The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

They've had bombers with nuclear bombs crash in America and Canada and nothing came out of it. Google Nuclear Weapons don't work. Stationary nuclear weapons can work but nuclear bombs and missiles have a very high fail rate. |

Stationary nuclear weapons can work but nuclear bombs and missiles have a very high fail rate. It is all very outrageous! "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

We guess the first thing we need to address is how this even came to be in the first place. Well, in 1962 JFK signed the National Security Action Memorandum 160, which was supposed to ensure that every nuclear weapon the US had be fitted with a Permissive Action Link (PAL), basically a small device that ensured that the missile could only be launched with the right code and with the right authority. There was particularly a concern that the nuclear missiles the United States had stationed in other countries, some of which with somewhat unstable leadership, could potentially be seized by those governments and launched. With the PAL system, this became much less of a problem. Beyond foreign seizure, there was also simply the problem that many U.S. commanders had the ability to launch nukes under their control at any time. Just one commanding officer who wasn’t quite right in the head and World War III begins. As U.S. General Horace M. Wade stated about General Thomas Power: I used to worry about General Power. I used to worry that General Power was not stable. I used to worry about the fact that he had control over so many weapons and weapon systems and could, under certain conditions, launch the force. Back in the days before we had real positive control [i.e., PAL locks], SAC had the power to do a lot of things, and it was in his hands, and he knew it.

I mean, come on....do you really believe that THEY would have random weapons capable of "vaporizing cities in an instant" laying about with default activation codes for anyone to steal? Think of how much security authorization loops one has to go through to withdraw a few thousand dollars from ones own bank account (CTRs, etc). Yet "city vaporizing weapons" are within reach of the same "commoners" under these restrictions, but with default codes of "0000000". UH...NO, just NO. What a fuckin hoax |
