The following are copys of e-mails that I've sent to my employees up North (I live in Florida now), and Jim Robinson...
"Re: What's goin' on...
To Jim Robinson | 10/19/2006 4:43:47 AM EDT sent
Howdy Jim. Barry/gonzo here. What follows is an e-mail that I sent to my troops up North at my Company in South Bend, Indiana. They're a bunch of rabid VRWC buffs, and they wanted my take on world events, after I had warned them to 'keep their powder dry'.
A few days later, I sent this to Jim:
BTW, Jim, those TU-142's are actually TU-95's, an upgraded version of the 142. A little stronger, but still a 'Bear'. My bad. I flagged you on a thread about them.
............Barry/gonzo I didn't want to post it as a thread on FR because, well, I think I'm close to being right, and 'loose lips and all...'."
Here goes, with some other observations afterwards:
To my employees and JimRob:

This link is part of a good look at the Enemies of the USA. There are active links on the thread that are also excellent, especially # 20.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU CLICK THE LINK, PLEASE:
I don't often write messages like this - in fact, not for 28 years as I remember, so here goes:
North Korea claims to have recently tested a nuclear bomb. This is highly unlikely, given all the intel that has been obtained, but they did explode something, on the order of about 800,000 pounds of TNT (tri-nitro-toluene), which is possible. Whether or not the little maniac running that Country has or can make a working A-Bomb in the future is irrelevant. North Korea is now under a virtual blockade of any shipments of any nuclear materials out of Korea, courtesy of the UN (the UN is a joke, but the votes are in, and Korean goods can and will be siezed on the high seas as necessary).
What is important is that they have already shipped a number of their possibly operational Big-Dong missles to Iran! Those missles in Iran can reach Israel, all of Europe, and much of Russia and Asia.
Now, I'm the only one here(at BAMAR) that can remember the Korean War as current events. China entered the Korean War on the side of the North (unofficially) when it appeared that the UN-Allied powers were about to defeat North Korea. China is now stuck with NK as their very-own bastard stepchild. I love the irony of it, because China doesn't want a nuke-enabled NK either, so they voted for blockade! So, for all intensive purposes, NK is no further problem.
Now, Iran: Iran is now making fissile material (stuff-that-goes-big-bang) for nuclear weapons, and will have enough material for their first A-Bomb before April, 2007, and possibly by December, 2006.
The guy in charge in Iran, who I call 'Amanutjob', is insane, and has often said, amongst other things, that he intends to destroy Israel, the United States, and anyone else that doesn't convert to Islam, and I believe he is sincere. He's crazy, but he's not kidding!
He also welcomes Armageddon, even and especially a nuclear one, and I believe him!
I think that he must be stopped, and that he will be stopped!
I hoped that our President Bush would be strong enough to give the order to destroy Irans' nuclear capability with conventional arms (and we have them in quantity), even if the USA had to go it alone. Logistically, Israel doesn't have the means, and is too far away to do it without using nukes, so it's up to the USA.
Middle-last week it was reported that Russia was activating quite a number of their old TU-142 Bear intercontinental bombers. These are relics of the Cold War, and wouldn't stand a chance going up against any defenses of the US, Britain, or even France (if France didn't surrender first). They can, however, carry and drop a huge bomb load over distance, and they were reliable. Therefore, I think Russia's in the coming fight on the side of 'the Good Guys'.
So, I said all that, to say this:
I think that sometime after the elections on November 7, (vote, dammit!) and before April, 2007, Irans' nuclear capabilities are going to be seriously attrited (we're gonna bomb the very-living-shit outa their facilities) using conventional weapons. We're also going to secure Irans' Southern oil facilities to protect them (Google - Maps of Iran), and also protect the Straits of Hormuz (see Maps...) by invading Iran from Iraq. (Gee, who would have thought that we'd already be in Iraq?)
When this starts (shit-hitting-the-fan), every so-called Mosque in the USA and in other Countries becomes a potential den of murderous zealots. Christians and Jews don't store weapons and explosives in their Churches and Synagogues, but Moslems do it all the time!!
It may be prudent to take steps to be able to protect ourselves before anything bad happens.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Neville Chamberlain (Google) was wrong, and about 90,000,000 souls subsequently perished.
I've read the Bible, both Testaments.
I've read the Koran (Quran), and it sucks!
Islam is not a religion - it is a cult of death.
I'm reading up on The Crusades now.(I think we're in one again, and this time, it's for keeps!)
I'll be happy to answer any questions. This is the longest letter I've ever written, and I can't even type!
Stay well, y'all, and hope to see you soon......................Barry
PS: And I thought the only nutbars I'd have to think about were these wierd Scientologists around
here..............B
End of e-mail.
To JimRob:
Additional info (and I don't want to dig too deep):
The USAF is presently working out of an Air Base in far Eastern Russia (Base name unknown), WITH the Russians. There was a ground collision accident there with a plane subsequently burning up. A USAF Tanker (KC-135 or KC-10) was involved. The story made page 99, and then went down the memory hole. I think we're arming the Russians with Smart Bombs, and possibly helping with mid-air re-fueling.
My personal opinion is that a three-pronged attack plan is being hatched:
#1)-The USA and Great Britain (and others) are in Iraq, and will commence Air and Ground ops against Iran as noted above. There may well be an amphibious incursion in the East (Google Maps of Iran).All conventional weaponry.
#2)-Israel will move North into Lebanon and finish-off Hizbolla (it made NO sense for them to stop last time), and will probably continue into Syria. The USA and Brits will probably lend Air cover as needed. All conventional weaponry.
#3)-Russia will probably be tasked with bombing the North Korean nuclear-bomb facilities, and maybe not the nuclear power plants - anybodys guess, but L'il Kim gets dead.
The Russians may help in Iran in the second wave of bombings as necessary, because those TU-142's are just too damned noisy. All conventional weaponry.
#4)-China will cooperate with all sides, but will stay out of the fight. Instead, I think they'll provide safe air passage and any intel they can. Theirs has become a peculiar form of Communism, and is actually transitioning into the biggest Capitalist Country in the World. They're not going to attack their largest market - the USA - and so, will become our new best friend.
#5)-After the initial destruction is completed, we'll probably call a time-out on the field, and ask the muzzies if they want to quit their evil ways, or would they like us to get serious with Nuclear Weapons?
#6)-It depends on their answer to #5!
Jim, when 9/11 happened, I knew in my gut that the muzzies (wogs) were going to NEED an object lesson in order to change their minds, just as the Germans and Japanese needed Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki to change theirs.
It is no accident that the USA is presently in Iraq, effectively splitting Syria and Iran, and positioned to take and hold the important parts of Iran.
I think that we know where all the Iraqi WMD's are buried in Syria, and that they're Chem and Bio weapons, that we'll burn later.
In my conversations with my troops (employees) up North, I've just cautioned them to be prepared for the possibility of some internal civil unrest here in the USA, started by Islamaniacs that are already here, in their mosques. It'll take some time for local Police to regain control.
Well, that's it so far, Jim! After the elections and before April, 2007! As I pick up more data, I'll add to this.
I know what Coast to Coast is. Definitely not a fan.
I did not and do not understand who you are comparing to Noory.
So are you saying that I am Noory?
There are leaks already published and are on FR already quoting the Baker, Gates Hamilton recommedations that will be made public tomorrow. Most of it has to do with horse trades.
It is pretty hard to horse trade with a religous fanatic who believes that if he dies killing you that he will end up with 72 virgins with the understanding that he may remove that description from the ladies' resume.
Maybe I saw that on Power Line
He never gave any indication that it was 'the Christian thing to do', but he did say it was the RIGHT thing to do, and I agree. The Middle East needs to be pulled kicking and screaming out of the attitudes of the 7th century, and having one modern, tolerant, nation of free people in the middle of all the others can certainly not hurt!
It is in our country's best interest that terrorism be rooted out. Sadaam, among his many other faults, was supporting terrorism. He may not have directed or paid the 9/11 bombers, but he was certainly supporting those who believed in the same things as the bombers.
You're missing a couple of Wildcards....
1-Poland is fast becoming the leader of the Eastern Bloc of the European Union, and it's influence is growing fast.
They have abandoned the old Soviet Military doctrines, and are moving to quality, mobility, survival, and cutting edge training for thier miltary.
The Eastern Bloc is the buffer between a radicalized Middle East, and Europe, while even the Romanians are beginning to emerge as solid US allies..
2-The Emirate States are the financial hub of the Middle East, and realize the Europeans would sell them out in a heartbeat to the Dictator/Mullah of the week in heartbeat.
The U.S. is heavily involved in these states, much of it under the Radar, and out of the media...

I agree that I overlooked all of that.
But I fail to see how they change the potential. Not that I am arguing the point, but that I need help understanding.
They will surely be allies.
And if you read about the Ottoman Empire and its attempt to over run Europe some 600 years ago, Poland was what stopped them.
But I think the point here is that we could prevent it from reaching that point by sticking in Iraq but that the suits and correct ties are taking over.
They remind me of insurance adjusters. Anyone can split a number by two. Not really a talent to brag about.

PART 2: The assassin's mace

Gotta give Kimiko gravity somehow. It's Sci-Fi, so invent it - use the Italian guy, Antonio Baldini. None of that centrifugal/centripital stuff.
Q-ship - flesh it out a little. I've read so much Sci-Fi in my life that I can't imagine a new idea, so borrow something, something that has a failure potential in it.
Al-Masood enter Israel with the ark of the covenant, recovered from Ethiopian Copts. You read about that too! Cool! Why not use it?!
As a rough outline, I say: "Why Not Write It?!"
Good luck with filling it out. Several others here on FR are damned good writers, and may give you some tips. Lessee: 'dead', 'Jeff Head', and 'Ironjack' are a few. When I think of the others, I'll flag you. Good Luck, Uriah_lost!..............FRegards

No, unspun, I hadn't read it before. Thank you very much for posting the link. I stored the article on my new whiz-bang, 260Gig, USB, portable hard-drive.(I got tired of losing data)
It sounds like my private rantings, though! I'll read more of Dan Simmons writings now. We think alike, but I can't write nearly as well. Something about being an engineer, I guess.
Stay well............FRegards
Excellent story! Required reading!
As in # 25, it must very soon become open-season on all things islam............FRegards
I suspect their religious beliefs are so maniacal and illogical that they are also, at bottom, quite fragile. But just like the similarly foolish Emperor-worship practiced by the Japanese, a massive enough blow to the basic beliefs might start to crack the foundations of their religious delusions.
I absolutely agree with making both Mecca AND Medina glow-in-the-dark, Sarge! But I only see it happenning after a thorough, conventional pounding from the air leaves the muzzies still defiant.
I hope President Bush is up to the job that needs doing, and to-hell with the politically-correct dimocRATS and their fellow-travelers.
Thanks for your service, MSgt. Stay well armed and safe............FRegards
Yes. I seriously doubt we'll ever get another vote that permits military action.
Just about any sub can sneak up on just about any surface ship anytime, no big deal. USN saying; two kinds of ships in the navy, targets and subs.
