Bioterrorist attack in Washington, D.C. at last UFPJ Rally

On September 24, six bioweapons air sensors around the Mall in Washington, D.C., registered positive for airborne traces of francisella tularensis, bacteria with flu-like symptoms that can be deadly if untreated. At the same time, 300,000 people were on the Mall protesting the Iraq war. So far as anyone can tell, nobody died. Was it a terrorist attack gone wrong, the government running some kind of test, or something else?

First, what we do know.

On Sep. 24, a large anti-war protest took place on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The march was organized by United for Peace and Justice, a group the FBI has previously placed under surveillance when it protested the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City.

That same day, and no other day before or since, six biohazard sensors around the Mall detected “low levels” of the tularemia bacteria.

The U.S. military keeps stockpiles of tularemia for use as a biological weapon.

It wasn’t until six days later that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning to U.S. doctors to be on the lookout for tularemia cases.

Tularemia exhibits flu-like symptoms and can be easily treated with antibiotics; however, it must be treated early. Wait too long, and about half of people who remain untreated die.

While the government says no cases of tularemia have been reported, people who were at the protest told Salon.com they were treated using antibiotics for flu-like symptoms. The flu is not treatable with antibiotics.

And to muddy the waters even further, this month the National Institutes for Health gave a $23 million grant to Cerus Corporation and the University of New Mexico for a tularemia vaccine.

So, what happened in D.C. that day? Was the tularemia “naturally occurring” as the government has said? Was the government trying to set up a fake terrorist attack? Or did terrorists really attack, and something went wrong?

Jason Siggel says there’s nothing to see here. Tularemia is, of course, naturally occurring, so this was obviously a complete fluke. It couldn’t have been a terrorist attack, unless the terrorists are utterly incompetent. Deliberately set by the government? Preposterous!

As I said, I don’t like conspiracy theories at all. I prefer facts and evidence. But I can’t dismiss the possibility that something unnatural happened here. Sure, tularemia is naturally occurring. But if it were around all the time, the sensors should be registering it all the time. Why only on that day and no other before or since? Why on so many widely dispersed sensors? Why were people with flu symptoms being treated with antibiotics?

There are still too many unanswered questions here, and I suspect we may not see the answers for them. As for me, I’m thinking it’s a good idea to wear a gas mask in the D.C. metro area.
