A commercial produced by an organization fighting for the freedom of Iran that depicts a nuclear terror attack in America – the kind many experts believe is possible should Tehran get the bomb – will run in 20 markets across the country this month.
Titled "An Atomic 9-11: When Evil is Appeased," the spot, sponsored by the Iran Freedom Foundation, is based on a scenario described in the new WND Books release "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," by Jerome R. Corsi, co-author of the best-selling "Unfit for Command."
The ad can be viewed on the IFF website.
Corsi believes an atomic 9-11 is an imminent threat once a terrorist state like Iran has the capability to develop nuclear weapons.
"The major technical problems that have kept terrorists from exploding improvised nuclear devices within American cities are solved once a terrorist regime like the Islamic Republic of Iran has the capability to manufacture a nuclear weapon and deliver it in containers to a major U.S. port," he said.
"The device can be picked up by sleeper terrorist cells, assembled and driven into the heart of the city, where it can be detonated at the height of an ordinary business day."
The resulting destruction from a successful atomic 9-11 attack on a major U.S. city like New York would be enormous.
"In the blink of an eye, the United States could be reduced to second-class economic status," Corsi said.
The scenario described in "Atomic Iran" shows that a 150-kiloton IND exploded in New York would reduce much of the city to rubble. Some 1.5 million people would be killed instantly, with another 1.5 million certain to die over the next few days.
The television ad will air for 13 days four times daily in each city. The markets include cities in Maine, Mississippi, Texas, Oregon, California, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, South Carolina, Alabama, Indiana, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington, Florida, and Washington, D.C.
That isn't actually the case. The Iran Freedom Foundation is run by a board of directors. Jerry Corsi is the lead spokesman for the organization, but he isn't on the board.
Thanks, I stand corrected.
If you think the U.S. military would launch a nuclear strike without Presidential authorization, under any circumstances, then you've been watching too many bad 50's doomsday movies...
Thanks for the Freedom ping.
Once again, I have to repeat that the regime of Tehran will never be removed by nuclear talks and embargos.
The US and free world should press the Mullahs on Human Rights Issues more than Nuke issues. This is the only way that we can seek their demise.
But it doesn't have to leave the loading dock. It just needs to be in the harbor.
"video toooo tiny to see.. I personally don't believe the Pentagon would wait for a Presidential OK, they'd deliver payback within seconds.
and for everyone out there - contrary to public belief, almost every ship container coming to the US is XRed before unloading in the US - this was starting BEFORE 9/11 - the gov't doesn't want us to know about it because they don't want us to think Big Brother is out there, but He is. I know this because I worked in a law firm that represented 1 of 2 companies that are doing this.
A semi truck pulls up to the harbor, latches onto a container, takes pics and soon gives an OK or a negative."
Shipping containers are a big deal but a private vessel could just as easily be used and that scares me more.
