Washington Post Reports FBI
Investigating
Vaccine-Makers’ Motives in Anthrax Mailings
By Dr. Len Howowitz
Sandpoint, ID — More than two months after Harvard-trained
public health professional Dr. Leonard Horowitz urged the FBI
to investigate drug companies for anthrax related mischief,
including frightening the public for profit, the Washington
Post has reported the bureau is pursuing the possibility that
financial gain was the primary motive behind the deadly anthrax
mailings.
Dr. Horowitz, director of a government watch-dog group that
published Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic
Warfare months before the September 11 attacks, petitioned the
FBI on October 1 to investigate pharmaceutical companies the
Washington Post has reported are finally being investigated.
Washington Post writers Susan Schmidt and Joby Warrick reported
(on December 21) that the FBI was probing at least two military-
industrial contractors that stocked the specific mailed anthrax
powder. The first is the Army’s Dugway Proving Grounds (DPG),
and the second is the intimately related Battelle Memorial
Institute (BMI).
BMI is a reputed “nonprofit” CIA and military contractor
involved in vaccine acquisitions and development. It also
administers and supplies the aerosolized bioweapons “Life
Sciences” facilities at DPG. It is believed to be the sole
source of the mailed anthrax according to a report sent to
1,500 FBI personnel, 8,700 news producers, and more than
400,000 Americans beginning December 11, 2001, by Dr. Horowitz.
The doctor’s FBI communiqués, along with other related
articles, are archived at

Much incriminating evidence points to the Ohio-based anthrax
vaccine developer, BMI, and collaborators at a Michigan
laboratory named Bioport. According to evidence pieced together
by Dr. Horowitz, BMI developed the specific Ames strain of
powdered anthrax for a top-secret CIA bioweapons program an
anonymous Pentagon official called “Project Jefferson.” A
subsequent article by William Broad in the New York Times
(December 13, 2001) referred to the project as “Clear Vision.”
Dr. Horowitz first reported on December 11 that BMI, in West
Jefferson, Ohio, also directs a consortium of smallpox and
anthrax vaccine makers, including Bioport, for the U.S.
military’s “Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program” (JVAP)—a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
Bioport, widely reported to be the sole supplier of anthrax
vaccine in the U.S., is less known for its evolution from
England’s Porton Down through for-profit subsidiaries. Porton
Down is the chief biological weapons research and development
organization for the U.K. According to the Washington Post
article, the FBI has failed, to date, to investigate Porton
Down, allegedly due to evidence suggesting a domestic origin of
the anthrax powder.
“I wouldn’t underestimate the involvement of multinational
military-industrialists in this largely transparent
conspiracy,” Dr. Horowitz said. “Contrary to the Washington
Post report, the field of suspects has been effectively
narrowed to principally two—Battelle and Bioport. Dugway’s
bioweapons program, reported to have placed Battelle under
contract, is really administered and supplied by Battelle. BMI
is also contracted by the CIA, and the U.S. and U.K.
militaries. Bioport is primarily directed by the U.K.’s
military bioweapons consortium from Porton Down, and is linked
to BMI through the JVAC as well as in the co-development of
America’s anthrax vaccine.” Administrative ties between BMI and
Porton Down developers are suspected.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI only learned of a BMI-administered CIA “defensive” biowarfare contract involving the
Ames-strain of anthrax in recent weeks. “The CIA program was
[allegedly] designed to develop defenses to a vaccine-resistant
strain of anthrax reportedly created by the former Soviet
Union,” officials defended. According to the article, CIA
spokespersons expressed certainty that “the anthrax used in the
mailings did not come from their work.”
Plausible denial-ability has been “a proven ploy for CIA
defense propagandists for a half century,” Dr. Horowitz
rebutted. “Though partly accurate, the powdered anthrax did
not ‘come from their work,’ nor are they ‘missing’ any. Theircontractor—BMI—is another story. Their defense is deceptive for
at least two other reasons: 1) the Soviets’ most potent anthrax
was only half as concentrated as this new CIA/Battelle
creation; and 2) it’s an American—Ames, Iowa—strain, not a
Soviet strain. Obviously, you don’t develop a new hyper-weaponized strain of American anthrax powder for
military “defense” purposes, or even for preventive
vaccinations, against an old Soviet threat, and then commission
the top U.S. anthrax expert [William C. Patrick, III] to report
on the germ’s capability and lethality from mailed delivery,
unless that’s how you foresee it being used.”
Indeed, Dr. Horowitz’s analysis appears accurate. Vaccines are
developed to help guard against pre-existing threats. This
unprecedented anthrax development was illegally prepared,
apparently for offensive military applications, sabotage,
terrorism, and/or other secret spread to kill potentially large
populations. Dr. William C. Patrick’s mailed anthrax report,
commissioned just months ago, implicates chiefly Battelle, the
CIA, and Bioport in a conspiracy to commit military-industrial
sabotage, terrorism, and serial homicide if not economic
genocide. Dr. Horowitz’s full report on this hypothesis,
accompanied by a detailed “flow chart,” is available for
downloading from
http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/anthrax_espionage.html.
Referring to the unprecedented silica-based, electro-statically
charged, dry powdered form of anthrax sent through the mail to
members of the media and Senators Daschle and Leahy, Dr.
Horowitz concluded, “It was the only form of anthrax that could
be effectively spread, as it was, through the U.S. mail with
such far reaching effects.”
