I forgot to check. Did we get nuked yesterday?

[WilliamPitt]

It was supposed to be the 17th, right?

[Beetwasher]

1. Yes, You Missed It

I roasted marshmallows.

[formercia]

2. Must have been a really low yield.

Would you like to play Global Thermonuclear War?

[ProfessorGAC]

11. 0.00000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000025 Kilotons

Really, really, really low yield. Actually someone just opened a bottle of pop.

[WilliamPitt]

15. The sun came out

;)

[im10ashus]

3. I thought it was the 6th and 9th?

Still standing here in Manhattan, regardless of which date it was supposed to be.

[Lerkfish]

4. People were concerned about that date, but

I also did not hear anything about the excercise happening yet, either.

Keep in mind, someone organized an email campaign to Northcom to let them KNOW we would know if it happened, yadda yadda yadda.

:shrug:

I sincerely hope it never happens...but I also don't put anything past this current administration.

[jus_the_facts]

5. delayed due to word gettin' out about the date.....

:tinfoilhat:

[Connie_Corleone]

6. That's August 17th 2006.

Someone just wrote the wrong year.

[TNOE]

7. Sorry Will, but this seems beneath you

whose to say the exposure didn't prevent it.

[tx_dem41]

24. Somebody predicted that this would be said.

Amazing.

[RandomKoolzip]

26. Exposure?!

A klatch of DUers proposed the idea. Are you saying that the CIA or whoever moved the date of a fake nuclear incident, possibly killing millions of people, simply because a few people on an obscure political message board discussed it?

That's like six full layers of tin foil right there.

[Blue-Jay]

27. What exposure?

[StopTheMorans]

28. yeah, 15 people in GD talking about it led the pentagon to change its

plans. delusions of grandeur anyone?

[arwalden]

43. :-)

:thumbsup:

[Telly Savalas]

31. "Begin the nuclear attack now"

"Yes, Major."

"Major, wait! Psy-ops have been reading Democratic Underground and saw a couple of threads regarding our plans!"

"Holy shit, Sergeant! They're onto us! Call off the attack!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ah, 'tis a pity we couldn't do the job, Major. It was truly a great plan."

"Yes, Sergeant. And we would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids."

[TNOE]

36. It hit the papers too - was wide spread over the Net

not just DU.

[Blue-Jay]

39. link?

Charleston Post & Courier Runs Hit Piece On Nuclear Drill Story

Prison Planet | August 16 2005

The Charleston Post and Courier ran a sardonic hit piece on the nuclear drills set to take place this month which simulate a nuclear weapon which is smuggled from a boat off the port of Charleston, South Carolina.

The article is a childish attempt to make questions about the current nuclear terror drills appear comical.

This website nor any other that reported on the nuclear terror drills said that 'Charleston will blow up' - all we were doing was asking questions about the poorly explained dismissal of four star general Kevin P. Byrnes, and highlighting other sources who claimed that the dismissal was due to Byrnes finding out that the terror drill was set to go live.

Alex Jones appeared on Coast to Coast AM to discuss this story and he made it clear that we were simply reporting on issues that others had raised, we were not the source of the story and our aim was twofold. One, to ascertain how accurate the story was and two to head off any possibility of this drill becoming live, by simply giving the story attention we had already achieved the second aim.

[Blue-Jay]

47. I liked this article from the same website.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2005/070105tsunamibomb.htm

Top secret wartime experiments were conducted off the New Zealand coast to perfect a tidal wave bomb believed to be potentially as effective as the atom bomb, a report said yesterday citing declassified files.

Auckland University professor Thomas Leech set off a series of underwater explosions triggering mini-tidal waves at Whangaparaoa, just north of Auckland, in 1944 and 1945, the New Zealand Herald reported.

His work was considered so significant that US defense chiefs said if the project had been completed before the end of the war it could have played a role as effective as that of the atom bomb.

Details of the tsunami bomb, known as Project Seal, are contained in 53-year-old documents released by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

-snip-

A tsunami bomb? :eyes:

[TNOE]

53. Here's an ideal

Why don't you check the Charleston paper and see for yourself since you don't consider Prison Planet a good source - debating this with you would be the same to me as trying to debate a freeptard and I don't have the time - or the energy.

I assume by your statement then that you are highly educated in the field of weapons defense capabilities as well as mass destruction capabilities and have scientific proof that there is no way such a weapon exists? I am sure you would also doubt the weapon capability of a nuclear suitcase if it had not been reported in mainstream news -and I'm also sure you are very up to date on the latest weapons developed and ready to use in Iraq, etc. I am sure also that you are not only aware that the government's weapon and technological knowledge is estimated at 50 light years (probably conservative)away from what technology is now available to us mere peasants - and as I'm sure you must also be aware of the fact that Alex Jones was one of the first people to call 9/11 and inside job - which only a complete idiot would now refute. Otherwise - what you have stated is merely "your opinion" which frankly - is just that - your opinion based on no real knowledge whatsoever.

Edit - wording & misspelling

[RandomKoolzip]

52. Prisonplanet?! You gotta be shitting me. How about a MAINSTREAM source?

Well, if Alex Jones said it, it must be true! :eyes: Just like all those black helicopters and the ATF coming to your house to confiscate your guns, right? Alex Jones is a fuckin' nut case.

[Land Shark]

44. prime time to start such a conspiracy, because there's so many defenders

who will be skeptics and are thereby effectively "anti-tin" activists.

The problem with the knee jerk anti-tin position is that believing anything in the total absence of evidence EVEN BELIEVING THAT THERE WOULD BE NO NUCLEAR ATTACK is faith-based, not based on reason. The attitude of the posts above clearly shows that pure prejudice is the proper attititude toward scenarios deemed "conspiracy theories" rather than an attitude of wanting to evaluate the evidence of its likelihood.

(and the nonoccurrence of an event one is protecting against is not proof of the stupidity of protecting against it, otherwise we would drop all of our insurance plans)

Nothing is proven or disproven by its membership in a CLASS of conspiracy theories, a class of racial identity or what have you. We judge each person and scenario based on its own merits, if we are committed to rational humanism.

[kevsand]

8. Yes, we did, but

they didn't want it to get buried by the coverage of the vigils, so they covered it up. Clever lads...

[Jara sang]

9. Shall we play a game?

Love to. How about Global Thermo Nuclear War?

Wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?

Later, I want to play Global Thermo Nuclear War.

[jim3775]

10. My post about this yesterday got nuked.

:D

[anarch]

12. personally, I'm waiting for the weekend to get bombed

I can't come to work all hung over like I used to...

[blm]

13. I don't think very many expected nuclear attacks. I think the greater

number of us were concerned that a General who opposed Bush Administration military policy was pushed out for a bogus reason, and we'd like to find out more.

The attack drills were peripheral and added to the WHY would they fire the guy who was in charge of the training for the exercise.

The Gen. Byrnes story has yet to be told, because, so far, reporters are getting shut down on it.

[IdaBriggs]

14. Yesterday was the DRILL; the SCARE doesn't happen until September.

When the "vacation" ends. :)

[RaleighNCDUer]

16. You don't launch a new product in August.

Product being the Iran war.

[IdaBriggs]

17. Exactly! Will just wasn't paying attention. Sigh. nt

[mod mom]

20. Probably in time to limit attendance for Sept 24 weekend. nt

[Just Me]

18. *checks pulse* Still here.

Yay!!! It's Thursday!!!! :bounce:

[havocmom]

19. Sumtin must've happened, the chimp's gone missing again.

Quick, everybody outside waving bananas. Maybe we can catch the little bugger.

[VelmaD]

21. Well, I didn't...

but only because I had to come to work today. ;)

[tx_dem41]

22. Looking out the window......

Apparently not. :)

[AngryAmish]

23. Has anyone heard from Cincinatti?

Come in Cincinatti.





I guess Cincy got nuked yesterday.

[TNOE]

29. Cincinnati here

All's well - and for that - I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

9/11 may have just been their test run - thank God the people have caught on! Most of us anyway.

[Junkdrawer]

25. A word about "False Flag Attack" predictions...

9/11 was a bolt from the blue. Aside from intelligence community insiders with "hair on fire" warnings of imminent attacks, the vast majority of Americans were completely non plussed by the attacks. One of the many benefits of such a surprise is that it makes premeditation by anyone look ridiculous - something a false flag attacker needs.

The next attack will not be a surprise. Indeed Cheney, Rumsfeld et. al. have already been promising us "not if, but when". We now have a strange phenomena: the shameless lies about Iraq and the questions surrounding 9/11 have a sizable number of us suspecting that the next attack will come either under the supervision or approval of this administration. Imagine that! That has to be unprecedented.

So...what can they do to discredit these suspicions? How about spread a bunch of false rumors and make sure that we've cried wolf so many times that any claim that "we predicted this attack" seems ridiculous.

So, yeah, an attack is probably coming. And, yeah, I’ll be suspicious as to who’s behind it when it comes. But predict a date? That’s a game for suckers.

[sleipnir]

42. You sure like to post that comment!

:hi:

[Junkdrawer]

46. And there's been several "Aug. 17th talk is ridiculous" threads...

How's That Nuke War Drill Game Coming in S.C. Today?

So when are we supposed to die in the nuclear attacks?

[Just Me]

48. Seriously, though,...it's completely understandable that folks,...

,...become concerned considering the climate. I agree with your position.

[Junkdrawer]

50. Thanks. If a significant number of people are predicting a date...

then that's the one date I'll feel safe. ;)

Naming dates is for suckers...

[rman]

30. not when a drill is publicly announced

[Mutley]

32. They wouldn't want DimSon to have to cancel the rest of his

vacation, would they? :rofl:

[Telly Savalas]

33. Just because the mainstream media refuses to report it,

doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[jpgray]

34. War Games!? You naive fool. It goes deeper than that.

[Fenris]

37. Damn that Colossus! What were we thinking?!?!

[RandomKoolzip]

38. Joel Hodgson's favorite movie!

COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT

[jpgray]

41. It's neat!

The only DVD version is pan & scan, though. :cry:

[terrya]

49. I liked that movie a lot

"Colossus: The Forbin Project" was a good movie. One of the first...after "Dr. Stangelove" and "Fail Safe" to warn of the dangers of overreliance on computers in our nuclear arsenal.

[WilliamPitt]

54. Soylent Green is people.

God dammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would do any good.

[formercia]

55. It really pissed me off when they took Soylent Red off the market

Must have been the lack of dyed in the wool Commies that did it.

[slackmaster]

35. I must have missed that memo

Can anyone give me a copy of it?

[yurbud]

40. yes, I'm very dead.

Scott Ritter Says U.S. Plans June Attack On Iran

By Mark Jensen

02/19/05 --United for Peace of Pierce County (WA) - - Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered to a packed house in Olympia’s Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.
