THIS IS NOT A DRILL
-
ANTHRAX ATTACK MAY BE REAL -
TAKE CAUTIONS
This is sections of another message that I recieved off
the net with my comments interspersed. As a general rule for this style
of commentary, the message that I am commenting on will be in this
typeface and my comments will be in the typeface you are
reading now.
This is not a drill
and it certainly is not a joke. About a week ago, I began getting reports
about a possible germ warfare attack. The volume of information has grown
to an avalanche as more and more information comes in. I have not had time
to post this information to my site
The
American Resistance Movement
However, the early information
was posted by Jeff Head on his "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" home
page. Here is the link:
Biological
Terror
I
know that Mr. Harris has been promulgating the information in question
for quite some time. The first time I heard Mr. Harris he was being interviewed
by John Statmiller and Mark Koernke on their shortwave radio talk show,
"The Intelligence Report" on September 30, 1996. While Mr. Harris was a
guest on their show several times in the weeks that followed, they haven't
mentioned him at all that I can think of for several months now. I don't
know whether that's because they feel they have already covered the situation
well enough, or because they have decided that Mr. Harris may not have
been as good a source as they thought he was initially.
I can say that one of my contacts is an individual who
had been working in Jeff Baker's "Amerinet" shortwave radio broadcasting
network. That person came to have serious doubts about the credibility
of some of Harris' information after dealing with him over time. I recall
that on at least one instance, Harris phoned into a shortwave radio talk
show hosted by Steve Cuelho (spelling?) with a tale that one of the bigger
cities in Kansas had suffered an attack by bioweapons. Later information
from other sources demonstrated that to be false, and mainstream media
ended up running articles decrying Cuelho as a rumor spreader.
Having received an overload
of information and trying to get it out quickly, here is what is currently
known (to the best of my knowledge):
LARRY WAYNE HARRIS:
He has been a figure in a lot of this so let me start with him. He was
a former member of the CIA and a registered microbiologist (despite disinformation
claiming that he is only a septic tank inspector. He does have his own
lab (despite disinformation to the contrary). He is considered one of the
top experts on biological warfare. He has written a book entitled Bacteriological
Warfare: A Major Threat To America. This book is scheduled to come out
in a couple of weeks -- after the scheduled attack. Advance promotion will
start next week. I told him that he had really bad timing and that if the
attack were next week, the book would never make it to the bookstores.
He said that it was God's will. He also stated that the book was essentially
a Civil Defense manual and that he did not anticipate making money on it
and has given advance copies to missionaries, etc..
This book has actually been out for quite some time. The initial print
runs were, and probably still are, available through Jeff Baker's "Amerinet"
shorwtave radio broadcasting network. If I recall, the asking price is
somewhere around $20.00. In addition, there is a condensed version of it
that can be downloaded from the following website:
http://www.greenapple.com/~ricfinke/civil.htm
At least part of the book is devoted to a discussion of various different
antibiotics that one could take and recommended dosages to deal with exposure
to certain biowarfare agents. The dosages that have been recommended by
Harris are controversial. Information provided by the Militia of Montana
suggests that Harris' dosage information could lead to people having problems
by "overdosing" with the antibiotics in question. However, a good friend
of mine who is a Doctor has commented to me several times that, "it's almost
impossible to overdose on antibiotics." I honestly don't know what the
truth of the matter is, but highly recommend that people research the matter
to the best of their ability before simply scarfing down large quantities
of any drug.
As far as I know, he
has no direct financial involvement in this matter (the book may never
be sold!). I spoke with him for about an hour and we exchanged a lot of
information by fax. He never once told me of ANYTHING I could buy from
him. He was extremely straightforward. I asked him specific questions and
got specific answers. Here is some information he shared:
I can state explicitly that the book is
or at least was for sale through Jeff Baker's "Amerinet" shortwave
radio broadcasting network. I have heard it advertised on their network,
my friend who used to work there was able to give me the details of the
contract between Harris and Baker over who got which chunk of the purchase
price of the book, other friends of mine purchased the book and I have
held copies of it in my hot little hands. Harris specifically does
have a direct financial involvement in the sale of his book through Amerinet.
Now, whether or not that means he'll actually be able to net much
out of the deal is another question entirely (his share of the pie is rather
small), but to say that he has no financial involvement is false.
The U.S. Government sold
Iran enough biological agents to kill everyone in the WORLD ten
times over in the 1980's. Then we double-crossed them and they swore revenge
on us.
The version that I heard given by Harris initially back in September
of last year was fingering Iraq and not Iran as the bad guy in the picture.
However, that could also be a typo on the part of the person who uploaded
the initial message.
The Pentagon sees germ
warfare attack as a real threat. Since the first of the year, they have
been inoculating military personnel. He also told me that the military
was on a state of high alert.
I have independent confirmation of a concern by the military
about biowarfare in general, and have heard mention of inoculations. I
don't have any good information about the current alert status of the military.
I have heard Mr. Harris on the air and can say that he
sounds reasonable and knowledgeable. The information he provides is certainly
alarming enough. Also, when one looks at the course of action that one
should take to deal with the problem on their own level, it comes down
to simply increasing one's level of preparedness by obtaining some good,
broad spectrum antibiotics and possibly some gas masks or at least surgeon's
type masks. So it's not like one has to radically alter their total lifestyle
to deal with the problem. However, I have also seen a variety of various
disinformation scares run through the patriot community before. I have
some reservations about Mr. Harris because there is information that he
has provided that has not always checked out that well. Certainly, if the
person who typed the original message in and uploaded it to the net gave
an accurate account of what Harris told him about the book, then it looks
like Harris deliberately lied about his book's availability. Why would
Harris do such a thing? Possibly to make the information that Harris was
providing that person look even more important and time critical than it
arguably was. Thus ensuring it would be spread farther and faster with
less time spent reviewing and analyzing it.
So, I can't say that there won't
be a biowarfare attack of some type taking place. Harris' story may
in fact be more than "close enough for government work". But I can say
that I don't feel reassured by the techniques I have seen employed by Harris
to spread the information around. That's the part that feels more like
some type of disinformation ploy than an honest attempt to get a critical
word out.
