Insanity or Incompetence?

Has anyone heard about the “accidental” transportation of 6 nuclear missiles via B-52 bomber over 1500 miles of American soil?

That scares the shit out of me, and on a number of levels. It scares me because someone in the military who is responsible for these things “accidentally” loaded 6 nuclear missiles onto a bomber instead of a cargo plane. How on this big blue marble can anyone accidentally put 6 nuclear weapons into the wrong place? That’s like me telling a friend “I’m sorry guy, I accidentally screwed your wife, my bad”!

It also scares me because of the distinct possibility that this was done on purpose. I know, that sounds awfully paranoid. Think about it for a minute, before you think that this is just too crazy. The Bush administration has been spoiling for a fight with Iran for at least a year now. They claim that it is because Iran is trying to produce a nuclear weapon. The IAEA says that Iran is not. The Bush administration is trying to do to Iran what it did to Iraq, which is to say that it is trying to make up intelligence reports indicating what they want it to indicate. The unfortunate part is that the American people won’t fall for it this time because we do not like being lied to about something so major. So how could the Bush administration go about getting what it wants without having to forge intelligence about it?

It’s called a “false flag operation”. This term is defined as: “False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.” False flag operations have been carried out by numerous government and intelligence agencies in the past, including ours. Some examples would be: Operation Ajax (in which the U.S. aided in overthrowing Iran’s leader), Operation Susannah/Lavon Affair (in which Israel bombed American and British targets in an attempt to frame Egypt), the Gliwice Incident (in which German SS officers disguise themselves as Poles to give the appearance of a Polish attack) and the aborted Operation Northwoods (in which the US concocted plans to commit terrorist incidents on American soil and frame Cuba). Now, with all of these past incidents of false-flag operations coupled with the fact that the Bush administration lied about the intelligence to go to Iraq and their apparent desire to invade Iran; does it not make sense that they would do something of this nature? Is it paranoia or is it an observation of seemingly random yet connected events?

This incident also scares me because, if it was indeed a prelude to a false-flag operation, it displays a callous disregard for human life on the part of those behind it. Invading a country with conventional weapons is one thing, staging a nuclear attack on your own people is something else entirely. I say that it would be an attack on our people because it wouldn’t make any logical sense to attack Iran with nuclear weapons to stage a terrorist or militarily aggressive incident. I suppose that they could have been transporting the weapons for the simple purpose of preparation to act in self-defense. However, why ship nuclear weapons to any place in the Middle East knowing full well that they could quite possibly fall into the wrong hands? None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Oh, and the US Air Combat Command issued a complete stand down for September 14th. This sounds an awful lot like the stand down that preceded the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I know, I sound paranoid. But don’t be shocked or surprised if and when something happens then. The Islamic holiday of Ramadan starts on the 12th and goes until the end of the month. So an attack within that timeframe wouldn’t be unexpected. Naturally, I don’t know this, but I am preparing to say “I told you!”
