Eightsotuh,
Google “Uncle Fester”, and go to Military Surplus for manuals on booby traps.
That’s the shortcut.

the other options are ODing on normal substances, some of which have bad reactions, as outlined elsewhere: Asiprin to someone who’ll get cut later on, for instance. (Prevents clotting by thinning the blood – so, thin the blood, puncture the body, especially an artery, and it’s just an “industrial accident”.)

There are ways to do that with food, too, I’m sure. (For instance, the woman can’t have hot chili peppers in any quantity – so high-grade hot sauces can be fatal, because they have the B-vitamin Niacin. Found that out last ngiht, when she had a niacin flush after we had chili for dinner. No, I won’t name the hot sauce / pepper extract I used – it’s not too esoteric, though, and it CAN be found in the grocery, AND at the drug store – in arthitis rubs based on capsaicin.)

If it’s a controlled situation, use multiple vectors. so, food carries a component of the toxin; wine magnifies the effect. Instant fatality when they mix in the bloodstream.
Another is analphylactic shock, induced by introducing the toxin into the bloodstream: Inject an amount of raw egg yolk, then feed them eggs, for example.

Esoteric toxins may be undetectable; you’ll need to google that, I don’t know which are and arent.
However, given time and access to chemicals or refining, you could use nitrogen in a closed room to kill someone. Nitrogen displaces oxygen, the person suffocates / drowns in nitrogen. Brain death. Heart attack possible too. And who is going to notice the blood O2 level isn’t right?

Then there’s direct poisoning, using any of a million compounds in the house. Insert the syringe in an odd location, say under a fingernail, to hide the mark from most observations.

If it’s long-term, use microwave emitters in their cars – cancer will develop. 😉 (also, severe radiation burns, especially on lungs, liver, genitals, kidneys, adrenals.)

You could also use known toxins – Draw the target a warm bath, get them settled and relaxed, and mix bleach and ammonia in a bucket in the room. (Gas is toxic.)

Lots of options, some detectable (Drug OD – no, you didn’t know they used; OR, Yes, and you know their dealer, even better.) Others not – unknown allergy to peanuts of shellfish, or anaphylactic shock from induced reaction of toxin in blood + consumption of food containing the now-toxin.

Depends on what you’re looking for, especially if talking about research for books. BTW, you can substitute many gasses for Nitrogen, and you could even use PURE OXYGEN to accomplish it. TOO MUCH oxygen blows the mind quite well, according to fighter pilots I read interviews with – almost like not getting ENOUGH oxygen, except you feel on top of the world. (For comparison – there ARE oxygen bars…) And to be really brutal about it, liquid nitrogen poured on a person will result in a hell of a mess after a baseball bat is applied…. Immersion in liquid (whatever), followed by severe impact trauma. Detectable in the sense there’s no body. Undetectable for same reason.

BTW, Sherlock Homes has some very good murders that had people hide their tracks. Fishline that pulled a gun’s trigger and knocked it off the wall mount – looks like suicide. The nitrogen trick. That sort of thing.
And CSI (original only) is REALLY good, as they focus on the science as much as the drama. (The others seem to just be spin-off Dramas, science need not apply.)

Also, BTW, for indiscriminate options, detectable but hard to trace, look up industrial accidents. Many gasses are toxic, and many things can go “boom” by “accident”, and affect people though burning or lack of oxygen. You don’t need to take out the AIR, just the OXYGEN. Flash-flame type heat, plus long-term thorough burn. Burn off the hair at most, like if you pass the flame of a lighter across your hand hairs – no injury, just burned fuzz. But keep a sustained low flame, removing the oxygen from the air? Dead target. Limited evidence, it’s just an accident…

If you have time, BTW, there are also parasites you could introduce. Worms, amoebas, etc; Asbestos; lead; etc.

How well does your character know the target? How angry, how aggressive? Most people aren’t poisoners. They’ll shoot someone, stab them, blow them up – but not poison them over a nice cup of tea.
😉

There are many states with speedy trial laws. Under the law in my state, if they cannot get a case to trial within 9 months, all charges are dropped.

In response, the first thing prosecutors hand the accused to sign is usually a waiver of the time requirement for a speedy trial, while mumbling sign here, and here. Once they have that waiver, they can take as long as they want.

I’ve been preaching to all who listen that you sign NOTHING for the authorities. No forms, no papers. If they want your consent for something, refuse.

I should start wearing a T-shirt labeled “I do not consent”.

I was never asked if I wanted to pay all these taxes. I would never have consented to most of taxes they collect at the point of a gun (try not paying and see what happens). Yet, here I am getting fleeced by all the government parasites.

No shit.

jean, if you ever find that link for the zombie movies I’d enjoy reading it. As you said though, comparing liberals and conservatives, zombies could be either group since there isn’t really that much difference in the two. They all want to be right and control everyone else. No, they are right, all the time, just ask one, either one. One reason I appreciated Zombieland so much was the comedic value of it. It was funny right from the gitgo. It’s a good movie when you need to disengage from the heavy lifting thinking we probably all do too much of but we can’t help. Not a great sentence there but hopefully understandable.

Just remember that the a**hole cannot sustain the body alone. Without food, water, air and blood circulation, the a**hole quickly dies.

And the a**holes of control and aggression eventually kill off too many of those upon which they depend for life. They pursue the productive thinkers as the enemy, and eventually push them too far.

The cycle has gone on for all of recorded history, and probably long before.

Nothing is forever. Whoever gains “control” over others cannot keep it for too long. That’s just the nature of the beast.

Actually, if you say:
“[I] have no clue how many laws [I]’ve broken today, or yesterday. ”

Then you’re guilty, and need to just plead out. They have a confession.

Kill them. Active resistance is all that’s left.

Funny how that’s been their goal all along anyway – create armed insurrection (crisis) to then respond to (martial law, gun grabs, internment in FEMA camps, whatever.) All we evil Zombies go to FEMA camps, while the “good people” who “have nothing to fear” go about their normal lives…

“When they came for the Zombies, I didn’t speak out, because I wasn’t a Zombie…” (Trade Unionist, Christian, Jew, etc.) Important ending: When they came for me, there was no one LEFT to speak out.

Also, the story of the Hangman, who built the gallows for his most faithful servant. The hangman was death, of course; representing physical and cultural death. He went after the witches, and hung them, and then the harpies,a nd huing them, and the highwaymen, and the robbers, and the scolds, and finally everyone in the town was dead, save one: and there came a knock at the door, as the Hangman came for his most faithful servant, who spoke not a word as everyone else was killed.

What I cannot fathom about these people is: Life sucks, on the GOOD days. You have children, and want to keep them innocent and pure? You have a “good life” with a wife, and children, maybe grandchildren? You have social standing? Wealth? Whatever you have – YOU WERE BORN WITH A DEATH SENTENCE. Wake the FUCK up, already. NO ONE gets out of life alive, and all the toys, wealth, family, social status in the world won’t change a damn thing.
If you can look yourself in the mirror after doing something heinous: are you even human?

And if YOU won’t do what’s encessary, when teh tools can be obtained: Will you resist when your children are carted off to the Hunger Games? Will your CHILDREN be forced to resist, when the tools are all denied to them, the government edicts to turn their children over to government sibcos? (Sibling Companies, from batteletech, convenient name to appropriate.)

Brave New World is HERE. Children go to government indoctrination centers all day and watch government propaganda all night, while adults who don’t have time to stay “hip” or “current” because they both MUST work to make ends meet try to tend to the children’s needs before the child realizes they HAVE needs. And the oldsters who USED to keep society together by telling the old stories of the culture, they’re off in retirment homes and assisted living because their minds are GONE, partially because of shit diet (enforced by government FDA edicts), partially by government edicts (EPA can’t keep the water pure – we consume pharamceuticals and toxins in our drinking water, from Premarin to Birth Control to Paxil to Zoloft to Abilify to… And then there’s the untreated human waste, like urea), and partially via social conditioning using mass media (Mom and Dad would eb MUCH HAPPIER with their OWN KIND at Happy Acres / Shady Pines rest home.)

A culture bent on suicide WILL die, the biggest questions are WHEN and Where do you go?
We’re losing by demographics (across the ethnicities, the have-nots always outnumber the haves, and the non-productive always outnumber the productive, EXCEPT in birth rates where nature inverts the equation, on purpose: the “productive” of offspring, like insects and snakes and vermin and fish, breed as quickly as possible to keep the race alive; the truly productive creatures, who invest in their offspring, are too busy PRODUCING to breed in numbers, and so get bred out by demographic shift. Hence ensuring the Have-nots always outnumber the Haves. think Rabbits and Wolves: Wolves teach their young the laws of the pack; Rabbits breed. Which is food, which is ruler?)
We are ALSO losing by ethnicity, as unrestrcited and intentioned illegal immigration changes the voting patterns (why we allow illegals to vote and to get social welfare programs is beyond me, but the bleeding-heart imbeciles want to swell the ranks of the easily-distracted Have-nots, I guess.)
We have LOST education, wealth, media, medicine, government.

There’s a historical precedent for what happens next (in fact, there are TWO, and we’ll likely follow the second one this time)
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

…”

(The second used the terms, “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite.” Look where THAT ended.)

LIbertymike, actually I don’t think that at all. Corporations were formed as an alliance between those who desire anonymity in all respects and the courts. I don’t think they should be legal but it’s the way too many people do business right now. The whole problem with this country is it is a corporatocracy. Do you never see the evil done by corporations and no one is held accountable, even when what has been done is clearly a transgression against others, knowingly killing others? I’d say corporations that kill should be held responsible for their actions but that’s the entire point of a corporation. It’s gotten much worse as the years have passed. Corporations started as a means to not pay taxes. Now it’s much worse than that.
