I live here, and not a word about this in the local fishwrap.
I saw a report on FOX news just a little while ago.
They can’t print this stuff, People panic, that’s a fact.
San Diego would clean out like a flushed toilet.
saw this last week......the guy hesitation when answering pegged my AHA! meter..
Copy the video links and send them to your Senators and Congressman and demand a response as to what they’re doing about this. Or, call them 24/7 and make the same request. We can’t depend on the media to tell We The People the truth.
I sent the links to over 100 friends and asked them to remove email addresses and to forward it to their address list with the request to pass it on.
If YouTubes can be seen by millions in two days, we can surely pass the truth around and not depend on the Liberal MSM.
If one goes off I suggest Nuking Mecca right away.
And one more to the those unemployment numbers.
I wouldn’t get too excited about this. Remember that WMD is a Soviet expression, meaning “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. But this was defined as meaning “something that could kill a lot of people”, specifically, nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.
Most every country in the world is covered with things that could *potentially* be used as WMDs. A broad assortment of commercial chemicals, any hospital’s pathology lab, used radiological equipment, and much, much more, could be seen as *possibly* being used as weapons.
But a big question is how dirty they are, how effectively they could be used, how hard they are to clean up, and how many people they might hurt.
For example, in past there has been a lot of excitement about the disease anthrax. Practically, about every square foot of soil in the plains States has anthrax in it, from more than a thousand years of buffalo roaming over it. Durable stuff, it can last that long.
However, unless you eat a lot of grass, it is unlikely you will ever get it. Even then, few cows ever do.
Dirty bombs? Basically nuclear material tied to a hunk of explosives that vaporizes it.
Well, the trouble is that long-lived, durable radioactive isotopes are quite heavy. Heavier than lead. So if you blow them up in the air, they come right down in a small area. The lighter isotopes usually don’t last long after they are made, usually under a week or two, and then they decay and are no longer a threat. And finding one with a neutral buoyancy, that would neither go straight up or straight down, is not easy.
The few that might work, like radioactive cesium, are very, very tightly monitored around the world, and very difficult to obtain.
So, all told, just regular routine inspections are enough to keep out any serious efforts.
For example, the time a collector tried to import a functional SCUD missile into the US:

Put this in Breaking News.
Everybody else has, so far.....
Don’t forget to stock up on potassium iodide.
