5. I work in ag research
Homeland security warned us a couple years ago that al Queda was intent on disrupting the food supply by introducing exotic diseases and pests. This was according to documents supposedly found in Afghanistan. There have been several seizures of infected plant materials destined for the US since then. Right now there is a aphid that somehow made it way to the heartland that carries a virus that is playing havoc with soybeans. No one knows where it came from. In two years it has spread to several states. Mainstream media doesn't report this due to the panic that might result.
Thompson said nothing new.
