Thanks for posting the FBI tip hotline!
I sure hope that none of us need ever to use it!
You're welcomed!

I already used it a few days after the incident when I found the home page of one of the guys suspected in the Sept 11th attack. . .

Think of it in terms of Dr.Menengle working at our Walter Reed Army Hospital during World War II!

We've got folks from Mengele's shop writing our biology textbooks.

We've got Japanese who engaged in live vivisection and bio-weapons research establishing multi-million dollar concerns -- like Green Cross and Alpha -- in California.

We've got folks from Unit 731 and Mukden becoming (along with the "former Nazis") esteemed members of our own NIH.

Our hands have been dirty for nearly 70 years.

Did they ever get back to you?
They have both my home and work contact information. Immediately after I sent it I talked to my cousin - who is a retired Dallas Policeman and had extensively worked with the FBI and Secret Service during Presidential visits to Dallas (he still keeps in touch with them too!) - and he said that they have people that take those tips and work them and pass them to the right contacts in the organization. Bottom line, they get acted upon.

I think they've received over 100,000 tips in the last two weeks so I'm sure they are sooo busy right now.

Send them the information and they'll act on it. If you want to talk to someone, just wait for them to get back with you I guess. I'd definitely leave the information on the website, though. That way they get a concrete tip in black and white and your message gets to them. . .

How well I know!

I was using the Mengle thingy to help some understand that Bin Laden and his funders are right here in Boston ,using tax dollars to make the biologicals that will kill us!

It is all so delicious!

Bin Laden family owns stake in Hybridon (HYBN)

By Ted Griffith

One of Osama bin Laden's brothers and a separate Saudi banking family suspected of ties to bin Laden's terrorist organization own 28 percent of biotechnology firm Hybridon, according to the Boston Herald.

In its report, the paper, citing SEC filings, reported Tuesday that Yahia M.A. bin Laden owns 16 percent of Cambridge, Mass.-based Hybridon. The newspaper also reported that another stockholder is a member of a Saudi family that controls a bank that has been accused of trying to transfer money to front organizations for bin Laden's terrorist group. It added that other members of the bin Laden family have condemned Osama bin Laden's actions and said they have no ties to him.

Shares of Hybridon (HYBN) , which trade on the OTC bulletin board, slipped 2 cents to $1 Monday.

FOX just announced that Osamas brother Yahia was arrested in Switzerland today!

I didnt catch it all, but something about him wanting to charter a plane to take him somewhere!

If you find something, please post!

The shareholders and history of HYBRIDON $$$$, followed by the SEC documents at SEC.gov is fascinating!

Why exactly are Saudi millionaires and terrorist funders of terrorists wanting to own an American biological products firm?

A company that is using and researching ANTISENSE, the antidote for biological weapons of mass destruction?

Why are these same entities owning WORLDSPACE Communication satalites, MEDICAL EMERG.INTERNATIONAL,NICRIS,WORLDCARE and other health care firms, including two walk in health clinics at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT?

Lets see,hmmmm!

Thanks for the posting!

While you are being so helpful, how about posting the shareholders for a couple different years?

Therein lies the goods!

Checking out the fronts and the dots, and the twisted mazes,compared to the clean sounding names like General Motors and National Institutes of Health makes for fun!

People may be fooled by the first glance,but researching builds the indictments!

"A second stockholder in the company is Abdela bin Mahfouz, a member of a wealthy family which controls Saudi Arabia's largest bank, National Commercial Bank. That bank was accused by the Saudi government in 1999 of trying to transfer at least $3 million to front organizations for Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization. As of last May, Abdela bin Mahfouz owned nearly 12 percent of the stock in Hybridon."

Here's the Schedule 14A from 12-2000...I think.

Some different names last year...Interesting connections between the different Corps, and LTD partnerships. I'm fairly sure some office full of FBI CPA's are and have been pouring over some of these connections.
