My conspiracy theory : AOL-time warner behind Anthrax attacks

[Valhalla1]

so here's one for the buffs- AOL - Time Warner behind the anthrax in the mail... people fear the mail because of anthrax, causing the already struggling usps to lose more business, people turn to email to communicate more, more newbies join AOL and they become even more monstrosly powerful. they own CNN, so they can broacast anthrax fear tactics 24/7 to millions of people, and take advantage of an already schocked nation


There is already enough issues to deal with regarding anthrax without you adding more rumors, especially one as stupid as this.

hmm.. good point on the headquarters. have to rethink this one..

and this of course is part of a braoder scheme in which AOL controls millions of peoples PC's when they sudenlly attack, in ted turner's brilliant scheme to become the ruler of the once free world

The backlash of getting caught would be too much for them to face. But it could be possible.
