The then
recent director of Mayor Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management, Jerome
“Jerry” Hauer -- a bio-warfare expert and one of the signers of the
pre-9/11 Project for a New American Century manifesto calling for “a new Pearl
Harbor” (such as 9/11) who had been a central player in scripting the TRIPOD II
bio-chem attack scenario exercise -- was an expert in the response to building
collapses (5) and managing director of Kroll Associates before and on 9/11, the
company that managed the WTC7 OEM ‘bunker’ and provided ‘security’ for the World
Trade Center, including all three buildings brought down by controlled
demolition that morning. He thus oversaw personnel with the complete access
needed to pre-place explosive charges. It was Hauer who had advocated, despite
the 1993 terrorist attack on WTC1, that Giuliani locate his OEM, from which a
response to an expected follow up attack on the WTC would need to be
orchestrated, next door in WTC7 (6). The new OEM opened on the 23rd floor of
WTC7 in June 1999, where Hauer, its director, had his office. Hauer became a
National Security Adviser to the National Institutes of Health on Sept. 10, the
very day TRIPOD II personnel arrived in New York City, from which new NIH post
he managed the Bush Administration’s ‘response’ to the imminent anthrax attacks,
which falsely pointed the finger at Iraq and diverted attention from the true
insider anthrax killers. Indeed, it was Hauer who zealously pushed the ‘bin
Laden did it and just planes-and-fires brought down the Towers’ official story
on CBS News on 9/11 in the immediate aftermath of the attacks before anyone not
on the inside could have possibly determined the actual cause of the collapses,
taking pains to insist that explosives were not involved, when they were. And
according to mainstream press reports and a lawsuit by the conservative
government watchdog group Judicial Watch, it was Hauer who personally advised
the White House to take anti-anthrax Cipro antibiotics on 9/11 (7). [Other
reports state White House personnel were put on Cipro nearly a month before the
attacks (8). Did Hauer recommend that White House personnel be put on an
anti-anthrax antibiotics on 9/11 because he had reason to believe the 9/11
attacks would also involve anthrax and/or because he had advance knowledge there
would be subsequent imminent anthrax attacks?
4) The FBI had been told the 9/11 attacks would involve anthrax. On Sept. 11,
Janette MacKinlay lived in a fourth floor apartment overlooking what was soon to
become ‘the pit’ of the World Trade Center. Her neighbor and close friend Bruno
told her later that day or early the next morning that he had been pulled off
the street into a bank lobby next to the WTC towers by an FBI agent on the
morning of Sept. 11 to protect them from the dust cloud from the collapsing
tower, and was told by the agent that “We were told this was going to happen and
that it would involve anthrax.” Another FBI agent told a woman about to enter
the NBC Bldg. that she should leave immediately because “there are explosives in
the building as well as in the WTC.” Clearly, the FBI had been pre-alerted
because their own offices were in the WTC -- in WTC7 -- which, like WTC1 and
WTC2, was pre-wired for a controlled demolition take down that day. MacKinlay
had the presence of mind to collect the dust from the cloud that poured into her
apartment overlooking the ‘pit’, and it is this dust that physicist Prof. Steven
Jones has analyzed and in which he found military-grade thermate as well as
other high explosives, proving the presence of pre-placed charges throughout the
towers to which ‘Al Qaeda’ could not have had access to set.
Though no anthrax has been reported in the dust -- though it may not have yet
been tested for -- if TRIPOD II were at least in part on an anthrax attack
scenario, it wouldn’t have used actual anthrax, but an anthrax simulant -- an
anthrax-like powder that would disperse through the air in a way similar to the
real thing. Experts should be consulted for the chemical composition of anthrax
simulants and the dust from the WTC collapses tested for these simulants.
5) In the minds of the insider scriptwriters for the Sept. 2001 New York City
TRIPOD II emergency response exercise, an attack on the World Trade Center was
already associated with bio/chem terrorism. According to respected New York
Times science writer William Broad, the plan for the 1993 attack on WTC1, for
which alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheihk Mohammed’s nephew Ramzi Yousef is in
prison for life, involved a plot to push cyanide into New York City. This is
reported in Germs, Broad’s book co-authored with Judith Miller. Though the
latter’s credibility has been compromised, Broad remains a respected
journalist.
6) Rudolph Giuliani bought the Florida-building crime scene of the first anthrax
attack. Anthrax was found throughout the American Media, Inc. (AMI) building in
Boca Raton, Florida where the first anthrax letter victim, Robert Stevens,
worked -- as confirmed by AMI employees whose desks were near Stevens’ whom I
have interviewed. A ‘don’t cross’ line was put around the building by the FBI,
which had been “told 9/11 was coming and that it would involve anthrax.” AMI
was forced to move to another location and put the building up for sale.
According to The New York Times, this first anthrax attack crime scene with
evidence still in place was then bought (at an anthrax sale price) by former NYC
Mayor Giuliani, overseer of the Sept. 11/12 TRIPOD II bio/chem-terrorism
probable-anthrax-scenario exercise, who formed a partnership with a
decontamination expert qualified to decontaminate the building. Giuliani thus
controlled and oversaw the destruction of evidence at both the New York crime
scene of the 9/11 attacks, the WTC, ordering the steel containing traces of
controlled demolition explosives to be removed, and the crime scene of the first
anthrax attack, America Media, Inc, in Florida.
The FBI had already joined the conspiracy to obstruct its own investigation
of the anthrax attacks by “agreeing to the request” of Iowa State University
College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames, Iowa to destroy its ‘library’ of over
100 vials of the Ames strain gathered since 1928 necessary for a definitive
match against the anthrax in the mailed letters, which library was destroyed on
Oct. 12, 2001, one week after Bob Stevens became the first victim. (9)
This Florida anthrax is critical because, according to press reports on Ivins’
alleged involvement, the anthrax in the mailed letters -- but not the ‘first’
anthrax sent to Stevens (the FBI claims no letter was found in connection with
the anthrax recovered from Stevens’ computer keyboard but assumes a ‘missing’
letter) was traced back to a flask in Ivins’ laboratory. The Stevens anthrax is
thus key to proving that Ivins, if he was involved at all, did not act alone, as
it does not trace back to his flask, and because it’s the closest in time to
9/11 and so most likely to be directly linked to Sept. 11.
Based on the above, a reasonable case can be made that Giuliani’s Sept. 11/12
TRIPOD II bio/chem. terrorism response exercise was at least in part on an
anthrax scenario, using an anthrax simulant; that the letters mailed slightly
later with real anthrax may have been written or the text drafted for that
exercise; and that Giuliani’s former Office of Emergency Management director and
close friend Jerome Hauer advised White House staff to take anti-anthrax Cipro
on 9/11 because he was afraid the anthrax attack exercise scenario might be
about to ‘go live’ just as both the NORAD hijacked-plane ‘exercise’ and the NRO
plane-crashing-into-tower ‘exercise’ had already just ‘gone live’ earlier the
morning of Sept. 11 as parts of their 'game' scenarios suddenly turned horribly
real.
If the Florida anthrax doesn’t link back to Ivins’ Ft. Detrick flask and
Ivins, who worked on vaccines (bio-defense) and not its weaponization
(bio-offense) wasn’t behind the attacks -- and neither, the government now
claims, was Steven Hatfill whom the Bush Administration just agreed to pay
millions of dollars to settle his case -- then who was? As detailed in the
September issue by Casey and Kissin, the key suspects are CIA/DIA contractor
Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI); and, individually, William Patrick and Ken
Alibek.
Battelle, a bio-defense contractor located in West Jefferson, Ohio, has
exclusive control of the Ames strain contained in the mailed anthrax letters
(10) and, in partnership with the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, ran
Project Jefferson, the government’s covert bio-weapons program whose goal was to
develop hyper-weaponized anthrax like that contained in the mailed letters (11)
and which Rumsfeld ordered developed to the next level of lethality on his first
day as Secretary of Defense.
William Patrick, a former top bio-scientist at Ft. Detrick and close
colleague of former Giuliani OEM Director Jerry Hauer, was the mentor of initial
FBI ‘person of interest’ in the anthrax attacks Steven Hatfill. Patrick holds
five classified patents and trade secrets, including on how to hyper-weaponize
anthrax to the 1 trillion spores per gram contained in the letters mailed to
Democratic Congressional leaders Senators Daschle and Leahy (12). After leaving
Ft. Detrick, he was contracted by Battelle to research and write a report on how
mailed letters could be used as the vector for dispersing weaponized anthrax.
(13) On Sept. 9, two days before 9/11, Battelle contractor DIA announced the
‘success’ of Project Jefferson’s anthrax hyper-weaponization program. Following
the Sept./Oct. 2001 letter mailings, some of which were reported to contain
anthrax at 1 trillion spores per gram, a footnote in Patrick’s report stating
that “We have now arrived at the point where we can purify [anthrax] to the
extent of 1 trillion spores in a gram” was removed from publicly available
copies. (13)
William Patrick worked with his close colleague and friend, former Soviet
bio-weapons expert Ken Alibek, at Battelle, which also ran Project Clear Vision,
a secret CIA program to reverse engineer dry-powder anthrax bombs produced by
the former Soviet Union. Patrick and Alibek were the FBI’s first suspects in the
anthrax attacks, but the initial FBI investigative team was taken off that
focus and replaced by a new team that diverted attention to Hatfill. Director
Mueller himself assured a Senator that the FBI “was not investigating, nor
intending to investigate, anyone with, or formerly with, BMI [Battelle]." (14)
Battelle is also a contractual partner with BioPort and Scientific Applications
International Corporation (SAIC), and directs the anthrax production and
experimentation program at the Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, the second
‘home’ in addition to Ft. Detrick of the Ames strain contained in the letters.
Hauer and Hatfill worked together at SAIC. (15)
The inside job anthrax attacks were then used as a pretext for the illegal
secret domestic wiretap program and assault on the Constitution.
Given the timing, it is now almost certain that the U.S. government insider
anthrax attacks were used as the pretext for President Bush’s illegal
warrantless domestic wiretap program for which he signed the first
‘authorization’ on Oct. 23, 2001 – right in the middle of the anthrax terror
(16). Senator John McCain had just gone on ABC TV, on Oct. 18, to push the
disinformation that a nonexistent bentonite additive, purportedly marking the
anthrax as coming from Iraq, meant that Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks.
To this day, the White House still refuses to provide Congress with this Oct.
23, 2001 presidential authorization for its warrantless inside-the-U.S.
surveillance program, and for obvious reason. This is the alleged authorization
that we now know, from a footnote referring to it in another now-released
document, contains Bush’s shocking claim that the Constitution’s
Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures do not
apply to U.S. military operations conducted inside the United States.
The fact that the Administration continued its secret and illegal domestic
spying program long after its was publicly known that the anthrax attacks were
the work of one of its own inside military facilities is strong evidence the
perpetrators were the same high level officials who used the attacks to justify
their illegal surveillance program – the White House itself. Exposing the inside
job anthrax mailings as the false pretext for the illegal warrantless domestic
wiretap program is thus critical to bringing President Bush and his
administration to account for its Reichtag Fire-like attack on Congressional
Democratic leaders Daschle and Leahy then pushing for an investigation of the
9/11 attacks and resisting the president’s railroading of the Patriot Act -- the
analog to Hitler’s Enabling Act passed in the wake of the Reichtag Fire --
through Congress, as well as for the mass murders of Sept. 11.
We have seen the Terrorists, and They are U.S. It’s time for under oath
pre-impeachment hearings -- and pre-court martial hearings -- to interrogate
these suspects, and all others who worked with them, to expose who wears The
Scarlet A.

11 The FBI recently held a ‘science’ briefing for reporters on the Ivins
evidence in which it made a 180-degree reversal from the results of lab analyses
of the anthrax reported by Ft. Detrick and other scientists and officials in the
first year following the attacks. Those early analyses showed the spores in the
letters to Senators Leahy and Daschle to be super-weaponized: they were found to
be highly uniform, extremely small in size, extremely concentrated at 1 trillion
per gram, electrically charged, and with a silica coating. At its ‘science’
briefing, the FBI absurdly claimed that mail processing machines caused the
additional powderizing and electrical charge found in the samples -- both
coincidentally common results of weaponization.
