Threats Claim Nuclear Bombs Hidden All Over U.S.

[IScreamSundays]

CHICAGO (CBS 2) – The threats came in the mail and to date, there have been 25 letters that warn of nuclear bombs destroying America.

People who got them called the FBI and CBS 2′s Kristyn Hartman learned, the Bureau’s Chicago office is leading the investigation.

FBI Special Agent Andre Zavala said, “Yes, they alarmed a lot of people.”

Attorney Tracy Rizzo was alarmed. A number of days ago, an envelope, with a Chicago postmark and a hand-written address to her private investigations firm, came in the mail.

Be gentle. I am just posting what I found.

1. Who Gains the most by promoting Fear

[ck4829]

2. This sounds like the work of Robert Morey or one of his acolytes

Anti-Muslim pastor and friends who have been regularly claiming since 2002 that terrorists have smuggled in large numbers of nuclear weapons and trying to tell the FBI about this. I think they've stopped listening to him now, so they try a different approach.

[bigworld]

3. If this isn't the work of a local 13 year old boy

I'll eat my hat.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. Judging by the handwritting on the letter.. you may be right. nt

[CountAllVotes]

20. I doubt that

?

There is too much punctuation and capitalization of letters.

These days it seems that kids that are 13 years old write in all lower case with no punctuation and a lot of their "writing" resembles text messaging I've noticed.

:dem: :kick:

[rfranklin]

4. Yeah, they belong to the Pentagon...

I wonder which Dominionist in the military is writing these letters.

[mn9driver]

5. Radiation detectors are unbelievably sensitive.

If there were nukes hidden in US cities it's hard to imagine they would not be detected.

[CabalPowered]

8. Might have a look at this..

[mn9driver]

21. examiner.com is like blogspot.com for wannabe journo's

Anyone can post there. Here's the link to the news article on that interview written by the news outfit that actually did it:

http://www.10news.com/news/26814508/detail.html

Sort of the same set of facts, but written with a little more research and followup. The only thing this particular story implies is that IF nuclear material is coming into the US, it is being detected.

[CabalPowered]

24. Sorry it was the first link that came up

I watched the original report when it was first aired. I was striking at nothing more than.. yes, it appears our detectors are working.

[AndyTiedye]

28. and Fukushima Has Made All Those Sensitive Radiation Detectors USELESS

Anyone or anything flying in from Japan sets them off now.

Gonna get a lot worse soon, when the meltdown hits the groundwater. :nuke:

[Mrs. Overall]

Will duct tape and lots of canned tuna work in this scenario?

[Scuba]

6. The Koch brothers have nuclear bombs too? Well, that would explaing BHO's behavior. n/t

[Hugabear]

7. How much you wanna bet it's some teabagger who sent those?

terra terra terra

[HereSince1628]

9. Isn't this the plot to 24?

I never watched the show, but I saw some of the trailers, so I'm not sure.

I suppose that HSD and the FBI must treat it seriously, but really...
I think we are following an old script.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. More like the show Jericho. But I never watched 24.

[HereSince1628]

13. I had forgotten Jericho...

and I actually watched a few episodes of that.

[EC]

18. Jericho reminded me more of

Blackwater taking over...but yeah the initial incidence that caused the town to be taken over by the mercenaries were explosions all over the US by the Blackwater type group and some renegade politicians.

[cyberpj]

23. Yep. Too bad more people didn't know about Blackwater, er... I mean XE back then.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that they were the inspiration for that part of the show.

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. The reader comments underneath the story are worth it.

[Ozymanithrax]

12. So where would Ossama get 160 nuclear bombs...

and why the hell would his minions use a letter writing campaign. The wake up call, as some Conservative idiot once said, would be a mushroom cloud.

It is bullshit. If they had one they would use it. If they had 160, they would be among the most powerful nations in the world. Only the big five, China, Britain, France, Russia, and the U.S. have more.

[slackmaster]

14. Yeah, right

It's the Internet, folks.

[FLPanhandle]

15. LOL

On my list of things that I don't believe, this is right under the Santa Claus entry.

[MineralMan]

16. This probably relates, somehow, to the old bullshit from

the late 90s about "missing" Russian suitcase bombs. At the time this rumor circulated all over the Internet and via email letter campaigns. This new deal is probably a new version of that old hoax. Read about the orginal hoax, at its orgins:

[JohnnyRingo]

19. A real threat would have them explode just one first.

Then make their demands clear with the threat to continue detonating the others one by one.
If now a complete hoax by someone with mental problems, it's the old finger gun in the pocket trick.

[EC]

22. The letter says it's considered a suicide mission for them

yet the letter also states that the bombs are on remote control, so how does that work?

[apnu]

25. many modern suicide bombs work this way...

... there is the person with the device, and a handler. The handler has the detonate button. They get the the device in position and the handler blows up the bomb.

If you remember hearing about the suicide bomber in Russia in January... that was only partially successful because the remote detonator was a cellphone on the device that got some text spam and set the bomb off too early so the damage was not optimal.

[EC]

27. Oh yeah - saw that on MI-5 once

but wouldn't that be murder and not suicide? Or would it be assisted suicide?

[PoliticAverse]

26. Have they looked off the coast of Georgia... ?

[Strelnikov_]

29. I just knew Jennings & Rall was up to something n/t

[Hugabear]

30. This is very easy to debunk. If they had them here, they would have used them by now.

Why would they go through all the trouble to obtain that many nukes, smuggle them into the country, only to turn around and hide them? Why risk having the plot exposed or the nukes found. It just doesn't pass the sniff test. If they had any nukes in this country at all, they would have used them by now.

[totodeinhere]

31. Yes, there are nuclear bombs all over the US but they're not hidden.

They are the nuclear power plants.
