CNN Anthrax Attacks Propaganda Exposed!

[MonkeySeeMonkeyDo]

I was watching Anderson Pooper 360 on CNN today and saw this segment about the 2001 Anthrax attacks. They are STILL saying it was all orchestrated by one white Catholic guy named Bruce Ivins   . They got this stupid woman on there claiming all kinds of crap about him saying he was a nut and did it ALONE. It's hilarious. I decided to put a little piece together showing how friggan obvious it is that it was a false flag.

By: ZCF
CNN recently just aired a new clip supposedly shedding new light on the alleged suspect of the Anthrax mailings that happened back in late 01' right after 9/11. A woman claiming to have known Bruce Ivins personally, spews all kinds of unsubstantiated claims about him being "insane, a drunk, a drug addict and having anger problems." This is typical character assassination of a patsy. Her demeanor in the interview is that of a liar. Bruce Ivins did not orchestrate the anthrax mailings. It took the FBI (Fucking Belligerent Idiots) SEVEN YEARS to finally target this guy as the lead suspect in 2008 even though they had no evidence against him. The anthrax mailings were the tail end of the 9-11 false flag operation, and were a concerted effort to scare the shit out of the American public so they support this fake war on terror out of abject fear. The Anthrax scare convinced Americans that they could die by simply opening their mail; therefore they need to run to the government for protection, right?

Bruce Ivins is nothing more than an opportune patsy who conveniently committed suicide right before he could be brought to trial. Since the FBI had no evidence against him they had to kill him (of course make it look like a suicide); then they could just officially blame him for the attack without proving it in a trial -- case closed. Typical intelligence work!

Here are some details about the anthrax attacks that make the accusations against Ivins completely ridiculous:


1) Bruce Ivins worked at Fort Detrick USAMRIID weapons lab and had a stable career as a micro biologist, vaccinologist, and senior bio-defense researcher.

2) He worked there for 28 years with no problems and had received a commendation from Fort Detrick lab for helping solve technical problems in the manufacture of an Anthrax vaccine.

3) Ivins initially AIDED the FBI in the anthrax investigation. He helped them by analyzing samples taken from the contaminated letters and the hoax letters.

4) Initially, the FBI's chief suspect in the Anthrax case was Dr. Steven Hatfill, a bio-weapons expert and CIA asset. Dr. Hatfill was discovered to have been taking CIPRO, the antidote to anthrax, for months leading up to the mailings.

5) In 2006, FBI director Robert Mueller abruptly CHANGED LEADERSHIP of the Anthrax investigation. IMMEDIATELY after the forced personnel change at the FBI, investigations into Hatfill abruptly ceased and Ivins was now targeted as the lead suspect. Clearly the honest original FBI investigators were swapped with co-opted agents tasked with framing Ivins and taking attention away from Steven Hatfill.

6) A patsy is born. Soon after this the FBI and media began painting Ivins as "insane, paranoid, delusional, suicidal and dangerous." The FBI supposedly releases emails written by Ivins and claims they show signs of anxiety, paranoia, depression.

7) On July 27, 2008 -- shortly before the FBI was to bring a case against Ivins to trial -- he apparently commits suicide by taking an overdose of Tylenol. NO AUTOPSY WAS ORDERED. LOL!

No charges are filed against Ivins after his death but the FBI assigns him full responsibility for the attacks. Case closed. LOL!

9) The letters used in the Anthrax mailings appear as if they were written by Muslim extremists, but Bruce Ivins was a Roman Catholic.


Why would a Roman Catholic with no motive whatsoever to perpetrate this outrageous act of terrorism, send out anthrax laced notes impersonating an Islamic terrorist? Answer: HE WOULDN'T! This is another false flag operation.

10) The U.S. government originally tried to blame Iraq and Al Qaeda as being behind the Anthrax mailings. The idiots who planned it didn't realize the type of Anthrax used was of the Ames strain which could be tacked back to only a select few American weapons labs.

Since the Al-Qaeda/Iraq accusation didn't fly too far the FBI decides an American Roman Catholic should be a sufficient patsy . Nobody will tell the difference

11) Israeli intelligence claimed to have witnessed Iraqi intelligence give Mohamed Atta a flask of anthrax at a meeting in Prague before 9-11. This meeting never took place, Israel made the whole thing up.

12) The anthrax letters were all mailed from locations in New Jersey and Florida; the same states where some of the alleged 9-11 hijackers lived prior to the attacks. Also the same two states in which Mossad agents were living NEXT DOOR to the patsy 9-11 hijackers. How did the perpetrators of the Anthrax false flag know to send the letters from these locations? Gee since Israel was living next to the said hijackers and since Israel lied and said that Atta got anthrax from Iraqi intelligence it kind of looks like Israel might have been the ones behind this frame up doesn't it?

13) A Zionist Jew named Dr. Philip Zack had been fired from USAMRIID back in 1991 for his harassment of an Arab co-worker named Dr. Assad. Zack also stole Anthrax from the lab back in 1992. He was a "person of interest" in the 2001 Anthrax case but the FBI doesn't follow up on it even though he had previously stolen Anthrax from the same lab and had shown his utter racist contempt for his Arab co-worker. That would perfectly explain why the Anthrax letters look like they were written by Muslims. Because Zionist Zack wrote them and tried to frame his former Egyptian co-worker Dr. Assad.

Qui Bono?

Who benefited from the Anthrax scare? Obviously not Muslims or Mr. Ivins. It was a horribly botched Mossad-CIA false flag operation used to incite more fear of terrorism after 9-11 and continue to paralyze the nation in fear so they bow down and accept all the U.S. governments wishes (i.e. Massively escalating the defense budget and going to war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel).

Nice summary Monkey See, MD. Just to put a fine point on it:
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2008 ... the-patsy/

In September 2001 – before the news of the anthrax letters broke, but after they had been postmarked – a letter addressed to the "Town of Quantico police" was received that accused Assaad of being a terrorist who was planning to wage biological warfare against the U.S. on American soil. As the first anthrax letters were opened, Assaad got a call from the FBI. Agent Gregory Leylegian wanted to have a little talk with him.

...As the agent read the accusing letter aloud, one thing became readily apparent: the Camel Club was getting its revenge.

Whatever the motives of the Quantico letter's author, one fact seems fairly obvious: whoever wrote it very likely had foreknowledge of the anthrax attacks. Yet all attempts to examine this vital piece of evidence have been deflected by the FBI. ....

[T]he Hartford Courant... [uncovered] the chaotic and dangerous conditions that existed at Ft. Detrick for years, as well as the victimization of Assaad. One Courant story in particular... detailed the wide variety of pathogens the facility lost track of over the years – including one developed by U.S. scientists known simply as "Pathogen X" .... In exposing this laxity, the Courant reported an incident in which a former employee, Dr. Philip Zack, was videotaped sneaking into the supposedly secured facility where pathogens were stored, assisted by his "good friend" Dr. Marian Rippy. They were both involved in conducting unauthorized experiments, according to Dolan and Altimari, and were charter members of the Camel Club. Indeed, the reason for Zack's departure reportedly had much to do with his constant harassment of Assaad.

1) The timing of the Quantico letter implicates its author.
2) The author of the letter is very likely Zack because it attempts to implicate Assad.
3) Zack was videotaped illegally entering the facility where the pathogens were stored.

That's very strong circumstantial evidence. Any investigation would have Zack as a primary suspect.

[MonkeySeeMonkeyDo]

Great point Chris. I actually wasn't aware of that one. Looking at this evidence a fucking two year old could deduce that Dr. Zack did it. The FBI is a complete joke of a federal agency and should be wiped off the map -- abolished forever.

[CrackSmokeRepublican]

What I don't understand is how they connected Ivins to the Florida Anthrax cases at the Sun Media, AMI company in Boca Raton, FL?  Connecting any of the "Suspects" to this can't be done. The FBI is just a "Jew Stooges" organization at this point.

 As for Ivins, the FBI says he hated "NYC" which looks like a total Jew Shilling setup and deflection.  This case has and has had "JEW Intelligence" plant and cover up all over it since the first letters.  

The letters were post marked a week after the 9/11 attacks.  Note the double tracings of the letters "A-T-T" in the pic at the link. Whoever mailed it tried to pin it on "ATTA" who was dead at the time of mailing.  This is a Jew Hit Job  pure and simple --  and ZACK is Jew Suspect #1.

How in the world of reason can the Anthrax murders be mixed and mismatched with motives between "Al-Queda", "Atta-9/11 Hijackers", "Anti-Democrat US Senators (Daschle, Leahy)", "Anti-Brokaw TV Newsanchors",  and "Anti-New York" Lab Doctors...while deflecting blame from a Zionist Weapons Grade Anthrax maker and handler "Dr. Zack" is simply JEWISH Disinfo. The Targets and Suspects cannot be logically connected unless a False Flag Jew-Zionist group is executing the crimes, pure and simple.  Consequently, this has NeoCon Jew written all over it.

This is "child" simple at this point when the motive, means, opportunity and logistics are examined. It all points to the criminal JEW ZACK. (I won't call him "Dr.")

This article has some facts but has a "Muslim terrorists" did it angle. Useful though:
http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/Florida.html

Ask yourself "Is this Ivins mailing this? -- Hell No! Impossible--this is Jew.
--------------

"THE DOODLING TERRORIST"

Is it just a coincidence that Atta is a name that can be spelled with just As and Ts?  People who believe al Qaeda was behind he mailing sometimes point that out.  The fact that most of the A's and T's were traced over cannot be denied.  Anyone can see it.  But what does it mean?  Atta had been dead for a week by the time of the first mailing.  But he was in the news every day and on the minds of everyone following the unfolding details of his journey to the World Trade Center.  It was probably on the mind of the scientist preparing the letters - and, if he used someone else to actually write the letters, on the mind of that person, too.

Whoever traced over those As and Ts doesn't appear to have done it consciously.  If he had, he wouldn't have traced over more than two of the Ts.  Two would have been enough.  And the tracing would have been more deliberate, not as casual and careless as it appears.  The tracing over letters appears to be simple doodling.

It seems very odd that a man about to commit a crime would doodle on such a letter.  That's one of the many reasons I believe that someone else did the actual writing.  The doodling by tracing over letters can be easily explained if someone had just copied the letter from some other format and was waiting for the letter to be examined by the culprit.  More details are on the Handwriting Page.  There undoubtedly could be many other reasons for the retracing of those two particular letters of the alphabet.  I just can't think of any.

Anthrax suspected doctor hated New York

    * By Todd Venzia
    * From: NewsCore
    * February 21, 2010 2:28AM


THE mad scientist believed to be behind the deadly 2001 anthrax-letter attacks put a coded message in his missives.

The attacks, which killed five people and sickened several workers at the New York Post, included code that spelled out his hatred for the city according to a federal report, the New York Post reported today.

As the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officially closed its investigation into the anthrax case yesterday, the feds said their prime suspect, Dr Bruce Ivins - who killed himself in 2008 as the feds were about to charge him - thought the Big Apple was a rotten place and included the message "FNY" in his letters to New York media organisations.

"With respect to 'FNY,' according to numerous witnesses who knew him well . . . Dr Ivins had a deep hatred for New York," investigators wrote in a report released yesterday.

The report called the "FNY" message a "verbal assault on New York" and recalled an anecdote typical of Ivins' disdain.

"In the aftermath of 9/11, Dr Ivins sent [a former colleague] an e-mail where he essentially accused 'typical' New Yorkers of overplaying the tragedy and seeking attention, wondering 'what about those folks in Oklahoma City, they deserve sympathy too', " the report said.

Ivins also harboured a hatred for the Yankees. (TOTAL PROPAGANDA...)

"Dr Ivins strongly associated [the former colleague] with New York," the report said. "His communications with her . . . in the years that followed were replete with references to the New York Yankees, her favorite baseball team, not always in the kindest of terms."

In the missives to The Post and former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, Ivins bolded some characters in the text. Investigators believe the sets of letters - 'TTT AAT TAT" - correspond to the three-letter designations for three kinds of amino acid "codons" in DNA.

These acids also have single letter designations, that can spell out "FNY." They can also spell out "PAT," the name of a woman in his lab he had a crush on.

Also the "Bush" revenge motive, aided by the Jewish Anthrax Criminals like Zack, against the The National Enquirer for the pics of the Boozing Bush daughters:

http://mindprod.com/politics/anthrax.html
----------

Investigators believe seven letters containing anthrax spores were mailed. Four of the seven are thought to have been mailed on the same day and addressed to major media outlets in New York City: ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, and the New York Post. Of these, only the NBC and New York Post letters were recovered. Letters believed to be addressed to ABC News and CBS News offices caused two persons to develop anthrax infections. One was a seven-month-old boy brought in by his mother, a producer at ABC News; the other was an assistant to Dan Rather at CBS. These letters were never found.

The two recovered letters did not have a return address but were postmarked 2001-09-18 in Trenton, New Jersey. They contained identical messages tending to indicate that the perpetrators were Islamic terrorists. The notes read, "09-11-01, THIS IS NEXT, TAKE PENACILIN NOW, DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO ISRAEL, ALLAH IS GREAT."

It is also believed an anthrax-laced letter was mailed to the National Enquirer.

Interestingly, hoax letters claiming to contain anthrax were mailed days later from St. Petersburg, Florida. However, instead of anthrax spores, these letters contained a harmless substance described by some as looking like talcum powder. One of these hoax letters was again addressed to NBC News in New York City. In addition, Judith Miller, the author of a book on bio-terrorism and a reporter on the Middle East for the New York Times, received an anthrax hoax letter at her office. The St. Petersburg Times and Fox News also received similar hoax letters.

The mailing of the hoax letters cannot be considered the work of a copycat. For example, the NBC News hoax letter was mailed on September 20. This would have been two days after the NBC News letter containing anthrax was mailed from Trenton, New Jersey. The remaining hoax letters were mailed between October 5 and 9. News reports naming media outlets that received the original anthrax letters were on October 12 and 13. A copycat mailer could have acted only after October 12, when the public first became aware of the media anthrax letters. The apparent purpose of mailing the hoax letters was to foster the anthrax scare and create a media frenzy.

The mailings of anthrax-laced letters from New Jersey and the Florida hoax letters that followed were probably coordinated. The mailing sites of Trenton, New Jersey and St. Petersburg, Florida were chosen, perhaps, to emphasize an Arab or Islamic connection in the minds of Americans. Trenton is the home of a large Arab-American community. Also, several of the September 11 hijackers had lived in both areas. The mailers of the anthrax and hoax letters wanted the public to think that remnants of al-Qaeda were still around and active.

However, the mailing of the anthrax letters shows a degree of media savvy that would be unusual for foreign Islamic terrorists. The persons who sent the letters knew which media outlets would have the greatest influence on the public. Even today, with the advent of cable and satellite television, the three major television broadcast networks remain as the primary source of news for most Americans. The New York Post and the National Enquirer are tabloid papers and were likely chosen for their sensational headlines. Of all the papers in New York City, the New York Post would have screamed the loudest concerning the threat from Islamic terrorists. For Americans who don't follow the news, the National Enquirer, with its presence at every checkout stand in America, would convey the message. The desired effect in choosing these media outlets was to alarm the public and to remind them these terrorists wanted to destroy both America and Israel.

But only five of the seven anthrax letters were sent to media outlets. The remaining two were addressed to members of the United States Senate. These letters were posted on Tuesday, October 9, exactly three weeks from the first anthrax mailings, and four weeks from September 11. The letters were addressed to two of America's most liberal Democrat Senators: Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

............

A team of scientists at the Fort Detrick lab opened the Leahy letter on December 5. This letter also contained a very fine powder which was easily made airborne. The Leahy letter had particles that were smaller and more uniform in size compared to the Daschle letter. This made the anthrax spores in the Leahy letter even deadlier: Smaller spores of a uniform size have a better chance of entering the respiratory system and causing death.

It was reported the quality of the anthrax spores found in the Leahy letter surpassed previously known state-sponsored bio-weapons programs. According to Newsweek, "The Leahy anthrax" was coated with a chemical compound unknown to experts who have worked in the field for years; the coating matches no known anthrax samples ever recovered from biological-weapons producers anywhere in the world, including Iraq and the former Soviet Union." The anthrax in the Leahy letter has proven to be a superior product. Bio-defense experts assisting the FBI have so far been unable to duplicate the anthrax material through any reverse engineering processes. Investigators are left with the uncertain choice of deciding if this was the work of a lone brilliant scientist-or a state-sponsored bio-weapons program.

The letters were post marked a week after the 9/11 attacks.  Note the double tracings of the letters "A-T-T" in the pic at the link. Whoever mailed it tried to pin it on "ATTA" who was dead at the time of mailing.  This is a Jew Hit Job  pure and simple --  and ZACK is Jew Suspect #1.

I agree CSR. Here is the idiotic FBI explanation of the coding in the fake Al Qaeda letters...


Clearly "ATTA" is what the coding was emphasizing... which is supposed to be some sort of farewell from Mohammed Atta. The real perpetrators wanted to pin the whole thing on Atta and Iraq -- it all makes sense. The coding, timing of the letters, locations they were sent from (Florida, New Jersey); same locations where Atta and other Arab patsies were living, etc... It's a big frame up gone wrong.

Here is another good page on it:
http://www.anthraxwar.com/1/?p=538

It makes perfect sence that Atta was the original guy that was going to be blamed for the Anthrax attacks and it fits in PEREFECTLY with the "Iraq gave Atta anthrax in Prague" story which turned out to be Mossad bullshit. Mossad, and its sayan Mr. Zack were behind this along with the CIA and its asset Steven Hatfill. Another good point is the fact that Jerome Hauer the "bio-terrorism expert" was the guy who advised the WhiteHouse to go on the anthrax antidote CIPRO a month before the Anthrax mailings. So clearly he had foreknowledge of the mailings. Hauer was also the managing director of KROLL which ran the WTC security since 93', and he also went on TV on 9-11 chanting "Bin Laden did it" and when asked if explosives could have been involved in bringing down the towers he said NO "it was the impact of the planes" and the "intense heat" from the "jet fuel". This criminal Khazar is suspect #1 in the crime of 9-11, everything leads back to Hauer.

Interesting that Hauer's wikipedia entry has been drastically edited since I last saw it. Everything about his family history has been removed. They took out everything about him being born into a Jewish-Zionist family and that his mother was a leading Zionist of the Hadassah "daughters of Zion" group in New York. Strange....

[LordLindsey]

I've been working on other issues for a while now, but I need to bring something to light that it seems that no on else here *or really anyone else in general* remembers or even REALIZES:

I personally saw a news segment where medical witnesses and pharmacy workers were interviewed and said that Atta and a couple of other phoney patsies had come to his pharmacy for Cipro, OR that Cipro was prescribed while at some hospital; either way I remember the drug was a very big issue because it was the main drug used against anthrax.  I SWEAR TO GOD THAT THIS WAS BROADCAST ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ANTHRAX SITUATION.  The pharmacist, if my memory is correct, also said that there was evidence that the men had anthrax-style lesions, but I am not 100% certain of that as I am about the report in-general.  It is critical to note that NOTHING more was ever said about or done with this information as far as I know.

This is a very important piece of information that someone who has Lexis-Nexus can use to open-up a REAL can-of-worms because I know what I saw and the implication here, people, is that the weakest link in this whole chain are the people who tried to make themselves eye-witnesses to Atta and gang being the ones behind this anthrax bullshit but because the story WAS such absolute bullshit, not even "the people" would believe it...and so it disappeared into the memory hole.

Please post the whole article, but here is the information about the "LEGEND" that was being created but never went anywhere:

"Then there is the report of pharmacist Gregg Chatterton in Delray Beach, Fla. He told investigators that two of the 9/11 hijackers came into his store, Huber Drugs, looking for medication to treat irritations on Mohamed Atta's hands. Chatterton, whose pharmacy is not far from American Media International's headquarters, recalled that Atta said, "My hands – my hands burn; they are itching.""

In the video a pharmacist filled a prescription for Cipro, so the whole incident is not here; I VIVIDLY REMEMBER THAT CIPRO WAS PRESCRIBED BECAUSE THAT WAS THE PROOF THAT ATTA AND GANG WERE INFECTED WITH THE ANTHRAX BACTERIUM.  What is truly pitiful is that there is REAL proof/evidence of Lt. Col. Philip Zack *JEWISH* was the man responsible for all of this, and yet this shill Farah is trying to say that IRAQ was responsible!

Leahy: Anthrax Suspect Did Not Act Alone

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the of Senate Judiciary Committee said Wednesday he does not believe that Dr. Bruce Ivins acted alone in the deadly 2001 anthrax attacks. Sen. Patrick Leahy was one of the targets of the lethal anthrax-laced letters that killed five and sickened 17 in fall 2001.

At a hearing in front of his committee, the Vermont Democrat told FBI Director Robert Mueller that he thinks other people must have been involved.

Leahy did not say why he believed Ivins had help and he also cast doubt that the Army scientist was the attacker in the first place.

"If he is the one who sent the letter, I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he is the only person involved in this attack on Congress and the American people. I do not believe that at all," Leahy said.

He added: "I believe there are others involved, either as accessories before or accessories after the fact. I believe that there are others out there, I believe there are others who could be charged with murder. I just want you to know how I feel about it, as one of the people who was aimed at in the attack."

Mueller did not directly contradict Leahy, saying "I understand that concern."

Still, Mueller maintained the Justice Department's view that Ivins was the mastermind and sole attacker.

"In the investigation to date, we have looked at every lead and followed every lead to determine whether anybody else was involved, and we will continue to do so," Mueller told Leahy. "And even if the case does become closed, if we receive additional evidence, indicating the participation of any additional person, we certainly would pursue that."

Story continues below
The Justice Department and FBI have yet to close the case on the "Amerithrax" investigation after declaring Ivins its only suspect last month. Ivins killed himself in July after learning that prosecutors were preparing to indict him.

Republicans shared Leahy's doubts surrounding the case.

Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top GOP member of the panel, said he had problems with some of the evidence against Ivins that has been made public. In a testy exchange with Mueller, he also demanded to have a say in selecting scientists who will be performing an independent review of the DNA fingerprinting analysis of the anthrax that lies at the heart of the government's case.

The review by the National Academy of Sciences will be made up of private scientists who did not assist the FBI in the investigation, and could take up to 18 months to complete. Mueller said he would consider allowing the Judiciary Committee to suggest scientists, but noted that the NAS and Justice Department likely would have to agree to it.

"What's there to consider, Director Mueller?" Specter said. "We'd like to have the authority to name some people there to be sure of its objectivity. We're not interlopers here. This is an oversight matter. What's there to consider?"

Mueller said "to the extent that the rules of the science allow that to happen, I have no objection to that request."

"Well, that's not far enough," Specter snapped.

NAS spokesman William Kearney said the organization would "welcome input on potential committee members" from Congress, federal agencies, scientific community and the general public. Still, all suggestions must be approved by the NAS president, Kearney said.

Sitting in the front row of the audience at the Senate hearing was Dr. Steven Hatfill, another Army scientist who for years was wrongly accused of orchestrating the attacks. The Justice Department in June settled a $5.8 million lawsuit with Hatfill, who claimed his privacy rights were violated by officials speaking with reporters about the case.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a longtime skeptic of the anthrax investigation, grilled Mueller on how the FBI could have focused on Hatfill for years when investigators as early as 2002 had lab records showing Ivins was conducting late-night research in the days immediately before the deadly letters were mailed.

"Shouldn't the FBI apologize to Dr. Hatfill?" Grassley asked. "Please explain how chasing an innocent man for four years was not a mistake, as you said it was not a mistake."

Mueller said the FBI investigators acted appropriately throughout the case _ based on the information they had at any given time.

Hatfill, smiling, left the hearing after Grassley's questions.

"1.  In June of 2001, two men visited the emergency room of Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  One of them was Ahmed Alhaznawi, who piloted the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.  Dr. Christos Tsonas treated Alhaznawi for an ugly, dark lesion on his leg.

2.  After September 11, when federal investigators found the medicine among the Alhaznawi's possessions, Dr. Tsonas was question (in October, after anthrax became a hot subject in the news, particularly in Florida).  Dr. Tsonas reviewed the case and decided that the lesion "was consistent with cutaneous anthrax.""

That "medicine" was Cipro.

Again, could someone please post this whole article...

Keep in mind with the Israeli tracking team that close, they must have known about the Anthrax, or at least planted it on these guys. In other words, Anthrax letters showed up because Israeli Talpiot Intelligence teams were handling this stuff before and after 9/11. They could have "dusted" the "Arabs". In fact this could have been the agent to kill them after which the Jew Talpiot Teams dumped the bodies in the Florida Swamps :

The first seeding of 9-11 'anthrax attack' in public consciousness probably started with this 1997 event when a package HOAX was delivered to the Washington DC B'nai B'rith headquarters, making the news:
>> http://www.cnn.com/US/9704/24/bnai.brit ... index.html   The package contained a broken lab dish labeled 'bacillus anthracis' with red material inside.
Around this time, the FDA was shutting down the Lansing Michigan (MBPI) anthrax vaccine operations, the only licensed biodefense maker of the vaccine. Before it reopened, ownership changed hands from the state of Michigan to the new company BioPort, created expressly for the changover --except BioPort became a business entity back in 1995 according to journalist Alex Constantine.
Who's Alex Constantine? --a musician-turned-journalist after his fascination with a satanic ritual murder case in San Francisco, making a name for himself as a 9-11 investigator. He blames the neo-Nazis within the US government and dismisses the involvement of Jews. Here's an interview, in the archives: http://www.givemesometruth.info . Around minute 54 he says that lots of people had foreknowledge of the 9-11 attacks and someone called him a week in advance with a warning. The guy lives in Los Angeles apparently. He spun an early version of events in an article called "Project Anthrax".
So, Constantine says that he got the list of BioPort's directors from their website back in 2002.
This post on BioPort opens with a dual account of BioPort's founding: http://citizen2009.wordpress.com/bioport/, noting that Israeli IDF personnel, Yoav Stern and Zivi Nedivi, are founders. Included are other companies involving these men and their connections to the Israeli Technology Acquisition Corp., Kellstrom (Boeing aircraft parts distributor) and Bogen Communications.

The official case of the 2001 Anthrax attacks was closed in 2009. The solitary prime suspect, Dr. Bruce E. Ivins, was dead of "apparent suicide" (July29), reported on August 1 of 2008 just as he was about to be indicted on charges. http://articles.latimes.com/aug/01/nation/na-anthrax1

Retrospective of the post-9-11 anthrax attacks, which killed 5 Americans:
The First Victim
Oct. 05, 2001 – "Bob Stevens, 63, photo editor, the Sun, American Media, Boca Raton, Fla. Contracted inhalation anthrax. Died Oct. 5. Unknown how he became infected" http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/new ... tacks.html
Other reports ran stories that Bob had been in North Carolina, visiting Duke University on Sept 27 and left because he didn't feel well. It's unclear how many days Stevens spent in N.C. or on which day he became sick, but on Oct.1, he was in the hospital in Lantana, Florida. On October 2 he lapsed into a coma and died three days later on (Friday) the 5th. Although the medical confirmation of anthrax infection came on Monday October 1, no investigation was initiated until Stevens died on Friday Oct.5. Bob's fellow employees, who left the offices of AMI on that Friday,  never returned to the building. The account of AMI newspaper archivist Maria Peters indicates that the building housed the only collection of backissues known to exist –from the 1950s forward; hardcopies of the National Enquirer, Star, Globe, Sun, Examiner, etc– which were in the process of transcription to computer files for which employees had no back-up.
A secondhand account is given about what happened inside the AMI offices :http://www.ibiblio.org/slanews/nln/nln02/winter/index.htm describing the recollection of Maria Peters.
 
Bob worked at American Media Inc., 4950 Communication Ave, #100, Boca Raton, FL 33431, very close (walking distance) to the Boca Raton Airport on the north side of the 95 http://www.mapquest.com/maps?address=31 ... country=US
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Media,_Inc.
[wikipedia] "The modern American Media came into being after Generoso Pope Jr. [Gene] , longtime owner of The National Enquirer, died in 1988, and his tabloids came under new ownership. American tabloids began consolidating in 1990, when American Media bought Star from Rupert Murdoch. The purchase of Globe Communications (owner of the Globe and the National Examiner) followed nine years later.
[from the hyperlink]... [MIT graduate] Pope worked for the CIA's psychological warfare unit ...Pope moved the Enquirer from New York to Lantana, Florida in 1971. By the time of Pope's death, his GP Group, in addition to The National Enquirer, included Weekly World News, and a magazine distributor, Distribution Services Inc. It was sold in 1989 by his heirs to the company that would become American Media."...
 
[hyperlink on Pope's widow 'Lois'] "About a year after his death, and according to the terms of Pope's will, the executors of his estate, including former Secretary of Commerce, Pete Peterson [Blackstone Group] arranged to put the Enquirer and its sister publications up for sale. The company was bought in a closed auction by the Macfadden Publishing and Boston Ventures partnership for $412 million. [American Media was sold in 1999 to the investment group Evercore Partners. The Macfadden trade titles were sold to VNU the same year; Dutch multinational VNU http://www.answers.com/topic/vnu-n-v ,in 1999 VNU acquired The Nielsen Company, famed for market research intelligence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_Company
...In the field of medical research, the Lois Pope LIFE Foundation is the driving force behind the Lois Pope LIFE Center in Florida, the top neurological research facility in the world."

AMI Chief Executive David Pecker told CNN he thought his company was targeted because of its name. "I think this is an attack against America. The World Trade Center was attacked, the Pentagon was attacked, and American Media was attacked, and I think this was the first bio-terrorism attack in United States," Pecker said.

 Recently, overwhelming debt appears to be forcing AMI out of business, or into the hands of its creditors. ""It looks like a major-league collapse of the Pecker empire," said one industry executive."  http://mediawiredaily.com/2006/06/david ... uscle.html

Additional anthrax activity

Nov 23 – "Chilean and U.S. officials confirmed the first reported case of a deadly strain of the bacteria in mail outside the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta confirmed on Thursday that a letter sent from Switzerland to Chile was tainted with anthrax. The letter had been sent to Dr. Antonio Banfi, a pediatrician at a children's hospital in Santiago."

[Jenny Lake]

It looks like American Media Inc. had all the connections and technology through its owners to set up the attacks. So is Philip Zack just another diversion too?
 
American Media Inc.'s building was new in 1999. They moved over to Boca Raton from the old National Inquirer site in Lantana. Still, even in a brand new building, they renovated before the death of Bob Stevens. AMI had a separate building for administration and accounting.
       
http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/misc2.html This link is a long stream of 'anthrax' news from various sources, supplying the cut below:
Building Security ....

"The newly renovated, 63,000-square-foot building has restricted access. All visitors are buzzed in by one of the company's 25-member security force. The force consists of part-time, off-duty police officers and retired full-time ones, Ostaszewski said. Visitors are issued high-tech passes that bleed through red ink after 24 hours to render them worthless. Once inside, as many as 10 cameras pan for any suspicious activity. "It's not the Pentagon, but it is real good system," Ostaszewski said."...."

And Bob came home sick from his North Carolina trip visiting Duke U. among other places. Anthrax is not contagious --requires direct contact with spores. After he died on Friday and the building went into full quarantine, at first the investigators said only his computer keyboard tested positive for anthrax spores. Later, they said it was in the mailroom too, in a canvas postal bin....after an AMI mailroom worker was hospitalized for pneumonia....
 

Oct-01-2001 " (Debora Mackenzie for New Scientist) A 63-year-old resident of Lantana, Florida, developed headache and fever on Sunday while visiting Duke University in North Carolina. Doctors testing for meningitis in Florida found anthrax bacilli in his spinal fluid.  

An X-ray revealed an enlarged space under the breastbone. This is unique to the pneumonic form of anthrax, which is almost invariably fatal if antibiotic treatment begins after symptoms start. The US Centers for Disease Control confirmed the diagnosis on Thursday.

"No one has any idea where this came from," says Martin Hugh-Jones of Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, head of the World Health Organisation's working group on anthrax." http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/misc2.html

 

--According to my ranging around, anthrax "in the field" is easy enough to get that any microbiology student can do it.  Spores are probably ubiquitous and stay viable for 10 years, so they say. The closest I've gotten to an original journalistic source that insists "only 20 or so labs" in the US would have a weaponized Ames Strain is Jay Edward Epstein. The evidence for weaponized anthrax, as opposed to processed-for-study anthrax, is dependent on the structure of the powder, not the biochemical analysis. A general search on laboratory milling machines turns up commonly available equipment that promises identical results to the 'weaponized' anthrax.

-- A story that Dugway Proving Grounds was running 'anthrax attack' war games before/during 9-11 is part of the record.

Evercore, Blackstone, Swine flu and Big Pharma http://www.lewrockwell.com/rajiva/rajiva25.1.html

Both Blackstone and Evercore have powerful ties to big pharma.

I. Blackstone:

Blackstone entered the huge Indian drug market in 2006, buying shares in Emcure, which produces antiretroviral drugs, antiviruses and antibiotics. Besides pharmaceuticals, Blackstone is also heavily invested in hospitals, nursing homes, health insurance and health care packaging, among other things. So while drug companies don't want Americans buying cheaper generic drugs abroad, companies like Blackstone are investing in foreign drug companies and profiting.

II. Evercore:

Evercore, which Altman now heads, is a big player in the drug industry too.

In July (just one month after swine-flu was declared a pandemic) Evercore concluded its second multi-billion dollar health care deal of this year when it advised leading vaccine maker Sanofi-Aventis (SASY. PA) in its acquisition of the other 50% of Merial from joint owner, Merck. Evercore's previous multi-billion dollar deal was advising Wyeth on its acquisition by Pfizer, the biggest pharma deal of the year when it took place.

Sanofi-Aventis is described as the world's leading flu vaccine maker and is rushing to create a swine-flu vaccine that it began testing on August 6.

Industry analysts have noted that sales of swine-flu vaccine will add billions of dollars to drug company revenues in 2009 and 2010. ("Sanofi-Aventis Starts Swine Flu Shot Trials," Reuters, August 7, 2009).

Meanwhile, the Sanofi-Aventis and Pfizer deals have pushed Evercore ahead of Credit Suisse in volume of mergers & acquisitions in US rankings.

Both deals were put through by Altman and a former Credit Suisse banker who joined Evercore two years ago, after concluding some of the decade's biggest health-care deals for clients like Johnson & Johnson, Schering-Plough, Wyeth, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche Holding and Teva Pharmaceutical.

Former AMI building declared free of anthrax contamination

By Gretel Sarmiento, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

Thursday, February 08, 2007

WEST PALM BEACH — Federal environmental experts have concluded that the former American Media Inc. building in Boca Raton has been cleared of the anthrax spores that killed a photo editor more than five years ago and shuttered the tabloid publisher's headquarters.

The 160-page report was sent to Dr. Jean Malecki, director of the Palm Beach County Health Department. She will review it and decide by next week whether the building, which she ordered closed on Oct. 10, 2001, can reopen.

Malecki did not indicate Wednesday what her decision would be, but her reaction after getting the positive assessment was clear.

"It was a relief," she said. "It's been five years of my life. But it will be over soon, I guarantee it."

The report's conclusion: "In summary, based in the information available, the technical working group concludes that the measures used to treat and remove B. anthracis at the former AMI building at 5401 Broken Sound Blvd. were successful.

"The technical working group believes that the building can be safely reoccupied, normal working activities resumed, and building contents reused."
....

BioONE, a fumigation company associated with former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, fumigated the three-story facility with chlorine dioxide in July 2004. But the building remained closed when BioONE refused to release the cleanup data, claiming the building's owner, David Rustine, did not renew its contract or pay for the fumigation efforts.

Rustine, who paid only $40,000 for a contaminated building worth $3.8 million, hired MARCOR Remediation to finish cleaning the boxes of AMI materials in 2005. This past November, MARCOR began the final cleanup and sampling to ensure all spores had been killed.

[LordLindsey]

Look, I have to say that we need to stop wasting our time with apparent red-herrings and ludicrous "speculation" about tabloids being responsible for the anthrax attacks, and continue to focus on the evidence that people don't know or don't remember to present a convincing case that the same people who were responsible for 911 were ALSO responsible for this attack...

and I do NOT mean those wily A-RABS.

For anyone who doesn't understand what I mean by RED-HERRINGS and LUDICROUS "SPECULATION" here is precisely what I mean so that there is no confusion:

Jennifer Lake's quote as follows:  "It looks like American Media Inc. had all the connections and technology through its owners to set up the attacks. So is Philip Zack just another diversion too?"

LINDSEY

NB:  This is just embarrassing and takes away from the heart of the reason that this Topic was begun in the FIRST PLACE.

[Jenny Lake]

Philip Zack is "low-hanging fruit". Shouldn't we question that?

What happened to Zack? Anybody know? In my reading about him, I learned that it was fairly common for Ft. Detrick researchers to come back into secured buildings after their assignments were curtailed --they just walked in, took 'material' from the labs and left. So there would have to be others over the years 'on camera' who did the same as Zack. Anyone tracked his movements during 2001? Where is he now? Does anyone think Zack could have worked alone and pulled off the attacks? Has any 'truth' researcher or official investigator made progress with indictable evidence about Zack since 2001, or is this a situation of going nowhere? Does anyone here at TIU think it's a RED HERRING to ASK QUESTIONS about the first victim and the contaminated building he worked in and seek to answer them since this is an unsolved crime on which the authorities have closed-the-book?  

One of the problems with the anthrax attacks is that the various 'letters' obviously contained powders of different types. The supposed letter that exposed AMI editor Bob Stevens was never found, but the 'hearsay' of coworkers recalled a strange fan letter to Jennifer Lopez that came weeks before his death (2 weeks? 3 weeks?) with a Star-of-David pendant and white powder inside. It sounded like the letter was opened in an office area and shared among staff, ending up in a waste can....so the trail of contamination inside the building has relevance considering that no letter existed by the time of the investigation.

...and here we are back at the site of the AMI building. BioONE was more than 'associated' with "Giuliani :

http://www.giulianipartners.com/press_b ... 11304.aspx

January 13, 2004 - Boca Raton, FL. Flanked by Rudolph W. Giuliani, Chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLC, and John Y. Mason, President and CEO of Sabre Technical Services LLC, David Rustine, President of Crown Companies and the new owner of the American Media Inc. (AMI) building announced today that Bio·ONE™ has been selected to decontaminate and remediate the building –– site of the first recognized anthrax incident in 2001.

""Bio·ONE has unique chlorine dioxide-based technology and experience cleaning-up anthrax-contaminated buildings with no residual toxicity. This made them the clear choice,"" said Rustine.

Sabre Technical Services, a leader in biological and chemical remediation technology and services, has teamed with Giuliani Partners, a management consulting firm with extensive experience in security, emergency preparedness and response, as well as crisis management, to create Bio·ONE Solutions LLC. Bio·ONE is a joint venture that will work to enhance the current technology and to expand the uses of chlorine dioxide as a tool for dealing with biological and chemical incidents, as well as develop new beneficial public and commercial applications. The new joint venture will be headquartered in the remediated AMI building.

 
Valuable things went missing during the clean-up. Even Elvis's picture left the building:

 
http://www.irishelvisfanclub.com/last_photo.htm

David Rustine, the Boca Raton developer who inherited millions of celebrity photos when he bought the tabloid's contaminated headquarters for $40,000 in 2003 says he suspects the 1977 photo was snatched by a man who teamed with former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giulianai to clean the building.

[Jenny Lake]

Who else had motive? We should expand our knowledge base with all the pertinent questions...

http://www.elvispresley.dk/news.asp?pag ... ews_id=146
 "AMI was paid millions by its insurer for its archive of prints and photographs before Rustine bought the $3.8 million building for a song. In the case of the Elvis photo, reports indicate it was owned by AMI."

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/ ... elvis.html
"The Elvis Photo was destroyed," say the attorneys representing a New York man who is accused of snatching the picture from the anthrax-tainted former headquarters of the National Enquirer."..."As evidence that the photo was destroyed, Mason's attorneys included a grainy picture of a man wearing a white hooded jumpsuit and a gas mask. The man, whom they identify as tabloid in-house counsel Daniel Rotstein, is holding the photo that produced a record 6.5 million sales for the Enquirer when it was on the cover of the tabloid shortly after Elvis Presley's August 1977 death.
The picture of Rotstein was snapped shortly before the Elvis photo and hundreds of others were shredded, the attorneys contend. Rotstein, they say, oversaw the shredding."..."Royce Emley, a former promotion manager for AMI, said the negative of the Presley photo — one of five shot of the dead rock-and-roll icon — was kept in a vault. He suspects top editors grabbed the negatives before they evacuated the building during the anthrax attack."

 

http://www.nti.org/d_newswire/issues/20 ... 45407.html

"Sun Photo Editor Bob Stevens was one of five people killed following exposure to anthrax in 2001, and the AMI office building has been shuttered since then. Real estate investor David Rustine bought the building in 2003, according to AP.

Rustine planned to destroy 4.5 million pictures — including a photo of Elvis Presley in his coffin — along with 305,000 pounds of other materials that have all been kept in sealed storage since the attacks. Several photographers objected, and Rustine agreed to decontaminate the items, AP reported.

This effort will be 20 times larger than decontaminating documents from Capitol Hill following the anthrax mailings to Washington, said John Mason, president and CEO of contractor Bio-ONE."

 
July 9, 2005

http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/16 ... index.html
BioONE officials would not comment on the nature of their continuing work and referred all questions to the EPA. Malecki said the company would continue to provide "emergency assistance."

Several months ago, BioONE announced its plans to move into the building and establish its headquarters there once Malecki lifts a quarantine on the building.

"BioONE is committed to being part of the Boca Raton business community," the company asserted in a written statement Wednesday.

 

...so AMI's owners made millions on the anthrax attack...

...an untolled loss of materials resulted during the clean-up...

...Giuliani Partners got another feather in its cap and a deal with the EPA...

"Who benefits?", huh?

http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/misc9.html Giuliani Firm Anthrax Work Ends in a Feud
November 29, 2005
 Boca Raton's mayor, Steven Abrams, boasted to local residents that, in terms of the building's tenants, the city was trading up. "It used to be home of the National Enquirer and now it's the home of a national hero," Mr. Abrams said last fall as he and Mr. Giuliani campaigned for President Bush.
...In the Bio-One episode...Ms. Cavanagh said both her firm and the real estate investor who bought the contaminated building from American Media for $40,000, David Rustine, assumed at the outset that all the boxed up materials would be destroyed.
...The photo files could be among the most hazardous items ever on the site. It was a photo editor for American Media, Robert Stevens, who died after being exposed...
...Bio-One now says it has no plans to move into the tabloid publisher's former offices. "We really were committed to making the building itself into a symbol that we can handle these types of issues," Ms. Cavanagh said. "Because of what occurred with the owner, obviously that didn't work out."

wow...interesting math on the AMI property.
And this unexplainably exorbitant profit was made not too long before the Florida market went bust...
 

http://savebocaraton.blogspot.com/ More than 300,000 residential units sit empty across Florida, 64,588 properties were in foreclosure as of May 2009, second only to Nevada, and real estate prices are still plummeting. Nonetheless, state lawmakers are making it easier for developers to add even more. Gov. Charlie Crist signed this bill with the reasoning that it would ease government oversight and exempt many areas from a requirement that says builders must pay for road improvements...The bill rewrites Florida's 25-year-old growth management law, principally by allowing developers in the most urban counties to add more housing developments without expanding roads and by allowing counties and cities to designate new urban areas that also would be exempt...Crist signed the bill in private with no public ceremony. His press office issued a terse news release that attributed no quotations to Crist endorsing the legislation. Florida is now even more in the grip of the real estate developers...

How common are anthrax outbreaks?

http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/misc9.html [about 3/4 down the page] Local veterinarian discusses anthrax threat during 2005 Bovine Connection

December 07, 2005, Sidney (Montana) Herald

In light of the tragic loss of 37 cattle in Roosevelt County earlier this fall, Schieber felt it was prudent to inform the large group about the potential risks of anthrax epidemics.

"Anthrax is not new, it's been here for hundreds of years. There typically is an outbreak every five to 10 years. It is something that is here to stay," Schieber said..."In the summertime if you suddenly notice a cow death, you have to suspect anthrax"...

Once the anthrax spores are hatched, the incubation period ranges from three to seven days. Symptoms of infected animals include fever, initial aggression, depression, muscle trimmers, seizures, breathing difficulty and mild bloating. Death occurs rapidly.

 ---snips from the timeline http://www.heartson.com/Politics/anthra ... eline.html ---

March 16, 1999, Robert C. Myers, DVM, COO of BioPort,-America's only anthrax vaccine maker-appealed to a Senate Appropriations Committee for urgent funding for both anthrax and smallpox vaccines. In 1996, in his own words, he "was part of a team of organizations, led by Battelle Memorial Institute, which came together to compete for the [Department of Defense's Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program] JVAP. Despite dozens of potential bioterrorist threats, Dr. Myers stated these two threats were the greatest since anthrax is easy to handle...

March 2000: In early March 2000 at his home in Irvine, Orange County, California, Larry C. Ford, M.D., died of a shotgun blast. His death was later ruled a suicide, notwithstanding the fact that his firearms had supposedly been confiscated by the police several days before, after the attempted murder of his business partner, a crime for whichhe was a principal suspect. Only later was it revealed that Ford had served as a consultant to both the CIA and the chemical- and biological-weapons program of the South African Defense Forces, headed by Wouter Basson. Ford's contributions to Basson's program included lecturers on converting ordinary items into lethal biological weapons. After Ford's death his Irvine neighborhood was evacuated for several days as federal authorities excavated a weapons' bunker in Ford's yard and removed samples of various toxic biological agents found in Ford's refrigerators. The specific biological agents found in Ford's home have never been identified by the authorities, nor have they reported if any toxic agents were found in the university and other laboratories used by Ford. An initially frenzied FBI investigation quickly became quiescent. One Ford associate reports that Ford had been in contact with BioPort Corporation, sole U.S. manufacturer of anthrax vaccine. Recently discovered evidence indicates that, shortly before his death, Ford was actively preparing to move his medical-scientific work abroad. Close Ford associates expected a revival of the investigation after the onset of the recent anthrax incidents but have observed no evidence of any current Ford-related activity on the part of the FBI or other agencies.

June 26 , 27, 2000 Thomas Inglesby, Hopkins Institute organize his first Anthrax-Scenario Test-games Inglesby became important for the Pentagon and Fort Detrick, when he wrote his first popular scenario in July 1999: "Anthrax: A Possible Case History" >From this text: "..Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) offices in five U.S. cities have received warnings of an imminent bioterrorist attack. Each threat indicated that a "shower of anthrax would rain on U.S. cities," unless certain demands were met immediately..." http://www.bt.cdc.gov/documents/Atlanta/BTScenario.pdf   http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no4/inglesby.htm


July 2000, Germany's Bayer AG negotiated an unprecedented sole endorsement by the FDA of the antibiotic Cipro for anthrax, despite the drug's high risk, high price, and largely untested status.(7) Shortly thereafter, USA Today reported a study of conflicting interests on the FDA advisory committees endorsing drug policies. Author Dennis Cauchon wrote that between January 1, 1998 and June 30, 2000, during 92% of the 159 meetings, "at least one member had a financial conflict of interest. At 55% of meetings, half or more of the FDA advisers had conflicts of intrest. Conflicts were most frequent at the 57 meetings when broader issues were discussed: 92% of members had conflicts. At the 102 meetings dealing with the fate of a specific drug, 33% of the experts had a financial conflict."(20) Given this background, it is most reasonable to speculate that the FDA's unprecedented sole antibiotic endorsement of Bayer's largely untested and outrageously expensive Cipro for anthrax likewise reflected special and grossly conflicting of financial interest. http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/ant ... onage.html

Early September 2001: NY Times Investigation reveals Battelle to make genetically altered anthrax. In the first few days of September 2001 - immediately prior to the attacks of the 11th, the New York Times carried a major investigation which at any other time would have been a story of huge significance...It revealed three secret bio-defence projects at a time when the American people believed none was taking place. One - run by a contractor - Battelle - was to create genetically altered anthrax. The question now is - are there more such projects? The private contractor companies linked to the military and jokingly referred to as "beltway bandits" because they're sprinkled around the Washington beltway ring-road, is where individuals with the right mix of skills might be working. Some of these contractors are now known to have been involved in classified bio-defence projects. One of these secret projects, carried out in the Nevada desert, was part of a series of three

BBC reported that Battelle Memorial Institute (a favorite Pentagon and CIA contractor and for whom Alibek served as biological warfare program manager in 1998) conducted a secret biological warfare test in the Nevada desert using genetically-modified anthrax early last September, right before the terrorist attacks. The BBC reported that Patrick's paper on sending anthrax through the mail was also part of the classified contractor work on the deadly bacterial agent.

September 4. 2001: Details have emerged regarding a number of biological weapons research programs initiated by the United States. Under "Project Bachus," Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) officials constructed a BW production facility using only materials readily available on the commercial market and produced "simulated" BW agents in 1999 and 2000. Officials claim the project helped the Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence community learn more about the signatures that such a facility would emit. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) initiated a second project, "Clear Vision," in 1997. This project replicated portions of a bomblet developed by the former Soviet Union to disseminate BW in order to measure its potential effectiveness in dispersing the agents. Additional research into BW programs has been undertaken as part of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) "Jefferson Project." This program is intended to develop a small amount of a more potent strain of anthrax, although no work has begun on the project to date. DoD officials claim that this program was initiated to test vaccines against the agent, in light of claims by Russian scientists in 1997 that such a strain of anthrax was under development. Despite the fact that the BWC permits experiments on small microbes for defensive purposes, U.S. officials have expressed concern that both "Clear Vision" and the "Jefferson Project" may appear to foreign governments as violations of "the spirit if not the letter of the BWC." [The New York Times, September 4 and 5, 2001; Jane's Defense Weekly, September 12, 2001]

September 6, 2001 MSNBC The story refers to an article that was to be published the following day in the weekly magazine Science, reporting the 1918 flu virus had recently been RNA sequenced. Researchers had traced down and obtained virus samples from archived lung tissue of WWI soldiers, and from an Inuit woman who had been buried in the Alaskan permafrost.

American Media Inc.'s anthrax-contaminated building went to new owner Rustine for the clean-up:
 
David A. Rustine was formerly with Prudential Insurance (NY) before setting up his real estate/contracting business in Florida in 1984, which he named "Crown Companies" (Crown Real Estate Inc., Crown Leasing and Management Inc., and Crown Contractors, Inc.)
Wikipedia notes this about Prudential http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prudential_Financial

"During the 1980s and 1990s, Prudential Securities Incorporated (PSI), formerly a division of Prudential Financial, was investigated by the SEC for suspected fraud. During the investigation, it was found that PSI had defrauded investors of close to $8 billion, the largest fraud found by the SEC in US history to that point. The SEC charged that Prudential allowed rogue executives to cheat customers on a large scale and blithely ignored a 1986 SEC order to overhaul its internal enforcement of securities laws. In all, some 400,000 individual investors lost money on the deals."

Did Rustine have any part in that? What motive did he have for naming his business "Crown Companies"? Is there a relationship with private equity bankers at Henry Crown & Co.?
 
***
Henry Crown (1896-1990), a.k.a. Henry Krinsky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Crown .."gained a controlling interest in General Dynamics in 1959 when he merged the company with MSC [Material Service Corporation]"...
From Time Magazine, Nov. 03, 1952:

"He is chairman of the Empire State Building Corp., is the No. 2 power in the Hilton hotel chain, and controls the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad (with two associates). With Hotelman Conrad Hilton, he bought Chicago's Palmer House and with Hilton and some associates, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. On top of all this, Crown built his Materials Service Corp. of Chicago into the biggest supplier of construction materials in the U.S....After a World War II stint as a colonel in charge of buying $1 billion worth of Army supplies, Crown started spreading into other fields...with Realtor William Zeckendorf he bought a big tract of land on Manhattan's East Side, with the idea of putting up a big housing development. The deals paid off: the Waldorf, once deep in the red, is now well in the black; the Manhattan land, soon sold to the Rockefellers for United Nations headquarters, made Crown a $600,000 profit on his $2,000,000 investment....
Recently on a visit to the Empire State Building, Crown was amazed to hear that in the previous month the building had taken in $180,000 from sightseers who paid $1.20 a head to go to the top. Since Crown has no intention of letting such traffic go to waste, his next role may be about as far from coal mining as he can get—running a big bar and restaurant 1,070 feet above the sidewalks of New York." http://www.time.com/time/magazine/artic ... 73,00.html

***
'Crown' and 'Pritzker' have more in common than as respective owners of Hilton and Hyatt hotels. The Chicago Jewish news lists them consecutively and their company founders grew up in the same neighborhood:
 

http://www.chicagojewishnews.com/lists_chijews.htm
 
20. Henry Crown, along with his two brothers, started Material Service Corporation in 1919 and launched a business empire that came to include ownership of the Empire State Building and interests in the Hilton Corporation and General Dynamics. He was a decorated colonel serving in the Corps of Engineers in World War II. The Crown family has been a major source of funds for numerous Jewish causes, with special support for Jewish education.

21. Abram Nicholas Pritzker, known as A.N., was the patriarch of one of Chicago's most successful and most philanthropic families. Like Henry Crown, he grew up in the Wicker Park neighborhood, and later earned a law degree from Harvard. He helped develop a diversified group of companies that included the Hyatt Hotel chain, Hammond Organ and McCall's magazine. He and his family have made substantial financial contributions to numerous institutions in Chicago, throughout the country and in Israel.

At least one example of the Crown (General Dynamics) and Pritzker (Group) association before and after 9-11 is evident in the creation of Galaxy Aerospace:

http://www.ainonline.com/index.php?id=3 ... &tx_ttnews[pointer]=0&tx_ttnews[mode]=1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=16028

 

Jan.2002

"In 1996 Brian Barents accepted a position with the newly formed Galaxy Aerospace, and along with it the responsibility for integrating the assets of Astra Jet Corp., a struggling New Jersey company with a single product --the midsize Astra SPX.

   His appointment as the head of day-to-day operations of Galaxy was no shot in the dark. He had already spent 12 years at Cessna Aircraft....In 1989 he joined Learjet....Barents left in 1996 to lead Galaxy.

   By 1997 Galaxy Aerospace officially emerged to 'produce, market and support a line of advanced technology business aircraft' built by IAI [Israel Aircraft Industries]. Later that same year, Galaxy Aerospace moved from Princeton, New Jersey, to Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas....

   By 2000, Galaxy Aerospace had grown from 35 people to more than 400... Annual sales had grown from less than $100 million in 1996 to $500 million in 2000.

....In April [2001].., Gulfstream Aerospace parent company General Dynamics announced it would purchase Galaxy Aerospace for $330 million cash"...

 

According to http://www.aviationweek.com/shownews/99 ... rfrm03.htm

"The Galaxy and SPX are built in Tel Aviv and flown green to Alliance for completion"...

Are these anthrax associations tightening up?
 

http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2002/05/17/5202/ Aug. 15 — Anthrax spores were found in a mailbox this week on Nassau Street, bringing the FBI's investigation back to Princeton....The mailbox, which was located across the street from Holder Hall, has been replaced, and state authorities say they consider present health risks minimal. But the finding has renewed hope that the investigation, which began in October, will eventually succeed in finding the mailer of the anthrax letters. Four of the letters were postmarked near Princeton...

[Jenny Lake]

The anthrax tainted mailbox in Princeton, on Nassau Street in front of Holder Hall, is also in front of the main office of Rockefeller College:
 

http://rocky.princeton.edu/index.php?op ... &Itemid=58  ..."The Holder Tower fronting Nassau Street is quite discernible from a distance and distinctive to the College. The College Office entrance from Nassau Street is adjacent to the tower"...

From the link in the previous post:

The contaminated Nassau Street mailbox does not prove that any of the anthrax letters were sent from Princeton. The box holds both incoming and outgoing mail — individuals deposit letters to be sent, and the postal service uses the box to store sorted, incoming letters addressed to local residents. An incoming letter that had been through the same sorting equipment as one of the anthrax letters might have carried the spores to Princeton. It is also possible, however, that an outbound letter could have left the spores behind. The FBI has not said which part of the mailbox was the source of the spores or if spores could have spread from the inbound to the outbound part of the box.

...it's the only streetside mailbox in the US having this anthrax distinction from the collection of news reports that I've read. It's the busiest place in Princeton.

adding to your post, Bela.....
Oct. 15, 2001

http://www.sptimes.com/News/101501/Worl ... to_t.shtml
Sun editor Michael Irish's wife, Gloria, rented unit 1504 at the Delray Racquet Club to Marwan Alshehhi and Saeed Alghamdi this summer, said FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela.
Alshehhi was aboard United Airlines Flight 175, the second jet to strike the World Trade Center. Alghamdi was on United Flight 93, which crashed 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh when passengers apparently thwarted an attempt to target another building...

"We are not searching the apartment at this time," Orihuela said from outside the tabloid's Boca Raton headquarters. "We are focusing on this building." ....
Two terrorists, Alshehhi and Alghamdi, rented the apartment in Delray Beach just north of Boca Raton, the FBI said. The other seven, including suspected ringleader Mohamed Atta, are connected because they visited the apartment or otherwise had a direct tie to the inhabitants, a federal official familiar with the investigation told the Miami Herald.

Previously, only Saeed Alghamdi and another terrorist, Ahmed Alnami, both aboard United Flight 93, had been connected to the Delray Racquet Club apartment.
It is clear that the apartment was a meeting ground for terrorists, authorities say. Now they must determine whether unit 1504 was also a hatching ground for the anthrax attacks.

Mike Irish, who, records show, is a licensed airplane pilot, several years ago was a member of the Civil Air Patrol based at a small-plane airport in Lantana, just north of Delray Beach, an official there told the Washington Post. One of the hijackers, Atta, reportedly rented a plane at that airport to practice flying for three days in August. Stevens, the Sun photo editor who died of anthrax Oct. 5, also lives in Lantana. But there is no indication whether Irish or Stevens ever crossed paths with Atta...

In other developments Sunday....Nevada officials said four people who may have come into contact with a contaminated letter at a Microsoft office tested negative while results weren't known for two others.....Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said he considered the anthrax cases in New York, Nevada and Florida to be instances of bioterrorism. "It certainly is an act of terrorism to send anthrax through the mail," he said on Fox News Sunday.

...Health investigators have tested more than 300 people at American Media and have found some people with "elevated levels" of antibodies...Though O'Connor [Palm Beach Health Dept.]  said investigators don't know for sure whether those antibodies were produced to fight off anthrax or other diseases, such as HIV or hepatitis...All employees are taking antibiotics...

News of the exposures has caused jitters around the world, with a number of false or pending cases reported over the weekend....

Suter, Irish, and "terrorists". In Delray.

From LordLindsay's post earlier in this thread:

"Then there is the report of pharmacist Gregg Chatterton in Delray Beach, Fla. He told investigators that two of the 9/11 hijackers came into his store, Huber Drugs, looking for medication to treat irritations on Mohamed Atta's hands. Chatterton, whose pharmacy is not far from American Media International's headquarters, recalled that Atta said, "My hands – my hands burn; they are itching.""

From History Commons:

Summer 2001: Some Hijackers Use Computers at Florida Public Library
According to Kathleen Hensman, a librarian at the Delray Beach, Florida public library, several hijackers use the library's Internet computers during the summer months. She will remember them because, on one occasion, Marwan Alshehhi asks her about any good restaurants in the city. On another occasion, Mohand Alshehri and another individual keep staring at her while using a terminal. "They wanted to be aware of what I was doing," she will say.

October 14, 2001: 'Strange Coincidence' Briefly Increases Suspicions Al-Qaeda Is behind Anthrax Attacks
Gloria Irish.Gloria Irish. [Source: AP / St. Petersburg Times]The FBI confirms that Gloria Irish rented an apartment to two of the 9/11 hijackers. Her husband is Michael Irish, who is an editor of the Sun, a Florida tabloid newspaper, and the first victim of the anthrax attacks earlier this month. Bob Stevens, who also worked at the Sun, and several others at the tabloid offices were injured.[Bob Stevens was "injured" so much that he is currently dead.-ed.] The FBI says that Irish rented different apartments in Delray Beach, Florida, to hijackers Marwan Alshehhi and Saeed Alghamdi during the summer of 2001. But one FBI spokesperson says, "Right now it looks like a coincidence," and another calls it a "strange coincidence."Two of the hijackers, including Mohamed Atta, also had subscriptions to the Sun. [Knight Ridder, 10/14/2001; Guardian, 10/16/2001] But Irish says "there is no way" the hijackers could have known about any Sun connection through her. [Washington Post, 10/15/2001] Michael Irish is a licensed pilot who was a member of the Civil Air Patrol based at Lantana Airport. Atta reportedly rented a plane at that airport in August. Stevens, who died of anthrax on October 5, also lived in Lantana. But there is no evidence that Irish or Stevens crossed paths with Atta. [St. Petersburg Times, 10/15/2001] The story will quickly die after nothing more is found to the connection.

CNN shows a picture of a Saudi pilot called Saeed Alghamdi and claims it is the hijacker of the same name. However, the pilot is alive and working in Tunisia. The FBI listed the hijacker's possible residence as Delray Beach, Florida, where the pilot trained in 1998, 1999, and 2000, which may be why CNN uses a photograph of the wrong person. The pilot returns to Saudi Arabia to avoid problems and CNN apologises for the error.

second that, and take in all this activity in and around American Media Inc. even as the source of the "weaponized strain from a government lab" theory which is the basis of all patsy-making, including Zack:

December 5, 2001

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/05/us/na ... gewanted=1  
...The test results, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency last week, show that anthrax spores spread throughout the three-story office building in Boca Raton that is the headquarters of American Media Inc., a tabloid publisher. Spores ended up not just in the mailroom and on Mr. Stevens's keyboard, but also in such out-of-the-way places as atop a room divider and computer monitors and in a nook between banks of shelves.

Officials involved in the effort said they were surprised by how far the material had spread. Such findings point to an extremely dangerous kind of anthrax preparation, with small particles that can easily float in the air, officials and experts said.

This is Maria Peters' account of what went on inside the library of AMI on Thursday, October 4, 2001:

"We recently had a public address system installed and the very first announcement that came over was from our house attorney announcing that a co-worker, Bob Stevens, [an AMI photo editor] had been diagnosed with anthrax. By the afternoon we had a disease specialist available by e-mail if we had any questions or concerns about anthrax. On Friday there was a company-wide meeting on the third floor (where anthrax was later discovered at Stevens' computer) to assure everyone that there was nothing to be concerned about. One of the specialists even remarked, 'Do you think I'd walk into this building if I thought there was anthrax in here?' He later, of course, was on the Cipro protocol."

"Friday afternoon, October 5, we received word that Bob Stevens had died of anthrax. On Sunday evening, about 11:30 P.M., I received a call from one of the editors for me to inform my staff immediately that 1.) anthrax was found in the building and the building was sealed off, and 2.) to report to the Florida Department of Health the next day (Monday, October for the nasal swab testing and the Cipro prescription."

Martha Moffet, who was home sick with pneumonia when Bob Stevens was diagnosed, recalls that after he died the employees were "plunged into a nightmare of fear, constantly changing information, testing and treatment. Everyone in the company, and any visitors during certain times, were put on a 60-day regimen of antibiotics. The AMI building was closed, and we had to proceed with no resources, not even our Rolodexes." http://www.ibiblio.org/slanews/nln/nln0 ... /index.htm

The Hartford Courant  
December 19, 2001
...Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, a microbiologist affiliated with the Federation of American Scientists, earlier this month carried the profile a bit further when she predicted that the perpetrator is an American microbiologist with access to weaponized anthrax, that likely came from a government lab or one contracted by the government.

December 20, 2001
...``You could walk out with anything,'' Crosland said. ``It was all my personal stuff, but it could have been anything.'' ...
...Interviews with more than a dozen current and former Fort Detrick scientists provided a rare account of what they described as a lax security system, that could have done little to prevent an employee from smuggling the ingredients for biological terrorism out of the country's premier biodefense lab.

January 20, 2002
...Lab specimens of anthrax spores, Ebola virus and other pathogens disappeared from the Army's biological warfare research facility in the early 1990s, during a turbulent period of labor complaints and recriminations among rival scientists there, documents from an internal Army inquiry show.

The 1992 inquiry also found evidence that someone was secretly entering a lab late at night to conduct unauthorized research, apparently involving anthrax. A numerical counter on a piece of lab equipment had been rolled back to hide work done by the mystery researcher, who left the misspelled label "antrax" in the machine's electronic memory, according to the documents obtained by The Courant.

...In addition to anthrax and Ebola, the specimens included hanta virus, simian AIDS virus and two that were labeled "unknown" - an Army euphemism for classified research whose subject was secret.

...Many of the specimens were tiny samples of tissue taken from the dead bodies of lab animals...Some samples, particularly viruses, are also irradiated with gamma rays before they are handled by the pathology lab...

But Dr. Ayaad Assaad, a former Fort Detrick scientist who had extensive dealings with the lab, said that because some samples were received at the lab while still alive - with the expectation they would be treated before being worked on - it is possible some became missing before treatment.

...More troubling to Langford than the missing specimens was what investigators called "surreptitious" work being done in the pathology lab late at night and on weekends...

Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the lab building at night was Langford's predecessor, Lt. Col. Philip Zack, who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Zack being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992, apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy, a lab pathologist and close friend of Zack's, according to a report filed by a security guard.

 

June 13, 2002

...Questions about lax security at Fort Detrick were first raised earlier this year in a series of stories in The Courant.

The Hartford Courant and lead staff writer on the story, Jack Dolan, appear to be the source of the "Zack theory".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hartford_Courant The Courant was purchased in 1979 by Times Mirror, the Los Angeles Times' parent company. The first years of out-of-town ownership were described by a former Courant reporter in a book titled Spiked: How Chain Management Corrupted America's Oldest Newspaper.

The owners of the Hartford Courant:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribune_Company

The Tribune Company is a large, employee-owned,[1] American multimedia corporation based in Chicago, Illinois. It is the nation's second-largest newspaper publisher, with ten daily newspapers and commuter tabloids including Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Hartford Courant, Orlando Sentinel, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Baltimore Sun and the The Morning Call, among others.

..Through Tribune Broadcasting, the company operates 23 television stations, WGN America on national cable and Chicago's WGN-AM. The group's combined reach is more than 80 percent of U.S. television households...
A merger with The Times Mirror Company, completed in June 2000, effectively doubled the size of Tribune by adding more newspapers to the company's holdings. The $8.3 billion transaction was the largest acquisition in newspaper industry history.

The Times Mirror merger added seven daily newspapers to the Tribune group, including the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The Baltimore Sun and the Hartford Courant. Tribune was now the only media company with newspapers and television stations in the top three markets.

The 2001 anthrax attacks had begun occurring in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, with anthrax-laced letters sent to ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and the New York Post, all in New York City, as well as the National Enquirer in Boca Raton, Florida. Two additional letters (with a higher grade of anthrax) were sent on October 9, 2001 to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy in Washington. Twenty-two people were infected; five died. In 2008, as the government's investigation of these mailings focused on Bruce Ivins, Mr. Ivins committed suicide. The official view is that Mr. Ivins acted alone.[citation needed]

Miller was the only major U.S. media reporter, and the New York Times the only major U.S. media organization, to be victimized by a fake anthrax letter in the fall of 2001. Miller had reported extensively on the subject of biological threats and had co-authored with Stephen Engelberg and William Broad a book on bio-terrorism, Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War which had been published on October 2, 2001. Miller also co-authored an article on Pentagon plans to develop a more potent version of weaponized anthrax, "U.S. Germ Warfare Research Pushes Treaty Limits", published in the New York Times on September 4, 2001, weeks before the first anthrax mailings.[3] Miller also participated in a senior-level bio-terror attack simulation on Oklahoma City conducted on June 22 and June 23, 2001 called "Operation Dark Winter"; her role was media reporter/observer.

On May 17, 2006, NavySEALs.com and MediaChannel.org published an exclusive interview with Miller[citation needed] in which she detailed how the attack on the Cole spurred her reporting on Al Qaeda and led her, in July 2001, to a still-anonymous top-level White House source, who shared top-secret NSA signals intelligence (SIGINT) concerning an even bigger impending Al Qaeda attack, perhaps to be visited on the continental United States. Ultimately, however, Miller never wrote that story. Two months later, on September 11, Miller and her editor at the Times, Stephen Engelberg, another Pulitzer Prize winner, both remembered and regretted the story they "didn't do".[citation needed]

On September 7, 2007, she was hired as an adjunct fellow of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a neo-conservative free-market think tank. Her duties will include being a contributing editor for the organization's publication, City Journal. On October 20, 2008 Fox News announced that it had hired Miller.[22]
