Linking U.S. biowarfare development to the October 2001 anthrax attack on Congress—the most significant political attack on US democracy in recent history—Boyle sheds new light on * the motives for the attack * the media black hole of silence * why the FBI may never apprehend the perpetrators of this seminal crime of the 21st century The American people have deep cause for public concern about the US Chemical and Biological Defense Program.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
The NeoCons in the Bush Jr. administration have tried to sell this biowarfare arms race to the American people and the U.S. Congress as well as to the rest of the world by disingenuously claiming that it is all for the purpose of ‘defense,’ which, as previously explained, is not a permissible exception to the Biological Weapons Convention in the first place. Their specious argument deludes no one but the gullible, the frightened, the disinformed, the greedy, and the deliberately panicked. Certainly other major biotech states understand full well the military implications of this rapidly expanding U.S. biowarfare industry and will proceed to respond accordingly by deploying their own national biowarfare equivalents. The world will soon witness a de facto biological arms race among the major biotech states of the world under the guise of ‘defense’, and despite the requirements of the BWC. The 1972 BWC itself will gradually fall into desuetude even if its skeleton is kept upon the law books’unlike its contemporaneous 1972 AntiBallistic Missile Systems (ABM) Treaty that the Bush Jr. NeoCons made a point of repudiating outright on 13 December 2001,81 which they had also sought to accomplish going back to the Reagan administration,82 but now using the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks as a pretext for doing so. It will then become only a matter of time before some state intelligence agency uses biological weapons again for domestic terrorist purposes or for foreign warfare; or else a catastrophic accident occurs at some biowarfare facility in the United States or abroad. In regard to this latter eventuality, the recent mass distribution’allegedly by mistake!’of a virulent 1957 pandemic flu virus strain which killed between 1 million and 4 million people to 4,614 laboratories primarily in the United States and also to seventeen foreign countries is a harbinger of things to come.83 The massive proliferation of biowarfare technology, facilities, as well as trained scientists and technicians all over the United States courtesy of the NeoCon Bush Jr. administration will render a catastrophic biowarfare or bioterrorist incident or accident a statistical certainty. If such a catastrophic event should occur, it would mark the final end to democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and the Constitution in the United States of America even as we know and experience it today, as materially diminished under the burgeoning Bush Jr. NeoCon police state.

Clear Presentation of the Present Danger,
By
This review is from: Biowarfare and Terrorism (Paperback)
The Bush administration has broken international and domestic laws related to the development of chemical and biological warfare. The facts are presented succinctly in this book by one of the authors of the very international agreements that are being violated. The book also sheds light on the anthrax attacks against two of the leading Senators who might have impeded passage of the Patriot Act in the confusing aftermath of the 911 attacks.

Biowarfare crimes,
By William De Worde (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biowarfare and Terrorism (Paperback)
Prof. Francis A. Boyle sets out the facts in no uncertain terms. The ames strain of anthrax which was used on the biological attacks on the US Congress originated from the US military Fort Detrick laboratory. The anthrax attacks can't even be labelled a false flag attack because they were so blatantly an inside job.
This book will leave you with more questions than answers and an uneasy feeling int he pit of your stomach.
