NTI: Global Security Newswire - U.S. Cities Prepare for Nuclear Disaster
Wednesday, December 16, 2009

http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20091215_5896.php

While the detonation of a nuclear weapon in the United States is considered highly unlikely, Los Angeles and other U.S. cities are preparing for such a disaster by assessing old bomb shelters and preparing emergency response plans, the Los Angeles Daily News reported Monday

[____snip____]

......The U.S. Homeland Security Council has called on local and state governments to put in place the necessary preparations to respond to the detonation of a nuclear weapon in a large city.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is looking into how to include a nuclear attack scenario in a public awareness campaign, Homeland Security Department spokesman Matthew Chandler said.

U.S. defense expert Brian Kennedy said there is worry among experts over the likelihood that Iran could gain the capability to deploy nuclear missiles on ships and use them against the United States.

Kennedy said he is worried that a nuclear missile could explode at a high-altitude and produce an electromagnetic pulse with the potential of taking out the nation's power network. This could strand a large portion of the U.S. population without access to food, water and communications (Troy Anderson, Los Angeles Daily News, Dec. 13).

WSJ: Mother of All Blackouts

REVIEW & OUTLOOK

Mother of All Blackouts August 12, 2004

Saturday marks the anniversary of the blackout that shut down much of the Northeast a year ago. Anyone who lived through that power outage remembers the annoyance of life without lights, air conditioning, TVs, computers and all the other electronic equipment on which a modern society depends. Now, imagine a blackout that lasts for months, or years.

That was the job of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the U.S. from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.....

FARS - if/when something does “bust open” in Iran vis-a-vi the opposition making a move on the regime; what is your opinion on whether the regime, in a last ditch desparation move, would try to spark a regional war in hopes that it would inspire a “rally the flag” moment in an attempt to quell any coup?

You should NOT have ANY difficulty finding a publisher, and I am very serious about this. One of the better selling genres nowadays is travel literature about DANGEROUS DESTINATIONS. Here's just one example of a Travel To Dangerous Places Lit:

google cache of one book

I encourage you to NOW contact a large number of publishers with a QUERY letter, asking their interest in such a book, and giving a synopsis of your experiences and why you are qualified to write their next bestseller.

Go to any major bookstore in America, stop by the local Barnes and Noble, and check out their TRAVEL section, it's got scads of books about places unsafe to travel to.

Iran again, huh?

Don’t know if they’re going to attack Israel, Israel’s going to hit Iran, the entire gummint of Iran’s going to implode or all of the above.

...just remembered that I’ve gotta double check on different ammo for Grandma’s new shotgun. Those magnum OO loads work OK, but every round backs her up about three feet.

Internet Forums Advocated Use of Biological Toxins

snip

From those details and level of expertise displayed Aviran says he knew the threats were serious and sent a warning to his company’s clients worldwide which include in his words, “Western governmental agencies.”

At the same time he claims there have also been terrifying online exchanges about using aerosols filled with biological agents to attack planes.

Two individuals, both well-known members of extremist forums, according to Aviran, have been leading these discussions which include the use of Botulinum toxin. Botulinum is one of the deadliest substances known to mankind.

The two individuals have been participating in Islamic Internet forums for several years and are known to the intelligence gatherers at Terrogence.

Online Extremists Recommended Methods Exactly Like Those Used by Abdulmutallab

Extremist Internet forums discussed blowing up planes three weeks before the Detroit attempt -- and have also discussed ways of using deadly biological agents onboard planes.

A private Israeli intelligence company told ABC News Monday there was a surge of online discussions in extremist Islamic forums about blowing up planes three weeks before Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to bring down Northwest Flight 253. The discussions recommended using "improvised detonation chain" devices, exactly like the one used onboard the Detroit-bound flight.

The company has also tracked specific -- and in its view -- credible plans to attack planes using deadly biological agents.....
