81. Anthrax attacks and the Impending Coup
Edited on Fri Aug-10-07 01:42 AM by EnricoFermi
The first anthrax attacks were this crude form (resembling purina dog chow) and may have been carried out by actual terrorists, possibly actually al Qaeda. These were sent out on Sept 18th, making it fairly likely to be related to the September 11th attacks. They were targeted at the media, specifically designed to scare the public. This is in line with terrorism.

The second attack, sent on October 9th, was a copycat and used a high military grade form of anthrax. The reports stating that it wasn't high quality were about an analysis of the first attacks and not the second. People tend to think they had to be the same person or group because of the handwriting so they will look at the anthrax from the first attack and assume that since it was crude that both were this same substance. However, if you read carefully, the second attacks did contain a very high grade form that was easily aerosoled using aluminum, exactly what the United States had developed (and was continuing to illegally develop).

Specifically:

1) Attack two, mailed on October 9th, three weeks after the initial mailing on September 18th, only targeted two people, coincidentally two of the most prominent members of the opposition, Democratic Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. If Daschle and Leahy caved, the rest of the Democrats would. Recall that Cheney told Leahy "to go fuck himself"

2) The first and second attacks differed substantially. The first involved a far cruder substance, resembling "yellow dog chow" as reported the media and it was sent almost immediately after Sept 11, to a wide range of media organizations, obviously to get attention and cause panic. The second, the famous white powder, was considered a highly concentrated "military grade", the exact strain as the one developed by US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick. Maryland.

3) The FBI investigation was mysteriously botched or blocked and evidence was even destroyed. This is partially because the development of this anthrax was in direct violation of an International Treaty that the US was supposed to be following, but more than likely because this was an insider with links to the Bush Administration, and probably direct ties to Dick Cheney. The FBI investigation even noted that it likely came from a far right wing individual, unlike the news circulated during the pandemonium. This was such a sensitive issue that investigating it potentially created more of a problem than anything else, with many people possibly being held accountable for the continued weapons program.

4) Because of the two different types of anthrax, the media and even some experts often confused the two, assuming that there had to be a direct link between the two incidents, simply because the letter handwriting matched. Some media outlets, most notably those with ties to Rupert Murdoch's media such as Fox News and NY Post reported that this form of anthrax resembled weaponized forms found in Iraq, in an attempt to sell the war. Strangely, this may be partially true. This is because the United States supplied Iraq with biological and chemical weapons during its war with Iran. However, the strain (by DNA) found in the Daschle/Leahy letter more closely resembled a more recent form, specifically and more recently used in US military facilities, illegally as mentioned above.

5) The handwriting in the Daschle/Leahy letter, although it did resemble the first letters, is significantly neater and has exact copies of characters from the first letter, copied multiple times. Unlike the first anthrax letters, a single character such as an 'E' will exactly resemble itself when used again in that same letter. This is unnatural to anyone writing words and focusing on completing a sentence, no matter how careful they are, but completely consistent with someone trying to forge a copy. In addition, when drawing a line under each of the characters in the two sets of letters, you see a clear straight pattern in the first letter, but a jagged patchwork in the second, as if these characters were slowly placed in their spots and not neatly written out. So while this person was careful to match the handwriting style, he or she completely failed to make a letter that followed natural handwriting flow. It is a clear forgery.

Please print out the letters and confirm this for yourself.

So I firmly believe that the second attack was a copycat attack, set up by members of our own military and people (or a person) inside bioweapons programs at the direction of the White House. It was an effort to push the Patriot Act through Congress without careful analysis and can be looked at as the initial beginning of the coup. Fortunately for us, some of the more obscene aspects were removed, but we've seen a lot of it rear its ugly head again, even recently.
---------------------------------------------

Now, with this October 18th attack accepted, we must look at the impending attacks very carefully, especially if they are as substantial as I assume they will be. After looking at everything from recent legislation, such as FISA, the executive orders, FEMA contracts, statements about support being different by September, and a theory going around that Congress was shown something to pass FISA (Olberman), then combining this with the language of the administration and the perceived confidence they are showing, I have one conclusion that I hope is incorrect:

Post attack, the agenda is to gain complete control over the government with little or no power to a compliant Congress, at the control of the Executive with the Pentagon controlling the populace and the Judicial supporting both departments. At its worst, we will see martial law, a slowly increasing use of internment camps (holding up to 200K), and absolutely no ability to protest or practice some of the most basic liberties. The population will pretty much be unaware of it when it first starts, accepting it for their own safety as we saw in 2001, but to an even greater degree out of mass panic. This time we will not get it back, and the coup will be complete. I would use the 1933 Business Plot for historical context. Bush's own grandfather was allegedly involved with that.

To add even more startling information. Very recently, a friend of mine who is a pilot for the Air Force, was so concerned about a briefing that she had on the likelihood of terrorist attacks in the next 90 days, that she has been telling the closest of all family and friends to prepare by stocking food and water. She was very upset. She thought (or was told) that it would probably be in multiple cities this time to demonstrate that none of us are safe wherever we live. Right after this briefing, she had a bioterrorism and chemical weapons training that was not part of routine. It apparently is only rehearsed every "eight years or so", and had everything from explosions on base to chemicals being released. Other people I know in the government have also been preparing for chemical and bioweapons attacks, either administratively or actively. This can't be a coincidence can it? If anyone else here has information to share, please do.

I see a lot of people talking about this just being fear mongering, and I am sounding a little Chicken Little here I imagine. However, we must at least think about the whole process and expose it transparently without causing mass panic or being considered a crazy conspiracy theorist. This stuff can happen here, and if you connect the dots, it has been. I do not believe 9/11 was an inside job or anything like that, but the reaction to it was intentional, and I think the incompetence was probably deliberate. They've known that we need to get both Iran and Iraq for some time. They can't sell another invasion, so something has to happen.

Are we willing to stand up and prevent it?
