Ok,look i'm not going to say you're a moron for
following your leader that you probably voted
for.But keep in mind that 1: a nuclear device
that would be manufactured in Iraq w/ the
technology they have available would be
roughly the size of an RV(caravan for you
blokes) so it wouldn't fit in a shipping
container.2.it would be an extremely low yield
weopon that would have a 100% destruction
radius of only a mile or so.3.it would be easily
detectable from sat recon the second the
thing was built no matter how deep it was
stashed..4.Iraq has no delivery vehicle for
such a weapon and really stand no chance of
getting one.Think about it no Third World
infrastructure can sustain the type of
development program and obtain the exotic
materials needed to develop such
weapons.5.It would be a rifle type weapon
which uses a projectile to split the initial atom
causing said chain reaction.6.The level of
refinement needed to sustain even a 1 kiloton
weapon would be impossible w/o a serious
reactor.7.All of that shit would glow from sat
recon and aerial recon like a christmas
tree.Now let's think about this in order to be
athreat to the US it would have to be able to
generate enough velocity to create an orbit
that would be of a higher quality than what the
russians and chinese have because the
geographic location using the best technology
available today either requires a Sub
launched platform or a shot over the pole.Now
the very best delivery vehicle iraq posses is
the SCUD B.Absolute shite.Couldn't lift the
weapon off it's launcher at all.The closest any
'rogue" nation has to this is the No Dong 3
stage rocket that N.Korea and iran
share(Shehab 3)Now in modern nuclear
warfare you would have to have a MIRV
warhead to do the business.Only
China,russia,France,The US,and GB have
these systems.Contrary to popular belief we
have defense measures in place to deal w/ a
single warhead threat.Now the only real
possible threat to US interests from an iraqi
nuke would be to Israel9i'm not sure how that
is considered US interest w/o the holocaust/
guilt factor coming into play.So really the only
true threat to the US directly from iraq would
be a bio/chemical weapon delivered in a well
enclosed area.It's not like iraq are going to fly
Mig 29s w/ the dispersion equipment over a
US city.As far as israel goes they already
announced this summer that they have an
ICBM capability.The only problem is no
MIRV.The very same detection equipment the
UN inspectors use to find these threats are
flying around and ship based and sat based
w/ a million times the sensitivity and would
spot any incoming threat from Iraq well before
it got here.I mean come on you think you can
just smuggle that kind of hot material into a
country like the US.Well you might
say,millions of tons of cocaine and lesser
amounts of heroin are smuggled in each
year.Well for one,it's not just some
unorganized crime syndicate bringing in
drugs to the US.Think about all the heroin and
cocaine that is on our streets right now.I
suggest you check out the swap program that
the forest service did a couple years back for
old tanker aircraft for "decommissioned" C-
130 aircraft.Look at the companies that are
"contractors" for these aircraft and then do the
math on how many are in service vs. how
many were swapped.Not trying to sound like a
conspiracy theorist here because there are
alot of kooks out there spouting off all sorts of
crap.But if you do some simple research into
the CIA and Air America and follow the trail
from vietnam on up to today you will find alot of
"retired" faces that have had convictions for all
sorts of bad stuff.Now if you really want to test
this out,ALL aircraft that sit on tarmacs at
airports are gassed up and ready to go.If you
know how to fly one go take one load up in a
thirdworld country and just try to get back in w/
o an AWACS dispatching an "escort" for
you.I'm so sick and tired of people taking what
they read and watch on TV as gospel.Now I'm
not saying that America is the most evil
country on the planet but to just listen to a guy
who can't even pronounce the word nuclear
tell you that he made a good case about
something he knows nothing about then you
aren't even bothering to get a second
unsanctioned opinion.Think of it like this.if it
were so easy to deliver a rudimentary low
yield nuke then pakistan and India would be a
memory.As far as black market nukes go think
about it.Have you ever heard of a russian or
former Combloc mafioso doing an up and up
deal.No they sell unrefined uranium to idiots
and fanatics that hav no clue as to how to
implement this stuff.As far as bio war and
other lovely pathogens go,just look at the
anthrax attacks as an example of how hard it
is to disperse w/ effectiveness.You would
have to have the capability to mill the weapon
to so few microns that the gear needed is very
custom and very secret.Look at the disaster in
the former soviet union as an example of how
few people would die w/ the real deal w/o a
proper dispersion mechanism.NBC warfare
isn't as simple as having a few pressure
cookers and milling machines of a
commercial variety to make an effective
weapon.Not to mention you have to have the
right atmospheric conditions and population
density to make such an attack as bio or
chemical.Do you really think that if it were so
easy to mount an effective attack that cave boy
would have used commercial aircraft to attack
us.No.Look as far as oil goes and power,don't
think for a second that just because to you
and me someone w/ billions in assets is
satisfied.Iraq because of it's geographic
location is a major stumbling block in the
caspian sea pipeline.just like Afghanistan
was the final key to the Unocal pipeline from
the baltic.Now that we've set up the
beginnings(provided our puppet govt. can
hold on to power) of the link through
Afghanistan it opens up former COMBLOC
oilfields for us.Look at what happened in
venezuela w/ Hugo chavez and the failed
coup.We were quick to embrace it until it was
quelled and there is only one reason
why.They are the second largest OPEC
producer in the world.Now if you feel that we
need to suck the world dry of it's oil in the
name of progress,that's your right.But
considering the real progress made in
Hydrogen fuel cell technology,the money we
spend on political manipulation could very
easily end our need for foreign and even
domestic petro products.Frankly
speaking,what we are witnessing is the last
great land rush on our planet.All for the
pockets of a select few.We have an
incarcaration rate that rivals any ever forced
upon a modern civilization in the US.We also
have a handful of texans,and Arkansaniacs
that have run our country for the past several
decades.Now do you honestly think that if
what the raygunomics/truman world we live in
is a true democracy.look at what is going on
around you.So here's a guy w/ a .223 caliber
rifle who killed 9 people in our capital and that
is the justification for using domestic flight
surveillence.look at the polls that are online
when you sign on to your browser,they ask
such questions about eroding civil liberties so
that they can convince enough of a minority
that good people shouldn't have a problem w/
gun registration and ballistic tests from the
factory.Now picture this,we are going along
with a proghram that is setting up the
mechanism for a police state like none ever
imagined.Sure the next few decades could
resemble what our
parent's,grandparent's,and so on called
freedom.look at things like the rave act.It's just
hard for me to stomach the indoctrination of
America's youth that has been going
on.Freedom of press and expression?Well
think about this.Before plastic hemp was our
mainstay for oh so many things like the sails
that brought our ancestors over to this place in
search of refuge from the very things that are
going on today.Look at our attorney general
and how he can't even have his picture taken
in the DOJ because there are breasts
showing.Neo-Classical sculpture for christ
sake.Capitalism is great isn't it.have you
looked at how much of our labor has been
shipped over to cheaper countries so that we
can consume the latest greatest twist on a
theme.We have engineered food so that w/o
certain fertalizers and nutrients that they are
predisposed to require won't even produce
enough to feed us.Look at our water
supplies,they have been filled up w/ PCBs
and Heavy Metals,Exotic micro-organisms that
didn't even exist years before.Then look at
how we've been told we're bad people if we
don't chose a god and stick by that.Wow 3
houses of Abraham used against us as an
excuse to keep the truth from us that we are
all living beings in control of our own
destiny.We've been told that the other books
are against our own and that we must defend
it even if it means sacrificing our very
existance.When the truth is that we are much
too complex to control w/o a core belief
system based on so called morals and "care'
for the 'souls' of those that have strayed from
the flock.Look if you're around 30 yrs old go
find a high school senior and ask them what
the statue venus is about.they will tell you it's
agoddess from greek mythology.Not a
classical roman sculpture glorifying the
beauty of feminity,Even in the south i was
taught that abraham lincoln freed the slaves
even though white farmers would work black
people to a frazzle of who they really are.look
at how ghettos are controlled through drugs
and violence and money=power.Man food and
thought are power not the latest benz g Class
rental in the new big tymers video.Or the rental
jewelry that perpetuates the greed and
betrayal that runs rampant in ghettos in
search of the fat whips,the most hos,and the g
thug lifestyle as a fad.Come on this country
has too many skeletons in it's own closet to
be pushing around some guy w/ a low yield
nuke that a mac truck could barely
position.Look at how we buy a new computer
because we need it to take advantage of the
latest technology that comes the closest to
simulating real hardware.It's as if dance
production has become more of a video game
than an artform.Don't get me wrong,our
country in it's diversity is a beautiful place,but
we are all being sold(and buying it)mass
consumerism on every level.Look at how
some of us complain about how it was easier
to make good music before we could go buy
all the sounds we heard on the last fatboy
slim/goldie/bassment jaxx songs.look at how
we were taught to say no to drugs and had
cops come to our schools telling us that our
parents need help and to call the government
if we smell this or see that.Look at how alot of
us go through years of confusion in our own
sexuality because we've been sold the natural
is evil bit by the people who care about us.The
fact of the matter is we are being divided into
enough small groups that we are more easily
controlled and no matter how sensible our
arguments may be we must not question
those that have our "best interests" at
heart.Well I think that we as humans are a
reactionary organism and somehow our
natural gifts from the universe will triumph
over the true evil that try and make us out to be
that which we are not.No matter how they try
this great thing we have here called
technology holds the key to our future as a
loving kind world.Now we may have to destroy
those that chose to destroy us in the same
fashion that baby Bush wants to do to a man
in a culture that he doesn't understand.To say
that the Iraqis will surrender to the techno
force w/o a fight is the most assinine
argument i've ever heard in my life.The
romens tried it w/ the germanic tribes and
were slaughtered in place.The Spartans got
there's.The Soviet machine was run out of
autonomous regions as soon as their
weakness was exposed.The Austro
hungarian empire,The british Empire,The
Japanese Asian/Pacific Land grab,The Viking
raiders,The Spanish Conquistadors,all
suffered the fate of countless empires.Now
must we go down that same path hand in
hand w/ our flag waving bomb dropping
patriotism?I think not.Because my
friends,brothers,and sisters,we have the
ability to communicate with each other
through sound,picture,and words the very
things which make us unique and so worth
saving.Sure security is important but isn't
freedom and unity more so when all we have
to do is understand for once what the vicious
cycle of human domination is all about.I bleed
just like you,i love just like you,I cry just like
you,therefore I and I are the same.All of us
have the ability to fall into the traps that we
chose,I mean come on some of you know
how screwed up i got and what the end result
was.But you know what i'm not afraid to say
any longer that I have love for my friends and
those that I thought were my enemies when
all it was was an illusion/dillusion.I've learned
a great thing from myexperience on DT and
that is how even when we have the worst of
times in our little e-community this is really
and truly the best family i could ever hope to
have and I only want us all to find that which
we are seeking.Be it material
success,love,art,even just comrades in
technology.Because we are something
special and I think most of us know this yet we
let minor quibbles ruffle our feathers.Now I
know for a reformed thug that this all sounds
kind of sappy but i'm tired of watching the
division that is forced upon us by our puppet
masters and have finally realized that
this,even though we are a global
community,we can retain the very things that
make us unique and learn a little bit of
something from each other that we can carry
w/ us until our demise.For all of you that know
what you think you know of me I do want to say
that you guys have been a big help in getting
my sanity back from the bowells of
excess,and i love you cats for it.What we have
is absolutely the coolest little spot on the web
because we've been and are going through it
but we still have this place to escape the
crumbling towers of babylon as we spin off
into an alternate universe.So Big Upz to the
DT crew old,new,and future.I love you folks
and as long as i walk or roll around this planet
i'll do anything i can to help anyone
anytime.word is born.
