Another nuke exercise -- your next 9/11?

Catch this! Some fresh-brewed Homeland Insecurity published today on
WorldNetDaily. The Department of Defense (DOD) has scheduled its second
major, three-day exercise to combat nuclear terrorism, this time in the
Charleston, South Caroline area. I donıt know about you, but I didnıt know
Charleston had a nuclear terror problem, shades of Sept. 11, 2001, the day
on which some six drills were going, enough to distract anybody from doing
anything when the drills went real.
But Charlestown is not a strategic town. Itıs a vacation spot, nice beaches,
good fishing, boat rides, excellent restaurants, southern cooking, and nice
people, you say. So, kick back your heels and watch the thermal bomb go off
like a Charleston sunset. No, no, no! But then why is the DOD goal coping
with the catastrophic results of a terrorist nuclear attack here? Ah, you
say, Charleston is a major US port city. And therefore the roast pig, bad
term, test sight for nuclear holocaust by the sea.
But the exercise and the militaryıs Joint Task Force-Civil Support will be
hosted (excuse me again) . . . headquartered at Fort Monroe, Virginia. And
the three-day drill (which could go real, n'est-ce pas?) is for commanders
and representatives of other federal agencies that would be involved in
(catch this) the consequences of a 10-megaton nuclear blast, enough to
decimate an American city. Let me fill you in on some of the particulars of
such a blast, and remind you that what hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki were
20-meg blasts.
The 10 will crisp wood frame houses, common in this area, for a distance of
more than a mile from ground zero and produce medium rare damage for a mile
and a half. The damage radius increases with the power of the bomb, about in
proportion to its cube root. When imploded at the ideal height, a 10-megaton
bomb, 1,000 times as powerful as a 10-kiloton weapon, increases the
distanced by 10, that is, out 11 miles for severe damage and 15 miles for
moderate damage of a frame house.
Are you grokking this, strangers in a strange land? Weıve passed the science
fiction stage. And now, folks are playing reality games with the concept in
a military fort near a major American seaport city. Let me also tell you,
the fireball for a 10-megaton explosion will have a diameter of about 4.8
miles across. A flash of thermal radiation is given off from the fireballs
and spreads out over a large area, and with steady intensity.
The amount of surging thermal energy, penetrating radiation, climactic
effects, and clean H-bombs effects, well, just click here to download
details. They ainıt pretty. But then, neither were 9/11ıs, remaining ugly as
hell nearly five years later.
In fact, the real danger here is that an administration in danger of
extinction itself for its wars, its financial bungling, its corruption, its
catastrophic Katrina, its trillions in tax cuts for the rich and subsequent
debt, its utterly inhumane cuts to social services, in short, its horrible
five years . . . the real threat is that this administration will use this
go-real nuclear holocaust to blame on Al Qaeda, and get itself off the hook
and hanging platform, and elevate national terror into a national state of
emergency, eliminating all democracy, with a call for martial law, under Der
Bush & Company.
Think Iım kidding. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security,
including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, remember them from
New Orleans?) and senior Coast Guard brass will be on hand. The
WorldNetDaily article claims that no part of the exercise will take place
there, though the target of attack is Charleston. Maj. Gen. Bruce Davis, the
task forceıs commander, will oversee the exercise from Fort Monroe. What a
blast (I hope not).
The Joint Task Force-Civil Support -- part of US Northern Command, which
oversees the Defense Departmentıs domestic military activity -- is a
standing joint task force composed of active, reserve and National Guard
members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, as well as
civilian personnel. Well, party on down. Just donıt you dare blow up
Charleston.
Last summer, the article also tells us, a similar exercise, ³Sudden Respond
O05² was led by Virginiaıs Fort Monroe-based Joint Task Force-Civil Support.
It too, duh, was designed to simulate a nuclear terrorist attack that the
highest US officials, including President Bush (one of the lowest), have
said is the No. 1 threat facing the nation, and they if anyone, will make
happen.
The drill, weıre told, is strikingly similar to a scenario detailed by
Graham Allison, former Pentagon assistant secretary for plans and policy and
current Harvard professor, in his book, ³Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate
Preventable Catastrophe.² Itıs only preventable 'til it turns real, just
like 9/11, bunky. And you donıt need to be a Harvard professor to know that,
dumb ass idiot.
Nevertheless, Allison wrote, ³A month after the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, the Central Intelligence Agency presented Bush with a report that
al-Qaida had smuggled a 10-kiloton nuclear bomb into New York City."
The president, according to the book, dispatched Nuclear Emergency Support
Teams of scientists and engineers to New York to search for the weapon,
which was never found. Never found, imagine that. And imagine that I live in
New York and never heard a frigging word about that. And maybe some
³terrorist² from al-Qaida, shorthand for CIA, took it and put it under the
White House, because it has done an amazing job of decimating the agency,
and laying blame for 9/11 at its feet.
Allison, sport that he is, described the devastation that a 10-kilaton
nuclear bomb would bring to Manhattan if it were detonated in the middle of
³historic Times Square.² Some 1 million people would die almost immediately.
Is everybody staining their trousers? I hope so. But ho, thereıs more from
Allison. Catch these hot chestnuts.
³The resulting fireball and blast wave would destroy instantaneously the
theater district (and all those homos in it), the New York Times building
(and all those gray stories), Grand Central Terminal (and all those gray
commuters), and every other structure within a third of a mile to the point
of detonation.² And thatıs not all he wrote. ³The ensuing firestorm would
engulf Rockefeller Center (melt the ice ring in a couple of seconds),
Carnegie Hall, Empire State Building, and Madison Square Garden, leaving the
Knicks and Rangers homeless (sorry), not to mention a landscape echoing the
World Trade Center, the sons of bitches . . .
³From the United Nations headquarters on the East River and the Lincoln
Tunnel under the Hudson River, to the Metropolitan Museum in the eighties
and the Flatiron Building in the twenties, structures would remind one of
the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Office Building following the Oklahoma City
Bombing,² another black ops by our government friends, with a bomb placed on
the east, a bomb in the center (which went off and rocked the building down)
and a bomb placed on the west side of the building -- the east/west bombs
for early and second responders, which were taken away and decommissioned.
You donıt think it was that dumb-ass ammonium nitrate and fuel oil bomb in
the Ryder truck that did anything but break the glass windows, do you? A
team of men were working in the garage the week before the explosion,
rewiring things, men in uniforms that read Government Agency Operations.
The monsters would like to strike again, folks, so take this very, very
seriously. And take this WND article and substitute George Bush for Osama
bin Laden and CIA for al-Qaida, who have planned to use nuclear weapons in a
terrorist attack on the US. The plan is dubbed ³American Hiroshima.² In
fact, as first reported in Joseph Farahıs G2 Bulletin, captured al Qaeda
(CIA) operatives and documents suggest the weapons have already been
smuggled in the country.
For continuing and complete coverage of ³American Hiroshima² plans,
subscribe to Joseph Farahıs G2 Bullet, the premium, online, intelligence
newsletter published (not) by the founder of WND.
Citizens of Charleston and America, get your butts out there from Jan. 31 to
Feb. 3, to protest, intercept, act up, criticize, analyze, neutralize that
Fort Monroe, Virginia, drill. Your lives and the lives of thousands,
hundreds of thousands of others depend upon it. Do it now. And thank the tip
slipped to me about this draconian drill. Wherever you are, you know who you
are and I salute you.
