Stucky Q.O.T.D. — NuCleeAr Bombs

Da Niggah in Da White House believes mankind’s greatest threat is Globull Warming …. while he pushes for a trillion dollar upgrade to ‘Murika’s nuke bombs capability.

Please read the horrifying article below, and then answer the following two questions;

—–1) Do you believe there will be a Nuke War in your lifetime?

—–2) IF your answer is “yes”, then how should you live? Why prep? Why save? Why worry about anything? Why do anything except adopt your lifestyle as stated in  Isaiah 22:13  ………  ‘Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.’?

Good bye Deism. Hello Epicurus!  Won’t you join me?

============================================

INSANE: Russia and US Are Building Terrifying New Doomsday A-Bombs

Pictured: About 45 nukes, each capable of destroying an entire city. There are about 25,000 – 30,000 nukes worldwide.

The horror and reactions to the Paris massacre have overshadowed a troubling new twist in the U.S.-Russian rivalry that could prove even more terrifying. Russian state media recently “accidentally” revealed plans for a bizarre new nuclear torpedo. More of an underwater drone, it is designed to swim 6,000 miles — enough to span the oceans underwater just as long-range missiles do in the air.

It would detonate a huge warhead, a hydrogen bomb equal to a million tons of TNT or more but “salted” with special metals to vastly increase the amount of radiation it would pour into a U.S. port city.

The explosion would create a radioactive tsunami. The purpose, according to Russian TV, would be to devastate “the important components of the adversary’s economy in a coastal area and [inflict] unacceptable damage to a country’s territory by creating areas of wide radioactive contamination that would be unsuitable for military, economic or other activity for long periods of time.”

This is an insane, inhumane weapon that deliberately targets civilians. It deliberately seeks to turn a city into a radioactive wasteland that would last for decades. It is a throwback to the worse designs of the Cold War, long since abandoned.

Russia’s nuclear torpedo deliberately seeks to turn a city into a radioactive wasteland that would last for decades.

 
 

In the early 1950s, U.S. General Douglas MacArthur wanted to drop dozens of enhanced radiation “cobalt bombs” on the Korean border to create a poisonous barrier to advancing Chinese troops. In the 1970s, U.S. nuclear scientists designed a “neutron bomb” with intense bursts of radiation to increase the number of people killed but lessen the number of buildings destroyed by blast and heat. Then-Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger hoped it would make it more likely we would use nuclear weapons in a European war, thus theoretically adding to their deterrent value.

American presidents rejected these weapons. None were ever constructed. We thought that such grotesque concepts had been buried with the Cold War, along with notions of doomsday machines, featured in various sci-fi movies and at least one of which was actually built.

Well, they’re back. Indeed, that may have been the point of the Russian reveal. As Dr. Strangelove said in Stanley Kubrick’s epic film, “The whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost if you keep it a secret.”

We thought that such grotesque concepts had been buried with the Cold War.

 
 

The Russians want us to know about it. The new Russian “dirty” H-bomb is the latest move in a new arms race that could bring Russia and America back to the nuclear brink.

The Russians are building new nuclear-armed missiles, bombers and submarines to replace those built in the 1980s and now reaching the end of their operational lives. They claim that they must modernize their arsenal and increase the role of nuclear weapons in their military doctrine to counter U.S. missile interceptors being deployed in Europe. These, they say, could “neutralize” their nuclear deterrent, allowing the U.S. and NATO to dominate Russia.

The U.S. is rearming as well. The Obama administration is planning to spend over $1 trillion in the next 30 years on an entire new generation of nuclear bombs, bombers, missiles and submarines to replace those built during the Reagan years. This is a staggering turn around for a president who promised “to put an end to Cold War thinking, [by reducing] the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy.”

The Obama administration is planning to spend over $1 trillion in the next 30 years on an entire new generation of nuclear bombs, bombers, missiles and submarines to replace those built during the Reagan years.

 
 

First up, the U.S. will deploy almost 200 new nuclear bombs in Europe. More accurate than the current bombs, proponents argue they are more usable in battles.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is developing 12 new submarines to prowl the world’s oceans, carrying over 1,000 warheads on missiles that can hit any spot on earth. The U.S. Air Force is developing a new strategic bomber and wants 1,000 new cruise missiles to go with them, plus a new fleet of almost 650 intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Individually, none carry a warhead as big at the Russian nuclear torpedo, but collectively they would unleash death and destruction on a massive scale. All of these systems deliver hydrogen bombs — weapons that are 10, 20, even 30 times more powerful than the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We don’t know if the Russians think they can afford this new arms race, but we do know that there is great concern in the defense department. Pentagon Comptroller Michael McCord told Inside Defense last week that the price tag for all these new nuclear weapons “is the biggest acquisition problem that we don’t know how to solve yet.”

All of these systems deliver hydrogen bombs — weapons that are 10, 20, even 30 times more powerful than the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

 
 

For example, when the Navy’s new nuclear sub goes into production, it will devour almost half of the Navy’s annual shipbuilding budget. These nuclear terror weapons threaten to siphon away funds needed for the conventional weapons actually used by troops in combat, to fight the self-described Islamic State for example.

This is a dangerous situation. In his new book, “My Journey at the Nuclear Brink,” former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry warns “far from continuing the nuclear disarmament that has been underway for the last two decades, we are starting a new nuclear arms race.”

What should we do about this new Russian weapon, for example? It won’t be long before someone calls for a massive new program to deploy underwater anti-torpedo drones to counter Russia’s concept.

Rather than build more weapons, Perry wants President Obama to build fewer. In a recent op-ed with former Director of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Council Andy Weber, the two urge Obama to kill the new cruise missile. Instead, they say we should champion a new effort to ban these “extremely destabilizing” weapons.

These nuclear terror weapons threaten to siphon away funds needed for the conventional weapons actually used by troops in combat, to fight ISIS for example.

 
 

A similar push could be made to ban weapons like the Russian torpedo. The U.S. could take the lead in denouncing these weapons as inhumane and incompatible with modern civilization.

We would be in good company. Pope Francis called for a ban on all nuclear weapons at the United Nations this September, saying their “threat of mutual destruction” was “an affront to the entire framework of the United Nations.”

Analyst Jeffrey Lewis argues passionately for just such an approach. The levels of destruction in the U.S. and Russian arsenals are far beyond anything needed for deterrence. “Why not admit that nuclear weapons are awful?” he asks. “And that it would be a humanitarian catastrophe if even a single bomb were ever dropped.”

It would be a powerful move. But unless Obama acts soon, his nuclear policy legacy may be the launch of a terrifying arms race that threatens destruction far beyond the horrors committed by ISIS.

Remember The Amazing Kreskin?

Not only is he still alive he made these predictions going forward:

“I predict, regarding the $15 minimum wage, that yes, it will spread rapidly across the United States and it’s going to succeed in erasing and eradicating thousands of jobs.”

Kreskin said something will happen that will rock American politics.

“I think a very, very important change in government will take place in the next six or seven years that will involve two young men, I’m not saying that gals are not going to be involved as well.

And then:

“A day is going to come when we will have the spirit we once had, when to fight a war — and this is a war the likes of which we’ve never had before — is going to take everyone involved.

It’s not a war against the United States, the military will bring back the draft, it’s a war against the free-thinking world.

I hope I’m wrong,” honestly, and I say this in my heart and soul, I don’t believe there’s any human being alive to see the end of this war.”

So there you go…….

“‘Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.” None of us are here forever, live your life to the fullest and as you see fit.

If that’s eating a pound of bacon a day or green smoothies, prepping or spending every dime, drinking (like me) or abstaining, exercise, or sit on a couch, worrying about the future or being informed by reading TBP.

Peace

This is all just posturing, much like Saddam announcing his numerous WMD that didn’t exist. The Russians want us to spend ourselves into oblivion, knowing full well that we will never initiate a nuclear war.

The problems the Russians have is that the United States CAN spend forever. There is really no country or group of countries that could put a check on this. The dollar is king and the USA is king because we say so, forever. Case closed.

In preparation, the Elite have had built and stocked 200 DUMBs at taxpayer expense for themselves (and 800 FEMA Fallout Suicide Camps for the Goy). You may prepare to die but I am preparing to live.

I am still convinced that Russia/USA conflict is kabuki theatre, that Putin and western governments work for the same people (think our banks) and that is who they take their marching orders from.

Bankers and their ilk want a reduced population of servile slaves – not a smouldering piece of rock and steel to rule over.

War? Yes. Complete and utter annihilation of the planet? Doubtful.

None of the 3 super powers would gain anything by starting a nuclear war. But war becomes peace via posturing. Actual war is thus held to the periphery, such as in Ukraine and Syria.

What we need to accept is: war is normal. We love war. We need an outlet for our love of war and what better than (1) spending trillions on made up global warming, and (2) restricting actual war to where few care such as in Africa and the Middle East?

@ Francis Marion

I think you’re making quite the leap of faith – that the bankers in charge are proper rational people.

Some children would rather smash their LEGO then share it. I see the bankers as examples of true psychopaths (not ignoring morality or with a weak sense of it, but viewing morality as a totally alien concept beyond contempt) willing to burn the world and themselves with it rather than be seen on par with the rest of us.

Anything substantial that could threaten their monopoly on power might trigger just one (just one is enough to cascade to say ‘Well fuck it then, press the button my minion’. I’ve lost my faith that there are enough level headed people to interrupt the chain. Someone will press the button because they were told to, or more likely because of a belief that they (and their clan) will be around to pick up the pieces.

An aside – this is why Trump as president scares me: What happens if he’s elected, truly believing his plan will ‘make America great again’ and it fails spectacularly in 2 years. He strikes me as the select type of narcissist who would rather not be remembered by anyone than be remembered as a failure.

Nuclear weapons are a bit ironic as they offer simultaneously the best and the worst ways to die. here are three ways to die from nuclear war:

1) You are directly within a blast. Result: your whole body is vaporized in microseconds. Since none of the body’s systems can respond to any stimuli faster than a millisecond, you are aware of nothing, feel nothing and are instantly shuttled off to wherever else there may be.

2) You are far from a blast, but exposed. Result: You are most likely blind, quite possibly deaf, most certainly burned and dying of radiation exposure. Your death is certain, but incredibly slow and painful.

3) You are sufficiently shielded fro a blast. You also have the ability to remain underground for a couple of weeks while the worst of the fallout recedes. You emerge into a world without sunlight, with poisoned soil and water and nothing but ugly twisted wrecks of former civilization. You either die over the next year or two from starvation, or if very well-prepared, you eventually blow your brains out from despair.

Point is, nuclear war is probably best avoided.

Cheers. 🙂

Agree with Francis Marion, there will be no nuclear war unless TPTB want one; however they are true psychopaths, and some of them will cheerfully blow up the world rather than loose their grip on it. Their enemy is not Putin or ISIS, it’s us.

I think nuclear war is far more likely now than at any other time in my life. The elitist owners probably won’t risk employing nuclear party favors as it sort of defeats the purpose of milking us of all our wealth but it would be deliciously ironical no?

If it’s going to happen, I personally would love to see and even be bowled over by a nuclear blast but I’d prefer a human extinction that leaves all the other critters unharmed and breathing a sigh of relief that the plague is finally over.

Merry Christmas!

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Of course not. I seek to reset relations with Russia because I believe that Americans and Russians have many common interests, interests that our governments recently have not pursued as actively as we could have. For instance, I believe that Americans and Russians both would benefit from fewer nuclear weapons in the world

mhmm, reset back to the height of the coldwar no doubt.

Interesting to note that America is “going to upgrade” their capability over 30 years (i.e. the usual lifespan on systems), whilst Russia HAS upgraded their systems, and will continue to upgrade / expand in the face of all those broken Western promises since the end of the Cold War – the most egregious being the firm promise of no further eastward expansion of NATO.

As a DIRECT result of western expansionism, Russia is currently fielding 40 new ICBMs this year, and has expanded the TU160 build programme (and propulsion systems upgrade programme), along with allocated funding for very significant new aircraft / shipping / air defence integrated (and very modern) systems.

In the meantime, the US is beyond broke, continues to stir up trouble on as many fronts as possible, continues to demonstrate jaw-dropping military negligence in target selection, and by doing so reliably expands the list of Nations that would not bat an eyelid if the US was to suddenly “encounter problems”.

Just today – https://www.rt.com/news/326420-iraq-us-air-strike/, and http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-18/japan-prepares-missile-blockade-east-china-sea-halt-chinese-maritime-aggression – and we all know who is behind this “Japanese” plan, don’t we.

We’ve read this Fall of a couple of times when the world was just one flunkie’s decision away from a nuclear war. Fortunately the guys were weak-willed enough to wait. Fortunately there was no button pushed and no catastrophe.
Now, with more weapons, NeoCon hotheads in control in America, and their historical desire to push and win whatever the cost, I think the chances of the United States forcing a nuclear war with Russia and/or China are significant.
I hope I’m wrong but I’m not optimistic. Over the decades I’ve noticed that I seem to have a sense of the foretelling the future. Oh, not exactly of course, but generally. Maybe it’s because I read a lot and think about historical and future trends. These days my sense of the future is making me nervous about the likelyhood of more war and nuclear war.
It’s been 70+ years since nucear weapons were used – that is unless you believe VT’s reports about more recent events in the United States and Syria. When have weapons systems ever sat idle for so long?
One of the groups that controls this country is a group whose founders and earliest heroes were religious lawbreakers and genocides. Another controlling group has been quick to invade, kill, and conquer as jackboots do. A third group has had no compunction against killing to create profits. None of these powerful groups has ever shown any inclination to live by American ideals – rhetoric doesn’t count.
The good old US of A isn’t controlled by the practical George Washington, the idealistic Thomas Jefferson, the sensible Calvin Coolidge, and other earlier and later Founding Fathers anymore.
The neo-Machiavellian NeoCons are in the saddle.
So back to Stucky’s questions.
1. A nuclear war in my lifetime? – There’s a very risky chance. I’ll say 20 to 25%.
2. How would I prep and live? – I live in a small Great American Desert town, not a coastal or central city. I store survival food for two or three months. I have access to water and fuel for that time or longer.
Why “eat, drink, and be merry”? That’s not my lifestyle; it’s not comfortable for me. No matter what the future holds, I’ll live in a way that’s satisfying to me.
Good question Stucky.

For some perspective re WW1 read Stpehan Zweig’s “The World of Yesterday.” The positive attitudes of early 20thC Europeans about their times and the future, their political immaturity and susceptibilty to propaganda, and how their world turnd upside down overnight are well set out.
Hopefully Zweig’s story isn’t a realistic parable for out times.

In all likely hood there will be a exchange of Nuclear Weapons on a limited scale within the next 10 years. Whether it is Pakistan vs India. Iran vs Israel , North Korea vs the US, US vs China, Russia Vs US. and so on If Russia nuked DC, New York, Chicago and 2 or 3 other cities the US would collapse. I believe the US would capitulate and not retaliate (so as to avoid total destruction) Too many hot spots brewing. The world will be a messy and quieter place in a decade or so. I do not think you will see global thermonuclear war where every one expends every weapon. But once they start lighting nukes off anything is possible

I get downed to hell and back and beaten about the head something terrible every time I tell this story…….but here goes.

Some 8 to 10 years ago in a town I lived in when I was young called Madison, GA there were stacks and stacks of of black coffin liners called FEMA Coffins by people who don’t trust the gubmint. We are talking hundreds of thousands of coffin liners stacked fifteen high and as far as the eye could see, much like looking at a very long train. Each coffin liner can hold up to three adult bodies per liner.

The people in a town near Madison called Perry, GA got all up in arms and demanded the gubmint start explaining what was the purpose of so many coffins, which were handled and distributed by the CDC.

An official meeting was held in Perry and was attended by some top military brass and a CONgress critter who informed the folks in Perry that there is to be a nuclear exchange and the coffins were needed for the aftermath. Short, sweet and to the point a NUCLEAR EXCHANGE. They could be lying, God knows it won’t be the first time. It could be to cover that it will be a biological attack, who knows . But that is what they said, nuclear attack.

If you have never seen these stacks of FEMA coffins, check them out as it is surely a grim sight that makes you sick to your stomach.

Stucky , yes I think some of the POCB’s will nuke their rivals, where does that lead to , I don’t know .

How would I live ? I do not know . Altho I have a semi unique skill set . It seems you always revert back to your training . No one knows the exact hour of their demise. I do not think that I would go quietly into the night . It is not in me to give up. I am at the top of the food chain , as all of you are .

Prepare your mind for hardship of the worst kind , and you will prevail . Or give pause to others because the cost of going against a prepared mind is high .

He is a narcissist but he will do as he’s told if for no other reason than he will not want to be the one left holding the bag when the banks tell him no. No more extend and pretend. He will do as he’s told or the cookie jar will not get filled.

As for the lego analogy – let’s assume for a moment that Putin is a pawn as I have suggested – a very sly, intelligent statesman but a pawn non the less – doing as he is told. At least half the people on this board more or less admire the guy because he appears/is bright. Now imagine – how stupid or bright are the people that control such a man?

This world is made of layers upon layers of illusion. The truth exists no doubt – the trouble is in rooting it out. Some things will never be known by the likes of us. All we can say for sure is that we are mislead in general, surrounded by lies and live in a world where corruption is the rule.

So whatever it is you believe about another man – especially when it comes to ANYTHING political – think twice.

The Republican neo-cons want a nuclear war as part of their playbook for a “new world order”. Just like 911 was the “Pearl Harbor” event, so is decreasing the surplus population, and what better way than with a nuclear war. All the “important people” will be safely tucked away in their reinforced and well-stocked bunkers, until the “all clear” is given and the surviving gentry are directed to begin the clean up work.

I just hope the rest of their “plan for a new America” or whatever it’s called is leaked before they can get all the pieces in position.

While we’re waiting, here’s a really dark movie from the early 80’s all about a terror nuke attack on Charleston SC. Although the graphics are definitely 80’s it’s interesting to see how it compares with what we see on today’s news.
