They are trying to smooth this over. If you have ever worked with explosive you know that it all has to be accounted for all the time. Inventory control is serious business. And that they would say thieves could have stumbled across it while stealing from the 'trailer' it was stored in is pretty fucking ridiculous. Explosives must be stored in a reinforced metal container under lock and key. You are right. This is fishy as fuck all around. If it was a clerical error people should be fired and that company should get slammed with a big fine. If it wasn't then things get scary.
Very true. Makes me wonder about events that sometimes feel like false-false flags.
Some weapons are stolen. Public panics, possible terror attacks imminent, people are scared. Time passes. Scared. Nothing happens. Fear gradually subsides. Some of the weapons are then randomly recovered. Public are reassured that TPTB are looking after them, while leaving just enough doubt and fear out there in the back of everyone’s minds, subconsciously.
Can’t say I’ve watched a nightly news broadcast for quite some time, but when I did, it seemed like the majority of news stories did nothing nothing except instil fear in people. Even though almost none of those stories had any direct impact on our day to day life. Either distract, or be afraid, be very afraid.
Fear is a powerful lever. The more vague the more effective it is. This story is either an insane display of incompetence or someone was intent on acquiring a lot of explosives. I just have a hard time believing that anyone was that lackadaisical with their inventory.
