Navy launches second [Nuclear SLBM] test missile off Southern California coast

The U.S. Navy said it launched a second -- and final -- missile in a planned exercise Monday afternoon from a submarine off the Southern California coast.

The second test launch of the Trident II (D5) missile from a ballistic submarine in the Pacific Ocean took place Monday afternoon, the Navy said. The blast-off took place to far less fanfare than Saturday night's launch, which provoked residents from San Francisco to Mexico to take to social media, posting photos of an eerie-looking bluish-green plume smeared above the Pacific...

Is there any doubt that Obama plays mind games on citizens? His primary concern is not dominance over foreign powers. His goal is to weaken U.S. sovereignty and erode American's sense of independence in preparation for the New Marxist Muslim World Order. I think this exercise is part in a series of cryptic effects ultimately aimed at bringing that about.

While I agree with you, I don't think our run of the mill examples of citizenry will get it.

I know it was funny. I like “Pipe down rubadub” by Moe Szyslak. But it was also an admonishment. When we know scare tactics like this are part of the process toward the left’s end game it’s our responsibility to sound off.

We are in “Art Bell” territory or George Nohri— late late night whacko radio. Along the lines of chem-trails.
Paranoids do not need help— they are usually high enough.

Well ... all right then. :)

The Trident II D5 missile test shots have been a regular event since the 1980s. Boats come home from patrol. They launch a missile. Same for the C4 missile in earlier years.
I’m not sure about test locations. Or whether recent shots are somehow a message to China.

We keep trying to send messages to China about American resolve. Unfortunately, we still have the same, old, spineless weenie in the White House.

Like we would nuke our bank and manufacturing center aka China........

[Eleutheria5]

Can’t they aim? San Diego is over thataway.

The Russians are warned about the launches. It goes back to the Ballistic Missile Launch Notification Treaty back in 1988. The telemetry is also shared as part of the NEW START Treaty. A time window is provided along with the areas of launch. This is also covered in NOTAMS and warnings to mariners for the closure areas. The Russian also have a launch notification treaty with China.The Russians will likely launch Bulava SLBMs either tomorrow or over the weekend. The closure areas have been public knowledge for the last week. Looks like launch from the White Sea/Barents see through to Kamchatka.

Thank you. Very thorough. Is there a civilian notification system in place like MSM? None of us seemed to know what was happening.

[Tommyjo]

No problem. More than likely if there is another test launch at night there will be a press release. I’m surprised that the MSM defence journalists didn’t pick up on the closure areas and NOTAMs that were public knowledge?

The Russians have just launched two of their Bulava SLBMs as per the closure areas made public.

‘The Russian strategic submarine, the Vladimir Monomakh, has carried out a double Bulava ballistic missile test launch from a submerged position in the White Sea, successfully hitting two targets in the Kamchatka region in Russias Far East.

Salvo firing from a submerged position was made in accordance with the plan of combat training. The parameters trajectory of two ICBM ‘Bulava’ worked normally. As confirmed by objective monitoring, the missile warheads successfully arrived at the Kura test site in Kamchatka, the Defense Ministrys press service reported.’
