The Anthrax Mystery: Solved
From Metapedia
The Anthrax Mystery: Solved is an article which identifies Israel as being responsible for the 2001 anthrax attacks. The article first appeared in the March-April 2004 issue of National Vanguard [1]. The author is Robert Pate, a former member of the National Alliance and researcher for National Vanguard.
[edit] Summary
The article starts with the history of the anthrax attacks in which four media outlets were targeted in New York City: ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and the New York Post. All of these received a letter with a threatening note and a coarse form of anthrax material that caused skin infections. Also, an anthrax letter is believed to have been sent to the Florida tabloid The National Enquirer where a photo editor died of inhalation anthrax.
Three weeks later, the second wave of anthrax attacks occurs targeting two United States Senators. A different threatening note is included in the letter, however the anthrax material in these letters are weponized and believed by many to have been produced in a bioweapons lab.
Popular theories on who sent the anthrax letters are examined. Leftists in the arms control movement focused their attention on one possible suspect who seemed to fit their political prejudices: Dr. Steven J. Hatfill.[2] [3] Dr. Hatfill had the reputation of being a right-winger who expressed alarm on the threat of bio-terrorism, especially from radical Muslims. He was a scientist who had worked at the Army’s bio-research labs in Fort Detrick, Maryland. Also, he had ties to the White nationalist Afrikaner Resistance Movement when he did graduate work in South Africa. Another reason for the interest and attention on Hatfill revolves around the number of incredible coincidences connecting him with anthrax hoaxes before the 2001 anthrax attacks.[4] The article concludes Dr. Hatfill was setup and used as patsy by a foreign intelligence agency: Israel’s Mossad.
The article claims Israel had the means, the motive and the opportunity to have launched the anthrax attacks. Israel’s capabilities in bio-weapons research is detailed with an emphasis on their weapons lab in Ness Ziona. The role of their spy ring--using the cover of Israeli Art Students--gave the Mossad early warning on the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11. The article concludes Israel’s objective in launching the anthrax attacks was to terrorize the public first with the letters sent to the media. Next the United States Senate was targeted making it likely Congress would readily authorize military action against a perceived threat from a hostile nation with weapons of mass destruction.
