Nukes accidentally load on the B-52 meant for IRAN

[Et in Arcadia ego]

Fuck me, there I go being 'blasphemous' to my country..

I wonder what kind of egregor the RI board could fashion..Maybe we should quit that positive thinking crap and fight evil with evil.

Hey, isn't that also the plot to that one Vin Diesel movie? No, not the Fast and the Furious (although, sorta).

Well, I've never been in the military, but I'm with the people who say these things just don't happen by accident. At the very least, when the pilot does his pre-flight, he's gonna see he has armed missiles.

Would (s)he? Since these weapons were transported under the wing, they would require their full outer container in tact in order to 'fly' correctly without drag etc. When the pilot inspects the plane pre-flight, they do not take off any outer panels of ordinance to check what is inside. They would have to go completely by the flight manifest which would have indicated x quantity missiles with nasty bits removed. If there were that number on the wing, then it would be assumed that the ground crew harnessed x quantity neutered nukes...

Regarding yesterday's LOOSE NUKES story!!! Important update!
Posted by Rick Myers on Thu Sep-06-07 02:35 PM

I decided to dig a little deeper into the story about nuclear weapons 'accidentally' loaded onto a B-52 and have found some disturbing information buried in an unclassified USAF budget document. Below you will find some of the significant text and a link to the entire ultra-dull report from the Pentagon. But here are some bullet points to consider (tin foil optional):

-- We were TOLD these weapons were being moved to be decomissioned. THAT IS NOT TRUE! This current USAF doc says the missiles are being 'refitted' to extend their service life until fiscal year 2030! These are state of the art weapons. The service plan even includes upgrading the W-80 warheads to keep them IN SERVICE.

-- If you read the first sentence below, you will see how the USAF decribes these weapons as "designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened targets at any location within any enemy's territory." Humm... What sort of operation would require such ordanance?

-- We have only 38 of these weapons, so 5 of them is a large chunk of the inventory to move at once.

-- It is MY OPINION that some 'patriot' leaked the info about these weapons movements. A warning?

-- It is also my opinion these weapons were being moved for some other reason, to Barksdale, and then possibly on to Diego Garcia, for obvious reasons.

IT IS TIME TO BE VERY AFRAID! The UK intercepted 8 Russian bombers yesterday, which has not happened in about 15 years. Syria fired on 4 or 5 Israeli aircraft that violated that violated Syrian airspace and dropped fuel tanks in the desert... Dr. Strangelove is alive and well...

(snip}

AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM) is a low-observable air-launched strategic missile with significant improvements over the Air Launched Cruise Missile B version (ALCM-B) in range, accuracy and
survivability. Armed with a W-80 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened targets at any location within any enemy's territory. The ACM is
designed for B-52H external carriage and there are currently 394 ACM in the inventory. The ACM fleet design service life expires between the years 2003 and 2008. A Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) was
developed to meet an AF Long Range Plan requirement to extend ACM Service Life to FY30.
Range Commanders Council (RCC) test range safety requirements (RCC-319) and Department of Energy's (DOE) redesign of the Joint Test Assembly (JTA) is driving modification of existing Joint Test
Instrumentation Kit (JTIK) test doors. Newly modified JTIK test doors will incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capability and components removed from the redesigned JTA package.
Without modified JTIK doors, the ACM cannot maintain its DOE nuclear certification, support the W-80 warhead Life Extension Program (LEP) or conduct flight testing used to collect weapon system
reliability data.
The requirement exists to provide modified Test Instrumentation Kits (TIKs) to support Functional Ground Test (FGT). FGT will provide a critical capability to the Air Force and provide a means of testing the
ACM without the loss of an asset. These tests will provide important reliability data for Service Life Extension analysis. Kit modification and unique spare components will be procured to support tests in the
FGT facility.

@ slimmouse:

Your logic is seriously flawed.

If a deployed nuke went belly up in the gulf, I think there would have been a concerted effort on the part of the Coalition to retrieve it. You know, that same Coalition that included Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States itself?

It seems as though Alex Cockburn "channelled" this info too !

Nuclear Warheads Lost from a B-52 Now in Iran?
-

"In 1991 a B-52g plane in-trouble was forced to divert.
Later it had to dump its SRAMS with nuke warheads into the sea, before itself finally having to ditch just short of Diego Garcia on 3rd Feb 1991."

[StarmanSkye]

Just thought I'd add this general observation re: in looking for additional information and intelligent commentary at various blogs, I've seen some of the most stooopid, idiotic posts -- among which, abovetopsecret seems to be the worst. I mean, my GaWd much of it is atrocious, downright foolish and/or uninformed. An example -- some people (?) suggested this 'accident' was the US flexing its muscles for the benefit of intimidating Iran -- ??????? This makes NO sense at all. If I was a bit more paranoid, I'd almost suspect these posters were spreading disinfo to keep attention from the REAL issue, whatever that might be, like the announced Sept 14 standown mebbe, or that the military's nuclear security is a joke, or some shenanigans involving the story about these relatively new, ultra-sophisticated cruise nukes of which there are only 38 being scrapped (despite the US's busy modernizing and improving its nuclear armaments for extended low-maintenance reliability).

[Et in Arcadia ego]

Despite all the rankling online, the only thing that really disturbed me is the announced grounding of bomber and fighter flights on the 14th. However, I don't equate the Air Force announcing this to be necessarily equivalent to NORAD being placed on stand down..I think people are confusing the two and they're not the same entity.

Also, if it was such an emergency that protocols be reviewed, why wait almost 2 weeks to do so?

edit: Also, 'Stand Down' is a term I've seen exclusive to online posters, and not once employed by actual Pentagon or any Air Force spokesman.

Sorry, but some Rigor needed to be infused in this discussion..

They remained unsecured for another TEN hours


Commander who was relieved of duty at Minot, Lt. Colonel Paul Wheeless.

Fallout Continues From Bomber Flight

They thought it was a joke message - sent accidentally.

That was the reaction of some officers in the Pentagon when they received what's called a "bent spear" message last week.

Jim Olson has more on that...

"Bent Spear" is the term reserved for significant nuclear weapons incidents and the message sent out last Thursday was real - alerting them of the fact that Minot Air Force Base munitions crews could not account for six nuclear warheads.

Those bombs had been mistakenly left attached to cruise missiles that were loaded onto the wings of a B-52 bomber and flown across the country to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

But even after the three-and-a-half hour flight, it wasn't until much later that the warheads were finally secured and removed from the bomber.

Air Force Major General Daniel Darnell reported on the timeline of the incident to Congress yesterday.

Sources in Congress say the timeline shows the six nuclear warheads were not retrieved or even identified as being nuclear munitions for almost ten hours after their arrival at Barksdale.

Sources in the Air Force say it took that long because the airmen who first discovered the bombs could not believe what they were seeing and had a hard time convincing superiors that the missiles on the bomber were, in fact, carrying nuclear weapons.

The incident has led the Air Force to relieve the commander of the 5th Munitions Wing at Minot Air Force Base of his duties.

According to records from the Air Force, the commander's name is Lieutenant Colonel Paul Wheeless.

LONG LIST OF CONNECTED DOTS FROM BARKSDALE NUKES TO DEATHS OF POLITICOS...IT APPEARS A MAJOR OPERATION IS ONGOING - WHO'S BEHIND IT? FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

Posted By: Rayelan <Send E-Mail>
Date: Thursday, 6 September 2007, 8:53 p.m.

In Response To: OPINION: THEY ARE *NOT* LOOKING FOR FOSSETT, HE IS NOT MISSING, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE IS.... THEY ARE USING HIM AS A COVER STORY... THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MISSING 150 KILOTON NUKE! (Never_Surrender) Note from Rayelan:

This comes from a long time informed reader. If you ONLY read one thing today... PLEASE read ALL of this!!

This reader has put the dots out... NOW... it's up to ALL of us to connect them.

Hi Raye,

Sorry for the length of the following, but just too many overlapping threads to ignore.

Many coinciding news items look like some sort of operation has occured over the past few days. Wonder where Jack Bauer has been lately?

The errant USAF Nukes were headed to Barksdale AFB. The internet indicates that Barksdale AFB is home to the Air Force's cyberspace command center, responsible for maintaining secure cyberspace command structure for all of AF's computers, networks, and networked weaponry.

3 days after the inadvertent nukes were pointed at Barksdale, the pentagon reported that their cyberspace was hacked by someone in China back in June 2007. (Were they still being hacked on Aug 30, but kept quiet to set a trap? A trap that was sprung only after the hacked loading procedures command was sent to Minot?)


Were hackers in China responsible for the loading of the nukes on the B52?
One might presume the AF has a semi-automatic supply chain procedure where orders are supplied over a "secure" AF network.

For example, flight techs at Minot AFB receive a digital command to load 5-6 of part no. ABC123 onto bomber no. XYZ. As it turns out could that order have been hacked, and intended to load certain faceless missiles on that B52 heading to Barksdale, homebase of the AF anti-cyberhackers?

If so, unbeknownst to the techs following the USAF cyber-based procedures, those faceless missiles were carrying live nukes...now pointed directly at Barksdale.

Imagine the hackers chuckling about that hack. Message delivered.

Now look at the time line of some recent events.

I don't know what it points to, other than that it looks like some sort of major op just occurred involving the Air Force, certain members of Congress, Boeing, weather, global terror ops.
Aug 27, Atty General Gonzalez quits.

Aug 27, Senator Larry Craig (finally) publicly flogged for lewd conduct commited in JUNE 2007 (same time frame as original chinese pentagon hacks, hmmm) (someone held onto this info for release on this later date, hmmm) All eyes diverted to this "scandal".

Aug 27, motorcycle policeman dies escorting W's motorcade back to Albuquerque airport. Same as in Hawaii in Nov 2006. W then visits Seattle for 2 hours before flying to Reno for dinner.

Not far from where Fossett goes missing a couple days later.

Aug 28, India invites bids for $10 Billion worth of military jets. Boeing, as well as companies from France, Russia, Lockheed, Sweden, and Euro., are expected to bid.

Aug 29, W visits NOLA on Katrina anniversary.

Aug 29, Air Force "combat weatherman" John Frueh goes missing in Portland Ore while visiting from FLA. His last cell phone call was on Aug 30 from Vancouver, hmmm near W's visit 2 days earlier.

Story at:
http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews ... ek_air_for ce.html

Weather prediction and modification is certainly an important aspect of modern combat tactics. Both for movement of forces and optimization of communications, satellite intel, and possible use of scalar atmospheric technologies.

Chemtrails have been alluded to as one likely way to manipulate the weather and to create an optimized atmospherics for advanced detection and/or scalar technologies. A combat seasoned Air Force "combat weatherman" would have insight into some of the above.

BTW, the preferred military aircraft for conducting continuous chemtrail spraying appears to be the workhorses built by Boeing, including the C130 transport. The RR archives and internet have reports of many alleged scandals involving Boeing and a long list of pentagon brass, congressmen, judges in Chicago, lobbyists, and foreign heads of state.

Aug 30, USAF techs blindly following digitized procedures/commands put ABC missiles on XYZ bomber headed to Barksdale AFB, homebase for the Air Force cyberspace and anti-hacking operations for entire Air Force. If a nuke went off at Barksdale, would our Air Force have been blinded to further cyber-hack commands waiting in the wings? Probably.

(Announced Sept 6, Entire USAF air command grounded on Sept 14 to review adequacy of its "procedures" (digitized? web-based? procedures)

Aug 30, Charles Vanik D-OH 90+ year old former congressman dies in his sleep in Jupiter FL. Had a long institutional memory of the early years of the cold war, and the environment that gave rise to Boeing and the MIC.

Aug 31, Rove's last day on job.

Sept 2, W leaves DC under cover of darkness and with minimal security detail to begin a surprise trip to visit Iraq.

Sept 3, Pentagon releases report that China hacked computer networks in JUNE 2007. In following days, the European MSM reports that China also hacked British, French, and German govt security networks. USAF cyberspace control center is located at Barksdale AFB.

Sept 3, aviator Steve Fossett's plane goes missing in western Nevada while "looking for a dry lake bed" for future work. Air Force rescue command at Langley AFB VA oversees search ops.

Sept 3-4, German converts to Islam busted for planning bombing of a US AFB, and unnamed targets in US.

Sept 4, Congressman Paul Gillmor R-OH found dead in his home at age 68 in DC. Long history with Air Force judge advocate general corps (front door for AF intel operations).

Gillmor had lobbied Boeing a few years ago to build new facility in Ohio to manufacture the new 787 "Dreamliner". Boeing did not. But in Jan 13, 2006, Gillmor headed a delegation to meet and discuss trade with India's PM. 2 days earlier, India announced it had awarded Boeing an $8B contract to build commercial jets. Did Gillmor grease the skids before his trip?

Sept 4, Lewd Senator Larry Craig reneges on decision to step down and seeks to stay in power.

In 2003 Craig held up the promotion of hundreds of USAF officers. Craig wanted USAF to hold to a previous pork deal to provide some Boeing C130 transports (chemtrail sprayers?) to the Idaho Natl Guard.

Was Craig trying to push USAF around again? Was that threat eliminated when Gillmor dropped from the picture?

Sept 5, former Congressman Jennifer Dunn R-OH dies of a sudden "embolism" in her home at age 66 in DC.

Dunn oversaw congressional review of Boeing-Pentagon contracting procedures, especially in regards to irregularities involving purchase of C130 transports (chemtrail sprayers).

She was also co-chair of DHS oversight. After leaving Congress in 2005, she maintained her Virginia residence, and did not return to her native Washington state, indicating she found other lucrative work within the military industrial complex, or within ops for one of the factions. Boeing is based in Washington state, and likely made her election possible. Did she not want to live under that umbrella again?

Sept 5, Boeing announces 787 Dreamliner production will be delayed for a couple of months, citing problems with assembly and "finalizing flight-control software". Was something wrong with the updated version of global hawk software (software that allows remote control of a pilotless jet)? Was the software susceptible to hackers? Hmmmm... 9/11 WTC technology?

Sept 5, USAF announces it will ground all its aircraft in order to reveiw "procedures"...procedures for preventing hacking of command and control of USAF assets?

Air Force command at Langley AFB VA oversees search ops. (Same AFB looking for Fossett).

What do you make of that?


NOTE FROM RAYELAN:

Make sure to check the threads.

New pieces of the puzzle are being added as we find them. We are also trying to explain the 100 war between the Federal Reserve Predators who control the world, and the group that has been trying to take them down since the late 1800s... a group we at RMN refer to as FACTION TWO... F2

OPINION: THEY ARE *NOT* LOOKING FOR FOSSETT, HE IS NOT MISSING, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE IS.... THEY ARE USING HIM AS A COVER STORY... THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MISSING 150 KILOTON NUKE!

Posted By: Never_Surrender <Send E-Mail>
Date: Friday, 7 September 2007, 11:06 a.m. Ok....

Something just occurred to me....

On Aug. 30th we had the B-52 nuke incident, no one knows for sure if there were 5 or 6 nukes yet.

If there were 6 ONE IS MISSING

On Sept. 3rd, we are being told that a famous man went missing... a highly connected famous man.

for days they have been searching for him.....

OR HAVE THEY?

This all just hit me when I was watching the news for the first time in about two weeks, and I heard them say that the MILITARY is helping to look for this Fossett guy.

WHAT? The Military????

It was then that it hit me....

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE MISSING NUKE!

Nevada Guard Aids Search for Missing Pilot Fossett

Air Force units assist in search for adventurer Steve Fossett

COME ON, THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS IS ALL FOR SOME GUY!!

They even have GOOGLE searching for the guy FROM SPACE!!

Mark my words.... THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MISSING NUKE.

This Fossett guy is ONLY missing because they needed a cover story... they had to find a way to explain all of the military planes that were going to be flying around over Nevada.

They needed a good excuse and VOILA... Fossett provided it!!

As soon as they locate the nuke, they will produce the set up "crash" scene!

Right now that man is in a bunker somewhere with his plane hidden inside or underneath of a mountain being held in safe keeping away from public eyes until they find what they are really looking for......... A MISSING 150 KILOTON NUCLEAR WEAPON!!

and then they will take him out to some remote location and set up the "crash" scene.... or, there is a chance that Fossett is in on this whole thing and that he volunteered to "disappear" for a few days into some government bunker so that he could play a part in saving the country from being nuked.

In which case he will show up in a week or two with some heroic story of survival and everyone will be amazed that he made it.

I don't know why it took me so long to get this one but...

they are DEFINITELY NOT looking for a missing man using ALL of these military resources and EVEN going as far as to have satellites searching FROM SPACE....

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH MATTERS OF NATIONAL SECURITY.... mark my words.

[Banta]

I'd normally say that that consulting RMN is much less reliable than consulting a ouija board, but that stuff about Fossett seems plausible.

Still though, there's little doubt in my mind that Rayelan is CIA (I can't remember that factions bullshit, but doesn't she pretty much acknowledge as much?), so why is she on this kick?

It's actually very disturbing, because one could speculate that this is being brewed up as a cover story for a possible "terrorist" nuclear attack in the near future.

Of course, I'm only speculating, so pay me no mind.

[Et in Arcadia ego]

It was then that it hit me....
