TrebleRebel,
Did you expect Osama perchance to be contributing instead?
It’s called the American campaign of election finance.
There was absolutely nothing inappropriate about Ken being a donor in fact it would be highly perplexing if he weren’t.
So the post was moderately rude.
You are hereby duly cautioned. I didn’t bring Debra to the party but I aim to make sure that no internet posting hooligans pass gas while she’s here at the dance. It’s a rare opportunity to learn something from someone with actual knowledge of the facts under discussion. Now if only you had the good manners of Shermy or Mitchell.
Why don’t you put the education your momma paid for to good use and explain to me why the patents I’ve referenced do not explain the AFIP’s detection of silica.
I realize you swoon over every word Ken says.
But make no mistake, Kenatjan Alibekov is one the masters of the great game. He led one of the most audacious misinformation campaigns of the cold war. It’s all outlined in Mangold and Goldberg’s “Plague Wars”:
CHAPTER NINE Incident at Sverdlovsk
Page 76:
The Soviets now went to extraordinary lengths to buttress their lies and make them supportable and credible worldwide. What had begun as a local cover-up in Sverdlovsk, now became an international fairy tale, a fiction of breathtaking audacity.
Amazingly, he wasn’t happy enough with the weaponized anthrax he created in the Sverdlovsk leak killing hundreds. Whilst lying to the West he secretly went on to continue to improve the powdered anthrax he had created:

In the years since the Sverdlovsk accident, Alibek and a research team had taken the Soviet military’s anthrax and made it even more deadly. He developed a process to take ground up anthrax spores and coat each particle in plastic and resin. It kept the anthrax aloft four times longer, increasing its ability to infect people.
“The main idea was just to make it more efficient. Just, for example, using a pretty small amount of this weapon to cover as much as possible territory, populated territory, [ to kill as many people as possible.]” Alibek says.
