        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.

          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.

      Yes, and once-upon-a-time (if I’m remembering correctly) Condoleeza Rice and/or Colin Powell cited this device as evidence of WMDs in Iraq to the United Nations Security Council.

      Dude died years ago. So either McAffee is so fucking persistent even killing it won’t stop it/him. Or it’s someone fucking around under his name.

    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)

    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.

    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.

      All proteins are peptides but not all peptides are proteins. Peptides are chains of aminoacids, when they’re long enough, then they’re called proteins.
