, 2001, Set Van Nguyen was found dead in the airlock entrance to the walk-in refrigerator in the laboratory he worked at in Victoria State, Australia.

And on December 23, 2001, Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik, 64, was found dead in Wiltshire, England, a village near his home.

Before these deaths, on October 4, 2001, a commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an "errant" Ukrainian surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course. Despite early news stories reporting it as a charter, the flight (Air Sibir 1812) was a regularly scheduled flight.

According to several press reports, including a 12/05/01 article by Barry Chamish and one on 1/13/02 by Jim Rarey (both available at www.rense.com), the plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as four or five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia. There are over 50 research facilities there, and 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million people.

At about the time of the Black Sea crash, Israeli journalists had been sounding the alarm that two Israeli microbiologists had been murdered, allegedly by terrorists. On November 24, 2001 a Swissair flight from Berlin to Zurich crashed on its landing approach. 24 of the 33 persons on board were killed, including the head of the Hematology department at Israel's Ichilov Hospital, as well as directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department and Hebrew University School of Medicine. They were the only Israelis on the flight. The names of those killed, as reported in a subsequent Israeli news story but not matched to their job titles, were Avishai Berkman, Amiramp Eldor and Yaacov Matzner.

Besides all being microbiologists, the five scientists who died within five weeks of each other pose severe problems with "official" explanations of their deaths. And four of the five were doing virtually identical research; research that has global political and financial significance.

OK - what's the problem with micro-biologists being dead? (Yes, there's a problem with people, in general, being dead, and yes, there's a problem with the way they died. I mean, what is the significance to the deaths being in that group? What is the point?)

I was intrigued by the 'possibility of culling 4 billion', khymer rougist-sounding bit. But then it started going on about about a fivesome of microbiologists I've never heard of and thus have no reason to care about.

However, that two thirds of the population probably amounts to two thirds of the people I know (or maybe even me! :O), and as such, I would say that reducing population is a disastrous idea. People are idea-factories, give them the right conditions and they'll come up with brilliant ideas that will likely save us all a lot of hassle in the near future - put them in the situation where they feel their lives are in danger and they'll think of nothing but how to avoid the death squads.

There's the bloody answer I was looking for. If you want people to care, you need to explain what there is to care for. I don't know these people, so while I care that people are dead, I don't know what makes them so special that I need to spend time investigating what happened. Now I know, so now I can or cannot be concerned by their suspicious deaths, depending on what I think (and yes, that does concern the real me).

And no, I didn't click the links because I did not know whether or not it was worth my time to investigate, hence the original question. Maybe you should try to think about the implications of being questioned and what the questions are about.

The answer you're looking for is:
Conspiracy theories.

From the last link:
I would like to take a moment to focus on the death of Dr. Tanya Holzmayer who was murdered by a former colleague, who was later found shot to death. An apparent suicide.

How much do you really know about black ops government programs?

Ever see the movie The Manchurian Candidate? Very interesting film and one would consider it blarney, except for the fact that this government of the united States of America, the Ruskies, the Communist Chinese and God only knows who else, have all experimented with and used mind control techniques. This a documented fact, not some conspiracy theory.
I kinda think this is cute though:
Is it possible that there are 'sleepers' in America and other countries who are triggered by certain responses that cause them to act abnormally, even kill people? Since I have the luxury of not having to work for a living, the time I have spent on researching these kinds of issues over the past 11 years is ten thousand times greater than the average person.

Is it possible that there are 'sleepers' in America and other countries who are triggered by certain responses that cause them to act abnormally, even kill people? I say it is. You can agree or disagree, but there is something evil going on here and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse.

And is this meant to help some Bilderberg Group type thing? There's always more microbiologists (meaning people with those skills. I don't mean these PEOPLE as people can be replaced). Killing scientists is unlikely to be helpful. Lets say in 1895 loads of physicists died, including Einstein. Would it have stopped scientific advance? No. Other people were working towards the same ideas.

Birth control isn't going to reduce population by two thirds... unless we are talking about forced sterilisations.

In which case you would, again, need some kind of leather-clad squad to come drag people out of their homes.

Okay, that seems like coincidence to me. Do you know how many microbiologists there actually are around the world? I'd say 12 dead isn't a drop in the bucket o'biologists.

And why the assumption that 'reducing the world's population by 4 billion' means killing 4 billion, as opposed to controlling population growth through birth control?

Yeah, thats it alright. We don't agree with you, so we automatically trust Donald Rumsfeld. Naturally.

Maybe if you quit whining about a problem that might only affect our great grandchildren, instead of the more pertinent world-ending issues today (like Iran/North Korea nuclear weapons programmes, continuing and ever increasing terrorism, increasing poverty, shortage of available drinking water, sea levels rising....) you'd get a more sympathetic ear.

Actually, the statistical likelihood of all these deaths in so short a period of time beats the dead FOB's (Friends of Bill Clinton) hands down.

Or voice actors? Does their job ACTUALLY have relevance to their deaths? Maybe the "brit" was murdered due to his job. How does that relate to killing 4 billion people? Could be industial sabotage... Or a rival in the field? You assume things because it suits what you want to think. Open your mind and start thinking for yourself.

At least one of the deaths cited didn't sound particularly ominous or suspicious. Dr. Wiley had a health issue that precluded him drinking booze, so he went and drank booze and went for a drive. The article itself leads one to believe he comitted suicide.

Here's more (includes the first 12 mentioned):
Chronology of Dead Scientists

2001
#1-5: Five Unnamed Microbiologists. Died: October 4, 2001 Four of Five unnamed microbiologists on a plane that was brought down by a missile near the Black sea on the Russian border. Traveling from Israel to Russia; business not disclosed. Three scientists were experts in medical research or public health. The plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as four or five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia. There are over 50 research facilities there, and 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million people.

#6: Dr. Benito Que, Age: 52. Found Comatose: November 12, 2001. Died later in hospital. Found in the street near the laboratory where he worked at the University of Miami Medical School. He was a cell biologist, involved in research on aids, oncology research in the hematology department.

#7-#9: Avishai Berkman, Amiramp Eldor and Yaacov Matzner Died: November 24, 2001 Another airplane crash kills 3 scientists. At about the time of the Black Sea crash, Israeli journalists had been sounding the alarm that two Israeli microbiologists had been murdered, allegedly by terrorists; including the head of the Hematology department at Israel's Ichilov Hospital, as well as directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department and Hebrew University School of Medicine. Five microbiologists in this list of the first eight people that died mysteriously in airplane crashes worked on cutting edge microbiology research. Four of the five were doing virtually identical research - research that has global political and financial significance.

#10: Dr. David Schwartz, Age: 57. Died: December 10, 2001. Murdered by stabbing in rural home Loudon County, Virginia. He was extremely well respected in biophysics, and regarded as an authority on DNA sequencing. Three teens who were into the occult were charged with murder in the slashing death.

#11: Dr. Set Van Nguyen, Died: December 14, 2001. Found dead in the airlock entrance to the walk-in refrigerator in the laboratory he worked at in Victoria State, Australia. The room was full of deadly gas which had leaked from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Room was vented. Working on a vaccine to protect against biological weapons, or a weapon itself. In January, 2001, the magazine Nature published information that two scientists, Dr. Ron Jackson and Dr. Ian Ramshaw, using genetic manipulation and DNA sequencing, had created an incredibly virulent form of mousepox, a cousin of smallpox and Dr. Nguyen had worked for 15 years at the same Australian facility.

#12: Dr. Don Wiley Age: 57, Vanished December 16, 2001. Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard University, top Deadly Contagious Virus expert, vanished; abandoned rental car was found on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, TN. He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing, and was last seen at around midnight on November 16, leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research Advisory Dinner at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication, and no one has admitted to drinking with him.

#13: Dr. Vladimer Pasechnik Age: 64, Found Dead: December 23, 2001. Found dead in Wiltshire, England, a village near his home. He had defected from Russia to UK. He had been the #1 scientist in the FSU's bioweapons program. It was thought he was involved with exhuming the bodies of the 10 London victims of the 1919 Type A flu epidemic. Pasechnik died six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced. On November 23, 2001, Pasechnik's death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred two days earlier. Pasechnik's death was made in the United States by Dr. Christopher Davis of Virginia, who stated that the cause of death was a stroke. Dr. Davis was the member of British intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time of his defection. Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research. He had just founded a company like three other microbiologists working to provide powerful alternatives to antibiotics. Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik was the boss of William C. Patrick III who holds five patents on the militarized anthrax used by the United States. Patrick is now a private biowarfare consultant to the military and CIA. Patrick developed the process by which anthrax spores could be concentrated at the level of one trillion spores per gram. No other country has been able to get concentrations above 500 billion per gram. The anthrax that was sent around the eastern United States last fall was concentrated at one trillion spores per gram.

2002
#14: Dr. Alexi Brushlinski. Died: January 2002. Russian Microbiologist. Murdered, and Brushlinski was killed in Moscow. Well known around the world and members of the Russian Academy of Science.

#15: Dr. Ivan Glebov. Died: January 2002 Russian Microbiologist. Glebov died as the result of a bandit attack. Well known around the world and members of the Russian Academy of Science.

#16: Dr. Vladamir Korshunov Age: 56. Died: February 9, 2002. Found dead on a Moscow street. Head was bashed in. Korshunov was head of the microbiology sub-facility at the Russian State Medical University. He was found dead in the entrance to his home with a head injury. On Feb. 9 the Russian newspaper Pravda reported that Korshunov had probably invented either a vaccine to protect against biological weapons, or a weapon itself.

#17: Dr. Ian Langford Age: 40, Died: February 12, 2002. A Russian who was a Senior Research Associate in CSERGE, UK. He was a leading university research scientist working on Global Environment, specializing in links between human health and the environment risk, was found dead at his blood-spattered and apparently ransacked home. Specialist in leukemia and infections.

#18: Tanya Holzmayer 46, Died: February 28, 2002: Two dead microbiologists in San Francisco: While taking delivery of a pizza, Tanya Holzmayer was shot and killed by a colleague, Guyang Huang, 38, who then apparently shot himself. Holzmayer moved to the US from Russia in 1989. Her research focused on the part of the human molecular structure that could be affected best by medicine. Holzmayer was focusing on helping create new drugs that interfere with replication of the virus that causes AIDS. One year earlier, Holzmayer obeyed senior management orders to fire Huang.

#19: Dr. David Wynn-Williams Age: 55 Died: March 24, 2002. Hit by a car while jogging near his home in Cambridge, England. He was an astrobiologist with the Antarctic Astrobiology Project and the NASA Ames Research Center. He was studying the capability of microbes to adapt to environmental extremes, including the bombardment of ultraviolet rays and global warming.

#20: Steven Mostow, Age: 63, Died: March 25, 2002. One of the country's leading infectious disease and bioterrorism experts and was associate dean at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He died in a plane crash near Centennial Airport. He was known as "Dr. Flu" for his expertise in treating influenza, and expertise on bioterrorism. Mostow was one of the country's leading infectious disease experts.

#21: Roman Kuzmin 24-year-old Russian surgeon studying in Connecticut was fatally struck by a car as he fled a store with three stolen rolls of film, police said. He was studying to be an orthopedic surgeon.

2003

#22: Dr. Leland Rickman, Age: 47. Died June 24, 2003. UC San Diego expert on infectious diseases and, since Sept. 11, 2001 a consultant on bioterrorism. He was 47. Rickman died while on a teaching assignment in Lesotho, a small country bordered on all sides by South Africa. He had complained of a headache, but the cause of death was not immediately known. The physician had been working in Lesotho with Dr. Chris Mathews, director of the UC San Diego Medical Center's Owen Clinic, teaching African medical personnel about the prevention and treatment of AIDS. Rickman, the incoming president of the Infectious Disease Assn. of California, was a multidisciplinary professor and practitioner with expertise in infectious diseases, internal medicine, epidemiology, microbiology and antibiotic utilization

#23: David Kelly, Died: July 18, 2003. British biological weapons expert, was said to have slashed his own wrists while walking near his home. Kelly was the Ministry of Defence's chief scientific officer and senior adviser to the proliferation and arms control secretariat, and to the Foreign Office's non-proliferation department. The senior adviser on biological weapons to the UN biological weapons inspections teams (Unscom) from 1994 to 1999, he was also, in the opinion of his peers, pre-eminent in his field, not only in this country, but in the world.

#24: Michael Perich, Age: 46. Died: October 11, 2003. Died in one-vehicle car accident. The LSU West Nile research scientist was wearing his seat belt and drowned. He was LSU professor who helped fight the spread of the West Nile virus.

And lets say 12 microbiologists discover something "the masters" (sounds like a bad buffy script. clearly not written by Joss) find something suspect. They get killed. Would we know? Its surely possible for a well trained and equipped agent to kill without it being obvious. Anurysms. Heart attacks. Strokes. Car accidents. Accidental poisoning. Give me a little while and I could give you 12 different ways to do it as well...

Work accident - one guy was asphyixiated by nitrogen (very easy). Again, duh.

Violent assault - why would someone attack a microbiologist? I dunno, but maybe they seem good targets for muggers? They'd be reasonably wealthy looking.

I'm calling kids the people that chose this thread to make jokes, when there are plenty of other threads which are much more appropriate. I don't find it funny seeing people joking about other people being killed. "Kids" is actually quite mild...

Global security, Al Qaeda and Osama are off-topic, unless you have any good reason to suspect they are involved. You are the perfect sheep; you only believe what you can see...

They didn't just "die". The vast majority were killed under suspicious circumstances. It's fluff in your eyes, because you're not one of them (or a family member).

When the scientific community leading researches that could save the lives of millions is being crippled like this, it's a serious matter. These killings could be causing the loss of lives of thousands or even millions in the near future. You don't think that is serious???

In all seriousness, though, whoever suggested a comparison of death rates had the brightest idea yet. Also, the thing I noticed was that a lot of these scientists come from races which have, ah, notorious problems getting along with other people - Israelis, Arabs of various types, etc. If a terrorist/other criminal wants to make a racist point, it makes sense to remove the "smart" ones.

Some respect that is. I don't think the dead would want us to stop finding humor just because of them. That's hardly fair or respectful to their memories. They died. That's not funny in itself, no, but there is humor to be found. People die all the time. That's how the universe works.

What you have is a string of unrelated deaths over a period of years. You've shown no proof or evidence of anything suspicious about those deaths. As the OP it is on you to provide proof that this is more than just another wild conspiracy theory.

If I wanted to I could do a search and find several hundred people who died suddenly over that same timespan who were all janitors. Does that mean some organization/governmental entity is out to get janitorial staff?

leading scientists studying cures for big diseases, some involved in anti-biowarfare are being taken out. that is no reason to joke about and i see no reason for people to dismiss these killings as unrelated from the outset. some animal activists are known to have become more extreme lately. any bunch of crazy lunatics could be organising these killings, since scientists are not exactly followed by body guards like politicians. people dismissing these as "conspiracy theories" without even considering the possibility that serious foul play may be involved are playing into the hands of whoever is doing this.

All is forgiven. We all have things we're passionate about. And you know, it is still a conspiracy theory. I would classify Al Queda, Nazi Germany, etc. as conspiracies. The problem with that is conspiracy tends to have a, I don't know, vacuous connotation.

until they hit you in the face, when it's too late to prevent it to happen. which is also a worrying trend, since it plays right into the hands of those that do actually conspire, for whatever reason or purpose...

looks like you're wrong as well... the FBI, CIA and MI5 have all looked into some of these deaths. want to post a retraction or do you not have the guts to admit it?

Post a retraction, WTF? You know, we keep telling you, again, and again. PROOF! You make all these claims without a shred of PROOF then get pissed off when we call you on it!

So, do you have a line into those 3 organizations, cause I know damn well NONE of them advertise their investigations.

Do you have an article in a reputable news organ or a link to a website this is NOT Wiki or a conspiracy site? If so, then provide said information.

One of the first rules I was taught in a debate course I took was; Always make sure you have a credible source for the information you are using in your debate. And don't get mad and your opponent when they do call you on it.

The deaths are factual... Is American Free Press reputable enough or not really? As to those 3 organisations not "advertising" their investigations... How many times does this information leak to the press (possibly in exchange for a few dollars)?

One of the rules of debate is also not to allow yourself to become so worked up that you can't think straight. Evidence of this is in yelling and swearing.

If you read the links you should easily realise that Pravda is mentioned 3 times as reference to 2 or 3 deaths (in Russia) out of 79 (globally). Even in those 2 or 3 cases, Pravda is only used to report the deaths, not to explain them. For that purpose only, I imagine it to be a perfectly reliable source, since I can't imagine any tabloid reporting "fake deaths", but then I've never read Pravda. In any case, it's not. These deaths are factual.

If Al Qaeda can plot to bring down the WTC, why can't an unnamed terrorist organisation plot to kill microbiologists? You are happy to accept "conspiracy theories" if they come from the governments you don't trust but the minute something fishy happens that no one knows who (if anyone) is involved, you think it's ridiculous...

I'm tempted to take that as an insult, but I won't bother. Too much work. I will, however, ask why I should trust a government I didn't vote for? There's a reason I didn't vote for them. You have no way of knowing exactly what I think of the present government, or any government, unless I say so. That clear?

Now, I don't accept conspiracy theories lightly, period - mostly because I make them up myself, in my spare time, to amuse myself. For all I know, you could be pulling a Psychotic Dan "Yellowstone is gonna blow" thing, only picking your evidence better.

Having looked at the article you cite below, I do admit that these four deaths could very well be related. Alternate explanations besides massive terrorist plot against all microbiologists: 1) Arab grudge against Israel (as I suggested before). 2) Far-fetched, but there could have been Russian mob involvement. For these deaths, looked at individually (and assumed to be suspicious, rather than unusual), those seem the likeliest explanations, at a quick think-through.

I also note a couple things about your source: 1) The "About AFP" link at the top of the page returns a 404 error. Not a big deal, but not the mark of a first-class web-paper.

2) The paper seems to exist mainly on hype, with even its "news" articles bearing headlines like "AFP Cracks Secret Meeting" and "AFP Editorial: Resist the Neo-Cons; Don’t Attack Iran. This one (http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/bush_insider.html) is headlined "WTC Story Bogus" - and, although I consider it highly unlikely, makes at least as much sense as your "terrorist plot against microbiologists" claim.

3) Gordon Thomas, author of your article, is cited here (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7077.htm) as "a journalist with contacts in the most important intelligence services". I'm guessing therefore that this (http://www.gordonthomas.ie/about.html) is the (personal) site of the guy in question. If you look at his history, he writes hype-stories on events that certainly deserve it; fictional thrillers the quality of which I have no idea; "non-fiction" books that mostly look like conspiracy theories, to judge by their titles; and newspaper articles like the one in question. Admittedly, he's perfectly placed - if his self-profile is true - to uncover conspiracies. He's also in a position where he could easily be paranoid and self-deluded, or even (since we're dealing with conspiracy theories here) allowed to "find" leaks so that these top-secret agencies can get on with covering up stuff that needs to stay classified.

So while your theory (and it is a theory) is fairly intriguing, it's also fairly low probability, from what I can tell (say, a 3 or 4 on a 1-10 scale).

As i said, I'm only picking a very weird trend, of dozens of leading microbiologists with links to anti-biowarfare and major illnesses dying in such a short period of time.

Having looked at the article you cite below, I do admit that these four deaths could very well be related. Alternate explanations besides massive terrorist plot against all microbiologists: 1) Arab grudge against Israel (as I suggested before). 2) Far-fetched, but there could have been Russian mob involvement. For these deaths, looked at individually (and assumed to be suspicious, rather than unusual), those seem the likeliest explanations, at a quick think-through.
I can't imagine Arab grudge against Israel explaining all the violent deaths. David Kelly was actually speaking out against the Coalition in Iraq. Russian mob could be involved in the killings of the Russians, but I just can't see their interest in killing microbiologists, unless they were being paid to do someone else's dirty work or they were involved somehow in shady dealings with someone else. What boggles me is who could have interest in crippling health sciences like this. It doesn't seem to fit with Al Qaeda, even if I wouldn't discard that possibility. Are they trying to cripple our health? But why would they attack Russians and Chinese, when these countries are usually more neutral towards the middle east? Were all these scientists involved with the West? Maybe, I don't know...

So while your theory (and it is a theory) is fairly intriguing, it's also fairly low probability, from what I can tell (say, a 3 or 4 on a 1-10 scale).
My only theory is that there seems to be something fishy in the deaths of 80 leading microbiologists. Surely, a few number of these may be natural, but there is a very high percentage which are a result of very violent and apparently premeditated deaths (like a microbiologist being found in the trunk of a burning car or the one stabbed with a sword and marked with an x on his neck - just two examples). The sheer violence of some of the deaths should raise alarms and cause thorough investigations of even those that are apparently normal. It is no secret to anybody that there are ways to kill people and make it look like a heart attack or a car-crash.

The treatment of David Kelly - for example - by the British Government prior to his death and his involvement with highly secret biowarfare programs, points to possible foul play. The case of Kelly was very high profile in Britain. It was all over the news and actually damaged Blair's reputation at the time, since Kelly had just admitted leaking some information to the press about the (lack of) quality of UK's evidence of Iraq's WMDs, a few weeks before. I wouldn't dare to suggest if someone ordered his death... I don't know...

My only point in this thread has been that these deaths are fishy and that i felt people should be aware that something may be going on. The fact that the sources are not the best is no doubt unfortunate, but the deaths are fact not theory or hoaxes. I tried to take the facts out of their hyped content and see what people thought of it. Of course, I had no option but to place those references because the mainstream media hasn't really picked up on the issue as a whole (and people would ask for references). Still, if I decided to source every death individually (which I won't bother honestly, since I have more positive things to read about), I'm sure I would find some very reputable sources. David Kelly and Ian Langford's deaths were reported by the BBC. Ian's death seems to have been reported by the Times (it's quoted a few times) but - if it was - the article was removed from the website.

The purpose of the mainstream media is not to theorise on the lot and such an investigation may be beyond their scope and interests. Still, it's very fishy and very sad that people who dedicated their lives to save lives are being killed and the investigations of their deaths seem to be heading nowhere in many cases.

Erm, they are claiming that everything that happened on 9/11 was a government conspiracy.........

So, I guess I'll have to keep waiting for a reputable source......

OK - what's the problem with micro-biologists being dead? (Yes, there's a problem with people, in general, being dead, and yes, there's a problem with the way they died. I mean, what is the significance to the deaths being in that group? What is the point?)
