A lot of that garbage is conspiracy theories to cater to certain groups programing them to make them feel better. :eye-roll Propaganda is a powerful tool. No Jim, not garbage or propaganda but news that is still available with a search engine. It does sound like conspiracy theory stuff on a late ni...

Ah you know the CDC and W.H.O. both have the original strain of the Spanish Flu.

It's all on the CDC website, how they found it in a frozen solid person in the artic who had died from it.

All Chem and bio weapons weren't designed to kill . Even the most lethal of the biologic s that were designed to be were not 100% fatal. Scientists looking at the genetics of COVID quite clearly stated it was artificially enhanced to make it more communicable. We know where it came from so it was e...

Jim, we are NBC ( or at least BC) free and so are Russia and china. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/07/1186550955/the-world-is-officially-free-of-chemical-weapons-heres-what-that-means The 30,000 tons we alone held are now gone. We had the last of them supposedly. If an attack is done now it wouldn't b...

Nuclear Attack Worst-Case Scenario Would See 90% of Americans Wiped Out Nov 14, 2023 at 9:00 AM EST https://www.newsweek.com/nuclear-attack-missile-silos-worst-case-scenario-radiation-deaths-1842677 Isn’t this really about justifying funds to replace obsolete weapons? As ever, some will try and mak...

I agree Jim. Our world/society/Nation/way of living is so very fragile anyways... I don't even wanna think about it. Well it's not something to really dwell on because if it happens it really won't make much difference. 99.9% of the population doesn't have the monetary resources to afford something...

Read voraciously. Don't be lied too. Read what everyone says. Best advice anyone can give. There are often more than two sides to a story. Most things published now are written to influence the reader. And they have links to the source so all the boxes are checked. You can find all kinds of papers ...

The Newsweek link is to a story that quotes people, articles and discusses Scientific American articles on the U.S. Air Force, a Department of Defense (DOD) spokesperson and the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review. There are a lot of Scientific American stories that are readable on their website regarding ...

Newsweek has long stopped being journalists and gone to clickbait garbage. I remember when they at least tried. The article was about the Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security team and their findings. Pretty standard stuff for a magazine to do. And they have links to the sou...

I’m fascinated by everyone’s perspective, and wouldn’t dissuade anyone from doing what they think appropriate. Kearney’s book is interesting, for sure, but too often it refers to orthodox views being discredited without references, for me to be entirely convinced. On the other hand, google “the eff...

I wouldn't be screwin around in Mexico.....plenty places to go campin other than Mexico.....just sayin

Exactly.

I have no dog in this fight. I'd like to mention that MANY Americans could barely handle the isolation and inconveniences of the Covid lockdown. Unfortunately, some became so emotionally depressed from that short amount of isolation, they chose to "not be here anymore." Now imagine that m...

If it came off that way, I did not intend to paint a rosy picture above. I'm of the belief that 80% of the plant's life will be wiped out within 2 years if a major nuclear war happens. There are dozens of totally FREE papers by Dr Peter Pry on what will happen when a major nuclear war happens. Nobo...

Ankerson, sadly, I think the odds are you're right. I'd prefer it happened long after I'm gone. Well lets hope. However humans have been killing each other forever, finding new and better ways to do it and will continue to do so. So yeah it will happen, it's just a matter of time. Naaah. AI will sa...

I've read too much for comfort about nuclear war. I really hope our world leaders are smart enough to never make it happen.

I think it will happen eventually.

Like the saying goes.

"World War IV will be fought with sticks and rocks."

The "public bomb shelters" that were in the USA and Canada were decommissioned when the USSR dissolved. Now the USA may be at DefCon 3. If they go to DefCon 2, many of the items discussed below will be impossible to obtain and even more impossible to implement in a timely manner. US Civil...

Wouldn’t there be a completely enormous difference between radiation from air burst and ground burst detonations? Which will the enemy choose? I.E Will this war be one of destruction, or territorial conquest? This is why we all need sane & rational political leaders. Weapons controlled by gover...
