[ED. NOTE: As FTW has begun to investigate serious discussions by legitimate scientists and academics on the possible necessity of reducing the world's
population by more than four billion people, no stranger set of circumstances since Sept. 11 adds credibility to this possibility than the suspicious deaths of
what may be as many as 14 world-class microbiologists. Following on the heels of our two-part series on the coming world oil crisis, this story by Michael
Davidson, a graduate of the Syracuse University School of Journalism, is one which takes on a unique significance. In our original story we incorrectly
reported the original date of disappearance of Don Wiley and two other microbiologists. These errors have been corrected and we have updated the story to
include new deaths that have occurred since we published an earlier version on Feb. 14. The newest connections to DynCorp, Hadron and PROMIS software
are leads an amateur would not miss. How else would any microbiologists threatening an ultra secret government biological weapons program be identified
than by secretly scanning their databases to see what they were working on? -- MCR]

----------------------

FTW -- Feb. 28, 2002 -- In the four-month period from Nov. 12 through Feb. 11, seven world-class microbiologists in different parts of the world were
reported dead. Six died of "unnatural" causes, while the cause of the seventh's death is questionable. Also on Nov. 12, DynCorp, a major government
contractor for data processing, military operations and intelligence work, was awarded a $322 million contract to develop, produce and store vaccines for the
Department of Defense. DynCorp and Hadron, both defense contractors connected to classified research programs on communicable diseases, have also been
linked to a software program known as PROMIS, which may have helped identify and target the victims.

In the six weeks prior to Nov. 12, two additional foreign microbiologists were reported dead. Some believe there were as many as five more microbiologists
killed during the period, bringing the total as high as 14. These two to seven additional deaths, however, are not the focus of this story. This same period also
saw the deaths of three persons involved in medical research or public health.

- On Nov. 12, Benito Que, 52, was found comatose in the street near the laboratory where he worked at the University of Miami Medical School. He died on
Dec. 6.

- On Nov. 16, Don C. Wiley, 57, vanished, and his abandoned rental car was found on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, Tenn. His body was
found on Dec. 20.

- On Nov. 23, Vladimir Pasechnik, 64, was found dead in Wiltshire, England, not far from his home.

- On Dec. 10, Robert Schwartz, 57, was found murdered in his rural home in Loudoun County, Va.

- On Dec, 11, Set Van Nguyen, 44, was found dead in the airlock entrance to a walk-in refrigerator in the laboratory where he worked in Victoria State,
Australia.

- On Feb. 8, Vladimir Korshunov, 56, was found dead on a Moscow street.

- And on Feb. 11, Ian Langford, 40, was found dead in his home in Norwich, England.

OOPS!

Prior to these deaths, on Oct. 4, a commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an "errant" Ukrainian
surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course. Despite early news stories reporting it as a charter, the flight, Air Sibir
1812, was a regularly scheduled flight.

According to several press reports, including a Dec. 5 article by Barry Chamish and one on Jan. 13 by Jim Rarey (both available at www.rense.com), the plane
is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge
microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 research facilities and 13 full universities for a
population of only 2.5 million people.

At the time of the Black Sea crash, Israeli journalists had been sounding the alarm that two Israeli microbiologists had been recently murdered, allegedly by
terrorists. On Nov. 24 a Swissair flight from Berlin to Zurich crashed on its landing approach. Of the 33 persons on board, 24 were killed, including the head
of the hematology department at Israel's Ichilov Hospital, as well as directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department and Hebrew University School of
Medicine. They were the only Israelis on the flight. The names of those killed, as reported in a subsequent Israeli news story but not matched to their job titles,
were Avishai Berkman, Amiramp Eldor and Yaacov Matzner.

Besides all being microbiologists, six of the seven scientists who died within weeks of each other died from "unnatural" causes. And four of the seven were
doing virtually identical research -- research that has global, political and financial significance.

QUE PASA?

The public relations office at the University of Miami Medical School said only that Benito Que was a cell biologist, involved in oncology research in the
hematology department. This research relies heavily on DNA sequencing studies. The circumstances of his death raise more questions than they answer.

Que had left his job at a research laboratory at the University of Miami Medical School, apparently heading for his Ford Explorer parked on NW 10th Avenue.
The Miami Herald, referring to the death as an "incident," reported he had no wallet on him, and quoted Miami police as saying his death may have been the
result of a mugging. Police made this statement while at the same time saying there was a lack of visible trauma to Que's body. There is firm belief among
Que's friends and family that the PhD was attacked by four men, at least one of whom had a baseball bat. Que's death has now been officially ruled "natural,"
caused by cardiac arrest. Both the Dade County medical examiner and the Miami Police would not comment on the case, saying only that it is closed.

A MEMPHIS MYSTERY

Don C. Wiley of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard University, was one of the most prominent microbiologists in the world. He had won many
of the field's most prestigious awards, including the 1995 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for work that could make anti-viral vaccines a reality.
He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing. Wiley was last seen around midnight on Nov. 15, leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research
Advisory dinner held at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication, and no one has
admitted to drinking with him.

His rented Mitsubishi Galant was found about four hours later, abandoned on a bridge across the Mississippi River, headed towards Arkansas. Keys were in
the ignition, the gas tank full, and the hazard flashers had not been turned on. Wiley's body was found on Dec. 20, snagged on a tree along the Mississippi
River in Vidalia, La., 300 miles south of Memphis. Until his body was found, Dr. Wiley's death was handled as a missing person case, and police did no
forensic examinations.

Early reports about Wiley's disappearance made no mention of paint marks on his car or a missing hubcap, which turned up in subsequent reports. The type of
accident needed to knock off the hubcaps (actually a complete wheel cover) used on recent model Galants would have caused noticeable damage to the sheet
metal on either side of the wheel, and probably the wheel itself. No damage to the car s body or wheel has been reported.

Wiley's car was found about a five-minute drive from the hotel where he was last seen. There is a four-hour period in his evening that cannot be accounted for.
There is also no explanation as to why he would have been headed into Arkansas late at night. Wiley was staying at his father's home in Memphis.

The Hernando de Soto Bridge carries Interstate 40 out of Memphis, across the Mississippi River into Arkansas. The traffic on the bridge was reduced to a
single lane in each direction. This would have caused westbound traffic out of Memphis to slow down and travel in one lane. Anything in the other two closed
lanes would have been plainly obvious to every passing person. There are no known witnesses to Wiley stopping his car on the bridge.

On Jan. 14, almost two months after his disappearance, Shelby County Medical Examiner O.C. Smith announced that his department had ruled Wiley s death
to be "accidental;" the result of massive injuries suffered in a fall from the Hernando de Soto Bridge. Smith said there were paint marks on Wiley's rental car
similar to the paint used on construction signs on the bridge, and that the car's right front hubcap was missing. There has been no report as to which
construction signs Wiley hit. There is also no explanation as to why this evidence did not move the Memphis police to consider possibilities other than a
"missing person."

Smith theorizes that Wiley pulled over to the outermost lane of the bridge (that lane being closed at the time) to inspect the damage to his car. Smith's
subsequent explanation for the fall requires several other things to have occurred simultaneously:

- Wiley had to have had one of the two or three seizures he has per year due to a rare disorder known only to family and close friends, that seizure being
brought on by use of alcohol earlier that evening;

- A passing truck creating a huge blast of wind and/or roadway bounce due to heavy traffic; and,

- Wiley had to be standing on the curb next to the guardrail which, because of Wiley's 6-foot-3-inch height, would have come only to his mid-thigh.

These conditions would have put Wiley's center of gravity above the rail, and the seizure would have caused him to lose his balance as the truck created the
bounce and blast of wind, thus causing him to fall off the bridge.

SCIENCE IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD?

Robert M. Schwartz was a founding member of the Virginia Biotechnology Association, and the Executive Director of Research and Development at
Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology. He was extremely well respected in biophysics, and regarded as an authority on DNA sequencing.

Co-workers became concerned when he didn't show up at his office on Dec. 10. He was later found dead at his home. Loudoun County Sheriff's officials said
Schwartz was stabbed on Dec. 8 with a sword, and had an "X" cut into the back of his neck.

Schwartz's daughter Clara, 19, and three others have been charged in the case. The four are said to have a fascination with fantasy worlds, witchcraft, and the
occult. Kyle Hulbert, 18, who allegedly committed the murder, has a history of mental illness, and is reported by the Washington Post to have killed Schwartz
to prevent the murder of Clara. At the request of Clara Schwartz's attorneys, on Feb. 13 Judge Pamela Grizzle ordered all new evidence introduced about her
role in the case to be sealed. She also issued a temporary gag order covering the entire case on police, prosecutors and defense attorneys.

BREATHE DEEPLY, AND CARRY A BIG STICK

Set Van Nguyen was found dead on Dec. 11 at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization's animal diseases facility in Geelong,
Australia. He had worked there 15 years. According to an article on www.rense.com by Ian Gurney, in Jan. 20001 the magazine Nature published information
that two scientists at this facility, using genetic manipulation and DNA sequencing, had created an incredibly virulent form of mousepox, a cousin of smallpox.
The researchers were extremely concerned that if similar manipulation could be done to smallpox, a terrifying weapon could be unleashed.

According to Victoria Police, Nguyen died after entering a refrigerated storage facility. "He did not know the room was full of deadly gas which had leaked
from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Unable to breathe, Mr. Nguyen collapsed and died," is the official report.

Nitrogen is not a "deadly" gas, and is a part of air. An extreme over-abundance of nitrogen in one's immediate atmosphere would cause shortness of breath,
lightheadedness, and fatigue -- conditions a biologist would certainly recognize. Additionally, a leak sufficient to fill the room with nitrogen would set off
alerts, and would be so massive as to cause a complete loss of cooling, causing the temperature to rise, which would also set off alerts these systems are
routinely equipped with.

A RUSSIAN, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE AND OLD CORPSES

In 1989, Vladimir Pasechnik defected from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) to Great Britain while on a trip to Paris. He had been the top scientist in the FSU's
bioweapons program, which is heavily dependent upon DNA sequencing. Pasechnik's death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred on Nov.
23.

The Times obituary indicated that the announcement of Pasechnik's death was made in the United States by Dr. Christopher Davis of Virginia, who stated that
the cause of death was a stroke. Davis was the member of British intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time of his defection. Davis says he left the
intelligence service in 1996, but when asked why a former member of British intelligence would be the person announcing the death of Pasechnik to the US
media, he replied that it had come about during a conversation with a reporter he had had a long relationship with. The reporter Davis named is not the author
of the Times' obituary, and Davis declined to say which branch of British intelligence he served in. No reports of Pasechnik's death appeared in Britain for
more than a month, until Dec. 29, when his obituary appeared in the London Telegraph, which did not include a date of death.

Pasechnik spent the 10 years after his defection working at the Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research at the UK Department of Health, Salisbury. On
Feb. 20, 2000, it was announced that, along with partner Caisey Harlingten, Pasechnik had formed a company called Regma Biotechnologies Ltd. Regma
describes itself as "a new drug company working to provide powerful alternatives to antibiotics." Like three other microbiologists detailed in this article,
Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research. During the anthrax panic of this past fall, Pasechnik offered his services to the British
government to help in any way possible. Despite Regma having a public relations department that has released many items to the press over the past two years,
the company has not announced the death of one of its two founders.

FEBRUARY, BLOODY FEBRUARY

On Feb. 9 the news publication Pravda.ru reported that Victor Korshunov had been killed. At the time, Korshunov was head of the microbiology sub-facility at
the Russian State Medical University. He was found dead in the entrance to his home with a cranial injury. Pravda reports that Korshunov had probably
invented either a vaccine to protect against biological weapons, or a weapon itself.

On Feb. 12 a newspaper in Norwich, England reported the previous day's death of Ian Langford, a senior researcher at the University of East Anglia. The story
went on to say that police "were not treating the death as suspicious." The next day, Britain's The Times reported that Langford was found wedged under a
chair "at his blood-spattered and apparently ransacked home."

The February 12 story, from the Eastern Daily Press, reports that clerks at a store near Langford's home claim he came in on a daily basis to buy "a big bottle of
vodka." Two of the store's staff also claim Langford had come into the store a few days earlier wearing "just a jumper and a pair of shoes." None of the store's
staff would give their name.

It is hard to understand how a man can reach the highest levels of achievement in a scientific field while drinking "a big bottle of vodka" on a daily basis, and
strolling around his hometown nearly nude. A Feb. 14 follow-up story from the Eastern Daily Press says police believe Langford died after suffering "one or
more falls." They say this would account for his head injuries and large amount of blood found at the death scene.

THE HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INSTITUTE -- ANOTHER LINK?

There is another intriguing connection between three of the five American scientists that have died. Wiley, Schwartz, and Benito Que worked for medical
research facilities that received grants from Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). HHMI funds a tremendous number of research programs at schools,
hospitals and research facilities, and has long been alleged to be conducting "black ops" biomedical research for intelligence organizations, including the CIA.

Long-time biowarfare investigator Patricia Dole, Ph.D. reports that there is a history of people connected to HHMI being murdered. In 1994, Jose Trias met
with a friend in Houston, Texas and was planning to go public with his personal knowledge of HHMI "front door" grants being diverted to "back door" black
ops bioresearch. The next day, Trias and his wife were found dead in their Chevy Chase, Md. home. Chevy Chase is where HHMI is headquartered. Police
described the killings as a professional hit. Tsunao Saitoh, who formerly worked at an HHMI-funded lab at Columbia University, was shot to death on May 7,
1996 while sitting in his car outside his home in La Jolla, Calif. Police also described this as a professional hit.

BEYOND THE BIZARRE

Early-October saw reports that British scientists were planning to exhume the bodies of 10 London victims of the 1918 type-A flu epidemic known as the
Spanish Flu. An October 7 report In The Independent, UK said that victims of the Spanish Flu had been victims of "the world's most deadly virus." British
scientists, according to the story, hope to uncover the genetic makeup of the virus, making it easier to combat.

Professor John Oxford of London's Queen Mary's School of Medicine, the British government's flu adviser, acknowledges that the exhumations and
subsequent studies will have to be done with extreme caution so the virus is not unleashed to cause another epidemic. The uncovering of a pathogen's genetic
structure is the exact work Pasechnik was doing at Regma. Pasechnik died six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced. The need to exhume the
bodies assumes no Type-A flu virus sample exists in any lab anywhere in the world.

A piece on MSNBC that aired September 6 makes the British exhumation plans seem odd. The story refers to an article that was to be published the following
day in the weekly magazine Science, reporting the 1918 flu virus had recently been RNA sequenced. Researchers had traced down and obtained virus samples
from archived lung tissue of WWI soldiers, and from an Inuit woman who had been buried in the Alaskan permafrost.

HELP WANTED, SPIES, AND A LINK TO PROMIS

Almost immediately at the outset of the anthrax scare, the Bush administration contracted with Bayer Pharmaceuticals for millions of doses of Cipro, an
antibiotic to treat anthrax. This was done despite many in the medical community stating that there were several cheaper, better alternatives to Cipro, which
has never been shown to be effective against inhaled anthrax. The Center for Disease Control's (CDC) own website states a preference for the antibiotic
doxycycline over Cipro for inhalation anthrax. CDC expresses concerns that widespread Cipro use could cause other bacteria to become immune to antibiotics.

It was announced Jan. 21 that the director of the CDC, Jeffrey Koplan, is resigning effective March 31. Six days earlier it was announced that Surgeon General
David Satcher is also resigning. And there is currently no director for the National Institutes of Health -- NIH is being run by an acting director. The recent
resignations leave the three most significant medical positions in the federal government simultaneously vacant.

After three months of conflicting reports it is now official that the anthrax that has killed several Americans since October 5 is from US military sources
connected to CIA research. The FBI has stated that only 10 people could have had access, yet at the same time they are reporting astounding security breaches
at the biowarfare facility at Fort Detrick, Md. -- breaches such as unauthorized nighttime experiments and lab specimens gone missing.

The militarized anthrax used by the US was developed by William C. Patrick III, who holds five classified patents on the process. He has worked at both Fort
Detrick, and the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. Patrick is now a private biowarfare consultant to the military and CIA. Patrick developed the process by
which anthrax spores could be concentrated at the level of one trillion spores per gram. No other country has been able to get concentrations above 500 billion
per gram. The anthrax that was sent around the eastern US last fall was concentrated at one trillion spores per gram, according to a Jan. 31 report by Barbara
Hatch Rosenberg of the Federation of American Scientists.

In recent years Patrick has worked with Kanatjan Alibekov. Now known by the Americanized "Ken Alibek", he defected to the US in 1992. Before defecting,
Alibek was the no. 2 man in the FSU's biowarfare program. His boss was Vladimir Pasechnik.

Currently, Ken Alibek is President of Hadron Advanced Biosystems, a subsidiary of Alexandria, Va.-based Hadron, Inc. Hadron describes itself as a company
specializing in the development of technical solutions for the intelligence community. As chief scientist at Hadron, Alibek gave extensive testimony to the
House Armed Services Committee about biological weapons on Oct. 20, 1999, and again on May 23, 2000. Hadron announced on Dec. 20 that as of that date,
the company had received $12 million in funding for medical biodefense research from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the US Army
Medical Research and Materiel Command, and the NIH. Hadron said it was working in the field of non-specific immunity.

In the 1980s Hadron was founded and headed by Dr. Earl Brian, a medical doctor and crony of Ronald Reagan and an associate of former Attorney General
Edwin Meese. Brian was convicted in the 1980s on fraud charges. Both Hadron and Brian have been closely associated in court documents and numerous
credible reports, confirmed since Sept. 11, with the theft of enhanced PROMIS software from its owner, the INSLAW Corporation. PROMIS is a highly
sophisticated computer program capable of integrating a wide variety of databases. The software has reportedly been mated in recent years with artificial
intelligence. PROMIS has long been known to have been modified by intelligence agencies with a back door that allows for surreptitious retrieval of stored
data. [For more information on what PROMIS can do and its history, please use the search engine at www.copvcia.com.]

Given this unique capability, and Hadron s prior connections to PROMIS, it is a possibility that the software, by tapping into databases used by each of the
victims, could have identified any lines of research that threatened to compromise a larger, and as yet unidentified, more sinister covert operation.

A PATTERN?

The DNA sequencing work by several of the microbiologists discussed earlier is aimed at developing drugs that will fight pathogens based on the pathogen's
genetic profile. The work is also aimed at eventually developing drugs that will work in cooperation with a person's genetic makeup. Theoretically, a drug
could be developed for one specific person. That being the case, it's obvious that one could go down the ladder, and a drug could be developed to effectively
treat a much broader class of people sharing a genetic marker. The entire process can also be turned around to develop a pathogen that will affect a broad class
of people sharing a genetic marker. A broad class of people sharing a genetic marker could be a group such as a race, or people with brown eyes.

SMALLPOX

An Oct. 17 story in USA Today reported that the US government wanted to order 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine. Apparently, that wish has been
granted. On Nov. 28 a British vaccine maker, Acambis, announced that it had received a $428 million contract to provide 155 million doses of smallpox
vaccine to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This was Acambis' second contract. The company is already in the process of producing
54 million doses. The US government has 15.4 million doses stockpiled, and HHS plans to dilute them five to one. The two contracts and the dilution program
will bring the total HHS stockpile to 286 million doses.

Smallpox was officially declared eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1977, after treating the last known case in Merca, Somalia.

MEHPA -- MEDICAL FASCISM

A meeting of the Center for Law and the Public Health (CLPH) was convened on Oct. 5. This group is run jointly by Georgetown University Law School and
Johns Hopkins Medical School, and was founded under the auspices of the Center for Disease Control (CDC). CLPH was formed one month prior to the 2000
Presidential election. The purpose of the October meeting was to draft legislation to respond to the then current bioterrorism threat.

After working only 18 days, on Nov. 23 CLPH released a 40-page document called the Model Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA). This was a "model"
law that HHS is suggesting be enacted by the 50 states to handle future public health emergencies such as bioterrorism. A revised version was released on Dec.
21 containing more specific definitions of "public health emergency" as it pertains to bioterrorism and biologic agents, and includes language for those states
that want to use the act for chemical, nuclear or natural disasters.

According to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), after declaring a "public health emergency", and without consulting with public
health authorities, law enforcement, the legislature or courts, a state governor using MEHPA, or anyone he/she decides to empower, can among many things:

- Require any individual to be vaccinated. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine.

- Require any individual to undergo specific medical treatment. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine.

- Seize any property, including real estate, food, medicine, fuel or clothing, an official thinks necessary to handle the emergency.

- Seize and destroy any property alleged to be hazardous. There will be no compensation or recourse.

- Draft you or your business into state service.

- Impose rationing, price controls, quotas and transportation controls.

- Suspend any state law, regulation or rule that is thought to interfere with handling the declared emergency.

When the federal government wanted the states to enact the 55 mph speed limit, they coerced the states using the threat of withholding federal monies. The
same tactic will likely be used with MEHPA. As of this writing the law has been passed in Kentucky. According to AAPS, it has been introduced in the
legislatures of Arizona, California, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New
York, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. It is expected to be introduced shortly in Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, and Wisconsin. MEHPA is being
evaluated by the executive branches in North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC.

The research the microbiologists were doing could have developed methods of treating diseases like anthrax and smallpox without conventional antibiotics or
vaccines. Pharmaceutical contracts to deal with these diseases will total hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars. If epidemics could be treated in non-
traditional ways, MEHPA might not be necessary. Considering the government's actions nullifying many civil liberties since last September, MEHPA seems to
be a law looking for an excuse to be enacted. Maybe the microbiologists were in the way of some peoples' or business' agendas.

We also know that DNA sequencing research can be used to develop pathogens that target specific genetically related groups. One company, DynCorp, handles
data processing for many federal agencies, including the CDC, the Department of Agriculture, several branches of the Department of Justice, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and the NIH. On Nov. 12 DynCorp announced that its subsidiary, DynPort Vaccine, had been awarded a $322 million contract to
develop, produce, test, and store FDA licensed vaccines for use by the Defense Department. It would be incredibly easy for DynCorp to hide information
pertaining to the exact make-up, safety, efficacy and purpose of the drugs and vaccines the US government has contracted for.

Reasons to suspect DynCorp of criminal behavior are not hard to find. Investigative reporter Kelly O Meara of Insight Magazine, in a story dated February 4,
disclosed a massive US military investigation of how DynCorp employees in Bosnia had engaged in a widespread sex slave ring, trading children as young as
eight and videotaping forced sexual encounters. She reviewed government documents and interviewed Army investigators looking into the activities which had
spread throughout DynCorp s contract operations to service helicopters and warehouse supplies for the US military. Videos and other evidence of the crimes
are in the Army s possession. And in a February 23rd story, veteran journalist Al Giordano of www.narconews.com reported that a class action suit had been
filed in Washington, D.C. by more than 10,000 Ecuadorian farmers and a labor union against DynCorp for its rampant spraying of herbicides which have
destroyed food crops, weakened the ecosystem and caused more than 1,100 documented cases of illness.

DynCorp s current Chairman, Paul Lombardi responded to the suit by sending intimidating letters in an unsuccessful attempt to force the plaintiffs to
withdraw.

DynCorp has also been directly linked to the development and use of PROMIS software by its founder Bill Hamilton of Inslaw. DynCorp s former Chairman,
current board member and the lead investor in Capricorn Holdings, is Herbert Pug Winokur. Winokur was, until recently, Chairman of the Enron Finance
Committee. He claimed ignorance as to the fraudulent financial activities of Enron s board even though he was charged with their oversight.

New Developments in 9-11 Biowar Legislation -- MEHPA Draws Criticism, More Microbiologists Dying

by Michael Davidson, FTW staff writer

April 4, 2002, 10:00 AM PST (FTW) -- Even as the epidemic of dying microbiologists continues, the draconian Model Emergency Health
Powers Act (MEHPA) is making its way across the country. But MEHPA's march is turning out to be much less of a walk in the park than the
Bush administration expected. All over America, individuals and organizations are rising up to oppose what many see as an astounding assault
on civil liberties. The legislation is being pushed on states by the Department of Health and Human Services. Among other provisions, MEHPA
includes sections that:

" Require any individual to be vaccinated. Refusal could constitute a felony and will result in quarantine.

" Require any individual to undergo specific medical treatment. Refusal could constitute a felony and will result in quarantine.

" Allow state or local governments to seize any property, including real estate, food, medicine, fuel or clothing, an official thinks necessary to
handle the emergency.

" Allow state or local governments to seize and destroy any property alleged to be hazardous. There will be no compensation or recourse.

" Draft you or your business into state service in the event of a declared emergency.

" Impose rationing, price controls, quotas and transportation controls.

" Suspend any state law, regulation or rule that is thought to interfere with handling the declared emergency.

In addition to the medical, ethical, religious and constitutional problems MEHPA poses, much of the opposition to MEHPA relates to the
amazing vagueness of the law's language -- any state governor can use MEHPA to make him or herself an absolute dictator by declaring an
emergency. The proposed law defines a "public health emergency" as "an occurrence or imminent threat of an illness or health condition,
caused by bioterrorism, epidemic or pandemic disease, or novel or highly fatal infectious agent or biological toxin that poses a substantial risk
of a significant number of human fatalities or incidents of permanent or long-term disability."

Lawrence O. Gostin, Georgetown University Law School professor and primary author of MEHPA, uses incredibly vague language in his
attempts to defend his proposed law. In an Insight On The News magazine article dated Jan. 7 Gostin, while discussing the checks and
balances on a governor's declaration of a state of emergency, said, "The governor could do so only if there were compelling grounds for
believing that there is a strong potential for mass casualties from bioterrorism or a novel infectious disease."

LEGISLATORS, NGOs, AIDS/HIV COMMUNITY OPPOSES MEHPA

There is particular concern about MEHPA in the AIDS/HIV community. The AIDS problem has been repeatedly described as a "pandemic," a
word specifically used in the legislation. In the Insight On The News article Gostin states, "It is not intended that long-term endemic diseases
such as HIV/AIDS would be covered."

MEHPA's progress is being closely monitored by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a non-partisan association of state
legislators. As of March 29, ALEC points to 24 states where versions of MEHPA have been introduced. So far, only South Dakota has passed a
watered-down MEHPA-type law. A Minnesota bill close to passage is closer to the draft legislation. This bill has many of the original model
law's provisions. Only one state, Mississippi, has actually defeated a MEHPA-type law.

According to Sandy Liddy Bourne, one of ALEC's MEHPA coordinators, "The further we get from 9-11, the less enthusiasm there seems to be
for this type of legislation. State legislators are realizing they have other pressing issues to attend to." Organizations and citizen groups
throughout the country, including the Libertarian Party and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, are pressing forward with
concerted efforts to stop MEHPA-type legislation.

U.S. SPIN FANS FLAMES OF BIOTERRORISM

That enthusiasm to which Bourne referred can be rekindled at any moment, and it is quite apparent that some interests -- especially the U.S.
government -- are extremely interested in keeping bioterrorism fears inflamed. News stories attempting to link Al Qaeda and the Taliban to
bioterrorism pop up on a regular basis.

For example, a New York Times article published March 23 was headlined, "U.S. Says It Found Qaeda Lab Being Built to Produce Anthrax,"
and restated that claim by "officials" in the first sentence. However, in the 13th paragraph the Times reports, "American officials did not
describe the evidence in detail but said that it included medical equipment and supplies that would be useful for legitimate research but could
also be used to produce biological agents."

An Associated Press story on March 22 began, "U.S. forces have recently found what appears to be another rudimentary al-Qaida biological
weapons research site." The very next sentence was, "Officials found no evidence the terrorist organization could make weapons out of
diseases or poisons, the official said. Instead, searchers found medical supplies and commonly available chemistry equipment."

Attorney General John Ashcroft is part of this "terrifyism" game. In a March 6 interview with USA Today, Ashcroft was quoted as saying
authorities are "not on the verge" of any significant breakthrough in searching for the source of last fall's anthrax mailings that killed five.
Ashcroft should be aware that prior to this interview, the FBI publicly acknowledged that the anthrax came from the U.S. military. A Feb. 25
story in The Washington Times began, "The FBI's search for the person who mailed anthrax-laced letters that killed five persons has focused
on a former U.S. scientist who worked at a government laboratory where he learned to make a weapons-grade strain of the deadly bacteria."

Barbara Hatch Rosenberg is Chair of the Bioweapons Verification Working Group at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). She is an
acknowledged authority in the field, was a senior advisor to President Clinton, and has extensive connections in the biowarfare, law
enforcement and intelligence communities. Rosenberg posted an article on the FAS website Feb. 5 beginning, "For more than three months
now the FBI has known that the perpetrator of the anthrax attacks is an American."

Both the White House and the FBI have ridiculed Rosenberg's statements.

Even apparently "good" news can serve the needs of some to keep the public on the edge of its bioterrorism seat. America was strongly
reminded of the biowarfare threat when, on March 28, the Washington Post reported that a pharmaceutical company had "discovered" between
70- and 90 million frozen, long-forgotten smallpox vaccine doses. How the company, Aventis Pasteur (now owned by Bayer, AG), could have
forgotten 70- to 90 million units of its stock-in-trade was a temporary mystery. Until the next day, when an AP story by Lauran Neergaard
reported that the federal government knew about the stockpile for years, and that Aventis had formally offered the vaccine to the government at
no charge after Sept. 11.

In February, FTW reported that British vaccine maker, Acambis, had received a $428 million federal contract last November to produce 155
million doses of smallpox vaccine. This was in addition to the contract Acambis already had to produce 54 million doses. The government has
15.4 million doses of smallpox vaccine warehoused, and planned to dilute them five to one. This would bring the total U.S. stockpile to 286
million doses. Is Aventis getting a free $150 million tax write off at taxpayer expense?

MICROBIOLOGISTS CONTINUE TO DIE

Also in February, FTW reported on the extremely suspicious deaths of as many as 14 world-class microbiologists. Since that report, three more
microbiologists have died.

At about 8:45 p.m. on Feb. 27, Tanya Holzmayer answered the door of her Mountain View, Calif. home to find a Domino's Pizza deliveryman.
While explaining that she had not ordered a pizza, a man jumped out of the shadows firing several point-black shots at Holzmayer, killing her
instantly. The shooter ran down the street, jumped into a Ford Explorer, and sped away. Holzmayer's work was centered on using genomics to
develop drugs for HIV/AIDS and cancer.

At about 10 o'clock that night, the body of Guyang "Matthew" Huang was found on a jogging path in a Foster City, Calif. park. He had been shot
once in the head, and a .380 semi-automatic pistol was near his body. Quoted about Huang in the San Francisco Chronicle on Feb. 28,
Mountain View police Capt. Craig Courtin said, "[Huang] did make a phone call to his wife and told her he was on the bay, told her he had shot
his boss [Holzmayer,] and...he threatened suicide."

While the pistol found beside Huang was immediately found to have been registered to him, a month after the incident Mountain View police
have not confirmed any ballistic evidence that links Huang's gun to Holzmayer's murder.

Both Holzmayer and Huang, like the other dead microbiologists FTW reported on in February, were experts at DNA sequencing. Holzmayer
had been Huang's superior at PPD, a Menlo Park, Calif. biotech firm. Holzmayer fired Huang in June, eight months before the shootings.
Holzmayer herself left PPD in recent months, possibly to start her own biotech firm. PPD will not comment, other than to say Holzmayer and
Huang both worked there.

Quoted in the Sacramento Bee on March 2, Maurille Fournier, Huang's doctoral advisor, said Huang was fired because PPD believed he was
doing work for another firm on the side, but that Huang insisted PPD knew about this other work. It is clear from several sources that Holzmayer
did not initiate Huang's firing, and did not want to fire him, but was ordered to do so by senior management.

Huang should not have been worried about finding employment. His resume included the fact that he was a senior research fellow at the
University of Washington's Department of Molecular Biology and a professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He was also a
founder of the Southern China National Human Genome Research Center.

In another bizarre incident, British microbiologist David Wynn-Williams was killed while jogging near his home in Cambridge, England. Wynn-
Williams was an acknowledged expert on the microbiology of the Antarctic ecosystem, and how it could serve as a model for life on other
planets. And like the others, Wynn-Williams was involved in DNA sequencing.

According to a March 27 report in England's The Telegraph, Wynn-Williams was caught between two cars that apparently collided. Neither
driver was hurt, yet the impact was sufficient enough to kill Wynn-Williams.

FTW Special Report on SARS

The 9/11 Biowarfare Trail Lengthens

Combining Biological
and Economic Warfare
by Michael C. Ruppert and Wayne Madsen

[For more than a year and a half FTW has been examining the relationships between these developments:

The attacks of 9/11;

Biowarfare, starting with the anthrax attacks of 2001, later proven to have used a strain of the disease developed by the CIA;

The mysterious deaths of as many as 15 world-class microbiologists specializing in infectious diseases and DNA sequencing since 9/11;

The rush to enact unwarranted, draconian public health measures including MEHPA, The Patriot Act, and the Homeland Security Act which have violated the
constitution and given the government the right to forcibly vaccinate or quarantine American citizens and to confiscate property without due process;
The documentary record of US, Israeli and South African attempts to develop gene-specific bioweapons; and

The reality that an irreversible peak and decline in global oil and gas production would cause a massive overshoot of population that could not be fed or
managed with rapidly disappearing, non-renewable energy supplies which no amount of demand could replace. The end game of this decline would be direct
competition between the United States and China, which are destined to be consuming as much as eighty per cent of the world's oil production by the middle
of the century.

Back in November of 2001 I had concluded, based upon scientific data, that Peak Oil was real. It was apparent that the world's population had already overshot
the decline and that this was going to be increasingly difficult to conceal. Events since that time, world oil production data and reports from CNNHN and the
BBC have proven this correct. I also concluded, along with several other researchers, that one possible contingency plan developed by the world's elites was
consistent with an option that had been discussed by scientists looking at Peak Oil issues as long as ten years ago – reduce the world's population by as much
as 4 billion people using biological warfare. Reduction to 2 billion represents sustainable food production levels demonstrated before petroleum energy and
natural gas (ammonia) changed agriculture. I mentioned this likelihood in my first post-9/11 lecture at Portland State University in November of 2001. That
was before most of the above events had taken place or were even known.

With much of my earlier research having since been validated, it is fair to ask if the SARS virus fits into this scenario. The answer is that it does and it doesn't.
It is becoming clear that economic and military stresses caused as nations position themselves for the end of the age of oil raise the possibility of a global
conflict which could be just as deadly as the energy famine itself. In other words, competition for energy might be as destructive as not having enough. Full
public acknowledgement by the markets of the reality of Peak Oil could produce chaos long before shortages become acute. So one requirement that must be
addressed in the "management" of Peak Oil is how to reduce demand and weaken the competition without disclosing the underlying issue.

In this role, SARS fits the bill perfectly because it has successfully terrified much of the world's population, weakened the Chinese economy and set the stage
for more deadly diseases while avoiding the real issue. SARS serves the role of something long-practiced in covert operations and warfare – a dry run on
serious population reduction and management. Ultimately something will give. And ultimately – as people begin to starve – population issues will have to be
addressed, both in terms of number and in terms of maintaining order. SARS, while most likely not the agent envisioned by some scientists as the "big one",
conveniently serves the dual purpose of conditioning populations for the time when forced vaccinations may accomplish the task or when they will be told to
surrender all personal liberties as a more deadly disease occupies the stage.

But to think of SARS only in that context is to miss a great many other "side effects" of the disease, not the least of which is the fact that it forces China to
accept western medical and business practices favored by globalized financial interests and the pharmaceutical industry. It also strengthens the political clout
of China's new leader Hu Jintao as he is forced to respond decisively.

As I have noted many times US-Chinese relationships are a double-edged sword. While China will ultimately become the US's main competitor for energy,
capitalism demands debt, growth and increased sales to avoid collapse. China has long been recognized as the last great market for capitalist expansion. China
is the market that US corporations like Motorola, Microsoft, GM, IBM, Intel, AIG and the pharmaceutical companies need to sustain growth, support share
prices and pay dividends. While SARS appears to be hurting the short-term interests of some American corporations it may ultimately prove to be a bonanza
for the WTO, the World Bank and the financial engines that can use debt and "transparency" to shift some of the west's economic weakness by lending dollars
and compelling China adopt western practices.

The questions then are whether SARS is manmade and how it is man used. The answers, especially considering the US's history of engineering bioweapons
and some very pronounced links to 9/11, are not reassuring. And there are lingering connections to the research work of the recently deceased microbiologists.

Dead Microbiologists Linked

To Ethno-Specific BioWeapons
From Patricia Doyle, PhD
dr_p_doyle@hotmail.com
8-10-3

Hello, Jeff - Note the following exerpt from the article enclosed. I remember
when I first read each news report about the death of separate microbiologists.
Absolutely no one considered the fact that the deaths of the various
microbiologists, especially the first five - Dr. Que, Wiley, Schwartz, Paschnek
and Dr. Nguyen - were related. The press simply reported each death as it
occurred and did not put the deaths together. In essence, no one connected the
dots until you and I discussed the connection on your program.

It would appear that Dr. Kelly is related to the microbiologist deaths

phonomenon. Please note the excerpt below. In the scheme of things, I wonder
where Ken Alibek fits in? He is definitely one dot that I believe (allegedly)
connects to, not only the microbiologist deaths, but the Anthrax attacks of
2001. I also believe that (allegedly) Don Rumsfeld is another dot.

If you remember, when we connected the dots i.e. put the deaths together, I
discussed the possibility that each scientist had a "piece of the puzzle" in
regard to a "target specific" bioweapon. I am wondering if SARS, somehow
fits into the puzzle? Was SARS developed in China, or Israel? Does make one
wonder.

Excerpt:

"The two American scientists he had worked with were Benito Que, 52, and
Don Wiley, 57. Both microbiologists had been engaged in DNA sequencing
that could provide "a genetic marker based on genetic profiling." The research
could play an important role in developing weaponized pathogens to hit
selected groups of humans"identifying them by race. Two years ago, both men
were found dead, in circumstances never fully explained."

Microbiologists With Link to Race-Based Weapon Turning Up Dead

More on Kelly... True or False?

Exclusive to American Free Press

By Gordon Thomas
8-10-3

Dr. David Kelly - the biological warfare weapons specialist at the heart of the
continuing political crisis for the British government - had links to three other
top microbiologists whose deaths have left unanswered questions.

The 59-year-old British scientist was involved with ultra secret work at Israel's
Institute for Biological Re search. Israeli sources claim Kelly met institute
scientists several times in London in the past two years.

Israel has not signed the Biological Weapons and Toxins Convention, an
international treaty ratified by more than 140 countries. It forbids the
development, possession and use of offensive biological and chemical
weapons.

The CIA, FBI and MI5 are now examining Kelly's connections. Their findings
could form part of the British government's inquiry into the background of
Kelly's death, which opened last week.

The intelligence investigation is believed to have originated in Washington,

where it emerged that Kelly had contacts with two companies in the U.S. bio-
defense industry.

One of the men he was in touch with was a former Russian defector,
Kamovtjan Alibekov. When he arrived in America, he changed his name to
Ken Alibek. He is now president of Hadron Advanced Biosystems - a company
specializing in medicines against biological terrorist attacks. Kelly was himself
considering resigning from his senior post at the Ministry of Defense to work
in America. Before his death, he had been discreetly headhunted by two
companies. One was Hadron Advanced Biosystems, which has close ties to the
Pentagon.

Hadron describes itself as "a company specializing in the development of

technical solutions for the U.S. intelligence community." Hadron also has links
to William Patrick, who has five classified patents on the process of
developing weaponized anthrax. He is a biowarfare consultant to both the
Pentagon and the CIA.

The other company is Regma Biotechnologies - one that Kelly helped its
founder, Vladimir Pasechnik, to set up in Britain, arranging for it to have a
laboratory at Porton Down, the country's chem-bio warfare defense
establishment.

Regma currently has a contract with the U.S. Navy for "the diagnostic and
therapeutic treatment of anthrax."

Kelly had told family friends he wanted to go to America so that he could

obtain the specialized treatment his wife, Janice, requires. "He also felt that
working in the U.S. private sector would relieve him of the intense pressures
which came with his government work," said a colleague in the Ministry of
Defense.

The two American scientists he had worked with were Benito Que, 52, and
Don Wiley, 57. Both microbiologists had been engaged in DNA sequencing
that could provide "a genetic marker based on genetic profiling." The research
could play an important role in developing weaponized pathogens to hit
selected groups of humans - identifying them by race. Two years ago, both
men were found dead, in circumstances never fully explained.

In November 2001, Que left his laboratory after receiving a telephone call.
Shortly afterward he was found comatose in the parking lot of the Miami
Medical School. He died without regaining consciousness.

Police said he had suffered a heart attack. His family insisted he had been in
perfect health and claimed four men attacked him. But, later, oddly, the family
inquest returned a verdict of death by natural causes.

Many questions remain about Que's death:

Who was the mystery caller who sent Que hurrying from his lab hours before
he was scheduled to leave? What attempts did the police make to track the four
mystery men - after admitting Que was the "probable" victim of an attempt to
steal his car? What were his links to the U.S. Department of Defense? What
happened to his sensitive research into DNA sequencing? How close were his
connections to Kelly?

A few days after Que died, Wiley disappeared off a bridge spanning the
Mississippi River. He had just left a banquet for fellow researchers in
Memphis.

Weeks later, Wiley's body was found 300 miles down river. As with Que, his
family said he was in perfect health. There was no autopsy. The local medical
examiner returned a verdict of accidental death. It was suggested he had a
dizzy spell and fell off the bridge.

Again, there remain many unanswered questions concerning Wiley's demise:

Why did Wiley park his car on the bridge? Why did he leave the keys in the
ignition and his lights on? Why was Wiley's car facing in the opposite
direction from his father's house, which was only a short distance away? What
happened to his research into DNA sequencing? How close were his
connections to Kelly?

Kelly, himself an expert on DNA sequencing when he was head of

microbiology at Porton Down, had been kept fully abreast of the two men's
research.

The death of a third microbiologist - Vladimir Pasechnik, 64 - has left even

more questions.

Kelly had played a key role in debriefing Pasechnik when he fled to Britain in
1989, bringing with him details of Russian plans to use cruise missiles to
spread smallpox and plague, the Black Death of medieval times, which killed a
third of Europe's population. Before the plans could be brought to completion,
the Soviet Union had collapsed. Pasechnik had warned Kelly and his MI6
debriefers that the weapons could be used by terror groups - using missiles
obtained from China or North Korea.

Kelly, with government approval, had helped Pasechnik create Regma

Biotechnologies. Regma was allowed to set up a laboratory in Porton Down.

Research there is classified as top secret. However, in August 2002, the

company obtained a contract with the U.S. Navy for "the diagnostic and
therapeutic treatment of anthrax."

On Nov. 16, 2001, Pasechnik was found dead in bed - 10 days after he and
Wiley had met in Boston to discuss the latest developments in DNA
sequencing.

It was only a month later that Christopher Davis, a former MI6 officer and a
specialist in DNA sequencing as a potential weapon, announced Pasechnik's
death.

Davis had retired from MI6 and settled in Great Falls, Va. He confirmed to a
reporter that Pasechnik was dead - from a stroke - a month after the
microbiologist had been buried.

Details of the postmortem were not revealed at an inquest, in which the press
was given no prior notice. Colleagues who had worked with Pasechnik said he
was in good health.

Why was it left to Davis to announce Pasechnik's death? Who authorized the
announcement? Did an MI6 pathologist conduct the autopsy, as one source
close to the service claims? Why did Pasechnik continue to visit Porton Down
up to a week before his death? Who authorized his security clearance to enter
one of the most restricted establishments in Britain?

Kelly's links to the Institute of Biological Research in the Tel Aviv suburb of
Nes Zions are also intriguing.

His connection to the secret biological plant began in October 2001, shortly
after a commercial flight en route from Israel to Novosibirsk in Siberia was
blown up over the Black Sea by a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile.

All on board the flight were killed, including five Russian microbiologists
returning to their research institute in Novosibirsk - a city known as the
scientific capital of Siberia. It has 50 facilities and 13 universities.

Many questions remain about the death of these five scientists. Why did
Mossad send a team to Ukraine to investigate the crash? What became of their
report after it was submitted to the Israeli government? Why do the Ukrainian
authorities still insist they cannot reveal the name of the dead microbiologists?
Did Pasechnik know them - or, more importantly, did Kelly?

The Institute for Biological Research is one of the most secret places in Israel.
Only Dimona, the country's nuclear facility in the Negev desert, is surrounded
by more secrecy. Most of the institute's 12 acres of facilities are underground.
Laboratories are only reached through airlocks.

There have been persistent reports that the institute is also engaged in DNA
sequencing research. One former member of the Knesset, Dedi Zucker, caused
a storm in the Israeli Parliament when he claimed that the institute was "trying
to create an ethnic specific weapon" in which Arabs could be targeted by
Israeli weapons.

From Mike Ruppert

August 11, 2003

Dear Jeff:

What's all this about Patricia Doyle saying that no one's covered the dead
microbiologists? I have covered them exhaustively in the below stories and in
about 25 lectures in four countries. In my lectures I have a complete slide
presentation and in my most recent report on SARS, I update the deaths with
research connecting the dead scientists to the possible creation of a man-made
corona virus or bioweapon.

In addition, my work predates that of Gordon Thomas who found it convenient

to use my research without sourcing it. I confronted him on that immediately
and have records proving it.
