[CIMC-work] UIC Bioweapons Story Reconsidered

[DickReilly at aol.com]

Sorry Garth.  Check the 4th indented paragraph down. Correct phrase was Realm 
of Chaos. 

Paragraph in question. 

Last March, the leader of the “Realm of Chaos,” an anarchist group from 
Wisconsin was arrested on the UIC campus in connection with multiple thefts on 
campus, and was found to be living in a steam tunnel under the Education, 
Communication and Social Work Building, and in possession of a quarter pound of 
cyanide powder which he stored in CTA cabinets in the Blue Line one block from the 
Federal Building. 

- My point here is that said group isn't an anarchist group...and never 
claimed be. It's unclear whether they were ever a group of any kind. But this story 
was put out by the CPD press folks when this kid was arrested, and picked up 
by the corporate press, eager for anything that could illustrate the threat of 
domestic terrorism.  

As for increased security, the Defense Department would probably agree that 
the only problem with UIC doing said research may be insufficent security. Beef 
up the security, militarize the department, and problem solved. The weapons 
research could continue unimpeded under the guise of finding a solution to the 
anthrax problem. Meanwhile, they're developing better and more treatment 
resistant bugs..which was at least I think, the central thrust of the article. Hope 
Rita reconsiders this. IMHO, this might work for corporate media as a hook, 
but could backfire as well.  - Dick
