I doubt anyone had the techincal know how to put small pox into blankets in the 1760's. And if the blankets somehow had small pox built into them wouldn't that cause the people who hadled the blankets to ship them and trade or give them away catch it also? Proven conspiracies? says who? I just see a list of assertions these things are true and no prove, or even evidence.Some conspiracies may HAVE A FOUNDATION IN FACT BUT THAT DOSN'T MEAN EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS TRUE, AND THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE JUST DISINFORMATION.

Smallpox is easily spread through touch. Thats why its so dangerous, its very contagious. If you use a blanket that someone with smallpox had, you are getting smallpox.

true but if governments didnt use so much dis information then we would maybe trust them a bit more?no.
and also the idea of bio and germ warfare has been with us for centuries
the tartars in the year 1346 used plague victims and catapulted the bodies into the city of kaffa to create an eppidemic..the result was that the defenders of that city fled and left the city to the tartars..theres no point in asking me for proof.. get curious enough to look up some of this stuff yourself, and dont just read one source for christs sake!!
