Anthrax oli sitä myrkyllistä jauhetta
eli "pernaruttoa", jota lähetettiin kirjeissä yhdysvalloissa mm.
senaattori Daschlelle viikko syyskuun 11. iskujen jälkeen eli
18.9.2001 alkaen. Kuusi ihmistä kuoli. Ensin asiasta syytettiin
Al Qaidaa ja Osama bin Ladenia, sitten Irakia ja Saddam
Husseinia.
Sivun lopussa on päivitys asiasta
18.8.2008 eli miten asia lopulta hoidettiin.
Mutta sitten huomattiinkin
tieteellisissä analyyseissä, että aine oli niin edistyksellistä,
että sitä voitiin valmistaa vain yhdysvalloissa asevoimien
huippulaboratorioissa. Aine oli 10 kertaa voimakkaampaa kuin
siihen asti tunnettu edistyksellisin Neuvostoliittolaisten
valmistama Antrax.
Tiedotusvälineet vaikenivat aiheesta
välittömästi eli tämäkin oli "itseaiheutettu epidemia" kauhun
ylläpitämiseksi kansalaisten keskuudessa.
CIPRO oli vastalääkkeen nimi, Bayerin
valmistama. Sitä ennen Bayer oli konkurssin partaalla ja tämä
tapaus pelasti sopivasti yhtiön ! Tuotteen myynnistä tuli
miljardien voitot. bush lähipiireineen oli sijoittanut miljoonia
Bayerin osakkeisiin kuukautta ennen syyskuun iskuja.
18 biologia ja virologia, jotka
aineesta jotain tiesivät, ovat merkillisesti kuolleet viiden
kuukauden aikana, välillä 15.9.2001 - 20.2.2002
In November of 2001, a series of mysterious deaths of renowned
microbiologists started. Sixteen died within five months, most
having been murdered or killed under unusual circumstances.
-
On November 12, 2001,
Dr. Benito Que, 52, was killed in a carjacking, later deemed
a possible stroke. Que was an expert in infectious diseases
and cellular biology at the Miami Medical School.
- On November 16, Don Wiley's body
was found in the Mississippi River. Wiley, 57, was one of
the world's leading researchers of deadly viruses.
- On November 21, Dr. Vladimir
Pasechnik, 64, was killed by a stroke. He was an expert in
the weaponization of germs and viruses.
- On November 24, three
microbiologists died when a Swissair flight from Berlin to
Zurich crashed. Dr. Yaakov Matzner, dean of the Hebrew
University school of medicine; Amiramp Eldor, head of the
hematology department at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and a
world-recognized expert in blood clotting; and Avishai
Berkman, director of the Tel Aviv public health department
and businessman.
- On December 10, Dr. Robert
Schwartz, 57, was stabbed and slashed with what police
believe was a sword in his farmhouse in Leesburg, Virginia.
Schwartz worked at Virginia's Center for Innovative
Technology on DNA sequencing and pathogenic microorganisms.
- On December 14, Nguyen Van Set,
44, died in an airlock in his lab. His organization had just
discovered a virus which can be modified to affect smallpox.
- In January, 2002, Ivan Glebov was
killed in a bandit attack and Alexi Brushlinski was killed
in Moscow. Both were world-renowned and members of the
Russian Academy of Science.
- On February 9, Victor Korshunov,
56, was killed by a cranial injury. He was the head of the
microbiology sub-faculty at the Russian State Medical
University.
- On February 11, Ian Langford, 40,
was murdered in his home. He was one of Europe's leading
experts on environmental risk.
- On February 28, Tanya Holzmayer,
46, and Guyang Huang, 38, were killed in an alleged murder/suicide
incident. Holzmayer helped create drugs that interfere with
replication of the HIV virus, and Huang was a
highly-regarded scholar in genetics.
- On March 24, David Wynn-Williams,
55, was killed while jogging. He was an astrobiologist with
NASA Ames Research Center.
- On March 25, Steven Mostow, 63,
was killed in a private plane crash. He was an expert on
bioterrorism threats.
Virallinen uutisointi asiasta 1.8.2008
USA:n pernaruttokirjeiden tutkija teki itsemurhan
Vuoden 2001 pernaruttokirjeiden
lähettäjäksi epäillyn miehen uskotaan tehneen itsemurhan. Yhdysvaltain
hallinnon alaisessa, biologista sodankäyntiä tutkivassa laboratoriossa
työskennellyt 62-vuotias tiedemies Bruce Ivins kuoli alkuviikosta
sairaalassa Marylandissa. Los Angeles Timesin mukaan Ivins otti
yliannostuksen vahvoja särkylääkkeitä pian sen jälkeen, kun Yhdysvaltain
puolustusministeriö ilmoitti nostavansa syytteet häntä vastaan.
Kokeneena mikrobiologina
tunnettu Ivans auttoi aikanaan Yhdysvaltain liittovaltion poliisia
FBI:ta pernaruttokirjeitä koskevissa tutkimuksissa. Ivan muun muassa
analysoi senaattorin toimistoon vuonna 2001 lähetetyn pernaruttokirjeen
sisältämää materiaalia.
Pernaruttokirjeitä lähetettiin
pian Yhdysvaltain vuoden 2001 terrori-iskujen jälkeen useille
poliitikoille ja tiedotusvälineille. Iskuissa kuoli viisi ihmistä.
Presidentti George W. Bush
epäili aluksi pernaruttokirjeiden lähettäjäksi Osama bin Ladenin
johtamaa al-Qaida-terroristijärjestöä. FBI profiloi kuitenkin pian
iskujen jälkeen jauhekirjeiden lähettäjän yksinäiseksi, tieteellisesti
suuntautuneeksi mieshenkilöksi, joka kantaa kaunaa yhteiskunnalle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Totuus on että Bruce joutui asiassa syntipukiksi ja
FBI, CIA, Salainen Palvelu jne. tappoivat hänet.
Ensin FBI syytti asiasta Brucen työkaveria
(Steven Jay Hatfill) mutta hän haastoi viranomaiset
oikeuteen, voitti ja sai 5 miljoonan korvaukset "herjauksesta" ja vääristä
syytöksistä.
Toisella kertaa FBI toimi
fiksummin ja tappoi epäillyn, jolloin hän ei voi enää haudan takaa puolustautua.
Työkaverit ja muut tutut ovat varmoja Brucen lavastuksesta syylliseksi. Murha
tietysti lavastettiin itsemurhaksi.
Eli business as usual
amerikkalaiseen tyyliin, Oswaldikin tapettiin heti ja asia oli loppuunkäsitelty.
US anthrax mystery lives on
At best, you can take the
FBI at its word, and one of the seminal events in the lead up to the
Iraq war - that contributed to the heightened sense of threat and
national hysteria that was used to justify the invasion - was the work
of one unstable scientist employed at a US military laboratory.
At worst, the FBI is trying
to cover up its mismanagement of the investigation and the aggressive
tactics used, and whoever was responsible for the anthrax that was
mailed to members of the US congress and the media in late 2001, which
ended up killing five people, will now remain a mystery.
The source of the anthrax
has been established, traced to a batch grown at the Fort Detrick
laboratory in the US state of Maryland.
Contrary to public
assumptions at the time, neither Iraq nor Saddam Hussein was ever
involved.
The FBI has also proved,
beyond reasonable doubt, that Bruce Ivins, the scientist who committed
suicide in late July - apparently after hearing that he would be
indicted for mass murder - was seriously weird.
A 'patsy'?
The clear imperative to
justify a seven-year investigation into the worst act so far of
bio-terror in the US inevitably raises the spectre of the "patsy", the
phrase made famous by Lee Harvey Oswald after his arrest for the
assassination of John F Kennedy, the former US president.
There has been an enduring
uneasiness about the official explanation for one of the most traumatic
events in US history, and the vast conspiracy industry, offering
competing accounts of the assassination, are its most manifest symptom.
One of the reasons is that Oswald, like Ivins, never
lived to answer the charges.
The anthrax case is further complicated by the fact
that the FBI had first set its sights on a different suspect.
In the spirit of post 9/11, when all the rules were
suspended, and torture and throwing people in jail without trial were
permitted, the FBI was unscrupulous in the pursuit of its prey.
That ended up costing US taxpayers more than $5m, as
Steven Jay Hatfill, who also worked at Fort Detrick, sued the government
for making his life hell and destroying his reputation.
Ruthless tactics
The tactics used against the subsequent suspect,
Ivins, were particularly ruthless.
FBI officials are alleged to
have confronted him and his family in a shopping mall, brandishing
photographs of the anthrax victims and calling him a murderer.
It would be enough to drive
anyone, let alone someone with a tenuous grasp on sanity, over the edge.
In Ivins's case it
succeeded. We are now all but invited to read his suicide as a
confession.
Either that, or the FBI has
some explaining to do.
Theories continue
It is a lot easier to
convict dead men. In Oswald's case there was a previous assassination
attempt, the subsequent murder of a policeman, and a dramatic arrest in
a movie theatre.
Yet there persists a general
bewilderment about the Kennedy assassination.
And in the Ivins case there
is nothing approaching conclusive evidence, other than the absolute
necessity for the FBI to draw a costly and controversial investigation
to a successful conclusion.
The September 11 attacks
themselves overshadow the anthrax letters, and though they were less
televisual, with a much lower body count, there is no underestimating
the effect that they had on the mood of the country at a critical moment
in its history.
The explanation now on offer
for this strange and sinister event is far less satisfactory than the
account of what happened in Dallas in 1963.
It is now destined to recede
to that "grassy knoll" in the public imagination, and be the fruit of
conspiracy theories for years to come.
