Rockefeller, Thatcher & Lederberg, Dec.'79

Former Rockefeller University president Dr. Joshua Lederberg not only gave Iraq West Nile Virus, but "anthrax Bacillus" too! The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) - under his watch - sent nineteen shipments of various strains of anthrax, suitable for weapons production, to Saddam Hussein in the years leading up to Desert Storm.

The weapons-grade anthrax used in the October 2001 attacks had an "extraordinarily high concentration of deadly spores" - "higher than any stock publicly known to be produced by other governments." "Someone with ties to the old program may be behind the attacks" speculated one writer in the New York Times. (124)

Bayer's lab in Berkeley, Cal.

In the early 1960s, Rockefeller-linked Merck manufactured anthrax vaccine, but then lost interest. (125) In 1992, it was reported that Bayer's Miles-Cutter bio-war lab in Berkeley, California - aside from the "class 3" plague - was manufacturing "class 2" viruses. Examples of "class 2" viruses are polio, rabies, Epstein Barr, Legionnaire's disease and "Bacillus anthracis" or anthrax. (126)

In October 1998, Bioport Corp. landed an exclusive $29 million contract with the Department of Defense to "manufacture, test, bottle and store the anthrax vaccine." BioPort's principal investor was Saudi businessman Fuad El-Hibri - a close friend of the bin Laden family, and a previous merger and acquisitions manager for the Rockefeller-linked Citigroup in New York.
