Episode Details

Since Dr Maurice Fox of Rockefeller University started handing out streptomycin resistant strains of bacteria to its members in the beginning of the 1960s the Association of American Universities has been used as a cover for the most comprehensive biological weapons program on earth.

Even before that at the very beginning of WW II, the University of Wisconsin kick-started America’s biological weapons program at Fort Detrick.

All the way back in 1910 America’s most famous author Jack London wrote a short story titled The Unparalleled Invasion; it was about wiping out the Chinese with a biological weapon. The Chinese need to be afraid; they need to be very afraid. We all do.

Because of his ability to alter his environment with tools, man has proceeded under the arrogant assumption that he is the highest expression of organized matter in that environment.

It’s never even crossed his mind that he may himself be the tool of another organism. An organism in which he is coterminous, yet an organism that, until recently, has always managed to remain invisible…

Early in August of 1994, a strange gelatinous rain pummeled the tiny town of Oakville, Washington about forty miles west of Mount Rainier.

Residents emerged from their houses after the downpour to find the gelatinous substance coating the branches of trees and laying around their yards in hailstone like clumps. Unlike hail the substance did not melt when handled but many of those who handled it became violently ill. (211)

People in the area reported heavy activity at the time by unmarked black helicopters and planes. Some speculated that it was the military. The noxious biological hazard has since been dubbed with the Disneyesque moniker of Star Jelly by the media. Apparently for no other reason than it occurred during the Perseid Meteor Shower, seen all over the world every year in the wake of the Swift-Tuttle Comet. (212)

In the aftermath of the illnesses, some requiring hospitalization, the Washington State Department of Health assigned state microbiologist Mike McDowell to analyze the mysterious jelly. He found it positive for Pseudomonas fluorescens and Enterobacter cloacae, (213) both like Serratia marcescens, are from a genus of extremely vigorous bacteria and opportunistic pathogens.

McDowell became convinced that the substance was a “matrix.” In microbiology, a matrix is “any kind of carrier in which other substances are embedded. They occur naturally like the protective jelly found around amphibian eggs, but they can also be manmade.” (214) According to McDowell they can be used to carry “nerve agents, organisms, chemicals” and “viruses…” (215)

McDowell’s investigation was abruptly terminated when he came to work one day and found all his samples of the substance missing. When he asked management what happened to them, he says he was told not to ask again. To this day McDowell is adamant that the “material” he examined was “manufactured by someone for some purpose and for some reason Oakville was chosen as a test site.” (216)

E. cloacae are used in a bioreactor-based method for the biodegradation of RDX, an acronym for Research Department X-plosive. RDX is one of the most powerful of the conventional high explosives and has been in use since WW II. It is literally the ‘Old Bessey’ of military and industrial applications requiring an explosion. A bioreactor is a manufactured or en
