Feds Can’t Admit Anthrax Source

One of Their Own

The government most likely

knows the source of the

anthrax-laced mail, says a

respected group of

scientists, but has been

reluctant to say so.

Exclusive to American Free

Press

By J. Petherick

The uncomfortable silence

regarding the recent

anthrax attacks which

contaminated congressional

buildings, post office

distribution centers and

several media offices indicates

that government

investigators have an idea of

who is behind it and

it is most likely one of their

own people, reports a

U.S. scientific organization.

“All letter samples contain the

same strain of

anthrax, corresponding to the

AMES strain in the

North Arizona State University

database (which has

been used for identification),”

reports Barbara

Hatch Rosen berg of the

Federation of American

Scientists, the successor to

the 1940s Federation of

Atomic Scientists (FAS).

“It has just been reported that

the complete

sequence has been determined

for the genomes of both

the anthrax used in the Florida

attack and the AMES

strain to which it

corresponds,” says FAS. “This

work was done under government

contract by the

Institute for Genomic Research,

a private non-profit

organization. The results have

not been made public

but they are in government

hands and there has been

no retraction of the

oft-repeated official statement

that the letter anthrax matches

the AMES strain.”

Fort Detrick in land

controls at least four

substrains of AMES anthrax. At

least 20 laboratories

have obtained strains for

research purposes from the

Army base, according to FAS,

but only four are

suspected of having the

capabilities to “weaponize”

anthrax.

Bioweapons experts note that

the AMES strain is

probably the earliest form of

anthrax cultured in

laboratories, dating back to as

early as the 1920s

in the United States.

Bill , the inventor of

the U.S. weaponization

process, says the process of

turning the bacteria

into a biological weapon is

secret but involves a

combination of chemicals.

Weaponized anthrax can be

easily identified by

researchers.

Government investigators ruled

out Iraq as the

source because the sample

collected from the office

of Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.)

“contains a special

form of silica used in the U.S.

process. It does not

contain bentonite (used by the

Iraqis),” says FAS.

THE PERPETRATOR

The source of the anthrax-laced

mail “appears to be

a forensic expert,” says FAS.

“The perpetrator is

most likely an American

microbiologist who has

access to wea ponized anthrax

or to the expertise

and materials for making it, in

a U.S. government or

contractor lab.

“The U.S. government has

undoubtedly known for some

time that the anthrax terrorism

was an inside job,”

FAS continues. “They may be

reluctant to admit

this.”

Moreover, FAS reports:

“The recent anthrax attack was

a minor one but

nonetheless we now see that it

was perpetrated with

the unwitting assistance of a

sophisticated

government program. It is

reassuring to know that it

was not perpetrated by a lone

terrorist without

state support.

“It is not reassuring, however,

to discover that a

secret U.S. program may have

been the source of that

support, and that security is

so dangerously lax in

military or defense contractor

laboratories.”

Hi my name is Kathy from Canada and I was just wondering if there is any more

information with regards to going to the school with the information that we

signed up for a few months ago.

Could someone please let me know what is happening with regards this.

Thanks
