Skunk Water: A Weapon That Uses Stench to Control Crowds (perfect for caravans)
science.howstuffworks.com ^ | Nov 12, 2015 | Sarah Gleim

Imagine being sprayed by Pepé Le Pew and an army of his malodorous friends. You'd rush home and soak in a tub of tomato juice to try to get rid of the smell, right? Now imagine a stench that has nothing on what those white-striped stinkers can douse — that's one weapon being used for crowd control in Israel, and it's coming soon to the United States.

The Israel Defense Forces have been waging war against rioters with a nonlethal — albeit truly putrid — product called skunk water, or just skunk since 2008. The spray, which was developed by Israeli firm Odortec, is said to be 100 percent organic and harmless, and consists of an extremely foul-smelling liquid with the viscosity of water that can be dispersed over a large area using a water cannon. Odortec says the overpowering stench of Skunk drives rioters away — and keeps them away, "effectively shutting down escalating situations."

Skunk was first used in August 2008 in the Palestinian village of Ni'lin in the West Bank. Border police squirted the liquid at demonstrators from containers carried on their backs. Since then, it's been used regularly on water cannons against Palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. But Israel has also started used it against its own citizens, as in the case of Ultra-Orthodox Jews protesting compulsory military service in 2014.

*snip*

But it's not just Israeli police using Skunk water — it's now available to U.S. police forces, as well, thanks to U.S. distributor Mistral Security. In November 2014, after violent protests in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, stemming from the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, documents suggest the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department ordered several canisters of Skunk.

My guess is they already have a putrid aroma.

PRECISELY!

A heavy dose of skunk burns when you breath it.

“Now imagine a stench that has nothing on what those white-striped stinkers can douse — “

Ah yes journalism at its finest. Exact opposite of the point she’s trying to make.

[Great answer. Can’t prove a negative and fog of war against the 5th column as well as more cover for any possible field agents — and a touch of Caravan paranoia if there are no field agents.]

[There is a violent Muslim minority in India that invites routine retaliation. No fun being a Muslim in India, and a culture of terrorism. So the odds that some of these India nationals are Muslims from radicalized neighborhoods is close to 100%.]

RUSH Limbaugh: I actually like that in a way, I like making Schumer and Pelosi stand up for letting these people in. [snip]

[But remember — democrats are free to unite behind a sane suggestion at any time. And — they are getting vehicle support in Mexico. They could outride a hurricane. They could appear abruptly at the border. A MOAB mushroom cloud in the water near north Mexico would be an excellent wakeup call. There would, however, be cries of environmental consequences. So if its mainly in the air above the water, even better.]

One man who I suspect is well connected hinted that earthworks will be a major part of the plan. You bet they will!

So obvious.

But we must assume that they will get on wheels overnight at some point.

Why we have done nothing that I am aware of is unsettling. The ring leaders need to be punished or just disappeared. When they get to the border there will be no stopping them unless we want a massacre. If they do succeed, the next Caravan will be 100x more and so on.

That was my thought too. Use plane and helicopter dusters for different needs. The heli can float and really soak the unruly and determined ones until they give up.

Have back up planes and heli's loaded with tear gas if the stink spray doesn't quite do it. Both are considered safe. If both those still don't work; use the Microwave Cannons on them. Do all of this while they are still on the Mexican side of the border so we don't have to legally take them in for processing where 97% won't show up for court.
