On February 14th, 1994, in the country of Riverside, California, there was one of the most perplexing medical mysteries of all time. 31 year old Gloria Ramirez was dying of cervical cancer, and experiencing heartbeat and breathing problems, called an ambulance. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she had passed out, and the attending doctor, Dr. Julie Gorchynski, attempted to stabilize her heart with defibrillators. According to several eyewitnesses, Ramirez became covered in an oily substances when defibrillated, and a “garlicy” smell emitted from her mouth. A short time later, a nurse by the name of Susan Kane drew blood from Ramirez, and noted a “foul odor” before passing out cold. Gorchynski, noticing an ammonia like smell, picked up the syringe, to find that the blood contained strange “straw colored crystals” in it. Upon smelling the syringe, Gorchynski became dizzy, before passing out and going into convulsions. Four other hospital staff workers were also affected: Maureen Welsh, a respiratory therapist who used the ambu bag on Ramirez, passed out, Dr. Mark Thomas, who was the attending physician in the ER, experienced dizziness and muscle spasms before passing out, Sally Balderas, the nurse who moved Ramirez’s body into the holding area, became violently ill, and Debbie Carrier, a medical clerk working in the ER. According to a Los Angeles Times article, 32 staff members were affected, though names are not given.

Some of the staff had serious problems after this incident. Maureen Welch and Susan Balderas were ill for some time later, but recovered, by Dr. Gorchynski suffered the worst. Two days after the incident she, like Welch and Balderas, began to have severe muscle spasms. However, she had to be placed on a ventilator because the spasms were affecting her ability to breath. She developed an elevated liver, pancreatitis, hepatitis, and avascular necrosis in her legs. To this day, she has to stay in a wheel chair.

Many theories have been put forward for the strange happenings that day: mass hysteria, the existence of a secret meth lab in the hospital, with the drugs beings smuggled out through the IV bags which inadvertently became mixed up with those for Gloria Ramirez, and the even more far-fetched theory that the defibrillation caused the DMSO2 (dimethyl sulfone, sometimes used by cancer patients as a pain medicine) in Ramirez’s blood to transform into DMSO4, a poisonous gas. However, scientific tests have failed to produce an evidence for this theory.

One possible explanation for the story is far more frightening than the ones above.

The incident occurred in Riverside County, in Southern California, with lays just east of Los Angeles. It is also home to the Cabazon Indian Reservation.

In the same above mentioned SPY Magazine article, 18 year terrorism expert and CIA analyst, William Corbett, stated

"For years, Wackenhut has been involved with the CIA and other intelligence organizations, including the Drug Enforcement Agency. Wackenhut would allow the CIA to occupy positions within the company [in order to carry out] clandistine operations."
He went on to say Wackenhut provided the intelligence agencies with information and was paid in return "in a quid pro quo arrangement". This would explain in part the huge number of contracts awarded to Wackenhut in delicate areas of the national security, such as embassies and nuclear plants, and the $150 million increase in work under the Reagan Administration.

Wackenhut was also involved in illegal US operations in Central America in the 1980s. By exploiting the Cabazon Indian reservation as a sovereign nation, they intended to produce and export explosives to the Contras, evading Congressional law to the contrary.[7][8]


The book by Carol Marshall, The Last Circle (which is a continuation of Danny Casolaro’s research into the Octopus), reveals more on the nature of the Wackenhut operation at Cazabon:

www.lycaeum.org...!.htm


On the surface, Wackenhut Corporation seemed innocous enough, but through documents later obtained from Michael Riconosciuto, I learned there was another, darker side to Wackenhut operations, at the Cabazon Indian reservation near Indio, California.
Because Indian reservations are sovereign nations and do not come under federal jurisdiction, Wackenhut International had formed a partnership and entered into a business venture with the Cabazon Indians to produce hightech arms and explosives for export to thirdworld countries. This maneuver was designed to evade congressional prohibitions against U.S. weapons being shipped to the Contras and middle eastern countries.
In the early 1980's, Dr. John Nichols, the Cabazon tribal administrator, obtained a department of Defense secret facility clearance for the reservation to conduct various research projects. Nichols then approached Wackenhut with an elaborate "joint venture" proposal to manufacture 120mm combustible cartridge cases, 9mm machine pistols, lasersighted assault weapons, sniper rifles and portable rocket systems on the Cabazon reservation and in Latin America. At one point, he even sought to develop biological weapons.


Marshall and Casolaro’s source, Michaerl Riconsciuto, who worked as a scientist at this location, also stated that he worked on the stolen PROMIS computer software at this location, as well as drug manufacturing for the CIA. He also told that Wackenhut was doing “horrible things” at Cazabon, while a former executive vice president of Wackenhut, Robert Chasen, stated that the company was “running amuck”.

Risconsciuto’s notes also indicate the nature of some of the research being conducted:


The hybridoma technology discussed in attached documents (in Michael Riconosciuto's files), centered around the ability to reorganize and synthesize genetic structures and to modify "lymphocytes" (immune cells).

Under the heading "Possible Military Applications Utilizing Hybridoma Technology" was the notation that "genesplicing technology provides the ability to produce pathogenic (harmful) agents, i.e. viruses.

Elsewhere Carol Marshall writes:


Michael continued ... "You look at Cytotoxic TLymphocytes. You go ask any medical professional what they're doing on the leading edge of research there? What the full implications to humanity are, OK?"

I wanted clarification from Michael, so I answered, "It looks to me like research on a cure for cancer."

Michael took the bait. "Go ask a professional. I'd rather have you hear it from a collateral source other than from me."

"Well, give me some indication ..."

Michael responded hesitantly, "It would have been Hitler's wet dream. It's selective to such a degree that it's awesome. With the appropriate genetic material, you can wipe out whole segments of humanity. There's no stopping it."


Indeed, Cytotoxic TLmyphocytes could be used for potential cancer cures. A subset of the T lymphocytes (type of white blood cells), these “Killer T-Cells” are capable of killing tumor cells, as well as cells that infected with viruses. But as mentioned above, the research was trying to find a way to restructure lymphocytes into, presumably, viral weaponry.

Overseeing this whole joint Wackenhut/Cazabon operation was Robert Booth Nichols, an international arms dealer with ties to the Italian-American Mafia and Japanese Yakuza. According to the “CIA Front Company” research thread here at ATS, he is also the COO of AeroTurbine, Inc, a Florida-based airplane company that is actually a CIA front company. He is also on the board of directors of the First Intercontinental Development Corporation, or FIDCO, which I mention at length in my JFK thread. The list of board of directors indicates that the group was peripheral, if not directly involved, in the assassination. Furthermore, Nichols got involved in the Golden Triangle heroin ring along with Ted Shackley and his “Secret Team”, who I believe executed the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

According to “The Last Circle”:


"FIDCO was an NSC [National Security Council] corporate cutout. FIDCO was created to be the corporate vehicle to secure the financing for the reconstruction of the cities of Beirut and Damour in Lebanon. And they were working out of an office in Nicosia, Cyprus.

" ... And here I got involved with a group of people that were all high profile and should have been above reproach. FIDCO had a companion company called Euramae Trading which operated througout the Middle East. I came in contact with the PROMISE software (unintelligible). Euramae had a distribution contract with several Arab countries and I was asked to evaluate the hardware platforms they had chosen. That was IBM/AS400 stuff ...

" ... That had come from IBM Tel Aviv but it came through a cutout, Link Systems, because they couldn't deal directly with the Arabs.

"And I came across a guy named Michael T. Hurley and I thought he worked for the State Department but it turned out he was incountry attache for the DEA in Nicosia, Cyprus. [Nicosia is the capital of the island of Cyprus, off the coast of Lebanon]. Now, the DEA had no real presence in Lebanon. Neither did anybody else, including the Israelis. They had their usual network of contacts but it was very ineffective. The only way to penetrate that situation, was to get into the drug trade.

The fact that FIDCO was a cutout for the National Security Council is most interesting. Frank Carlucci, a CFR member and former CIA director, worked with George Bush and Oliver North during Iran-Contra to devise the populace-detainment exercise “Rex84”, which was promoted through the NSC. These groups of people also gave birth to FEMA, funded through this drug-spun slush fund. And Frank Carlucci was a member of the Carlyle Group and… Wackenhut! Perhaps this connection to a populace detainment plan is worth considering, when one looks at this info from sourcewatch.com:


Progressives at the turn of the last century were able to stamp out the trend of private prisons, however the Reagan Revolution and the rise of crime in the 1980's reversed those accomplishments of old labor and allowed the prison market to develop. Once a State-responsibility, prisons now rely on criminals for profit and labor

Wackenhut rose quickly to the challenge, entering the prison business in 1987 and turning pofits of $630.3 million annually by 1992. [11] By 1997, they controlled one third of the prison market contracts, were paying out minimal wages, and providing cheap labor for other corporations such as IBM and Microsoft. Industry experts state a 90-95% capacity rate is necessary to attract investors, ensuring a vested interest in a growing prison population for the future.

They have become notorious for cutting programs out of prisons to increase their profits. Programs include drug rehabilitation, counseling and educational services. They were investigated in 1995 for diverting $700,000 in drug rehabilitation funds from facilities in Texas. [12]

Wackenhut guards have repeatedly been accused of raping inmates in Texas, Arkansas and Florida jails.[13][14][15] They have been sued for their treatment of inmates at juvenile facilities in the south, including the horrid beating of a seventeen-year-old wearing a colostomy bag. [16]

In Australia, all detention centers were owned and operated by the subsidiary, Australasian Correctional Management.

By the end of 2000, Wackenhut had received contracts spanning the US, UK, South Africa, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Canada with a total of over 40,000 beds [17]


And also:


Wackenhut is a joint venture partner along with MPRI, Kellogg Brown and Root and AGS in the civilian police training company Civilian Police International, LLC which is under a State Department contract for $1.6 billion to work with the Civilian Police and Rule of Law office in coordination with the United Nations training emerging police forces around the world. [18]


In Belgium, Wackenhut also worked with Operation Gladio to run training camps for the fascist “stay behind” armies. Involved in this were Wackenhut employees Jean Francis Calmette, a Neo-Nazi, OAS terrorist, and was apparently involved the De Gaulle assassination attempt (keep in mind that Permindex was implicated in this attempt, thus making a link between this and the JFK assassination), Marcel Barbier, who was affiliated with NATO, and founded the Neo-Nazi organization Westland New Post (co-founded by a Nazi named Paul Latinus, who worked for the DIA and NATO. The WNP also continued Calmette in its ranks) and Eric Lammers (convicted of a double homicide in Belgium, as well as possession of child pornography, also affiliated with the WNP. I’ll post some info on them when I get some). There are obviously huge ties between Wackenhut, this WNP, and the Nazi/Neo-Nazi movement.

At the center of all this is an intricate group of intelligence agents, criminals, businessmen, politicians, and other underworld denizens. We can trace this group through many of the pivotal events the post-WWII years:

Great research, just wanted to comment because it's involved stuff and probably allot of people don't know what to say... But it looks you have things pinpointed very nicely...

absorbed and being sorted out in my head.

TY, Good Work

Thanks for the reply!

Here's a little info on the WNP (Westland New Post). This isn't related directly to weapons for biological warfare, but its an interesting little side note.

The Westland New Post is a Belgian Neo-Nazi group founded in 1981 by Paul Latinus and members of a private militia, the Front de la Jeunesse.


Marcel Barbier, a WNP member, was convicted in May 1987 for a gruesome double murder in the la rue de la Pastorale in Anderlecht on February 18, 1982. One of the victims, Mr. Alphonse Vandermeulen, had been married to Barbier's current girlfriend, Mme. Marcelle Gobert. The police would interrogate both Barbier and his girlfriend, and searched both their homes, but no arrests were made. The police investigation into the murders was without success until August 16, 1983, when a violent incident occurred at Barbier's home in Sint-Gillis. Barbier will be arrested, and when the police searched his home they would find confidential NATO material, various weapons and neo-Nazi material. It also turned out that Barbier was a former member of the Front de la Jeunesse, and was currently a member of neo-Nazi organization named Chevalerie teutonique. Barbier was convicted and jailed for this violent incident, but the investigation into the Pastorale murders continued.

During the interrogation of Barbier, the police found out about Westland New Post, although it was later revealed this organization was already known to the Belgian State Security Service, with an agent (albeit on his own initiative) already infiltrating the organization at the end of 1981, but the intelligence service did not communicate what it knew to the police or judiciary services. The police then investigated the WNP members to find out whether it was a private militia. Paul Latinus told the police that Barbier and another WNP member were behind the murders. Latinus had helped Barbier getting rid of the murder weapon and other relevant evidence. Barbier would be the only person convicted for this murder, although other WNP members were suspect.


en.wikipedia.org...

The connection between the WNP and NATO is excellent evidence of a relationship to Operation Gladio.


The characters that form the abbreviation of Westland New Post, "W.N.P.", each are the next character in the alphabet to "V", "M", and "O", that form the abbreviation of the Vlaamse Militanten Orde, another Belgian far right group, that was on trial (and was later outlawed) as a private militia at the time when the Westland New Post was established.

Excellent research, but there are a few glaring issues.

1. Why was only one person targeted/affected? If she was randomly chosen as some sort of involuntary test subject, fine. But if it was some sort of unintentional outbreak, one would think there would be more than one initial host.

2. If you're not from Southern California, you probably don't know the LA/Riverside area is HUGE. Riverside county alone is roughly 7000sq mi. So how close was Ms. Ramirez living to the Indian reservation?

I agree that there is a distinct possibility that the two incidents are not related at all. I have seen that Riverside is a huge county, so I've been trying to do some research to see the proximity of Ramirez to Cazabon.

The hospital is located at 26520 Cactus Avenue (I think this is the same hospital that Ramirez was brought to, however, I could be wrong), in the city of Riverside. The Cazabon Indian Reservation is located in the city of Indio California, at 84245 Indio Springs Drive. Using www.google.com/maps, we see that its a drive of an hour and six minutes. This is pretty close considering the size of Riverside County, however, its far enough to make the connection tedious. I really do hope that the incident is not related to whatever Wackenhut is doing at Cazabon, but even if you strip away Gloria Ramirez from the story, you still have the pressing issue of a virus that can pretty much function specific to race being developed outside the boundaries of Congressional oversight.

Not to overstate the obvious, but do we really want something like this developed even with congressional oversight??????


That we can even imagine something as horrible as this gives me cold chills.

And I wouldn't have commented at all, except that I know full well that:

1.) this sort of thing is possible and probable
2.) there are nutjobs in high places that are drooling over the possibilities.

No, I agree, something like this should never be created. I was just emphasizing how compartmentalized this whole thing is. I never put stock in the whole "FEMA Concentration Camp" scenario, but when you see that the same group of nutjobs create FEMA, start building prisons, and make viruses, one can only wonder.

The original location of the hospital she was taken to is was located on the corner of Magnolia and Harrison, city of Riverside, CA. The hospital was closed and the location on Cactus is in the city of Moreno Valley, about 20 miles closer to Indio by freeway.
I was attending a nearby high school when this happened. The incident cause a big scare in the town but surprisingly nothing else was ever really mentioned about it.

The Morongo Indian Res is in cabazon. Is this the res you are talking about????

back in the day ( before the casino ) my bro in law used to sit in his car at dawn on the way up to idlewild and watch planes come in low to make drops on the res.

I use to get some clients on the res and I had seen a white biker dude on his bike, which looked like he was escorting a large panel truck on to the res........................It really looked strange but could have been nothing..... you should see the security there now that the casino is there

Google map cabazon and the city of riverside............about 50 miles apart....indio even more

That's a frightening ordeal! And to think I lived in Corona, right next door to Riverside in '94! Excellent research, I'm surprised I've never heard anything about this on the boards or websites or anything like that.

Very interesting.

Wackenhut also handles the security for many of the nuclear plants. They are ex-CIA spooks.

Danny Casalero was found dead in his bathtub with his fingernails pulled out and his wrists slit, it was ruled a suicide.

The story about him was covered in a national magazine, Vanity Fair

Dave Emory covered this, but KFJC, a college broadcasting Dave at that time, was sued by a Chicago crime family (covered in Time magazine) and removed the broadcasts to stop the lawsuit. This Chicago crime family was brought in as a cover-up with a cover story they wanted to establish casinos on the indian reservation ... the story was to cover-up the bio-weapons trafficking plan.
---

Also, note that what is it now, 150 bio-war scientists have been murdered or died under mysterious circumstances since WTC/911.

OBVIOUSLY, the powers that be (Fed/City of London) are planning to launch significant bio-war attacks on the U.S. population to follow WTC/911, the current financial crises, then comes the bio war attacks.

This Thread totaly caught my attention because i live in San Bernardino County California, right here in ground zero. If there ever was a place for a terrorist attact southern california is a prime target. Whats crazy is i read somewere else (dont remember due to the amount of time lapsed) that Cabazon was doing arms deals and this totaly explains why the size of Casino Morrongo just gets bigger by the year. Now im a biochemistry major at one of the local Universities (CSUSB) and i can tell u right now from the classes i have taken that they have cures for EVERYTHING. if the price is right u can have it, cure for cancer and cure for Aids (silver tetroxide), or whatever u can think of. I can totaly believe they have a BIOWEAPON that is selective for a certian population, seems to me selectivity is a way of biology.

This world makes me sicker everyday... People that constantly seek power start wars and create these type of crap should be wiped out of existence and their whole bloodline exterminated just to make sure... they like a cancer feeding on humanity since the dawn of time... Its sad how everytime something that as potential to become great and help this world is push into becoming a tool of death and war always...

Every noticed how a thief is always worried about getting robbed, A person thats always blaming others of cheating are the ones most prone to do so and so on...

Its ironicaly poetic to me like the ancient symbol of the snake eating its own tail the way power mongers dont seem to realise that their already doomed quest for power is nothing but a faillure to realise how pitiful and pathetic they are seeking ultimate power always and at all cost yet they cannot even overcome whats at the root of this thirst for power simple insecurity... How can u control the world when u can't even control yourself...

am I alone that starts to feel as if the end of the world ain't comming fast enough???

From what I understand this has been a lot of bunk from the begining, the woman you speak of suffered from the same poison, as everyone else.
They called her the poision lady, she was using self cure for her cancer and taking PCP. There had been exterminators at the hospital at time of incident, it is quite possible they dumped some of the poision down the drain on a upper floor, all was fine until a disposal unit of some type was flushed right before all this occured. When this was flushed because of the antiquated plumbing at the hospital, it caused the trap in the sink next to the unit to drain fumes rose from sink effecting all in room, the posion lady died because she was the most exposed. This shows how stupid, these morons are that are running, this hole thing, metalic blood this is one for the X-files , where's Mulder.
