Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that Your hand of protection continues to cover our beloved country. Thank You for the vigilance that has kept our elected officials and staff from possible harm. Give wisdom and haste to those now entrusted with testing, that the identify of the substance may be quickly known, as well as the source. Let no harm filter through our nation's capitol ... let no harm befall anywhere, for we covet the safety and protection of all our citizens.

Continue to press other nations that they expend all in their efforts to thwart every plan of the enemy, for the enemy seeks the weakest point to release its venom upon the innocent. Turn the eyes of the people to the real conflict that rages ... turn our thoughts and our prayers to the Throne of Grace, for the battle is spiritual ... "be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6

In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

The one glaring detail I see is the date that was chosen for the sending of the Ricin. Just seems to coincide with the Between the Eids stuff that has been talked about so much lately.

It has not been reported if it was indeed mailed at this point, or I have not seen it. I'd certainly like to look at teh handwriting on the envelope and of any letter if there was one.

>>Heard that several people have become ill at the capitol building the past hour<<

Where did you "hear" this? Link please.

I've been told over DC scanner. Searching for a link to DC police scanner now, so I can hear for myself.

Thank you for your concern, will survive and see the sun soon...I hope.

In the early 1970's someone imported some hippy beads and they were made with Castor Beans (source of ricin), they killed a baby or two that chewed on them.

They are a lovely seed, about the size of a dime or flattened marble, with spots, brown, white, orange, and black. Very striking.

I grew them for years, to repel gophers.

My hope that these people feeling "ill" are just a result from the stress of possibly encountering a potential bio-weapon. People can actually talk/think themselves into being ill. I know myself that just the thought of being anywhere near a source of ricin would make my undershorts unusable. During these episodes, expect a lot of stress related illnesses, complications.

You are getting there.

Go to etext.org and read the articles under Politics, it is all there.

The majority of our teachers and reporters are pushing communism or muslism or both.

I thought that I knew most of what was going on, but after going to etext, found that I know very little of the truth.

The MIM link is still a "today" group, some of the others are hidden, they can only be reached from etext.

Have found other hidden sites, you can copy the URL exactly and it will not work.

I like Savages description better "Red diapered Doper Baby",
some of us thought for years that the sudden push for using dope and pot was deliberately pushed by the communists.

I still go with that thought. Keep them doped and you can take all they have, they won't care.

Under the "Crafts" listings for groups at Yahoo Groups, I learned 2 things, that they child porn is under family sites, " It is OK to post the pictures of your nude children"............

But I was shocked at the 'groups' who say they are teens and older and form groups to talk about wearing diapers.

No, not from need, it is a new thrill thing, "I wore my diaper to school today"..............

I find it so sick, that I couldn't really put a name on it, but rather a fear of insanity,.

Would be curious to know who started this diaper wearing for fun? Why?

Maybe some sicko, who gets his kicks by leading fools down sick paths?

Dangers of Ricin /CNN LIVE TODAY Transcript

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Authorities are waiting for final test results on what's suspected to be ricin poison found in a Senate office building. Joining us from Washington now to talk about ricin and its deadly potential is Jonathan Tucker, he is director of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Program at the Monterey Institute for International Study. Thanks for being with us here.

JONATHAN TUCKER, MONTEREY INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDY: Good to be with you, Daryn.

KAGAN: Let's talk about ricin. First of all, the good news, this is not something you just stumble upon easily.

TUCKER: Yes. But it is relatively accessible compared to other biological warfare agents. And that's the source of the concern about ricin.

(CROSSTALK)

KAGAN: ... finding it and then making it. So let's talk about just kind of finding it in nature. You have a castor bean. You have to actually do something to the castor bean to make the ricin, correct?

TUCKER: Right. Castor beans are grown all over the world. They have industrial uses. They used to be used as a laxative many years ago. But now castor oil, which is extracted from castor beans, is widely used as an industrial lubricant.

And a million tons of castor beans are processed every year in countries such as Brazil , China and India. And what's left over after the oil is extracted is about 5 percent ricin by weight.

So this is a relatively accessible poison. And that's the cause of concern about it.

KAGAN: But the making of it, if someone did have an evil intent, the bad news is it's pretty easy to figure out how to do that.

TUCKER: Right, in fact cookbooks or recipes are available on the Internet. And there are publications such as "Silent Death" or "The Anarchist's Cookbook" that provide recipes for extracting ricin toxin from castor beans. It's a relatively simple process.

KAGAN: And how do protect yourself from it?

TUCKER: Well, the best way to protect one's self is by wearing a protective mask. There is otherwise no antidote when one is exposed. You just have to be treated symptomatically, particularly if the agent is inhaled.

It can be delivered either as an aerosol, in food, or even injected. And in fact it has been used as an assassination weapon in the past. There was a Bulgarian dissident in 1978 who was assassinated by the Bulgarian secret service using a pellet gun disguised as an umbrella in London.

So, it has been used as an assassination weapon in the past.

KAGAN: When you're looking at the global chemical and biological threat out there, where would you rank ricin, let's say, in terms of compared to like a dirty bomb or compared to anthrax?

TUCKER: The real concern about ricin is not that it's the most deadly biological weapon but it's probably the most available because castor beans, as I mentioned, are produced industrially all over the world. The -- what remains after the oil is extracted is 5 percent ricin by weight, fairly easy to extract.

So even though ricin is much less deadly than anthrax, for example, its accessibility is what makes it a real threat. And We know that al Qaeda, for example, has been interested in extracting ricin from castor beans.

KAGAN: Which will bring some more questions when we bring you back and talk to you a little bit more. Jonathan Tucker, thank you for being with us and answering our questions about ricin.

"It will start with the world calling for peace, then there will be an internal revolution in America, started by the Communists.

Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems.

Then from the oceans, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries which I cannot remember(in other prophecies he names N.K.) will attack. The Russians will bombard the nuclear warehouses in America, America will burn."

The above is an excerpt from one of Dumitru Duduman's prophecies.

I've been watching for a big event like a huge riot started during one of thier antiwar protests. But maybe it's more progressive.

It's all bread and circuses, keep the multitudes entertained, and you can get away with murder.
