The Deep Politics of Lyme Disease
“Bitten, The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons” chronicles the career of Willy Burgdorfer, a Swiss-born expert on tick and flea-borne diseases who spent most of his career researching those areas as a U.S. biological warfare scientist. Author Kris
Newby presents substantive evidence that the disease stems from BW research done by Burgdorfer and associates. (Burgdorfer was the scientist who “discovered” the organism that causes Lyme Disease.) Burgdorfer’s entree into the American biological warfare program resulted from his professional relationship with long time mentor and patron Rudolf Geigy. Geigy belonged to a family whose business, J.R. Geigy AG, was a Swiss chemical firm marketing dyes and insecticides. ” . . . . During the war, it [Geigy] produced insecticides and, most notably, the iconic ‘polar red’ dye that colored the background of Nazi swastika flags. . . .” The possibility that Geigy was an operative of the far-flung I.G. Farben espionage apparatus is one to be seriously contemplated. His role in placing young scientists in organizations that were part of the U.S. BW program also suggests a possible role as an agent of Paperclip. ” . . . . ‘The Swiss are above suspicion,’ said Geigy, who later in his life wrote a thinly fictionalized novella, ‘Siri, Top Secret’, that describes the spy activities he observed during his travels. It’s not known if Geigy participated in these activities, but he did help place young researchers in institutions that supported the U.S. bioweapons programs. . . .” In 2001, a Swiss commission found deep complicity on the part of Geigy and its cartel partners: ” . . . .The ICE [Independent Commission of Experts] concluded that the chemical firms’ bosses in Switzerland ‘possessed a high level of detailed knowledge about the political and economic situation in Nazi Germany... [and] incorporated their knowledge... into their economic planning and used it as a basis for decision-making’ . . . ‘Geigy maintained particularly good relations with Claus Ungewitter, the Reich commissioner for chemicals.’ . . .“All three Swiss firms [Geigy, Sandoz and Ciba] were indicted in the United States in 1942 because of their collaboration with I.G. Farben and the Third Reich. ” . . . . Those indicted included . . . . Farben affiliates the American Ciba, Sandoz and Geigy. . . A long list of other co-conspirators included the Swiss Ciba, Sandoz and Geigy companies with Cincinnati Chemical works, their jointly owned American concern . . . .”
