before World Trade 7’s collapse, that he had heard concerns about the “structural stability of the building.” This is merely one instance among many of suspect foreknowledge of this historically unprecedented collapse. 56

The Dark Winter Designer

A key designer of Dark Winter was Tara O’Toole, who was later chosen by the Obama administration as undersecretary of science and technology for the Department of Homeland Security. O’Toole has been severely criticized for her bioterrorism exercises. One scientist (chemist George Smith) has referred to her as “the top academic/salesperson for the coming of

apocalyptic bioterrorism which has never quite arrived. [She’s] most prominent for always lobbying for more money for biodefense, conducting tabletop exercises on bioterrorism for easily overawed public officials, exercises tweaked to be horrifying.” 57 Another scientist, Rutgers University microbiologist Richard Ebright, has commented that “O’Toole supported every flawed decision and counterproductive policy on biodefense, biosafety, and biosecurity during the Bush administration.” 58

Foreknowledge Summary

Attempts to solve a crime depend on pattern recognition. Patterns do not always indicate causal connections and there is no way to be certain Dark Winter and the anthrax attacks were

connected in a substantial way—that they were, for example, both part of a general plan created by one group or linked groups. Still, given the failure of official investigating agencies in the U.S. to carry out their investigations fully and responsibly, civil society researchers have no choice but to attempt the job. The parallels between Dark Winter and the anthrax attacks are sufficiently suspect to warrant further investigation.

It is difficult, in fact, when reviewing Dark Winter and its participants, to avoid a feeling of vertigo. Perhaps the contrast between simulation and reality is misleading? Perhaps the anthrax attacks were the second phase of a simulation—a phase in which lethality would give the simulation and its purposes the attention the designers craved?

In any case, foreknowledge of the anthrax attacks, widely accepted in the fall of 2001 as

deriving from a valid process of intelligence gathering, is today a highly visible sign of fraud.

The foreknowledge did not derive from valid intelligence gathering, and because we now know

this, we are justified in assuming it derived from the perpetrators of the attacks. An intelligence agency with integrity would be able to follow the leads, even today, quickly to their sources.
