Even if it's not...I don't care.
The question is, why didn't the FBI follow up on the tip about this guy who had a weapon saying he wanted to shoot people.
The government acid project was MKUltra. Growing up in the 70's I wished I was one of their subjects. It was a real thing going on. Supposedly even dosed some famous people too so as to spread their manipulation quicker. Anyway, Google it. I find it interesting.
Helluva a good story there, The forensic lead that came late into the case and eventually cracked it, has a good book out on it. Supposedly a movie on the way as well.
I'm not saying people should mail bombs or anything remotely like that. I just believe dude was rather normal on the cusp of genius even at one time. Our government had discovered acid and wanted to see if they could change peoples beliefs or alter their perception on certain subjects with it. They succeeded in doing so, just took them a while to get the dose right I'm sure.
Can't remember that scientists name that worked at this germ warfare base. They dosed him out by some lake in a cabin. He ran out into the water and communed with nature is how the story goes. Had such a coming to Jesus moment he realized he could no longer live with making the bio weapons and be mellow lol. He tries to quit his crazy high security clearance job and the C.I.A. threw him out of a 17 story window. The documents are all public now but it took the guys family 30 some odd years to get the truth... aaaand a settlement lol.
I'm not some anti American idiot just to be clear. I'm just a sucker for a good story and that crap interests me. I wonder if they had never dosed ol' Ted for like a year straight until he left Harvard and a large part of reality with it. If they would have had another case that the FBI spent 20 years worth of resources trying to figure out who one guy was because he drove a couple states to mail everything!! We would have learned it eventually I guess once computers started compiling data on everybody. Can't mail a bottle rocket now and not be put on some watch list lol.
Not a rant, and it is interesting. I've heard a lot of the backstory behind the whole LSD/CIA thing and it is really fascinating. The hard part to know is, especially with those agencies is what really is truth.
Not only that, but how far has that research come since then? Why can't we drop a mellow the hell out bomb yet? Give me a bunch of scientists and government funding and I'll have the mellow out bomb in production within two years lmao!
You do know that in the FBI, their are separate departments working on separate things, right?? As in, the entirety of the FBI is not being used for the sole purpose of the Russia investigation? They have a terrorist department that works specifically and only on terrorists!!! Why can no one seem to understand this?!?!?
and their are local field offices etc... I get it. I do however maintain if they had put 1000th of the effort into Cruz as they have Trump, 17 kids would be alive today.

5 ups, 7y
Yes, and I DO agree that they defiantly f**ked up on this. not because of Trump, but the defiantly screwed up.
Mass murders happen all the time in this country. But one happens whole the fbi is investigating everyones favorite bad tan and suddenly we're blamomg the fbi. Lul
If J. Edgar was REALLY back at the helm, he'd drop kick Dimwit Donnie all over DC, then toss his traitorous a-- in the deepest darkest cell he could find. J. Edgar was a lot of things, but he wouldn't have tolerated a Russian crime family in the WH.
