What We Know.  

Fordow has become 'Iran's most heavily fortified facility', officials say. AP

Reza Kahlili reported Friday 25 that there had been an underground explosion at the secret Fordo nuclear enrichment facility in Iran.  The details included the closure of a major roadway nearby following the event.  The report also mentioned many technicians trapped underground, perhaps more than 200.   Reza Kahlili and I then discussed the report earlier in the week of an emergency meeting in Ahmadinejad's office in Tehran.  We reported on Wednesday evening 23 January that the meeting in Tehran was in anticipation of a covert operation by Israel or the US at Iranian nuke facilities.  But then on Friday we reasoned that perhaps the meeting on Tuesday was to assess the damage of the explosion.  We spoke at length at approximately 18:40 of the Friday 25 January podcast.  

What Happened Next.  

A number of European and Israeli publications reported on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 that Reza Kahlili had reported a Fordo explosion.  The most significant of these reports was the Die Welt report on Saturday.  I am told that Die Welt is associated with intelligence, and it is fair to assume that the entry is a confirmation.  Then again, the London Times reported in its Monday 28 edition the same explosion.  This report mentioned the Israeli government as well as "Israeli intelligence."  I am told that the London Times is associated with significant intelligence sources.  How to interpret these reports?  The intelligence analysts have moved collaboratively in order to confirm Reza Kahlili's report.  

All Eyes Only.

I did my homework. I both in Google Maps as well as Google Earth went to the precise spot the known seismic event occurred. It was located at 10KM below the surface, some 150 miles due south of where the plant is claimed to exist.
All you have to do is call up say Google Earth and go to the lat and lon of that event to see it is deep in the mountain chain, no connecting roads or dwelling of any form, remote mountain terrain.
I'll leave it go at that.

Now that is along the lines of my original thinking. If the IAEA inspectors, provide a definative report as to the condition of that facility grossly changing from what it was originally, then so be it.
But how the hell are they or anyone else going to go down to the site if it is closed off by cave ins along the route from the surface.
Whatever. I do hope it turns out to be all true. And I most certainly have not meant to brow beat any Freeper on this.

On a side note. Perhaps over the next few days you may want to find time to donate approx 1.5 hours to what I have been watching as I type....
CSPAN General Stan McCrystal at Brookings. Some interesting things he brings out starting with the Iraqi invasion and how Intel and SECOPS worked in al Anbar etc., here.
After listening to the final part of the General's stay at Brookings I'm hitting the rack, so Ernie, do have a great upcoming day.

Muslims are proof of the Indian observation that “The Monkey’s reach exceeds its grasp.”

Those suffering the results of genetic deficiencies accumulated of over 1,400 years of incest are ill advised to start making bellicose threats to those dwelling in the deep end of the IQ pool.

But - such has been the history of MadMo’s followers.

If all those centrifuges were spun up and full of UF₆, then even a minor shockwave could have caused serious chaos. Yet, there are reports that several levels of the underground facility may have collapsed.

If there has been major collapse, the Iranians should forget rescue. (Forget radioactivity in the short term; Uranium hexafluorde is nasty stuff, chemically.) Those trapped people (including the visiting Norks) underground are already dead or doomed.

Iran should be busting their humps bringing in cement trucks to seal off as much of the radioactive contamination as possible -- and hope that there is no place a critical mass can accumulate.

“There won’t be no Chilian rescue for those poor bastages. Still,I suppose that’s why they got paid the big bucks eh,well and virgins,can’t forget that.”

Just like in North Korea, I suspect at least some of them were held against their will or under threat to their families.

It’s partially why I stayed out of the nuclear industry. Particularly the defense sector. While interesting to me, the pay is not enough to have that big of a target on your back.

Nowadays, I’d be more afraid of our own government than the Norks or Persians. If the US was under a serious “threat”, all such people would probably be detained “for their own safety”. Those skills make them worth more than gold...

Carney will announce that the explosion that didn’t happen was caused by a nasty Islamophobic video

Here's what is reported to be a satellite image taken after the explosion:

I'm working on posting the original article...

[TXnMA]

I have just finished doing an overlay of this image over the latest view available on Google Earth. I will be posting images from that analysis -- along with the source article for the above image soon,

If the above image is authentic, the "fallout stain" appears to be associated with the northern pair of tunnel entrances, and may me most closely associated with the northernmost entrance of the four.

Well, any wasp smart enough to have three stings should know that! :o)

Cement trucks will only result in more tons of radio active debris to dispose of; the Russians found that out at Chernoble. The concrete decomposes quickly under those conditions.

It was prophecied that Ishmael would be “a braying ass of a man.”

Will check back later.

A new thread with image analysis has been posted HERE...

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Ernest_at_the_Beach. Fordo has a better idea.

[SierraWasp]

Yep! A lotta good thangs come in threes!!!

[SierraWasp]

Hey! I like that biblical reference!!! (almost like “the jaw bone of an ass” which of course wasn’t prophetic at all)

[editor-surveyor]

Hey, I wasn’t talking about your jaw...

[SierraWasp]

Ha ha ha, you been waitin a couple of years to throw that puny little dart, haven’tcha? Touche!!!

[editor-surveyor]

You left the door wide open :o)
