U.S. Unleashes Flesh-Eating Fly In Iraq
The British newspaper the Independent on August 2, broke the news about the
actions of the United States in unleashing a flesh-eating fly into Iraq some
eight months ago. The insect was invented and developed at the Department of
Agriculture's Stoneville, Mississippi laboratories during the Nixon
administration. It is designed to kill livestock as well as humans.
According to briefing papers compiled by the U.N. Food and Agricultural
Organization (FAO), the fly, known as the screw-worm fly, attacks wounds, scars
and cuts, the navels of newborn babies and tic bites of both warm-blooded
animals and humans, and causes foul-smelling discharges. According to a FAO
mission currently visiting Iraq, it has already spread to 12 of the 18 Iraqi
provinces since December and has already reached epidemic proportions. Forty
people are already known to have died and the toll on livestock is estimated to
be in the tens of thousands.
A screw-worm female fly lays an average of four batches of 400 eggs on the
broken skin and in just 12 hours they enter the body and hatch into flesh-eating
larvae. A whole cow can be consumed in less than seven days.
The Independent quotes George Pumphrey, a researcher into U.S. foreign
policy, including the repeated use of biological weapons against its declared
enemies, as saying that "Iraq is but the latest victim in what appears to
be a deliberate introduction of the screw-worm as a biological weapon. In Libya,
where an outbreak occurred in 1989, 2,000 animals were killed. It was
exemplarily combatted, yet by the following year it covered 35,000km and killed
12,000 head of stock."
Ali Baghdadi Au, writing in the Arab Journal points out that this is in
violation of all international accords and agreements that govern nations'
conduct at times of war and peace. Armies from 28 nations (including the U.S.,
the U.K. and France), in 42 days of the Gulf War "dropped explosives
equivalent to seven and a half Hiroshima nuclear bombs (850,000 tons to be
exact) and flew 110,000 bombing sorties," but did not achieve their
objective of taking over Iraq. "Nor did the murder of one and a half
million Iraqi civilians through starvation and lack of medication," he
writes, recalling also that U.S. Secretary of Defence Madeline Albright
dismissed such crimes on the NBC program "60 Minutes" by declaring
that it was not too high a price to pay. "It is worth it," she said.
The Arab Journal established that this illegal weapon was developed under the
Nixon administration "originally designed to proliferate and consume poppy
crops in the "golden Triangle." Developed by a pharmacologist Dr.
Jerome Jaffe, the name "screw-worm, was selected after President Nixon
remarked that the insect died after intercourse as a self-destructive mechanism
controlling its life cycle when its mission is accomplished. Nixon convinced
Congress to appropriate funds for the covert project "only after he was
able to disguise the fly as an innocent- sounding ecological weed-killer."
"Iraq, which is under the strictest and cruellest economic sanctions in
history," the Arab Journal writes, "does not have the means to
eradicate the screw-worm. The task involves breeding flies and sterilizing the
males with radioactive cobalt that Baghdad is not allowed to have. Unless the
world reacts and acts to stop this 'holocaust' now, four million more Iraqis,
mostly women, children and the elderly, may soon perish."
