Sweeg Knows...McSweegan (goes to Israel) and Anthrax (and the Hartford Courant's stories)

I forgot to mention:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ANTHRAX_SWEEG_KNOWS.htm

"Police. Hazmat. News crews. Street-side decontamination. People
wandering through your house. Questions from the FBI, and nagging
phone calls to your insurance agent. It's a lot of trouble and a huge
legal and financial risk because of Sweet'N Low or talcum powder in an
envelope. The hoaxers know the havoc they can create with a thirty-
nine cent stamp and a cheap envelope. In the end, the best defense may
be to defy the hoaxers by showing no reaction to their actions."

Why would anyone advise not to do anything about an envelope with
powder ??

RAIMONDO ARTICLE BELOW
===============

I would like to point out that Edward McSweegan and Durland Fish
("Chuck P
Adams") had been totally silent since the Blumenthal settlement...
until the
Ivins suicide announcement. They they both reared their horned heads
again:

Chuck P Fish:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/topics?hl=en

Eddie the psychopath:
http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2008/08_03-42/LIF
I remind that we later learned from Crazy Eddie himself that he was
deliberately
baiting Lyme victims to be used in his defense:
http://groups.google.com/group/scilyme2/browse_thread/thread/dea1c801cb6e8599?hl=en

I also remind the the ALDF.com is made up of many Jewish people and
Jewish
supporters:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALDF_BOARD.htm
and that Durland and Eddie cabal fling numerous "anti-semitism"
attacks
upon Lyme
activists, even Jewish ones:
http://www.actionlyme.org/LISA_MASTERSON_UK_BAGGED_STALKED_HARASSED.htm
Lisa was hacked by an all-Jewish lawfirm in New York, before she was
falsely arrested and sent to a psych klink, in the same manner as
myself,
and had to listen to all sorts of outrageous perjury in the case
against
her.


And that even the Hartford Courant had even done a story about Philip
Zack and his
Anti-Arabism:
http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/hcourant.html

=======

So, I make the point about how odd it is for these two clowns to come
out of hiding within days of Ivins's demise, almost as if they were
relieved that the heat was off. You really have to study the rantings
patterns of these fake trolls (did you know there was such a thing as
a
fake troll?), Durland Fish and Edward McSweegan.
http://www.actionlyme.org/THE_AMAZING_ADVENTURES_OF_CHUCK_P_MCSWEEGAN.htm
Look at what he says about Chinese and Russian weaponry. (It's rather
sophisticated info for someone who pretends to be a stay-at-home
mental
case who lives with his mother and watches soap operas.)

Deliberate Release
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Edward McSweegan

About the Book:

Washington, D.C. and the Internet are the settings for this novel of
modern
terror and ancient disease. After two Egyptian scientists release an
African
virus in Washington local doctors misdiagnose the mysterious
infection.
Later they begin to suspect smallpox and terrorism. They are only half
right. **** Their initial suspicions are fueled by anonymous
disinformation
spread through the Internet and the media. Government scientist
Christopher
Adams **** knows the Egyptians and has been trying to track them
through the
Internet. By the time he and the FBI cut through the fog of deception
and
find the terrorists, residents are dying and the city is in panic.

Any biological attack is, by definition, a successful attack: witness
the
mayhem caused by a few anthrax-contaminated letters. Unlike other
novels of
bioterror and epidemic, Deliberate Release avoids the use of
biotechnical
wizardry, chance mutations and wide-eyed fanatics in order to convey a
sense
of our vulnerability to assault and infection. Instead, most of the
ingredients for this modern-day detective story of one man's efforts
to stop
a terror plot come from the neighborhood library, the hardware store
and the
local pharmacy. Even as we try to nail the front door shut against
future
attacks, Deliberate Release provides a fictional window into potential
backdoor vulnerabilities.

Deliberate Release (previously titled, Tomorrow's Pox) won the grand
prize
in the 2002 Maryland Writers Association-1st Books.Com Book Contest.

Edward McSweegan:

Edward McSweegan is an infectious disease expert in the Washington,
D.C.
area. His writing credits include numerous non-fiction articles and
book
reviews. A fictional essay appeared in Science as part of the
magazine's
millennial series, "Visions of the Future." A short medical mystery
won
First Place in Writer's Digest genre fiction contest and was published
in
The Year's Best Writing 2001. Other writing awards include two First
Place
prizes and the Grand Prize in the 2002 Maryland Writers
Association-1st
Books.Com Book Contest.

==================================================

So, I that know no one in America whose job it is to investigate these
two
criminally insane idiots will do so, but I get visitors from all
over.
http://www.actionlyme.org/index.htm
It would be hard to believe that nations like Russia would not be
pissed about
what Sweeg and Durland and their ALDF.com cabal have done to them.


Check this one out:
http://www.actionlyme.org/TREPONEMA_PERMANENT.htm
Compare what *those* Russian scientists say to what the ones at
New York Medical College say about the same phenomenon:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BOGUS_RUSSIAN_NYMC_ARTICLES.htm


I say that, given the Mort Zuckerman, Hank Greenberg, Gleacher
LLC's connection to the CDC's and ALDF.com's Alan Barbour and his
business partner in Sweden (Sven Bergstrom), and given Chuckie's
warmongering:
Note that in October 2000, "Chuck's" alias was Frank Drury:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/browse_frm/thread/e4359868117b8d81/e066f6566802741e?q=lehrer+bush+gore+bombs+bursting+in+air&rnum=1#e066f6566802741e

"Frank90222" had an identical story to "Chuck's." That
he had Lyme
disease but got "ripped off" by a Lyme-literate physician.


That's exactly how they were all reported to the medical boards.
Over-diagnosing, over-treating.


I make the point that it is so *ODD* for those two to have reared
their horned heads again after months of lying low. The first thing
I thought when I saw those two dare to poke their heads out again
was, If Ivins is dead, then CERTAIN PEOPLE might think the
investigation
will end...

http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/hcourant.html

McSweegan has attacked me for attacking criminal Israeli behavior
and has said he says has friends in Israel ('really had to believe
that guy could have any real friends) and that basically Israeli
and US Bioweapons is the same enterprise.

That's why he goes there, to Israel, he said in his blog.

The Anthrax Follies and the Bizarro Effect
The case against Bruce Ivins is pathetic
by Justin Raimondo

The release of the FBI's "evidence" against Bruce Ivins, the now-
deceased
Ft. Detrick scientist targeted by the FBI as the alleged culprit in
the 2001 anthrax
letters case, demonstrates either (1) the FBI is covering for the real
culprits,
or (2) what we are witnessing is a dramatic drop in the intelligence
of the average
FBI official – maybe it's something in the water.

In making the case for the latter, I offer as exhibit number-one the
FBI's contention
[.pdf file] that the origin of the return address on some of the
anthrax-laden envelopes
– "Greendale School" – was explained by Ivins' membership in the
American
Family Association, a group of Christian fundamentalists who often
lobby and litigate
on behalf of conservative causes:

"The investigation into the fictitious return address on envelopes
used for
the second round of anthrax mailings, '4th GRADE,' 'GREENDALE SCHOOL,'
has established a possible link to the American Family Association
(AFA) headquartered
in Tupelo, Mississippi. In October 1999, MA, a Christian organization,
published
an article entitled 'AFA takes Wisconsin to court. 'The article
describes
a lawsuit filed in federal court, by the AFA Center for Law and Policy
(CLP), on
behalf of the parents of students at Greendale Baptist Academy. The
article focuses
on an incident that occurred on December 16, 1998, in which case
workers of the
Wisconsin Department of Human Services went to the Greendale Baptist
Academy in
order to interview a fourth-grade student. The case workers, acting on
an anonymous
tip that Greendale Baptist Academy administered corporal punishment as
part of its
discipline policy, did not disclose to the staff why they wanted to
interview the
student. The case workers interviewed the student in the absence of
the student's
parents and informed the school staff that the parents were not to be
contacted.
The AFA CLP filed suit against the Wisconsin Department of Human
Services, citing
a violation of the parents' Fourth Amendment rights."

You ask: so what? As do I. But those geniuses over at FBI headquarters
are waaaay
ahead of us:

"[Redacted] donations were made to the AFA in the name of 'Mr. and
Mrs.
Bruce Ivins' on eleven separate occasions beginning on December 31,
1993. After
an approximate two year break in donations, the next donation occurred
on November
11, 1999, one month after the initial article referencing Greendale
Baptist Academy
was published in the AFA Journal. It was also discovered that the
subscription to
the AFA Journal, in the name of Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Ivins … was active
until March
2005."

This doesn't even rise to the level of a logical fallacy, which has to
have
at least some internal coherence to so qualify. It's just plain weird.
At this
point, one has to wonder if the FBI itself has become a casualty of
some previously
unknown biological agent that has caused its employees to be afflicted
with the
Algernon Syndrome.

There is, however, an internal consistency in the body of "evidence"
released
so far, and it consists of stretching even the most marginal bits of
information
to the breaking point in an often hilarious effort to prove Ivins'
guilt. The
AFA angle may seem bizarre, but it is no less so than the Kappa Kappa
Gamma sorority
gambit, which the FBI engages in to divert attention from the fact
that they at
no point place Ivins anywhere near the Princeton, N.J., location the
deadly missives
were mailed from. Instead, they point to Ivins' alleged "obsession"
with Kappa Kappa Gamma and the fact that the group maintains a
storehouse near that
location.

What are they smoking over at FBI headquarters?

The FBI points to Ivins' alleged evasiveness when it came time for him
to hand
over samples of the anthrax strain he was working on: on two occasions
he gave them
the wrong samples. Yet even this – their strongest real evidence by
far – is by
no means clear. Ivins' lawyer, Paul F. Kemp, points out that the
investigators
either asked for the wrong sample, or else didn't make themselves
clear as to
what they were requesting. National Public Radio reports Kemp saying
that "when
investigators asked Ivins for an anthrax sample, he thought they were
asking for
a pure culture sample. It wasn't until six weeks later that they
called and
said they had wanted something else." Ivins, says Kemp, "never denied
to the FBI that the anthrax could have come from his batch."

Ivins, the FBI avers, was the "custodian" of the particular anthrax
strain
contained in the letters, and this conclusively proves his guilt.
However, since
this strain was developed in 1997, more than 100 people have at some
point shared
this "custodianship" with the accused. It is therefore not true that,
as FBI officials put it, Ivins was the "one individual who controlled
it."

The FBI also claims the envelopes containing the anthrax must have
come from the
Frederick, Md., mail facility where Ivins maintained a post office
box. Yet, as
noted in the FBI's own affidavit, those envelopes could have come from
any one
of hundreds of post offices: as the affidavit put it, the printing
defects that
made these particular envelopes identifiable were distributed "to post
offices
throughout Maryland and Virginia."

No traces of anthrax were found in Ivins' car or home. Other than
tracing the
anthrax strain to a flask in Ivins' lab, our intrepid G-men have no
physical
evidence pointing to his guilt. All they have is the AFA/Greendale
"connection"
and an e-mail written by Ivins right after 9/11 in which he stated:

"'Bin Laden terrorists for sure have anthrax and sarin gas' and have
'just decreed death to all Jews and all Americans,' language similar
to
the anthrax letters warning 'WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX … DEATH TO AMERICA …
DEATH
TO ISRAEL.'"

This doesn't rise to the level of circumstantial evidence – it's just
simplistic
nonsense. How else would one describe Osama bin Laden's views, which
he and
his followers have expressed on many occasions? Certainly these were a
prime subject
of public discussion at the time Ivins' e-mail was written.

Stylistically, what the FBI's "case" against Ivins resembles is
nothing
so much as the case for invading Iraq. Here we see the same cherry-
picking of "intelligence"
and isolated factoids, mixed together in one very unappetizing
goulash, which we
are supposed to swallow without so much as a grimace.

In this era when circumstantial and highly selective evidence is
enough to set America
on a course to war, it's also enough to convict a man of the most
heinous crimes
and blacken his name forever. That's the kind of world we're living in
–
truly a nightmare universe, in which the FBI, instead of doing its
job, is doing
its best to make sure that we never get to the heart of this sinister
mystery.

What's really scary about all this is that these are the people who
are supposed
to be protecting us from terrorists hell-bent on our destruction. In
which case
God help us all. One searches, in vain, through the released documents
for a reason
to believe that, even if Ivins was somehow connected to the anthrax
attacks, he
acted alone.

Which brings us to the scariest aspect of this entire affair: the real
culprits
are still out there.

I use the plural because it's clear, at least to me, that no one could
have
carried out this scheme to poison the U.S. mails alone. Ivins, if he
was involved,
had to have help. Yet our protectors, the FBI, seem indifferent to
this strong possibility.
Their chief interest appears to be in protecting their own backsides,
and what's
left of their reputation.

This confirms, once again, my contention that the 9/11 terrorist
attacks were of
such unusual physical and psychic force that they tore a hole in the
space-time
continuum and allowed us to slip into an alternate universe known as
Bizarro World,
where everything is topsy-turvy: up is down, wrong is right, and the
FBI isn't
concerned with solving crimes, but only in sweeping them under the
rug.

NOTES IN THE MARGIN

As I noted above, the Algernon Syndrome – which inflicts a rapid
dumbing-down on
its victims – is pandemic, and it appears not to be limited to our law
enforcement
agencies. It also seems to have taken its toll on the pundits. Exhibit
A: Andrew
Sullivan, commenting on Glenn Greenwald's series of superb pieces on
the anthrax
case:

"Glenn reminds me that it was the anthrax attacks that took the
post-9/11 sense
of threat to a whole new level – and moved the Iraq invasion forward
as a possible
response. That we now think the threat was actually a domestic source
with no connection
with Islamism is a critical piece of historical adjustment."

Speaking of "historical adjustment," this seems like as good a time as
any to remind Sullivan that he did more than his part in moving
forward the idea
that we ought to invade Iraq as a response to the anthrax attacks, and
I quote:

"The sophisticated form of anthrax delivered to Tom Daschle's office
forces
us to ask a simple question. What are these people trying to do? I
think they're
testing the waters. They want to know how we will respond to what is
still a minor
biological threat, as a softener to a major biological threat in the
coming weeks.
They must be encouraged by the panic-mongering of the tabloids,
Hollywood and hoaxsters.
They must also be encouraged by the fact that some elements in the
administration
already seem to be saying we need to keep our coalition together
rather than destroy
the many-headed enemy. So the terrorists are pondering their next
move. The chilling
aspect of the news in the New York Times today is that the terrorists
clearly have
access to the kind of anthrax that could be used against large numbers
of civilians.
My hopes yesterday that this was a minor attack seem absurdly naïve in
retrospect.
So they are warning us and testing us. At this point, it seems to me
that a refusal
to extend the war to Iraq is not even an option. We have to extend it
to Iraq. It
is by far the most likely source of this weapon; it is clearly willing
to use such
weapons in the future; and no war against terrorism of this kind can
be won without
dealing decisively with the Iraqi threat. We no longer have any choice
in the matter."

Sullivan didn't stop there, however. Back then, you'll remember, he
was
railing against the "fifth column" on "both coasts" that was
supposedly sympathetic to bin Laden, and he was pining – aching – for
a "muscular"
response, one that would deal a decisive blow to what he termed
"Islamofascism":

"Slowly, incrementally, a Rubicon has been crossed. The terrorists
have launched
a biological weapon against the United States. They have therefore
made biological
warfare thinkable and thus repeatable. We once had a doctrine that
such a Rubicon
would be answered with a nuclear response. We backed down on that
threat in the
Gulf War but Saddam didn't dare use biological weapons then. Someone
has dared
to use them now. Our response must be as grave as this new threat."

Sullivan didn't just want to invade Iraq – he wanted to nuke the
entire country.
On the basis, I might add, of exactly zero evidence that the Iraqis
were behind
the anthrax letters, the same level of evidence that the FBI, today,
considers sufficient
to convict Ivins of that crime.

Does Sullivan really believe no one remembers what he wrote, or is it
that he –
thoroughly immersed in his new role as war opponent and Obama
supporter – no longer
recalls his frothy-mouthed call to commit genocide in Iraq?
