No we aren’t talking about agent ‘007′ types with an attitude, we’re talking about agents such as phosgene. If you are a member of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission you toss your phosgene in a baggie and toss it in the corner where it stays for the next 11 years.
Frightening enough possibilities leap to mind when considering where other ‘agents may be stored and how’.
Apparently the offices of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, Unmovic are being emptied. I’m not certain if they were being emptied so that the decorator could come in and redesign, or maybe the carpets were just going to get a good steam but, this stuff was found left over from 1996 in the UN building.
The good news is the items found, which were thankfully listed in an inventory sheet were screened and found to have no toxic vapours. But, what else is lurking in other ‘official’ type building across the planet? Are the people that deal with even more deadly hazards any more organized that these Unmovic people?
The vials found at the UN were found by inspectors as they were clearing these offices out. So, the inspectors need inspectors. Who, then, will inspect the inspectors, that inspect the inspectors who just plain inspect?
Day after day we are finding that all the organizations that have been assembled to protect us are actually the most unorganized balls of confusion on earth.
Our plea goes out today to the ‘experts’ in all the fields that holds society together. Lock the door behind you when you leave the lab that contains the deadly virus you have been ‘inspecting’. Call out the repair crews when you find the bridge you have inspected is falling apart. Lock up the people you have found dumping poisons into our oceans. Stop letting companies that are poisoning our children, tainting our food and selling us tires without rubber steal from us our lives, our loved ones and our health. See that not one more nuclear plant is built upon a major fault line. Those are the kinds of things we need the experts to do.
Well take care of the everyday minutia of life like bank robbers, rapists and drunken drivers. You experts need to take of the big stuff, and for heaven’s sake please dispose of the phosgene you have inspected 11 years ago safely, turn out the lights, and lock the door behind you when you leave the building!
