One Mistake Before Armageddon

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Each of us faces each day threats to our health, happiness, and life. Overarching it all, we collectively face death from nuclear weapons.

The development of nuclear weapons was a human stupidity. They cannot be used, but their existence threatens the life of the planet.  So why have them?  Accident, emotional response, loss of reason are all human faults that can come into play at any time.

During the 20th century Cold War these dangers were underlined by the Cuban Missile Crisis.  President Nixon led the way to sanity with arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and his opening to China. Presidents Carter and Reagan kept the momentum going for reduced tensions and peaceful coexistence.

The turnaround came with the Soviet collapse.  The neoconservatives took advantage of Russian weakness and prevailed on President Clinton to break the promise given by the George H.W. Bush administration to Gorbachev not to move NATO to Soviet borders if Gorbachev permitted the reunification of Germany.  The George W. Bush and Obama administrations continued the hostile policy that Clinton renewed.

Today all the arms control agreements that reduced tensions and the danger of nuclear confrontation are erased.  The last one–never ratified by the US–was revoked by the upper house of Russia’s parliament last Wednesday https://tass.com/politics/1696519 .  Tass, the Russian news agency, reported that “Achieving the goal of preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons is not deemed possible in the current international situation, given the destructive position of the United States.”

Also last Wednesday Gilbert Doctorow reported from the Russian media that Russia had just completed a successful test of its land, sea, and air launched nuclear missile triad. “Considering the location of the missile launches and the radius of possible strikes, it does not take much imagination to conclude that the enemy being attacked was the U.S. of A.  . . . The capability being tested was for a massive retaliatory strike.” https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/breaking-news-russia-tests-its-nuclear?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1203055&post_id=138284634&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx5km&utm_medium=email

The White House fool, his insane neoconservative regime, mindless European puppets and whore Western media have convinced Russia that there is neither intelligence nor reason to be found in the Western World and Russia has no alternative but to prepare for war.  I have long warned that this was the conclusion toward which our irresponsible leaders were driving the Russians.  What this means is that the slightest mistake, the slightest false warning can now ignite nuclear Armageddon.

Meanwhile the media focuses on political gossip, Americans scroll their cell phones and complain about inflation, and the threat to the existence of life on earth goes unremarked.

The War Begins

US Launches Strikes in Syria

Washington is illegally in an act of aggression occupying a part of Syria and calls an attack on its occupying forces “terrorism.”

But war is wanted, war is needed, 3/4 of the world population needs to be reduces. One wonders if these idiots realize what they will face when they eventually have to leave their nuclear proof bunkers? Maybe a quick death is better?

Most folks are just plain ‘tarded but the government is truly the United Stupid States of America. Yes, they killed the goose that laid the golden eggs and a whole bunch of innocent people for Bringing Them Democracy TM; because evil happens. So bankrupt and corrupted as to be having a final spin at being the world’s hegemon.

Nukes saved thousands of American lives and prevented a major war between major powers since Hiroshima.

That’s the story.

Not sure how you could possibly quantify how many lives have been “saved” by nukes, but you do you.

No atomic weapon ever detonated as claimed.

Seriously, they claimed, that in 1945, they designed a shaped charge around processed uranium, that detonated with EXACTLY EVEN INWARD pressure at all points of the uranium center.

Or the “we slammed two hunks of metal together”
Ridiculous.

And they accomplished this with slide rules and paper.

_________

The only remote way to fission enriched uranium is with a lightning bolt level charge.
Sans that?
Powdered yellowcake is extremely flammable and highly explosive if suspended as particles in the air at high enough density.
One could theoretically dump a cloud of yellowcake uranium on a city and detonate it with lighting or an explosive for a huge explosion…like a fuel air bomb.

Other than that?
Almost every nuke det film was produced at Lookout Mountain.

He is saying that Nuclear Weapons as we know them are fake and gay. It’s an interesting theory when you dig into it. The idea that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essentially massive firebombs that we claimed were atomic bombs. That the rest are just fake and gay posturing and special effects. The biggest issue, is why would others play along? Eventually someone somewhere would whistle blow with actual evidence. Now today that might mean nothing because of the complete control of the mass media, but in the times before complete consolidation of information control? Someone would have spilled the beans and there would at least have been SOME media coverage.

It is an idiotic theory pushed by idiots that believe the earth is flat. I am old enough to remember the accounts of nuclear testing, and the people who died terrible deaths from the radiation. Above ground nuclear testing was done several times from the late 1940’s to the late 1950’s before public outcry forced the government to move the tests to the Pacific and underground. The US government used both military personnel and civilian’s to test the effects of nuclear explosions. Do some study on the effects on the populations of places like St. George from the fallout from nuclear tests. I have talked to people who’s relative’s were guinny pigs for the military, and witnessed tests and died shortly after. The Mandela Effect is being used to brainwash a lot of you.

You saw these people dead from radiation in tests.
I never said radiation was not deadly or did not exist,
Yes they exploded yellowcake enriched uranium in fuel air bombs, all that fuel that did NOT DETONATE/BURN went downwind and poisoned a lot of people.
That, does not prove their claims of detonation method.
Any cloud of powdered uranium falling on the citizens will cause massive problems for health.

I know it’s hard, but kick down the walls of your prison and at least consider the possibilities…

Provided: A rational, logical, reasonable alternative explanation for the radiation death narratives from “atomic testing” programs.

Protip: look for the lightning triggering wire trailing rockets launched as the initiation sequence of every above ground “nuclear test”*
The conductor trailing rockets trigger lightning into the yellowcake fuel air bomb for a massive explosion….not unlike a fertilizer fuel air bomb….in the sky…but a bit stronger due to the energy density of uranium.

*films without the rockets are faked. No rockets were launched in the films of tests that were created by film effects experts in the lab.

ALL nuclear testing occurred on The Moon. THAT is why we quit going. the Radiation was soooo Bad…(How Bad, One might ask)……it was neutralizing the

AND creating a hole in the Ozone layer. Which took ANOTHER massive tale.

ALL this to cover up the reality of Nuke Testing. On The Moon.

How can people be soooo obtuse ?

Not only that, but this isn’t like the moon landings where we are forced to go off of official information and film. There were many hundreds of bombs set off with all sorts of evidence. Hundreds more with less evidence. Many failures, many fuckups. Huge numbers of people involved, over many years.

But I don’t expect much from people who believe that YHWH created the world as a giant petri dish 6025 years and 5 days ago.

I understand skepticism but this is getting into microscopes or birds aren’t real territory

What I said was it is an interesting theory when you read about it then I gave the simplest why it isn’t more than a theory. I didn’t say I agree with it. I am simply aware of it’s existence. Someone asked if the Anon understood what he was implying, I merely said straight out what that was. Which of course got me the downvotes. Sometimes you twat weasels are rabid.

I was neither accusing nor voting. You should know by now that voting doesn’t matter. It’s an interesting experiment to vary the way you say the same thing, in different contexts but the same site, and see the wildly different responses.

We don’t even know what happened in Maui (the Ukraine or Israel), plus fake moon landings, 911, on and on.
If they set off a big explosion somewhere and called it a nuke we would never know for sure. They would put up a fence, claim radiation, show horrific pictures.

What part about a Fake Worldwide Pandemic don’t people understand?

I’ve heard people here state this attitude is damaging. I agree and it’s part of operation chaos. However denial doesn’t help either.
