Anthrax? Hello? Anybody Home? Hello?

 

Here we are, it's 2006. Anybody remember the Anthrax scare?

 

Ahhh c'mon, you remember don't you? It was that freaky time in your

life when you weren't sure whether the world was about to suddenly

come to an end. Remember the days soon after 9/11, when anthrax

started appearing everywhere? Do you remember how gas masks were

selling on Ebay for hundreds of dollars? Do you remember how you

feared for your family's life as your television sold you a bill of

goods about these Anthrax letters, reportedly sent by Arabs?

 

Do you remember how Anthrax was on television, in magazines, in

newspapers; seemingly downloaded into your brain at almost every

moment of your waking day-- for months?

 

According to a LexisNexis search conducted by TomDispatch.com, " between Oct. 4

and Dec. 4, 2001, 389 stories appeared in the New York Times with " anthrax " in

the headline. " During the same period, 238 " anthrax " stories appeared in the

Washington Post. Think about that for a second.

 

Now consider the noise made by all the other media outlets. Now add all that

noise together. That's a lot of noise.

 

These days though, the silence is deafening.

 

.....

 

But here is the real gist of it all:

 

All the anthrax used in the various anthrax attacks in 2001 came from

a United States military base. They all came from the U.S. Army

Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), Fort

Detrick, Maryland. But there were two separate mailings of anthrax

letters. One batch of letters was mailed on or about September 18,

2001. This batch went to various media outlets and contained cutaneous

anthrax (Ames Strain).

 

Then on or about October, 9, 2001, the second batch of letters was

mailed out. This batch contained a much more lethal " weaponized

version " of the Ames strain. These letters were sent to two Democratic

Senators.

 

Hydrocarbon analysis showed that all of the anthrax found in the

letters was incubated within two years of the time it was mailed.

.....

 

A Few More Things to Make Your Head Spin

1. Members of the White House (including Bush, Cheney, and the

Cabinet) were given the antibiotic CIPRO on September 11, 2001-- seven

(7) days prior to the date the first anthrax letter was even mailed.

(I wasn't aware that antibiotics could save you from a jumbo jet

smashing into your building, cool!)

2. Even after it was determined that the only anthrax to ever be used

in a terrorist attack against American citizens came from our own

military base, the Bush administration had Colin Powell waving around

a vial of faux-anthrax at the United Nations in February of 2003. We

invaded and occupied Iraq because, as Colin Powell stated that day,

" Saddam Hussein has not verifiably accounted for even one

teaspoon-full of this deadly material " . (Considering that it was our

own anthrax that was used against us in the 2001 anthrax letters,

isn't this statement just a tad ironic?)

 

So let's recap.

 

The Anthrax came from an American military base.

The Anthrax required sophisticated knowledge and a high level of training.

The Anthrax letters contained feeble minded language to make us all

believe they were written by some " stupid Arab " .

The letters were mailed within one week of 9/11. (Were they just

waiting around for a 9/11-like event to take place or was it all just

a big coincidence?)
