You realize you are talking to the CACL contingent don't you? Their view
is anything that upsets them is justification for anything they want to
do.

Greed is good.

If you're going to use small weapons against a huge enemy, the target
has to be an important one.  Bin Laden did that part right.  In fact,
why not use his tactics?  Won't that accomplish something in ridding
us of facisim?

No, it won't.  What's happened is the opposite, the totalitarian
government is getting stronger (which is what Bin Laden wants - to be
dictator of the world, so it does fit his plan).

To me, that's proof that violent acts won't bring an end to the facist
state.  Small violent acts have to be really well focussed.  Using the
state to destroy itself requires a bit of hacking.  The violence is then
free.

Dropping nerve gas or bombs won't do anything useful - look at Israel.
I think we can do a lot more damage to the state without being violent.
Being treacherous is good enough :-)

Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike

The toxicity of dioxins is much overhyped.  Any large power 
transformer that overheats is the equivalent of your dioxin 
bomb, and so far no one has noticed the supposedly devastating 
destruction created by such events.

I hope you are not letting the ends justify the means. As 
someone here wrote it's just not right to even do a reverse 
panopticon on the feebs who are building the total information 
awareness surveillance on us.

To do othewise would be failing to wait while dangers to freedom 
and democracy gather. It would be making a preemptive strike 
based only on your having credible evidence that your freedom is 
endangered.

You must not follow the example being set for you by your 
government. Looking back, the French Resistance were simply 
terrorists, attacking the legitmate Vichy Government, and using 
terror and violence to achieve their political ends. Evil, just 
evil. History needs to be revised to address these violent 
criminals who did these violent deeds to their government.

   Not all that far-fetched, really. It would be fairly simple to create a 
dioxin bomb by heating a 55gal drum of polychlorinated phenols (2,4D or 2,45T)
or polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs from a powerline transformer say) until it
exploded. Put it upwind of the Whitehouse.

You're missing the catalyst (I would act copper powder offhand, and reflux
in a high-b.p. solvent; or no solvent as you suggested). Also, some
dioxins work much better than others, so not every PCB will do for educt.  
Look it up in CAS.

But why doing it in the first place? To contaminate an area, causing high
costs for decontamination? Doesn't compute. Unless you just want to annoy.
If you want to kill people, stick to nerve agents. Maximum impact
(relatively volatile, excellent LD50), short half life.

That's because it's not a dioxin bomb. But I agree, it's best reserved for 
practical jokes like smearing dioxine dissolved in DMSO on people's 
doorknobs.
