None died but 3 of the 6 were pretty sick for a while.<br /><br />If the guys who had the keys of carfentanil were really feeling lazy, they could just walk around with the stuff in a container and use a brush to apply it to surfaces when no one is looking. It wouldn't take that much gray matter to get that done without getting caught immediately.The Gray Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098168056466325559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-2547937313255308342018-08-12T15:24:47.749-07:002018-08-12T15:24:47.749-07:00So far, they're all low-hanging fruit.
If they...So far, they're <i>all</i> low-hanging fruit.<br />If they had access to eight MANPADS, they'd have fired off seven of them. That's how they roll.<br />We lost air travel for weeks after 9/11.<br />It was hard on the airlines, but the world didn't lose it's shit, and the economy didn't crater.<br />The knowledge would be out there that they cannot make them from scratch, their supply is finite, and it was just a temporary problem.<br />We would sooner make ghost towns of flight approach corridors to airports than surrender air travel, and in the interim, we'd round all of Team Mo up and send them to desert camps. There's precedent for that, too.<br /><br />If my choice is between air travel, or the residential wishes of 6M immigrants who never should have been admitted here, I'll let immigration courts under this administration sort that choice out.<br /><br />It'd be hard on the countries in Trashcanistan and Greater Shitholia. Elsewhere they'd probably just retrofit mil-spec countermeasures on civilian airliners, and that would be the end of that. We'd be flying again essentially care-free in a week or two, and enforcement of the no-missile-shooting rules would be by AC-130s circling major airports in this country.<br /><br />And if a nation-state source for the MANPADs was discovered, our reply would arrive via B-2 and B-52. It gets a lot less funny all around after that.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-61515201578079544502018-08-12T10:40:50.353-07:002018-08-12T10:40:50.353-07:00These guys are just the low hanging fruit. Wait fo...These guys are just the low hanging fruit. Wait for the first team. How will the economy be when six or eight teams, loaded with six or eight MANPADS each bring down loaded airliners in different cities at the same time? With no border control how hard will it be to pull that off? Will the fedgov even want to stop them if they learn about it in advance? No safe air travel will sink us. Then its game over. Remember "never let a crisis go to waste".

Problem solved.<br /><br />(Don't believe me: look what happened to the few lunatics who tried to open doors in flight after 9/11. At least one of them was literally smothered by the dog pile delivered by accountants and schoolteachers.)<br /><br />Carfentanil is a problem - and a very minor one - because unaware people are coming into contact with it.<br /><br />I've been wearing latex and nitrile gloves for decades pretty much 12 hrs/day, because of a rather weak and fragile virus. Firefighters have been wearing SCBA for decades before that, mainly for things that take <i>decades</i> to kill you right.<br /><br />The pre-hospital EMS and esp. LE crowd is just late to the party.<br />FFS, I had to school Border Patrol agents on gloves and N95 masks in 2005, despite TB being a thing since...shit, <i>ever</i>, when we called it "consumption".<br /><br />No offense to them, but street-smart as they are, most cops don't have Ph.D.s, if you know what I mean, and it doesn't help when agencies actively weed out the actual smart applicants, on purpose. (Google it.)<br /><br />Carfentanil is a nuisance-level problem, not a strategic kill-shot.<br />That doesn't mean that if you're the one who puts your foot into the punji pit, it isn't serious for you, but your problem is not the world's problem.<br /><br />Shit-dipped and sharpened bamboo stakes did not undo the entire US Army in Vietnam, and carfentanil, even 42 kilos of it, is not Godzilla rising out of Tokyo Bay.<br /><br />This is why the horror genre bores the shit out of me, from A to Z.<br /><br />Horror IRL looks like Monster Squad: a couple of teenagers with a .44, a crossbow, and a .44 magnum, kick the monsters' asses in about 90 minutes. Game over.<br /><br />Team Mo's big move here is the equivalent of jihadi dorm pranks, where "Hey, what if we put a kilo of carfentanil in a wastebasket over the door to the gym locker room! And put it in the sugar bowls at the dining commons!"<br /><br />Great idea, Achmed; give that one a try.<br /><br />Comedic hijinks follow. Followed by the football team dragging his ass behind a Chevy chained by your balls for a couple of miles, then putting what's left into a coffee can, tamping it down with an 8-lb. sledgehammer, and shooting out of the old cannon at the city park.

Here in FL there have been NUMEROUS (...OK: Aesop... Here in FL there have been NUMEROUS (27+ from my research since the beginning of the year) stating that AT LEAST 20 'First Responders' (i.e. fuzz, EMTs, firefighters.. what have you, the majority being cops) have been poisoned by Carfentanil or a Fentanyl type opioid. The Polk County and Hillsborough County sheriff's department have as STANDARD ISSUE a narcan shot equipped on their Basic Loadout... NOT for use on civvies, but IN CASE they "get hit" by a fentanyl product... For civvies they have ANOTHER bag for them... this's for their own protection, as frisking and searching suspects, we've had a couple of Deputies diggin in baggies to see 'whut-was-whut' ad go down within minutes from an O.D.... no fatalities thus far, but who knows?<br /><br />It apparently does NOT take ONLY inhalation/ingestion, but b/c of potency and micro-size 'bitz n' pieces' are EASIER absorbed thru the dermis, esp. if the individual is NOT gloved and/or sweating profusely... (Here in FL thats a given at this time of year... open pores anyone?) Instant 'hit'... the more the dust, the quicker the death.<br /><br />My point is that if this shit is THAT potent, forget the waterborne concept. 1 Kilo of prepared Carfentanil detonated in a trash can by an I.E.D. in a highly populated urban/compact A.O. (think business/financial district at 16:45 hours on say a Thursday.... keep the kafir of guard doncha know?),, the dust would cause MASSIVE casualties (between inhalation, never miNd the contact issue)<br /><br />Essentially, 1 kilo blown the right way, at the right time could immobilize an economic A.U. The decontamination itself would take months, while the market sorts itself out.<br /><br />Addendum: Ever notice these pricks go for second rate targets durin a 'practice run?" Kenya and Mozambique embassy strikes were done to see if they could do a joint multidistant attack. I worked...<br /><br />I think this run was test IMO... just sayingBigCountryExpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775633301416291951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-71470983359648029272018-08-11T19:34:24.550-07:002018-08-11T19:34:24.550-07:00Seems to me all the Boys in Black are wearing TSA ...Seems to me all the Boys in Black are wearing TSA rapist-gloves due to Fentanil's absorption rate...<br /><br />If Carfentanil is much more potent, wouldn't sprinkling it on common objects a lot of people touch, like doorknobs, handrails, fruit at the Whole Foods, magazines at the corner newsstand and such cause mass panic?<br /><br />Especially 30 armed couriers delivering a half-kilo each to 80-or-so seperate cells in different cities, planting it at the same time, coordinated by social media?<br /><br />Might have to loosen my tin-foil hat, I get too many white-man-terrrist-thoughts running through my dome...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
