        Tony and Marcia, 
 
          
 
        Sadly, 
        well-intentioned and honest pacifists --- good people and 
        well-intentioned  --- can have it rather much backwards, at least in my 
        own personal view. Their hearts are certainly in the right place, but 
        not their heads --- again, in my personal view.  The foreign decision to 
        go to asymmetric war, made decades ago on the part of terrorists, 
        radically fundamentalist Muslims, etc. eliminates any such thing as 
        peace, a priori, at least 
        in our lifetimes.  It is inflicted upon us, not created and launched by 
        us. 
 
          
 
        In asymmetric war, the 
        great strategic strike is now divided into two phases. 
         
        
        
        
        (1)    
        Phase 1 is the insertion phase, accomplished in 
        "peacetime" which is now seen as nothing but preparation for all-out war 
        and destruction of the targeted nation.  In Phase I, weapons of mass 
        destruction and the hostile clandestine teams to set them off and 
        unleash them, are secretly inserted into the cities and near critical 
        facilities in the targeted nation(s).  This includes whatever WMD can be 
        had or bought: Nukes, chemical weapons, BW agents, sabotage and 
        destruction supplies, scalar interferometry weapons, EMP weapons, etc. 
        
        
        
        (2)    
        Phase 2 is the operations phase.  The order is given at 
        the time of the controlling nation's own choosing.  When the order is 
        issued,  the inserted terrorist teams initiate and begin setting off the 
        weapons of mass destruction, wreaking great havoc on the targeted 
        nation.  With sufficient preparation during the insertion phase, the 
        targeted nation is destroyed fairly quickly, with a great many millions 
        of casualties and total economic collapse.  Once in that position, the 
        targeted nation is then easily finished off. 
 
          
 
        So "searching for 
        peace" and "backing peace" after the insertion phase is already 
        completed and the operations phase has begun, is playing right into the 
        hands of those who have chosen to engage in and unleash asymmetric war. 
 
          
 
        You know the rest.  
        Clandestine nuclear weapons are already in all our major cities and at 
        truly major, critical facilities. Lunev even tells some of the ways they 
        were inserted: 
 
          
        
        "It is surprisingly easy to smuggle nuclear weapons into the United 
        States.  A commonly used method is for a Russian airplane to fly across 
        the ocean on a typical reconnaissance flight.  The planes will be 
        tracked by U.S. radar, but that's not a problem.  When there are no 
        other aircraft in 
        visual 
        range, the Russian airplane will launch a small, high-tech, stealth 
        transport missile that can slip undetected into remote areas of the 
        country.  The missiles are retrieved by GRU operatives. 
        
                    Another way to get a weapon into the country is to have an 
        'oceanographic research' submarine deliver the device—accompanied by GRU 
        specialists—to a remote section of coastline. 
        
        
                    Nuclear devices can also be slipped across the Mexican or 
        Canadian borders.  It is easy to get a bomb to Cuba and from there 
        transport it to Mexico.  Usually the devices are carried by a Russian 
        intelligence officer or a trusted agent."  
        [Stanislov Lunev and Ira Winkler, Through the Eyes of 
        the Enemy: Russia's Highest Ranking Military Defector Reveals Why Russia 
        Is More Dangerous Than Ever, Regnery, Washington, D.C., 1998.]. 
 
          
 
        Further, international 
        shipping has long used the standard shipping container system.  Only 
        about 2% or so of the containers are ever even checked anywhere in the 
        world.  So shipment of most anything --- nuclear weapons, drugs, etc. 
        --- can be gotten in with about 98% reliability, by just disguising the 
        actual "shipped package" in and among otherwise innocent stuff in a 
        standard container.  The U.S. trucking industry and railway shipping 
        industry will load up the containers at the U.S. ports and deliver them 
        to the waiting clandestine terrorists at their intended destination. 
 
          
 
        When the Soviet 
        economy failed, resulting in the collapse of the former Soviet Empire, 
        the Soviets became unable to pay their generals and soldiers for 
        extended periods of time.  Consequently, the generals and troops began 
        selling their military equipment to the best bidder, in order to 
        survive.  If one had guts and money, one could buy almost anything at 
        all from the Russian armada of weapons.  Two hundred missile warheads 
        from the Ukraine are "missing", as are nearly 100 "suitcase nukes".  As 
        an example, you could even buy a Russian nuclear submarine complete with 
        nuclear missiles!  Quoting Lunev, p. 17: 
 
          
        
        "…Ludwig Feinberg, a Russian mobster, purchased a Piranha-class nuclear 
        submarine from the Russian Naval Base in Kronstadt for $5.5 million.  
        The submarine was to be disguised as an oceanographic research vessel, 
        but would, in fact, transport cocaine to ports in North America.  To 
        facilitate his plan, Feinberg signed a Russian admiral to a two-year 
        contract.  Feinberg was arrested in the United States on other charges, 
        and his submarine deal collapsed." 
          
        We have previously 
        pointed out that a rogue Japanese group, comprised of the Aum Shinrikyo 
        and Yakuza, leased the earlier scalar interferometer weapons from the 
        KGB/Russian Mafia at the end of 1989, on site in Russia, and manned 
        those sites.  Look up in the sky above your head these days, and look 
        for "giant radial clouds" and "twin giant radials" --- like giant 
        chicken feet tracks in the sky.  Your weather is being massively 
        engineered, and has been since 1976.  Since 1990, it has been directly 
        engineered by the Japanese Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo teams on site in 
        Russia, etc.  These are the type of weapons that Secretary of Defense 
        William Cohen publicly confirmed in 1997, when he stated: 
          
        
        "Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can 
        alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the 
        use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out 
        there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon 
        other nations…It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify 
        our efforts, and that's why this is so important."  
        [Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism 
        conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.  Quoted from DoD News 
        Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference 
        on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University 
        of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997]. 
 
          
 
         Russia (the KGB, even 
        under its new name) has many nuclear weapons in our cities here in the 
        U.S., and even Al Qaeda probably has a few.  The necessary teams to 
        detonate them on command are already in here and just waiting the order 
        to proceed.  BW agents (such as smallpox and anthrax) are in here in 
        quantity, along with the necessary teams.  As an example, unleashing 
        smallpox alone, in a single major city anywhere on Earth, will 
        eventually kill some 2 billion or so --- nearly one third the human 
        population.  Here is a statement on that, by Garrett: 
 
          
        If 
        the smallpox virus were released today, the majority of the world's 
        population would be defenseless, and given the virus' 30 percent kill 
        rate, nearly two billion people would die." 
        
         [Laurie Garrett, "The 
        Nightmare of Bioterrorism," Foreign Affairs, 80(1), Jan./Feb. 
        2001, p. 76-89.  I quote from p. 77.] 
          
        Garrett further spells 
        it out: 
          
        
        "The world is … completely vulnerable to a smallpox attack.   The last 
        time a mass emergency vaccination took place in the United States was 
        1947, when a traveler from Mexico spread smallpox to New York City.  
        Vaccines were then readily available, and 6.35 million New Yorkers were 
        immunized in less than four weeks.  In 1961, a similar vaccination 
        campaign was administered following a smallpox outbreak in England: 5.5 
        million people were immunized in a month's time.  A decade later, 
        smallpox cases in Yugoslavia prompted the rapid vaccination of 20 
        million people in that country.   Were a smallpox crisis to emerge 
        today, none of these efforts could be repeated." 
        [Laurie Garrett, "The Nightmare of Bioterrorism," Foreign Affairs, 
        80(1), Jan./Feb. 2001, p. 76-89.]  Quote is from p. 78.  The reader will 
        note that the administration is trying mightily to increase the 
        availability of smallpox vaccine, and some vaccination is underway in 
        Connecticut for health workers. 
          
        Saddam Hussein's 
        strategy is that, once the U.S./U.N. attack begins or is imminent, he 
        will unleash smallpox (and some other things) in Israel, some fired in 
        his Scud missiles.  This will immediately propel Israel into the war, 
        converting it from a U.S./Iraq war into a Muslim Holy Jihad against the 
        Great Satan (Israel and the U.S.).  This will bring in a great number of 
        otherwise sidelined Arab nations, and friendly Arab nations such as 
        Saudi Arabia, etc. will have open insurrection going in the streets from 
        hordes of militant Muslims.  Our bases in friendly Arab nations will 
        suddenly be in great danger, and the friendly Arab country allowing 
        those bases will have its own revolution occurring in the streets.  It 
        will also cause other previously uncommitted Moslem nations to commit 
        their own inserted terrorist teams and WMD inside the U.S., increasing 
        the damage potential far beyond what Iraq can do alone. 
 
          
 
        The first phase of 
        World War III has been completed some time ago.  The second phase began 
        in stumbling fashion with 9/11 attacks on the twin towers, pentagon, and 
        an intended attack on the White House.  We will be in the second phase 
        for the rest of our lives. 
 
          
 
        This is why, shortly 
        after 9/11, Vice President Cheney sadly stated: 
 
          
        
        “The war on terrorism will not be over in our lifetime.  It is different 
        than the Gulf War was in the sense that it may never end. At 
        least not in our lifetime.  The way I think of it is, it’s a new 
        normalcy.” 
        [Vice 
        President Dick Cheney, October 21, 2001]. 
          
        With the 
        First Phase of WW III already completed, there is no reasonable choice 
        remaining but to try go root out as much as possible of the infiltrated 
        WMDs and teams, and to go after all the bases and funding and backing 
        and control of the terrorist teams that are preparing to unleash these 
        WMD inside our nation, in wholesale fashion. 
          
        A single 
        professional anthrax spray attack on one of our major cities, will 
        result in from one to three million casualties, by official study 
        estimate.  E.g., quoting Betts: 
          
        A 
        1993 study by the Office of Technology Assessment concluded that a 
        single airplane delivering 100 kilograms of anthrax spores – a dormant 
        phase of a bacillus that multiplies rapidly in the body, producing 
        toxins and rapid hemorrhaging – by aerosol on a clear, calm night over 
        the Washington, D.C., area could kill between one million and three 
        million people, 300 times as many fatalities as if the plane had 
        delivered sarin gas in amounts ten times larger.  
        [Richard K. Betts, “The New Threat of Mass Destruction,” Foreign 
        Affairs, 77(1). Jan./Feb. 1998, p. 32.  The study referenced is:  
        U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Proliferation of 
        Weapons of Mass Destruction: Assessing the Risks, Government 
        Printing Office, Washington, 1993, p. 54.] 
          
        Again, 
        Garrett summarizes some fierce problems with anthrax et al. (p. 78): 
          
        
        "For other diseases preventable by vaccine, such as anthrax, the lag 
        time between inoculation and the development of powerful antibodies 
        could be far longer—up to a year, even with boosters.  And of course, 
        immunization efforts would be useless against vaccine-resistant 
        pathogens, such as those created by Soviet scientists working on anthrax 
        weapons.  Furthermore, a determined bioterrorist could simply try a 
        succession of microbial weapons—or use a cocktail at the outset—defying 
        even the best-organized vaccination programs." 
          
        To press 
        for the normal "peace" and "negotiation" as the means of solution, in 
        the present world situation with Phase I of World War III already a 
        fait accompli, is like 
        cattle in the slaughterhouse before the sledgehammers start to fall, 
        trying to establish "peace" and "negotiation" with the butchers already 
        holding the hammers. 
          
        Wish it 
        were not that way, but unfortunately it is.  At any rate, it appears 
        that war is inevitable, and will either erupt within a few weeks or 
        perhaps a few months.  Then we shall see what happens, whether we like 
        it or not. 
          
        Best 
        wishes, 
        Tom  |
