Also happening in the 9/11 timeframe were letters with anthrax showing up, some people died. A perp was never identified although the FBI’s leading suspect is conveniently dead.

Almost as suddenly as they started the attacks stopped. And now they aren’t discussed much. The mystery might never be solved.

We don’t know for sure

quote:

After the FBI announced that Ivins acted alone, many people with a broad range of political views, some of whom were colleagues of Ivins, expressed doubts.[137] Reasons cited for these doubts include that Ivins was only one of 100 people who could have worked with the vial used in the attacks and that the FBI couldn't place him near the New Jersey mailbox from which the anthrax was mailed.[137][138] The FBI's own genetic consultant, Claire Fraser-Ligget stated that the failure to find any anthrax spores in Ivins's house, vehicle or on any of his belongings seriously undermined the case.[123] Noting unanswered questions about the FBI's scientific tests and lack of peer review, Jeffrey Adamovicz, one of Ivins's supervisors in USAMRIID's bacteriology division, stated, "I'd say the vast majority of people [at Fort Detrick] think he had nothing to do with it."[139] More than 200 colleagues attended his memorial service following his death.[140]

Correct. But this was after Robert Mueller and the FBI tried to frame an innocent guy for the crime. The g government ended up having to pay millions to the guy Mueller tried to frame.

Company was doing work on the post office facility in DC when it got hit by anthrax. Our workers had to wear all the special clothing/breathing apparatus to rip everything out and replace it. I took the opportunity and donned the gear to inspect our work. We made so much money as government wants everything done on overtime

The feds had a lot of circumstantial evidence on Ivins and he was definitely a creepy dude. I've never seen anything that convinced me 100%, though.

If you read up a little on that psychologist who implicated him, she's next-level crazy herself... just a thoroughly rotten woman.

I believe we know who was behind it and refuse to tell the public.

Got my windows tinted earlier this year at some sketch place near Humble. Dude that did the tinting said he used to work with his brother putting blast proof film on government buildings and claimed they were working in/on the Congress building when the anthrax scare was going on. According to him, it was spread around by a careless maid that vacuumed it up and the motor from the vacuum cleaner blew the substance around the offices.

Probably should’ve asked him for whatever he was smoking.

Ivins assisted the FBI in investigating the anthrax case for years and was only deemed a suspect after the government had harassed an innocent man in Steven Hatfill. It's also odd that Ivins was considered to be a source for ABC News's report that tried tying the anthrax to Iraq. I've always believed the anthrax case was used to drum up support for the Iraq War. I think Ivins was likely a co-conspirator in this incident, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was ordered to do certain things by one or more three-letter agencies and then became the fall guy after Hatfill was exonerated.

So now you are blaming 9/11 and the anthrax attacks on Israel? I had higher hopes for you.

Absolutely not. I was being sarcastic due to that dancing israelis thread.

The vaccine is pretty unpleasant. 6 series of shots. Each more painful than the previous. Thank you Uncle Sam.
