I got this from my cousin's husband over the holidays and thought I'd post it. It may be old news, but it was new to me, and sent chills up my spine, and still does. God help us if this ever happens. It literally could bring about the collapse of the United States, and at the very least, the country would never be the same again.
And while all this is going on, democrats are doing all they can to kill those 14 provisions of the Patriot Act, taking the CIA, NSA, and FBI to pre-9/11 rules where intelligence gathering applies. MADNESS!!! SHEER MADNESS!!! If this is old and everyone already seen this, please excuse. I'm new.
The search for nukes in Washington, D.C. Government monitors radiation levels at 100 Muslim mosques, homes, sites
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government has been monitoring radiation levels at more than 100 mosques, homes, businesses and other sites in and around the nation's capital and at least five other cities since Sept. 11, 2001, providing further evidence law enforcement officials suspect terrorists have secreted nuclear or radiological weapons inside the country.
On July 11, 2005, we first reported on al-Qaida's decade-long plans to detonate nuclear devices in seven major U.S. cities simultaneously in an operation it calls "American Hiroshima."
In numerous cases, reports U.S. News, the monitoring required investigators to go on to the property under surveillance, although no search warrants or court orders were ever obtained.
The nuclear surveillance program began in early 2002 and has been run by the FBI and the Department of Energy's Nuclear Emergency Support Team, or NEST, according to the report.
The other cities monitored include Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York, and Seattle.
As reported, former FBI consultant Paul L. Williams describes how al-Qaida has already purchased some post-Soviet mini-nukes and hired Russians to help them operate them. The report was first published in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter.
Al-Qaida's prime targets for launching nuclear terrorist attacks are the nine U.S. cities with the highest Jewish populations, according to captured leaders and documents.
As first revealed last week in the G2 Bulletin, Osama bin Laden is planning what he calls an "American Hiroshima," the ultimate terrorist attack on U.S. cities, using nuclear weapons already smuggled into the country across the Mexican border along with thousands of sleeper agents.
The series of attacks is designed to kill 4 million, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history.
At least two fully assembled and operational nuclear weapons are believed to be hidden in the United States already, according to G2 Bulletin intelligence sources and an upcoming book, "The al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse," by former FBI consultant Paul L. Williams.
The cities chosen as optimal targets are New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Washington, D.C. New York and Washington top the preferred target list for al-Qaida leadership.
Osama bin Laden's goal, according to G2 Bulletin sources, is to launch one initial attack, followed by a second on another city to simulate the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The optimal dates for the attacks are Aug. 6, the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, Sept. 11 and May 14, the anniversary of the re-creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
The captured terrorists and documents also suggest smaller attacks may take place on American soil before the nuclear incidents. They may include some involving automatic weapons at schools and shopping malls, but will not include any airplane hijackings. Why? Because bin Laden does not want any failed efforts to overshadow "the success of Sept. 11." There will also not be any attacks on U.S. nuclear power plants. The rationale? The nuclear power plants can act as force multipliers when the weapons of mass destruction are detonated.
Another requirement dictated from the top at al-Qaida is that the attacks take place in daylight, so that the whole world will be able to see the images of a mushroom cloud over an American city.
One of the sources for the information is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, who is now in U.S. custody.
As previously reported by G2 Bulletin, al-Qaida has obtained at least 40 nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union - including suitcase nukes, nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads. In addition, documents captured in Afghanistan show al-Qaida had plans to assemble its own nuclear weapons with fissile material it purchased on the black market.
U.S. military sources also say there is evidence to suggest al-Qaida is paying former Russian special forces "Spetznaz" troops to assist the terrorist group in locating nuclear weapons planted in the U.S. during the Cold War. Osama bin Laden's group is also paying nuclear scientists from Russia and Pakistan to maintain its existing nuclear arsenal and assemble additional weapons with the materials it has invested hundreds of millions in procuring over a period of 10 years. Al-Qaida sources indicate they would prefer to use Russian-made weapons for symbolic reasons.
The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow to the U.S., which is seen by al-Qaida and its allies as "the Great Satan."
At least half the nuclear weapons in the al-Qaida arsenal were obtained for cash from the Chechen terrorist allies.
But the most disturbing news is that high level U.S. officials now believe at least some of those weapons have been smuggled into the U.S. for use in the near future in major cities as part of this "American Hiroshima" plan.
According to Williams, former CIA Director George Tenet informed President Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase nukes had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.
"Each suitcase weighed between 50 and 80 kilograms (approximately 110 to 176 pounds) and contained enough fissionable plutonium and uranium to produce an explosive yield in excess of two kilotons," wrote Williams. "One suitcase bore the serial number 9999 and the Russian manufacturing date of 1988. The design of the weapons, Tenet told the president, is simple. The plutonium and uranium are kept in separate compartments that are linked to a triggering mechanism that can be activated by a clock or a call from the cell phone."
According to the author, the news sent Bush "through the roof," prompting him to order his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority over every other threat to America.
However, it is worth noting that Bush failed to translate this policy into securing the U.S.-Mexico border through which the nuclear weapons and al-Qaida operatives are believed to have passed with the help of the MS-13 smugglers. He did, however, order the building of underground bunkers away from major metropolitan areas for use by federal government managers following an attack.
Bin Laden, according to Williams, has nearly unlimited funds to spend on his nuclear terrorism plan because he has remained in control of the Afghanistan-produced heroin industry. Poppy production has greatly increased even while U.S. troops are occupying the country, he writes. Al-Qaida has developed close relations with the Albanian Mafia, which assists in the smuggling and sale of heroin throughout Europe and the U.S.
Some of that money is used to pay off the notorious MS-13 street gang between $30,000 and $50,000 for each sleeper agent smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. The sleepers are also provided with phony identification, most often bogus matricula consular ID cards indistinguishable from Mexico's official ID, now accepted in the U.S. to open bank accounts and obtain driver's licenses.
According to Williams' sources, thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles in the coming "American Hiroshima" plan.
The problem is, if the terrorists do nuke an American city or cities some day, exactly where do we retaliate?
Boy and how. I sure picked up on that. Thanks. :) I'm acquainted with some who are impressed with little more than the sound of their own voice, or when the Internet is concerned, the sound of their own keys clicking away. Shame. But on the bright side, I have my first entry in my "users to not bother talking to". :) How long should I expect that list to become?
That article is chilling for sure. Even if it's improbable, just the possibility of it is enough to really scare me. I'm glad I live in a small town several hours drive away from a major city. It's such a different mindset we are fighting in the Islamo-fascist terrorists. I mean, had we gone to war with the Soviet Union at some point, so long as they kept it conventional, I would NEVER have agreed with a nuclear launch initiated by the U.S. or its allies. No one wins a nuclear exchange when both sides have them. China would be the same thing in my mind when the time comes that there is a war with communist China, which I believe will happen. So long as they don't launch on us first, America should keep the war non-nuclear. But with the Muslims. They just flat don't care. They could give a d**n about radiation. They could give a d**n about cancer or fall out, or ecological disasters, or the deaths of innocent woman or children, even if they're some of their own Muslim people. Where as America would never strike back at the Muslims by nuking a Muslim city with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians since there is no military target, the Muslims would his a major U.S. city with a nuke to kill millions of American woman and children and that IS their first choice, passing on many military targets because they're so fanatical and cowardly, they won't engage the military directly. It's a hard battle to fight. We are paying the price now for the opening of Pandora's Box in 1945, but thank God we opened it first. Now that the world knows the repercussions of using nuclear weapons, it appears that only the Muslims don't care. Even the Chinese would be unlikely to do that if there was full out war with the U.S., since even they know that just 50 ICBMs would end the existence of China as a country, and destroy any possible chance of the communist regime surviving. The Muslims are the only ones crazy enough to do that and not care. Talk about a "devil may care" attitude. The useful application of that phrase is ironic with the "devil" being mentioned in it also, since it’s regarding the Muslim terrorists. They are the devil on earth right now. First the nazi, then the soviets, now the Islamo-fascists. The sooner those among us **cough** liberals, realize that and get on board with saving freedom in the country and bringing it to ALL people, the better.
Well, I'd tend to agree but I am hoping that because of the amazing success the Bush Justice Department and NSA, CIA, FBI, military intelligence, etc. have had, we get a few more years, since it would take a liberal democrat President victor in 2009 **shudder** a year or two to dismantle all the good things Bush has done that have prevented another attack in the U.S.. I think it will happen eventually no matter what unless Islam ceases to exist and that won't happen. Eventually, nuclear technology will be so readily available and so cheap, it will be unstoppable and those who cannot win appeal at the ballot box, like the Islamo-fascist terrorists, will use nuclear weapons to take control by force that the masses will not give them freely. So I'm hoping for 10 to 20 years or more, but sadly, given the involuntary genetic stupidity of liberals, scantly over five years may must be more accurate. I am sure you'll understand when I say that I hope and pray that you are dead wrong. It's impossible to really comprehend the far reaching ramifications of a nuclear strike on American soil. I don't think liberals really think it could really happen and that's why they behave so naively towards the terrorists and treat Conservatives like they're a bigger danger to America than the terrorists. Ignorance and stupidity among liberals is as big a threat to this country as the terrorists are.
And thank God for it. What you said is one big thing that I am very hopeful for and encouraged by. To have adequate shielding that would evade remote radioactivity detection, it would no longer be "easily mobile". It would have to be fixed in a small car, boat, or plane, and take two or more people to move it by hand. Two VERY large strapping people. That kind of shielding is quite heavy. :)
While I doubt anyone at the NSA or CIA would confirm it, I feel confident that there are at least a couple satellites in orbit right now that are capable of detecting radioactivity from orbit, and that they spend a great deal of their time combing the areas in and around American cities, especially those nine on the list in the World Net Daily article, looking for possible nuclear weapons or materials. There are surely quite a few people in the intelligence industry on the ground that do the same thing, with portable equipment that detects it from a distance also. And you can bet ALL of them know all the places, military bases and depots, nuclear reactors, hospitals, etc., that radioactive materials should be, and they certainly know all the places it shouldn't be. God willing if there are any in the country, the terrorists haven't found a hospital they've managed to hide it in. That's doubtful though.
I heard that. :) The proverbial scum bag felon murderer who "bumped his head and fell down" while being placed gently into the clean squad car by friendly law enforcement officials. ;) Hehehe. Accidents do indeed happen. Like if there was raging fire that utterly destroyed a large city like Mecca or Medina or Damascus or Tehran, would there really be anyway to PROVE that it was started by a U.S. high power laser satellite in orbit, hypothetically of course, IF such a thing existed? Something to think about.
While I doubt anyone at the NSA or CIA would confirm it, I feel confident that there are at least a couple satellites in orbit right now that are capable of detecting radioactivity from orbit…
Hey thanks a lot. :) I appreciate the link.
Yep. Defecation occurs – even to terrorists.
Shhhhh. ;) Thank God for the Reagan defense build up in the 80s. That paid for them after all. I hope there are more than a few of them and that they are being used 24-7.
I heard there were enough.
And if it's not caught on camera, how can one really know what happened? Heehee. :)
Yep. Except for residual radiation the evidence is pretty much vaporized.
Hopefully "enough" is maybe 100. :) And I'd prefer that they're under the control of the military or the NSA. There are still so many liberal clinton posers hiding out in the CIA, like the State Department, I'd prefer that as much as possible is done through the Military Intelligence and the NSA.
I was just quoting from the article. I do not have an alternative source, sorry.
My money would be on NSA control.
Better the NSA at this point than the CIA, given what we've been hearing recently of the liberals still clinging to life in the CIA and using their authority to screw the administration and the war effort every chance they get. I haven't heard of there being that kind of mindset in the NSA. Hopefully the liberals there have been effectively weeded out the past few years. God willing the ones in CIA and State Department will be shown the door very soon. They should have been put to pasture years ago.
Welcome to FR from a fellow Texan. Your post was fine.
Hopefully.
Hey thanks. :) I was away for a while, sorry. Thanks for your greeting. :)
