I was hoping this would pop up. An example of why:
> Two members of the right-wing "Order of the Rising Sun" are arrested in Chicago with 30-40 kg of typhoid cultures with which they allegedly planned to poison the water supply in Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities. Experts say the plan is unlikely to cause health problems due to water chlorination.
Imagine planning a terrorist act, and never bothering to check whether it could work even in theory. I wonder how that conversation went.
“Been hearing a lot about this typhoid stuff.”
“I know a guy that can get some.”
“Sweet, I just so happen to know how to get into the local water plant. Let’s drop it in and see what happens.”
jail happens
“What’re you in for?”
“A plan that couldn’t cause harm even in theory, to further my political agenda.”
Killing a lot of random people through the water supply is a very left wing idea, you'll see the general idea often on HN with anti-population rants without a clear way forward. A lot of don't believe Bill Gates and his development reduces population.
RISE hijacked a plane and ended up in Cuba.
And they were looking at putting it into food stuff and had aerosol models.
One of their ideas of putting typhoid in the water supply seems valid to me. If you put a drop of typhoid in a glass of tap water, I would have expected it to still be bad. Perhaps not, but direct injection into waterlines is easy. If the clusterfuck of bad reporting about them includes a bad analysis of typhoid and chlorined water lines, I wouldn't rule it out.
I had a feeling it'd turn out this way considering this weird comment seems to be pushing conspiracy theories about bill gates, but I did feel compelled to check to see the order of the rising sun was a right-wing group or not.
No surprise, they absolutely were right-wing. Neo-Nazis even. "dedicated to creating a new master race,"
