The 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy Kindle Edition

The 2001 anthrax letter attacks in the United States killed five people and
wounded dozens. They were widely blamed on extremist Muslims and
their backers and used to support the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

They were also used to justify and hasten the passage of the USA
PATRIOT Act, which was being presented to Congress just as the first
anthrax victim grew ill.

In October 2001, one of the hypotheses that gained ground was that of
the Double Perpetrator, the claim that al-Qaeda was carrying out the
attacks with the support of Iraq. Much evidence was put forth to support
this Double Perpetrator hypothesis but independent scientists soon
discovered that the anthrax spores came from a domestic lab in the US
serving the military and intelligence communities, not from al-Qaeda or
Iraq.

The FBI then quickly claimed that an individual was responsible for the
attacks and began noisily looking for this “lone wolf.” In 2008 the Bureau
named Dr. Bruce Ivins of the US Army Medical Institute of Infectious
Disease as the “anthrax killer.” Although the FBI remains committed to
the Ivins hypothesis, the case has been disintegrating for the last three
years. Currently, it is justly held in contempt not merely by scientists who
worked with Ivins but by many journalists as well as several US senators.
But this raises the question: if Ivins did not commit this crime, who did?

This book presents evidence to support the following points:
(a) The anthrax attacks were carried out by a group of perpetrators, not
by a “lone wolf.” The attacks were, therefore, the result of a conspiracy—
by definition a plan by two or more people, made in secret and resulting
in an immoral or illegal act.

(b) The group that carried out this crime consisted, in whole or in part, of
insiders deep within the US state apparatus.

(c) These insiders were the same people who planned the 9/11 attacks

(d) The anthrax attacks were meant to facilitate a seizure of power by the
executive branch of government through intimidation of Congress and
US civil society. They were also designed to achieve public acquiescence
to and support for the redefinition of US foreign policy, replacing the Cold
War with a new and aggressive global conflict framework, the Global War
on Terror.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Finally, a book has come out that explodes the FBI's anthrax letters case,"
Meryl Nass, MD, consultant on bioterrorism for
the Director of National Intelligence and the World Bank

"This deeply troubling book should be read by thinking Americans, and even more so by the majority that do not."-- Denis J. Halliday, UN Assistant Secretary-General 1994-98

"Graeme MacQueen provides abundant evidence that the anthrax attacks and the
9/11 attacks, both of which scared the American people into war, were carried out
by the same people ― people highly placed in the U.S. government."
David Ray Griffin, author of The New Pearl Harbor Revisited

I was very eager to read this book. I worked at the facility in NJ ,as a mechanic on the the machines that
the tainted letter passed through. I know the people infected. luckily I was not one of them. This is the best evidence of what really occurred. The truth may surprise you, if you choose to read it and accept it.
I worked for years with people where in denial. They simply couldn’t believe who was really responsible.
I won’t spoil it for you. I was worth every penny to me to confirm my suspicions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its The Control of the Corporate Media Stupid!
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015
Verified Purchase
MacQueen, in writing this book, positively shows that the entire swath of events, before, during and after the attacks themselves on 9/11/2001 were well planned, fairly well executed, and had a consistant, solid and clear objective...aka...replacing the defunct and CIA "propped-up" USSR as the "enemy of the west" with the Muslim World. However, the biggest issue of ALL the exposures now seen from the 9/11 attacks is that the perpetrators planned on using the corporate press to accomplish this world-wide "psy-op" and fearmongering event. AND this was/is true even if it required a blatant course reversal [read: more lying ] which MacQueen clearly exposes. The deep meaning is that...that the corporate perpetrators HAVE FULL CONTROL OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA in the anglo world...the USofA, Great Brittain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. And THAT THIS FULL CONTROL OF THE MEDIA holds a far worse future than the 9/11 attacks themselves. Information control represents the biggest challenge to the world ahead of us if we want to improve democracies, stop thes insane wars, and affect positive and effective environmental repairs, and affect a change of approach so badly needed to heal the planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A notable addition to 9/11 studies
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is very persuasive account of the post-9/11 anthrax attacks from a seasoned expert in 9/11 studies.

MacQueen traces a clear line between the anthrax attacks, which served to divert the FBI's investigative resources from the 9/11 attacks to this matter, and 9/11 proper. In his study, he clears the convenient patsy, Dr Bruce Ivins. Other commentators have been prepared to accept Ivins' guilt, by virtue of weak circumstantial evidence and his (apparent) suicide. Ivins might have been a strange fish, but that doesn't of necessity make him the culprit. Indeed, the science tends to exonerate him.

MacQueen's chief contribution here is to demonstrate the intended connection between the anthrax attacks and the perpetrators of 9/11. Though the science necessitates a conclusion that the anthrax attacks were perpetrated by elements within the US military-security complex, the overt efforts to link the anthrax attacks to 9/11 and the Florida hijacker nexus, persuasively demonstrate that the two events are inextricably connected at the planning level.

MacQueen's work packs a great deal into a short compass. He writes, as always, with a lean style that has no padding, conveying the essence of his arguments with admirable academic rigor. Whether you accept his conclusions or not, this is a work that anyone interested in 9/11 should read and contemplate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read on a forgotten chapter of the 9/11 attacks
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
Graeme MacQueen is that rarest of breeds--a well known figure in the 9/11 truth movement whom I implicitly trust as being honestly dedicated to unraveling the tangled web of lies surrounding the 9/11 attacks, of which the mostly forgotten and/or ignored anthrax attacks were an integral part. This painstakingly footnoted work shows how individuals in the mainstream media and Bush administration used the threat of bio-terror to not just push through the Patriot Act with minimal review by Congress but also to provide a perceived link between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and 9/11--a key element in the selling the needless and disastrous war to remove Saddam Hussein to the American public. Few may remember that on the eve of the invasion 69% of Americans believed Hussein was to some extent involved in the 9/11 attacks. Even fewer that John McCain actually used his time on the David Letterman show to suggest that the anthrax used in the October 2001 mailings "may" have come from Iraq. MacQueen's book takes us back in time to observe the events unfold, such that the plan becomes more than obvious--while America first became aware of the anthrax letters on October 10, 2001, the Bush administration and figures in the media had for weeks already been suggesting that al Qaeda would attempt another attack, "perhaps" using anthrax. At the core of MacQueen's argument is the inescapable conundrum--was it merely a lucky coincidence that an alleged "lone nut" with no ties to Islam or Iraq provided the Bush/Neocons with the exact type of attack they had been preparing America for in order to gin up support for their agenda, one that required a credible threat posed not just by Islamic terrorists but by Saddam Hussein? If you're still not sure this book is worth reading, then check out Prof. MacQueen's May 2010 talk at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, available on YouTube. For more about 9/11 in general, look up the film 9/11 The New Pearl Harbor by Massimo Mazzucco, the books of David Ray Griffin, and the video analyses of David Chandler. Beware of most everything else purporting to be representative of the real movement for 9/11 truth.

Ich kenne Graeme MacQueen als einen ernsthaften Wissenschaftler, weit entfernt von versponnener Verschwörungstheorie. Seine Erkenntnisse sind das Ergebnis einer fundierten Recherche und bieten einen interessanten Blick auf die Methoden zur Durchsetzung machtpolitischer Ziele der Bush-Administration mit seinen NeoCons in Folge der 9/11 Anschläge. In dieser Phase wurden die Grundlagen für die radikale Umgestaltung der US-amerikanischen Sicherheitsbehörden gelegt und nicht zuletzt auch der Startschuss für die unglaubliche Datensammelwut der NSA gegeben. Das erfolgreiche Zusammenwirken von parteipolitischer Propaganda und geheimdienstlichen Operationen zwecks gezielter Desinformation der amerikanischen Öffentlichkeit und zusätzlichem Druck auf den Senat (u. a. durch Bedrohung von Senatoren mit Schlüsselfunktionen) hatte zur Folge, dass US-Amerika seine hart und bitter erkämpften Freiheitsrechte freiwillig über Bord geworfen hat. Darüber hinaus hat das gut inszenierte Verwirrspiel die Grundlagen für die Kriege mit Afghanistan und Irak geliefert.

Die Erkenntnis, dass die 9/11 Anschläge und die Anthrax-Anschläge zweifelsohne in täterschaftlicher Verbindung stehen, die Anthrax-Anschläge jedoch hochwahrscheinlich einer amerikanischen geheimdienstlichen Operation zu zuordnen sind, wirft weitere Fragen auf, die jedoch an anderer Stelle geklärt werden müssen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think you know about the 2001 Anthrax attacks? think again
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2015

Dr Graeme McQueen, is a calm and reasonable academic from canada who thinks that the one clear avenue for unravelling the official narrative of 9/11 attacks, lies in the mistakes that were made by insiders who actually set up the Anthrax attacks in order to frame up muslims, but in particular Iraqi muslims in the form of Saddam Hussein and his regime.
He makes a highly compelling case that these attacks could not have been the work of arab terrorists, but must have come from a US chemical weapons laboratory (he names the most likely lab), and that the notes, the Modus Operandi and the sequence of events all point to powerful insiders who were terrorising senators, the media and the greater public, into rushing into a war with Iraq.
It is very simply and persuasively written. The case seems really water-tight. It's full of surprises (stuff that you just would not know just from the media) and very interesting leaps of inference that show that it really is much more plausible that powerful American operatives got everything they wanted from these attacks, and that it would have been impossible for terrorists to follow the highly intricate sequence of events (including choice of targets), choice of messages, and even misspellings.

All in all, a very good read, and it's scandalous that a work of this quality, depth and integrity, is not reviewed in the mainstream press.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential contribution to 9/11 research
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book about a largely forgotten act of "terrorism" - largely forgotten due to the fact that it was revealed that the anthrax posted to various US dignitaries in 2001 had to have come from a US lab. But how was it that one of the victims lived in the vicinity of some of the alleged 9/11 hijackers? Graeme MacQueen has done us all a great service by showing how the anthrax narrative had clearly been intended to be linked to these `hijackers', but that once it had been proven that the anthrax came from a US source this aspect was conveniently forgotten. MacQueen argues convincingly that the interlinking of the anthrax (from a US source) and the `hijackers' (supposedly Al-Qaeda terrorists) undermines the official 9/11 `conspiracy theory'. This is another important contribution to the research showing that 9/11 was an inside job.
