When we hear from our government agents reassurances that there is no
problem from the discovery of mad cow disease (Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy or BSE) in the State of Washington remember that the
British government told people the same thing at the outset of BSE in
the UK.

"Those who love sausage and the law should never watch either being
made." (Otto von Bismarck, German politician)
In 1986, the first signs of "Mad Cow Disease," a fatal brain disease
in cattle, appeared in Britain. Known more technically as Bovine
Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), the government and beef industries
went into a full-scale process of cover-up and denial, assuring the
public there was no human health risked posed by the disease. On
March 20, 1996, however, after ten years of government lies and
evasion, British Health Secretary Stephen Dorrel announced to his
stunned colleagues in the House of Commons that scientists had
discovered a new variant of a Mad Cow type disease in ten human
victims. Dorrel stated that "the most likely explanation at present"
for the country''s mounting cases of the growing human affliction ââ
(new variant) Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (nvCJD) ââ was BSE-infected
cattle.1

The cause of BSE in 1986 was from sheep that had died from scrapie.
During the 1970s, British sheep that had died from scrapie were
rendered into powder and put into animal feed.[3] Feeding cattle
scrapie meat, triggered a new spongiform disease in cattle, which is
called BSE. After the first case of BSE occurred in cattle, Dr.
Richard Lacey announced to the World Health Organization that,
scrapie, BSE, and CJD were the same thing. He also stated that ""this
beef disease was in the meat supply."" [4] Lacey''s statement was
disregarded by Britain''s government, which tried to hide the reality
of the mad cow disease from the general populace.

As mentioned earlier, not until 1986 did British scientists suggest
a ""probable link"" between BSE and vCJD. There has been some
speculation that this resistance was the result of a concerted effort
by conservative party leaders, 40 of whom were also farmers, to try
and insure their own political survival and the economic survival of
the beef industry (Ritvo, 1998). In 1988 Britain made a token ban of
the recycling of domestic cows in cattle feed. However, at the same
time the British Government permitted farmers and feed lots to use up
their potentially infected feed inventories for the 5 weeks that
followed rather than prohibiting it outright. Perhaps even more
disturbing is the finding that Britain exported unregulated feed to
over 80 countries, especially to Asia.
