--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- Saudi Entrepreneur Adnan Khashoggi Linked to 911 TerroristsPart XXIV(B): PROJECT ANTHRAX - SAIC, STEPHEN HATFILL & BIO-ECONOMIC STATE TERRORISM By Alex Constantine The epidemic swept through Zimbabwe, the former British colony of Southern Rhodesia, in the late 1970s. It killed 180 people, infected over 10,000, devastated livestock, brought on economic disaster and widespread hunger ... but not throughout Zimbabwe indiscriminately, as you might expect. Only in black areas. This epidemic was respectful of gated white communities and politely kept out.1 Stephen Hatfill signed on with the Rhodesian Special Air Service (SAS) and the Selous Scouts, a counter-insurgency death squad that enforced apartheid rule, before arriving at the Godfrey Huggins School of Medicine. Some of the faculty were curious why the Yank would stoop to studying at a backwater academy like Huggins. His admission was arranged by Robert Burns Symington, an anatomy professor and neo-Nazi. �Symington is strongly believed to have worked with the Ian Smith-led white supremacist regime on its biological warfare project,� Africa�s Sunday Mirror reported in 2002. �The Zimbabwe authorities have since established that [Smith�s] security forces, particularly the much feared Selous Scouts, stealthily distributed the deadly anthrax spore among the hungry cattle of the Rhodesian Tribal Trust Lands, where most Africans lived, and seeded cholera into the rivers.� STURM UND DRANG (UND JURMS) "Thirteen years after Zimbabwe�s independence, a former senior white member of the Rhodesian Security forces admitted the use of anthrax in the war by the military. �It is true that anthrax was used in an experimental role and the idea came from the Army Psychological Operations,� he said.� The psychology of genocide isn�t sophisticated - guerillas were scapegoated for the outbreak.2 One of the Scout�s favored tactics was mailing anthrax spores through the mail, embedded in the glue on envelope flaps.3 Hatfill. You know the type. A student at the medical school�s radiation oncology department recalls that Hatfill sported a 9mm pistol, and boasted of past paramilitary glories in Vietnam and Zimbabwe.4 In 1984, he moved on to study at South African medical schools, joined the military. While in the area, Hatfill befriended Eugene Terre Blanche, leader of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, the South African Nazi Party.5 After a year-long tour in Anarctica, he pressed on to the States, and found employment at the National Institutes of Health. �The PhD certificate he submitted to NIH could have easily been tracked back by authorities and exposed as a forgery,� Marilyn Thompson, author of The Killer Strain: Anthrax and a Government Exposed, said in a blogged Q&A hosted by UCLA�s School of Public Health in 2003, �but it was overlooked and Hatfill's credentials helped him gain access to sensitive government agencies. USAMRIID allowed him in as a contract researcher.�6 The first casualty of the anthrax mailings was Bob Stevens, a photo editor at a tabloid that had run an article blasting the Saudi royals. From the CDC report: �On October 4, 2001, we confirmed the first bioterrorism-related anthrax case identified in the United States is a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida. Epidemiologic investigation indicated that exposure occurred at the workplace through intentionally contaminated mail...�7 It�s well within the realm of possibility that 911 hijackers Mohammed Atta and Ahmed Alhanzawi were the first to contract the disease, despite FBI disavowals. These have not held up well over time. In March 2002, the New York Times reported that Atta and his entourage �identified themselves as pilots when they came to the emergency room of Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., last June. One had an ugly, dark lesion on his leg,� and �in October, a pharmacist in Delray Beach, Fla., said he had told the F.B.I. that two of the hijackers, Mohamad Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi, came into the pharmacy looking for something to treat irritations on Mr. Atta's hands.� Dr. Christos Tsonas thought Alhanzawi�s wound curious, but cleaned it and prescribed medication. �After Sept. 11, when federal investigators found the medicine among the possessions of one of the hijackers, Ahmed Alhaznawi, Dr. Tsonas reviewed the case and arrived at a new diagnosis. The lesion, he said in an interview this week, �was consistent with cutaneous anthrax.�" Dr. Thomas Inglesby of John Hopkins, and Dr. Tara O'Toole, assistant secretary for health and safety at the Energy Department, sided with Dr. Tsonas. Thompson followed every step in the Bureau�s investigation, and she finds it entirely possible that Atta and Alhaznawi had some contact with anthrax spores: �The FBI contends that it pursued a hijacker connection in the early days and became convinced that they were not involved in these mailings - mainly because the anthrax strain used was a military research strain. Many people in Florida, however, who know about the hijackers' movements in that part of the country in the months before 9/11, do not believe the FBI pursued this with enough vigor...� The Times: �In an interview, Dr. O'Toole said that after consulting with additional medical experts on the Alhaznawi case, she was �more persuaded than ever� that the diagnosis of cutaneous anthrax was correct...� It was widely reported that Mohammed Atta�s cell took flight school training in Boca Raton, not far from American Media, Inc., where Stevens worked, and rented apartments from the wife of an editor of The Sun, published by AMI.8 Others continued the mailings after 911. The Times: �They would probably have needed an accomplice to mail the tainted letters.... The four recovered anthrax letters were postmarked on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9 in Trenton.�9 But the mailings weren�t confined by domestic borders. In November 2001, the CDC�s web site in Atlanta confirmed that a tainted letter had been sent from Switzerland to Chile. Dr. Antonio Banfi, a pediatrician at a children's hospital in Santiago, received the letter. He suspected that something was amiss because it had been postmarked in Zurich but had a Florida return address.10 In 2003, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports, Maureen Stevens, the widow of the first victim, filed a wrongful-death suit that �could embarrass the U.S. government and provide insight into the ongoing investigation of the fall 2001 bioterrorism attacks.� The �embarrassing� lawsuit held that spores �were known to be missing from an Army laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., as early as 1992,� and that the litigants �accuse the government of failing to adequately secure them. �The bottom line is that a lot of our [FOIA] requests were not acknowledged or were not answered or responded to.�"11 Maureen Stevens� lawsuit was filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. It named Ft. Detrick-USAMRIID, Battelle Memorial Institute and other possible sources of the anthrax - and BioPort Corp., of Lansing, Mich., a vaccine manufacturer. The name BioPort is synonymous with mismanagement and contaminated product. The company was founded on June 22, 1995 by Yoav Stern, a former avionics system officer specializing in F-15, A-4, Mirage and Kfir fighter jets for the Israeli Air Force. He was also commander of a flight training unit, and a deputy squadron commander. The BioPort web site reports that one Zive R. Nedivi has been the CEO, president and a director of the company since June 1995. Mr. Nedivi also served in the Israeli Air Force and was the founder �of the predecessor of the company, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Rada Electronic Industries Ltd.�12 Two of BioPort�s directors: Niv Harizman: A director of the Company since December 1997. From January 1998 onward, Harizman was a principal with BT Alex. Brown Incorporated, the investment banking subsidiary of Bankers Trust New York Corporation. From June 1996 until January 1998, Mr. Harizman was a Vice President with Alex. Brown. He started with Alex. Brown in 1995. General William Lyon: Retired Air Force general, currently serves as a director of Board of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Chairman of the Research and Development Institute at the Air Force Academy. Most interestingly of all, on the BioPort board sat another Iran-contra connection: Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr.: A director of the company since March 1999. >From 1985-89, Admiral Crowe held the position of chairman of the Joint Chiefs under President Reagan. After retirement from the military in 1989, Admiral Crowe was a counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. He has also served as chairman of the notorious President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, 1993-94, and served as U.S. ambassador to the UK and Northern Ireland, 1994-97. Admiral Crowe has previously served as a director of Merrill Lynch, Texaco and General Dynamics. He currently serves as a director of Bioport, and Intervac, an investment firm. He is a part-time senior advisor to Global Options LLC. The admiral commanded U.S. forces in the Middle East, was the commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Southern Europe, and headed up the nation's largest geographical military operation, the U.S. Pacific Command.13 Lois Battuello dug into BioPort�s financial records, compared them with the inside-trade put option activity preceding 911, and found a jostling for position in financial circles that suggests premeditation of 911 and the anthrax attacks: �Niv Harizman was with Alex. Brown (BT for Bankers Trust),� she points out. �This is the firm that executed the �puts� prior to September 11 that plunged the stocks of American Airlines, United Airlines, Boeing, some brokerage houses, and several reinsurance companies (some inter-locked) including AXA Assurance, Swiss Re and Munich Re. These trades hubbed from Alex. Brown, which was acquired with Deutsche Bank�s acquisition of Bankers Trust. The gent heading Alex. Brown unit, Deutsche's trading-brokerage arm, was terminated rather suddenly. Former director of enforcement for SEC, Richard Walker, took a position as staff counsel for Deutsche.� Niv Harizman �is a dark side,� Battuello says, �on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (put into play by First Chicago group, Robert Angelo Podesta) when Peter G. Peterson (school under MI6) was Secretary of Commerce in 1972-73 under Nixon. And Robert Podesta was UnderSecretary of Commerce - both Chicago pushed through legislation to approve creation of Chicago Board of Options Exchange. (Can't have options trading as it exists in its current form without options on equities to pair, i.e., can't have a bubble economy without a bubble machine). Peterson, currently chairman of the New York Fed, moved up the ranks along notorious Chicago bank lines - 1985 sets up the Blackstone Group and [Iran-contra�s] Frank Carlucci sets up the Carlyle Group the same year. Admiral Crowe, following retirement in 1989, held board positions at Merrill Lynch, General Dynamics and Texaco, all very �Republican� companies at the time ... �14 [TO BE CONTINUED] -------------------- NOTES 1) Meryl Nass, M.D., �Zimbabwe�s Anthrax Epizoodic,� Bioterror: Manufacturing Wars the American Way, edited by Ellen Ray and William H.

This site offers a description of the covert tactics of the Selous Scouts, �a wolf pack. A handful of fighters would drop into the back country disguised as rebels. Living off the land for weeks without support, they would relentlessly track down their opponents and kill them, even if it meant crossing into neighboring countries in violation of international law. Their training taught them to live off the barren land during their long pursuit on foot, drinking fetid water and eating carrion scraps. Some articles claim that they were responsible for two out of every three enemy fatalities in the civil war. Admirers and vets boast that the Selous Scouts were the most skilled and ruthless guerrilla warfare fighters in history.� 5) See, �The Biovangelist� web site. http://jdo.org/hatfill.htm 6) UClA Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, �Reporter Interview on Steven Hatfill Article,� September 15, 2003. http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/reporterinterview.html,� 7) Centers for Disease Control, �Bioterrorism-Related Anthrax: First Case of Bioterrorism-Related Inhalational Anthrax in the United States, Palm Beach County, Florida, 2001.� http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol8no10/02-0354.htm 8) William J.
