Expert Says Sen. Leahy Concerns Are Legitimate:
Sees West Nile Virus Outbreaks As Bioterrorism
Sandpoint, ID Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, has called for an investigation into the
possibility that recent West Nile Virus outbreaks were initiated
by bioterrorists. Suspects include Iraqi terrorists who
apparently received their initial stocks of the West Nile Virus
from the United States, according to public health officials, as
recorded in the Congressional Record.
Among experts providing Congressional testimony in support of
Sen. Leahys thesis is, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard graduate
and independent investigator whose thirteenth book, Death in the
Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare, predated the 9-11
attacks by three months. The book focuses on the West Nile Virus
as part of a biological weapons arsenal shipped to Iraq during
the 1980s.
Dr. Horowitz testified before the Government Reform Committee on
Capitol Hill on April 18 of this year regarding evidence he
compiled showing that vaccine makers for the West Nile Virus and
anthrax were suspects in the outbreaks and mailings. Supportive
evidence includes records from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, submitted to Congress, showing
that a pharmaceutical industry and bioweapons supplierthe
American Type Culture Collection in Marylandshipped Iraqi
laboratories more than nineteen shipments of anthrax and two
containers of the West Nile Virus, during the 1980s. Dr.
Horowitz believes that the recent outbreaks and anthrax
mailings, including the ones to Senators Leahy and Majority
Leader Tom Dashle, are part of a fear-rousing bioterrorist
agenda solely benefiting a consortium of mostly foreign-owned
vaccine, drug, and chemical companies historically linked to
such activities.
An excellent example, Dr. Horowitz said, is the
Michigan-based Bioport company. This infamous producer of
Americas anthrax vaccine, vigorously sanctioned in the past by
Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their
untrustworthyness, is directed by a wealthy Saudi industrialist
with purported ties to the bin Laden family or their
investments. Bioports operating plans were discovered by
American forces when they took control of an Osama bin Laden
encampment in Afghanistan.
News reports about West Nile Virus (WNV) spreading across
America have also missed obvious links to the global biological
weapons trade. Dr. Horowitz, who urgently alerted the FBI
concerning what he viewed was a developing anthrax mailings
scam a week before it was announced in the press, shared views
supportive to Senator Leahys during an nationally televised
interview on FOX News last month (See August 23rd segment at
http://www.healingcelebrations.com/wes ). During a meeting with
Senator Daschles staff on April 17, and again the following day
before the Government Reform Committee chaired by Rep. Dan
Burton (R-IN), Dr. Horowitz alerted officials regarding a
possible profit motive for recent epidemics, outbreaks, and
anthrax attacks. His written testimony (Available at:
http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/vaccine_awareness/antecendent
s_epidemic_autism.html ) reflected on Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy Thompsons unprecedented
half-billion dollars worth of anthrax and smallpox vaccine
purchases, made shortly after the anthrax mailings. Dr. Horowitz
noted with suspicion that these exact purchases fulfilled the
request made by the chief anthrax vaccine developer at Bioport,
Dr. Robert C. Myers, as entered into the Congressional Record in
1999. The mailings, he believes, provided the perfect
wag-the-dog impetus for the government expenditures.
Senator Leahy referred to an October 1999 issue of The New
Yorker that disclosed that the West Nile Virus arrived in New
York (other reports specify Rockefeller University labs) closely
following the germs isolation in 1937. It was shipped to New
York by virologists working in northwest Ugandaprecisely where
the Ebola virus, known to be the worlds best biological weapon,
is believed to have originated.
This area of central Africa is also known as the heart of the
African AIDS belt. Classified government documents unearthed by
Dr. Horowitz during a three year investigation, along with
eyewitness testimonies published by the doctor, evidence this
areas use in American military medical experiments from the
1950s through the 1970s. This research, he believes, is linked
to the origin of HIV/AIDS according to a scientific report
published in May 2001, in the esteemed journal of Medical
Hypothesis. The paper summarized the evidence compiled by Dr.
Horowitz for his national best-selling book, Emerging Viruses:
AIDS & EbolaNature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron,
1998; 1-888-508-4787).
The man-made origin of AIDS theory was recently investigated,
and rebuked, by the Congress investigating arm, the U.S.
General Accounting Office (GAO). Dr. Horowitz was among a
handful of experts interviewed by GAO officials during their
inquiry into the possibility that HIV, or its precursor, was
constructed by biological weapons contractors during a Special
Virus Cancer Program beginning in the 1960s. Their brief report
of expert testimonies, including his, dramatically differed from
his recorded statements. He plans to file a legal complaint
later this year.
Likewise concerned about the official suppression of truth in
this area, Senator Leahys office released excerpts from
previous news and congressional committee reports saying public
health officials had too hastily downplayed the possibility the
spreading West Nile virus, like the anthrax mailings, might be
the work of bioterrorists. The Judiciary Committee Chairman
countered by saying, In the times in which we live, questions
about our vulnerabilities are unavoidable, and finding all the
answers we can is more important than ever. Leahy concluded,
``I have no way of knowing what the answers are, but some
legitimate questions have been asked, especially before
September 11 last year, and no doubt they are being asked anew
by the agencies that are working on this.''
In The New Yorker article Sen. Leahy referred to, a book by an
alleged Iraqi defector, was discussed. The author suggested
Saddam Hussein might have developed the ATCC supplied West Nile
Virus to use as a biological weapon against the United States.
The article also cited the work of a Russian defector and
anthrax expert, Dr. Ken Alibek, who independent investigators,
including Dr. Horowitz, have urged the FBI to interrogate
regarding his possible complicity in the anthrax mailings.
Besides being a contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), the Battelle Memorial Institute, and Hadron Advanced
Biosystemsa bioweapons defense contractor, Dr. Alibekov (his
real name) does sophisticated anthrax work. All three entities
maintain close industry ties to Bioport, and according to
national news reports, the CIA and Battelle have been under
suspicion in the anthrax mailings. Dr. Alibek, now President of
Hadron, oversees millions of dollars in bioweapons defense and
pharmaceutical industry contracts, including an $800,000 federal
grant to develop anthrax protection technology. The grant was
awarded at the precise time the anthrax letters were being
mailed to Senators Leahy and Daschle. Both Democratic majority
leaders are staunch critics of the pharmaceutical and defense
industries.
Among the committee investigations Leahy criticized was that
issued by the Republican minority staff of the Senate Government
Affairs Committee in July 2000. It said ``law enforcement,
public health, and intelligence officials have investigated the
possibility that West Nile virus resulted from a bioterrorist
attack but believe that this is very unlikely.''
Very unlikely? Hogwash! Dr. Horowitz returned. This
possibility best explains the mountain of advancing evidence in
both the anthrax mailings and sudden emergence of the West Nile
Virus. The award winning public health authority believes
Senator Leahys concerns are extremely valid and politically
urgent. I applaud the senator for working to protect the
publics health, not lull legislators and people to sleep with
baseless assertions that deflect critical analysis away from
where it should beon the militarypharmaceutical complex that
supplied Saddam Hussein with his bioweapons.
