In winded and breathless voices: News flash!!! Bruce Ivins also possessed the toxic liquid di-hydrogen-oxide which is a powerful solvent and can be 'highly toxic' officials have said and has killed or been implicated in the deaths of millions or perhaps billions of people in the last thousand years. Small amounts are used in some areas of research but what troublees investigators is the massive quantity of the substance that was stored in his office and the haphazard way in which it was stored. It was found in small plastic roughly flask shaped containers stacked in the office closets. The containers were not viewed as being 'child resistant' and could have potentially leaked their contents and caused massive damage to the building and anything in the floors immediately below if they fell to the floor.
Officials also found several boxes of yellow sticks containing a long chained molecule that has been linked to several subversive groups and has facilitated attacks on the government and the many agencies that are working hard to keep America safe. These devices have been phased out of most research labs and their use is viewed as an oddity in today's modern research offices due to their highly destructive potential for lab equipment and research materials. Their use is viewed by many researchers as reckless, costly and potentially extravagant. There are more stable and easier to work with alternatives that are less expensive and easier to track.
'Unnamed White House officials' said that the combined stash of chemicals amounted to a 'treasure trove' of agents that could rain destruction on the country. They pledged a full scale investigation into who supplied these items to a known psychopath and whether government funds were improperly used to procure these substances.
They assure us that the substances were handled with all due care and that never was the public in danger. All road blocks were cleared within hours after the cleanup operation was concluded. This case continues to produce many unanswered questions.
Film at eleven...
(What were the substances? Di-hydrogen-oxide is the chemical name for water: H2O. The yellow sticks? Ordinary 'number 2' pencils.)
