IRAN ACCUSES SIEMENS OF SABOTAGING ITS NUCLEAR EQUIPMENT

If you've been following the ongoing nuclear soap opera regarding Iran's nuclear program, then maybe you missed this one: Iran Accuses German Siemens Of Sabotaging Its Nuclear Plant As Turkey Sends Heavy Weapons To Syria Border Now, I've been maintaining for many many years that Germany is one of those "crypto-nuclear" powers, and indeed, have posted a number of articles here about their capabilities. Siemens is one of those companies that was heavily involved in Germany's postwar nuclear industry. Zero Hedge's conclusions here are, in my opinion, entirely correct: "...after Stuxnet … [Read more...]

TIDBIT: GERMANY UPGRADING US NUCLEAR WEAPONS …. UHM….HUH!?!?

US DISMANTLING THE LAST OF THE BIG CITY BUSTERS

In case you missed it, the USA is dismantling the last of its big city/region-busting thermonuclear bombs, the B53: US\'s most powerful nuclear bomb being dismantled Note that figure: 600 times more powerful than the Little Boy uranium shotgun bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, a mere atomic popgun with a paltry yield of 15-17 kilotons. The B53 would come in at around 9000 kilotons, or a whopping 9 megatons, not quite the notorious yield of the runaway Castle Bravo test, and a long way from the gigantic 57 megatons of the Soviet Union's Tsar bomba, tested in 1961 at Novaya Zemlya, but still … [Read more...]
