Agent In Charge of Amerithrax Investigation Blows the Whistle
http://www.911forum.org.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=169837#169837
The FBI head agent in charge of the anthrax
investigation – Richard Lambert – has just filed
a federal whistleblower lawsuit calling the entire FBI investigation bulls**t:
In the fall of 2001, following the 9/11 attacks,
a series of anthrax mailings occurred which
killed five Americans and sickened 17 others.
Four anthrax-laden envelopes were recovered which
were addressed to two news media outlets in New
York City (the New York Post and Tom Brokaw at
NBC) and two senators in Washington D.C. (Patrick
Leahy and Tom Daschle). The anthrax letters
addressed to New York were mailed on September
18, 2001, just seven days after the 9/11 attacks.
The letters addressed to the senators were mailed
21 days later on October 9, 2001. A fifth mailing
of anthrax is believed to have been directed to
American Media, Inc. (AMI) in Boca Raton, Florida
based upon the death of one AMI employee from
anthrax poisoning and heavy spore contamination in the building.
Executive management at FBI Headquarters assigned
responsibility for the anthrax investigation
(code named “AMERITHRAX”) to the Washington Field
Office (WFO), dubbing it the single most
important case in the FBI at that time. In
October 2002, in the wake of surging media
criticism, White House impatience with a seeming
lack of investigative progress by WFO, and a
concerned Congress that was considering revoking
the FBI’s charter to investigate terrorism cases,
Defendant FBI Director Mueller reassigned
Plaintiff from the FBI’s San Diego Field Office
to the Inspection Division at FBI Headquarters
and placed Plaintiff in charge of the AMERITHRAX
case as an “Inspector.” While leading the
investigation for the next four years,
Plaintiff’s efforts to advance the case met with
intransigence from WFO’s executive management,
apathy and error from the FBI Laboratory,
politically motivated communication embargos from
FBI Headquarters, and yet another preceding and
equally erroneous legal opinion from Defendant
Kelley – all of which greatly obstructed and impeded the investigation.
On July 6, 2006, Plaintiff provided a
whistleblower report of mismanagement to the
FBI’s Deputy Director pursuant to Title 5, United
States Code, Section 2303. Reports of
mismanagement conveyed in writing and orally
included: (a) WFO’s persistent understaffing of
the AMERITHRAX investigation; (b) the threat of
WFO’s Agent in charge to retaliate if Plaintiff
disclosed the understaffing to FBI Headquarters;
(c) WFO’s insistence on staffing the AMERITHRAX
investigation principally with new Agents
recently graduated from the FBI Academy resulting
in an average investigative tenure of 18 months
with 12 of 20 Agents assigned to the case having
no prior investigative experience at all; (d)
WFO’s eviction of the AMERITHRAX Task Force from
the WFO building in downtown Washington and its
relegation to Tysons Corner, Virginia to free up
space for Attorney General Ashcroft’s new
pornography squads; (e) FBI Director’s Mueller’s
mandate to Plaintiff to “compartmentalize” the
AMERITHRAX investigation by stove piping the flow
of case information and walling off task force
members from those aspects of the case not
specifically assigned to them – a move intended
to stem the tide of anonymous media leaks by
government officials regarding details of the
investigation. [Lambert complained about
compartmentalizing and stovepiping of the
investigation in a 2006 declaration. See this, this and this]
This sequestration edict decimated morale and
proved unnecessary in light of subsequent civil
litigation which established that the media leaks
were attributable to the United States Attorney
for the District of the District of Columbia and
to a Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI’s
National Press Office, not to investigators on
the AMERITHRAX Task Force; (f) WFO’s diversion
and transfer of two Ph.D. Microbiologist Special
Agents from their key roles in the investigation
to fill billets for an 18 month Arabic language
training program in Israel; (g) the FBI
Laboratory’s deliberate concealment from the Task
Force of its discovery of human DNA on the
anthrax-laden envelope addressed to Senator Leahy
and the Lab’s initial refusal to perform
comparison testing; (h) the FBI Laboratory’s
refusal to provide timely and adequate scientific
analyses and forensic examinations in support of
the investigation; (i) Defendant Kelley’s
erroneous and subsequently quashed legal opinion
that regulations of the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) precluded the Task
Force’s collection of evidence in overseas
venues; (j) the FBI’s fingering of Bruce Ivins as
the anthrax mailer; and, (k) the FBI’s subsequent
efforts to railroad the prosecution of Ivins in
the face of daunting exculpatory evidence.
Following the announcement of its circumstantial
case against Ivins, Defendants DOJ and FBI
crafted an elaborate perception management
campaign to bolster their assertion of Ivins’
guilt. These efforts included press conferences
and highly selective evidentiary presentations
which were replete with material omissions.
Plaintiff further objected to the FBI’s ordering
of Plaintiff not to speak with the staff of the
CBS television news magazine 60 Minutes or
investigative journalist David Willman, after
both requested authorization to interview Plaintiff.
In April 2008, some of Plaintiff’s foregoing
whistleblower reports were profiled on the CBS
television show 60 Minutes. This 60 Minutes
segment was critical of FBI executive
management’s handling of the AMERITHRAX
investigation, resulting in the agency’s
embarrassment and the introduction of legislative
bills calling for the establishment of
congressional inquiries and special commissions
to examine these issues – a level of scrutiny the
FBI’s Ivins attribution could not withstand.
After leaving the AMERITHRAX investigation in
2006, Plaintiff continued to publicly opine that
the quantum of circumstantial evidence against
Bruce Ivins was not adequate to satisfy the
proof-beyond-a-reasonable doubt threshold
required to secure a criminal conviction in
federal court. Plaintiff continued to advocate
that while Bruce Ivins may have been the anthrax
mailer, there is a wealth of exculpatory evidence
to the contrary which the FBI continues to
conceal from Congress and the American people.
Exonerating Evidence for Ivins
Agent Lambert won’t publicly disclose the
exculpatory evidence against Ivins. As the New York Times reports:
[Lambert] declined to be specific, saying that
most of the information was protected by the
Privacy Act and was unlikely to become public
unless Congress carried out its own inquiry.
But there is already plenty of exculpatory evidence in the public record.
For example:
Handwriting analysis failed to link the anthrax
letters to known writing samples from Ivins
No textile fibers were found in Ivins’ office,
residence or vehicles matching fibers found on
the scotch tape used to seal the envelopes
No pens were found matching the ink used to address the envelopes
Samples of his hair failed to match hair
follicles found inside the Princeton, N.J., mailbox used to mail the letters
No souvenirs of the crime, such as newspaper
clippings, were found in his possession as commonly seen in serial murder cases
The FBI could not place Ivins at the crime scene
with evidence, such as gas station or other
receipts, at the time the letters were mailed in September and October 2001
Lab records show the number of late nights Ivins
put in at the lab first spiked in August 2001, weeks before the 9/11 attacks
As noted above, the FBI didn’t want to test the
DNA sample found on the anthrax letter to Senator
Leahy. In addition, McClatchy points out:
After locking in on Ivins in 2007, the bureau
stopped searching for a match to a unique genetic
bacterial strain scientists had found in the
anthrax that was mailed to the Post and to NBC
News anchor Tom Brokaw, although a senior bureau
official had characterized it as the hottest clue to date.
Anthrax vaccine expert Meryl Nass. M.D., notes:
The FBI’s alleged motive is bogus. In 2001,
Bioport’s anthrax vaccine could not be (legally)
relicensed due to potency failures, and its
impending demise provided room for Ivins’ newer
anthrax vaccines to fill the gap. Ivins had
nothing to do with developing Bioport’s vaccine,
although in addition to his duties working on
newer vaccines, he was charged with assisting Bioport to get through licensure.
***
The FBI report claims the anthrax letters
envelopes were sold in Frederick, Md. Later it
admits that millions of indistinguishable
envelopes were made, with sales in Maryland and Virginia.
***
FBI emphasizes Ivins’ access to a photocopy
machine, but fails to mention it was not the
machine from which the notes that accompanied the spores were printed.
FBI Fudged the Science
16 government labs had access to the same strain
of anthrax as used in the anthrax letters.
The FBI admitted that up to 400 people had access
to flask of anthrax in Dr. Ivins’ lab. In other
words, even if the killer anthrax came from
there, 399 other people might have done it.
However, the FBI’s claim that the killer anthrax
came from Ivins’ flask has fallen apart.
Specifically, both the National Academy of
Science and the Government Accountability Office
– both extremely prestigious, nonpartisan
agencies – found that FBI’s methodology and
procedures for purportedly linking the anthrax
flask maintained by Dr. Ivins with the anthrax
letters was sloppy, inconclusive and full of
holes. They found that the alleged link wasn’t
very strong … and that there was no firm
link. Indeed, the National Academy of Sciences
found that the anthrax mailed to Congressmen and
the media could have come from a different source
altogether than the flask maintained by Ivins.
After all, the entire Ft. Detrick facility –
where Ivins worked – only dealt with liquid
anthrax. But the killer anthrax was a
hard-to-make dry powder form of anthrax. Ft.
Detrick doesn’t produce dry anthrax; but other
government labs – in Utah (Dugway) and Ohio (Batelle) – do.
The anthrax in the letters was also incredibly
finely ground; and the FBI’s explanation doesn’t pass the smell test.
Moreover, the killer anthrax in the letters had a
very high-tech anti-static coating so that the
spores “floated off the glass slide and was lost”
when scientists tried to examine
them. Specifically, the killer anthrax was
coated with polyglass and each anthrax spore
given an electrostatic charge, so that they would
repel other spores and “float”. In other words,
this was very advanced bio-weapons technology.
Top anthrax experts like Richard Spertzel say
that Ivins didn’t do it. Spertzel also says that
only 4 or 5 people in the entire country knew how
to make anthrax of the “quality” used in the
letters, that Spertzel was one of them, and it
would have taken him a year with a full lab and a
staff of helpers to do it. As such, the FBI’s
claim that Ivins did it alone working a few nights is ludicrous.
Moreover, the killer anthrax contained silicon …
but the anthrax in Ivins’ flask did not. The FBI
claimed the silicon present in the anthrax
letters was absorbed from its surroundings … but
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories
completely debunked that theory. In other words,
silicon was intentionally added to the killer
anthrax to make it more potent. And Ivins and Ft.
Detrick didn’t have that capability; but other government labs did.
Similarly, Sandia National Lab found the presence
of iron and tin in the killer anthrax … but NOT in Ivins’ flask of anthrax.
Sandia also found that there was a strain of
bacteria in one of the anthrax letters not present in Ivins’ flask.
The Anthrax Frame Up
Ivins wasn’t the first person framed for the anthrax attacks …
Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax
attacks were carried out by one or more U.S.
government scientists, a senior FBI official says
that the FBI was actually told to blame the
Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House
officials (remember what the anthrax letters
looked like). Government officials also confirm
that the white House tried to link the anthrax to
Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country. And see this.
People don’t remember now, but the “war on
terror” and Iraq war were largely based on the
claim that Saddam and Muslim extremists were
behind the anthrax attacks (and see this and this)
And the anthrax letters pushed a terrified
Congress into approving the Patriot Act without
even reading it. Coincidentally, the only
Congressmen who received anthrax letters were the
ones who were likely to oppose the Patriot Act.
And – between the Al Qaeda/Iraq angle and Ivins –
the FBI was convinced that another U.S.
government scientist, Steven Hatfill, did
it. The government had to pay Hatfill $4.6
million to settle his lawsuit for being falsely accused.
Ivins’ Convenient Death
It is convenient for the FBI that Ivins died.
The Wall Street Journal points out:
No autopsy was performed [on Ivins], and there was no suicide note.
Indeed, one of Ivins’ colleagues at Ft. Deitrich thinks he was murdered.
Whether murder or suicide, Ivins’ death was very
convenient for the FBI, as dead men can’t easily defend themselves.

There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
