A Sham Investigation into the Origins of SARS-CoV-2: EcoHealth Alliance and the Lancet
EcoHealth Alliance‘s CEO Peter Daszac has joined with the Lancet to investigate the origin of SARS-CoV-2, as the major part of a Lancet Covid Commission. But maybe the real reason for their investigation is to provide an acceptable origin narrative. As reported by GM Watch, “Daszak has promised to undertake the investigation “with an open mind”. But this…
In the interest of not adding to the confusion re Ivins
http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-anthrax0802,0,2705314.story My comments to a reporter were misinterpreted and I want to clarify them. The story says, “Ivins was a civilian working in the Army’s main bioterrorism program. Nass said Ivins always complained about being treated poorly by some of the military personnel.” Bruce did not ever complain to me about being “treated poorly.” I…
The Brussels rally last Saturday (with up to 500,000 people) was disrupted by the police, allegedly using agents provocateurs, who were driven by police into the rally

The police used water cannons, dogs, tear gas and the threat of mounted police to disperse the crowds. Luckily they did not use rubber bullets, as was done at…
How the US Detoured to Massive Debt/ WaPo
Appreciate the Washington Post giving us real numbers to improve our grasp of the deficit as we grapple with how to lower it (and in the near term, simply lower its growth rate). The nation’s unnerving descent into debt began a decade ago with a choice, not a crisis. In January 2001, with the budget…

I’ve been thinking about how the FBI should have approached the case.
It’s pretty simple: look for spores. The perp unavoidably left a trail of spores: a ton of spores where the anthrax was made (and/or where the envelopes were filled), likely spores in the perp’s car, etc. We know that the letters were leaking spores like crazy, despite being sealed with tape.
There are a limited number of likely places where the anthrax could have been made, a limited number of people who could have done it. The FBI could have checked every likely place (including USAMRIID of course) and every likely person’s car for spores and cracked the case within a matter of days.
As they say in the comic books, “that would have been too easy”.
The only thing the FBI still has right now is that Bruce Ivins was in mental health treatment and the public’s ignorance about that.
Bruce Ivins showed good insight into his situation and did exactly what you’re supposed to do when you realize that your thinking is off. He sought treatment and he reached out to friends.
He’s not the type of person that was so unaware of his challenges that he could just act out all over other people. The FBI can’t have it both ways, although they do try.
FBI had, then tossed anthrax type used in attacks
