My Complete Whackjob Nutbag theory on white powders and anthrax
Fab

Posted on 10/12/2001 12:31:19 PM PDT by francisandbeans

OK, folks....I have posted this on a couple of threads....but someone suggested I make a thread of it...here it is:

The anthrax scares of the past 10 days has prompted many to ask questions.

Why would they target with an anthrax delivery device that won't kill a lot of people?
Why are they targeting the media?
Is this related to 9/11?
What's with all the white powder?

Let me lay out the theory:

The media is a target for a very specific reason. This prevents the government from covering up the details. This is why they went after the sensationalist media and why they went after a major broadcast network. The delivery system is designed not to maximize death, but to make us "anthrax aware"

Reportedly, the anthrax was mailed in a white powder. Along with the actual cases, we are finding cases of white powder mailings with no anthrax. Many have speculated that the white powder is done by sick pranksters. I think this is an impossibility. Let me explain...

We learned about the white powder on Monday evening (via Newsweek). Tuesday, we saw several packages and envelopes with white powder show up. It is nearly impossible for a prankster to gather themselves quickly enough to do it. There is a plan in action:

Part A:) mail out packages with anthrax contained in a white powder.
Part B:) mail out packages without anthrax, but with the white powder.

What does this do?

CDC has to investigate each of these powder instances. This will strecth thier resources. If enough actual anthrax envelopes are sent out, the US mail will be severly slowed or stop al together. This will have a massive effect on our psyche, our economy and our Law Enforcement community.

What they will do is play the Anthrax Russian Roulette with these packages until the fed decides to start issuing massive amounts of antibiotics to the populace...therfore reducing our supply.

Now, with antibiotics increasingly rare and the CDC and other departments stretched to thier limit...the terrorists are free to strike a full scale bio-attack and us unable to treat those infected.

If they can get the stuff aerosilized, the delivery method can ba a paint can, bug sprayer, or crop duster....

There are currently about 5 million Middle Eastern Muslims in america. 600 is nothing.

Do you really think postal workers will happily sort mail containing potential anthrax or even fake powder and then deliver it every day for the next 3 months without freaking out?

I've been wondering myself how long it will be before there's a response from postal workers. Also, if all this stuff has been going through the mail, unless it's really well sealed in the envelopes, shouldn't there be some cases of anthrax among postal workers (even if most of the envelopes were "duds")?

If postal employees believe that there is a potential for antrax to be in the mail, they will demand to work in full body contamination suits to pick up the mail and sort it.

Working in full body suits (properly, anyway) is not all that simple, and not everyone can handle it physically or mentally.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. It could be one of our own, but what I find most curious is that this last letter was to Tom Brokaw.

"What means of delivery would the terrorists have left in order to attack us biologically in a way that would a create massive epidemic?"

at first i thought it was a prank by teenage boys
but only a foreigner would use the post office...
who knows when or if those "powder letters" will ever be delivered;
or even to the right people...

If a state of emergency were to be declared, could the guvmint take control of the Rx manufacturing facilities? In any case, I assume the companies would voluntarily switch to making antibiotics.

Anyone else notice how hard it is to determine whether or not someone has anthrax? Heard Brokaw talking about his assistant; apparently it took three tries with two different labs to get the "positive" response. If that is the case, why wouldn't it stand to reason that anthrax has been in the population for years undetected? Only 20% of those left completely untreated for cutaneous exposure die from it. Seems to me this is terrorism by hysteria, nothing more.

Certainly would not hurt my feelings if we bombed the domestic terrorist types too.

I agree. We need to deport all non-citizens now. I don't care what the "politically correct" crowd thinks about this. Our lives are at stake.

Everyone I talk to says the same thing.....so what can we do about it? This is OUR country and I feel that my elected officials owe us an explanation as to why this is not being done.

"I'm much more suspicious of ELF than I am of OBL, for the time being. He may be using "sleepers," but we've had eco-terrorist "sleepers" like Kazinsky killing Americans for years!!!"

Exactly...MUD

Good question, Max. What is the background level of anthrax exposure? If you simply test random people, without any reason to suspect exposure and in the absence of a terrorism scare, at what rate would they come up positive? Any freeper biologists care to venture a guess?
