# Who dunnit? Recap: *Pop question … who executed the Anthrax mailings terrorist attack - on the back of 911?* I didn't know - dan @ formosahut put me onto it.[ The FBI website **states**:](https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/amerithrax-or-anthrax-investigation) *The Justice Department’s Counterterrorism Section, expended - hundreds of ****thous****ands of investigator work ****hours*** *on this ****case*** *- and conducted more than 10,****000**** witness interviews on six different continents. * Wow - that’s a lot isn’t it?! A seven year Robert Mueller-led *non*- investigation - the biggest *non*-investigation since the Kennedy assassination. Guessing that involved a whole-lotta public spondula - so - Robert Mueller - who’s dunnit? - drumroll … [Bruce Ivins](https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/02/us/02scientist.html) - Yeah i’d never heard of him either. A US biodefense scientist from Lebanon, Ohio Working at: Fort Detrick, the US's top bio-weapon defense facility (WIV is the Chinese equivalent) -he was[ a 30 year veteran](https://edition.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/06/anthrax.ivins/). It gets better: Ivins was an *expert advisor* to the FBI in their investigation into the Anthrax attack. An amazing one apparently [*LA Times:*](http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/anthraxbenefitpanic.html)* At a Pentagon ceremony in 2003 (two years in), Ivins .. from USAMRIID* (*was)** presented with the Decoration of Exceptional Civilian Service.* That’s hilarious. I’m sure he deserved it - the highest honour Defense can give ya. I kid you not. Of all the experts bravely defending us in *the war on bio-terror* you’re pin-up boy is the very-one who mailed the letters! Either you're the greatest idiots on earth - or - you're complicit - which is it? I can't think of a third explanation. [Ivins:](http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/anthraxbenefitpanic.html)* Awards are nice - but the real satisfaction is knowing the vaccine is back on line.* The *real dissatisfaction* is knowing it was a *known known* within weeks it was a lab-leak from Fort Detrick. Each strain of Anthrax has its own unique kinda signature. The spores in the American attack were signed: Fort Detrick bio-weapons lab - Frederick County - Maryland. *Yeah … now might not be a very good time to talk about that - right when we are about to wage wars to fight bio-terrorism. How’s it gonna look if we caused it?* Motive: Ivins was a[ co-inventor](http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/anthraxbenefitpanic.html) on two patents for quote* a genetically engineered anthrax vaccine*. Two more for additives - which turned out the most lucrative - developed for Coley Pharmaceuticals - now owned by Pfizer Corp. Ironically,[ Ivins later blamed](http://anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/2008/08/improbable-ending-scientist-bruce-ivins.html) his chronic blood disorder on having self-trialed too much of his own magic elixir. Bruce’s big picture?: Boost funding fa bio-defense research via paradigm disruption Inject a dose of urgency into the mix - an existential security threat - a market for that - a self-selling culture - fuck it - let's be a Religion - we're in the business of shaping Global Thought - get your mitts on that wheel you're steering the future. Which, in fact, all worked out spiffingly. Bio-science funded through the roof - aloof scientific experts mobilized as total-authorities - on* everything*. A ruse used to rape your biodata. To keep you safe. All thanks to a series of terrorist attacks perpetrated/covered-up by: top-experts acting with natural impunity ... Love from THE science community. Good job. You pulled all that off - now 20 years later - no-one knows, or cares who the fuck dunnit it - or ever will ... We've all moved on ...
