The CIA Accidentally Left 'Explosive Training Material' on a School Bus

By Elizabeth McLaughlin

The Central Intelligence Agency accidentally left stable “explosive training material” in a school bus last week after concluding a routine training exercise.

The Loudoun County, Virginia, school bus unknowingly took elementary and high school students to and from school on Monday and Tuesday with the material under the hood of the bus.

On Wednesday, the CIA was notified that the explosive training material, while inert, was found in the bus during a maintenance check.

On Thursday the CIA said in a press release , that it had worked with local authorities to recover all of the explosives.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department also issued a press release on the incident, calling the material “incredibly stable.”

my friend applied to them and they lost his application for over 1 year.

it’s also part of their culture too often abandon their people in the field.

people think it’s sort of like the military but in that respect it is absolutely unlike the military.

This stuff is “incredibly stable” but the press release apparently refers to it as “explosives”.

Hmmmmmmm. Not reassuring.

OH NOES, the CIA left imitation explosives on a school bus, that’s horrible, but at least they didn’t leave loaded weapons in unlocked vehicles like the police and FBI only to have them stolen and used in murders and other crimes.

Big deal, I’m sure we have all left our highly explosive material on a school bus at one time or another.

Oh wait, we are civilians and would spend a life time in prison for doing it.

Nothing CIA does is an accident. As the German journalist stated-—the CIA controlled all his articles for over 24 years (to control the perceptions and attitudes of the useful idiots).

The super-elite sodomites (Lucifereans/Kissinger/Soros-types) founded and controlled most of our “magazines” and “newspapers” since JP Morgan bought all the APs and established the CIA to control all our information and politicians. As Solzhenitsyn stated in 1978, all our MSM was worse than Pravda, but Russians actually knew they were fed lies and propaganda 24/7 and Americas “thought” they were getting the truth and had a “free” press.

“Nothing CIA does is an accident.”

I take it you don’t know any people who work there. Their opinion might be a bit less exalted.

I suppose if you were a complete unmitigated f*ck-up, you'd seek out a job that offers complete classified anonymity too.

Well, the cover up, of course, was that there was flammable material in the fuel tank, as well.

This and the other examples you cite point to a disturbing lack of procedure, discipline, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness in today’s security agencies.

However, I see this in just about every facet of society today.

All I can do is stay prepared to protect my person, my family, and what’s mine.

Those amongst us who’ve never left explosive materials on a school bus can cast the first stone.

Let’s see: it’s explosive, it’s inert, it’s incredibly stable.
Gotcha.

“a job that offers complete classified anonymity too. “

I guess the people I knew didn’t get that message. They weren’t all that secret.

Explosives can be "incredibly stable", in the sense of not going off unless triggered by a detonator.
