Iran’s nuclear timetable … right now!
Worldnet Daily ^ | 6 Sep 2016 | Jerome Corsi

Posted on 09/08/2016 7:59:15 PM PDT by amorphous

NEW YORK – Amid the disclosure this week that the Obama administration has allowed Iran to continue secret efforts to enrich uranium and stockpile the heavy water needed to produce a plutonium nuclear weapon, a leading expert on the Iranian nuclear program remains concerned that Tehran could build a deliverable atomic bomb now.

“I believe Iran already has a nuclear weapons capability,” Clare Lopez, a former CIA career operations officer who serves as the vice president for research and analysis at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy and a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, told WND.

Lopez noted that five years ago the International Atomic Energy Agency published a report on Iran’s nuclear program that listed the various technical components in a nuclear weapon that Iran had under development.

“We know for a fact that Iran already has the nuclear-capable missiles, including nose cones configured to carry nuclear weapons,” she said. “We also know that the IAEA years ago reported that Iran was working on forming the hemispheres of a bomb, as well as experiments testing the explosive charges required to set off a nuclear reaction implosion sequence.”

In light of the North Korean test today, this recent by article, by Corsi, is even more relevant, given the collaboration between Iran (flush with billions in US cash) and North Korea.

I wonder if it’s possible that it was Iran’s test.

I wonder if our tax-dollars paid for it?

Our moronic Terrorist in Chief doesn’t realize he’ll be out of office (knock wood) in a few short months so won’t have a fully stocked bunker to hunker down in for years after a nuke is exploded on the east coast. He thinks he’s well on course in destroying America but he and his family will have the same fate, unless he has plans to move them very soon out of the country. Hate to tell him but if America gets nuked it’ll be WWIII and nowhere will be safe.

This website says 5.3 Richter equates to 90 kilotons of exploding TNT.

I found this, and it's based on previous estimates:

The earthquake caused by the 2016 nuclear test was 5.1 magnitude,[2][14] similar to the 5.1-magnitude earthquake that accompanied North Korea's previous 2013 nuclear test (which was estimated by South Korea to have a yield of 6–9 kilotons of TNT and Russian estimates of more than 7 kilotons of TNT).[15][16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_North_Korean_nuclear_test So if the 5.6 reading the USGS calculated stands, the yield should be well over 10 kilotons?

The elites have their fully stocked bunkers.

They don’t care what happens to the rest of us. Heck, they may actually looking forward to the world population being chopped in half by the blasts, fallout, and inevitable starvation which will follow.

allowing iran time to complete their nuclear program while providing funds to do it...

arming enemies of our country while funding their ability to do it.

and if you’re wondering... yes, this is HIGH TREASON against the people of the United States.

people use to get hung or shot for less

Well North Korea had what was it, 2, 3 failed tests? I guess it’s probably theirs. But suppose it could be Iran.

0bama seems to want to watch the world burn. What he fails to realize is that his family might be at ground zero, not just white people.

It’s worse than that. It puts the entire world at risk.
When an Iranian nuke or North Korean nuke goes off in a metropolis we have the past two administrations to blame. Still don’t know why Israel didn’t take out Iran’s nuclear facilities when Bush was in office. Hopefully Iran or the North Koreans don’t nuke something but I fear they are crazy enough too. It’s akin to Hitler getting nukes before US.

I don’t think it would matter to him. His hate is stronger than his love for his family.

5.6 equates to kilotons of energy per UCLA.

http://www.english.ucla.edu/all-faculty/335-kelly-kiloton-index-of-earthquake-moment-magnitudes

Not necessarily an actual yield though , I guess.

Agree. Unless Hitlery is elected, he will go down as the most despised president in the history of this nation. Provided there is anyone left to write a history.

Do the tables reflect the cubing of the force of an actual explosion? For example the table gives 90kt for 5.3 (which I believe is what they’re calling it now). That works out to 22.5kt. That’s going to be close to what the Russians calculated before, based on 5.1 figures from a previous test by NK this year. There are other factors, I guess, plus the usual margin or error. A respectable nuke by anyone’s standard, and capable of killing hundreds of thousands.

tax-dollarsTax dollars not tax-dollars. And anyway, the government doesn't spend tax dollars any more since they can get their own money by borrowing it.

I liked taxdollars, a lot, but the spell checker wouldn’t let me get away with that, and offered up tax-dollars instead, as a workaround, so I took it. ;)

It wasn't our government that spent the money, it's Iran that's spending 'cash' money Obama gave them - and a bunch of gold, by some reports.

Aha!

Yeah, If I'd just thought to divide the 5.3 magnitude by the power of the Sun, squared, then multiplying the remainder by the 5th dimension, and subtracting the differential equation based on the rotation of the earth, I would have gotten exactly 22.5kt, just like the tables said. ;)
