I wasn&#039;t referring to Dr. Wright&#039;s medical background but his military background as offering some insight into things the general public would not be privy to. I had a friend who had been in the army who claimed that he had been sent on drug retrieval operations during his tour - he was drunk at the time and  later claimed to not recall ever saying it - but I&#039;ve always wondered. And of course after reading about Frank Lucas using the military to transport drugs I know it is certainly possible. So I am inclined to think it is possible that IF someone could do such a thing they most certainly WOULD try. There&#039;s a lot of speculation that the rise in autism is related to the vaccines given to children so this line of thinking is not new. I&#039;m not advocating you agree with me since it obvious makes you uncomfortable to do so.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chill out truthseeker.

Hottentot Venus anyone? Scientists that &#039;proved&#039; the inferiority of Blacks? This is definitely not out of the realm of possibility. It just hasn&#039;t been exposed yet.
