You will
NOT believe
this absolutely
TRUE story
of MYSTERY
and
FOREIGN INTRIGUE!
OK, the town in which I happen, sort-of by accident, to live has gained worldwide recognition this week (October 2001). Trenton, which has been languishing and slowly struggling for a rebirth since the 1950s, is the New Jersey state capitol -- and does NOT even have a movie house within its borders, has some of the worst public schools in the entire state (if not the entire country), an abundance of illegal aliens openly living and working, and a social/political infrastructure that does NOT give a damn!
It has been thrust into the limelight because some dumbass terrorist-type letters were mailed from somewhere in the area not long after the 11 September terrorist attack in New York. WOW, surprise! Like the good ol' USA has ever bothered to go around and see who is living anonymously in ANY of its cities, large or small. From Chinese and other Asians, European, Pakistani, Russian, hispanics and many other nations - they are all here because it is so easy to enter on a tourist or other visa (or simply walk or be clandestinely driven across the border!) and simply never leave! Nobody ever checks on them or, in MANY cases, officially knows they are here, and they simply try to blend-in with a local population to whatever extent they can -- which is easy because their compatriots are always ready and willing to help out.
On a national level the problem is simply way too large to resolve too easily -- and just imagine the political fallout! On a local level, at least here in Trenton, MANY of the illegals are hispanic, from Central and even South America, AND Mexico. IF the mayor, who was re-elected partly because of the hispanic vote, would begin rounding up and helping to deport these THOUSANDS of local illegals, his political clout, at least locally, would be reduced to ZERO. PLUS, there would be all those obnoxious left-wing human rights cry-babies screaming all the time about how awful it is that these people are being picked-on -- of course, they might neglect to mention that these aliens have NO legal right to be here in the first place and are effectively criminals (= one who knowingly operates OUTSIDE of established rules of law)!
I did this new introduction to my following story of foreign intrigue and local lack of preparation for emergencies, simply to show that it has always been this way as long as I have lived here. Perhaps now, things may improve - at least in the infrastructure relative to the topic of my story. Did I ever really worry about the obvious lack of coordinated local security I had noticed on several ocassions over the years? NOT IN THE LEAST! Do the recent terrorist events scare me? NO! What sometimes DOES really bother me, though, is the way the media latches onto certain things and blows them way out of proportion -- and in the present case, tends to sow the seeds of panic in the population! This is exactly what any twisted-minded terrorist wants to happen!
Anyway, the following is a totally TRUE story, unbelievable as it might appear!
OK, so I was upset and hyper about the news of Nicky's murder less than a week ago. Then on Monday, 15 May 2000, I received a delivery notice for something that arrived from Russia. I was surprised because I do NOT really know anybody in Russia.
The next day I went to the Post Office to get the thing, and effectively, it was stamped St. Petersburg, Russia! And since all the writing was in Russian, we could NOT figure out what it said the contents are! I told the lady at the desk that I know NOBODY in that great imperial city and that, for various reasons, I am a little apprehensive to open something from an unknown sender. She said that they are unable to scan the thing because they do NOT have the equipment, and that I might take it to the Trenton Police to talk to them about it.
A New Jersey State Policeman was in line near me and said that maybe they had the equipment at the local police station. He said that even the New Jersey State Police do NOT have the electronic search capability for something like that!
OK, so I take the thing to the Trenton Police main Precinct, and asked for the Sargent in charge. The guy asked me what it was about. I told him the story about the package and asked if they could check it for a possible bomb. The stupid idiot asked me, "Do you have a bomb in that package?" I said that I do NOT know what the hell is in it, and really so NOT want to open the thing!
He told me, after laughing about the whole thing with a couple buddies, that I might take it to the Mercer County Airport in West Trenton, and they might have the X-Ray equipment to check the contents.
I was APPALLED! I can NOT say that I was too surprised at this dumb-ass CAPITAL city's preparedness for unusual EMERGENCY situations though! At this point, since the local "rag" newspaper was just a block away, I thought I would take my story of municipal incompetency to them -- they usually like to BLAST whoever they are able to!
Some guy comes out and listens to my story. He moves the string on the package to one side, then saying that he had better NOT do it in the lobby of the newspaper building, just in case! HOLY SHIT! Great thinking Sherlock!
He disappears a couple minutes and returns with an umbrella and a wire coat hanger, which seemed almost as appropriate, under the circumstances, as a hair stylist armed with a power drill!
He unbends the coat hanger, and we go outside, along the building-side of one of the MAIN supports to the entry of the structure, a massive concrete pillar. I use my cane to hold the package down while he pried off the wrapping paper, exposing some kind of compartmented composition thingy with a white heavy paper top, closed with brown tape. Really suspicious at this point!
He was standing right in front of it, and I was sort of on the side of the glass entrance door-- we both would have been blown to bits!
He then takes the thing in his hands and lifts up a side of the top -- there were sort-of thick WIRES to be seen, and something RED! Now the adrenalin starts punping fiercely!
OMG, was it a bomb sent by some unknown Russian who was so upset with something on my website that they wanted to liquidate me somehow, leaving only teensy-weensy bits and pieces all over the demolished apartment??
Although the guy from the newspaper saw the wires and all, he lifted up the other end and said he did not see anything there. Then he just turned the other way and ripped the lid off----
K A B O O M !!
Luckily he was NOT close by when the lid was torn off!
Analysis of the remains showed that my MYSTERIOUS package contained............
