Maybe it's the poisoned seeds to control pesty birds or whatever they say, but thought maybe somebody might have thoughts on it.
Did anyone ever get test results showing for certain what killed all these birds?
Sorry, I can't get the youtube video embedding to work and I'll go figure out what I'm doing wrong later. Here's the link for now.

The US Government has many classified projects of which "Bird Flu" is one of them. The Center for Diseas Control (CDC) is a government agency that is working with DHS (and other agencies too) to explore how the government needs to react to the coming Pandemic but also how to protect citizens and prevent the spread of the virus when it hits.
There will continue to be a lot of paranoid people who believe that somehow the US Government is out to "spread the disease" for some mysterious reason.

1) Yes "bird flu" is in this country. Why? Its being studied so that authorities can actually find both vaccinations and/or treatments when it someday hits. That shouldn't be a shocker to anyone. You cannot do that sort of science without having the virus present in labs around the country.

2) Yes "this is classified work" for all the reasons it should be. Terrorists, villians, and any number of people who hate this country (including some people who live in it) would like to have access to this so they can have power. This work is classified. No surprise there.

3) "Mary" states that "a Spanish man" who "works for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)" is transporting something that is classified. Whether or not DHS is involved is a real question - they might be given the nature of this, and most likely are. No surprise there either, since DHS is made of up many Federal Agencies that have the responsibility to protect US citizens from disease and natural disaster.

4) "Mary" says the man is an employee of DHS - well, if that is the case HE IS A GOVERNMENT employee - later she says he is working with a "Federal Agent". The driver is clearly NOT a Federal employee. If anything, the man is probably a hired truck driver for a US based, private sector company that is a government contractor. It would be natural for a Federal Agent to work with the contractors in any sort of operation. Nothing new.

5) The "truck driver" could be any sort of person making up such a story, or simply a paranoid (or confused) foreign national recently immigrated to the US. If he really has facts, why is he telling this to some lady (Mary) who has no impact or influence other than to call in to a talk show? Sounds fishy... Since Mary doesn't actually have all of the facts it might be that the truck driver is actually making up a story to protect the real story which is the transportaion of illegial drugs from Mexico through the US.

6) Yes the government is actually storing away known flu medicine even if they know it doesn't exactly work. The idea is to produce as much possible as an attempt to have it on hand for "Bird Flu" but for a lot of other national threats as well.

7) Storing things in underground facilities or "silos" is nothing new. Most of the nuclear launch silos have been converted to storage facilities for the government. That's actually saving taxpayer dollars instead of building new buildings. Its not odd that some things would be stored secure in underground silos.
