This only can be done by sacrificing hundreds of Rhesus monkeys ? an activity that is unlikely to go unnoticed by the neighbors.
Oh, quite right. Were my neighbors to begin sacrificing hundreds of Rhesus monkeys I would certainly raise an eyebrow to express my consternation.

Because the Fibbbies and the CIA no longer have the "tentacles" or the clues they had prior to the Democrat surge of laws cutting them off at the Scrotary Midline.

Rather than working for the country, many of the FBI intelligence agency dogs have turned to enriching themselves rather than protecting the rest of the population.

The Liberal Nationalist Socialists have turned these agencies to their own use, and the sickness that is a cancer in the Democrat party that Clinton espoused is now working against the American population rather than for it.

Why the hell do you think asses like MacAuliff skate on obvious market behaviour and the lies they spew on a continuious basis?

They have "protection" much like the Chicago Mob of he Capone days.

Protection made up of trial attorneys and hired thugs that go before the Congressional hearings, are never heard from again, but are never prosecuted.

Why not?

The attorneys who now run your US Government (the Congress) are the most dirty bastards to walk the earth since the French owned the Bastille.

The American people are too stupid to figure it out, and they will suffer for that lack of intelligence...

Fresh from the profiling success of the experts in the DC sniper case, we need to committ criminal profiling to the dustbin of pseudo-science.

When it comes to terrorism the rule here is "there are no rules" That's why it's called terrorism, because it is not predictable.

With the help of anonymous FBI profilers and activist academics such as Dr. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, the American media have been wed to the notion that (it is) a disgruntled, white male loner from within the U.S. biowarfare-defense program

Sound familiar?

Methinks they are as accurate as they were about the D.C. Sniper and are deceiving us for the same purposes!

Still waiting for someone to explain to me how this ham-handed episode in any way rated the designation "terror".

Compared to what we've seen, I'm still expecting to find out a 15-year-old kid with a chemistry set did it.

The "profiling" process, always a matter of guesswork and talent, produces endless hypothesis, and progresses to hopeless group-think. Look how absurd the recent "psycho-sniper" profiling became. Bureaucrats and news media chose the story they like best as if it were fact, circulate the story widely, and then are reinforced in their error when they hear the story as fact in the media and word of mouth. Any competing narrative is ignored. This used to be called a "circle-jerk", a most accurate metaphor.

Doubtless, they solved the whole thing long ago and are now monitoring the guilty parties to find out who their contacts are. Don't take my word for it, ask the "Bush is Machiavelli" crowd!

Anthrax:... Always said the "terrorists" had a little lab out west someplace (Unabomber hideout style). The "maker" was killed as part of "no witnesses" or future blackmail possibilities and the lab burned in a phoney western fire.

Watching these two creeps, M & M, almost looks like a duplicate scenario and in the same time frame. I believe Ottlie died at the end of October and was the last Anthrax victim who died. I'll check on the date.

But a 15-year-old kid with a chemistry set couldn't do it . . . that's the point.

The folks that are running around yelping that we gave anthrax spores (well, usually they are even more vague for obvious reasons, they say "bioterror agents," or some such nonsense) to the Iraqis have no understanding that anthrax is a naturally-occurring agent. It's weaponizing it that is difficult, i.e., grinding it into a such fine powder that it can remain suspended in air, etc.

That's not what I'm getting from all the reports.

"Anyone know the whereabouts of Muhammed and "son" for September and October of 2001??"

Good question. I wonder how the handwriting on the anthrax letters compares to the snipers' notes.

Fair enough. Remain sceptical.

I think we're going to eventually find that the "weaponizing" isn't as difficult as they say. It just takes "patience", something we are short on but a strongpoint of the "terrorists".

The point is: "IT CAN BE DONE, IT WAS DONE and IT WAS DELIVERED IN A "MEDIA HEADLINER FASHION".

I don't know myself. I'm going from an article I read in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy (Federalist Society) some time ago. I am certainly not an expert.

The handwriting doesn't match the Anthrax letters but the shooter's letter was apparently done by Malvo. The large spaces between words appear deliberate. We still don't know about Muhammed's printing habits.

The scenario's certainly follow the "here, then there, then here mentality.

I remember someone saying the incorrect spelling of Penicillen (sp) was Spanish.

Backtracking a bit: I think the words on the Tarot card might be interpreted as "God is God" which is an Islamic saying I believe. The "I" is "playing" like..."goose in a noose" which rhymes with moose.
