1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hidden power, secrets, cover-ups, corruption.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
You think you know the whole story?

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Think again.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I've been governor, a Navy SEAL, a fighter.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I've heard things that'll blow your mind,

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
and now I think it's time you get the whole story.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Now, the government's real-life island of horror.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
A secret bio-warfare lab, a stone's throw from New York City and Boston.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
If it wasn't so close to the East Coast, they had a nuke.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
A US facility created by former Nazi scientists doing animal research

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
that could wipe out the human race.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And evidence the damage is already being done.

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
A mutated human body.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
That is correct.

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Jesse Ventura takes to the sea to expose the government's deadliest secret.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
We got the Coast Guard behind us.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And he discovers an even larger, more lethal conspiracy.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Hundreds of germ labs in a ring of fire engulfing the nation.

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
This is something that could affect someone from Maine to California from Alaska to Florida.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Mutant animals, mutated humans, a conspiracy of germs, disease,

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
greed, and a target for terrorists.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
And the range finder of Al Qaeda.

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
This is a biological sitting drop.

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Plum Island and the bioterror conspiracy.

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory.

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
We got these guys paralleling us.

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
We got the Coast Guard behind us.

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Now what the hell?

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Jesse Ventura is crashing through dangerous waters.

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
He's headed for Plum Island, a top secret government germ lab off the shore of New York.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
But Homeland Security has radioed word.

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
They want him stopped.

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Oh, he's paralleling us. There's no doubt about it.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
The governor has evidence that Plum Island is a bio warfare time bomb.

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Only now, the clock is ticking for him.

36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I used to be a governor. What do they think I am? A fucking terrorist?

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
It was a raid out of my Navy frogman days.

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Only this time I didn't have a gun or a knife.

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
But from what I'd already found, they probably wouldn't be much help anyway.

40
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
This all started when I got a call from a guy named Kenneth King.

41
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
He's an expert on bio warfare, the use of viruses and germs as weapons.

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
He said we're facing a major bio weapons threat and not from any terror group.

43
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Since 9-11, the government's been opening germ labs all over the country,

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
supposedly developing drugs and vaccines to protect us against bio terror.

45
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
But he claimed these labs, our labs, could kill us all.

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
There were about 200 high-containment germ lab facilities in 2001.

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
There are now at least 1,356 plus many more off the books.

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
You now have a kind of military-academic industrial complex

49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
that is devoted to hyping the fear of bio terror so that they will continue to get the funds.

50
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Let me ask you this, what do these places actually do?

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
A whole bunch of things, some of it very reckless.

52
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
We have a clear indication that accidents are occurring regularly.

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
They're being concealed from the public because the bio defense industry

54
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
does not want the American public to become concerned about their activity.

55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
We know other countries and terror groups are ready to use bio weapons against us.

56
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
So you'd figure defense research would be a good thing.

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Kenneth King warned that it's not.

58
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
They are taking the approach that a terrorist might create some new pathogen.

59
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
So we'll go ahead and do it ourselves to see if it's possible to do it.

60
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
And then once we've done it, maybe we can dream up the defense against it.

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And what you're telling me is they're not taking the proper precautions

62
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
at these facilities that a risk could be run,

63
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
that some of this bio stuff could get loose.

64
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
They're refusing to acknowledge the possibility that this stuff could get loose.

65
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
These things seem out of control.

66
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And they're all a bunch of outlaw cowboys each at every facility.

67
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Yes, that's what I think.

68
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
This is something that could affect someone from Maine to California, from Alaska to Florida.

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Absolutely.

70
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
How much involvement in these labs does the Department of Homeland Security have now?

71
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Well, right now they are trying to build a couple of the big labs themselves

72
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
and they were going to develop animal diseases that spread between animals and humans.

73
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Well, after they started getting some plaque,

74
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
they posted this little diseases of interest list that took off most of the scary bio weapons agents.

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Are they lying?

76
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I think so, yes.

77
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Really?

78
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Yes.

79
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
So the Department of Homeland Security is being untruthful with the American public and what they're doing?

80
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
That's what I think.

81
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Kenneth King spelled out the conspiracy.

82
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Bio weapons research, masquerading as animal research.

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Germs and viruses that are supposedly restricted to animals, crossing over to humans.

84
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And the labs themselves, letting all kinds of germs and bio weapons escape into the air, into your neighborhood.

85
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
In your opinion, what's the worst case scenario we face?

86
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000
The worst case scenario is that viruses they created could get out of the lab and start that pandemic that we've all been worrying about.

87
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Sounds like we've dodged the bullet so far, but luck can't hold out forever.

88
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
We learned that on 9-11.

89
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
If I choose to investigate this, where would you recommend I go?

90
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
I certainly would suggest that you look into the facility at Plum Island.

91
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Plum Island.

92
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
It's about two miles off the northeast coast of Long Island, New York.

93
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:26,000
70 miles from New York City, across the sound from Connecticut, not too far from Boston.

94
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Since 1954, home of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, started by the Army and now run by Homeland Security.

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And if Kenneth King is right, what's going on there will make your hair stand on end.

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:59,000
They always claimed that they didn't do anything in the biological weapons area, although the Government Accountability Office indicated in a report in 2003 that they were doing a project for the Department of Defense to try to manipulate camelpox so that it would be like smallpox.

97
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
I would call that bio weapons research.

98
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Kenneth King told me about this place called Plum Island, one of the most dangerous bio labs in the country.

99
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Yeah, get ready for this. They're moving it and they're upgrading it to an even more dangerous level.

100
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
They're moving it? To where?

101
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
To Kansas, the heart of cattle country.

102
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Are you kidding me? They're going to move a bio lab into the central part of the country where the majority of our food supply comes from.

103
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Come on guys, aren't we overreacting a little bit here?

104
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Actually no Alex, there have been a number of outbreaks on Plum Island.

105
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Can we positively say something has gotten off of this island?

106
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Well, there's this.

107
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
What in the hell is that?

108
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
What is that, a shaved dog?

109
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:58,000
They call it the Montauk Monster. It was found up, washed along the shores of Long Island a couple of summers ago and apparently there are at least two others.

110
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I don't know, maybe it's a raccoon?

111
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000
That interests me enough right there. Let's get focused, let's go out and find out what goes on at Plum Island.

112
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:22,000
The investigation was underway. June was following up on the Kansas lead. She'd see where the feds want to move the Plum Island lab and make it even more of a danger.

113
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Alex and I were headed to the airport.

114
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
So, Montauk Monster, huh?

115
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I've never seen anything ever that looked like that thing that we saw in the picture.

116
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:45,000
We were going to New York. He'd hit the beach and find out more about this Montauk Monster. Me? I knew that eventually I'd be making an assault on Plum Island.

117
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Coming up, the Nazi scientist behind the Plum Island experiments.

118
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Trout was the godfather of Plum Island.

119
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Then, monsters and mutants. Plum Island is blamed for bizarre creatures washing up on shore.

120
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Human body.

121
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Human body with elongated fingers.

122
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And later, Jesse Ventura goes Navy SEAL on the place and storms Plum Island by sea.

123
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
SEALS DON'T GET STOPPED!

124
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:28,000
THE MISTERIOUS PLUM ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK

125
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
The mysterious Plum Island off the coast of Long Island, New York.

126
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:41,000
The site of a government laboratory where scientists are rumored to be violating the Geneva Conventions by creating biological weapons.

127
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Is this a hot house for catastrophe? Jesse Ventura's team spreads out to find the truth.

128
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I was driving across Long Island to get some background on the place.

129
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Alex Piper was already on the beach, following up on reports that some weird animal made it from Plum Island to the mainland.

130
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
The Montauk Monster is a creature that washed up on this beach in July of 2008.

131
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And more monsters have washed up.

132
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Now when you say monster, what are we talking about here?

133
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
What I really mean is creature. It's a creature that scientists cannot explain exactly what species it is.

134
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
It's something that I've never seen before, and I don't think the world's ever seen before either.

135
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Nick Cuttenero is a local. He reported on the first creature sighting on his website.

136
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
When a second one washed up, he was called to the scene.

137
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
The first monster was found right here in Montauk, right on the beach.

138
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
On this beach right here? That is correct.

139
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:57,000
People thought it was a raccoon. It was a turtle without a shell. Or it was an animal that may have been crossbred.

140
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Crossbred. Two animals in a lab bred together to be something completely new.

141
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
That is correct.

142
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I have pictures and video clips. I've seen it with my own eyes more than once.

143
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000
While Alex was learning more about the Montauk Monster, I was a few miles inland with Carl Grossman.

144
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
He's a journalist and professor, the expert on the history of Plum Island.

145
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
When did Plum Island become what it is today?

146
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:44,000
After World War II, there was a Nazi scientist. I named Eric Traub.

147
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000
And he figured he would set up off the coast of Long Island, the sort of German warfare lab.

148
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,000
He ran during the war to develop insects, ticks, and so forth for biological warfare.

149
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:04,000
In Germany, Eric Traub worked for Heinrich Himmler, who ran Hitler's Gestapo and SS.

150
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,000
It was Traub's idea to inject animal diseases into ticks, then release the ticks as an army of bio weapons.

151
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Traub was brought to the States after the war under Operation Paperclip, a U.S. government program that recruited Nazi scientists.

152
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We know Paperclip brought over rocket experts like Werner von Braun, who helped start NASA.

153
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
The Dr. Mengele types don't get so much attention.

154
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,000
So Eric Traub comes from Nazi Germany, and so in essence, what is he, the godfather of Plum Island?

155
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Absolutely. It was a co-war situation, and we figured that we better grab them before the Soviets do.

156
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Traub was the godfather of Plum Island.

157
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Back on the beach, Alex was seeing a pattern. One monster is weird enough, but two?

158
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
So when you come upon the second monster, what's going through your mind?

159
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
This was something that I've never seen before.

160
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Can you pick up the head again?

161
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
That's really weird.

162
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
That's so weird.

163
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The creature was bloated, leathery, it had patches of hair, and it smelled like a mix of a low tide and rotten garbage.

164
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And claws.

165
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Claws.

166
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
And matchstick-like fingers. It almost resembled somewhat of a chicken claw.

167
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
It's really odd.

168
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
With the proximity of Plum Island being close to Montauk and this beach right here,

169
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
what I think and what a lot of other people think is, perhaps it came from Plum Island.

170
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
That's really weird.

171
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Experts say the turbulent tides and currents make it very possible the creatures came from Plum Island.

172
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
It's also possible that something escaped from the lab.

173
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
The Feds haven't had the best of luck keeping a lid on their nasty little secret.

174
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
How is the security there?

175
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Is it as secure as it should be for something as sensitive as this?

176
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Absolutely not.

177
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Now, Plum Island is a sitting duck.

178
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
The ferry to Connecticut goes right past it.

179
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
It's totally exposed.

180
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I mean, and I'm not giving ideas to anybody because in fact, folks with connections to Al Qaeda have been found with information dossier on Plum Island.

181
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Carl Grossman wasn't exaggerating.

182
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Haifa Siddiqui is a Pakistani scientist who was named one of the seven most wanted Al Qaeda fugitives.

183
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Lady Al Qaeda, they called her.

184
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
When she was captured in 2008, she was carrying handwritten documents about a quote,

185
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
mass casualty attack and a list of targets, including Plum Island.

186
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
It's in the rangefinder of Al Qaeda.

187
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000
If they want to hit Plum Island, there is utterly not a problem.

188
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
I mean, it just sits there.

189
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
It's not secluded.

190
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
It's right there on the coastline.

191
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And all some Al Qaeda characters have to do is to rent a Boston whaler and one of these rockets.

192
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
You would have a disaster.

193
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
What type of accidents have you heard about?

194
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:45,000
The most serious accident was in 1978 when there was some sort of screw up with the negative pressure system at the main laboratory and some foot and mouth disease virus just came out.

195
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Those are only a few of the problems.

196
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,000
There have been virus outbreaks, infected workers, contaminated raw sewage flushed into Long Island Sound.

197
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Even after 9-11, after Homeland Security took over, there were outbreaks of foot and mouth.

198
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
But the scariest thing to escape is this tiny little tick.

199
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
The insect Eric Traub worked with may be the most fierce weapon of all.

200
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Experiments done with ticks raises the specter that that might be the source of Lyme disease.

201
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,000
A biological warfare experiment done by Fulminazi scientists that got out of control.

202
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Do you believe it is?

203
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
We wanted to see the records in connection to these tick experiments.

204
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And what did you discover?

205
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
The claim was we have no records.

206
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
What?

207
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
I mean there's no records.

208
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Government always has records. Government records everything they do.

209
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
That's standard operating procedure.

210
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:05,000
And the thing that I'm learning is that whenever you see standard operating procedures violated, that is your classic sign that there's a conspiracy going on.

211
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
This lab sounds like a recipe for disaster.

212
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
And in my experience, the government's not going to level with us.

213
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
That's why I wasn't too surprised by the call from Alex.

214
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Hi Alex, what do you got?

215
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Forget about the Montauk monster.

216
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
They found a human body, a mutated human body on Plum Island.

217
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
What in the hell?

218
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Coming up, human experiments gone horribly wrong.

219
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
They found him. They found five poles drilled in his head.

220
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Then the governor meets a victim of a Plum Island bio warfare virus.

221
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
In your opinion, what should be done with Plum Island?

222
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
If it wasn't so close to the East Coast, they had a nuke.

223
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
And later, Jesse Ventura storms the shores of Plum Island to find out what really goes on.

224
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Jesse Ventura is headed across Long Island Sound toward Lyme, Connecticut.

225
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
This is the town that gave name to Lyme disease, the debilitating chronic ailments spread by tick bites.

226
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Some say Lyme disease was created on and escaped from nearby Plum Island.

227
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
But that's not the only thing that's escaped.

228
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Alex Piper has evidence of human experiments.

229
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,000
A body found in early 2010 on a Plum Island beach.

230
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Human body.

231
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Human body with elongated fingers.

232
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
A mutated human body.

233
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
That is correct.

234
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Well, you're saying the research is not just being conducted on animals, but possibly on humans as well.

235
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Well, I would say that it leads you in a direction that you really don't want to go down when thinking about what's really going on.

236
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Alex headed straight to Suffolk County.

237
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Alex headed straight to Suffolk County police headquarters.

238
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
And guess what?

239
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
The cops refused to comment on the so-called Montauk monsters.

240
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
And they backed out of an interview about the mutant man.

241
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Trying to get some more information about that dead body that was found on Plum Island not too long ago.

242
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Sorry, we can't help you.

243
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
So, even though yesterday they agreed to speak with us, today they don't want to talk to us on camera.

244
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
That's correct.

245
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
What are they trying to hide?

246
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I was getting an idea after I arrived in Lyme and met up with Randy Sykes.

247
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
He came down with Lyme disease about 15 years ago.

248
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Then he began investigating and found evidence it was created by the government.

249
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
What has Lyme disease done to you?

250
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Destroyed me.

251
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
I used to run two and a half miles a day.

252
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000
I'd hit the police gym every morning on the way in to work and bench pressing, weight lifting.

253
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
And I got to the point where I couldn't walk three-tenths of a mile before I just collapsed and gave up.

254
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
I forgot how to add. Couldn't add 13 and 13 on paper.

255
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
It just, it'll attack any part of your body.

256
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
It's like standing by the river and throwing in a handful of confetti.

257
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
When it hits the river, it just fans out.

258
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
It goes through your veins and wherever it ends up, liver damage, it's incredible.

259
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
You believe Lyme disease was created, correct?

260
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
We've found so many things like, for instance, the strain that's patented by the Department of Defense.

261
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
I have the patent here for it.

262
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Let's get down to layman's terms.

263
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
This is our government doing biological warfare?

264
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
I would say.

265
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Plum Island.

266
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Is that where you believe all this takes place?

267
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
I have papers where they infected ticks.

268
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
They were infecting ticks with all types of viruses and anything like that.

269
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
For what purpose would they say that they were doing that?

270
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Well, it's, it's, you know, like a military type installation and they don't usually do things to help people.

271
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Right.

272
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
They don't usually do things to help them.

273
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Anything the military is involved with is death and destruction.

274
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Yeah.

275
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Randy, they're doing these experiments on Plum Island.

276
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
You pretty much prove that with your documentation.

277
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
How would the infected tick get off the island?

278
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
A few months out of the year, the current is blowing in toward shore.

279
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:18,000
But I read they did outdoor experiments infecting the ticks, leaving them outdoors and, you know, birds fly back to shore.

280
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Migration's going throughout the country, different areas.

281
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:31,000
One tick, one flock of birds flying from Plum Island to the mainland can carry an army of these natural warriors.

282
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And if there's any question that Lyme diseases a weapon, it turns out that Randy Sykes found the smoking gun.

283
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:49,000
A document from 2005 in which the feds list the bioterror agents they were working on at Plum Island and other labs.

284
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Anthrax, Tullaremia, Cholera, Desert Fever, Lyme disease.

285
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
I mean, they're all talking about biowarfare and Lyme's listed every time.

286
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
So they're the ones saying it's biowarfare.

287
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
So this is clearly bioterrorism or biowarfare.

288
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
And it seems we're using our own people as guinea pigs.

289
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Randy, in your opinion, what should be done with Plum Island?

290
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
If it wasn't so close to the East Coast, they had a nuke.

291
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Randy Sykes's information put everything into perspective.

292
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
If infected ticks could cripple three million people, imagine what else is out there.

293
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Yeah.

294
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Hey, Governor, it's Alex.

295
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I'm at the Suffolk County Police Department.

296
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:40,000
The homicide squad are investigating an unidentified male body that was washed ashore on the southwest beach area of Plum Island.

297
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:48,000
A white male, approximately six to six foot two inches tall with a large build and very long fingers.

298
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
They gave me a news release.

299
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
The party line.

300
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Yeah, well, after I read that, I had a lot more questions.

301
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
So I cornered one of the officers and he gave me some answers.

302
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
They found him in the middle of January, but he was wearing nothing but a short-sleeved shirt and cargo pants.

303
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
The officer did tell me that when they found the body, there were five holes drilled in his head.

304
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
They think it was the product of a neurosurgery.

305
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Man, what are they doing out there?

306
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
He had no identification, nothing that would identify him.

307
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:22,000
The mutant man on Plum Island, that case remains open and unsolved.

308
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Governor, it's me.

309
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
I'm in Kansas.

310
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
I'm at the site where they want to build this place, the National Bio and Agri-Defense Facility.

311
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
They're planning on building it right in the middle of the university.

312
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
And it's in the middle of Kettle Country.

313
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
You can see it's dangerous just by standing here.

314
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,000
They're serious about moving a top secret bio-warfare lab into the middle of the nation's food supply?

315
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I need to get out to that island and dig up those secrets that no one wants us to know about.

316
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Coming up, plans to move the Plum Island terror target for the entire country in danger.

317
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Almost any outbreak would be a worse case scenario.

318
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Then, the governor leads the Coast Guard on a wild chase to Plum Island.

319
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000
What the hell? I used to be a governor.

320
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,000
And later, he heads to Washington and surprises the powers behind the Plum Island mystery.

321
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Homeland security rules by threats and rules by intimidation.

322
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Jesse Ventura is at the marina in Orient Point, New York.

323
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yards away is the Homeland Security ferry terminal for workers at Plum Island.

324
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,000
The governor and Alex Piper have chartered their own boat to the mysterious Animal Research Lab.

325
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Their navigator is Jim McCoy.

326
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:00,000
He worked on Plum Island until he blew the whistle on dangerous sloppy practices that could lead to bio-warfare outbreaks and mass casualties.

327
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
He lost his job. He won the lawsuit.

328
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
I got a boat with a captain who's going to take us over.

329
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
So, you ready to go for a boat trip? Let's go take a look at this place.

330
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Alex and I were ready to shove off on a boat called the Coyote.

331
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Captain Ron.

332
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
How are you?

333
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Good, good. Well, as an old Navy man requesting permission to come aboard.

334
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:39,000
It was all systems go, but all of a sudden Captain Ron lost his sea legs.

335
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
He refused to take us to Plum Island.

336
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And guess what? None of the other captains would take us either.

337
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Homeland Security had laid down the law.

338
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,000
So it's clear that Homeland Security operates under fear and intimidation.

339
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
They could literally strip them of their license for driving a boat out in what's open water.

340
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
He could read it in it. He was scared to death.

341
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
While Alex and I were figuring our next move,

342
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
June had found her connection in Manhattan Cancer.

343
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000
That's where they want to move the Plum Island Lab and make it bigger and more dangerous.

344
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Professor Tom Manny is leading the fight to stop it.

345
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:35,000
I think it's a bad idea to move it off of Plum Island or anywhere onto the mainland

346
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
because of the foot and mouth disease.

347
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Because it is such a deadly virus.

348
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Deadly not in the sense that it kills,

349
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000
but in the sense that it takes so few virus particles to inspect animals.

350
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Consequences of an infection are just horrendous for the whole economy

351
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000
because it immediately shuts down export of beef to the rest of the world.

352
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
The same thing happened in England in 2001.

353
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
The first effect is a quarantine.

354
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Something like three to five mile radius.

355
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
So the effects would be catastrophic.

356
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
They would be.

357
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Everybody you talk to around here sets this place up like it's the incubator for germ warfare,

358
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
biological warfare.

359
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
I mean, this is ground zero.

360
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The fact that they won't even take you out on the boat says everything that you need to know.

361
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Yep. Why would they care?

362
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
If there wasn't something diabolical out there, they wouldn't care.

363
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
We are in the heart of Tornado Valley, aren't we?

364
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
We are.

365
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000
I haven't heard them provide any data that they've designed this

366
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:02,000
to have those door seals withstand the pressure drop of a tornado.

367
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And some of the releases at Plum Island have been from the failure of those door gaskets.

368
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
So let's say there was an outbreak of foot and mouth.

369
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
It could easily be transported to the rest of the country, couldn't it?

370
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Almost any outbreak would be a worst case scenario

371
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
because as soon as it was detected, which could be a week or two,

372
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:30,000
then this whole area, three, five miles, whatever they decide, would be quarantined.

373
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
The animals would be slaughtered.

374
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I've heard the number of 400,000 in the whole county area.

375
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
So you can take us to Plum Island?

376
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Okay, thank you. Yeah, we'll be right there.

377
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Okay.

378
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Looks like we found a captain that'll take us to Plum Island.

379
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Let's go for it.

380
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
All right. Let's get out of here before he changes his mind.

381
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
He may yet anyway.

382
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
We had to call another marina to get a captain to take us to Plum Island.

383
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
But when his boat came into view, we knew he was the man for the job.

384
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Now it was just a matter of getting out of the harbor.

385
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Oh, he's paralleling us. There's no doubt about it.

386
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Coming up, Jesse Ventura races to Plum Island with the Coast Guard in hot pursuit.

387
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
What the hell? What do they think I am? A terrorist?

388
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Then a Plum Island veteran revisits the scene of the horrors.

389
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
The people were going around putting duct tape around the outside doors on a bio-containment area,

390
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
but duct tape doesn't stop viruses.

391
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,000
And later, Mr. Ventura goes to Washington to hunt down Plum Island's mastermind.

392
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
You're being funny with me now, Dr. Wright.

393
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
What idea to be funny with you?

394
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,000
The Coast Guard is hot on the tail of Jesse Ventura as he attempts to reach Plum Island.

395
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Word is out that he's accompanied by Jim McCoy,

396
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
a Plum Island worker who was fired after he blew the whistle on dangerous safety violations.

397
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Well, yeah, this Coast Guard boat's definitely following us.

398
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Look at that.

399
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Yeah.

400
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
We got the Coast Guard behind us. We got these guys here. What the hell?

401
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
I used to be a governor. What do they think I am? A fucking terrorist?

402
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The Coast Guard boats stayed in sight the entire time, but they didn't stop us.

403
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Before we knew it, we were at Plum Island.

404
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
What was your job here?

405
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
My job was in the Bio Level 3 containment laboratory.

406
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
You got fired?

407
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Yes, I did.

408
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
What did you do to get fired?

409
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:15,000
I had interrupted a meeting in the administration building that was attended by the then acting director for Homeland Security,

410
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Senator Clinton's New York manager, as well as other representatives, aides, and environmental groups.

411
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
And you interrupted their meeting and what did you do?

412
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:34,000
I asked to speak because I had safety issues that I'd observed on Plum Island and I wanted to discuss them with them.

413
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:43,000
There was no level of security monitoring inside the bio containment area.

414
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
So you brought these facts up and you were fired over it?

415
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Yes, sir.

416
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,000
I felt that from the safety of the people that worked there, for the people who lived in this community,

417
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,000
and for our country, that these things had to be told, even if it meant my job.

418
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Jim McCoy knew where all the bodies were buried and where bodies and bio weapons may have escaped.

419
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
What are those buildings right there?

420
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:22,000
They used to keep their livestock in pens there and there was talk when I worked at the lab that a cow that was injected with the virus got out

421
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:28,000
and got into the pen with all the other cows and they had to kill all the cows.

422
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,000
The long building with all the stacks sticking up, that is the bio containment laboratory.

423
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
In the event of a power failure to the island, the generators will kick on.

424
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And that is something that didn't happen in December of 2002.

425
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
There was a period of four hours that they lost power from the mainland.

426
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:56,000
During this time, they had no ventilation to the bio containment area to ensure that the viruses would be kept in a negative pressure.

427
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Pretty dangerous.

428
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Yes. The people were going around putting duct tape around the outside doors on the bio containment area and trying to contain whatever might be getting out into the atmosphere.

429
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
But duct tape doesn't stop viruses.

430
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Could this be a place where biological weapons could be being built?

431
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
It's unknown what they're developing.

432
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:33,000
We were just digging in when we noticed we had company.

433
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
See it? Right over there.

434
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
He's followed us all the way around the island now.

435
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
We were as close as we could get.

436
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:48,000
The Coast Guard was on our tail again and security vehicles were shadowing us on the island.

437
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
We had to turn back.

438
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000
You know, I find it very, very interesting.

439
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:00,000
I'm a former governor, a former mayor, a former Navy SEAL with a top secret security clearance.

440
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Yet, I can't go on Plum Island.

441
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
I get the Coast Guard tailing me.

442
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
I get vehicles along the shore watching our every move.

443
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Where I come from, if you're the one paying the money, that makes you the boss.

444
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
How come we the people aren't the boss anymore?

445
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
We're the one paying the salaries of these people,

446
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,000
and yet they deprive us of knowing what they do on this island.

447
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
They want to get heavy?

448
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I can give as good as I get.

449
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Next stop, Washington, D.C.

450
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
I paid a visit to Congressman Tim Bishop.

451
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000
If there's anyone who'd know what's going on at Plum Island, this is the guy.

452
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Plum Island's in his district.

453
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,000
He was a little surprised to see me, but at least he had the guts to talk to me.

454
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Not like some of these guys.

455
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
That's a strange place out there, Plum Island.

456
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
I got chased around by the Coast Guard.

457
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
I got chased around and shadowed by Homeland Security.

458
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Does that island concern you?

459
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Well, I think there was a period of time where I was very concerned,

460
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,000
because I felt that there was not a sufficient investment in securing the island.

461
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,000
So part of what you encountered, I think, was an increased level of security for the island.

462
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
None of the fishing boats would take us out there,

463
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000
because of fear of retribution from Homeland Security, which I found horrible,

464
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:33,000
that Homeland Security rules by threats, and rules by intimidation.

465
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I have to tell you, I have never heard any suggestion of threat or intimidation.

466
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
I just have not.

467
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Well, I'm giving you your first one then.

468
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000
What concerned me the most about it was when I read the history of it,

469
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
and I saw who the godfather is of Plum Island, Eric Traub,

470
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
who was a Nazi right under Himmler that many people think probably should have stood trial at Nuremberg,

471
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:04,000
but his expertise is attempting to create biological warfare using ticks and mosquitoes to spread them.

472
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
That doesn't bother you that this guy came there?

473
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,000
If that was what was going on there, if I was convinced that that was what was going on there,

474
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
that would bother me, but I don't believe that that's what's going on there.

475
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,000
So you're comfortable and don't believe in the conspiracy that Lyme disease originated there,

476
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
because it started in Lyme, Connecticut, which is right across the water?

477
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
I do not accept that.

478
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
You don't accept that?

479
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
I do not.

480
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
What accomplishments have they got out of there?

481
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Well, they have conducted research that has helped us.

482
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,000
What has been achieved? I've heard nothing.

483
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Are you angry that there's a possibility it could move to Kansas?

484
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
I wouldn't use the word angry. I am troubled by that,

485
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:51,000
and in fact I have been working to try to keep the facility open on Plum Island.

486
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Aren't you concerned though that if something could go wrong at this place and what the results of it could be?

487
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Plum Island is so-called zoonotic diseases are not studied at Plum Island.

488
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Diseases that are animal-born that can spread to humans.

489
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
The only diseases that are studied at Plum Island are animal-born diseases that do not spread.

490
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
And you know this absolutely.

491
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
I accept what I've been told.

492
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Okay.

493
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
I guess that's the difference between him and me.

494
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I don't just accept what I've been told.

495
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000
There was someone else I wanted to find anyway.

496
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000
A guy who knows Plum Island firsthand.

497
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000
The guy who tells people like Congressman Bishop things they accept.

498
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I staked him out where he works, and sure enough, there he was.

499
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Dr. Breeze?

500
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
I was not expecting to see you here.

501
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Coming up, the truth revealed.

502
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:01,000
The doctor in charge of the Plum Island lab admits humans are being infected with deadly viruses.

503
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Everybody that works in the laboratory will actually inhale viruses in the air.

504
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Some of the infections also infect people.

505
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
I was not expecting to see you here.

506
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation of the Plum Island conspiracy has taken him to Washington, D.C.

507
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
He's just cornered a key player, a man who knows Plum Island secrets.

508
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Dr. Breeze, you were in charge of Plum Island?

509
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Is that correct?

510
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,000
That's right.

511
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Roger Breeze.

512
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Dr. Roger Breeze.

513
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
In the 1990s, he ran the lab dreamed up by Nazi scientist Eric Traub.

514
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Plum Island had some of its biggest security breaches under his watch.

515
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Now that Homeland Security is taken over, he's one of the overlords,

516
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
a chief scientist in the biological weapons program.

517
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Why is Plum Island so secretive?

518
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
It isn't secretive at all.

519
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Well, I tried to go there, and I was put under surveillance by Homeland Security.

520
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I was tailed by the Coast Guard, and I'm a former governor, a mayor,

521
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
a Navy SEAL with a top-secret security clearance.

522
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Why would they behave that way?

523
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:26,000
I think it's because it's really completely misguided, you know, approach to the problem.

524
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Okay, to your knowledge, do we do biological warfare at Plum Island?

525
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
No.

526
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
No.

527
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
No.

528
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Not at all.

529
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
I mean, what concerns me is the history of Plum Island, the creator of Plum Island, Eric Traub.

530
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:46,000
He was a Nazi. His expertise was biological warfare, infecting mosquitoes and wood ticks.

531
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
He created it.

532
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
I actually don't know anything about Eric Traub.

533
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:57,000
So the experiments they do there, is it strictly on animals?

534
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
It's on animals, yes.

535
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And animal diseases and infections?

536
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Some of the infections also infect people.

537
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Isn't that interesting?

538
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Seems the congressman who accepts what he's told was told a bunch of BS.

539
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,000
The only diseases that are studied at Plum Island are animal-borne diseases that do not spread to humans.

540
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Some of the infections also infect people.

541
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
After all the lies about Plum Island not being a hazard to you and me,

542
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000
the guy who ran the lab admits the exact opposite.

543
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Did Lyme disease originate at Plum Island?

544
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Well, you know, that's something that you hear all the time.

545
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Well, let's make a leap then.

546
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,000
If Eric Traub was with Nazis, could he have been ahead of his time and created it here?

547
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
So you're saying to me there's nothing for the public to worry about at Plum Island?

548
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000
The people that work at Plum Island are just ordinary Americans.

549
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Dr. Breeze played dumb about the Montauk monster and the mutated man.

550
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Do you know anything about that?

551
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
I don't know.

552
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
You're being funny with me now, doctor, right?

553
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Would I dare to be funny with you?

554
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:15,000
He had his story down, but then he let slip something I could hardly believe.

555
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
At Plum Island, you had the outbreak of hoof and mouth.

556
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
What precautions are taken at Plum Island that makes it safe?

557
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Everybody that works in the laboratory where there's photomethasies

558
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
will actually inhale viruses in the air during the course of the day

559
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
and that will be trapped in the back of the throat.

560
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000
So that's why at Plum Island, there's always been a rule

561
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,000
that if you go inside the laboratory, then you're not allowed to have an animal

562
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
that might catch photomethasies or the other diseases that you work in at home.

563
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,000
You can't visit a zoo or a circus or any place pet store.

564
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
He admitted that people bring infectious disease off the island

565
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,000
and security is on the honor system.

566
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
That's one for the books.

567
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Doctor, now there's talk they're going to move it to Kansas.

568
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Why would we want to move it to Kansas in the heart of America,

569
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
which as you say, if something gets out,

570
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000
it's probably going to be far more devastating in a place like Kansas

571
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
than it would be on Long Island.

572
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
I agree with it. I agree with it totally.

573
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Why do they want to move it?

574
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
It's a... the Congress decides what it wants to do.

575
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,000
It's a $700 million construction and lots of jobs.

576
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
I guess you have to assume that Kansas had some great lobbyists.

577
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Oh, I think for certain.

578
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Okay, you know, I mean, we'd make that assumption.

579
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
It all comes down to politics as usual.

580
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Look at that place.

581
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:44,000
It's a toxic ticking time bomb for an outbreak of cataclysmic proportions.

582
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
And they want to move it to the middle of the country.

583
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
What could go wrong?

584
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
The military-academic industrial complex.

585
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
That's a new one to me, but it says a lot.

586
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Combine fear, greed, and our tax dollars,

587
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000
and you've got a bio-warfare industry that's out of control.

588
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
It's a conspiracy, all right,

589
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
and it poses a bigger threat to this nation than any terror group.

590
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,000
There's more than 1,300 of these germ labs across the country.

591
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
That means one of them is probably upwind from you.

592
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,000
At any moment, you and I can wind up victims of an attack or careless accident,

593
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,000
something you can't see, hear, or even know about.

594
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,000
You really want to take that chance, think about it.

595
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And while you're at it, if you have a pet, be sure and check it for ticks.

596
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory.
