Sen. Leahy Raises Specter of Bioterrorism in West Nile Virus Outbreak: Leading Authority Warns of "White-Collar" Corporate Involvement

Sandpoint, ID -Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has called for an investigation into the possibility that recent West Nile Virus outbreaks were initiated by bioterrorists. Suspects include Iraqi terrorists who apparently received their initial stocks of the West Nile Virus from the United States, according to
public health officials, as recorded in the Congressional Record.

Among the experts who provided Congressional testimony supporting Sen. Leahy's concerns is Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard graduate and independent investigator whose thirteenth book, "Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare," predated the 9-11 attacks by three months. The book focuses on the West Nile Virus as part of a
biological weapons arsenal shipped to Iraq during the 1980s.

Dr. Horowitz provided oral and lengthy written testimony during to the Government Reform Committee on April 18 of this year regarding evidence he compiled showing that vaccine makers for the West Nile Virus and anthrax were suspects in the outbreaks and mailings. Supportive evidence included records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, submitted to Congress, showing that a pharmaceutical industry and bioweapons supplier-the American Type Culture Collection in Maryland-shipped Iraqi laboratories more than nineteen shipments of anthrax and two containers of the West Nile Virus, during the 1980s. 
Dr. Horowitz believes that the recent outbreaks and anthrax mailings, including the ones to Senators Leahy and Majority Leader Tom Dashle, are part of a "wag-the-dog, fear-rousing, bioterrorist agenda, that includes manipulating a largely neive media, to solely benefit a consortium of mostly foreign-owned vaccine, drug, and chemical companies historically linked to such activities."

"An excellent example," Dr. Horowitz continued, "is the Michigan-based Bioport company. This infamous producer of America's anthrax vaccine, vigorously sanctioned in the past by Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their untrustworthyness, is directed by a wealthy Saudi industrialist with purported ties to the bin Laden family
or their investments." Bioport's operating plans were discovered by American forces when they took control of an Osama bin Laden encampment in Afghanistan.

News reports about West Nile Virus (WNV) spreading across America have also missed obvious links to the global biological weapons trade.  Dr. Horowitz, who urgently alerted the FBI concerning what he viewed was a "developing anthrax mailings scam" a week before it was announced in 
the press, shared views supportive to Senator Leahy's during an nationally televised interview on FOX News last month (See August 23rd segment at http://www.healingcelebrations.com/wes ). During a meeting with Senator Daschle's staff on April 17, and again the following day before the Government Reform Committee chaired by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), Dr. Horowitz alerted officials regarding a possible profit motive for recent epidemics, outbreaks, and anthrax attacks. His written testimony (Available at:
http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/vaccine_awareness/antecendents_epidemic_autism.html )  reflected on Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy Thompson's unprecedented half-billion dollars worth of anthrax and smallpox vaccine purchases, made shortly after the 
anthrax mailings. Dr. Horowitz noted with suspicion that these exact purchases fulfilled the request made by the chief anthrax vaccine developer at Bioport, Dr. Robert C. Myers, as entered into the Congressional Record in 1999.  The mailings, he believes, provided the perfect "wag-the-dog" impetus for the government expenditures.
 
Contrary to media reports, Senator Leahy referred to an October 1999 issue of The New Yorker that disclosed that the West Nile Virus arrived in New York (other reports specify Rockefeller University labs) closely following the germ's isolation in 1937. It was shipped to New York by virologists working in northwest Uganda-precisely where the Ebola virus, known to be the world's best biological weapon, is believed to have originated. The American news
media have repeatedly claimed, incorrectly, that the virus arrived in north America in 1999.

The area of central Africa where the West Nile Virus originated is also known as the "heart of the African AIDS belt." Classified government documents unearthed by Dr. Horowitz during a three year investigation, along with 
eyewitness testimonies published by the doctor, evidence this area's use in American military medical experiments from the 1950s through the 1970s. This research, he 
believes, is linked to the origin of HIV/AIDS according to a scientific report published in the May 2001 issue of the esteemed journal of Medical Hypothesis. The paper summarized the evidence compiled by Dr. Horowitz for his national best-selling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola-Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron, 1998; 1-888-508-4787).

The man-made origin of AIDS theory was recently investigated, and rebuked, by the Congress' investigating arm, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO). Dr. Horowitz was among a handful of experts interviewed by GAO officials during their inquiry into the possibility that HIV, or 
its precursor, was constructed by biological weapons contractors during a "Special Virus Cancer Program" beginning in the 1960s. Their brief report of expert testimonies, including his, dramatically differed from
his recorded statements. He plans to file a legal complaint later this year.

Likewise concerned about the official suppression of truth in this area, Senator Leahy's office released excerpts from previous news and congressional committee reports saying public health officials had too hastily downplayed the possibility the spreading West Nile virus, like the anthrax mailings, might be the work of bioterrorists. The Judiciary
Committee Chairman countered by saying, "In the times in which we live, questions about our vulnerabilities are unavoidable, and finding all the answers we can is more important than ever." Leahy concluded, ``I have no way of knowing what the answers are, but some legitimate questions
have been asked, especially before September 11 last year, and no doubt they are being asked anew by the agencies that are working on this.'' 

In The New Yorker article Sen. Leahy referred to, a book by an alleged Iraqi defector, was discussed. The author suggested Saddam Hussein might have developed the ATCC supplied West Nile Virus to use as a biological weapon against the United States. The article also cited the work of a Russian defector and anthrax expert, Dr. Ken Alibek, who independent investigators, including Dr. Horowitz, have urged the FBI to interrogate regarding his possible complicity in the anthrax mailings. Besides being a contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Battelle Memorial Institute, and Hadron Advanced Biosystems-a bioweapons defense contractor, Dr. Alibekov (his real name) does sophisticated anthrax work. All three entities maintain close industry ties to Bioport, and according to national news reports, the CIA and Battelle have been 
under suspicion in the anthrax mailings. Dr. Alibek, now President of Hadron, oversees millions of dollars in bioweapons defense and pharmaceutical industry contracts, including an $800,000 federal grant to develop anthrax protection technology. The grant was awarded at the precise 
time the anthrax letters were being mailed to Senators Leahy and Daschle. Both Democratic majority leaders are staunch critics of the pharmaceutical and defense industries. 

Among the committee investigations Leahy criticized was that issued by the Republican minority staff of the Senate Government Affairs Committee in July 2000. It said ``law enforcement, public health, and intelligence officials have investigated the possibility that West Nile virus resulted from a bioterrorist attack but believe that this is very
unlikely.''

"'Very unlikely'? Hogwash!" Dr. Horowitz returned. "This possibility best explains the mountain of advancing evidence in both the anthrax mailings and sudden emergence of the West Nile Virus." The award winning public health authority believes Senator Leahy's concerns are extremely
valid and politically urgent. "I applaud the senator for working to protect the public's health, not lull legislators and people to sleep with baseless assertions that deflect critical analysis away from where it should be-on the military-pharmaceutical complex that supplied Saddam Hussein with his bioweapons. Furthermore, I'd hate to see this urgent matter distorted as a call to arms against Iraq--precisely what the Bush administration intends, despite obvious risks to the global community."
