"Dr. Anthrax" Video: Kuwaiti Professor Calls for Terrorist Anthrax Attacks on the United States. How? Our Porous Southern Border.

This video deserves wide distribution. I am posting it in my site's free section.

Please watch at least the first 90 seconds.

The speaker, a Kuwaiti professor, was quite open about what he thinks is technically feasible and morally obligatory. His audience agreed with him, as you will hear.

For a transcript, see the link beneath the video.

The anthrax threat is very real. I wrote about this in 2001 a few days after 9-11. The article is here.

When Dr. Arthur Robinson, a biochemist, and I wrote our book-long tract favoring a national civil defense shelter system, Fighting Chance (1986), we had in mind biological weapons as well as nuclear. This nation's civilian population has never been considered worth protecting. To do so would be opposed to MAD [Mutual Assured Destruction].
When researching the topic of civil defense at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories, Robinson met the long-time director of the civil defense research program, Conrad Chester. Robinson used this library extensively. (The U.S. government ordered this library destroyed after Chester retired.)
After his retirement, Chester stayed in contact with Robinson. Chester once wrote a paper for a group that Robinson is associated with, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. It went into detail about how a small terrorist group could use home-brew anthrax to kill at least 90% of the population of New York City, or any major city, 24 hours after they released it into the atmosphere, i.e., 12 hours after they had fled the country. Robinson persuaded him not to go into the details, merely use his authority to persuade the audience. Chester complied -- wisely, I think. (Chester later died of natural causes.)
Robinson tells me that any skilled Ph.D in biology could do what Chester described, using used equipment that costs $25,000. New, it would cost $250,000. All he would need in addition to the equipment is a year's time and a pair of M.A.-level graduate students in biology.

If there is a reliable defense against this, I have not read about it. I have been looking for a discussion of such a defense for over two decades.

What would you do in the first hour after reports of such an attack hit the media? Do you have a plan of action? Probably not. I suggest that you develop one.

What would you do on day two? The number of possibilities would be reduced. The country would be under martial law.

What would your lifestyle be like one week after a second attack? One month? One year?

We don't like to think about such things, but Dr. Anthrax has thought about them. I doubt that he is the only man in the Middle East who has.

If you trust the Federal government to protect you, you have more faith in the Federal government than I do.
