The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 168
fibromyalgia. If it was 107, they would present as wasting; they wouldn't die and they wouldn't
be disabled, but they would not be very interested in life; they would waste away.” “Brucella is a
disease agent that doesn't kill people; it disables them.” What Dr. MacArthur is saying is that
they can take a disabling micro-organism, weaponise it and use it to kill.

Later on July 1, 1969, Dr. MacArthur, testified before a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Appropriations, Department of Defense Appropriations for 1970. The testimony
concerns the potential development of an AIDS-like-virus as a biological weapon:
Dr. MacArthur. There are two things about the biological agent field I
would like to mention. One is the possibility of technological surprise. Molecular
biology is a field that is advancing very rapidly and eminent biologists believe
that within a period of 5 to 10 years it would be possible to produce a sythetic
biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural
immunity could have been acquired.
Mr. Sikes. Are we doing any work in that field?
Dr. MacArthur. We are not.
Mr. Sikes. Why not? Lack of money or lack of interest?
Dr. MacArthur. Certainly not lack of interest.
Mr. Sikes. Would you provide for our records information on what would
be required, what the advantages of such a program would be, the time and the
cost involved?
Dr. MacArthur. We will be very happy to. The dramatic progress being
made in the field of molecular biology led us to investigate the relevance of this
field of science to biological warfare. A small group of experts considered this
matter and provided the following observations:
1.
All biological agents up to the present time are representatives of
naturally occurring disease, and are thus known by scientists
throughout the world. They are easily available to qualified
scientists for research, either for offensive or defensive purposes.
2.
Within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to
make a new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain
important respects from any known disease-causing organisms.
Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the
immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend
