Award-Winning Bioterrorism
Author Urges New FBI Investigation:
Suggests Anthrax Mailings May Be Industrial Espionage
NEWS RELEASE
Sandpoint, ID — An award-winning public health authority and bioterrorism expert
called on FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate the Bayer Corporation, and
possibly the CIA, for clues linking recent anthrax mailings to possible
industrial espionage. In an open letter to Mr. Mueller, members of Congress, and
the media, the Harvard-trained public health investigator, Dr. Leonard Horowitz,
urged the stymied bureau to consider overlooked intelligence upon which he was
able to make a series of stunningly accurate bioterrorist predictions.
As posted on the Internet at
http://www.prophecyandpreparedness.com, Dr. Horowitz initially urged FBI
officials to investigate the Bayer Corporation and the Food and Drug
dministration for possible conflicts of interest concerning the anthrax
antibiotic Cipro two weeks before the first anthrax letter was received by
American Media, owner of the National Enquirer. The doctor’s concerns prompted
the Washington Times to report the suspected “scam” in their nationally
circulated Insight Magazine. (See
http://insightmag.com/main.cfm?include=detail&storyid=138294).
Dr. Horowitz reported that ABC News had been “wagging the dog for Cipro sales,”
using fear and standard propaganda methods to increase Bayer profits. His
prophetically titled book, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic
Warfare (Tetrahedron Publishing Group, 2001; 1-888-508-4787), released months
before 9-11, cited several examples of biological agents suspected of being used
in recent years for profiteering by multinational corporations involved in
industrial espionage. These include E coli 157, the West Nile virus, the foot
and mouth disease microbe, and influenza viruses. He also gave a six-month
advanced warning that Larry Wayne Harris, a self-proclaimed CIA agent and
microbiologist arrested for transporting anthrax spores to Las Vegas, would be
used for the purpose of political propaganda.
Quoting from an interview published on December 30, 1997 in the weekly national
newspaper CONTACT, Dr. Horowitz responded to questions concerning anthrax
bioterrorism, and medical preparations, including vaccinations by saying, “Look
at the motive behind the persuasion . . . They’re preparing us for a biological
holocaust and they’re going to blame it on the Muslims, Christian patriots, and
militia groups. . . .”
In his letter to FBI Director Mueller, Dr. Horowitz wrote, “I sincerely hope
that your agency will diligently attend to evidence that the Bayer Corporation
and/or its directors/investors may be administratively and/or financially linked
to the anthrax mailings. This historically untrustworthy company has been
officially linked to holocaust atrocities and terrorist activities leading to
WWII. At minimum, a clear possible motive for the mailings would be industrial
espionage as Bayer has profited most, thus far, from these crimes.”
The author of the national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS &
Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Press, 1998; 1-800-336-9266)
went on to summarize the FBI’s current view that the sophisticated nature of the
mailed silica-mixed anthrax powder strongly suggests it originated from a
state-run weapons program “like those in the United States in the 1960s,” Dr.
Horowitz wrote. He noted that, according to the U.S. Congressional Record, the
CIA had, thereafter, illegally stockpiled Bacillus anthracis, most likely
supplied by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)—a non-governmental
organization found to have supplied weapons grade anthrax to Sadam Hussein prior
to the Gulf War. According to the New York Times, the silica-mixed anthrax is
believed to have originated in a laboratory with expensive equipment and at
least one well-trained microbiologist.
“This suggests ‘white-collar bioterrorism’ and the possibility that ATCC may
have shipped anthrax to the Bayer Company (or affiliated CIA) officials for
Cipro or other experiments in which ‘expensive’ technology was brought to bear
on the creation of such a ‘weaponized’ form of anthrax powder,” Dr. Horowitz
said.
Linking the German-based company to the holocaust, as well as the CIA, Dr.
Horowitz urged the FBI director to recall the fact that the CIA (currently
overseeing public health and infectious disease departments for national
security reasons) took over the I.G. Farben/Bayer building at the close of WWII
as they helped many Nazi scientists and wealthy German industrialists escape to
America and elsewhere during Project Paperclip. Hermann Schmitz, Bayer’s
president at the time, and overseer of Farben controlled labor camps, was only
sentenced to four years of imprisonment at his Nuremberg trial. The company
emerged from the holocaust virtually unscathed.
Urging Mr. Mueller to personally reply to his request, Dr. Horowitz concluded
his letter by admitting that his life may be at risk for advancing such
politically incorrect possibilities. “I am willing to sacrifice my life for God
and truth in defense of the American people, especially in efforts to avert
massive killings that may accrue from overlooked biological and chemical
threats; even if these threats include elements within our own cryptocracy,” he
wrote. “Shouldn’t we, the People of the United States, expect the same from you,
our highest ranking FBI official?”
