NUCLEAR WAR-FEAR Author says prepare for nuclear terror Former official: Not trying to cause panic, but prevent it
U.S. officials should get serious about nuclear terrorism by urging Americans to prepare for disaster by stockpiling food, water, building shelters and planning evacuation routes, says an author and former member of the Indiana House of Representatives.
In response to reports al-Qaida is planning an "American Hiroshima" nuclear attack on the U.S. using weapons and operative already smuggled into the country, Don Boys, author of Islam: America's Trojan Horse, says he is not trying to panic the public.
"In a few days or weeks, everyone who has not prepared for disaster will panic," he says. "I would like for you to realize that you may have already waited too long to properly prepare, and if you wait much longer, it will be too late to buy gold, guns, and groceries. ... The name of the game will be survival, only survival. Forget the job since it will be gone. Your Social Security or pension check? Don't count on it. Protection from local authorities? Probably not. You will be on your own."
Boys bases his advice on the words of U.S. officials – from President Bush to Vice President Dick Cheney to the directors of the FBI and Homeland Security – who have said nuclear terrorism is the greatest threat facing the nation and a virtual inevitability at some point.
"If U.S. officials are wrong and there is no danger from terrorists ... then breathe a sigh of relief, thank God for His mercy and continue with your life," he says. "However, if you are wrong (and U.S. officials are right), you and your family will be cold, hungry, and dependent on others to provide for your basic needs. Is it wise to take such an unnecessary risk?"
Boys suggests Americans purchase non-electric tools, guns, ammunition, food and toilet paper. He says it would be wise to set aside small bills as well as quarters.
"A few boxes of No-Rad (potassium iodide anti-radiation tablets) will be more valuable than gold if you are in a contaminated area," he says. "Get a supply today."
WND has reported that captured al-Qaida leaders and documents outline plans for a devastating terrorist nuclear attack on the U.S. – plans that have been under way for more than a decade. The reports are confirmed by author Paul Williams in his upcoming book, "The Al Qaeda Connection."
Intelligence analysts and sources disagree on the details of the way bin Laden's "American Hiroshima" plan unfolds. Some G2 Bulletin sources emphasize bin Laden's commitment to re-enacting the 1945 attack on Japan with one nuclear detonation, followed by another days later.
Williams, however, sees a much more devastating, coordinated, all-out, surprise attack coming.
"The next attack, according to al-Qaida defectors and informants, will take place simultaneously at various sites throughout the country," he writes. "Designated targets include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Houston, Las Vegas, and Valdez, Alaska, where the tankers are filled with oil from the Trans-Alaska pipeline. To orchestrate such an incredible event requires not only the shipment of the nukes into the United States but also the establishment of cells, the training of sleeper agents, the selection of sites, and the preparation of the weapons without detection from federal, state or local law enforcement officials. Unlike 9-11, that cost less than $350,000, this event already has cost a king's ransom, and bin Laden will not waste the billions in expenditures, the years of planning and his coveted 'crown jewels' on an attack that is ill-planned, poorly timed and carelessly coordinated."
Other sources interpret some of the same information, based on captured al-Qaida operatives and documents as well as defectors, differently. They project an escalating series of attacks, each followed by blackmail demands upon the U.S. government and the American people.
Is there any possibility this WOULDN'T happen?
But suppose the devices were sold or went missing when the Soviet Union broke up? We celebrated their liberation from communism then, so do we now blame them for a device falling into the terrorists hands? It was a complete breakdown of their systems and checks and balances including the storage of said nuclear devices.
We won't. There are so many idiots, many on this board in fact, that would rather die than admit they were wrong about who we let into this country. I do not need to use the names of the typical idiots who we all know and have had the wonderful opportunity to debate.
The no rad site is not working, all operators are busy too, something is definitely going down.
The red zones will survive.
BUMP
A dirty bomb would be very disruptive and much easier to actually pull off. A Beslan type take over of a school or something to that effect using simple firearms is the most likely scenario.
While I think it is important to have respect for your enemy, I think this nuke deal is blown way out of proportion. How much do you know about nuclear weapons? I know I don't know sh*t. However, the people that I have listened to, who are knowledgeable, are very skeptical of terrorists being able to bring nukes into and detonating them in this country. IMO it would take skills equating to a Western SpecOP group to conduct such a feat. I have seen nothing of terrorist operations that equate to such skill.
The 9/11 attacks took a lot of luck on the terrorists' part and a special kind of incompetence on the US's part, a legacy of eight years of Clintonian neglect.
Terrorists do not have the same soft target today that they had in 2001. Moreover, much of the top terrorist leadership, the corporate knowledge behind 9/11, has been killed or captured. The remainder is surely finding it hard to plan and execute grand attacks on the level of a 9/11 or greater when it is spending much of its time running hiding from US special ops by shuttling between a series of caves and safe houses in the rugged far reaches of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Doom and gloomers tend to wildly exaggerate the al Qaeda's resources and abilities and to underestimate our own. On balance though, I would rather that we be hypervigilent.
That type of thing would would probably get people more up in arms than a nuclear blast.
The bottom line is that we should get all these people out here immediately, no excuses, no bs, no protracted hearings. If they are here illegally, OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
We are in 100% agreement on your thoughts regarding the sites mentioned. Their pain will be so much worse than ours that Islam will be dealt a horrible and deserved blow.
the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Actually, you know what might be an interesting exercise would be to count and publicize the number of mosques that would be destroyed by an attack of this type. Also the approximate number of Korans that might be destroyed in each mosque. Of course, you can do a count of the actual muslims that would die, but since they'd be chalked up as martyrs, not much disincentive there. But harm a mosque or a copy of the Koran and they tend to actually give a damn.
Huh. I just now clicked it and got right through. Must have been timing. Anyway, do a google search, as many, MANY companies carry both of these brands. Also check http://www.ki4u.com for a lot of detailed information.
They just keep popping in my head. Its truly astonishing to consider that anybody would prefer a John Kerry to a John Wayne or Rosie the Riviter to Rosie O'Donnell.
The Feminiaztion of our society needs to end now. Boys need to look up to REAL MEN, not these sissy panzie patsie wimpy girlish primped idiots like Kerry, Kennedy, Dean, Timberlake, etc etc.
Give me a Stone Cold Steve Austin, Black Jack Pershing, Rickson Gracie, type any day of the week.

There are many people who think the United states will never have a major calaminty because..well.. we are the United States.
Its time to stop that thinking because history tells us Shiite will happen.
Obviously, you have never used Sears catalog pages, newspapers or even leaves from trees for your personal hygiene. Been there, done that, but not anxious to repeat those abrasive experiences. I store a modest supply of Charmin just in case. However, if the A bombs start going off, Charmin is the least of our worries.
I love it when some one understands!
However, it was more than just the Clinton years. I would call it "Clinton and Carter years type of mentality", and it really got rolling in the 1960's.
Some may not like it, but I compare 9/11 with a bunch of 13 year olds taking lunch money from kindergarten students. Were the hijackers and planners real men of genius? No. Genius can be a comparative term. Those 13 year olds I just alluded to could be smart enough to outwit 6 year olds, and take advantage of their naivete. Now, the problem is that too many Americans, mostly liberals, have yet to leave kindergarten. If we (Americans) were to collectively grow up, then the chances for another successful terrorist attack of a large scale diminishes greatly...
