Award-Winning Bioterrorism Author Urges New FBI Investigation: Suggests Anthrax Mailings May Be Industrial Espionage

Sandpoint, ID — An award-winning public health authority and bioterrorism expert called on FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate the Bayer Corporation, and possibly the CIA, for clues linking recent anthrax mailings to possible industrial espionage. In an open letter to Mr. Mueller, members of Congress, and the media, the Harvard-trained public health investigator, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, urged the stymied bureau to consider overlooked intelligence upon which he was able to make a series of stunningly accurate bioterrorist predictions.

As posted on the Internet at http://www.prophecyandpreparedness.com/, Dr. Horowitz initially urged FBI officials to investigate the Bayer Corporation and the Food and Drug Administration for possible conflicts of interest concerning the anthrax antibiotic Cipro two weeks before the first anthrax letter was received by American Media, owner of the National Enquirer. The doctor’s concerns prompted the Washington Times to report the suspected “scam” in their nationally circulated Insight Magazine. (See http://insightmag.com/main.cfm?include=detail&storyid=138294). Dr. Horowitz reported that ABC News had been “wagging the dog for Cipro sales,” using fear and standard propaganda methods to increase Bayer profits. His prophetically titled book, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare (Tetrahedron, LLC, 2001; 1-888-508-4787), released months before 9-11, cited several examples of biological agents suspected of being used in recent years for profiteering by multinational corporations involved in industrial espionage. These include E coli 157, the West Nile virus, the foot and mouth disease microbe, and influenza viruses.  He also gave a six-month advanced warning that Larry Wayne Harris, a self-proclaimed CIA agent and microbiologist arrested for transporting anthrax spores to Las Vegas, would be used for the purpose of political propaganda.

Quoting from an interview published on December 30, 1997 in the weekly national newspaper CONTACT,  Dr. Horowitz responded to questions concerning anthrax bioterrorism, and medical preparations, including vaccinations by saying, “Look at the motive behind the persuasion . . . They’re preparing us for a biological holocaust and they’re going to blame it on the Muslims, Christian patriots, and militia groups. . . .”

In his letter to FBI Director Mueller, Dr. Horowitz wrote, “I sincerely hope that your agency will diligently attend to evidence that the Bayer Corporation and/or its directors/investors may be administratively and/or financially linked to the anthrax mailings. This historically untrustworthy company has been officially linked to holocaust atrocities and terrorist activities leading to WWII. At minimum, a clear possible motive for the mailings would be industrial espionage as Bayer has profited most, thus far, from these crimes.”

The author of the national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron, LLC Press, 1998; 1-800-336-9266) went on to summarize the FBI’s current view that the sophisticated nature of the mailed silica-mixed anthrax powder strongly suggests it originated from a state-run weapons program “like those in the United States in the 1960s,” Dr. Horowitz wrote. He noted that, according to the U.S. Congressional Record, the CIA had, thereafter, illegally stockpiled Bacillus anthracis, most likely supplied by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)—a non-governmental organization found to have supplied weapons grade anthrax to Sadam Hussein prior to the Gulf War. According to the New York Times, the silica-mixed anthrax is believed to have originated in a laboratory with expensive equipment and at least one well-trained microbiologist.  

“This suggests ‘white-collar bioterrorism’ and the possibility that ATCC may have shipped anthrax to the Bayer Company (or affiliated CIA) officials for Cipro or other experiments in which ‘expensive’ technology was brought to bear on the creation of such a ‘weaponized’ form of anthrax powder,” Dr. Horowitz said.

Linking the German-based company to the holocaust, as well as the CIA, Dr. Horowitz urged the FBI director to recall the fact that the CIA (currently overseeing public health and infectious disease departments for national security reasons) took over the I.G. Farben/Bayer building at the close of WWII as they helped many Nazi scientists and wealthy German industrialists escape to America and elsewhere during Project Paperclip. Hermann Schmitz, Bayer’s president at the time, and overseer of Farben controlled labor camps, was only sentenced to four years of imprisonment at his Nuremberg trial. The company emerged from the holocaust virtually unscathed. 

Urging Mr. Mueller to personally reply to his request, Dr. Horowitz concluded his letter by admitting that his life may be at risk for advancing such politically incorrect possibilities. “I am willing to sacrifice my life for God and truth in defense of the American people, especially in efforts to avert massive killings that may accrue from overlooked biological and chemical threats; even if these threats include elements within our own cryptocracy,” he wrote. “Shouldn’t we, the People of the United States, expect the same from you, our highest ranking FBI official?”
