@ Various

Sean - Nothing quite so grandiose, I'm afraid. You're taking bits of emails and such out of the context in which they were written, just as the FBI, with an assist from the media, is asking you to. The full contexts of the messages containing these select bits have been posted here and elsewhere. The full exchanges considerably alter the perception of much of what you called What we've got so far on Ivins:

pieceofcake - you're welcome to it. No copyright as it just sort of came out as I was contemplating the muddle. I play forward and fullback, mostly on the left side (though I shoot with either foot). Where are you when you're on the pitch? (I would have asked about "position" but that would have just given Jebbie more ammunition - see below)

Jebbie, you're misquoting me, you naughty boy! Taking lessons from the FBI, hmmm?

I said:

It's why I always try to score at least one goal per game.

During the game. Not after. What good does it do to kick balls once the last whistle's been blown? My post-game goals are none of your business. ;-}

Busy, busy during that short time I was away. It appears someone also left the mentalportal open....

He probably is one of those phony Kabbalist frauds

In 1998, Dr. Joseph Puleo, a major contributor to my copyrighted work, Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse (1999), presented me with his personal seminar syllabus alleged to contain solid evidence that chanting Hebrew letters caused a cymatic resonance affect on malleable materials reproducing the letters' characteristic structures.

Given Dr. Puleo's widely held esteem, and my awareness of Mr. Stanley Tenen's reputability, I simply assumed the reference, and document itself, was legitimate. That is, I believed this document had been reproduced from a legitimate research report issued by the referenced researchers Mr. Tenen and Mr. Winter. I recently learned differently.

In June, 2006, I was alerted by our mutual friend and colleague, Dr. Robin Falkov, that Mr. Tenen had been defrauded and seriously damaged by Mr. Winter. Mr. Winter's fraudulent misrepresentations, including the document Dr. Puleo had advanced to me as (allegedly) legitimate, were hoaxes intended to undermine Mr. Tenen's reputability within the scientific community.

As a result of this alert, I immediately contacted Mr. Tenen who relayed to me his legal complaint against Mr. Winter, along with a Court Injunction filed with the U.S. District Court of Western District New York at Rochester on April 8, 2002, condemning the use of Mr. Winter's misrepresentations, including this document. According to Mr. Tenen's complaint, and successful legal action, the alleged collaboration and alleged scientific determination of the Hebrew alphabet-cymatic-material affect was a fraudulent fabrication exclusively instigated by Mr. Winter to the damage Mr. Tenen's reputation.

Unfortunately, prior to learning of this ordeal, I had reprinted the condemned fabrication on page 69 of Walk on Water (2006); page 56 of the textbook DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral (2005); on page 117 of Healing Celebrations (2000, 2002); and further represented it as Mr. Tenen's legitimate work in many of my filmed presentations produced since 1999.

This being known, I personally apologize to Mr. Tenen and to those who, like me, were defrauded by Mr. Winter into believing that Hebrew letters spoken carry an energetic vibration capable of restructuring maleable materials according to the frequency of these vibrations.

It is very disappointing and highly disturbing to me to know that some people, even in the scientific community, cannot be trusted, and that I have played a role in disseminating false information in this regard to thousands of trusting persons.

This being stated, with truth having its way of surfacing, this appalling misrepresentation by Mr. Winter will not discourage me from further respecting and investigating the serious scientific studies conducted by Mr. Tenen over the past two decades in the realm of Hebrew alphabet metaphysics as discussed on Meru Foundation's website (http://www.meru.org)

I also pray that persons familiar with my lengthy list of meticulously referenced publications, and legitimate scientific contributions, will not be disuaded from advancing, as I have, along paths of sincere inquiry into the fascinating realm of mathematics and material metaphysics.

Very sincerely yours,

Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.

Listen friends

I,ve been pretty busy today and I just finally got a chance to turn on the box and check the news and such. I just got here Do I have to read all the comments again to day up to this point? Did I miss something which materially affects the case?

Oh crap, I'll start reading. Bye for a while, unless my eyeballs burst.

@-- Ennealogic

Please stop telling people that they shouldn't go look at anything by certain posters (e.g. Fanzone). But if you have anything to comment about the facts in the article I linked to, please post it. Hint: Read the article first. I'll put the link in my sig just for you, one more time.

Hey, bud. I never told you not to read and particular poster's comments. I will tell you that where Cargo Cult denigrated Ed Lake's work based on theoretical bias (Lake's theory conflicts with Cargo Cult's) no credible researcher in this field or out will do anything but smirk when you mention Dr. Horowitz.

Those are just the facts. Charlie Manson thought he was a prophet, too. Dr. Horowitz is just another LA con artist, like Charlie. He may fool the airheads in Hollywood, like Madonna, (That's not legit Kabbalah, honey and they sell water too, so does the Catholic Church) but if you want people to laugh at you, rather than with you, be my guest.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Did Ivins do it, and did he act alone if he did? In reviewing not only the media accounts of the FBI release and press conference and also the commentaries of those diligently flyspecking the “materials” as well as the generalized criticisms, I’m struck by a couple of things.

First, there does seem to be a bunch of individually circumstantial “evidence”, each item of which is subject to scrutiny and even criticism. I’m less impressed by the weight of the criticisms that “the FBI has screwed this kind of thing up before/ what took them so long (and the ironic converse, why did they rush to publicized their findings here)/ they’re only telling us what they want us to hear” than I am impressed by how, well, grasping I find some of the individualized criticisms/scrutinizes I am hearing.

That Ivins may have been something of a closet psycho – to use a term way loosely – does not seem as unlikely to me as it apparently seems to many. This guy was very smart and he chose to enter a profession working with scary, scary bio-shit, both developing it and developing “cures” to defend against it. The mindset there would have to be more than a little bit susceptible to pretty complex stresses and/or neuroses, since your whole existence is subject to isolation, secrecy and the pervasive presence of stuff that could kill you and lots of others, without even being seen. Delusions of grandeur? “The fools! All I’d have to do is spill one small vial in a WalMart…” “They could never understand the power and the importance of what I do…” And on a daily basis. So, yeah, might he snap? Isn’t it a little amazing that there aren’t more stories of guys like this snapping more often? Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove?

That others who knew him well think he would not be likely to do something like this? Well, if they all thought otherwise he would have been out of a job more than a little while back, no? Isn’t the “seemed like a nice guy neighbor interview” all too common after somebody gets arrested for a grisly crime? Not to say these people aren’t right in Irvins’ case, but does a friend or neighbor’s incredulity necessarily undercut other circumstantial evidence?

So while I certainly don’t rule out the possibilities surrounding “it wasn’t him”, let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that the FBI really thinks they’ve got the one and only guy. Where does that leave us if they’re correct? Believing that terrorists couldn’t pull this kind of thing off? Confident that US officials didn’t manipulate public opinion toward war based upon knowingly false characterizations of known facts or diversionary mis-direction and dilatory, motive-driven wild goose chases? Relieved to learn we are being protected throughout the chain of bio-weapons research and through competent police work? None of the above, it seems to me.

The arguably best thing I see in all of this is that the Bush Administration did not “rendish” this guy as a “citizen enemy combatant.” But I see no reason to be happy about that because I think it is far more likely the Bush Administration itself hasn’t given a rat’s ass about paying attention to the “anthrax problem” since they were told the source appeared domestic, they already had reaped all the mileage toward war with Iraq they needed and, what the heck, memories of anthrax only served to feed the fear frenzy that has been so adroitly manipulated to serve the Bush evisceration of our civil liberties and the Constitution. The Bush Administration has no actual use for a resolution to the anthrax attacks that doesn’t further a fear of Islamic Terror doctrine.

The vindication I really want to see now – even as the public analysis of the FBI’s media conviction of Ivins is continued – is the revelation of the real story of the Bush Administration’s use of the anthrax incident to fuel the Iraq war. The bentonite “link” (Ross’s haughty interview about this was appalling and cannot be allow to pass unnoticed), the numerous public references to Iraq (even McCain on Letterman at the time), tied into Suskind’s disclosures, Libby’s connection to bio-tech even as he and the White House lied about involvement in outing Plame, the list is too long to allow “continuing investigation” to be erected as a “can’t go there” bar to the anthrax situation.

And let’s impeach that bastard before the Pakistanis can impeach Musharref.
