Dog fires off multiple gunshots, hits driver near Nebraska gas station: cops
Dog fires off multiple gunshots, hits driver near Nebraska gas station: cops
The curious canine quickly started to rifle around in the back seat and came across a shotgun. Somehow, the pooch popped off several shots straight through the passenger side door, according to police reports obtained by KNOP.

The dog was cleaning it's gun, and it accidentally went off.
Off the books. IMO this guy is a creation. Nobody gets TS clearance with such BS not being found.

A former senior CIA official with top secret-level clearance is accused of stealing hundreds of gold bars worth more than $40 million from the federal government and stashing them in his home.
David Rush was arrested and charged with criminal theft of public money last week, according to federal court filings in Virginia, where he lives.
From November to March, Rush requested and received a “significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses,” according to an affidavit from an FBI agent investigating the case.

And not just that. My understanding from a couple of retired field ops is that they get polygraphed yearly among other assessments. Of course, it depends on the questions being asked but the CIA have had lots of practice over the years to make a pretty solid assessment. Pocketing a few bucks off of "travel expenses" or smuggling Cuban cigars in the diplomatic pouch yeah, but that ain't taking 40M in gold with no oversight. Doesn't ring true but then I wouldn't expect the press to have the full inside story either. They don't like to talk outside of class and when they do it's often a cover story. You don't get into the CIA, especially field operations, without some serious vetting and testing.
They live among us ... 
Tobacco plant altered to produce five psychedelic drugs
I've heard of cigarettes making a new smoker's head spin, but this brings it to a whole new level of giddiness...

They've been doing this for while. Tobacco is a plant that is easy to work with for genetic experiments.

Abstract
Tobacco (Nicotiana sp.) is of the most often used model plants for research in the field of physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetic engineering. Tobacco was also the first plant subject to genetic transformation--in 1983 the plant was introduced with the kanamycin resistance gene. The internet database PubMed includes roughly 3,500 records concerning transgenic tobacco, out of which nearly 200 works were published this year. Advancement of state-of-the-art techniques of genetic engineering offers new, as yet unprecedented opportunities to take advantage of tobacco. Apparently tobacco is not only a source of carcinogenic tobacco smoke, but also a plant which due to genetic modifications may be used in a positive way in medicine and biological sciences. The aim of the article is to summarize the role of genetically modified Nicotiana genus plants in modern medicine and environmental protection. The publication describes the usage of transgenic plants in the tobacco industry and evaluates possible effects of such applications. Moreover, potential possibilities of deployment of genetically modified tobacco for production of anti-virus and antibacterial vaccinations, interferon, antibodies, etc. have been characterized.

"I like cigarettes, Miss Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette thinking. I wonder what great things have come from those hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind - and it is only proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression." ~AR.
