Whatever happened to the anthrax attack investigation???
The Memory Hole has a GAO report from last December on it
http://www.thememoryhole.org/crime/gao-anthrax/

but whatever happened to the investigation of US Army anthrax made for end user CIA that was used to attack the 107th Congress and press???

Tommy the man who sold the world Thompson HHS Sect. is in charge, I think. Dr. Hatfield recently brought suit against Feds but whatever happened to the investigation of the anthrax attack?

1. I can tell you
the FBI traced the anthrax mailings all the way to the White House, The Bush team decided to call off the investigations because it would damanging(politically) if the public found out it was them.


Of Course I have no official knowledge of this but I find it strange that Anthrax was sent to prominent democrats and "liberal" media types.

4. The anthrax attack was so obvious it really surprised me
that they did it. I mean, you would think, they would at least have found some republican asshole to also send it too to create the illusion that it was from a foreign source. I mean, come on, what foreign country is going to go to such lengths as to target one poilitical party? Not only that, but you target the opposition to the people who are really screwing you!?

On the other hand, you gotta admit that it did work. I mean, you hear any democrats asking any questions about it, demanding answers? Nope. Any 9-11 investigations (which is what it was specifically designed to quell)? Nope.

15. Tommy Thompson knew something psychic
http://www.judicialwatch.org/archive/2001/printer_1062.shtml

He also hired Jerome Hauer of SAIC on 9-10-2001! Jerome Hauer is a person of interest to me too.

I did a google on this and found this unofficial site that raises some questions that really need answers.

6. The institution
...is the same organization that interfered with exit polling in the 2002 election. They are the same company that defends against and "cleans up" anthrax attacks.

8. Yes, I noticed SAIC{CIAS} mentioned on page 4 of the GAO report
as well as The Battelle mention on another page.

10. It's all about Battelle, Ken Alibek, Hadron, etc.
I am 100% convinced that Ken Alibek, the Russian defector who formerly ran Biopreparat (Bioweapons program in Russia), and now is a high-level executive for Hadron, a bioweapons cleanup company in the US, is deeply, deeply involved in the Anthrax episode. He is connected to Dr. Kelly, as well as many of the now dead microbiologists. Mike Ruppert and others have explored this line of thought and came to the same conclusion. When you look at all of the connections and "coincidences", it's almost blatantly obvious.

9. Well, Steve Hatfill has sued the government
He is the guy that was identified as a "person of interest" in the investigation, and now he's suing the feds for destroying his life.

http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/082603/new_hat001.shtml

Naturally, because he worked at the lab that the anthrax was traced to, he couldn't possibly have had anything to do with it, and the corrupt Bush administration actually broke its own rules in placing him under surveillance (Rule Number 1 being to launch an attack on a totally unrelated subject, like killing Afghanistan after 15 Saudi nationals brought down the World Trade Center towers, or killing Iraq while going after Al Qaeda).

23. Good for him

This could happen to anyone - look for this sort of thing to increase under Bush.

Again, it strikes me as insane that the Bushies continue to aid and abet the Nazi regime. What will it take to open their eyes? It happening to them, that's what.

"In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up." ~ Pastor Martin Niemoller

16. Alternate story on suspect.
Edited on Mon Sep-01-03 03:08 PM by Buzzz
In covert fashion the BFEE hires him to do it. He does it. Paying him off would raise suspicion so they arrange for a bungling public FBI shakedown and TV appearances of harassment so that his subsequent lawsuit will be an easy win. He gets paid off in taxpayer dollars (at no cost to the BFEE) and retires a martyr. Mission accomplished, and it almost worked.

17. There had to be more than one person, this was domestic
but I wonder about Mr. Hatfill, considering his involvement with a white supremacist group in Africa and all.

Then there is the strange case of Dr. Wiley, who was a leading contender for Surgeon General only to perish from a "fall" off a bridge in Tennessee and be found hundreds of miles away. Our Surgeon General is former Special Forces bio-terrorism expert Mr. Carmona.

Hatfill is very interesting to many folks, both in and out of law enforcement. I agree in general that BFEE is capable of anything.

But what has happened to the INVESTIGATION?

18. Wiley as surgeon general?
I doubt that...What's the evidence that Wiley was a leading contender for surgeon general? Did he even have an M.D.?

19. Try a google search of him. The Federation of American Scientists
Edited on Mon Sep-01-03 07:21 PM by bobthedrummer
mentioned his SG candidancy as did other sites.

BTW, none of your links worked.

Of course he was a Dr., a highly respected one.

22. Fixed links...
Sorry, my bad, I forgot to remove the http


Link #1


Link #2


The other link required a paid subscription to Nature.

Wiley was indeed a highly respected Ph.D., but I'm unaware he had an M.D. Also, there is unfortunately a lot of misinformation about Wiley's career out there - I'm not sure he was an "anthrax expert" by any means, at least that's not what his lab worked on. He was an X-ray crystallographer who spent most of his career working on viral proteins, particularly influenza. In fact, a Pubmed search of "wiley dc AND anthrax" doesn't bring up any papers. It's too bad Democrats.com perpetuated this misconception...

20. not a priority, I guess
they don't really talk about it much, do they?

Just the murder of five people, and the attempted murder of several Congressmen.

25. Very interesting post, haymaker
one is either withem or against 'em.
BFEE could have the anthrax attacker{s} within itself.

Surely this investigation has disappeared though-I heard about that pond draining weeks ago, then complete silence.

Innocent postal employees were killed and injured. Some folks must know something, somewhere...what a world we are now in...
