After September 11, we DID get hit again...

It was called Anthrax. And Bush still hasn't caught the killer. So next time Bush/Cheney claim we haven't been hit again, ask them what happened to the Anthrax killer.

Then ask them where Osama is.

10. Let's meander down memory lane and recall the list of recipients,shall we?
Leahy, Daschle, NBC News, The NY Post & The Globe (tabloid)



...The Leahy letter is the first time experts have had a chance to open a piece of mail known to be contaminated.

The envelope contained a photocopied letter identical to that sent to Senator Tom Daschle on 9 October, with phrases such as "We have this anthrax, you die now", and "Allah is great".

Officials believe it is part of a batch of four similar letters all sent on the same day, and all postmarked at Trenton, New Jersey. The other recipients were NBC News and the New York Post.

12. And the Anthrax was the Ames Strain. From Ames Research Lab in Iowa...
That FACT gets little to no attention.

It was a fucking inside job to threaten the democratic majority leader, and the media.

And yet some STILL don't think the government would LIE to use about terror alerts.

How gullible can some people be? How many "coincidences" have to pile up before some people start asking themselves the hard questions.


Who benefits from this?

That is the key question. Who benefitted from the Anthrax attacks?

20. Anthrax came from Fort Dietrich
http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0510/p02s01-ussc.html

Until now, scientists had perhaps a dozen coarser genetic indicators they could use. These markers helped trace the anthrax isolate from Florida to samples taken from a dead cow in Texas in 1981. Those samples wound up in at least 14 labs via the US Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Dietrich, Md.

But these coarser markers don't show scientists the subtle genetic mutations that can occur naturally as generations of isolates grow in the lab. Hence they couldn't identify which of the labs the isolate might have come from.

18. Those were two loners
The Beltway snipers were two loners who were on a good old-fashioned crime spree. They were allegedly doing it to distract the police from their planned murder of John Allen Mohammed's ex-wife, who lives in the DC area.

I was scared on 9/11, but I was TERRIFIED during the sniper attacks. Later, I found out that they had stopped at the supermarket across the street from where we live. I'm just glad that they weren't in a killin' mood that night.

8. Every time they attack anywhere in the world they are attacking US
The world HATES us.

Let's start counting all of the attacks that have been motivated by HATE for BUSH all over the world.

The "CIVIL WAR" in Iraq is a terror attack against US.

They have not made us safer.

They always say they are fighting them over there so they won't fight us over HERE.

EVERY soldier that comes HERE in a flag draped coffin is AMERICAN, from HERE!

"Over there is HERE"

9. They shut up the second it was found to be the Ames Strain.
The Anthrax was traced to Ames research lab in Iowa, they could tell by the quality of the spores, where it was made. Not long after that story was in a few papers (NY Times for one), they quit talking about it all together.

I'm sure it's just, yet another, coincidence. There sure are A LOT of coincidences these days, isn't there?

Am I wearing my tin-foil hat now too? Apparently the New York Times was reporting "conspiracy theories" like this in 2001:

11. I posted some of it for lazy clickers. The headline tells the story:
U.S. Inquiry Tried, but Failed, to Link Iraq to Anthrax Attack
By WILLIAM J. BROAD with DAVID JOHNSTON

Shortly after the first anthrax victim died in October, the Bush administration began an intense effort to explore any possible link between Iraq and the attacks and continued to do so even after scientists determined that the lethal germ was an American strain, scientists and government officials said.

But they said that largely secret work had found no evidence to back up the initial suspicions, which is one reason administration officials have said recently that the source of the anthrax was most likely domestic.

15. That's one way to get unfettered access to Democrats' offices
"Sorry, you've been attacked by Anthrax. We're sending in guys wearing moon-suits to decontaminate your computer and all your files."

Oh, and then there were those tabloid newspaper offices that got hit, too.

Someone wanted the files of Jeff Gannon and The Franklin Child Sex Prostitution cover-up.

Edited on Sat Aug-12-06 05:56 PM by elehhhhna
Rudy Giuliani

The building is being decontaminated by a company called Bio-ONE. Bio-ONE is a partnership between former New York Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, and Sabre Technical Services.

19. The tabloid office had anthrax tracked into every room in the building
so the building had to be closed.

This was the threat to the newspapers and the networks--that their
buildings could be contaminated so they would have to abandon their
computers and their files.

This was also a threat to the insurance companies. Can you imagine
the claims if entire skyscrapers had to be abandoned because of anthrax
contamination?

Thus the media and the WTC insurers wanted to be on the good side of
whoever was "protecting" them from anthrax terrorists.

The insurers on WTC7 paid out $861 million within a few months--
apparently with no investigation of the collapse themselves, and
before the FEMA report on the cause of the collapse had been
concluded.

21. RACISM in Action!
If I recall correctly, there were four or five people who died in the anthrax attack in late 2001.

Two of them were African-American postal workers who worked at the Brentwood Facility in Washington, DC. And, if I recall correctly, they died after Postal Service management fucked up and refused to send them to a competent doctor for treatment.

So -- here we have Bush/Cheney saying that we have not been attacked since 9/11, and forgetting the needless and senseless deaths of two African-Americans.

Why am I not surprized at the callous racist indifference of the Bush cabal/regime thugs?????!!!!!

25. You might also recall that bush* and others....
...began taking Cipro BEFORE the Anthrax attacks.

"Los Angeles, Alta California - 6/10/2002 - (ACN) La Voz de Aztlan learned yesterday that the White House Staff including President George Bush went on a regiment of the anti-biotic "Cipro" that is use to ward off anthrax infections on September 11, 2001. This is a few weeks before the anthrax attacks that began on October, 2001."
