Saturday Quack – Morgellons Disease Believers

Most doctors don’t believe that Morgellons disease is a real disease at all. However, the Morgellons Research Foundation has registered almost 5,500 households with the affected patients. The main symptoms are crawling, stinging, and biting sensations, together with non-healing skin lesions, which are associated with fiber-like extrusions from the wounds. Nearly all patients report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short-term memory. Depression and bipolar disorder are extremely common, affecting well over half of all patients with Morgellons.

The name comes from a condition involving "black hairs" emerging from the skin of children which was documented in France in the 1600's. It’s doubtful that the 17th century disease has anything to do with modern-day Morgellons, however.

Doctors hardly ever diagnose Morgellons. Sufferers often present initially with a self-diagnosis, and then continue to self-diagnose after conventional treatments for the medical diagnosis (e.g. scabies, neurodermatitis, folliculitis) are not working, or after they refuse to accept a conventional diagnosis. At this point the patient is sometimes diagnosed with ‘delusional parasitosis’.

Anyway, there has been sufficient noise raised recently about Morgellons disease and the failure of doctors to take it seriously that the Centers for Disease Control have been persuaded to establish a task force to look into its status as a real disease. I shan’t hold my breath.

For those of you who have a bent towards conspiracy theories, consider this one: Morgellons and the recently proliferating websites surrounding it are just a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming movie – “A Scanner Darkly”.

Robert-have you read that both the CDC and OSU are looking into this syndrome? This is a real syndrome-it affects amny people and perhaps OSU and the CDC will get to the bottom of it...

I'm delighted that serious attention is being given to exploring the nature of this condition by two trustworthy scientific institutions. I'm skeptical, however, that their findings will resolve the problem to the satisfaction of all parties.

If the CDC wants to do something to benefit mankind, let them dig holes for themselves. Might put CBS, NBC, FOX et. al. right out of business.

Been suffering for years, and got over it. This does not mean my captors are unaware of my movements. It means that my captors are under double secret probation, for their invention, dissemination, and attempts at eradicating God. I have never been more serious about anything in my life: prepare for massive ground upheaval.

I said CONTAGIOUS???

Seems to be the new 'catchword' to enable lawsuits and power.

Again-try to not eat anything, touch any Earth, or to breathe too much.

Many lawyers will gain immortality, and Judges too, in Hell.

CDC: an organization where the least Godly gain pensions and security so that Disney can bring fame and longstanding to nanoterror. Yes...a company called HIV, now listed as CBMC.

What part of it did you not like? The part where I reported that the first nanoterror device was aids, that low kick in the crotch designed to garner obedience, and of course, FEAR.

Or the part wherein I declared that this one's a little more sinister...a self replicating web of surveillance. Yes, they see what you see, feel what you feel, hear what you hear, discern what you intend. And then punish or reward you as the device was programmed to do. Dream seeding, the whole nine yards.

Hey boys leave my posts alone, because they are not my posts.

Aw...you removed the part about my hopes and prayers that the device is an alien thingy....it is not. I have this on good authority. Aliens belong in this universe more than Gates does on Earth, with his declarations that aids will be with us for a long long time. Aliens are still part of God's Universe, and would not be as crude as a glass microsyringe finned with poison that would stop a train in it's tracks. Or did you disapprove of the part wherein I declared 'beware of ground upheaval?'

I hope you like itty bitty pigs in a blanket, 'cause that's what you're gonna get! Consider the planning behind 'global warming', now 'climate change'. It was specifically designed to neuter God, acts of God, and to place all catastrophes which did not emerge from man's use of the perfect laboratory conditions of the vacuum of space into the realm of 'manmade climate change'. IT IS MAN MADE-but gee, lots of folk need jobs telling you what to die of. There's going to be a huge ass tea party, and the whore chasers comprising government will suffer as they have made us to suffer, pardon my prophecy!

We can have more fun with this, if you like. As in all travesties, a decided 'fork in the road' wherein one is truth and one is falsehood, approaches. Sadly, Madison Avenue has been recruited in order to hammer out a solution. That solution, typically, is contagion, control, and fear. I have it on good authority that this entire nano-war is wearying the masses you hope to enslave and control. A shame. As I mentioned in one of my deleted posts: Technology is NOT going to clap handcuffs on itself. Thus, by enlisting nearly any form of control which deviates from exposing the perpetrators, we may expect the very worst: another 'can't F*&% file', of course.

So you put those panties right back on, after the party, ladies. Who knows what new nanoterror devices are crawling around on the ground? They won't be dispensing these horrors using microsyringes forever. Sooner or later they will engineer actual insects to accomplish their means. I think sooner, as in the past tense.

Yeah, falling from the sky, gently floating, under gravity's spell now, no more nanoneedles, just news stories, and authorities summarily obeying orders to give orders what now to believe.

It's HARD using bedroom terror tactics. Mindcontrol is so much easier.

Fight them till they kill you.

Me.
