THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TAKES CIPRO ON 9/11/2001
That the CIA was directly involved in or had foreknowledge of the September and October 2001, anthrax attacks, is consistent with what we know of the history of this organization. That the U.S. government, under the Bush administration, was in some way involved is also evident based on the behavior of top officials in the Bush administration, who began taking the anti-anthrax medication, Cipro, weeks before the first attack was made public, that is, on 9/11/2001.
As first reported by Associated Press (110), "White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago," that is, on 9/11/2001. "White House officials won't discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now. On the night of the September 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was a 'precaution,' according to one person directly involved."
According to the conservative public interest law firm, Judicial Watch (111), President George W. Bush twice refused to answer when he was asked about this, or when asked if he had been tested for anthrax.
When coupled with information indicating that the White House began taking Cipro on 9/11/2001, long before the first anthrax attacks became public and on the same day as the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and Twin Towers, we must conclude that the Bush administration, and most certainly Dick Cheney, had advanced knowledge that the anthrax attacks were about to begin.
"We believe that the White House knew or had reason to know that an anthrax attack was imminent or under way."
-- Larry Klayman, Chairman of Judicial Watch.
"We did not know about the anthrax attacks. Period!" responded Gordon Johndroe, White House spokesman. The reason staffers were given Cipro was "a precautionary measure in the early hours of Sept. 11 before the situation could be fully assessed," Johndroe explained.
Note the words: "Early hours." Had the Bush gang begun taking Cipro before the first plane struck?
Of course the Bush administration knew in advance that an anthrax attack was in the works. Note that they did not take antidotes for smallpox or other biological weapons. Only anthrax.
The Bush administration not only knew in advance, they welcomed the attacks, which is why they were careful to ensure that they, and they alone, would be protected, whereas the American public would be further terrorized.
There is a pattern here. They knew about the anthrax, and they knew in advance that terrorists would hijack commercial jets and slam them into the World Trade Center -- which is why Attorney General John Ashcroft quit flying on commercial jets 6 six week before the 9/11-hijackings.
Terrorism almost always benefits right wing governments. The threat of terrorism, especially if it can be blamed on "opposition," or "terrorist" groups, is a well established means of consolidating and increasing right-wing government power. The anthrax attacks which spread panic throughout the nation, in October of 2001, is exactly what one might expect of a government which has a long history of using biological weapons on its own citizens.

Notes:
1). One of the first purposeful attempts to infect Native Americas occurred in 1738 when the Cherokee nation was provided with "infected goods." According to the English trader James Adair "the Cherake received a most depopulating shock by the small pox, which reduced them almost one-half, in about a year's time: it was conveyed into Charlestown by the Guinea-men, and soon after among them, by the infected goods." A second epidemic swept through the Micmac communities around 1747. According to French observers, British officers and traders intentionally spread the disease by distributing infected clothing (see Baston du Bosq de Beaumont, "Motifs des sauvages mickmaques," Les Derniers Jours de L' Acadie).

14). It has been said that the "history of chemical warfare begins with Fritz Haber, a world-famous chemist, who developed poison gases for Germany during the First World War. Haber was already famous for having developed a process for extracting nitrates, which could be used to make explosives as well as fertilizer. During the first world war he devoted himself to developing a poison gas that would easily kill men hiding in trenches and fortifications. Poison gases were already in abundance. What Haber was after was a toxin that would be perfect for distribution over a battlefield. Haber conducted his work at his Berlin institute, and began refining chlorine gas, which was soon put to the test on the battlefield. In 1919 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry. However, there is evidence that the history of chemical warfare and the use of "Greek fire" actually begins in the United States. In 1862, Edwin Stanton, President Lincoln's secretary of war, received a proposal for chemical warfare from Mr. John Doughty of New York, which included a sketch of an artillery shell, Mr. Doughty wrote: "Above is the projectile I have devised for routing an entrenched enemy. It is so irritating in its effects upon the respiratory organs that a small quantity produces incessant and uncontrollable violent coughing. A shell holding two or three quarts of liquid chlorine contains many cubic feet of the gas." He went on at great length to describe the potential of his chemical bomb against ships, towns, and men in trenches. "As to the moral question involved, I have arrived at the somewhat paradoxical conclusion that its introduction would very much lessen the sanguine character of the battlefield and render conflicts more decisive in their results."

Basic Books: New York, 1986; Gerald L. Posner & John Ware. "Mengele: The Complete Story," McGraw-Hill, 1986. Mengele, the "Angel of Death," studied anthropology, paleontology, medicine and eugenics while a student. Eugenics offered him the opportunity to search for the keys to unlock the secret of DNA and to the sources of human deformities and imperfections. Mengele adhered to the theory of "unworthy life," i.e. some lives were simply not worthy of living. One of his professors, Dr. Ernst Rudin, taught that some lives not worth living, and that doctors had a responsibility to destroy unworthy life and remove it from the breeding pool and the general population. Rudin was drafted by Hitler to assist in composing the 1933 Law for the Protection of Heredity Health. This Nazi decree required the sterilization of those with feeblemindedness schizophrenia, manic depression, epilepsy; hereditary blindness, deafness; physical deformities, and alcoholism. After he received his degree in medicine, Mengele leaped at the chance to work at one of the huge concentration camps being built across Europe, as they offered fantastic opportunities for in vivo experiments on human subjects. In May of 1943, Mengele was assigned to the concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland. His work was funded through the Rockefeller Foundation and the German Research Council. Mengele immediately set about trying to discover methods for eradicating inferior genes from the human population and to finding the keys to creating a Germanic super-race. Dr. Josef Mengele once commented that "there are only two gifted people in the world, Germans and Jews, and it's a question of who will be superior." Mengele was in agreement with Hitler: The Jews had to be destroyed. Mengele liked to whistle while he worked. However. except when interacting with his "twins" he was otherwise described as detached, haughty, and coldly cruel. Some of Mengele's experiments included the dissection of live infants, children, and adults; sex change operations and the castration of boys and men without the use of an anesthetic; and sterilization with the use of x-rays. On one occasion Mengele sterilized a group of Polish nuns with an X-ray machine, burning them horribly. In 1981, the West German Prosecutor's Office drew up 78 different indictments against Mengele, charging him with the most heinous and bestial crimes against humanity, including: Having actively and decisively taken part in selections in the prisoners' sick blocks, of such prisoners who through hunger, deprivations, exhaustion, sickness, disease, abuse or other reasons were unfit for work in the camp and whose speedy recovery was not envisaged ...Those selected were killed either through injections or firing squads or by painful suffocation to death through prussic acid in the gas chambers in order to make room in the camp for the "fit" prisoners, selected by him or other SS doctors ... The injections that killed were made with phenol, petrol, Evipal, chloroform, or air into the circulation, especially into the heart chamber, either with his own hands or he ordered the SS sanitary worker to do it while he watched." An Auschitz survivor recalled one incident where "a large group of SS officers arrived on motorcycles, Mengele among them. They drove into the yard and got off their motorcycles. Upon arriving they circled the flames" of a huge pit with burning logs. "After a while trucks arrived, dump trucks, with dozens of children inside. There were about ten of these trucks ... and the trucks backed up to the fire." The SS "started throwing those children right into the fire, into the pit. The children started to scream; some of them managed to crawl out of the burning pit. An officer walked around it with sticks and pushed back those who managed to get out." Another surviving Auschwitz prisoner, Alex Dekel states: "I have never accepted the fact that Mengele himself believed he was doing serious work - not from the slipshod way he went about it. He was only exercising his power. Mengele ran a butcher shop -- major surgeries were performed without anesthesia. Once, I witnessed a stomach operation -- Mengele was removing pieces from the stomach, but without any anesthetic. Another time, it was a heart that was removed, again, without anesthesia. It was horrifying. Mengele was a doctor who became mad because of the power he was given. He professed to do what he did in the name of science, but it was a madness on his part." Mengele conducted "genetic experiments" on nearly 1500 sets of twins between 1943 and 1944. Twins were particularly useful because a set of twins share an identical gene pool and the one experimented on could thus be compared to his twin, or both could be subject to the same procedures to determine if the outcome would be identical. Mengele also picked out individuals with any other physical abnormalities including midgets, dwarfs, and hunchbacks. Thousands were murdered and their organs, eyeballs, heads, and limbs were often sent to the Rockefeller group at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, where he also had an appointment as co-worker and an assistant to Otmar Verschuer: "My co-researcher in this research is my assistant the anthropologist and physician Mengele. He is serving as Hauptstuermfuehrer and camp doctor in the concentration camp Auschwitz." Following the war, Mengele escaped to Buenos Aires in 1949 and then lived in Paraguay and Brazil until his death by stroke in 1979.

A 1907 Indiana law permitting the sterilization ofthe mentally handicapped predated and served as a model for Germany's 1933 Law on Preventing Hereditarily III Progeny. The 1924 American Immigration Restriction Act was later praised by Adolf Hitler in his book, Mein Kampf. With the help of the Harrimans and Rockefellers, German theorists came to the U.S. seeking international legitimacy: it unfortunately proved an influential model, not only intellectually but politically. The Rockefeller Foundation and Jewish philanthropist James Loeb helped fund major eugenics institutes in Germany, including the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity.

Through the WRS, so many promising biological agents were discovered, and the research program grew so rapidly, that the Army Chemical Corps decided to relocate much of this work to Camp Detrick, Frederick, Maryland, which then became a primary site for research and development. By 1946, according to the War Department, "there occurred sixty cases of proven infection caused by accidental exposure to virulent biological warfare agents which required treatment ...and ... 159 accidental exposures to agents of unknown concentrations." Merck continued research with the CIA well into the 19505, see National Security Archives, Gelman Library, The George Washington University: "Inventory: CIA Behavior Experiments Collection (John Marks Donation), Box # 8 "Magic: Mulholland: George Merck: University of Minnesota: Miscellaneous: MKDELTA: ARTICHOKE Docs/ Clips: MKDELTA."

The Rockefeller Foundation and Jewish philanthropist James Loeb helped fund major eugenics institutes in Germany, including the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity. With the help of the Harrimans and Rockefellers, German theorists came to the U.S. seeking international legitimacy: it unfortunately proved an influential model, not only intellectually but politically.

75). From 1927 to 1941, Dulles worked as lawyer and international finance specialist for Sullivan & Cromwell, a Wall Street law firm in New York. Dulles performed work for Bush, Harriman, and Rockefeller in setting up business relationships with the Nazis and with top Nazi industrialists and played a pivotal role in promoting U.S.-Nazi corporate relations including those between the Rockefellers and IG. Farben. Allen Dulles was also legal counsel for Standard Oil and the Nazi's I. G. Farben, co-owned by the Rockefellers. Dulles was recruited by OSS intelligence chief Colonel William J. Donovan, in 1941, and was posted to Berne, Switzerland. Dulles was picked because of his great expertise on Germany which he acquired through his law firm during the 1930s. From October 1942 to May 1945, he gathered intelligence information on Nazi Germany related to all aspects of the war effort, including as it pertains to commerce, industry, espionage, and biological weapons.

As of the year 2002, 42 million people have AIDs and that 29.4 million of them live in Africa. It should be stressed that these estimates are based only on those individuals who actually seek and receive treatment at official treatment facilities which keep these records.
78). In 1978, the Centers for Disease Control began running ads requesting the participation of promiscuous homosexual men to take part in an "Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials." The first experiments conducted by the CDC, began in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 1981 the first cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Manning, "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile," Lyle Stuart, 1981; According to Manning, on August 10, 1944, the Rockefeller-Farben partners transferred their "flight capital" to "safe havens" and affiliated German/ French, American, British and Swiss banks "for the new Germany." This secured "the sophisticated distribution of national and corporate assets to safe havens" throughout the world, funds which could be used to support further development of the "Neuordnung" (new order) for banking, defense, and the global petrochemical pharmaceutical industry. Merck was also a primary recipient of the Nazi "flight capital." Millions of dollars were deposited in Merck's accounts on August 10, 1944 at the time the company's President, George W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director.

The espionage unit operated under Farben director Max Ilgner, nephew of IG. Farben president Hermann Schmitz. Max Ilgner and Hermann Schmitz were on the board of American IG., with fellow directors Henry Ford of Ford Motor Company, Paul Warburg of Bank of Manhattan, and Charles E. Mitchell of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. According to the War Department, Chemnyco, Inc., served as the U.S. arm of the Farben (VOWI) intelligence network and relied on German and American businessmen to steal industrial secrets, including even blueprints and detailed descriptions of whole industrial plants, which would then be sent to IG Farben headquarters. Germany's most effective intelligence agents were solid, respectable businessmen. The U.S. War Department also accused IG. Farben and its American associates such as Harriman and Bush of engaging in Nazi psychological and economic warfare through the dissemination of propaganda.

87). In 1939 six major concentration camps were constructed, complete with factories and surrounded by slave labor camps: Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchemwald, Mauthausen, FIossenburg, and Ravensbruck. These were followed by several major concentration camps which served as major industrial centers. These included, Auschwitz, Belsen and Dora where the V-1 and V-2 rockets were assembled in underground tunnels. Upon arriving at a slave labor camp, as they emerged from the crowded and cramped cattle cars, men, women, and children were sorted into three groups: 1) Men who were healthy enough to work as slaves -- most of whom could be counted on to survive for about six months before they became sick-. 2) Young attractive women who became whores in the whore houses which serviced SS guards and others. 3) Children, mothers, and men and women who were old or sickly, and who were usually immediately gassed to death and cremated. At the peak of operation, in September 1944, nearly 10 million civilians and prisoners of war worked as slave laborers. Prisoners of war included mostly Russian and Ukrainians, whereas over 7.5 million civilians from Poland, Russia, Ukraine, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, Algeria, and other countries served as slaves.

105). The anthrax spores that contaminated the office of Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle's office were extremely small in size, between 1 to 3 microns in diameter. Grinding down an anthrax spore to this size is a first requirement for making "weapons grade" anthrax. In addition, the spores had been treated with a chemical additive to remove any electrostatic charges which might cause the particles to lump together. This technique is so sophisticated that only two or three nations are thought to have been capable of making it, i.e. the United States and Russia. The additives essentially "weaponized" the anthrax spores making it possible for them to be suspended in the air and thus more easily inhaled. The electrostatic problem was apparently solved by researchers at Fort Dietrick back in the 1960s. Bill Patrick, who developed the process at Fort Detrick holds at least five secret patents on these procedures. Army Maj. Gen. John Parker, commander of Fort Dietrick, disputes the possibility that these anthrax spores were weaponized or created at Fort Dietrick. He claims the spores are "rugged and clumpy." When samples from Fort Dietrick were sent to yet another facility, Battelle, a military contractor that does secret work for the Pentagon and CIA, what Battelle researchers didn't know, at first, was that scientists at Fort Detrick had irradiated the anthrax spores. In consequence, when Battelle processed its sample it got a lower value for virulence and dispersal qualities, and thus incorrectly concluded that the anthrax was not weapon's grade.
