[ET(end tyranny)]

I heard someone on FNC a few days ago talking about how people shouldn't buy gas masks because you can fall asleep and suffocate..... anyone got any numbers on how many suffocated in Israel during Desert Storm??? I found the comment odd... and wondered if it were meant to get people to not purchase masks simply because so many manufacturer's have said that they are on back order... imagine calling around and finding out that so many have been bought recently and now you have to wait months??? Would make you wonder wouldn't it?

The 'swim' part is weird, I still think water some how.

I think it's a metaphor, only because he keeps referring to an "abyss"

"They said something about it suffocating people when they open the can, and then said something about "it all works by the pressure" or something like that. They gave it a weird name I'd never heard before."

As I recall, the probable reference was to hydrogen cyanide -- released into ventilation systems. The effect of cyanide is that it blocks the lungs' absorption of oxygen so that the victim suffocates.
