Hey, Piper I have been in and out today. A friend of mines mother pasted away and I been tied up. SCR1 posted the links to the video. My problem is I can hear the audio but can not see the video. Let me know if you have any luck seeing it.

[Revel]

Ohh...Sorry. I should be paying attention.

Loftus up.

talking about Debka's report (??) that Kay was shown all of the photos of where the WMD was trucked to in Syria.

says both the US and British "investigations" are plots, "gotchas" to setup the Dems before its revealed.

Do we have any idea what countries still get the smallpox vaccine and why we stopped?

[WestCoastGal]

Sounds like a plan!!!!!!! We can only hope.

[Revel]

Checking out Ricin................ What ricin is Ricin is a poison that can be made from the waste left over from processing castor beans.

It can be in the form of a powder, a mist, or a pellet, or it can be dissolved in water or weak acid.

It is a stable substance. For example, it is not affected much by extreme conditions such as very hot or very cold temperatures.

Ricin has some potential medical uses, such as bone marrow transplants and cancer treatment (to kill cancer cells). How you could be exposed to ricin

It would take a deliberate act to make ricin and use it to poison people. Accidental exposure to ricin is highly unlikely.

People can breathe in ricin mist or powder and be poisoned. Ricin can also get into water or food and then be swallowed.

Pellets of ricin, or ricin dissolved in a liquid, can be injected into people’s bodies.

Depending on the route of exposure (such as injection), as little as 500 micrograms of ricin could be enough to kill an adult. A 500-microgram dose of ricin would be about the size of the head of a pin. A much greater amount would be needed to kill people if the ricin were inhaled (breathed in) or swallowed.

In 1978, Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian writer and journalist who was living in London, died after he was attacked by a man with an umbrella. The umbrella had been rigged to inject a poison ricin pellet under Markov’s skin.

Some reports have indicated that ricin may have been used in the Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s and that quantities of ricin were found in Al Qaeda caves in Afghanistan. Ricin poisoning is not contagious. It cannot be spread from person to person through casual contact.

"...to setup the Dems before its revealed."

You have me a little confuse on that one.

Signs and symptoms of ricin exposure

The major symptoms of ricin poisoning depend on the route of exposure and the dose received, though many organs may be affected in severe cases.

Initial symptoms of ricin poisoning by inhalation may occur within 8 hours of exposure. Following ingestion of ricin, initial symptoms typically occur in less than 6 hours. Inhalation: Within a few hours of inhaling significant amounts of ricin, the likely symptoms would be respiratory distress (difficulty breathing), fever, cough, nausea, and tightness in the chest. Heavy sweating may follow as well as fluid building up in the lungs (pulmonary edema). This would make breathing even more difficult, and the skin might turn blue. Excess fluid in the lungs would be diagnosed by x-ray or by listening to the chest with a stethoscope. Finally, low blood pressure and respiratory failure may occur, leading to death.

Ingestion: If someone swallows a significant amount of ricin, he or she would develop vomiting and diarrhea that may become bloody. Severe dehydration may be the result, followed by low blood pressure. Other signs or symptoms may include hallucinations, seizures, and blood in the urine. Within several days, the person’s liver, spleen, and kidneys might stop working, and the person could die. Skin and eye exposure: Ricin in the powder or mist form can cause redness and pain of the skin and the eyes.

Death from ricin poisoning could take place within 36 to 72 hours of exposure, depending on the route of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, or injection) and the dose received. If death has not occurred in 3 to 5 days, the victim usually recovers.

We stopped because it was supposedly irradicated from the earth. Too bad the bio labs kept sample of it to distribute for biological warfare.

[Cindy]

Friends in low places, huh?

[Cindy]

Thanks.

[txhurl]

I totally suspect the three BA Miami->London deaths to be something like ricin.

[oceanview]

the Dems will be working themselves into a frenzy as this investigative committee gathers steam, they will be lying and leaking every day during the campaign. even now, they are hanging themselves out. If Syria does a Libya and tells us where the stuff is, the Dems are bagged. what are they going to say, Bush planted the stuff in Syria?

[Chaos]

Per your post 5012 see my post 4411.

[Calpernia]

They are being looked at.

[StillProud2BeFree]

Oops - sorry I didn't see that posting. I had never heard the song until my teenager played it for me today. Good catch!

[Revel]

OK...Now I see what you are reffering to. Thanks.

[Sean Osborne Lomax]

Rock on and rock solid.

We have a mission to complete. We will not stop until we are mission complete.

Any questions?

Good.

Move out as you have been.

(hate to sound so military, but we are soldiers in this war. Every one of us. Very much so.)

Interesting perception to the literal translation
