MarkAmesExiled TheWarNerd did you guys have something to do with this

Just sounds like a pox-ticking exercise to me

The US government is in need to be transparent in it’s actions, in particular when can affect directly Americans. Certainly most people, don’t know any information link to the Pentagon. weaponisation of insects and their possible release in populated areas.

You mean like Unit 731? in Japan? In the 1940s?

This is crap journalism. The guy is repeating a baseless conspiracy theory; just because he's an elected official doesn't mean you lose all responsibility to fact-check his BS.

sorry but the Pentagon doesn't need to do that-- ticks do it well enough themselves

Weaponised ticks? Nasty

Ticks all the boxes.

Oh wow 😮

and .... scene!

SafariWoman What...Whoa!!!

Ok I'll tell my friends that and count how many times I'll hear the words 'conspiracy theorist'..

Is this gov healthcare yet? Will we get some more Tuskegee experiments too?

Conspiracy theorists finally getting a break 👍

The tick, weaponized.

Is it April 1st again? Hey, we have f**ked up the environment for you through lack of emissions control, fracking, groundwater pollution and glyphosate and other pesticides... is this tick bothering you though? ClimateEmergency

Astonishing.

I live in the heart of Lyme country. Some of my best friends have been dealing with it for a long time. There are no words for how screwed up this would be.

'House orders Pentagon to review if it exposed Americans to weaponised ticks'

The review would have to assess the scope of the experiment and “whether any ticks or insects used in such experiment were released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design”. 🤔

Indeed, most recently of the large orange variety. Very small front feelers.

kenm77 I can't look, out of all the things to think , now this, anybody else getting a little 'Ticked off' ?

MK Ultra, Project Monarch, the Tuskegee, eugenics, Agent Orange, depleted uranium, the list goes on and on and on...

Let me guess, this Republican Congressman and his supporters are also anti-vaxxers, believe Area 51 hides alien remains, don’t believe the moon landings happened, think Obama was born in Kenya, and think Donald Trump is intelligent.

uae or israel mentioned? ı dont think so.

Horrific. I was bitten just over a week ago and I've pulled 3 off the dog so far this year in the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a military experiment. Who'd trust them...theu have a poor track record.

... oh that's nice. Americans

Americans should have realised those ticks had a right to bare arms

I did my part in reducing tick populations on my farm caught 45 ticks on my hogs one summer and was splitting wood when i found a mothertick with eggs. Along with the nearly 155 dangerous poisonous snakes all due in part to JoeBiden request to get the devil out of here

Gee, Louie!

Whaaaaat 😟

Looks like me every Friday night.
