"But now, the government has decided to bring back the vaccine because of fears that terrorists, or Iraq could use it as a weapon." CBS 60 Minutes on "The Most Dangerous Vaccine - Smallpox." December 11, 2002. Iraq for Christ's sake. You can't make this stuff up.

Yeah, totally, and what's this bullshit about the "Spanish flu." It was the "American flu." America's gift to the world, not unlike Ralph Baric's "SARS-CoV-2, the first documented case of the so-called "Spanish flu" was in Kansas in March 1918. The US military spread the virus quickly, with outbreaks reported in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and California. It was called the "Spanish flu" because it was first widely reported in Spain, which was neutral during World War I and unlike the US didn't censor news of the illness.
Pretty much like Greenland today, although the US with no hindrance from Denmark or Greenland already has control of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland and is the de facto dominant military force in Greenland so at first glance it's hard to see why Greenland is needed for national security.
However, Greenland is rich in rare earths lithium and cobalt and currently does have two significant rare earths projects with large reserves: private company Tanbreez Mining's Tanbreez project and Energy Transition Minerals' Kvanefjeld project. In terms of total reserves for rare earths projects globally, they placed first and third, respectively, with 28.2 million and 10.2 million metric tons of total rare earth oxides.
Greenland is known to have radioactive riches like uranium, too and the island's copper and feldspar deposits offer plenty for myriad industries.
Tapping of traditional hydrocarbons can also not be discounted via its coking coal deposits and potential for offshore oil and gas drilling. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland estimates that Greenland's west coast alone contains about 18 billion barrels of oil and 148 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered natural gas.
Greenland has valuable fishing resources, and the fishing industry is a vital part of the country's economy, accounting for over 90% of the country's exports. In 2021, the value of fish products exported from Greenland was DKK 4.4 billion.
Greenland has agricultural potential. The growing season has lengthened in southern Greenland, allowing for the expansion of existing crops and the introduction of new ones like apples, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and carrots.
Greenland has a diverse and unique, and still largely unexploited, wildlife population, including polar bears, musk oxen, reindeer, mountain hares, Arctic foxes, humpback whales, minke whales, sharks, birds, bearded seals, and ringed seals.
Greenland has tourism industry potential: Tourism is Greenland's second-largest export, after fishing. Cruise ship tourism is a major driver, with a 74% increase in passengers from 2022.
It's easy to see how seizing this wealth from the few people who own it at the point of a gun and redistributing the wealth to US elites, as well as making whaleskin hubcaps etc, although it may sound like "robber baron" style communism, is vital to US national security interests.

thank you for sharing this...good to know this aspect. what I do know is most who died was due to bacterial pneumonia and potential aspirin toxicity.
not any influenza
National Security.
Its for NATIONAL SECURITY PURPOSES.

Yes, we have to protect ourselves from the DOD. They are the threat to our national security. Not Iraq and the terrorists.
