No dickweed I am not. There are no such thing. Have you ever seen one. Stop listening to your lying tell-a-vision boxes, which you are clearly programmed by. It's time for you to get out of the matrix. Wake up dickhead.

[KillWithFire12]

What a nice person that institute director is. Holy fuck.

[lookslikeabitch]

1:05 you almost started a zombi apocalypse!

[SolidSoul40373]

@jimmyhoffa9 eh i kno its just hard to think about how the world really is and even though were the dominant species we do this to survive, im sure if it was another animal theyd test us but wutever... life moves on and this is just apart of it

[jimmyhoffa9]

before this video,no-one knew where the fuck this facility was, and hence it was completely safe, like bin laden used to be because no-one knew where he was. now the location is out, their chance of attack by ANYONE who wants to harm others is much higher. thanks journalist, you potentially put others lives at risk trying to prove a pointless point.

[jimmyhoffa9]

@SolidSoul40373 really? they've been testing on animals for centuries. pretty much every consumer product is animal tested. if they used humans (obviously not for plague etc) to test a new chemical and it killed a human the company would go down like a lead balloon regardless of consent etc

[jimmyhoffa9]

@BAZYRKYR lol believe such things if you want, but unless you provide evidence, its scientifically a load of bullshit. the US has had several presidents since 1993, are you suggesting different presidents with different morals/ethics/political opinions all support terrorism? theres a shitton of scandals that have come out everywhere, if the CIA planned 9/11 we'd know about it no-matter how hard they tried to cover it up.

[BAZYRKYR]

How the fuck do you know "they would love to break in here...they'd love to get a hold of this stuff" News flash dipshit....Al Qaeda was created by CIA and EVERY TERRORIST ATTACK from Lockerbie Flight 800...to Oklahoma City...to Twin Towers 1993....up to the attacks of 7/7 & 9/11 were all PLANNED AND CARRIED OUT BY CIA AND THEIR AGENTS & ASSETS IN THE US AND ABROAD AND THEY WERE (AND STILL ARE) BEING COVERED UP BY THE FBI WITH HELP FROM MAINSTREAM MEDIA ALL RAN OUT OF THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT.

[UpgradedWorld]

Someone once bought a lab coat and walked into a Westerm laboratory, and lied his way through until he got to where they stored the anthrax, stole some and mailed it to the senate.

[orangetj1]

way to advertise to the whole world how easy it is to get into one of them labs

[orangetj1]

that is so insecure lol they should be double sealed in those containers... if she droped one they would be all sccrewed
