BREAKING: Scientist Suspected in 2001 Anthrax Attacks Dead in Apparent Suicide

What is going on?

[link to ap.google.com]

details of that trial would have been too hot to handle.

oh yeah "suicide" sure thing.

Why hasn't anyone asked what this scientist knew about 9/11. Did he have advanced knowledge? What was his motive in the anthrax attacks?

pretty crazy.

getting really nasty.

gotta wonder what the heck is going on.

What's going on is that anyone who could potentially let info that would hurt the NWO out into the public is being suicided before they can speak. And still 95% of America walks in a waking slumber, unable to see what is happening all around them.

Oh that makes sense. And that spam king guy who committed suicide and murder. I bet he was in on the 9/11 thing since that's weird. CIA probably killed him, made it look like a suicide and murdered the other two. Not.

Lots of people commit suicide because of depression or other unbalanced mental health reasons. It doesn't always have to be conspiracy or connected to 9/11. Unless you need everything to be a conspiracy.

Must admit it is a little late to comit suicide now, Mmm huuh why now isn't it a little suspicous now??? Let see from 2001-2008 yeah!! Right!! Hey if that's the case why haven't all the 911 murderers committed suicide??? Why I'm sure the world would like to know is it only military and scientist who know to much that keep comitting suicide???

Here is an article about a breach in security at
Ft. Detrick in 2002.

What went wrong

FREDERICK — During a two-week period in April four years ago, officials at the Army’s lead biodefense laboratory at Fort Detrick discovered anthrax spores had escaped carefully guarded suites into the building’s unprotected areas.
The breach called into question the ability of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases to keep its deadly agents within laboratory walls seven months after the terrorism attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the anthrax mailings that autumn.

The 2002 incident was considered a containment breach because anthrax was found outside a containment suite, which is a group of laboratories and administrative rooms. USAMRIID uses strict security and sterilization methods to prevent the deadly agents stored inside from escaping.

Through a Freedom Of Information Act request, The Frederick News-Post obtained a 361-page report on the 2002 breach compiled by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, which oversees USAMRIID.

The News-Post also obtained reports of Detrick workers’ potential exposures to biological agents between April 1, 2002, and Dec. 1, 2005.

The News-Post used the USAMRMC report and the potential exposure documents to examine the changes USAMRIID has learned in the last four years, measuring its progress against Army recommendations and providing a rare look behind USAMRIID’s walls.


Finding the contamination
Concern about anthrax spores in supposedly clean areas began months before the April 2002 breach, during late 2001. That fall, anthrax-laced letters were mailed to Sens. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), as well as media outlets in New York and Florida.

In December 2001, a USAMRIID technician told Dr. Bruce Ivins, a microbiologist in USAMRIID’s Division of Bacteriology, that she was concerned she was exposed to anthrax spores when handling an anthrax-contaminated letter.

USAMRIID was in the midst of processing tens of thousands of items and environmental samples to rule out anthrax contamination, including the letters mailed to Sens. Daschle and Leahy.

Dr. Ivins, who still works in the bacteriology division but declined to comment for this story, tested the technician’s desk area that December and found growth that had the earmarks of anthrax.

He decontaminated her desk, computer, keypad and monitor, but didn’t notify his superiors.

In the USAMRMC report, Dr. Ivins told Army investigators he did the unauthorized testing because he was concerned the powder in the anthrax letters and other samples might not be adequately contained.

He again became suspicious of contamination April 8, 2002, when two researchers reported potential exposures to anthrax after noticing flasks they were working with had leaked anthrax, crusting the outside of the glass tubes.

USAMRIID officials found anthrax spores in several rooms within a conainment suite near the potential exposure.

Nasal swabs from one scientist involved in the incident tested positive. The scientist had been previously vaccinated and did not contract the disease.

When the contamination was discovered, Dr. Ivins performed an unauthorized sampling of areas outside containment April 15, according to the USAMRMC report.

He found anthrax spores in his office area; a passbox, which uses UV radiation to allow personnel to safely transfer materials from labs to outside areas such as hallways; and an area where scientists and technicians change from civilian clothing into laboratory garb.

Dr. Ivins found heavy growth of Ames-strain anthrax, a pathogenic or disease-causing form of the agent, on rubber molding surrounding the noncontainment side of a passbox.

His office area tested positive for Ames anthrax spores. The men’s change room tested positive for Ames spores and a few colonies of Vollum 1B, another pathogenic form.

The anthrax found in these areas was a different strain from that in the potential anthrax exposure April 8, suggesting at least two incidents of contamination. USAMRIID works with three anthrax strains: pathogenic strains Ames and Vollum 1B and Sterne, a nonpathogenic vaccine strain.


Confirmed
On April 16, 2002, Dr. Ivins notified the USAMRIID Bacteriology Division chief of the preliminary results from his April 15 sampling. USAMRIID confirmed the contamination April 16.

On April 18, official testing found anthrax spores in areas outside containment, including Dr. Ivins’ office and near a passbox.

A sample taken near the passbox tested positive for more than 200 spores of Ames-strain anthrax.

The testing also revealed spores in a men’s change room, posing a risk of contamination to the Jeanne Bussard center on South Market Street, where USAMRIID’s laundry is routinely processed after being sterilized at Fort Detrick.

The Army’s Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine found no anthrax contamination when it tested the center in the days after the breach.

USAMRIID sterilizes all laundry leaving change rooms, using high temperatures and pressure in machines called autoclaves.

USAMRIID Safety Officer Maj. Chris Ansell recently said all laundry has been autoclaved for years, before April 2002, and tests of the Jeanne Bussard center were an extra step in protecting its workers.


Where did the anthrax come from?
The USAMRMC report states that multiple episodes of anthrax contamination probably occurred in USAMRIID.

The most likely cause of the contamination found in April 2002, the report states, was an employee using old, ineffective bleach to decontaminate a container used to pass items through the passbox, and then placing the contaminated container on his desk.

The passbox contamination also may have occurred after researchers opened an anthrax-laced letter from the 2001 mailing attacks, the report states. The anthrax may have contaminated the outside of Ziploc bags used to transport material out of the passbox.

USAMRIID Commander Col. George Korch Jr., who was deputy commander during April 2002, said recently the institute still has not conclusively determined where the anthrax originated.

The spores could have existed in USAMRIID for years, biodefense expert Dr. C.J. Peters said earlier this year, as anthrax spores are extremely resistant.

Dr. Peters, the director for biodefense at the University of Texas Medical Branch Center for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases, served as USAMRIID’s deputy commander for several years until 2000.


Lax safety adherence
The USAMRMC report on the 2002 incident states — based on affidavits by scientists and officials — that USAMRIID had a comprehensive system of procedures in place that should prevent exposures if followed, but adherence to and enforcement of those procedures was lax.

The report was completed by investigating officer Col. David Hoover of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring.

Safety problems included researchers improperly using the passbox, improperly handling biohazard waste, lab clutter, unlabeled chemical bottles and poor housekeeping.

In one affidavit, USAMRIID’s biological safety officer and safety and occupational health manager said USAMRIID’s commander and division chiefs had been very responsive to any safety concerns he or she raised, but the responsiveness of laboratory supervisors to safety issues needed improvement.


Unconcerned about safety
An affidavit by USAMRIID’s safety and occupational health specialist also cited supervisory problems in handling safety violations — “a lack of teeth in the safety program,” he or she said.

“(Name redacted) has been very supportive, but there is not much interest from others in the headquarters in enforcing safety problems.”

The official, whose name was blacked out in the report, said he or she knew of some lab workers not showering, part of standard decontamination procedures.

In the report, the specialist states this example of some researchers having cavalier attitudes toward safety:

“For example, I went into a virology suite one day,” the specialist said. “He (no name specified) went through the hot change room stark naked carrying two library books and a bottle of Pepsi. I went in through the change room and found him sitting in the office drinking the Pepsi and wearing scrubs.

“I informed the individual that the Pepsi and the books from Frederick County Library should not have come in through the hot area but only through the passbox. Also, the library books would need to be autoclaved out of the suite.

“The researcher didn’t think these issues were important so I addressed it with (name redacted) and (he or she) addressed it with the supervisor.

“There was minimal support from the supervisor and division chief. In general, the virology division chief does not support safety concerns.”


‘Kind of sloppy’
In another affidavit, a research investigator in the bacteriology division, who served as a suite supervisor for about two years until mid-April 2002, questioned the efficacy of USAMRIID’s safety program.

The scientist said he or she routinely saw lab personnel not wearing latex gloves, standard laboratory protective equipment.

“Team anthrax are generally kind of sloppy,” the scientist states in the report. “I think there’s a serious problem. I recommend to my people to always wear one pair of gloves and to remove the outer pair of gloves after working with agent, since I can’t be sure the lab isn’t contaminated.

“There is institutional skepticism and a feeling that the safety program may be more about insulating the institute from criticism than from protecting the workers,” the scientist said. “Other workers have mentioned they might not report in the future because of the fallout from this episode.”


Discipline after report
Despite affidavits with finger-pointing at some individuals not following safety protocol, USAMRIID’s Col. Korch said no disciplinary action was taken against scientists named in the report.

“One thing you really want to avoid is, if you find a safety violation, you want to make sure there is an openness and acceptance about not being too punitive,” Col. Korch said. “You want to make people feel that they are openly contributing in a way that is not going to shut down (their) inclination to say ‘Hey, this happened.’”

USAMRIID spokeswoman Caree Vander Linden said that after the 2002 breach, the institute focused on learning from the incident and making necessary changes to prevent a similar occurrence.

After the breach, USAMRIID’s safety office began a weekly environmental surveillance of labs to catch agents in areas where they shouldn’t be. In the report, several scientists state surveillance cultures had once been routine but were rarely done by 2002.


Risk to Frederick
Dr. Peters said the 2002 breach revealed more about containment problems than a real danger to USAMRIID’s workers or the surrounding community, because while anthrax is deadly it isn’t contagious and the number of spores found was relatively small.

Of areas that tested positive for anthrax, nearly all had no more than three spores and one (near the passbox) had 200 spores, while a few thousand spores are necessary to infect the average person.

Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bacterium that forms spores, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Anthrax can be contracted through spores in the digestive tract, on the skin or in the lungs. Inhalation anthrax — caused by breathing in spores — is more lethal than skin-contracted, or cutaneous, anthrax. The well-refined anthrax spores contained in the 2001 mailings traveled easily through air into victims’ noses and lungs.

The CDC classifies bioterrorism agents such as anthrax into categories. Anthrax is classified in Category A, agents that may spread across a large area and need a great deal of planning to protect the public’s health.

USAMRIID researchers who work with anthrax are vaccinated against the agent with the current licensed anthrax vaccine, known as Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, or AVA.

No breaches of containment — the confirmed presence of agents where they shouldn’t be — have been reported before or after April 2002.

In USAMRIID’s 37-year history, researchers have reported five infections from biological agents they’ve worked with in the laboratories.


This would give them an excuse to blame him for the anthrax deaths. I also found info on his involvement in the development of the anthrax vaccine.

Is there a "convenient suicide" thread?
The DC Madame is the most obvious recent murder presented as suicide that the media has ignored. This one is a close second.

I just watched this report on Today.

I found it interesting the way they painstakingly
linked this man's name with the anthrax thing.

He's dead, he did it, case closed.

Just last month, the government exonerated another scientist at the Fort Detrick lab, Steven Hatfill, who had been identified by the FBI as a "person of interest" in the anthrax attacks. The government paid Hatfill $5.82 million to settle a lawsuit he filed against the Justice Department in which he claimed the department violated his privacy rights by speaking with reporters about the case.
The Times said federal investigators moved away from Hatfill and concluded Ivins was the culprit after FBI Director Robert Mueller changed leadership of the investigation in 2006. The new investigators instructed agents to re-examine leads and reconsider potential suspects. In the meantime, investigators made progress in analyzing anthrax powder recovered from letters addressed to two U.S. senators, according to the report.

Philip Zack!

Philip Zack!

Philip Zack!

Philip Zack!

Philip Zack!

Google that name and discover why this poor schmoo was suicided.

Hay maricon. Tu no sabes pero a tu esposa ... en el momento que saliste del apartamento, ella estaba arriva con Carlos. Mira amigo, estan con la pipa fumando crack. Y estan en la cocina compartiendo un "jumbo", y despues en tu misma cama el se la va a meter por el culo... y a ella le va a gustar. En tu cama verde especial.

Suicide by Tylenol. Now that's a new one on me. Wonder what the LD-50 is for Tylenol - C.

A lot of tracks hurridly being covered..

All who've aid'd the DarkSide should take notice..

The Snake is Eating itself..


..

The new Executive Order which Bush unveiled puts the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in control of all 16 US intelligence agencies, sapping power mostly from both the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Pentagon.

Upon assuming their new role this week, the DNI has been swift to begin dismantling the internal factions of those US intelligence networks believed to have been the masterminds of the 9/11 terror attacks, to include:

Former Top US Air Force Brigadier General Thomas L. Tinsley, who was in the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) on September 11, 2001 and failed to alert American Military Forces to the ongoing attacks was found dead with a gunshot to his chest and stated in the US propaganda media to have been a suicide.

Top US biodefense researcher Bruce E. Ivins has also been reported to have committed suicide with a massive drug overdose and was said to be behind the 9/11 anthrax attacks that terrorized to US media members and lawmakers.

Now another scientist bites the dust-luckily he was not like many that have died-(world class)


Seems every time we close in on further resolution on the 911 and what followed-there are others who make sure no tales are sung...


follow the trail from this person-as this anthrax could of only been made in the uSA

In fact, Plum Island had some of those 'super' anthrax...Lab 257 I believe


for truth

and for the continuing cannibalism of the nefarious hidden hand for it is still HIDDEN...who is ASSISTING these suicides...I would think if they 'masterminded' the whole thing they would of committed suicide earlier-seems tinsley had a reasonable record behind him-what would motivate one such as this to end it LIKE THIS?



edit to remind oneself...

& my sister's a nun

psyops are long & deep

Now Bush can say he finally killed Bin Laden and look like he actually did something good for this country before his time is up.

I remember MSM screaming AlQaeda!!!! Bin Laden!!! Arabs!!! but in fact it was american scientist...

pathetic

Suicide?!? Good one!

Phillip Zack was caught on camera taking the anthrax out of the lab. This is the first time i ever heard of "Ivins". is that even a real name? is Ivins the scapegoat?

Several more people will be suicided before Bush/Cheney leave office.

Bump

at least the gubment is getting their suiciding down to more believable methods. i bet that agent that blasted that guy in the chest a few days ago might end up being suicided himself.

Didn't someone post on here years ago that the anthrax was an unnatural or modified strain? Why has it taken 7 years to charge someone?

Makes sense that they guy did it, but the timing is odd.
