Warming The Bench
An international smuggling ring may have secretly shared blueprints for an advanced nuclear weapon with Iran, North Korea and other rogue countries, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
“May have”? They don’t know? Of course they know.
The now-defunct ring led by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan is previously known to have sold bomb-related parts to Libya, Iran and North Korea. A draft report by former top U.N. arms inspector David Albright says the smugglers also acquired designs for building a more sophisticated compact nuclear device that could be fitted on a type of ballistic missile used by Iran and other developing countries, according to the Post.
The drawings were discovered in 2006 on computers owned by Swiss businessmen; they were recently destroyed by the Swiss government under the supervision of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency to keep them out of terrorists’ hands. But U.N. officials said they couldn’t rule out that the material already had been shared.
“These advanced nuclear weapons designs may have long ago been sold off to some of the most treacherous regimes in the world,” Albright wrote in the draft report, which was expected to be published later this week, the Post reported.
This Pakistani nuclear scientist and top Pakistan government official was selling off nuclear bomb parts and design plans to all comers and the Pakistan government was raking in the dough from it. “May have shared”. Really. Sow the seeds of doubt to give us a false sense of security. Very nice. Meanwhile Iran is refining weapons grade plutonium to make these bombs which will be stuck at the ends of their already operational missiles, and when they have enough of them, they’ll use them.
You know, this is a lot like the days when Hitler and Tojo were building their war machines and the rest of us happy little freedom lovers were sitting there with our thumbs up our butts watching them. It was only after we were attacked that we finally took action, even though all our allies were getting the hell beat out of them. The next time around the attack is going to be nuclear unless we get off our thumbs and take action now.
We don’t want to be the first to use nukes. So we will wait until they’re used on us, and THEN we’ll use them. Knowing full well that the attack is coming, we will not make the pre-emptive strike that could prevent a full-blown world war. We didn’t do it last time and we won’t do it this time. Last time many millions of people all over the world died. This time it will be a hundred times more who will die. You know it. I know it. We all know it. We’re just waiting for it.

It is a dangerous game we seem to be playing but I believe we will strike any nation that threatens us with nuclear weapons.

Off topic as usual, but have you seen this? Certainly seems to confirm what you were saying a few items back.

You’ll probably label this as OT, but since we talk about war, and this article clearly shows the usual precursors, I thought you might be interested.

For the benefit of xoggoth, the following may be of interest.
The vote in the lords on the lisbon treaty was loaded. Certain lords members broke their laws in failing to declare an interest, -
Certain lords were in fact EU pensioners, and failed to declare their interest and excuse themselves, or abstain, from the vote. The reason is that EU pensions are perhaps unique in that holders can lose them if they fail to uphold the EU’s interests or bring the EU into disrepute.
12 noble EU pensioners have between them played a leading role in the proceedings.
Former members of the European Parliament, - Lord Dykes, Lord Inglewood, Lord Harrison and Lord Teverson, the noble Baroness, Lady Quin, Lord Tomlinson.
ex-Commissioners and ex-Commission employees are, Lord Brittan, Lord Clinton-Davis, Lord Kinnock, Lord Patten of Barnes, Lord Richard and Lord Tugendhat.
If one is in receipt of a pension that one can lose, it must influence the way in which one thinks and speaks.
Like all matters surrounding corruption and self interest, one should always follow the money.
So, you get the picture.
First come the EUSSR bribes, ummm, pensions.
Then comes the debate.
Then the paid for vote!
Where is democracy?, in the face of a gravy-train of this magnitude of corruption.
All is in Hansard if you care to check!
There will be civil war in this country if this totally corrupt body politic persists in ignoring the wishes of the electorate, - and don’t bother giving me the crap about how many support EUSSR . you know it is lies, as well as I do. Every poll taken…….Yougov, or whomever!
At least the Irish voted democratically, and now the EUSSR is to fund an in-depth inquiry into what went wrong!
Nothing went wrong, you stupid bastards at sprout-town, - what happened was democracy, - something you wouldn’t recognise if it jumped up and bit you on the bollocks. (if you have any).

There it is, Jordon. I had to up the restriction on links as I was getting too much spam. However, the page you linked to has been yanked. It’s gone to Byte City.

That is strange.
I can’t open the link via your blog site, but it is still OK from the Market Oracle Home Page!
So here we go.
Go to Market Oracle Home Page,
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/
and tab the titles down to :-
“Failed States 2008: Mexico and California/” […]
It should open from there.
Happy reading! (smile)
