Vanity - Las Vegas Ricin Presser - (just concluded)
FNC | 2-29-08 | Starwise

Posted on 02/29/2008 7:53:23 PM PST by STARWISE

Police are now revealing that firearms were found in that hotel room, along with an anarchist handbook tabbed to "Ricin."

Also, that this person also apparently spent some time at the Excalibur Hotel/ Casino. They sent a team over there to check for contamination and say nothing was found.

When the official was asked why they didn't mention the firearms in the earlier presser, he said: oh, I didn't know we didn't mention that.

The victim (terrorist on a dry run, perhaps) is 57 yrs. old. The male who came to claim his belongings is also in his 50's.

No mention was made of the health of the person in the hospital.

BUT .. this is NOT terrorism and all the Ricin has been secured. Right!

He ended the briefing after about 5 mins.

I have always thought the Anarchist Cookbook was a black op written by the CIA. It gives REALLY BAD directions for several things, directions that might get you killed if you followed them.

Danish Lutherans

Those Danish Lutherans! They can't get along with anyone. Look anywhere in the world where there is large scale conflict and guess who you find? Danish Lutherans! They are almost as bad as the Amish!

There’s a long article linked from Drudge now, beginning and ending with the compulsory statement that it was NOT terrorists.

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/global/story.asp?s=7943629

It says that the man went to the hospital with “breathing problems” and that he has “slipped into a coma.”

Sounds like it was caused by the ricin to me, although I’m not a medical person.

I’d love to have some NAMES and pictures of these people, the sick man and his “friend.”

Yep.

Maybe he lost all his life’s savings at the casinos and he was working on a “payback” plan.

And the Amish! Do you know how much explosive you can pack into a buggy? Lots!! And they load it with nails, too! Drive the buggy to the target and detonate it! Boom! They even make the horses wear special headgear on these buggy bombings.

They said the friend or relative that turned in the ricin spent one night at the Excalibur.

Don’t get too bound up on names, nationality or place of origin.

There’s been signs and indicators that the usual suspects, anarchos, the more rabid leftards, neo-nazis, etc have been joining up “with the cause” of their jihadi friends. Not converts. Not muslims. Just fellow travelers on the kill for kicks road.

Not saying this is the case this time. But we will see damage done by sympathetics working to support their trendy new cause soon enough.

Don't forget how they treat others not of their faith. Taxes levied on them simply bacause they worship differently! I think the term is Danegeld.

We made some very excellent explosives in high school following their directions. It’s the lack of delivery methods that’s dangerous.

It was NOT my fault the Chemistry teacher blew up that ventilation hood.

They have unique torture methods, like making the congregation sing all 20 verses of every hymn.

I would be afraid to even buy that cookbook or check it out from the library.

My father used to grow castor bean plants because they are neat. I think I knew the beans were poisonous but didn't know anything about ricin.

Geez, it makes you wonder what has been cooked up in a hotel room. We had one blow up here in a nice hotel downtown. Meth lab. Makes you want to stay home.

King Canute was a hoot. He tried to stop the tide. But the tide came in, He could not win. So he made non-Lutherans slaves.

And that is how the Danish Lutherans got involved in the worldwide slave trade!

They’re releasing not any information on this man...so, I guess it must not be an “angry white red neck.”

Must be some other ethnicity....and background.

Maybe the person was Swedish.

Waterboarding is nothing compared to that. Note that inherent in the appalling technique you have just described, the victim must stand for hours while they complete one hymn - no breaks. And when the interrogator says that it will be a medley of hymns - all verses, please - even the most hardened ones break. And ask for ricin-laced jello!

Maybe the person was Swedish.

Swedes are involved in exporting their religion all over the world by financing small startup churches in nondescript neighborhoods and then bringing in clerics that will teach the parishioners to hate outsiders and to start massive clandestine cheese factories in the basements.

Its gonna take a few hours to sanitize the perp’s web history and writings, purging everything that might cause America to overreact or commit hate crimes.

By tomorrow morning, the perp will be Ted Bartucci, a disgruntled plumber from Toledo.
