Free Republic | 10/29/01

Posted on 10/29/2001 7:07:24 PM PST by I want to know

Several days ago I clicked on a link contained in an article on Free Republic (sorry, I forget what the article was titled). The link took me to the website www.blackpox.com. To say I was disturbed at what I saw is to put it mildly. And I didn't feel in my gut that this site was done by a prankster.

The website was titled "Weareamongyou" (we are among you). While waiting for the picture to load, the loading box contained the words "We have just begun to fight." The picture that appeared on the website was one of an American flag upside down with the words at the bottom "The revolution will be self-replicating." When you clicked on the picture you were then shown another picture of what appeared to be a child in a coffin with smallpox (the picture on my computer was somewhat blurry). I am recalling the details from memory but I think this is an accurate representation of what I saw.

Yesterday I went to the website to show my husband but was denied access by my server. I'm not upset that this particular website is unavailable, for as I stated before, it really disturbed me. But I was wondering how a website is denied access. Some FR members did say they were going to inform the FBI of this site so I was wondering if that's why it is now unavailable. I also did a Google search on blackpox because I didn't know what it was. The information was rather frightening.

Anyways I'd appreciate your thoughts about the site if you saw it and what are the chances that we could be terrorized by blackpox.

1.That scuz bucket has a P.O. Box! He's smart enough not to list his home address...

2. I wonder how many white people are involved directly, or supportive of, the Muslim Terrorists? That could be a real problem, especially when we are supposed to look for someone "suspicious" what do you guys and gals think?

This got my attention in your post. Marburg virus is a close cousin of Ebola and add variant, it suggests something awful.

You might still be able to find the browser cache file "weareamongyou.htm" (or .html) with My Computer -> Find in Windows (you're on your own with Linux etc). If you can find it, you can double click and it will display in the browser.

Marburg virus is a member of the family of filoviruses. It behaves similarly to Ebola and is readily detectable in the blood and tissues of infected individuals. An early positive PCR test may confirm the diagnosis, but a negative, test does not refute it. IgM antibodies are detectable by ELISA within the first week of illness, and cell culture in VERO cells can be performed using blood, urine or fresh tissue samples.

Sounds like this creep needs an FBI interview, if not a detention.

why would someone even post something like that, hope he didn't use an alias, but that's doubtful, hope the FBI has been contacted & that they track him down. boy we sure have enough nuts to contend with, plus the real threats.

Internet site Blackpox.com has finally been taken down

A internet site so terrible that I called the FBI has been taken off the internet. When I typed in the name it says. You are not authorized to view this page HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

Here was the horror

description" content="Blackpox, sometimes known as hemorrhagic smallpox, is the most severe type of smallpox disease. In a blackpox infection, the skin does not develop blisters. Instead, the skin becomes dark all over. Blood vessels leak, resulting in severe internal hemorrhaging. Blackpox is invariably fatal.">

freepers get web site pulled

It proably got pulled. I did see it and like you my gut feeling told me that this was for real.

About three years ago I came upon something so horrific on the net.

The photos I saw were so terrifying I have never been able to get them out of my mind. These photos were real. My husband has years of experience in photoshop and these were not altered.

I turned the site into the FBI and it was gone. There are some very sick and dangerous people in the world.

You can still see it: it was archived.

Go to web.archive.org and enter "blackpox.com" - it will come back with three versions.

That web.archive.org site is slow as mollases, but I saw the first page, and the picture links to a second page, and in the text of the second page is a quote:

"Some fools just plain need killing." - Tim May, 14 Mar 98

In the META tags for the first page are the following:

META NAME="description" CONTENT="Blackpox, sometimes known as hemorrhagic smallpox, is the most severe type of smallpox disease. In a blackpox infection, the skin does not develop blisters. Instead, the skin becomes dark all over. Blood vessels leak, resulting in severe internal hemorrhaging. Blackpox is invariably fatal."

META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="cypherpunks cryptography crypto-anarchy smallpox variola children chimera ebolapox hemorrhagic"

Sick...

You know, I didn't even catch this in the WHOIS. The "Marburg Variant" virus featured in a plot on the Fox television series "Millennium" a few years back. It may have been in the series finale (such as it was, it was abruptly canceled after production ended on the third season) -- the lead character's wife was killed by it. Note also the whois record was created in August 1998, by my reckoning that would put it a few months after the series ended. It's quite possible this was a Millennium fansite caught in the crossfire of the Attack on America's New War on Terrorism Strikes Back.

So lemme get this straight, this guy named his consulting company "Marburg Variant", after a deadly virus?

I ask this question again, since we (at least we USED to) pay the ocassional muslim scuzzball to turn on his country in order to help us out, how many Americans are working for them? This is not a joke to me. I don't find any of these Anarchist hackers funny in the least. They have GOT to be found and "gathered"!

I highly recommend Richard Preston's book, The Cobra Event, to any who have an interest in blackpox and bio engineered smallpox. It was available at Amazon in paperback a few weeks ago but seems to be on backorder now.
Preston also wrote The Hot Zone and a number of his articles on biolgical warfare, ebola, marburg and smallpox have recently been posted on FR.
