I'm sure by now most of you have all heard about how it was that some supposedly crazy gun rights supporter allegedly sent two letters containing the poison ricin to 'Nanny Mike' Bloomberg and the director of his idiotic little group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign, Mark Glaze. The letters were said to make references to Mikey’s gun control efforts, saying something to the effect of, "This is a taste of what’s to come if you come to take my gun," although law enforcement, for some peculiar reason, is not willing to release the exact wording. Look, is it me or does this whole thing seem to be more than just a little too coincidental, that some moron would go out of his way to make sure any and all suspicion would be directed toward just the right group?
Now let me pose a little question to you. How many of you are familiar with the tactics of Saul Alinsky? I mean how many times have you heard about something like this being done only to find out later that the perpetrator turned out to be some nut from the left and for no other reason than to make it 'appear' as if it have been committed by those whom they oppose on some particular issue. In this case it's Mikey's pet project of gun control that we're supposed to believe sufficiently riled up some supposed gun nut to the point where they thought sending a poison letter to old Mikey was a good idea. But I'm curious, couldn't it just as easily have come from someone who's opposed to Mike's stand on big sugary drinks or his nutty idea of keeping cigarettes well hidden?
Then in what was quite possibly nothing more than an attempt to make sure things were nudged in the 'right' direction, NYPD deputy commissioner, Paul Browne, told CBS News stations WCBS 880 and 1010 WINS, "The FBI has an investigation ongoing and so things like the exact wording and the postmarks, etc. we’re not going to disclose." And according to the New York Times, Browne did eventually state the letters "bore the same postmark…indicating they had been sent from roughly the same time and place," and even went on to divulge "‘something about the way it was addressed’ raised suspicion about the letter sent to New York." Right! Sorry, Paul, but I'm just not buying this stupid little premise here, at least not until I have some actual, verifiable, proof.
New York Daily News reported that the letter addressed to Mikey arrived at the city’s mail center and was somehow 'miraculously', "flagged by a worker who deemed it suspicious." Well, what sharp-eyed little postal workers they must have there. We're also told that some personnel who came in contact with the letters were supposedly afflicted by some sort of mild, non-specific, illness. "Nobody was hurt," NY Daily News said, adding, "but three members of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit who handled the letter Friday came down the next day with mild diarrhea — a symptom of ricin exposure." And now that, what I'm sure was, some 'very thorough' testing of these letters has been done, we'll soon be told about just how close to death it was that old Mikey really came.
And wasn't 'Mikey' perhaps a little too quick in taking the opportunity, after his life thankfully had apparently been spared, to, guess what, push for more gun control? "There’s 12,000 people that are going to get killed this year with guns and 19,000 that are going to commit suicide with guns, and we’re not going to walk away from those efforts. And I know I speak for all of the close to 1,000 mayors," blathered Mikey at a museum gala Wednesday night. "This is a scourge on the country that we just have to make sure that we get under control and eliminate." I'm sorry, but to me this all just seems way too convenient. The gun issue had been pretty much out of the news for awhile and then comes this 'ricin attack' which then allows Mikey to climb back up on his soapbox..
And I'm quite sure very little prompting of the media will be required to ensure that all blame for this recent bout of 'poison letters' is placed on the 'proper' gun rights advocates. Only time will tell if these letters fool anybody or have the desired result of leading to any new anti-gun legislation or laws geared at further destroying what few civil liberties we still have left in this country. What this most likely is, is nothing more than a sinister charade, an attempt to fool people into believing that those of us who believe we have a right to own a gun are not as rational as those to wish nothing more than to place 'reasonable' limits on that most basic of rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms. Personally, I'd be willing to bet that old Mikey not only knows exactly where those letters came from, but who it was that sent them.
