North America Harbors the
World's Most Dangerous Terrorists

“After the explosion itself,
anyone on the edge of the explosion (who were lucky enough to
survive) would have melted flesh and severe burns, the skin would
literally fall off the bone. Anyone who had seen the blast from such
a distance would have permanent loss of vision.”

A little
perspective, please
After years of living under the perpetual risk of the ultimate terrorist
attack, most people have become acclimated to the distinct possibility
of imminent extinction of life on Earth. Fortunately, humans tend to be
highly adaptable beings, and most are able to go on with their daily
tasks without dwelling on potential doomsday scenarios.
In fact, people have become so desensitized to the threat of nuclear
holocaust that those who still believe American propaganda are more
terrified of religious fanatics wielding box cutters than they are of an
ICBM capable of annihilating millions.
According to the FBI, domestic terrorism is:
“the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a
group or individual based and operating entirely within the United
States or its territories without foreign direction committed against
persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or
social objectives.”
Given the knowledge that it is the United States which created and
primarily wields the power to extinguish life on Earth, it is not a
tremendous intellectual leap to classify the American government as the
world’s most dangerous and most powerful terrorist.
America’s own domestic law enforcement entity has defined terrorism as
“threatened use of force or violence”, intimidation, and coercion
against governments or civilian populations for the “furtherance of
political or social objectives”.
What could be more threatening or violent than a nuclear attack? What
could be more coercive than the US imposition of its will, culture, and
ruthless economic agenda on a global populace like a domineering father
abusing his cowed children? Employing terrorist tools of intimidation,
coercion and threats of violence, the United States consistently sets
the political and social objectives for the rest of the world.
Remember, Iran, “All options are on
the table.”
America is the Don Corleone of the world community. They make offers you
can’t refuse. “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” delivered the Sicilian message
that nations defying the United States would find many of their innocent
civilians “sleeping with the fishes”. 200,000 dead Japanese showed the
skeptics that the Godfather meant business.
Bearing in mind that the atomic bombs deployed in Japan were mere
firecrackers relative to today’s nukes, the following puts a grim
perspective on the situation:
“A single Hiroshima-size blast in downtown Los Angeles, according to
a computer projection done several years ago by Physicians for Social
Responsibility, would kill about 150,000 people immediately and 100,000
more from neutron and gamma radiation. An additional 800,000 people
would be exposed to high-level radiation.” (Seattle
Times)
Evil begets evil
Not only did the United States let the nuclear genie out of the bottle
and unleash it on humanity, through Operation Paperclip, it provided
safe haven for Nazi war criminals. During and after World War II, the
CIA altered the records of Nazi scientists so they could enter the
United States and contribute to the evolution of America’s nuclear
weapons program.
Needing an “enemy” for its indoctrinated citizens to fear, the United
States began demonizing Communism in the 1950’s. As they created their
“bogeyman” so they could manipulate the masses with psychological
terror, America’s leaders pushed a nation with a much weaker economy
into an insane scenario of Mutually Assured Destruction and an arms
race. By 2004, Russia’s stockpile of warheads had the combined power of
120,000 of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima.
The combined nuclear capacity of the
United States and Russia at the height of the nuclear arms race was
enough to eradicate the Earth of life 1,500 times over.
When is enough, enough?
According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, in 2004 the United
States had 10,000 nuclear warheads, 7,000 of which were operational. Yet
existing in a realm of thought where logic ceases to exist, America's
leaders are obsessed with “national security”. The United States
accounts for half of the world’s military expenditures to protect 350
million of the 6.5 billion people on Earth.
With over 500 land-based ICBMs, the United States can incinerate any
region of a 4.5 billion year old planet within a mere 35 minutes. The
Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles are only one leg of
America’s triad of doom. Submarine-based Trident nuclear missiles have
the capacity to unleash Armageddon from the depths of the Earth’s
tranquil oceans. Maintaining a fleet of B-1, B-2, and B-52 long-range
bombers, the USAF can also rain nuclear hell upon millions of
unsuspecting “units of collateral damage”.
Desperation and treachery are the
parents of US nuclear invention
Realizing that the “Nuclear Club” is rapidly expanding, the United
States is desperately seeking ways to circumvent treaties in which they
have pledged to work toward the elimination of nuclear weapons. As they
down-sized their nuclear stock-pile in the 1990’s by retiring ICBM’s
like the Peacekeeper, America’s leadership found ways to avoid truly
surrendering its tools of terror.
The United States began diverting substantial portions of its obscene
defense budget to its Stockpile Stewardship Program to perpetuate and
expand its nuclear capacities. Consider this 1996 statement by the
Department of Energy:
"[n]ational security policies in the post-Cold War era require that
all historical capabilities of the weapons laboratories, industrial
plants, and NTS [the Nevada Test Site] be maintained," and that "denuclearisation...
is not feasible based on current national security policy."
With the ethereal nuclear genie slipping further from its grasp, the
United States is now focusing its resources and determined efforts
toward ensuring nuclear proliferation to those it deems deserving.
Israel, the US satellite in the Middle East, and India, a nation Uncle
Sam is determined to lure into his bed, both qualify. Iran and North
Korea are obviously not welcome at the nuclear party, whether they apply
the technology for military purposes or not.
On the domestic front, America’s bellicose government is emphasizing the
enhancement of existing nuclear weapons to give the appearance that it
is not developing new ones. For example, the B61-11 is a modification of
the B61, a “tactical nuke” which “only” has 2/3 the power of the bomb
dropped on Hiroshima. To neutralize nations which have developed weapons
facilities deep underground, America created the B61-11 to burrow into
rock before discharging its nuclear payload. America’s Neocons are
itching to play with their new toys in Iran.
The Pentagon claims that these “bunker busters” would pose no threat to
life outside of the underground targets. However, Dr. Robert Nelson of
Princeton University offers a significantly differing opinion:
"No earth-burrowing missile can penetrate deep enough into the earth
to contain an explosion with a nuclear yield even as small as 1 percent
of the 15 kiloton Hiroshima weapon. "The explosion simply blows out a
massive crater of radioactive dirt, which rains down on the local region
with an especially intense and deadly fallout."
Dr. Nelson’s analysis is substantially more seaworthy than the stone the
Pentagon tried to float when they proclaimed earth-burrowing
“mini-nukes” to be “safe”.
A Messiah complex, severely stunted emotional intelligence and profound
ignorance are the defining characteristics of the man capable of making
nuclear holocaust a reality within minutes. In light of this, Osama bin
Laden, box-cutters, and suicide bombers don’t seem quite so formidable
or worrisome.
