Were the Anthrax Attacks on Congress the act of the U.S. Government? by F. Vyan Walton Page 1 of 3 page(s) |

According to a report from a government Insider currently posted on AfterDowningStreet.org, the Anthrax attacks on Senators Daschle and Leahy in 2001, just weeks after 9-11, may have been launched not by foreign or even domestic terrorists, unless (like Rosie O'Donnel) you count members of the U.S. Government as potentential members such a group. Francis A. Boyle, an international law expert who worked under the first Bush Administration as a bioweapons advisor in the 1980s, has said that he is convinced the October 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people were perpetrated and covered up by criminal elements of the U.S. government. The motive: to foment a police state by killing off and intimidating opposition to post-9/11 legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the later Military Commissions Act. I admit I am wary of what might seem a bit of tin-foil habberdashery, but then again - we just had a President commute the sentence of someone who lied to protect the Vice President from possible Treason charges. We've seen our racial discrimination at the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Just how much lower can the Bush/Cheney Government go? Based on what Dr. Boyle has to say it just might be that we haven't even begun to completely plumb the true depths of BushCo. "At the time I myself did not know precisely what was going on, either with respect to September 11 or the anthrax attacks, but then the New York Times revealed the technology behind the letter to Senator Daschle. [The anthrax used was] a trillion spores per gram, [refined with] special electro-static treatment. This is superweapons-grade anthrax that even the United States government, in its openly proclaimed programs, had never developed before. So it was obvious to me that this was from a U.S. government lab. There is nowhere else you could have gotten that." At the time of the attacks the Senate was contempating the original version of the Patriot Act, which at the time included a complete striping of Habeas Corpus. Senator Leahy was one of the leading opponents of the bill. Following the attacks, much of that opposition faded and the bill - with some modifications - was passed. Leahy even voted for it. Boyle who had worked for years on Bioweapons and had been responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which passed both Houses and was signed into law by George Herbert Walker Bush. But wait, the plot sickens... After realizing that the type and quality of the Anthrax used against Sen. Daschle indicated that it had to have been developed by U.S. Scientists, Boyle contacted the FBI and spoke with Agent Marion "Spike" Bowman. Boyle and Bowman had met at a terrorism conference at the University of Michigan Law School. Boyle told Bowman that the only people who would have the capability to carry out the attacks were individuals working on U.S. government anthrax programs with access to a high-level biosafety lab. Boyle gave Bowman a full list of names of scientists, contractors and labs conducting anthrax work for the U.S. government and military. Well, you'd expect that armed with this knowledge, trusty Agent Bowman would be after his man/men immediately? Well, not so much. Bowman then informed Boyle that the FBI was working with Fort Detrick on the matter. Boyle expressed his view that Fort Detrick could be the main problem. Fort Detrick recieves it's cultures for bioweapon analysis and development from Ames, Iowa - but not long after these events the cultures at Ames were ordered destroyed by ... wait for it ... the FBI. The alleged destruction of the anthrax culture collection at Ames, Iowa, from which the Fort Detrick lab got its pathogens, was blatant destruction of evidence. It meant that there was no way of finding out which strain was sent to whom to develop the larger breed of anthrax used in the attacks. The trail of genetic evidence would have led "Clearly, for the FBI to have authorized this was obstruction of justice, a federal crime," said Boyle. "That collection should have been preserved and protected as evidence. That's the DNA, the fingerprints right there.

I worked with the people at Ft Detrick for a year on a nerve agent project (PDF of the science paper that resulted is available, email me), and I went to the facility on two different occasions to pick up blood samples from animals exposed to soman nerve gas. It is quite a scary place, and while the people there seem quite nice, many of them are rabid, Fox-news only ultra-conservatives. I could imagine both scenarios being possible, either that the “warning letters” were sent on orders from above (read Cheney’s office), or that some ultra-conservative scientist or technician there decided to take matters into their own hands. by

Why wouldn't one suspect this government of committing these crimes and more? We have testimony, books, documents and movies on how Nazi Germany gassed millions to their deaths. Hundred of thousands where more than willing to carry out the orders to kill millions of innocent people. There has been genocide committed by lesser governments up to this day. In our lose system of government it would be easy to have those of demented minds who have connections and wealth to rise to the pinnacles of power. Add in the corrupting influence of corporations and how easily people can be manipulated and why wouldn't one suspect that people within our own government would use their influence to promote their own demented agenda? Throughout history governments have had openly insane heads of state where many people went along with whatever orders where given them from said insane people. So I have no problem with the thought that not only were people within this country responsible from the Anthrax attacks, you can add on massive Election Fraud, or the Holiest of Grails, September 11, 2001 attacks. by

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/anthraxsuspect.html THE HIDDEN ANTHRAX LETTERS SUSPECT Foreign press picks up story that Anthrax letters were sent by American bio-war scientist ... and that the FBI is dragging its feet on the case. FBI'S PRIME SUSPECT ON ANTHRAX LETTERS IS JEWISH! No wonder they were dragging their feet. Salon's story of the attempt to frame Dr. Ayaad Assaad, an Egyptian, for the Anthrax letters The time has come to face the unpleasant fact the citizens of the United States may well be the victims of the most incredible hoax in history regarding who is really behind the attacks on the World Trade Towers, the mailing of Anthrax letters to political and media leaders, and even to doubts that Daniel Pearl's killers are actually who we have been told they are. The fact is that evidence presented to the public as to who was behind 9-11 is largely faked while evidence that links the Israeli Spy/Phone Tapping Ring to the attacks has been classified by the US Government itself, as reported in Carl Cameron's four part story on the spy ring on Fox News (subsequently erased from the mainstream media's web sites). "reports that Israel was conducting spying activities in the United States may have a grain of truth Note the of second paragraph from the bottom of this story in which a US official admits that even if the Israelis were running a spy ring in the United States, the information would be kept from the American people. The time has come to seriously consider that the American people are being tricked into a war. Such things are hardly new. Recently declassified documents prove beyond al doubt that Pearl Harbor was not only NOT a surprise, but was the desired result of an 8 step ONI plan written by Arthur H. McCollum and implemented by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in order to trick the people of the United States into a war against Hitler, via the back door of Japan. And according to Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad agent, the bombing of Libya during the Reagan administration was the result of a trick played by the Mossad in which a radio transmitter was smuggled into Tripoli and used to create fake radio messages for the US to intercept. The motto of the Mossad is, "By way of deception, thou shalt do war". The Israeli government has a history of tricking the United States into attacking their enemies for them. A classic example is the Lavon Affair. In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring. Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited fro the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax perpetrated by "anti-Semites". But as the public trial progressed, it was evidence that Israel had indeed been behind the bombing. Eventually, Israeli's Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, although it appears that he was himself the victim of a frame-up by the real authors of the bombing project, code named "Operation Susannah." So now we have the present situation. Ruined buildings, dead people, Anthrax in the mail. There is a constant hue and cry to try to blame Arab Muslims by the Israeli government, which seeks to enlarge its territory (Israel has invaded every single nation it shares a border with since its creation) and by the US government, which seeks to grab control of what remains of the world's oil reserves. Either through this mutually reinforcing agenda, of perhaps because of blackmail of our officials by Israel, the US has become Israel's partner in this hoax, which leads us to the reason for the US to classify evidence that links Israel's arrested spies with the events of 9-11. "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." History teaches us that since the dawn of the industrial age, all wars have been started with deceptions and manufactured provocations. Hitler staged a fake attack from Poland to start WW2. FDR maneuvered Japan into attacking the fleet at Pearl Harbor then presented the attack as a total surprise to the American people. Evidence that 9-11 is another such deception mounts every day. Almost a year ago, in March 2001, long before the attacks on the World Trade Towers, while the American people were being distracted by "All Condit, All The Time", the United States Government was already informing other nations of plans to invade Afghanistan in October, 2001. And, in October 2001, the United States did in fact invade Afghanistan, right on schedule, which means that the attacks on the World Trade Towers occurred at just the exact moment when the United States needed a population angry enough to support a war. Have we been hoaxed? Would someone really sacrifice some buildings (as FDR sacrificed some ships) to start a war? Against the $5 trillion worth of oil under the Caspian Sea, the price of a new World Trade Center in New York is just pocket change, a cheap price to pay indeed for control of such vast oil reserves, and an even better deal if the oil under Iraq can be added to the prize package, especially for a government too deeply in debt to get out without massive conquests of someone else's resources. The fact that the Anthrax Letters were NOT sent by an Arab Muslim but by a Jewish gentleman with the intent to FRAME an Arab Muslim strongly suggests that the entire sequence of recent events has been one gigantic frame-up, which would explain again why the US Government is itself classifying evidence that links some of the arrested Israeli spies with the events of 9-11. History may be repeating itself again. We cannot afford to dismiss the possibility that, once again, Americans are the victims of a hoax designed to trick them into sacrificing their wealth and the lives of their children in a war of someone else's making; a war of the worst kind, war for profit and empire. One more lesson from history needs to be repeated. Since the dawn of the industrial age, the overwhelming majority of wars have been LOST by the side that initiated them. Just one more reason for caution. "By way of deception, thou shalt do war" -- Motto of Israel's Mossad A pathetic attempt to shift the focus on the Anthrax letters As most readers are already aware, the Anthrax contained in the letters sent to Congress was determined to be from a US military laboratory. This raised the question in the public's mind as to who, inside a US facility, would be playing games with Anthrax. Suspicion focused on Dr. Ayaad Assaad, an Egyptian scientist working at Fort Detrick, based on an anonymous letter. Because Dr. Assaad's race fit in perfectly with the agenda of sparking a war into Arab lands rich in oil, the media ballyhooed that the FBI was closing in on the "Arab Anthrax Terrorist". Ah, but the best laid plans gang aft aglay, and the FBI discovered that the end of the hunt for the sender of the Anthrax letters was NOT Dr. Assaad the Egyptian, but Dr. Zack, who is Jewish. At this point, both the FBI and the mainstream media stopped making any public comments on the case. The above BBC article is clearly another step in the plan to try to shift the suspicion for the Anthrax letters further away from the Dr. Zack, to spare Israel further embarrassment in what appears to be a modern day revival of the Lavon Affair. However, the claim that the Anthrax letters were simply an experiment in mail delivery that went awry is discredited by recalling that the envelopes and their contents were written in a way to cast suspicion for the letters in a specific direction, at Arabs! This clear evidence of a deliberate frame up proves that not only was this not simply a test procedure, but that the Anthrax in the letters was intended to kill people, while the letters themselves pointed the finger of blame. It would appear that even the BBC is not above spreading a little bit of propaganda. Proof of a deliberate frame-up is before your eyes - someone INTENDED for Arabs to take the blame. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANTHRAX was also found at the Urban Moving Systems warehouse (Israeli MOSSAD front involved in 9/11) on September 11th 2001, this most likely led to Dick Cheney and staff taking Cipro that evening before scurrying off to Camp David.

Fnally, finally, FINALLY the right questions are being asked Exactly the same question should be asked about 9/11 and stopping the candyhass "worst case scenario" that the Bush/Republicans were merely asleep at the wheel. How about psycho elements of the Bush/Republicans ENGINEERED 9/11 (with a litle help from antoher counry) just as they problaly assasinated Senator Wellstone. The question to keep bearing in mind here is what political party and Middle Eastern counry BENEFITED from 9/11 and the gruesom death of the Wellstone family? Follow the money . . . The national and international treason probabilites here are infinite. by

When I contacted the Baltimore office of my senator, Barbara Mikulski, in mid-November 2001 about some pending legislation, I got very interesting feedback. With desperation in her voice, the aide said that there was little she could do. They had no access to their computers, files or mail. These were the senior majority leadership of the Senate until January. In February, over four months later, they were finally told that they could again access their D.C. offices. And wasn't there a trace of anthrax discovered in the basement of the Supreme Court building that shut it down? I read that it coincided with an attempt by the Senate leadership to run the Patriot Act over for some legal assessment. I think you've got it right. These theories seem less theoretical all the time. BTW- I knew a postal worker who was distressed because two of his coworkers were among the anthrax victims. That stuff was so untra-fine that it went right through the envelope. by

Conan Doyle's character, Sherlock Holmes, said it best: "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." All the crazy "theories" about lone nuts wading in the water, arab assassins, etc raise more questions than they explain and they explain nothing. Our own corrupt government had the method, the motive, the opportunity. Face it folks, the "government" of George W. Bush is crooked, willing and able to perpetrate mass murder upon American citizens. A final shot: the ONLY crazy conspiracy theory about 911 is the one George W. Bush tried to sell the stunned people of America. It's full of holes and George could not have seen the first plane crash the north tower unless someone had a closed circuit feed and cameras set up in advance. No one has ever produced a single scrap from the Pentagon traceable to ANY airliner. And the official account of those buried at Arlington National Cemetary is a work of fiction. There's more ...Silverstein is on video tape telling the world that he agreed to pull Buidling 7. It was, indeeed, "pulled" within the hour or so. To "pull" a building in such a controlled manner requires engineering studies by experts and, in every account I've read, months to set up! 911 was an inside job! by

Knowing the robustly top-down nature of BushCo., the “orders from on-high” scenario seems somewhat more likely. The Patriot Act was of critical importance to their plans, so they may have felt that it was time to play hard ball with the Democrats in Congress (and the news media, who might criticize them).

The FBI knows of a man who was caught entering the lab where the Anthrax used in the letters was kept, after he had been fired for a racially motivated attack on a co-worker. So, why is the FBI wasting its time with Steven Hatfill?
News Story identifying Dr. Philip Zack as the man caught entering the Anthrax storage area at Fort Detrick without authorization.
Already the hate email is pouring in insisting that coverage of this story is "anti-Semitic". Clearly, a certain nation is terrified of this story getting wide coverage.
-- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring.
