<br>This is pretty interesting....the article that ran before the one in the original post is here:<br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11021203/">msnbc.msn.com/id/11021203/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br>Security breached at chemical weapons arsenal <br>Three enter restricted zone; guards inspecting vehicles leaving facility<br>The Associated Press <br>Updated: 11:15 a.m. ET Jan. 25, 2006 <br>WHITE HALL, Ark. - The Army stepped up security at an arsenal where chemical weapons are stored after three people entered a restricted zone, officials said Wednesday.<br>The security measures were taken as a precaution at the Pine Bluff Arsenal after the intrusion at a forested federal preserve 30 miles south of Little Rock. Officials didn’t know what the three people were doing there, spokeswoman Cheryl Avery said.<br>“We are still assessing the situation,” Avery said. She wouldn’t say when the people entered the property or if they had left.<br>The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management was notified of the intrusion but was given no indication of the seriousness of the incident, said spokeswoman Kathy Hedrick. Guards at the arsenal’s gates were giving careful inspections to vehicles leaving the facility Wednesday morning.<br>Other than the enhanced security, operations were continuing as normal, officials said.<br>The Pine Bluff Arsenal stores 12 percent of the military’s chemical weapons, which include nerve gas and mustard gas. It is the nation’s second largest stockpile. The materials are being incinerated, and officials have said that will take about five years to complete.<br><br><br><br>So here there's no mention at all that these "people" weren't human...nothing about mistaking them for animals, entities, etc.....this article was posted on the 25th.<br><br><br>The original article's contents are pretty closely mirrored in this link from MSNBC:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11048895/">msnbc.msn.com/id/11048895/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br>‘Intruders’ at arsenal may have been animals <br>Guard reported security breach at Arkansas chemical weapons depot<br>The Associated Press <br>Updated: 6:50 a.m. ET Jan. 27, 2006 <br>LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A guard who reported a security breach inside the nation’s second-largest chemical weapons depot may have mistaken wildlife for human intruders, authorities said Thursday.<br>The commander of the Pine Bluff Arsenal said officials combed the area but found no footprints or other evidence of human intruders.<br>“There’s no doubt in my mind that the officer saw something, but it wasn’t human,” Col. Brian S. Lindamood said. “At this time I have no idea what it could be.”<br>Lindamood said the officer was patrolling inside a 500-acre secure section of the arsenal where chemical weapons, including nerve agents, are stored.<br>“He reported that he saw three individuals on foot inside the (secure area) and when he approached in his vehicle they ran into the woods,” he said.<br>Lindamood said the guard was between 70 and 165 feet away at the time and the area was brightly lit. The guard won’t face any disciplinary measures.<br>“In fact, he was commended for the promptness of his report, for the detail contained in his report, and for his diligence in following up until his backup arrived,” Lindamood said.<br>The 13,000-acre Army complex, located a half-hour south of Little Rock, began destroying its chemical weapons stockpile in March to comply with international treaties.<br><br><br>This kinda puts this into a new perspective for me.....maybe it really was three humans that got into the place, they somehow escaped and got out and this is just the cover to ease any worry that our precious supply of chemical weapons are "safe"....<br><br>but if that's the case....then why does the article specifically state:<br>"He reported that he saw three individuals on foot inside the (secure area) and when he approached in his vehicle they ran into the woods..."<br><br><br>so it must have been something that resembles a human.....because if it was human, why wouldn't the guard order them to stop whatever it was they were doing and lay down on the ground, hands over their heads, etc etc.? I'm assuming the guy was armed...why didn't he throw some muscle around? he just watched them run off into the woods? why? maybe he didn't have time? maybe the standard procedure in a place like that is "wait for backup no matter what"....dunno....I guess it could go both ways in light of the older article from the 25th.<br><br><br>also....<br><br>"The 13,000-acre Army complex, located a half-hour south of Little Rock, began destroying its chemical weapons stockpile in March to comply with international treaties."<br><br><br>how does one go about safely destroying chemical weapons? <br><br>because...and this is just my mind racing off here for a second...I'm kind of wondering if destroying something like chemical weapons does to "wherever it is that other dimensional entities come from", what knocking over obscene amounts of rainforest does in terms of releasing previously unknown germs or chemicals or viruses. I'm reminded of that bit about the UFO's showing up around the atomic weapons testing facility in the US and Australia at the same time. I forgot the names/dates so I apologize.<br><br>But another possible example...back when Jeff first mentioned Kary Mullis....the discussion was regarding his encounter with the raccoon behind his cabin in CA.....I seem to remember someone saying something along the lines of maybe it was the result of some kind of altered chemical he had created during his quest to constantly one-up the government back during his LSD days....as if maybe he had opened some kind of "channel" simply by creating something similar to LSD.....but then when the accounts of his daughter and colleague came up, someone speculated that maybe it was the place, and not the man. but why would THAT man, who discovered this hugely significant thing in the world of science, just happen to purchase a place of significance in the realm of high weirdness?<br><br>My point is, maybe the initial suggestion, that Mullis had somehow inadvertently opened some kind of gateway by altering chemical compounds and such, is similar to what's going on with the chemical weapons cache....maybe the destruction of chemical weapons could lead to some kind of open door in the realm of high weirdness.<br><br><br>again, that's just me speculating wildly...I suppose it's pretty presumptious, considering it may just be a case of sloppy reporting or a run-around by the military to cover-up any potentially embarrassing situations for the Army. <p></p><i></i>
