    Caches of dihydrogen-oxide were discovered, a chemical which if inhaled can asphyxiate and cause death. The chemical was cleverly disguised with sweeteners and packed in containers making it look like a harmless treat.

    WARN YOUR CHILDREN!!!

    (Ie they found a six-pack of Sprite)

    Suuuuuure. Antifa is so fucking dumb, their genius plan is to sabotage the reflection pool, because that is the thing that will tear down the power of fascists. Hmm hmm, yeah sounds legit. For sure a better explenation than the corrupt guy getting the job because he’s buddies with Trump, without any consideration for any other company, while he cuts corners and cheaps out on shit which ends up with a lowsy job. Suuuuure. The guy looks super trustworthy, and totally not like a Disney villain, so he must be doing a good job. I mean, Trump personally chose him, and Trump is a god so he cannot make bad decisions, he never ever did in his entire life, even molesting kids was a great decision… Right?.. Right? But by sabotaging the reflection pool, antifa will be able to win the fight against Trump and his fascist oligarchs. Yeah, this is what they came up with.

    Anyone who believes this shit must have just enough braincells to be able to breath.

    The desperation in covering up the lost war against Iran is now so pathetic, they might just release the Epstein files next.

    Russia has been at war with Ukraine since 2019 and neither side has won. US has been at war with Iran and they lost within a few months. An illegal war started to cover up the Epstein files. Now a failed job of the reflection pool to cover up that lost war. The US keeps on amazing me they manage to find new lows.

    The Rock was the basis for false descriptions of the Iraqi chemical weapons program. Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service was led to believe Saddam Hussein was continuing to produce weapons of mass destruction by a false agent who based his reports on The Rock, according to the Chilcot Inquiry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_(film)

        It turns off your muscles’ ability to relax and then you flex to death. Normally because you’re no longer breathing.

            New phobia unlocked.

            I have had adductor/hamstring leg cramps in the past that were gnarly enough that my muscles bled. Big deep bruises coming up from underneath that looked like I had a broken bone or something.

        It enters your body through your eyes mouth nose anus penis and skin then you start violently coughing then your lungs stop working due to your muscles not being innervated correctly than you asphyxiate pretty painfully under convulsions. You need to get between 86 μg to 10 mg by intake over the skin to die but other effects are like losing your eyesight or a running nose which can be also permanent and need way less of a dose and it takes about 5-10 hours after dermal contact for the first symptoms

            Atropine, Pralidoxime, and Diazepam within 12 hours of a lethal dose should help a lot. This is assuming that the exposure is less than the ceiling limit or the IDHL limits cause at that point it doesn’t matter anymore.

        Fun fact, Mi6 plagiarized from the plot from The Rock to justify the invasion of Iraq.

        Specifically "the use of glass containers for chemical agents and the similarity of the description to those portrayed in The Rock "

          That is not really correct based on the available information. Look at the title of the article itself,

          The Rock movie plot ‘may have inspired MI6 source’s Iraqi weapons claim’

          The source of Mi6, claimed that Iraq had this. But Mi6 was clearly suspicious, because chemical ammunition are usually not stored in glass containers. This is given just below of the line you quoted,

          MI6 accepted this possible flaw to the intelligence, the report adds: “The questions about the use of glass containers for chemical agents and the similarity of the description to those portrayed in The Rock had been recognised by SIS. There were some precedents for the use of glass containers but the points would be pursued when further material became available.”

            The quote from the article is coming from a 2016 review of the original information passed on to America to justify the war. So they now recognize that it is bullshit from a movie, but that didn’t stop them from transferring the information back in the 00s.

          JFC… What a surreal damned world. That’s ludicrous, but if you look at what Trump say or does is doesn’t even come close.

          Even if true, there’s nothing “fun” about the origin story that led to a war killing over a hundred thousands and including some horrible war crimes.

          If it hit the water it would probably be fine water is very good at diluting stuff.

          Japan dumped the radioactive water they had from the meltdown and nothing really bad happened because again large bodies of water are great at diluting stuff.

          The only thing I can think of is if there was ground below it could have cracked and possibly got to the hostages.

            iirc that water released from japan wasn’t even that radioactive on its own before dilution, but nuclear scary stuff gets attention and clicks.

              If dumping that radioactive water is so harmless, then how do you explain the ningen?

          There were hostages on the island and if the pearl popped it would infect all of the hostages and possibly caught the wind to disperse over part of SF. Even one would have killed hundreds of people.

      Yes, and if I’m remembering correctly Condoleeza Rice and/or Colin Powell cited this device as evidence of WMDs in Iraq to the United Nations.
