Did you know?
The Russians are building tremendous new nuclear/biological and chemical
weapons systems--all with the assistance of US technology transfers. They are
deploying on average, 3 new Topol-M 6th generation ballistic missiles per
month. We built our last MX over 10 years ago, and are disarming unilaterally.
Further, the Russian are building huge underground nuclear bunkers and
weapons production facilities in the Ural Mountains, clearly intended to
function during a nuclear war. The US intelligence community (under both
Republican and Democratic administrations) knows this and are actively
covering for the Russians, so the American people won’t become alarmed.
Both Republican and Democratic administrations have been supplying the
Chinese with high technology weapons systems for years, knowing that they, in
turn, are supplying other enemies (Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, North Korea) as well.
Both Russia and China continue to protest against any US anti-ballistic missile
system, even though such systems are purely defensive. It doesn’t take a
genius to understand that ABM systems only threaten someone who intends to
launch ballistic missiles someday.
President Clinton directed our military to absorb a nuclear first strike rather
than “launch on warning” (our only true deterrent to a first strike) and to
prepare to “retaliate” afterward. That first strike will take down all command
and control, all bombers (since none are on alert), most missiles, and all
satellite and submarine communications.
According to the House Armed Services Committee, the following reductions
have taken place during the Clinton Administration: Strategic and General
Purpose Forces from 1990 to 1997: B-52 Bombers have gone from 220 to
56. B-1 Bombers from 90 to 60; Strategic Defense Interceptor Aircraft from
36 to 0; and Army Divisions (1990 to 1997) have gone from 18 Active down
to 10. Reserve divisions have gone from 10 to 8. Army Brigades (1990 to
1997) have declined from 8 Active to 3 and Reserve brigades have gone
down from 27 to 18.
What will you do about it?
What is the risk to you and your family if there is a major terrorist attack on a
U.S. city with chemical or biological weapons? What will you do?
Did you know the US, by policy, will not retaliate on warning of a nuclear
attack --effectively removing any deterrent? Are you prepared if the
"unthinkable" happens—nuclear war?
Have you considered what you will do if an economic crisis threatens your
pensions, investments and other so-called "guaranteed" income?
What about a major earthquake or other natural disaster suddenly upsetting the
natural social order for months at a time? Could you get out of harm's way if
massive social unrest erupts in the wake of a crisis?
What about your home? Do you have extra tanks of potable water should
public water supplies be cut off or contaminated? Would you know how to
collect and filter your own water if none was available for a long time?
Joel Skousen is a world-renowned expert in home security and Constitutional
law. Joel, who publishes a weekly comprehensive analysis of world affairs, is
also the author of books on home security, law, and government. His latest
two books, The Secure Home and Strategic Relocation--North American
Guide to Safe Places, address the myriad economic, biological, and political
threats that face families living in today's complex world. The books also serve
as guides for families wishing to relocate to a more secure area and become
self-sufficient. In addition, Joel is available to consult privately with individuals
to design high security residences and retreats, or to develop contingency plans
for emergency situations.
The chances of Russia initiating a nuclear attack on the United States these days are about zilch. Nil. Zippo.
BTW, I'm a former SAC aircraft commander who spent more than his share of time on nuclear alert during the Cold War.
Dunno if you feel comfortable replying, but was there a certain situation or alert that comes to mind where you thought something could really happen?
To give a short answer.....................not really. There were some incredibly tense times, I won't kid you about that..........but we always knew that as much as we despised and feared the idea of nuclear war, the Russkies were scared s**tless of it far more than we were. I'll leave it at that. :)
BTW, it's no myth that Ronald Reagan really did win the Cold War. To put it bluntly, with "Star Wars", he saturated their ability to respond economically. IOW, he outspent them. I was perfectly willing to pay the price knowing that my kids would not grow up in a world where they'd constantly be under the threat of a nuclear attack.
.......then the damned Cox Report came out and I learned exactly what Clinton allowed vis a vis China. That son of a bitch.....................................

Oh no! They got to you too. <>
