Yeah, my first reaction was that if Chaos opened the envelope, the ricin would be scared.

I would put good money down it was sent with considerable backing and encouragement from the Chinese.

Considering the latest events:

- Two ricin laced letters sent to the SECDEF and CNO in DC.

- USS Decatur involved in a near collision in South China Sea with a PLAN destroyer

Yeah, likely not a coincidence.

Ricin also sent to President Trump

“WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon spokeswoman says the suspicious substance found in envelopes turned over to the FBI contained the substance from which the poison ricin is derived, but not ricin itself.

Dana W. White, the chief Pentagon spokeswoman, told reporters traveling with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in Brussels that the substance was castor seeds…”

Packages with suspicious substances sent to the Pentagon, White House and Sen. Ted Cruz's office in Texas this week were part of a coordinated effort by a former Navy sailor, officials told Fox News.

Investigators said one of the envelopes, addressed to either Defense Secretary James Mattis or the Navy's top officer, Adm. John Richardson, contained a return address leading them to believe it came from the sailor, whose name has not been disclosed.

A Pentagon spokesperson told Fox News on Wednesday that at least two of the envelopes contained castor seeds -- the substance from which the poison ricin comes from.

Officials say a tip from the White House led the Pentagon to discover the two packages sent to the Pentagon -- and now both are in the hands of the FBI for further testing.

FBI Arrests Former Navy Sailor In Ricin Scare

The FBI has arrested a former Navy sailor after a ricin scare when letters laced with a mysterious substance were sent to the Pentagon and other key locations around the nation’s capital Tuesday.

William Clyde Allen of Logan, Utah, is in custody under federal prosecutors’ authorization, ABC News reported Wednesday. A complaint against Allen could be filed in federal court as early as Friday, officials told ABC News.

The letters were addressed to President Donald Trump, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson and GOP Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s Houston campaign office. The substance on the letters was determined to be castor seeds, from which the toxic protein ricin is made, reported ABC News.

Allen, 39, was a fireman apprentice in the Navy from 1998 to 2002, reported ABC News. (RELATED: Hazmat Team Sent To Ted Cruz Campaign Office In Houston: Report)

A return address on one of the four envelopes was a lead in the FBI investigation into the scare, a “U.S. official familiar with the investigation” told ABC News.

The envelopes addressed to Mattis and Richardson never left a mail screening facility separate from the Pentagon, reported USA Today.

You have to be a special kind of crazy to try to make Ricin. Doesn’t it damn near kill the maker most of the time?

I swear to God we are all full up with shitheads and crazies on this rock of ours.

He joined the Navy 20-years ago, got out with less than 5-years as a E-2. I'm gonna take a guess that his separation from service was not voluntary and his record is full of red marks.
