June 2001 Bioterror Exercise Foreshadowed 9/11 and Anthrax Attacks

George Washington's picture




 

On June 22-23, 2001 - some 3 months before 9/11, and 4 months before the Anthrax attacks - the U.S. military held a senior-level war game at Andrews Air Force Base called Dark Winter.

The scenario of this bio-terrorism drill was designed to simulate a smallpox attack in three states. Numerous congressmen, former CIA director James Woolsey, New York Times reporter Judith Miller (who pushed the Iraq WMD myth, as well as the false link between Iraq and the Anthrax attacks), and anti-terror official Jerome Hauer all participated in the exercise.

As a part of this war game, scripted TV news clips were made to help make this drill as realistic as possible.

At the end of one of these clips, the reporter says:

Iraq might have provided the technology behind the attacks to terrorist groups based in Afghanistan.

Why is this interesting?

Because U.S. officials intentionally linked Iraq to Al Qaeda and 9/11 to justify the Iraq war, even though they knew there was no such connection. (The claim that Iraq is linked to 9/11 has since been debunked by the 9/11 Commission, top government officials, and even – long after they alleged such a link – Bush and Cheney themselves.)

Indeed, Dark Winter articipant Woolsey - the former CIA director - swore in court testimony that Saddam Hussein was connected to 9/11.

Similarly, the government tried to falsely blame the anthrax attacks on Iraq as a justification for war:

When Congress was originally asked to pass the Patriot Act in late 2001, the anthrax attacks which occurred only weeks earlier were falsely blamed on spooky Arabs as a way to scare Congress members into approving the bill. Specifically:

And see this.

Dark Winter participants Judith Miller - the New York Times reporter who had long hyped bioterror threats through books and articles - and CIA head Woolsey were two of the loudest voices blaming the Anthrax attacks on Iraq.

Woolsey was an outspoken proponent of war against Iraq even before 9/11.

Moreover, the parallels between the Dark Winter exercise and the Anthrax attacks are numerous. For example, in the Dark Winter exercise:

  • Anonymous letters are sent to the media
  • Anonymous letters threatened anthrax attacks on the United States
  • Iraq and Bin Laden are key suspects

Remember, neoconservatives planned regime change in Iraq (and the U.S. had already carried out regime change in Iraq in the early 1960s).

It has been extensively documented that the White House decided to invade Iraq before 9/11:

Yes, the irony is deep, the centrally planned community is spreading and you can follow us on Twitter @ #SubsidizedAliensWithEbola.

What?

No one wants to see or talk about this centrally planned danger to society because its controlled with an iron fist (within a velvet glove) and gives you all the warm & fuzzies huh?

Just think of it like a Ebola-Anthrax Litmus Test or sumpin ;-)

"Healthy community" when referring to the Vickery Meadow area of Dallas means reducing the number of injuries from gun shots and stabbings.

Ah yes, the nuance of language, you are correct ;-)

But like ebola, those instances of crime are "spreading", like to Lake Highland Estates which (oddly enough) is right next to Vickery Meadows...

"Fox 4 reported a “crime spree” in Lake Highlands after a family in Lake Highlands Estates was robbed at gunpoint the day after Christmas. Two other homes reportedly were burglarized during the day, which isn’t exactly out of the ordinary, unfortunately. The driveway robbery is extraordinary. The news reporters say the highly publicized case last year of a serial rapist, on which we reported extensively, in some ways brought the neighborhood closer and made us stronger and more proactive when it comes to crime. It is true that each crime we hear about, big or petty, tends to boost awareness. That’s why we regularly post police reports."

Click for more "healthy living"...lol... http://lakehighlands.advocatemag.com/2014/01/crime-reports-near-fatal-shooting-residential-driveway-robbery-burglar-thwarted-alarm/

That is creepy as all hell, and I am not just talking about the big lady in the picture.

Yes, that is creepy.

And I fully expect the term “healthy community” to be disappeared down the rabbit hole of the intertubes by weeks end at the very latest, so future visitors will never see it and they can say it was never there and have a legitimate argument over its very existence.

Thats why (and this is only a small example) many have taken to screen capture caching. Afterall, the first US death from ebola is "A big fucking deal man!"

For posterity ;-)

I think "Geo. Washington" is a psuedonym for Alex Jones.

Wait, but isn't current Alex Jones really Bill Hicks ... and wasn't the original Alex Jones disappeared?

It is interesting to see how over time Infowars, ZH and other semi-influencial sites (that target different segments of society) have morphed, what they will touch and what they will not touch... especially Jones.

While, I like reading George's content, I am sometimes mystified by his sourcing of information. It is a lot of work for one person with a blog.
