September 2, 1999: Gulf War Syndrome & Waco Investigation - Joyce Riley
Published 1 year, 8 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Joyce Riley, registered nurse and spokesperson for the American Gulf War Veterans Association, for an urgent broadcast covering two major investigations. Riley details the plight of Gulf War veterans suffering from undisclosed biological experiments, including a disturbing new development involving parasitic organisms emerging from the skin of affected soldiers. She describes four documented cases of what the VA internally labels "Biological Agent A" while medical records are being systematically sanitized from VA facilities.
The conversation turns to Waco as Riley reveals testimony from a Gulf War veteran stationed at Fort Hood who claims 20 Apache attack helicopters from the F-227 Aviation Squadron were fully armed with Hellfire missiles, Sidewinder missiles, and 20-millimeter cannons for deployment at Mount Carmel. The source states the helicopters returned with approximately half their ordnance expended. Riley confirms Delta Force presence and notes this information has been shared with attorney Dick DeGuerrin and the Texas Rangers.
Art connects these stories to a broader pattern of government accountability failures, from Agent Orange cover-ups affecting his late friend John Pyre to Title 50 U.S. Code Section 1520-A, which Riley says expanded rather than restricted the government's authority to conduct experiments on American citizens.
