Attempted ricin assasinations

Ricin is sent to Trump: Third envelope containing poison intercepted | Daily Mail Online

Thank God the letters were intercepted.

Events are beginning to get escalate. The left's hatred is really being exposed.

This story which amounts to a credible assasination attempt on the Secretary of defense and President of the United States will barely be reported elsewhere.

 

[Deplorable Me]

And the left is worried about ice cubes and beer?

I bet the sender isn't a Republican.

WTF would they send one to the CNO for?
Some green tree freak

Has that shit ever worked against a head of state? How original is that?

I think what's implied by attempting to poison the sec def and potus is terrible.

It demonstrates that there are people willing to shoot Congress republicans playing baseball and now trying to poison the highest people of the trump admin.

Its another escalation in the "resist" crowd to get one step closer for open civil war. This is so far beyond civil discourse it's not even comparable. We're fracturing at an alarming pace.

Suspected Ricin-Laced Mail Sent to U.S. Defense Secretary
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Tuesday it had received mail suspected of containing the deadly poison ricin, including an envelope that a U.S. official said was addressed to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

The Pentagon said in a statement it had put its mail facility under quarantine and that the FBI was analyzing the envelopes.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the envelopes initially tested positive for ricin after being detected by Pentagon police on Monday at a mail sorting facility.

The facility is on the Pentagon compound but not in the main building.

Ricin is found naturally in castor beans but it takes a deliberate act to convert it into a biological weapon. Ricin can cause death within 36 to 72 hours from exposure to an amount as small as a pinhead. No known antidote exists.

So a former Navy guy did it. Packages sent to Pentagon that tested positive for ricin are suspected to have been mailed by a former Navy sailor, officials say

I don't know much about chemical agents but is it difficult to manufacture ricin? I mean, is it difficult to make? Did this guy have help (specifically from some old Navy buds)? How deep does this conspiracy go? Tinfoil firmly in place btw.

President Trump is an American Patriot... He loves our country... He longs for how great our country once was.
He didn't have to have this shit, in his, or his families life. He could of took his billions of dollars
and lived out his life in utter luxury.

Fuck globalism, Fuck the Democrats.... God bless President Donald J Trump... God bless America.

The working class in America has a voice again. The working class has representation again... MAGA !

Nope it's relatively easy. Made from castor beans. According to the internet. I Never tried or have intent of making ricin.

The asshole put a return address on it? Either he was framed or he is really stupid.

Do they really think the president just opens random mail sent to him. That its not screened first. This isnt the Obama administration where randos can climb the white house fence and run inside. This is an assassination attempt and should be treated as so.


And also

In todays age I did not want to even look it up on how to make ...

I doubt it is tremendously complicated. Many people who have worked with "glycoproteins" (proteins with sugars attached), including myself, have used ricin that is bound to different insoluble substrates (agarose beads for example). For example, this company sells a bunch of "immobilized lectins" for protein affinity chromatography - Home - EY Laboratories, Inc. Interesting that immobilized ricin is not offered. I haven't used it since the early '90s, but then people weren't using it as a weapon.

Stage an attempted assassination and see who cheers. Just a thought.

The article states "...at least two of the envelopes contained castor seeds -- the substance from which the poison ricin comes from." Seems a little weird.

From the article
Ricin is a poison that can take several different forms, but as a purified powder it can be deadly. It's also one of the easiest poisons to manufacture.

So in that state it was not poisonous ?

You'd have to consume a number of them, but not a whole lot and they have to be chewed well, according to this PubMed article - A Case of Castor Bean Poisoning. These beans are the source of castor oil, which is disgusting, but harmless.
