Hi,

I'm new to this whole activism thing and um, I was reading over some of the
articles here and had a really pressing question. I'm pretty sure I count as
a mad bomber, but can find no reliable documentation on writing mad bomber
posts. Is there anyone who can point me toward a template or other resource
for writing mad bomber emails and posts to this list?

Thanks,
ANFO

Simple.
Just claim that you learned everything you know from The Anarchist Cookbook.

Firstly, you're going to have to do something about your spelling - it's
far to good for a typical mad bomber.

Secondly, it's normal practice for any mad bomber post to have either the
words "dude", "cool" or "shit" (often misspelled) in them.

Here are some common mad bomber subjects that you might find useful:

1. How do I make {explosives,plastique,c4,semtex} from common household
ingredients;

2. Can I detonate {ANFO,c4} with a firecracker?;

3. How do I make blasting caps (traditionally after receiving an answer to
(2) above).

Good luck and welcome to my killfile.

the original posting was crazy--- my advice to this NG is to ignore
him. There is no place for him posting to this group. Should we be
held hostage to his insanity??? Just let this nut go and pray he
gets stellazine and lithium/thorazine, which manic depressive people
so richly deserve. God, at times, I wish we had a sane monitor to this
group clark.

So, what kind of explosives can one make from common household drugs?

The original post was not crazy - it was from someone with a perfectly sane, but
rather twisted sense of humor. It was far too literate and polite to have been
from a real "mad bomber." Whomever it was knew just what sort of discomfiture he
would create by baiting people here.

The best response to this and more genuinely mad posts is to ignore them and let
the posters die of boredom waiting for any acknowledgment.

LOL! I.e., which although I haven't read it, according to stuff I've
read _about_ it (e.g., here), claims to be pretty 'explosive,' but
apparently doesn't know its elbow from a hole in the ground. :-)

Surely, you mean, "too good," right?

I know, don't call you Shirley.

I've heard that aspirin, toilet bowl cleaner, ordinary cleanser and
laundry bleach can be fun to mix. Be sure to do it indoors, and don't
use any respiratory protection! ;-}

That would be "whoever" - the subjective case. It's kind of a
double-whammy,
similar to those who say "is comprised of," which doesn't mean anything
- it shows off one's pretentiousness while simultaneously exposing his
or her ignorance.

Hope This Helps!

I think that in England at least, "mad" means "nuts."

Like the guy who got a flat tire next to the nuthouse. (crazy house,
loony bin, you get the point). He took off the hubcap, and put the
lugnuts in it, like any sane person would, while he got the spare
out of the trunk and so on. During all of this, one of the nuts
(residents?) was watching him through the fence on the other side of
the ditch. When he went to heft the spare onto the wheel itself, he
stepped on the hubcap and flipped all of the lugnuts into the weeds
and mud in the ditch. "D'oh!" he exclaimed. It was obvious there
was no way to retrieve all four lugnuts. The guy on the other side
of the asylum fence says, "Well, take one lugnut off of each of the
other three wheels; that will at least get you to the station." The
guy with the flat says, "That's BRILLIANT! What the hell are you
doing in the nuthouse?" And the nut says, "I'm crazy, not stupid."

In the phrase "whomever it was," "it" is the subject, "was" is the verb, and
"whomever" the object; thus upon parsing the
phrase, "whomever" appears to be correct. English grammar is a slippery
subject, and if I'm wrong I apologize.

Anyway, what argument did you have with the substance of my comment, namely that
the "mad bomber" enquiry was designed
to provoke all the usual people who are provoked by such things?

There is really no reason for most of the experienced people on this list to be
here except out of charity. They contribute far
more than they learn, I'm sure. I try to contribute a word or two of firework
making advice here and there to people who
seem like they might benefit by my experience. The satisfaction of possibly
having helped someone is all I take away from the
transaction.

Smart-aleck posts like that originating this thread, and, dare I say it, yours,
are simply a waste of bandwidth.

Virtually all if you are a good organic chemist!
Here follows some ideas
CH3-NO2 -Fe/H(+)-> CH3-NH2
TNT -SnCl2/H(+)-> 2,4,6 triaminotoluen
O3NCH2-CH2NO3 + NaOH --> HOCH2-CH2OH + 2NaNO3
2NaNO3 + H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + 2HNO3
HO-CH2-CH2-OH + HNO3 (dil) -boil-> HO2C-CO2H
HO2C-CO2H + 2NH4OH --> NH4CO2-CO2NH4
NH4CO2-CO2NH4 + P2O5 --> NH2-CO-CO-NH2 --> NC-CN

This seems a rather late reply to my innocent question.
Anyway, I really want instructions on that old surplus 20kg bag of cocaine
sitting in the basement. How do I turn it into octanitrocubane using only
saucepans and bleach?

Alternatively, RDX to heroin might come in handy now the IRA has
surrendered.
