Well, now he has set a date for the revelation, Tisha B'Av, the
anniversary of the destruction of the Temples (August 14th)
[snip] What ties these items together is that some believe the
American Hiroshima will occur on May 14, the anniversary of the
founding of the state of Israel in 1948.
Despite some possible errors in the dating here - there are indeed
a couple of reasons to:
1) believe that Bin Laden associates have indeed already purchased
one or two so-called "suitcase" nukes...
BUT
2) to believe just as stongly that they have been duped into
thinking that they will work, when in fact they will not work.
Make no mistake - they do contain a critical mass of fissionable
material - but that is far from sufficient (reliable) in weapons
of this small size and fragility AND source of origin.
Neither of these thoughts is very comforting to the general
public, so obviously even if true you will never hear of it -
officially. Much can be gleaned (presumption) however - from
following the unofficial information which does emerge and slip
through the cracks.
As to 1) above, apparently it is a lot easier to trace cash-flow
(actual bills) than realized (secret markings) - and we do
apparently know that a lot of hard-cash which was once
drug-profits, and came through the opium regions, have turned up
in Russia. There are a number of other possible reasons for this
routing of drug profits, outside of the nuclear nightmare, but the
purchase of several small nukes is not out of the question -
perhaps even likely.
But never trust a Russian big-shot! especially a former high
ranking General who is placed in a position to pull-off a scam of
this caliber. There are only a few and their identity is known and
perhaps it is part of an even higer-up scam - in the tradition of
the Russian-egg-puzzle - to get hold of needed hard currency and
get rid of out-of-date or poorly constructed weaponry..
Sure, they would sell nukes (or what will pass a nukes) to anyone
with enough hard currency... but....fully realizing full-well that
testing the damn thing in advance is next to impossible - other
than to see that it does have enough plutonium. The ramifications
of a win-win situation are obvious. If you are paying a
hundred-million-plus per item - even in rapidly depreciating
dollars, you are not going to try even one of them out in advance,
unless it is in Israel - specifically Tel Aviv - NOT Jerusalem
(too many Muslims there).
If you follow the U.S. debate over aging nuclear warheads, and
realize that if anything, the Russian arsenal was probably built
much more cheaply, maintained much more shodily, and almost
certainly incorporated a hidden failsafe mechanism, as the
Russians have always been most fearful of their own Generals - all
of these taken together probably means.... even if two or more
small nukes have been smuggled in to the USA now, that it is
extremely unlikely that they will work at all - or at best will
end up with only a dirty-bomb type dud.
Since the suitcase variety has only a small amount of high
explosive anyway, these duds will probably cause less actual
damage than an overturned tanker of some toxic chemical.
However the psychological damage will be immense BUT if anything
that will probably greatly benefit whatever administration is
presumed to be the "hard-line" choice. So there is that angle.
All this is not very reassuring, but I am fairly certain that if
nothing happens first in Tel Aviv, then nothing will ever happen
here.
Either way, I'm already getting my share of beta radiation as my
wife's Grave's disease is presently being treated with I-131.
Contrary to the advice of her doctor not to sleep in the same
bed, I have wrapped pillow bolsters in several layers of
aluminum foil and placed them in the middle of the king sized
bed. Think that will work?
Probably.... but if you are going to use metal foil, why not use
lead foil? 3M lead foil tape is not a bad choice so long as you do
not let it become exposed (tape over it as well as the Pb is
toxic)

BTW for the 'Revelationists' out there... Tel Aviv is only an
hour's drive from Megiddo... and I suppose you know the
significance of that.
