Not a thread about it, so I figured I'd throw it out there. I dunno- something just feels off about it for me, but I can't wrap my head around it. So I'll go through what I know and what I can perceive and maybe I'm just off my rocker, but, again, something just doesn't feel right.
Back in 2001, everyone is running around panicky after 9/11. However, what really magnified the panic was the quickly subsequent anthrax attacks via mail. It practically became "there's a terrorist (formerly "red/commie") around every corner" overnight.
There's a suspect, Steven Hatfill, who is thought of to be the anthrax guy for years, but it's not even widely publicized. But, he gets a settlement and exoneration in early 2008.
So, there's no real suspect that the public knows about until a couple of days ago when he kills himself. I realize we shouldn't be privy to investigations of these sorts, but a lot of this stuff leaks out, especially on something as high profile as this.
We have a doctor coming out talking about he's unstable as soon as the news broke about his suicide. Sounds like this would be normal except it also looks and feels like something out of a political smear. We've seen this exact playbook before, to the letter.
Now, out of the woodwork, there are all sorts of people talking about how they were told to start carrying around cipro prior to 9/11.
Again, something just doesn't smell right here but I can't at all put my finger on it. Maybe I need to put the tin foil hat away, but, man, it just doesn't seem right.
SI
