Mind-Boggling Details Emerge About Ricin Letter
The Blaze ^ | 4/17/13 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 04/18/2013 8:39:00 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Suspect: ‘I’m on the Hidden Front Lines of a Secret War’
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, of Tupelo, Miss., has been arrested in connection with ricin letters that were sent to both Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and President Barack Obama,” The New York Times reports. Initial reports listed the suspect as “Kenneth Curtis,” however, the Times updated its report with the corrected name.

The letters, which were intercepted by sorting facilities before they reached their intended targets, were signed: “I am KC and I approve this message.”

“We have an investigation that is going on that has got local and federal authorities working together,” said Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson.

A few hours before federal officials announced the arrest, TheBlaze was contacted by bloggers at Lady Liberty 1885 who had noticed some key similarities between a “Kevin Curtis” from Tupelo, Miss. and the person suspected of sending the ricin letters.

Among several other similarities, Kevin Curtis used the phrase “This is KC and I approve this message” in a previous Facebook post — the same exact phrase included in the ricin-laced letters

Additionally, the person who sent the ricin letters used this particular quote from Dr. John Raymond Baker to make his point: “To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance.” Kevin Curtis uses the same quote in the “About” section of his Facebook page.

The same individual lists an address in Tupelo, Miss. — the city authorities say the suspect currently resides. The last message posted on Curtis’ Facebook page was roughly two hours before his arrest was reported.

Kevin Curtis describes himself as a Christian, but not a “bench warming church going judgmental hypocrite.” Under political views he lists himself as an “Independent.” A call made to the phone number provided on his Facebook page went unanswered.

They’re a damn weed. My mother had one in her backyard. I had to rent a backhoe to pull it out. The local agriculturalist said it was a castor plant.

When I was a kid, my grandmother grew castor bean plants, but she called them “mole” beans. At the end of the season, she would put back her seed for next year and use the rest of the beans to kill moles. She would use a stick to open a hole in the mole runs and drop the beans in there.

That is exactly my thought. He espouses Christian values even though he is a democrat. That probably has ticked off many of his fellow democrat friends. I could see someone that hates him taking a few phrases from his FB page with some ricin and send it in to get him put away.

Using phrases right from his FB page would be too stupid, even for a democrat, unless he was literally wanting to get caught.

Its an unlikely patnership...everything that liberals hold near and dear is completely at odds w/ Christianity. This must be a case of redefinition...

***
Well, I have noticed that this is one of their latest trends, i.e., adopting the symbols and the label associated with Christianity. For example, I know I have seen half-dressed skanks on TV wearing crosses, which dangle in their cleavage.

If they call themselves Christian yet continue to act the way the immoral Rats always do, they likely see themselves as watering down the identity and, thus, the true message of Christianity.
