A B-52 bomber loaded with five (increased to six in later reports) nuclear weapons fitted on the pylons under its wings was discovered after sitting for ten hours on a tarmac at Barksdale AFB on August 30. Three anonymous Air Force officers leaked the news of the incident to the Army Times newspaper which announced the discovery on September 5. The discovery immediately gained world wide coverage: (http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/09/marine_nuclear_B52_070904w/ . The mainstream news media has so far concentrated on the Air Force version of events that the incident was an ‘error’ and is now subject to an official investigation. Barksdale AFB is a staging post for Middle East operations and routinely has B-52 flying missions. The B-52 incident has subsequently led to speculation that the nuclear weapons were intended for a covert mission to Iran, and the Office of the Vice President was probably involved in bypassing the normal chain of military command (see: http://tinyurl.com/2hbjk9 ). The discovery of the B-52 came on top of rapidly increasing speculation that the Bush administration is about to authorize a massive preemptive aerial assault against Iran. According to the Sunday Times, the Pentagon has prepared for air strikes against 1,200 targets in Iran that would in three days destroy Iran's military infrastructure (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2369001.ece ). What gives reports of a planned attack against Iran involving nuclear weapons greater credibility is a number of mysterious August 2007 purchases of a particular type of stock called 'put options' and 'call options' which are based on a dramatic shift in the U.S. stock market (see: http://www.anomalicresearch.com/optioncall.html ). Essentially, a "put option" is where an investor speculates that the market will drop dramatically, say 30-50%, whereas a "call option" is where the investor bets particular stocks will rise just as dramatically. If the stock fails to dramatically shift either up or down by September 21, then the investors stands to lose much from their investment. Such an investment is very unusual and has many market analysts puzzled as to why anonymous investors would risk such large sums unless they had insider information. A similar stock market event happened in the weeks before 911 when anonymous investors made great profits when they successfully 'predicted' a dramatic drop in airline and insurances stocks, while also 'predicting' dramatic increases in stocks of corporations producing military armaments stocks (see: http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html ). The investments were so suspicious that they became subject to an insider trading investigation by U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) but the no one was ever identified or charged. This was despite a determined effort by the SEC to find who was behind the investments. 
The parallels with 'put" and "call option" purchases just before 911 has led to speculation that the August billion dollar investments are based on insider knowledge of another 911 event before September 21. This led to predictions of a catastrophic event about to occur in the U.S. Another explanation for a dramatic shift in the stock market is that China will desert the US currency leading to a collapse in the US dollar. Both explanations would essentially lead to a collapse in some U.S. stocks, while other stocks would rise.
A more plausible explanation for the mysterious billion dollar investments is that anonymous investors had insider knowledge that an attack against Iran would occur before September 21, and this would involve nuclear weapons. If an aerial attack occurred along the scale described by the Sunday Times report and involved nukes, then the U.S. stock market would collapse as oil prices escalated dramatically. This would spark a global recession, and cause great hardship to many Americans who would find their investments and jobs at risk.
The nuclear armed B-52 was likely to be used in a covert mission in or near Iran. This mission would either have been secretly integrated into an aerial attack against Iran's military infrastructure, or used in a False Flag operation that would have justified a U.S. assault on Iran. Admiral William Fallon, Commander of U.S. Central Command, was to direct conventional bombing operations against Iran’s military infrastructure. The covert mission, however, would have had a different chain of command, where the Office of the Vice President was to take a prominent role. The nuclear weapons on the B-52 had adjustable yields between five and 150 kilotons which would have made them suitable in taking out Iran’s deep underground nuclear facilities. The effect of tactical nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities would have been devastating. Radioactive contamination would have dispersed widely affecting the health of millions in the region. At the same time, Iran's military and much of its civilian infrastructure would be destroyed by conventional munitions. This would have restricted Iran's abilities to cope with the health and humanitarian impact of the use of nuclear weapons, and destruction of its nuclear facilities.
One question to be asked is ‘who are the hidden investors with insider knowledge that stood to gain billions in short term profits from a possible attack against Iran’? This answer will give an important clue to the long term agenda being played out, and the principal actors involved. In the case of 911, similar investors were able to evade detection from an official investigation by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC launched an unprecedented investigation that deputized "hundreds, if not thousands, of key players in the private sector" (see: http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html ). According to former Los Angeles Police Officer, Michael Ruppert, what happens when individuals are deputized is that they are sworn to secrecy on national security grounds. This was a very effective way of keeping secret what was discovered in the SEC investigation. What is the most plausible explanation for the kind of investor that would have the power to subvert an SEC investigation in this manner? The most likely answer is the Central Intelligence Agency.
CIA front companies annually supply funds for a black budget used to fund covert national security projects . The black budget has been estimated to range between 1.1 to 1.7 trillion dollars annually which is funneled through the CIA to various military-corporate entities fulfilling such projects (see: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0401/S00151.htm ). The massive size of the black budget is needed to fund a ‘second’ Manhattan Project. Projects so deeply compartmentalized and classified, that most members of Congress are not informed of their existence.
The CIA is uniquely suited to perform this function of secretly raising revenue through the 1949 CIA Act which authorizes the CIA to expend funds "without regard to any provisions of law” (50USC 15:1.403f.a.1.). The CIA therefore does not have to follow any legal requirements for the funds it procures from various sources, and funnels to military-corporate entities directly responsible for the second Manhattan project.
The discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 is likely to lead to an indefinite delay in plans for a preemptive military attack against Iran. There is nevertheless a need to expose the principle actors and the underlying agendas of those behind the covert plans to use nuclear weapons. It is also important to expose anonymous investors that intended to profit from such an attack before September 21, and had insider knowledge of this. President Eisenhower warned that an informed public is the best safeguard against unwarranted abuses of executive power. The preemptive attack against Iran that does not have the support of the American people or Congress, would qualify for such an abuse.
The period leading up to September 21, 2007 was to witness a preemptive attack against Iran, involving nuclear weapons loaded on at least one B-52 bomber. The humanitarian cost in terms of radioactive fallout, and casualties from the destruction of Iran's military and much of its civilian infrastructure would have been catastrophic for the Persian Gulf region. Furthermore, the U.S. and global economy would have gone into a deep free fall in the event of dramatic increases in oil prices and further instability in the Middle East. Out of this planned tragedy, anonymous investors with possible CIA connections and insider knowledge, planned to profit. These funds ways would have been used to secretly fund a second Manhattan Project that piggy backed an aggressive neo-conservative agenda in Iran. The discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 has averted such a tragedy for the moment. Now is the time to make accountable all responsible for this frustrated plan.

Get Wasted
Planet earth to the "Living Dead," do you all get the joke yet? Our nuclear warfighting elite have pulled the "Trigger" on us once again. This is why they can't keep a straight face in ordinary conversation. "They" have pulled the nuclear Trigger on us several times over the decades, and each time the Extraterrestrials have "Grabbed them by the Electrons." Steve Fossett is playing hide and go seek with the Air Force, so that they can search for the missing nuclear tipped cruise missile and find it before someone else finds it. "ET" will probably give the cruise missile back as soon as enough of you wake up to what you have just witnessed: Your Immolation with the use of nuclear weapons. Instead of talking about the nuclear fallout in Iran, it could be useful to be talking about the nuclear fallout here in America from this most recent attempt to get a full blown nuclear war underway, and shut us all up once and for all. The ongoing war in Iraq is not merely a crime against the Iraqis, rather, war itself is a crime against all human kind. These nuclear weapons have our name on them. The insider trading groups understand all of this only too well.

Magicians Don't Perform Magic
Don't be too sure about this: "The discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 is likely to lead to an indefinite delay in plans for..." Performing magicians use a trick of distracting your attention to one hand while the other hand is doing "the real magic." They divert your attention via a false maneuver so that the real work can be done out of sight. Magicians don't "perform magic" - they create illusions. Black Budget operations are EXPENSIVE and they are created via the work of large think tanks employing hundreds of full time "illusionists" who "game" each scenario to take into account all the possible outcomes and identify weak spots. It would be almost impossible for one person to suss out the real picture in a puzzle designed by hundreds of full time gamers. When you witness a big dust up over here... quick take a look behind you since the action you witness is the one they quite probably intended you to see - while the real trick is probably going on elsewhere. Don't believe anything until they issue the official denial. We know from experience with the Bushites that the truth is usually the polar opposite of what they say it is. If the public "somehow" got wind of a suspicious nuke flight and the suspicious stock betting - you should probably assume 'they' wanted us to know and to be distracted by that - meanwhile, something else is quite probably cooking elsewhere. by mrk * (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 312 comments [12 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Sep 10, 2007 at 8:45:49 PM (0+)

Reply: umm no...
Listen dumb ass... an inncodent in the military (USAF) happened... The military times, a military news paper..... would have probally heard about it first. Do you actually think that someone would have the balls to go to CNN first about something like this? no... And there was no specific person who told the news paper... it was leaked by word of mouth, each time changing as the story was told... totally distorting the reality of what happened... and thus these big consperacy theories came to exsist. I dont know why i read this stuff.. its just a waste of my time. I feel more dumb now. by bob lambarti (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 2 comments) on Thursday, Sep 20, 2007 at 4:35:41 PM (0+)

I so wondered what the reaction to this article would be
as I vetted it to a number of people. Reaction to it is VERY Slow, but then it takes time for what happened to to sink in. The whole story and its SOURCE, produces a psychic shock on people's minds and systems. I despise being "tested" and that's what this story does .. it sets off every type of feeling, reaction, imagining probability after probability to the point of total overwhelm. It's the stuff of cognitive dissonance .. what we are TOLD is happening versus what we THINK is happening versus what is REALLY happening are all at VARIANCE, which is very hard to deal with and can only result in OVERWHELM. Who knows what is really going on ...? Do the nuclear madmen even have a clue one wonders? At least with Chernobyl, which is the closest analogy one can infer, there was THE SMOKING GUN -- pictures of incredible power in people's faces. The dead could be shown, the disabilities flaunted. But the baseline issue is absolutely no different .. madmen cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. The Soviets found, to their dismay, that their total obsession with besting the US, its nemesis, by a build up of weapons systems left them not only financially broke but morally as well. Their "carelessness" left the soviet republic citizens with NO CHOICE but to go out and cease back control of their countries before it was too late. The "Wall" didn't fall down because of clever US military bankruptcy strategic policy, but because citizens said "ENOUGH"!! Their reaction was seize control of the media. Have Americans had ENOUGH yet? I would prefer to believe this some sort of cosmic wakeup call and will continue to hope that the antinuclear movement jumps all over this and people will feel a NEED to take action to scream loud and long about this as what we are witnessing is a complete threat to human survival, perpetrated for manipulating the human race, the US in particular. Regardless of a hidden agenda that might be afoot and the economic prospering off human greedso manipulations we see afoot, it's time for the US Citizen to step up to the plate in his own interest and speak out full time until this threatening regime is GONE. Even some of the powers that be should see through this one and be able, in their OWN interest, to scream ENOUGH. I think things are gonna change SOON. Whether one wishes to assume that ETs will come and save us, or that The Rapture will provide a solution doesn't actual matter; what matters is that we start loving ourselves ENOUGH that we will act in our own best interest. Perhaps the September 15th demonstrations will show (as this story gets filtered into public awareness) that we now have a common cause to rally around, which is the survival of ALL. Or is there some kind of collective human death wish ...? by ladybroadoak (39 articles, 20 quicklinks, 12 diaries, 394 comments) on Monday, Sep 10, 2007 at 9:26:15 PM (0+)

"B-52 Bomber Incident & Insider Trading etc by Michael Salla
Try the following crazy and criminal scenario for size simply because Bush is crazier and Cheney is more criminal! Had not the B 52 'incident' been exposed, its payload would have been hidden away anywhere on Earth, including the US. Then the nukes would have been found to be 'missing' followed by a media blitzkrieg claiming they had been 'stolen', ending finally with Al Qaeda related "terrorists' being accused of having done so. By then questions like how, when & why wouldn't matter because 50% Americans would be emptying their bladders or taking the highways to Canada and Mexico out of FEAR. (Poor Canadians & Chicanos). Another 48%, mainly from the Christian(?) Belt would be DEMANDING the 'vaporizing' of the Middle East, based on their "Rapture" dream of Jesus descending from on top of the 'mushrooms' in to the Hell below caused by his 'second coming' believers. ( I wonder what Christ would have to say to them upon landing.) Another 1% would be calling for sanity and clear thinking but as always to no avail. The remaining 1% of Americans will be 'minting gold' as proferred by Michael Salla. Outside America, in its yet to be 51st State, there would be a lot of "Heh! Heh! We did it again!" Nothing is beyond this 1% of Americans and yet to be Americans. by syed mahdi (1 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 156 comments [17 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Wednesday, Sep 12, 2007 at 3:38:25 AM (0+)

anon investors...
Yea, Right, Sure... someone knows who those investors are. there is no way to do biz in the markets w/o some sort of registration/tracking. those investors' names may be buried in private corps but the names exist. the wtc harddrives were sent to Germany for data salvage to Convar which was bought by Kroll, which has huge ties to the US gov, and was promptly never heard of or seen again, then Kroll was acquired by Marsh & McLennan, a former occupant of Tower One's 95th floor. Kroll's former President, Michael Cherkasky, was named Marsh's CEO. (Formerly, Cherkasky had "spent 16 years in the criminal justice system, including serving as chief of the Investigations Division for the New York County District Attorney's Office.") I have the links to these articles.. but apparently... the "comment editor sftwr" won't let me post, as i've tried 3 times to link utilizing a "shortened phrase" and not the url in entirety.. eyeroll..... oh well.... by k kelly (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 182 comments) on Wednesday, Sep 12, 2007 at 6:45:48 AM (0+)
