"Hamilton, Peabody, Salem, Middleton, Topsfield, Marblehead, Wenham and Lynnfield."

Holy Smokes! Each one of those names matches a suburb or school name in Harare, Zimbabwe!

I expect a whole slew of hoaxes, culminating on and around 9/11, perpetrated by pathetic, socially inept losers craving attention. (Which is why I plan to have an airtight alibi on those days...)

Most the hoaxes will be carried out by municipal employees terrified that monies will go away if no terrorism hits their end of the $lop trough. Look for lot's of such stuff for months to come.

This could be a twist on the "divert the police" tactic. Just send baking soda to every police station in the area, and wait for it to hit the news. In the ensuing panic and loss of command and control, hit a few banks, or maybe a research facility, depending on your end goal.

BOSTON HERALD.com (AP): "SUSPICIOUS POWDER SENT TO 10 NORTH SHORE TOWNS" (NOTE: The powder was sent to 10 police departments. At least one of the notes sent with the powder contained the words "black September.") (090402)

"Hamilton, Peabody, Salem, Middleton, Topsfield, Marblehead, Wenham and Lynnfield."

Holy Smokes! Each one of those names matches a suburb or school name in Harare, Zimbabwe!

Hamilton, Topsfield, Marblehead, Wenham: Ritchie Rich horse towns.

Lynnfield: Ritchie Rich suburb.

Salem, Peabody: Working middle class.

A strange, strange mix of towns with absolutely no significance whatsoever except that they're fairly nice towns, all of them.

From a web site in your google search : "In November members of the Black September terrorist group--who took their name from the civil war of September 1970--avenged the deaths of fellow fedayeen by assassinating Prime Minister Tal in Cairo. In December the group again struck out against Hussein in an unsuccessful attempt on the life of the Jordanian ambassador to Britain. Hussein alleged that Libya's Colonel Muammar al Qadhafi was involved in a plot to overthrow the monarchy"

Hmmmmmmm, Massachussetts is an interesting place in the scheme of things. Notice how the east coast, America's political power center, seems to be the center of attention for the most interesting of the hoax letters as well as for the real letters?

There is a woman scientist who is a close associate of Rosenberg who hails from Massachussetts. She is in fact the woman who originated the theory of anthrax being used as a weapon in Zimbabwe. There's no coincidence that she and Rosenberg are tight as a Dutch Boy's finger in a levee. Rosenberg, of course, is desperate to finger an American in order to push for her, and Castro's, pet project of forcing the US to submit to international inspections of US research labs.

I don't know much about Nass but I suspect she is also an activist who also wants to frame an American scientist to suit their agenda. Apparently her report appeared in the "Physicians for Social Responsibility Quarterly." Do you know anything about this group?

"Meryl Nass, M.D. : Dr. Nass, at the time of publication, was affiliated with Wing Memorial Hospital, Palmer, Massachusetts and the Department of Internal Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA USA. Her continued work on anthrax is available at her web site http://www.anthraxvaccine.org, Physicians for Social Responsibility Quarterly 1992: 2-198-209 "

So, do these activists stand to gain more in more ways than just as leftist peace activists? Do they have something to gain financially too, perhaps through Clinton administration efforts to push the anthrax vaccine via Bioport, or are they pure ideologues hellbent on an American connection and willing to push hysteria and frame some of our best scientists to do it? Would an 'anthrax researcher,' if judging by her article, be capable of producing anthrax or stealing samples of it to frame someone who is obviously a threat to her and Rosenberg's agenda?


Lookie, lookie what came up when I looked up the "Physicians for Social Responsibilty":

Look who the person who came up with the Zimbabwe anthrax paper is, the one Rosenberg used to accuse Hatfill:

http://www.parkviewhospital.org/nass.htm

Look what organizations she belongs to. Look at the list above to see how our friends at the Seattle newspaper, Iraq, the Federation of American Scientists, and these peace groups are related. So much for Kristof.

A person who specializes in internal medicine is an authority on anthrax in Zimbabwe? I think not.

Interesting how all of these people were heavily involved - and cited as 'experts' by the media, in trying to prevent US troops from getting the anthrax vaccine, and how all of these people also happen to be avid supporters of Hussein's regime and well left of center, yet managed to snooker Republicans as well as Democrats and play them like a drum. I used to be critical of the vaccine, but now that I see who is who and how they have been involved in that whole episode, I am now thinking I've been snookered by Hussein too.

Preventing US troops from being protected by that vaccine is extremely convenient for a country which has an interest in making sure we would be vulnerable to the one weapon he has aplenty... biological weapons. Keeping US troops and civilians vulnerable until the time was ripe to make a strike on the US is also rather handy.

More than ever I believe the anthrax cases, and the events of 9/11, lead back to Iraq.

"As with GWS, however, the scientific evidence is so lopsided that Rep. Shays and the media feel compelled to invent experts to oppose the vaccine. One such is Dr. Meryl Nass, who has testified before Rep. Shays's committee. Although dozens of newspapers have identified her as an anthrax-vaccine specialist, she is nothing more than a Maine physician who argues for the existence of GWS and another syndrome the mainstream medical community rejects, multiple chemical sensitivity. She's also a member of the activist, antimilitary group Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Gannett News Service reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner John Hanchette, himself a GWS advocate turned antianthrax-vaccine crusader, calls Nass a "much-published expert on anthrax," failing to mention that her only publication in a major medical or science journal was a letter to the editor. Nass admits that her expertise on anthrax is simply self-learned, but she makes up for it with a loud voice, a sturdy soapbox, and spicy comments that activists and reporters like to hear. She has been made an expert precisely because she says outlandish things that actual experts in the field would never say." - SOURCE
