...to election officials in WA state.
https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1722686290318...

The letter reads:

END ELECTIONS NOW
Stop Giving Power to the Right That They Don't Have
WE ARE IN CHARGE NOW AND THERE IS NO MORE NEED FOR THEM
Also be aware that your ballot drops are very susceptible to noxious chemicals like AM/BL. They are unsafe to the public. Just Saying.


Some of the envelopes - there were multiple - contained fentanyl.

As a result, buildings were evacuated.

For those who don't know, fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin which is what makes it so dangerous - even casual contact can result in a bad day:
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponse...

Fentanyl can be absorbed into the body via inhalation, oral exposure or ingestion, or skin contact. It is not known whether fentanyl can be absorbed systemically through the eye. Fentanyl can be administered intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), or as a skin patch (transdermally).

If you click on the twitter link, you'll see the threat letter that was sent to the election counting offices. Featured prominently on it are the intersectionality flag, a pentagram and the Antifa 3 Arrow symbol.

No, Antifa is not "an ideal" and NO, they're not "Antifascists". These people are themselves fascists through and through.

Dope1's go-to news source is now Twitter. There's never anything fraudulent or misleading on Twitter, dontchaknow.

And Andy Ngo?

Ngo's credibility and objectivity as a journalist have been extensively criticized by other journalists.[9][58] Since 2019, he has been accused of using selectively edited videos[85] and sharing misleading and inaccurate information to paint antifa activists as violent,[86] and to underplay the violence of the far right,[81][87][88] with Columbia Journalism Review describing Ngo as a "discredited provocateur".[89] While under cross-examination during the 2022 trial of a Portland citizen journalist, Ngo acknowledged that his tweets have resulted in threats and violence against those he targets.[[90][91]

B-u-u-u-u-t it's Wikipedia!!!

Wikipedia sources and footnotes every item.

Ngo is a right wing troll. No wonder you like him.

LOL@u.

Your posts are jokes. Here's the letter again, from a different source.

Seek help. Your constant schtick of trying to impeach source material is laughably bad because in every instance, you don't know the first thing about what you're talking about.

“These are acts of terrorism,” Hobbs declared. “And I do feel while I feel assured that unfortunately, other counties are going to get this letter.

“My message to the perpetrators is you have failed at stalling democracy. There was a slight pause, and they restarted again, so what you are doing is causing fear and terror amongst these innocent, hardworking election workers that all they want to do is process the election and keep our democracy going,” he said.


Here, here's something for you to hang your hat on given that your buddies sent the letter:
The FBI is investigating the letters, including the one delivered to the Pierce County elections office. There is no indication that symbols or markings on the letters reflect the source of the letters.

You can take some solace in that, I suppose.
Now run along. Somewhere a psychiatrist is patiently waiting for you to show up.

And here's the local NPR station:

https://www.kuow.org/stories/suspicious-letters-ta...

It continued, “Also be aware your ballot drops are very susceptible to noxious chemicals.” The letter included several symbols whose meaning and connection to each other or to the sender remain unclear. The symbols included three arrows pointing down and to the left, which has been adopted by Antifa, an LGBTQ Pride flag, and an inverted pentagram.

The letter sent to King County Elections ahead of the August primary said, “There must be no more elections” in similar all-caps, adding, “We are a communist country now and communist countries do not have elections.” It also said, “enjoy some complimentary white powder” and “recommended” obtaining Narcan, which is used to reverse overdoses from fentanyl. Traces of that drug were found in the letter.

Joshua Fisher-Birch, a research analyst with the Counter Extremism Project, said people should not be quick to blame far-left groups for the letters just because of the symbols included. In fact, he said the opposite could be true.


Sure, Josh. You cling to that fantasy, and cling tight.

Some noisy protesters, according to your post today, "are Canada", so why aren't some noisy antifa America?

For guy who claims to have all the degrees, what you don't know is a lot.

Happens to the best of 'em.

"While it may be unlikely this attack would cause serious damage, it seems clearly designed to terrorize the public servants in these offices who run elections," Becker said.

Lessee...which political party -gop- and cult leader -maga- has a recent history of suppressing voting, harrassing voters, tampering with voting machines, and pressuring election officials to 'find' votes to turn over an election, and fomenting an attempted insurrection??



The letter featured an antifascist symbol, a progress pride flag and a pentagram. While the symbols have sometimes been associated with leftist politics, they also have been used by conservative figures to label and stereotype the left, and the sender's political leanings were unclear.

Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts, speaking at a news conference Thursday with Raffensperger, said the county's election workers had been under threat since at least when two of them were singled out following the 2020 presidential election, with then-Republican President Donald Trump, attorney Rudolph Giuliani and others falsely alleging that election workers were stuffing ballots to aid Democrats.


It's not entirely clear who is responsible for the tainted envelopes. Recent history shows us that the primary perps of election interference , tried and convicted, are MAGAts inspired by the pathologically lying, increasingly confused orange rapist with the bad comb-over.
