FBI Foils Plot To Build Strange X-Ray Weapon, Possibly Targeting President Obama
ABC News ^ | 6/19/2013 | MIKE LEVINE

Posted on 06/19/2013 10:15:08 PM PDT by GraceG

A New York man who allegedly wanted to kill President Obama and apparently blamed him for the recent Boston bombings has been arrested for trying to build and detonate a weapon of mass destruction.

Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, of Galway, N.Y., spent months designing and constructing an X-ray system that would emit deadly amounts of radiation and could be detonated remotely, according to the FBI. Crawford recruited Eric J. Feight, 54, of Hudson, N.Y, to join in the plot, and both were arrested Tuesday, the FBI said.

Crawford and Feight allegedly planned to hide their weapon in a truck and FBI experts said it would have been "functional" and "lethal."

According to the FBI, Crawford cited "a political figure" and a Muslim organization as "potential targets." Sources familiar with the investigation identified the "political figure" as Obama.

I thought X-ray killer beams were the work of science fiction....

So apparently they actually exist...

If I built one it would be only to knock UFOs out of the sky, perhaps the occasional Unmanned Spy Drone too...

Are these tea party terrorists making X-ray Weapons? Did they catch them by their texts?

But the FBI couldn’t stop the Boston bombers, right?

The FBI is REAL good at tracking down anyone who ISN’T moslem.

Oh, now ABS is picking ridiculous this up.

Let’s see, a member of the KKK who was trying to make deals with Jewish Synagogues to get them to buy an exotic Radiation Ray gun which was not operational and fopr which he had no radiation supply.

Oh, and of course, how could I forget, he was also a Tea Party member...which is really the whole point of the government’s story and the MSM parroting it.

You can’t make this Bravo Sierra up...unless of course you are the Obama administration and you have a bunch of lemming, brain-adled followers.

I wonder if Elijah Muhammad has one of these on board his mother ship hovering above the earth?

I bought the x-ray glasses out of the back of a comic book. They didn’t work.

That kinda messes with the media narrative that “Tea Party Terrorists” are so dumb it is a wonder they can tie their own shoe laces....

How did they get caught? Someone turn them in? I don’t see how any surveillance or routine techniques would have tipped the FBI with just two men involved. They would have flown under the radar easily. Something here is amiss.

The dental hygienist assures you the X-rays are perfectly safe, but then she always leaves the room.
Concerned for her own precious bodily fluids, yes, that’s it.

Can't be, the TEA Party is anti-science, remember?

" Ultimately, with help from the undercover agents, Crawford and Feight acquired the necessary parts... "

ONCE AGAIN, another sting op by the FBI, which does not seem to catch any terrorists until they blow things up, so they have to manufacture them.
