Explained: Why The Anthrax Strain Was Found in Ivins’ Office

George Washington’s Blog

The government’s central piece of evidence against Bruce Ivins is that it has found anthrax in Ivins’ lab that matches the anthrax letters exactly.

Pretty persuasive, right?

No, actually . . .

According to a story today in Time Magazine:

“It is hard to understand why the match could not simply be explained by the lab’s prominent involvement in the federal investigation, notes Randall Larsen, a retired Air Force colonel and a senior associate at the Center for Biosecurity, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The FBI itself sent the anthrax letters to Ivins and his colleagues at the biodefense lab for analysis “almost immediately” following the attacks in 2001, confirms Caree Vander-Linden, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, where Ivins worked.”

Another government allegation turns out to be without substance.

Even if the presence of anthrax in Ivins’ office was not so easily explainable, there were still perhaps a dozen people who had access to whatever anthrax Ivins was handling. As the Time article points out:

“A group of people have access to the anthrax at any given lab. ‘What you can do with all those forensic techniques is trace the anthrax to a lab, but you can’t trace it to a person,’ says Meryl Nass, a Maine doctor who studies the anthrax vaccine and was a professional acquaintance of Ivins for over 15 years. What’s more, Nass adds, the link is not accurate with 100% certainty. ‘You can’t convict someone with that evidence.’ “

‘You can’t convict someone with that evidence.’

And that’s why he was suicide’d. Take a look at the people that actually got the letters, and it’s pretty plain to see who sent them.

But who cares right? He’s dead case closed, no investigation needed.

Senior Nasa Official Clark McClelland who last week backed up the statements of astronaut Ed Mitchell regarding an military/alien alliance, has now updated his site this week with an artists rendering of what he saw during a classified shuttle mission. This is an explosive leak of classified information, and Clark definitely has the credentials to back his statements up!

Be sure to check out the “incidents” link, as Clark has a lot of juicy revelations regarding many space missions!

The ONLY people who had true access to Ivins’ Office is none other than the Federal Government itself. We should be indicting a Neocon Piece of Shit named Jerome Hauer to testify ….. he is the ass who told the White House to start taking Cipro before the Anthrax mialings. Who is Jerome? Is he not the NWO Freakzoid whose job title is Controlled Demolition Specialist, who also got the job as the Emergency Manager for the WTC Complex (Building 7)? So, in all fairness it is SO easy to see that the FBI has Anti-American Neocon Pieces of Shit at the top of the food chain within their Agency. And who called off the Agents from pursuing some of the fall-guy suppossed hijackers of 9/11?

With all the damning information that has been revealed since 9/11 due to the Governments OWN bumbling, and a book deal called the 9/11 Omission Commission which was even for sale in the weekly book flyers sent out by the nations schools. (Gotta make the children believe in outr fairy tale!), FOIA requests, etc…. etc…. and STILL the FBI does not know what is going on.

Gimme a break…..

Looks to me that Good FBI Agents need to get together, and do some spring cleaning in their OWN house.

He’s cremated by now, and since he “committed suicide” the State is free to destroy any evidence in the case, apparently…I all but guarantee a major false flag before this pack of creeps leave office..

Let’s not forget the F.A.C.T.S.

Ivins has never been charged….WHY? The last time I checked a person has to be charged in a court of law…not over some briefing after they are found dead.

Moreover, there is a trail in a court of law before 12 of their peers to ascertain the F.A.C.T.S. insomuch as to their guilt.

For emphasis, this has never be done and to try such a serious case in the media does Mr. Ivins, his family, his community and county a diservice.

The WHY can be answered in that the F.B.I. would have to prove their case in the court of law, which, they couldn’t do…if they could they would have charged Mr. Ivins a long time ago (PERIOD)

CNN tries to convince people on CNN international that the anthrax attacks took place in 1991, for some strange reason. I tried to mail them at openforum@ cnn dot com, but that mailbox has been full for quite some time now…
anyone any suggestions on whom I should mail there?

THE most important point imho was made by either Alex or someone on his show, I forgot.
Accusing Iving now of being “unstable” and “schizofrenic”, while these government employees, including their families, are checked and doublechecked before even being able to get a job there, is the smoking gun.

“Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”

I know that, but my previous statement “THE most important point imho was made by either Alex or someone on his show, I forgot.
Accusing Iving now of being “unstable” and “schizofrenic”, while these government employees, including their families, are checked and doublechecked before even being able to get a job there, is the smoking gun.” doesn’t seem to pass the censorship(???????).

You start to act like the people you’re suppost to be fighting.

@White Rider
What do you think will happen when the EU crowns herself emperor of Europe?
The lowest living standards, like in Romania and Bulgaria and the highest “security”, like in the UK right now.
He’s not just a British problem.
May he return as a non-poisones one-day-fly, for eternity.

-edit by myself: geeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz, Watson, what are you trying to do here? Discredit me, by cherrypicking what I can and can not post and even when, or what? It is not “reasonable” that something you post here isn’t shown on the website after over 20 minutes. It might make people think that they are censored.
Just my 2 cents
Furthermore, Watson,
I’ve told you time and time again that I can not even READ the forum, because someone decided to do some special effort preventing me to do so. Your first denying and then ignoring doesn’t make it untrue.

Kind regards, just stop acting like dictators youselves first
