The lamestream media told you:
“More than 30 letters containing a suspicious powder were mailed to Chase bank branches and federal banking regulators’ offices in nine cities, authorities said Tuesday in what was being investigated as a first, if extreme, public backlash over the nation’s financial crisis,” says Lara Jakes Jordan of the AP.
“Initial tests on the powder proved negative for poisonous or otherwise dangerous toxins, the FBI said. An FBI spokesman in Oklahoma, where eight letters turned up, said local preliminary assessments showed the powder was harmless calcium,” she writes. http://tinyurl.com/5jgbbf
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
This story is false on its face because it can’t be an “extreme public backlash over the nation’s financial crisis,” since it was the work of one person not the public. That’s hopelessly bogus editorializing in the story’s lead, plus the motivation is currently unknown. No apology for the fear-mongering blame-the-public remark is expected.
This story is false on its face because the white powder cannot possibly be “harmless calcium” as the AP claims the unnamed FBI spokesman said. Reporters and editors, known to have little understanding of chemistry or natural sciences, failed to catch the obvious error before it went out to tens of millions of unsuspecting victims of the government school system, who are also known to have little understanding of chemistry or natural sciences.
Calcium is a highly reactive soft gray metal and not a white powder. It combines with moisture with explosive intensity and is therefore extremely dangerous as well as toxic. Toxic means poisonous, but because the material is so explosively reactive, there’s really no way to swallow it. The reporters didn’t know enough to ask.
Calcium phosphate, the stuff in milk your Mom told you to drink so you could get your “calcium” and be strong is obtainable as a white powder, as are other calcium compounds, if you know where to look.
Anyone seeking to put white powder in an envelope, which is a serious crime if intended to threaten or cause alarm, could use cheap and plentiful talcum powder, confectioner’s sugar, plaster of Paris, baking flour, corn starch, MSG, Sweet ‘n’ Low stolen from a diner or myriad other goods easily found in any grocery store, before they would need to locate white powdered calcium compounds at steep prices. The FBI could not be reached for comment.
