For some time I have been reporting on the global spate of zombie-like behaviour; it continues. The latest incident sounds very comical, and the media treat it partly as a novelty story. In April 2014 a woman walked into a McDonalds burger bar in Florida wearing nothing but thong panties. She then proceeded to vandalize the service area, pushing cash registers and displays off the counter, tipping over a refrigerator and eating ice cream directly from the dispenser. After that she walked into the kitchen and seized some French fries. The outlet's staff hid in a backroom during the woman's rampage, but after she had gone they saw the funny side of the whole thing and posted the CCTV footage onto LiveLeaks. The woman sexually assaulted a police officer while resisting arrest, but was taken to hospital following an examination by a doctor. She has been interviewed by the media and is called Sandra Suarez (Any relation to Luis? See background links). She claims to be suffering from a depressive disorder and has no memory of her actions. I don't believe the story that she became violent after one of the McDonalds staff rejected her proposition for sex; that's probably an embellishment. The LiveLeaks copy is uncensored (hence I won't post a link, but you can find it by searching) and has commentary by the laughing McDonalds employees; or ex-employees. They've all been sacked apparently. One of them says: "she reminds me of like the zombie apocalypse or something!" Same here. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/09/sandra-suarez-topless-woman-mcdonalds_n_5117548.html (Thanks to Samantha Mansi for bringing this to my attention). There are indeed distinct similarities between Ms Suarez' hysterical seizure and some of the other incidents that I bring up in the background links. The concerns I have for those other incidents I also feel for this one in Florida in April.

The construction of new National Bio and Agro-Defence Facility is currently going ahead, see background links. President Obama personally allocated an additional $300 million towards the project in the upcoming 2015 budget. This is on top of the original $440 million originally granted by Congress in 2013. The management of the facility will be shared by the US Department of Homeland Security and the US Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service, and Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Veterinary Services, see here for their official website: http://www.dhs.gov/national-bio-and-agro-defense-facility. The infamous "Building 257" will be among the services transferred directly from the old Plum Island compound to its new home in Manhattan, Kansas. The book Lab 257 by Michael Carroll postulates a link between activities on Plum Island and Lyme Disease. During the 1950's and 60's the USDA Animal Disease Centre played an important part in the American biological warfare programme which was cancelled by President Richard Nixon in 1970... supposedly. In 1975 in the town of Lyme, Connecticut USA, a large proportion of the population were struck down by a strange and previously unheard of illness that caused fever, fatigue, joint stiffness and neurological conditions; some people also came down with strange skin rashes that consisted of a central spot surrounded by a ring. The cause was isolated to be a type of bacteria called a spirochaete spread by the bite of a tick. Doctors treated what was quickly christened "Lyme Disease" with antibiotics. However many patients continued to suffer symptoms after the infection was said to have been cleared up, in some cases for years. These patients called their problem "chronic Lyme Disease" or Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome- PTLDS, but most doctors do not recognize that as an actual condition. Like Gulf War Syndrome or vaccine-related autism, it was labelled as a fringe and unscientific notion, even that old chestnut- a "conspiracy theory". Patients were instead diagnosed with syphilis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ALS, Lupus, psychological neuroses and similar complaints and were therefore given treatment that had no effect. In 2009 a film was released on this issue called Under Our Skin, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWFFiIZgr6U (Thanks to Ryan Carr for bringing this to my attention). This is a big subject that requires a dedicated article, but I know somebody who suffers from chronic Lyme so I'll have a word with her and keep you posted in a future update.
