North Korea has nukes to prevent a US invasion. If it fell and Korea were united as a US puppet, China and Russia would feel menaced —  unless Korea became truly neutral.  But why would the US Deep State risk WWIII for a neutral Korea? They want to add North Korea to the Jewmerican empire.

America’s Top Scientists Confirm: U.S. Goal Now Is to Conquer Russia. “Disarming Enemies with a Surprise Nuclear First Strike”

By Eric Zuesse


Global Research, May 04, 2017
https://www.globalresearch.ca/americas-top-scientists-confirm-u-s-goal-now-is-to-conquer-russia-disarming-enemies-with-a-surprise-nuclear-first-strike/5588524

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists published a study, on 1 March 2017, which opened as follows:

“The US nuclear forces modernization program has been portrayed to the public as an effort to ensure the reliability and safety of warheads in the US nuclear arsenal, rather than to enhance their military capabilities. In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile arsenal. This increase in capability is astonishing ” boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three ” and it creates exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by 

disarming enemies with a surprise first strike.” 

It continues:

Because the innovations in the super-fuze appear, to the non-technical eye, to be minor, policymakers outside of the US government (and probably inside the government as well) have completely missed its revolutionary impact on military capabilities and its important implications for global security.

This study was co-authored by America’s top three scientists specializing in analysis of weaponry and especially of the geostrategic balance between nations: Hans Kristensen, Matthew McKinzie, and Theodore Postol. Their report continues:

This vast increase in US nuclear targeting capability, which has largely been concealed from the general public, has serious implications for strategic stability and perceptions of US nuclear strategy and intentions.

Russian planners will almost surely see the advance in fuzing capability as empowering an increasingly feasible US preemptive nuclear strike capability ” a capability that would require Russia to undertake countermeasures that would further increase the already dangerously high readiness of Russian nuclear forces.

Tense nuclear postures based on worst-case planning assumptions already pose the possibility of a nuclear response to false warning of attack. The new kill capability created by super-fuzing increases the tension and the risk that US or Russian nuclear forces will be used in response to early warning of an attack ” even when an attack has not occurred.

The authors explain why an accidental start of World War III or global annihilation would be more likely from Russia than from the U.S.: 

Russia does not have a functioning space-based infrared early warning system but relies primarily on ground-based early warning radars to detect a US missile attack. Since these radars cannot see over the horizon, Russia has less than half as much early-warning time as the United States. (The United States has about 30 minutes, Russia 15 minutes or less.)

In other words: whereas Trump would have about 30 minutes to determine whether Putin had launched a blitz-first-strike attack, Putin would have less than 15 minutes to determine whether Trump had.

And if, at the end of that period, on either side, there is no certainty that no blitz-first-strike attack had been launched by the other, then that person would be obligated to launch a blitz attack against the other.

It would be upon the assumption that not to do so would result not only in a toxic planet with nuclear winter and universal starvation, but also in a humiliating and scandalous absence of retaliation against that perpetrator, which would be a humiliation on top of an annihilation, and thus a sharing of blame along with the actual perpetrator.

This sharing, for whatever term might remain during that passive party’s continued existence, would probably be an unbearable shame and result quickly in suicide, if that national leader’s own surviving countrymen don’t execute him before he kills himself.

Inevitably, the strictly personal morality and self-image of a nation’s leader in that type of situation are factors other than the very public global consequences that will determine the person’s decision; but, with only (at most) 15 minutes to decide on the Russian side, and 30 minutes to decide on the American side, there is an inestimably

high chance now, that a nuclear war will terminate the lives of everyone who currently exists

and who doesn’t soon die from the ordinary causes before then. Even the most dire projections of the dangers from global warming come nowhere close to matching that danger.

The question, now, then, is: How did the world come to this extraordinarily ominous stage? 

The co-authors repeatedly refer to the secretiveness at the top of the American government as one essential source, such as ” ¦ which has largely been concealed from the general public ¦” and ” ¦ policymakers outside of the US government (and probably inside the government as well) have completely missed ¦,” and these passages refer to an ordinary phenomenon in conspiracies at the top of a large criminal operation such as corporate criminality, where only a very small circle of individuals, commonly a half-dozen or even less, are made aware of the operation’s chief strategic objective and of the main tactical means that are being put into place so as to execute the plan.

In this particular instance, it wouldn’t include the head of every Cabinet department, nor anything nearly so broad as that; but, clearly, since the key decision, to implement the “super-fuze” on “all warheads deployed on US ballistic missile submarines” was made by Obama, he is the principal person reasonably to be blamed for this situation.

However, Trump as the person who has inherited this situation from his predecessor has, as yet, given no indication at all of reversing and eliminating the now-operative top U.S. strategic objective of conquering Russia. 

The more time that passes without Trump’s announcing to the public that he has inherited this morally repulsive operation from his predecessor and is removing all of the super-fuses, the more that Trump himself is taking ownership of Obama’s plan.

Typically, in such a situation, the leader who has inherited such a plan will be assassinated if he gives any clear indication of an intention to reverse or cancel it. (The key insiders are typically obsessive about ˜success’, especially at so late a stage in it.) And so if Trump were to try to do that, he would almost certainly try to hide that fact until the inherited plan has already become effectively deactivated and no longer a threat.

The key turning-point that led up to the present crisis was the gradual and increasing acceptance, on the American side, of the concept of using nuclear weapons for conquest instead of only for deterrence.

The prior system, for deterrence, had been called “MAD” for Mutually Assured Destruction, the idea that if the two nuclear superpowers were to go to war against each other, then the entire world would be destroyed so catastrophically as to make any idea of a ˜winner’ and a ˜loser’ in such a conflict a grotesque distortion of the reality.

JdN: The 1983 ABC TV movie “The Day After” is a docudrama containing a lot of accurate information.

.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yif-5cKg1Yo

That reality is mutual annihilation and an unlivable planet.

A landmark event in the process of reconceptualizing such a war as being ˜winnable’, was the publication in 2006 of two articles in the two most prestigious journals of international relations, Foreign Affairs and International Security, both formally introducing the concept of “Nuclear Primacy” or the (alleged) desirability for the U.S. to plan a nuclear conquest of Russia.

Until those two articles (both of which were co-authored by the same two authors), any such idea was considered wacky, but since then it has instead been mainstream. As the final link above (the article that’s linked-to immediately before) explains, the source even prior to George W. Bush goes all the way back to 24 February 1990 when his father, then also the U.S. President, secretly initiated the operation ultimately to conquer Russia, and within that article are links to the ultimate source-documents about that origin of the path toward world-ending nuclear war; so, getting to the original causes of the steady progression after 24 February 1990 in the direction of a conquest of Russia by the U.S. (assisted by its allies) can now be addressed by historians, even though only now is it finally being revealed to the public as news, though 27 years after it had actually begun in a very fateful decision by George Herbert Walker Bush, which has already cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars for no good purpose and resulting perhaps in the ghastliest ultimate end.

This article is being submitted for publication to all news-media without charge, in the hope that the current U.S. President will comment publicly upon it, even if only to ridicule it so as to avoid being assassinated for referring to it at all. This is an extremely dangerous time in history, and Donald Trump is now on a very hot seat, which any intelligent and accurately informed person recognizes to be the case.

If ever the world needed courageous, great leadership, now is the time; because, without that, we might all soon be entering hell.

To avoid it, starting now 27 years after the U.S. government initiated this path, would be enormously difficult, but not yet totally impossible. This is where we are at the present time; and, ever since the coup in Ukraine in 2014, the purchases of ˜nuclear-proof’ bunkers have been soaring as a result. 

This extreme danger is the new global reality. If the elimination of the threat does not come from the U.S. White House, the culmination of the threat will ” regardless of which side strikes first.

The decision ” either to invade Russia, or else to cancel and condemn America’s decade-plus preparation to do so ” can be made only by the U.S. President.

If [Trump] remains silent about the matter, then Putin can reasonably proceed on the assumption that he’ll have to be the one to strike first.

He didn’t place himself in that position; the U.S. regime did. Let’s hope that the U.S. will stand down the threat, now.

The Government’s Plan To Survive Nuclear War Doesn’t Include You: “There Won’t Be Enough Bulldozers To Scrape The Bodies Off The Street”

Once again this week, the United States teetered a little closer towards war with the Russians. On Sunday, the US military shot down a Syrian jet that was allegedly targeting US backed forces. The Russians have since claimed that the aircraft was engaging ISIS, and have revealed that their air defense systems will now track any of our aircraft that happen to fly over Western Syria. They also suspended a hotline between the US and Russia that was in place to prevent mid-air collisions over the crowded skies of Syria.

Russian S-400 missiles in Syria

Amid incidents like this, you have to wonder what our government is thinking. For most Americans, Syria must seem inconsequential. Why is our military involved in a country, where we are brushing shoulders with a nuclear armed nation? If it’s to fight ISIS, then we could easily sit back and let Russian and Syrian forces wipe them out. If it’s to affect regime change, then clearly our government hasn’t learned anything from Iraq or Afghanistan. Why are we risking a war with the Russians just to influence the outcome of a regional civil war that has little bearing on the daily lives of most Americans?

The answer to that question could probably fill a novel, but there is one reason that the elites in Washington will never admit to. They can afford to make careless decisions because they are insulated from the results. If there is a war with Russia, which could easily turn into a nuclear war, they’ll have plenty of spacious bunkers to hide out in while the rest of America burns. And that’s been our government’s plan in regards to nuclear war since the beginning of the Cold War.

That’s the main takeaway from a new book called Raven Rock: The Story of the US Government’s Plan to Save Itself. Our government has spent decades building sprawling bunkers, like Raven Rock, that high ranking officials can flee to in the event of a nuclear war.

***

Wiki on RavenRock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_Rock_Mountain_Complex

Raven Rock  has multiple entrances (“portals”).

This analysis of a US-Russian war agrees with the Van Rensburg prophecy: Russia would be almost totally destroyed, but the US would become a minor country for decades, focused only on survival and rebuilding.  .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLrKDAn1x8

***

The idea for Raven Rock was to have a military base that would function as an alternative to the Pentagon and would be dug out of a mountain and deep enough to survive any Russian attack.

A site was chosen six miles from Camp David, the Presidential retreat in Maryland, and work began in 1951 on the $17 million project

Some 300 men worked round the clock in three shifts to carve a 3,100ft tunnel out of the granite; engineers invented technology as they went along including blast doors and blast valves.

Inside the facility there was 100,000sq/ft of office space in five parallel caverns big enough to hold a three story building in each.

The entire facility could fit 1,400 people and was placed on giant springs to reduce the impact of a blast.

Via Daily Mail

Meanwhile, as they were building these bunkers and trying to convince Americans that nuclear war could be easily survivable, behind the scenes they knew it would be a bloodbath for civilians.

At the end of the 1950s, the FCDA created ˜Battleground USA’, a grim 120-page report on how cities should manage civil defense operations in the event of an attack.

It said that the area should be divided into ˜mortuary zones’ with ˜collection teams’ in charge of identifying bodies.

Post Office mail trucks would ferry the wounded to one of 900 improvised hospitals set up near attack sites in places like federal prisons.

In Kansas officials planned to confiscate household vitamins for use by the general population.

Planners estimated they could assemble two million pounds of food after an attack from their own reserves and from stores.

They could also could find 11 million ˜man-days’ of food in the forests and plains in rabbit meat, 10 million ˜man-days of wild birds and five million ˜man-days’ of fish. Most chillingly they budgeted nearly 20 million ˜man-days’ of meat in residential pets.

It was disturbing reading and a view of the world that summed up by Eisenhower in one meeting: ˜The destruction might be such that we might ultimately have to go back to bows and arrows’

During another meeting Eisenhower admitted that nation didn’t have ˜enough bulldozers to scrape the bodies off the street’ in the event of a nuclear strike’.

And as we all know, our government didn’t take many measures to protect civilians from the potential carnage that would be inflicted by a nuclear war. They didn’t build many bunkers for the rest of us.

At first glance that may sound like an impossible task, but it’s not. Take Switzerland for instance. Despite not having any nuclear weapons, they’ve built enough fallout shelters to house every Swiss citizen. You might say that we could never afford that many shelters, but it’s not a question of cost. Switzerland’s GDP per capita is similar to America’s.

The truth of the matter, is that our leaders don’t give a damn about what happens to American civilians. As long as they have their bunkers, they feel safe while antagonizing nuclear armed nations like Russia. They know that if there’s a war, they’ll survive while the rest of us burn and starve.

Make no mistake, if there’s ever a war with Russia, you’ll be on your own. Whether or not you survive depends entirely on your willingness and ability to prepare now.

  1. This post is right in stating that today’s ( I think normal, not elite) us military would be unable to face off a resolute north korean military.

    I have read that they wear Pampers (a brand of diapers), so they only are good at “shooting fish in a tank”, that is, bombarding from safe heights, shooting from safe distances with depleted uranium munition, killing with drones from far away places like Ramstein base in Germany, and other such “heroic” deeds.

    There also seems to be internal problems with homosexuality and perversions lile pedophilia.

    If they don’t correct this, they won’t have true soldiers, because perversion, cruelty, and cowardice often go hand in hand.

    Then, a nuclear option becomes attractive because of cruelty and cowardice.

    • Hmmm, it is pretty hard for me to get my hopes up again for Trump.

      I heard NPR (liberal) speculating that Mueller was indicting the Demoncratic Podestas just to take away a talking point from Trump that Mueller was out to get him because he was a populist Republican.

      The possible problem with Trump is the same as with Woodrow Wilson — a guy with good ideas and intentions but an ovvious narcissist who would do anything to become and then also STAY president — his dream in life. These big-ego guys just “get off” on hearing “Hail to the Chief!” when they enter a room and flying in Air Force One.

      Obviously, a man addicted to power and fame does not want to be impeached.

      So,l as I have blogged, via adultery blackmail Wilson ended up a nightmare. We entered WWI in 1917 (Trump bombed Syria exactly to the day 100 years after Wilson declared war on Germany), and this idiocy set the stage for a world disaster.

  2. These two articles bolster the theory in the above Tomato Bubble article that the NSA, or at least the “white-hat” parts of it, may be waging a secret cyber/information war against Israel and its Zionist backers in the U.S. Don’t forget that in 1967, Israel deliberately attacked and tried to sink the NSA spy ship USS Liberty, killing 37 American sailors in the process.

    A mysterious group called the “Shadow Brokers” has stolen all of the NSA’s cyber weapons, and has been leaking them to the public slowly, for no apparent reason. To me, it sounds like a nation state (Israel) is blackmailing the NSA, and by extension, the U.S. government: “Do what we have been telling you to do through back channels (attack Iran), or we will release more NSA secrets.”

    https://sputniknews.com/us/201711131059039075-us-cybersecurity-ranks-vacant/

    https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/shadow-brokers/527778/

    In the above Atlantic article, these lines, speculating who the “Shadow Brokers” might be, almost made me laugh:

    “That leaves a nation state. Whoever got this information years before and is leaking it now has to be both capable of hacking the NSA and willing to publish it all. Countries like Israel and France are capable, but would never publish, because they wouldn’t want to incur the wrath of the U.S.”

    LOL. No, our wonderful “ally” Israel would NEVER do anything to make the U.S. angry. Tell that to the 37 dead American sailors from the USS Liberty, or the 3000 Americans killed on 9/11 by Israel and its Zionist comrades infesting the U.S government. That Atlantic article was written by a Jewish cyber security expert named Bruce Schneier, so that explains it:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Schneier

    http://www.jewishbiography.com/biographies/jewish-american-computer-scientists/bruce-schneier.html

    Israel has a cyber hacking capability which is more advanced than the NSA’s, and Israel was behind the hacking of Nicolas Sarkozy’s and Angela Merkel’s phones in 2012:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2477013/Was-ISRAEL-hacking-millions-French-phones-NOT-U-S–Extraordinary-twist-spying-saga-revealed.html

    World War II was won by the All-Lies because Britain and the U.S. had cracked all of the German and Japanese codes, and were reading all of their top-secret messages. They knew all of Germany’s troop movements in advance, which they also supplied to the Soviet Union. So, it doesn’t bode well for the United States’ future that the Zionist gangster state of Israel has hacked the NSA. Of course, the Jewsmedia will blame it all on Russia, though.
