Anthrax case .... One more piece of "funny" information
CNN Radio News this AM ...... It was reported this AM that Dr. Ivins killed himself
on the day that he was supposed to have met w/ prosecutors to discuss a "plea
bargin" about his actions. But just last week the story was that the prosecutors
were going to seek the death penalty against Dr, Ivins. To me seeking the
execution of somebody does not seem like any plea bargin I have ever heard of
and "it" seems like one more piece of information that is being put out to
convict Ivins in the press.

1. The biggest question for me in this very convenient 'end'
is how no one knew that Ivins was going to be charged until after he died.

3. Yep. 7 years later......
if they had damning evidence and his 'therapist' thought he was homicidal, why in the hell was he still working with access to deadly biological agents? That makes no sense to me.

Indeed they haven't fooled me once during these past seven plus years.

2. Nothing more than BushCo tying up loose ends before the election
Face it, they're attempting to take an important issue off the campaign table. No one will be able to say "They haven't even caught the anthrax murderer!" Well, NOW they have. If you're foolish enough, after nearly eight years of this shit, to believe a single word Bush or his people say.

7. I wonder why, if the case is closed, did the FBI confiscate library computers?
If the case is closed, you don't go around collecting new evidence. Were they worried that Ivins may have left information behind (or sent it out) that might implicate others? Will they confiscate his attorney's computers? The FBI wanted him dead and now they want to insure there's no evidence of his innocence or someone else's guilt.

19. Oh no...
Does that mean a lovely Bin Laden-ish October Surprise to give McCain a boost? Perish the thought. :scared:

6. "They" are all over the map on this case
Ivins didn't have access to powered Anthrax.

bush and Cheney tried to blame the Anthrax on "terrorists."

And now this???????

They are throwing tons of poop and seeing what sticks big time.

18. The More Spin And Confusion In The Story The More They'll Be Able To Point To Us........
as conspiracy theorists and make it look nuts for making things up. This is just another JFK, MLK assassination or 9/11 confusion cover that they drop over these operations - that give them the cover years downline.

What's making it harder on them to cover up and confuse though are a couple of things. 1. We are smarter now and know their tactics - God knows we've had a lot of experience in debunking their past obfucations - we are kinda learning their MO. 2. We also have the Internet today and have learned how to use it. We're able to search and find news-stories, pictures and even people that are involved through the Internet. It's harder to cover their tracks theses days.


So - with *Co connecting the dots is becoming easier and easier with each passing day. Some of the dots being connected forwards, - pre 9/11 up to 9/11 - and other dots being connected backwards - from where we are today back to 9/11.

It appears that they are starting to converge. We're putting the pieces together and following the money so to speak and finding motive and benefit.

I'm just hoping that we have some patriots out there that have some inside knowledge that can provide insight into just how criminal and traitorous this *Co administration is.

8. the routine they used was designed to make him crack up
They could have charged him, if they had any evidence at all, months ago.

They wanted him to suicide before they filed charges, so they could wrap it up with a nice bow.

10. Nothing To Look At Here...Move Along
:sarcasm:

Ya know that's soooooooo 2001. C'mon, there's nothing suspicious here at all...we should be jumping for joy that this regime didn't "forget" about this case...there aren't any "terrirists" in the U.S., that was just a "mistake". :sarcasm:

It's far more important that hours are spent "discussing" Gramps latest slime attack or "debate" if the surge is working or how scary Obama is than to look at serious news. That requires real journalism and our corporate media wouldn't know real journalism if it came up and handed them the story.

Thank goodness for the blogs in asking the big questions and I hope it'll lead to answers as well. The stench on this is major and the corporate media, who was a target of the attacks, want to pretend it never happened.

This country is in a real mess right now...and the corporate media plays gatekeeper to both protect this regime and push their own agendas.

12. So Now It's A Plea Bargain?
I thought this dude was supposed to be arrested and charged? Yep, sounds like there's a bunch of leaking going on here to muddle things.

You're probably not wrong...it's long been documented here how Chicken Noodle Nuze has been a black-op front for this regime.

15. CNN Is Owned By Time/Warner
But...one of their biggest investors are several Saudi Arabs...from the Bandar boosh wing. It's not quite CNN directly, it's the entire company including Time Magazine and a ton of other TV channels, movies, CDs...and so on. They came in to save the company following the disastrous merger with AOL that almost bankrupted the company.

At one time I had CNN on here 24/7...now if I pop it on for a few minutes here or there, that's about it. The problem is that many others still consider it either "neutral" or even "librul".

16. He wasn't even indicted yet
The grand jury was still hearing testimony and would be for at least two more weeks. Why would they plea bargain when there's no indictment? Why would the death penalty play into things if there's not even an indictment?
This doesn't make sense to me.

17. But I thought he "killed" himself two days earlier when he took the OD.
Was Ivins a mentalist as well?
