TWO "Fake Anthrax" Attacks

I found 2 "fake anthrax" cases today: one involved an elementary school in Willingboro, NJ. The second was an attack on the American people by a Left wing blogger and his "expert".

The guy running the "Smirking Chimp" took about two months to knock me out of there ~ running bareback in my own Freeper name too!

I never met such a naive and ignorant bunch of people in my life on that site. Most of them didn't seem to be nearly as nasty as your typical DUer, but they held to some strange beliefs.

If nothing else that gang proves that Hannah Arendt was right when she referred to the "banality of evil". Fur Shur they'd let AlQaida in to run the country.

Interesting. I had no idea that Sherwood Ross was the guy running the "Smirking Chimp". I learned something new today.

What's so funny is that his "theory" isn't even remotely original. Hmmmm, where exactly have I heard it before? Oh yeah, that's right, it's the Barbara Hatch Rosenberg theory! At least Mr. Smirking Chimp could have had the decency to give her some attribution.

I suppose he should get some credit for at least being smart enough not to defame somebody with no evidence.

An alternative hypothesis-which I've had for about 2 years,is that someone in Barbara Hatch Rosenburg's "circle"-by which I mean: scientists and others who had their shorts in a knot over the very idea the US might be able to defend against and defeat a biowarfare attack - might actually have carried out the attack. One group in particular comes to mind;but, unlike Dr. Rosenburg,I'll take that suspicion to the grave with me-unless something resembling evidence pops up.

Geneformjersey, there is, of course, "evidence" ~ it has to do with the efforts by a faction within the old Young People's Socialist League (YPSL) who attempted to carry out what we today would call a campaign of terrorism against Postmaster General William F. Bolger.

As you recall they mistakenly believed that he'd fired all those YPSL types who went on strike at the New York Bulk and Foreign facility for political reasons.

Actually, many of them were let back on the job after it was determined they'd been misled by some union guys about the legitimacy of a strike. The more volatile and violence prone part of that group were not rehired.

I don't see how you can have been part of the American Left in the 1970-2000 era and NOT have had some level of contact with these people.

If, as I suspect, the intent of the anthrax attack was actually to disable the postal service in the Financial and Political capitals of this country (New York and Washington), the guys in that YPSL faction and their current friends (Babs Hatch perhaps?) should be thoroughly investigated.

We know who these people are after all.
