Dick O' Lantern
Although the news is not exactly hot, The Center for Research on Globalization which is based in Montreal, has published a horror story just in time for Halloween.
It involves the six nuclear missiles which were reported "missing" from Minot (ND) Air Force Base on August 29-30, 2007. Investigative reporter Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya walks us through the complex security systems that are in place and should have prevented an incident like this from ever happening. He leads us to the logical conclusion that the command to move these weapons came from on (very) high. No surprise.
And nuclear weapons are not all that's missing. Nazemroaya reports six "accidental" deaths of Air Force personnel related to this incident, as well as the many staff reassignments in and out of Minot Air Force Base since August.
The six nuclear warheads were not meant for use in theatre operations against Iran. This is obvious because if they were then they would have been deployed via the proper procedural routes without the need to hide anything. Besides, there are already theatre-level nuclear weapons ready and armed in Europe and the Middle East for any possible Middle Eastern mission. There was something more to the incident.
What's the Dickbush planning? Instant global warming?
Be a good citizen -- read the whole article. It's important.
