Anthrax too convenient
by Marnie1

The timing of the anthrax attacks was just too convenient, for the NeoCon's plans for Empire, to be believable.

Mostly, however it is virtually impossible to believe that someone so technologically and mechanically sophisticated that they could work with a killer bug for thousands upon thousands of hours and never breach the sterile the environment of the lab would choose has a delivery medium the type of ordinary business letter mailing envelope that we have seen in the news photos. If for no other reason, than that he would be at great risk of spilling lethal spore on himself or his possessions. That’s after he dribbled them throughout the lab building on his way out with his leaky envelope.

If, however, such a person were to intentionally choose a mailing container that would spill spore and thus disseminate death far and wide, some one as intelligent and technically sophisticated as this man was, could surely pick a better means than he did.

And if the intention was to spread death as widely as possible, why post most of the mailings to locations relatively near his home and work.

And why drive to the mail box near the sorority when he could be strewing spore along the entire mailing route and still get the envelope delivered to the sorority house? Better yet while driving to and from the soroity mail box, design a way to be strewing spore along the entire route.

Because the stuff has to be inhaled to be deadly...subcutaneous anthrax is for the most part, cureable. Inhaled, on the other hand, is mostly fatal. That's why the people handling it (post office/mail room workers, etc.) lived, while the people that opened the letters (who inhaled the particles) died.

This guy knew exactly the kind of panic he was creating. He was a bitter scientist. He preyed upon the panic of 9/11 by creating more panic. He spent WAY too many afterhours in the lab, and was the only person dealing with this strain of anthrax. How is it possible that someone else in another place could've had THE SAME EXACT STRAIN? That's like telling me that someone across the country has the exact DNA as you. Puhleez.

You don't want to know the truth, you just want to hate someone because you're afraid. You should be afraid: but of your own government not Ivins. He was also a victim of the Bush/Cheney regime.

If he were truly a victim, why did it take 7 years to get to him? He's not a scapegoat. "You don't want to know the truth"...get over yourself. You're so full of crap that you contradict yourself constantly. "Cell phones don't work in the air" (they do), "steel doesn't melt" (it weakens at 450 degrees and up), "it was a missile that hit the Pentagon" (security footage shows a plane).

Your "truth" is just like the "truth" we never landed on the moon...despite overwhelming evidence, you're not convinced. That sounds like YOU are the one living in a fantasy world, where the gov't is out to get you.

Fact: Ivins spent way too many afterhours in the lab working on anthrax, and never documented any of it. Fact: The strain of anthrax is tied to him and him alone. For your theory to be true, someone else would have to be working on anthrax with the same strain (that's like saying someone else has your exact DNA -- it doesn't happen).

You have no scientific basis for your claims, so just go away. Your whole point is that the gov't is lying and caused 9/11, anthrax, and every other ill in society. How many people do they have working on these things? I love how YOU are the only one with the truth....brilliant. Just like those wackos that think aliens landed on Earth, but we could never land on the moon. Hilarious. Keep dreamin', buddy. Even without any evidence. It's been 7 years...you'd think that if Bush could really control all of this, that he would've been successful in all of the invasions, etc. So he blew up towers, created anthrax, and invaded Afghanistan 8 months into his administration, but has done nothing since???

You're delusional.

Fact: Ivins spent way too many afterhours in the lab working on anthrax, and never documented any of it.

Ivins daughter Amanda was having difficulty at school. He made up hours at his lab at night and during weekends, mostly at the very start of the school year, before 9/11. What documentation? You mean the after hours documents the FBI used to mislead the media?

Fact: The strain of anthrax is tied to him and him alone. For your theory to be true, someone else would have to be working on anthrax with the same strain (that's like saying someone else has your exact DNA -- it doesn't happen).

The FBI says that there were over a hundred scientists at sixteen different facilities with access to that exact, genetically identical strain. Ivins was pointed to (supposedly) when they were able to eliminate the "universe of others" who had access. It is common practice for scientists to casually share cultures, including anthrax. It only takes one little smear of culture to quickly grow as much material as desired.
