We bribed parties and politicians who have enticed hate
between the nations. Our ultimate goal was to enslave you!
WebTribune publishes their interview with former CIA agent
Robert Baer during his promotion tour in Quebec for upcoming book “Secrets of
the White House” last week.
My boss, who was
formerly a US Senator, stressed repeatedly that some kind of scam would go down
in Bosnia. A month before the alleged genocide in Srebrenica, he told me that
the town would be headline news around the world and ordered us to call the
media.
Robert Baer, a former CIA officer, has authored many books
which disclosed the secrets of both the CIA and the administrations of Bill
Clinton and George W. Bush. He has been arrested and detained several times.
Mitt Waspurh, a personal friend who worked at the Senate and shared information
was killed at gunpoint. As a senior CIA operative, Baer worked in Yugoslavia
during the 1991-94 period and in the Middle East. He has worked on several
documentaries on National Geographic, accusing the Bush administration of
waging war for oil.
The interview was conducted live in Canada, during my trip a
few days ago. Robert Baer is currently promoting his book “The Secrets of the
White House” in Quebec, where we talked. In an interview we spoke of the
background of the war in Yugoslavia.
Where and when was your first job in Yugoslavia?
I arrived by helicopter with three agents. We landed on 12
January 1991 in Sarajevo. Our job was to keep an eye on alleged terrorists of
Serbian nationality, who were expected to attack Sarajevo.
Who were the terrorists in question and why were they
supposed to carry out these attacks?
They gave us files about a group called “Supreme Serbia”
detailing plans to conduct a series of bomb attacks on key buildings in
Sarajevo in opposition to Bosnia’s ambition to leave former Yugoslavia.
Did that group ever exist and what exactly you were doing in
Sarajevo under CIA command?
No such group ever existed! Our headquarters lied to us. Our
mission was to alarm and spread panic among politicians in Bosnia, simply to
fill their heads with the idea that Serbs would attack. To begin with, we
accepted the story, but after a while we started to wonder. Why were we raising
such hysteria when the group clearly did not exist?
How and when did the mission end and did it have a name?
For me it ended after two weeks, I landed a new job in
Slovenia. The operation lasted a month and had the name “Istina” (i.e. “truth”)
although it was anything but!
Why did you go to Slovenia?
I received instructions that Slovenia was ready to declare
independence. We were given money, a few million dollars, to fund various NGOs,
opposition parties and various politicians who have inflamed hatred.
Did you have an opinion about the CIA propaganda and did
your colleagues think?
Of course, no one turns down a CIA mission, especially when
we were all nervous and prone to paranoia! Many CIA agents and senior officers
disappeared simple because they refused to conduct propaganda against the Serbs
in Yugoslavia. Personally I was shocked at the dose of lies being fed from our
agencies and politicians! Many CIA agents were directed propaganda without
being aware of what they are doing. Everyone knew just a fraction of the story
and only the one who create the whole story knew the background – they are
politicians.
So there was only propaganda against the Serbs?
Yes and no. The aim of the propaganda was to divide the republics
so they would break away from the motherland Yugoslavia. We had to choose a
scapegoat who would be blamed for everything. Someone who would be responsible
for the war and violence. Serbia was chosen because in some ways it is a
successor to Yugoslavia.
Can you name the politicians in the former Yugoslavia were
paid by the CIA?
Yes, although it is somewhat delicate. Stipe Mesic, Franjo
Tudjman, Alija Izetbegovic, many counselors and members of the government of
Yugoslavia, were paid as were Serbian generals, journalists and even some
military units. Radovan Karadzic was being paid for a while but stopped
accepting help when he realised he would be sacrificed and charged with war
crimes committed in Bosnia. It was directed by the American administration.
You mentioned that the media was controlled and funded, how
exactly did that happen?
This is already known, some CIA agents were responsible for
writing the official statement that the announcers read on the news. Of course
the news presenters were oblivious to it, they got the news from their boss and
he got it from our man. Everyone had the same mission: to spread hatred,
nationalism and the differences between people through television.
We all know of Srebrenica, can you say about it?
Yes! In 1992 I was in Bosnia again, but this time we were
supposed to train military units to represent Bosnia, a new state that had just
declared independence. Srebrenica is an exaggerated story and unfortunately
many people are being manipulated. The number of victims is the same as the
number of Serbs and others killed but Srebrenica is political marketing. My
boss, who was formerly a US Senator, stressed repeatedly that some kind of scam
would go down in Bosnia. A month before the alleged genocide in Srebrenica, he
told me that the town would be headline news around the world and ordered us to
call the media. When I asked why, he said you’ll see. The new Bosnian army got
the order to attack homes and civilians. These were of course citizens of
Srebrenica. At the same moment, the Serbs attacked from the other side.
Probably someone had paid to incite them!
Then who is guilty of genocide in Srebrenica?
Srebrenica should be blamed on Bosnians, Serbs and Americans
– that is us! But in fact everything has been blamed on the Serbs.
Unfortunately, many of the victims buried as Muslims were Serbs and other
nationalities. A few years ago a friend of mine, a former CIA agent and now at
the IMF, said that Srebrenica is the product of agreement between the US government
and politicians in Bosnia. The town of Srebrenica was sacrificed to give
America a motive to attack the Serbs for their alleged crimes.
Ultimately why do you think Yugoslavia collapsed and why did
your government want to do it?
It is all very clear, the people who incited the war and
dictated the terms of the peace now own the companies that exploit various
mineral resources and the like! They simply made slaves of you, your people
work for nothing and that produce goes to Germany and America…they are the
winners! You will eventually have to purchase and import what you have created
yourself, and since you have no money, you have to borrow, that’s the whole
story with the whole of the Balkans!
You were never in Kosovo as a CIA agent, but did you feel
any pressure from America?
Of course! Kosovo has taken for two reasons, first because
of mineral and natural resources, and secondly, Kosovo is a military base of
NATO! In the heart of Europe is their largest military base.
Do you have a message for the people of the former
Yugoslavia?
I have. Forget the past, it was staged and false. They
manipulated you, they got what they wanted and it is stupid that you still hate
one another, you must show that you are stronger and you realise who has
created this ! I sincerely apologise! That’s why I have for a long time
disclosed the secrets of the CIA and the White House!
I want to express my condolences to the American people for the cowardly attack to San Bernardino (CA) ...
An thought for the victims and their families ...
A thought for the wounded and their relatives ...
A thought to law enforcement that risciano their lives to keep the Liberty of the American people.
A thought because the institutions are able to reacting strongly, but the weighted versus this new way of operating of the terrorists.
An image grab taken from a propaganda video by ISIS militants in Iraq.
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — A high Russian official said Tuesday that some 80,000 militants are fighting for the Islamic State, out of which 30,000 are in Iraq and 50,000 in Syria with some 7,000 nationals of former Soviet states fighting for ISIS, the Russian state-controlled TASS news agency reported.
"According to reports, militants now control around 40 percent of Iraqi territory and 50 percent of Syrian territory," TASS quoted Yevgeny Sysoyev, the deputy head of the Russian Federal Security (FSB), the successor agency to the KGB, as saying at a security conference in the Russian city of Sochi Tuesday.
"Among members of the group are citizens of 80 countries, including France, Great Britain, Germany, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the US, Canada, as well as Russia and other [Commonwealth of Independent States] countries," he added. "Among them are about 30,000 foreign terrorists. Most of them come from the Middle East and North Africa."
[ Editor’s
Note:
Sometimes we like to move fast on a breaking story to beat mainstream news with
all their money and manpower. And it other times our sixth sense kicks in,
telling us to lay back a bit, study the early reporting for clues as to what is
NOT being reported, and activate one of our specialty major investigation
teams.
We
unfortunately had more activity on our airline crash team in the last year or
so, where those teams are weighted with senior pilots and crash investigators,
mostly through long time contacts. When we get into mini-nuke investigations
the list grows much shorter as there are fewer of those folks around.
As you will
quickly learn below, if you do not know what to look for and have some depth in
the scary science of what make various things go boom, and the trail left
behind to tell you what it was, have the evidence in front of you is of no
consequence.
We have
added more technical material than usual for a general audience as this piece
had to also be written for weapons and explosive experts around that world, and
they will catch on this game very fast. Fortunately explosives are an
intensively studied field with massive amounts of testing and data collected.
The people who look at this stuff in their profession have to walking
encyclopedias of the past research so they can spot a tiny clue in a photo of massive
destruction.
We have
stepped up to the plate to do this because we have the ability and for the
reason I gave Dr. Jim Walsh of MIT’s Securities Studies Program. On a
recent Press TV The Debate show on the anniversary of the Nagasaki
bombing, I had planned to plug mini-nukes once again as the elephant in the
living room of terror threats that the world now faces.
It is
also one where there is a total security, media and academic institutional
stand down on warning the public about any of this as more than a few countries
have and are using these. That group does not include Veterans Today and it
never will.
We feel we
have a duty to push exposing this threat until the public wakes up that if they
don’t get off their butts and start screaming you are going to see more of
these happening. We have warned that doing nothing would only embolden those
doing this, and we were right
So I
dedicate this article today to “expert” Mr. Walsh who was upset by my
mention of the mini-nuke threat to the point of attacking it saying,
“I think
this idea that there has been testing of mini-nukes around the world is crazy
conspiracy talk. No serious person believes this… there is a test ban treaty
that has monitoring testing posts all around the world designed to detect nuclear
explosions associated with testing, they have never turned up any of this. I
know of no serious person who believes that.”
My context
of course, which I am sure Walsh understood, was not in formal testing, but
“live” testing…as in on people and targets to demonstrate what they can do and
to send a message to someone(s)…and yes…to terrorize people. So Mr. Walsh,
excuse me if we don’t consider you and your buddies “serious people” as with
you protecting us we are in sad shape. And speaking of that, you and your crowd
need to shape up or ship out, sir… Jim W. Dean ]
Two
weeks ago a devastating explosion took place in the port city of Tianjin,
China. Official reports claimed a chemical storage facility had caught fire and
exploded. Mobile phone footage taken by residents showed an enormous blast and
fireball.
Within
days, aerial photos revealed the stunning extent of the damage. A steaming
black crater marks ground zero, while the apocalyptic surrounding landscape is
charred and flattened. Rows of burnt-out cars and twisted shipping containers
stretch into the distance on all sides
The extent of the devastation is such that it must have been a very big bang indeed
La superficie totale bruciata si estende su 20.000 metri
quadrati e continua ad essere pericoloso — più esplosioni sono stati segnalati
dalle autorità cinesi il 15TH di agosto. Sono stati trasferiti i
residenti entro un raggio di 3 miglia; almeno 85 vittime dell'incidente sono
state segnalate morti.
We were
immediately suspicious, such huge explosions have to be viewed with suspicion
these days when tactical nuclear weapons can and are used with alarming
frequency – 9-11, The Khobar Towers, the Haiti Earthquake and most recently,
air dropped on Yemen.
Massive devastation over a wide area.
The
mobile phone as radiation detector
The key
clue that allowed us to identify the use of a nuke in Yemen was the presence of
scintillating pixels – white dots that flashed on and off briefly in the mobile
phone videos of the explosion. The CCD imaging sensor within the camera phone
is being struck by radiation thus causing a pixel to overload and appear white;
in this way a mobile phone can serve double duty as a crude but effective
radiation detector.
When the
Tianjin blast occurred I immediately looked at the mobile phone footage of the
blast and tried to find scintillating pixels; I couldn’t find any, but the huge
white hot fireball and sheer size of the blast effect apparent in the footage
(shaken buildings, breaking windows etc.) certainly didn’t feel like a
conventional explosion to my relatively untrained eyes.
It was
actually VT Contributor and expert on all things nuclear, Jeff Smith who taught
us about scintillating pixels and the use of a mobile phone camera to detect
radiation; therefore I consulted him about the lack of scintillation in the
Tianjin footage:
Scintillation
is based on the distance from the blast. The farther you get away from the
blast the less neutron exposure you get. CCD Cameras will detect scintillation
but only at high levels. They are not sensitive to far field radiation
patterns. All CCD cameras were too far away to be sensitive enough to show
scintillation properly.
So
you have to look at the white out in the centre of the photo. This is where the
brightness is so great that it overloads the ccd pickup chip causing a clipping
effect. The fact that the fireball was whited out or clipped indicates that the
colour temperature was over 4,000 degrees C. Only achievable in a nuclear
blast. The cameras auto gain circuit clips the video level for being too bright
so you get a white out on the screen.
The fireball with white hot centre.
No
scintillation but a clear piece of evidence indicating a nuclear explosion in
the form of the huge white fireball – once again, mobile phone footage proves
useful in deciphering the truth.
The
parking lots full of toasted cars
As
reports and images became available, we studied them carefully for evidence of
the use of a nuclear weapon and sadly, it was not long before we found it – the
first big clue coming with the pictures of the thousands of toasted cars that
looked eerily like those seen on 9-11.
Thousands of burnt out Volkswagen Beetles close to ground zero in Tianjin
While a
layman like myself can recognise the overall similarity, it takes an expert to
fully analyse the evidence contained in the pictures; luckily, at VT we have
such an expert in the erstwhile Jeff Smith who provided the following analysis:
Normal
people are not trained in what to look at so they simply ignore the obvious.
However, once you see enough explosions like this you begin to spot the
artefacts in the photos real fast. Unfortunately all of these people that know
this stuff usually work for the government. Just like I did.
The
big clue is in the ash produced and the exploding radiators on the cars. They
show the radiation and the blast patterns the best. All melted rubber, glass,
and aluminium but no melted steel? This tells you it is from radiation and not
from a gasoline fire. Temps between 1500 degrees C for melting aluminium and
less than 3,000 degrees C for melting steel. Everything organic ashes below 450
degrees C.
This
had a plasma fireball that was over 4,000C! Only a nuke can do that. The clue
is in the white ash leftover from the thermal blast.
White ash caused by the thermal blast covered everything near ground zero
A.
The fuel tanks did not explode.
B.
The rubber tires were ashed not burned see the white powder residue around the
cars.
C.
The radiators are all gone; indicating Freon explosions.
D.
All the glass is ashed or melted; also the the glass was blown out not in.
E.
All new white cars show extreme effects from very high temperature heating. The
paint is badly damaged due to a very high oxidation rate effect.
F.
Silicone rubber tires ash at 500 degrees centigrade. Glass ashes at 1500
degrees centigrade. Gasoline at 250 degrees centigrade. Tires melted but no gas
tank explosions; just like on 911.
G.
Yellow Volkswagen Beetle cars untouched due to location indicating radiation
shielding from a nearby building. Just like on 911….
H.
Finally and most important is all of the nano particle sized ash on the ground
everywhere. Purple haze in photo is an indication of toxic levels of the gases
fluorine, chlorine and sodium.
Conclusion;
The damage to the cars was produced by neutron radiation damage and not by
conventional explosives or a fuel-air explosion. The distance from ground zero
is too great for a standard blast to melt the glass and tires. Also the cars
fuel tanks were shielded from the heat of the ignition source.
Purple haze indicating the presence of toxic levels of the gases fluorine, chlorine and sodium
So
there you have it, the ‘smoking gun’ evidence of a nuke is to be found among
the smoking wreckage of those incinerated cars. However, the pictures of burnt
out cars contain more evidence to be analysed before we move on to the other
evidence.
The
melted radiators and the role of Freon
As
you can clearly see in the picture below, the radiator of this vehicle has been
completely destroyed, incinerated into ash. Only the steel top plate remains,
all of the aluminium and copper of the radiator core have been turned into a
pile of ash. Once again, our resident expert Jeff Smith was able to provide
insight and analysis of what we are seeing:
Incinerated remains of a car close to ground zero.
Incinerated
remains of a car close to ground zero.
All
of the radiators exploded from Freon decomposition into methane, deuterium
fluoride, and phosgene gas; thus causing engine fires – note the melted hoods
and also how overpressure from an air burst explosion has compressed the hoods
of the cars.
The
copper-clad/aluminium automotive radiator is transparent to nuclear radiation.
It acts as a black body hollow-ram neutron reflector and functions just exactly
like its bigger brother the two staged Teller-Ulman H-bomb. What this means is
if you put DT gas or 2HF (Freon) in a vacuum chamber such as a car radiator,
you reduce its density thus it take less energy to either split it or fuse it
when exposed to neutrons, Gamma-rays or even soft x-rays from a nearby nuclear
explosion – if the blast is large enough or close enough.
This
forms the basis of a micro nuclear explosive device, with ignition temperatures
high enough to melt just about anything that comes in contact with it. The key
is in the lower density of the gas making compression of it a lot easier. This
explains all of the melted car air conditioning radiators and follow on fires.
Also the lack of fallout.
Here you can actually see the radiators at the front of the cars are on fire but the
rear of the cars are untouched.
See
Appendix A.
The
Crater at Ground Zero
Once
again, Jeff Smith was able to provide detailed analyses of the available
imagery of the blast crater at ground zero and the damage to the surrounding
area. Jeff along with Jim stone and others stated that:
This
was NOT an accident, the fracture pattern around the crater proves a to be a
shallow sub ground burst. If it was a sub ground burst, then a small nuclear
weapon is the biggest possibility because once a nuke has to push dirt, the
blinding flash will not be seen. A slightly subsurface detonation would explain
why camera sensors did not get strange artefacts. And if it was not a nuke, it
was something else incredibly huge, but not a fuel air bomb because fuel air
bombs will not leave craters. They also leave an oily carbide residue on
everything.
Even
my layman’s eye can immediately tell that the explosion that caused this level
of devastation was far beyond a mere explosion of stored chemicals. Also, there
were no storage buildings at ground zero, just some stacks of shipping
containers. Also, it is obvious to me that immense heat was present – look at
the gray-white ash everywhere. Jeff was able to explain what I was seeing in
these disturbing images:
A
little bit more of a detailed explanation: If the blast happened at ground
level, almost all of the energy would go upwards and the blast would not have
made a large deep crater, especially one large enough and deep enough to make
that lake. If you look to the right hand side of the lake, you can see fracture
patterns in the earth, which were caused by the earth being compressed sideways
and not downwards. This would only be done with a sub surface blast. After the
blast, the earth bounced back towards the centre of the lake, which opened up
the cracks.
Look
closely at the ground around the lake. Those who claimed it was not a nuke
cited the fact that if it was, everything around the crater would be vaporized
and wiped clean. Now that we have the real crater pic from the big blast, YEP,
it matches that perfectly. Take a look at the containers laying in the lower
left corner of this picture – they have no paint or colour, which means they
had the surfaces incinerated by intense heat only a nuke or other super weapon
would reach. If this was a carbide blast, they would be black or have their
original colours to some degree, complete colour change to only gray proves
this explosion was FREAKING HOT.
That
type and size of blast crater will only happen if a massive bomb goes off a few
feet underground, such as a tactical nuke in a drain pipe which leaves scant
few alternative options. No chemical blast did that, PERIOD. The building that
is still standing in the upper right hand side of the frame is a typical
example of what is left after a nuclear test, concrete buildings seldom get
levelled, but they do get gutted by nuclear blasts. Just look through pictures
of the soviet nuclear tests and you will see this. Bottom line? The aftermath
is completely consistent with a nuclear blast.
Even
to the untrained eye, the imagery of the aftermath of this awful event cannot
be mistaken as anything other than horriffic; when you also have expert
testimony that explains the true nature of what you are seeing the imagery
becomes even more shocking and disturbing. Destruction on this scale will
become commonplace if the perpetrators are allowed to get away with this as it
will signal to all parties possessed of tactical nuclear weapons that it is
possible to put them to use without disclosure of that fact by the media.
Perhaps more concerning is China’s silence on the nuclear aspect of this great
crime – they are still sticking to their story of fire setting off explosions
of stored chemicals. As we have shown, this story is about as credible as the one
about hijacking airliners with boxcutters; given state control of the media in
China, it might be a while before people learn the truth.
Identifying
the type of weapon and Seismology of the event
Now
we have established that a nuclear explosion took place, let us examine more
closely the nature of that explosion. One important question is the delivery
method – was it a strike by a cruise missile or was it a bomb hidden inside a
shipping container? Or is there another answer to this question? The crater
strongly indicates the explosion was sub-surface which appears to rule out the
bomb having been smuggled into Tianjin in a shipping container. It does not
rule out a cruise missile strike however – the ground in this area is very
soft, alluvial deposits of soft silts and clays deposited over time by the
nearby river. A cruise missile impacting this soft ground at over 500mph would
surely penetrate to some depth; if a delayed action fuse was fitted to the
warhead, this would create an shallow underground explosion. Jeff Smith
provides further analysis:
Note
the crater is about 400 feet wide as measured by comparison to the standard
shipping container sizes of 40 feet. The crater is a complex crater with a
cardioid shape indicating a very low altitude or surface contact blast. Side
ways compression of the soil indicates some ground penetration. Penetration
depth of ground is based on soil type and burst height. Horizontal crater size
is roughly equal to ( for every 100 feet, 1 Kiloton in size) see charts. This
would put the blast size depending on air burst altitude to be between 3 and 5
kilotons of explosive power.
Satellite image of Tianjin with overlay of blast radius
See
Appendix B.
If it
was a low altitude air burst, ground coupling will be less showing a smaller
Richter scale reading than usual. The only question is the fallout issue. Was
there any and of what type. Since it rained after the blast most of the fallout
went out to sea proven by the massive fish kill in the bay. The safety zone was
set at 3 kilometres. This is a correct value for small tactical nuke fallout
range. 1 KM per KT. The only other question was it a uranium weapon a plutonium
based weapon or other i.e. a fusion weapon? Uranium cannot be traced very
well but a PU based weapon can be traced down to the reactor that made it and
the chemical separation process that was used. Firemen were shown carrying
radiation and poisonous gas detectors.
Given
the 3km evacuation zone we can assume an explosive yield of around 3 kilotons.
A typical cruise missile nuclear warhead such as the Israeli ‘Popeye’
carries 6 kilograms of plutonium; using the rule of thumb of 1 kiloton yield
per kilogram of plutonium, the size of the explosion correlates with the yield
of a typical cruise missile warhead.
Jeff
also noticed that a secondary blast took place; this is another indicator of
the nuclear nature of this event, as Jeff explains:
Well
it looks like there were two major blasts not just one. There are two sections
of the video where the blast whites out the entire camera. This is the original
neutron burst going off; everything else is a secondary or the atmosphere
heating up and burning.
Note:
The reaction caused, a sustained glowing in the sky which is a well known
indicator of a nuclear explosion. Non-nuclear weapons do not provide a
sustained “Sun-like” illumination because they do not have enough energy to
ignite the oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere.
Another
aspect that requires study is the seismology readings of the event.. Once
again, Jeff provides some insight:
The
first blast registered 2.3 on the Richter scale and the second 2.9.
Eyewitnesses described what felt like a quake. USGS geophysicist John Bellini
says seismographs detect man-made explosions in quarries all the time, but
usually surface explosions are not detected very well because most of their
energy dissipates upward into the air. The fact is that the Tianjin explosions
registered a seismographic event that had as much energy as a small earthquake.
One can reasonably conclude that unlike a surface explosion of chemicals, this
kinetic energy released underground was caused by a powerful penetration of the
surface.
In
this article we have tried to provide a thorough but clear and concise analysis
of the available evidence and show that it is clear that this was no simple
fire in a chemical storage depot that resulted in an explosion but rather it
was the detonation of a nuclear weapon of unknown type by an unknown
party. We will examine the who and why in a follow-up article.
This
is a very significant event that will undoubtedly prove to be of great
importance in subsequent world events. In many ways, this is China’s 9-11.
Let
us all hope that unlike 9-11, the Nuking of Tianjin does not become the cassus
belli for a whole series of unjustified, brutal and bloody conflicts.
One
thing is already very clearly illustrated by this tragic event – the gloves are
most definitely off when it comes to the use of tactical nuclear weapons; we
are living in an new nuclear age where a great number of countries possess the
means to create and deploy tactical nukes and most worrying of all, these low
yield weapons can be used and have already been used without fear of
mutually assured destruction; the doctrine that prevented the Cold War from
going nuclear. This makes the world a much more dangerous place and undoubtedly
means we will see many more nuclear explosions in future.
There
is an old Chinese curse – “may you live in interesting times”; these are
certainly ‘interesting’ times for anyone who is paying attention to events in
China.

Appendix C for further reading and reference materials.
Appendix
A:
An
introduction to the physical principles of thermonuclear explosive devices
would be incomplete did it not give at least a cursory overview of the
different approaches to igniting thermonuclear
micro-explosions.
A
thermonuclear micro-explosion is an explosive release of thermonuclear energy
many orders of magnitude smaller than from a thermonuclear weapon. To achieve
this goal, the fission trigger must be replaced by some other means of
producing the required ignition temperature, but in a much smaller volume and without
the large energy release.
The
possibility of thermonuclear micro-explosions is itself a consequence of two
facts: first, the fact that the minimum volume to make a thermonuclear
explosion is given by the range of the charged
fusion
products \ 0 , and, second, scaling. At solid densities and thermonuclear
temperatures the range is of the order of a few centimeters and, is inversely
proportional to the density p of the thermonuclear explosive. We can therefore
write for this range.
X0 =
a/p, a — const.
For
the DT reaction we easily find that the minimum ignition energy is about 108
Joules. To obtain a useful gain the output energy should be at least ~ 100
times larger, that is, 1010 Joules = 10 n erg, which corresponds to the
explosive power of approximately 2 tons of TNT.
The
ignition energy can be substantially reduced by increasing the density of the
thermonuclear explosive. However, since for p > p, the compression to higher
densities also requires energy, the input energy is in reality larger than the
value given by Eq. (132).
The
time r to deposit the energy in the target is given by r ^ r/v, where v is the
thermal expansion velocity of the thermonuclear plasma of radius r, which is a
function only of the temperature.
Michael Flynn, ex capo della Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA): “Penso che sia stata una decisione. Penso che sia stata una decisione volontaria”.
Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, ex Director of DIA
Gli Stati Uniti non hanno impedito l’ascesa di gruppi
jihadisti anti-governativi in Siria poi degenerato nello Stato islamico. A
parlare è l’ex capo della Defense Intelligence Agency americana, che in un
rapporto segreto del 2012 aveva accuratamente predetto la loro ascesa.
In un’intervista a Mehdi Hasan, il tenente generale in
pensione Michael Flynn, ex capo della Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
conferma i sospetti iniziali che Washington stava monitorando gruppi jihadisti
emergenti come opposizione in Siria.
Flynn ritiene che il governo degli Stati Uniti non ha
ascoltato la sua agenzia di proposito.
“Penso che sia stata una decisione. Penso che sia stata una
decisione volontaria “, ha detto l’ex capo della DIA.
Il rapporto della DIA presentata nel mese di agosto 2012
affermava che “i salafiti, i Fratelli Musulmani, e AQI [Al-Qaeda in Iraq] erano
le forze principali che guidavano l’insurrezione in Siria,” sostenute da
“Occidente, Paesi del Golfo e la Turchia . “
Il documento recentemente divulgato attraverso il Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), analizza la situazione in Siria, nell’estate del 2012 e
prevede: “Se la situazione degenera, vi è la possibilità di stabilire un
principato salafita dichiarato o non dichiarato in Siria orientale … e
questo è esattamente ciò che i poteri di sostegno all’opposizione vogliono, al
fine di isolare il regime siriano “.
Il rapporto mette in guardia da “terribili conseguenze”,
perché permetterebbe di Al-Qaeda di riconquistare le sue posizioni in Iraq e
unificare le forze sunnite jihadiste in Iraq, la Siria e il resto dei sunniti
nel mondo arabo contro tutte le altre minoranze musulmane essi considerano
dissidenti.
“ISI (lo Stato Islamico dell’Iraq) potrebbe anche
dichiarare uno Stato islamico attraverso la sua unione con altre
organizzazioni terroristiche in Iraq e Siria, che creerà un grave pericolo per
quanto riguarda la possibilità di unificare l’Iraq e la protezione del suo
territorio”, il rapporto DIA aveva previsto correttamente.
A differenza del Dipartimento di Stato degli Stati Uniti,
che si precipitò ad etichettare il memo DIA declassificati come poco rilevanti
subito dopo il suo declassamento, l’ex capo della DIA ha espresso piena fiducia
nella relazione del 2012.
Quando Hasan di Al Jazeera ha chiesto Flynn perché non ha
cercato di fermare gli Stati Uniti rispetto ai trasferimenti di armi verso gli
estremisti islamici, il generale in pensione, ha detto: “Odio dire che non è
il mio lavoro, ma il mio lavoro è stato quello di garantire la precisione della
nostra intelligence “, ha detto Flynn, che è stato anche direttore
dell’intelligence per il Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) durante la
ricerca degli Stati Uniti a Bin Laden.
Ankara sta utilizzando i raid contro l'ISIS come scusa
per rinnovare la sua repressione contro i curdi
Alcuni dei combattenti di maggior successo contro lo Stato
islamico vengono isolati e attaccati dal nuovo alleato preferito dell'America
nella regione, la Turchia.
Le milizie curde stanno raggiungendo gli obiettivi
dichiarati dell'amministrazione Obama - "degradare e distruggere"
l'ISIS - altrettanto bene o meglio di qualsiasi altra forza di combattimento.
Da Kobane alla recente liberazione di Tel Abyad , le milizie curde hanno vinto
battaglie duramente combattute contro i miliziani dell'ISIS in Siria, evitando
l'avanzata del gruppo nel nord dell'Iraq, spiega Lee Fang su The
Intercept.
Cosa c'è di più, i curdi nel nord della Siria, hanno
stabilito un ordine politico come pochi altri in questa regione del mondo.
Conosciute come Rojava, le zone curde controllate della Siria sono
disciplinate attraverso forum decisionali partecipativi che includono consigli
composti da donne, cristiani, yazidi e musulmani.
Ma questi guadagni sono ora messi in pericolo dalla
Turchia, che ha una lunga storia di ostilità verso l'etnia curda e temendo
la possibilità di uno stato curdo a sud, nel nord della Siria o in Iraq, flette
i suoi muscoli politici a Washington e fa uso della sua potenza militare in
Medio Oriente.
Dietro le quinte, i lobbisti americani ingaggiati dalla
Turchia hanno iniziato a lavorare per bloccare l'assistenza militare ai
combattenti curdi già dallo scorso anno.
Il governo turco ha ora messo due importanti basi aeree a disposizione delle
forze Usa e ha iniziato i propri attacchi aerei contro l'ISIS. Ma questa mossa
è uno specchietto per le allodole dal momento che l'obiettivo principale
della Turchia sembra essere una nuova offensiva contro i militanti curdi.
In contemporanea con il suo annuncio circa l'accesso Usa
alle sue basi aeree, il governo turco ha rotto la sua tregua con i militanti
curdi. Durante la scorsa settimana, l'esercito turco ha cominciato ad
attaccare le basi curde in Iraq e in Siria. Il governo turco sostiene che la
sua campagna è semplicemente una risposta ad un attacco da parte del PKK, un
gruppo separatista, e ha sottolineato che sta anche colpendo ISIS.
Venerdì scorso, la Turchia ha compiuto una serie di arresti
di massa. Anche se alcuni sostenitori dell'ISIS sono stati arrestati, la
"stragrande maggioranza" degli arrestati, secondo la stampa locale,
erano simpatizzanti di movimenti comunisti e di sinistra turchi e curdi. E
martedì, il presidente turco Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ha chiesto che venga
tolta l'immunità ai deputati dell'HDP, un partito politico curdo di sinistra
che ha ottenuto seggi in parlamento per la prima volta il mese scorso.
La Turchia ha intenzione di utilizzare maggiori attacchi
aerei per creare una " zona di sicurezza" per le milizie arabe
sunnite, che, come il New York Times ha notato, sarebbe a scapito di
combattenti curdi.
Invece di condannare gli attacchi contro i curdi, l'amministrazione
Obama ha elogiato il governo della Turchia per aver concesso la sua base aerea
In the long run, we're all dead, but if you're part of the eurozone,
what's the difference? You might as well be already. Indeed, it seems
almost impossible, but Italy has only grown 4 percent—in total—since the
euro was created 16 years ago. That's worse than Greece.
Now, it
hasn't all been bad news in Europe. Not only did Germany grow at a
faster-than-expected 2.8 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter of
2014, but so did Spain. Even Portugal grew at a 2 percent pace. It was
enough that the eurozone as a whole grew an
at-least-it's-not-a-recession 1.2 percent.
But these glimmers of good news are only those—glimmers. Greece's
latest austerity showdown with Europe has scared its banks and
businesses so much that its nascent recovery turned into a 0.8 percent
contraction. And while Italy didn't shrink, it didn't grow either.
It
doesn't get any better if you take a longer view. Portugal, as you can
see above, has only grown 7.2 percent in 16 years, Greece a little more
than 4 percent, and Italy right at 4 percent. What's gone wrong? Well,
everything. They all have supply and demand problems. That first part means that it's too hard to start a business,
too hard to expand one and too hard to fire people. That makes their
economies sclerotic even in the good times, and doomed in the bad ones.
But those bad times have been worse than they should have been, because
the ECB has refused to do its job and keep inflation near 2 percent. In
fact, it actually made things worse by raising rates twice in 2011
to fight what was mostly phantom inflation. It didn't help that they
were forced to try to slash their deficits all at the same time. The
result was a double-dip recession that's almost pushed them back to
where they were when the euro began—and made their debt problems worse.
Italy
is the real problem here, though. Greece and Portugal both have a lot
of debt and both have been bailed out, but at least they're starting to
recover and are small enough that Europe can extend-and-pretend what
they owe into a tomorrow that never quite comes. But Italy isn't
recovering at all, and its debts are too big to be ignored. So, to say
the least, it's going to need to start growing more than 0.25 percent a
year. The question is whether its people will give up on that happening
inside the euro.
Dopo averlo visto sono rimasto senza parole… NON LASCIAMO CHE QUESTO VIDEO VENGA SOTTOVALUTATO… PER PRIMA COSA GUARDATELO E ASCOLTATE LE IDIOZIE LE IMBECCILITA E LE MINACCE FANATICHE, VENGONO DETTE DA QUESTO SQUILIBRATO. Per sostenere le ideologie che portano avanti con convinzione…devono essere davvero esaltati! Pensare di poter imporre una religione ad un popolo che ne ha già una, è un intento scriteriato che non si radica in nessun fondamento valido. Con l’imposizione non si ottiene nulla… Noi Cristiani, non siamo andati da nessuno ad imporre il nostro crocifisso con le nostre preghiere, tanto meno abbiamo chiesto riverenze nei confronti del nostro Dio, quindi… Se proprio ci tenete al vostro Allah… tenetevelo, pregatelo e lasciateci in pace!L’ intervista Shock è stata trasmessa nella trasmissione televisiva “piazzapulita” su La7. La giornalista fa delle domandi a l’imam londinese Anjem Choudary, e le risposte date…vi lasceranno di sasso.
Le parole che ascolterete in questo video sono davvero scioccanti, e non lo diciamo per il contenuto in se e per se…Lo affermiamo semplicemente perchè a scioccare è la convinzione pura e ferma di questo Imam Londinese che dichiara: “Non preoccupatevi a venire da noi… perchè saremo noi, un giorno, a venire da voi…Vi conquisteremo e faremo dell’ Islam il futuro dell’umanità. Dopo quello che avete visto, DOVETE IMPARARE LA LEZIONE E BASTA. Chi insulta il profeta DEVE MORIRE”…
Anjem Choudary, uno dei più importanti imam europei: “Bin Laden è il nostro eroe. Voi avete paura della morte, noi no”. L’Islam non è una religione… Bensì una ideologia, non siamo come i cristiano che porgono l’altra guancia, a noi è permesso reagire. Una violenza a fin di bene, per un mondo migliore.
Poi continua: ”Non ho dubbi che ci saranno attacchi in Europa. Gli occidentali non vogliono morire, mentre noi grazie alla fede non abbiamo paura.”Guardate il video e sentirete tanto altro…
