- Abstract
-
 On October 1, 2001-approximately
two weeks prior to the first publicly announced anthrax mailing-FBI officials
received an urgent warning from this author. Investigators were directed
to consider certain pharmaceutical and/or military contractors as suspects
in anthrax-related psychological operations (PSYOPs) and bioterro-linked
espionage. Near the time of this writing, some of my critical pronouncements
have appeared in national news reports. On November 26, 2001, concerns
regarding the Bayer Corporation's Cipro were featured by the Washington
Times.(1) On December 2 and 3, 2001, the New York Times focused on U.S.
military biological weapons contractors as the source of the anthrax-mailings.(2,3)
This report relays additional evidence that these criminal offenses, classically
called serial murders by the FBI, are best explained by a relatively new
treasonous form of military-industrial espionage. This conclusion is supported
by the public access reports cited herein, and issued by scientific and
military officials alike, as presented by the mainstream media. Amazingly,
despite generally perceived limitations on freedom of the press, enough
truths are still told today to allow determined investigators and journalists
to piece little known facts together to reflect broad, sociopolitical criminal
realities. The following report provides important background on the suspects
implicated in the anthrax mailings. As with every official FBI investigation
of suspects in serial slayings, a review of the developmental histories
of chief suspects was conducted while considering military-industrial espionage
as a possible motive for the crime of sending anthrax through the mail.
From this knowledge, chief suspects were identified, and a determination
of the sole source of the mailed anthrax was made. The evidence strongly
suggests a conspiracy to commit espionage and treason against America involving
anthrax developers at the Battelle Memorial Institute, and agents within
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and/or national security system.
-
- Introduction
-
- On April 24, 1997, a package containing a Petri dish
labeled "anthrachs" was received by the B'nai B'rith in Washington,
D.C. According to researchers reporting in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
this triggered a new era in mailed anthrax hoaxes and threats. (4)
-
- By February 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) reported that seven major anthrax threats were recorded
during a three month period in 1998. Perhaps not coincidentally, the same
day this report was issued, the media reported four more incidents.(4)
-
-
- Among the first to suspect military-industrial espionage
involving anthrax scares was Leonard A. Cole, a political scientist at
Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey. He recalled that the letters
claimed to contain anthrax, much like the recent mailings to news sources,
"arrived at the Washington Post and . . . at an NBC news office in
Atlanta."
-
- He, like many political observers, balked at the unprecedented
announcement by Defense Secretary William Cohen on national television
concerning a "5-pound bag of Domino sugar" the military official
likened to powdered anthrax. Mr. Cole wrote that the "military's controversial
decision to vaccinate U.S. troops against anthrax," gave the anthrax
threat a "special cachet." I wrote, at that time, Mr. Cohen's
behavior was virtually treasonous. After all, when in America's history
had our military leader(s) publicized our nation's greatest attack vulnerabilities?
A new military mentality, if not a form of psychological warfare, had obviously
foreshadowed current events. In Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism
and Toxic Warfare(5) published Spring 2001, the use of such "PSYOPs"-psychological
operations-was predicted to facilitate severe curtailments of American
civil liberties. Professor Cole editorialized that such threats of bioterrorism,
"reportedly brandished by an assortment of 'rogue states,' helped
the Pentagon, justify its still sizable post-Cold War military budget."
-
- Might all of this reflect the officially heralded, though
mostly classified, "Revolution in Military Affairs"?(6)
-
- Within days of the anthrax hoax at the B'nai B'rith,
FBI director Louis Freeh suddenly offered a very different view from that
which had been previously expressed by leading military and intelligence
officials regarding the risk of bioterrorism. The acquisition or use of
biological weapons by individuals or terrorist groups, he stated, constituted
"one of the gravest threats to the United States."(4)
-
- Discerning the change in official policy and its economic
ramifications, Professor Cole lamented over the soaring bioterrorism budget-$1.4
billion at that time. "Even bioscientists who think the threat is
exaggerated are reluctant to contradict officials who say it is 'only a
matter of time' before one of the many anthrax alarms turns out to be real,"
he wrote.(4)
-
- Background
-
- In a related article, Jonathan B. Tucker, director of
the Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) Nonproliferation Project at Monterey
Institute of International Studies, and his associate Amy Sands, director
of the Monitoring Proliferation Threats Project at that Institute, discussed
anthrax-related hysteria. They reflected on "the tendency of U.S.
government officials to exaggerate the threat of chemical and biological
terrorism" which they wrote was "reinforced by sensational reporting
in the press and an obsessive fascination with catastrophic terrorism in
Hollywood films, best-selling books, and other mainstays of pop culture."
Had their writing not preceded the Hollywood production called "Wag
the Dog" they might have modified their dismal view of "Tinseltown"
truth-tellers.(7)
-
- Likewise, in the Washington Post (March 16, 1999), science
policy analyst Daniel S. Greenberg criticized what he called "a whiff
of hysteria-fanning and budget opportunism in the scary scenarios of the
saviors who have stepped forward against the menace of bioterrorism. .
. . While a gullible press echoes [their] frightening warnings, there are
no independent assessments of the potential for terrorist attacks or the
practicality of the proposed responses."(7)
-
- Indeed, these scholarly assessments foreshadowed today's
news headlines concerning the official origin of the mailed anthrax-reports
that seriously implicate military defense contractors, if not government
officials themselves. What many may wish to believe is an appropriate National
Security response to threatened bioterrorist attacks, is best explained
by the words on the back of every dollar bill-"Novo Ordo Seclorum."
Without entertaining broad conspiracy theories, current events demonstrate
a "New World Order" is certainly evolving from militarily managed
chaos.
-
- Investigating the Primary Suspects:
- (Numbers correspond to those on the attached flow chart.)
-
- Background on the Anthrax Vaccine Maker-Bioport
-
- 1. In March 16, 1999, Robert C. Myers, DVM, Chief Operating
Officer 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
there being dozens of potential bioterrorist threats, Dr. Myers stated
these two threats were the greatest since anthrax is easy to handle and
"because smallpox is highly contagious and probably most of the world
is now susceptible. . . ." He also testified, "Suppose we have
a smallpox vaccine stockpile and a manufacturing capability. . . . Funding
for adequate security must be included in this program if the threat is
to be optimally minimized. Included in these security measures and to prevent
against natural disaster, there should be two or more geographical separate
manufacturing facilities and two or more facilities for storage of the
manufactured vaccine." He further stated that few companies wished
to become involved in the production of anthrax and smallpox vaccines due
to the high expense and risks involved in research and development. Today,
the only other companies linked to smallpox vaccine production include
Baxter, Aventis (Hoechst-Rhone Poulenc subsidiary) OraVax/Acambis, and
Fort Dodge Animal Health as detailed in the accompanying flow chart.(8)
-
- 2. The preceding year (September 1998), Bioport Corporation
took over a failing anthrax vaccine business from state-owned Michigan
Biologic Products Institute. Less than a month later, the company landed
an exclusive $29 million contract with the Department of Defense to "manufacture,
test, bottle and store the anthrax vaccine." Admiral William J. Crowe,
Jr., a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and close personal
aid to President Clinton, with no financial investment of his own, received
22.5% of Bioport's stock to promote, secure, and manage military anthrax
vaccine contracts.(9)
-
- 3. Bioport's principal investor was Saudi business man
Fuad El-Hibri-a close friend of the bin Laden family, and a previous merger
and acquisitions manager for the Rockefeller-linked Citigroup in New York.(9,10)
-
- 4. Bioport shares were also held by The Carlyle Management
Group-America's 11th leading defense contractor largely directed by past
CIA director Frank Carlucci, James Baker III, and George H.W. Bush, according
to several investigators.(11)
-
- 5. According to the Associated Press, Past President
George H.W. Bush acts as a business agent for the Carlyle Group and wealthy
Saudi families including the bin Ladens.(12)
-
- 6. Between 1998 and 2000, Bioport successfully negotiated
through a steady storm of controversy and illegalities to secure ongoing
defense contracts for anthrax vaccine.(9,10,13)
-
- Background on Anthrax Antiobiotic Maker-Bayer
-
- 7. 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.(1)
-
- 8. During the 1980s, Bayer AG and Baxter Healthcare both
marketed blood clotting factor VIII. Both firms were found guilty of knowingly
transmitting the AIDS virus (HIV) to more than 7,000 American hemophiliacs.
Both firms settled out of court for what amounted to economically motivated
genocide.(14)
-
- 9. World War II military background on Bayer: Company
President, Hermann Schmitz, also directed Germany's leading industrial
organization-I.G. Farben. He was found guilty at Nuremberg trials for running
Nazi concentration labor camps. He merely served four years in prison.
According to CBS News war correspondent Paul Manning, Schmitz held more
shares of Rockefeller Standard Oil Co. stock than the Rockefellers. Farben's
principle partner, the Rockefellers, profited greatly from World War II.
A Federal Court judgment cited the Standard Oil Co. as America's "Enemy
National," that is, a "traitor." Bayer was blacklisted at
that time by the U.S. Federal Government.(15)
-
- 10. During the late 1940s, I.G. Farben was "decartelized"
by the Allied High Commission led by America's John J. McCloy-a Philadelphia
banker and lawyer with intimate ties to Rockefeller oil and banking interests.
Farben stockholders received equal shares of Bayer, Hoechst, and BASF stock.(5,15,16)
-
- Related Smallpox Vaccine Makers-American Home Products/Baxter
and Fort Dodge, Hoechst/Aventis/Oravax-Acambis
-
-
- 11. American Home Products (AHP) was formed in 1926 but
evolved largely under the same direction as Bayer, Hoechst and BASF, that
is, from I.G. Farben/Rockefeller financial interests according to cancer
investigator and author G. Edward Griffin.(17) During WWII, Ayerst Laboratories
joined AHP and Wyeth International Limited was formed. This company went
on to "perfect" the smallpox vaccine according to company promotions.(18)
-
- 12. The Genetics Institute, an offshoot of the Rockefeller
initiated and dominated genetics industry, is a biotech research unit of
AHP/Wyeth-Ayerst. The Institute contributes to Baxter's product line of
genetically engineered products, as does AHP, including the smallpox vaccine.(5,19,20)
-
- 13. Aventis Pharma, with headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany-coincidentally
the home of I.G. Farben and the post-war CIA-was formed by Hoechst AG and
Rhone-Poulenc S.A. during their merger in 1999. American headquarters of
the company not far from Trenton, NJ in Bridgewater.(21)
-
- 14. The politically powerful Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA) is directed by Aventis's CEO Richard
Markham. Mr. Markham is also Chairman of the Task Force on Emergency Preparedness
that meets regularly with Bush administration officials. The Bayer and
Merck companies are also heavily represented in PhRMA and its bioterrorism
task force.(21) (Merck should be recalled as the primary recipient of the
Nazi "flight capital" on August 10, 1944 at the time the company's
president, George W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director.(22)
According to Paul Manning, who credited CIA director Allen Dulles for his
intelligence and guidance in Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile, the "flight
capital scheme" assured the rise of the Fourth Reich, alternatively
called the "Neuordnung"-New Order, for the global petrochemical-pharmaceutical
and banking cartels, according to Farben documents discussed by Manning
and others.(15,23)
-
- 15. One example of the steady stream of incestuous mergers
and acquisitions within the IG Farben/Rockefeller cartel, is American Cyanamid's
purchase by AHP in 1994. American Cyanamid is infamous for producing, through
Lederle Labs, monkey cancer virus contaminated poliovaccines linked to
several contemporary human cancer epidemics.(22) AHP then sold its Cyanamid
Agricultural Products business, including carcinogenic pesticides said
to reduce the spread of the West Nile virus, to BASF Aktiengesellschaft
in June 2000.(25)
-
-
- Current Events Potentially Impacting the Anthrax Mailing
Investigation
-
- 16. PhRMA officials have met regularly and illegally
with Bush administration officials under the auspices of "emergency
preparedness" according to The Public Citizen in November, 2001. Multi-million
dollar drug and vaccine contracts have emerged from these mostly secret
meetings that violate the Federal Advisory Committee Act-a transparency
law enacted to protect consumers against closed-door dealings between government
and special interests.(26)
-
- 17. The BBC and London's leading Sunday newspaper, The
Guardian, reported Nov. 7, 2001 that the Bush administration, through the
CIA, hog-tied the FBI in their investigations linking Bush family and bin
Laden family investments, including commonly held stock in the Carlyle
Management Group. This may have profoundly suppressive implications affecting
the indicated investigations of Bioport and Battelle Labs for this and
other reasons cited below.(27)
-
- 18. Based in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Aventis Pharma
AG sought and received a lucrative smallpox vaccine order from the U.S.
government. Along with Bayer, Hoechst, and Merck & Co. all four firms
have major plants within 45-minutes drive of Trenton, NJ where most of
the anthrax mailings originated. Aventis's European operations are jointly
(50:50) owned by Merck & Co.(28)
-
- 19. Aventis collaborates with Oravax/Acambis to produce
enough smallpox vaccine for the federal government's large order, and fulfills
Bioport's Chief Operating Officer, Robert Myers's recommendations to the
U.S. Congress that his company, and at least one other, be able to produce
critical anthrax and smallpox vaccines. The Aventis/Acambis 20-year contract,
awarded by the CDC, is worth approximately $343 million for a 40-million
dose stockpile.(8, 28, 29)
-
- 20. Acambis-evolved from OraVax-allied with Baxter Heathcare
to produce smallpox and West Nile virus vaccines. Aventis fully funds the
OraVax/Acambis dengue fever vaccine and subsidizes other joint ventures.
Months before 9-11, the CDC awarded Acambis a 20-year contract to develop
a new smallpox vaccine.(30)
-
-
-
-
-
- Apparent Origin of the Weaponized Anthrax-The Chief Suspects
-
- 21. In April, 1998, OraVax/Acambis Vice President, Dr.
Thomas Monath met with President Clinton, New York's Emergency Management
Director, Jerry Hauer, Rockefeller University president emeritus and American
Type Culture Collection (ATCC) curator, Dr. Joshua Lederberg, CIA Director
John Deutsch, and government biological weapons expert William C. Patrick,
III, to discuss/negotiate the first of several multimillion dollar anthrax,
smallpox and West Nile virus vaccine contracts. According to New York Times
reporters William Broad and Judith Miller, (31) "seven scientists
endorsed the stockpile." These included "two men who stood to
gain financially from the decision. . . ." These men included Dr.
Monath and Dr. J. Craig Venter, president of The Institute for Genomic
Research near Washington working on anthrax genetics. "The apparent
consensus on acquiring vaccines masked deep divisions among scientists
and military officials," according to reporters Broad and Miller.(5,31)
-
- 22. Around the same time, according to New York Times
reporter William Broad,(2) William C. Patrick, III, was commissioned to
compile a report for an undisclosed government contractor concerning the
ramifications of mailing aerosolizable anthrax. In an earlier report,(3)
investigators Broad and Miller cited the published paper of Dr. Barbara
Hatch Rosenberg, a "private expert in biological weapons," in
which she contended "that a government insider, or someone in contact
with an insider, . . ." was responsible for the mailed anthrax. "One
official close to the federal investigation called the Rosenberg theory
'the most likely hypothesis,'" according to the New York Times article.
Given this most credible theory, obvious suspects among the government
"insiders" with economic and/or political motives to mail anthrax
for military-industrial espionage related outcomes are Bioport-sole maker
of the anthrax vaccine; allied smallpox vaccine makers OraVax/Acambis,
Baxter, and Aventis, Bayer-the anthrax antibiotic profiteer; and most importantly
the principle government and U.S. military contractor-Batelle Memorial
Institute's Chemical and Biological Information Analysis Center with bioweapons
research, development, and testing labs in West Jefferson, Ohio. (See http://www.nbcindustrygroup.com/battel.htm
for Battelle's CBW operations summary and http://www.nrel.gov/surviving_disaster/fema2000/Cbiac/sld016.htm
for pictures of the facilities.)(32,33)
-
- 23. Most heavily implicated is Batelle and Bioport, both
of which maintain financial and administrative links to highest level U.S.
National Security officials and agencies and the DoD's Joint Vaccine Acquisition
Program. Based on a September 7, 2001 Associated Press report, a "new
strain" of extremely lethal anthrax had been under development before
September 2001, by an unnamed U.S. biological weapons contractor. This
fit William Patrick's report in which he "said the American program
had achieved a concentration of one trillion spores per gram." How
was William Patrick privy to this classified intelligence unless he had
consulted, or worked, on the development? To date, according to William
Broad's New York Times article, (2) this concentration of the Ames, IA
strain of anthrax is unprecedented throughout the world. Even the Soviets
were unable to produce weaponized anthrax concentrated beyond 500 billion
spores per gram according top Russian anthrax expert (currently employed
by the CIA) Dr. Kanatjan Alibekov (alias, "Ken Alibek"). No one
else has come close to describing such concentrated anthrax powder. Given
this astonishing difference alone, the FBI should have been able to quickly
determine the few, if not single, U.S. military bioweapons contractor(s)
capable of this unprecedented feat simply by interrogating William Patrick.
This tip may be worth $1 million according to the New York Times.(34)
-
- 24. Keenly related, First Amendment Press investigator
Christopher Williams, determined that a recent U.S. military project to
develop this advanced type of weapons-grade anthrax was reported by the
Associated Press. In the article, Russian munitions expert Alexander Gorbovsky
voiced his government's concerns regarding the increased threat posed by
the obviously active U.S. biological weapons program-a program that according
to all mainstream media reports has been dead since President Nixon's signing
of the 1925 Geneva Accord in 1969. So much for accurate reporting! An anonymous
source at the Pentagon told Mr. Williams that this program was referred
to as "Project Jefferson." Further research by Williams revealed
Battelle Memorial Institute's laboratories in West Jefferson, Ohio had
been contracted to complete this project.(35)
-
- This operation was ongoing around the same time U.S.
military anthrax specialist William Patrick's report on the ramifications
of mailed anthrax powder, commissioned by an unidentified "contractor"-apparently
Battelle-was being completed.(2) In other words, that is why Patrick was
privy to this intelligence.
-
- 25. According to admitted CIA consultant and author Richard
Preston, William Patrick and "Ken Alibek" were very "close
friends!" (36) Moreover, both leading anthrax experts held classified
consulting contracts with the CIA. In this article, Preston revealed that
Alibek, besides using CIA provided VISA cards, was then working at the
Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI).
-
- BMI, according to its website (http://www.battelle.org/nationsecurity/),
is a virtual one-stop-shopping-center for U.S. and foreign militaries,
the Department of Energy, the national security industries and the agencies,
organizations, and institutions evaluating every major aspect of modern
methods of population and environmental control and warfare. With nearly
$1 billion of business volume annually, Battelle's 7,500 scientists, engineers
and support specialists, have designed and developed a wide variety of
innovations from the uranium used in the top secret "Manhattan Project"
of WWII to the Xerox copying process. In addition to their voluminous research,
development, and testing activities, this private institute co-manages
America's most secret enterprises including the DoE's Brookhaven National
Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge Laboratory,
and fully manages several others including the Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory . Their two biological level-3 "Aerosol Engineering &
Biological Sciences Facilities" in West Jefferson, Ohio appear in
photographs on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) promotions
slide at http://www.nrel.gov/surviving disaster/fema2000/Cbiac/sld016.htm.(37)
-
- The BMI/Department of Energy combined web page explained
(on 12/7/01 at http://hattelle.org/doe/natsecurity.stm; get it while you
can!) that Battelle's "National Security" contract called for
the administration of Brookhaven's "chemical/biological stand-off
detection technology" for which New York City was selected for an
"interagency chemical exercise." Moreover, this test was conducted
sometime prior to the new Millennium. Therefore, it would have involved
Jerry Hauer, additionally linking Battelle's chemical and biological warfare
testing program to the military industrialists that met in the Clinton
White House in 1998.(34)
-
- Battelle's "Aerosol Engineering and Biological Defense
Science" description relays their unequaled ability to develop, test,
evaluate, and modify a variety of biological agent detection systems, as
well as the agents themselves. This is done, they say, "for the Joint
Services including BL-3 [i.e., biological safety level of containment]
operations." While superficially publicizing their unique qualifications
and activities in the realm of chemical and biological weapons "defense,"
detailed disclosures here are classified. Relating to their apparent development
of the highly weaponized strain of anthrax in question, they reported their
"Aerosol Science and Technology (AS&T) group develops lab experimental
and field test procedures for . . . point-source emissions and the transport
and atmospheric fate of aerosols by means of modeling and field assessments
for industrial process." Thus, the government "contractor"
for whom anthrax expert William Patrick wrote his mailed anthrax aerosol
dispersal assessment could have only been Battelle for whom "Ken Alibek"
worked; Robert Myers, Bioport's Chief Operating Officer affiliated; and
Jerry Hauer in New York's emergency management helped facilitate tests.
All of these suspects (except Alibek), played roles in the Department of
Defense's Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program that was accelerated due to
the anthrax mailings and national fright they apparently caused.
-
- In summary, there are several serious indicators that
the source of the anthrax weapon used in the mailings was the Ames, Iowa
strain of silica-impregnated and electro-statically charged anthrax produced
by the Battelle Institute under their classified Defense Department "Project
Jefferson." This hyper-weaponized germ was likely produced with the
help (or under the direction) of Dr. Alibekov and/or Dr. Patrick. The fact
that these Battelle agents and affiliated agencies gained notoriety, if
not financially, as a result of the anthrax mailings and fright fits the
parameters of organized conspiracy to commit military-industrial espionage
and serial homicide approaching economic genocide.
-
-
- Additional Suspects and/or Accessories to the Crime
-
- 26. Another vaccine producer, located in Ames, Iowa-Fort
Dodge Animal Health (FDAH)-must not be overlooked. (Again, the Ames, Iowa
strain of anthrax was determined to be the specific type of anthrax, super-weaponized
at apparently Battelle Labs, then transported to, and mailed from, New
Jersey by someone who held high level U.S. National Security clearance.)
Originally called the Ames Vaccine Company, the firm was acquired by American
Home Products (AHP) in 1945, suggesting at this time the company's evolution
and/or financing, like Bayer, Hoechst, Baxter, and Aventis, from the I.G.
Farben/Rockefeller cartel's "flight capital." Ames's FDAH developed
numerous "first" animal vaccines including Lyme, parvovirus,
feline leukemia, Mycoplasma, and suspiciously the West Nile virus vaccine
falsely reported by the media to have been solely produced by OraVax/Acambis.
FDAH is the third largest animal health products manufacturer in the U.S.(38)
-
- 27. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL),
also uniquely located in Ames, Iowa, is a USDA administered entity linked
by unique location and common interest in West Nile virus and anthrax research
and developments to the FDAH. The NVSL reported the first West Nile virus
infection in a horse in Florida. Subsequent investigations showed no infected
mosquitoes or "WNV-positive pools" by Florida investigators.(39,40)
Nonetheless, the news media "wagged the dog" for West Nile vaccine
sales once again benefiting FDAH and the Aventis and OraVax/Acambis partnerships.(39)
-
- 28. The NY Times reported on 11-9-01 that the FBI investigation
of anthrax mailings was stymied.(41) What else might be expected given
the classified nature of this work and its operatives? Most are afforded
protection by the National Security Agency and the CIA. Yet, stunningly,
the FBI and CDC were blamed for destroying critical evidence. According
to the report, the Ames, Iowa strain of anthrax, determined to be the one
mailed from Trenton to Florida and Washington's capitol, had been suspiciously
selected for destruction.(41) Iowa State officials suddenly confessed that
they were ordered by CDC and FBI officials to destroy all of the remaining
Ames, Iowa anthrax strain on or about October 8-9. The strain archive was
then "destroyed on Oct. 10 and 11." That means, as national attention
was first focusing on the American Media, Inc.'s initial anthrax cases
in Florida (October 7), the orders to destroy that particular strain was
given. More incriminating is the fact that this one strain, of more than
1,000 anthrax strains available, had been used in various labs for decades.
Allegedly by mistake, these two agencies-the FBI and CDC-simultaneously
urged/approved the strain's destruction. It should be recognized that by
April, 2000, the CIA assumed all oversight at the CDC, and other health
science agencies, concerning HIV/AIDS (42) and other infectious diseases
considered national security risks, which following 9-11 clearly included
anthrax and smallpox. Again, according to FBI and military officials interviewed
by the BBC and The Guardian's Greg Palast (27), Bush administration officials
and the CIA had blocked FBI investigations involving terror group financiers
with ties to the Bush family and by extension certain vaccine makers.
-
- 29. The NYTimes (11-09-01) also reported that FBI investigators
in search of anthrax mailing clues were refused access to certain pharmaceutical
companies. These undisclosed companies were said to require court orders
for official access to their facilities. No such court orders were subsequently
reported.(41)
-
- 30. The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) supplies
most of the anthrax globally for research and biological weapons development.
They supplied Saddam Hussein with 19 shipments of anthrax in the years
leading up to the Gulf War. Their V.P., Nancy Wysocki, reported working
closely with the FBI on their investigation (41) Dr. Joshua Lederberg,
previously reported to have met with Bioport, their consultants, and Clinton
administration officials regarding anthrax and smallpox risks and vaccine
policies and purchases, was ATCC's director during the time anthrax was
shipped to Iraq. He is also the bioterrorism study group leader for the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and President emeritus of Rockefeller
University.(5)
-
- The CFR is a chief U.S. Government policy analysis and
advisory organization composed of 3,600 mostly wealthy industrialists led
by international banking representatives. In his Farewell Address to the
Nation, on January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's counsel was
highly relevant to this discussion. He warned: "In the councils of
Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We
must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or
democratic processes."(5)
-
- 31. All findings have pointed to anthrax mailings being
a "white collar crime"-a military-industrial conspiracy involving
chief biological weapons "preparedness" firms and the CIA. This
conclusion is evidenced by the highly weaponized nature of the silica powdered
anthrax that required a bioweapons savvy microbiologist and expensive equipment
to produce. Also, mailed anthrax letters originated from Trenton, New Jersey,
St. Petersburg, Florida and Malaysia-also reflecting international financial
motive(s). Additional support for this hypothesis comes from an Atlanta
package shipped to Kenya on Oct. 9.(43) The sender was not implicated.
Apparently, an agent with access to this private mail, and Battelle's classified
military grade anthrax preparation, somehow inoculated the parcel. Again,
Atlanta is home to the CIA-officiated CDC.
-
- 32. Bayer AG posted $165 million in losses during the
third quarter of 2001, according to the Associated Press.(44) Was this
sufficient motive for the "wag the dog Cipro sales scam" reported
by this author and published by the Washington Times?(1) Probably not,
because there was far more money and political concessions to be made from
the anthrax fright than this.(26)
-
- 33. On November 9, 2001, The Guardian reported that U.S.
health secretary Tommy Thompson asked Congress for $500 million for enough
smallpox vaccine "so every American will be assured there is a dose
with his or her name on it if it is needed." Only weeks earlier the
HHS secretary said he had worked a "special" deal with Bayer
to purchase 100 million tablets of Cipro for 95 cents each.(45) This, despite
equally effective and better tested alternatives, such as doxycyclines,
were more readily available for less than five cents each.(46)
-
- A week later the New York Times announced that between
$1.5-3.2 billion was to be spent "largely on drugs and vaccines"
to fight bioterrorism in the United States.(47)
-
- Finally, on November 23, 2001, the New York Times reported
that Aventis Pharma of Frankfurt, Germany had developed a promising pharmaceutical
formula for smallpox-"cidofovir and a chemical known as S2242."
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), "told a Senate committee last month that
'the animal model data are very impressive. . ." (48) Dr. Fauci is
America's AIDS czar, under direct oversight by the CIA. He was heavily
implicated by this author in Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola-Nature,
Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Press, 1998) for having helped suppress
awareness that the NIAID helped Germany's Merck pharmaceutical company
develop the 1974 hepatitis B vaccine given to gay men in NYC and Blacks
in Central Africa that according to much scientific evidence was the specific
vaccine that triggered the international AIDS pandemic.

- Summary and Closing Questions
-
- "One should not increase, beyond what is necessary,
the number of entities required to explain anything," urged William
of Occam in providing his "Razor" analysis. This report seeks
to do the same by simplifying the correlates and antecedents to serial
homicide in the anthrax mailing mystery. This analysis is based on the
FBI's official model of analyzing suspects' developmental histories and
potential motives in such cases.(49)
-
- The foregoing analysis recognizes the highly unsavory
developmental histories of central suspects in this case-those who stood
to gain most by the extensive news coverage of the anthrax crimes-investors
in pharmaceutical and vaccine firms.
-
- In conclusion, this report characterizes the unique U.S.
military weapons grade of anthrax developed from the Ames, Iowa strain
that was used in the mailings and the organization most capable of making
it. Given several incriminating associations and documented testimonies
published in reputable periodicals, the logical origin of this extraordinarily
deadly form of aerosolizable anthrax is the Battelle Memorial Institute-a
major global "defense" contractor employing affiliated anthrax
experts additionally linked to the implicated drug and vaccine companies.
-
- Although several contractors are implicated in what might
best be called "military-industrial espionage," the accompanying
flow chart depicts the primary suspects are linked to the highest levels
of government and to the Central Intelligence Agency both of which operate
with little to no effective oversight or judicial regulation. This, then,
is the likeliest explanation as to why the FBI has been unable to determine
what seems obvious to many and heavily supported-a conspiracy to commit
military-industrial espionage.
-
- Perhaps economic incentives were not the only motive
for the targeted anthrax mailings. On October 31, 2001, The Boston Globe
heralded an unprecedented
- CDC initiative that might dramatically suspend civil
rights in the event of a declared biological emergency. The "Model
State Emergency Health Powers Act," it was reported, would give public
health officials and states governors the power to arrest, transport, quarantine,
drug, and vaccinate anyone suspected of carrying a potentially infectious
disease. The plan (available for downloading from www.publichealthlaw.net/MSEHPA/MSEHPA.pdf.)
is precisely the type of document that Battelle Memorial Institute's social
service providers and leading academic consultants periodically compose.
The fact that their website promotes the institute's pioneering role in
marshalling America's upcoming public health response to future outbreaks
is chillingly Machiavellian. (See: http://www.battelle.org/hhs/default.stm.)
-
- Based on the above information, basic questions for serious
investigators might include:
-
- 1) Who in the Battelle Institute's Jefferson labs had
access to the optimally concentrated aerosolized, silica-based, Ames strain
of anthrax, and who transported it to Trenton, New Jersey and elsewhere
to be mailed?
-
- 2) Who in the CIA was assigned to oversee this classified
biological weapons, or bioterrorism, "defense" operation, and
who, if anyone in the agency (as with Battelle personnel), had the wherewithal
and matching itinerary to effect the anthrax mailings in Trenton, St. Petersburg,
Atlanta, and Malaysia.
-
- 3) Who in the Bush administration ordered, according
to the BBC and The Guardian, the CIA to clamp down on FBI investigations
linking bin Laden family assets to Bush family investments, and finally,
-
- 4) Is America at risk and under attack from within our
own secretive national security system, possibly more than it is from foreign
entities and terrorist groups?
-
- If we were able to accurately answer these questions,
the revelations-no less extraordinary than the data and conclusions presented
in this report-might serve as a basis upon which to rethink and redirect
our "War on Terrorism," defense initiatives, and public health
policies to honestly safeguard the American people in service to freedom
and the free world.
