"In particular, the commander, who is responsible for ensuring the safety of Iran’s nuclear facilities, cautioned that due to threats posed by Israel, the Islamic Republic could revise its « nuclear doctrine ». He added that if Israel hits Iran’s nuclear facilities, then official Tehran will hit Israeli nuclear facilities and « will send powerful missiles to completely destroy the planned targets »."

Threats of this nature, even if totally 100 % justified [I am not saying either yes or no] apocalyptic and potentially catastrophic for the whole world!

Such military action might set off a chain reaction of a global scale as greatly feared [ever since 1945]. Armageddon transpiring in the space of less than a full day!

With the nematodes scientists can observe in real-time the Darwinian Selection process at work? Nematodes having evolved into a species that can live and thrive in a highly contaminated nuclear environment.

Genetic splicing of worm and water bear DNA into humans can result in a super-soldier not susceptible to high-levels of atomic radiation as would be the result of a nuclear war?

"This week the Financial Times has published contents of a cache of leaked classified Russian documents said to lay out the country's doctrine and strategy for tactical nuclear weapons use. Included in the documents is info on the Kremlin's minimum criteria for using tactical nukes."

"The criteria outlined in the secret files range 'from an enemy incursion on Russian territory to more specific triggers, such as the destruction of 20% of Russia's strategic ballistic missile submarines,' according to FT."

"The question of the possibility of Russia and NATO stumbling toward nuclear war is without doubt heavy on the minds of many this week, especially after French President Emmanuel Macron's Monday comments wherein he raised sending Western troops to fight Russia in Ukraine and said of the possibility, 'nothing should be ruled out.'"

Leaking of documents obviously intentional! Russians trying to scare and probably succeeding. A direct military clash between NATO and Russian inevitably will mean atomic war with all that means. Escalation with worldwide civilized societal destruction as a consequence a possible!

Anti-satellite weaponry not a new thing for both Russia, USA and perhaps China also.

"The US has new intelligence on Russian military capabilities related to its efforts to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in space, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence. The intelligence was briefed to Congress and key US allies, and some lawmakers say it is serious enough that it should be declassified and made public."

Nuclear weapons stationed in outer space, near earth orbit or even beyond. Pre-positioned and on-call if the Russian decides to use. Blatant and grave treaty violation I think!

It does not mean that during a time of war satellites in orbit cannot be attacked or their function negated! Means you cannot use orbiting on-station atomic weapons to do so!

"The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that the return of US nuclear weapons to Great Britain could be a likely, albeit destabilizing scenario. Reports about USA's plans to deploy nukes in the UK earlier appeared in The Telegraph."

"Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov said that the decision of the US authorities to return nuclear weapons to the UK would be a destabilizing step. Moscow 'strongly warns' Washington against such a move, he added."

The last time English had the pleasure of stationing American atomic weapons in their homeland was 1981 with the arrival of the American ground launched cruise missiles [GLCM]. There was a lot of controversy about this deployment at the time you can will expect to be a lot of controversy about the stationing of American nuclear weapons in England in 2024 also.

It can even be suggested by the cynical skeptic that if the Russian is against such an eventuality this a good idea and not bad?

ERW Gaza.

This is coolbert:

See previous blog entries here and here as applicable to the use of potential Israeli use of atomic weapons Gaza, the neutron bomb ERW enhanced radiation weapon.

Accusations and allegations of Israeli use of the neutron bomb ERW the Gaza War 100% inaccurate and unfounded, disinformation! Again the blood libel against the Israeli use of diabolical weapons of war with intention to eradicate the Gaza population. Allegations and accusations of a scurrilous and horrific nature. Accusations that nonetheless cannot be taken lightly or ignored.

Deceit, duplicity, falsehood, fraud, lying, trickery, untruth, deceitfulness, deceptive, dissimulation.

With regard to radiation damage the ERW weapon, consider an extract from an article by the famous scientist George Kistiakowsky:

"At a 1.7 km [1 mile] distance from the 1 kt [kiloton] explosion ERW the radiation exposure radiation drops to 150 rad. Statistically this results in about 10% deaths from radiation sickness within a few months at most and also in a high incidence of breast, thyroid, long and stomach cancers as well as leukemia, which may be delayed as much as 20 to 30 years."

"At a distance of 2.3 km [1 1/2] miles] the exposure drops to 15 rad. this is long enough so that radiation sickness is not experienced after exposure but delayed cancers and leukemia are expected in some of the exposed populations."

"The harmful genetic effects may manifest themselves for several generations. They also decrease with decreasing exposure. At about 2 km [1.2 miles] their frequency will double the spontaneous rate of mutations  which is statistically quite unmistakable." 

"The above estimates are the effects of radiation exposure are probably conservative, since there are mostly derived from observations of individuals exposed largely to gamma radiation. The ERW, however, causes damage by neutrons."

If indeed, the neutron bomb was being used in the Gaza War, I would 100% suspect that the international system active for detecting nuclear detonations would fully be able to identify and report these events. A variety of methods besides the double hump flash of an atomic weapon being in use.

Real time detection of atomic that nations in the atmosphere fully 100% guaranteed - you cannot hide!

"THE INTERNATIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM"

"The International Monitoring System (IMS) is a unique global network that, when complete, will consist of 321 monitoring stations and 16 laboratories hosted by 89 countries around the globe.

Consider this to be a grave violation of Israeli security protocol? This man is actually suggesting Israel does possess atomic weapons?

Opacity with ambiguity. Does Israel actually have atomic weapons that could be used on Gaza? You cannot see through a wall and you cannot really know for sure what exists on the other side.

See previous blog entry, the blood libel Israel, accused of using atomic weaponry of the neutron bomb type ERW, Gaza.

"Far-right minister: Nuking Gaza is an option, population should ‘go to Ireland or deserts’"

"A minister from the extremist Otzma Yehudit party says one of Israel’s options in the war in Gaza is to drop a nuclear bomb on the [Gaza] Strip."

"Asked in an interview with Radio Kol Berama whether he was suggesting that some kind of nuclear bomb might be dropped on the enclave, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu says 'That’s one way.'”

Believe me, Israel does take with great seriousness the doctrine of opacity with ambiguity, the possession and possible use of atomic weapons on the battlefield, if the need arises!

As to exiling the residents of Gaza to Ireland it is not I don’t believe this will ever occur it is that I don’t want to believe this sort of thing you’ll ever occur.

Satellite 6911.

This is coolbert:

The double flash South Atlantic Ocean 1979. A subject of controversy into this very day never resolved properly as to what actually occurred.

Think within the context of the Gaza War, the wild speculation probably 100 % totally unfounded that the Israeli is using the neutron bomb enhanced radiation weapon [ERW].

"The Day the Sky Flashed Twice: What Caused the Mysterious Vela Incident?"

See YouTube video:

"On September 22nd 1979, the sensors aboard the US Vela Satellite picked up a distinctive signal from somewhere in the vast expanse of the South Atlantic ocean. It was a mysterious 'double flash' of blinding light. Even today no-one knows for sure what caused the Vela incident..."

It has been speculated that double flash, represented an atomic detonation either by number one # 1  South Africa number two # 2 Israel number three #3 combined South African/Israeli test or number four # 4  an Israeli test of a neutron weapon nothing ever been categorically proven in any case. Somebody does know for sure, but they are not saying anything, and probably never will!

That detonation him an atomic weapon if it did it did occur over to South Atlantic rated as only 1 kt to 2 kt ton weapon only possibly a neutron weapon ERW. I can fully understand the Israeli might very well be interested in the neutron bomb if they ever did find themselves in an existential type situation fighting within Israel proper against the combined Arab armies. Having such munitions in their inventory under certain specific circumstances the use of an ERW giving an advantage.

An escalation of hostilities the Gaza War with the use of atomic weapons? Is this a possibility? See the linked article:

"Doomsday: What could drive Israel and Iran to start launching nuclear weapons?"

From https://thehill.com | BY LOUIS BERES | 01/04/24.

"Although Israel’s Gaza war is most visibly being waged against Hamas, the ultimate adversary is Iran. If Israel’s counter-terrorism efforts should sometime bring it into direct confrontation with Iran, the result could be an immediate escalation between these two adversary states."

"In such a plausible scenario, even a still-pre-nuclear Iran could elicit a 'limited' Israeli nuclear reprisal. The principal escalation dangers would be an Iranian use of radiation dispersal weapons or an Iranian rocket attack on Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor."

Attack by an Iranian radiological weapon, the dirty bomb, definitely a possible. Drones or ballistic missiles attack with release of atomic radiation of a hazardous nature over large populated areas of Israel. Not even an atomic detonation occuring.

That the Dimona facility as mentioned of course the Israeli nuclear research site where supposedly atomic weapons are developed, manufactured and assembled, so as described by the turncoat Mordechai Vanunu.

Devoted readers to the blog, and those perusing only merrily in a much more casual matter need to go to read the entire article. Pay particular close attention to the four possible scenarios as outlined atomic war the Middle East.

You can also reasonably surmise that the Hamas rocket artillery attack [7 Oct] on what is called Wing Two was an attack on an Israeli atomic weapons storage facility. Catastrophe does await?

Neutrons.

This is coolbert:

Here, once again, will be the conspiracy theory of weapons of mass destruction [WMD] being used during the Gaza war. In this particular case, radiological weapons of the neutron bomb type. A bomb that appears to detonate as an ordinary chemical kinetic weapon, but when exploding exposes nearby human beings to lethal doses or near lethal doses of neutron radiation. Can poison the system of a person in the short term and long term both.         

Yet more the blood libel accusation.

 "U.S. and Israel may be secretly using neutron bombs to achieve genetic destruction of Palestinians, radiation expert warns"

From https://www.naturalnews.com//12/27/2023 // Belle Carter // 

"British scientist Christopher Busby believes that it is not impossible that Israel, with the help of the United States, is secretly using neutron bombs to 'genetically cleanse' Palestinians in Gaza. The neutron bomb is a specialized type of nuclear weapon that would produce minimal blast and heat but would release large amounts of lethal radiation."

"The radiation expert agreed with Mike Adams during a recent episode of the 'Health Ranger Report' that the kinetic damage that's been caused to the hospitals and residential buildings in Gaza may be the secondary effect as the primary goal was actually genetic damage of an ethnic group – the very definition of genocide."

It is not that I don’t believe this. It is more that I don’t want to believe any of this!

A grass fire started, brought under control, the blaze contained and extinguished, no damage done as reported! And we can all be glad for that.

Hamas surely not thinking little. Thinking big! Mayhem of an almost apocalyptic nature the goal. One rocket making a direct strike on an atomic storage facility and you might have a catastrophic release of radioactive particles.

Evidently the atomic munitions and missiles [Jericho] stored in different locations.

"The fight against nuclear weapons has a long tradition among the Greens. However, in view of the global situation, party icon Joschka Fischer [Green] is in favor of a nuclear arms build-up in Europe. The former foreign minister justifies his call with Russia and the USA in mind. Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has called on Europe to arm itself with its own nuclear weapons."

Joschka old fellow. Please understand for many decades two constituent members of the EU has possessed atomic weapons. England and France part and parcel of NATO and the EU also.

German missile-firing military units during the Cold War having at their readiness American warheads to be fired in case of a Soviet attack on NATO. Authority to use of course reserved to American control!

Speaking strictly here the American land-based atomic-warhead Minuteman III missile force. Considerations also for the American Trident missile-launching submarine force?

"Not a single ICBM with a live warhead has ever been tested."

"Who knows whether an intercontinental ballistic missile [ICBM] with a nuclear warhead will actually work? Each of the constituent elements has been tested, it is true. Each of them, however, has not been tested under circumstances which would be attendant upon the firing of such a missile in anger . . . [A]n intercontinental ballistic missile will carry its nuclear to great heights, subjecting it to intense cold. It will then arch down and upon re-entering the earth's atmosphere subject the nuclear warhead to intense heat. Who knows what will happen to the many delicate mechanisms involved in the nuclear war-head as it is subjected to these two extremes of temperature."

An ICBM with LIVE nuclear warhead launched downrange with atomic detonation has NEVER been done, either by American or Soviet/Russian military forces. NO ONE else for that matter. That Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963 precludes such testing

Besides extreme degrees of heat and cold the warhead would be subject to, my main concern would be more the vibrations and consequential stress on internal bomb components from the launch and flight of the missile!

With regard to Minuteman alone those missiles and atomic munitions both are just plain OLD and SHOULD constitute a major concern for American planners.
