shush 's it's top secret... nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq0.html

I really think mommy should have stopped them from playing with matches when they were little and that is the reason we have such a horrible weapon the bomb... I think ..if I were stopped from doing that I wouldn't know anything about explosives
my mommy also let me have my 'ground bloom flowers' every July 4th the British don't know how to read a calender so they celebrate July 4 on November 5th

You know fireworks are so much more difficult than all high explosives even thermonuclear ones..took me 20 years to feel like I can be as good as then Japanese but still like 10 shells where I have no idea how they did them

High explosives, nuclear explosions is just some school boy math and science but according to Dr. Shining fireworks are the art science and technique... maybe in another 20 years ill finally master fireworks

people are so easily scared by the things they don't understand. The whole nuclear thing has made millions for Hollywood and the Japanese film industry, now it funds countless watchdog groups, all in fear of a power source that has in its entire history harmed us and our environment less than coal, less than hydro, less than fossil fuel, less than any other viable source of such a huge amount of potential energy. Solar and wind are clean and safe but far from ever reaching the potential nuclear offers. We could have energy so cheap to produce that metering it isn't worth the cost and we get it basically free. Really. There is a town in Idaho that already has.

With all of the fear, nuclear energy and it's waste have become both the third rail of political races (touch it and you die) and the stuff that terrorist dreams are made of. Thats a bad combination.

I am afraid that in this environment of misunderstanding and misinformation a small explosive device placed in a barrel of low level hospital generated radioactive waste would create at least a quiet neighborhood with very cheap housing and not much to really be concerned about (unless living in Denver or flying above the cloud layer a lot constitutes a radioactive threat in your mind) and at worst world war 3.

I fear another 911, but only because I fear the reaction of scared humans more than any other force on earth.

Guy Fawkes would approve of your dragging, brothers. :hilarious:

On a serious note, I don't understand the point of those fears very much.

I hear from people where terrorist attacks are a reality practically daily, and whenever I was in the areas of them, fear of the hypotheticals was the least pressing concern on my mind, fears of the concrete were, readiness was.

Figures I'll keep a level of vigilance as necessary but some things there really isn't much I can do with it, and by buying to whichever propaganda is flying around this week I'd be helping no one.

Staying calm's good for jack. Staying informed & minding & as safe as possible by decision matter more.

@Cashew

Ditto.

I don't fear any of this stuff. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen regardless of what I do.

And if we fear, they win.

They aren't going to "win" when it comes to me.

 

[joeylittle]

Agree strongly, @Cashew.

I always have a slight inner sigh when I hear Americans get too far into the fears about repeating 9/11. I do not mean it judgmentally. The US hadn't registered what it was to experience terrorism at such a scale, and in such a powerfully weaponized way. So, yes, it was a transformational event for this country - a country that had not yet experienced living with terrorism at home. Other nations had been through this, some in ongoing ways, for years. Decades.

I'm not saying that it was not horrible, or significant, or even global. Only that we had been holding onto a certain amount of young-nation superpower naiveté, long after pretty much the rest of the world had already experienced such acts of violence.

I don't think we need to be afraid of another 9/11. I think there is plenty in the world to be watchful of, and informed about - and other countries in more constant danger than our own. But I also tend to think that WWIII started awhile ago, it's just a different kind of world war, and one that history will eventually know how to understand and put into brackets, but it's too big and unwieldy to see the whole picture of it, yet.

You realize that July 4th is Independence day for AMERICA, right?

I also fear another 9/11 or worse. The recent terror attacks shows that we (as well as many countries) have war already on their own soil. But this is why I dont watch national news, I would worry myself to death

ISIS is just a spin off of Al Qaeda and Obama got such a "high five" for sending Seal Team 6 to kill Bin Laden which did what exactly? He pulled out too early and too fast and my dad, oddly, was for that and I remember telling him that they are going to reform and look at what happened; ISIS happened.

I cant watch national news though because it causes worry, anxiety, etc. But since my dad is glued to Fox News all day while Im at work, he will generally give me a run down including things I dont care to hear.

Should keep up on things but shouldnt dwell on it. Would 9/11 happen again or something simular happen? Possiblly but it doesnt help to worry yourself to death over it. It was '01...its now 15 yrs later and yes terrorist attacks have happened but to hijack a plane or what happened its almost impossible with the now security at airports.

If Obama stops doing executive order that might help, he pushed the order to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon...lets not give the country above where ISIS is a nuclear weapon; or any of the middle east where we were fighting.

Like or dislike Obama but he needs to stop pushing shit through executive order! There is a reason for checks and balances here!

We need to send 10'000 troops to each of the top countries where ISIS is and they will be gone but Obama wont. Add some Seals, Recons, Green Berets & Rangers, & Combat Control Team and they will be gone before anyone knew.

And we need to tighten our borders, badly! There's many things we need to do for our saftey and Obama refuses to so ISIS is here and radicalizing people but its not as much as it was to begin with. So to worry is not gonna help anything but to worry.

I focus on keeping myself safe and voting for whom I feel will keep us safe along with jobs, economy etc.

Anyway, theres my 10 cents! :p

 

[EveHarrington]

I think @Ed Norton was joking around---

 

[user27357]

education is the answer. Instead of bombing and killing we should be opening the borders to anyone that wants to come here on a student visa and return home to teach. Not to be indoctrinated with what many think is our national religion and sent home to preach, but welcomed and shown the american free life where religion and art and media and music and kite flying are all OK, then shown the door and sent home to let the people of whereveristan know that there is more to life than religious zeal and mindless, blind, allegiance to a leader of any kind, alive or dead.

Like it or not, and some of you won't like it, the major driver for all of this violence is an organised religion of some kind or another. Always remember and never forget, the largest standing army to ever cross a border with violence on their minds and a bible in their pocket was the third reich. It doesn't really matter what side of what line of distinction between religions you think you stand on, a good well rounded education will help you and them guys over on the other side to see that the line is kind of silly and needs to be a thing of the past.

until we can all agree on that, another violent act is inevitable, 9/11 level or worse, it is as assured as sunrise.

The house of Saud (who's fiefdom Saudi Arabia is, and who have a long standing historical pact of mutual support with the Wahabi school of radical Islam...)
have just anounced that they will throw their "national" holdings of US treasury bonds onto the market if American (state sector) courts are allowed to even consider whether there might be a Saudi angle to 9/11 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-...date-its-treasury-holdings-if-congress-passes

There are at least three reprehensible angles to that:

First, the house of saud "do'th protest too much, me thinks". what do you think?

Second, yeah, liquidating all the family's US treasuries would likely mean that in future the fe'ral reserve would have to create even more new money out of thin air, to buy all US treasuries. That new "money" would transfer wealth from productive people and activities to the parasitic state sector by invisibly taxing anyone who owns dollars - by diluting their purchasing power at an even faster rate than at present. The good side is, it would hasten the end of paper money (which always tends towards an equilibrium exchange value close to its price of production - zero).

Thirdly, WTF have people who live in the area called america, allowed the gang of crooks who call themselves "leaders" sufficient slack to;
a)claim a monopoly on money production, b) use that monopoly to produce ever lower quality money (starting with gold and silver they've now debased it to. completely un backed and soon to be worthless paper) and c) run up such massive and vulnerable debts in other people's name, and leave those other people on the hook for them.
