US ran nuclear weapons exercises the week before Bush-Putin summit
Shortly before the so-called 'Lobster Summit' between President George W. Bush and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Kennebunkport, Maine, the United States appears to have carried out a significant nuclear weapons exercise, according to a report in Friday's Washington Times.

"International radio operators picked up large numbers of coded Air Force communications being sent around the world on June 26 that indicated some type of military activity was about to take place," writes Bill Gertz in his weekly "Inside The Ring" column.

Gertz suggests that the transmissions, which he called 'extraordinary,' were related to US nuclear forces.

"A U.S. military official said the radio traffic was monitored from the Air Force Global High Frequency System (GHFS) that some observers regarded as 'extraordinary' because of the unprecedented length of messages," he writes. "The messages appeared to be emergency action messages, coded communications sent by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to U.S. Air Force strategic nuclear forces."

An Air Force spokesman said the operation was 'routine.'

1. its already happening.
its already happening.

What do you think the deepest oil well (Chevron) drilled in the Gulf of
Mexico (28,000 + feet)(10 kilometers) and an earthquake have in common?
Chevron Jack #2 Oil Well. Surprisingly, Chevron announced (big
announcement not quiet) info on the well on September 8, 2006 like it
was big news even though the well was completed in 2004.

September 10, 2006 - Gulf of Mexico earthquake. Can you say "bunker
busting nuke test". I have not been able to gather specific info and/or
exact location of Jack #2 oil well, but it is very close to the
epicenter of quake. The USGS puts epicenter at 270 miles southwest of
Apalachicola, FL, which is also about 270 miles southeast of Louisiana.
Articles I have read indicate Jack #2 oil well from 175 miles to 275
miles somewhere south of Louisiana. This is way out there in 7,000 feet
of water.

Estimates of costs based on economic articles I have read would put oil
at $20,000 to $30,000 per barrel and indicate an increase of American
reserves by 50 percent.?????!!! It is not financially responsible, unless...
Crazy claims like "dredging sea floor for manganese nodules". Glomar
Explorer all over again.

Maybe they are using nuke to frac the formation for better recoveries?

Follow the money
