The FBI is investigating a letter laced with a toxic chemical and filled with threats and antisemitic symbols that was sent anonymously to an environmental voters group in New Mexico.
It was directed at Conservation Voters New Mexico, the state Democratic Party and state Rep. Nathan Small. The lawmaker, a Las Cruces Democrat, co-sponsored a statute that commits New Mexico utilities to a carbon-free energy system by 2045, the Albuquerque Journal noted.
A tested sample of the material discovered in the letter sent Wednesday contained ingredients of a potent toxin used in terrorist attacks, according to a statement by the voters group, an affiliate of the national League of Conservation Voters. The substance, though, was in an inert form that was not harmful, according to the statement from the environmental group.
But whoever carried out this vicious act was clearly intending harm, Demis Foster, the groups executive director, said in the statement.

You post again and again about this.
I try in my comments, but I am not posting as often.
But for some unknown reason the seriousness of the 35 year propaganda campaign that has poisoned the imaginations of a generation now are utterly ignored.
It is all fox news fault, or DTs. But they just reaped the result of this cheap cheap cheapest propaganda campaign ever launched.
All supported by universities.
Why the hell is this still not taken seriously?

(6,860 posts)Voting population statistics 101 says one third is stupid/crazy, one third is 180 the other way, one third goes the way the wind blows. They vote on days of ill winds, twice within 20 a year span, and with a little help from the electoral college we have 2 presidents elected by a flat-out minority of the voters. That's something no one ever thought could ever happen in America. Minority rule, without so much as a peep from the political class.
