White House & CIA Cover-up of Anthrax Attacks: Even Fort Detrick Scientists Themselves Think the Killer Anthrax Came from their Facility
Source:George Washington’s Blog
Even experts at the U.S. bioweapons facility at Fort Detrick think that the anthrax which was used in the 2001 attacks came from their facility:
”In an e-mail obtained by FOX News, scientists at Fort Detrick openly discussed how the anthrax powder they were asked to analyze after the attacks was nearly identical to that made by one of their colleagues.
”Then he said he had to look at a lot of samples that the FBI had prepared … to duplicate the letter material,” the e-mail reads. “Then the bombshell. He said that the best duplication of the material was the stuff made by [name redacted]. He said that it was almost exactly the same his knees got shaky and he sputtered, ‘But I told the General we didn’t make spore powder!’”
Indeed, 3 of the 4 suspects the FBI is investigating are employees of Fort Detrick, which is run by the Army.
This new information verifies that the anthrax came from the Fort Detrick military base (confirmed here).
Some people are pretending that someone unconnected with the army bioweapons facility at Fort Detrick stole the anthrax. However, as the above-quoted article states:
”Fort Detrick is run by the United States Army. It’s the most secure biological warfare research center in the United States,” a bioterrorism expert told FOX News.”
It is not very likely that someone could steal anthrax from the most secure facility in the U.S., run by the Army.
Indeed, the FBI apparently knew in 2002 who mailed the anthrax letters. See this, this, and this.
And yet government investigators and prosecutors have covered up and refused to disclose who did it for 6 years. Initially, the FBI tried to frame an innocent man for the attacks.
More importantly, “The FBI has completely shut Congress out of its now five-year investigation into anthrax attacks on Capitol Hill and around the nation”. In other words, Congress — which legally has every right to know what really happened, and which was the main victim of the attack — is being kept in the dark. If the FBI really didn’t know who did it, and was really conducting an honest investigation, why would it stonewall Congress?
There is strong evidence that the anthrax attacks were a false flag attack. Indeed, the bioweapons expert who actually drafted the current bioweapons law (the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989) while working for President George H.W. Bush has said that he is convinced the October 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people were perpetrated and covered up by criminal elements of the U….. The motive: to foment a police state by killing off and intimidating opposition to post-9/11 legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the later Military Commissions Act. See also this.
At the very least, the FBI and the White House are actively covering up for the person who really did it.

Since the proven source of the Aimes anthrax, Fort Detrick, is run by the US Army and by law has extensive security and chain of custody procedures, it is not plausible that the poison could have been taken without notice. The FBI has been on the case for nearly 7 years and conducted thousands of interviews and reviewed appropriate records. There have been several Fort Detrick “persons of interest” and now they conclude that the perpetrator is Dr. Bruce Ivins, who conveniently is said to have committed suicide.
Although the FBI would undoutedly like to close the investigation, due to its high profile and political implications, key Congressmen have objected. Not only were 5 Americans murdered by the anthrax, many others were injured and the entire nation was terrorized. Not only how prohibited biological weapons could be in existence, but also how they could be misused must be thoroughly understood. Just as with the repeated recent USAF fumbling with nuclear weapons, answers are required.
However, since ABC News, Senator John McCain and President G.W. Bush and other neo-cons claimed the anthrax was from Iraq and used it in part to justify the invasion and occupation of that country, resulting in over a million deaths, there are international implications to the dereliction of duty at Ft. Detrick. The anthrax posioning was also a defacto critical part of building support for passing the Patriot Act, so it is imperative to ascertain how broad the conspiracy extends. Given the documented claim that senior neo-cons, including at the White House, had obtained the anti-biotic Cipro in advance of anthrax being used, there appears to be evidence of broad involvement.
The question becomes one of a cover up. If the FBI and the jurisprudence system again fails to get to the bottom of this scandal, it may become emblematic of the excesses of executive priviledge and improper conduct of the Bush/Cheney Administration. Their legacy remains to be written, but their accomplishments are not positive for most Americans or most of the world. They may be feared by many, but they have not built appreciation or respect except from the few in the privileged class. This period is likely to be studied long into the future for what not to do. The nation and the people are not better off for their antics and deceptions.
