NYPD Warns of Chlorine Terror Risk

AP Wednesday February 13 2008

NEW YORK (AP) - Undercover police secretly set up a
fake company to demonstrate how easily and anonymously
a terrorist could purchase chlorine on the Internet for a
deadly chemical strike against the city.

A videotape - prepared for a briefing Wednesday of private
security executives - discloses for the first time the
results of the operation.

The purpose was to assess the ease or difficulty with
which a terrorist in the United States could acquire large
quantities of chlorine without being detected by law
enforcement or intelligence agencies,” a narrator says on
a copy of the video obtained by The Associated Press.

The conclusion: “At the present time, few if any barriers
stand in his way.”

4. Great!! promote this to happen..NYPD!!!(assholes!) Any pool supply store has it

5. The next step: all chemicals must be inventoried and licensed

and the NYPD will control the licenses. That's what they're trying to do on biological or chemical attack or release sensors in NYC. 20 years from now they'll be like the PLA in China - handing out licenses to favored individuals.

6. File it under "Authorities Work To Keep Population Terrorized"

Significantly fewer barriers now stand in the way of government abuse and manipulation of the population than existed pre-911...
and the "authorities" want to make MORE that way.

Work out the math. It doesn't even take Algebra:
"The Government" is a proximate threat, perhaps the most proximate threat, to our sense of security.

Whatever in the hell happened to 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself?'
