Not neccessarily. Most all reports are looking at tactical nukes of the 10-15 Kiloton range, similar to the one dropped on Nagasaki.
That’s spelled demonrat...
We aren’t in the least prepared. Folks need to go back to having pantries and water supplies in their basements. Also extra medication on hand. We ARE in for a bumpy ride and sooner than we may think or hope.
I think that’s already too late. I believe those people are already in this country and that the bombs are also here.
So very true!! Marcinko would handle this whole terrorism thing for sure.
Maybe he could be SECDEF?
He’d get my vote, if I had one for SECDEF.
Same here
Very frightening.
Hi Sam, I have a question for your dad.
Would he reinstate Red Cell for its intended purpose? And if so, who would he ask to command it?
Now if he were to say he's in disagreement with President Bush concerning the border policy, I would go to Defcon Four.
So everything is cool ;^)
All of Chicago’s downtown Loop would be wiped out with a 10K nuke.
I would really miss
the Art Institute. But now
the Loop is mostly
awful looking bums
and weird little store-front shops.
It needs cleaning up . . .
My great-aunt used to teach kiddie art classes at the Art Institute during the 1930’s.

A good thing to have is open pollinated seeds, that seeds from the parent plant can be saved and used the next season. Since most seeds today are hybrids and have been genetically engineers, the seeds coming from the vegetables grown from them are sterile, and worthless.
An excellent source for open pollinated seed is "Johnny's Seeds". I highly recommend them, since I've been doing business with them since the early 80s.
I think you are right.
Why is it that Joe Normal doesn’t pay attention, take precautions, learn what to do, learn where to go, learn who to talk to?
I’m willing to bet that during WWII you could ask any school age child or adult where the nearest civil defense bomb shelter was and you could get an answer.
Why, in these perilous days, is comparable information not generally known, even by adults?
Would you know where to go if you received official information that your community had been attacked with a biochemical agent? How about a ‘dirty’ bomb?
Would you know who to contact if YOU received this information from an unofficial source that you trusted?
Is the everyday person so blasé about events unfolding that they make no effort to learn these things?
Is the government, national, state, or local, so blasé about this information that it does not try to make the information known throughout its’ sphere of influence?
What is to be done about making the changes in our lives so that we may live, prosper and grow the way the nation of the United States of America should, without giving up essential liberties?
If these ponderings and questions don’t make you pause and think then you may as well stop reading right now and go about your everyday life with your head remaining in the sand like the ostrich you are.
If these thoughts do make you think, what will you do about your thoughts?
Some suggestions
Find out about your community’s emergency preparedness plan.
If you don’t already know, find out where the nearest emergency shelter is located.
Lay in a separate supply of nonperishable food and water along with a good first aid kit.
Above all, do what the military taught me. Pay attention to detail!
These are things that I have done.
Sometimes I HATE being right. Thanks for the info about the seeds. M
Yer welcome.
