FBI Frame-up of Bruce E. Ivins Made Simple

The question is thus whether Ivins was working with fully weaponized materials. The answer is that he was not. Neither the DOJ oral presentation, nor anything in any of its documents states or implies this. In fact, the topic is sedulously avoided even though -- or precisely because -- it is essential to making the case against Ivins. Better, Jeffrey Taylor, who seemed to have a weak grasp of the evidence, in his opening remarks gave away the fact that the anthrax in the letters did not come directly from the flask with the sample of spores "RMR-1029" that Ivins monitored and that were reportedly a genetic match to the anthrax that killed its victims. Mr. Taylor advised:

As the court documents allege, the parent material of the anthrax spores used in the attacks was a single flask of spores, known as "RMR-1029," that was created and solely maintained by Dr. Ivins at USAMRIID. This means that the spores used in the attacks were taken from that specific flask, regrown, purified, dried and loaded into the letters.

So, that's the game and the frame-up right there. Regrown spores don't weaponize themselves. They do not regrow super-small and covered with state-of-the-art anti-clumping silicon with a weak electrical charge for dispersion. And how do we know, aside from voluminous ongoing reports that we will soon examine, that there was such silica on the spores, and that it was cutting edge technology? Search Warrant Affidavit 07-534-M-01 (available at USDOJ: Amerithrax Court Documents) states in pertinent part, p.4: http://www.usdoj.gov/amerithrax/

Microscopic examination of the evidentiary spore powders recovered from all four letters identified an elemental signature of Silicon within the spores. This Silicon signature had not been previously described for Bacillus anthracis organisms.

..............................

What do the DOJ and FBI offer us for how Ivins could have done all this? Silence and disinformation. The aforementioned affidavit states:

Culturing anthrax and working safely with dried anthrax spores requires specific training and expertise in technical fields such as biochemist or microbiology. It also requires access to particular laboratory equipment such as a lyophilizer or other drying device, biological safety cabinet or other containment device, incubator, centrifuge, fermentor, and various protective fear, all of which Dr. Ivins had readily accessible to him through his employment at USAMRIID.

The above paragraph is a carefully worded frame up. Yes, a special drying device is needed to coat the anthrax with silicon in the right way; it is a spray dryer -- a device that works with intense heat to vaporize nearly instantly a water suspension of silicon particles that then is drawn to the anthrax. Ivins had access to a lyophilizer, but not to a spray dryer. A lyophilizer freeze dries liquid anthrax into a powder. So the affidavit slips the fact that Ivins lacks even the basic tools by including "or other drying device" and states (truly and deceptively) that Ivins had access to "all of which," i.e., the unhelpful lyophilizer but not the essential spray dryer, let alone the specialized silicon and team of colleagues to make it work. The Post continues about the requirements:

1. Reading through some of the background info out there...

there are all kinds of excuses generated for the presence of silica in the analysis. These range from "some bacteria create their own silica" to "silica may have simply been mixed in without the sophisticated coating process". Much of this is based on anthrax expert Ken Alibek's statements and those of his associates, but he has also been accused of making non-scientific statements.

One smoking gun may simply be the concentration of the spores in the Senate anthrax, which was initially reported as being the same as the weaponized form made at Dugway Proving Ground. The anti-conspiricist argument is that repeated processing could refine the powder to this concentration.
On edit: I should clarify this. The really concentrated, powdered form produced at Dugway may never have been sent to Fort Detrick - this likely was NOT what was in the flask. Ivins would have had to reproduce what Dugway already posessed.

Also, it seems that being electrostatically charged would explain how the material would float around so easily. What equipment would be required for this?
