Workers misplaced a bottle of VX nerve agent at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah Wednesday. A lockdown was immediately ordered and nobody entered or left Dugway Proving Ground until the errant VX nerve agent was eventually found. A stockpile of VX nerve agent, the most toxic tool of mass destruction ever synthesized by person, was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. Scientists have taken out massive quick personal loans to analyze this item even further.
Finding the absent VX
Dugway Proving Ground was locked down at 5:24 p.m. MST Wed. When this occurred, there were 2,200 individuals on the base. It seemed some VX nerve agent had disappeared. It was not matched right during inventory. The 801,505-acre installation was locked down instantly for a search. This is what Dugway commander Col. William E. King did. The VX nerve agent was right under their noses. After testing sensor equipment, workers entrusted with the deadly substance put it in a mislabeled vial. Comment came from a Dugway Proving Ground spokesman. Apparently nobody was ever in danger since the VX nerve agent was really there the whole time.
VX is lethal
Dugway's absent vile had about one milliliter of VX nerve agent in it. That's about 1/5 a teaspoon. If inhaled, only 50 micrograms are needed as a lethal dose while 734 micrograms are needed through the skin of VX nerve agent. That means 200,000 individuals could die with one gram of VX nerve agent. VX is just like motor oil in that it is viscous. It won't ever evaporate away. If a human is exposed to VX, the toxin destroys the individual’s nerves, and death by paralysis occurs in minutes. When it comes to people in history killed by VX, only one is known. In 1994, a man in Osaka, Japan died from it by a member of the Aum Shinrikyo terrorist group.
Massive concern with VX
Many terrorists want VX nerve agent. They wish to get their hands on it. In 1998 a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan linked to Iraq and Al Qaeda was suspected of attempting to synthesize VX. Chemicals used to produce VX were found after the United States military jets destroyed the plant. The United States and Russia made some VX during the cold war. There was enough that all Earth life could have been killed multiple times. The point of VX was to deliver it in missiles, artillery shells and even land mines for other nations. The U.S. VX stockpile was wrecked. In December 2008, the last went away. Russia is working on destroying its stockpile of VX also. The United States and Germany are helping nudge that along.

Dugway Proving Grounds outside of Wendover, Utah, has been spraying something over the skies of Elko County, Nevada, starting about a month ago. I just photographed no less than ten jets leaving what can't possibly be normal exhaust trails. They're about four times wider than the trails we're all used to seeing. Plus, we never get that many jets through here, at most about one a day. Dugway and The Newly-Formed Communist Government Of America are up to something very nefarious. And I know these jets must be from Dugway because they're the closest commie base. I'm writing all my local, county, state, and federal officials. You need to start making your voices heard about all the anti-American, anti-freedom crap that's coming down. Google "chemtrails" and see what you come up with. I'm emailing out my photos as we speak. Harold Dean Berry - Wells, Nevada.
