I have no doubt that the terrorists who attacked on 9-11 were foreign agents.
Like our own government, however, I have doubts about the source of the anthrax attacks.
Well, a long time ago I was taught
a simple, basic theory - follow the money.
Using this, I have asked myself: "Who were the targets, and who gains from these attacks?"
The targets were favorites of the political right wing: the "liberal" news media, a Democratic leader
in Congress, the Supreme Court. What has changed recently? We are seeing billions of dollars in tax
refunds and rebates going to big corporations, an attempt to force through oil drilling in Alaska, and a
more aggressive foreign policy that allows use of naked power in a part of the world that is key to vital
resources, in particular oil from
the vast untapped Caspian Sea region.
So far, all we know about the anthrax is that this was sophisticated material, that it was mailed
domestically, and that law enforcement "cannot" find the source. Could this be a purge from within our
own government of elements that might oppose expansion of political power in the name of domestic
security? Just as there continue to be suspicions of CIA involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy,
this has the fingerprints of a
sophisticated and well-thought out operation.
Now I'm scared ....
