2:21:21 propelled grenades. Is it legal to use it here? Is that what he's saying? I don't know how I'm getting this report. Weapon of mass destruction. By the way, just one little throwback again. Yeah. I have two clips. Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Homeland attack, play it 2009. 2009. Intelligence to the head of the CIA, they were all in agreement. Listen. What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the US homeland in the next three to six months? High or low? Director Blair? An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say. Mr. Panetta? I would agree with that. Mr. Mueller? Agree. General Burgess? Yes, ma'am, agree. Mr. Dinger? Yes. Just chilling to hear those words. Meanwhile, we've
2:22:17 To hear those words and then we have another report the same year on mass destruction same theme where the public okay? Shall we let's do the I like the way back sound here. We go. Okay. Take us back. Oh right hello John Can you play the harp? Let's start with your assessment actually 14 months ago Is there any doubt in your mind and I'll begin with you senator Graham But either of you that the threat remains as you assessed it then that within the next four years It is likely or more likely than not that some terrorists somewhere in the world will use a weapon of mass destruction
2:23:00 If anything, the odds that we gave a year ago, which was more likely than not, have probably gone up. Well, hold on a sec. You said anywhere in the world. So, that totally explains it. That's why this guy... It's had a weapon of mass destruction. This was either with an ass cover or a firecracker off. But what's kind of interesting about this report is another year they bring up which kind of fits in with the Austin meme. In the past 14 months, that is, it is higher than just a straight, slightly more than 50-50. that some place on earth a terrorist group would use a weapon of mass destruction between now and the end of 2013. And the reason for that is that accessibility, particularly of biological materials, has increased. The sophistication of Al-Qaeda as we saw on Christmas Day has become, if anything, greater and more diffused.
2:23:56 we believe that the risk is real and growing. And this was a unanimous finding. Yeah, and we'll reach a probability. by around 2013. Of course we don't have intel telling us the attacks are going to occur in 2013, but if you look at the trend lines, it's a short-term risk. That was our point. This is not the next generation that has to worry about this. And when you say trend lines briefly, what do you mean? Well, although we are doing things, we're making progress in particular areas as a government and with allies, they are active also. And it's like we're running, but they're running faster. All right, so let's take one of the F that I think made everyone the most nervous, which was that a system still hadn't been developed to respond quickly to a bioterror attack. Are you talking about what? Preventing mass casualties? What do you mean by that? Oh, first, we mean deterrence. The reality is that if a terrorist gains access to a biological weapon, they're going to ask themselves, where can we use this weapon to the greatest effect?
2:24:57 So the degree to which you are prepared to respond to it becomes a significant amount of your deterrence that it will not be used against you. But if you are attacked, the adequacy of your response capabilities can reduce the number of casualties into the thousands, not the tens or hundreds of thousands, and therefore make it something less than a mass destructive event. So Senator Talent, what is missing in that area? What hasn't been done? Well, unfortunately about everything is missing. I mean, we've not stockpiled the countermeasures. We didn't even have enough vaccines for H1N1 with six months notice. We don't have a plan system for distributing the countermeasures in the event of an attack.
2:25:37 Many cities won't know whether an attack has occurred. We don't have the devices to tell us that. We don't have the capacity to clean up afterwards. I mean, this is why we gave them an F, because every link in the chain of response, we call it a chain with links, is inadequate. And there's really no reason for that. The chairman likes to point out correctly. This is something we can do on our own, and we really don't need international partners to do it, and we should be doing it. so why hasn't it happened it hasn't happened i think first because there's been a tendency to want to deny the existence of people view a biological attack as seven letters sent in october two thousand uh... in one that was a terrible thing in scale it was much less than a mass destruction uh... what we're talking about is a terrorist
2:26:31 putting a slurry of anthrax in the back of a truck with a dispensing device which makes it almost invisible, driving it through a major American city and potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of people. That's the scale that we think we're going to be dealing with unless we take some immediate action to raise our barriers against the attack or to be able to reduce its consequences. Our establishments are used to the nuclear threats, so new administrations hit the ground running. And we gave the Obama administration pretty good grades in nuclear, but they're very slow to recognize bio.
2:27:08 And it was true for Clinton, it was true for Bush, and unfortunately it's true for Obama. We've been trying to tell them for the last year that they need to mount the learning curve more quickly. You did though, Senator Talent, give them a more mixed set of grades on steps that would prevent an attack. Alright, that's good enough. So how about UT biological weapons? Biological weapons, also if you notice there's a lot of buzz around the anthrax vaccine that they're giving and they're trying it out on kids and all the rest of it. So they're testing the new vaccine for anthrax which is like off the wall if anything ever was. Do you know how many people have emailed me that they have received in this service, they've received anthrax vaccine?
2:27:57 And that they have weird effects? Yeah, that's the problem with the anthrax vaccine. So this whole scheme relies on a sketchy vaccine that's harmful apparently. And I don't know, maybe they're tweaking it. I have no idea. But now that they're testing it on kids, I have to assume that they're getting closer to something that they think might be useful. Let me tell you this. I'll tell you this. Get a lot of anthrax vaccinations if some anthrax attack takes place. Cyprio. We just need Cyprio. You know what it's called? Cyprio? I don't know, but I think we discussed this years ago. Yeah, Cypro? Cypro? Is that what it's called? Cypro? Cypro. Cypro. Yeah. Well, look, if they decide to light off some anthrax crap here in Austin, I'll be very angry. It wouldn't be, no, Austin's the code word. It's not the target. Okay, thank you.
2:28:49 Austin would be the code word, it would never be the target. Because Austin and besides that, like you said, there's every other retired spook and other kind of guy lives there. We're not going to poop in our own nest, people. It's not going to happen. But it's a great code word for 787. We'll see. We'll see. Well, we definitely have, yeah, cipro, selaxin, and citraxel. Treats infections also treats anthrax infection after exposure. So what you want to do is get some of this stuff. Cipro, right? Yeah, Cipro. Cipro Flux Essence. You can basically, you can have, your doctor can get that for you. They use it for like bladder infections, I think. Cipro. But you know.
2:29:41 You should probably get some seeds. So it's a fluoroquinolone which is associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages. This risk is further increased in older patients, 60 or older, in patients taking corticosteroid drugs and in patients with kidney, heart or lung transplants. may exacerbate muscle weakness in persons with my myoths blah blah blah and avoid Cipro and patients with known history of myothenia gravis to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Cipro and Cipro oral suspensions and other antibacterial. I'm telling you that UT has a lot of bioweapon awards and work going on. I'm just googling around
2:30:35 Yeah. Bioweapon watchdog seeks suspension of University of Texas eligibility for federal biodefense research funds. Anthrax and tularemia bioweapons bungling in Texas. That was a while ago, who gives a crap? I wonder what they're... if you were going to target some pathetic, you know, suckers, some pathetic population that you think you could get away with pulling off a stunt to get the public all worked up again because they're getting apparently lazy. It's got to be something that goes boom because other stuff people just don't care if you can't see it if it's like I don't think it's going to be some invisible thing this is this is not scary enough it has to go boom it has to be an IED this is kind of what we've been talking about yeah but IEDs are going to do much as much damage as it doesn't have to as long as it goes boom and we can classify it a weapon of mass destruction
2:31:33 So maybe an RPG, someone can shoot an RPG at a 787. Now you're talking, a weapon of mass destruction at a 787. Codename Austin. That's a deconstruction I would subscribe to as one of many possibilities. And that would do it. And then we've already got the RPG brought into the mainstream media with this Joker stooge that was in fighting against Assad and now he's arrested by the FBI and obviously we'll be, we won't hear about him for a while. Assad. Yeah. And so he, you know, so we've introduced the weapon as a weapon of mass destruction.
