LinkedInWhile everyone's been worrying about Iran's nuclear program, another quiet nuclear axis has been forming, and again, it's one of the world's four largest armaments exporters that is behind the proliferation. I've written here many times about the New York Times book, The Nuclear Axis, detailing a very covert cooperation between the then West Germany, South Africa, and Israel, for the acquisition of nuclear weapons. I have also pointed out here the hidden corporate hands in Germany connected to France's thermonuclear strategic submarine ballistic missile capability. Now there's this: Israel … [Read more...]
THE NEW ARMS RACE: LASERS
March 22, 2012 By
DARPA is at it again folks (or, really, do they ever quit?). According to this article, the USA is set to acquire a new prototype laser weapons system, capable of being fit onto a flatbed truck, for operational defense against aircraft, missiles, even mortar rounds: DARPA Unveils Drone-Slaying War Laser One notable thing about this article however, and that is its insistence that atmospheric distortion limits the operationally effective range of lasers, and that, of course, is true. This was indeed one of the primary public criticisms of President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense … [Read more...]
GENERAL DEMPSEY ON IRAN
March 21, 2012 By
As you know, I've been following the war of nerves and words between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program. Well, I found this article assessing Iran's nuclear program, courtesy of Iranian media in fact, reporting something that did not make big news in the Amerikan media: US Gen. Dempsey: Iran rational actor, not after nukes Well, we've been treated to all sorts of allegations regarding the Iranian regime, from plots against the Saudi ambassador, to warnings of Zbgnw Brzznsk that Israel might want to think twice before acting against Iran unilaterally, to plots of … [Read more...]
ZBGNW BRZZNSK WARNS ISRAEL
March 15, 2012 By
You've probably noticed that I have no love lost for Zbgnw Brzzsk, you know, the former Carter Administration National Security Advisor who has precious few vowels in his otherwise un-pronouncable name. He's the guy that gave us such naked exercises in elitist onanism as Between Two Ages and The Grand Chessboard. Into this stage-dressing, we must enter the recent Israeli notification to the imperial U.S. of Amerika that it would not warn this nation of any unilateral action it undertook against Iran and its "terrifying" nuclear program. Well, much as the words gag in my throat and the … [Read more...]

NOT SO MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF IRANIAN SCIENTISTS
February 2, 2012 By
The recent assasination of a young Iranian scientist, allegedly involved in that nation's nuclear program, has been only the tip of a nasty iceberg. The Daily Telegraph in the UK - or as my friends and I from my Oxford days used to call it, The Daily Torygraph - has run an interesting article compiling list of names of dead or missing Iranian scientists since 2007: Iran nuclear scientist dead: mysterious recent deaths and disappearances According to the Telegraph article, a total of five Iranian scientists are dead as the result of deliberate murder. In a previous blog, I raised the … [Read more...]
A LOOK BACK: HANNAH AHRENDT, THE CREATION OF ISRAEL, AND THE APOCALYPSE THEATER, PT 2
January 8, 2012 By
Enter Hannah Ahrendt once again: "If a Jewish commonwealth is obtained in the near future--with or without partition--it will be due to the political influence of American Jews.... But if the Jewish commonwealth is proclaimed against the will of the Arabs and without the support of the Mediterranean peoples, not only financial help but political support will be necessary for a long time to come. And that may turn out to be very troublesome indeed for Jews in this country [the U.S.], who after all have no power to direct the political destinies of the Near East. It may eventually be far more … [Read more...]
A LOOK BACK: HANNAH AHRENDT, THE CREATION OF ISRAEL, AND THE APOCALYPSE THEATER, PT 1
January 7, 2012 By
As we enter the so-called year of the apocalypse, and a day after Dr. deHart and I released our first short ebook, Yahweh, the Two-Faced God: Theology, Terrorism, and Topology, it is good every now and then to look back and take stock. As the Second World War was entering its last, apocalyptic spasms, the pressure and drive for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine grew, as the extent of Nazi atrocities against Jews and other groups became increasingly clear to the Allied armies advancing into Europe. The outcry and pressure for the creation of this state became well-nigh a dogma … [Read more...]

APOCALYPSE THEATER: A NEW MISSILE POWER EMERGES: ISRAEL
November 23, 2011 By
Here's one for the history books... and it's from those ever-so-reliable journalists at Komsomolskaya Pravda: Israel launches new missile that can reach New York and Tokyo Here, for once, I am inclined to trust Pravda since the article is based on other sources, but it is interesting that it was Pravda that connected the dots in an unusual way, namely, by pointing out (1) the missile, in service since 2008, has a reputed range of being able to strike targets such as New York and Tokyo (and ergo, India, China, and most of Russia); (2) It is capable of carrying a 750 kiloton warhead … [Read more...]
