Anthrax attacks' 'work of neo-Nazis'

War on Terrorism: Observer special

Ed Vulliamy in New York Sunday October 28, 2001 The Observer

Neo-Nazi extremists within the US are behind the deadly wave of anthrax attacks against America, according to latest briefings from the security services and Justice Department. Experts on 'survivalist' groups and extreme-right 'Aryan' militants have been drafted into the investigation as the focus shifts away from possible links with the 11 September terrorists or even possible state backers such as Iraq.

'We've been zeroing in on a number of hate groups, especially one on the West Coast,' a source at the Justice Department told The Observer yesterday. 'We've certainly not discounted the possibility that they may be involved.'

The anthrax crisis, which grew last week, had by Friday night spread to mailrooms at CIA headquarters, the Supreme Court and a hospital, and yesterday three traces were found in an office building serving the US Capitol.

'There are a number of strong leads, and some people we know well that we are looking at,' the Justice Department said. 'These are groups organised into militia and "survivalist" movements - which pull out of society and take to the hills to make war on the government, and who will support anyone else making war on the government.'

Investigators are examining threatening letters sent to media organisations - some dated before the 11 September attacks - which did not contain anthrax but contained similar messages and handwriting style as those which later did. The theory is that the anthrax attacks were planned - and the killer germ was obtained and treated - long before the carnage of 11 September.

Speaking to The Observer yesterday, the Justice Department official said: 'We have to see the right wing as much better coordinated than its apparent disorganisation suggests. And we have to presume that their opposition to government is just as virulent as that of the Islamic terrorists, if not as accomplished.

'But that is, in its way, one of the most compelling possible leads in the anthrax trail - that it is not really al-Qaeda's style, but rather that of others who sympathise with its war against the American government and media.'

The official said the investigation had, in the past week, drafted in special teams from the Civil Rights division of the department to reinforce the international terrorism teams. The American neo-Nazi Right is motivated above all by its loathing of the federal government, which it believes is selling out the homeland to a 'New World Order' run by masons and Jews.

Its insane politics have propelled numerous attacks and armed stand-offs over the past eight years, culminating in the carnage at Oklahoma. Now the anthrax investigation is zooming in on possible connections between these neo-Nazis and Arab extremists, united by their mutual anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel. Such alliances have been common among neo-Nazis in Europe, but have played a lesser role in the US. However, monitoring of the hate groups shows they are now embracing al-Qaeda's terrorism as commendable attacks on the federal government.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal centre in Los Angeles said that at a meeting in Lebanon this year, US neo-Nazis were represented alongside Islamic militants. 'There's a great solidarity with the point of view of the bin Ladens of the world,' said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Centre, which monitors the far right. 'These people wouldn't let their daughters near an Arab, but they are certainly making common cause on an ideological level. They see the same enemy: American culture and multiculturalism.'

Neo-Nazi websites, including the largest umbrella organisation, the National Alliance, show support for al-Qaeda. Billy Roper, the alliance's membership coordinator posted a message within hours of the 11 September attacks, reading: 'Anyone who is willing to drive a plane into a building to kill Jews is all right by me. I wish our members had half as much testicular fortitude.' Another group, Aryan Action, praised the attacks of 11 September, saying: 'Either you're fighting with the Jews against al-Qaeda or you support al-Qaeda fighting against the Jews.' Others outwardly support the anthrax mailing.

One message, entitled 'No Sympathy for the Devil', was posted in several chat rooms by right-winger Grant Bruer, whose racist writings are circulated among supremacist groups. It reads: 'Is there not a single person who has received these anthrax letters that isn't an avowed enemy of the white race? Tom Brokaw, Tom Daschle and the gossip rag offices have all been 100 per cent legitimate targets. Who among us has the slightest bit of sympathy for these pukes?'

Right-wing groups have had an interest in anthrax and other biological agents. A member of the Aryan Nation group once bragged he had a stash of anthrax from digging up a field where cows had died of the disease in the 1950s. Larry Wayne Harris was arrested after trying to obtain three vials of bubonic plague from a mail-order science company.

The trail leading investigators to groups from the domestic ultra-right - rather than the al-Qaeda terror network - comes as a dramatic twist in the confused crisis. Last week, parallel evidence appeared to be linking the now rampant anthrax attacks to another trail: leading from Iraq and through the Czech Republic, with al-Qaeda militants as the likely couriers.

The shift in the investigation echoes that which followed America's other infamous terrorist attack: the destruction of the federal government building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The bombing was initially thought to be the work of Arab extremists, but turned out to be the work of the Aryan supremacists.

Like Mark Potok would allow his daughter near an Arab!

I am surprised it took ZOG so long to get around to this particular angle. I wonder how they explain the weapons grade quality of the stuff? and the fact that only a very small few have access to it. Israel for one.

*Neo-Nazi extremists within the US are behind the deadly wave of anthrax attacks against America, according to latest briefings from the security services and Justice Department. Experts on 'survivalist' groups and extreme-right 'Aryan' militants have been drafted into the investigation as the focus shifts away from possible links with the 11 September terrorists or even possible state backers such as Iraq. *

A shift due, no doubt, to the Commissariat of Internal Security and the ADL, SWC, and SPLC being in bed with each other. Who are these supposed experts? Shills for the ADL to the man. This situation is intolerable. Jewish interest groups now have the full support of the American government (to the point of acting as their de facto agents) to silence their personal enemies.

*Neo-Nazi websites, including the largest umbrella organisation, the National Alliance, show support for al-Qaeda. Billy Roper, the alliance's membership coordinator posted a message within hours of the 11 September attacks, reading: 'Anyone who is willing to drive a plane into a building to kill Jews is all right by me.

Others outwardly support the anthrax mailing. *

Jews were also seen celebrating the destruction of the WTC. Why aren't we investigating them?

*"'There's a great solidarity with the point of view of the bin Ladens of the world,' said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Centre, which monitors the far right. 'These people wouldn't let their daughters near an Arab, but they are certainly making common cause on an ideological level. They see the same enemy: American culture and multiculturalism.' " *

So now everyone who opposes the cultural and ethnic debasement of America is explicitly expressing "solidarity" with bin Laden. What hubris.

Look what this dated tripe says about the speaker (there is a BIG point coming up here)

'[B]There are a number of strong leads, and some people we know well that we are looking at,' the Justice Department said. 'These are groups organised into militia and "survivalist" movements - which pull out of society and take to the hills to make war on the government, and who will support anyone else making war on the government.[/B]"

 The sources of this are looking at the letters marked clearly 9.11.03 at the top (on the critical Daschle/Leahy ones), plus reading their intent:  to link America and Israel as if America and Israel hit by Islamic extremist jihad. This was not broadcast, but available online if you looked [B]THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE INFORMATION THEY WERE LOOKING AT THEN, OR NOW, THAT JUSTIFIES THIS LINK TO THE GROUPS MENTIONED.  AS IF HATRED OF GOVERNMENT -- WHICH STATEMENTS LIKE THIS JUSTIFY -- IS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT POISONING: IT IS A SMEAR OUT OF HIS OWN MIND, AS IF OTHERS WOULD DO UNTO HIM WHAT HE WOULD DO FIRST.[/B]  In other words, a mind corrupted by Jewishness.  That is the speaker's unconscious fantasy:  Jews are poisoning the blood, like Hitler said, so neo-Nazi government haters are busy night and day poisoning them back first.  That is my deconstruction of what the speaker is communicating about himself, whether Jewish or not.

 As a mentality, this speaker's is pre-programmed by pattern to arrive at Oklahoma city.  Same mentality, following the same formula. As something of a recent convert to a form of "neo-Nazism", defined by myself, this brings me under the gun of their psychosis, if they chose to take aim.  Until then ...

[B]"The shift in the investigation echoes that which followed America's other infamous terrorist attack: the destruction of the federal government building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The bombing was initially thought to be the work of Arab extremists, but turned out to be the work of the Aryan supremacists." [/B]

No it didn't. That was the same line used to dump the anthrax. Knee jerk blame smear.

There are, however, according to David Hoffman's classic [I]The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror,[/I] numerous instances of Arab/Nazi collusion, from Hitler's "favorite commando" Otto "scarface" Skorzeny, who helped install Gamel Abdul Nasser as Egyptian president...to "One of Libya's primary beneficiaries, the Nation of Islam (NOI) whose leader, Louis Farrakahn, received $5 million dollars from Qaddafi...Farrakhan's predecessor, Elijah Muhammed, had formed a pact with the KKK and American Nazi Party in 1961. This unusual alliance stretched right uip to the present day. In the falal of 1992, WAR leader Tom Metzger appeared on the Whoopi Goldberg Show preaching the benefits of young blacks joining thie NOI. ..."Twenty five year DEA veteran Mike Levine described to me the unique connection between Nazi and Arab terrorists: "Years ago I was undercover in the AMerican Nazi party, and it was an odd mix of people that I ran into. FIrst of all, I'm, dark, and my undercover I.D. said I was Italian -- Mike Picano. But, what I fouind interesting was that members of the American Nazi party were Arabs, you know, and there were light-skinned Latinos. There were Arab members of the American Nazi Party going all the way ba;ck to l968 when I was a member.". ....to Mt. Elohim, where McVeigh roomed with "Brescia", a stout Iraqi that looked a lot like ther mock-uipof John Doe No 2, groping Strassmeier et al .. Hoffman is saying it looks like Arabs, who need revenge for the brutality of Gelf War I, paid neo-Nazi's to "run" McVeigh andf Nichols (who had met with Pakistani Youseff of the WTC I bombing, in the Philipines), and (enter Mossad), found a way to kill two or more birds with one stone by setting up patriotic militia and other legitimate political groups who would condemn wanton terrorism of the sort that, and the anthrax poisoning, illustrated. In the delusion, you can't be a National Socialist without being a monster. In any case, as everyone knows now, the Mid-East connection was totally suppressed. Judge Maasch never let Steven Jones present evidence of it, which was overwhelming, and relevant. A couple of disgruntled white guys obsessed with Waco did the massacre. (I don't think so.)

 What was suppressed, but keeps looming without getting attention, though it is surely connected, is the existence in southwest US of a Muslim/Arab enclave.

"Between 1992 and 1995 over 18,000 Iraq refugees and their families were resettled into the U.S. under a little-known program initiated by President Bush and followed up by Bill Clinton. These immigrants were part of a contingent of Iraqi refugees that flooded the Saudi border during and after the Gulf War, including many former Iraqi soldiers and deserters." Given that Saddam Hussein has sworn revenge ("Does the United States realize the meaning of opening the warhouses of ther world with the will of Iraqi people? Does it realize the meaning of every Iraqi becoming a missile that can cross to countries anbd cities?"), even the best surveillance of this group imaginable, if there weren't a bunch of genuinely suspicious characters doing suspicious things during that period, one could see the ensuing episodes as one in which massive complicity, up and down the line, connects these dots with G.B. Bush and the neocon's determination to attack Iraq. It is partly to continue the cover up of Bush I's CIA's horrible blunders, while making sure things turn out all right for Israel.
