Sunday Globe Special: Anthrax Attack Aftereffects

Endless agenda-pushing lies is what it was:

"Struggles remain for victim of anthrax attack; 11 years after opening anthrax letter, a Quincy woman still has questions" by Bella English  |  Globe Staff, September 16, 2012

The wreckage of the World Trade Center was still smoldering when the letters began arriving at media outlets and the offices of two US senators. By the end of the anthrax attacks, five people were dead. Seventeen others were infected but survived. The first bioterror attack in American history came and went quickly, fading into the shadow of 9/11’s mass destruction of airplanes, buildings, and lives.

But Casey Chamberlain will never forget. The Quincy resident rarely discusses what happened when, as a young NBC employee, she opened one of the anthrax-laced letters. But she recently spoke to the Globe about her ordeal, saying she wants people to remember that there were two sets of terrorist victims: those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, and those infected soon after with anthrax.

Moreover, she wants to make sure it never happens again.

The days following Sept. 11, 2001, were hectic for 23-year-old Chamberlain, who was working as a desk assistant for the “NBC Nightly News” at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. The country was in shock, and in New York, frantic callers were flooding the network, seeking information about the attacks....

Looking back now the last place you would want to go for information would be the "mainstream" AmeriKan media. 

Chamberlain, a former Barnstable High School class president who had graduated from UMass Amherst in 2000, was also responsible for opening mail for anchor Tom Brokaw....

The word “anthrax” was not much a part of the American vocabulary. Few doctors had ever seen a case....

But on Oct. 5, 2001, a photo editor at a Florida tabloid died from inhaling anthrax spores that had also come through the mail, heralding the after-shock of 9/11: bioterrorism....

This as the environment is poisoned by radiation, pharmaceutical drugs, and all other types of noxious pollution.

I suppose bloggers helped prevent that; however, the capability is still in the governments hands.

There is your aftereffect, and maybe that wa$ the point the whole time.

The FBI concluded that the spores came from the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort ­Detrick, Md. The agency has called the case one of its longest and most complex, and closed it after chief suspect Bruce Ivins, an Army biodefense expert, committed suicide in 2008. But many, including members of a National Academy of Science panel, have questioned the FBI findings, which they say relied on circumstantial evidence.

After a while you become numb to them. You recognize them for what they are whenever the mouthpiece media is called upon to advance some form of propaganda to further the agenda.

The agency had previously focused on another scientist, Steven Hatfill, who was eventually cleared. Hatfill sued the Justice Department and the FBI and in 2008 won a $5.8 million settlement....

I sure hope the lies are worth it, Americans. 

Nagging questions remain. The FBI built its case on Ivins’ access to and deep knowledge of the anthrax spores, his late working hours during that period, and his alleged mental instability.

Chamberlain isn’t entirely satisfied with the criminal case’s conclusion since Ivins died before he could be arrested and tried. “But in my mind, he would have been convicted in a courtroom,” she says.

Her mother believes the attacks were the work of more than a lone scientist. “I suspect he was involved, but I don’t think it’s possible for one person to do all that. I think there’s definitely someone out there who knows more than has ever been revealed.” 

I must admit, I never buy the lone anything anymore -- particularly when it is tirelessly promoted by the propaganda organ we know as the mouthpiece AmeriKan media. There are simply questions they will not ask. In fact, they denigrate and disparage those who do ask them.
