Yeah, Israel and America in the same breath. As if our interests are exactly the same.
That makes sense. Because after all, Israel love us so much. We should fight for her.

I mean, that's why the Jews in America who support Israel, and even have dual citizenship, are working so hard to get as many immigrants in the country on the sly as they can - cause, naturally, they want us to know how much the world loves us. And what better way then to tell you in person. No?

Anyway, by now it's pretty obvious that the USA is just a name on the map and that Israel controls this country from head to toe and inside out. Only in that respect does it makes sense to put the two names together. America is of interest to Israel because quite simply, we belong to them. They own this place.
That's why in the past few years you see some of their writers online telling us about the similarities between Anti-Semetism and Anti-Americanism. Of course, they are one and the same for the reasons given above. But in truth, when it comes to an America that was supposed to be about Freedom and Individuality the most virulent Anti-Americans were the same people supporting Israel. This can be seen in their treatment of people like Sam Francis, Joe Sobran, and Mr. Sailer himself, among many, many others.


I admit, that I too could be counted among the slow-witted in the States who, though I had a sense, knew it wasn't enough, but still couldn't connect the dots. So, I went on with my life. Until my life, and what was happening around me, were so hopelessly intertwined that, if I was ever going to even have a life, I would have to free myself emotionally and psychologically from this mess. And to do that I would have to learn more. Only then could I begin, what has proven to be, a difficult seperation process that is far from over.

I don't think this experience of mine is at all unique today. But it's happening. Thank God for the Internet.

I really wonder how suspicious it was that Ivins sent one or two friends emails saying he thought Osama had Anthrax or Sarin.

After all, that's exactly what all the neocons and neocon-journalists like Judy Miller had been saying for years. Maybe Ivins read it in the Weekly Standard or saw it on FoxNews.

And remember he was an Anthrax biowarfare researcher. So wouldn't a biowarfare researcher tend to focus on the alleged biowarfare weapons of Osama?

I'd bet that half the biowarfare researchers in America sent similar sorts of email to their friends around the same time.

As Neil Craig noted on another thread, they had all the info to narrow the list of suspects down to a very few people very early on. Some, shall we say, creative interrogations and interviews of the very few people with access and expertise, and I would think they'd have their man pretty quick. What has the FBI been doing for seven years? Famous But Incompetent indeed.

At one step down from the deliberate-conspiracy-to-get-the-PATRIOT Act-passed hypothesis, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that it was a government drill gone bizarrely and insanely wrong, and it's taken them this long to concoct a cover story.

Or, as it just might be, this lone nut just went off the rails one day. He certainly wouldn't be the first normal-appearing psychophath.

Leak: We know he was the anthrax mailer because the mailbox was 100 yards from a sorority he was obsessed with.

Reality: It was 100 yards from a sorority storage site which had a member that he dated 27 years ago at another school in Ohio.

Thank you, Steve, for going out on a limb and suggesting a possible motive. No one else has done that that I've read.

It's fairly plausible - he was someone who wanted people to take his field more seriously, and chose the most unethical of methods to try to change that. Others are content to spread panic and portray themselves as the only logical savior - less unethical, but in sum probably about as damaging.

They found similar letters and envelopes in his house?

So the handwriting matches? That would be conclusive. Why don't they tell us that?

A mismatch might not be conclusive, perhaps he had a partner.

Steve: "My experience, as I've gone through life, is that the fraction of people who, at some point in their lives, aren't quite right in the head is much higher than you might imagine."

And ain't that the case!

to roberthume,

I think we can safely assume Ivins worked alone. Played alone. Did a lot of things alone.

Here's my favorite bit from the AP article:

An avid juggler, Ivins gave juggling demonstrations around Frederick in the 1980s.

"One time, he demonstrated his juggling skills by lying on his back in the department and juggling with his hands," said Byrne, who described Ivins as "eccentric."

I like that quote. It's a keeper.
