A Lyddite or Luddite's view on the origins of mad cow?

I was appalled to see such sensationalist mass media hype scare=mongering the world still further adrift from the truth about the origins of BSE. This time, it centres upon the same old scientific clique of un-intelligentsia and how their tale of a few odd human bones from the Indian out-backs had leaked into UK cattle feed, thereby causing BSE. Yet, there is no scientific data to support this hypothesis. The one time astute BBC science reporter, Susan Watts, who has launched this latest scandal, should be ashamed of herself.

At the centre of this BSE melodrama is Dr Colchester, renowned for his earlier attempts to pin a cluster of five cases of vCJD in the Kent countryside onto a supply of drinking water that had allegedly become contaminated by waste water from a meat rendering factory. But in a balanced and rational scientific forum, you would have thought that this expert would have been instantly discredited on the basis that only one of the five vCJD cases involved had actually lived in this water catchments area and therefore been drinking water from the particular supply under the spotlight. Furthermore the whole assertion of water contamination by this rendering plant has never been substantiated , since the company involved had merely been draining their run off water into a ditch which had no linkage to the relevant water course.

On the BBC News-Night piece last night, Prof John Collinge was the only expert to make a sensible comment on this latest issue. "How could BSE have been transmitted from India to the UK through cattle feed when there have never been any cases of new strain TSE recorded on the Indian continent?"

Even more mysterious was the fact that nobody has picked up on the true relevance of the other press release put out by Texas Uni last week - that the use of sound waves on living tissues will determine whether a person's prion protein is primed for BSE or not. Although widely aired on the BBC news, nobody had connected this lab observation to my 4x published field research studies carried out in every cluster zone of TSE across the world - which concluded that exposures to sonic shock waves will activate the metal micro-crystallised piezoelectic prion contaminants in mammalian brain, unleashing a deadly cascade of electric shocks into surrounding tissues - literally burning out the so called spongiform holes in the brain. This is founded upon the elementary laws of physics and the properties of piezoelectric materials such as lyddite; the common component of the chemical detonators found in the TSE cluster areas Funnily enough, it was 'lyddite' that was first developed at the UK's military test ranges at Lydd in Kent - a mere five miles upwind from where the previously aforementioned Kent cluster of vCJD erupted. (See: Table Fig:2)

The fact that every cluster of TSE in the world is located around sites where piezoelectric micro-crystal contaminants {used as detonators} have leaked as a result of local activities with military munitions should not be ignored. Since TSE clusters and Munition sites are both rare phenomena, then the persistent occurrence of these two phenomena in the precise same region has got to offer more than a mere coincidence.

Thousands of tons of chemical munitions and detonators were mass manufactured at Ordnance factories like the Queniborough depot in Leicestershire - half a mile distant from the world's largest cluster of vCJD. Since these bombs were never dropped on Germany during world war two, boatloads of the unused munition were dumped into the North and Irish seas around the UK coastline . Decades later the metal canisters corroded , contaminating the whole marine food chain . It was the fish meal sourced from these metal micro-crystal contaminated seas which was fed to the British dairy herd, causing the massive epidemic of BSE.

Furthermore, These micro-crystals are heat resistant, transmissible and will produce a progressive pathogenesis once implanted into living tissue . They therefore fulfil all of the idiosyncratic prerequisites of the mysterious TSE causal agent, which no other bacterial (tuberculosis, etc.) or protein only causal theory has previously achieved. 

And it's not only the lab work from Texas Uni that has lent strong support to my research data and hypothesis . Auburn Uni have shown that once these metal micro-crystals contaminate tissues, they do indeed seed the growth of the rogue metal prion protein crystal fibrils which cause BSE. 

I find it absolutely incredible that our UK government and scientific Institutions are prepared to put the full force of public money behind a full scale funding of this 'kitched-up' kindergarten scare story on human remains causing BSE, whilst they continue to blindly ignore the well proven, widely published true cause of TSEs. We live in retrograde times.
