1.) Tragically, horrifyingly, but quite predictably, it’s going to happen. The only question being which American city or cities?
In a recent conversation with a former high level intelligence operative of our government, I raised the possibility of terrorists successfully detonating a nuclear weapon within the United States. His response was sobering in its hopelessness.
First, he stressed how grateful he was that he did not work in Washington, DC, and that his family lived far enough out to survive the coming nuclear blast. When I pressed him as to why he was so sure that Islamic terrorists – with or without the help of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez – would eventually hit DC or another American city with a nuclear weapon, his anger boiled out.
He pointed the finger squarely at our politicians and our politically correct, left-leaning media, who, in his opinion, have “sealed our fate.” He spoke of politicians from both sides of the aisle who consider border security nothing more than a cheap tool to be used for their reelection and enrichment. He despaired about a media that not only gleefully leaks our nation’s most trusted secrets for partisan gain, but then willingly acts as a propaganda tool for the very terrorists intent on our total destruction.
He warned of the hundreds of “loose nukes” floating around our planet. He patiently explained that the former Soviet Union (no matter what they or our government claim), can’t account for a number of their nuclear warheads. That North Korea may well have a few they are willing to sell to terrorists to prop up their totalitarian regime. That Pakistan – already a nuclear power – may soon fall victim to the Islamic extremists trying to overthrow that government. Of an Iran further ahead in their development of nuclear weapons than thought. And last, but not least, he spoke of the thousands of cruise missiles unaccounted for around the world. A number of those missiles being nuclear tipped.
In short, because of what he portrayed as a “betrayal by those sworn to protect us,” a nuclear attack within our nation, in his mind, is “inevitable.”
2.) When said attack comes, you and your family are on your own. Period. My friend stressed that “our government won’t be there to help us. It is broken beyond repair and incapable of assisting those most affected by the blast.”
He talked of critical infrastructures like water, electricity, fuel, banks, our food supply, medical services, police and firefighters, being unavailable for weeks or months. He warned of the blind panic that would follow such an explosion. Of the looting, of neighbor turning on neighbor to take what they don’t have for their own survival. Of our economy suffering an economic loss in the trillions of dollars.
Knowing this, are you prepared? Can you and your family ride out the frighteningly unpredictable weeks or months following the loss of an American city and its inhabitants? If you are not in the city hit, can you survive?
You must ask yourself this question. For, unless there is a miraculous epiphany about to be visited upon our self-centered politicians, then such an attack is certain.
If our politicians and the voters continue to suicidally put party and partisan politics before the welfare and security of our nation, then the terrorists will find the opening to hit us.
Our government and media are failing us. Prepare for the worst.
No, first the MSM would announce that the nuclear blast was not terrorist related. It’s just the first thing they’d do.
I think they would acknowlege its terrorism and then give us 50 reasons why we had it coming. Problem is, more than half the population would be so out of its mind with shock, fear, and cowardice that they’d buy it—at first. It would take several of them before we sufficiently flushed the moral cholestorol out of our system that we could take action. It may well require the summary execution of collaborators, dupes, and defeatists here at home. And the only possible outcome would be a response so massive that we wouldn’t stop until every single Islamist was dead. Think a conflict on the scale of WWII with modern weapons.
You are correct.
They’d say we had it coming.
Probably didn’t walk across the border.
A tiny fraction of the containers were checked for such for a very long time. Probably even now it’s still a minority of the containers are checked.
Then there are personal or mini-sized subs . . .
Shoot, even a good sized van would do, IIRC.
..Please back up your “clueless” statement....
Don’t hold your breath. Apparently he knows more than you, or others who held positions like yours.
Why not be out warning people?
Except that TWA 800 wasn't a terror attack.
That's the problem. The MSM (and some govt officials) treat any action that resembles a terror attack in any way as if it's just an isolated criminal incident or an accident. This practice feeds into conspiracy theories and makes it difficult to tell real attacks from non-attacks.
The scary part would be the government shooting armed citizens that are either mob crazy looters or those looking to protect their homes, everyone will be shooting at each other but not at the terrorists laughing on another continent.
First blood has to be drawn by our side period.

All worth it if they take out all of the Congress creatures in the process.
Its time for a fresh start.
You get it. Critical infrastructure. The rest is just bragging rights.
Thanks, Kas,
It’s coming soon to a town near all of us.
Glad for the article.
