[Arktwo] Astonishing news

[Bruce Beach]

A new slogan.

Harry (Truman) had -
"The buck stops here" -

But George's is -
"The Bush stops nowhere."

Much clamour -
in the press and on the Internet
about his latest big speech.
He has made it clear
that he is not going to be stopped.

The extreme of that idea
has spread far and wide -
and now -
from Canada in the Toronto Sun -

You will have to read it -
to believe it -
so I am not going to print it here.

No one could have published
such a headline
two years ago.

The is where the world has come to
as we approach the fifth anniversary of 9/11.

Right, wrong, or otherwise -
just a few points about
the impending events.

Some suggest that we are only talking about
Tactical Nukes.

I don't know exactly what people have in mind.
It is difficult to get information
about US (or any other) nuclear weapons
but here is a list of models
of nuclear warheads
that the US had up until about
10 years ago.
I don't know what they have developed since.

If you study the list -
you will see that even
an artillery shell nuke
fired from a cannon
has a yield of about 15 kilotons.

Without going into the distinctions
between nuclear bombs / weapons
and atomic bombs
as dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
the yield measurement is the same.

Just as people get confused
between millions and billions
they also get confused between
kilotons and megatons.

A kiloton
is the equivalent of a thousand pounds
of dynamite.

A megaton
is the equivalent of a million pounds
of dynamite.

When we speak of the 'average'
strategic nuclear weapon
being dropped on a US city
from a bomber, ICBM, or SLBM
(submarine launched ballistic missile)
being 3 megatons -
we are talking about 3,000,000 (3 million) pounds
compared to the 10 Kt
10,000 (10 thousand) pounds
in a bomb dropped on Japan.
In other words
the nuclear bombs that we expect
are generally about 300 times bigger
than the atomic bombs used against Japan.

But -
back to tactical nukes -
and that little artillery shell
at 15kt.
That is still a bit bigger
than the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So I don't know
just what people have in mind
when they say
that we will just use tactical nukes.

The second issue -
aside from the size of the weapons
is how many they plan to have dropped on Iran.

I have heard numbers of
five to twenty-five.
Assuming that they really do use weapons
this small -
we are talking about
five to twenty-five Hiroshimas.

The third issue is -
where they are going to be dropped on Iran.
The answer given here is -
"Oh, out on labs in the desert -
where they won't really hurt the population."

Fallout issues aside -
although that would be the real killer -
the Iranian Government
has put its main research and production labs
in the cities -
so that any striking of them
will be a strike against the population -
and thus bring world opinion against the striker.

And the fourth and final issue -
and the real biggie -
is what kind of response will the strikers get.

Even the use of conventional weapons
against Iran
may be over the red line with Russia -
but the use of nuclear weapons -
definitely is.

Why so?
Well,
the Russian, Chinese, Islamic, view -
along with that of many other countries
in the world -
is that the world's one Super Power -
(the US)
has Imperialistic Policies and plans
to control the Middle East -
and the world.

Countries with veto power
in the UN (China and Russia)
told the US to not invade Iraq -
but the US went right ahead anyway.
Those countries feel that
they cannot control the US -
and that they may eventually end up
next on the list.
So for them -
this is the red line,
which they expect the US to step across.
They are ready.

------------
Some people will say -
so that is why the US
or Israel
must not use nukes.

Unfortunately,
nothing but nukes
would stop the Iran nuclear program
which is in those hardened sites
under the Iranian cities.

-------------
Some people will say -
okay - so Iran is going to become
a nuclear power -
but so has -
Pakistan,
India,
Israel,
North Korea,
and others -
and no one has used a nuke
or atomic bomb since the US bombed Japan -
so the US should let them become
a nuclear power -
and no one is going to use them.

Good thinking -
in the US -
which is not next door to Iran
and is not that likely to get nuked by them
and can completely wipe Iran out -
should things get out of hand.

However,
not such good thinking in Israel
which Iran has promised to wipe off the map -
and which just one or two nukes would do the job.
Consequently -
Israel cannot let Iran get nukes -
(although it may already have some)
or at least Israel must prevent Iran
from hitting it with them,
because while Iran can survive
several nukes -
Israel cannot.

----------
Bottom line is -
Israel is going to nuke Iran -
and the US is probably going to join in.

Syria will be in the line of fire -
and Pakistan also
because it has a mutual defense treaty with Iran.
Pakistan has assured the world -
that in that case it will nuke India -
no matter who fires at it.

India knowing that -
may decide to pre-empt Pakistan -
and North Korea may take a swipe at Japan.
With all this going on -
China will settle its Taiwan issues -
and that triggers
the US Taiwan Defense issues -
which then triggers the China / Russia
mutual defense treaty -
which then brings home the Samson option
and the whole temple comes down
on all our heads.

16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said,
Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out
of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the
pillars.

16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that
I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon
them.

16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the
Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand
men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.

16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I
pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may
be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house
stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of
the other with his left.

16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself
with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the
people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more
than they which he slew in his life.

	(King James Bible, Judges)

--------
There is much talk
that the event will be triggered
by a terrorist nuclear attack.

I personally don't think this likely -
even with all the talk of the Islamists
having given the US the third and final warning
to convert to Islam.

If there is a 'terrorist nuclear attack'
I will have the suspicion that it is a false flag -
but that makes no difference -
we would be off to the races anyway.

I know people don't like me talking like this -
but I am not advocating
any of these policies or events -
but just explaining the point
to which the world has now come.

Since I wrote the last newsletter
about the growing Armada in Lebanon -
Norway has now sent four ships
to join with the rest.

The whole of the world is gathering together
for this great final climaxic event.

People ask one another -
"Whose side are you on, anyway?"
The answer seems to be -
"The side of insanity."

In this world gone insane -
we can only stand and stare
in astonishment.
The literal meaning of astonishment is -
"those turned to stone" -
and we may well be.

Peace and love,
