Dear Loved Ones,
To verify the truth of this message, I shared this email
with a retired member of the United States Air Force, who now works at a local
hospital. He verified the contents, saying,
"Marlin, Yes this message
is valid. It is one of the best summaries of CBN weapons I have
seen. Nuclear War is a totally different subject, but that is not what
he is talking about. As a citizen, take it to heart and share it with
friends. I am going to keep a copy of this to share with MY
friends. Thanks for sending it."
Those who are watchingevents unfoldthat are
mentioned in Bible prophesy may value this practical information about the
dangers of chemical weapons, and fear itself.

Since the media has decided to scare everyone with predictions of
chemical, biological, or nuclear warfare on our turf I decided to write a paper
and keep things in their proper perspective. I am a retired military weapons,
munitions, and training expert.Lesson number one: In the mid 1990s there
were a series of nerve gas attacks on crowded Japanese subway stations.
Given perfect conditions for an attack less than 10% of the people there
were injured (the injured were better ina few hours) and only one
percent of the injured died. 60 Minutes once had a
fellow telling us that one drop of nerve gas could kill a thousand
people, well he didn't tell you the thousand dead people per drop was
theoretical. Drill Sergeants exaggerate how terrible
this stuff was to keep the recruits awake in class (I know this because
I was a Drill Sergeant too). Forget everything you've ever seen on TV,
in the movies, or read in a novel aboutthis stuff, it was all a lie
(read this sentence again out loud!). These weapons are about terror, if
you remain calm, you will probably not die. This is far less scary than
the media and their "Experts," make it sound. Chemical
Weapons Chemical weapons are categorized as nerve,
blood, blister, and Incapacitating agents. Contrary to the hype of
reporters and politicians they are not weapons of mass destruction they
are "area denial," and terror weapons that don't destroy anything. When
you leave the area you almost always leave the risk. That's the
difference; you can leave the area and the risk but soldiers may have to
stay put and sit through it and that's why they need all that spiffy
gear. These are not gasses, they are vapors and/or air
borne particles. The agent must be delivered in sufficient quantity to
kill/injure, and that defines when/how it's used. Every day we have a
morning and evening inversion where "stuff," suspended in the air gets
pushed down. This inversion is why allergies (pollen) and air pollution
are worst at these times of the day. So, a chemical
attack will have it's best effect an hour of so either sideof
sunrise/sunset. Also, being vapors and airborne particles they are
heavier than air so they will seek low places like ditches, basements
and underground garages. This stuff won't work when it's
freezing, it doesn't last when it's hot, and wind spreads it too thin
too fast. They've got to get this stuff on you, or, get you to inhale it
for it to work. They also have to get the concentration of chemicals
high enough to kill or wound you. Too little and it's nothing, too much
and it's wasted. What I hope you've gathered by this
point is that a chemical weapons attack that kills a lot of people is
incredibly hard to do with military grade agents and equipment so you can
imagine how hard it will be for terrorists. The more you know about this
stuff the more you realize how hard it is to use.
We'll start by talking about nerve agents.
You have these in your house, plain old bug killer (like Raid) is
nerve agent. All nerve agents work themsame way; they are cholinesterase
inhibitors that mess up the signals yournervous system uses to make
your body function. It can harm you if you getmit on your skin but it works
best if they can get you to inhale it. If you don't die in the first
minute and you can leave the area you're probably mgonna live. The
military's antidote for all nerve agents is atropine and pralidoxime
chloride. Neither one of these does anything to cure the nerve agent, they
send your body into overdrive to keep you alive for five minutes, after that
the agent is used up. Your best protection is fresh air and staying calm.
Listed below are the symptoms for nerve agent poisoning:
Sudden headache, Dimness of vision (someone you're looking at will
have pinpointed pupils), runny nose, excessive saliva or drooling difficulty
breathing, tightness in chest, nausea, stomach cramps, twitching of exposed
skin where a liquid just got on you. If you are in public and
you start experiencing these symptoms, first ask yourself, did anything
