September 11 and the "Anthrax Scare":Part1
September 11 and "The Anthrax Scare"
In order to fully understand the events of September 11 and the "Anthrax Scare", you must look at the world wide actions historically that led to those events. Many of the things leading up to those incidents started with the "War Powers Act" and were the culmination of the actions of individuals, organizations, corporations, and political families that have existed since that time. The abuse of power and people, the over-use of natural resources, and the subversion of entire nations continued with overwhelming economic influence at the conclusion of the second world war. The continued consolidation of corporations and influential families into international conglomerates that have more wealth individually than entire nations actually began in the 1920's.

NAFTA was only one treaty designed to curry favor from nations of the American continents.
With the creation of the WTO, the dominant corporations from around the world have consolidated their grip on the global economy and governments in ways that the Roman Empire, the Third Reich, the Huns, the Turks, and even Napoleon could not complete with attempted military dominance. With a pen-stroke, whole nations can be plunged into deep recession and overwhelming debt. The unemployment, national debt, trade levies, as well as the supply of raw materials and food can be manipulated by the individuals of the WTO who are not elected, are not representatives of any specific nation or people, and are not
