I used to be in the cattle business.
I never had the problem , but the mysterious sheep mutilations in my former county turned out to be the handi-work of college students.
Personally, cattle butchering is a lot of work without a facillity.
I suspect it is usually a pagan religious practice.

Link Between Cattle Mutilations
And Mad Cow Prions?
1-2-3
Note - As I have earlier stated, it is my belief cattle mutilations are, in part, involved with tracking the spread of BSE/Mad Cow Prions. Tongues are commonly removed in mutilations. I have also stated that Mad Cow/BSE is essentially the same disease as CWD which is the same disease as CJD/Alzheimers which is the same as GSS, etc. Prion disease is prion disease.
The discovery of prions in cattle tongues should not come as a surprise in light of the known concentration of them in afflicted HUMAN tonsils. The British discovered this years ago and then, much to their dismay, found that over half of reusable childrens' tonsillectomy instruments that were checked for prions in UK hospitals were found to be contaminated with prions AFTER the instruments were sterilized.
And then there was the announced study to begin checking removed tonsils, nationwide, for signs of prion infection. The results of that test were never released...-- Jeff Rense

Tongue meat could carry a risk of infection from mad cow disease, a new report suggests1.
Tongue could contain high levels of the prion protein thought to cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, say Richard Bessen and his colleagues. Prions injected into hamster brains travelled to the tongue and accumulated to relatively high levels, the team found.
This doesn't prove that cows with BSE have prion-loaded tongues, or that eating these tongues could cause human disease, says Bessen, who works at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. But guidelines on the meat allowed into the food-chain should be re-evaluated, he says.
Cattle spine and brain are barred from meat products in some European countries. In infected animals, these tissues accumulate prions. Tongue is not banned.
There are fears that infected beef is still entering the food-chain. There are also safety concerns over meat from sheep and deer with related prion diseases.
Nerves could carry infectious prions from the brain to the tongue, explains pathologist Jan Fraser of the Institute for Animal Health in Edinburgh, UK. "Whether there's sufficient [infectivity] to cause disease is a moot point."
Mice injected with nerve cells from infected cow tongue remain healthy. "We have no evidence at the moment for infectivity in the tongue or peripheral nerves of BSE cattle," says Fraser. But the new result makes further testing worthwhile, she says.
Tongue tied
In cows, the brain might download prions to the tongue. In humans, prions might enter via the tongue, Bessen's team proposes. Current opinion holds that prions infect people through the stomach.
Prions injected into hamsters' tongues took 1-2 weeks to reach the brain. These animals fell ill in around 80 days - compared with 190 days when infected through the gut.
Prions can enter through small wounds on the tongue. "A lesion, cut or infection could enhance the ability of [an animal or person] to become infected," says Bessen.
"It can presumably propagate the infections pretty rapidly to the brain," says prion researcher Byron Caughey of Rocky Mountain Labs in Hamilton, Montana. "Whether it actually happens I don't know."

A very long read, but it explains this shit, if you are interested.
Cattle Mutilations Explained?
End Of The Beef Industry?
By Jeff Rense
12-3-2
The following discussion is meant to open the door to new research and earnest 'official' scientific scrutiny.
CJD, sCJD, nvVJD, vCJD, CWD Mad Deer Disease, BSE Mad Cow Disease, TSE, Alzheimer's and so on are all names of the SAME basic 100% fatal disease conditions caused by 'misfolded proteins' known as prions.
After studying these diseases and their frightening progress over the years, it is now clear they are all directly related to one another. These misfolded proteins seat themselves in the host brain and immediately begin to turn it into hole-filled sponge-like material.
The only appreciable difference between prions seems to be which part of the brain is turned to mush.
In the only published research of its type, the brains of approximately 65 Alzheimer's victims were analyzed. About 15 of the brains showed death by 'CJD'... classic prion disease...and not what is called 'Alzheimer's' Disease.
The point: if about 25% of Alzheimer's deaths were caused by CJD, where is it coming from?? Of course, there has never been a single, solitary case of Mad Cow disease here in the US...so cow meat couldn't possibly be the source...
What of Alzheimer's itself? What is at work destroying the brain? Prions? YES. Alzheimer's is marked by an accumulation of amyloid, an abnormally folded protein which forms fibrils. Fibrils are abnormal strings of proteins clumped together; the fibrils accumulate because they are difficult for the body's natural defenses to remove.
Here are two items from an excellent overview of prion diseases at: http://www.biology.hawaii.edu/Bio406/files/BIO406_lec_04.PDF
"Degenerative diseases of the nervous system associated with amyloid amyloid formation are frequently caused by caused by misfolded peptides (proteins)."
Neuronal degeneration associated with amyloid plaque formation:
* Alzheimer's disease
* Prion diseases
Indestructible Prions
These 'rogue' proteins - prions - are virtually indestructible. Hundreds scientific reports, studies and papers describe how prions cannot be frozen to death, do not respond to ANY antibiotics or chemical treatments and withstand temperatures of approximately 1000 degrees F.
Autoclaves, upon which medicine and dentistry rely to sterilize all reusable invasive instruments, operate at around 250 degrees...far too low to even approach destroying these killer proteins - which one leading and extremely perplexed British scientist recently described, only half in jest, as not being from this planet. There may be more truth to his offhand remark than he realized.
Mutilations And Monitoring
CJD/BSE prions are clearly being spread throughout the environment. We are now going to state, with reasonable conviction, that prions are linked to the mystery of widespread cattle, horse and many other types of animal mutilations which have been a near constant phenomenon since the late 1960's.
Is 'someone' monitoring the spread of prions in our gravely-declining environment by taking tissue samples from these animals? I now believe that to likely be at least part of the answer.
We do know that human tonsils, when biopsied, have been found to contain prions in infected patients. Further, a Nobel Laureate has just announced that prions have also now been found in the MUSCLE tissue of infected mice...but in lower concentrations than brain tissue. (see story below). How many prions does it take to become infected?
Human Pharmaceuticals Found In Some Mutilated Cattle
Most mutilated cattle, horses, etc, evidence the same precise wounds to the head, reproductive and rectal areas. There are always organs missing, most often the eyes, tongue and the rectum. As is well-known, the wounds aren't 'cuts' but are laser-like 'incisions' done at estimated temperatures of close to 400 degrees F. There is never blood at the incision sites or much, if any remaining in the corpse. It is also reported that back muscles of the animals often show internal bleeding...indicative of something that occurred from above them. Many of the dead animals also show signs of having been dropped to the ground...with broken bones and horns shoved deeply into the soil.
Researcher and former police officer Ted Oliphant visited this program on several occasions a number of years ago. He revealed in detail how, during his extensive cattle mutilation investigations in Alabama beginning in 1992, traces of human pharmaceuticals such as anti-coagulants and pain killers were found in some of the mutilated cattle. That would suggest humans were involved in SOME of the Alabama cases.
If humans were involved in some of the mutilations, they removed for apparent testing the same basic tissues and organs that are universally-reported to be taken during these mysterious cases.
But what about the rest of the mutilations in North and South America and elsewhere...going back nearly four decades... and including the very recent deaths of scores of cattle, horses, llamas and wild boar, etc, in Argentina? Many of those cases were accompanied by unambiguous sightings of UFOs by dozens of eyewitnesses.
And how about human mutilations? In one South American case - documented with photos and complete autopsy - an adult male was found in Brazil in September, 1988, will all the hallmark signs of classic cattle mutilation. Brazilian police reported there were at least a dozen other similar unsolved human mutilation deaths at that time.
A logical conclusion to entertain might be that both ET 'visitors' and humans are monitoring the spread of prions now. It is a reasonable guess that clandestine tissue monitoring might also going on at slaughterhouses around the US.
Again: How many prions does it take to become infected?
No More Fully-Sterile Invasive Medical/Dental Instruments
We DO know that in the ONLY study ever done (or released to the public...) on invasive, reusable medical (tonsillectomy) instruments in the UK, over 50% of the instruments were found to be contaminated with deadly prions AFTER REPEATED STERILIZATIONS.
That particularly 'bad news' story disappeared VERY quickly from the UK mass media.
About the time the tonsillectomy instrument story was published, a new UK study was announced that thousands of tonsils taken from UK children and young people would be tested for prions.
To our knowledge, RESULTS of that study WERE NEVER MADE PUBLIC.
Beside the mystery tonsil tests, and tests on human brains of the deceased, no prion tests of any other human tissues have been noted in the media or mentioned in scientific reports. No prion tests of human tongues, rectal tissues, eyes, or any internal organs.
Another news story also appeared proposing that a routine biopsy of tonsil tissues in humans might be the best and quickest way to screen for prion disease. That story, too, came by once...and then vanished.
Prions, Lies And Death
Note - the first deer deaths from CWD occurred in an isolated heard in the US in the mid-1960's...something few recall. Note also, that the first 'official' animal mutilation befell 'Skippy' the horse in Colorado in the late 1967 and there have been over 10,000 reported cattle mutilations since then.
And what about those with HIV/AIDS? It is a fact that 50% of those who become HIV positive show almost immediate signs of compromised brain activity...commonly-called 'AIDS dementia'. Late stage AIDS is almost invariably marked with massive dementia. Is there a correlation between prion disease and the dementia in AIDS patients?
And remember all the lies...for years...from the British government about Mad Cow and the risks to humans? The British government finally, formally apologized to its people but only after over 100 had died from the 'human form' of mad cow prion disease. And how many Britons became infected because of those lies and are incubating prions right now but are not yet showing symptoms? Is this why the results of the tonsil biopsy tests were never, to our knowledge, released to the public?
Remember how the British officials first promised there was no danger from eating beef...but that the public should simply not eat beef brains? Then the government said the consumer should avoid both brain AND spinal tissues. And then, at long last, the British government banned ALL beef 'on the bone'. That simple progression of common sense took years to occur.
Meanwhile, about four years ago, the British government ordered all optometrists and other professionals fitting patients for contact lenses to immediately STOP USING REUSABLE CONTACT LENSES for fitting in patients' eyes. Why do you suppose that happened?
And then there was the cosmetic surgery clinic which had to notify a number of successive patients that an earlier patient turned out to have CJD and that they all might be infected with fatal prion disease.
Also, if you remember, there were patients at a birthing hospital in the UK who had to be told they might have contracted mad cow disease after a patient who had C section died from the disease. Not much information on that situation was forthcoming either. It came out once and then...gone! Never to be followed up. We wonder how many of those women and their babies contracted the disease. We wonder if the baby of the mad cow deceased mother contracted it as well.
And in that we now know prions are also found in muscle tissue - in addition to brain and spinal tissues - how can we RULE OUT the presence of these TINY killer proteins - or the agent that causes them to misfold - in the blood supply? Answer: we cannot.
"Everyone Should Be Tested"
And now comes a formal call by Dr. Stanley Pruisner that EVERYONE in
Britain be tested for prion disease and infectivity.
Here is that story:
Top Nobel Scientist Wants ALL Britons Tested For CJD
Nobel Laureate Warns Of Prions Found In Animal Muscle
How Many Prions Does It Take To Become Infected?
By Richard Woodman
12-2-2
LONDON (Reuters Health) - The scientist who won the Nobel prize for discovering prions, the abnormal proteins implicated in mad cow disease, has called for all Britons to be tested for the deadly brain ailment after finding surprisingly high prion levels in the muscles of mice infected with a similar illness, British newspapers reported Sunday.
Professor Stanley Prusiner of the University of California, San Francisco, told the Independent that the finding raised the "obvious worry" that cows and sheep could be similarly affected. Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been linked to a similar illness in humans who ate contaminated meat. Sheep can carry a related illness called scrapie.
Until now, levels of prions in infected cow and sheep meat and muscle tissue were always believed to be low enough not to pose a significant risk of transmission and the emphasis was to remove the brain and spinal cord, which harbor much higher levels.
However, according to the newspaper, new tests being pioneered at the University of California are far more sensitive and have discovered higher concentrations of prions in muscle than have previously been found.
While describing the findings as significant, Prusiner stressed that the levels are still 100-fold less than those found in brains.
He called for testing of everyone in Britain to establish the true extent of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which has killed 117 people since 1995.
"A million cattle infected with BSE entered the British food chain so almost everyone in the country will have been exposed to the infectious prion proteins that cause variant CJD. Every Briton should be tested so that if they are developing the disease it can be spotted before symptoms appear," he told the Sunday Times.
Prusiner was in Britain to discuss research into the disease.
Last week scientists at University College London reported that research on mice suggested BSE caused the "sporadic" strain of CJD, as well as variant CJD, which, if confirmed, could significantly increase the number of potential victims.

Jeff - This is AMAZING! Simply amazing. When Dr. Pruisner, foremost Prionologist in the WORLD, suggests all Britons get tested for prion disease, you KNOW we have a crisis situation. I think people in the US need to be tested as well. It is not simply a matter of people eating deer meat or CWD infected meat. Many of these people who ate Deer, Elk or Moose in the US and potentially-infected, could have exposed OTHERS via blood donation or sexual contact, etc. When such a powerful main stream scientist sounds the warning regarding prion disease, this indicates much more of a problem then the CDC, the government, or anyone ever realized...or admitted. Combine this to the UK scientist who likened prion to 'alien' pathogen and an alarm should sound in the minds of all reasonable, rational people. Anyone who eats MEAT, or meat additive products, is playing Russian Roulette.

Mad Deer, Elk, Moose...And How Many Other Animals?
At Rense.com, I have been carefully tracking the current, exploding,100% deadly CWD Mad Deer prion epidemic as it races across the US. Latest reports show it to be in at least 14 states and Canada. Tens of thousands of deer and elk heads have been brought to storage sites and locations to be sawn open and the brains to be checked for CWD prion infection.
Efforts announced by at least two states to go into a large designated areas where CWD deer have been found and to shoot all the deer to death to 'stop' the spread of CWD/Mad Deer disease are absurd.
No one knows exactly how Mad Deer/CWD prions are being spread through the deer population. The best guess is saliva and body fluids...BUT no one has - or can - rule out aerosolized transmission. No one knows how CWD found its way into farmed, isolated elk herds in the US and Canada, either.
There was one rather bizarre government explanation a few years ago which attempted to explain the outbreak of CWD in deer as deriving directly from foraging deer on open cattle ranches becoming infected from EATING CATTLE FEED which was dumped in the fields for the cattle, especially during the winter months.
Amazingly, the public bought this lame excuse with nary a whimper. NO ONE bothered to ask about the CATTLE!
Of course, there is no Mad Cow/BSE in the U.S. according to the Beef and Dairy Industries and the USDA. But just for speculation, let's assume there were a number of cases of mad cow discovered here in the US, what do you suppose would happen to the mega-billion dollar beef and dairy industries? Hint: remember what happened in Great Britain. Howard ***** (madcowboy.com) regularly speculates on the issue of possible BSE in US cattle. For speaking his piece, he was named in a major lawsuit with Oprah by the beef industry. Howard and Oprah prevailed.
Keep in mind the incubation period for Mad Cow/BSE can be 5 years and longer... maybe even up to 20 years. Here in the US, beef cattle are slaughtered long before their fifth birthdays. Another note to remember: so-called 'downer cattle' - thousands and thousands of sick and dying animals...are routinely sent to slaughter. And no effort is made to check for BSE.
Back to the catastrophic slaughter of animals in the UK during the height of the Mad Cow disaster. How did the Brits get rid of the prions in the infected animal cadavers? They either buried the bodies in vast pits or they burned them in huge pyres. The corpses in the pits have largely all decomposed by now. Many express little doubt prions have made their way into nearby water tables, streams and rivers. In the case of the massive burning of corpses, there is little doubt prions were carried off into the environment in the mountains of smoke and vapors rising from the flames and fire.
What happens to road kill...from rabid raccoons to possibly CWD deer and scores of other animal types? Answer: they are picked up and usually taken to rendering plants, along with millions of bodies of pet cats and dogs, to be made into PET FOOD and commercial and garden fertilizer products. Did you know many veterinarians report increased numbers of dementia-like illnesses in dogs and cats?
Back to the estimated 200,000 deer and elk heads now - or soon to be - sitting in storage waiting to be sawed into to extract the brains for analysis. What will the government agencies do with all of these heads? Answer: they will probably burn them in crematories...and, yes, expel a certain amount of prions into the environment with each and every CWD positive head or brain they immolate.

Jeff - I have to wonder if we are seeing prion disease in fish and water animals, reptiles. Remember, the reptiles that died in a 4-year span in Florida showed 'neurological symptoms.' This may be prion infection and NOT WNV. The research needs to be ongoing to find out what killed or is killing HUNDREDS of alligators. So, are other forms of life prone to prion infection? I believe the answer is YES. What about the Brant geese? We never found out what killed all of those thousands of Brant Geese last November and January. They died of symptoms which sounded very much like prion disease. If, as most of us believe, mutated prions have entered the environment, they may also be in our water and even in the air thanks to crematories. As you mentioned, the funeral crematorium could be sending out mutant prions. Birds pass over and voila. People living adjacent or even driving by with the windows done would potentially be exposed. So far, no one is testing to find out
how many prions are sent skyward when burning a CJD corpse...
_____
And what about human cadavers of the people who die from 'Alzheimer's' or those who are actually diagnosed with CJD and then die?
Did you know brain biopsies are refused to patients suspected of having CJD? Did you know dozens of brain surgery patients have sued a major hospital because a prior patient was found to have had CJD and that hospital had to warn all successive patients that they may now have CJD, too? -- Because the hospital knows autoclaving reusable, invasive surgical instruments cannot sterilize them of prions.
Dentists are perhaps the most adamant about refusing to face the fact that THEIR surgical/invasive/reusable instruments might also NOT be sterilizable from prion contamination. Want to see an unhappy dentist? Take this material into the office and ask him or her to read through it. You'll get the standard line: "If there was a problem, the ADA would notify us immediately." Or, "Until they change the sterilization protocols, we will stay with the official guidelines." And if you don't like it, feel free to find another dentist...
For more than the past four years, I have been demanding a complete cessation of the reuse of invasive surgical and dental instruments. This should be considered a national priority.
Here is a recent note to Dr. Patricia Doyle, PhD and her response:

It is well past time we need to begin putting all of these prion diseases in the same 100% FATAL basket and stop labeling them differently...CJD, BSE, CWD, etc. This is a deception and it must end.
As we know, prions are essentially indestructible. They are a POTENTIAL mechanism by which much of the world population, human and animal, could be reduced. One of the top UK scientists said prions seem like an 'ALIEN DISEASE' recently.

Hello, Jeff - I totally agree with you on the fact that prion disease is the same disease, nuances of each just affect different parts of the brain. Whether it affects or "spongifies" the cerebellum, brain stem or cebral cortex differentiates the name. The fact that the CDC and others don't recognize it
makes no difference -- the disease mechanism factor is the same: the prion.
I look at it like computer "programming." Someone may have figured out how to "program" a prion or protein to misfold, and learned how that 'rogue' protein will affect the brain. That is a pretty tall order, even for our current advances in biotechnology...but for an alien culture, it could be child's play.
Jeff, do you know if there has ever been any research on those who have been abducted? I would look for changes in spinal fluid and brain tissue. I am wondering what percent of those who claim abduction, and I believe that most are telling the truth about being abducted, have brain and spinal nuance changes. What a great research project that would make.
Quite possibly, programming prion mutation, is, as the British researcher put it, is 'alien.' I doubt if this type of research will go foward in the prion community as most, like Dr. Fred Cohen of UCSF, call those of us with such opinions 'uncredible.' I have written to him on several occassions and was not given much consideration or even professional courtesy.
I do believe, and so mentioned on your program, that cattle/animal mutilations might have some bearing on the current prion disease outbreaks which are of a mass epidemic now in the North
American deer and elk populations.
Another thing I am wondering is if the chemtrails have any bearing on the spread. I wonder if any of the chemtrail investigators have tested for prion or synthetic proteins or proteins of any form in
the air after heavy spraying has occurred? Just one of many possibilities.
Perhaps, "someone" either of this earth - or not - has decided to wipe out industralized first world countries? Look at those coming foward with this disease, US, UK, Europe, Japan, Australia. I don't see cases, yet, in Africa, or Latin America. Of course, they already have raging HIV/AIDS epidemics. So, we have to then ask, why?
There have been several large mutilation cases now in South and Central amercia, and it will be interesting to note if any of those countries begin to have mad cow, mad deer, mad anything disease.
Humans are very close to making this planet unlivable via pollution and raping of natural resources. Is this the environment fighting back?
Are there those forces or entities from other universes who want to void the planet Earth?
One sure way to find out if prion disease is connected with alien abductions of humans and cattle mutilations is to study the abductiees and their families for the next 20+ years. Also, one must test animals in the areas of mutilations.
It is so obvious that these "alien prions" are already in our food supply. How anyone can continue to eat meat, either deer meat or butcher meat, is beyond me.
It would also be advisable to monitor mad animal/mad people disease in areas of heavy chemtrail activity. I do not subscribe to the idea that chemtrails are the work of the Govt. trying to immunize people against biowar diseases. Immunization could not be successful administered by falling chemtrails. Too many variables. Heat, sunlight, wind dispersals, one's duration in the outdoors etc etc. I think they are more then weather control. I think it is very sinister and testing of chemtrail materials needs to include protein identification.
Well, this is just my two cents worth. I agree with you that prion disease is ONE disease (depending on programming) that affects different parts of the brain. There might even be some unidentified human factor that predisposes one to which part of the brain would spongify.
You are the only voice that has called attention to prion disease and recognized it for what it is, an epidemic that will eventually kill millions if not all on the planet.

And Another Note From Dr. Doyle
Hello, Jeff - Yes, these are all things that the CDC and others did not consider, or if they did, they did not want the information made public. Take this one step further, what about the animal crematories for Plum Island, Ames Iowa, and Ft. Detrick, etc.?
We know that there were 375 Fresian sheep from Vermont that were carrying nvTSE. Most were sent to APHIS in Newberg at Stewart Airbase to the quarantine center for "slaughter" and incineration. 21 went to Plum Island. Doubtful that any of the 21 have survived. So, where do Plum Island specimens go? The Plum will NOT answer that question clearly. Ms. Sally Hays does a two-step around that one.
At one point in time, I think it was a year or two ago, carcasses and exposed barrals were seen coming out of the pits on Plum Island. The PR people said that this was a temporary situation as the burial and dump sites were being exhumed and taken off the island. So, where does all of this red hot stuff go?
Jeff, I stated last month on your program that we have not yet begun to hear about CWD. Very very soon, we will find out that other species of animals have a prionlike disease. We have a ticking timebomb here and we are counting down to zero.
If you remember I stated on the program that I felt that Chronic Wasting Disease and nvBSE showed up about the same time that cattle mutilations became frequent. Are the cattle mutilations actually a test, searching for prions? or are they more sinister? Has "someone" been using animal tissue to develop prion disease.
It would be interesting if someone were to research the numbers of cases of CJD, sCJD, GSS, Alzheimer Disease, etc in humans around funeral and animal crematoriums. Also, it would be interesting to study the numbers of cases of BSE, nvTSE in the UK and Europe in relation to nearby crematoriums. I wonder if the numbers are highest near these places?
Finding numbers of human cases will be difficult as Alzheimer cases, I believe, are not reportable to the CDC. Still, it would be a great study and one that needs to be commenced.

Dear Jeff and Patty:
This is a riveting piece of work.You are performing an incredibly valuable service in bringing this catastrophe to the attention of people who would otherwise be left in the dark. Many of us who have been following this story through your efforts over the years have long thought along these same general lines as well, in regard to the separate names for prion reactions being deliberately misleading. Yet without your strict regular accountings, I suspect that most of us would retain only a very hazy understanding of how this terrible scourge is unfolding. It would certainly not be at all surprising if the vast majority of us harbor these deadly time-bombs by now, through one means or another.
If I may, for what it's worth, I'd like to add a comment to the concept of there being a chemtrail connection in this mess. Certainly, the world is so frankly bizarre right now that even the most skeptical person is learning to think twice before dismissing any possibility. But based on all that we have seen in the way of research, I still think that chemtrails show the earmarks of being an all-too-stupidly-human operation. I do not discount the presence of aliens on this planet in the least. It is too illogical to suppose that so many reasonable and normal people would suddenly be taken with the peculiar desire to fabricate such abysmal stories as we read and hear about. And no one untampered with by such creatures, either directly or by their astonishingly successful public relations campaign, could possibly doubt their hideously parasitical nature. An alien species which would perpetrate such abominable abuses of human free will speaks loudly and clearly for itself through its own actions, despite all sophisticated efforts at disguise. It is an enormous tragedy that so many become so confused, and can no longer see the blazingly obvious in this slow stealthy nightmare. But then, that so many do not see what any human retaining free will can see is the entire point of what the Grays are doing here.
Yet chemtrails are delivered by ordinary aircraft, and there is sufficient information available to strongly suggest that there are several overweeningly egotistical human purposes potentially at work here. It's true that no one knows for sure exactly what they are doing, except the criminally ignorant and criminally secretive authorities themselves. But this operation is one which leads seamlessly from many previous and lesser versions of similar insanities. There is a great deal of human precedent for such a monstrous effort, and plenty of the usual mad-scientist variety of scientific research to back it up. It is painful to recall that science was originally the noble act of tracing the subtle workings of cause and effect in nature. And that now it consists mainly of murderously vain human attempts to override those very same laws of cause and effect.
Chemtrails still look to me, after all this time, to be a disastrous attempt to alter the basic chemistry of the atmosphere in order to make it "serve" new forms of Prize Idiot Human technology. Whether the supposed primary goal is an ozone-mitigation folly, the implementation of incalculably dangerous new weapons, new communications systems, or a mixture of all of these and more- we can only guess, but we don't know for sure. What we do know is that the chemfogs we breathe are poisonous, and that a number of cowardly humans in responsible positions know this, and are lying about it straight to our faces.
My guess would be that cattle mutilations, if connected to prion investigation (and that's a very intelligent supposition), might be to see how their hoped-for real estate and human and animal chattel are holding up under human degenerative practices. They have long shown intense solicitousness for the health of that which they clearly wish to own and operate as soon as possible.
Whatever the intricate truth of all this turns out to be, without places on the internet to look for it, we would be out of luck. What we would do without people like you, who are willing to go to such lengths in order to research, store, and share information, is unthinkable.
Thank you, as always. The worse it gets, the more valuable the lights in the gloom.

Cattle Mutilations Explained?
End Of The Beef Industry?
By Jeff Rense
12-3-2
The following discussion is meant to open the door to new research and earnest 'official' scientific scrutiny.
CJD, sCJD, nvVJD, vCJD, CWD Mad Deer Disease, BSE Mad Cow Disease, TSE, Alzheimer's and so on are all names of the SAME basic 100% fatal disease conditions caused by 'misfolded proteins' known as prions.
After studying these diseases and their frightening progress over the years, it is now clear they are all directly related to one another. These misfolded proteins seat themselves in the host brain and immediately begin to turn it into hole-filled sponge-like material.
The only appreciable difference between prions seems to be which part of the brain is turned to mush.
In the only published research of its type, the brains of approximately 65 Alzheimer's victims were analyzed. About 15 of the brains showed death by 'CJD'... classic prion disease...and not what is called 'Alzheimer's' Disease.
The point: if about 25% of Alzheimer's deaths were caused by CJD, where is it coming from?? Of course, there has never been a single, solitary case of Mad Cow disease here in the US...so cow meat couldn't possibly be the source...
What of Alzheimer's itself? What is at work destroying the brain? Prions? YES. Alzheimer's is marked by an accumulation of amyloid, an abnormally folded protein which forms fibrils. Fibrils are abnormal strings of proteins clumped together; the fibrils accumulate because they are difficult for the body's natural defenses to remove.
Here are two items from an excellent overview of prion diseases at: http://www.biology.hawaii.edu/Bio406/files/BIO406_lec_04.PDF
"Degenerative diseases of the nervous system associated with amyloid amyloid formation are frequently caused by caused by misfolded peptides (proteins)."
Neuronal degeneration associated with amyloid plaque formation:
* Alzheimer's disease
* Prion diseases
Indestructible Prions
These 'rogue' proteins - prions - are virtually indestructible. Hundreds scientific reports, studies and papers describe how prions cannot be frozen to death, do not respond to ANY antibiotics or chemical treatments and withstand temperatures of approximately 1000 degrees F.
Autoclaves, upon which medicine and dentistry rely to sterilize all reusable invasive instruments, operate at around 250 degrees...far too low to even approach destroying these killer proteins - which one leading and extremely perplexed British scientist recently described, only half in jest, as not being from this planet. There may be more truth to his offhand remark than he realized.
Mutilations And Monitoring
CJD/BSE prions are clearly being spread throughout the environment. We are now going to state, with reasonable conviction, that prions are linked to the mystery of widespread cattle, horse and many other types of animal mutilations which have been a near constant phenomenon since the late 1960's.
Is 'someone' monitoring the spread of prions in our gravely-declining environment by taking tissue samples from these animals? I now believe that to likely be at least part of the answer.
We do know that human tonsils, when biopsied, have been found to contain prions in infected patients. Further, a Nobel Laureate has just announced that prions have also now been found in the MUSCLE tissue of infected mice...but in lower concentrations than brain tissue. (see story below). How many prions does it take to become infected?
Human Pharmaceuticals Found In Some Mutilated Cattle
Most mutilated cattle, horses, etc, evidence the same precise wounds to the head, reproductive and rectal areas. There are always organs missing, most often the eyes, tongue and the rectum. As is well-known, the wounds aren't 'cuts' but are laser-like 'incisions' done at estimated temperatures of close to 400 degrees F. There is never blood at the incision sites or much, if any remaining in the corpse. It is also reported that back muscles of the animals often show internal bleeding...indicative of something that occurred from above them. Many of the dead animals also show signs of having been dropped to the ground...with broken bones and horns shoved deeply into the soil.
Researcher and former police officer Ted Oliphant visited this program on several occasions a number of years ago. He revealed in detail how, during his extensive cattle mutilation investigations in Alabama beginning in 1992, traces of human pharmaceuticals such as anti-coagulants and pain killers were found in some of the mutilated cattle. That would suggest humans were involved in SOME of the Alabama cases.
If humans were involved in some of the mutilations, they removed for apparent testing the same basic tissues and organs that are universally-reported to be taken during these mysterious cases.
But what about the rest of the mutilations in North and South America and elsewhere...going back nearly four decades... and including the very recent deaths of scores of cattle, horses, llamas and wild boar, etc, in Argentina? Many of those cases were accompanied by unambiguous sightings of UFOs by dozens of eyewitnesses.
And how about human mutilations? In one South American case - documented with photos and complete autopsy - an adult male was found in Brazil in September, 1988, will all the hallmark signs of classic cattle mutilation. Brazilian police reported there were at least a dozen other similar unsolved human mutilation deaths at that time.
A logical conclusion to entertain might be that both ET 'visitors' and humans are monitoring the spread of prions now. It is a reasonable guess that clandestine tissue monitoring might also going on at slaughterhouses around the US.
Again: How many prions does it take to become infected?
No More Fully-Sterile Invasive Medical/Dental Instruments
We DO know that in the ONLY study ever done (or released to the public...) on invasive, reusable medical (tonsillectomy) instruments in the UK, over 50% of the instruments were found to be contaminated with deadly prions AFTER REPEATED STERILIZATIONS.
That particularly 'bad news' story disappeared VERY quickly from the UK mass media.
About the time the tonsillectomy instrument story was published, a new UK study was announced that thousands of tonsils taken from UK children and young people would be tested for prions.
To our knowledge, RESULTS of that study WERE NEVER MADE PUBLIC.
Beside the mystery tonsil tests, and tests on human brains of the deceased, no prion tests of any other human tissues have been noted in the media or mentioned in scientific reports. No prion tests of human tongues, rectal tissues, eyes, or any internal organs.
Another news story also appeared proposing that a routine biopsy of tonsil tissues in humans might be the best and quickest way to screen for prion disease. That story, too, came by once...and then vanished.
Prions, Lies And Death
Note - the first deer deaths from CWD occurred in an isolated heard in the US in the mid-1960's...something few recall. Note also, that the first 'official' animal mutilation befell 'Skippy' the horse in Colorado in the late 1967 and there have been over 10,000 reported cattle mutilations since then.
And what about those with HIV/AIDS? It is a fact that 50% of those who become HIV positive show almost immediate signs of compromised brain activity...commonly-called 'AIDS dementia'. Late stage AIDS is almost invariably marked with massive dementia. Is there a correlation between prion disease and the dementia in AIDS patients?
And remember all the lies...for years...from the British government about Mad Cow and the risks to humans? The British government finally, formally apologized to its people but only after over 100 had died from the 'human form' of mad cow prion disease. And how many Britons became infected because of those lies and are incubating prions right now but are not yet showing symptoms? Is this why the results of the tonsil biopsy tests were never, to our knowledge, released to the public?
Remember how the British officials first promised there was no danger from eating beef...but that the public should simply not eat beef brains? Then the government said the consumer should avoid both brain AND spinal tissues. And then, at long last, the British government banned ALL beef 'on the bone'. That simple progression of common sense took years to occur.
Meanwhile, about four years ago, the British government ordered all optometrists and other professionals fitting patients for contact lenses to immediately STOP USING REUSABLE CONTACT LENSES for fitting in patients' eyes. Why do you suppose that happened?
And then there was the cosmetic surgery clinic which had to notify a number of successive patients that an earlier patient turned out to have CJD and that they all might be infected with fatal prion disease.
Also, if you remember, there were patients at a birthing hospital in the UK who had to be told they might have contracted mad cow disease after a patient who had C section died from the disease. Not much information on that situation was forthcoming either. It came out once and then...gone! Never to be followed up. We wonder how many of those women and their babies contracted the disease. We wonder if the baby of the mad cow deceased mother contracted it as well.
And in that we now know prions are also found in muscle tissue - in addition to brain and spinal tissues - how can we RULE OUT the presence of these TINY killer proteins - or the agent that causes them to misfold - in the blood supply? Answer: we cannot.
"Everyone Should Be Tested"
And now comes a formal call by Dr. Stanley Pruisner that EVERYONE in
Britain be tested for prion disease and infectivity.
Here is that story:
Top Nobel Scientist Wants ALL Britons Tested For CJD
Nobel Laureate Warns Of Prions Found In Animal Muscle
How Many Prions Does It Take To Become Infected?
By Richard Woodman
12-2-2
LONDON (Reuters Health) - The scientist who won the Nobel prize for discovering prions, the abnormal proteins implicated in mad cow disease, has called for all Britons to be tested for the deadly brain ailment after finding surprisingly high prion levels in the muscles of mice infected with a similar illness, British newspapers reported Sunday.
Professor Stanley Prusiner of the University of California, San Francisco, told the Independent that the finding raised the "obvious worry" that cows and sheep could be similarly affected. Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been linked to a similar illness in humans who ate contaminated meat. Sheep can carry a related illness called scrapie.
Until now, levels of prions in infected cow and sheep meat and muscle tissue were always believed to be low enough not to pose a significant risk of transmission and the emphasis was to remove the brain and spinal cord, which harbor much higher levels.
However, according to the newspaper, new tests being pioneered at the University of California are far more sensitive and have discovered higher concentrations of prions in muscle than have previously been found.
While describing the findings as significant, Prusiner stressed that the levels are still 100-fold less than those found in brains.
He called for testing of everyone in Britain to establish the true extent of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which has killed 117 people since 1995.
"A million cattle infected with BSE entered the British food chain so almost everyone in the country will have been exposed to the infectious prion proteins that cause variant CJD. Every Briton should be tested so that if they are developing the disease it can be spotted before symptoms appear," he told the Sunday Times.
Prusiner was in Britain to discuss research into the disease.
Last week scientists at University College London reported that research on mice suggested BSE caused the "sporadic" strain of CJD, as well as variant CJD, which, if confirmed, could significantly increase the number of potential victims.

Jeff - This is AMAZING! Simply amazing. When Dr. Pruisner, foremost Prionologist in the WORLD, suggests all Britons get tested for prion disease, you KNOW we have a crisis situation. I think people in the US need to be tested as well. It is not simply a matter of people eating deer meat or CWD infected meat. Many of these people who ate Deer, Elk or Moose in the US and potentially-infected, could have exposed OTHERS via blood donation or sexual contact, etc. When such a powerful main stream scientist sounds the warning regarding prion disease, this indicates much more of a problem then the CDC, the government, or anyone ever realized...or admitted. Combine this to the UK scientist who likened prion to 'alien' pathogen and an alarm should sound in the minds of all reasonable, rational people. Anyone who eats MEAT, or meat additive products, is playing Russian Roulette.
_____
Mad Deer, Elk, Moose...And How Many Other Animals?
At Rense.com, I have been carefully tracking the current, exploding,100% deadly CWD Mad Deer prion epidemic as it races across the US. Latest reports show it to be in at least 14 states and Canada. Tens of thousands of deer and elk heads have been brought to storage sites and locations to be sawn open and the brains to be checked for CWD prion infection.
Efforts announced by at least two states to go into a large designated areas where CWD deer have been found and to shoot all the deer to death to 'stop' the spread of CWD/Mad Deer disease are absurd.
No one knows exactly how Mad Deer/CWD prions are being spread through the deer population. The best guess is saliva and body fluids...BUT no one has - or can - rule out aerosolized transmission. No one knows how CWD found its way into farmed, isolated elk herds in the US and Canada, either.
There was one rather bizarre government explanation a few years ago which attempted to explain the outbreak of CWD in deer as deriving directly from foraging deer on open cattle ranches becoming infected from EATING CATTLE FEED which was dumped in the fields for the cattle, especially during the winter months.
Amazingly, the public bought this lame excuse with nary a whimper. NO ONE bothered to ask about the CATTLE!
Of course, there is no Mad Cow/BSE in the U.S. according to the Beef and Dairy Industries and the USDA. But just for speculation, let's assume there were a number of cases of mad cow discovered here in the US, what do you suppose would happen to the mega-billion dollar beef and dairy industries? Hint: remember what happened in Great Britain. Howard ***** (madcowboy.com) regularly speculates on the issue of possible BSE in US cattle. For speaking his piece, he was named in a major lawsuit with Oprah by the beef industry. Howard and Oprah prevailed.
Keep in mind the incubation period for Mad Cow/BSE can be 5 years and longer... maybe even up to 20 years. Here in the US, beef cattle are slaughtered long before their fifth birthdays. Another note to remember: so-called 'downer cattle' - thousands and thousands of sick and dying animals...are routinely sent to slaughter. And no effort is made to check for BSE.
Back to the catastrophic slaughter of animals in the UK during the height of the Mad Cow disaster. How did the Brits get rid of the prions in the infected animal cadavers? They either buried the bodies in vast pits or they burned them in huge pyres. The corpses in the pits have largely all decomposed by now. Many express little doubt prions have made their way into nearby water tables, streams and rivers. In the case of the massive burning of corpses, there is little doubt prions were carried off into the environment in the mountains of smoke and vapors rising from the flames and fire.
What happens to road kill...from rabid raccoons to possibly CWD deer and scores of other animal types? Answer: they are picked up and usually taken to rendering plants, along with millions of bodies of pet cats and dogs, to be made into PET FOOD and commercial and garden fertilizer products. Did you know many veterinarians report increased numbers of dementia-like illnesses in dogs and cats?
Back to the estimated 200,000 deer and elk heads now - or soon to be - sitting in storage waiting to be sawed into to extract the brains for analysis. What will the government agencies do with all of these heads? Answer: they will probably burn them in crematories...and, yes, expel a certain amount of prions into the environment with each and every CWD positive head or brain they immolate.

Jeff - I have to wonder if we are seeing prion disease in fish and water animals, reptiles. Remember, the reptiles that died in a 4-year span in Florida showed 'neurological symptoms.' This may be prion infection and NOT WNV. The research needs to be ongoing to find out what killed or is killing HUNDREDS of alligators. So, are other forms of life prone to prion infection? I believe the answer is YES. What about the Brant geese? We never found out what killed all of those thousands of Brant Geese last November and January. They died of symptoms which sounded very much like prion disease. If, as most of us believe, mutated prions have entered the environment, they may also be in our water and even in the air thanks to crematories. As you mentioned, the funeral crematorium could be sending out mutant prions. Birds pass over and voila. People living adjacent or even driving by with the windows done would potentially be exposed. So far, no one is testing to find out
how many prions are sent skyward when burning a CJD corpse...
_____
And what about human cadavers of the people who die from 'Alzheimer's' or those who are actually diagnosed with CJD and then die?
Did you know brain biopsies are refused to patients suspected of having CJD? Did you know dozens of brain surgery patients have sued a major hospital because a prior patient was found to have had CJD and that hospital had to warn all successive patients that they may now have CJD, too? -- Because the hospital knows autoclaving reusable, invasive surgical instruments cannot sterilize them of prions.
Dentists are perhaps the most adamant about refusing to face the fact that THEIR surgical/invasive/reusable instruments might also NOT be sterilizable from prion contamination. Want to see an unhappy dentist? Take this material into the office and ask him or her to read through it. You'll get the standard line: "If there was a problem, the ADA would notify us immediately." Or, "Until they change the sterilization protocols, we will stay with the official guidelines." And if you don't like it, feel free to find another dentist...
For more than the past four years, I have been demanding a complete cessation of the reuse of invasive surgical and dental instruments. This should be considered a national priority.
Here is a recent note to Dr. Patricia Doyle, PhD and her response:

It is well past time we need to begin putting all of these prion diseases in the same 100% FATAL basket and stop labeling them differently...CJD, BSE, CWD, etc. This is a deception and it must end.
As we know, prions are essentially indestructible. They are a POTENTIAL mechanism by which much of the world population, human and animal, could be reduced. One of the top UK scientists said prions seem like an 'ALIEN DISEASE' recently.

Hello, Jeff - I totally agree with you on the fact that prion disease is the same disease, nuances of each just affect different parts of the brain. Whether it affects or "spongifies" the cerebellum, brain stem or cebral cortex differentiates the name. The fact that the CDC and others don't recognize it
makes no difference -- the disease mechanism factor is the same: the prion.
I look at it like computer "programming." Someone may have figured out how to "program" a prion or protein to misfold, and learned how that 'rogue' protein will affect the brain. That is a pretty tall order, even for our current advances in biotechnology...but for an alien culture, it could be child's play.
Jeff, do you know if there has ever been any research on those who have been abducted? I would look for changes in spinal fluid and brain tissue. I am wondering what percent of those who claim abduction, and I believe that most are telling the truth about being abducted, have brain and spinal nuance changes. What a great research project that would make.
Quite possibly, programming prion mutation, is, as the British researcher put it, is 'alien.' I doubt if this type of research will go foward in the prion community as most, like Dr. Fred Cohen of UCSF, call those of us with such opinions 'uncredible.' I have written to him on several occassions and was not given much consideration or even professional courtesy.
I do believe, and so mentioned on your program, that cattle/animal mutilations might have some bearing on the current prion disease outbreaks which are of a mass epidemic now in the North
American deer and elk populations.
Another thing I am wondering is if the chemtrails have any bearing on the spread. I wonder if any of the chemtrail investigators have tested for prion or synthetic proteins or proteins of any form in
the air after heavy spraying has occurred? Just one of many possibilities.
Perhaps, "someone" either of this earth - or not - has decided to wipe out industralized first world countries? Look at those coming foward with this disease, US, UK, Europe, Japan, Australia. I don't see cases, yet, in Africa, or Latin America. Of course, they already have raging HIV/AIDS epidemics. So, we have to then ask, why?
There have been several large mutilation cases now in South and Central amercia, and it will be interesting to note if any of those countries begin to have mad cow, mad deer, mad anything disease.
Humans are very close to making this planet unlivable via pollution and raping of natural resources. Is this the environment fighting back?
Are there those forces or entities from other universes who want to void the planet Earth?
One sure way to find out if prion disease is connected with alien abductions of humans and cattle mutilations is to study the abductiees and their families for the next 20+ years. Also, one must test animals in the areas of mutilations.
It is so obvious that these "alien prions" are already in our food supply. How anyone can continue to eat meat, either deer meat or butcher meat, is beyond me.
It would also be advisable to monitor mad animal/mad people disease in areas of heavy chemtrail activity. I do not subscribe to the idea that chemtrails are the work of the Govt. trying to immunize people against biowar diseases. Immunization could not be successful administered by falling chemtrails. Too many variables. Heat, sunlight, wind dispersals, one's duration in the outdoors etc etc. I think they are more then weather control. I think it is very sinister and testing of chemtrail materials needs to include protein identification.
Well, this is just my two cents worth. I agree with you that prion disease is ONE disease (depending on programming) that affects different parts of the brain. There might even be some unidentified human factor that predisposes one to which part of the brain would spongify.
You are the only voice that has called attention to prion disease and recognized it for what it is, an epidemic that will eventually kill millions if not all on the planet.
Patty
And Another Note From Dr. Doyle
Hello, Jeff - Yes, these are all things that the CDC and others did not consider, or if they did, they did not want the information made public. Take this one step further, what about the animal crematories for Plum Island, Ames Iowa, and Ft. Detrick, etc.?
We know that there were 375 Fresian sheep from Vermont that were carrying nvTSE. Most were sent to APHIS in Newberg at Stewart Airbase to the quarantine center for "slaughter" and incineration. 21 went to Plum Island. Doubtful that any of the 21 have survived. So, where do Plum Island specimens go? The Plum will NOT answer that question clearly. Ms. Sally Hays does a two-step around that one.
At one point in time, I think it was a year or two ago, carcasses and exposed barrals were seen coming out of the pits on Plum Island. The PR people said that this was a temporary situation as the burial and dump sites were being exhumed and taken off the island. So, where does all of this red hot stuff go?
Jeff, I stated last month on your program that we have not yet begun to hear about CWD. Very very soon, we will find out that other species of animals have a prionlike disease. We have a ticking timebomb here and we are counting down to zero.
If you remember I stated on the program that I felt that Chronic Wasting Disease and nvBSE showed up about the same time that cattle mutilations became frequent. Are the cattle mutilations actually a test, searching for prions? or are they more sinister? Has "someone" been using animal tissue to develop prion disease.
It would be interesting if someone were to research the numbers of cases of CJD, sCJD, GSS, Alzheimer Disease, etc in humans around funeral and animal crematoriums. Also, it would be interesting to study the numbers of cases of BSE, nvTSE in the UK and Europe in relation to nearby crematoriums. I wonder if the numbers are highest near these places?
Finding numbers of human cases will be difficult as Alzheimer cases, I believe, are not reportable to the CDC. Still, it would be a great study and one that needs to be commenced.

Dear Jeff and Patty:
This is a riveting piece of work.You are performing an incredibly valuable service in bringing this catastrophe to the attention of people who would otherwise be left in the dark. Many of us who have been following this story through your efforts over the years have long thought along these same general lines as well, in regard to the separate names for prion reactions being deliberately misleading. Yet without your strict regular accountings, I suspect that most of us would retain only a very hazy understanding of how this terrible scourge is unfolding. It would certainly not be at all surprising if the vast majority of us harbor these deadly time-bombs by now, through one means or another.
If I may, for what it's worth, I'd like to add a comment to the concept of there being a chemtrail connection in this mess. Certainly, the world is so frankly bizarre right now that even the most skeptical person is learning to think twice before dismissing any possibility. But based on all that we have seen in the way of research, I still think that chemtrails show the earmarks of being an all-too-stupidly-human operation. I do not discount the presence of aliens on this planet in the least. It is too illogical to suppose that so many reasonable and normal people would suddenly be taken with the peculiar desire to fabricate such abysmal stories as we read and hear about. And no one untampered with by such creatures, either directly or by their astonishingly successful public relations campaign, could possibly doubt their hideously parasitical nature. An alien species which would perpetrate such abominable abuses of human free will speaks loudly and clearly for itself through its own actions, despite all sophisticated efforts at disguise. It is an enormous tragedy that so many become so confused, and can no longer see the blazingly obvious in this slow stealthy nightmare. But then, that so many do not see what any human retaining free will can see is the entire point of what the Grays are doing here.
Yet chemtrails are delivered by ordinary aircraft, and there is sufficient information available to strongly suggest that there are several overweeningly egotistical human purposes potentially at work here. It's true that no one knows for sure exactly what they are doing, except the criminally ignorant and criminally secretive authorities themselves. But this operation is one which leads seamlessly from many previous and lesser versions of similar insanities. There is a great deal of human precedent for such a monstrous effort, and plenty of the usual mad-scientist variety of scientific research to back it up. It is painful to recall that science was originally the noble act of tracing the subtle workings of cause and effect in nature. And that now it consists mainly of murderously vain human attempts to override those very same laws of cause and effect.
Chemtrails still look to me, after all this time, to be a disastrous attempt to alter the basic chemistry of the atmosphere in order to make it "serve" new forms of Prize Idiot Human technology. Whether the supposed primary goal is an ozone-mitigation folly, the implementation of incalculably dangerous new weapons, new communications systems, or a mixture of all of these and more- we can only guess, but we don't know for sure. What we do know is that the chemfogs we breathe are poisonous, and that a number of cowardly humans in responsible positions know this, and are lying about it straight to our faces.
My guess would be that cattle mutilations, if connected to prion investigation (and that's a very intelligent supposition), might be to see how their hoped-for real estate and human and animal chattel are holding up under human degenerative practices. They have long shown intense solicitousness for the health of that which they clearly wish to own and operate as soon as possible.
Whatever the intricate truth of all this turns out to be, without places on the internet to look for it, we would be out of luck. What we would do without people like you, who are willing to go to such lengths in order to research, store, and share information, is unthinkable.
Thank you, as always. The worse it gets, the more valuable the lights in the gloom.

Submitted by Derrel Sims
Note from Derrel Sims: This lengthy report is given freely by Charles T. "Ted" Oliphant lll. No editing has been done to the body of this work. Ted and I have discussed cattle and human mutilations for several years now. When I am in the Bay Area, we meet. This is a fascinating man. He is succinct and articulate. This is an extraordinary work from which many others have "borrowed" freely. Ted deserves tremendous credit.
There is much more to this mutilation business than meets the eye, or that has been found out by those who investigate such matters. Perhaps this brilliant article will open some new areas of investigation on the Medical/Scientific level by others who may have guilty knowledge of such matters and who might come forth with more of the truth.

Everything I claim will hold up in court, every instance actually occurred. The witnesses are real and I was there when it happened, I take 100% responsibility for every statement. This is a true story and you can take that to the bank. I know for a fact that my other source was physically involved in refeuling the flights. The last seven years of my work have finally come together, in only the last three weeks. I think it's important information that people have a right, and a need to know.
I would very much appreciate it if you did pass it along to anybody you think will find it pertinent information. I can give you specific references to every paragraph in my article. Every reference is documented in a way you'd appreciate. I don't claim to explain "every" cattle mutilation case, but I can explain some of "them".
Thank you for the kind words Derrel, you are one of the FEW people out there doing real research. You maintain my respect.

Dead Cows I've Known
by Ted Oliphant III
Recently the British Secretary of Health admitted that Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or "Mad Cow Disease" may be a species jumper. This means that humans exposed to animals with BSE, can also contract it. This announcement set off a panic, with many countries (Most Notably France, Belgium, Germany and The United States) announcing boycotts of all British beef. There was serious consideration given to destroying all eleven million head of British cattle. But how do you dispose of 11,000,000 dead cows?
Some projections for the year 2010, suggest that up to 200,000 people could be affected each year from Mad Cow Disease related Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD). This is in Great Britain alone. People don't die from Mad Cow Disease, but from CJD after BSE infection.
What is Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease ("CJD") is a rare, fatal brain disorder which causes a rapid, progressive dementia and associated neuromuscular disturbances. The disease is often referred to as a sub acute spongiform encephalopathy because it usually produces microscopic vacuoles in neurons that appear "sponge-like". * Under the microscope, you can see "holes" in brain tissue. CJD, BSE and other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies are now referred to as "Prion" diseases, but there is still much debate in both the medical and scientific communities.
In addition to CJD, these suspected human "Prion" diseases include Kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease and Fatal Familial Insomnia. Kuru was originally found only among the Fore tribe in Papua, New Guinea and has been significantly reduced since the cessation of the ritual handling and eating of the brains of deceased relatives. Kuru is not eliminated, but only reduced to a nearly normal level. The different names for these various prion diseases have historical reasons, but they all are variations of CJD.
Among the first symptoms of the human prion diseases are visual disturbances and changes in skin sensation. There are also psychological changes. The disease is characterized by progressive problems with coordination which are typically followed by dementia. Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease and fatal familial insomnia are predominantly hereditary disorders with the former usually marked by progressive coordination and movement problems and the latter evidenced by sleeping problems preceding dementia. The suspected prion diseases occurring in animals consist of: Scrapie in sheep and goats (The pre-cursor to BSE); Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy; Chronic Wasting Disease of mule deer and elk; Feline Spongiform Encephalopathy and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.
On March 20, 1996, the British Government, in a complete reversal of its previous position, stated that there was a possible link between BSE and CJD. This new acknowledgment arose from the identification of an apparently new strain of CJD which was discovered in 10 people under the age of 42, including some teenagers. Additionally, five of the people were associated with the meat and livestock industry. Scientists advising the British Government decided that the most likely explanation for this unusual outbreak was the consumption of beef from diseased cattle before 1989, when regulations were adopted for the disposal of potentially infectious cattle offal, including brains, and the use of sheep entrails as feed ceased.*
On November 10, 1997, Professor John Pattison, Chairman of the British Government's Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Board announced on BBC TV's Panorama program; that the National Blood Supply could be contaminated with a "New" human strain of mad cow disease. "It's still impossible to say with any accuracy but there could be quite significant numbers of people incubating new variant CJD, raising the possibility that these people could be donating infected blood to the national stocks," he said.
At the present time, the only proven manner for contracting CJD from an infected person has been through iatrogenic transmission, an unintended consequence of a medical procedure using tainted human matter or surgical instruments. Iatrogenic transmission of CJD has occurred in cases involving corneal transplants, implantation of electrodes in the brain, dura matter grafts, contaminated surgical instruments and the injection of natural human growth hormone derived from cadaveric pituitaries. Thus, one may become infected with CJD from direct contamination with infected neural tissue.*
There are new, strict guidelines for the handling of suspected BSE, CJD and Kuru infected tissues. Once a brain biopsy is completed, surgical instruments, scalpels and the like, are disposed of because sterilization will not kill the Prions, or proteins. This raises the question of how many times before the new guidelines were instituted, were contaminated surgical instruments used from patient to patient? Prions can not be killed, because they are not living beings. Heat sterilization does reduce the infectivity by several orders of magnitude, but the reduction is NOT total.
BSE & CJD have the potential to become Doomsday Diseases, they are very hard to detect and there is no cure or treatment. Neither is it known how many different places it could pop up: blood supplies, food supplies etc.
How did this happen & where did it come from?
The main suspicion traces the un-natural practice of feeding vegetarian animals "Rendered" food made of contaminated animals who are found dead. Rendered foods come from "Rendering plants" like the Avon plant in Geraldine, Alabama. There are hundreds of these plants throughout the United States and the world. The problem is the feeding of infectious material, but not only to vegetarian animals. This practice was also lethal for several wild cats in British zoos, and the mink populations in the United States.
What goes on at a rendering plant?
Rendering plants act as an animal disposal unit for dead livestock. Instead of burning and disposing of dead animals, they are converted to animal feeds. I visited the Avon plant in 1993 and witnessed this process, where nothing is wasted. Area farmers and ranchers are invited to drop off any dead farm animal. The animals are crushed up in large mulchers and poured into enormous high pressure vats where they are cooked into multi-animal stew. The stew is further processed until it is packaged and sold to area farmers as livestock feed. I've witnessed pigs, goats, cows and horses brought to rendering plants. The animals were in various conditions. Some had been dead for over 24 hours, yet were still rendered into livestock feed. None of these animals are checked for disease or illness before they enter the food chain. Shockingly, many cows that been found "mutilated", ( missing various glands, tissue and organs) were brought to these rendering factories and processed into food for their still living relatives. I was shocked, but unlike Great Britain which has had protections against such practices since 1989, there are no such guidelines here in the United States.
What is the prospect for Mad Cow Disease to appear in the United States?
That is THE question several of us are asking, what does our government know and what aren't they telling us? The first case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease appeared in the 1890's, was finally identified in 1920 and first considered contagious during the identification and study of Kuru in the 1950's though it was, at that time, thought to be fully contained. However the identification of contaminated surgical instruments as a transport mechanism raises a bigger question...how many surgeries used contaminated scalpels?
The incubation period for BSE and CJD can range from six months to beyond 40 years. However, the incubation time can be very much longer. That means that if you ingested contaminated meat prior to becoming a vegetarian, you can still get sick many years down the road.
This isn't the first time animal parts introduced into the food chain, caused illness and death. Thyrotoxicosis (New England Journal of Medicine, Hedburg CW, Fishbein DB et all 316: 993-8, 1987) occurred when bovine thyroid glands were combined with hamburger meat and distributed throughout many communities. This caused over 100,000 people to get sick. Finally the Center for Disease Control (CDC) investigated and concluded that large doses of bovine thyroid hormone in hamburger meat, was the culprit. Here's what happened. For years the US Government bought every bovine thyroid gland it could get it's hands on for research. As a result, every meat packing plant in America was removing the thyroids and selling them to Uncle Sam for top dollar. Then all of the sudden, our government stopped buying them. Meat packing plants and butchers starting grinding up the glands and mixing them with our hamburger. That practice has, for the most part, been stopped thanks to the CDC.
The U.S. Army, The National Institute of Health (NIH) & Rocky Mountain Labs.
Quietly and secretly, The United States Army and the Center For Disease Control have worked together, off & on, for years. A perfect example of this clandestine cooperation was the outbreak and containment of Ebola Reston. You can learn more about this in an excellent book "The Hot Zone". The Army & The CDC entered the Reston monkey houses, took care of business and were gone before anybody knew what happened. They showed up in civilian clothes, and un-marked vans. All of this was done right under the noses of television camera crews who were looking around, but never saw them because the Army & CDC hid their vehicles behind buildings! Currently another organization, The National Institute of Health (NIH) has been tasked with tracking and studying something even more frightening: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathies and other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). Much of the research has been conducted at Rocky Mountain Labs. Originally it was thought that a foreign power might be trying to contaminate the American food supply. Instead they discovered a new variation of TSEs. But TSEs are no new biological evolution, in fact they are much older than the primates.
The funding for this research is hidden in the NIH's black budget for the study of AIDS. Neither AIDS or BSE are viruses, rather they are the consequences of immune systems that have been thwarted. The research has been kept quiet to prevent an outbreak of panic. But the cats out of the bag, all of us are in the same boat. Every American who's ever eaten meet has potentially been exposed to our new, common threat: Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies.
Over the last ten years, law enforcement in dozens of States have been trying to track and identify unmarked helicopters sighted where area livestock have been discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. The helicopters are seen before and after these cows are found in pastures, missing certain organs. The same things are always taken. Bovine jaws are stripped to the bone, reproductive organs removed, entire tongues, digestive tracks and rectums are "cored" out. There is little to no blood at the scene. Many tissue samples taken by police investigators and analyzed at veterinary labs, show signs of exposure to heat, three hundred degrees or more. The tissue is cooked and the incisions are cauterized by the heat. This prevents blood and other fluids from leeching onto the ground. Everything taken has to do with input, output and reproduction. In recent mutilation cases, Alabama 1993 & 1994, California 1996 and Florida 1997; pharmaceuticals have been found in bovine blood. They are: Barbiturates, Anti-coagulants, Synthetic Amphetamines, Aluminum-Titanium-Oxygen-Silicon flakes, and Antimony (Antimony: A brittle lustrous white metallic element occurring in nature, free or combined, used chiefly in alloys and in compounds in medicine. Webster's). According to recent police reports, some investigating officers have claimed that the concentrations of drugs found are not of veterinary nature, that the are pharmaceutical concentrations found would be more associated with humans. Among those law enforcement agents who have thoroughly investigated these bovine excision sites, there is a consensus that some kind of medical testing going on. The additional presence of helicopters on scene, before and after cattle are found dead missing specific organs, leads both victimized farmers and investigating officers to conclude that there is a connection. But why use human drugs on cows? Use your imagination.
Every organ taken from affected livestock has to do with input, output and reproduction. Where entire jaws have been excised in large, oval excisions, the bone is exposed and is perfectly clean. The wounds have been cauterized and there is no presence of blood. The jaw is an important area, particularly because enzymes produced in human saliva glands can kill viruses and bacteria. Though it's not the case in animals, we wonder why similar things are taken? The digestive track also acts as a filter, that absorbs, collects and stores traces of any chemical or toxin introduced. The rectum is a similar filter, as are ears. They store traces of toxins and chemicals like a library. This is true in humans and animals. So far there are no known cases of inherited BSE, but the reproductive system may be a good place to find look for clues on how TSEs pass to the next generation.
In 1993, I got a call from a man who told me that if I went to a certain place on a certain evening, I would see several helicopters land and refuel. He was right. Well after dark, two Chinook helicopters (The large twin rotor type) landed in the field behind some trees and carrying black plastic fuel bladders. Minutes later several smaller scout helicopters landed nearby, shut down and crews from the Chinooks walked over with large hoses and refueled each of a half dozen helicopters. The whole operation took less than 30 minutes and the Chinook helicopters took off and headed across the border where we tracked them to their home base, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Now we knew who they were but we couldn't figure out why they refueled on Sand Mountain. The next morning a reporter, Steven Smith from the Rainsville Weekly Post, called the Public Affairs Officer, Captain William Gibbons of the 101st Airborne and asked if they might've been in our area the previous evening. "We have no aircraft in your area, it wasn't us" said the captain. It certainly was. So we knew then that some kind of secret operation was being conducted, but we didn't know what it was. We still don't, but when you look at each piece of evidence and try to use them as puzzle pieces, these so called "cattle mutilations" might be associated with government studies of epidemiology. With BSE & CJD and many other diseases being so devastating, is it possible than many alleged cases of "cattle mutilations" are actually evidence of our tax dollars at work?
The Evidence Suppression Team from Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama; & The F.A.A. Investigation of un-marked helicopters over Sand Mountain.
The 101st Airborne Division is not suspected of being directly involved in the cattle mutilations that occurred between Oct. 1992 through May of 1993. But is seems possible they may have refueled the other witnessed un-marked helicopters that we eventually traced to Maxwell Air Force Base. The 101st's inability to tell the truth about where they had been, seems to be a constant in Federal Government employee behavior: You don't tell the truth unless somebody holds a gun to your head.
When un-marked helicopters were witnessed by local farmers and law enforcement officers, Albertville Police's Chief of Detectives Tommy Cole called in the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate. Detective Cole had lost a cow to the phantom surgeons and his wife had seen an un-marked helicopter over their pasture January 8th, 1993; the day before they discovered one of their Black Angus steers mutilated. An FAA investigator came to Albertville and Cole took him for a ride in his police car. The FAA investigator was skeptical until an un-marked helicopter flew near them. The FAA investigator couldn't believe his own eyes and pulled out a hand held radio and hailed the helicopter. The helicopter pilot didn't respond and ignored demands that he identify himself. This infuriated the FAA investigator who had now reversed his skepticism. He was able to trace the helicopter to Maxwell Air Force Base in Southern Alabama. When he launched an inquiry at the base, he was immediately told to drop it and never talk about again. A week later Chief Detective Cole received a call after midnight, it was the FAA investigator. It seems that while out in a boat on nearby Lake Guntersville, he and his family had witnessed a large triangle shaped craft flying maneuvers above them. I wonder if he ever reported that to his superiors?
There's something very wrong at the Barton Ranch in Red Bluff, California.
Bill & Jean Barton have been cattle ranchers all their lives. Jean's family has owned the same 1,600 acre cattle ranch in Northern California for over a hundred years. They have always been cattle ranchers, they have lived simple, normal lives most of that time. Then, something terrible happened on Oct. 16, 1995. Something that would change their lives forever. of their cows were found dead on their land near Eagle Lake. It was found missing teats from the udder, it's jaw had been stripped and an ear was missing. Then it happened again, and again and again. By the time the first year had passed, the Barton's had lost four head of livestock. Then, exactly one year from the first grizzly discovery, it happened again. On Oct. 16, 1996 a cow was found missing it's entire udder, it's rectum had been cut out and it's jaw was also missing.
The Barton's had never seen anything like this before, not in a lifetime of raising cattle. But the nightmare wasn't, isn't over. By the end 1996, the Barton's had lost seven more head under the exact same circumstances. This brought the head-count to eleven. In March 2, 1997 I received a call from Jean Barton asking me to come investigate suspicious cattle death number 14. When I and another Investigator, Stan Musselman, arrived at the ranch, Jean took us to the crime scene. This cow had been dead for three days, It was in a state of typical decomposition. That's the problem when you own such a large ranch, you can't police it. It might be two days before you discover something wrong. It turned into a recipe for certain disaster, and the circumstances and logistics, ensured the Barton's continual victimization.
There was blow fly larvae under the cows left front shoulder. There was the attendant smell of rotting flesh. I had learned early on, to stand up-wind of bovine carcasses. I learned that important lesson fast, when I first examined similar cases in Alabama in 1992 & 1993. If you don't stand up-wind, you'll get sick quick. This cow looked identical to what I'd witnessed, over and over, thirty five times before on Alabama ranches. Under the right front shoulder, there was an eight inch diameter circle of flesh and udder missing. The udder was missing. Their was an enormous gaping hole where the rectum and vagina had been. It measured over ten inches across. Where the udder had once been, there was an even larger incision which lead halfway down the right rear leg. The leg muscle had been removed all the way to the bone. Then I saw something I'd seen once before.
Along the edges of the incision I could see a swirling, stepped and notched cut made by something similar to pinking shears. Again there was no blood on the incisions where hide, muscle and organs had been extricated. Deja-Vu, I might as well have been back in Alabama. The same damn thing, over and over and over again. "What the hell is going on?" Stanley and I asked each other. The animal was "too far gone" to order an autopsy, or If we had known sooner, within hours of the animal's death, we could have learned more. What else had been "done" to this poor animal? The Barton's used to make a simple, honest living. Now, with the substantial economic loss they've sustained, they aren't even allowed that "luxury". These ranchers cannot afford this, it's killing their cattle, their business and most importantly, them. Surely they deserve better, but who will help them end their agony? Who will answer the question of what's happening to their cows? They deserve an answer, just like the ranchers who have found themselves in a similar predicament, over the last 34 years. What makes the Barton cases so unusual, is their sheer number. I have never heard of anyone being victimized 15 times in two years. There's something very wrong at the Barton Ranch, but what? There's a number of reason's why it's safe for me to make the following statement..."If you've had fifteen mutilations on your ranch, in two years, you've got a problem".
What might that reason be? Are devil worshippers performing surgery on your animals in time for their monthly celebrations? Or are aliens visiting you for snack food? Is this the work of coyotes? Or is it your tax dollars are work? If it isn't the devil worshippers, and if it isn't the aliens, and the coyotes have an alibi , what does that leave us with? I'm a student of Arthur Conan Doyle, and his alter-ego Sherlock Holmes. I must conclude, as they did, that after you have ruled everything else out, what you are left with MUST be the answer. My personal choice has to be "Your tax dollars at work". But why are they at work on the Barton Ranch? What's the attraction? By August of 1997, The Barton's ranch had fallen prey to the same phantom surgeons for the fifteenth time. Fifteen mutilations on the same ranch? Why? There's something very wrong at the Barton ranch, but what?
In the United States, something strange is happening at the Mexican Border.
All of the sudden truck-loads of un-healthy looking cows are being shipped into America. Forty-thousand a month. Where are they coming from?, is Mexico producing nearly a half million cattle a year for export? Or are they coming from somewhere else? Nobody seems to know, but it makes me nervous.
I don't pretend to know the solution to either the bovine excision cases nor the appearance of the mystery helicopters. I don't know where the "Mexican" cattle are really coming from. I don't know that America faces a threat from BSE, but I do feel that these questions deserve our attention. President Ronald Reagan once hypothesized: "What if one day we all found that we faced a common threat from outer space, wouldn't we all put aside our differences and work together?". President Reagan wasn't so far off, today we DO face a common threat, soon we'll realize that we all have something in common: possible exposure to Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and a host of other disease like we've never seen before.
If you have any information, pertinent speculations, criticisms or a rebuttal to this draft, please contact me. I would like to correct any mistakes before the final manuscript is published in book form..

Mad Cow Mutilations, Part Two
Copyright ©1997, Ted Oliphant III
In my fist article "Mad Cow Mutilations" I discussed the link between reported un-marked helicopters and the discovery of dead cows missing certain organs, muscles and tissues. In the first three days after first posting that article, I received 26 email inquiries requesting information on how I made the connection between Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and these so called "cattle mutilations".
In response I will now explain how the information came to me and how I connected it with the law enforcement investigations I carried out as a police officer in North East Alabama, in 1992 and 1993.
For the last seven years I have had a very good source of information, his name is Phil. Strangely, he's been able to tell me what would happen next, who was in trouble and he shared prolific insights into the situations I'd placed myself. It's a combination of his personal track-record and the recent information he's given me, that initiated my conclusions stated in the previous article. It was Phil's idea that I research Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and their connection to the investigations I carried out as a police officer in 1992 & 1993.
When I checked out his statements, I found they fit in with several left over puzzle pieces from the official investigations carried out by myself, The Alabama State Troopers and The Albertville Police Department. Additionally, a second witness was able to prove his direct involvement with the covert refueling of helicopters on Sand Mountain in 1993. It was that information coupled with Phil's identical information that allowed our investigative team to track some of the mystery helicopters back to Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.
I should state for the record that there is no proof the Air Force was involved, other than the fact that they allowed the helicopters to operate out of Maxwell. There is no indication that the Air Force knew what the helicopters were doing. There is no evidence to the contrary, either. I have to say the same about the Chinook helicopters from the 101st Airborne, though they did refuel the helicopters and later lied about, there's no proof they knew who they were refueling, or why. And again, there's no evidence to the contrary. I won't go into more detail because I have to protect the identity of the second witness. I also have to protect the identity of Phil, because he told me recently that if his full name was used, he'd deny ever knowing me. That was coming from a friend, he told me to expect "a lot of heat" over my articles. We'll see what happens, now on with facts, just the facts.
Peripheral Circulatory Shutdown of ailing livestock and their identification by means of Thermographic Infra-red Scanning.
In 1993, Phil told me that some of the helicopters we were seeing, were equipped with thermographic Infra-red scanners. These scanners allow pilots to see in the dark and fog. Every living or moving thing produces a heat signature, whether it's the exhaust from an automobile or a farmer hiding in the woods with a high powered rifle, they can bee seen easily via infra-red scanners. I know the technology exists because when I was in the Air Force, the B-52 bombers where I was stationed, had similar units called FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-red) in pods that extended from below the fuselage. It allowed our pilots to fly in bad weather and at night. Here's how and why this technology is used in the bovine excisions cases. Again the information comes from Phil, the conclusions are mine.
When a cow is in trouble, sick or dying, the first thing it experiences is peripheral circulatory shutdown. The peripheral, or outside circulation begins to shut down, this causes an immediate temperature reduction of the affected animals outside skin, or hide. When a helicopter flies low and slow over area pastures and has the infra-red scanner operating, it will notice a cow with a lower thermographic reading than the others in the herd. Find the cold cow, and you've identified a cow in trouble.
Somebody wants to know why that cow is in trouble. Since the cow will probably die anyway, it's a good choice for sample extraction. It's also a good way to narrow down farms that might be affected by disease. This answers the question everybody always asks me: "Why wouldn't the government just go around and buy cows at the livestock sale, it would be cheaper than using helicopters. They could raise their own cattle on their own land and nobody would know about". That was always a hard question to answer, until now.
There's no need to sample animals that don't appear to be at risk. If you are performing true epidemiology, you would go state to state and look for sick cows. You can't do that at a livestock sale, unless you marked the animals and came back and bought them after they were transported to the sales-lot. Even then, you'd have no assurance the cow you'd marked would be offered up for sale. Furthermore, time is of the essence, an ailing cow might not ever make it to the sale. True epidemiology requires scanning as many cows as you could, in as many different areas. You'd have to do this over the entire continental U.S. to make accurate studies and samplings.
The vast majority of the cows (female o.k.?) that I found missing organs and tissues, had calved (given birth) within 2-3 weeks before being found dead. That's significant when we remember that BSE and CJD can also be hereditary diseases. In a couple of cases we investigated, the animal's blood had been thoroughly drained (exsanguinated) and there was no blood on the animals or on the ground. Early on in the scientific study of CJD & BSE, it was determined that body fluids were highly volatile and the scientists would drain the blood entirely after sedating the animal. A curare like drug immediately immobilized the animals and the animal would die of blood loss. This may explain why no veterinarian or laboratory was ever able to tell farmers or police, the animal's cause of death. That was always a big mystery.
Now I believe some of the animals I examined, actually died of shock from blood loss. A curare-like drug is necessary to immediately incapacitate the animal, this prevents any struggle so the work can be carried out quickly. You don't want to stick around a long time and get caught by an irate farmer with a high powered rifle, that's why helicopters are the perfect vehicle to get in and out, fast. Because these cows identified through lower temperature signatures will probably die soon anyway, it's less of a moral issue for the teams performing the samplings.
Phil tells me that there are three different groups studying Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies. There is the public group, associated with Nobel Prize winner Stanley Prusiner. The second group is private and headed by a man who's name I will hold onto for the moment. The third is the government group, funded by a black budget. The groups don't share information, so each is trying to figure out what the other is doing.
By the 1960's, 112 different strains of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies had been identified. I don't have an information on how many have been identified today. I don't know if the strains identified here in the U.S. are more, or less dangerous than those still threatening Great Britain.
I don't pretend to explain every bovine excision case that's occurred across the country, I can only speak to those cases where I was directly involved in on-site investigations, working as a police officer.
In 90% of the cases we investigated, helicopters were reported seen over the affected pastures the day before or after suspicious livestock deaths occurred. Because of the foreign substances found at the scene and in the bloodstream's of the animals, we (farmers and cops alike) suspected at that time their was some kind of medical testing being performed. With the new information I've been handed recently, described in this and my previous article, I am even more convinced that we were on the right track. That is the covert surveillance and study of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies across America. Now that's this information has been put into the public's hands, the debate can begin.

Note from Derrel Sims: This lengthy report is given freely by Charles T. "Ted" Oliphant lll. No editing has been done to the body of this work. Ted and I have discussed cattle and human mutilations for several years now. When I am in the Bay Area, we meet. This is a fascinating man. He is succinct and articulate. This is an extraordinary work from which many others have "borrowed" freely. Ted deserves tremendous credit.
There is much more to this mutilation business than meets the eye, or that has been found out by those who investigate such matters. Perhaps this brilliant article will open some new areas of investigation on the Medical/Scientific level by others who may have guilty knowledge of such matters and who might come forth with more of the truth.

Dead Cows I've Known
by Ted Oliphant III
Recently the British Secretary of Health admitted that Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or "Mad Cow Disease" may be a species jumper. This means that humans exposed to animals with BSE, can also contract it. This announcement set off a panic, with many countries (Most Notably France, Belgium, Germany and The United States) announcing boycotts of all British beef. There was serious consideration given to destroying all eleven million head of British cattle. But how do you dispose of 11,000,000 dead cows?
Some projections for the year 2010, suggest that up to 200,000 people could be affected each year from Mad Cow Disease related Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD). This is in Great Britain alone. People don't die from Mad Cow Disease, but from CJD after BSE infection.
What is Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease ("CJD") is a rare, fatal brain disorder which causes a rapid, progressive dementia and associated neuromuscular disturbances. The disease is often referred to as a sub acute spongiform encephalopathy because it usually produces microscopic vacuoles in neurons that appear "sponge-like". * Under the microscope, you can see "holes" in brain tissue. CJD, BSE and other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies are now referred to as "Prion" diseases, but there is still much debate in both the medical and scientific communities.
In addition to CJD, these suspected human "Prion" diseases include Kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease and Fatal Familial Insomnia. Kuru was originally found only among the Fore tribe in Papua, New Guinea and has been significantly reduced since the cessation of the ritual handling and eating of the brains of deceased relatives. Kuru is not eliminated, but only reduced to a nearly normal level. The different names for these various prion diseases have historical reasons, but they all are variations of CJD.
Among the first symptoms of the human prion diseases are visual disturbances and changes in skin sensation. There are also psychological changes. The disease is characterized by progressive problems with coordination which are typically followed by dementia. Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease and fatal familial insomnia are predominantly hereditary disorders with the former usually marked by progressive coordination and movement problems and the latter evidenced by sleeping problems preceding dementia. The suspected prion diseases occurring in animals consist of: Scrapie in sheep and goats (The pre-cursor to BSE); Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy; Chronic Wasting Disease of mule deer and elk; Feline Spongiform Encephalopathy and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.
On March 20, 1996, the British Government, in a complete reversal of its previous position, stated that there was a possible link between BSE and CJD. This new acknowledgment arose from the identification of an apparently new strain of CJD which was discovered in 10 people under the age of 42, including some teenagers. Additionally, five of the people were associated with the meat and livestock industry. Scientists advising the British Government decided that the most likely explanation for this unusual outbreak was the consumption of beef from diseased cattle before 1989, when regulations were adopted for the disposal of potentially infectious cattle offal, including brains, and the use of sheep entrails as feed ceased.*
On November 10, 1997, Professor John Pattison, Chairman of the British Government's Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Board announced on BBC TV's Panorama program; that the National Blood Supply could be contaminated with a "New" human strain of mad cow disease. "It's still impossible to say with any accuracy but there could be quite significant numbers of people incubating new variant CJD, raising the possibility that these people could be donating infected blood to the national stocks," he said.
At the present time, the only proven manner for contracting CJD from an infected person has been through iatrogenic transmission, an unintended consequence of a medical procedure using tainted human matter or surgical instruments. Iatrogenic transmission of CJD has occurred in cases involving corneal transplants, implantation of electrodes in the brain, dura matter grafts, contaminated surgical instruments and the injection of natural human growth hormone derived from cadaveric pituitaries. Thus, one may become infected with CJD from direct contamination with infected neural tissue.*
There are new, strict guidelines for the handling of suspected BSE, CJD and Kuru infected tissues. Once a brain biopsy is completed, surgical instruments, scalpels and the like, are disposed of because sterilization will not kill the Prions, or proteins. This raises the question of how many times before the new guidelines were instituted, were contaminated surgical instruments used from patient to patient? Prions can not be killed, because they are not living beings. Heat sterilization does reduce the infectivity by several orders of magnitude, but the reduction is NOT total.
BSE & CJD have the potential to become Doomsday Diseases, they are very hard to detect and there is no cure or treatment. Neither is it known how many different places it could pop up: blood supplies, food supplies etc.
How did this happen & where did it come from?
The main suspicion traces the un-natural practice of feeding vegetarian animals "Rendered" food made of contaminated animals who are found dead. Rendered foods come from "Rendering plants" like the Avon plant in Geraldine, Alabama. There are hundreds of these plants throughout the United States and the world. The problem is the feeding of infectious material, but not only to vegetarian animals. This practice was also lethal for several wild cats in British zoos, and the mink populations in the United States.
What goes on at a rendering plant?
Rendering plants act as an animal disposal unit for dead livestock. Instead of burning and disposing of dead animals, they are converted to animal feeds. I visited the Avon plant in 1993 and witnessed this process, where nothing is wasted. Area farmers and ranchers are invited to drop off any dead farm animal. The animals are crushed up in large mulchers and poured into enormous high pressure vats where they are cooked into multi-animal stew. The stew is further processed until it is packaged and sold to area farmers as livestock feed. I've witnessed pigs, goats, cows and horses brought to rendering plants. The animals were in various conditions. Some had been dead for over 24 hours, yet were still rendered into livestock feed. None of these animals are checked for disease or illness before they enter the food chain. Shockingly, many cows that been found "mutilated", ( missing various glands, tissue and organs) were brought to these rendering factories and processed into food for their still living relatives. I was shocked, but unlike Great Britain which has had protections against such practices since 1989, there are no such guidelines here in the United States.
What is the prospect for Mad Cow Disease to appear in the United States?
That is THE question several of us are asking, what does our government know and what aren't they telling us? The first case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease appeared in the 1890's, was finally identified in 1920 and first considered contagious during the identification and study of Kuru in the 1950's though it was, at that time, thought to be fully contained. However the identification of contaminated surgical instruments as a transport mechanism raises a bigger question...how many surgeries used contaminated scalpels?
The incubation period for BSE and CJD can range from six months to beyond 40 years. However, the incubation time can be very much longer. That means that if you ingested contaminated meat prior to becoming a vegetarian, you can still get sick many years down the road.
This isn't the first time animal parts introduced into the food chain, caused illness and death. Thyrotoxicosis (New England Journal of Medicine, Hedburg CW, Fishbein DB et all 316: 993-8, 1987) occurred when bovine thyroid glands were combined with hamburger meat and distributed throughout many communities. This caused over 100,000 people to get sick. Finally the Center for Disease Control (CDC) investigated and concluded that large doses of bovine thyroid hormone in hamburger meat, was the culprit. Here's what happened. For years the US Government bought every bovine thyroid gland it could get it's hands on for research. As a result, every meat packing plant in America was removing the thyroids and selling them to Uncle Sam for top dollar. Then all of the sudden, our government stopped buying them. Meat packing plants and butchers starting grinding up the glands and mixing them with our hamburger. That practice has, for the most part, been stopped thanks to the CDC.
The U.S. Army, The National Institute of Health (NIH) & Rocky Mountain Labs.
Quietly and secretly, The United States Army and the Center For Disease Control have worked together, off & on, for years. A perfect example of this clandestine cooperation was the outbreak and containment of Ebola Reston. You can learn more about this in an excellent book "The Hot Zone". The Army & The CDC entered the Reston monkey houses, took care of business and were gone before anybody knew what happened. They showed up in civilian clothes, and un-marked vans. All of this was done right under the noses of television camera crews who were looking around, but never saw them because the Army & CDC hid their vehicles behind buildings! Currently another organization, The National Institute of Health (NIH) has been tasked with tracking and studying something even more frightening: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathies and other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). Much of the research has been conducted at Rocky Mountain Labs. Originally it was thought that a foreign power might be trying to contaminate the American food supply. Instead they discovered a new variation of TSEs. But TSEs are no new biological evolution, in fact they are much older than the primates.
The funding for this research is hidden in the NIH's black budget for the study of AIDS. Neither AIDS or BSE are viruses, rather they are the consequences of immune systems that have been thwarted. The research has been kept quiet to prevent an outbreak of panic. But the cats out of the bag, all of us are in the same boat. Every American who's ever eaten meet has potentially been exposed to our new, common threat: Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies.
Over the last ten years, law enforcement in dozens of States have been trying to track and identify unmarked helicopters sighted where area livestock have been discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. The helicopters are seen before and after these cows are found in pastures, missing certain organs. The same things are always taken. Bovine jaws are stripped to the bone, reproductive organs removed, entire tongues, digestive tracks and rectums are "cored" out. There is little to no blood at the scene. Many tissue samples taken by police investigators and analyzed at veterinary labs, show signs of exposure to heat, three hundred degrees or more. The tissue is cooked and the incisions are cauterized by the heat. This prevents blood and other fluids from leeching onto the ground. Everything taken has to do with input, output and reproduction. In recent mutilation cases, Alabama 1993 & 1994, California 1996 and Florida 1997; pharmaceuticals have been found in bovine blood. They are: Barbiturates, Anti-coagulants, Synthetic Amphetamines, Aluminum-Titanium-Oxygen-Silicon flakes, and Antimony (Antimony: A brittle lustrous white metallic element occurring in nature, free or combined, used chiefly in alloys and in compounds in medicine. Webster's). According to recent police reports, some investigating officers have claimed that the concentrations of drugs found are not of veterinary nature, that the are pharmaceutical concentrations found would be more associated with humans. Among those law enforcement agents who have thoroughly investigated these bovine excision sites, there is a consensus that some kind of medical testing going on. The additional presence of helicopters on scene, before and after cattle are found dead missing specific organs, leads both victimized farmers and investigating officers to conclude that there is a connection. But why use human drugs on cows? Use your imagination.
Every organ taken from affected livestock has to do with input, output and reproduction. Where entire jaws have been excised in large, oval excisions, the bone is exposed and is perfectly clean. The wounds have been cauterized and there is no presence of blood. The jaw is an important area, particularly because enzymes produced in human saliva glands can kill viruses and bacteria. Though it's not the case in animals, we wonder why similar things are taken? The digestive track also acts as a filter, that absorbs, collects and stores traces of any chemical or toxin introduced. The rectum is a similar filter, as are ears. They store traces of toxins and chemicals like a library. This is true in humans and animals. So far there are no known cases of inherited BSE, but the reproductive system may be a good place to find look for clues on how TSEs pass to the next generation.
In 1993, I got a call from a man who told me that if I went to a certain place on a certain evening, I would see several helicopters land and refuel. He was right. Well after dark, two Chinook helicopters (The large twin rotor type) landed in the field behind some trees and carrying black plastic fuel bladders. Minutes later several smaller scout helicopters landed nearby, shut down and crews from the Chinooks walked over with large hoses and refueled each of a half dozen helicopters. The whole operation took less than 30 minutes and the Chinook helicopters took off and headed across the border where we tracked them to their home base, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Now we knew who they were but we couldn't figure out why they refueled on Sand Mountain. The next morning a reporter, Steven Smith from the Rainsville Weekly Post, called the Public Affairs Officer, Captain William Gibbons of the 101st Airborne and asked if they might've been in our area the previous evening. "We have no aircraft in your area, it wasn't us" said the captain. It certainly was. So we knew then that some kind of secret operation was being conducted, but we didn't know what it was. We still don't, but when you look at each piece of evidence and try to use them as puzzle pieces, these so called "cattle mutilations" might be associated with government studies of epidemiology. With BSE & CJD and many other diseases being so devastating, is it possible than many alleged cases of "cattle mutilations" are actually evidence of our tax dollars at work?
The Evidence Suppression Team from Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama; & The F.A.A. Investigation of un-marked helicopters over Sand Mountain.
The 101st Airborne Division is not suspected of being directly involved in the cattle mutilations that occurred between Oct. 1992 through May of 1993. But is seems possible they may have refueled the other witnessed un-marked helicopters that we eventually traced to Maxwell Air Force Base. The 101st's inability to tell the truth about where they had been, seems to be a constant in Federal Government employee behavior: You don't tell the truth unless somebody holds a gun to your head.
When un-marked helicopters were witnessed by local farmers and law enforcement officers, Albertville Police's Chief of Detectives Tommy Cole called in the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate. Detective Cole had lost a cow to the phantom surgeons and his wife had seen an un-marked helicopter over their pasture January 8th, 1993; the day before they discovered one of their Black Angus steers mutilated. An FAA investigator came to Albertville and Cole took him for a ride in his police car. The FAA investigator was skeptical until an un-marked helicopter flew near them. The FAA investigator couldn't believe his own eyes and pulled out a hand held radio and hailed the helicopter. The helicopter pilot didn't respond and ignored demands that he identify himself. This infuriated the FAA investigator who had now reversed his skepticism. He was able to trace the helicopter to Maxwell Air Force Base in Southern Alabama. When he launched an inquiry at the base, he was immediately told to drop it and never talk about again. A week later Chief Detective Cole received a call after midnight, it was the FAA investigator. It seems that while out in a boat on nearby Lake Guntersville, he and his family had witnessed a large triangle shaped craft flying maneuvers above them. I wonder if he ever reported that to his superiors?
There's something very wrong at the Barton Ranch in Red Bluff, California.
Bill & Jean Barton have been cattle ranchers all their lives. Jean's family has owned the same 1,600 acre cattle ranch in Northern California for over a hundred years. They have always been cattle ranchers, they have lived simple, normal lives most of that time. Then, something terrible happened on Oct. 16, 1995. Something that would change their lives forever. of their cows were found dead on their land near Eagle Lake. It was found missing teats from the udder, it's jaw had been stripped and an ear was missing. Then it happened again, and again and again. By the time the first year had passed, the Barton's had lost four head of livestock. Then, exactly one year from the first grizzly discovery, it happened again. On Oct. 16, 1996 a cow was found missing it's entire udder, it's rectum had been cut out and it's jaw was also missing.
The Barton's had never seen anything like this before, not in a lifetime of raising cattle. But the nightmare wasn't, isn't over. By the end 1996, the Barton's had lost seven more head under the exact same circumstances. This brought the head-count to eleven. In March 2, 1997 I received a call from Jean Barton asking me to come investigate suspicious cattle death number 14. When I and another Investigator, Stan Musselman, arrived at the ranch, Jean took us to the crime scene. This cow had been dead for three days, It was in a state of typical decomposition. That's the problem when you own such a large ranch, you can't police it. It might be two days before you discover something wrong. It turned into a recipe for certain disaster, and the circumstances and logistics, ensured the Barton's continual victimization.
There was blow fly larvae under the cows left front shoulder. There was the attendant smell of rotting flesh. I had learned early on, to stand up-wind of bovine carcasses. I learned that important lesson fast, when I first examined similar cases in Alabama in 1992 & 1993. If you don't stand up-wind, you'll get sick quick. This cow looked identical to what I'd witnessed, over and over, thirty five times before on Alabama ranches. Under the right front shoulder, there was an eight inch diameter circle of flesh and udder missing. The udder was missing. Their was an enormous gaping hole where the rectum and vagina had been. It measured over ten inches across. Where the udder had once been, there was an even larger incision which lead halfway down the right rear leg. The leg muscle had been removed all the way to the bone. Then I saw something I'd seen once before.
Along the edges of the incision I could see a swirling, stepped and notched cut made by something similar to pinking shears. Again there was no blood on the incisions where hide, muscle and organs had been extricated. Deja-Vu, I might as well have been back in Alabama. The same damn thing, over and over and over again. "What the hell is going on?" Stanley and I asked each other. The animal was "too far gone" to order an autopsy, or If we had known sooner, within hours of the animal's death, we could have learned more. What else had been "done" to this poor animal? The Barton's used to make a simple, honest living. Now, with the substantial economic loss they've sustained, they aren't even allowed that "luxury". These ranchers cannot afford this, it's killing their cattle, their business and most importantly, them. Surely they deserve better, but who will help them end their agony? Who will answer the question of what's happening to their cows? They deserve an answer, just like the ranchers who have found themselves in a similar predicament, over the last 34 years. What makes the Barton cases so unusual, is their sheer number. I have never heard of anyone being victimized 15 times in two years. There's something very wrong at the Barton Ranch, but what? There's a number of reason's why it's safe for me to make the following statement..."If you've had fifteen mutilations on your ranch, in two years, you've got a problem".
What might that reason be? Are devil worshippers performing surgery on your animals in time for their monthly celebrations? Or are aliens visiting you for snack food? Is this the work of coyotes? Or is it your tax dollars are work? If it isn't the devil worshippers, and if it isn't the aliens, and the coyotes have an alibi , what does that leave us with? I'm a student of Arthur Conan Doyle, and his alter-ego Sherlock Holmes. I must conclude, as they did, that after you have ruled everything else out, what you are left with MUST be the answer. My personal choice has to be "Your tax dollars at work". But why are they at work on the Barton Ranch? What's the attraction? By August of 1997, The Barton's ranch had fallen prey to the same phantom surgeons for the fifteenth time. Fifteen mutilations on the same ranch? Why? There's something very wrong at the Barton ranch, but what?
In the United States, something strange is happening at the Mexican Border.
All of the sudden truck-loads of un-healthy looking cows are being shipped into America. Forty-thousand a month. Where are they coming from?, is Mexico producing nearly a half million cattle a year for export? Or are they coming from somewhere else? Nobody seems to know, but it makes me nervous.
I don't pretend to know the solution to either the bovine excision cases nor the appearance of the mystery helicopters. I don't know where the "Mexican" cattle are really coming from. I don't know that America faces a threat from BSE, but I do feel that these questions deserve our attention. President Ronald Reagan once hypothesized: "What if one day we all found that we faced a common threat from outer space, wouldn't we all put aside our differences and work together?". President Reagan wasn't so far off, today we DO face a common threat, soon we'll realize that we all have something in common: possible exposure to Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and a host of other disease like we've never seen before.

Mad Cow Mutilations, Part Two
Copyright ©1997, Ted Oliphant III
In my fist article "Mad Cow Mutilations" I discussed the link between reported un-marked helicopters and the discovery of dead cows missing certain organs, muscles and tissues. In the first three days after first posting that article, I received 26 email inquiries requesting information on how I made the connection between Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and these so called "cattle mutilations".
In response I will now explain how the information came to me and how I connected it with the law enforcement investigations I carried out as a police officer in North East Alabama, in 1992 and 1993.
For the last seven years I have had a very good source of information, his name is Phil. Strangely, he's been able to tell me what would happen next, who was in trouble and he shared prolific insights into the situations I'd placed myself. It's a combination of his personal track-record and the recent information he's given me, that initiated my conclusions stated in the previous article. It was Phil's idea that I research Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and their connection to the investigations I carried out as a police officer in 1992 & 1993.
When I checked out his statements, I found they fit in with several left over puzzle pieces from the official investigations carried out by myself, The Alabama State Troopers and The Albertville Police Department. Additionally, a second witness was able to prove his direct involvement with the covert refueling of helicopters on Sand Mountain in 1993. It was that information coupled with Phil's identical information that allowed our investigative team to track some of the mystery helicopters back to Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.
I should state for the record that there is no proof the Air Force was involved, other than the fact that they allowed the helicopters to operate out of Maxwell. There is no indication that the Air Force knew what the helicopters were doing. There is no evidence to the contrary, either. I have to say the same about the Chinook helicopters from the 101st Airborne, though they did refuel the helicopters and later lied about, there's no proof they knew who they were refueling, or why. And again, there's no evidence to the contrary. I won't go into more detail because I have to protect the identity of the second witness. I also have to protect the identity of Phil, because he told me recently that if his full name was used, he'd deny ever knowing me. That was coming from a friend, he told me to expect "a lot of heat" over my articles. We'll see what happens, now on with facts, just the facts.
Peripheral Circulatory Shutdown of ailing livestock and their identification by means of Thermographic Infra-red Scanning.
In 1993, Phil told me that some of the helicopters we were seeing, were equipped with thermographic Infra-red scanners. These scanners allow pilots to see in the dark and fog. Every living or moving thing produces a heat signature, whether it's the exhaust from an automobile or a farmer hiding in the woods with a high powered rifle, they can bee seen easily via infra-red scanners. I know the technology exists because when I was in the Air Force, the B-52 bombers where I was stationed, had similar units called FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-red) in pods that extended from below the fuselage. It allowed our pilots to fly in bad weather and at night. Here's how and why this technology is used in the bovine excisions cases. Again the information comes from Phil, the conclusions are mine.
When a cow is in trouble, sick or dying, the first thing it experiences is peripheral circulatory shutdown. The peripheral, or outside circulation begins to shut down, this causes an immediate temperature reduction of the affected animals outside skin, or hide. When a helicopter flies low and slow over area pastures and has the infra-red scanner operating, it will notice a cow with a lower thermographic reading than the others in the herd. Find the cold cow, and you've identified a cow in trouble.
Somebody wants to know why that cow is in trouble. Since the cow will probably die anyway, it's a good choice for sample extraction. It's also a good way to narrow down farms that might be affected by disease. This answers the question everybody always asks me: "Why wouldn't the government just go around and buy cows at the livestock sale, it would be cheaper than using helicopters. They could raise their own cattle on their own land and nobody would know about". That was always a hard question to answer, until now.
There's no need to sample animals that don't appear to be at risk. If you are performing true epidemiology, you would go state to state and look for sick cows. You can't do that at a livestock sale, unless you marked the animals and came back and bought them after they were transported to the sales-lot. Even then, you'd have no assurance the cow you'd marked would be offered up for sale. Furthermore, time is of the essence, an ailing cow might not ever make it to the sale. True epidemiology requires scanning as many cows as you could, in as many different areas. You'd have to do this over the entire continental U.S. to make accurate studies and samplings.
The vast majority of the cows (female o.k.?) that I found missing organs and tissues, had calved (given birth) within 2-3 weeks before being found dead. That's significant when we remember that BSE and CJD can also be hereditary diseases. In a couple of cases we investigated, the animal's blood had been thoroughly drained (exsanguinated) and there was no blood on the animals or on the ground. Early on in the scientific study of CJD & BSE, it was determined that body fluids were highly volatile and the scientists would drain the blood entirely after sedating the animal. A curare like drug immediately immobilized the animals and the animal would die of blood loss. This may explain why no veterinarian or laboratory was ever able to tell farmers or police, the animal's cause of death. That was always a big mystery.
Now I believe some of the animals I examined, actually died of shock from blood loss. A curare-like drug is necessary to immediately incapacitate the animal, this prevents any struggle so the work can be carried out quickly. You don't want to stick around a long time and get caught by an irate farmer with a high powered rifle, that's why helicopters are the perfect vehicle to get in and out, fast. Because these cows identified through lower temperature signatures will probably die soon anyway, it's less of a moral issue for the teams performing the samplings.
Phil tells me that there are three different groups studying Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies. There is the public group, associated with Nobel Prize winner Stanley Prusiner. The second group is private and headed by a man who's name I will hold onto for the moment. The third is the government group, funded by a black budget. The groups don't share information, so each is trying to figure out what the other is doing.
By the 1960's, 112 different strains of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies had been identified. I don't have an information on how many have been identified today. I don't know if the strains identified here in the U.S. are more, or less dangerous than those still threatening Great Britain.
I don't pretend to explain every bovine excision case that's occurred across the country, I can only speak to those cases where I was directly involved in on-site investigations, working as a police officer.
In 90% of the cases we investigated, helicopters were reported seen over the affected pastures the day before or after suspicious livestock deaths occurred. Because of the foreign substances found at the scene and in the bloodstream's of the animals, we (farmers and cops alike) suspected at that time their was some kind of medical testing being performed. With the new information I've been handed recently, described in this and my previous article, I am even more convinced that we were on the right track. That is the covert surveillance and study of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies across America. Now that's this information has been put into the public's hands, the debate can begin.

Hummmm.. where are Mulder and Scully when you need them?
