Alive! →← Losing It

Sorry if I scared anyone yesterday… that last video was just hard to deal with.

I’m forcing myself not to think about it anymore.

To avoid obsessing, I spent this morning following Wheezer and Danielle’s suggestions about looking into Mancheck’s connection with Iraq… and with a little bit of persistence, was able to find one additional article about the elusive General:

Mancheck obviously has a great deal of power within the military, but it has been difficult to find out much more than that. I guess this establishes that he was promoted sometime between April 1993 (when this article ran), and June 2004, when the previous article was published… but I’m not sure if there’s any significance in that.

Apparently before he started covering up the events in Piedmont, he was a major force in Desert Storm. Back then he was just affiliated with the DoD. I wonder when he shifted his attention to biological defense.

Comments on “Mancheck & Iraq”

  1. He seemed older than Persian Gulf to me, but the military connection is still a bit tantalizing in a macabre way. And I guess Andrew is the only person around here that can answer that question correctly. However, I think there should be more of a focus on what the hell this disease is; it doesn’t seem like anything ever seen before, and should probably take priority over the people who made it. A method of avoidance (and a possible cure) is paramount over prosecution of those responsible. If we don’t survive, then we won’t have a chance to serve justice, will we?

  2. Regarding Kris’s claim that a bioagent factory would be seized rather than destroyed; what if this factory (or even just housing) had a ‘leak’ or some other disaster? Maybe it was too dangerous to be kept active.

    On the other hand, perhaps they may have harnessed the disease for their own purposes, and it somehow got let loose in Piedmont. Andrew, you said that your friend from the last video was a veteran. What war was he a veteran of? The first Persian Gulf? If so, that might be the reason why he did what he did; maybe he shares some sort of responsibility for this event, or knows what’s coming and wants a somewhat ‘better’ death - if that term can be applied to this situation - than the chaos around him.

  3. I have to say, that video was disturbing.. but enough on that, it’s something we shouldn’t focus on for sake of sanity.

    With the lack of information on casualties it’s hard to say if there was an actual bombing done, if it wasn’t a munitions bunker and some bioagent manufacturing facility, it is more likely to have been seized, and I agree that this sounds like a pivotal operation in Mancheck’s changing to Biodefense sometimes afterwards, if this is true.

    I don’t have all the fact though (speaking of which, is there anyone out there who could email me at tsukigato@gmail.com with what wheezer’s second message said, or perhaps if too confidential, the method in which to do it myself?), but this sounds likely.

  4. I know you’re under a great strain. But you’re handling this situation far better than most people would.

    I’ve done a little research of my own; there’s evidence that something extremely similar happened in to a little town in Arizona back in 1969 or 1971 (accounts differ). Maybe the incidents are related somehow?

  5. Perhaps this General is solely focused on one objective, which is why we haven’t heard so much about who he is or what role he has in the military. Normally I hate getting all conspiratorial, but it seems like the only way questions can be answered. My best guess is that whatever happened in this bombing run in Iraq has some things specificcaly in common with Piedmont’s plight. Notice how much force the army was showing when it surrounded your town; whatever is happening there, it must be very important. Likewise, it appears this ‘munitions bunker’ was bombed very soon after the ‘no-fly zone’ was lifted, hence it must have been a very high priority. Personally, I doubt that this was a munitions bunker at all, but perhaps housed the manufacturing of some type of disease. Maybe it was this incident that inspired him to head such a position. Maybe it’s what’s afflicting Piedmont.
