Anthrax!
by Matthew Gaylor 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

When asked about the current Anthrax scare, President Bush replied, "I don't know what the big deal is all about. I think it's perfectly safe to travel by train." Note from Matthew Gaylor: I've heard that Israeli gas masks are now going for upwards of $150 with extra filters going for $30. Although they can be had cheaply enough on E-Bay. That's a far cry from the case (12) I purchased years ago for something on the order of $5 per mask which included West German filters. For those of you who aren't well prepared or aren't well heeled let me suggest The Junk Science, Do-It-Yourself -- Gas Mask below: Source: Sierra Times http://www.sierratimes.com/ The Junk Science, Do-It-Yourself -- Gas Mask http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/files/oct/03/arwh100301.htm NOTE: Click on the above URL to view the many pictures in the article. Wayne Hicks 10.03.01 (Note to my readers: I'll be following this with a Chem-Bio Protection system for small children, and a Do-it-yourself chem-bio shelter... only here at Sierra Times!--WH) Wayne has compiled a new e-book: Junk Science Survival that contains many instructions and much more information on how to apply some of these ideas to your own practical use! Click below for more information. http://www.sierratimes.com/junksciad.htm With the current state of affairs, and the repeated warnings by high-level Government Officials of possible, and even probable, Bio-Chemical Attacks on America, it seems to be time to apply the 'Real American Junk Science" philosophy to personal protection, and, based on the constant references in the news media to the demand for gas masks that can no longer be purchased, that item won first place in the list. Photo http://www.sierratimes.com/images/mask/model1.jpg The strange looking girl in the photo above is my Daughter, DaniJo, and she is wearing a dual-filtered homemade gas mask that will, hopefully, afford her some protection in the event our small town becomes the target of a bio-chem attack. The two-stage filter is made of plastic bottles containing various filter materials, connected together by medical-grade clear neoprene tubing, and mated to a standard oxygen nose-mouth face mask. The eyepiece started out as an off-the-shelf eye-protector, and the housing is nothing more than a section of automotive inner-tube into which all of the relevant pieces have been secured with staples and rubber cement. Air is drawn into the filter bottles through a length of 3/8 inch copper tubing which extends through the bottle's cap and all the way to the bottom. The end is crimped so that air comes out of it in small streams. The bottle contains rubbing alcohol, and air drawn through it rises through the alcohol in tiny bubbles, hopefully killing any germs along the way. Also attached to the cap of the bottle, right beside the copper tubing, is one end of a length of our medical-grade tubing, and the air, which has bubbled up above the level of the alcohol, is now drawn through it to the second stage filter. In this smaller filter bottle, the incoming tube also rests on the bottom, but it is covered with a large wadding of HEPA filter material removed from a HEPA vacuum cleaner bag. It is then covered with four ounces of powdered activated charcoal, which is in turn sealed into place with a stuffing of more HEPA material. The piece of tubing seen protruding from the side of the mouthpiece and wrapping around the mask is connected to the air exhaust valve, a small automotive one-way valve (called a PCV valve) that allows the air you exhale to vent from the filter system without building up positive pressure in the bottle. When you inhale, the small amount of vacuum you apply to the filters and lines causes the valve to close, preventing any outside air from returning to the mask. Since the exhaust-valve tubing is six inches long, any air in the tubing that might get sucked in before the ball can close is only air that you have already filtered and breathed out, and therefore presents no danger. A second PCV valve is placed in the line from the filters to the mask, but reversed, so that it opens when you breathe in and closes when you breathe out. Activated Charcoal absorbs many times its own weight in contaminants that pass through it, and while air flows freely through the charcoal powder and the HEPA material; particles as small as 0.3 microns do not. Powdered Activated Charcoal is well known as the world's most effective absorbent. Activated Charcoal is like a magnetic sponge, that will adsorb any living or nonliving substance that has the opposite electrical charge. It is made by cremating hardwood logs or coconut shells. The resulting Charcoal is then steamed, producing microscopic tunnels. Lastly, it is processed to produce sizes from blocks down to powder. Different sizes of the resulting Activated Charcoal are used for different purposes. When any gases or liquids pass by &/or through the Activated Charcoal, the substances as mentioned before will be attracted to it's surface. Activated Charcoal can adsorb over 4,000 chemicals including drugs, poisons, toxins, and heavy metals, plus pathogens! It is used in Air and Water filters all around the world. HEPA filtration technology was developed by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to remove airborne radioactive particles. In order to be considered true HEPA filter it must be capable of removing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Today HEPA filter is used in such places as hospitals and manufactures' clean rooms where clean air is absolutely vital. ALL known bacteria will die when trapped in the HEPA filters, for after passing through the alcohol and Activated Charcoal elements, there is no moisture available to facilitate their growth, and they lose their own internal moisture rapidly. This mask, as ridiculous as it looks, should be functional in protecting you against most bio-chemical attacks we may face, and here's why: BIO ATTACKS: Because biological toxins are not volatile, as are chemical agents, and with rare exceptions, do not directly affect the skin, an aggressor would have to present toxins to target populations in the form of respirable aerosols, which allow contact with the more vulnerable inner surfaces of the lung. This, fortunately, makes even our homemade gas mask potentially effective against such a threat, since it will absorb/trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. Almost all biological attack threats are made up of aerosol particles between 0.5 and 5 microns in diameter. CHEMICAL ATTACKS: During an attack with Chemical agents, the respiratory system must be protected against aerosols and gases in the air (at the same time, it's a good idea to protect the rest of the body against direct contact with chemical agents in the form of liquid or solid particles). In addition, the respiratory system must be protected against evaporating gas. The filter in a protective mask consists of two parts; an aerosol filter and a gas filter. The aerosol filter is built up of a layer of fibers (HEPA). The particles are removed when they collide with the fibers, to which they adhere. If it is a volatile substance that adheres, it may subsequently evaporate from the aerosol filter. Consequently, it is important to design a filter whereby the gas filter component is located after the aerosol filter. The gas filter component of the protective filter consists of Activated Charcoal, which absorbs over 400 varieties of chemical gases, including almost all known chem-warfare agents, and especially those which are most feasible to produce for use in large scale attacks. What all this tech-speak means is that this inexpensive alternative mask has a reasonable chance of keeping you alive for a period of time while you make your way to a shelter to await the "all-clear" and when I say "inexpensive", I mean it the whole thing was built for less than $30.00 in off-the-shelf parts and gathered junk, and only took about four hours of work! The parts list runs as follows: 1 15 inch automotive inner-tube, scrounged free from a local tire store 1 pair of eye-protectors, $1.88 at Wal-Mart 1 Oxygen mask w/tubing, $3.00 from a local Medical Supplies store 1 tube "Shoe Goo" rubber cement, $2.97, Wal-Mart 1 4 oz. Bottle of Activated Charcoal powder, $11.00, local drug store 2 small PCV valves, $2.49 each, Wal-Mart 1 package Hoover True HEPA vacuum cleaner Bags, $3.97, Wal-Mart 1 14-inch length 3/8 inch copper tubing, from an old air conditioner 1 bottle rubbing alcohol, $.88, Wal-Mart 1 2-liter pop bottle, from my trash can 1 20 oz Gatorade bottle, ditto Take a look: Parts photo http://www.sierratimes.com/images/mask/parts.jpg All I did was cut out a fourteen-inch section of the inner-tube, and make cutouts for the eye-protectors and the nose/mouth mask, then push them through the holes and staple them in place. The seams I coated with a liberal application of Shoe Goo, to ensure that they won't leak or come apart if you've ever used that stuff, you'll know what I mean! And, by the way eye protectors have many little air holes around their housings be sure to plug them all with a layer of Shoe Goo! Next, I removed the HEPA material from the vacuum cleaner bags in preparation for assembling and attaching the filters. This is easy Just cut the top off the bag, and gently pull the HEPA liner out of the bag. Be careful not to poke holes in it. Assembling the filter bottles is the most difficult part, and even that isn't hard. Drill two 3/8 inch holes in the cap, like so: Make sure the copper tubing is clean, and push it through one of the holes in the cap so that it extends all the way to the bottom. It's best if you can bend the end so that the opening cannot push against he bottom of the bottle, then use pliers to crimp the end slightly this will cause the air that comes through it to break up into small bubbles in the alcohol. Next, cut the oxy-bottle-connector from the clear neoprene hose that came with your oxygen mask, and push the new end through the other hole in the cap, but only a short distance, say about an inch or two. This end must always remain above the level of the alcohol in the bottle, and the bottle must always remain upright. Seal the tubes into the cap with lots of Shoe Goo! The smaller bottle is for the dry part of the filter. Again, drill two holes in the cap for this bottle, and then cut the neoprene line about twenty inches from where it enters the cap of the larger bottle, and push this end through one of the holes you just drilled. It should extend all the way to the bottom of the smaller bottle with a couple of inches to spare, so that you can lay it on the bottom of the bottle with cap still off. Now, take about a ten-inch square of the HEPA material and fold it into fourths, then wrap this around the end of the tube you just put in the cap. Secure it with a big glob of Shoe Goo and let it dry thoroughly. Once it's dry, let it hang to the bottom of the bottle and pour in the Activated Charcoal. Now take the rest of your HEPA material and pack it into the bottle. It doesn't matter if it gets pretty crumpled you want as much surface area exposed to the air coming through it as you can get! Once it's packed in, put the cap on and put a bead of Shoe Goo around the seam of the cap. Take the end of the neoprene hose that is now left hanging from your mask, cut off a six-inch length and lay it aside, then push the remaining end through the last hole in the cap, only about an inch, and secure both hoses in place in their holes with more Goo! Now, all that's left is to add the check valves, and hook it all up! This is a little tricky, so I'll go into heavy detail: On each side of your oxygen mask, there are some holes arranged in about a quarter-inch circle drill or punch through one or two of them on one side, until you have a 3/8 inch hole, then use Shoe Goo to close up all of the others, on both sides. Take the six-inch length of tubing you laid aside a few moments ago, and push it into the hole in the mask, then secure it with Shoe Goo, and use more Goo to glue it alongside the mask so that it curves upward around towards the ear. Now, grab on of the PCV valves and look at the arrow on the side of it to see which way it allows air to flow. You want to attach it to the hose so that it allows air to come I from the hose, but not go back in in other words, the arrow should point AWAY from the hose! Seal the connection with Shoe Goo! The final step is to connect the main filter line to the mask, and make sure that any holes in the connector (some have them) are sealed with Goo, and then cut the line about four inches below the mask, and get your other PCV valve. This time, you want the arrow to point TOWARDS THE MASK this will allow air to come in from the filters, but will not let your exhales go back into the filter bottles. Instead, this will force your exhaled breath to exit the mask through the exhaust valve that we put alongside the mask itself. Put the valve in place, then seal both ends of it to the hoses with Goo to make sure you don't have a leak. Putting the mask on is a little tricky, and you need to practice until you can get it on and tightly in place in about four or five seconds. Just pull the mask over your head, like a ski mask, but pull gently on the front of it and firmly on the back until it sits snugly in place and lines up on your eyes and mouth. Adjust it for as much comfort as you can manage remember, it's part of an inner tube and may be a little tight. This can be relieved partly by cutting away part of the back of the mask, making a hole that the back of your head can protrude into. If it's still too tight, I'd suggest getting a bigger inner tube and start again I would never cut the back open and try to make straps work on it. Well, that's about it You now have a gas mask that costs little, and while it may not be pretty, it will give you a lot better chance of staying alive than you'll have without one. I'm making these for my whole family, and am working on a more portable design.

DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case you lose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ========================================================== Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders.That's=100 people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for Report # 3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for Report # 4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Report # 5 THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH=$500,000.00 (half million). Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500 + 3.....$5,000 + 4.... $50,000 + 5..... $500,000 ....... Grand Total=$555,550.00 NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGUREOUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY ! ========================================================= REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone or half or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000e-mails each or more? There are over 150 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET ======================================================= Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD # 2 as you go along. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day service on all orders. This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report. =========== AVAILABLE REPORTS ==================== ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : ==================================================== REPORT #1: How to Send Out 0ne Million e-mails for Free Order Report # 1 from: Y.Sherieff P.O. Box # 72 Flinders Lane Victoria � 8009 Australia ________________________________________________________ REPORT# 2: The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net Order Report #2 from: WCI 4455 Torrance Blvd. #691 Torrance, CA. 90503 USA ______________________________________________ REPORT # 3: The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk e-mail on the Net Order Report # 3 from: Nada Mahmood P.O.

If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. === Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in ! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a Different report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business !!! ====================================================== FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can make more money in the next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2 ...........#5 as instructed above. One of the people you send this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW ! ============ MORE TESTIMONIALS ================ "My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving ''junk mail''. I made fun of the whole thing,spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I ''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old ''I told you so'' on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had Received total $147,200.00 ........... all cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her ''hobby''. Mitchell Wolf M.D., Chicago, Illinois ====================================================== ''Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back''. '' I was surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big." Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada ======================================================= ''I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed again by someone else .........11 months passed then it luckily came again...... I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within 22 weeks." Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y. ======================================================= ''It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $20,560.00 and by the end of third month my total cash count was $362,840.00. Life is beautiful, Thanx to internet.".

USG pulls 'sensitive' info off net

Must've never heard of caching.. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-100301safe.story Several federal agencies have removed sensitive documents and reports from their Internet sites following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, saying they want to keep the information out of the wrong hands. The Department of Transportation has removed its national mapping system for a variety of pipelines. The Department of Health and Human Services yanked a report on the dangers of chemical plant terrorism. The Environmental Protection Agency pulled information on risk-management programs, which inform communities of dangers from 15,000 chemical plants and other industrial facilities nationwide. The widespread editing illustrates how swiftly federal agencies have switched gears following the attacks. Although community activists have lobbied for years for more access to records about nuclear plants and other facilities, agencies now fear that such access may put the public at risk. "Recent events have focused additional security concerns on critical infrastructure systems," said a note posted online by the Office of Pipeline Safety within the Transportation Department. "At this time, [the office] is providing pipeline data to pipeline operators and local, state and federal government officials only." White House officials say they have not issued a blanket order to federal agencies to remove sensitive documents from government Web sites. "We would only hear about these things if we were asked to advise on them," said E. Floyd Kvamme, co-chairman of the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology. However, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said his agency is working closely with the White House and Department of Defense to assure its Web site does not disclose potentially dangerous information. "We have been reviewing all the information on the Web site with an eye to removing anything that might be helpful to potential terrorists," said NRC spokesman Breck Henderson. For instance, if the site contained the exact geographic coordinates of a nuclear plant, that information would be removed, he said. "If we're a little overzealous in removing things, if there's something on there you really want, give us a Freedom of Information Act request," Henderson said. EPA emergency coordinator Jim Makris said he personally made the decision to remove--at least temporarily--information about risk-management plans submitted by industrial facilities as required by 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. The Risk Management Program Web site gave detailed information about 15,000 facilities, including executive summaries, emergency plans, accident histories and chemicals used on site. That data had been on the Internet since late 1999. "We just wanted to get it out of the way," Makris said. "We have made no decision that it will stay off." The information is still available to emergency managers, firefighters and others who need it, he said. Web security experts say the steps taken by the agencies are only "half measures," because the material could have been previously downloaded and saved on users' hard drives. In addition, some of the reports are still available in paper form, said Elias Levy, chief technology officer for SecurityFocus, a security information company in San Mateo. "If someone really wants to get it badly, as they're assuming possibly a terrorist would, they still would be able to get it," Levy said. "You simply have to jump through a lot of hoops. What they're going to end up doing is discouraging the public from obtaining the information, not necessarily discouraging the terrorists from doing so." The Government Printing Office, which prints most government documents and runs a chain of stores, has not been asked to pull any books or reports, deputy general counsel Drew Spalding said. But Transportation Department spokesman Lenny Alcivar said reviews similar to the one being conducted by his agency are taking place throughout the federal government. "This is not meant to restrict information on the part of the public, but more importantly to allow the department and the public the maximum protections against security threats as it can," Alcivar said. "It's important that government, across the board, do all that it can to heighten safety measures while at the same time continue to be as open and responsive to the public as possible."

FW: [SL] Anthrax: potential case #3 in Virginia

begin FW: ---------------------------- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28277-2001Oct8.html <<In Virginia, officials said last night that they were monitoring a possible case of anthrax in a Northern Virginia man whose job may have brought him into contact with the company where the other two men worked. State and local officials said the Prince William County man entered the emergency room of Prince William Hospital in Manassas yesterday complaining of flu-like symptoms. Medical personnel on the scene responded quickly by performing tests to determine whether he had anthrax, meningitis or another disease, officials said. Officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were also on the scene and monitored the preliminary investigation. A germ culture from the man was transported last night by a State Police trooper from Prince William County to a state government laboratory in Richmond, officials said. "The state government was notified and we are following our established procedures," said M. Boyd Marcus Jr., chief of staff for Virginia Gov. James S. Gilmore III (R). "We cannot confirm at this point whether he has developed anthrax or not.">> --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the strangelove list located at http://www.strangelove.cc To unsubscribe from the list, e-mail: talk-unsubscribe(a)strangelove.cc To get help from a warm body, e-mail: talk-owner(a)strangelove.cc

Re: How Can Water Distribution Systems Be Kept Secure?

UV is actually a very good disinfectant. It works by damaging the DNA/RNA of bacteria and virii. There is evidence of some viruses being re-activated by sunlight. UV coupled with a primary disinfectant like Cl makes a pretty safe system. The 4ft GE Quartz UV bulbs are powerful. The water should be clear - turbid water attentuates the UV too much. In very poor places where many children die of dehydration because of contaminated water and where there is little or no money for water systems, aid workers have taught the kids to put water into clear plastic drink bottles ( the kind our landfills are clogged with ) and leave it in the sun. It works quite well. How are RO systems at removing microorganisms? Mike
