My Complete Whackjob Nutbag theory on white powders and anthrax

Fab

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.

Dont anyone Flame Francis.....

Buddy you nailed it this time!

[Dog]

Look at this!

I saw you post this before. Perhaps it was good that you started it's own thread. If what you are speculating is true, it could be very scary. But then, maybe that is what they are counting on.

I would like to know if there are any return addresses on these envelopes, and where they are postmarked from.

[francisandbeans]

That's the thing...how smart are these folks? I know they are technologically and socially dumb, but they are well versed in warfare tactics. Most Muslim countries have been at war for centuries....war they know...everything else they are idiots on.

[browardchad]

Very logical -- interesting how they have exploited our culture and weaknesses so accurately.

[TheOtherOne]

Interesting....

It seems self-protection to the extent possible is the only way to go.

Site selling masks

AND, sending out inert white powder is something anyone can easily do and copycat. So Jihad sympathizers in the US can join in the terror from home. Now every armchair Mujehed in America can do his part to back up the murderous terrorists with decoy letters. It's like Terrorism, the Home game.

Wrong Francis! This worker was exposed 2 weeks ago. Tom Brokaw didn't seem to be saying much!

[francisandbeans]

unless you wear a mask all the time, they are useless and filters are expensive...I wonder if dust masks can capture anthrax spores?

[TheOtherOne]

It makes perfect sense to do a small-scale attack, see how the CDC and the US Gov respond. Then plan the real attack with that knowledge.

[francisandbeans]

and do you think that now that the cat is out of the bag, that those opportunists at NBC wont exploit it?

[TheOtherOne]

I wonder if dust masks can capture anthrax spores?

I have heard yes. My feeling was this, I saw the planes hit NY before DC. When the cropduster is over San Francisco, I put my mask on in LA. If they hit LA first, I am dead.

You know what though? I keep thinking back to the Tylenol scare a number of years ago. Didn't it turn out it was some guy who knocked off his wife and was covering his tracks by tainting loads of bottles of Tylenol? Why couldn't this be something similar?

[willyb_jr]

A very plausible theory.

[callisto]

I posted a thread that seems to be being overlooked, but is highly relevant to your topic:

Sources:Boca hospital over-prescribing Cipro

It details all of the side-effects people can suffer from this drug when self-medicating or over-prescribing.

[francisandbeans]

welll, cynaide you can get...anthrax is a completely different story. You need finances to pull that off.

[callisto]

oops...I forgot to add that the article says they are running out of Cipro, etc. at the local pharmacies

Why haven't any of our resident rocket scientists thought of checking at the post office level, instead of waiting for retail alarms after delivery?
