Here is the actual page. This states that these powders are used for other purposes.. perhaps, but you're crazy if you think that this company isn't making a pretty penny of our tax dollars, all for the purpose of using their product in a irresponsible, neglegent, and harmful way.

You know what else is weird.... the name for some of the chemicals

Alpha Alumina

seems like a parody or spin off the phrase "alpha illuminati"... coincidental???

BTW, I found this interesting news brief from May 8 that got very little press except for the mention below and I haven't heard anything about it since then.

Rash Hits 8 In Pa.; FBI On Scene
Rash Appeared After Overseas Package Was Opened

At least eight people came down with a mysterious rash at an industrial plant in Horsham, Pa. The rash broke out late Wednesday afternoon after a package was opened at the McKesson Pharmaceutical Plant on Dresher Road. The package had been shipped there from overseas.

I haven't seen anything about the PRC deploying troops on the border, but I've been working late and missing my nightly CNN fix.

The PRC portion of the whole southern Asia geopolitical equation is weird. During the Cold War, the USSR was a 'best friend' of India, while the PRC, especially after their relations with the Russians went sour, were big buddies with the Pakistanis. Of course, India and (to a lesser extent) Pakistan were biggies in the "non-aligned" nations, which made a lot of sense, because then they could get stuff from everybody!

Lately, Pakistan had been a safe haven for both the Taliban and (probably) al-Qaeda. After the 9-11 attacks, Pervez Musharraf really went out on a limb for the US, cut his support for the Bad Guys, and was working hand-in-glove with the Americans and their allies. This really p1$$ed off a lot of his own people, and I am sure that his assistance resulted in the Americans promising him big bucks under the table, forgiveness of debts, etc. This is understandable; it's a quid pro quo deal - the way countries do business.

But with the dust-up with India, Musharraf is pulling his soldiers away from the north where they're (supposedly) helping us chase down the Bad Guys) and moving them to the Kashmir, where there now seems to be a million Indians and Pakistanis facing off. This is a bad deal for us, obviously. The United States has now got on pretty good terms with both of them, and any war would be a lose-lose-lose for everyone except al-Qaeda and Taliban, who would take advantage of the chaos to stir up more mischief.

Interestingly enough, I was listening to an analyst on the radio a couple of nights ago who said that the "countries with interest and involvement in that area" will have to step in if the rhetoric gets much worse. He then went on to talk about the US, The EU, Russia, and Japan. He did not mention the PRC in his list. I'd have thought that the PRC would be a key player, with them neighboring Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan.

But I don't understand ten thousand PRC troops on the border. They stand to lose big time if a nuclear war breaks out - check the weather patterns in that area this time of year! Can you say "fallout", boys and girls?

And now I just heard that Musharraf and Vajpayee, although they're in the same meeting now in Kazakhstan and have accepted an invitation from Vladimir Putin to come to Moscow and talk, are both saying that they won't talk to each other! This is extremely bad business!

I gotta admit I'm stumped by the whole thing.

BTW, "Dawn" is a good source of news from the Pakistani side. They're not an 'official' paper, and sometimes are almost critical of General Musharraf. Almost.

This is all I could dig up on recent Chinese Deployment:

--------------------------------------------
Amid growing India-Pakistan tensions, China has strongly refuted media reports of alleged border incursions by its military in India's north-east where the two countries have a disputed border.
The Chinese side, in a very responsible manner, has stated that the entire China-India boundary remains peaceful, tranquil and stable. There is no such situation as suggested in news reports, Deputy Director-General of the Asian department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Sun Guoxiang said in an interview.

Asked to comment on the report, which came ahead of Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji's first official visit to India next month, Sun said: "I am deeply shocked and surprised to learn the news item".

A newspaper has reported that India has put its troops on alert on the eastern front as well in response to "hostile actions" by China in recent weeks.

However, Sun said no incident of border intrusion took place and that the Sino-Indian border area was quite peaceful.

"According to the information I have, all the sectors of the China-India boundary is quite peaceful. This is not simply my own comment, but also shared by my counterpart from India," Sun said, referring to the December 17 session of the India-China Experts Group (EG) on the boundary issue which was held here," he said.

"We had our boundary talks recently. During the talks, the two sides had concurred and reached the following consensus that China-India boundary now remains peaceful, tranquil and stable," Sun said. A Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue had described the tenth session of the Experts Group as positive.

In an atmosphere of friendship and frankness, both the sides exchanged opinions on clarifying and confirming the Line of Actual Control (LAC) alignment, establishing confidence building measures, bilateral relations etc, she said.

The talks were positive and concrete, deepening the mutual understanding, she added.

India and China for the first time exchange maps of the middle sector of the LAC during the eighth meeting of the EG in November 2000.

The disputed India-China border is divided into three sectors: the eastern sector, middle sector and western sector.

India says China is illegally occupying 43,180 sq. kms of Jammu and Kashmir including 5,180 sq km illegally ceded to Beijing by Pakistan under the Sino-Pakistan boundary agreement in 1963. On the other hand, China claims that India has occupied about 90,000 sq kms of Chinese territory and describes the Mcmahon Line drawn by the British as unlawful. The clarification of the LAC is the first step towards the final resolution of the vexed Sino-Indian boundary dispute. (PTI)

All I can remember about the report was that it had something to do with protecting their interest in an all weather road through the region.

I usually watch Fox or MSNBC not the Ted's Communist News Network, so that is why I remember which channel I saw it on.
