Joseph Moshe

excerpt from Mystery Disease Linked to Vanished Israeli Scientist by Hank P. Albarelli Jr. (May 7, 2010):

"The same microbiologist, who declined to speak on the record and who recounted extensive fungus work at Fort Detrick, also stated that researchers at Israel’s Institute for Biological Research, located in Ness-Ziona about 20 km from Tel Aviv, have worked with the Cryptococcus gatti fungus. He reports that mysterious Israeli-American scientist Joseph Moshe, 56 years old, may have conducted covert studies with the fungus while he was recently living in California. This report concerning Moshe is especially interesting because Moshe was briefly in the international spotlight in 2009 when he was the subject of a spectacular chase and arrest by the LA police department and SWAT team, assisted by the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, U.S. Army and several unidentified federal officials. That highly unusual arrest has never been fully explained to the media, and the whereabouts of Moshe has remained unknown since its occurrence. Compounding the mystery surrounding the Moshe case is that there is another scientist named Moshe Bar-Joseph who works in Israel at that country’s Agricultural Research Organization, whose area of expertise is plant pathology, and who looks remarkably like Joseph Moshe, except that he is about 20 years older.

<dt >Why Moshe was pursued and apprehended by the police is a largely unanswered question. According to the LA media, which recorded the entire incident by helicopter and ground cameras, Moshe claimed to be “a former Mossad microbiologist” who had telephoned a police dispatch number before his pursuit and had made “threatening statements about the White House and the president.” Reportedly, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan confirmed this when he spoke with several LA reporters.</dt>

<dt >On August 12, 2009, several LA police cruisers and an unmarked armored vehicle pursued Joseph Moshe driving his red VW automobile several miles through downtown LA before his car’s engine was reportedly knocked out by an electromagnetic pulse. Moshe refused to exit his car when ordered several times by the police, and after the driver’s window of his VW was smashed out by a robotic arm and several rounds of tear gas and pepper gas were fired into the vehicle, he still remained behind the wheel refusing to move. At the time, police officers on the scene were stunned that Moshe was able to withstand 3 tear gas shells and hosing with pepper spray without moving. Later that day, an LA law enforcement official said: “I can’t explain that, there’s no way to explain that.” Later still, a number of reports surfaced claiming “Mossad scientists are specifically trained to withstand assaults with large amounts of tear gas.”</dt>

After his apprehension, Moshe was taken to the Patton State Mental Hospital and then to LA’s Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Sometime about 60 days later Moshe was quietly released and his current whereabouts are unknown. Since his arrest became public, reports about Moshe’s activities in the U.S. have spread like wildfire, especially across the Internet. Many of these reports are unconfirmed but a few come from credible sources and have linked Moshe to the grossly underreported outbreak of flu in the Ukraine.

Other reliable sources, including two former Fort Detrick biochemists, have also linked Moshe to a mysterious disease that is becoming alarmingly common in Vermont and other states, including California. The disease is known to have killed or incapacitated at least 10-to-20 rural dwellers and farmers. This disease is said to be Morgellons disease or “a rare, mutated form of Morgellons disease.” Former Fort Detrick scientists, speaking off the record, say that the disease is one that was “experimented with intensely” in the late 1960s at several “test sites in New England” and at “a well known research facility in the Boston area.” Morgellons disease causes patients to suffer horrible skin problems as well as fatigue, confusion, and serious memory problems, as well as joint pain and the strange sensation that pins and needles are piercing the body or that something is crawling beneath one’s flesh. Some patients struck by the disease report that odd fiber-like materials force themselves through the skin. Several researchers and physicians consulted for this article believe that Morgellons may be a psychiatric condition called “delusional parasitosis.” Other physicians, who are familiar with treating the disease, say “an airborne, unidentified spore” may cause it, and that it was developed in the laboratory from an affliction that was first identified in the 1700s. Regardless of its origin, many researchers claim Morgellons is becoming “a very real medical problem in some parts of the country.” "
