The government released Foot and Mouth disease because farmers were becoming a powerful political bloc opposing the EU and threatening to reverse gun laws.

They released Foot and Mouth for a reason. And so it's just as bad either way. If there's security so lax you can walk in and steal this stuff. But again, I don't buy that because the government had the motive. The farmers were against the EU, fighting it, becoming a powerful political bloc. They were about to get gun laws reversed. They were about to defeat the hunting bands. They were the really active, intelligent, on-target group.

The British government intentionally released foot and mouth disease from the Porton Down Bioweapons Lab.

The British government actually released foot and mouth. In fact, two months before the outbreak, they had to admit they had contacted people, the agriculture departments in the counties, and said, get pyres ready, get lots of wood ready to burn piles of dead animals. They said, why? And they said, oh, well, you'll see. And then they admitted the foot and mouth got released from Porton Down Bioweapons Lab.

The 2001 foot and mouth outbreak in the UK started on a farm feeding livestock untreated waste, not from a bioweapons lab.

There's no truth to what Alex is saying, but interestingly, in the aftermath of the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak in the UK, there were a ton of rumors flying around about how it started. Subsequent investigations have shown that it started on a farm that was feeding its livestock untreated waste, but that didn't stop theories from flying around in the days immediately after the outbreak.
